Umbra can't clear backrow well until it gets Mine Collapse or Antumbra assault. but even then Architect is better because lvl 3 architect puts a fat 100 beater at no space cost - that works amazing with everyone with zero setup and zero cards you have to dedicate to morsels or morsel creation.įurther - this is what is most important - Monstrous makes up for things that Umbra sucks at. ![]() You could take this path, in theory, when stacking with units from your subclass. Feeding him morsels all game takes a lot and steals resources from all of Umbra's other good units (which are Gorgers). While it can ever be strong, what you're mentioning here - it's not good/not strong often enough to be a strategy that's going to consistently lead to victories. Not hating but do you play C25? Being able to kill Gilded Wing turn 7 is wayyy wayyy wayyyy too slow. Not over Architect, but Monstrous is such an awkward little duckling so often. Two free morsels a turn means you're going to always be feeding.Ībandoned Antumbra - Half as good as Shadelamp is still fine for Gluttonous.īasically, next time you play Umbra primary, try checking the artifacts, and if you take one of those, give Gluttonous a shot. By the time the first wave gets to your floor you can easily have 8-12 Gorge effects and be sitting at 106 attack or higher. Take the chart above and halve it - Gluttonous passes monsterous by 3/6/8 morsels. This will make Gluttonous MUCH better than Monstrous rapidly. How do you do that? One of the following artifacts:įossilized Fangs - the best possible starting artifact. If you can feed it 3 morsels, that's 92 attack. ![]() That means it should be at least 68 attack before it gets anything to kill. But if you put it on the top floor, you get a 2 turn head start. That means if you feed it 2 per turn, it's killing Gilded Wings by turn 7 if you can keep it fed - possibly sooner depending on how many attack boosters you feed it. So why would you justify force feeding this thing 15 morsels before it catches up with Monstrous? Well, it only takes 3 floor space. And how.Īpproximate break even Monsterous vs. Sure, this is where Architect shines, but Gluttonous does something very important. If you're playing them with a faction like Awoken or MR, you might not want to give everything to Umbra. See, Umbra is normally very swingy and demands a lot of floors. But comparing Monstrous to Gluttonous, there's a really important thing left out - you don't need to get a floor boost if you don't want to. The ability to create a back line attacker that doesn't take space and boasts truly ridiculous power is easily the best late game Penumbra. Now in defending it, it should be noted Architect is still almost certainly king. ![]() Compared to Architect (100 power, -1 size attacker) or Monstrous (170/100 Trampler) a 20/20 that happens to get a big stat boost is not that incredible. No stat boosts (no better than Architect), incredible early fragility, and a constant resource sink. So one thing I see floated a lot is that Gluttonous is the worst Penumbra by far.
