In RPG character building, effective strategies involve balancing offensive capabilities with defensive mechanics; the Strength Spear Hilda build demonstrates how early acquisition of abilities like 'elusive' and strategic use of block power (reaching 50 with 50% chance for 32 block power next turn) combined with healing efficiency management creates a resilient combat approach, while understanding enemy patterns and resource management (food, healing supplies) is essential for survival in challenging environments.

Ep 8 Time to Bleed! Strength Spear Hilda - Stoneshard Mods 2026Added:
Well, welcome back everybody. I'm Cert.
We're going to play some more Stone Shard with the strength spear Hilda build, which I think is going really well. I'm I'm actually really really enjoying this so far. And I'm really excited to see how this grows. Uh but we're out here still at the Rotten Willow end. We did one of our jobs, but let's go ahead and pick up another one.
Got any work for mercenary? Uh we're going to do the rumors of blood suckers.
Yeah, I think that one will be better.
Uh keep listening. What should I expect?
What's the reward? Please give me more.
One day 820. Perfect. What can you tell me about it? Deep trip and stagnant in the air. It's okay. We're going to bleed a lot.
Well, it's just going to be what it is, I guess. And um who's in charge?
They're plagued by strange genes as though someone was whispering blast semance into their ears until dawn. Who knows if it's connected? Okay. Uh I accept.
Don't think there's much else much else I want here cuz we're still not really like friends with him.
Maybe there's more than I thought. I don't know. We'll skip it for now, though. I actually made some food to bring with us. We should be pretty good.
And I did buy some more healing supplies, but I had to go back to the caravan to pick them up because I didn't have enough money on me to actually get them. So, I'll grab them and then we're going to go do west. Hey, that's not so bad. All right. I'll see you when we get out there.
All right. Well, here we are. walked out here rather uneventful, but I I did kill a man and he dropped a athletics three hook. Go figure. The like one build I don't really have any intention of going down this tree. I don't really think at all. Uh is the one where they I could get elusive like right away. Like we'd still be what? Six levels away, four levels away. I mean, I'd still be getting it really early. Uh that's that's kind of intense, but there we go.
Nice little surprise for me. Let's see.
No, not spears. Where are you?
Calculator. There you are. Um, actually, I do plan on getting elusive. That's good to know. Well, probably. It is a nice like defensive button. So, all right, whatever. But still, it's How often do you get that? That's nice. And it's expensive.
See here? What we got there? Not much.
Uh, okay.
Oh, nice. That's something I really do need. They weren't overselling him or anything, but more the better. I didn't have that much.
I did pick this up. I'll probably eat it.
We still got a while before I need to eat this. I'll probably eat it before we get to the second floor, though, just so I can have that nice buff.
All right. Where is everybody?
Uh, do I still need you? I actually don't. Okay.
Hey, look. Ah, slinger. Damn it.
I don't even care about that. Just get behind something so he can't sling you.
Not bleeding.
Stop. Stop doing that. Okay.
Kidding me. This This guy single-handedly is killing me.
Oh no, there's more. Okay, let's calm down. Another These slingers are outrageous. Uh, well, there's a free splint out here, so I guess we might as well use the one we have.
Serendipitous.
basically foreshadowing. Jeez.
Now we're getting much hungrier because we're resting.
Just stick right on up. All right. Nice.
Come over here. Yeah. You piece of poop.
No, it's not going to work.
There. Do that.
There. Kill him from afar. I had enough abilities that I could reach him far away. you.
What's my block up to? 30. I don't feel like I've blocked anything yet. No, we're not going to block projectiles cuz it's a weapon, but still.
That's annoying.
Yeah, I got abilities I can do from afar, too.
Lead.
Jeez, these people. Let's go ahead pop one those in my head again.
Yeah, we'll take that notification scroll. Maybe we'll need it. I'm not using it on that. But what we got in here?
Let's go ahead pry it. Hopefully. There we go.
Terrible flashbacks of nice uh crypt.
Break my damn thing. Eat you. Get some immunity.
It's not much, but I'm not going to cook anything down here. So, as well just take it for what it is.
Disenchantment. Uh, no thank you.
How much did you do? Five. I'll hold on to you.
You actually needed it. Good. This can't be right. Just blood.
Do not stand on that.
It's like a magnet.
Sure.
We'll come back for those crowns. Every step I take is another step I might just start bleeding everywhere. though.
Okay, not bad.
There's that strength coming through.
I don't I don't think I want that.
I don't see how that could possibly be enticing to somebody like me.
Another tier three book, my lord.
And a good one at that. Uh, this is broken and I think it's just a level two. I don't I don't want it. That's what I'm getting at. You on the other hand. I already repaired everything. So, I don't really have a use for you right now. Well, in my head kind of. Did I get the crap kicked out of my head? We'll use you though.
Slinging rocks in my head all day.
Take the silver. Sure.
Brother, I sent something. Yeah, I'm right here.
I missed him, but I blocked his. So, how could you see me? Oh, I was standing by the light.
Fair enough.
Well, I actually didn't want to push him away.
So, of course, that's all we're doing.
You, on the other hand, you can take a step back.
No, we'll leave you.
Searching for random traps. You know they're somewhere.
You don't know where they are. They're somewhere. All right. Enchantment. You have crit. Ah. It's not It's a really good thing, but it's not it's not what I want. I don't really care for these rings to be perfectly honest.
Shock. Okay.
There's some there's some bonuses to having magic damage on your weapon.
One, it's cool. We can watch people get electrified and die. too. When they do that, nobody can eat them.
It's kind of situational, but really nice when you need it. There is no eating of bodies when they've been turned to ash.
Keep messing up my order. There we go.
Using termination at the wrong time.
This guy. This guy's hanging in there.
Fumbled a bunch.
10. Yeah, my accuracy and fumble could still be better.
Folio, we've read.
Nothing new under the sun.
This guy, he's going to do some funky stuff.
Range.
Okay, so he's going to do two attacks before he stands next to me. That's what I want to know.
Of course, there's a slinger over there.
We want that. Come here. Actually, you know what? I'll come to you.
Knock you into that wardrobe all day.
A little bit of energy back.
This looks like the end of the line.
So used to just breaking down, but spear's not going to do a good job of that. off scraps. Actually, yes. Garlic might not be the worst idea. I don't have like any more vegetables at home other than lentils.
Be kind of a piece of leather, do I?
All right, let's try to organize this hot mess. Express jewels.
There's that. Sure, they can use you on something now. Five. Yeah, that's good.
You You do 10. Nope. Almost.
Nope. Okay.
All right. I got things I can ditch if I need to. I imagine we're going to get hungry soon. Yeah.
Actually, it might go perfectly with us going downstairs.
Maybe later.
Really do need that backpack. Should have got one when we were in Manshare.
Whoa.
Responge. Yes, please. Also meant to get the date stew recipe when we were on Osbbor. Forgot about that. It's a real shame. Real shame. You hate to see it.
You can stand back all day.
Got staggered.
stackered again. Now I'm bleeding, of course.
Ooh, that's rough.
Okay, did knock. Oh, I have regrouped all the way back there.
I kind of forgot about regroup positions. Max block power reduces cooldowns.
Activates block each cool down reduced. Okay, let's try you out, bud. Blocks back up.
up to 50 with a 50% chance getting 32 block power next turn. Let's go. Look there. There it is.
Okay. Didn't block that one. It's a 50%, not 100%. Give him a break.
God, I hate this guy. That decrease of healing efficiency is a real kick in the nards. Let's uh eat that. Sleep a bit.
Assuming there's nobody else here to kick the crap out of me. Sure.
Definitely happy to see that. We're barely even healing.
Somebody hear me? Oh, yeah. You sure did.
And your friend. Let's come upstairs, guy.
There you are. H. Oh, he is against the wall. Nice. Perfect. Push him. No, push him in the wall.
Okay, great.
I'm bleeding. He's bleeding.
Nice.
All right.
Was that my last healing, Seth? No.
Okay. So, there should be more.
Yeah.
Just seeing if any of them increases my base healing.
This is taking a long time. We're just getting hungrier and thirstier.
We are not healing either.
And now we're bleeding again.
Abominations. All of you. Okay. I'm not fighting three of you. That just doesn't seem like a great idea.
One or two. Sure, we can talk.
There we go. Perfect.
Um, I don't think we could have tripped determination with him.
Oh, we pulled up all three. Damn. Okay.
do just as much damage as I can here.
Come on, step into it. Step into it, you piece of garbage counter chance. Nice.
You get blocked.
Oh, we'll just go with it.
I'm getting hungry again. Maybe we are just going to have to eat this onion.
I can't enter a fight with like too little health either.
All right. There's a nice trap there for me. Uh, close. Yeah.
Okay.
We'll just keep cheesing the stairs, I guess.
Let's Let's test this out.
Nope. Did not work. Didn't think it would.
We got to stand back.
I don't know why I did that. Okay, just getting crap kicked out of me for nothing.
I really don't like having this low health and no healing supplies.
This random bleed stuff sucks, too.
All right, let's put that. It's global.
I mean, move resistance doesn't need to be global, but There we go.
Now we got a nice bleed on him.
What's our knock back now that we got these stacks?
Very good. And that's how these fights were going to go in my head. Just just FYI.
A lot of knock back, a lot of black, and uh they didn't really do anything to me.
Well, it's intentions or something.
No, he's going to be a book back, but unless he dies. You might want that rag.
Just going to leech you. I know we're in pain, but I can't let this be my max health.
At least we're optimistic. I'm really surprised.
Um, yeah, actually, you just jumped on that list.
What is my pain? What are you doing?
Health replenishment.
Um, that might need to come down to it.
It's almost up there.
Rubarb, we can eat you and get rid of some hunger, too.
Then actually smoke that. Have a little bit of a toxic resistance for it.
And then bleed everywhere. You know, as you do.
That's a door.
Just push him to the wall. Stun him.
Okay, let's regroup back.
We go trunk.
Oh. Oh my god. Look at this. The best room I've ever seen.
Amazing.
Let's go ahead.
Are you looking? Actually, perfect. And then it's over 10. We'll call it good enough.
Actually, I meant to use you, too. There we go.
Uh, that's feeling a little bit better there. I got a little bit more room.
You know, you know, why not?
You know, why not?
healing efficiency, you say?
Oops. Did I just snort that? My bad. I don't know how you use that. I know you will make a snorting sound for the ones you do snort. So, maybe that's more of a drink. I don't know. Whatever it was, I accidentally just put it in my body.
Oopsy. Whoopsie.
This might be This is definitely boss room.
That's definitely boss.
There he is.
Oh yeah, this is the guy I didn't know what to do. Attacks grant battle range using abilities grants the caster and their vision.
caster and everybody in his vision for three turns.
Okay.
That's fine. You do your thing.
Not sure if they can see me places, but let's try it. Either they disarm it or they'll walk in it, but either way, they're coming.
Okay. Of course it wasn't the boss.
Stop.
There we go.
Yep. You already did this.
Burden of sin.
Okay, there goes my block chance and weapon damage. Luckily, I'm not fighting multiple people, right? So, there's that.
Just keep stacking that. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
Killing a minis reduces the number of stacks by three. Uh, well, he's bleeding.
What a time to regroup, I guess.
Now I'm tired.
The one guy didn't come.
Okay. Well, that's a thing. That thing happened. That was That's life now.
Okay.
Sure. Small casket. Very nice. Uh enchantment resistance. Garbage.
You know what? I'll I'll take the health now.
You know what? Why not?
I should have done that earlier. Okay, got the drugs. So, our healing efficiency is much better. You can tell there's that potion. God knows what it is, but I know how to find out cuz we have identification scroll. Fraileness makes you frail.
I love and hate how cryptic the descriptions on the potions are.
I could have put together that it makes you frail.
Hey, it's this guy.
I started bleeding. He didn't do like the electricity just shooting off of him.
All right. And for our troubles, a cape I can't use. Great. That's a tier four.
Nice.
It does nothing for me. and it's quite broken. This ring, on the other hand, does give me fatigue resistance. This necklace right here gives me accuracy and cool downs and energy cost, which is kind of everything I love. I'm not going to lie. I'm feeling that one.
It's open. There we go. Put you guys in there.
All right.
I don't have strong feelings one way or another about bringing this back. We could potentially sell it for some money, but I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it. You, on the other hand, it's kind of a big deal. You do things I like, but nothing amazing. You do things I like and everything amazing.
Move. This is pretty awful. I'm probably going to put this guy on you.
And I don't think you're going to really sell. So, same with you. All right.
Interesting. Well, we got some money and we got some upgrades.
Not bad.
I'm surprised the boss room was that way. I'm not going to lie.
I should be popping these. Just needs bleeding more and getting more hungry.
See, it is good experience though.
They fade.
Well, not that this hasn't been a blast, but let's try to finish what we started and, you know, leave.
What?
Girl, where's your stick? It's supposed to be tied to a post.
Hey, are you okay?
Well, I guess it's a good thing I didn't stand there. Jeez.
I don't I don't know what's real anymore. Must It's probably the drugs.
Okay, >> we can talk.
>> Sure. And then we'll use the last one on you.
Hello.
Uh kind of wish he didn't open that door, but okay.
That's one I can go through, but not the other one.
Got a spear. Don't you have any spear abilities?
Why aren't you using nail down?
Is he also affected by the corner? I wouldn't think so, but I surely have I only need one, right?
Okay.
Let's see.
I can go around the corner.
Yes, please.
Oh, tomato.
Okay, who was whispering in here? I swear I heard somebody whisper.
Maybe it was that guy's post. Um, let's see.
Just walk off the bleeding. The hospitals don't want you to know that, but you can just walk off your bleed.
Bleeding death. Take a walk.
No need for expensive medical bills.
Unless you don't live in America, then there's no need anyways, I guess.
Jokes's on you now. I hate those guys.
Still I have two splints. Okay, so a third would be right out.
Yeah, I will eat that actually.
Jokes on you. You thought it was just garbage and then I would pass it up.
Game. No. No.
It's a starving man's treasure right there.
It's a problem compared to picking it.
They will hear it. Also, it might take 20 turns.
Uh, that's a problem.
I don't know why it's not the ability I wanted you again. Okay, great. Let's um do that. Try to get my block back up.
Oh, there's more. Good.
push them into each other.
All right.
Well, that was ridiculous. Good thing we got these drugs to increase my healing efficiency. That's not even a joke.
Yeah, I know.
Look, guy, I know how you feel about food.
Kind kind of the same way. Nice. It's the same way I feel right now, too.
Okay. I'm trying. I'm eating practically everything I find.
Garlic's not going to make you happy.
You know that. I know that. Actually, morale's doing pretty decently.
Sure. Screw it.
I have seen people just straight up eat garlic. It's weird.
Unless that's your thing, which case it's totally normal.
Geommancy. Actually, don't think it's really that weird.
People do much weirder things than that.
>> Now, this is where the chanting was coming from. Gotcha.
>> I see.
>> Nobody heard that. And another healing splint there.
That's four people.
Expect him to charge me.
There we go. Get back.
Push him into his friend.
Uh, there's my level. Get back, you fiend.
Perfect.
Hey, let's talk about that level. Uh, we're going to points energy like my fable's still too high. Uh, this will help get it back down.
So, I'm happy for that. I don't think I want anything there. Got regroup, which is quite nice. What are you waiting for?
This one must have used strength then because we got it super early.
This one used agility which we could be having that right now then. Stay back is pretty freaking nice.
He's got warfare.
Setup is quite lovely.
We have two maneuvers too.
And if I remember correctly, and I'm rather positive, do let me double check. Yeah, we're coming right down here in the middle. Okay, that's that's what I thought.
Yeah, let's get set up then. I just don't think we're critting or countering enough for this. We are countering a decent amount with regroup, but I think this might be more useful for now.
It's at the end of this floor yet, please. Jeez, it wasn't big, but it just felt taxing.
They felt taxing. Let's go ahead and grab that.
Sweet lavender.
All right. So, I wouldn't suspect much up here still, you know, other than the bleeding.
See, we cleared that out. Potato. We cleared that out.
Uh, yeah, I actually think that is it.
Well, fair enough.
Yeah, I know you. I know you like to bleed. It's a strange fetish.
Well, these drugs are probably going to suck. Oh, please don't touch that.
We don't know where that sling's been.
Uh, but that's a that's a problem for 200 some turns from now to be perfectly honest.
For now, why don't we go turn this in to the correct place. To the correct place.
There we go. And uh just kind of go from there.
All right. Well, here we are. I actually went into the aftermath. I know different drugs do different aftermaths, but I kind of forget that sometimes cuz I usually only use like the same drugs.
Anyways, I kept falling asleep like every other turn. I spent most of my aftermath just around here sleeping. So, I was like, we can't cross the river. I will drown un for 100%. I will fall asleep in the river and drown. So, I was going to go across the bridge, but then I just slept so much in the field that my uh aftermath wore off. So, guess it's fine.
Charge around here. All right. About my contract. I'm all done. Please go tell your friends. Thousand crowns. Not bad.
I'm pretty happy with that.
And we got a fair amount of really cool treasure. So, we will try to safely make our way home now and probably call it cuz I I do need to keep episodes a little bit shorter. I keep saying that keeps not happening. Well, we'll go back and wrap things up.
Okay. Well, here we are back at camp. I did drop everything else. took a nice nap so we could get rid of our fatigue and everything. But honestly, I I left with more medical supplies than I came with, which was actually kind of cool.
So, next episode, we'll come down here.
We'll do our last job. Um, I was told that was bears. No, something bad.
Trolls, maybe. I think it was trolls.
Hilda was just like, "Hey, they're there." And I was like, "Uh, okay. Looks like it's going to be over here." So, we'll go in there, do that last one, and then I don't know what we're going to do because we're not going to have enough rep with Binn. I might explore a little bit. See if we can find some caves.
There's probably caves in the area. Uh but this next contract won't be enough.
Had I done these two in this one going going there, we we would have been fine. But I didn't. So, um we don't I guess. I don't know. Real bummer. But that's okay cuz I need to go back to Osbrook and uh Manshshire, I think both.
Anyways, plus it will give us some time to like get some loot and stuff and just kind of take it easy a little bit while we do things. But I want to see if there are any caves while we're out here because I think there's a good chance we find something.
Death stingers. Gross. Bears. I figured the one time I play Hilden and don't want bears. Uh, but there might be. So, we'll take a look. Regardless, we'll wrap things up. I want to thank everyone for coming by and being part of the series. I hope you guys are excited. I think with regroup, um, our block is starting to be meaningful. And as we put more points in their strength, I think it's going to just be more meaningful. I mean, as is, we'll put another 10 points into it. And that's another 15% block chance and 10 block power. So that will get us up to basically 40 and a chance of what 45 44. Uh not to mention all the other gear we have that will affect things too. So I think it's going to be really really effective and I'm excited to see if I'm at all correct cuz I might not be.
