N.E.R.D.S

Out of curiosity, does anybody use any different combination other than Orange, Green, Red? They really need a feat like Ellywick to instantly roll that combination. So tired of having to reroll 24/7 or encountering the bug, where they don't change color due to a bug, because you were changing areas.

[Hecate]

I don't use them it's even better, but I'm nbot an Arty player.

But if you use them, there is absolutely no reason to use other colors. Maybe in an extreme situation where NERDS can be your only DPS or you desperately need an healer and it's the only available, but even. I'm pretty sure a pure support will out DPS them then.

[Hecate]

But even when I use Arty, I don't use them (because I use Arte on restrictions and NERDS don't like restrictions) and in all, NERDS is boring to use, not only because of setup colors, but you also need to reactivate Warrior buffing regullary - too tedious for me for an idle game.

What I also have noticed with NERDS is that they tend to lag out the game, like a LOT! I mostly use a guide for my Arti team, so I wouldn't really know what alternative champs there are :O Hoping for a revised guide that uses Bobby though.

I use NERDS with Artemis only, and as said above, Orange Red Green is the only useful combo.

At low Artemis ilvl, yes, there is a lot : every good support with a large positional is probably better (but Artemis is not very good at low ilvl anyway). But the more you have ilvl with him, the more NERDS will shine. A "DPS" with two positional buffs, of course Artemis will love them. As will his dentist soon enough. But at high ilvl, Artemis will z2001 even without them, also...

You can definitely do decent things without them, I quickly tested a thing:

And I'm not an Artemis player, my legs and pigments only count for 5e65 there.

What ilv does your Artemis have? Mine is at almost 4k. Splitting my contracts between him and Valentine.

Well I guess your other champions are quite impressive then! My evergreens are sitting at 4k and other than the greenies, my best champion Artemis is at almost 4k followed by Valentine :(
Thank god they added the new and improved Ellywick though. Been farming gems nonstop and I really hope to catch up to you guys very soon!

[Hecate]

My evergreen are at around 24k, but Briv still steals almost all my contracts (the change to Elly pushed me to start the road to 9j).

On the screenshot:
Lae'zel 317 / Artemis 1515 / Karlach 256 / Valentine 2546 / Fen 554 /
Jim 1010 / Beadle 403 / Birdsong 1752 / Strix 1350 / Bobby 2537

On them: Valentine, Jim & Birdsong are in my main team. Strix was in a former formation. Bobby is overgeared thanks to new Elly's gems hold up (way more gems → way more bounty contracts).

PS: All their prestack gear (at least) are shiny, too.

Ahh I like your taste! Going for a Bobby team, I guess? :-)
Also if you dont mind and in case you have a fully optimized gem farming setup, would you mind sharing it with me?

For reference this is mine. I'm using a slightly altered version of Tyredacks.
Pretty sure I could speed the process up even more.
Currently I'm doing this:
Reset at 834, start with medium and large speed potion, using speed core. Letting Briv jump to give or take level 600ish, start taking damage at around 780 so I can farm more steel stacks, getting stacks by using Dragonbaits overwhelm buff, at around 834 I reset with 17k steelbone stacks.

Not really, I hesitate for Bobby, but the utility of Miria (clone + ultimate boss killer) is just too strong for me for now.

I farm gems through script (but not on 24/24 7/7 basis) and so I follow the official discord guidelines on that: quite mandatory sadly as every time the game is patched, the script definitions have to be changed (and some scripts are also changed frequently). I was reluctant to do so for long, but when you start to farm with Briv, you end a day being tired to do fine tuning regullary to adjust your farm stack area; and so just say to yourself, if it's tolerated (to the point the official discord has that script section), I'm stupid not to let the script handle that all for me.

When I was farming with Briv without script, I used the previous version of that guide (that start to be aged too, but the key ideas are still there):

The presence of Dragonbait on your screenshot suggests me you're quite following the guide already.

I read through the guide. Seems like that going as high as 834 like in my case isnt necessary. But that guide looks like a loooooooooooooooooot of steel stacks farming so you can unleash them all at once. Guess I'll give it a try.

I was mostly using Tyredacks guide from a gear or so ago.
