So I've finally decided to dig into Root and my gosh, I now understand why everyone is so positive about this. I'm still reading and watching playthroughs - only one actual game under my belt using the ipad app.
I've started coming across the term Reach and I think it has something to do with helping decide which factions go well together in an x-player setup. I've also seen multiple calculators already. But I don't get it yet, nor do I understand how I can use a calculator to find factions that together will deliver an engaging game. Who can explain this to me please:

1. what is reach and how did "the system" come up with the numbers for the different factions (marquise 10, Eyrie 7, Vagabond 5, Woodland 3) and how can I interpret what those numbers say about the specific factions
2. how do I use a calculator - I've tried to understand the one on root.seiyria.com but haven't yet
3. I think my preferred setup will become 2 player using base game only: me against a Bot. I couldn't get the calculator to work for a 2 player count for just the base factions. Is the Reach system doable for 2 players, base game only?

thanks much in advance! This is an amazing journey!

Place of Origin: ancient Egypt ( from inside the house of the pharaoh) (Moses writes the first 5 books of the Old Testament/Bible) ( adoption of Moses is a fake alibi as to explain why Moses comes from inside the house of the pharaoh)

• (YHWH) Yahweh means I AM, God Yahweh, or substituted God I AM; you’ve been fooled into believing that you are the “ God of the Bible” or rather the “ god of the Bible”, “ god I AM” . ( but more on that later)

Exodus 3:14 God replied to Moses, “ I Am Who I Am . Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
I AM has sent me to you, or substituted , I sent my self.
( online bible : biblehub .com ( with various versions of the bible)

• If the Old Testament/Bible is not true, then it is a book of sorcery (more on that later). ( and not even the Jewish religion believes in the New Testament)

Psalm 103:1
Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Put simple, God does not need you to bless God.( But more on that later)
Before trusting anything from ancient Egypt, first trust God.
Taking in to consideration, a rational prayer would be prudent:

God, if the Old Testament is not true, I do not believe in it, amen.
God, if the New Testament is not true, I do not believe in it, amen.
God, if the Old Testament is true, I believe in it, amen.
God, if the New Testament is true, I believe in it, amen.

The Old Testament/Bible is not true, if you’re having trouble telling, there is the rational prayer.
Ignorance always says its correct, praying in a rational manner there is no error.
And no offense, but this prayer also applies to your religion, even if its not based on the Old Testament/Bible, just substitute the name of your religion.
Amen = so be it.
Who told you, you cant pray in a rational manner, someone from inside the house of the pharaoh?
2 Chronicles 7:13
13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land..."
The fraud Bible boasts of causing drought, drought, which is really bad; I kindly ask you to pray in a rational manner.
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
According to this verse, not even the clergy understands.
Raise your hand clergy if you accepted this Old Testament/Bible book without reading it all first, if you taught this book without reading it all first.
How are you supposed to assess this Bible book and evaluate it's validity if you don't use education, they are trying to manipulate you; ancient Egypt is trying to manipulate you. And you're going to have to excuse me but, a book from inside the house of the pharaoh asking you to not understand is not normal. Please realize that it says in the Bible book that you do not understand, it is not a little game, it is not a little joke. Consider it for a second, what if it what the Pharaoh who asked you to not understand. What is the extent of the manipulation, usually people join those cults since they are children. A religious book asking people to not understand is typical of cults.
And I hope you understand that God does not need you to bless God.
That should be enough to prove the Bible false, I ask you kindly to share the article, it is very important, the rest of the article are other points of interest, you are welcome to read it at your leisure. Drought is not good.
Other prudent rational prayers:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, amen.
God, I believe in you, amen.
God, I do not accept anything from religions that are false via sorcery or blasphemous prayers, amen.

God, I do not accept anything via sorcery or blasphemous prayers, amen.
______________________________________________________________________________
The original Old Testament is written without vowels, and contains no vowels; this means that technically the original Old Testament does not say God, but G-d ( God written without vowels). The Old Testament is just a book of sorcery, and is not based on God. I repeat, the original Old Testament is written without vowels and is not based on God.
You cannot say it is based on God, because the original Old Testament does not say God, it says G-d; if others added vowels to the derived copies of this Bible book, it would make it a blasphemous book ( but not only that, it would also be a book of sorcery as well).

The original Old Testament contains no vowels or punctuation and cannot be read, the original Old Testament was interpreted; so an interpreted book from inside the house of the Pharaoh says: G-d says to not understand, cause drought and destroy plants. And this book is being given to children. The Old Testament/Bible is not based on God and is false.
So technically, the original Old Testament which is written without vowels or punctuation doesn’t say anything.
Adding vowels and punctuation to the original Old Testament/Torah scroll makes it invalid.
The original Old Testament/Bible is not based on God, but G-d, therefore, the Old Testament/Bible is false. God and G-d are not the same thing.
A little denial is normal, but it is obvious that God does not need you to bless God. Praying in a rational manner there is no error.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Share the article link, educate, suggestions, groups on social media( facebook), news stations( a story where the Pharaoh tricks people into causing drought is of interest to the public. I ask news stations to be impartial, I remind you, the Church is separate from the State).
If this were a fictional movie, you would have already seen it at the box office, I know you love fictional movies.
You can call it “Mummy 4 the time I loved drought and complained about it, a lot.
You played with a book from inside the house of the Pharaoh, that’s what happened.
Feel free to share the article with your local church, and not so local church ( email, Instagram message, facebook message).
Copy and paste the following to share article:
S.O.S MOST IMPORTANT NEWS RIGHT NOW!! Article “Origin of the Bible”, Bible False, originally from ancient Egypt, from inside house of pharaoh. RESPONSIBLE for DROUGHT. EMERGENCY.
share article,
make it viral
( paste article link here)

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Please don’t be the typical cult, if a book is false, then it can be proved false, there is the rational prayer.
Important Message: Discovery Bible originally from inside the house of the Pharaoh. I repeat, Discovery Bible originally from inside the house of the Pharaoh. Bible False, Important. Contact the Church. Drought is not a laughing matter. The destruction of plants is not a laughing matter.
If the Old Testament/Bible were false, how long should it take to be known. Drought is not good.
Note: Is it valid to pray in a rational manner? That’s a rhetorical question, of course it is valid to pray in a rational manner.
If you say no, it is not valid to pray in a rational manner, who benefits? Only corruption.
Bonus:
Prayer( as mentioned before, not even the Jewish religion believes in the New Testament, the New Testament is not validated by the Jewish Religion):
God, if the New Testament is true, then Jesus is the son of God, amen.
According to this prayer, you cant accuse one of anything.
I declare the Old Testament/Bible void and obsolete; it should take a year, plus or minus for it to be known. Someone “famous” ties their shoe and everyone knows in 5 days. If the Bible were false, how long should it take to be known. Drought is not good. Dec/15/2020.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Apocrypha books, unvalidated books added to the Roman Catholic Bible.
Prudent prayer: God, if the Roman Catholic Bible is not true, I do not believe in the Roman Catholic Bible, amen.

A peaceful protest would be good, the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt should be exposed for their corruption.
Note: The religion of Islam ( Abrahamic religion, but not validated by the Jewish religion) is based on the Old Testament, if the Old Testament is false, then the religion of Islam is false.
The Mormon religion/book of Mormon, is an Abrahamic religion, but is not validated by the Jewish or Christian religion.
______________________________________________________________________________

If the Old Testament/Bible turned out to be false, what is the protocol, what is the plan? Is it to continue to cause drought due to a book from ancient Egypt? So there is no plan by the Church, that is not very responsible of the Church. Contact the Church, pray in a rational manner.

This is nothing personal, people sometimes make mistakes. If by error, you accidentally joined a false religion, how are you going to separate yourself from such false religion? Very simple, a simple prayer:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, thank you.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

It would be good to make a Religion that is based on God.
God refers to the Creator of Life and the Universe.
This Religion based on God is not an Abrahamic Religion, and is not based on the Old Testament.
The word God is not exclusive of Judaism ( Old Testament G-d) or Christianity.
It would be good to make a Religion that prays and gives thanks to God, God is good.
It would be good to have a place to share good things, a place to share friendship.
No Religious book should promote the destruction of plants or cause drought.
God, I believe in you, thank you.
Creator of the Universe and Life, I believe in you.
God forgives us.
I ask God for forgiveness.
I thank God.

-Theology refers to the study of God.( Theology is not exclusive of Judaism or Christianity).
I ask Theologians to be impartial, not understanding is not accepted in Theology. There is the rational prayer.
______________________________________________________________________________
It’s a not common case, this prayer should not offend you:
God, I do not believe in any religion that is false, thank you.
Amen = so be it. thank you = thank you

Anybody know of any bars in the Dallas/Richardson/Plano area that will be showing the Mavs game on Wednesday 5/15?? Every bar I tried for Game 4 was dedicating the majority of their TVs to the Stars and they play again on Wednesday! I mean a place with quality drinks and food too!

So little background info,
My players, owlin gunslinger with a deathwish named The Duke. A shapechanger monk named Kayd who used to be a hellrider that during the campaign died in hell just before finding Zariel Sword and got brought back to life by the divine powers of said sword. And a cleric named Maliketh that shifted gods from Kelimvor to Asmodeus himself.
We have been having a blast, the cleric got crazy strong after beating Arkhan and taking Venca's hand and fane eater.
They went after the adamatine rods, one of them was in Arkhan's tower. Here they fought and beat 3 of the 5 dragons. During this fight Lulu died. Sad but it happens, it is hell.
After this fight they teleport to fort knuckelbones to get some much needed rest. However the camp is dead quiet and bloody tracks lead into the interior. Here they find that creatures slain in Avernus can get reborn, devil Arkhan stands before them and shows his ultimate weapon. The eye of Vecna! With the help of 10 redcaps/madcaps it is a hard fight for the worn out party.
They win and the Cleric of Asmodeus goes for the Eye. The holy monk tried to intercept but gets banished. The cleric gets the eye and teleports out dropping the banishment on the monk bringing him back to the gunslinger.
The monk and gunslinger talk about how the cleric must be now truly evil.
The Cleric puts in the Eye of Vecna and learns of his new powers.
End of session.
Before next session starts the cleric reaches out and says he is shocked to find out that he can now cast wish once per month. He does not want to break the game and wants to use it to restore balance to the party. He decided he wants to bring back Lulu.
I tell him the wish is his and that he can use it as he sees fit.
(What I don't tell him is that I have already brought back Lulu, not as a holyphant but as a Mealephant!)
Start of next session. Players don't tell each other their intentions and we start the game. Cleric teleports back in and tell the others that he wants to show that all the power he got through 'questionable' means can still be used for good.
He casts wish.
As a DM describe the spell for we have 1 fairly new players. I tell them of the standard uses of the spell and of the other use of the spell where it can be up to DM discretion.
I ask the Cleric to word his wish.
He states: " I wish that Lulu be brought back to us alive."
A bright flash And there stands Lulu the Mealephant! Monk and gunslinger are now fully convinced that evil creatures can't do acts of good. A fight breaks out between the players (they have talked about this). Meanwhile Bad goth Lulu a Large abomination, fiend, Celestial. Turns her trunk to the skies and calls out to her former master.
In the distance skies a flying fortress turns and is now heading towards the players.

Anybody know of any bars in the Dallas/Richardson/Plano area that will be showing the Mavs game on Wednesday 5/15?? Every bar I tried for Game 4 was dedicating the majority of their TVs to the Stars and they play again on Wednesday! I mean a place with quality drinks and food too!

Just bought my first Xbox controller model 1914 for PC gaming.
Worked fine yesterday, today sometimes it connects in 1 sec, sometimes in 10 sec. Read about firmware updates, that some broke BT connectivity and some swear it fixed everything. My firmware is 5.9.2709.0. Should i update? And if its worse then before, can i downgrade?
Ideas?

Hello.
I'm tying to figure out what is going on here. I have Google Fi as a cell provider on a Google Pixel 8 Pro. In late March I switched my calling plan to Unlimited Plus so I could add tethering. I got my bill this month and Google Fi is saying I used 91 gigs of data total. 54 for my phone and 36 for my tethered device. My phone is only reporting 42 gigs total. 6.5 for apps on my phone and 36 for tethering. WHERE is the 48 gig discrepancy?
I don't play video games (ZERO), I don't watch videos on my phone. I don't Tik Tok, I don't edit graphics or video. I don't video chat or stream video game live streams. I don't do anything heavy data wise on my phone.
How did I go from 8-10 gigs a month data used on my phone to 54 in one month?!
When I look at my mobile data usage it says tethering was 36. The next most used was Facebook at 1.01 gigs. All my apps together only account for 6.5 gigs (and I rounded all the totals up).
Are they double dipping? Counting the data when my phone was acting as a router and then adding tethering data used thinking it's 2 different streams?
To put this in perspective, I watched about 20 hours total of Youtube TV at 240k on my tethered device. That used 36 gigs. I would have to watch almost TWICE that amount for my phone to use that kind of data. It's not possible.
Why is there such a large discrepancy between what my phone reports and what Google Fi reports?
I added this months usage to the post. We are basically half way though the month and it's a fraction of the data compared to last month. I'm doing the same thing this month as last. And if you look at the app usage, what Google Fi reports and what my phone reports are a BIG difference.
They aren't listening to me. Help me help them understand.

Good evening nerds, after perusing last week’s thread about synergies with Jace Reawakened, I wanted to try to start a more in-depth discussion of the archetype that I think might best leverage his abilities: Blue Moon. While the most obvious place for Jace is slotting into the Mystmin-style Dimir Lurrus control shell (and that’s probably just stronger overall regardless of synergy), I think there are some clear benefits to going in another direction, namely: 3MV sorcery-speed value spells to leverage the plot ability, more situational spells to leverage the loot ability, and snap/bolt to leverage the ult.
Before we get too far in, I should note that I don’t have a meaningful match history to show off here. Results have been mediocre as I’ve tweaked toward this current iteration, and I haven’t tested exhaustively enough to thoroughly map out all the matchups. With that being said, it’s a fairly fun deck to play, and I think it might have enough general quality to be somewhat competitive with a refined list and play. With the disclaimer out of the way, let’s get into the deck:
Jace + plot targets:

• 2-3x [[Jace Reawakened]] - this is the real development in tech for this deck, and it synergizes very well with the rest of the cards that you already want to be playing
• 2-3x [[Blood Moon]] - The namesake of the deck. Fairly strong against domain, which seems decently represented in the meta. Plotting this on turn 4 is pretty late to fully cripple your opponent, but restricting them to one spell per turn is still useful when holding up interaction.
• 3-4x [[Fae of Wishes]] - Obviously a spicy inclusion, but it’s just such a juicy plot target it’s hard to pass up. Also a good blocker in a pinch, and it turns on Flame of Anor. More discussion on wishboard options to follow.
• 2-3x [[Fable of the Mirror-Breaker]] - Fable is everything you want in a generic plot target: great value for cost, not reliant on instant speed (unlike Archmage’s Charm), excellent with snapcaster, treasures can occasionally let you Blood Moon on otherwise sketchy lands
• 2-4x [[Flame of Anor]] - similar to Fable, this hits the spot as a plot target: plays well at instant speed but isn’t reliant on it, gives you great value to recover from a slow start, and synergizes with both of your creatures

Interaction:

• 4x [[Lightning Bolt]] - Generically great removal, and can occasionally close out the game with a Jace ult. Would prefer to run more if possible
• 4x [[Mana Drain]] - No question, best counter in the format. Your plot targets (and Lorien) tend to make great mana sinks for this as well.
• 2-4x [[Spell Pierce]] - Obviously seeing quite a bit of play in such a fast format. Your favorite card against SnT, Natural Order, Minsc, and the like.
• 2-3x [[Stifle]] - Another spicy inclusion. This spell probably isn’t good enough for the format in general, however it does play uniquely well with Blood Moon. First of all, it supports attacking your opponent’s mana base, and stone-raining an early fetch can make an otherwise middling Blood Moon excellent. Once Blood Moon is on the battlefield, Stifle helps defend it against outs like Boseiju, Otawara, or Leyline Binding.
• 1-2 [[Stern Scolding]] - Bowmasters bad, ergo scolding good. Also incidentally hits many non-bowmasters.

Other:

• 2-4x [[Snapcaster Mage]] - Fairly slow card for such a fast format, but that is somewhat mitigated by biasing toward 1MV interaction. Works great with Fable and Flame of Anor.
• 3-4x [[Brainstorm]] - On the upside, find what you need when you need it. On the downside… bowmasters. Probably worthwhile, but I could see trimming here depending on the meta.
• 2-3x [[Lorien Revealed]] - Like a tapped fetch, but more resilient to Blood Moon and synergizes well with snap and mana drain
• ~20 lands - Fairly standard mix of fetches & island duals, heavy on islands to support the Blood Moon. Probably worth running an [[Otawara]] and a [[Mystic Sanctuary]], possibly worth mixing in an additional sanctuary and/or [[Hall of the Storm Giants]] depending on how much you want to tempt fate.

Sideboard:

• Tier 1 wish targets - [[Roiling Vortex]], [[Pithing Needle]], [[Surgical Extraction]], [[Unlicensed Hearse]] - nothing too surprising here
• Tier 2 wish targets - [[Test of Talents]], [[Gaea’s Blessing]], [[Tormod’s Crypt]], [[Brotherhood’s End]], additional Blood Moon - additional support for common scenarios, or options for rarer scenarios. Note that you can put Blessing into your deck with Brainstorm when needed
• Generic advantage cards - this is where the wishboard has felt fairly disappointing to be honest. You really want something disgusting like a Valki to close things out, but I’m just not seeing it. I think [[Narset, Parter of Veils]] may be the best option to push a game from even to ahead, but it’s a bit situational and lackluster. [[Search for Azcanta]] is another cheap option, but very slow. [[Chandra, Torch of Defiance]] is a classic for this slot, but it seems to play poorly with the blue pips and instant speeds among the rest of the deck. It could also be that an additional fable is the best option.
• Normal sideboard cards - [[Molten Impact]] and [[Aether Gust]] as general interaction, probably some additional copies of wish targets for depending on the metagame

Other cards under consideration:

• Other generic control spells - Archmage’s Charm is fairly bad while plotted and very risky with Blood Moon. Counterspell might be good enough as hard counter #5. Expressive Iteration is great value, but I’m not sure it outcompetes the other value cards already included. Dig Through Time might be worthwhile as a 1-of.
• Delirium package - most blue moon decks I’ve seen have been running this, but I feel like it may just take up too much room for what you get. You don’t get the most out of DRC like a more graveyard-focused or aggressive deck would, bauble is a no-go with vortex (and you don’t have a Lurrus to recur it), and heat can largely be replaced by flame of anor.
• [[Tishana’s Tidebinder]] - This is probably the best fit that I don’t already have locked for the main deck. It’s a wizard, it supports the stifle/moon plan, and it’s great with a fable that sticks. The biggest downside is that it’s expensive, and it doesn’t interact particularly well with Jace, but it might be good enough regardless.
• [[Vendilion Clique]] - Another flash threat option similar to Tidebinder. V clique is also a wizard, it plots better than tidebinder does, and it’s fantastic with Narset if you can get there, but on the downside it doesn’t work with fable.
• [[Fury]] - coming soon, this seems like it will slot in very nicely. Helps keep the board free of bowmasters, and it works rather nicely with fable, either early game as pitch fodder or late game with reflection.
• [[Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer]] - a classic rage inducer when paired with a turn 2 Blood Moon, but honestly doesn’t seem to have a great place in the meta. Decent against SnT, but it seems like every other meta deck has T1 removal, blockers, or both. You also don’t really have enough other must-remove threats to make it backbreaking in the lategame, nor play few enough creatures to expect zero removal in post-sideboard games.
• 3rd color splash - Jund can get away with it with Jegantha, both as limitation on pip requirements and as a safety valve when color screwed. Jund this ain’t, with several 2x blue pip spells and only fable treasures to bail you out. With that being said, there are some interesting options if you’re feeling bold.
  • In Temur, you have great midrange cards like Jarsyl (incidentally a wizard) and Oko (wishable). You also have Veil as interaction, and several options to shore up your enchantment removal. Going more exotic, reclamation exists, and [[bramble familiar]] gets a steep discount with Jace.
  • Jeskai also has some potential. [[Deputy of Detention]] and [[Reflector Mage]] are both wizards as well as excellent reflection targets. T3f is a solid wish option, and you have veto/swords/fragment if you want additional interaction options.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I’d love to hear about any experiences y’all have had with blue moon in the current timeless meta, as well as any suggestions for adjustments to the deck.

Preamble

This is going to be a bit of a lengthy post so bear with me. I am going to get into boons, arcana cards, vows, and weapon/equipment choice in this post and how I eventually was able to clear the underworld at 32 fear. All of this is in context of the build I am going for and the weapon I am using. Different vows, cards, etc. may be better for different weapons and playstyles. This is not a definitive guide and I have only beaten it once so far and by sticking to one weapon during my attempts. I enjoy writing about stuff like this and hope that this can possibly help y'all.
I finished the surface on my 23rd run and then the underworld on the next for reference. I just now cleared the underworld at 32 fear on my 143rd run. Of those between were me completing testaments, trying out weapons/aspects, and chaos trials. I attempted 32 fear a total of 36 times before I finally got it. Total in game time according to steam is 74 hours lol (I had a four day weekend and my gf is out of town so this is pretty much all I did).
Proof of run

Weapon/Aspect: Momus Staff

Firstly you want to get enough resources to unlock and fully upgrade the aspect, I think 10 total nightmare? Giving your special +30 power. I wouldn't bother 32 fear until you can get it all the way up.
For a few runs while I was using the skull with Melinoe/Persephone aspect, as I was trying to complete the 20 fear testament simultaneously. Stopped since I decided I wasn't really comfortable with the skull and switched to Melinoe's staff. Did that for a while and then saw this video and decided to give the Momus staff a shot, where i then won in 7 runs after switching. It also probably helped that I changed around some vows around this time, more on that later.
Watch the video for a breakdown but essentially you want Poseidon special + legendary boon, and ideally the double moonshot hammer that gives your special 2 more projectiles that seek. He switches his binds for left and right click but I did not, up to you.
Took a minute to get used to but essentially I just spammed speciall the entire time in fights, kiting enemies when necessary. I used my cast defensively to root enemies and create space mostly until I got a 3 specific boons, more later. Did not really use omegas at all, as I turned off the magick regen card and turned on the vow that removes your magick at the start of each encounter. If I did gain some magick, I would only use it for the omega special to regain some health when it was safe in fights (5 healing if you are near it when it explodes).

Arcana Cards

This is what I used but some may find other ones more to their liking. I will explain my choices below. Be sure to upgrade these to their max potential. The descriptions that I give are referencing their maxed out bonus. I almost exclusively used my charon cards (obol points) to order 8 moon dust in the camp to upgrade faster. Also having 30 grasp is required so be sure to get that maxed out too. Just playing the game should get you there. Gathering bones and completing minor prophecies are helpful in getting more moondust and nightmare faster to upgrade your cards and aspects. I have starred the one's that I think are almost absolutely necessary.
Arcana card choices
I. The Sorceress: Not using omega moves with this build for the most part, mainly chosen to just fill out the top row to awaken the divinity card.
II. The Wayward Son: +2 health (with 50% healing reduction from a vow) is definitely helpful, some much needed passive healing.
* III. The Huntress: +50% attack and special damage when you have less than 100 magick is probably a must have. Especially in my vows set up where I pretty much never have any magick.
IV. Death: Also to just fill out the row for divinity, not really using omega moves.
* V. The Messenger: +10% dodge chance is a lifesaver.
VII. The Titan: More health (and magick) is helpful for the early game before you get any centaur hearts.
* X. The Lovers: 0 damage from bosses for 3 hits is absolutely nuts, this was a whole keepsake in the last game. Attacks that miss you from dodge or daze from Apollo don't count towards a hit as well.
XI. The Swift Runner: Just generally helpful for kiting and running around, especially with increased enemy movement from a vow.
* XII. Eternity: 3 death defiances are absolutely essential probably in any playthrough unless you are a god at not getting hit ever.
* XVIII. Origination: Enemies with 2 curses take +50% damage is fantastic and helps to absolutely shred through them
* XXII. The Champions: 3 chances to reroll boon choices among other things is pretty much a must for run consistency. I would mainly use it on my first Poseidon boon to get the special. Would also use again to try and get slip or blast damage one or legendary from him, also on Hestia to get her cast or the one that allows you to aim the cast (both possible prerequisites for their duo boon, more later).
XXIII. The Artificer: I slept on this one big time at first until I saw someone using it in a 32 heat run on youtube. Change a minor reward into a major one 3 times is fantastic and really helps in the early game. I would use all 3 in the first region for a chance to get a pom, heart, gold, boon, or hammer. I would almost put this one as a must but you do you.
XXIV. Divinity: 20% extra chance to get an epic boon. Activated by the full top row, its just nice to have to possibly get some more benefits out of boons.
Alternatives: Like I mentioned before I only activate I and IV mainly to activate divinity. You could lose them and go for IX Night (automatic charging for your hex) or XVI The Fates (+3 rolls to change location rewards). I feel like hexes are not all that impactiful personally (except for a couple). Also changing location rewards is a toss up, meh. You could also lose XI extra sprint speed to to open up 5 grasp and go for XV Stength (take and deal more damage at low hp), XVII The Boatman (get more gold at the start of the run), or XIX Excellence (higher % for rare boons offered), which all have valid arguments. In hindsight I think giving up those 3 for Stregnth or Excellence might be worth it, might try in future runs.

Oath of the Unseen Vows

Throughout my runs I experimented a lot with the various choices and found that the ones I chose are best for how I play. It is really up to you, this is just how I did it. I mostly messed around with damage taken, enemy spawns, and health, the rest pretty much stayed constant. I originally was using the 9 minute time limit per region for a majority of my runs until I switched aspects (and the 7 minute several times). I eventually decided that I was playing too aggresively to beat the clock and would lose most of, if not all my death defiances by Tartarus/Chronos, or earlier. I did still have decent amount of time to beat Chronos if I got there with the time limit, just the health and death defiance loss was too much. Here is what I went with and explanations for each, I starred the ones I think should be kept on and are relatively easy to deal with.
Vows Used
Vow of Blood (+3): Just don't get hit duh. No but seriously +60% damage to you hurts, a lot. I really wish I did not have to use this, but the alternatives I think are worse. As you play more you'll get better and learn attack patterns and how to kite effectively.
Vow of Dominance (+3): Enemies now have +30% health which is rough, but with no time limit, just take your time in killing enemies off safely.
Vow of Rebuke (+2): Enemies have 2 barriers before they can take damage, not too bad. Makes clearing enemies a bit harder, but with the poseidon boon, you apply two instances of damage with each hit. So only one special shot with the boon will clear the barrier, also the wave the shoots out of them helps to clear barriers of the other enemies.
Vow of Fury (+3): Enemies are 20% faster (and their projectiles too?! I'm pretty sure this is the case, I haven't played without it in a while so I'm not exactly sure). This one took some getting used to, not much I can say except just keep trying. Another +3 makes them 40% faster which I do not recommend. The screaming shades, wolves and their heads, thorny spinny guys in Oceanus, rats, and Chronos are all insane with 40% extra speed.
Vow of Suffering (+2): +100% for the first hit you take in each encounter. Same as Vow of Blood, its rough, wish I could go without it as well.
Vow of Commotion (+3): 60% more foes in encounters (does not affect the boss summons). Had this one a tier or two lower, or not at all, when I was experimenting with the time limit. The AOE from Poseidon definely helps here, just take your time to clear out enemies. It can get pretty bad in tartarus with the bags and skulls everywhere though so just be careful.
Vow of Haunting (+2): Enemies have 50% of spawning a revenant when killed which if left alone long enough will respawn them. These are annoying as hell but not terrible once you get used to it. On death a flaming green skull thing launches out of them and travels a bit of a distance, just run ovecollect them and they are negated, don't need to damage or whatever. Can sometimes be hard to spot if behind a wall or obstacle. Overall not that bad, its not the end of the world if you let them respawn. Definitely though go for the ones that would respawn an enemy that are hard/annoying to deal with ASAP e.g. rat spawning satyrs, wolves, any projectile shooting enemy. Sometimes I feel like rats almost always spawn a revenant which is annoying. I honestly think they should also rework this so that if an enemy respawns it can't have another revenant spawn.
* Vow of Wandering (+3): 25% chance for enemies to be from the next region. Really not that bad at all, just have to deal with some more annoying enemies with larger health pools.
Vow of Scars (+2): Healing is only 50% effective is not that bad. You only get +2 healing passively from the card now and a lot less from fountains and such, goes hand in hand with blood and suffering, you'll get better at not getting hit.
* Vow of Destitution (+2): Charon's shop (and wells) are 80% more expensive. You'll miss out some boons, healing, poms, hearts, etc. but its not awful, you will still gain a good amount of gold to usually buy a boon or something at the end of each region except Oceanus I found. Also with Poseidon in your god pool, he has some boons that can help with getting more gold like minor find doubling up, increased value of minor finds, and sunken treasure.
* Vow of Panic (+1): No more magick at the start of each encounter. In this build you don't really need it anyways so this is a freebie point of fear pretty much. Also if you decide to have the card that regens magick on it pretty much negates it after a little while.
** Vow of Forsaking (+2): This one might actually be beneficial. The two boon options you don't pick will not longer show up in your run. This is why I have the boon rerolls on, so I can guarantee to get Poseidon special on my first boon. Otherwise this helps to increase your chances of getting legendary or duo boons (if you have the prerequisites) since the boon choice pool is lowered after each pick. It is unfortunate though if both prereqs for poseidons legendary are in the given choices and you are out of rolls though.
* Vow of Arrogance (+4): Prime 10 magick for each level of rarity above common that you pick. Again, not using magick hardly in this build so doesn't really matter. Also in lower fear runs I have used this, it does not really matter all that much even when you are using omega moves.
Unused:

• Vow of Bitterness: Replace the first boon reward of each region with an onion (does not affect shop boons or trial of the gods rooms if they are the first ones you encounter). I tried this many times but it really just worsened run consistency. Also w a keepsake equipped after Erebus to guarantee a certain god's boon, that would become an onion if it was the first one I found, and then would not encounter that god again in that region.
• Vow of Desperation: Time limits for regions: 9, 7, then 5 minutes with increased fear for each increase in tier. Like I said, I stopped playing with this so I could play more carefully.
• Vow of Abandon: Negate all your arcana cards. Insane. Tried it once, it is just too much, the arcana cards are absolutely necessary I feel to clear 32 fear.

Boons/Hammers/Keepsakes/Familiar

Poseidon: Equip his keepsake at start, reroll for wave flourish (special) if needed and rarify. Afterwards look for slippery slope then crashing wave ideally. This primes you to get his legendary which gives +150% damage from splash effects to bosses. Other great ones are double up which is nuts that it can possibly double your hearts, gold, and poms you pick up. Ocean's bounty is nice to increase gold. Water fitness is pretty good if you can get 4 water elements to give you +100 health. Flood control is also nice for damage reduction.
Hestia: Equip her keepsake after Erebus if you did not already get her in your god pool (you get up to 4 gods like in Hades I). Ideally you want her both cast and glowing coal, which lets you aim your cast. Either of which in combination with slippery slope gets you access to Poseidon/Hestia duo boon scalding vapor whcih does insane damage over time. I'm not sure if you should prioritize glowing coal over her cast honestly, both have their upsides alone, but you do want both hopefully. With glowing coal so you can aim your cast since you will be fighting from a distance mostly (not always but in how I played this build I did for the most part), which can activate the steam cloud on foes with slip. Hestia cast is less safe and you need to be closer to enemies to get the steam cloud to activate, but it does more damage, continously applying steam on the enemy. Other boons like soot sprint are nice, almost like Athena's dash in the first game. Slow cooker infusion is alright but you may not get many fire elements to increase your base damage power. Flammable coating is great and helps to melt through armored enemies. Burnt offering is pretty nice to increase you health (and magick) pool if you happen to get offered to sacrifice a useless boon.
Other helpful god boons: Pretty much anything that can help apply another curse to enemies. Demeter and Aphrodite are probably the best since theirs are easy to apply without much effort like frigid sprint, gale force, glamour gain, and passion dash. The other gods require secondary boons to get a curse or your attack/special needs to give the curse, you won't really ever be using your attack and your special is reserved for Poseidon.
Hammers: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like I remember in Hades I if you chose a specific hammer you would be locked out of other hammer choices that affect the benefitting move. If the same applies to this game avoid picking a hammer that affects your special for your first hammer if it is not double moonshot, and hope for it on your second hammer. The DPS from Momus staff is still great with spamming special without it (I won my run without it). You could also go ahead and pick up rapid moonfire or shimmering moonshot on your first one because they are pretty powerful too, and I also may be wrong about the hammer exclusion thing.
Keepsakes: So of course Poseidon first, always. Hestia second if you don't get her in your god pool Erebus. Up to you and what you like for Oceanus, maybe choose Demeter or Aphrodite. If I got Hestia I would generally use any one of the following:

• Engraved pin
• Gold Purse
• White Antler
• Crystal Figurine
• Silken Sash
• Aromatic Phial (be sure to pick it up before using the fountain)
• Experimental Hammer
• Transcendent Embryo

Once in the mourning fields I would typically go with the Lion Fang, or possibly one of the above maybe. Lastly in Tartarus I would either use Knuckle Bones (if I felt comfortable with my health and death defiances), Luckier Tooth, or Evil Eye (if Chronos killed me last).
Sidenote: Is Echo bugged? Or is my game just messed up? I was never given the chance to give her a gift so I've never gotten her keepsake :(
Familiar Toula: Sorry Frinos, but Toula is just superior. She gives you an extra death defiance which when upgraded fully gives you 40 health on death. Also upgrading her attack lets her attack more times before she takes a little catnap (cute). She does 99 damage with each strike which is not insignificant. You don't need to go out of your way to sprint over her whenever she is resting to activate her, if she happens to be where you are running it is just some nice extra little bit of DPS. She has actually killed a few bosses for me in my runs lol.

The Winning Run

So all of this information is from finally beating 32 fear. I followed this strategy in my head for the most part. I ended up not getting double moonshot, but did get rapid moonfire. Poseidon offered me both prereqs for his legendary in the same choice without any rerolls left unfortunately, chose slip of course. I did get the duo boon and both of Hestia's cast boons which was nuts. Also I got rare crop right after I got Poseidon's special so it became heroic by the end. I also got offered to sacrifice rare crop after it became heroic by hestia to get more health, and I was then offered it again at epic rarity which increased 3 other of my boons which happened to hit Hestia's cast boons. I did not get any other way to apply another curse other than slip unfortunately as well. Started Tartarus with 2 or 3 death defiances + luckier tooth and beat Chronos on my last life. Overall though, not a perfect run but it still worked. Would have been even more nuts if I got the right hammer, legendary, and another curse effect

TL;DR

Momus Staff good. More special projectiles hammer + Poseidon special + legendary + Poseidon/Hestia duo = nuts DPS. Arcana cards important, vows are tough.

So one of my friends is currently planning on his build and all the parts are almost final the only thing left is to choose a motherboard which seems to be really confusing since every brands has its pros and cons
He'll be using this pc mainly for gaming and code compiling or maybe little bit of streaming
Parts - 7800x3d, Lancer blade 16x2 6000mhz cl30, msi ventus rtx 4080 super, msi m480pro 2tb, xpg core reactor 850w, thermalright peerless assassin, fractal north xl case
Country - Poland
So my question are -
1# he'll be using 2 m.2 slots for now and fill the other ones later so does filling the slot will affect the pcie lanes and if yes how much performance difference will be there
2# he's using 2 sticks of ram for now but he'll add other 2 later so does filling all slots affect the ram frequency if yes then how low can it go and which of these mobos is best for that
3# which out of these brands would be safer in terms of bios and after sales service in case something happens (I've heard that asus has fried many chips and has bad rma so what are your thoughts on that)
4#. By reading all the requirements above which motherboard would you recommend
I recommend him the b650e pg Riptide which is 900 pln but it has slightly blue colour to it so he didn't like it since he's going for all black no rgb build
Budget is not that big of an issue since he's splitting the total bill so he can pay slightly higher than this if it offers the value for it
Can anyone also explain what's the exact difference between b650E and x670E, as far as I know it mainly ports and slot and maybe more lanes but not sure
Also how does the lanes in motherboard works since on official website it sometims says that m.2_1 or any number will be filled then pcie 5.0x16 will run at x8 or something like that sohow does that work and can it impact the performance

Hi,
I do a couple of tournaments every year, but I am having problems keeping it together during round 2, both energywise and mental game. I often play well during R1, not seldom being in top 5 or top 10 for R2. But I always seem to fall through, playing badly and putting awfully. Feeling fatigued and drained both physically and mentally. I'm in average shape, not very different from my competitors and my R2s always screw with my rating. Going of my R1 ratings only i should be 870-890 but I'm stuck around 830-840. How do you keep up your energy and mental game during a one day, two round tournament?
