Let me tell you about a funny thing. Horde mode. In it, as everywhere else, there are various very tasty cards. They give where 25, where 30, and where as much as 50% to something. Beauty! And among all the cards there is one small, almost imperceptible one. Backpack Check.


The average price of it, as it is easy to calculate 15 / 0.05813 = 258 crystals. Considering that the horde sessions by this time last 5-7 months - almost free :) At the same time, each such card allows us to equip one additional thing. And here's what things are at this level. This is what accumulated during the time I was testing this idea and writing this text :)


Each Mystical Card increases damage, health and bone gain by 1.1 times. Total 1.1 to the power of 13 = 3.45. 345%! Against 25-50 for other cards :) And at the same time, we do not forget that things, among other things, also give an effect, in particular, the specified Fire Orb gives 80% Crit Damage, which doubles the damage with a crit of 160%, plus we do not forget about 200+ attacks. A little, but also a plus to the damage.

Here is such a funny card. I don't understand why we need something else :)

How are you progressing so fast?

Heh. At the University I received the Knowledge of the Ancients. They allow you to skip time not only in one feature like the Ancient hourglass, but in the entire game as a whole. Well... here :) Somehow so ... I've been playing somewhere for two years now :)

Wouldn't "Corruption Not Allowed" and "Into the Trash" be a better combo for this? It'd give three equipment capacity and also reduce corruption as an additional small bonus. And using your math for the cost, 19.16/0.1375 = 139 green gem cost for "Corruption Not Allowed" and 19.16/0.055 = 347 green gem cost.

139 + 347 = 486 average cost for the two cards, which is less than double the cost of "Backpack Check" for an additional equipment slot. I agree that Backpack Check is weirdly powerful, but I think that more powerful strategies exist if you look at the farther down packs, especially using "Corruption Not Allowed" to compensate for the additional corruption.

Here! Here is finally a person who attentively studies mechanics! :) Man, I almost love you! And yes, of course you're right, it's better. Thanks for the advice :) At the next launch, I will definitely use it :)

However, then the question arises what to equip for an additional two places... I put all the garbage in these 12. But it's still better to have than not to have :)
