unspeakable horrors challenge

[Lost Question]

so what should warden be spec'ed as flys or smite?

[Purple Tentacle]

Potion of fire breath ;)

[RWarehall]

Does anyone know the exact multiplier of the Eldritch Horror Buffs? And are they multiplicitive or additive? I don't want to waste the candles if I can't beat it. I'm fairly new to the game, so my guess is I have no real chance but if I knew the exact effect, I could at least crunch the numbers of lost buffs vs buffs gained to see if I have a chance.

I believe it was 20k% each and it was multiplicitive. I ended up with warden, celeste and calliope at the end and a potion of fire breath :D Warden is single target for a long time before you can even afford the aoe so it really helps speeding things up.

[markulous]

Always spec Warden with Smite. The other spec is not very useful.

Since warden was the dps I went with flies and it worked out well.

Don't attempt it with less than 1,000m favor and as many blue gear as you can get or use potions.

I had 488m favor and barely beat it without potions on the bonus weekend which had double gold drops, had all blue except one of his damage items was green and the ultimates were green.

Had to hammer stack and switch to Celeste, and use Warden's ultimate to clear the bosses at levels 160+

Did it with around 16mil favor but i did have to use ultimates later on some of the bosses, do you have the blessings that let your champs do 2x dmg on other campaigns?

My warden is crap geared with 2 whites for his damage increase atm but my celeste is full epic and calliope 5/6 which makes a difference ofcourse but it's different for everyone how much favor they need depending how geared some champions are and what blessings they have

this is the real answer, progress slows down so much. totally worth the potion or two

[azrealdarkchyld]

wow, I feel like an idiot. I was just using Warden and Warden alone, thinking I couldn't use other characters. Was stuck at 136 for a day. Now, I'm just blasting through the last half

[BrettMan]

I went with smite, but in hindsight, flies may have been better since having warden as the main dps meant only one kill per 4.75s. Eldritch horror bonus is multiplicative and for levels 151-175 I was getting 1.33e18% bonus. In the last 25 levels you will have only the three slots at the top with warden in the middle.

Considering the last and hardest 25 levels it's just Warden and 2 buffers, yes. I was using Calliope and Nayeli, with Warden sandwiched between them (they happened to be my strongest buffers, after many champion swaps spent evaluating all the options).

[Purple Tentacle]

All it depends how many favors collected. I have ~e7 and one potion was the easiest way to complete this mission.

[BrettMan]

Just finished it with 1.6e10 favour, using calliope and nayeli. I didn't hit any roadblocks along the way but could not progess past 176 after losing another buffer. I did not have to use any items.

[SuperTim]

I finally finished this one after losing it at 1e9 favour...

This time I did it with 5e10 favour and a huge firebreath potion, with mostly deekin and shandie (for speed) and at the very end i used nayelli for power.

This was not a fun challenge, but I completed it!

I was at mid e7 no potions used.
