[proud apex]

Preferably apocalypse though, just does more damage than Orb imo

[amber mason]

Diablo is pretty straightforward to build in either direction

but it is difficult to spec her because you actually do want to level all her skills instead of the best 3

[proud apex]

Same issue I have with Kraken really

Even Tsunami has its uses now

[amber mason]

I mean, to be fair using all of the skills would be good game design

lol

[proud apex]

Not wrong XD

Are you doing it with other trials besides W5?

[amber mason]

Nope, I just did it with W5

I wanted to make sure I could clear it

lol

[proud apex]

You could take damage on death it really doesn’t make the runs that much harder

[amber mason]

I guess that's true

[proud apex]

@clever slate

you're gonna want that one under Mana Charge

[clever slate]

I see

[proud apex]

that makes item management so much easier

[proud apex]

Abundance MVP

not a often sight but a welcomed one

[amber mason]

@proud apex no wonder brave almost kicked my ass

I got a great Jor though lol

[proud apex]

Do you actually have the corrupted trial active?

[amber mason]

Yes I do

[proud apex]

Ah okay… that makes sense then XD

[amber mason]

Cerberus didn't show up until fucking 5-3

So I died in 5-5

lol

[proud apex]

W-wah

Why were you waiting that long for a unit XD

Was it just for the resurrection chance? You could use hellhound for that

[amber mason]

I use her to contribute to infernal power or whatever

Plus fire power for hellhound team

It was also just kind of the principle of the thing tbh

[proud apex]

XD sometimes it’s best to just go 2/3 Hell members

[amber mason]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-bizzare-adventure-rohan-kishibe-i-refuse-gif-26066583

[proud apex]

Well something had to trigger that gif XD

Now that you “spent” money on the game

I have yet to see you get a character skin

[amber mason]

I do have truth diablo now

and titan's skin from that season pass

[proud apex]

That don’t count

I meant like the actual costume packs XD

unless you used the rest for AL skins

[amber mason]

It's a hard choice, plus, they'll probably release more skins

then what if I want those skins?

[proud apex]

Fair argument…

[amber mason]

World 5 still kicks my butt but I'm also simultaneously playing Yakuza 0 so I might just save world 5 for when I'm bored

[proud apex]

Good ol Yakuza

[proud apex]

Good Ol Fire Team

[amber mason]

Hellhound OP support

[amber mason]

I love how apocalypse just looks like an airstrike

[proud apex]

Most of that was Abundance orb explosions XD

[proud apex]

I hate how there's this one guy who constantly trashes the idea that Chimera can be a damage dealer... I've legit found that building Chimera as AP just works... she can do good damage and you can get some good temps for her (might even work for ATK but you lose out on Soul Hook) ... I mainly build her AP due to Soul Hook itself but i think i've found that perfect middle ground to where she can have sustain and damage

AP Chimera Build
-Frost Sword Mastery
-Soul Hook (Dark Axe)
-Black Lightning (Lightning Sword)

##Passives##
-AP Fusion
-Power of Unity (Staple requirement)
-Free Space (Can be one of the converts or Chaos Orb)

##Items##
-Crystal Sheild ( Boosts 30% Cold Acid and Dark Damage, she is running all Cold and 2 Dark skills with this build)
-Double Ring ( Staple for AP builds )
-Crit Sword / Book Sword ( Both spike up damage )

##Preferred Temps##
-Enki; Splitting it down the middle actually gives her a good boost to her damage across the board since in the end all her skills still build off both stats
-High Mage; Busted for increased the Cold and Lightning damage on both of her moves and the huge AP boost in general
-W1 Mage (At Legendary); For obvious reasons, it's just a free Double Ring Temp
-W1 Archer (At Legendary); Even on AP, giving all projectiles 50% bonus damage is good on its own
-Scout Captain; Good for both AP ATK, Already very busted for distance damage

Even if she isn't the mvp damage dealer, she can do a lot on her own built this way

[amber mason]

I build chimera as AP mostly because of the other AP meta characters there is basically just Diablo

lol

[proud apex]

Facepalm Now i wake up to read the guy saying Abundance is worse than Medusa

i swear his takes are as bad as Takis

my past runs have been nothing but Abundance doing good damage and work...

[clever slate]

[proud apex]

Huh didn’t catch this until now

v0.98.5 (Build 253)

• Fixes an issue where the damage from a Change would remain with the corresponding attribute tag.

Now for sure, Chimera physical convert is niche

You lose physical tag doing so

[amber mason]

Oh wait that means you can't use it with power of unity anymore right?

[proud apex]

If you take the converts physicals, no

It will actually remove the physical tag

[amber mason]

Rough

[proud apex]

This doesn’t affect me much as I stopped taking the convert and just went for resistance drop or the speed accel

[amber mason]

TBH especially for world 5 I feel like the resistance debuff is the way to go

[proud apex]

Trust me when I say it is… it’s partly why I stopped going for the damage cut dark for 50% extra fire damage on Diablo…. Can’t say the same for the abyss darkness though that I still take the +35%

[amber mason]

I need to do some more runs, I've been lazy now that I've done the low hanging fruit for trials

I gotta eventually do like stheno and medusa and titan

[proud apex]

Good luck with some of those other ones

Especially if you start going for t4

(4 trials)

[amber mason]

I only have to do 4 trials once for the achievement though right?

[proud apex]

Yes

Then you gotta do T8

For 8k souls

[proud apex]

Lots of ncie announcements today

And the expected release date for w2 corruption and this new god will drop end of May

[amber mason]

Oh a breakdown of damage by skill? That's nice

[proud apex]

what's left to be revealed atm is MidBoss Corrupted forms, and Joy

[proud apex]

Hello, everyone,
This is GameCoaster.

Deal damage meter for each skill, new dark gods and new trials, rework for Lilith and stage 2 heroes temperaments.
We are preparing for the season 1 reinforcement update, including stage 2 hero corruption and more.

In the case of Corrupted Heroes, Stage 2 Corrupted Heroes do not have higher stats than Stage 1 Corrupted Heroes.
Currently, the problem is that the Corrupted Heroes does not receive the effect from most monster skills or dark god blessings
We're making adjustments to make them more powerful given their lower stat settings.

Beyond that, we plan to include small and large improvements.

The current reinforcement update schedule is in progress with the goal of the fourth week of May (5.22-5.29).
We will do our best not to delay the update.

thank you

[amber mason]

Good to know they're going to be buffing them to make them more useful

I remember @clever slate complaining they just died immediately lol

[proud apex]

Still waiting on them to think how getting tje acolytes is gonna work

Cause with how late you get abundance sometimes

[opal lark]

What’s the corrupted sanctum

[amber mason]

It's where you store your corrupted heroes

which you can capture from world 1 only (for now)

[opal lark]

Is there a meta one so far

And sorry I meant this

I’m not seeing where to use her

[amber mason]

You have to capture her

every run

This is basically just where you can upgrade her

In terms of meta corrupted heroes, I think the wizard is actually pretty good

Mainly you are looking for debuffers/support because they don't do a lot of damage usually

[opal lark]

Yea I only found villager Jann adventurer and priest so far

Jann feels like the worst lol

[amber mason]

I think Luna is also pretty good according to @proud apex

[proud apex]

Actually no

Luna is strictly support unless you get lucky and get an active gun on her

Her starting skill is basically a heal with a dark resistance debuff, but the heal is very minimal… she is mostly just a healing meat stick

I have a Luna at lvl 13 that hasn’t gotten a single offensive skill so all she does is stand there popping her heal every few seconds…

Unfortunate too since she has a S in AP

Sure they aren’t meant to do numbers compared to your own units, but I like units that can actually do something…

Thankfully I have a Luna with two active gun skills so that alleviates my issues

[amber mason]

It's such a pain that it's so random

[amber mason]

random flame damage

[proud apex]

Random, but still good because she actually can attack now

I kinda want a full row of Lunas that all have a elemental bullet

There is fire, ice and lightning

[opal lark]

wait they get additional skills for upgrading?

L:Dead

omg this seems like an rng nightmare

and will it always be the same?

as in 7 battle cooldown

or do they eventually become "permanent"?

[amber mason]

The cooldown is random too

lol

per capture

I think the lowest I've gotten is one that is summonable every 5 rounds though

[opal lark]

oh it just so happened my first 2 were 7

so I thought it was just a consistent 7

[amber mason]

I have a corrupted wizard with Chaos Explosion (deals ranged flame damage and decreases resistance of all elements except dark by 15% for 3 seconds), Chronomancer (skill accel of a random ally is increased by 23.36% for 6 seconds), sacred arrow (deals holy damage in a straight line and decreases holy resistance by 15% for 4 seconds, pierces all enemies), alchemist (increases AP of a random ally by 35.3% for 6 seconds), and illusionist (range of a random ally is increased by 20.86% for 6 seconds)

That's my best one IMO

[opal lark]

right now I imagine my best option is just to focus on upgrading the guidance stone

[amber mason]

yeah corrupted heroes are really end game right now, I would focus on other stuff first

The monsters are much more powerful

[opal lark]

monsters?

[amber mason]

Yeah

Like the characters you're using

diablo, chimera, etc.

[opal lark]

okay that's what you mean

yea the only thing is you need the blood to improve them

which means having to progress more difficulties

while at least the corrupted heroes can be farmed without progressing

but only being able to use them every 5 levels is already bleh

[amber mason]

corrupted heroes are just not that useful though

They can sometimes help you push through bosses but that's it

I pretty much only summon them against Apostles

TFW legendary wizard and nothing to do with her

[opal lark]

I mean for me the apostles are the hard part

[amber mason]

Yeah but other than meat shields they are still not too helpful imo

[opal lark]

I'm still at the early difficulties

I figured the heroes would be good for buffing too

at least minor buffs

[opal lark]

also how do you cap her every run

or is it rng

[amber mason]

It's rng

[opal lark]

that's floor 3 right

[amber mason]

Abundance is the boss of world 1

[opal lark]

oh

haven't seen her as a reward yet

how far do the difficulty levels go

also is chimera the only one with holy?

I see the temperament for holy damage

and the item attribute

otherwise the temperament that adds holy to phys or something

[amber mason]

Medusa has a passive that adds holy to physical attacks

[opal lark]

oh I guess it was the skill

[amber mason]

I think you have to have corrupted trial enabled. You don't get to trials until after completing Holy difficulty which is the highest difficulty.

[opal lark]

how far away from holy am I

assuming very far

[amber mason]

I think there's like... Normal -> Hard -> Genesis -> Penance -> Holy -> Holy + Trials

Or something like that

I don't remember if genesis comes before penance

or if there's something between hard and genesis

there might be a Very Hard

[opal lark]

normal > penance > legend > myth

in my game

[amber mason]

Oh I forgot about myth lmao

[opal lark]

I got to myth on cerb so far

[amber mason]

in that case it's myth -> Genesis -> Holy I think

[opal lark]

just doing normal + penance on all chars right now

to get more mats

[amber mason]

Yeah that's the way to go usually

do all the difficulties with each character then move to the next difficulty

[proud apex]

@amber mason actually it can go even lower than 5

it depends on how lucky you are

[opal lark]

so which ones do I look for again

[proud apex]

You have to pray one of her level ups goes into her stats, and it goes to cool down XD

[amber mason]

The only good corrupted hero I've found so far is Wizard tbh.

[opal lark]

jann seems useless

and so goes adventurer

how do they get more skills

[proud apex]

level up with Souls and pray

sometimes they get nothing

[opal lark]

oh rng on new skill unlocks too

[amber mason]

heals all allies by .5% of their lost life per 1% of their dark resistance
What in the brave frontier is this skill description

[opal lark]

yea my jann is lv3

and no extras

she got S for one of the stats so figured I'd gamble

guessing she's worthless then

[proud apex]

keep going

[amber mason]

Everything about corrupted heroes is RNG

[proud apex]

sometimes it takes like a level to get new skills

[opal lark]

what's the best one you've seen

[amber mason]

the stats are RNG, the growth is RNG, the skills are RNG

capturing them is obviously RNG

[opal lark]

at least you can save them onec you get a god roll

does the willpower have anything to do with the quality

higher willpower = better stats?

[proud apex]

Supposedly yes

this one makes me so damn sad

S in AP, 5 turn cooldown... but no skill actually does damage

[opal lark]

I mean, I assume they don't do much damage anyway?

[proud apex]

They don't, but still, little damage better than none

and most of the active damage skills come with resistance debuffs

Like my Luna with a Fire Bullet makes her great on fire teams (Once they fix corrupted units in the next patch to actually get buffs from the rest of the team)

[opal lark]

and right now we can only get from the first world right

[proud apex]

Soon 2nd world

Patch coming towards the end of May where w2 will be corruptible

[opal lark]

[proud apex]

And yes, they are constantly getting fondled by mummy hands

[opal lark]

https://tenor.com/view/barbanne-hams4anne-hamsters4anne-hammies-anneshams-gif-25040673

for chaos orb on chimera

does a single ally have to hit the 3 elements

or is it the cumulative of all allies has to reach 3 eleemnts

[proud apex]

No it has to be total elements inflicted

So like, you can do two with one character and one with another and if counts

[opal lark]

okay that's what I neeed to know

I feel like chimera is always a staple for me...

[proud apex]

She’s a staple for everyone

She is THAT good

[opal lark]

okay I'm not crazy then

[proud apex]

Her only lacking is damage which can be fixed but she can still get outclassed

[opal lark]

how do I build water wedge kraken

I know navi mentioned she's generally the best

[amber mason]

You definitely want to take Wave Orb and Brinicle. You've got some flexibility on the rest. I normally also do Tentacle Strike, Master of the Sea, and Strengthened Tentacles

[opal lark]

okay that's exactly what I've been running

and for chaos orb are you going stuns or res down

[amber mason]

I like to go for stun but I think @proud apex prefers res down. But it can also depend on the rest of your team since it's pretty easy to get res down from other sources

[proud apex]

I do either or

Stun is good if I’m running other stunning skills, can actually stun lock the heroes

Res down if I know I’m not running much stun or just need more damage investment

Kraken is definitely broken, and she has various ways to be built

Water Wedge
Water Orb / Wave Song for Wet Stacks (you always want to take the attribute that gives 33% chance wet)
Tentacle Strike (Either Foreflinger or LightningStrike)

Strength Tentacle with the 75% is a must

Brincle / 35% additional cold damage
MotS (Master of the Sea) / 1% extra chance per wet stack

You can also opt out Tentacle Strike for Tsunami which can give either ricochet to WaveOrb and Arrow, or even give cold damage to anyone’s physical skills which gives them access to Brincle also (but you can also take a Mari blessing on Ammo and that fixes that, then you can freely take Richochet)

And if you don’t want wave orb shenanigans you go Tentacle River instead or Orb, and try to have as much physical damage on your team as possible for the tentacle seed passive

Kraken / WaveOrb Tsunami is a pretty unpopular build, but I like it

Kraken / WaveOrb TentacleStrike is the usual go to for everyone, does a bit of everything… The GoTo

Kraken / Tentacle’s Galore (Strike and River) is definitely abusable if you have plenty of physical damage dealers on the team that can also inflict seed… rivals the GoTo Kraken build

[amber mason]

why 35% additional cold damage instead of more damage to frozen enemies

[proud apex]

Frozen lasts for a second, it has the similar issue as Fear…

For that second you’re doing 65% but afterwards it’s back to normal… 35% is just a raw boost to all cold damage

Fear unlike Brincle, lasts for a good while so long as you still inflict dark damage, so the 30% to feared enemies is good

Brincle lasting for a burst of a second means your cash out in damage in the brincinle explosion then again when it happens again… while fear the damage is consistent so long as you see the enemy suddenly walking back

[amber mason]

Hmm... but kraken can inflict frozen right?

[opal lark]

omg still 10 shards away from stheno

[proud apex]

@amber mason ANYONE can do Frozen… if Brincle is active and they have cold damage

So Brincle is a requirement to Frozen ailment

[opal lark]

also ocean of gold stone

is stage like 1 fight

or stage like the world

[amber mason]

That being the case, doesn't the buff to damage to frozen enemies work better if you pick up a couple of marielle's blessings

[amber mason]

Like the world I think

[proud apex]

Really not 100% sure on that…

But 35% is just the safer one since it helps the whole team and not just Kraken

[amber mason]

But didn't you just say anyone can do frozen if they have cold damage and brincle is active

[proud apex]

And more of a constant over 65% only during Frozen burst aoe

it’s trial and error XD

[amber mason]

The advantage to dealing more damage to frozen enemies is also that it increases all damage and not just cold damage

[proud apex]

Well I’ll say it’s up to user decision on that one

[amber mason]

As long as you can keep the enemy consistently frozen at least, which it feels like you could if you use a blessing to give cold damage to people

[proud apex]

Both can do good, I won’t deny the 65% on frozen is what I usually ran for the longest time

[amber mason]

and IMO marielle's blessing is the best one for skills

[proud apex]

Yeah, I agree with that one for sure

The brincle debate is definitely up to the user on which they take, 35% cold or 65% on frozen

[proud apex]

Damn... weird for me to see I almost have all the soul upgrades maxed out

last two perks i need to fully upgrade

[proud apex]

Idk what’s harder… taking -1choice or taking corrupted energy

But holy crap I did it again…

T8 clear

[amber mason]

Depends on if you get corrupted acolytes tbh

[opal lark]

wtf 16m on boss

my bosses are still like 400k

[amber mason]

Holy + corrupted is hell

Plus world 5

[proud apex]

fishing for abundance for a run, but then does some shop rng

six abundance thongs

[amber mason]

stonks

Feels like they should make the acolyte information more common now that you have to spend it to upgrade their corrupted form too

[proud apex]

@amber mason I mean it kinda is?

There’s an upgrade that gets you 1 panty each time you corrupt Abundance

And since her debut as playable it seems like the shops now have her panty often (I have a maxed out shop so I could be wrong on that)

I literally got all 5 of those panties just from shop alone, using all 5 of my shop refreshes and a tiny bit of RNG manipulating

[proud apex]

What they really need to do is increase corrupted acolytes chances

Abundance being corrupted is a bit too much of a rarity

[amber mason]

Feels like you should get them 100% if you've got corrupted trial on

[proud apex]

You’d think that but nope…

[proud apex]

Double KO

[amber mason]

I see you've got best girl

and Jann is there too

[proud apex]

wizards are just good

Especially when you happen to get more than one active skill

[proud apex]

Dungeon Squad Update, brings home new updates and features

T12 now is a thing with a whooping 12k souls for completing it

IOS bois still waiting as DroidBois flatten out the bugs

GreatSword got a nasty nerf from being a solid number to percentage based… so now might be a trash item

The nice quality of life change in seeing what move does more damage now added

New dark god and she is Lightning based, hurray for Titan

Corrupted Heroes will actually get team wide buffs now from the monsters, aka Chimera’s Power of Unity and stuff like that (assuming)

Peace Temp got a HUGE buff in that it affects the whole team now

[amber mason]

It'll be nice to see Titan get some love.

[proud apex]

https://gamecoaster.notion.site/v0-99-0-Build-259-aa0cc625dae646ada16b1040307aa5ba

[amber mason]

Enhance body increased to 25

that's pretty significant

And new corruptible heros too

Also it looks like they're nerfing truth and holy again?

[proud apex]

The enhance body thing is definitely big...

you can add more to everyone's stats now if you have the blood

[amber mason]

I'll probably end up resetting some people lol

To buff others

[proud apex]

finally i can use the 130 extra blood i have XP

[proud apex]

Update has dropped T12 is INSANELY hard… and I technically don’t really need it myself

It’s much more RNG heavy than T8

[amber mason]

Is T12 doing 12 trials at once?

[proud apex]

Yes

The lingo for Trials is T(X) whatever number of trials you run

Of course it was much more simpler and meaningful before where you can say T4 and it meant you had W5, Damage on Res, -1Choice, and Extra Boss life on

Now you say T4 it could mean you have anything on

But the achievements are specifically locked behind T4, T8, and the newer T12

[proud apex]

Forgets to take immortality... New Mechanics automatically lock out any more gods from showing up if you have blessings from 4 different gods

Those pleasure crystals almost ruined a run for me... Thankfully W5 gave me Mari blessings so i got bubbles on resurrection and at start XD

[amber mason]

I really need to unlock some ban mechanics but they're so expensive

[proud apex]

@amber mason all it took for me was doing T4 and T8 achievement

That is a free 4K and 8k souls after all… makes them an easy quick buy

[proud apex]

Oh god yes they added an extra Temp Change, you can now have a total of 6

[amber mason]

Ooh that's nice

Makes w5 temps actually useful

[clever slate]

haven't touch the game for awhile and just recently open it

so there's a lightning dark god now ?

[proud apex]

Yup

T12 is now a thing although it's extremely difficult

especially because 5-6 (The desert crew) are slightly bugged to where they get extra tanky due to pleasure

Lilith and Pleasure mechanic has been heavily reworked

There's a specific trial that makes Both MidBosses appear during their fights and during the Main Boss fight, making the fights harder (but WAY more interesting... this is also why currently T12 is way harder because it means Joy/Lust W5 is technically needing to be killed 4 times due to Anubis Ressurection)

[clever slate]

darn

[clever slate]

i think you can farm dimension crystal at normal mode right ? cuz my trial run is not really consistent to farm

[amber mason]

Man I gotta remember to play again some time

Aether Gazer just dropped so I've been doing that lol

[proud apex]

Dead game confirmed

Navi stopped playing / remembering to play, Noel hasn’t played since previous update… big sad

[amber mason]

It's still on my phone but it's not time sensitive like AG is lol

Plus it's hard to visualize a next goal given that I've unlocked all the monsters and difficulties and such. So it's like very casual "maybe I do another holy trial" here and there

[proud apex]

i'll admit, i haven't played the game as of late only due to AzurLane grind

[clever slate]

same lmao

[clever slate]

i just had a honor to actually use Abundance in from start to finish

and she's actually really good

[amber mason]

It's too bad you can't store abundance as a corrupted hero

[clever slate]

Yea, its kinda suck b/c you'll usually get around late world 2 or early world 3

What da hands doin

[proud apex]

Exactly what you think they are doing

Desert crew has some good default active skills

[clever slate]

[proud apex]

Oh boy the game is in a mess with the updates lately…

So wide change to everyone’s additional projectile attribute instead of being -30% power is now -30% firing speed and it honestly is noticeable on some characters

Resistances are now calculated different so that’s a mess all on it’s own

And more items are nerfed into the ground

[amber mason]

How are resistances calculated now?

[proud apex]

They are raw numbers now

[amber mason]

Oh, interesting... That kind of makes it more confusing

[proud apex]

(this was part of the patch 272 notes in GC cafe.naver)
Hello, everyone,
This is GameCoaster.

A hotfix is in progress to avoid excessive skill stacking of some warriors when reinforcements are activated.

If there are no additional problems, we plan to proceed with the second reinforcement update based on the current version.
Due to internal circumstances of the development team, the 2nd reinforcement update of Season 1 may be delayed a bit longer than previous enhancement updates.

Thank you.

(this was part of the patch 274 notes in GC cafe.naver)
Hello, everyone,
This is GameCoaster.

We're releasing an update that changes the in-game resistance system and fixes an issue where passive damage was set to low.

Previously, when you gained 50% from temperament and 50% from buffs, you had 75% resistance, and needed a 300% resistance reduction to get it down to 0%.
In the new update, if you earned 100 from temperament and 100 from buffs, you would have 66.66% resistances.
This has been changed so that it only takes a 200% resistance reduction, the same amount as the gain, to bring it down to 0%.

Due to the scope of the changes, we'll be rolling them out to the PTR first starting with this update,
Depending on the update, it will be rolled out to the official channels and iOS in 1-3 days.

Thank you.

Copied from the Server

[amber mason]

Man I don't know if I understand that update lol

[clever slate]

so resistance is now hyperbolic

compare to whatever it is before

[clever slate]

also the corrupted prisoner mess with my run so hard

sometime i get like 4-5 corrupted prisoner and no normal one to upgrade my stuff

[amber mason]

It'd be nice if you could purify them and use them for normal food

[proud apex]

OH BOI OH BOI!

[clever slate]

Les goo

[proud apex]

Most likely end of month if I had to guess

[proud apex]

But man… it surprises me they made her EVEN MORE naked

[clever slate]

Kudo to them for not reusing the WoT sprites

[proud apex]

@clever slate the what sprite?

[clever slate]

the Witness of Truth Acolytes

like i never actually seen them

the whole screen just got covered by fx

[proud apex]

Oh, yeah course not… they didn’t do it with Abundnace so doubt they will for Corrupted

The Awoken sprites are pretty great

[clever slate]

yea they're all look really cool

ignore the horniness

[proud apex]

Nah EMBRACE the horniness

Especially Desert Crew since they are all about being horny

[clever slate]

ah yes the Lust Alcolyte

[amber mason]

That doesn't surprise me at all tbh

[proud apex]

So i'm happy to discover a way to make Medusa legit useful

[amber mason]

Oh really? Finally

[clever slate]

Fr ?

[amber mason]

Did it

[proud apex]

@amber mason @clever slate requires you to build Medusa with plenty of physical team mates in mind

Build her like you’re building a poison build, but grab all her abilities that normally are meant for ATK build
-Black Hutch
-Tentacle Wave (Concentrated Wave/Cold Penetration (this one really doesn’t matter)
-Petrification Eye (With Divine Punishment)

Passives
-Tentacle Head (Very much preferred to get Richochet for crowd control on Black Hutch Poison)
-Statue Hunt This is where her damage against bosses is going to come from (75% of damage after petrification is added as bonus fixed damage)
-Cursed Eye (adds 15% Crit chance when Medusa damages an enemy) ALTHOUGH I haven’t tested if the added physical damage on distance is good too

The result-

Statue Hunt really is the Key... and about two other partners who do mostly physical damage

if you get Abundance, EVERYONE is doing physical damage so Medusa just gets super charged

[proud apex]

Nice… but… hue hue… Now do T8

[amber mason]

Is that an achievement though

[proud apex]

Yes

T8 gets you 8k souls

And then after that there's the newer T12 that gives 12k souls

[amber mason]

Oh, nice. Sounds tricky but I might try it

[proud apex]

Though the T12 is definitely the new hardest crap ever

T8 is much easier now... Hell I practically do that casually now

T7 but close enough...

[clever slate]

I need to farm more crystals

[toxic jetty]

[proud apex]

my runs now end in about 40-50 crystals each run

[proud apex]

Hello, everyone,
This is GameCoaster.

​In this patch we will Improve the usability and accessibility of some interfaces and we are going to update the stage 2 including the corruption of the remaining warriors.

We will continue to improve interfaces that have not yet been touched.
Please understand that development was delayed due to internal circumstances during June.

​Updates will be published first on the public beta test channel,
Once stability is confirmed, it will be published to the full store.

Thank you.

She’s comin bois! (She is technically already here for the beta testers)

[clever slate]

'em strings carries

[amber mason]

booba

@proud apex upon further consideration I feel like that one maybe needs to be censored for the server.

But I appreciate that you were sharing an official screenshot

[proud apex]

That's fair

Legit, Joy has the more skinship

[proud apex]

We are getting a lot of big changes, especially to UI

More trials (which might mean a new big have all trials on achievement)

i think Android just got the release, IOS has to wait a few

[amber mason]

This is a lot better

[proud apex]

update is out too @amber mason

[proud apex]

So Corrupted Joy now that I got a run with her is like a Horny version of Stheno

She is Physical Lightning Pleasure based

AP

[proud apex]

oh gods... i DEFINITELY can't post their KO animations XD

[clever slate]

you got my interest

i should run this game on an emulator instead of my phone

[proud apex]

Navi feel free to delete this even if the spoiler tag is over it and you deam it too much

@clever slate

[clever slate]

💀

[proud apex]

The funny thing is, I think Corrupted Anubis is worse

[clever slate]

12+ baby

[amber mason]

I feel like there's some minimum percentage of booba that needs to be covered for it to be ok here and that is deinitely not enough

[clever slate]

gonna need to do some censoring before posting then

[proud apex]

I can only imagine once Corrupted Pride comes out… she doesn’t wear anything up top after all

[clever slate]

what's with emulator

i can't get my save data

it just like this

i'm using bluestack

[proud apex]

No clue on that one, I usually never mess with cloud stuff

Also EXTREMELY recommended new perk

two new perks gets unlocked for 120 crystals

despair injection basically lets you instantly get the acolyte to be useable once maxed out

[proud apex]

Actually a good fix to the “Getting the Acolyte super late issue”

Also… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! T15 achievement is now a thing… for 15k souls

I just managed to do T12 because some of the newer trials are actually dumb easy to deal with

[amber mason]

That's pretty good actually, but I can only imagine the pain that will come with world 3 and 4 acolytes

lol

[proud apex]

Imo, Peace is manageable if by the time you get there your other 4 are already done, which leaves all of world 4 to build Peace… Pride however… yeah I’m still curious how they will even tackle Pride since the run is usually over by that point

[clever slate]

oi

is it me

or elizabeth seems kinda good

[clever slate]

i hope my item choice don't give anyone here OCD

[proud apex]

It does to me... why do i see two crystal swords!

but yeah, Elizabeth ammo seems good,

[proud apex]

Oh boy oh boy! Season 2 and it looks like we are getting Jor as the Season 2 Skin

Hello, everyone,
This is GameCoaster.

We are going to start developing Season 2 after the upcoming supplementary updates.

The Corruption content that we started in Season 1, due to the heavy workload, we weren't able to finish it within the season, so we'll continue to update it throughout Season 2 and Season 3.

Within Season 2, we'll be adding the final boss that we've been putting off, stronger in-play growth, and new monsters, new blessings, and more.

We hope to finish the supplemental update as soon as possible and we'll see you with the new season.

Thank you.

[clever slate]

Nice

[amber mason]

Big ass sword

[proud apex]

So we are FINALLY getting a final boss

It’s been pushed back over and over again

[clever slate]

what Pride is not the final bost ?

[amber mason]

Nope, there's going to be a "real" final boss

[proud apex]

Massive UI change

It’s pretty mixed opinions right now

It feels a bit cluttered… but I do like the look of it

[clever slate]

yea

idk how i feel about this one

but the stats display is nice

[amber mason]

It's not bad but it's very different

[proud apex]

my muscle memory is fucked in the menu now

[amber mason]

It's kind of awkward that the top UI overlaps with the main info though

Same with the bttom actually

[proud apex]

Not sure why they changed it but i mean... i'm sure after more feedback they will adjust

the items are for sure... way too small

[clever slate]

i feel like the characters' sprites is a little too big

[proud apex]

OH BUT LET ME MENTION THE BEST PART OF THIS UPDATE

** Added the function to destroy stored equipment.**

We no longer have to fear having like 3 rubies in storage and nothing to do with them

This update is live btw… has been for like 2-3 days now

[amber mason]

Oh that's great

[proud apex]

Delicious Crystals

[amber mason]

Damn

Nice

[proud apex]

Mah lordo this skin...

Also Season 2 is out, Final Boss is almost impossible to win against, might be a nerf down the line

[amber mason]

Big booba

Also I haven't played in awhile

but I noticed the icon updated

I should get around to it

But AG just dropped a new event

[clever slate]

Sheesh

Beeg sword

Me like

[proud apex]

Season 2 is out now

Season 1 is now available for anyone WITHOUT the season pass

[clever slate]

is this shop skin or season pass skin ?

[proud apex]

Season pass skin

Gotta work for it

[clever slate]

Nice

i don't have to paid for it

already paid for the season pass

what will ss2 introduce anyway ?

Corrupted Peace ?

[proud apex]

@clever slate

Season 2: Blasphemy (Released)

• ✅ Final Boss (최종 보스)
• ✅ [The Temple] (성전)
• ✅ Relics (성물)
• ✅ Monster specific relics (몬스터 전용 성물)

- ✳️✅ Simplified effects (이펙트 간소화)

Season 2: Reinforcement Update

• New Dark God (신규 마신)
• New Monsters (신규 몬스터)
• Interface improvements (인터페이스 개선)
• Stage 3 Common/Elite/Special Hero Corruption (스테이지 3 일반/정예/특수 용사 타락)
• Stage 3 Apostle of Peace Corruption (스테이지 3 평화의 사도 타락)

Notes:

• () is the original KR text.
• [] is something that I'm not sure about the translation
• ✳️ is something new

This is basically what’s to come

We got part 1 of Season 2 atm

[clever slate]

oh dear more mechanics

[proud apex]

relics are fun, but they cost resources to use in each run so be mindful of that when you see a legendary relic that costs 120 genesis stones

[clever slate]

Lmao i still need to grind for lv7 skills

[amber mason]

oof

[clever slate]

the season 2 pass is somewhat actually hard this time

[proud apex]

Final Boss is legit EXTREMELY hard and pretty much naturally pushes you to do 8 Trials

(you're forced to take 5 specific trials)

like it's harder than trying to do a normal T12 run without final boss active

two attempts and both failed

[amber mason]

Wew

[proud apex]

Also IOS finally got the latest patch update

As usual, Droid Bois test the waters before IOS and get patches faster

There were some bugs and adjustments in the middle of the released version and what’s out now, one of the biggest QoL changes is we can get EVEN MORE souls and stones in a run

And now all upgrades show the total number of upgrades so like… the Genesis Stone upgrades now say something like 12/15 total upgrades

Characters got adjusted across the board…

https://gamecoaster.notion.site/v1-01-1-Build-307-c95fd851c55b4fb5b19474482fe319cf

You can read up about it here

[amber mason]

Looks like mostly buffs too

[clever slate]

how do you guys do Teleport trial

it messes with me so bad

also i can't just seem to build a physical comp consistently

[proud apex]

Wdym?

[clever slate]

enemies spawn too close and it just nuke my team

[proud apex]

Do you have corrupted heroes?

My usual strategy is pop one corrupted hero on stage 1-1 to deal with the rush ( one that can attack obviously… ) Corrupted Mage is best on that

If you don’t have Chaos trial active… book it to the mastery you need… IE Pegasus with Abyss Feather… before 1-5

If you atleast have mastery main gun, the rest should be smooth sailing

[clever slate]

i always died on like world 3 with teleport

[proud apex]

What does your team usually look like?

[clever slate]

kraken, cerberus. jor

i never got that far to get a full 5

[proud apex]

By W3 you should atleast have the 3 close to being done with items and skills honestly

If not 2 completely done

what about your usual formation?

[clever slate]

Charge

kek

usually is the Physical formation but sometimes i get unlucky

[proud apex]

Oh god, pick Salvo

Just nothing but Salvo, no wonder you get swamped with Charge Formation it makes heroes way faster

[clever slate]

Why salvo tho

It seems too situational

[proud apex]

not at all

@clever slate Guerenteed your team will always have Cerberus or Chimera both have 3 total Ammo skills at all time

keep them at spot 2-3 and you have constantly fast fire rate... this also buffs all Ammo skills substantially in damage

Most character have 2 ammo skills so it really just buffs team damage over all

[clever slate]

What about physical build

[proud apex]

and the detriments of having the formation is honestly very ignorable

Just use Savlo, it works with everything

going Physical? Salvo

Going Dark? Okay that one i'll actually say Black and White Formation

Element? ignore it... Salvo

[clever slate]

Damn

[proud apex]

Going for any other formation just buffs the heroes in a way you don't want to deal with

like Element makes them harder to kill with Physical Holy and Dark Damage

going Dakr makes it's hard for the other four elements to kill

[clever slate]

what would be a good physical team comp

i can't do it consistenly like fire

[proud apex]

Charge Formation makes enemies almost 20% faster... they will be in your face in a moment especially on teleport

If you go Physical

-Medusa
-Kraken
-Cerberus
-Abundance ( If you can get her )
-Hellhound
-Pegasus or Jor

or the recent addition Joy can help too

Medusa is almost a requirement for this because of how abuseable Statue Hunt can be

[clever slate]

i see

what skill would i go for Hellhound

[proud apex]

This skill is what really makes Medusa do huge numbers

About Hellhound, you want Ball and Howl all the time every time

[clever slate]

yea Fixed Dmg is bonkers

[proud apex]

As for Medusa...

Black Hutch (Gives her crowd control ricochet and poison)
Concentrated Wave (Focus Fire) or Cold Penetration (both work really)
Petrification Gaze ( Divine Punishment ) You want them petrified as much as possible, Petrification Gaze does that by adding even more time to the enemy being petrified letting Statue Hunt do even more damage once you get the passive attribute for fixed damage

If you go full physical (Abudnace can give everyone all physical) 15/15 Greatsword item is a must... since it boosts damage based on how much physical damage the whole team has

[clever slate]

i see

[proud apex]

Good example of Medusa putting in work all due to the one passive of Statue Hunt

[clever slate]

what would chimera be doing in a phys comp ?

[proud apex]

Nothing besides just being there due to Soul Hook

and her overall support utility

like you can't pass up the 35% extra power along with buffing whatever two elements you focus on

[clever slate]

[proud apex]

Chimera is always a staple in any team comp

[clever slate]

i usually ignore her for someone like Jor

in a phys comp

[proud apex]

You absolute fool

Chimera is a must for every team... she is like glue

especially in harder levels

Here's the thing... once you get Abundance, you can throw team comp out the window

Abundance gives EVERYONE physical damage with her Power of Greed Skill

[clever slate]

lemme guess, is diablo there for fear buff ?

[clever slate]

bold of you to assume i would be able to get Abundance

[proud apex]

Again this is IF you get her

But with this, you can give all 6 elements physical damage

[proud apex]

Not even

I had no fear on Diablo with the build she was running

[clever slate]

damn ok

[proud apex]

I got abundance so at that point i didn't care about my team comp cause I had all i physical I needed

besides you see how little she actuslly did?

Honestly I don't remember how this run went entirely, but i went with the specific goal of making sure Medusa got all the requisites she needed for insane fixed damage

[clever slate]

i should actually start trying to do WoT again

cuz of the pass

[proud apex]

these are all old runs

regardless, all my runs go smooth like butter and I have in most cases 9-10 trials active

one of which is actually Teleport along with Phase Shifts which makes them teleport again after getting hit once and be invincible for half a second

My mindset in a run is usually this
-Doesn't matter who my first two are, Cerberus and Chimera usually required

-If Abundnce is acquired, have my ATK scale monster with a greatsword and abundance herself with a Greatsword

-If I have Hellhound on the team, try to get either Diablo or Cerberus or both... mostly Cerberus though due to the 1 unconditional resurrection she can give the whole team

-Chimera will always have "Power of X" depending on what element my team will most likely run... is it more fire? Get Desert... is it more Dark? get Swamp

-ALWAYS have Magic Shield (Ring Shield) It helps survivability,,, it avoids one shots right at the start of the fight and always make sure it on the AP user ( Usually that's Chimera in this case since she can get the highest AP thanks to Fusion )

-Always Run Salvo... it just the best

-Blessing Wise, if I want to survive, Mari Bubble Advent, Rebecca Resurrections... Ammo/NonAmmo take whatever I see fit, avoid Lilith though due to W2 Joy UNLESS I know I can get the damage to back it up

[clever slate]

this has always been my staple item i throw it on whoever can't do dmg 💀

[amber mason]

I remember I did it by basically just killing them instantly but might not be feasible now

[proud apex]

Jesus T15

Stheno is definitely the character needed for it... just busted dark damage going nuts

[clever slate]

sheesh

[amber mason]

Wew Stheno good now?

[proud apex]

Yes and no

Just she has a pretty abusable strategy so long as you can get the right build going

[proud apex]

big update to Dungeon Squad, we got W3 corrutped units and a new monster to play with

[amber mason]

Goat girl

Very cute

[clever slate]

nice pentagram location

[proud apex]

shes cold dark which menas she actually is someoen who compliments Kraken

i feel bad for you both though as in Build 319 (we are on 320) Stheno is oncr again bugged to do INSANE dps

(i havent updated from 319 so im gonna abuse this)

[amber mason]

Kraken already kind of OP even without great synergy lol

[proud apex]

Holy War proves that wrong

if it wasnt for the DOT bug of Build 319, I think i wpuld only have Holy War Cleared woth 4 of the other Monsters legitly

[clever slate]

can't wait for them to make extremely hard content only to nerf them later

[toxic jetty]

[proud apex]

Theyve done it twicd already... Still stupidly hard

TECHNICALLY 3 times now because they had to nerf some of the units that showed up during 5-14

[amber mason]

@proud apex I played some Dungeon Squad on the airplane recently and made it to world 5 but got melted by Thor and Loki. No idea what happened

[proud apex]

Was this your first W5 attempt?

also THIS THREAD LIIIIVES! @amber mason

[amber mason]

I don't remember but it's been a long time

lol

[proud apex]

lol XD

you can blame this @amber mason

Lazy Loki instantly starts doing DOT damage the second the fight starts, Starting Barrier is very powerful to defend against that

That's IF you have "Reinforcements" trial active

if you didn't have that trial active, it was just Thor's own DOT getting faster and faster as the fight goes on

[amber mason]

Yeah I did... man, so I guess barrier is mandatory then?

[proud apex]

its ALWAYS mandatory

Its the big savior of your W5 runs to keep yourself from getting one tapped at the start of almost each stage

its espeically mandatory if you ever do Holy War

which is harder than normal W5

[amber mason]

What are the best barriers?

[proud apex]

Shield Ring + Shield Necklace Combo

preferable have it on ONE character who will for sure be support

( Cerberus / Chimera )

This would be a good example... ignore the relics since i'm sure you don't have access to that YET

[clever slate]

New hound and kraken skin is 🔥

[amber mason]

I unlocked the ability to get relices but haven't found any

Also what do you think of Baphomet

[proud apex]

@amber mason She is Kraken's best friend, and actually makes Kraken very good for dark teams

Relics are uncommon outside of Holy War mode

But they can show up so long as the character has points invested in "Transcendance"

[amber mason]

Yeah, I tried a cold/dark team featuring them, but then I threw in some fire because I got Legendary Horus temperament on Diablo lol

[proud apex]

~~ Oh right Corrupted Peace exists now btw~~

Here's a mini guide to Bapho

Frozen Touch is the go-to Mastery for her basic gun, the explosion damage from it spikes her damage hard, she starts doing Kraken's levels of clearing with just her basic gun

Pain Curse's chosen passive is the only really good on there... it just increases the damage enemies take more and more as long as Bapho hits them

Soul Storm - The +60% power can be good if you can make up for the duration being shorter... Soul Shield is pretty garbage... Ravenous Soul is just better

Bleak Soul - 25% Dark and Ice is really good, makes Kraken a member of team dark, and makes Dark Build Diablo part of Team Ice... also basically gives them both benefits from the Bleak Soul Passive which just boosts anyone with both Dark and Ice

HOWEVER... this is post Bleak Soul Nerf, before it was 50% for both Ice Dark, was definitely busted... so now some people opt to boost Ravonous Soul Damage with the 3rd passive... Doesn't make the 25% Dark Ice a non viable option though...

Death Scythe - Really cool animation and also very huge range... Does good damage... DO NOT TAKE Explosive Scythe ... The "Life Explosion" only happens rarely during the scythe attack and is not worth it... Decay Scythe is much better and can be a hood assist for Jor

(Could you delete that Loki Screen shot that's not supposed to be there XD)

The Passive choice for scythe, the one that increases Scythe Damage to Life lost is best... the first option CAN BE GOOD... if your team has a lot of investment in skill level...

I hear almost no one talk about Darkness Impulse Mastery with Soul Explusion... doesn't make much of a difference in damage from what i've seen... But Chain Expulsion is INSANELY good... definitely a mob clearing skill... even works when she is dead since it works via cooldown... For the passive, the first option is the best one... guerentees the entire team keeps the buff once the stack hits 20... you really can't go wrong with it

For Bapho... Soul Storm is the required skill for the passive... you can't go wrong with it... Your third skill can be Scythe or Expulsion... Don't bother with Pentagram curse, it sucks... a very crap AOE skill

About the Relics

• These are specific to Holy War Trial... can make big changes to your run... HOWEVER outside of Holy War they are pretty uncommon... you might see one or two in the middle of a normal Trial Run, but if you have Holy War Active and invested the points into your character they are guerenteed to show up depending on the level you have on your character...

Personally I have it leveled to guarantee relics up till world 2, and leave the 4th possible relic up to chance for world 3-4 (you can only carry 4 anyway so maxing this out is kinda pointless)

[clever slate]

there's Corrupted Peace now ?

how long i've stop playing this

[proud apex]

She's definitely here... but she runs into the big issue everyone was worried about, you get her EXTREMELY late

[clever slate]

oh hey she got more cloths than she was normally

[proud apex]

We also got another Dark God who's ability is Reduce Firing Speed to Abysmal Levels But... You now hit like a truck

[clever slate]

would it affect DoT ?

[proud apex]

There is a NonAmmo version that makes the cooldown twice as long but do a lot more damage, however I don't know how useful it actually is as I almost never used it

[amber mason]

Yeah I wasn't a fan of soul storm but that passive seems quite good. But I did end up taking pentagram curse lol

[amber mason]

I wish you could choose the corrupted acolytes as starters once you corrupt them, that would solve everything

[proud apex]

No yeah thats everyone's current complaint... honestly curious how they tackle this once Brave is corruptable

not much talk on Pentagram curse from anyone, some people make it work, other people just ignore it for the good passives from the other skills

[amber mason]

Been so busy with so many things, just haven't been playing this much, but it's easily one of the best offline games I can play lol

[proud apex]

this and Vampire Survivor

[proud apex]

@amber mason Looking forward to you trying this goofy relic out

This relic gives a large stat boost to every stat your team has... HOWEVER... everyone is locked to only two active skills (they can still get benefits of a 3rd passive)

[amber mason]

Feels like it could be worth it tbh

[proud apex]

It had to get nerfed actually cause it was BUSTED

• Ambidextrous
  • All monsters can only gain up to 2 active skills, but their Power, Skill Acceleration, and Endure are increased by 50% → 35%, and Cooldown Reduction is increased by 33% → 20%.

This was a very insane relic that broke the game in terms of everyone's performance

Even with the nerf it's still pretty good

[amber mason]

Lol 50% is substantial especially for power

[proud apex]

it was a huge differnece maker in Holy War Runs

the way it works is as it stats, only TWO actives work (your main gun and whatever you pick for your 2nd active)

but your third active does not work at all... You still choose your third active skill, but whatever attributes you take for it is completely irrelevant

despite the third active not being usable it still counts towards overall buffs and team skills etc etc

passives are not afrected by the limited factor of Abidex

[amber mason]

Oh that's not actually too bad then

[proud apex]

It's really not, but then you gotta be mindful of what your second skill is gonna be...

Like... You don't want Kraken to be stuck with Tsunami as her second skill... you'd prefer Tent Strike or Tent River or even Wave Orb

[proud apex]

https://gamecoaster.notion.site/v1-04-0-Build-337-cb9e1e7b168b491d943df2f2f1ac37fc?pvs=4

after like... 2-3 months of no content

Droidbois in the beta program get first dibs on update

[proud apex]

Hello This is a Game Coaster.

Pre-distribution of Season 3 will begin along with the official distribution of Season 2.

Season 3 is the final season that marks the end of Dungeon Squad.
Overall game improvements and optimizations, Stage 4 corruption, new demons, new trials, prologue, and ending will be added.

In the pre-release of Season 3, content excluding Stage 4 Corruption will be updated first,
Stage 4 corruption, new demons, and other improvements will be included sequentially until official distribution.

After Season 3, the Dungeon Squad project is scheduled to enter the maintenance phase.
Depending on the internal situation, small-scale content may be added, but medium-sized content such as seasons will not be updated.
We will do our best to include more improvements and content until the official release of Season 3.

This update will be distributed first to the Play Store public test channel.
It is scheduled to be released on official channels and the App Store (iOS) in the future.

Thank you

And so marks the beginning of the end

[amber mason]

I appreciate a mobile game developer that actually finishes their game

[proud apex]

@amber mason lots of changes... also the Seasonal Skin basically requires you to GET GOOD... cause Season Skin Pegasus is locked behind Holy Trials

theres a few new throw away trials to make it easier though

[amber mason]

It seems like the pattern is mainly that something starts off impossible and then they make it easier, so here's hoping lol

[proud apex]

I mean... They did add a "Babymode"

Basically theres a
"Backstab" Run
"Adversary" Run
and "Pride" Run

Backstab basically nerfs the heroes regardless of the difficulty

Adversary is normal

and Pride makes the run even harder

so Holy Backstab Run is a thing

[proud apex]

@amber mason incase you havent, Dungeon Squad got a new update, W4 and Brave Apostle are now corruptable

Corrupted Brave is busted good off the bat

[amber mason]

She better be

since that's like almost at the end lol

[proud apex]

@amber mason

She is the first MAIN Holy attacker... all her skills are holy based... one of her passive abilities can either hard nerf dark damage and hyper boost Holy damage, OR convert all Dark Damage to Holy

IF you got it... there is an upgrade for Stones that can let you use corrupted acolytes at the start for a cost

Pretty much the bandaid to Peace and Brave being like end of run characters

[clever slate]

awooga

[proud apex]

Btw this is the LAST major update... we are done

They are just gonna release two more monsters and that's it

[clever slate]

For $5

Worth it as a game

[amber mason]

Honestly I kinda wish more mobile games released a paid but complete experience like the dungeon series

It's just not as popular of a business model on mobile

[clever slate]

cuz it made no munni

[proud apex]

SO

https://fxtwitter.com/Gamecoaster_TWT/status/1730124909781954827/photo/1

there was a vote for the next two monsters

Whoever lost, their design got trashed

https://fxtwitter.com/Gamecoaster_TWT/status/1730751300898574699

[clever slate]

damn

i hate it whenever pull shit like this

[proud apex]

https://fxtwitter.com/Gamecoaster_TWT/status/1730229446509048017?s=20

https://fxtwitter.com/Gamecoaster_TWT/status/1730832921177760186?s=20

[clever slate]

new monster ?

[proud apex]

Two of them

the votes were
Raijin or Kitsune / Kitsune won
Surtr or Beholder / Beholder won

Kitsune and Beholder are the last monsters to be added and thus, ending development of the game

[amber mason]

Fox girls always win

[amber mason]

@proud apex if I play on backstab difficulty will I still get trial rewards

[proud apex]

yes @amber mason super late messagge i know XD

[amber mason]

Oh that's nice

[proud apex]

Alot of the weapons also changed in how they work, like Book Sword which was just universally the best is now part support item and not necessarily needed on every person

Gumiho/Kitsune might have one of the best horni skin ever

[amber mason]

Yeah feels like a lot of stuff got tweaked, I think I'm going to have to do a lot of rediscovering

[proud apex]

For sure

You gotta discover this beauty

The game turned into Nikke

[amber mason]

There's even jiggle physics

[clever slate]

goddamn

[amber mason]

@proud apex look at my two new corrupted heroes

[proud apex]

@amber mason what you want me to see?

You're flexing on the wrong guy XD

(Points at top row

[amber mason]

To be fair this is only the second run I've done since before kitsune/beholder

lol

[proud apex]

So i'll say this right now, Enki is not that great

Her main skill is "support" so she won't be attacking unless she gets an attacking skill

[amber mason]

trial of truth is 12,000 souls?!

jesus christ

[proud apex]

Emil though is pretty great

[amber mason]

What an achievement

[proud apex]

oh yeah, enjoy the upgrades

Now do 15 trials

for 15k souls

[proud apex]

Damn i'm actually shocked you did as well as you did.... Though atleast it wasn't Holy War 5-13 so actually I can see how you made it through

Kraken: Actually built fine, would change out Tsunami for Tentacle Strike since Tsunami got nerfed even more and just doesn't perform well

Diablo: Barrier GOOD Crystal Ring, Not Bad, Magic Book? Naaah... either give her Double Ring, or Crystal Sword to boost everyone's else damage, Double Crystal would also be a good option

Bapho: Golden Necklace is fine, Sword Book is always good, Crystal Book, EHH would've been better if you gave her Soul Storm AND Scythe since then she gets full benefits with all her moves being Range

Chimera: Great Items, BUT that Ruby Crystal (Mana Slate) Shouls only be on her if she is gonna have the highest attack with Fusion to boost everyone...

Cerberus: ... Eww... The only good item on her is Greatsword, Temp doesn't do her much favors, and Sheild definitely doesn't help her by much... If you took Bombarbment, you for sure should've taken Bomber Passive to help the whole team do better damage

[clever slate]

Guys what do I need to know to catch up with the game

Everything looks so different now

[proud apex]

@clever slate Well... that's a broad question XD

A lot of builds have changed up

a lot of passives are different

even attributes on character moves are changed

[clever slate]

Oh god

Passive and attribute are now diff ?

[proud apex]

Like now you can't mix Diablo to Fire Dark since she is forced to take Dark Orb for Dark damage boost and Blaze for fire boost

Apocalypse no longer has Dark Damage, is strictly Fire

[clever slate]

Damn I wonder if I can do trial of truth with Kraken anymore

[proud apex]

Oh easily

she is still really good

[clever slate]

but can I still do it with Jor, Cer, Diablo and Hound ?

That was I did with previous run

[proud apex]

I mean yeah, Cer Diablo Hound are key to fire teams

Chimera still pitches in with her own buff to fire

[proud apex]

You can take Medusa who will get fire from Hound thanks to Fire Claw adding fire to physical and all of Medusa's attacks are physical

DAMN VINTAGE VICTORY SCREEN

[clever slate]

It's different now?

[proud apex]

Look up

[clever slate]

Oh dear, this is the victory screen now ?

[proud apex]

Yup, a lot more detailed

[clever slate]

Yea, that is a very useful victory screen for other

[proud apex]

Anyway, Universal Item Build for Diablo usually is
Crystal Sword
Ring Ring
Crystal Crystal
Diablo is all range damage so all of that just benefits her and the Crystal Sword helps the whole team

[clever slate]

Icic

[proud apex]

If you give Ring Sheild to ANYONE, make sure they focus AP

so like for Diablo, you can trade damage from Crystal Sword and give her Ring Shield since Diablo's will naturally have high AP

Jor is all attack, so that Ring Shield will get busted down very fast since it won't have much

[clever slate]

I see

It was really a desperate measure

Since I can't remove the item from Diablo

I realized I fucked up when I saw Diablo with 3 item slot and no ring shield

[proud apex]

Sword Book is practically something you always go to for anyone

anyone can take that, preferable someone with two or more ammo skills to proc it often over someone with One Ammo Skill

[clever slate]

Icic

[proud apex]

This is a good example of good build

Chimera has High AP so she gets Shield, A lot of this team has Physical Damage so giving Chimera, Cerberus and Pegasus Greatsword does them a lot of favors

Greatsword adds ATK% per physical skill the whole team has

This team had 9/15 Physical Skills so pretty much anyone who had it got 36% extra ATK stat

I can go over a lot of things XD there's so much to cover

[clever slate]

[amber mason]

I did play on the easy difficulty

[amber mason]

My usual issue is that I'm not patient/lucky enough to wait for optimal equips. Also the early game is rough with all the trials active so I was going for every boost I could get.

Similarly I didn't even really want Cerberus but it was better than nothing

[proud apex]

Well the advice for Cerberus still stands, even if you didn't intend on getting her

You could run Cerberus with Hell Thron and Bombarbment and make her support range, would help a ton with that team since a lot of that team is Range to begin with

[clever slate]

Eait there's corrupted br@ve apostole ?

How are you gonna make her up to spec on 5-1 for 5-12

[proud apex]

There's an upgrade that lets you get corrupted apostles at the start at the cost of their Power being -50% until you kill their original selves

Brave and Peace though can actually still do really well despite being at half power for the whole run

[clever slate]

Ohh, thats powerful

[proud apex]

Brave is very good and very powerful for a Holy team setup

and Peace is Jor and Titans Best friend

[clever slate]

you need to obtain her first hand to unlock her right ?

[proud apex]

you need to get her atleast once yes

[clever slate]

can you even do that without trial of truth ?

[proud apex]

yes you can, all heroes can be corrupted so no reason you shouldent be able

[clever slate]

No like isn't brave prisoner can only be obtained at the end for you corrupt ?

Like 4-12 or something

If you don't have the trial enabled how are you gonna corrupt her ?

[proud apex]

Oh well yeah, you wont get her unlocked unless you do World 5

cause thetes no way youll get her meter down after 4-12

[clever slate]

[amber mason]

On god I cannot get another monster to show up

[amber mason]

Dude fuck me Jesus Christ

[amber mason]

Fucking hell that was not easy

Even on the lower difficulty

[proud apex]

LE YUP thats Holy War for you @amber mason

[amber mason]

The glowing lady is hard as fuck

[proud apex]

Supposedly there's a joke where that's Luca from Dungeon Maker

But yes, so Luca's gimmick is she has the ability of all the Awoken Bosses's abilities on each phase... so phase one, she is Greed, Phase 2 she is Lust, etc etc... then final phase when she is on her own she is all 4 bosses in one

add to it, she has her own attack which just one shots anyone after a certain period of time... having your corrupt heroes for the last stage is pretty crucial

[amber mason]

Yeah the lightning bolt is brutal, you don't wanna drag that fight out

[proud apex]

Nope, but there is apparently turtle builds that actually survive

but I don't do that, i'm a gorilla

@amber mason word of advice with Abundance now, they MURDERED her barrier skill... it's actually crap now and hardly a usable

most of us in the server have adopted using Scythe / Orb now

Emma is also riskier to use because it adds more cooldown / reload speed, and the damage payoff got nerfed into the ground

Viper or Elizabeth are great blessings for Ammo

[amber mason]

man, that sucks, it was a very unique skill.

[proud apex]

so the issue is, what was once a abusable 4 or even lower sec cooldown barrier

it's pretty much hard locked to be over 7 seconds

You're better off going full unga and doing Scythe and relying on the passive physical damage to proc it

Greed Orb can give everyone Physical hence why ppl run Scythe Orb

when you have Abundance on your team you definitely want to abuse Chimera with fusion, you can get bonkers stats like this

Since Abundance can give Physical to every element, you get full 15/15 buff from Greatsword and Fusion on Chimera increases ATK even higher leading to above... give her a Mana Slate, and pretty much 35% of Chimera's attack is now also added to everyone else's ATK

[amber mason]

Got a baphomet with legendary luna temperament

nice RNG

[amber mason]

You love to see it

[proud apex]

I love to see that well built Kraken and Diablo

@amber mason

[amber mason]

Did it all on my own

[proud apex]

@amber mason So do you have the uograde that lets you select the Corrupt Apostles at the start?

[amber mason]

I do now, but I can't select any of them for some reason

[proud apex]

I believe now you have to invest in their own menu

[proud apex]

Just like how you boost the defualt attribute of the monsters you need to do the same with the Apostles to where you can freely select them at the start

[amber mason]

How far do I have to boost them

I didn't see anything like that in their upgrade list

[proud apex]

@amber mason check their Menu where you upgrade their temp on the Corrupted Sanctum

like the screen where you can add blood to their stats

i wasnt 100% sure but now i got comfirmation

[amber mason]

Ah ok

[amber mason]

Unlocked baphomet and Jorm skin

[clever slate]

Hot

[proud apex]

Let's goooooo

Big sword hype

[amber mason]

Having unlocked baphomet, it was really weird to do a holy run with no trial modifiers

stupid easy

but you love to get those first time clear rewards

[proud apex]

yeah felt weird when I did it with Beholder and Kitsune, just felt so much slower

[amber mason]

I feel like flame has a huge advantage in terms of available temperaments

https://tenor.com/view/steven-he-emotional-damage-steven-he-emotional-damage-gif-23428142

[amber mason]

No idea why this worked

[proud apex]

what the hell... why are you getting so little rewards?

like your soul / slab count should be hitting atleast 1k im sure

[amber mason]

I'm doing the lower difficulty, plus I'm not selecting such rewards until world 5 mostly

Also when you buy buffs and stuff at the beginning it lowers your count too

My smelt buffs are also relatively low

[proud apex]

Yeah i'd start investing in that honestly...

I can't hold all these lgendaries... (and that's considering i destroyed like 3 more on the way to the end)

[clever slate]

Is this a rich problem that I'm too poor to understand ?

[proud apex]

No it's just i kept getting stupid lucky on the legendaries

[amber mason]

Yeah this happens to me every once in awhile too. TBH disarmers are kind of useless... If you don't end up getting them at like the exact right time it's either too early for you to need to disarm anyone or so late that even if you disarm someone you don't have time to re-optimize their equipment

[proud apex]

its happened plenty of times to me where im hoping for a Disarmer in World 5's shop before Luca/??? Fight only to not get it, leavinng me eith a legendary item that could be more useful than the current one in the storage

[amber mason]

@proud apex had a long flight and played a long of DS

Pulled out a clutch win in that last one despite some truly terrible equipment availability

[amber mason]

This is the good stuff

[amber mason]

I think this is the first time I've ever gotten the greed acolyte as a prisoner

[proud apex]

The only good ones are Lazy and Pride

and by technicality Lust if you have a lot of pleasure / desert temps

their temps are stupid rare... almost not worth considering building around

[amber mason]

Yeah honestly I didn't think they dropped at all lol

[amber mason]

@proud apex what does Union of Light trial actually do

[proud apex]

So thats technicaly Endgame like True Endgame

no wait thats total war

[proud apex]

So Union of Light makes Heroes from the next world appear in whereever you currently are, example you woll start seeing World 2 Enemies in 1-5 and up

in World 2 youll see World 3 Enemies at the very start of World 2 till the end

It makes the run alot harder in the beginning because youre dealing with the rush that you expect of World 2 in World 1-5 right after the mini boss so if you dont have a mastery that has good ricochet/crowd controll, youre pretty fucked

BUT that also means the chance of getting a really good temp earlier

The real kicker is that during W5 EVERY world boss shows up during the fight, so while you are going through you suddenly will get attacked by Abundance, Joy, Peace, and Brave all the way through 5-1 to 5-14

[amber mason]

Ah, interesting. Yeah I got wrecked a few times early game and I couldn't figure out why lol

I also feel like enemies are faster?

[proud apex]

that depends

if youre playing "Pride" Holy then yeah they are faster

But if youre doing "Backstab" Holy that shouldent be the case

or its jsut the expected W2 Hero rush that you might be feeling overwhelemed by

[amber mason]

I'm doing pride holy

[amber mason]

The end of this was a little dicier than I was hoping but still nice

[amber mason]

Baller

[proud apex]

ouef, Peace had the worst skills you could give her XD

but hey you still won

[amber mason]

I actually like all of peace's skills tbh

They're all neat

But also those are the ones that have lightning damage on them natively

[amber mason]

Also how is this passive skill attribute not awesome lol?

[proud apex]

It IS good... but... im a guy who runs Galexy Slash and Beam

and with Gumiho, Slash triggers VERY often

especially if you gave Gumiho her Lightning added to Holy/Holy added to Lightning

[amber mason]

Oh you pick up galaxy slash for doom covenant

That makes sense

But I think I'd still keep void star

It's also quite nice early game because it wipes all the small enemies easily and makes it so their teleports don't matter
