I just saw this post that clarified it was a fully automatic machine gun. Weapon of mass destruction sounds like a nuke, but from a legislative perspective, I can see how a fully automatic machine gun would qualify.

RIP. It’s been coming for a while, and Control Panel will likely be on hospice for a few more years, but it will be a sad day when control panel is gone.

Give us the highlights! What items did you find, especially early on, to help give you a boost? What challenges did you face?

While there are some really cool things coming (spatial video, action button, etc), the only reason to recommend an upgrade this year is for Apple Intelligence features. If your phone is old and it’s just your time to upgrade, then it’s a great year for it. But if you’ve got a newer phone, don’t rush for the upgrade.

MDMs already allow business to manage security permissions for apps. I don’t see why this would be any different. If the company has an MDM, this change should have no impact on their users. If they don’t have an MDM, they really need to get one, not just for this, but a lot of other security and usability reasons.

This will really suck for users of personal devices, though.

As a mage, +3 is probably a fair stopping point, maybe +5 if you really want the higher end equipment. You need the upgrades for your staff.

For other classes, it depends. As a huntress, I’ll often stop at +11 or +13, depending on what level I found it at. Farming consumables and higher end equipment can be super fun! A +13 ring of wealth will provide +7 armor and weapons, which can easily be game winners. The higher level also will provide several scrolls of transmutation that I often use after dwarf king to get the ring that I want.

I’m honestly working on this challenge now. It requires changing your strategy from reducing damage via armor upgrades to avoiding damage at all costs. Avoiding damage is really hard to do, but increasing evasion by using cloth/leather armor and/or ring of evasion helps.

My successes with this one have been with mage and huntress. Both allow you to create a build with high damage at range, minimizing the chances to get hit. The rogue’s free runner class is also a good option.

And then finish this room, killing and looting as necessary.

Badder bosses and swarm intelligence

A lot of times the monsters will follow your movements, even if there is a quicker path to attack you!

Also. Yes flying enemies won’t trigger the plants by their movement. However, if they are over a plant, you can throw an item onto that tile to activate the plant. For example, if the bat is over a tile with a firebloom plant and you through some armor at the bat, the armor will not harm the bat but fall onto the plant, activating the firebloom seed and catching the bat on fire. I don’t do this often, but it can be useful.

It’s hard to anticipate the movements of enemies to use seeds effectively. I always throw a seed where I believe the enemy will go next. Throwing a seed at the tile where the enemy is now will not activate the effect and will allow them to safely move on. If you throw it where they will move to next turn, when they move into that tile, the seed effect will activate.

My favorite offensive uses for seeds are poison (sorrowmoss) and fire (firebloom) to directly attack an enemy, or use stormvine seed to cause vertigo on a tile right next to chasms where they can fall thought. Using stormvine to kill a tough enemy in one hit is always satisfying.

Really excited for this trinket! Can’t wait to play Warden with it. Honestly love the trinket idea in general.
