Not a surprising win :p. Trancor is kinda good
Did we ever figure out whether Blessing of the White Rose was harmful?
Apparently it is not

Fun deck, was basically infinite draws really early. Had a cursed puzzlebox so most of it was free. 1 basic attack made 2-4 draws usually. Added the duel mastery at the very end to speed up the battles a bit
I have had this typo in the bonus objectives for months! and nobody told me ๐
Less is more! ๐
We read what it is supposed to say, not what it actually says.
Man, if you can make your Tower Shields free with Weapon Virtuoso, Cursed Puzzlebox, or similar, Duel Mastery puts in work.
There we go, did all six. May try to do original rogue version for kicks, see how bad it really was.
Although I suspect it would just be:
- Have tough Canto 1
- Transmute or Transpose Shard of Divinity into something else (maybe Divine Bulwark!)
- Run now proceeds like the โfixedโ rogue start
Yeah I killed myself real fast when I tried to make use of the Shard of Divinity
it was crazy how often Regen was the blessing you got. haha
Well I forgot all about Timewarp and took my Impossible seeker run to Isle of Talos. It was a mistake ๐ญ

It had so much potential ๐ญ
Oooof! Yeah Talos is an absolute No with Rotting lol. Timewarp and those dudes that Heal you
I've run Talos like maybe 3 times. I should've trusted my instincts to go with the familiar mines. I was just looking to avoid unwanted npcs and blessings of the white rose
Talos did deliver one thing I was hoping for: Two Bolgars lol
Too bad I didn't have double nock yet
talos hurts the soul
Funny thing, Blessing of the a white Rose doesnโt reduce max HP with Rotten. Not really sure if thatโs intentional or not.
Also, any class other than Warrior can get out of the mines without Blessing of the White Rose, if they want to.
Same with Trovanโs Blessing
But you have to recruit one of the NPCs to do so
GG @sonic nimbus, you just advanced to level 10!
Ah, true,
I just assumed that was a death sentence with rotten
I mean, we all initially assumed the same of Headhunter, and we were wrong there, too (although the logic of why we were wrong with Headhunter is now understood, and recognized as intentional, which is less clear with Blessing of the White Rose).
Whats the logic about headhunter?
I'm happy it heals, because I used it everytime I could lol
It sets your health to full i believe, rather than healing a certain amount and adding to your health like traditional healing
Took the opportunity to get in an impossible run with over 100% Malignancy, which isnโt something Iโve ever done before (and probably isnโt something Iโll do again any time soon, outside of opportunities for ridiculousness such as this one).

Gotta love ending a Rotten run with 591 max HP ๐
In re: :wha:, Devour Vitality (also I kinda wish you could reply to reactions)
Sometimes it feels good to just blast through the game like that
In re: ๐, :wha:?
Perception was actually the MVP talent that run, the extra energy is huge in the early cantos and being able to disregard First Strike as a source of risk was likewise a big benefit.
I barely needed Headhunter until act 8 where the Healthy, Monstrous Blackroot Giant didnโt quite die in one round and used that one attack whose damage is based on itโs max HP to take me back down to normal-run HP levels (like, 100-ish) in a single hit. After which I still might have made it to the end without Headhunter, except if I hadnโt had Headhunter then when I got to the giant my HP would have been like 100/230 rather than 230/230, or whatever it was.
(Well, the extra energy is huge when your basic attack is Trancor, anyway; one extra energy approximately multiplies your total damage output byโฆ like 5?)
(Since assuming +1 Trancor and just playing 2 vs 3 Trancors, first Trancor, first hit is 4 damage, gets you to 1 chain, second hit is 5 damage, gets you to 7 chain, second Trancor first hit is 11 damage, gets you to 19 chain, second hit is 23 damage, gets you to 43 chain, so after 2 Trancors your damage was 4+5+11+23=43; a third Trancor, first hit is 47 damage, gets you to 91 chain, second hit is 95 damage, gets you to 187 chain, so total damage is 4+5+11+23+47+95=185 damage; so, no, not quintuple damage, quadruple damage)
Top 100 scores are almost all Impossible Hunters lol with only 3 Hard in the mix
Trancor makes the challenge way too easy
But getting that rank is harder than ever lol
I'm still cooking a deck here, let's go! โก lol
I mean, โofficialโ winners are top score within each difficulty, not just top score overall. Which, yes, this time will presumably all be Trancor runs. But, Iโll also be announcing the top scores for each class at each difficulty.
If nothing in Challenging difficulty changes, I'm going be rank 1 in 5 of the 6 classes lol Only Rogue I couldnt finish before I decided to join the Impossible runs. Now I need to get to 42k+ points for that
And I think Iโm currently rank 1 for Challenging Rogue.
Not a lot of people play on Challenging in the weeklies
My failed attempt at Knight is top 1 among Knights
and that was before the patch
now it's even harder
Funny you got a higher score than I did even though you didnโt finish the run (Iโm assuming thatโs what โfailedโ means?)
I love challenging, it's not too difficult and not too easy
Oh, you probably had a bunch of extra malignancies
I died to the boss before Dante
I decided to venture myself in the new DLC area
The boss there has a mechanic that lowers you HP to 10% and gives you Lifedrain on all damage done
for a non-rotten it's a pretty nice mechanic, but it totally wrecked my run lol
Sure, but, I was more expressing surprise that you scored higher than I did when you didnโt kill Dante and/or Rathiel, whoโre worth 2000*multiplier extra points
140%
Not โhow could you possibly lose the run lolโ
And then I realized that even if your base score would be lower, you probably had a huge multiplier compared to me, and, apparently I guessed correctly
Can't fathom that some people managed to finish runs with all classes. I gave up on the Knight after a couple of runs, and the Seeker and Warrior are so slooooooww...
There are players that have beaten every class on every difficulty.... Insane.
Nevermind the ones that get top scores with the weekly challenge on impossible difficulty...
Knight was good with the healing from the Hexes before the patch, now it's a slow way to die
Screw me, I guess
I even have Perception except this is the one guy that doesn't help with. I was hoping to dodge both of them
Yeah, I just decided to stop going Ramparts. Even when you can kill them with no risk of actually ending the run then and there, the cost is too high for too little benefit, when youโre not allowed to heal afterwards
I'm hoping I can survive one, get the general and headhunter will kick in
But it's not going well at the moment
Yep another failed attempt at impossible seeker
I just want it after such a good hard run early in the challenge
Swamps seems pretty warm and cozy now, huh? 
I did Ramparts only once during this challenge, these guys are terrible
Anyone fight the new troll yet?
Is the troll's name Seiko and it demands a toll of cat-girls?
So, obviously the challenge isnโt quite over yet, but itโs funny; this challenge has had approximately the same number of runs submitted as recent past challenges, but has generated 2-4 times as much discussion on Discord (judging by number of messages posted to the thread)
Any tips for the rogue challenge? Impossible difficulty
I say look for Battle Rhythm and a Perform card. Or if you find the Balor event, take the Blessing. Once youโve got that Anger, spam Asteran to get the stacks up
Thought about that, but zeal keeps killing me before I can find Balor
Saw someone with coins on impossible, but they didn't killed spine (I'm actually using this challenge to "cheat" the banners of all classes)
I did Zeal and coins with Rogue in this one. But it was on Hard, and I used the old Divine Lashings that didnโt dmg yourself
Btw if you just want the Banner, you can end your run after Dante/Rathael. That counts as a Victory and you get the banner
And that's the "normal" cheat. I want my banner covered in spine's blood
Fair enough!
Tried to transmute Divine Bulwark, never saw a duplicate in a delve situation
@kind moth I think you really outdid yourself with this weeks challenge
Must fun in Dawncaster Challenge I've had in a long time
You donโt actually have โaccessโ to Holy cards, so the algorithm is unable to find any matches for the baseline criteria (same color, 1 higher rarity, you have access to it, not a duplicate, not a unique card you already have). Once it fails (for any of those reasons), it tries again with a much more relaxed set of criteria (just, 1 higher rarity, you have access to it). Notably, โnot a duplicateโ is not on the fallback criteria list (and I donโt think โnot a unique card you already haveโ is either, but I canโt remember for sure).
Even so, with all card sets enabled seeing a duplicate would be reasonably rare. Though, the legendary pool isnโt that big.
I did it by getting a performance engine through Grand Entrance and Cascade, ALWAYS went for the card draws. The goal was to get ridiculous defense on the first round which wasn't a problem once I imbued elegance (several impervious will tend to keep you safe against most enemies.) Then it was full burst round two with anger and zeal climbing to stupid levels because of Asteran.
Couldn't take down the Spine but everything else was problem free from canto 5 onward. And it was the most fun run I've had in this weekly.
Monstrous, Ethereal and Poison Strikes as extra malignancies.
Hoping we get a weekly challenge like this sometime in the future but instead of transformed weapons, Elite Weapons:
Arcanist - Staff of Thunder
Rogue - Shredder Axes
Knight - Hexblade
Hunter - Scythe
Warrior - Monolith
Seeker - ???
Still need one with Halifax...
What about giving seeker ||Moonclaws and a starting card that allows them to ascend for Celestial Claws||
Is it just possible to start with it?
GG @red musk, you just advanced to level 14!
I think they would transform back, but you probably would have to ask the Devs to confirm.
In theory, the basic itself could probably be the Celestials. But the actual basic cards would likely swap back to Moonclaws after the first play as the card has the swap tooltip
This is giving me ideas
Do we have an Enchantment or weapon power that ascends seekers at the first turn?
Rofl, whoops. Don't give Drakkan to the Collector unless you want a bit more of a challenge ๐
lol you found our excalibur haha
Yeah, the run was somewhat doomed as rotting + lifedrain hex don't really combo that well, but suddenly losing half of my deck was a bit of a nasty surprise ๐
GG @sand dew, you just advanced to level 2!
yup, thats a deathtrap
Thanks! I canโt take much credit though, this one was @pale sundial โs idea
How long before the challenge closes? It's saying 1h there, but it's 1h +50ish minutes right?
Yeah just less than 2 hrs left

@pale sundial Thank you so much for taking the time to put together these leaderboards for all classes, much appreciated!
I don't remember running a rogue deck ๐
(With Knight, the differences between pre-1.12.01 and post-1.12.01 are stark)
I didnt post a rogue deck
I am very disappoint my Armor warrior who didn't get past Garving Graves didn't make it ๐
I tried some runs before the update but failed miserably, after the update I didn't even give it a shot. I'm not THAT machocistic.
(Like, a difference of more than 40% in the top score ignoring difficulty between pre- and post-Hex of Life fix)
Did that run have a score of 8843? There were very few Rogue runs on Hard.
Do you have to be first in any category to get the trophy? Or only the hardest one
Yes lol
This per-class bit is โunofficialโ, the bot gives the trophy to the top scorer in each difficulty, regardless of which starting option you chose.
Ah I see. I shouldnโt have spent so much time trying to do the impossible one LOL
Gotta try harder this week
just red your reports btw - Perception doesn't stop Skewerers first strike because they are immune to Stunned ๐
Got it!
Which is just plain evil. Probably my most hated enemy in the game...
Hmmmmmm do I want to give trophies to all of the individual class winners....
Serena, the Slime and the Mimic have entered the chat.
course not! Going to cost us a fortune
any idea what those trophies cost?
Serena can certainly be annoying, but you can plan for her. The Slime and Mimic have never given me much problems. The Frog though...
Might be the only way I ever get a trophy! ๐คฃ
I kinda want to, because there are some names (like yours) that definitely deserve it ๐
Oh I got top 3 ๐ฎ
Also, big thanks to @kind moth and @fervent ferry for their assistance in getting all this going and smoothing over issues with this rather unusual challenge!
"Easy heals" suddenly became "countdown to death"
Thanks to everyone behind this! This week was so fun that I even visited the spine more than once!
Waited to late to submit ๐ญ
I always just feed my last run that was still being played into the system anyways. Still get those stats to Blightbane.
