Monster Train 2 looks like THAT?!

Monster Train 2 looks like THAT?!

I jacked off to the mushroom

It's weird how no one cares about this fucking game on Anon Babble, must be the mobile game aesthetics, it looks like one of those fake games where you need to pull pins to make treasure fall on the smug faces protagonist

Okay I'm interested now.

I played the first game. It was fine. Nothing crazy. Got bored of it after about 30 or so hours. The art style is terrible tho.

Of course just my luck that the run that started me off with a greed dragon was also the run that never gave me a goddamn way to get hoard loot. At least I got the wings to overload floors and the more unit upgrades relic but man I can't imagine even taking on the titans when I'm still struggling with seraph. At the very least I really need to draft a sweeper or get trample or something with how many reanimate jerks fill the board

figured I might as well check the game out by watching Northernlion play it (haven't watched the guy since practically he became a dad)

video immediately starts off with him arguing with someone in his chat that NL's wife is the boss of the family and goes off on some weird feminist rant that if your wife called you "boss" people would be concerned for her wellbeing

This

There's just too many fucking games, man. Bad time for an indie game to come out. Fantasy Life and Doom just came out, some people are still finishing Oblivion or Expedition 33, etc. Just not enough time to play or talk about this shit.

came out 2 days ago

what the fuck, i didn't even know they were working on this
guess i know what i'll be doing for the rest of the day

They did seem to realize having actual T&A is a good thing, though I wish they had more in-depth lorebits with the cards.
One of things I missed in the demo, along with the Umbra I loved those guys and they got fucking shafted with the balancing.

steam says i've played for 17 hours

just unlocked the herzal horde pyre heart

Man I really don't use the train stewards

Covenant 10 is too easy, they better add more difficulty levels next update

Anyone nab it on Switch? All I can see is that its 30 FPS stable but I can't find anything concrete

What ticks me off about this run is how greatly I was steamrolling everything else that I feel that if I had just fought any other version of seraph this shit would have been a cakewalk. Corruption and resurrection have to be the worst combo to run into wave after wave. Honestly don't even mind resurrection on maybe one or two waves or if I opt into it, but every wave having 1-2 resurrection 2(meaning they have to die 3 times) assholes is excessive especially when I have to juggle a frontline due to corruption. Actually I'm curios for the people who are tackling the titan already and/or the dudes who are getting consistent cov 10 wins whats the plan for seraph? Right now mine looks like this:

Savagery: High damage/defense + something to protect against sweep or snipe sweep mobs

Entropy: Piercing spells or other methods to deal with spell resist mobs + scaling damage/DoT effects or sky-high damage that won't lose to sap

Dominion: Endless/expendable frontline + healing/armor for the backline + Multi attack sweepers

Stewards are fine. One or two upgrades and you can just dump them all on one floor and forget about them.

I would rather spend upgrades on real units

REAL GAMERS have been playing this nonstop since it came out.

I think they are literally the first cards I purge every run.

Stewards ARE real units which let you flesh out your selection WITHOUT having to draft a billion units and then also remove all the Stewards.

I have no idea how I spoiler-tagged my entire post (didn't hit the shortcut), but okay Anon Babble. Whatever, sorry.

I mean yes, technically the big stewards are real units but they are extremely shitty. I understand spending 20 gold on a health upgrade if you're desperate but i would rather use almost anything else.

The best unit in the game isn't even a banner unit

This unit being 1-cost 1-size is pretty fucking wild.

If that's just a blanket steward boost like the relic in the first game, shit sounds nice, will let you be far more aggressive early game.

Some of the Pyres are hilariously unbalaced

hEHE gain 25 mone when monster die hittin ur pyre hehe

Draw 1 moar card when u play 2 card of diffwent faction :3

OR

Get +4 deployable mana at a small cost increase

Have the ability to copy any card you have at any shop keep, including their upgrades

Drawing 1 more card for free every turn is pretty good

How much longer do runs go on for than in the demo? I enjoyed the demo but it got boring really fast, hoping the new content goes deeper rather than just being a bunch of new factions. How much more pyreborn (for example) content is there than the demo?
Wondering if I shiuld get this or just stick to the first game and StS while I wait for StS2

you can't really compare that to the effects of those other pyres, is more what i mean.
Sure in a vacuum extra drawing is good depending on your build.

the full game has 10 factions and 2 leaders for each faction, with runs taking about an hour
the first monster train has about half the content

Each clan gets 1 to 2 new cards per level up, plus a new trinket and artifact.
At level 5, each clan also gets a new hero that you can pick instead.

In this game, you can also unlock alot of Pyre hearts that grant various different effects you can choose at the start, and once you unlock 4 of them, you get an extra challenge mode with unique conditions for the runs, taht unlock more shit.

Unfortunately he's drastically lost the plot, I've stopped watching him years ago when it was less about being funny and more about "owning the chat" and moral grandstand
like shut the fuck up retard and keep playing video games that pay for your cushy suburban life, you have no actual life experience so you sound like an out of touch retard

no idea who you guys are talking about

check

see this

Well, I can't say that I'm surprised.

Most of Anon Babble would rather jack off to this.

this game looks fucking disgusting. what the fuck am I looking at

Nah, i'm jerking it to the Luna Coven

After he had his daughter his youtube channel stopped getting original content, it's just his raw stream sliced up, no editing to remove shit sections, and his streams are dogshit with a chat that mindlessly sucks him off

I want mommy mushroom booba

I don't know if I just suck at the game but I'm not having any fun, I coast all my runs until the final boss, my good unit dies, I lose, and then the whole thing feels like a chore
The only time I won a run I slapped multi strike on hoard dragon, cloned it 5 times and then cheated on room size with that artifact that automatically slap a unit on every floor and it just felt like I lucked out
The new champ all sucks balls too, I can have hoard dragon with it's 100/100 stats or lord Fenix pinging a random unit for 5

Yeah this sounds like you just suck at the game.

the entire point of the game is finding broken combos and bending the game over your knee
if you're too much of a brainlet to figure that out then follow a guide or something

Yeah I remember him even saying the reason he abandoned his youtube channel and decided to focus entirely on streaming is that on twitch everyone agrees with him while on youtube people leave mean comments. I'm paraphrasing of course.

bro talks about his one summer working in an office at least once a month to not seem out of touch

Might need to think about how to break the game more, every clan has some strategy they lean too that makes that so much easier and the new champs are fine, they even ensured this time that each clan has at least one path that adds scaling to the champion. lord fenix casually tossing a 400+ damage nuke to the whole floor every turn is pure comedy gold, while fel stacks valor so quickly that even despite that and her innate multi-strike I'm still surprised at how often the moonman or the big shroom hits harder than her.

Are hoardbuilds any good?

I got filtered by stacking my units on top. I SHOULD'VE RESTARTED THE FIGHT AND DONE IT AT THE BOTTOM. FUUCK.

Has anyone found a way to make this guy work? No matter what path I take on him it feels like he does nothing

Haven't tried him yet. Once i unlocked the Underlegion it's like everything else disappeared.

Still working on unlocks, What do his paths do?

grafted units proc artificer on summon, his units are useful. just spam equips in any way you can, he's not bad. his other ability that has the attack increase is good too. The devour or whatever I don't really know what to do with. It seems weak considering you can accomplish the same thing fairly easily.

The one that gives you money when you take pyre damage is actually huge. From Cov 5 onwards you get two Vengeful Shards in your deck. If you simply don't play them, you get a free 20 gold every time your deck cycles through which can give you an extra 100+ gold per ring later on at a negligible cost to pyre health.

They brought back the dipshitted faggot nigger challenge where everything is random including spell targets and your entire floor spins around every turn
Just like in the first game it feels like you have to spam attempts until you get lucky, great design

So don't do the challenge?

No I must unlock everything

Getting trample from laz league on a slay champion

Oh man the stacks, I can see it all god bless these necromantic fucks I can taste 100 innate conduit

Man talos really is dogshit. Unless you roll a good unit you're not even winning the first battle. What the hell is this.

Anybody able to answer this for me?

Unlock Mushrooms

First card i get is Glow up

These dudes are op as hell, aren't them

no she isn't lol

Alright I wasn't seeing it before but man laz league really is the great enabler for slay scaling champs that lack trample/multi-attack. 99 Conduit going into seraph, and 110 on the final turn able to clear out the whole wave one trample punch and early kill seraph feels like I'm finally touching the good shit. The 200 damage acid rain on holdover was just really unnecessary

Ok so propagate is not a balanced mechanic and i love it.
If you get a card with holdover its GG.

Maybe in covenant -30

No she's good in 10

Wait a minute, that card...

Aren't THEY.

it's the same fucking game as 1 and it has no justification for existing except scamming those who bought the first game

I love how fucking unhinged the Lazarus League can get while still being really strong. Unfortunate that Reanimate doesn't work with specifically perma scaling extinguish effects though

FUCK Your

For me, while I'm only doing 9 for now, and still doing random runs to get everything to 10.
Damage shield absolutely destroys corruption, especially with quick units and proliferation. Same with regen or sacrificial frontline units (resurrections, morsels, rally units, regen), and the counters for resurrections so far, thorns, and unstable worked really well. But for the boss midway a beefy enough frontline took care of him.
Honestly the corruption mid boss seems way harder to me compared to the seraph. At the seraph, its my fault if I can't manage, but midway trough a run, when I did not have the chance to even pick up anything? Nah, fuck that hooded nurgling.

Pretty much overall consistency vs high rolling. Doubling a card is great, but I had plenty of runs so far where I needed 1 double and not any more. I'm pleasantly surprised how much variety the pyres give me. I had a few runs with the free room limit after fights and it carried me hard. Same for 3 amber on demand.

Isn't he one of the larger streamers/youtubers? Why not hire a fucking editor at that point?

As a secondary clan sure. But how the fuck do you get the equip permanently gains 2/4/6 atk to scale to any level? It seems so pathetically slow. Reforming graft units does nothing, resurrection does not seem to do anything either, removing an equip does not give you the equip, it just destroys it.... it just seems so bad.

There is an unofficial channel called Library of Letourneau that edits (quite well in fact) only the good parts of NL's streams

if you go full melee weakness path and mind cage and fly every turn she's still bad but at least does something to contribute
her kit has so many small anti-synergies it's almost crazy

she applies valor to everyone in the row but valor is much better when you concentrate it on the front line unit

there is no built in way to interact with Shift besides flying (which is on a 2 turn cooldown by default), meaning half the Banished units scale terribly with her

Her celebration line is win-more but you will almost always be playing from behind with her. Even if you get full value from it, it just isn't good

Going one big row to get full value from her Resolve passive/class card is punished by many mechanics in the game

There are more things but I'm getting tired of typing lol

I don't think there's anything in the game that synergizes with her crappy starting spell, even less on her faction where half the units want to keep spinning.
The fact that celebration only applies if she (and others) survive is lol. You're never triggering that shit. I spent a few hours trying to make her work with literally anything and couldn't find a way. Maybe she'll get reworked or something, right now she's unplayable.

So its not just me thinking that she is literally the worst of all the champions?
All her scaling seems so slow or full of anti synergies.

Explain to me how these dudes are balanced

Look at the buffs

Well, the game is kinda about breaking balance.

Who said anything about balance :3
I fucking love that combo.
Is it the rally one or the slay one? Because the rally one can also spiral out of control. I think mine was hitting for 800x3 with 700 hp no trample musshy lads are easily my favorite so far.

Yeah i love busted this is.
It was the Rally 1 + Headhunter 2

Anon Babble has proven time and again to just devolve into shitposting over deckbuilders for some fucking reason. We will have a few good threads before they get drowned out by autists who hate the genre.

Was announced as an april fools joke, the joke being the game is real. Thats at least how I found out.

He's strong as fuck. You can just spam equip him with garbage and he'll scale everything on the floor to the moon.

are the old clans changed significantly or are they basically ported over?

if she had tits maybe

Can I get a qrd on the mushroom niggas?

Strong as fuck, easy to scale, both champions are really good. Also really fun seeing numbers go up on the entire floor.

What's the strat tho? I can't seem to use them properly
And what teams should I match them up with?

I can't seem to use them properly

Anon don't be a shitter.
2 things
Promulugate and Spawn. That's all you need.
Promulugate in particular is busted because it increase stacks and thus timers, of any buff or debuff.

Think about it. Imagine getting 10+ stacks of reanimate, or keep refreshing and increasing melee weakness stacks on enemies or bosses.

They can be support with decay stacking on the first floors while you stack something else up top or you can just assemble the team and scale a really huge shroom. For shroom scaling you do need to assemble the entire team, at the very least the spawn 4 guy and the little shroom that gives trample to Funguy and even then you need a LOT of proliferate to scale well.

How do you make Banished and Luna work together?

Does reanimate still trigger on death and harvest effects? If so thats rad as fuck combined with propagate.
