Warmage Di. Vigne

Oh, and if you want something else fun and cheesy, check out what the 20% splash damage mod does in conjunction with her Spellpower. You may as well be hitting twice for full damage!

Cutting Flow stacks on shuffling wouldn't really do anything to a Viruspell deck or effective Kunai deck because their entire thing is making absurd quantities of spells. What it would do is hurt the intended use case of small, selective decks that focus on less buy-in-bulk zero-cost spells, since those find themselves shuffling often. Finding some in-battle penalty that scales with deck size may be more appropriate. (Perhaps Slow on self while having more than 20 spells would be an effective deterrent?)

Also, yeah, I know she's a little, or a lot, broken. So is base Di. Vigne, really. One of her loadouts gives her Bouncing Blade as a weapon, which trivializes most combats on its own. So I don't think Warmage is especially out of line? But then, I haven't tested with later loops, so it might be that she ramps up in a way that ultimately does in fact outcompete that loadout's immediate power in terms of her ability to survive bosses on later loops.

So, I've done some more testing with her, and I feel like Cantrips 202 is going to need a nerf. Badly.

The main cause is its interactions with Kunai or Viruspell, which are both 0 mana spells that are easy to get in bulk. Viruspell is notable for being able to get Flow mods alongside its spamminess. When you get either going, you'll have terrifying Flow (and thus spellpower) generation, leading to catastrophically powerful Minnie Gun, ZigZag, Diag Shot, or, my favorite, Sunshine. Imagine if you will a Sunshine that does 30-40 damage per hit.

You may need to take a page from Mother and have it cut your Flow stacks on shuffling, possibly even fully dumping all stacks.

Yep, confirmed it's fixed on my end. Thanks for the update!

Okay, that should both fix it and avoid further such problems long-term.
Thanks for letting me know!

oh! I'll… have to look into that. Sorry for not spotting this earlier!

Fun loadout. Unfortunately, the new update to the base character has a new loadout that seems to override this one now.
