    Arena Updates and Nut-Draw Finale
    Sep 13 2025

    The crew kicks off the episode with the signature WWYD segment, followed by a Looking for Lethal submission from long-time listener Logan.

    From there, we dive into the latest Arena updates and discuss the results of the experimental, community-driven balance testing from over the past few weeks.

    Next up, we finally wrap up our three-part answer to Aarkenell’s mailbag question, analyzing how to counter a class’s nut draw. This episode covers Bard, Necro, Druid, and Monk. As always, we close with the Community Roundup and our usual taps and scraps. Thanks for listening!

    Alchemist & Barbarian Make Waves in a New Meta
    Aug 16 2025

    Kicking off this episode, the crew of DblDubz, Filtrophobe, and Tuff announce that they will be hosting a tournament with a grand prize of a Hero Realms Digital Legends account! (Available to non-Legend account holders only! Check the link below for details and to sign-up.)

    After this the crew breaks down a Dungeons character showdown between a Necromancer and a Druid. The Meta Mashup takes center stage for the episode as Filtrophobe takes us through all the latest Hero Helper data with much more significant sample sizes than available in our previous episode. Things are certainly taking shape around the latest update.

    This segues into Tuff’s latest experiment, an Elf Barbarian which we discuss in the Build Lab. From here we open up the Mailbag to continue our segment on beating the nut draw for each class. Tucked away in the Round-up is a star related rant that you won’t want to miss. Finally the crew says their goodbyes with their taps and scraps. Thanks for listening!
