Impackt: Year of the Horse

Back in the 90s

Mega Pack

Blueprint

From a crafting perspective

Chrysanthemultitude yes I cheated and copy-pasted that, deal with it is nothing really special as a craft. It costs a little more resources to craft, but not a noteworthy amount more.

It’s not a Spell, next.

From a meta perspective

Herbofimnottypingthatoutagain is an Herbal Medicine which means it’s mostly interchangeable with other options in the same tier. If you want more Attack, stick with Wild Oak Rose. More HP, use this.

From a crafting perspective

I’m just going to copy & paste what we said for Four Wyrms Mace in the Dragonboat Content Pass. This is basically identical to it as a craft.

Four Wyrms Mace Gilded Horsepower is a decent craft. It’s a Mace that uses metal, which is slightly unusual but not unheard of. Four Timewarped components, average 11 Essence that can be reduced to 9, all that normal stuff that we are coming to expect for a T15.

Being a Mace with no special sauce, it’s OK but not great for DI. Odds are pretty good that you already have a better option than it.

From a meta perspective

Gilded Horsepower is better than Four Wyrms Mace I guess, but we have a Mace compatible Dual Wield option in Crushtacean Pincers, and DW are basically always better. Maces are generally a weaker weapon type anyway, so the only reason you would ever really consider using this is if you’re locked into Maces and really need the HP secondary over Pincers’ Defense secondary. That’s a relatively specific case however.

Superior Pack

Blueprints

From a crafting perspective

Kirin is on the more expensive side as far as crafts go. It’s a Familiar (already pretty expensive) and it needs a fair amount of components. Otherwise there’s not much to say.

Familiars can’t be directly donated to the Airship, but they can affect your Champion’s Power stat which does translate to points. This is an Atk / CHC item with an All affinity which means it’s incredible for DI. It also has a T12 Spirit affinity (and one of the higher stat boosting ones) which makes it even better for this. If you really need to boost your Champion’s Power stat for the event, this is a fantastic option until you can replace it with the superior Harpy.

From a meta perspective

Anubis is in the same tier and has the extremely valuable HP / Def stat combo. Your Champions should never use Kirin outside of vanity. The only exceptions would be DI as previously mentioned or if you want to power level them since it has an Affinity for the new Kirin spirit.

From a crafting perspective

Facechanger’s Mask suuuure is a T15 craft alright.

Any of the other three premium Rogue Hats are better for DI.

From a meta perspective

We have an interesting situation here, where there are now four premium items of the same type in the same tier and none of them directly overlap with each other. That’s really nice, as it means none of them are directly outclassing each other.

If you’re still using Lacrosse Helm, then swap over to this. If you have one of the other T15 hats, you can stick with it unless you want some more HP.
