ab is more complex

compact wasp
#

ye and that just naturally makes you faster

Mother's day is today, and I didn't buy anything for her
I hate not having a job

bold belfry
foggy sable
#

I've never tried to be faster, just more consistent

compact wasp
#

ye speed is passive

foggy sable
#

and it just happens that the two are aligned

compact wasp
#

accuracy is everything

just spend time with her

compact wasp

#

I also haven't been given much actual advice for the fight besides look at other people who play more aggressively which tend to be speedrunners. Like. That's the footage I find for the most part.

Also punish every attack? It feels like I already do.

Which doesn't super help
Because I see all that footage and go "wow that's a lot of stuff that happened in 30 seconds. I don't know how to replicate even 60% of that consistently".

compact wasp
winter yacht
#

It's overwhelming

compact wasp
#

you are just shielding so hard against it that you won't let us talk

bold belfry
#

i hate uuwuu

frozen storm
#

I know I know I just wanted to have something cool to give her because I never did anything like that

compact wasp
#

or using cyclone slash to double hit the minions to insta kill them, and using descending dark to kill minions in the last phase

#

and how to intercept collector with an abyss shriek mid air for damage

#

that's how we speed things up without top player stuff

frozen storm
#

I just realized I learned most strats by my own

#

I learned PV shriek by myself

compact wasp
#

and knowing how to do soul management to instantly land spells when needed based on opening

#

to master quick cast etc

#

idk dude we are trying to help you, but its just not been fun talking to someone who sounds so defeated

#

and doesn't even entertain the idea of learning new strategies

#

that's how its coming across atleast

winter yacht
#

It's kinda hard to feel hopeful when you've been throwing yourself at the same wall for 5 years. =_=

compact wasp
#

well, we are doing this because its fun

#

its not a chore

#

its fun to get better at bosses for us and to optimize things to become better

frozen storm
compact wasp
#

winning just comes on its own

compact wasp
frozen storm
#

Which is why it's important to take breaks

frozen storm
compact wasp
#

that is how I could do so much in 200 hours

#

I loved learning new things

frozen storm
#

Taking breaks is pretty good

compact wasp
#

I am still excited about this server teaching me new things about each boss

#

its just satisfying to get better and see how far you can go

frozen storm
#

I think I can get p5ab before the year ends

compact wasp
#

honestly same

frozen storm
#

My biggest limitation is my hardware

compact wasp
#

which sounds outlandish now that I say it out loud that I could even dream of p5ab

compact wasp
#

or work around that

frozen storm
#

Pretty hard

#

Again, I have no job

compact wasp
#

what's the issue with the hardware?

frozen storm
compact wasp
frozen storm
#

I still think it's impressive that I did P5 with 25 fps on average

frozen storm
#

Holy laggy boss

compact wasp
#

...sly was a slyde show

frozen storm
#

Stupid candles

frozen storm
winter yacht
#

I usually try to optimize for consistency over speed and it does show tbh
I can win most any fight with minimal damage taken, often 0 because I try hard to prioritize knowing pretty much every pattern of chaos to control for
I don't do attempts on a pantheon until I can beat each boss in it at least 6 times in a row with 90% health remaining.

I've taken year long breaks occasionally in my 5 odd years of playing. I come back, realize I still can't, and quit again.

I appreciate the advice, I'm just feeling kinda dead and tired of hearing that stupid laugh

compact wasp
#

do you want me to explain how?

winter yacht
#

Still dunno why Zote is easier than Collector AB for me but it is what it is

frozen storm
#

Silksong is there

winter yacht
#

I don't know why Zote is fine

winter yacht
frozen storm
winter yacht
#

There's that, but I have heard people say GPZ is worse and I just don't get it

frozen storm
#

Ab zotelings die in 2 nail hits right

compact wasp
# winter yacht I don't know why Zote is fine

but ye gwyn, we aren't actually trying to go fast. In fact trying to actually go fast is the fastest way to death in all bindings. NEVER try to go fast. But instead, its much more about slower compounding speed. You learn to punish one attack better than before, and then add more. So naturally you reach a point where you can punish the boss every single time it decides to breathe in your direction. That automatically makes you faster. What you are saying implies you NEVER tried to get better in punishing the boss everytime. Its about accuracy. Speed is just muscle memory.

#

no joke you won't get past gruzmother in ab if you try to go fast lol

compact wasp
frozen storm
#

It's something like this

compact wasp
#

gui, I don't mean to be rude but why is that handwriting so bad

frozen storm
compact wasp
#

did you never have classes to teach you about writing spacing?

frozen storm
frozen storm
#

I can write well if I do it slow

#

I just write extremely fast

compact wasp
#

speed is not harmed by that

#

and actually be on the line

frozen storm
#

Again, I don't care

compact wasp
#

ye that makes sense

#

sorry stuff like this just mattered a lot in our school

#

even influenced our final grades

frozen storm
#

If I did care, look at this

#

It's just ugly because I wanna finish it already

frozen storm
winter yacht
#

Ah
So I think I got kinda misunderstood? I still try and get better at punishing attacks. Fun fact, I used to wait out PV staggers because I tried nail slaps at first and got bapped by him standing up so I switched to ddark because it's safer and also more damage. But I don't do swaps for riskier moves like that. I don't think that's a great idea because it tanks consistency. I'd rather go back to a default "do nothing" than insert a risky/greedy attack because that means dying

I want to attack more. I'm iffy on risky strats though

compact wasp
#

so that opens up attack opportunities you didn't know?

#

but ye its not really about greed

#

cuz by that logic I am greedy and I am the opposite of greed

#

I would rather die than greed hits

winter yacht
#

They do look slower... I thought it was just me being calmer and knowledgeable rather than panicking

compact wasp
#

but 60 minutes for base p5 is unironically just kinda bad. You can do so much better. Heck you can try remotely more and you will do better. 60 minutes is just genuinely too horrendous to start thinking about p5ab

rustic salmon
winter yacht
#

I've noticed that they look fast again when I come back from a break being rusty

frozen storm
winter yacht
#

I thought it was the rust

compact wasp
#

the bosses just look slow enough to them to see opportunities that we can't yet

rustic salmon
compact wasp
#

that is just what practice does

rustic salmon
#

your's is much better than that

frozen storm
#

Also fuck writing in any ways that's not cursive

winter yacht
frozen storm
#

Its just so damn slow

compact wasp
#

then why are you trying for p5ab right now if you can't consistently beat p5

rustic salmon
compact wasp
#

that sounds like throwing yourself into the depths of hell

#

derust with normal p5 first

winter yacht
#

I can beat P5 consistently
I haven't done any recently

frozen storm
#

I can do P5 consistently if I have high fps

rustic salmon
compact wasp
#

and do you have radiant hall of gods?

winter yacht
frozen storm
compact wasp
winter yacht
rustic salmon
#

p5 consistency is so far from p5ab imo, i cannot forsee dying on p5, but im ass with ab

rustic salmon
compact wasp
#

jesus

rustic salmon
#

i like randos

compact wasp
#

I feel better about myself and that kinda makes me feel bad

#

cuz I can do p1ab to p4ab in a row now

umbral night
#

Fingers were a bit stiff today but
It was ok
The strats are in place, now it's just the execution

rustic salmon
#

nice

compact wasp
#

p5ab just broke me so fucking hard

winter yacht
#

I have a lot of big names Radiant-ed at least
Because I like the fun ones

#

But I don't Radiant fucking Gorb

#

Or Marmu
Or God Tamer

compact wasp
rustic salmon
winter yacht
#

So 3 I'm generally good at.
1 that haunts me

compact wasp
#

oh do you have toggleable bindings?

winter yacht
#

Yea

compact wasp
#

to practice?

winter yacht
#

I use it to practice

compact wasp
#

have you beaten absrad all bindings?

bitter jolt
compact wasp
rustic salmon
foggy sable
frozen storm
winter yacht
#

I did that because I got annoyed with Collector, yes

compact wasp
#

do you not use cyclone against collector?

bitter jolt
#

hi @rustic salmon @frozen storm hru

bitter jolt
#

itll make ab seem worse

rustic salmon
umbral night
compact wasp
#

anyways, in ab in p5 if you can consistently no hit hive knight and elder hu, you should have 7 masks at the VERY least going to collector

#

more like 9

bitter jolt
compact wasp
#

ye 5 + 4 is 9

#

I can do math

rustic salmon

#

hey end

foggy sable
compact wasp
#

double pogo

naive dew
#

yayyyy im good

bitter jolt
foggy sable
#

if you learn to fight collector properly it is fine

compact wasp
#

you did tell me it was too hard for me to learn back then

naive dew
#

@foggy sable

delicate coral
winter yacht
tawdry bolt
compact wasp
#

might try now idk

foggy sable
#

you have to be aware of falling placements, I think for p5ab cyclone is easier to learn

compact wasp
#

i actually haven't lost a single run to collector since the first ever p5ab run

foggy sable
#

but double pogo is more consistent

winter yacht
#

Great Slash and Dash Slash are my goats
Cyclone is... ugh.

bitter jolt
compact wasp
#

I think I am going to proud of that

foggy sable
#

so if you don't die to collector no real reason to change

compact wasp
#

well he eats my masks

#

it would be good to carry my lifeblood masks

#

after him

#

so I do have a reason to learn

foggy sable
#

also that pantheon includes 9 clears hitless in a row which I am a bit proud of

compact wasp
#

hell yeah

compact wasp
#

you have to admit that part

foggy sable
#

it does

winter yacht
#

A pantheon that's only Collector agoneyes

#

My nightmare

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

tbh I learnt the strat in that pantheon so the first like 10-20 fights are me learning

compact wasp
#

shit I thought was beyond human is apparently casual to her

#

but trying pantheons is also why variety streams are boring to watch now

#

and ONE MORE P5 STREAM IN THE CATEGORY IS NON ENGLISH

#

WHY??

foggy sable
#

I should stream some p5ab either in discord or somewhere else tbh

compact wasp
#

are english streamers allergic to getting good??

#

what's going on?

tawdry bolt
#

I still have to practice collector ab without nail arts

compact wasp
#

more like pb attempt

winter yacht
winter yacht
#

What

compact wasp
#

they don't even TOUCH godhome many times

#

idk why its so rampant in english variety streamers that being bad at games is content

#

maybe its the culture which I am just not a part of

#

becaues they think doing pantheons is masochistic

foggy sable
#

there were a lot of english r5 runners a while ago

#

but then silksong came out

bitter jolt
#

lol

compact wasp
#

I think I will be a part of hitless pantheons of silksong when it comes out

#

For the first time I won't be late to the party lol

winter yacht
#

I don't stream because I'm not good at games and I'm a really slow learner and it'd be painful to subject people to my actual dumbassery. Trust me. It'll just be frustrating to watch. I laugh at myself a lot

Ex: So I first try the Loretta fight in Elden Ring by the way of: bonk stick OP plz nerf. There's a platform with a chest on it. I open the chest. I turn around to leave and miss the ladder and jump off the ledge and die.

#

I've managed to miss that ladder in subsequent playthroughs where I remember OH THAT LADDER when already falling

compact wasp
compact wasp
#

A better word would be a reluctant learner

#

Remember that you are doing p5ab.

#

This isn't a simple target of feat

winter yacht

compact wasp
#

Just not in a row

frozen storm
#

Ok my cousin got to 50% Grimm that's nice

winter yacht
#

I think I have around 700 HK hours. 100 of that is dedicated to Collector AB. So 600 hours to REACH p5AB.

rustic salmon
#

most achievements get overlooked cause the ceiling of ppl skill her is just that high, like p5ab is so far out of reach for most people playing the game, but some1 would come here and see greyfire attempting r5ab, and think thats normal

compact wasp
#

Just push it more and you will improve more

rustic salmon
#

the truth is anything past 112 can be considered quite difficult from a non biased standpoint

compact wasp

Yea it was
But I played Celeste before that for 600 hours because I really like to win out of spite towards myself
And I played a lot of Crypt of the Necrodancer before Celeste

#

7A is the longest I've been working on so far and my PB is a 1 death run.

#

I'm sleepy and mixing up letters. I do mean 7A

rustic salmon
#

7a is bad

#

so damn long

compact wasp
#

Oh I did play celeste a lot

winter yacht
#

I can probably get 7A gold pretty easily with my new keyboard because my one death was caused by my left arrow key choosing to fail at an annoying time

#

On my old and dying keyboard

umbral night
#

Whats the keyboard? Linear switches?

winter yacht
#

Old keyboard is a now dying Razer Blackwidow

New bitch is a Keychron I shoved Kailh Whites into because I like light and clicky

umbral night
#

Nice

rustic salmon
winter yacht
#

I was struggling in Silksong because my arrow keys were dying. The switch itself was dying and not responding anymore. So I'd hit left to turn and move and Hornet would not do that, often leading to unfortunate deaths

this just looks like a crayon scratch of a boss

winter yacht
#

Crawled my way through act 2 while fighting the strongest boss in the game at all times: a dying razer keyboard you can't fix because it's a delicate lil spider

I can take some pride in that

forgetting to demod is so sad

bitter jolt
foggy sable

I run hitless without mods like godseeker+

Yea
Just noting my keyboard issues affecting that game a lot as well as Celeste

Because I decided to use the same keybinds for every 2D platformer

why.

Including the failing arrow keys

not that I want to see it given the description

Radiant or r5

#

Also curious what you overcharmed with.

empty lynx
#

40 hits or something it was per stagger

worthy peak
nova locust
worthy peak
#

though you could reasonably deal 135 damage exxtra on getup

red cliff
#

somehow did p5 soul binding in one attempt

worthy peak
nova locust
nova locust
worthy peak
red cliff
#

2 more bindings until i have all the bindings... charmless is gonna be a hassle

nova locust
nova quest
#

i can fix him

nova locust
#

tbh i forgot how tanky FC was

worthy peak
wild sierra
#

Fish

nova locust
#

sucks its gated behind an obnoxous area

worthy peak
#

suprisingly i found that it was easier if i overcharmed with it then just not have it

nova locust
#

overcharmed js makes people play better atp

worthy peak
#

in this case i think it was th fact the first phase was like twice as short, the first phase being the main difficulty...

#

im calling it a phase but i shouldnt...

compact wasp
#

I already have radhog

#

I wonder if I should redo it a few times as practice

foggy sable
#

don't you just like hit with the nail in r5

#

and they just die

compact wasp
#

idk why but its like an inevitablity that I get hit there

#

there are a few bosses like that

#

watcher knights, oro and mato, marmu(fuck this ball), oblobbles

#

where i am sorta destined to get hit

#

surprisingly markoth is not a problem anymore

#

the dude just disintegrates in full gear

#

neither is zote

#

its these idiots

worthy peak
broken heart
#

like ESPECIALLY with watcher knights if they're in sync

compact wasp
#

can redo radhog in 3 hours but gets hit to watchers

#

what in the actual hell lmao

#

what is this weird curse

worthy peak
foggy sable
#

I would say do something like 04r or rab watcher knights

#

learn how to handle them both being alive at once

worthy peak
compact wasp
#

or should I do just some randoms for a bit

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

it is a fight where you just lose track of them so even if you don't go all the way and do 04 or 04r just being in the fight for a long time you will learn how to track both at once

compact wasp
#

honestly nothing else has been that bad

worthy peak
#

imo

compact wasp
#

you consider anyrad fun

worthy peak
compact wasp
#

btw why did you give up on r5?

worthy peak
worthy peak
#

I just like decided it wasnt worth it

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

when I start taking hits I often just pause the game

compact wasp
#

it happens so passively that its hard to even pinpoint what's the mistake

#

interesting

foggy sable
#

or narrow my goals down

#

it is no longer getting a good pantheon but just doing the next boss hitless

compact wasp
#

and what about for p5ab?

foggy sable
#

and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

formal ridge
#

haiiiiiiiithooornnsnssss::33333

foggy sable
#

hiiiiiiii

compact wasp
#

the excitement is contagious

foggy sable
#

for p5ab I just did attempts and things happened

compact wasp
#

actually made me feel rejuvenated

formal ridge
#

lmao

foggy sable
#

low hits is the best comparison and i just pause mid run for a minute and recompose

broken heart
#

tbh i've only done radiant mantis lords n radiant grimm, then i cant do ascended gruz mother, somethings wrong with me 😭

compact wasp
#

makes sense

compact wasp
#

she is just an inconsistent boss

foggy sable
#

especially because things spiral fast and it sucks

broken heart
#

gruz mother feels like anyrad 3.0 absoloute radiance + pure vessel ong ong

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

yep

compact wasp
#

yeah I am expecting a bit too much from myself I guess

foggy sable
#

sometimes it doesn't work but that is okay

#

because sometimes it does

compact wasp
#

Okay I will remember that

#

it does feel rewarding to do any boss hitless in r5 though

#

I will admit that

#

it never really feels boring

foggy sable
#

r5 gets bad when the start is boring

#

the midgame and endgame is never the unfun part

compact wasp
#

I was an uma player. I am used to rerolling things for 19 hours

#

so this is kinda nothing to me

#

its just the first 2 bosses anyway

#

then it gets consistent

foggy sable
#

in r5ab I consider galien the end of earlygame so

compact wasp
#

btw grey why did you even choose to do r5ab?

foggy sable
#

I never really did

compact wasp
#

cuz that is probably like atleast a 100 times harder than base p5ab

foggy sable
#

I was running p5ab low hits just for fun while doing charmless r5

#

and after getting r5 charmless I was just looking for a good p5ab run and ended up with something like a 5 hit

#

I've never tried to grind it out really though

#

same with all the other challenges, I never decide oh I'm going to do x challenge it is always a slow descent

compact wasp
#

I mean

#

you and me both have done fwg

foggy sable
#

I haven't

compact wasp
#

things like that just..happen

compact wasp
foggy sable
#

I was going for it for a bit but hurt my hand and didn't come back to it

compact wasp
#

maybe even get fcg

foggy sable
#

could yes but while I enjoy hk I just keep running it

#

there are always more things to do

quartz cave
#

whats fc

foggy sable
#

full clear

compact wasp
#

golden + moonberry in one run

#

but ye basically full clear golden

quartz cave
#

wait i forgot what happens after u get moonberry

#

do u just walk back or do u spawn back at the start of fwfw

compact wasp
#

you beat the level

quartz cave
#

wait fr? πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦²

compact wasp
#

moonberry room is basically an alternative final room

#

which I would say is much harder than the original final room

#

and is the hardest room of celeste base game

#

probably even beyond 7C

quartz cave
#

i found 7c harder grubthink

#

7c made me rip my hair out

compact wasp
#

ye that was at the start

#

but after finishing both

#

I would say 7C is easier

foggy sable
#

jelly nuetral drops make moonberry easy though

compact wasp
#

ye true

#

and then there's the extra golden room

#

I can't word the amount of nerves that thing brings out of you

foggy sable
#

okay but I'm scared what the nerves at absrad or gpz will be for r5ab

compact wasp
#

probably insanity

foggy sable
#

charmless was already so much

#

although I think it meant more to me than r5ab does

compact wasp
#

oh why?

foggy sable
#

because I tried to grind it out

#

like, 100+ hours

#

and gave up

compact wasp
#

so it is something you thought you couldn't do

#

but then proved yourself wrong

foggy sable
#

and I did it at like 2am on new years

#

it was back when I streamed I basically streamed as much as uni allowed

#

good times but also bad

compact wasp
#

ye that explains why it matters so much

#

that must have felt absolutely phenomenal

foggy sable
#

I actually cried, it meant more than it perhaps should have

#

giving up on it felt so bad

#

basically every feeling of challenge running in that run

smoky matrix
#

It's you.

foggy sable
#

perhaps

compact wasp
#

idk how to even react to that

smoky matrix
#

Wait, did I join at a rather inappropriate time?

compact wasp
#

that feeling is almost unimaginable

foggy sable
#

I wonder how r5ab will be

compact wasp
#

probably the hardest thing you have ever done

smoky matrix
#

Horrid.

foggy sable
#

getting it I mean

compact wasp
#

ye I mean that

foggy sable
#

running it is less bad now I did learning

compact wasp
#

the closest feeling that comes to mind is feeling a weird kind of emptiness

#

almost impossible to understand logically that its over

foggy sable
#

I'll have to find another hobby/thing to run

compact wasp
#

i don't think there would be left in hk after that

smoky matrix
#

Surely 112% APB.

compact wasp
#

except maybe speedrunning

foggy sable
#

I was thinking 107

compact wasp
#

so all but pantheons?

foggy sable
#

yes

#

but that is still ages away

#

maybe if getting runs past collector isn't a fluke less time than ages

compact wasp
#

yeah i can see that

#

i wish hk had something like j

#

sj*

foggy sable
#

true

verbal pasture
foggy sable
#

I imagine it is much harder to mod is the thing

verbal pasture
foggy sable
#

I'd rather not even do p045

verbal pasture
#

Yeah I was joking

foggy sable
#

maybe p045 could be fun though

strong skiff
#

Levi

compact wasp
#

that sounds like suffering

foggy sable
#

just collector and friends

#

it could be fun to learn collector

compact wasp
#

anyways I actually reached marmu in a run without taking a hit

foggy sable
#

r5?

compact wasp
#

so I think I hope that ball just doesn't screw me over

#

ye r5

foggy sable
#

very nice

compact wasp
#

fricking sheo got me

#

but its fine hitless marmu

foggy sable
#

tragic

#

I know a good marmu challenge for learning the fight and not at all suffering

compact wasp
#

no.

foggy sable
#

...not even a maybe..

compact wasp
#

nah I would much rather learn actual basketball

umbral night
#

Oh nice

foggy sable
#

maybe I'll do one nail damage god tamer sometime so I stop being stupid in it

compact wasp
#

STILL GOT HIT BY WATCHERS

#

SMHH

foggy sable
#

I feel like watchers are a binary, either you understand the fight or you don't

#

and all understanding it takes is a hard enough challenge

#

which unfortunately is terrible

compact wasp
#

yk what let's not make this r5. just make it to the end with overcharmed shell binding

#

if I can just do that, I am happy

foggy sable
#

good goal

compact wasp
#

I have never done that before

rich zealot
#

If your doing overcharmed, are you gonna run fury of the fallen and just tank at 1 hp?

compact wasp
#

just make it to the end alive

rich zealot
#

fairs

compact wasp
#

which means I would most likely need to no hit the final three

#

@foggy sable funny enough my first attempt of this ended because I forgot to turn off the inferno king grimm fight

#

so that creature was waiting for me instead of nkg

foggy sable
#

ikg...

rich zealot
foggy sable
#

I did that once

rich zealot
#

so you never have to fight both at the same time

compact wasp
#

i am preparing for r5 not f5

foggy sable
#

you can bait out normal slashes and often just kill straight up

#

but it is a bit random

rich zealot
rain wadi
#

What are y'all talking about?

foggy sable
rich zealot
rain wadi
rich zealot
#

im preparing for that too lol

foggy sable
#

it is truly a run

rain wadi
rich zealot
rain wadi
rich zealot
#

lmao

compact wasp
#

okay holy shit hitless no eyes

#

one more mind block gone

rich zealot
#

right now im doing hitless trial of fools

rain wadi
rich zealot
#

but with all bindings on too

#

and zero spells and upgrades 😭

#

fucking nightmare

foggy sable
#

20 minute run?

rain wadi
#

!!( ; οΎ›)゚ ゚

rich zealot
#

no cloak, wings and claw make it take a long ass time

#

old nail too

foggy sable
#

how do you deal with the mantis petra in the no floor section

rain wadi
rich zealot
#

im pretty close to the no floor section though right now

foggy sable
#

with no spell or way to stall I'm not sure if it is doable

compact wasp
#

okay lost kin to wd hitless

rich zealot
#

ive gotten to the end of wave 12 but soul twister is a pain

rich zealot
rich zealot
compact wasp
#

no like I Got that done hitless

rich zealot
compact wasp
#

now tyrant to nkg

foggy sable
#

markoth I remember being rough in r5 but now idk

compact wasp
#

the irony that the least concerning of this line up is nkg

#

that will never not be funny to me

foggy sable
#

it is a bit funny

rain wadi
#

Makes me feel good

#

No?

#

Am i the only one?

#

Why is it silence?

#

(-_-)

rich zealot
#

It might be doable with insane pogos on the attacks

#

you get one armoured squit to pogo on which might be able to get you on the mantis early enough to kill, but the odds are that the squit will just dash into the spikes and die meaning your only hope is pogoing the attack

#

i think it might just be doable though

#

either way il give it a shot

compact wasp
#

okay past nkg

#

now only pv and absrad left

rich zealot
#

best of luck

compact wasp
#

14 masks

foggy sable
#

lots of masks

proud haven
#

Hi

compact wasp
#

okay done

#

ye easier than I thought

rich zealot
#

bro does p5 hitless and says "easier than i thought" 😭

compact wasp
#

not p5 hitless

#

shell binding with overcharmed

rich zealot
#

ioh

#

oh

#

that makes much more sense

compact wasp
#

ye p5 hitless is much harder lol

#

but ye nkg to absrad were hitless

#

so that's good

rich zealot
#

nice work

nova locust
#

PV is weird sometimes hes the easiest boss in the game for me and sometimes he brings up high hell to smite my p5 runs

umbral night
#

Well back to PoP practice today
Goal is rooms 1 and 2 in sub two minutes

compact wasp
#

wait

#

only 9 HITS?

#

THIS WAS A 9 HIT PANTHEON?

umbral night
#

How did you count?

compact wasp
#

after each fight I would just note down the number lol

umbral night
#

Nicee

rich zealot
#

9 hit pantheon is insane

foggy sable
#

9 hits is good

umbral night
#

Hitless is coming

rich zealot
#

hitless all bindings grubfather

compact wasp
#

that is someone else's goal

compact wasp
foggy sable
compact wasp
#

for ending the p5ab run

foggy sable
rich zealot
compact wasp
#

not using nail arts felt weird though

#

so I was using it anyway

foggy sable
nova locust
#

i dont use my spells enough

rich zealot
compact wasp
umbral night
rich zealot
nova locust
#

there are very specific moments i use spells

compact wasp
nova locust
compact wasp
#

okay good

#

I do hope you learn to use your spells more

foggy sable
nova locust
#

its more convineint to hit on controller anyways so no way in hell anyones hitting the regular spell button 😭

compact wasp
#

use it.

#

it is just better

#

it will save you SO MUCH HEADACHE

umbral night
#

Which button is jump out of the four? Maybe the bottom one
What about quickcast?

rich zealot
nova locust
compact wasp
#

and turns shade soul into a machine gun

nova locust
compact wasp
#

the normal cast button waits for your input to end to check if you are healing or casting

#

quick cast is when the button is pressed

#

so its INSTANT

rich zealot
umbral night
compact wasp
#

it doesn't heal

#

its only for casting

rich zealot
#

ah

#

not much use then for zero spell runs πŸ˜”

compact wasp
#

zero spell runs were always boring to me though

#

cus using spells properly takes skill to begin with

nova locust
rich zealot
foggy sable
#

0 spell runs have their appeal but niche

rich zealot
#

it just makes it harder

safe stirrup
compact wasp
#

ye I just love watching someone use everything they have to win

compact wasp
umbral night
#

Nail spell combos are fire

compact wasp
#

yes I won't let this go.

#

ever.

compact wasp
#

hk is such a good game but I will rate it 9/10 just because of not telling us about quick cast from the start

nova locust
compact wasp
#

that is just evil behaviour

#

literally bottlenecking people for no reason

rich zealot
#

imma need to test out how this works after i finish ToF

umbral night
#

I use abyss shriek on vfk, if it's one
If it's two i move pretty awkwardly
Will have to practice that part

safe stirrup
compact wasp
rain wadi
safe stirrup
rich zealot
compact wasp
#

do you use soul only for healing and avoid spells to save it for something?

nova locust
#

i'd say other than my major patience issues with bosses my main issue is underrestamating my spells

rich zealot
#

abyssal shriek, shade soul and d-dark all have insane damage output

#

d-dark gives you I-frames too

rain wadi
nova locust
#

ima be honest i only heal if im at 2 masks

umbral night
#

Where is the ddark ragebait message

safe stirrup
#

I'm at 110% just a couple pantheons to go

umbral night
#

I want that rn

nova locust
rich zealot
frigid terrace
#

Why is that message classified as ragebait now. Do we just call all jokes ragebait

safe stirrup
compact wasp
#

that message is just great

safe stirrup
#

5th dont give percent

rich zealot

#

no ragebait

compact wasp

cuz honestly it is just satisfying to beat

Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses πŸ‘¨πŸΌ? You should just be using descending dark πŸ•Ά. Descending ⬇️ dark πŸ•ΆοΈ gives you iframes πŸ‘€ which stop πŸ›‘ you taking damage πŸ˜”.
