[floral gust]

The endurance wins it for me as well

[abstract sierra]

Yeah..

Its a firebolt alternative.. a safer option

But still firebolt wins cause of the speed

Risky thought

[hot trout]

@analog forge so how much we need to spend to get all the furniture?

[analog forge]

Cheapest around 12k

[hot trout]

Damn it

[analog forge]

around 12k - 15k

[hot trout]

[harsh needle]

https://tenor.com/view/ha-not-funny-give-me-a-break-annoyed-annoying-gif-20490738

[harsh needle]

Agreed, worth the 20 loss in speed

[abstract sierra]

Thats a safer play

But the firebolt wins on a skilled player

Ur going faster and tro the whole match you notice the gap

Wins on acceleration by 10 but thats in recovery after getting hit

[harsh needle]

Whats the comparison to the pink mythic

I never actually bothered with that ones stats

[abstract sierra]

Sec

@alpine bear you didnt send the mythic rose stats

[charred garnet]

Is it possible to get roughly 10-12k gems more before mythic gacha comes?

[abstract sierra]

What i know is that pink mythic is weak in general againts firebolt

Thats why didnt get

But cant check stats without having the broom

[harsh needle]

I didn't get it coz its too too girly even for me

[abstract sierra]

But wasn't worth

[alpine bear]

Don’t have it 🤣

[analog forge]

Yes

The mythic gacha will happen in season 18

[charred garnet]

I want to spend gems for the event but I only have 22k so I'm scared

[small prairie]

Together or each one 5880?

[gaunt mesa]

Each one

[tiny grove]

Cape behind is great i find

[tribal shard]

For furniture prices, I found this combination in the Enigma discord, posted by Chester D: #1324696201270005760 message

1 round: free + 5x200 = 1200
2 round: 2x300+360+3x400 = 2160
3 round: 6x600 = 3600
4 round: 720 + 3x800 + 2x1000 = 5120

12080, if you go for cheapest options

[harsh needle]

The cape is really nice

[analog forge]

เหมาสูงสุด 10800 เพชรส้มนะคะ

[abstract sierra]

Being that number i guess is the gatcha broom

[tight bane]

the hell? why so much expensive

i was expecting like 1900 or idk under 5k smth like that

[analog forge]

It should have been 4.6k-4.8k worth since it's one of the four grand prizes. Not the whole wheel.

[abstract sierra]

The total scam they done to us

5k was more than reasonable

But 12k only for furniture nahh

[analog forge]

Easy skip for christmas or mythic gacha

[harsh needle]

so now we have a new fancy nice mythic broom...and the devs decided lets not spawn them in the sky anymore, have them in the common room?

https://tenor.com/view/cummins-gif-12535975135255283466

[abstract sierra]

That mythic broom is cursed

89/90 wtf

I knew it was a trash cleaner🤣 🤣

At least was worth something🔥 !

[wispy robin]

Are all the Malkin's items available when I look today, or is the stock rotating like it normally does?

I have my items selected, so if there won't be anything different offered, I could buy it now.
If there will be different Malkins stuff, I'll keep looking

[harsh needle]

it took your comments personally

it had a vendetta 🤣

[alpine bear]

Damn bro

The broom hates you for a reason

[alpine bear]

I think they should be all available during the event

[abstract sierra]

Funny how the broom requires more than any other to upgrade🤣

Firebolt 1310 points

Mythic 1400

[alpine bear]

Ugh 😭

It has more overall stats

[abstract sierra]

Yet cant beat a free broom

Its stats are just the expensive ones

Like +5 acceleration is 15pts.. you need 30 for those +10 extra

While speed is just 10 for +5

Double the cost for the same +10 stats

And those 2 extra lifes are worthless when you have a trio with Potions (L) taking turns and if they are skilled you wont be even needing

[abstract sierra]

Im rudolf

Thats looks like peeves outfit recolored

Paid counterfeit mythic

[vernal quarry]

The eyes are great though

[analog forge]

That’s it for season 16 news

Season 17 news next week

[pure robin]

This exactly !!!

[abstract sierra]

Funny that doesnt effect me at all.. i still spawn on dorm

[charred sluice]

My character is spawned in common room these days idk why

[abstract sierra]

Probably they rotate spawn randomly from time to time

Mine always spawned at dorm

[charred sluice]

You spawn in dorm cause of those owls

When I have owl in dorm, i always spawn in dorm

[abstract sierra]

Be smart

You gotta control the game not the game control you

[charred sluice]

[harsh needle]

But now...really? With my new shiny broom? Really?

[abstract sierra]

Yeah i know its lots of coincidence

But hey, im just a insider not the decision maker

[charred sluice]

@abstract sierra

When is gub fire outfit coming

The only good thing about this pass is the eyes color

[boreal sorrel]

Why buy a mythic when you can get pretty much the same for 99.8% of the price 🤣🔫

[stone wharf]

honestly looks like wheel tier

maybe better

[abstract sierra]

Its a mythic counterfeit

[boreal sorrel]

I know 😫

[abstract sierra]

I think they wanted to make the fantastic beast Qilin but dunno where they came with the antlers

[boreal sorrel]

An eyebrow for every day of the week

He didn't know

[harsh needle]

https://tenor.com/view/bluey-gasp-shocked-meme-gif-12370451847235869325

I would also like to apologise to this outfit, I was wrong about you

[abstract sierra]

Why would i need to buy them at full price

But hey.. at least it gave me more POWA

[dusky pawn]

Well u didnt even know their existence some months ago

[abstract sierra]

i knew that it rotates every week its contents but didnt want to bother check it if i cud just wait for black friday event when all items are available at once.💡

whats dumb is on the item description doesnt state it gives Space Exp

[harsh needle]

Everything on the makeup table is always there, no rotation

[charred sluice]

I will buy new stuff with tickets later

[tiny grove]

yes i bought the one for boys also yellow very nice

if only i could dye the shirt and keep the rest black

[harsh needle]

I bought it on my alt coz i needed a 700 item to get 700 off😅 my alt doesn't have a lot of variants tonget

[harsh needle]

I actually like the yellow, shocking ly

[charred sluice]

I didn't touch it

Spent 12k in darkness furni💔

[wispy robin]

Season story spoilers ...
I finished it. Really liked it.
DEAR NE SPY
The ||tie-in to next season, so we have more of a continuous story|| was great! Do more of that. I also liked that it was ||not a generic story, but felt very unique to the wizarding world||.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

... also, can you please add something so the black story screens, intro, and season end screens will stay until we click. It's hard for even a native English speaker to finish reading before the screen changes to the next one.

[ocean meteor]

The ones that are long are gone too soon and the ones that only have a sentence or two take forever to disappear

[ocean meteor]

I have a theory that this season was actually ||a lead-in to year five, and the wizards at the end are part of NOTME.||

[late glade]

tbh I liked more the last chapter than the rest of the story

also I'm pretty curious about the "Old friend" they were hinting about

[boreal sorrel]

Does anyone remember the event the game gave people gems back to the people that bought it because it was crazily overpriced?

[analog forge]

Iirc it was postcard event

[boreal sorrel]

Well I hope they do it with this furniture thing because it’s mental the price they are wanting

[analog forge]

I don’t think that will happen

[gloomy sail]

I think they were giving back gems to people who spent jewels on postcard?

Some kind of bundle that was wildly overpriced

[analog forge]

I think it was jewels to buy better packs

[gloomy sail]

Yuh

[analog forge]

Since the better packs were limited for purchase

[gloomy sail]

Oh and it wasnt even favoring the cards you hadn't already received, wasnt it

People were buying and not getting what they needed, even though it cost a lot

[analog forge]

Yeah. And since postcard was part of seasonal events, they had to adjust it.

[gloomy sail]

Yupppp

[analog forge]

Though. I would say the change that because of weibo’s riot.

[gloomy sail]

I think the whales were pissed off

Also factored into that

[analog forge]

This time it’s more likely that they won’t change because:
1.) CN community don’t care about this event since most of them have already owned the furniture sets.
2.) The event was for business purposes, not engagement purposes like postcard.

[late glade]

what event?

[gloomy sail]

Furniture rerun

[gloomy sail]

Just the puzzle event wrapping up and the accompanying seasonal achievement

If you can finish off 70 duels in the next week, that'll be good for the NGP monthly task

Robbing the bank, selling at the plant shop/patisserie

No

They reset monthly

If you dont collect, theyre gone

[boreal sorrel]

I sent a message to them about the price and they said they will forward it to the developers.. basically telling me they don’t give a shit

I always say I’m not going to spend but I always end up spending 😫

[gloomy sail]

Probably not, I don't think it tracks your progress if you havent linked

But if you link now and manage 70 duels in the next 12 ish hours before it resets, it'll give you the 100 gems

They dont have to be ranked duels either

[worldly notch]

There's also the club rewards for the season according to the ranking of your club in the server

[gloomy sail]

That'll be the easiest way

I think event ends before season does?

The club ranking only gives reward at end of season

[worldly notch]

Nope, there's about 14? hours of difference

[charred sluice]

You can do book of no name

[boreal sorrel]

If you haven’t saved.. you’ll have to spend.. the last section costs around 5.5k

[charred sluice]

If you haven't done yet

[gloomy sail]

Ooh youre right

[charred sluice]

5120

[gloomy sail]

Oh all the season end stuff and then new duel season rank rewards

[boreal sorrel]

I got the all the keys

[worldly notch]

Also the two gems levels in the club adventure

[charred sluice]

They are low on gems so better to get stuff that will cost less gems

[boreal sorrel]

720, 3000, 1000, 800

[charred sluice]

Oh yeah 300 something gems there

[charred sluice]

I bought this

[charred sluice]

I was trying to save gems😔

[boreal sorrel]

15 keys and I got a loco.. that I already have maxed 🤣

[charred sluice]

Dude

[boreal sorrel]

It’s getting to the point where I just need better echoes now

[charred sluice]

OMG I got loco too

And it's maxed

[charred sluice]

Us

The furni is so good tho

Unlike nowadays, dev used to put efforts in design and details

[boreal sorrel]

Grindelwald and Voldemort fit and I will stop spending

Just give me those 2 😭

[charred sluice]

I want darkness fit

Boy one is so good

[boreal sorrel]

Yeah, I hope it comes back around

So annoyed they didn’t add it to the curtain call

[charred sluice]

Hopefully

[charred sluice]

Idt wheel outfit can be added to curtain cause wheel outfits originally costed gems unlike shop outfit that cost jewels from the beginning

[wispy robin]

Did you do the newer Book with No Name stories? There were a lot of gems in that

[swift lynx]

likely shouren, they will need to release his card at some point so i think it's him. wish it wil be astrid tho, i prefer female season npcs to return more than the male ones

[scenic arch]

is there another even this season? its almost ended

[charred sluice]

Yeah

Coming soon ig

[gloomy sail]

Is it not the puzzle event? It gets completed tmr?

[charred sluice]

Oh

Is it?

[analog forge]

It’s the puzzle event

[charred sluice]

if i were you, i would stop at 3rd bundle

if you cant buy 6 packs to collect last furni bundle, its not worth buying bundle at all

[analog forge]

• Club Adventures
• if you’re membership of NGP, you’ll receive 100 gems after 70 rounds of duelling.
• Wait for next maintenance. But you have to hurry to clear OTP, get gems from prefect shop, gems from club and clear the legendary box.
• If you haven’t already use your bday bonus, activate it for next season.
• Controversial: In case if you haven’t spend your seasonal-limited keys yet, keep them until next season to convert them to gems. Each keys converted to 10 gems

Though, the furniture bundles event is really expensive, so I’d suggest to just stop.

[charred sluice]

I don't think you can reach 5k by doing all this

[analog forge]

It really depends.

[charred sluice]

Oh I missed birthday clause

But without birthday, is it possible?

[analog forge]

Not sure, but i usually receive around 3k at the start of the season

[charred sluice]

Ca - 300
Ngp - 100
Daily duel - 140 (stacked)
Otp - 300
Gems - 900 (let's cope)
Time limited keys - 20xruby + 8xclock = 280

[charred sluice]

I don't think event stays till house cup, does it?

[analog forge]

Nope

I don’t do house cup right away

[charred sluice]

Best you can reach 2.5k with the stuff mentioned above if you remove birthday buff

5k is still not anywhere near

So it's better to stop at bundle three

[analog forge]

Club: 200 gems if your club is top 100
Duel reset gems reward: 100+
Nested treasure
Activity chest: 240 gems or more

So around 3k right at the first day. However, it’s still quite risky imo.

[charred sluice]

Doing 70 duels in a day and reach gm 7.7k for all gems

It's not possible unless you whale on first day of new season

[worldly notch]

I just remembered it - Gringotts! Most of us have unused tickets for a run

[boreal sorrel]

Kaleoz does jewels for a lot less cost

I would never pay the price Netease wants.. same on WB, I used VPN. Games like this want all your money so I find the cheapest way to give it them 🤣

[charred sluice]

700 gems per ticket

You can make it if you 3 have tickets ig

[charred sluice]

They don't give first purchase bonus iirc

[boreal sorrel]

They do

[charred sluice]

Really??

There was some issue regarding this. They claimed they give first time bonus but didn't deliver

[boreal sorrel]

I used it and got it all

That’s only if you haven’t bought in game

If you have, you’ll not get it

[charred sluice]

Sweet

Glad they fixed it

[boreal sorrel]

I used it all when they refreshed the first time purchase

Bought all the bundles on Kaleoz 🤣

[charred sluice]

🐳

[boreal sorrel]

For a fraction of the price

[charred sluice]

Still buying at once

🐳 thing

Seeing how game is going downhill, i don't know invest in it for now

[pure robin]

Really curious, how do we know that the game is going downhill? Is this on basis of new players or quality or financially?

[wintry pagoda]

Probably a mix of the quality they create for new seasons, the lack of players and long ques for custom events, like Hide and Seek

[charred sluice]

Devs not putting enough efforts. Many players are leaving cause of recent nerf. This whole season was dry af. They focus more on recycling stuff than creating new design. Devs are getting more greedy day by day but not giving quality content for ppl to invest in

There's been a pattern in duelling nerf. The moment any card is popular and turned into meta, they nerf it. So all the savings spent on the card are futile. Forcing you to invest into broken card, then nerfing it

No pets, no desert, no closet. Players been asking for them since so long but no hope. They hinted at tailor career last year but no where in sight

[gaunt summit]

They use ai in replacement for va’s for the past seasons already.. and the quality of the voices are really bad you could tell that they really don’t care about making good stories anymore it’s so sad :(

[keen flame]

Anyone liked the mp outfit

[harsh needle]

https://tenor.com/view/palla-deserto-desert-hot-gif-6014273

Its a disaster of an outfit

[keen flame]

Reindeer cosplay outfit

[pure robin]

I see ur point, even so the delay didnt happen at the start right? Atleast in ashwinder, after most ppl got all the rewards

[pure robin]

Ohh i have never spent much on upgrading cards( mostly outfits), i see the point tho,
The nerf was too much this time with sbs def 2 to 5 mp 💆‍♂️

[green glacier]

I won't say that the game is going downhill, I'd rather say it stagnates after studio reform. Plus you can't always raise the bar. We had dry sesons before and got good after

[pure robin]

Ahh yes, also some words didnt match match audio and the written ones, tho i found myself actually curious about this season's storyline

I like the broom and the current wheel and the 90 wheel before that ( that hair is one of my fav)

[green glacier]

I never heard AI tbf, just some cheap VO. If they used ai, they could've used it in recent seasons insted of using placeholder phrases and sounds. And text and voice mismatch is prime NetEase moment xD

There's always a ton of problems with CN to EN translations

[analog forge]

We can clearly hear AI from some of Abigail’s voice lines

[pure robin]

Yeah I dont enjoy those phrases and sounds 😂

[green glacier]

Where?

[analog forge]

This season’s story

[green glacier]

Huh. Any particular moment? I don't remeber hearing anything like that

[analog forge]

Compare to her voice line from previous seasons and you’ll understand the difference

It sounds robotic compared to when there’s actual VA voicing her

[green glacier]

I wouldn't say it sounds robotic, but wth is she say'n at the beginning xd

[analog forge]

Compare to her real voice lines, and you'll notice her actual tones in there. Some of her current voice lines are recorded by her real vas now though. But the fact that they use AI in voiceover is really concerning.

[green glacier]

Well, that's more like a shitty reality that we have to live in.
AFAIK new and popular ARC Riders has AI VO too and some other new big games too so..

[high hinge]

The nerfs this season ruined all of my decks It's the first time since the very first season that I haven't gotten to MA yet. I don't even know which decks to choose for my three. I hate that they always nerf a card as soon as I've maxed it out. Also, matchmaking is broken and completely skews in favor of people who already have reached MA. I almost always get paired against people who already reached MA, and my partner often ends up being someone with low leveled cards. When I reached MA last season, it was like an automatic switch. Every duel I got was easy, because my opponents were all in the 8100-8500 range with lower card levels. It's completely unfair. That paired with the fact that you lose as many points for a loss as you gain for a win now... It's just not fun when the odds are never in your favor

[harsh needle]

Agreed, it did the same with my decks, everytime I duelled I questioned if id even make it, and I wouldn't have if it wasn't for my friends help, because the randoms you match up with are struggling just as much...I hate this season

Also it was drier than the desert they refuse to give us

[high hinge]

I'm just scared to drag my friends down with me if I lose, I always get nervous dueling with friends for that reason lol

[harsh needle]

Oh they were faaaar ahead of me, I just had to deal with duelling against monsters, but id rather that than duelling with randoms😭

[high hinge]

Yeah, that's true 🥲

[green glacier]

Still by far better with random Joes tbh. At least you can get some lulz even if you loose

[high hinge]

I just need to find a dueling buddy who doesn't care if we lose

[harsh needle]

Thats really nice to have, in it for the yolo😅

[harsh needle]

I've hardly experiences any joy playing with randoms this season unless I get paired with a player i know🤣 it usually ends with a lot of Curses and ragequitting

[tribal shard]

OK now i know what to do XD i hate spawning in the sky!! thanks dappy and ghost for the tip

[charred sluice]

You guys spawning in sky?

Ever since last maintenance, I am spawning in common room

[high hinge]

I keep spawning in the common room

[charred sluice]

Samee

[high hinge]

I wanted more excuses to use my new broom xD

[tribal shard]

i used to, and i always hated it. i am happy i am now spawning in common room but if it changes to sky again, i'll have my alts gift me something that i never open :3

[tribal shard]

[tribal shard]

summary of what everyone's shared + some additions of my own:

1. do set up NGP rewards for december: 70 duels in 10 days for 100 gems is very manageable
2. 200 gems from season club rank
3. 50 gems/week from squad + another 50 next week
4. 100-120 gems from puzzle event (i don't remember exactly,)
5. CA (180 gems)
6. average 560 gems from season shop (calculated based on the percentage values they shared in-game)
7. 360 gems from OTP
8. daily duels: 20 gems/day --> 200 gems in 10 days (counted from dec 1 included until dec 10 included)
9. 20 gems from nested treasure (scraps but still…)
10. ~450 gems from chests (including 9*6 regular chests and 9 legendary chests opened between start of S17 and end of furniture event)
11. 60 gems from charms trial
12. 142+142 gems (gabbey this week + next week)
13. 60 gems from update pre-download
14. 20 + 10 gems from chapter 1 of next season's story
15. some gems from duelling club reset (too lazy to do more math, let's assume it's the 100 noel villin said)
16. 140 magic pass gems (assuming you can reach lv ~50 in 2 weeks by completing 2 rounds of weekly missions + all the dailies)
17. 440 gems from hide n seek as you said

---

all this is 3384-3404 gems. you can add a few other things:

1. perhaps an extra 30 gems from daily login?
2. any unused gringotts tickets? 700 gems each
3. are gabbey and andre fully maxed? upgrading them grants gems
4. did you clear the underpass and the hall of prophecy explorations? did you defeat the giant squid in the bottom of the black lake?
5. any leftover season stories from past seasons to clear?
6. as many achievements from next season as you can clear in 1 day
7. bday bonus(888+chests)

---

HOWEVER: the cheapest way to buy furniture that i'm aware of is the following:
1 round: free + 5x200 = 1000
2 round: 2x300+360+3x400 = 2160
3 round: 6x600 = 3600
4 round: 720 + 3x800 + 2x1000 = 5120
11880, if you go for cheapest options
STILL 1750 SHORT IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO ADD FROM LIST 2

(based on the amounts of chest refreshes you have, i can help you figure out if birthday buff could do the trick)

[tribal shard]

oh, and dec 6 should be hagrid's birthday. that's another 100 gems for sure

[wispy robin]

I liked this season's story, especially once I did the last chapter.

[ocean meteor]

I think it's the best story we've had in a long time! Though I preferred the side story with Lottie to the main story

[abstract sierra]

Just think they are getting worse ea time.. its been over a year with all this generic stuff like theres 0 interaction.. no challenges, no final boss fight...

If at least there was decent VA but not even that.. ea time is getting less and less VA and more Written text for that im better reading a book

[ocean meteor]

I think the last duel we had in a season story was back in season 11?

[abstract sierra]

Black Lake i belive?

[ocean meteor]

No, we've had duels since then. Midas in S9, Death in S10, and Ewan in S11

And then nothing since then other than the boss events

[late glade]

Well it's not a big news that companies are now using AI in their projects, which is sad actually

I'll be more worried if they try to use AI in outfits or official art

[green glacier]

Well, yeah. But all last season stories are tied together - dark mages n stuff. If they will envelop this to something good - I don't mind

And as an avid Pat of Exile and Destiny player, I'm okay with dry seasons from time to time if they put this time to smth good.

Also, had a thought about AI voice and I'm interested to see how's it in CN/TW version. Since, well, EU market was never NE top priority and I wouldn't be surprised that they used it in a very last moment just for global EN VO just to cut some corners/losses

[ocean meteor]

CN/TW has the same voices as global

[pure robin]

One more i remembered, herbology side story, its called Astrid's Lessons (i think?)

Gives around 420 gems ( if you havent done it yet)

[vernal quarry]

Hard times for hogwarts considering the last 3 at least seasons are loomy and dark

[harsh needle]

Let's delulu our way into stealing a poached animal as a pet

Pet pet pet

[abstract sierra]

They alreasy did it with the dragons eggs and we took care.

[harsh needle]

Yes but let's delulu that this time they'll actually let us keep it

How did you get pets on cn, magic pass? Wheel? Shop?

[abstract sierra]

Mpass

Basic one was enough. No need to get premium

[harsh needle]

Manifesting January kindness

I'm so tired, I want them

[abstract sierra]

What you gona do after we get them?

[harsh needle]

Enjoy them duhh

Also it like a lil step closer to the damn desert😅

[abstract sierra]

Lets see if it will ever come

I just ignore it completely

It will come the less the expected

[charred sluice]

Furni looks good

[lament grail]

I thought it was furniture

[pure robin]

Borgin and Burkes'?

[abstract sierra]

Action house

[dusky pawn]

Guys, remind me pls, i can send up to 5 presents per week or receive up to 5?

[tribal shard]

Both

[tribal shard]

Borgin and burkes is supposed to have two iconic items (vanishing cabinet, hand of glory) and i DONT see them 🙄

[dusky pawn]

Grrrrrrr, i need to send a lot т.т

https://tenor.com/view/cry-crying-cat-crying-cat-cry-why-gif-27571714

[charred sluice]

[lament grail]

I’m saving keys for next season but I don’t want a dark outfit again

[charred sluice]

I am saving keys but idk for what

[abstract sierra]

But you can send unlimited Nifflers, ill acept 1

[dusky pawn]

-_ - am i rich?

[abstract sierra]

By that statement it seems

"Send alot.... "

[dusky pawn]

There r 20+ people in this list rn

[abstract sierra]

I expecte to be on 1 of 5 batch

20+ thats over 4weeks

[dusky pawn]

Ik, so i need to be creative how i can do that...

[green glacier]

Well, the Hand was bought by Draco IIRC and well, I suppose the Vanishing Cabinet would be removed from here

[abstract sierra]

Easy.. send with the alt account and sign as your main

So thats 10 per week

Guess we going black market shops

[forest oriole]

There are a lot of masks

I want a mask

I want to design a mask

[green glacier]

Imagine having an ability to trade dark cards with other players here for some galleons

( Never gonna happen )

[dusky pawn]

Yeah, but i still want to find more ways

[abstract sierra]

Make more alts

[abstract sierra]

Get some cards by doing hard PvE challenges

Maybe update to hourglass shop

[green glacier]

Or that. I really want some iterating/replayable endgame PvE content

[green glacier]

never

[abstract sierra]

That would be desert exploration

Those 100 levels

[green glacier]

Not enough

[abstract sierra]

Besides forbidden forest what would be another good PvE?

Create bigger free roam areas like legacy

We have so little free roam area that we cant even show our fancy brooms and Twigs

[dusky pawn]

No...

[green glacier]

I would say some roguelite game mode, something like the one with professors but with more buff variability ( Maybe even make it a warboard based lol, why not ). Slap the way to increase difficulty to get more points in the end and slap giant built in reward pass that fills based on final points thus making players willing to play higher diff. Optionally slap some story on it.

[dusky pawn]

Just back to isaac

[green glacier]

Isaac?

[dusky pawn]

-_ - yeah, u forgot ur alt lost

[abstract sierra]

Binding of issac

[green glacier]

What, I'm lost

[dusky pawn]

@abstract sierra even for u im wanna try to do smth special. Idk what but ill try

[green glacier]

I know, I just didn't got why was that said xd

[abstract sierra]

I just happy receiving something

The message its the gift itself

The plate creation its fine🥹

[harsh needle]

Problem is they keep teasing us so much

Its like poking a hornets nest

[wispy robin]

It looks like there's an angry guinea pig inside the Borgin and Burke's fireplace.

[late glade]

Soooo we'll have halloween for Christmas?

https://tenor.com/view/amirite-hadesdisney-hades-gif-5584633

[abstract sierra]

[charred sluice]

Gub fire outfit making its way to Christmas

[abstract sierra]

you mean this

If it comes then its gona be a 5 pack purchase

[high hinge]

As long as it's not the next mythic xD I am really hoping I like the February mythic 🥲 I saved up for the last one and it wasn't my cup of tea

[charred sluice]

Why??

Most 5 pack purchase are design winner

I don't think it was fanmade

[abstract sierra]

Normaly good outfits like this are made by fan.. NE long time havent done anything good

[charred sluice]

Yeah

But it's not done by fan

It's og outfit by NE

Right? @analog forge

[gloomy sail]

It's an 'og' outfit (it's darkness crumbs)

[green glacier]

Did we got all fan outfits or not tho?

[gloomy sail]

Nope

Slow trickle

[analog forge]

Yeah

Original by official HPMA artist team

[charred sluice]

Coping

[gloomy sail]

Their loss because im not getting darkness knockoff, even if it's 'worth' more

[charred sluice]

[dusky pawn]

GUUUUUYS

Finally smth good

[abstract sierra]

My work is done

My incantation worked @dusky pawn

[wispy robin]

Do you mind casting some voodoo spell so I can get the ugly Sproutfit please?

[harsh needle]

Aaayyy congratsss

[wispy robin]

The new season trailer looks awesome, as usual

[dusky pawn]

Ty c:

[tribal shard]

Its awesome isn’t it? Finally someone else who appreciates it!

[tiny grove]

again the pain 🤣 those duo shtcase mama mia

[swift lynx]

so this season they put willa in the preview but she didnt show up at all 😂

season trailers always look so cool but the story in game is not even 1/10 of the trailer

[vernal quarry]

Getting nightmare before Christmas vibes and I'm like where's the light and festivities

[harsh needle]

This trailer promises so much i fear my disappointment

Give me truuueee darkness

Nightmare throughout christmas

[ocean meteor]

The trailer is the most cinematic thing that is vaguely connected to the story

[analog forge]

No

Right at same time

But if you mean the pack event, you can do otp before the event ends

Not really recommended to spend

[gloomy sail]

Otp and season reset before the black Friday events end

If you still need to spend gems for spending event, the new card banner should be out then too

[harsh needle]

The student getting attacked was not on my bingo card

[small prairie]

Why?

When are we NOT getting attacked?

[harsh needle]

Fair🤣 but they animated it so darkly I was like damn😂

[small prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-gif-26754949

Here agree

[green glacier]

I wold say that the story itself as a text might be good and on par. I like the story they pulled out in gobstones season + radio notes. It's just the shortness of it and quality of in game animations

[harsh needle]

Like this....was intense

By hpma standards

[lament grail]

yeah Gobstones season had a very tragic story 😿 I also enjoyed Marlowe season from last year

best season picture imo

[green glacier]

I wish they used animations like this in game story, like in IDV. The way how coders rig them in game is meh xd

[harsh needle]

The last time I remember any cool cutscenes was deatheater/patronus season

That season story has some reaallyyy nice visuals

[swift lynx]

this shot is amazing. trailers always look awesome

[weak bloom]

hopefully autochess will be back next season

just like what they did in the past, bringing it back every two season with new stuff

[ocean meteor]

I just wish figuring out what happened in the previous tournament had been a bigger part of the actual story chapters. I don't care that Dromgoole has no self confidence and needs us to be her motivational speaker.

[charred sluice]

180

[gloomy sail]

Utc + 7 is a time zone, specifically the one thats 1 hr behind ashwinder (which is on Singapore time, utc+8)

You should still be able to get OTP gems before furni event ends

This is the time the furniture event will end, in your local time: <t:1765382400:F>

[charred sluice]

check how much time left for spending event

thats the same time left for furni

[wispy robin]

@rare hemlock
Did you do the pre-download? There's gems in that.

...
And, found this on reddit

[abstract sierra]

Most previews normally are misleading they show us something that near 80% never happens

[pure robin]

When will the next top up event be?

[analog forge]

Around Christmas

Information will likely be arriving on Monday

[pure robin]

Oh, thanks!

[analog forge]

Time for new thread ig

[charred garnet]

Is that Hermione for new card? Or skin

[analog forge]

Rate up card

[high hinge]

I hope the owl hat isn't glued to the hair... It's really cute, but I wouldn't wear the short hair 🥲

[charred garnet]

Oh then what's the banner?

Hermione and de?

[analog forge]

Yeah

Card’s skin is new

So not hermione skin for sure

I wonder if the new partner is Estella

Or is it just profile

Hmm

[wraith ocean]

what is the hint for outfit, 3w or wheel 60?

the snow owl is 5 pack for sure

[lament grail]

whoa is that Christmas gacha? I see a beautiful white and silver dress

[analog forge]

No. It’s label for Christmas event so I don’t think it’s wheel

[lament grail]

can’t be mythic, it’s too early for that

[analog forge]

Very likely

[lament grail]

snowy owl fit is cuuuuute

[dusky pawn]

SCARF EMOTE

https://tenor.com/view/kitty-cat-love-heart-eyes-gif-26356667

[analog forge]

300 jewels ready for the emote

Looks promising

[harsh needle]

I'm gonna die...I can't go for it
Its Feb savings
I'm going to dieee

[lament grail]

as for card clues, we have baby herm rate up + deatheater skin (?) or an escape card like portus / sidealong

[lament grail]

same girl

I regret pulling pajama

Christmas gacha is expensive af

[harsh needle]

It took 24k from me last year...I could've afforded the phoenix if I didnt pull it

[lament grail]

also those details remind me so much of phoenix dress, the feather is the same but white

[harsh needle]

The glove on the glowing branch aaaah😭

[lament grail]

yeah they’re evil

[harsh needle]

I'm sorry is that a cookie event

Last slide?

[analog forge]

It’s likely grownup legendary Hermione + death eater as rate up cards, while an escape card is having a skin

[lament grail]

I like the christmas stocking gift 💓

[analog forge]

So…it looks like they’re making new skins in every card banners. While old ones will return in card’s skin gachas

From what I’ve noticed lately

[lament grail]

you’re not wrong.. it’s really sad 😿 unless they release just 1 old skin per year

I don’t remember which one was the last

[harsh needle]

Thats so depressing, losing thunderstorm and expelliarmus still hurts me

[harsh needle]

Chinese dragon

?

[lament grail]

I have protego totalum but I wish we could have hermi in that red dress

[vernal quarry]

You guessed

[analog forge]

[lament grail]

#1388259374715371661 message

we’re still missing oppugno, locomotor, the freys, stupefy… there are many

[vernal quarry]

Should I be making the new thread today or

[analog forge]

Yes

[charred sluice]

is this gatcha?

[analog forge]

Yeah

[charred sluice]

OMGGG

looks promising

i hope its 30k max pity event

[tribal shard]

Yeah the video was so cool!!And now I love the new season cues as well, Cant wait for the outfit cue to be expanded upon, im already in love with that too

[charred sluice]

i should have waited before spinning wheel

i could have crossed 30k gems and rest assured of pity

[tribal shard]

Love this, I’m going to share it left and right

[alpine bear]

We can’t have big Hermione as npc dancer

[charred sluice]

feels like estella

season shop when

[alpine bear]

We can’t have a death eater as npc dancer either

[analog forge]

It’s either Estella as dance partner or profile of a character you can buy from value pack

[harsh needle]

Ooh and I forgot Crucio

[charred sluice]

chance of new character?

[analog forge]

50/50

[harsh needle]

Maybe robyn finally feels like dancing🤣

[alpine bear]

I think so “the witch awaits her dance partner”

[alpine bear]

Ugh what an awful Christmas

[harsh needle]

Oooh yes im seeing the profile pic

Maybe hermione pfp coz that shape really looks like red dress her

[alpine bear]

I will lower my expectations and think it’s side along skin ☺️

[abstract sierra]

Its better

Never get high hopes on stuff knowing its NE taking care

[keen flame]

5 pack fit?

[dusky pawn]

I just want only emote
Saving for mythic
-# pls outfit be not on my style

[keen flame]

if its 5 pack fit we already had owl theme

https://tenor.com/view/mario-depressed-walk-rain-cloudy-gif-13721018252358245439

U killed me rn xD

[abstract sierra]

[dusky pawn]

Actually im slooooooooooooooowly preparing want i want

[abstract sierra]

Sending furniture is good

[dusky pawn]

Wanna this?)

[abstract sierra]

A gift is a gift

The intention is what counts

[dusky pawn]

Ok, i will put all my soul in it 4 u :3

[abstract sierra]

Part of the solution not the problem

[charred sluice]

i hope christmas gatcha max pity is 30k

[harsh needle]

Its not just any owl...its hedwig

[abstract sierra]

Another owl

[charred sluice]

when can we expect gatcha dress preview?

[analog forge]

Depends on the event date

[charred sluice]

when was it last year?

[harsh needle]

DEC 18 - JAN 1

[abstract sierra]

This is what they cud have done with owls

[charred sluice]

ikrrr

[charred sluice]

oo

next to next week

[harsh needle]

Yeah why dont they accessorise our owls, like cooome on

[alpine bear]

They will add a new category “owl accessory” and sell them 60 jewel per unit, or worse, owl skin 😭

We don’t want chicken accessories we want pets

[abstract sierra]

I see ur a man of culture

[harsh needle]

60 is too generous 😂 they'll charge 180 a pop

[abstract sierra]

Or they will make it part of the wheel

Accessories comes with the owls

[dusky pawn]

Guys, can be that skin card with Sirius? And so we will have a Sirius echo?

[harsh needle]

Or a pull style like the broom🤣

[alpine bear]

120 spins, 5 prizes lol

[harsh needle]

Sirius where?👀

[alpine bear]

I think we getting Sirius with mythic gatcha, next year normally

[abstract sierra]

Nah.. part of the owl GP

[swift lynx]

looks like next season npc will be female

[dusky pawn]

These are just my assumptions based on one phrase, it's sooooo far-fetched that Sirius is there

[harsh needle]

Thats the only thing from CN we dont have in terms of cards and echoes yes?

[abstract sierra]

Keep the 90 but add them as exclusive for wheels so you cant get them no where unless you spin

[dusky pawn]

Yeah

[swift lynx]

hope estella will return

[harsh needle]

Oh the desperate escaaape

My delulu understanding (hope) are desperate escape...from wedding😂 aka hermione red dress

[swift lynx]

is this a little bit hint of the new ball room?

[swift lynx]

i meant the background of the girl

i hope they design a new ball room for next season tho

[abstract sierra]

They will ask gemini 3 to do it

[harsh needle]

They might bring back the first year's Christmas hall

The frozen ice one

I noticed theyre recycling, having brought back the purple astronomy hall and the first Halloween hall, it feels likely

Im just scared about cookies...cookie event, on the last slide🫠

[harsh needle]

Not you sharing a name🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[swift lynx]

they still have 2 winter / christmas ballrooms in twcn that havent out in global yet

[harsh needle]

Oooohhh👀 👀 👀
Potential for my dance pics collection to grow, im intrigued

[swift lynx]

this discord name of mine was named after her because i have a crush on her after watching wicked 😂

[harsh needle]

Fairz, her voice power in defying gravity...Aah

[swift lynx]

thing is those 2 look very simple compare to the ones they released on christmas seasons on global, since they were very old back in 2021. the background in the preview pic above looks like new to me

[harsh needle]

Well so long as its nkt last years hall ill be happy. It was stunning dont get me wrong but I just need an addition to the collection😅

[swift lynx]

yeah. I hope for new one too. The ball room i like the most is the autumn forest

does anyone feels like the hood guy's voice at the end of this season story sounds like shouren?

[harsh needle]

Yess and it hasn't come back yet and I reaaallly want it to

[harsh needle]

I did not pay attention 😂

[analog forge]

I adjust the brightness now

Looks like a profile picture from the upcoming pack

Leta….?

Or Hermione

[harsh needle]

You can just about make out the facial features

The dress almost looks like it has a cape

[swift lynx]

at this point we have to wait until next fall to see if it will come back 😢

[swift lynx]

more like hermy to me

or new character same age with mc and they add her to the ball

[charred sluice]

clapping

yeah its value pack

[analog forge]

I think 1.) Gingerbread as new dessert 2.) Profile value pack 3.) Emote value pack

[harsh needle]

Omg another season dish

No more dishes...more dessert stations!

[abstract sierra]

Or just convert all in to a universal one..we playing a magic game do that sudnt be a issue

[harsh needle]

Doubtful tho since they separated the plants they wanna separate the dishes

[abstract sierra]

Plants are all done on same pots.. what i mean is the same for dishes

3 universal tables to maje all them

Or we end up with 6 tables and only using 3 at same time

At least pots can be all used

Yeah i know there's earth plants and aquatic ones

We sudnt be limited for doing stuff

[dusky pawn]

Ill be ok if they add it not as dessert

If it is a dessert - need more tables

[vernal quarry]

Give me a while and I'll be making the post by the end of the day, apart from the season preview and trailer do we have anything else?

[dusky pawn]

Clues

And thats all as i remember

[charred sluice]

yes. waiting for promising gatcha and getting disappointed later

[abstract sierra]

Always prepare for disappointment so if it doesn't come true then its fine

[charred sluice]

[harsh needle]

Yeah but we had aquatic plants done in tanks...so they've applied the same concept of meals and desserts, 2 different tables like the planters and tanks...to milk more gold out of us

[harsh needle]

But gingerbread really sounds like a dessert😭

But then again...salad does not and...look at it

[abstract sierra]

Salad as dessert

[harsh needle]

And suspected 5 pack outfit

[abstract sierra]

Most likely yeah

[analog forge]

[weak bloom]

no auto chess 😭

[abstract sierra]

We dunno maybe it will come as standard mode

The hints normally is for new or changed stuff..

So its can come as it was last time

[high hinge]

Are we seriously getting another girl dance partner when we still only have one guy? 🥲 lol

[analog forge]

That’s likely a hint for avatar profile rather than a hint for dance partner

[high hinge]

Ah, okay

[vernal quarry]

I need Noel and the rest that posted stuff to forward their messages on the new thread in bits if that's possible

🥹

[analog forge]

I'm here! Feel free to make the thread

[harsh needle]

Not that having another guy npc is any use now given when we invite them, WE lift THEM

I wanna feel dainty and pretty, put the old dance invite system back!

[high hinge]

Yeah, that's silly

[harsh needle]

Like what was really wrong with the old system for real?😂

[analog forge]

I think it would've been nicer for us to choose the position by ourselves

((i dont mind lifting Daniel though XD))

[gloomy sail]

Daniel getting princess treatment

[harsh needle]

Yeahhh why not do that?! im now limited to 6 dance rounds instead of 12 coz my partner doesn't wanna be lifted🤣

[harsh needle]

Bet he feels bonita✨

[late glade]

Yeah, I wanted a new dance partner to be a guy but well here we'll have stella for sure : ")

[swift lynx]

yes, i only dance with female npcs or female mcs so yes for me 😂
But yeah the npc dance partners is very unbalanced, the reason is they dont have enough male characters who are same age with mc so daniel is the only option, i think they can add wenshi

[swift lynx]

i hope its estella too but she is in year 7 so i doubt it, but it would be nice if it's her

[high hinge]

Colby or Wenshi would be good additions, I think! I don't even really dance much, I just feel like it's so unbalanced

[swift lynx]

oh yeah i forgot the frey twins

[vernal quarry]

Ready!! #1446124995104477304

Sorry for making it so quick I'm working at the same time and multitasking is vast

[analog forge]

No worries! Ill paste the rest in that thread. Thank you for the thread

[charred sluice]

imagine getting this as animation

[harsh needle]

Thats just so cute

[charred sluice]

ikrrr

NE spy take notes

[abstract sierra]

Anything else?

[charred sluice]

yes

dont drop a good furni wheel

until feb

[abstract sierra]

Got it.. so be on the mythic bundle

[tribal shard]

Guys what was the second one? The ribbon (the picture if from the second half of this season’s spoilers)

[gaunt mesa]

The current magic pass

[analog forge]

I love how the owl is blushing too XD

[charred sluice]

[analog forge]

Just noticed

So the old friend is Ewan…?

[abstract sierra]

Maybe...

[analog forge]

While the left hand is MC's

[abstract sierra]

we are going tro blackmarket stuff and contraband so makes sense the minitry goes in

[analog forge]

Yeah

In 520 teaser, they said that the ministry will investigate black market occuring in Knockturn Alley.

[abstract sierra]

All sense..

🕵️

[harsh needle]

Could it be that whatshisname gryffindor who's the leader of notme

?

[analog forge]

Elliot Evers?

I dont think MC really consider him as a friend though😂

Also, he's more relevant to the main plot. So I doubt he will appear in subplot as long as the story doesnt relate to the main plot.

[harsh needle]

He's a friend to ol Danny boy😂

Brought his mother out

[abstract sierra]

The NOT ME gang

[tribal shard]

“Whatshisname gryffindor”

[boreal sorrel]

That tattoo’d dude needs to come back

I simped over a pixel 🤣

MIDAS

[abstract sierra]

one of the most stylish avatars

[harsh needle]

I said what I said

[abstract sierra]

sadly that image looks hes a drug addict🤣

[harsh needle]

Not the first or last time we will simp over pixels😂

[boreal sorrel]

Hahahaha I know!

Smoked too much gillyweed

I love it

[abstract sierra]

[boreal sorrel]

I forgot about these

That Azkaban is so cool

[abstract sierra]

looks like joker outfit

[harsh needle]

Get it for the cosplay alone😂

[boreal sorrel]

I never knew this existed

And now I want it to be Halloween again

[abstract sierra]

sirius cosplay

[boreal sorrel]

I DID MY TIME

I DID MY WAITING

12 YEARS OF IT

IN AZKABAN!!

[harsh needle]

Well netease said its Halloween again so you can!

[gaunt summit]

Halloween is only over when ne finishes milking the rest of the whales with 5 more themed mythic outfits//j

[worldly notch]

Hi Shin, I was wondering why do you think that the skin won't be for Hermione? Because, to me, it makes absolutely sense it will be

The hint says something about an escape

And her skin is, afaik, from when they were escaping from Death Eaters in London iirc edit: just double-checked, is from Bill and Fleur's wedding

[analog forge]

Usually, they posted existing card’s skins right away. While hidden hints are for new card’s skin that can be shown yet. Which is why we think it’s a new skin from a card that hasn’t gotten a skin yet

Info will be arriving soon

[worldly notch]

Understood, thanks, and yeah, at this point it's all speculation and we will know for sure(-r?) when they post more info

[lean temple]

Escape makes me think azkaban tbh. Its the only dark card without a skin and death eater is on banner as well. Wouldnt be the first time the skin isnt of the rate-up card

[scenic arch]

Portkey?

[late glade]

One question

What is autochess?

[wispy robin]

Wizard's Warboard

[late glade]

Ah I see

[charred sluice]

Season shop today?

[analog forge]

More likely card banner first

[charred sluice]

What will the shop offer?

[analog forge]

No mention about the shop mode yet

Just description of the shop from canon material

Inside the dimly lit shop, dark magic items are haphazardly displayed. On Mr. Borkin's counter sits a candle, its eerie blue flame flickering, casting an unsettling glow on the silence. Little Snowy Owl brings you the latest information on the new scene, "Borkin-Borkin Shop"!

✦New Scene: Borkin-Borkin Shop✦ Located in Knockturn Alley, Borkin-Borkin is an antique shop run by Borkin and Mr. Burk. Its regular customers include many with sinister intentions. The shop has a history of shady dealings, selling items imbued with dark magic or other dangerous properties; the owners have long been accustomed to handling all sorts of unusual magical artifacts.

✧Shop Environment: Dust floats, and the oppressive atmosphere is filled with the mingled smells of old parchment and rusted metal. The dim candlelight barely illuminates the entire shop, and the haphazardly displayed items seem to conceal some hidden danger. The deeper you go, the more uneasy you feel.

✧Items for Sale: This place should be a shop selling or buying antiques, but it's filled with goods of bizarre uses and mysterious origins. Items strictly monitored by the Ministry of Magic are the most popular choices here; the more dangerous they are, the more they attract those with ill intentions—glass eyeballs, strangely shaped bones, withered ghost claws…

✦New Character: Mr. Borgin✦ Mr. Borgin always wears an old, worn robe, and beneath his unassuming exterior lies a greedy heart.

He deeply understands the darker side of human nature, and when introducing his goods, he always manages to precisely stir up the fear and greed in his customers. This shopkeeper occasionally buys items that interest him from others, either to collect them or to resell them at a higher price.

Lucius Malfoy has repeatedly sold his items to him to avoid potential trouble from the Ministry of Magic's searches.

New scenes and characters will arrive on December 10th, bringing exciting story chapters and fun gameplay. Stay tuned!

I wonder if the selling for this shop will be anything like the one where we had to sell candies a few seasons back?

[abstract sierra]

Most likely will be just season filling and not actually selling stuff to us

[abstract sierra]

Fountain of youth

Guy just went back in time

Can't wait for Monday to see new balance roulette

https://tenor.com/view/russian-roulette-gun-gif-24197229

[abstract sierra]

Cloak now draw all agro after getting out of the invisibility | Suitcase now cost 5MP so cant be paired with mooncalf for reduced cost

[green glacier]

Suitcase one would be pretty neat. But I think Newt will be hurt pretty badly cuz of it

[abstract sierra]

Newt already is strong with its echo summing stuff at lower cost. Swooping evil was nerf cause of it👀

[green glacier]

I wish we could have stats for global too. Cuz in China in duo Newt has less then 50% winrate for 2 seasons straight ( According to their meta report )

[abstract sierra]

In the rigth hands Newt is solid but loses to bella.

Oh rigth.. another nerf.. Bellatrix DE Cooldown reverted back to the old 11sec

[green glacier]

Any echo can be solid in a hands of skilled player tbf ( Maybe apart from Neville, that one hit right through the bottom with cloak and murltrap nerf )

[abstract sierra]

That cooldown buff was just too much.. now it literally spams DE non stop

[green glacier]

I think it's okay. The main issue for me is that this DE can raise her bar too witch leads to a giant snowballing

[abstract sierra]

Thats the cooldown being reduced by 50%

Same problem

They cud have reduced a bit not just cut in half.

[harsh needle]

Cant believe its been a whole two months since they set most of our worlds on fire

[tiny grove]

i always played newt without shtcase i hate this card since day one and all those nobrainers spamming it

[harsh needle]

Im here for the suitcase 5mp for real

[tiny grove]

suitcase cost 9 😤

[harsh needle]

Would also help reduce the loco suitcase madness of flitwick

[tiny grove]

how in hell those players find "enjoyable" just to spam the same cards over and over how is it "magical"

[harsh needle]

Thissss

Its mindless spam😂

You dont even have to look at your opponent

[raw brook]

Because it doesn’t take effort
Some people just wanna get to high rank leisurely for the sake of it rather than play for fun (also some people kinda can’t swap play styles considering the whole card lvl investment thing)

I wish I could swap to playing basic attack decks but my cards for those decks are too low lvl

[tiny grove]

and now the crab is also everywhere 🤣

[raw brook]

I’d rather they just nerf the bird itself
It being 5 mana would make it hard to use with newt considering it’s a card that was designed for him

[charred sluice]

Don't you ban flit? My flit is always banned in duo

[harsh needle]

Ced or Harry are a higher priority ban for me

[charred sluice]

I want them to nerf cloak

Thats no brain spell card

[tiny grove]

i find hermione cloack thunderstorm more deadly than the cedrics

[harsh needle]

I can handle some flitwicks, but the multisuitcase spam is too much

[harsh needle]

When both players playing thunderstorm yeah, but one is meh

[charred sluice]

Bring back murtlap heal if no suitcase fodder hp

[tiny grove]

harry is still one op deck yeah i fear theml

[harsh needle]

I HATE him

He focuses you you won't play at all

[charred sluice]

I don't ban them in solo

[harsh needle]

I dont even blink when I see a harry, instaban

[raw brook]

I find them both equally annoying
Hermione has ridiculous instant dmg while Cedric has prolonged survivability and stamina

[harsh needle]

Oh I hardly play solo😅

[charred sluice]

I still ban hagrid

[harsh needle]

I dont fear him no more, cloak supremacyyy😂

[charred sluice]

Lvl 21 ff/squid is hard to deal with when you are summon user

[raw brook]

I’d rather get swarmed than get cc’ed every second

[charred sluice]

Even crab + present is deadly

[raw brook]

Kill Harry

[harsh needle]

Id rather the fiendfyre over the Squid tbh

The Squid reaaaalllyyy sucks

[charred sluice]

Cloak needs serious nerf

[harsh needle]

THE CRAB DID NOT NEED THAT BUFF

Putt him in a good spot and he covers half the field

No

[raw brook]

Neville was already horrendous before
Then they added cloak and now he’s just not even worth playing

[charred sluice]

shitty buff

[harsh needle]

Like talk about a useless echo

[charred sluice]

I hate crab more than suitcase

It's easier to deal with suitcase than crab

Spell players knock my filled suitcase in no time

[stone wharf]

im so unmotivated istg i wanna quit this game but I've spent so much time... and money

[raw brook]

Sunk cost fallacy

[charred sluice]

Atp if you are suitcase hater, you are just not willing to learn how to deal with it

[charred sluice]

Last season nerf really hit like a truck

You don't know what to invest in anymore

[tiny grove]

wth is present immobilize us when we ressurect

[charred sluice]

Frrr

Thats a crazy combo if done right

[raw brook]

Ron echo is an abomination

[charred sluice]

S-tier

[raw brook]

Crowed control awakened

They need to add a card that can cleanse negative effects

[tiny grove]

this game would be better wo creatures summon

duelist are not pokemon trainers

😒

[raw brook]

Meh
I always like it when multiplayer games have different archetype and play styles

[tiny grove]

possible with echo and different spells

can specialize in heal, lightning, ice anything

[raw brook]

Reminds me of people that argue over ranged vs melee in hero shooters

[tiny grove]

duelist in magical world is not pokemon like it is 1v1 spell casting

not i summon you erumpent vs i summon you giant squid

[raw brook]

No one’s forcing u to play summon decks tho

U can enjoy playing spell decks

But u need to understand that spells are inherently weak to summons

Like how summons are weak to basic attack decks

Is it even possible to beat Harry as a snape player?

[abstract sierra]

Nintendo spies watching all this

[tiny grove]

harry is good everywhere

it has good dps and cycle

but those are ancient echoes like snape too

even voldemort is very strong i can put azkaban and incendio on both of ennemies they lose even like half hp even more

couldnt augment the zouwu mega op combo with obscurus all are low lvl

[raw brook]

Nintendo?

u mean netease?

[abstract sierra]

pokemon was mention👀

any similarities they hunt

the summoning part that is and having them fight for ya

[tiny grove]

they serve games graphics like ps2 on switch 2 and jealous about studios providing better than their poo

[raw brook]

I wonder what kind of new deck archetype could the game have if the devs decide to keep brainstorming ideas

[tiny grove]

they do abusive suing and they recently lost some cases

[alpine bear]

cloak doesn’t affect hagrid echo buff anymore

[tiny grove]

like they would forbid any game to use flying mount or such ... guys

[abstract sierra]

how so? what was doing before?👀

[raw brook]

Cloak prevents hagrid summons from self healing

[alpine bear]

???????

Hagrid echo basically died with cloak

[raw brook]

His viability really took a dent from it

[abstract sierra]

Oh the Malice stuff

[alpine bear]

🤣

[raw brook]

More like anti heal

[alpine bear]

Cloak killed hagrid echo and Harry companion

[raw brook]

They made cloak as a solution against the murtlap abuse

So people would whale on its banner

[abstract sierra]

that was a double nerf.. rat was also nerfed

[abstract sierra]

that would be a easy fix.. like lock Malice only stacking up to 200

would be a nerf but not stackable or getting high values

[alpine bear]

All these nerfs worked 100% well for the new echos, flitwick and Djokovic

[raw brook]

Flitwick doesn’t even need murtlap

[alpine bear]

Flitwick is op with suitcase and legilimency already

[raw brook]

Legilimency flitwick is like Tier2 at best

It’s a fun deck but it’s not close to being meta and is really easy to beat

Especially if u use any card that can mess up its rotation cycles like sbs and the new floo network card

[abstract sierra]

legilimens can just trow you a random card so its kinda like SBS.

[raw brook]

Or just save ur mana to get rid of their ashwinder

[abstract sierra]

Can be realy nice like having a double summon squid or locomotors though

[raw brook]

That’s if ur really lucky and copy those from the opponents hand before they use em

Squid I can understand being a decent win con

But locomotors are frauds

[abstract sierra]

its from the 4 cards in hand or the whole deck?

[raw brook]

Their own power fell off
Only good now for feeding suitcase

[raw brook]

In hand

[raw brook]

What is this monstrosity

“A little bit of this and little bit of that” ass deck

[abstract sierra]

nahh he plays it well

[alpine bear]

The sbs one works surprisingly well

It tried it for fun

[abstract sierra]

double suitcase then double niffler

[raw brook]

Does it work for 8100+ elo

[alpine bear]

It works for 10k

[abstract sierra]

hes at 10k

bro here is good at duels🪄

https://tenor.com/view/arms-crossed-flex-muscles-gif-14905270

[alpine bear]

I prefer the 654 one it’s easier and tanks more

[abstract sierra]

yeah.. but then you do 32 for double niffler

[raw brook]

What’s the full combo?

[alpine bear]

I use this 562 one too, the regular one now

[abstract sierra]

hmm the 2MP pudle bonus

thats a free nifler

[alpine bear]

Loco snitch suitcase => centaur niffler

=> legilimency loco

[raw brook]

The legilimency looks like it’s just here as a bonus

[alpine bear]

Yup, I use it when I don’t have the combo ready at the start

[abstract sierra]

luck of the draw

[alpine bear]

I use it at the very beginning before the opponent starts

I almost always get a snitch for 0mp with it

Niffler legilimency loco

[raw brook]

Damn that’s a whole win condition

[alpine bear]

That way I can double suitcase => double the 0 mp card later

With legilimency you can be as quick as 562

I think I have a video wait

It’s against a 562 flitwick

[raw brook]

How would it work against an aggro deck?

[alpine bear]

You take damage at the beginning for the sake of the full double suitcase

But it’s harder against aggro deck

It’s useless against mcgo orb whiz that saves all his review cards and spam it at once with Abi as 2nd companion

[raw brook]

Mcg control decks 🥀

My nemesis

[alpine bear]

Yeah I can’t find a solution against that

It’s too good on solo

But on duo honestly these decks are surprisingly reliable

That’s why flitwick and ced are being the carry these season imo

[raw brook]

Control priest son(hearthstone) or control mcg daughter(hpma)

[charred sluice]

One inflatus and game gone

[alpine bear]

When I see a mcgo using orb at the beginning on a harmless centaur

I know I’m doomed 💀

[raw brook]

Playing with their food

[charred sluice]

Orb doesn't scare me as much as inflatus😔

[alpine bear]

Orb at the beginning is cooking like @raw brook said 🤣
