Stunning Teeamwork (Valentine variant)

[Darkman]

Started this one today and Valentine didn't start in the formation. Click damage does not work since nothing is stunned. So no way to earn money... except for using silver chests and clicking on distractions. And Valentine is slot 5 so that takes forever to get to...

I tried to restart game but the bug persisted. The variant itself is kinda expensive...
Anyone else got a little pissed on this. Had another variant doing the same in Waterdeep, hindering click damage and not giving me any champions.

Anyone else had this for Valentine?

"Monsters take 99% less damage when they are not stunned" => they are not completely invulnerable. If you start with an empty party, use distractions to hire the cheapest champion, and then go on as usual. I know at least two other missions with a similar problematic starting area, one in Dragon Heist, and the other in Icewind Dale.

Yeah, I've been to one of them. My problem here was the variant said you were starting with Valentine and then it didn't. Which can easily be a big problem for new players with almost no gold find/favor. And since it's a event variant it cost 1000 event token to start, so it's a big kicker that you don't get Valentine in the starter formation.

I have not started doing variants yet. However, favor from running Valentine's recruitment mission to z636 with my farming team should probably be enough for most of them.

What other champions can stun?

[kab_reg]

Actually, quite a lot, e.g. Selise, Freely, Pwent, etc. The most useful ones are probably Freely and Selise.

To add to kab_reg, a quick list, with probably some miss:

Seat 1: D'hani in right spec will stun.
Seat 2: Donnar's command has a stun effect.
Seat 4: Stoki have a spec build around stun, Sentry in left spec add a snare/stun effect to her base attack.
Seat 5: Pwent as said above.
Seat 6: Krond has a spec than stun (middle) & Sgt. Knox can stun with ultimate.
Seat 7: Freely so, Jim's Wand of wonder has a stun effect, Gazrick can stun with 50% chance on base attack, Catti-Brie can stun with Mark for Death, Lucius can also stun with elemental adept.
Seat 8 : Hew maan can have stun with ultimate depending on position.
Seat 9: Aila is a stunner too (Raiding Storm & ultimate), Lazaapz's main base attack has a stun too.
Seat 10: Wulfgar is a great stunner (but only decent tank in a CotH formation).
Seat 11: Avren's base attack has one shard that stuns.
Seat 12: Selise.

Thank you very much, I have some of the champions.
