Sparks and Recreation

On this episode of Sparks & Rec, join DblDubz and Filtrophobe with special guest Tuff as we take a dive into the first level 16 build lab for one of the Dungeons classes – necromancer! Tuff’s recent article on the class provides the framework for the discussion and Filtrophobe’s new article on getting into level 16 PvP is also a point of conversation. Both will be linked below. Listeners will get a chance to analyze some board states with the crew during a WWYD and a LFL. And of course, we touch on community events before scrapping, tapping, and saying goodbye. We hope you enjoy the show!WWYD: 6:03Looking for Lethal: 23:04Mailbag: 30:59Filtro PvP article: 1:17:34Necro Build Lab: 1:23:08Community Round-up: 2:09:47Taps, Scraps, Outro: 2:13:13Bone Dancing to Diamond; A Necro’s Journey: https://www.realmsrising.com/strats/characters/necromancer/bone-dancing-to-diamond-a-necros-journey-levels-1-16/Five Builds to Get Started in PvP, Ancestry Edition: https://www.realmsrising.com/strats/five-builds-to-get-started-in-pvp-ancestry-edition/Hero Realms is a fantasy-themed expandable deckbuilding game from Wise Wizard Games.Hosts: Chris "DblDubz" Walberg, John "Tuff" LabellaProducer: Chris WalbergHero Helper: https://hero-helper.com/Realms Rising: https://www.realmsrising.comYou can find the WWYD screenshots for this episode here: https://www.realmsrising.com/podcast/the-jam-packed-journeys-jamboree/Patreon: https://patreon.com/sparksandrecHyperGeometric Calculator: https://aetherhub.com/Apps/HyperGeometricCommunity Tournaments & Events Primer (+ signup links): https://www.realmsrising.com/community-events/Realms Rising Discord: https://discord.gg/8pTxKqzFDcSupport Sparks & Rec: https://hero-helper.com/support-usSparks & Recreation Website: https://www.realmsrising.com/sparks-and-recreation/Thank you so much to Level 12 Hero Sarah T., Warden Slayer, as well as Level 7 Hero Nudeltulpe!Specific songs used in this episode were:Intro/Outro Music: "Uplifting Orchestra Pack" by GoodBunny.

The Hero Realms digital app offers players the chance to design and code their own custom scripts. One player went so far as to design their own set from the ground up. That player is Userkaffe and he is here to tell us all about his experience in designing and developing this fantastically flavorful and interactive set, filled with synergies– some subtle and some bold! There are some extra links that are super important this week. First is how to actually play these sort of games yourself within the app:WWYD (Industrialization Edition): 3:49 Getting to know Userkaffe: 16:09 Industrialization Design and Development Interview: 42:42 Card Talk (Industrialization Edition): 1:56:06 Community Round-up: 2:15:25 Taps, Scraps, Outro: 2:23:50 (edited)https://www.realmsrising.com/lua/hero-realms-lua-play-at-home-edition/ Check out this card gallery to see all the cards in the Industrialization set: https://imgur.com/a/card-list-hr-industrialization-mod-ZwgxxNy Up next is the main WWG page on Lua Scripting in Hero Realms: https://www.herorealms.com/luascripting/ And if you’re interested in making your own Lua Scripts, there is no better resource than WardenSlayer’s Lua Lessons: https://www.realmsrising.com/lua/warden-slayers-lua-lessons/ Of course the Realms Rising Discord also has channels dedicated to these Custom Games so be sure to head there with any questions.

With the recent retail release of the Journeys expansion, a swath of segments make their return in this episode as the crew of Filtrophobe and DblDubz take the SS Sparks & Rec out to the high seas. Killer combos? We’ve got ‘em. Build Lab on Wizard? Check. Build Lab on Fighter? Also check. The Journeys content doesn’t stop there as the Mailbag contains questions about favorite cards from the set as well as which of the 11 classes feature two viable, distinct builds. There’s also quite a bit to catch up on in the community before bringing the ship to port and saying goodbye.

The two man crew of Filtrophobe and DblDubz welcome a brand new guest for the third consecutive episode -- none other than Aarkenell. With the level 24 testing running for a few weeks now, he is on hand to share his experience thanks to the hundreds of arena games under his belt. We start off examining the original 5 classes before blitzing through the beta ones as well. WWYD makes its triumphant return and we also get to know a bit about Aarkenell.
