    		 Tried out the Twilly Rainbow Board: Is it intended that celerity attacks don't trigger the eleShield? Still a very interesting concept. I can see it working very well with END builds or even certain backlash builds. Also, check the if this elemental shield should also protect against backlash effects. Potential exploit here.

    The monkey kneeboard is interesting too. There are strong builds you can try with Cold inflictors (entropy, mark of wrath) or getting an auto-block with Skjoldr and clones to get a free 1-time boost.

    Not much else to say about the other boards. Compression is nice, clones of already existing items are nice too.

    @Primate: After giving it another look, it appears that you are right, I did see it pop up momentarily on the celerity turn, so that means it is working as intended. Thanks!

    		I’m a big fan of the ele shield effect on the weapon. I hope we can see more of this in the future!

    		I also love the new Rainbow Board, and the Monkey one is absolutely bonkers.

    A fantastic release


    @ PD

    You lose the existing EleShield as your turn 'ends' when you use celerity and a new one starts. The same thing happens with DefBoost and Burn and all the other player-side statuses. I do wonder if it pairs with Master Archer, though...

    		 The new rainbow board is also my favorite, I'm extremely excited to use it for some defensive gameplay strategies.
    It's unfortunate, but it's currently underpaying for the eleshield it provides. It pays 25% melee in damage, which since the eleshield isn't based off hitcount, should actually be a 25*.85/1.4 = 15% eleshield (where *.85 is the autohit penalty, and /1.4 is the monster turn being worth 140% melee penalty), rather than a 25% eleshield. However, an easy solution to this is having the weapon pay a slightly higher amount of damage, ~40% melee (40*.85/1.4=~24%). So, it would remain the same defensive power, while trading some offensive power. Because it's rainbow element, it would start at base 60% damage, and then be multiplied by 132/109, which comes out to ~73% damage, or about the strength of a magic weapon. I think this would be a favorable fix to the item, compared to cutting down the eleshield to nearly half its strength.
    Aside from that, I love the look of the boards, and also loved last week's pride shop, very enjoyable items and art.

    If Master Archer fall of the surfboard and in the process sort of sling it at a direction with his feet at range..!! Then maybe!

    It's actually 30 (mc) * 132/109 / 1.4 = 25.95% melee.

    (also *0.85 for autohit, but /0.85 since monster's hit rate only makes an eleshield applicable 85% of the time)

    The monkey one is a shortboard not kneeboard, it's melee, not magic.

    		The best two are the Twilly and the Monkey. Melee based dodge support is a bit unique. It's a better sweetheart spear simply because it's more damage and doesn't require a mini bonus to obtain it. It's almost worth it to run Beast Warrior.

    Twilly's Ele shield isn't half bad, but it shines more so if you have an existing ele shield for several turns. It lowers the ele shield amount by quite a bit each turn.


    Disappointed with the lone magic weapon. Burn/poison/bleed or fear is meh. Tired statuses. I like that they're trying to keep with the status post spellcast idea, but would have rather seen something less bland. Panic, elevuln, blind, or maybe even a -20 save Dazzle status....I'd love to test some stacking with that idea. ... any of those would have been better.

    		 Rainbow board easily the best item out of the GGBs for FD Rangers. And considering it's only a R too, absolute winner! The Monkey board I want to say it's good but the fact that it's Melee doesn't make a lot of sense to me. How many Melee builds actually run Dodge anyway? This might change with the stat revamp idk but as it stands I think it might have been better for it to be Ranged or Magic instead, it's in a weird spot
