Come watch live: twitch.tv/perrythepig Join the Discord Server: discord.gg/5VfSCH7This Dice Game is great! | Astrea: Six-Sided OraclesPerry the Pig2024-10-01 | "Astrea" is a deckbuilding roguelite that has 2 unique features: (1) it uses Dice instead of Cards, and (2) it uses a purify/corrupt Health Bar instead of a Traditional Health Bar, and the gameplay implications are wonderful. Good gameplay, good learning curve, and lots of opportunities to feel like I'm playing a Vintage Storm Deck in Magic The Gathering.
If you're into Slay the Spire, I really encourage you to try this game.
I was planning to sink an hour or two into drastically editing this video to make it shorter, but listen.... There's only so much time in a day. If you're in the market for this kind of a game, enjoy the uncut gameplay.

This build comes from Mastersword, an active member of my community. He plays a ton of Sentinel Builds, and has a healthy appreciation for the sharper things in life. His current Rive build highlights an interaction between Rive, Scrap Metal, Forge Strike, and the new unique ring Phantom Grip.

DOT EQ was a top performing build for Beastmaster in patch 1.0, but Druid offers a metric ton of Damage Reduction (and a distinct playstyle). Is beastmaster better? I'd recommend it. But this druid is definitely not *strictly* worse, and it's either the best or 2nd best Druid Build to be playing in Patch 1.1.

Don't bother with Dungeon Skips in the campaign: you'll need to go back and get skill points and Idol Slots anyway.
Do the campaign until the end of Chapter 7, then do your normal monoliths (right side only). Remember, you never need to kill Lagon in the Campaign... unless you want to.

----------
Yet to be determined how this build feels after the bugfix. I'm also curious to discover whether EHG bugfixes this AND puts a cap on the MoreDmg per Ailment, or instead only applies the bugfix.
Lots of small tweaks could be made to the gear, here and there. Until the bugfix, I'm not going to worry about the fine details. Defensively, Vessel + Wall of Nothing seems like the way to go. Getting +4 to Serpent Strike on a Vessel does seem awesome, too.

Rive doesn't get the Void Tag, but this build still gets about 200 flat Void Damage to attacks (and still about 100 flat Physical, unfortunately). The build is good, but the discussion about Melee Sentinel Builds is essential.
This video discusses a few important points: - Flamedrinker's (physical penetration per ignite consumed) - Lack of a Void Tag - Effective HP - Loss of Anvil Stance in 1.1 - Sentinel Defenses

I LOVE the story of this game. It's been so much fun to go in blind and experience all of it live on stream.
Regarding the betrayer, it sounds like there is a fan theory that Haru (Azar's implied girlfriend in the real world) may have been against the Ark Project from the very beginning. Maybe she's the Betrayer? Maybe she kinda looks like the Pharos Leader in the Twisted Land? Hmm.

1. It has anime artwork. 2. Everything is explained in-game. The game isn't afraid to kill you because you didn't read a debuff. 3. Storyline is compelling. MUCH better than I expect from a deckbuilder. 4. You've played MTG? You've played Dominion? You like Ponder and Preordain, casting cantrips and cycling through your deck? You'll love this as much as I do.
If you check out this game, let me know your thoughts. I wish I could add some visual clarity and better UI to the game, but those are small complaints relative to the game as a whole.

I can't WAIT until we have an equivalent of POE Ninja for Last Epoch. For now, this review of the Solo Arena will have to suffice.
I have omitted Arena Waves, Character Names, and Account Names. There is no real "balance" in Last Epoch right now, so (in my opinion) it's not worth comparing the meta Falconer Arena Builds to the meta Forge Guard Arena Builds.
Note that this is a review of the top builds I discovered in the Arena Ladder. Success in the Arena does not necessarily translate into being a fast build, being a good boss killer, etc etc.
There's a small handful of builds I've skipped over, like Manifest Armor Forge Guard, for lack of a sample size -- even though it does perform well in Arena. I reviewed a TON of builds to make this video, but I may have missed a spicy one somewhere. Let me know in the comments if you see a notable omission.
