Sits on procs less than captain?

deep veldt
#

the only downside i have with captain is that he does so much damage that he will oneshot weak enemies making onhits less useful

robust stump
#

nah

mellow dagger
#

ok his shotty feels 1 procc for sure - even .75 is insane

robust stump
#

i think that's intentional though

median fox
#

Huh, ya know whats interesting

#

about captains passive drone i mean

#

its actually not a total defence from projectiles

deep veldt
#

also anyone else noticed how captain wears crit glasses its better than huntress

median fox
#

yes i have

mellow dagger
#

yeh, and i find myself only really using the orbital strike and support beacons for tp fights and if you gonna fight twiptwip you better have items anyways

median fox
#

i love captain with glasses

deep veldt
#

the shift on captain is op

polar anvil
#

The only item visuals i care about are meat and hammer in acrid's mouth

robust stump
#

personally i struggle to get through stage 5 with captain when relying on RNG

west bolt
#

i care about getting glasses on engis turrets

robust stump
#

as in not using command

median fox
#

Once mods start working again i think im gonna test what happens if you add like 100 syringes to captain

deep veldt
#

lol

median fox
#

cause i bet he'll turn into a semiauto slug launcher

deep veldt
#

syringes aint great on cap

polar anvil
#

Yeah

robust stump
#

? syringes are good on captain im not gonna pass one up

polar anvil
#

Syringes are good on cap

deep veldt
#

i guess

median fox
#

True but they do speed up how fast his spread decreases

deep veldt
#

i mean i havnt really gotton syringes yet

polar anvil
#

Yes

robust stump
#

holding the mouse doesn't add more damage it just thins the shots

median fox
#

i dunno if its just my imagination but i think they also make his defence drone block projectiles faster

robust stump
#

so syringe isnt bad

polar anvil
#

15 syringes made it semiauto slug rifle already

deep veldt
#

ooh

robust stump
#

yeah it scales with attack speed

polar anvil
#

@median fox it does

deep veldt
#

thats op

#

you could block all incoming hits if u found a syringe printer

polar anvil
#

You don't know the scaling

deep veldt
#

i guess

polar anvil
#

Syringe printer stage 1

deep veldt
#

not great

robust stump
#

i mean

keen nymph
#

stage 1 printers are ass

polar anvil
#

really helpful

deep veldt
#

i mean a syringe printer when u have loads of items

median fox
#

Honestly my fave part about captains drone is...

robust stump
#

if i see a syringe printer stage 1 and i got like. warbanner or something thats a free syringe

drifting shore
#

i have greatly udnerestimated how long it takes for captain to pirate a legendary chest

polar anvil
#

You'd have enough block already i think

median fox
#

It can completely shut down malachite enemies

deep veldt
#

you should be able to recycle scrap with the recycler to higher teir scrap

median fox
#

even their ground based AOE's get deleted by the drone

polar anvil
#

Scrap scrap scrap

robust stump
#

if you scrap scrap wouldnt you just get worse scrap

deep veldt
#

prob

polar anvil
#

Yes

fleet cedar
#

refined scrap

deep veldt
#

it deletes it

edit: idk if it does

polar anvil
#

Gray scrap

robust stump
#

anyway yeah i do think that if a run isnt looking good by stage 4 with captain its probably worth just resetting

deep veldt
#

allies can gain microbots right?

polar anvil
#

Think so

tired axle
#

drones can

median fox
#

Actually it even deletes the Malachite eye thing that spawns on the death of a Malachite which is fun

tired axle
#

not sure about beetles and stuff @deep veldt

median fox
#

Im more curious of how his drone interacts with umbras

deep veldt
#

microbots are items so i wanna see what happens if u forcespawn microbots onto engi and place down turrets

polar anvil
#

Captain vs captain with 100 syringes would probs be infinite fight

median fox
#

Well im boutta test cap v cap right now to see how that works

deep veldt
#

wasnt merc meant to get an alternate shift?

polar anvil
#

@deep veldt you can do that in co-op,if you kill captain umbra without cap having any items

deep veldt
#

oh yeah

#

it might not work and if so you could classiffy it as a bug

polar anvil
#

Wanna try it

#

@deep veldt

deep veldt
#

sure

#

im english tho

polar anvil
#

You host

deep veldt
#

k

median fox
#

Ya know i just noticed that the soldier syringes have a drip effect

#

Huh, dunno if that was just a bug but i think they removed the boss HP bar for Umbras

still needle
forest fog
#

Hey I'm on the Moon and I think I'm stuck please help I have no idea how to get up

quick raven
#

Rip run

still needle
#

try to fall as close to the point you wanna get to as possible

#

i got stuck too and i tried this and after a few attempts it teleported me where i wanted to be

arctic terrace
#

death mark is useless

still needle
#

yes

maiden flare
#

is it possible to enable cheats mid run

merry pagoda
cerulean needle
#

Is it just me or did merc get hit pretty hard from this patch

pallid thorn
#

i think he's about the same.

west bolt
#

his life regen is terrible, its really bad

forest fog
#

@still needle I keep appearing at the Cauldron shop, different jump spots for the same result ://

west bolt
#

went form 2.5 to 1

pallid thorn
#

its more that strong enemies with high helth are more common now.

west bolt
#

you dont regen anything on monsoon

#

as merc anymore

cerulean needle
#

Probably just havnt maximized the autos debuff

#

but yeah his survivability esp early sucks ass

quick raven
#

Captain on other hand is hella lack luster

west bolt
#

if you dont get any heal items at stage one, your kinda fucked

pallid thorn
#

oh yea./

quick raven
#

I don’t think I’ve been able to use his secondary ability at all

cerulean needle
#

Also still hard to get used to rmb cancelling dash

tired axle
#

@forest fog which character?

forest fog
#

Capt'n

west bolt
#

only place where i use captains rightclick is in void fields

pallid thorn
#

my main problem is that the captain sucks.

still needle
#

@forest fog what you could do then is try to find a mobility item and trade for it at the cauldron

oak ferry
#

Can host kick?

#

WE got a kid who steals every tele drop and tried to steal my leggo

quick raven
#

Captain does suck pretty bad lol

cerulean needle
#

Captain seems really cool in design

pallid thorn
#

he needs an r cooldown badly.

tired axle
#

minimun items to get across are 2 energy drinks and 1 hopoo @forest fog

quick raven
#

And a different secondary

#

His secondary is ass

forest fog
#

Unless the Interstellar Desk Plant is a mobility item, there aren't any here @still needle

pallid thorn
#

it hurts him to not have freedom of choice.

still needle
#

then ur run is fucked

tired axle
#

are you in multiplayer?

forest fog
#

Single

still needle
#

he is not

tired axle
#

you're fucked

#

sorry mate

forest fog
#

Goat Hoof and Red Whip not enough to even save me from this Sadge

#

and 1 drink

still needle
#

u need a double jump or fly

tired axle
#

yeah

maiden flare
#

is one h34d enough?

#

with mult

tired axle
#

i don't think so

forest fog
#

My Green Cauldron is the extra equip battery

#

:(

buoyant thicket
#

minimum items to make it is 2 energy drink 1 hopoo feather with no mobility

toxic marten
#

which is bs

tired axle
#

indeed

maiden flare
#

how the fuck did this get through qa testing

pallid thorn
#

i dont know.

buoyant thicket
#

it’s more bs that the island exists but yea

robust tangle
#

you can also have 2 hopoo feather right?

tired axle
#

probably didn't test it

toxic marten
#

Literally hardlocked if you don't have enough movement

tired axle
#

@robust tangle yeah

drifting shore
#

in defense of softlock island, i feel like players were intended to know what they were getting themselves into.. and seek items accordingly

toxic marten
#

@drifting shore no

buoyant thicket
#

yea 2 hopoo works but I was talking minimum items

maiden flare
#

no

pallid thorn
#

the new level is a mess, the new character has so many flaws, the boss is a big what. its bad.

maiden flare
#

can you enable cheats mid run

forest fog
#

Yeah my Reds are Meat Hook, Disc, Plant, Behemoth :'//

pallid thorn
#

a softlock is a softlock, noobtrap or not.

maiden flare
#

kinda just wanna noclip back to main island

buoyant thicket
#

@drifting shore don’t try to justify a soft lock

drifting shore
#

i know the execution of the idea isnt good, but it does sound nice in theory

still needle
#

this update was a bit underwhelming for the amount of time it took to come out

pallid thorn
#

it needed a delay.

still needle
#

but at least we got actually good yellow items and the voodoo doll

drifting shore
#

i absolutely will justify the idea of softlock but not necessarily how it has happened

buoyant thicket
#

the bongo is also fun despite the fact it doesn’t work on cap

quick raven
#

Voodoo doll is cool

buoyant thicket
#

I HIGHLY doubt that the soft lock was intended meaning you shouldn’t justify it

drifting shore
#

probably not intended

pallid thorn
#

@drifting shore so your run can just go on indefinitely because you had no idea you weren't able to get off an island with cauldrons as bait and say "yea thats fine and fun for everyone involved."

tired axle
#

voodoo is my favorite item now

buoyant thicket
#

I think the scrapper is amazing

tired axle
#

i agree

buoyant thicket
#

this update has a few major flaws but overall i think it’s a good update

pallid thorn
#

almost everything has problems but the boss to be quite honest.

#

captain has no kit in hidden realms.

drifting shore
#

i'll just go.. hardcore devils advocate
yes, i think if people did not know what they were getting into, be it ignorance, or blind first run
it is reasonable for them to be doomed to fail

tawdry kindle
#

I scrapped a red item by accident

drifting shore
#

it might not be fun but hey, wise'd up '

buoyant thicket
#

@drifting shore I think the boss being immensely strong is more of a way to show that instead of a fucking softlock

tired axle
#

yeah

pallid thorn
#

@drifting shore so is getting capacitor'd by a random spawn justifiable if it can end a run without warning and instantly a good thing?

tawdry kindle
#

rex R skill makes the final boss a joke

dull ingot
#

is artificer still bad

pallid thorn
#

yes.

dull ingot
#

oof

buoyant thicket
#

Engineer makes the boss a joke too

cunning topaz
#

Tbh, Idrc that captain is bad solo, he seem fine in multiplayer from what I’ve played

drifting shore
#

yeah actually, its a roguelike after all
things can screw u over withotu warning
suddenly people are not on board with dying and restarting

toxic marten
#

are you stupid

pallid thorn
#

because you cant do anything about it.

drifting shore
#

i thought that was a staple of the genre

toxic marten
#

???

pallid thorn
#

thats why theres a problem.

cunning topaz
#

Roguelikes usually kill you in ways you can mitigate with player skill

steady kettle
#

i love having to die and restart when it is completely and utterly not my fault

pallid thorn
#

a staple isn't unfair instant death, you can usually do SOMETHING about it.

cunning topaz
#

Sometimes you get RNG-fucked in any roguelike, but you can usually outplay any given scenario

dull ingot
#

have you ever played spelunky?

drifting shore
#

tbh, yes i'd say going in there withou proper mobility is your fault

jolly seal
#

tbh, yes i'd say going in there withou proper mobility is your fault
@drifting shore you dont always get mobility

drifting shore
#

that is true

steady kettle
#

lol level design balancing around items in a game where items are random

buoyant thicket
#

@drifting shore getting killed by a strong enemy or getting killed by a boss you don’t understand is a staple of the genre not getting softlocked you dumbfuck

jolly seal
#

even if someone makes it to the boss but there is someone stuck on the island the boss will not start

robust tangle
#

imagine not playing merc

buoyant thicket
#

are you the host @jolly seal

jolly seal
#

i was yeah

drifting shore
#

oh my, multiplayer sounds particularly rough

lucid plank
#

See, the thing is that getting killed by an ENEMY instantly would be fine. The game teaches you that enemies are dangerous. The issue is that the game teaches you that falling is fine. Secret area in the wetlands? Fall through it. Get punted off the edge of the first stage? No big, just teleport back with a moderate head injury. Every other stage at every other point in the game lets you get back to someplace navigable if you fuck up your platforming.

cunning topaz
#

Plus, a softlock isn’t a teaching mechanism intended by the devs

drifting shore
#

i can concede to that as well

buoyant thicket
#

they can quit and rejoin and be on the main island @jolly seal

jolly seal
#

damn

#

pretty good game design

#

who playtests this stuff

toxic marten
#

no one

jolly seal
#

how could you not just "ok is this possible WITHOUT movement items?"

undone crest
#

@buoyant thicket one of my buds did that was put in as a spectator.

jolly seal
#

no we have to push out this update now

maiden flare
#

is it even possible to enable cheats from the console

#

it aint workin

drifting shore
#

my moon horror story is having the mobility to reach the boss but not having the mobility to leave the boss

#

that was...something

jolly seal
#

yeah exactly

pallid thorn
#

"no delays just ride out your flagship update no biggie" - the devs, probably.

jolly seal
#

thats fucking stupid

north echo
#

So they didn't patch softlock island yet?

tired axle
#

nope

oak ferry
#

Lobbies don't have kick?

jolly seal
#

no im still shitting and farting and coping

drifting shore
#

its been less than a day

buoyant thicket
#

there’ll be fixes and changes in the near future and then everything will be fine

drifting shore
#

that bounce pad is work in progress probably

jolly seal
#

lol

undone crest
#

i mostly just feel like the last stage shouldve been more of an actual stage.

pallid thorn
#

almost all of the terrain in the last level needs a redo.

north echo
#

the last level is fine other than the island

jolly seal
#

1 year for what exactly?

oak ferry
#

i mean, it's a boss stage, not a stage stage

pallid thorn
#

its a stage.

#

you go throught the whole thing.

undone crest
#

idk for me it didnt have any of the charm the ues contact light had.

#

the boss was cool. but the stage? white

tired axle
#

i kinda agree

pallid thorn
#

"i like blue rocks"

jolly seal
#

i dont know dude the bosses design is so bland

#

his attacks are cool

pulsar pecan
#

any alternatives to runalds for death mark? the changes to the band make it no longer useful for constant death mark procs

buoyant thicket
#

for me it was very cool, i loved how they went with a super bleak look to show how empty the land is

#

and the music is so fucking good

toxic marten
#

I was half asleep fighting the boss

cunning topaz
#

Yeah I like the aesthetic, it IS the moon after all

undone crest
#

thats a fair point, it is supposed to be bleak i guess

oak ferry
#

Can you shred Captain's drone?

pallid thorn
#

but it cant ALL be two textures. that would be rediculous.

#

YES.

robust tangle
#

he’s meant to be king of nothing the moon should be bland and boring

drifting shore
#

like shove the drone into a 3d printer? yeah

buoyant thicket
#

yes you can shred it and it gives you a new one

oak ferry
#

No, SHRED it

drifting shore
#

scrap it..?

oak ferry
#

thats too OP

pallid thorn
#

nah, its a good item.

buoyant thicket
#

yes it needs a fix

undone crest
#

idk, if they were gonna have a lead up to the boss it shouldve been an actual lead up. not a 3 minute walk with three bad guys along the way

drifting shore
#

kinda..? i dont run into legedary printers often enough to make use of a red scrap

oak ferry
#

yeah but you can still stack it up regardless

#

And when you DO find one, it's broken

tired axle
#

yeah

toxic marten
#

The lol item steal move on the boss is annoying, if you have literally any DoT effect items you're dead. Of course you can circumvent that by bursting the boss before he steals them but the first time I was PISSED when it happened.

pallid thorn
#

the item itself invalidates two bosses, and multiple enemies.

arctic terrace
#

when game keeps giving u defensive item

toxic marten
#

I literally just closed the game at that point

arctic terrace
#

fuck

oak ferry
#

When you hit him during that stage you get items back, but not fast enough imo, you get like maybe 5 or 6 by the time the fights over

jolly seal
#

dude just pick up feathers and energy drinks its that easy

pallid thorn
#

quick, AGING CONTEST.

cunning topaz
#

Oh uh where do you give yourself character roles?

drifting shore
cunning topaz
#

Oh completely missed that channel lol

arctic terrace
#

is milky chrysalis bugged rn

#

i cant fly and only glide

drifting shore
#

its been.. changed

pallid thorn
#

is it just me or are captains alternative ult options funtionally pointless?

drifting shore
#

in ways thati dont like lol

oak ferry
#

free legendary chest

arctic terrace
#

what why

dull ingot
#

whats the best loadout for rex

tired axle
#

the hack is good @pallid thorn

arctic terrace
#

is holding space for flight not good?

drifting shore
#

u dont fly by holding space anymore

buoyant thicket
#

hack and heal are the best ones

arctic terrace
#

then how lol

pallid thorn
#

well yes but you sacrifice a LOADOUT SLOT to get a single legendary.

oak ferry
#

so they made milky extra useless lol

drifting shore
#

just.. idk, aim ur camera upwards i guess

cunning topaz
#

What are the alternate captain skills? Haven’t gotten them yet

arctic terrace
#

thats fucking retarded

oak ferry
#

@pallid thorn you sacrifice for free chests period

buoyant thicket
#

milky is VERY useful against the boss

arctic terrace
#

its like effigy tier trash now

drifting shore
#

oh it has its uses, like on the moon
lmao

pallid thorn
#

@oak ferry but you could have more healing or power in your setup and just farm instead.

arctic terrace
#

stacking feathers might even be better at this point

oak ferry
#

I'd assume it's for speed > utility

buoyant thicket
#

stacking feathers and taking another equipment was always better imo

oak ferry
#

get through stages faster with more items

pallid thorn
#

i suppose? but that seems needlessly risky.

arctic terrace
#

at least with old milky u could kite and cheese

oak ferry
#

preference i guess

#

i run two heal, but i dont have the other two

buoyant thicket
#

but like just use black hole and kill them all

pallid thorn
#

on such a low mobility character i find that just walking around i end up getting more gold than chests on a direct and efficcent path through each stage.

#

and with two healing you could kite AND heal.

buoyant thicket
#

or preon and destroy them, or sawmerang for big groups

#

you could also take elephant for more defense

pallid thorn
#

or you could hellfire if you hate them not social distancing.,

buoyant thicket
#

^

#

there are so many better equipment

pallid thorn
#

eccentric vase for just going places... and coming back.

#

at this point its just better.

wintry shuttle
#

Captain's hack is good for grabbing a couple chests at the start of a stage, hacking the RC-COLA-Drone, and hacking legendary chests

#

and, I guess, buying drones at a distance, as you don't have to go over there to collect them as you would an item

pallid thorn
#

it just lowers the price.

#

and by the description it takes a bit of time.

left vector
#

Kinda wish tge ult had a larger radius though

pallid thorn
#

i wish it had a cooldown and he had a fourth ability for more than 2% of the game.

wintry shuttle
#

It will straight up buy them for you. It does take time, but not really a lot. Just haul ass to the legendary chest at stage 4-1 and plop it and it'll be ready in a couple minutes

pallid thorn
#

so... in the time it would take to just farm the chest... you could wait and buy the chest.

#

why?

wintry shuttle
#

It speeds up the run. You buy other chests instead

left vector
#

Still, capt has more power in his M1 than most survivors have in a spread out kit

pallid thorn
#

debatable.

tired axle
#

you can farm for others @pallid thorn

wintry shuttle
#

If you get to stage 4 fast, it's sometimes not worth farming the legendary due to time loss

#

There's not really a debate

fickle vale
#

I like using it for things that you can go back to, or purchase during a teleporter.

#

or gold chest for red item

wintry shuttle
#

Unless you give a reason 🙂

pallid thorn
#

his m1 has a high base damage, it seems to fall off. my loader freind did more damage in his whole kit than point blank shotty machinegun with crit.

wintry shuttle
#

Loader is still the queen of damage though

left vector
#

Are you picking up crit and on hit items?

pallid thorn
#

engineer bleed build was a better low health targets than his shotty.

fickle vale
#

loader is literally built for melee tank and bursty damage.

wintry shuttle
#

His m1 is still really solid. Only problem is your finger breaks off halfway through the run due to over-clicking

left vector
#

He seems to have a higher chance to proc or at least it feels like it

pallid thorn
#

it is.

#

its normal proc on a pellet by pellet basis.

#

its also hitscan, and a crit affects the whole shot.

fickle vale
#

I sense a good bleed build here

vocal mason
#

isn't there a challenge for activating six turrets?

pallid thorn
#

yes.

vocal mason
#

alive at once or just in one run?

thick crystal
#

well I tried the doll + Soulbound catalyst ... don't do it

pallid thorn
#

dont know,.

left vector
#

Oh yeah, he's rediculous with a bit of crit and the new imp lord item

dull ingot
#

holy fucking shit

they made this game so much goddamn harder

5 mins per stage is no longer doable

pallid thorn
#

"i have more nothing AHAHAHAHAH"

drifting shore
#

doll and soulbound is my favorite new busted enablers :v

dull ingot
#

i was basically invincible with Aegis + Rejuv Rack + Captain and double healing beacon until i ran into a malachite and then it was G O O D B Y E

thick crystal
#

It freeze too much infinite doll at some point

buoyant thicket
#

Mired urn and opinion is dumb

pallid thorn
#

mired urn is dumb.

tired axle
#

just don't pick gestures @thick crystal

dull ingot
#

my HP was a constant 1800 if i stood in my beacons but outside of that i was mega dead

#

by the way are people just running double healing beacons on captain or

thick crystal
#

sure ... but I like gesture D:

shut atlas
#

Please Forgive Me builds are fun

pallid thorn
#

he has poor alternatives @dull ingot

tired axle
#

yeah

fickle vale
#

does that item work with the ghors tome?

shut atlas
#

gesture + soul bound catalyst + a few fuel cells and your game go crash

wintry shuttle
#

IMO - I don't like Captain because his best loadout is 'hack' and something else, and being dependent on getting 3-1 or 4-1. If he doesn't have the option to abuse his hack ability, then he doesn't really offer a whole lot. Well, besides probably the best m1 in the game for raw damage assuming you have a robotic finger.

robust stump
#

just had to quit out of a run because the teleporter was literally in such a bad spawn i couldn’t even see the particles

thick crystal
#

1 gesture + soulbound + the doll your game freeze enough already

robust stump
#

i spent 8 minutes looking for the tp it wasn’t worth continuing it was so bad

pallid thorn
#

what stage,

robust stump
#

guess

pallid thorn
#

i dunno theres a lot of stages.

fickle vale
#

what's soulbound again?

pallid thorn
#

on kill recharge equip.

thick crystal
#

kill reduce activable cd

robust stump
#

the third stage that’s not the snow one

fickle vale
#

oh....

pallid thorn
#

it was IN A CAVE.

robust stump
#

worst state in the game aside from swamp by the way i hate it

pallid thorn
#

the best spot in the game!

dull ingot
#

i havent tried the hack beacon but i dont think its gonna be useful?

robust stump
#

absolutely not

dull ingot
#

like money isnt necessarily an issue

robust stump
#

it was such a good run too i just got fucked cause of bad tp spawn rng

pallid thorn
#

its not that bad.

dull ingot
#

dude Wetland Aspects and Infernal level are tied for "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE TP OH MY GOD 5 MINUTES OF MY RUN GONE LOOKING FOR THIS BUM ASS TELEPORTER"

thick crystal
#

idk what to take as captain beacon yet ... equipable one seems useless ...

pallid thorn
#

just go up top or go into the cave.

drifting shore
#

HACK

dull ingot
#

im running double heal because its a 20% heal per second

patent lava
#

I just do 2x health

vocal mason
#

his beacon is kinda boring tbh

mental crater
#

Its useful for abys gold chest and getting the big drone without neglecting looting the rest of the stage or waiting too long

robust stump
#

“into the cave” we are not talking about the same stage

#

the third stage that’s not the snow one

pallid thorn
#

well WHAT STAGE,.

robust stump
#

i forget what it’s called

drifting shore
#

his heal space is kinda small
and im n ot a fan of sitting around :c

thick crystal
#

yeah but 20% heal is kinda useless too

dull ingot
#

whats hilarious is that the beacon does damage upon landing so i usually fucking chuck it directrly on the boss and wail

main cobalt
#

Scorched acres

robust stump
#

yes

thick crystal
#

i do damage with them too

dull ingot
#

you dont need to sit around, you kinda just run around

pallid thorn
#

oh, its in the top platform.

patent lava
#

It can be a godsend first loop but then they all fall off

robust stump
#

thanks! it wasn’t

dull ingot
#

and if you get rejuv rack or aegis you are set but i do agree they fall off hard

vocal mason
#

I have crit and harvester's scythes, so if I get a crit as captain it counts as 8 crits for the heal lol

mental crater
#

Stun stays useful

pallid thorn
#

sometimes it can spawn behind one of them or in front of the crystal so the particals dont show well @robust stump

thick crystal
#

I did a run and after 40 minutes i was like "Oh yeah I have beacons"

dull ingot
#

the stun one is kinda mediocre cos it doenst affect bosses

patent lava
#

I'm pretty sure healing items are affected by proc coefficient

dull ingot
#

and like the tase speed is way too fucking low

mental crater
#

Do any stuns affect them?

robust stump
#

either way i ran around for 8 minutes then quit because there’s no point continuing that run

dull ingot
#

negative

mental crater
#

I see most enemies entering the stun field get locked in there

patent lava
#

So it would be 8x(bullet x proc coefficient)

robust stump
#

that’s my main issue with scorched acres is like. if you get a bad tp spawn you gotta quit or find it fast

pallid thorn
#

no.

dull ingot
#

wetland aspects + scorched acres are the maps that fuck me the hardest for TP spawns

buoyant thicket
#

or just learn the spawn locations

vocal mason
#

I think you guys care too much about time too

dull ingot
#

i have a rough idea of where the TP spawns are but i keep getting surprised

robust stump
#

^

pallid thorn
#

thats never the case. go island - top back - top far. always find it.

#

and check the middle.

buoyant thicket
#

also can u not see the huge amount of yellow particles?

pallid thorn
#

yea i can.

robust stump
#

that’s fun when you’re playing captain with 0 mobility items

thick crystal
#

captain free red scrap is fun tho

robust stump
#

“huge amount” that’s what im saying there weren’t any particles

mental crater
#

Time makes and breaks runs @vocal mason

dull ingot
#

i would honestly never scrap the active protection system

pallid thorn
#

there were, they dont show well there.

dull ingot
#

its way too good

buoyant thicket
#

you don’t need mobility to get to any tp that’s a u problem mate

vocal mason
#

well yea but don't take 8 minutes

thick crystal
#

you get it back every stage

robust stump
#

its not about getting to a TP its about saving time

thick crystal
#

so you scrap it get a red scrap then get bots back

dull ingot
#

@thick crystal oh shit aight

pallid thorn
#

then do a lap damnit!

robust stump
#

i did a lap and lost 5 minutes but aight

oak ferry
#

So instead of going to the moon, how do I just keep going

dull ingot
#

@oak ferry touch the outside rims of the teleporter first

pallid thorn
#

touch the ring.

oak ferry
#

eh?

pallid thorn
#

it can be changed.

dull ingot
#

you know how theres a "ring" around the Primordial teleporter

pallid thorn
#

touch the things around the tp.

dull ingot
#

press E on it, and it should say aligning with <not the moon>

pallid thorn
#

it goes back to start.

buoyant thicket
#

I personally think scorched acres has really easy spawns to learn as the map is pretty linear

dull ingot
#

scorched acres doesnt mess me up anymore but wetlands still does occcasionally

robust stump
#

wetland doesnt mess me up at all its just scorched

idle copper
#

does doppelganger also have your equipment

dull ingot
#

also goddamn even rainstorm mode is hard as fuck, or maybe captain just isnt that good cos i cannot make 5 mins per stage anymore

#

maybe i need to go even faster

pallid thorn
#

@idle copper yes.

buoyant thicket
#

I find wetlands really tough

vocal mason
#

I go longer than 5 minutes per stage and I'm doing fine

#

7 minutes is my max that I allow myself to take

robust stump
#

wetland is pretty easy for me since it's a pretty small map

buoyant thicket
#

scorched acres is smaller than wetlands

robust stump
#

scorched acres is a pretty big map where teleporters can spawn practically under the map so i dont like it

pallid thorn
#

acres is smaller.

robust stump
#

it feels bigger

idle copper
#

^

dull ingot
#

well they did make the game harder as a whole so

arctic terrace
#

lmao holyfuck there people actually liking the new bands like what it's legitimately worse in every way, same damage, long cd and a threshold gate

idle copper
#

movement is less available in acres due to the bridges

arctic terrace
#

i can't even comprehend this

idle copper
#

wetland you have 30 ways to get anywhere

pallid thorn
#

and not under, its so easy to find it. just look in all 3 low spots.

drifting shore
#

new bands no bueno GWvertiPeepoSadMan

dull ingot
#

@arctic terrace theyre all MULT mains in disguise

robust stump
#

? bands arent even that bad theyre just situational LOL

dull ingot
#

the new bands suck ass on captain so i scrap them asap

#

goodbye wedding vows, you will become nice ATG missiles

sinful anvil
#

I love the concept of the bands but the cd is kinda weird

robust stump
#

@dull ingot ..? they proc on the orbital strikes doe

sinful anvil
#

Still, if it had no CD it'd proc off of itself

arctic terrace
#

they are just bad, like worse than their original

pallid thorn
#

they never did proc off itself.

#

they cant.

dull ingot
#

how are bands going to hit flying targets as captain

tired axle
#

it's supposed to be a nerf @arctic terrace

dull ingot
#

exactly

old ledge
#

New bands are good on characters who have tons of strong hits on command. Like Artificer.

robust stump
#

....?????? ryer i JUST said

old ledge
#

But on say commando, they're pretty eh

dull ingot
#

the fuckers cant even stay still long enough for you to orbital strike them

robust stump
#

orbital strike procs flying enemies my dude just use it on a flying enemy and shoot them into it

arctic terrace
#

i mean missles is better than band in every way now

dull ingot
#

yes i know orbital strike procs bands but why bother when you can have literally anything else and itll be better

robust stump
#

better yet why are you using bands on flying enemies to begin with

sinful anvil
#

It's different now, before it didn't have a proc chance itself so it couldn't proc off of itself but now it procs off of damage, not proc chance

pallid thorn
#

what.

robust stump
#

bands aren't that bad you're just too used to having that free damage

old ledge
#

...also i feel that dropping a probe on a boss with both bands will be very profitable.

arctic terrace
#

yeah then put the change as a nerf in the patch notes, not pretend it was a sidegrade

pallid thorn
#

@sinful anvil it was a proc chance of 7% before, shared between the two.

dull ingot
#

yes...bands got nerfed...so im no longer to use them

thats kinda how a meta works lmao

buoyant thicket
#

they aren’t pretending it’s a side grade lul

sinful anvil
#

Yes, now it procs off of damage. Like the damage you deal.

#

Not off of hits

pallid thorn
#

and thats a problem for everyone but artiface and loader.

arctic terrace
#

and chrysalis is also nerfed hard

pale roost
#

The band change is really sweet for Arti

robust stump
#

i never used it to begin with

pallid thorn
#

i see the problem here.

arctic terrace
#

its already not a common equipment that people use now literally no one will use it

sinful anvil
#

Everyone else already had good items, arti and loader had what? Focus crystals and crowbars?

dull ingot
#

MULT + rebar + band == always proc

#

arti had fuck all, loader has focus and crowbars and general movespeed items

oak ferry
#

Is there a list of the new lunars? I'm not completely sure what they do

buoyant thicket
#

there’s 3 new ones I think

arctic terrace
#

lol now people will just pick missles over bands now lmao

pallid thorn
#

the problem is that not everybody can use it now. removing item diversity on multiple characters is not helping improve it, and that was the point of the update.

dull ingot
#

Defiant Gouge, Mercurial Rachis, Purity

oak ferry
#

What's the lunar with the hammer and.... Bat? Paddle?

dull ingot
#

Defiant Gouge makes all shrines summon enemies a la shrine of combat

vocal mason
#

gouge spawns enemies at every shrine

dull ingot
#

thats defiant gouge, hammer and paddle

sinful anvil
#

There shouldn't be, but one of them reduces skill cd's by 2 and works like a reverse 57 leaf clover, one of them spawns an entity that boosts everyones damage in it and one makes every shrine ALSO a combat shrine

vocal mason
#

Mercurial Rachis spawns the damage boost area, it's underwhelming

dull ingot
#

Mercurial rachis resembles a dinosaur spine

pallid thorn
#

it ended a run by spawning many, may bosses.

sinful anvil
#

It's pretty weird that instead of adding a new item they changed an old one to fit a niche, but i welcome that

pallid thorn
#

i dont.

buoyant thicket
#

Bands aren’t bad Spectal lol

arctic terrace
#

they are lol

dull ingot
#

i think that the effects of the items are cool, and i think adding more will just mean pretty boring items / powercreep, so id rather have changes to proc mechanics

robust stump
#

they aren’t you’re just used to having free damage procs

tired axle
#

i think there just worse than before

#

they still do good damage

arctic terrace
#

like i said theres no reason to pick bands over missles now

sinful anvil
#

They aren't bad, but they're very different from the old ones

buoyant thicket
#

they’re stronger but proc less often

arctic terrace
#

no the damage is literally the same

cunning topaz
#

You take bands over missiles because they’re a guaranteed proc

sinful anvil
#

Missiles do barely anything for arti and loader so they'll pick them

#

Captain can also use them

arctic terrace
#

like every 10 sec? with missles i could get more out in that timeframe

pallid thorn
#

many characters strait up cannot use new bands. they are worse despite never being must haves, they have a cooldown as a GREEN and do the same damage. this is a downgrade on an item that needed no changes whatsoever.

cunning topaz
#

And bands have AOE

pallid thorn
#

MISSLES DO TOO.

cunning topaz
#

Missiles will also proc bands

tired axle
#

they're probably better than atg if you don't have clover

pallid thorn
#

SO GET MORE MISSLES.

sinful anvil
#

Oh yeah

dull ingot
#

so....get more missiles

buoyant thicket
#

and buffs don’t mean just straight damage

dull ingot
#

MULT mains are having a field day with bands, and so are artificer & loader

pallid thorn
#

yes they do.

sinful anvil
#

If you have more than 3 missiles they also proc bands

arctic terrace
#

also loader takes missles because they can one shot bosses with it

#

not sure if they changed that

buoyant thicket
#

kjaros is better than mussels in every way for AoE

#

loader with bands is very VERY good

robust stump
#

if you’re a loader prioritising missiles over bands that’s a you problem

hushed rock
#

is it safe to install mods on 1.0?

pallid thorn
#

missles are better for crowds because less enemies = less problems. hitting lots of things =/= less problems.

dull ingot
#

heres the thing

if you can choose between AtG and band, and assuming you have neither, which one are you going to pick?

On everyone but loader, artificer and MULT (assuming rebar puncher), you will pick AtGs

And "ATGs can proc bands!" but thats tying a proc onto another proc chance, and at that point why not just pick up more missiles to increase misslie proc chance than 2 bands which do nothing for your proc chance

tired axle
#

@hushed rock i don't think most mods updated yet

arctic terrace
#

lmao this guy never 1 shot a 1hr loop elite boss with missles on loader before

cunning topaz
#

Yeah but you don’t always choose

sinful anvil
#

But bands also do AOE, and a bigger one if you have the ice band.

pallid thorn
#

yea but thats a bad argument.

robust stump
#

im talking about the current bands not the old ones

pallid thorn
#

because this is about if you could.

cunning topaz
#

Ok

#

In an artifact of command run, yeah, ATGs are better on most characters

buoyant thicket
#

Spectal i’ve 1 shot a 1hr loop elite boss with new bands tho :(

dull ingot
#

we're not saying "DONT PICK UP BANDS EVER!!!!!!!!!", obvs not, we're just saying if given the option itll be better to take missiles on most situations

pallid thorn
#

low proc characters actually have better damage, so missles do more because of damage scales.

arctic terrace
#

what fryer said

#

i could proc more missles in bands cooldown period lmao

dull ingot
#

but since there are scrappers and 3d printers, why not just scrap the bands if say, you have no AtGs and no way of proccing them so you can chuck them into a 3D printer?

pallid thorn
#

missiles can also proc themselves.

cunning topaz
#

Through ukelele

#

Missiles can’t proc themselves with just themselves

pallid thorn
#

ive seen it. its dumb.

arctic terrace
#

i actually grinded all bands when i happen to found missile printer and a shredder together in 1 run

#

never regretted it

pallid thorn
#

no ukelele though. just missle.

cunning topaz
#

Really? I could’ve sworn that didn’t work and you needed ATG+Uke to get a proc chain

pallid thorn
#

nope.

cunning topaz
#

Damn

dull ingot
#

the rocket itself has a proc coefficient of 1.

cunning topaz
#

Low-ass Chance without clover though

pallid thorn
#

command + all missle = free kills.

dull ingot
#

so its 10% to proc 300%, and another 10%

pallid thorn
#

also it stacks chance.

dull ingot
#

so 0.1%

#

assuming 1 missile, itll be a 0.1% chance for the missile to proc itself

buoyant thicket
#

command is free

pallid thorn
#

with enough missiles and crowds it can reliably go off on its own.

arctic terrace
#

unless you're someone that actually attacks once every ~10 sec its a direct downgrade

pallid thorn
#

you still need to shoot, but it happens often enough to be notable.

cunning topaz
#

Ok artifact of command, I think it’d still be optimal to take 1 of each band and then stack missiles

pallid thorn
#

nah.

#

300% damage baby PER STACK.

cunning topaz
#

Having an AOE bomb every 10 seconds that does more damage than your missiles sounds nice

buoyant thicket
#

it is nice on certain characters

arctic terrace
#

lol 350 vs 300

pallid thorn
#

10 missiles will always be more than 700% every 10 seconds.

#

2 will.

cunning topaz
#

It’s not 700% every 10 seconds

#

It’s 700% of the missile damage

#

Bands aren’t base damage

arctic terrace
#

maybe get rid of the damage threshold and buff the damage to worth the 10 sec cooldown then i will agree is a decent change

pallid thorn
#

eh, but at that point why are you even going for less than zombie missiles that kill instantly.

dull ingot
#

If you're on command, you're in no rush so you might as well take both bands and a death mark along with a billion missiles

cunning topaz
#

Every 10 seconds your next missile becomes AOE and does 7 times the damage

#

7 times a missile is massive as hell when you have a ton of missile stacks

pallid thorn
#

or... you could get 3 to 5 extra missile procs for more damage than the bands.

dull ingot
#

did you not read the rest of my sentence

arctic terrace
#

what a single band is like 300%

buoyant thicket
#

yes

cunning topaz
#

Yeah

#

So 2 is 600%

dense bolt
#

Fugg, almost got captain mastery

cunning topaz
#

600% of the ATGs damage is a lot of damage

west bolt
#

getting a tri trap dagger printer on stage 1 is hilarious

#

as captain especialy

arctic terrace
#

yeah thats only true if u can get to the threshold

cunning topaz
#

With a few ATG stacks you will

drifting shore
#

how do daggers work with captain

west bolt
#

each of his shotgun shots has a proc chance of 1 from what i heard

ebon violet
buoyant thicket
#

Known**

drifting shore
#

i see

ebon violet
#

there are so many issues that it's laughable

dense bolt
#

Crowbar isn't that good with him

arctic terrace
#

like i said atg does the same damage and stacks the same as bands, no cooldown no threshold. i could proc more missles in 10 sec than bands

dense bolt
#

It only boosts like one of the 8 shots I believe from what I see

pallid thorn
#

orbital bombardment.

west bolt
#

so getting just a few bleed daggers is very strong on captain

buoyant thicket
#

but why not take both?

arctic terrace
#

not saying u cant take both, its just that they are simply gutted

cunning topaz
#

Proc a band with missiles is the same as landing 6 missiles

#

*7 counting the original

pallid thorn
#

or get 7 more and get more missiles to begin with overall.

#

its not a good alternative.

cunning topaz
#

More ATGs does not effect proc chance

arctic terrace
#

yea

pallid thorn
#

it does.

cunning topaz
#

You won’t have more

buoyant thicket
#

but then 7 becomes 14 and more damage = more good

cunning topaz
#

You don’t get more missiles for more stacks

ebon violet
#

merc bad, bands bad captain broken in positive and negative ways -cough visions and crappy m2-, comedy island and busted boss which is easily cheesed by artificier but any survivor with no mobility gets mauled

#

am i missing anything

cunning topaz
#

IIRC, only sticky bomb and tri tip have proc chances that go up with stacks

ebon violet
#

oh right - bleed from mediocre to broken

#

and lets not forget about urn sucking everything, including allies

cunning topaz
#

I’ve literally been waiting for over a year to be able to suck my allies in ROR2

ebon violet
#

even though its supposed to drain a single enemy per stack

buoyant thicket
#

also if you have both bands it’s 550% damage

arctic terrace
#

merc has more burst at the cost of survivability now

pallid thorn
#

"hey guys i think we need to wait a bit im not sure about this as our release" "we shipped it yesterday steve."

arctic terrace
#

thats a sidegrade

dense bolt
#

It makes sense it sucks allies

pallid thorn
#

its a boss item.

#

its a bad thing.

ebon violet
#

ah, right - a single scrap is worth 3 to 5 scraps in bazaar apparently

cunning topaz
#

It fits the flavor

dense bolt
#

The dunestriders suck everything, so now you do to

buoyant thicket
#

it makes sense lore wise not gameplay wise

ebon violet
#

that wraps it up

arctic terrace
#

does dunestrider suck not do dmg anymore

pallid thorn
#

it does.

buoyant thicket
#

it does?

arctic terrace
#

it felt like it didnt lol

pallid thorn
#

its a low amount.

arctic terrace
#

before its actually a threat

buoyant thicket
#

I got destroyed in monsoon by a couple of dunestriders

pallid thorn
#

its... there.

arctic terrace
#

also no more sound effect

buoyant thicket
#

didn’t have good items but still

cunning topaz
#

Blue meteorite is in the game, I think hurting your friends is an integral part of ROR2

torpid linden
#

bruh that king mf is hard asf

dense bolt
#

Getting a bunch of drones with captain makes some bosses super easy XD

torpid linden
#

any tips on the boss??

pallid thorn
#

yea but thats the idea with a LUNAR item. this is a RARE, BOSS related item.

ebon violet
#

im just annoyed that we got no new skill additions

ivory depot
cunning topaz
#

You need mobility for the boss

ivory depot
buoyant thicket
#

make sure you have mobility, stay up high

ebon violet
#

all those survivors with no alternative skills, lmao

buoyant thicket
#

he has no aerial

torpid linden
#

im talking more about the part where he takes ur items

#

ik hitting him gets them back

cunning topaz
#

You can burst him down while he’s taking them

ivory depot
#

if you have a good dmg dealing equipment its easier

torpid linden
#

so preon?/

ivory depot
#

but that phase is honestly quite easy, the patterns are simple

buoyant thicket
#

or royal cap

torpid linden
#

Ig

buoyant thicket
#

which characters do u play?

sinful anvil
#

I managed to kill him with 2 shaped glass and 3 fuel cells and a capacitor before he took my items

torpid linden
#

does he give items back based on damage or amount of hits

cunning topaz
#

Probably damage? Idk

buoyant thicket
#

damage

torpid linden
#

Loader and Archer

#

but i mostly use archer with shapped glass which usually bits back when he takes it lmao

buoyant thicket
#

try to burst him down with ur gauntlet and ur R

torpid linden
#

Okie dokie

#

WE R GOING BACK IN BOIS

I don’t know how to play Huntress

hack is cool, might only take one of instead of both

Do we have any more logbook entries about Kurskan the Heretic other than from Visions of Heresy and Strides of Heresy?

oak ferry
#

honestly im not too sure about heal cause when things are hairy I can't stay on it or I'll die

drifting shore
#

also true GWvertiPeepoSadMan

oak ferry
#

So not sure what TO use

drifting shore
#

shocking one probably

sinful anvil
#

The starting shock/heal combo is solid

pallid thorn
#

the shock one kinda sucks. it has low range and is single use.

oak ferry
#

i'll probably use heal and hack

drifting shore
#

alright i mean.. all of them are low range and single use GWvertiPeepoSadMan

#

i do like hack tho, cuz im dirt poor in stage 1-3

oak ferry
#

but i guess TC is rarer than I thought, now that I need it I can't find it

pallid thorn
#

yes but shock does nothing directly helpfull.

sinful anvil
#

You can pop the heal behind cover and overlay it with the shock so melee enemies can't come near you and ranged enemies can't shoot you because of the cover

pallid thorn
#

ranged enemies cant shoot you.

drifting shore
#

wisps says hi

pallid thorn
#

he has a passive.

oak ferry
#

If you're building attack speed like you should, ranged attacks are useless

cunning topaz
#

Almost beat final boss with Forgive me please + Soulbound catalyst + desk plant + Topaz + monster tooth + gasoline

oak ferry
#

Also use the backup

#

Completely negates all ranged attacks

cunning topaz
#

They call me Johnny appleseed cause I covered the entire map in my green seed and never died

sinful anvil
#

If we're talking about late game then you can just forget about his R since his M1 with proc chance is extremely good

drifting shore
#

well, no
projectiles specifically
hit scan cough wisps will still shit on you

pallid thorn
#

they shoot projectiles. just bery fast ones.

drifting shore
#

i think the shockwave from the beetleguards actually count as projectiles and that amuses me

pallid thorn
#

it does.

sinful anvil
#

It does

cunning topaz
#

Just kill wisps 5head smh

drifting shore
#

thers like 20 of em

glossy pumice
#

afaik captain's Red item does not stop wisp shots, so they arent projectiles

cunning topaz
#

Just shoot 20 times

pallid thorn
#

it stops one or two shots. its a shotgun.

oak ferry
#

just get a uke

sinful anvil
#

The shotgun shoots 8 bullets, that's 8 wisps killed per shot smh

oak ferry
#

I'm p sure it doesn't hit wisps tbh

pale iris
#

is it just me or is the zapping beacon really bad

pallid thorn
#

it does.

oak ferry
#

'cause I kept getting shot when I was runnigng around, and the drone wasn't even trying

#

All I hada round me were wisps

glossy pumice
#

zapping beacon is actually really good vs stunable ground based mobs

drifting shore
#

is it just me or is the beacons in general pretty bad GWvertiPeepoSadMan
but yes, the zapping beacon isnt great

glossy pumice
#

kite the ones you cant kill right now into, they get perma cc'd and you can focus the other priority targets

sinful anvil
#

They're good but only on the first 2-3 stages

pale iris
#

it takes so long to pulse

#

and range is very small

oak ferry
#

Probably use the heal more for emergencies (Like sniping an out of control Mountain tele)

glossy pumice
#

you need choke points for it to really shine

oak ferry
#

Not just spamming them on the tele

#

'cause it DOES heal really quick if you can get away

pallid thorn
#

i take double heal and kite between the two.

#

shock not needed.

#

more health.

oak ferry
#

I've been stacking two heals, but kiting seems the better choice

pale iris
#

are they infinite duration or timed? Also can they be killed?

pallid thorn
#

infinite.

glossy pumice
#

unkillable

oak ferry
#

They don't die

pallid thorn
#

they sit there. and you get one of each.

oak ferry
#

Also, I learned that drones are god tier for Mithra

#

He gets stuck trying to hit them but he can't jump

#

So just snipe him

pale iris
#

cheese is god tier for Mithra in general

pallid thorn
#

yea. engie turrets are nigh unkillable and he can't take their items.

glossy pumice
#

until the ground shockwaves hit one and they die Q-Q

#

i think my drones just like the ground too much

pallid thorn
#

inb4 aegis.

oak ferry
#

If you have the tentacle nuke thing, he basically kills himself on engie

pallid thorn
#

barbed wire.

oak ferry
#

He instakills turrets

pallid thorn
#

live him to death.

oak ferry
#

So wire is eh on him

pallid thorn
#

i had a run where i had aegis and 3 barbed. the turret never died and it killed him flat out.

#

he lost an aging contest.

oak ferry
#

tfw god ages out first

pale iris
#

I honestly though the fight would be hell for engi after doing it as huntress

pallid thorn
#

no.

#

its sad how easy it is.

oak ferry
#

i mean

#

it's engie

#

engie is just afk to win

pallid thorn
#

lets be honest engie is built on cheese and its a cheesable boss.

pale iris
#

very

pallid thorn
#

also theres a channel for that.

oak ferry
#

engie is built on zero skill required

#

The last thing it shows on the news is the artifact update

frosty stream
#

This might be known already but I just found a dumbass mul-t strat haha.

pale iris
#

idk where it is I saw it a video

pallid thorn
#

thats a steam thing.

arctic terrace
#

i guess game has too much items that command is actually needed lol

#

i keep getting shit thats useless to me

glossy pumice
#

oh i got it from the notes in the patch notes channel

outer sleet
#

Which reds or just build in general have people found works best on commando?

frosty stream
#

Since Rebar got changed, using double Rebar might actually be optimal lmao.

outer sleet
#

not commando, captain

pallid thorn
#

clover. on hit. crit.

glossy pumice
#

yeah build him like multi with auto nailgun; on-hit bleed

pallid thorn
#

might do an n'kahuna if you feel frisky.

oak ferry
#

Is Opus a constant passive?

dull ingot
#

no

outer sleet
#

Ive been building behemoth with full crit + the new yellow that inflicts bleed on crits

oak ferry
#

Triggering it doesn't seem to do anything

loud scroll
#

its broken

outer sleet
#

and ive been melting basically everything

dull ingot
#

it's only broken on captain

glossy pumice
#

yeah he shoots a butt ton of pellets with some Attack Speed investment so you should be able to keep bleed stacks for days

outer sleet
#

he has like no mobility though, wish he had a dash or something to replace the stupid taser

dull ingot
#

behemoth is very good for captain, yeah

plucky comet
#

bruh, rex is so op, i just unlocked him and completely anihilated the boss on my first run, gotta try captain now

pallid thorn
#

behemoth is a stupid item. more damage for your damage.

#

also rex is iffy.

glossy pumice
#

rex can root the last boss btw LOL

outer sleet
#

never liked rex

loud scroll
#

rex is real strong nowadays

pallid thorn
#

REALLY?

arctic terrace
#

behemoth is nice

plucky comet
#

yup

glossy pumice
#

rex has the best dmg output from his base kit

loud scroll
#

he was bad when he first came out

arctic terrace
#

hope they dont nerf it

glossy pumice
#

out of everyone. I think hes op honestly

dull ingot
#

he was balanced @loud scroll

plucky comet
#

the boss just stole 3 items before he got destroyed

arctic terrace
#

he still need fruit to work

#

or sprite

loud scroll
#

no he was pretty bad he couldnt sustain himself very well

pallid thorn
#

i dont do fruit. i do SAWS.

dull ingot
#

that was the thing tho
risk some health for a damage reward

outer sleet
#

Which beacon things have you guys been running on Captain?

glossy pumice
#

hp regen from R and M1, Solid sustained Aoe dmg, and mobility too

plucky comet
#

i had 100% crit and harvester scythes

dull ingot
#

now tho his regen completely nullifies all the challenge

glossy pumice
#

using the Hp costing skills

arctic terrace
#

alright gotta do 1 non command match if rng gives me shit again im gonna unlock the artifacts

plucky comet
#

tbh i also had like 10x razor wire

#

the scrapper is the best

oak ferry
#

oh wow, Merc got a HARD nerf

#

sucks to suck

arctic terrace
#

its a sidegrade tbh

plucky comet
#

nah, he has higher skill floor

arctic terrace
#

u get more dmg on your ult

glossy pumice
#

idk its sidegrade, they moved the power around

dull ingot
#

lower hp is a huge nerf?

glossy pumice
#

you have to actually use brain for dmg output

arctic terrace
#

but yeah it takes 1 more hit to clear trash mobs now

glossy pumice
#

oh yeah i guess the hp regen and hp nerfs are a hit

polar anvil
#

He also got regen down

oak ferry
#

regen down, scaling down

plucky comet
#

the cooldown reduction is nice though

pallid thorn
#

my captain runs end when i get killed in one hit. health is a must.

arctic terrace
#

i guess they want people to be in iframe more often

glossy pumice
#

but i dont really notice it honestly. If you manage cds and spacing well you shouldnt have much issue

arctic terrace
#

still cant do mithrix lul unless you cheese with slicing wind

strong vine
#

do we know captains proc co yet? His m1 seems high.

plucky comet
#

hes now even more of a glass cannon really

polar anvil
#

Use your shift and R for iframes

dull ingot
#

0.75 on each pellet @strong vine

strong vine
#

yeah i feel it

oak ferry
#

"nano bomb inferior to spear" how tho, nano bomb is SO much better

arctic terrace
#

his ult slam breaks your pace

glossy pumice
#

damn, 0.75? thats pretty good

plucky comet
#

when i just sucked ass and couldnt unlock rex i would salvage the run as merc with i frames so my back wouldnt explode

glossy pumice
#

thats a proc coeff of 6 if all pellets hit

dull ingot
#

it's not

spark oyster
#

Merc was nerfed

oak ferry
#

ive never seen anyone use spear as arti

arctic terrace
#

same lol damage is lower

polar anvil
#

@oak ferry the freeze was much better thqn aoe cuz arti doesn't lack aoe

strong vine
#

yeah i was shooting like 4 atgs per shot with the clover at one point

arctic terrace
#

no aoe

drifting shore
#

merc nerfed GWunuDrakeNo
merc skill ceiling raised GWomoDrakeYea

oak ferry
#

aight but the arcs that come off nano bomb

#

shoot it in a general direction and you wipe all the trash

spark oyster
#

Lol ok
I'll be posting my review tonight

polar anvil
#

Or just
Shoot

glossy pumice
#

thoughts on the new gravity for artis beach ball?

oak ferry
#

nano bomb is WAY faster clear than m1

glossy pumice
#

i dont like it

dull ingot
#

Execute is still better imo

oak ferry
#

hellfire is bigger and lasts longer sweat

devout saddle
#

Have people already brought up soft locking on the final stage?

deep veldt
#

ok so how do i cheese mithrix

loud scroll
#

so many times

glossy pumice
#

first you need to get him in a big jug of milk

deep veldt
#

oh yikes

lucid plank
#

No, Kai, what is this soft-lock thou speakest of? Is it comedic?

devout saddle
#

If only

deep veldt
#

u talking about comedy island?

oak ferry
devout saddle
#

I bought a friend a game and his first experience was getting soft locked at the end so he refunded it

#

:(

deep veldt
#

u talking about the refoge shop on the moon

devout saddle
#

Yeah

deep veldt
#

bruh

#

ive gotten stuck there two times

#

just add a damn geyser hopoo

polar anvil
#

You need 3 hopoo feathers to get out

worthy turret
#

Yeah the initial release has some softlock or crashing problems

plucky comet
#

you need to jump off the highest point, then try to go closesr to the main platform with some luck it will teleport you on top of the main platform

oak ferry
robust tangle
#

just play merc lol

deep veldt
#

like soulbound catalyst + please forgive me

plucky comet
#

captain literally has no mobility, the shotgun is fun though

oak ferry
#

tbf, I didn't notice the floating rocks my first couple tries

#

it's actually not that hard to get across

#

I thought if you couldn't make the jump to the arch your run was over lmao

deep veldt
#

should have an alternate primary that does more damage but pushes you back a tiny bit so i can abuse it with 5000 syringes with command artifact

#

for captain that is

polar anvil
#

Flight

woven valve
#

how do you unlock the microbots item log ?

glossy pumice
#

i dont think you can currently

dull ingot
#

you can, but it's better to wait for the patch

warm cairn
#

if you use the artifact that makes shadow clones you can get it as a drop

pale roost
#

You can with vengeance

woven valve
#

oh wow

oak ferry
#

that reminds me, i still need to get metamorphosis

deep veldt
#

yeah

#

it doesnt stack tho

pallid thorn
#

question, is the doppleganger AI different from standard enemy AI?

deep veldt
#

no its different

polar anvil
#

There's several enemy AI

#

Specify

deep veldt
#

its different for each character as well

pallid thorn
#

most of them follow the directive of

if see enemy, throw ability at enemy
or get in range to throw
loop

west bolt
#

my fucking heart
im dying

deep veldt
#

bruh defensive microbots stacks

pallid thorn
#

?

deep veldt
#

it can shoot down +1 more projectile per 0.5 seconds

pallid thorn
#

oh.

deep veldt
#

thats kinda op

pallid thorn
#

oh no

west bolt
#

not like you can get it though

deep veldt
#

you can

west bolt
#

besides with that one artifact?

deep veldt
#

yeah

west bolt
#

wich arent meant to be balanced

deep veldt
#

its gonna be op on engi tho

#

i mean vengance hardly makes the game any easier

pallid thorn
#

preons self

deep veldt
#

and you have to rely on having no items apart from the microbots

crude ginkgo
#

ok is it just me or does mythrix feel really poorly balanced?
having just a few enemies that essentially 1 or 2-shot isn't how the rest of the game handles bosses

west bolt
#

|| Mithrix || fight took so long in my run

crude ginkgo
#

it's just tedious

west bolt
#

Captain barely did any dmg

glossy pumice
#

anyone know if purity and clover cancel out

#

or if it does the rolls for both? in what order?

deep veldt
#

what does purity do

#

the opposite of clover?

glossy pumice
#

yeah p much

pallid thorn
#

an artifacer's wet dream.

deep veldt
#

thats a terrible item ngl

#

sorry

sinful anvil
#

Merc can be unkillable with it

deep veldt
#

i mean just get brainstalks

pallid thorn
#

or have no conditions.
