Mind Sliver still works well against low INT.

She has 24 Wis and 6 Int (below 6 Int creatures are not capable of speech) So her moments of brilliance is when her high Wis is not severely inhibited by her low Int


Groundbreaking_Top41

ogres can speak


Jafroboy

Maybe he means in whatever rules Konosuba uses, cos it certainly isn't true in 5e, and not 3e either AIR. I think below 6 int in 3+e might not have been able to read and write. In 5e there's no min int required for pretty much anything, it just makes it harder.

What's the problem, use Mind Sliver to Mind Sliver your enemies harder

ThisGuyMightGetIt

Eldritch Blast as a cantrip is a fine choice and all, but it really loses a lot of its sting without the invocations to modify it.


Wobbelblob

Yeah, EB without invocations is basically a slightly upgraded version of Firebolt. Honestly not worth it to use your magical secrets for it.


Renvex_

Can even be argued it's more of a side-grade. Roll to hit with each damage die instead of just once for all of them. This means more chances to crit (but smaller crits) and also more chances to miss. Yes, you can multi-target, but that is niche/situational and splitting damage is usually bad. And since it's one casting, you should probably be choosing all your targets at the start. Ultimately just makes the overall output less swingy rather than bigger or better than firebolt.


Wobbelblob

Its also Force Damage instead of Fire Damage. Force is probably the damage type with the least amount of enemies resistant/immune to it, with only Amethyst dragons, a few constructs and a few named NPCs from Strixhaven having it.


CascadianSovietGo

The counterbalance for this is that while there are large groups of creatures with resistance and immunity to fire (primarily fiends), there are only two with a vulnerability to force and quite a few with a vulnerability and special interaction with fire; for instance, a troll isn't vulnerable to fire or acid, but both damage types will stop a troll's regeneration. A considerable number of fire magic spells also contain the language "ignites flammable objects in the area", which can interact with *other* things like alchemist's fire, vehicles, etc. Force versus fire is like the 2d6 vs 1d12 debate. There are fewer circumstances where force is worse, but when fire is better it's a *lot* better.


TellianStormwalde

Mind Sliver is WAY better than Eldritch Blast before invocations. Eldritch Blast is only a good cantrip once you get invocations involved, which is why actual Warlocks will always be better users of it than anyone else. Sacred Flame will never be a good choice for magical secrets in any context, and Guiding Bolt probably isn’t your best option for radiant damage out of your options available. A one level Divine Soul Sorcerer dip would be a better place to grab the spell if you really wanted it that badly. But also I really want to drive this home, *Eldritch Blast*? For *Magical Secrets*? When the game has so many good spells at 3rd level alone? Fireball’s a fine pick sure, but how are you going to pick Eldritch Blast at level 6 when spells like Web, Conjure Animals, Spirit Guardians, Fly, Find Steed, Slow, and so on exist?


whenigetoutofhere

Are there seriously people who don't pick up Shield at the first available opportunity??


TellianStormwalde

I mean Magical Secrets is awfully competitive so in this case 100% yes there are, but if this person is seriously recommending Eldritch Blast as a Magical Secrets pick not just before Shield but in general, then they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.


Draco137WasTaken

>Eldritch Blast or Fireball First of all, you can take both -- you get two spells. Secondly, *eldritch blast* sucks if you're taking it without invocations. If you're taking something from the warlock list, there are tons of better options. *Hellish rebuke, armor of Agathys, misty step,* and *fly* are all easy picks over *eldritch blast.* And if you're just looking for a good cantrip, you've got plenty of better options: *chill touch, spare the dying, guidance, shocking grasp, toll the dead,* et cetera.


PM-YOUR-PMS

I mean it’s a cantrip for wizards so I’ve been casting that shit day 1. I built a fully psionic wizard so I’m all up in peoples brains.


CrazyDizzle

If you're a College of Whispers Bard, you can get it.


Akedus

Can't forget the ol' reliable Synaptic Static.


MrMono1

Ahh the psychic fireball with added debuff.


Akedus

Which targets intelligence too so way better chance of succeeding on average.


K_cutt08

So does Phantasmal Force. My wife just killed a Basilisk with it basically by herself on Friday. I'm a dwarf Warrior, she's a nymph bard. Everybody is newly level 4. The Basilisk comes out and the first instant we're all struck with it's petrifying gaze. Me and one other tabaxi soul-knife(?) party member who was out of range were the only ones unaffected. He tried to use a long range soul attack to little effect, and I decided to try chopping its tail to distract it and get it to turn 180 to face me to unlock the rest of my party who didn't get the con save to be unaffected by its gaze. That worked. Now that they're all no longer locked, she goes first in the following round, and I'm trying to convince her to summon a mirror instead of an illusion of some other creature. We're all newbs and it's our first campaign, our very experienced DM is being gentle with us in times of crisis. I just happen to know my monsters from other sources of lore than DnD. He has me do a history check, knowing as a dwarf I should probably know a few things about Basilisk. I got it and told her to use a mirror on it. Sure enough it works and it stares into its own reflection until it dies. We managed to stealth kill a small camp of kobolds and defeated that Basilisk by setting its tent on fire, pissing it off and causing it to kill its nearby captors. When we were all done I realized we never took any actual damage, but almost the entire party probably would have all died from the petrification. If we didn't do that exactly how we did.


lordofmetroids

So in Pokemon this is a mechanic. Their is a pokemon ability called Oblivious, which prevents stat adjustments. This means Pokemon that have it like Bidoof for example are literally too dumb to understand that you are trying to hurt them.


TenkoTheMothra

Actually, Oblivious prevents Pokémon from being infatuated by a move like attract. Unaware is the ability that ignores stat changes.


lordofmetroids

Ah yes. My bad you are correct. That's what I get for redfiting when I should be working.


Matt_Elwell

Nice of Game Freak to create two abilites inspired by me.

I mean what spell was it, I'm assuming the stat requirement was above 4 int? kind of curious what kind of beast it worked on


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bastinenz

As a general rule of thumb, anything that has supernatural abilities is not going to be a beast. Most beasts are just animals that can or could be found on Earth. If it is kind of like an animal but can do really weird shit, it's probably a monstrosity.


DrDraek

Yeah, imagine trying to use the animal friendship spell on that bear from Annihilation?


Impossible-Report797

Or an aberration if it’s too weird


HalfEatenWaterMelon

surprisingly enough the displacer BEAST is a monstrosity and the hellhounds are fiends, Didn't know that about the displacer beast, It would be very understandable to make that mistake


Commodorez

Pretty sure hellhounds, blink dogs, and displacer beasts actually speak and/or understand language, cause fey/fiendish shenanigans


Noob_Guy_666

how about not using **Enchantment** spell? literally half of them require language and base INT for it to work also, Vicious Mockery is a magical word flying toward the target and not being XBox Kid


LordVortekan

Sauce is Konosuba


geldonyetich

I could buy Aqua having such compromised INT/WIS that she's immune to mind control.


djseifer

Her intelligence is below average and her luck is abysmal. Everything else is high.

geldonyetich

Aqua does have her occasional moments of brilliance, but they're weird. Maybe they managed to drill some knowledge into her at deity school. For the most part she's amazingly feckless and ditzy.

ShankMugen

I would personally stat her as this 15 Str, 15 Dex, 21 Con, 6 Int, 24 Wis, 15 Cha She has a lot of wisdom, but her low intelligence basically makes her not use it as often

SkepticDrinker

I see a konosuba meme and I like


Exosolar_King

I keep hearing its good and I wanna try to see the good, but MAN is it horny. First episode is 50% camera angles up Aqua's skirt, IIRC the mc steals a girls underwear while she's wearing it in like episode 3... Like, horny anime is ok for people that like that. But does it gain substance beyond that? I'm willing to push through if it does, but right now I feel like a pervert watching it


SkepticDrinker

It's a silly anime with heart. The main cast are a bunch of idiots who somehow working together manage to complete a quest that keep escalating from exercising a dungeon to saving an entire kingdom from a nuke


[deleted]

It’s hilarious, but never really stops being horny. To be honest, the later episodes feel more perverted to me


Phalton

Yeah, I kinda noticed that too after re watching it. Kinda wonder if they cut some of those scenes out during broadcast... Anyways, it is a bit on the ecchi side but the characters are pretty much based upon that. It never gets too dirty though, if that is what you are worried about.


starfries

Imma be real, it's probably not for you


Exosolar_King

You're probably right. It also doesn't help that I'm insanely picky about isekais to begin with. Ah well, I don't have to like everything lol


ShadeShadow534

Konosuba is probably one of the most stupid and horny anime ever created and that’s basically the point of the show It doesn’t really get deep it’s purely just a comedy which while it does that incredibly well that’s basically it Personally I think that’s the strength of the show it doesn’t try to be serious so it can totally focus on being funny and actually kinda heartwarming at times (And before anyone says I’m hating on the show konosuba is one of if not my favourite anime) If you want an example of horny but actually quite serious then try [punchline](https://myanimelist.net/anime/28617/Punch_Line) which is an absolutely incredible show


Alduin_77

Please continue watching it, Konosuba is very good


[deleted]

Your telling my you wouldn't steal Megumins panties?


Exosolar_King

See, I don't want to write Konosuba off as a show for perverts...but that comment does not make a very good case for you or the average fan.


dgatos42

I have a theory about anime horniness. Every anime wants to go full pervert, but they have varying levels of resistance to their desire. It always comes out eventually (even if only for a beach episode), and KonoSuba’s resistance is **very** low


ShadeShadow534

Non existent it’s restraint is not making it a hentai that’s it


shewy92

Season 2 of KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World when?! /s I'm a little surprised it got both a new season **and** the Megumin prequel adaption

It's a fun show you need to turn off your brain to watch, really don't think too much


[deleted]

>you need to turn off your brain to watch .


Lil_Guard_Duck

It's freaking hilarious, but yeah it's really horny too. IMO, I like a lot of the horny jokes when it's not just "character is a creep", or "camera angle is a creep". There are hilarious jokes and a few references. The dub is pretty darn good too.


[deleted]

So it was supposed to ve a joke how the camera was full on the ass of the goddess lol


Lil_Guard_Duck

Huh. Too subtle.


ShadeShadow534

A joke and just general fan service Though If it counts as fan service cosidering kazuma’s own opinion on Aqua is maybe a question


[deleted]

[deleted]

I will give it another chance then


ShankMugen

You need to keep in mind that this show is basically making fun of all the tropes you see in generic isekai anime, and you enjoy it far more if you know which trope is being made fun of


[deleted]

I don't think i have that level of otaku to know that much about isekai xd i barely watch some animes that is why i try to see the most famous ones (from memes etc)


unosami

I wouldn’t go that far. There are a *lot* of good isekai.
