I think this adds a lot of interest to the game. One of my favorite parts of Gloomhaven is the amount of characters.

Why you should retire (in a reasonable amount of time) That being said if you are really committed to retiring, or not retiring you should be able to make it happen. Frequently they are very easy or very hard to complete which means in some cases deciding whether to retire or not is somewhat out of your hands.

Personal quests in Gloomhaven are a bit all over the place. Retiring and changing characters is what keeps the game interesting for the long term and it will allow you to play Gloomhaven, and enjoy it, for an extended period of time.īefore I launch into the pros and cons of retiring, I would like to discuss personal quests. Retiring allows you to try other characters and also let other people play those characters. Should You Retire in Gloomhaven? Yes you should definitely retire in Gloomhaven, but sometimes you might want to play certain classes longer. There are quite a few factors in determining the optimal time to retire based upon your own personal preferences and your group preferences. Sometimes characters were retired quickly and other times we stayed with certain characters for longer. And once Backup Ammunition is spent, then I went for AoEs - including the loss card one.Retiring in Gloomhaven was often discussed in my weekly Sunday night game. I am having trouble with capturing my screenshots at the moment due to some Steam glitch, but Tinkerer did almost the same total damage as Cragheart in my game and he actually killed more enemies than Cragheart! Now I am interested in recruiting them again to see how they compare from levels 4-6 or so, in contrast to levels 1-3.įor future reference: What damage-related cards should be my staple for levels 1-3? I used Backup Ammunition first and then spammed a lot of single target ranged attacks. You only need to look how badly Music Note comes on stats, despite contributing enormously to CC, damage mitigation by curses and often inflicting wound on every enemy that chips away a significant fraction of the mission's total damage. To be fair the raw numbers are singularly unhelpful. So at level 2, on +2, you're looking at the cumulative health of placed enemies of level 4, and then sharing it based on how rapidly characters deal damage, which is affected by things like the proportion of turns they spend CCing, healing or using support abilities. In most cases the amount of damage you do is the amount of health the enemies have (plus a modicum of overkill). Originally posted by Lampros:At levels 1-3? I can't imagine doing that much damage at low levels with any character. Stuns, returning stamina potions, returning cards, providing damage buffs. His damage is poor, but he has everything else.

Plus all the characters had *huge* amounts of gas left in the tank:Ī fair amount of that is Tinkerer related. To be fair to Tink and Spellweaver they are slightly lower level than the Cragheart and Summoner.

This is the result of my last mission, which coincidentally features both: Then there's the fact you can only replace a maximum of two thirds of your deck by level 9, where some classes can replace every card but one, so again you feel like you're (and in fact are) progressing slower.

This is made worse, if he's your only character, by his poor xp generation which will make you feel like you're not progressing and falling behind, even though it's a net boon for the team by lowering enemy difficulty to compensate. So many of his cards only work if allies place themselves to *your* convenience, which they won't do if they don't know what actions you're going to take. One of the things I would say is that playing a team where Tinkerer is one character you control is *very* different from playing one character and not knowing what your allies are going to do. There's no way he'll ever match a Cragheart in damage though. I personally think the Tinkerer is a lot better than he gets credit for.
