blocking

[quick birch]

why does it cost a lv reward pls just due a backlist that u can do prematch

[lofty sphinx]

yeah blocking should be done before the match and not cost a level up

[stoic plinth]

Or at the very least, allow you to block it and choose one of the remaining options.

Agree with OP but prefer this option. 👍

It's a standard for almost all bullet heavens that the skip/block action costs a lvup

[old sapphire]

I'd also say that part of the idea is that blocking is much more than just not leveling up, it's freeing up a slot in all future level ups from something useless

While it is annoying, I definitely undersatnd why it is the way it is. It just feels badddd. Blocks are like this whole hand is bad and I want nothing to do with it

[quick birch]

wroung VS has a black list

wait was that sealing

but black list would feel better

also i present the if everyone jump from a bridge ud do it too just cause everyone else does it doesnt mean this game has too in fack isnt that a reason to make it different

Blocking is a pretty powerful mechanic in a game like Swarm where the tech and gear pool is relatively small for each character. If Oree had 20+ weapons and a ton of gears a blacklist would make more sense.

Also, blocking can be used on evolutions to get synergies without evolving, which is something you couldn't do with a blacklist.

In Vampire Survivors, for example, where there are 50+ weapons and a ton of passives, blacklisting makes sense because it would be unwieldy otherwise.

yes but u can swap out stuff in temtem swarm in VS for example skip/block is really good cause picking up wroung thing can ruin a whole run the swaping out mechanic fundimentaly changes everything with loot pools instead of blocking i could of taken something for short term and swaped it later

which makes skiping a worse concept because i would of had a power increase if i didnt block for slightly better rolls in future

pls stop ignoring the swap mechanic in fact i encourge u to work it into ur stratagys

[rough marlin]

No but there must be a reason why everyone is jumping from the bridge

Or we're still in the idea that everyone else is dumb and I'm the only smart person around

[quick birch]

yeah but the question isnt why are they jumping but why would you jump? what is ur reason not someone elses

[near dust]

Wait so if the tems evolution is there you can't get synergies? Sounds like an oversight more than a mechanic

[stuck parrot]

Evolution and Synergies take the same left most slot when leveling up. Evolution has priority over synergies, so it makes sense that it blocks out taking a synergy if ignored.

I feel like this just insentavises blocking late game and now using it early when it gets its most value. the reroll is when the hand is bad. I feel like their goal wasn't to make a reskinned reroll but rather an actual block feature then you can use to block things. Thats why I feel like they should allow this option otherwise if I am being honest I just don't block early because I just fall behind the curve I would be at

[stoic plinth]

My thinking is that it wouldn't "reroll", it would just go from like bad_technique, good_technique, gear to good_technique, gear and allow you to choose one of these.
