Vaelian's Favor: "Increases hit chance by 10% and critical hit chance by 5%." It doesn't do either.
ReplyDeleteAh, good catch! Thanks for the report, will get those fixed.
DeleteCrystal Shell and Earthen Wall icons on Illyria (Crystal Warden) in combat seem to not work for me. E.wall only shows on others, and c.shell shows up randomly on her (the icon, net the effect, I think?).
ReplyDelete"net" = "not"
DeleteEarthen Wall specifically affects everyone -but- her.
Delete"Conjure an earthen wall to protect allies, granting >>>other party members<<< a shared absorb effect. While the wall persists, ally defense increased by 20%. Five round cooldown."
For crystal shell, you should check her passives.
I totally didn't read the new girl's (Illyria) passives.
DeleteAlso what confused me was - Salvation: Heal all allies with divine radiance.
DeleteWhich heals everyone. How about this: "Conjure an earthen wall to protect others,..." She buffs everyone but herself, which is kinda weird, I dunno... Also the mechanic for e.wall with the HP buffer is strange. It's not intuitive at all. Not a big deal in the end, obviously.
Will consider. I don't really agree with the wall being an absorb shield not being intuitive, though, since it's conceptually not so far apart from Ice Barrier or Crystal Shell. Basically the absorb shield reflects the effort needed by the enemy to break through the barrier.
DeleteFirst, it does work kinda the same as Ice Barrier, which is up to 5 turns. Counterpoint: Lorena fucked off to Avalonia or wherever that bitch went. (Full Moon path is the only canonical path, no questions about that!)
DeleteCrystal Shell is just a damage barrier (bubble). The unintuitive part is, that a buff usually last X amout of turns or until the end of combat (which is essentially infinite amount of turns), NOT until I take X amount of DMG. Also, one could reasonably ask: "Does the X amount of DMG consider only physical attacks or does it count also magical DMG?" E.wall has literally no interaction with spells, why would it care for magic DMG then? Realistically, it just counts DMG, no matter the source, but you could see someone making that assumption, right? Considering I open the game in RPG maker and it still isn't crystal clear to me, I dunno if others wouldn't be even more confused.
