the only downside i have with captain is that he does so much damage that he will oneshot weak enemies making onhits less useful
nah
ok his shotty feels 1 procc for sure - even .75 is insane
i think that's intentional though
Huh, ya know whats interesting
about captains passive drone i mean
its actually not a total defence from projectiles
also anyone else noticed how captain wears crit glasses its better than huntress
yes i have
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
i love captain with glasses
the shift on captain is op
The only item visuals i care about are meat and hammer in acrid's mouth
personally i struggle to get through stage 5 with captain when relying on RNG
i care about getting glasses on engis turrets
as in not using command
Once mods start working again i think im gonna test what happens if you add like 100 syringes to captain
lol
cause i bet he'll turn into a semiauto slug launcher
syringes aint great on cap
Yeah
? syringes are good on captain im not gonna pass one up
Syringes are good on cap
i guess
True but they do speed up how fast his spread decreases
i mean i havnt really gotton syringes yet
Yes
holding the mouse doesn't add more damage it just thins the shots
i dunno if its just my imagination but i think they also make his defence drone block projectiles faster
so syringe isnt bad
15 syringes made it semiauto slug rifle already
ooh
yeah it scales with attack speed
@median fox it does
You don't know the scaling
i guess
Syringe printer stage 1
not great
i mean
stage 1 printers are ass
really helpful
i mean a syringe printer when u have loads of items
Honestly my fave part about captains drone is...
if i see a syringe printer stage 1 and i got like. warbanner or something thats a free syringe
i have greatly udnerestimated how long it takes for captain to pirate a legendary chest
You'd have enough block already i think
It can completely shut down malachite enemies
you should be able to recycle scrap with the recycler to higher teir scrap
even their ground based AOE's get deleted by the drone
Scrap scrap scrap
if you scrap scrap wouldnt you just get worse scrap
prob
Yes
refined scrap
it deletes it
edit: idk if it does
Gray scrap
anyway yeah i do think that if a run isnt looking good by stage 4 with captain its probably worth just resetting
allies can gain microbots right?
Think so
drones can
Actually it even deletes the Malachite eye thing that spawns on the death of a Malachite which is fun
not sure about beetles and stuff @deep veldt
Im more curious of how his drone interacts with umbras
microbots are items so i wanna see what happens if u forcespawn microbots onto engi and place down turrets
Captain vs captain with 100 syringes would probs be infinite fight
Well im boutta test cap v cap right now to see how that works
wasnt merc meant to get an alternate shift?
@deep veldt you can do that in co-op,if you kill captain umbra without cap having any items
You host
k
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
Hey I'm on the Moon and I think I'm stuck please help I have no idea how to get up
Rip run
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
death mark is useless
yes
is it possible to enable cheats mid run
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402082789266030592/743105778998575124/unknown.png man this is easily the worst void i've ever had
Is it just me or did merc get hit pretty hard from this patch
i think he's about the same.
his life regen is terrible, its really bad
@still needle I keep appearing at the Cauldron shop, different jump spots for the same result ://
went form 2.5 to 1
its more that strong enemies with high helth are more common now.
Probably just havnt maximized the autos debuff
but yeah his survivability esp early sucks ass
Captain on other hand is hella lack luster
if you dont get any heal items at stage one, your kinda fucked
oh yea./
I don’t think I’ve been able to use his secondary ability at all
Also still hard to get used to rmb cancelling dash
@forest fog which character?
Capt'n
only place where i use captains rightclick is in void fields
my main problem is that the captain sucks.
@forest fog what you could do then is try to find a mobility item and trade for it at the cauldron
Captain does suck pretty bad lol
Captain seems really cool in design
he needs an r cooldown badly.
minimun items to get across are 2 energy drinks and 1 hopoo @forest fog
Unless the Interstellar Desk Plant is a mobility item, there aren't any here @still needle
it hurts him to not have freedom of choice.
then ur run is fucked
are you in multiplayer?
Single
he is not
u need a double jump or fly
yeah
i don't think so
minimum items to make it is 2 energy drink 1 hopoo feather with no mobility
which is bs
indeed
how the fuck did this get through qa testing
i dont know.
it’s more bs that the island exists but yea
you can also have 2 hopoo feather right?
probably didn't test it
Literally hardlocked if you don't have enough movement
@robust tangle yeah
in defense of softlock island, i feel like players were intended to know what they were getting themselves into.. and seek items accordingly
@drifting shore no
yea 2 hopoo works but I was talking minimum items
no
the new level is a mess, the new character has so many flaws, the boss is a big what. its bad.
can you enable cheats mid run
Yeah my Reds are Meat Hook, Disc, Plant, Behemoth :'//
a softlock is a softlock, noobtrap or not.
kinda just wanna noclip back to main island
@drifting shore don’t try to justify a soft lock
i know the execution of the idea isnt good, but it does sound nice in theory
this update was a bit underwhelming for the amount of time it took to come out
it needed a delay.
but at least we got actually good yellow items and the voodoo doll
i absolutely will justify the idea of softlock but not necessarily how it has happened
the bongo is also fun despite the fact it doesn’t work on cap
Voodoo doll is cool
I HIGHLY doubt that the soft lock was intended meaning you shouldn’t justify it
probably not intended
@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."
voodoo is my favorite item now
I think the scrapper is amazing
i agree
this update has a few major flaws but overall i think it’s a good update
almost everything has problems but the boss to be quite honest.
captain has no kit in hidden realms.
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
I scrapped a red item by accident
it might not be fun but hey, wise'd up '
@drifting shore I think the boss being immensely strong is more of a way to show that instead of a fucking softlock
yeah
@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?
rex R skill makes the final boss a joke
is artificer still bad
yes.
oof
Engineer makes the boss a joke too
Tbh, Idrc that captain is bad solo, he seem fine in multiplayer from what I’ve played
yeah actually, its a roguelike after all
things can screw u over withotu warning
suddenly people are not on board with dying and restarting
are you stupid
because you cant do anything about it.
i thought that was a staple of the genre
???
thats why theres a problem.
Roguelikes usually kill you in ways you can mitigate with player skill
i love having to die and restart when it is completely and utterly not my fault
a staple isn't unfair instant death, you can usually do SOMETHING about it.
Sometimes you get RNG-fucked in any roguelike, but you can usually outplay any given scenario
have you ever played spelunky?
tbh, yes i'd say going in there withou proper mobility is your fault
tbh, yes i'd say going in there withou proper mobility is your fault
@drifting shore you dont always get mobility
that is true
lol level design balancing around items in a game where items are random
@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
even if someone makes it to the boss but there is someone stuck on the island the boss will not start
imagine not playing merc
are you the host @jolly seal
i was yeah
oh my, multiplayer sounds particularly rough
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.
Plus, a softlock isn’t a teaching mechanism intended by the devs
i can concede to that as well
they can quit and rejoin and be on the main island @jolly seal
no one
how could you not just "ok is this possible WITHOUT movement items?"
@buoyant thicket one of my buds did that was put in as a spectator.
no we have to push out this update now
my moon horror story is having the mobility to reach the boss but not having the mobility to leave the boss
that was...something
yeah exactly
"no delays just ride out your flagship update no biggie" - the devs, probably.
thats fucking stupid
So they didn't patch softlock island yet?
nope
Lobbies don't have kick?
no im still shitting and farting and coping
its been less than a day
there’ll be fixes and changes in the near future and then everything will be fine
that bounce pad is work in progress probably
lol
i mostly just feel like the last stage shouldve been more of an actual stage.
almost all of the terrain in the last level needs a redo.
the last level is fine other than the island
1 year for what exactly?
i mean, it's a boss stage, not a stage stage
idk for me it didnt have any of the charm the ues contact light had.
the boss was cool. but the stage? white
i kinda agree
"i like blue rocks"
any alternatives to runalds for death mark? the changes to the band make it no longer useful for constant death mark procs
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
I was half asleep fighting the boss
Yeah I like the aesthetic, it IS the moon after all
thats a fair point, it is supposed to be bleak i guess
Can you shred Captain's drone?
he’s meant to be king of nothing the moon should be bland and boring
like shove the drone into a 3d printer? yeah
yes you can shred it and it gives you a new one
No, SHRED it
scrap it..?
thats too OP
nah, its a good item.
yes it needs a fix
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
kinda..? i dont run into legedary printers often enough to make use of a red scrap
yeah
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.
the item itself invalidates two bosses, and multiple enemies.
when game keeps giving u defensive item
I literally just closed the game at that point
fuck
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
dude just pick up feathers and energy drinks its that easy
quick, AGING CONTEST.
Oh uh where do you give yourself character roles?
#role-assignment maybe?
Oh completely missed that channel lol
its been.. changed
is it just me or are captains alternative ult options funtionally pointless?
in ways thati dont like lol
free legendary chest
what why
whats the best loadout for rex
the hack is good @pallid thorn
is holding space for flight not good?
hack and heal are the best ones
then how lol
well yes but you sacrifice a LOADOUT SLOT to get a single legendary.
so they made milky extra useless lol
just.. idk, aim ur camera upwards i guess
What are the alternate captain skills? Haven’t gotten them yet
thats fucking retarded
@pallid thorn you sacrifice for free chests period
milky is VERY useful against the boss
its like effigy tier trash now
oh it has its uses, like on the moon
lmao
@oak ferry but you could have more healing or power in your setup and just farm instead.
stacking feathers might even be better at this point
I'd assume it's for speed > utility
stacking feathers and taking another equipment was always better imo
get through stages faster with more items
i suppose? but that seems needlessly risky.
at least with old milky u could kite and cheese
but like just use black hole and kill them all
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.
or preon and destroy them, or sawmerang for big groups
you could also take elephant for more defense
or you could hellfire if you hate them not social distancing.,
eccentric vase for just going places... and coming back.
at this point its just better.
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
Kinda wish tge ult had a larger radius though
i wish it had a cooldown and he had a fourth ability for more than 2% of the game.
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
so... in the time it would take to just farm the chest... you could wait and buy the chest.
why?
It speeds up the run. You buy other chests instead
Still, capt has more power in his M1 than most survivors have in a spread out kit
debatable.
you can farm for others @pallid thorn
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
I like using it for things that you can go back to, or purchase during a teleporter.
or gold chest for red item
Unless you give a reason 🙂
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.
Loader is still the queen of damage though
Are you picking up crit and on hit items?
engineer bleed build was a better low health targets than his shotty.
loader is literally built for melee tank and bursty damage.
His m1 is still really solid. Only problem is your finger breaks off halfway through the run due to over-clicking
He seems to have a higher chance to proc or at least it feels like it
it is.
its normal proc on a pellet by pellet basis.
its also hitscan, and a crit affects the whole shot.
I sense a good bleed build here
isn't there a challenge for activating six turrets?
yes.
alive at once or just in one run?
well I tried the doll + Soulbound catalyst ... don't do it
dont know,.
Oh yeah, he's rediculous with a bit of crit and the new imp lord item
holy fucking shit
they made this game so much goddamn harder
5 mins per stage is no longer doable
"i have more nothing AHAHAHAHAH"
doll and soulbound is my favorite new busted enablers :v
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
It freeze too much infinite doll at some point
Mired urn and opinion is dumb
mired urn is dumb.
just don't pick gestures @thick crystal
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
sure ... but I like gesture D:
Please Forgive Me builds are fun
he has poor alternatives @dull ingot
yeah
does that item work with the ghors tome?
gesture + soul bound catalyst + a few fuel cells and your game go crash
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.
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
1 gesture + soulbound + the doll your game freeze enough already
i spent 8 minutes looking for the tp it wasn’t worth continuing it was so bad
what stage,
guess
i dunno theres a lot of stages.
what's soulbound again?
on kill recharge equip.
kill reduce activable cd
the third stage that’s not the snow one
oh....
it was IN A CAVE.
worst state in the game aside from swamp by the way i hate it
the best spot in the game!
i havent tried the hack beacon but i dont think its gonna be useful?
absolutely not
like money isnt necessarily an issue
it was such a good run too i just got fucked cause of bad tp spawn rng
its not that bad.
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"
idk what to take as captain beacon yet ... equipable one seems useless ...
just go up top or go into the cave.
HACK
im running double heal because its a 20% heal per second
I just do 2x health
his beacon is kinda boring tbh
Its useful for abys gold chest and getting the big drone without neglecting looting the rest of the stage or waiting too long
“into the cave” we are not talking about the same stage
the third stage that’s not the snow one
well WHAT STAGE,.
i forget what it’s called
his heal space is kinda small
and im n ot a fan of sitting around :c
yeah but 20% heal is kinda useless too
whats hilarious is that the beacon does damage upon landing so i usually fucking chuck it directrly on the boss and wail
Scorched acres
yes
i do damage with them too
you dont need to sit around, you kinda just run around
oh, its in the top platform.
It can be a godsend first loop but then they all fall off
thanks! it wasn’t
and if you get rejuv rack or aegis you are set but i do agree they fall off hard
I have crit and harvester's scythes, so if I get a crit as captain it counts as 8 crits for the heal lol
Stun stays useful
sometimes it can spawn behind one of them or in front of the crystal so the particals dont show well @robust stump
I did a run and after 40 minutes i was like "Oh yeah I have beacons"
the stun one is kinda mediocre cos it doenst affect bosses
I'm pretty sure healing items are affected by proc coefficient
and like the tase speed is way too fucking low
Do any stuns affect them?
either way i ran around for 8 minutes then quit because there’s no point continuing that run
negative
I see most enemies entering the stun field get locked in there
So it would be 8x(bullet x proc coefficient)
that’s my main issue with scorched acres is like. if you get a bad tp spawn you gotta quit or find it fast
no.
wetland aspects + scorched acres are the maps that fuck me the hardest for TP spawns
or just learn the spawn locations
I think you guys care too much about time too
i have a rough idea of where the TP spawns are but i keep getting surprised
^
thats never the case. go island - top back - top far. always find it.
and check the middle.
also can u not see the huge amount of yellow particles?
yea i can.
that’s fun when you’re playing captain with 0 mobility items
captain free red scrap is fun tho
“huge amount” that’s what im saying there weren’t any particles
Time makes and breaks runs @vocal mason
i would honestly never scrap the active protection system
there were, they dont show well there.
its way too good
you don’t need mobility to get to any tp that’s a u problem mate
well yea but don't take 8 minutes
you get it back every stage
its not about getting to a TP its about saving time
so you scrap it get a red scrap then get bots back
@thick crystal oh shit aight
then do a lap damnit!
i did a lap and lost 5 minutes but aight
So instead of going to the moon, how do I just keep going
@oak ferry touch the outside rims of the teleporter first
touch the ring.
eh?
it can be changed.
you know how theres a "ring" around the Primordial teleporter
touch the things around the tp.
press E on it, and it should say aligning with <not the moon>
it goes back to start.
I personally think scorched acres has really easy spawns to learn as the map is pretty linear
scorched acres doesnt mess me up anymore but wetlands still does occcasionally
wetland doesnt mess me up at all its just scorched
does doppelganger also have your equipment
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
@idle copper yes.
I find wetlands really tough
I go longer than 5 minutes per stage and I'm doing fine
7 minutes is my max that I allow myself to take
wetland is pretty easy for me since it's a pretty small map
scorched acres is smaller than wetlands
scorched acres is a pretty big map where teleporters can spawn practically under the map so i dont like it
acres is smaller.
it feels bigger
^
well they did make the game harder as a whole so
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
movement is less available in acres due to the bridges
i can't even comprehend this
wetland you have 30 ways to get anywhere
and not under, its so easy to find it. just look in all 3 low spots.
new bands no bueno 
@arctic terrace theyre all MULT mains in disguise
? bands arent even that bad theyre just situational LOL
the new bands suck ass on captain so i scrap them asap
goodbye wedding vows, you will become nice ATG missiles
I love the concept of the bands but the cd is kinda weird
@dull ingot ..? they proc on the orbital strikes doe
Still, if it had no CD it'd proc off of itself
they are just bad, like worse than their original
how are bands going to hit flying targets as captain
it's supposed to be a nerf @arctic terrace
exactly
New bands are good on characters who have tons of strong hits on command. Like Artificer.
....?????? ryer i JUST said
But on say commando, they're pretty eh
the fuckers cant even stay still long enough for you to orbital strike them
orbital strike procs flying enemies my dude just use it on a flying enemy and shoot them into it
i mean missles is better than band in every way now
yes i know orbital strike procs bands but why bother when you can have literally anything else and itll be better
better yet why are you using bands on flying enemies to begin with
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
what.
bands aren't that bad you're just too used to having that free damage
...also i feel that dropping a probe on a boss with both bands will be very profitable.
yeah then put the change as a nerf in the patch notes, not pretend it was a sidegrade
@sinful anvil it was a proc chance of 7% before, shared between the two.
yes...bands got nerfed...so im no longer to use them
thats kinda how a meta works lmao
they aren’t pretending it’s a side grade lul
and thats a problem for everyone but artiface and loader.
and chrysalis is also nerfed hard
The band change is really sweet for Arti
i never used it to begin with
i see the problem here.
its already not a common equipment that people use now literally no one will use it
Everyone else already had good items, arti and loader had what? Focus crystals and crowbars?
MULT + rebar + band == always proc
arti had fuck all, loader has focus and crowbars and general movespeed items
Is there a list of the new lunars? I'm not completely sure what they do
there’s 3 new ones I think
lol now people will just pick missles over bands now lmao
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.
Defiant Gouge, Mercurial Rachis, Purity
What's the lunar with the hammer and.... Bat? Paddle?
Defiant Gouge makes all shrines summon enemies a la shrine of combat
gouge spawns enemies at every shrine
thats defiant gouge, hammer and paddle
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
Mercurial Rachis spawns the damage boost area, it's underwhelming
Mercurial rachis resembles a dinosaur spine
it ended a run by spawning many, may bosses.
It's pretty weird that instead of adding a new item they changed an old one to fit a niche, but i welcome that
i dont.
Bands aren’t bad Spectal lol
they are lol
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
they aren’t you’re just used to having free damage procs
like i said theres no reason to pick bands over missles now
They aren't bad, but they're very different from the old ones
they’re stronger but proc less often
no the damage is literally the same
You take bands over missiles because they’re a guaranteed proc
Missiles do barely anything for arti and loader so they'll pick them
Captain can also use them
like every 10 sec? with missles i could get more out in that timeframe
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.
And bands have AOE
MISSLES DO TOO.
Missiles will also proc bands
they're probably better than atg if you don't have clover
SO GET MORE MISSLES.
Oh yeah
so....get more missiles
and buffs don’t mean just straight damage
MULT mains are having a field day with bands, and so are artificer & loader
yes they do.
If you have more than 3 missiles they also proc bands
also loader takes missles because they can one shot bosses with it
not sure if they changed that
kjaros is better than mussels in every way for AoE
loader with bands is very VERY good
if you’re a loader prioritising missiles over bands that’s a you problem
is it safe to install mods on 1.0?
missles are better for crowds because less enemies = less problems. hitting lots of things =/= less problems.
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
@hushed rock i don't think most mods updated yet
lmao this guy never 1 shot a 1hr loop elite boss with missles on loader before
Yeah but you don’t always choose
But bands also do AOE, and a bigger one if you have the ice band.
yea but thats a bad argument.
im talking about the current bands not the old ones
because this is about if you could.
Spectal i’ve 1 shot a 1hr loop elite boss with new bands tho :(
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
low proc characters actually have better damage, so missles do more because of damage scales.
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?
missiles can also proc themselves.
ive seen it. its dumb.
i actually grinded all bands when i happen to found missile printer and a shredder together in 1 run
never regretted it
no ukelele though. just missle.
Really? I could’ve sworn that didn’t work and you needed ATG+Uke to get a proc chain
nope.
Damn
the rocket itself has a proc coefficient of 1.
Low-ass Chance without clover though
command + all missle = free kills.
so its 10% to proc 300%, and another 10%
also it stacks chance.
command is free
with enough missiles and crowds it can reliably go off on its own.
unless you're someone that actually attacks once every ~10 sec its a direct downgrade
you still need to shoot, but it happens often enough to be notable.
Ok artifact of command, I think it’d still be optimal to take 1 of each band and then stack missiles
Having an AOE bomb every 10 seconds that does more damage than your missiles sounds nice
it is nice on certain characters
lol 350 vs 300
It’s not 700% every 10 seconds
It’s 700% of the missile damage
Bands aren’t base damage
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
eh, but at that point why are you even going for less than zombie missiles that kill instantly.
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
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
or... you could get 3 to 5 extra missile procs for more damage than the bands.
did you not read the rest of my sentence
what a single band is like 300%
yes
Fugg, almost got captain mastery
600% of the ATGs damage is a lot of damage
yeah thats only true if u can get to the threshold
With a few ATG stacks you will
how do daggers work with captain
each of his shotgun shots has a proc chance of 1 from what i heard
via patch notes
insert laugh track here
Known**
i see
there are so many issues that it's laughable
Crowbar isn't that good with him
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
It only boosts like one of the 8 shots I believe from what I see
orbital bombardment.
so getting just a few bleed daggers is very strong on captain
but why not take both?
not saying u cant take both, its just that they are simply gutted
Proc a band with missiles is the same as landing 6 missiles
*7 counting the original
or get 7 more and get more missiles to begin with overall.
its not a good alternative.
More ATGs does not effect proc chance
yea
it does.
You won’t have more
but then 7 becomes 14 and more damage = more good
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
IIRC, only sticky bomb and tri tip have proc chances that go up with stacks
oh right - bleed from mediocre to broken
and lets not forget about urn sucking everything, including allies
I’ve literally been waiting for over a year to be able to suck my allies in ROR2
even though its supposed to drain a single enemy per stack
also if you have both bands it’s 550% damage
merc has more burst at the cost of survivability now
"hey guys i think we need to wait a bit im not sure about this as our release" "we shipped it yesterday steve."
thats a sidegrade
It makes sense it sucks allies
ah, right - a single scrap is worth 3 to 5 scraps in bazaar apparently
It fits the flavor
The dunestriders suck everything, so now you do to
it makes sense lore wise not gameplay wise
that wraps it up
does dunestrider suck not do dmg anymore
it does.
it does?
it felt like it didnt lol
its a low amount.
before its actually a threat
I got destroyed in monsoon by a couple of dunestriders
its... there.
also no more sound effect
didn’t have good items but still
Blue meteorite is in the game, I think hurting your friends is an integral part of ROR2
bruh that king mf is hard asf
Getting a bunch of drones with captain makes some bosses super easy XD
any tips on the boss??
yea but thats the idea with a LUNAR item. this is a RARE, BOSS related item.
im just annoyed that we got no new skill additions
hmmmmmmmmm
You need mobility for the boss
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
make sure you have mobility, stay up high
all those survivors with no alternative skills, lmao
he has no aerial
im talking more about the part where he takes ur items
ik hitting him gets them back
You can burst him down while he’s taking them
if you have a good dmg dealing equipment its easier
so preon?/
but that phase is honestly quite easy, the patterns are simple
or royal cap
Ig
which characters do u play?
I managed to kill him with 2 shaped glass and 3 fuel cells and a capacitor before he took my items
does he give items back based on damage or amount of hits
Probably damage? Idk
damage
Loader and Archer
but i mostly use archer with shapped glass which usually bits back when he takes it lmao
try to burst him down with ur gauntlet and ur R
I don’t know how to play Huntress
THANK U AND CYA
tfw 9/10 areas and a scavenger instanukes you with lightning
captains hack falls off remarkably quick 
i dont remember being this wealthy by stage 4.....
yea i dont like that that happens.
What does wanderlust do btw
worst case he has gasoline and your squad dies.
oh thats lame
Do we have any more logbook entries about Kurskan the Heretic other than from Visions of Heresy and Strides of Heresy?
honestly im not too sure about heal cause when things are hairy I can't stay on it or I'll die
also true 
So not sure what TO use
shocking one probably
The starting shock/heal combo is solid
the shock one kinda sucks. it has low range and is single use.
i'll probably use heal and hack
alright i mean.. all of them are low range and single use 
i do like hack tho, cuz im dirt poor in stage 1-3
but i guess TC is rarer than I thought, now that I need it I can't find it
yes but shock does nothing directly helpfull.
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
ranged enemies cant shoot you.
wisps says hi
he has a passive.
If you're building attack speed like you should, ranged attacks are useless
Almost beat final boss with Forgive me please + Soulbound catalyst + desk plant + Topaz + monster tooth + gasoline
They call me Johnny appleseed cause I covered the entire map in my green seed and never died
If we're talking about late game then you can just forget about his R since his M1 with proc chance is extremely good
well, no
projectiles specifically
hit scan cough wisps will still shit on you
they shoot projectiles. just bery fast ones.
i think the shockwave from the beetleguards actually count as projectiles and that amuses me
it does.
It does
Just kill wisps 5head smh
thers like 20 of em
afaik captain's Red item does not stop wisp shots, so they arent projectiles
Just shoot 20 times
it stops one or two shots. its a shotgun.
just get a uke
The shotgun shoots 8 bullets, that's 8 wisps killed per shot smh
I'm p sure it doesn't hit wisps tbh
is it just me or is the zapping beacon really bad
it does.
'cause I kept getting shot when I was runnigng around, and the drone wasn't even trying
All I hada round me were wisps
zapping beacon is actually really good vs stunable ground based mobs
is it just me or is the beacons in general pretty bad 
but yes, the zapping beacon isnt great
kite the ones you cant kill right now into, they get perma cc'd and you can focus the other priority targets
They're good but only on the first 2-3 stages
Probably use the heal more for emergencies (Like sniping an out of control Mountain tele)
you need choke points for it to really shine
Not just spamming them on the tele
'cause it DOES heal really quick if you can get away
I've been stacking two heals, but kiting seems the better choice
are they infinite duration or timed? Also can they be killed?
infinite.
unkillable
They don't die
they sit there. and you get one of each.
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
cheese is god tier for Mithra in general
yea. engie turrets are nigh unkillable and he can't take their items.
until the ground shockwaves hit one and they die Q-Q
i think my drones just like the ground too much
inb4 aegis.
If you have the tentacle nuke thing, he basically kills himself on engie
barbed wire.
He instakills turrets
live him to death.
So wire is eh on him
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.
tfw god ages out first
I honestly though the fight would be hell for engi after doing it as huntress
lets be honest engie is built on cheese and its a cheesable boss.
very
also theres a channel for that.
engie is built on zero skill required
"i will stand here, if this sword in a slingshot kills you it wasn't my fault" fires slingshot from lawn chair
more like "im gonna stand here with a sword. Walk into it."
anyone tried out the new scrap launcher for multi? it any good?
sips martini
it got changed a lot this patch though
is it still a shitty bazooka?
it's actually a rocket now
it is now a rocket launcher rather than grenade launcher
not grenade
neat.
Speaking of mul-t:
Wait a second, is there no chngelog on steam?
The last thing it shows on the news is the artifact update
This might be known already but I just found a dumbass mul-t strat haha.
idk where it is I saw it a video
thats a steam thing.
i guess game has too much items that command is actually needed lol
i keep getting shit thats useless to me
oh i got it from the notes in the patch notes channel
Which reds or just build in general have people found works best on commando?
Since Rebar got changed, using double Rebar might actually be optimal lmao.
not commando, captain
clover. on hit. crit.
yeah build him like multi with auto nailgun; on-hit bleed
might do an n'kahuna if you feel frisky.
Is Opus a constant passive?
no
Ive been building behemoth with full crit + the new yellow that inflicts bleed on crits
Triggering it doesn't seem to do anything
its broken
and ive been melting basically everything
it's only broken on captain
yeah he shoots a butt ton of pellets with some Attack Speed investment so you should be able to keep bleed stacks for days
he has like no mobility though, wish he had a dash or something to replace the stupid taser
behemoth is very good for captain, yeah
bruh, rex is so op, i just unlocked him and completely anihilated the boss on my first run, gotta try captain now
rex can root the last boss btw LOL
never liked rex
rex is real strong nowadays
REALLY?
behemoth is nice
yup
rex has the best dmg output from his base kit
he was bad when he first came out
hope they dont nerf it
out of everyone. I think hes op honestly
he was balanced @loud scroll
the boss just stole 3 items before he got destroyed
no he was pretty bad he couldnt sustain himself very well
i dont do fruit. i do SAWS.
that was the thing tho
risk some health for a damage reward
Which beacon things have you guys been running on Captain?
hp regen from R and M1, Solid sustained Aoe dmg, and mobility too
i had 100% crit and harvester scythes
now tho his regen completely nullifies all the challenge
using the Hp costing skills
alright gotta do 1 non command match if rng gives me shit again im gonna unlock the artifacts
its a sidegrade tbh
nah, he has higher skill floor
u get more dmg on your ult
idk its sidegrade, they moved the power around
lower hp is a huge nerf?
you have to actually use brain for dmg output
but yeah it takes 1 more hit to clear trash mobs now
oh yeah i guess the hp regen and hp nerfs are a hit
He also got regen down
regen down, scaling down
the cooldown reduction is nice though
my captain runs end when i get killed in one hit. health is a must.
i guess they want people to be in iframe more often
but i dont really notice it honestly. If you manage cds and spacing well you shouldnt have much issue
still cant do mithrix lul unless you cheese with slicing wind
do we know captains proc co yet? His m1 seems high.
hes now even more of a glass cannon really
Use your shift and R for iframes
0.75 on each pellet @strong vine
yeah i feel it
"nano bomb inferior to spear" how tho, nano bomb is SO much better
his ult slam breaks your pace
damn, 0.75? thats pretty good
when i just sucked ass and couldnt unlock rex i would salvage the run as merc with i frames so my back wouldnt explode
thats a proc coeff of 6 if all pellets hit
it's not
Merc was nerfed
ive never seen anyone use spear as arti
same lol damage is lower
@oak ferry the freeze was much better thqn aoe cuz arti doesn't lack aoe
yeah i was shooting like 4 atgs per shot with the clover at one point
no aoe
merc nerfed 
merc skill ceiling raised 
aight but the arcs that come off nano bomb
shoot it in a general direction and you wipe all the trash
Lol ok
I'll be posting my review tonight
Or just
Shoot
thoughts on the new gravity for artis beach ball?
nano bomb is WAY faster clear than m1
i dont like it
Execute is still better imo
hellfire is bigger and lasts longer 
Have people already brought up soft locking on the final stage?
ok so how do i cheese mithrix
so many times
first you need to get him in a big jug of milk
oh yikes
No, Kai, what is this soft-lock thou speakest of? Is it comedic?
If only
u talking about comedy island?
oh
I bought a friend a game and his first experience was getting soft locked at the end so he refunded it
:(
u talking about the refoge shop on the moon
Yeah
You need 3 hopoo feathers to get out
Yeah the initial release has some softlock or crashing problems
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
cries in island
just play merc lol
like soulbound catalyst + please forgive me
captain literally has no mobility, the shotgun is fun though
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
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
Flight
how do you unlock the microbots item log ?
i dont think you can currently
you can, but it's better to wait for the patch
if you use the artifact that makes shadow clones you can get it as a drop
You can with vengeance
oh wow
that reminds me, i still need to get metamorphosis
question, is the doppleganger AI different from standard enemy AI?
no its different
its different for each character as well
most of them follow the directive of
if see enemy, throw ability at enemy
or get in range to throw
loop
bruh defensive microbots stacks
?
it can shoot down +1 more projectile per 0.5 seconds
oh.
thats kinda op
oh no
not like you can get it though
you can
besides with that one artifact?
yeah
wich arent meant to be balanced
preons self
and you have to rely on having no items apart from the microbots
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
|| Mithrix || fight took so long in my run
it's just tedious
Captain barely did any dmg
anyone know if purity and clover cancel out
or if it does the rolls for both? in what order?
an artifacer's wet dream.
Merc can be unkillable with it
i mean just get brainstalks
or have no conditions.
