Snarbie is having performance jitters with so many knights awaiting his arrival. There was even a Magnus sighting.

... Actually surprised that the new shield has decent defenses. The 2* version has pretty much the same stats at the Defender, except for the +sword damage. Dunno about any higher-tier versions, because the Basil at D23 had nothing.

@Iceni: Shield bonus is sword

@Iceni:

Shield bonus is sword only. Useless to gunners.

If it applied the bonus to gunners too I'd be pretty happy, but no.

Also, no, gunners don't have an advantage. Every gunner I know is wearing Nameless armor for the elemental resist. You know, the armor that exactly mirrors what bomb users and sword users get except that they both get fire resist and we get none? Yeah, that stuff.

So tired of getting the shaft from Three Ring because of the style of play I prefer...

This boss is incredibly cool.
The ambiance of the levels and the boss itself are steps towards a direction I really like.
I hope the future content will build on mechanics that emphasize teamplay.

Sing it, brother. Three Rings have had it out for the gunners since day one; their entire plan is to bring the gun man down.

A+

Just did a Snarbolax run with a friend and had a great time. The new levels are nicely designed, and the fleeting glimpses of the dread beast are wonderful at raising the tension in the runup to the final confrontation. We were both like "Oh god, did you see that? D:" throughout the Gloaming Wildwoods.

Good work, devs! :D

I love the levels! The Snarbolax made me jump and yelp a few times because I was not expecting it to charge out of nowhere. I did like it's boss fight immensely. Nice strategy! Thank you very much devs! This was quite fun! And STORY STUFF! Makes me happy to see that.

For future reference, who was the primary designer of this boss? Was it Ian (I am unsure if he is still in your employ)? If so, I would like to shake his hand. Well, not literally.

... Okay, that was a lie. If I could, I would. He and Tyson Hesse were the reason I got into drawing in the first place so many years ago.

Great fight. About as tough

Great fight. About as tough on blast bombs as jelly is on guns, in lou of infinite minions getting in the way of shots the bell mechanic makes it kinda hard to place a bomb that doesn't go off early and knock him away from the bell range but if you wait too long you only get off maybe one hit before his shadows are back up. Also not the crown bump we coulda hoped for new players but you only need to run it 3-4 times (10tokens) to get one of the new pieces of gear so between that and cheap AH UV ragecrafts getting out of t1 should go faster then ever. Looked great, even if it's just normal grass platforms under dark graveyardish lighting, the twisting trees and pre-fight sightings of snorby make for a great presentation. Good jorb.

OhmygodIlovehim.

The ambiance around the Gloaming Wildwoods is just great - haunted heart of the deep forest, complete with occasional glimpses of the beast who has earned the territorial rights.

The wolf bells are fun mechanics, and Snarby's just the proper amount of threat.
I imagine if I had only tier 1 or 2 gear, or anyone else in my party, he might be slightly more difficult than he is now, which is perfect.

Either way it's oodles of fun and definitely inspires hope in the game.
I can't wait to test out his gear!

So far I've killed him twice.

So far I've killed him twice. He's really fun, but he's really easy. Though, there's the problem in that my teammates don't understand how conditional invincibility works. *sigh*
