Totally agree with the level one selection is the best. Ride the wind I would actually recommend new players to use in their very first scenario. I think it is a good card for brand new players to try to get a grasp about what it can do
Deck management is key. I love the damage output and off-heals. Only level 3, but I am digging the class. My deck build was only 1 card different than your advice. (So far) Fun game. I started with JOTL, but we bought Gloomhaven. It can get tricky. I'd love your thoughts on a 2 party as far as efficiency goes (we usually run three)
Looking forward to this series. I've just retired my first hero, and am part way through the first scenario as Sawbones, and levelling up a character four times without having played them at all is hard!
excellent breakdown of the spellweaver. I send these out to new players that join our games. You should get a Patreon. I'm sure a lot of us would support you that way
Your content quality is so high! Well thought out and scripted :) I rarely sub, but after watching hours upon hours of your gloomhaven content i want to see what you come up with next :)
This is exactly my hand at level 2, reaching level 3 now and trying to think what to remove to add cold fire. Probably Frost armor but the low initiative is tempting
Great video. I'm looking forward to your min/max vid on the spell weaver. I agree that inferno is perhaps the best card in the game. I say that reluctantly as the music note is by far my favorite clrss to play.
They ended up fixing the problems with rolling modifier's and Advantage in the digital version. Nice quality of life so you can now use rolling modifier's again.
@@neuralnetgames6540 IE: I'm current going back to rewatch a video after getting to level 4 on '3 spears' Going to his timestamp where he talks exactly about those cards made it easy to rewatch.
Hey, James! Just ideas for future videos - Classes who can tank and their builds, Best support classes. BTW, playing GH Digital currently and I like Summoner so much. Before that never played this class.
Summoner definitely much easier on digital as you don't have to manage all of the summons! Really powerful class! It got a bad rap but it's actually really good!
thanks so much! Honestly I am not sure. I have flip flopped so many times I can't even count. I don't want to accidentally spoiler it for people and it can be really easy to have a video auto play and then bam it's spoiled
Is there a guide on how to use the attach modifier cards that belong to the spellweaver. I have ones with element symbols in the middle and am not sure how to use them.
I never considered Hardened Spikes and I also never needed it at all either. Management is everything and Ride the Wind does better then Hardened, even as a burner. Also Initiative and Movement is highly overrated at the Spell weaver. What you need at level two is getting Ice and Fire, so Icy Blast is great. Especially because you have to pick Cold Fire at Level three and you will need Ice very often (as you said yourself when talking about it).
Icy Blast is also good, cause you hit more enemy's and you can recycle it easy. Also the ice generation is very important, cause in my group another character also needs ice and it will make some nice combo. Deal some damage muddle than, and than you could even do more damage with that ice. So i ask him do you eventually need ice/specific element in the next turn? (it doesn't say what i want to do, but he knows, i will play my icy blast) Healing yourself and your allies 2 times in a scenario is good, it basicly heals for 12 if you want to go with that. Also you can make you're icy blast attack even more stronger via given then +1 more attack damage and advantage with googles(the advantage could also be reused after long resting). You also say if you can generate ice at lvl 3 you dominate at this level. Which say's to me play icy blast and then cold fire so another good combo and with the right potion you can generate fire before that turn as well. which makes Attack 2 Muddle on 3-4 enemies, than Attack 3+Stun+(optional: potion gives me 1 Attack/googles for advantage) on the next turn. Tell me, is this bad? No it's pretty good for this class). Don't here to anyone how is saying icy blast is bad, it's actually pretty insane for what it does.
Icy blast is good in some builds for sure, but I had to make a choice and I think for this particular build Flashing Burst works better! Thanks for watching!
I dont understand why you would haveto wait using twin restoration untill after reviving ether? If you use twin resto early you get it back with rev ether and can then get rev ether back once again. Whats the problem?
Twin restoration is burned permanently when used, thus cannot be restored by Reviving Aether. So better to burn it in a long rest first and use it for its top action after you've Aethered.
The "I don't want to lose fire orbs I'll draw another. OH NO NOT REVIVING ETHER" literally happened to me last night on the app. First rest also. Luckily it was an easy scenario and I made it though, barely.
Come and watch me play Magic The Gathering: Arena!! The BEST decks to beat the meta!! th-cam.com/channels/XFLYWi1sEIbgSb-kYvssJg.html
Awesome Spellweaver enhancements: Strengthen on bottom of Mana Bolt, Any Element on bottom of Reviving Ether. You're welcome. :-)

Looking forward to seeing this vid in it's entirety when I have more time. Thanks for the content.
Back from vacation so sorry for the late reply! Always appreciate you watching and participating in the channel Kenny!
Never played Spellweaver. 🤔 Now I’m thinking.
Keep these guides/builds videos coming! 👍
Will do, and always appreciate you watching and all of the nice comments!!
I enjoyed your guide. I have to say that I rather like Frost Armour. It gives you a bit of tackiness and gives you two to four xp per scenario.
Looking forward to this series. I've just retired my first hero, and am part way through the first scenario as Sawbones, and levelling up a character four times without having played them at all is hard!
Totally! Takes a little while to understand how the class plays
Dang, I’m pumped to try this class out. Just got to finish JoTL to start the real deal.

Thanks, that is greatly appreciated Todd! I am working on a Patreon right now!! maybe done in the next week or two
Appreciate it, man! I'm new and playing the spell weaver.
Your content quality is so high! Well thought out and scripted :)

Thanks so much, that really means a lot to me!! Back from vacation now so content will be coming out fast for awhile!!
I like to pop frost armor and reviving either on the same turn. May as way tank up a bit before i start cackling line a madman

ya at some point I am going to do a card ranking just haven't got to it yet and then I will have to actually commit lol
Thanks, just started playing digital and theres a lot to digest.
No problem happy to be helpful!
I am surprised to see Flashing Burst in your final Deck. I have never used it.
They ended up fixing the problems with rolling modifier's and Advantage in the digital version. Nice quality of life so you can now use rolling modifier's again.
Great video! The Spellweaver is one of my favorites!
Was this your official name reveal??
hmmm lol maybe it was! Wasn't really even planned just sort of came out!
Great guide!
A timstamp list similar to mandatory quest would be great!
Hearing that a lot lately so will probably incorporate as soon as I can get caught up!

You say frozen night here but you wrote "Level 7: Engulfed In Flames (Level 5 card) replaces Chromatic Explosion" on your website. Which is it?
Level 9 Spellweaver is the solution to Scenario 72. I did over 100 damage in one turn with help from items and 3 Spears buff.
lol yep that will definitely work
Nice video 👍

Teach a retaliate build, please.
Here ya go! th-cam.com/video/nLN6LnfvGO0/w-d-xo.html
I just restarted and i averaged 2 damage the two scenerios i played. I drew so many negatives and misses
lol ouch
@@neuralnetgames6540 it was a bad two games.
The "I don't want to lose fire orbs I'll draw another. OH NO NOT REVIVING ETHER" literally happened to me last night on the app. First rest also. Luckily it was an easy scenario and I made it though, barely.
hahaha yep it hurts
how come you can take two level 6?
You can always go back and take another lower level card as you level up!
Thr bottom of Inferno is also stupid. Repeatable entire party
2 range 3 retaliate on initiative 19. Just dumb.
