Huh

#

Neat

red echo
#

@shadow thistle mostly just experience, i usually shoot for like ~4, 5 minutes max per stage on monsoon

#

so like stage 1 i'm trying to hit the teleporter by ~3 minutes at the latest regardless of what items i've found

shadow thistle
#

Huh.. sounds risky not gonna lie

red echo
#

the game is all about risk vs reward 🤷‍♂️

shadow thistle
#

Fair enough

red echo
#

i think woolie's thing is he tries to leave stage 1 with 3-4 items including the teleporter item

#

(which also works out to about 4 minutes a stage if you're pacing well)

shadow thistle
#

It just feels like without those items from first stages I’m going to struggle

red echo
#

you probably feel that way because you're farming first stage too long and later mobs are stronger than they should be

#

your first farming stage should be stage 4

humble shard
#

you will struggle but you'll be ahead and then you can start taking your time

shadow thistle
#

Though then again, I can go to Void Fields for more items

red echo
#

for a quick mithrix run or just consistent early game in general your goto strat should usually be rush to stage 4, farm up there and try to do void going into sky meadows imo

shadow thistle
#

Dio’s on mobs is such a crapshow btw

serene stream
#

Fair enough
@shadow thistle I usually try and activate the first teleporter once I hit level 2. Basically my goal is to hit stage 3 in 10 minutes to get the Preon, then usually try and get to stage 4 by 14 minutes, and stage 5 by 24 (I will usually farm items on stage 5), and stage 6 I haven’t figured out yet, but I usually farm any chests I see and hit the TP. If I’m looping I want to loop by 30 minutes

red echo
#

this is good pacing ^

shadow thistle
#

holy.. this sounds insane

red echo
#

gotta go fast on monsoon, difficulty scales quick

shadow thistle
#

I want to beat the game once before going to Monsoon tbh

red echo
#

lower difficulties give you more time but don't let that build bad habits, get used to pacing yourself fast even on drizzle and it'll benefit you in the long run

#

good pacing is the key to keeping yourself stronger than the mobs you're fighting

shadow thistle
#

Huh.. got it, I’ll give it a shot

wispy ravine
#

Me: Gets fire&ice bands, 2 ukulele's, 4 sticky bombs, and a will o the wisp about to hit stage 5 and am on good pace
Elder Lemurian: That's a nice looking monsoon run you got there. Id be a shame if ended right now before you can even react to me

shadow thistle
#

Elder Lemurian: haha fireballs go pew pew

dull ingot
#

woohoo beat my first monsoon with engy

wispy ravine
#

nice

#

im still tryna get my first

#

is there a way to loop without going through the bulwark?

dull ingot
#

you can loop by using bazaar

#

in phase 5

wispy ravine
#

ah

mild wigeon
#

On the final teleporter, you can reallign the plates on the teleporter to aim towards the planet, that way you can loop

wispy ravine
#

how though?

dull ingot
#

OH really? i didn't know that

mild wigeon
#

Yeah trust me it got me too, just walk up to the plates of the teleporter and interact with it

wispy ravine
#

after beating it?

mild wigeon
#

They should all line up and the chat should say that it "alligns with the planet"

#

before beating it!

woeful needle
#

or after

mild wigeon
#

Can you after?

woeful needle
#

yeah

mild wigeon
#

Oh neat, thanks

#

I'd just do it before activating then, to make sure

dull ingot
#

You can also just go through the bazaar if you have the lunar coin to donate to the shrine

wispy ravine
#

.-. where do I need to look at it? the plates around it?

mild wigeon
#

Yeah

wispy ravine
#

huh

dull ingot
#

But if you go through the bazaar you can make use of glitch to get epics lol

mild wigeon
#

I thought first the teleporter worked like in the first game where you just click E or Q to teleport back or to the final level but nope

dull ingot
#

One green scrap for 1 epic

#

if you are going to loop for gear

#

just go through the bazaar and bring a green scrap with you

#

you can make use of the bug in the bazaar to get areally cheap epic

#

IF you have one scrap you can get an epic

smoky idol
#

that was a dope run to kill mithrix on monsoon for the first time

#

this update is amazing

woeful needle
#

I was wrong, wiki says the rings on primordial teleporter can only be rotated prior to the teleporter event

ionic raven
#

Is going in at a fast time the better Mithrix run, or go for a god run?

mild wigeon
#

I could do it as acrid on my first run on him with 1 loop on monsoon and if i can do that you can too

woeful needle
#

ive had more luck with going to mithrix first loop, but i havent beat him yet

mild wigeon
#

My brother told me huntress works wonders, so if you have trouble give her a go

#

I can imagine he'd be right with arrow rain and blink

woeful needle
#

ive been trying for 3 days with her lol

#

but also im bad

graceful steeple
#

Any fun builds with mul-t saw blade?

wispy ravine
#

remind me to read before picking up lunar items

woeful needle
#

he chillin

wispy ravine
#

that explains the magma worm like noise

smoky idol
#

@ionic raven ive done it both ways on monsoon, god run is better. You just 1shot him before he finishes robbing your items

sudden urchin
#

I just beat the final boss on monsoon with the glowing meteorite, fuel cells, shaped glass, and some friends

wispy ravine
#

and on this episode of "Where's the teleporter? Im over time alrea-- oh there it is"

past sand
wispy ravine
#

accidently picked up a shaped glass now knowing what it did, best mistake ever

#

IT WAS GOING SO WELL WHY DIDN THE FRUIT WORK

#

IVE BEEN SCAMMED

rare heart
#

Everyone should pick up every lunar once, just to know what it does... but yea, shaped glass can hurt if you aren't prepared to dance around damage.

past sand
#

Jokes on you, I play artificer, I'm obliged to do that weather I want to or not, regardless of if I have glass shards

hearty violet
#

Can bands make your atg hit harder? Like if you shoot a skill and it procs both bands and atg at the same time

past sand
#

Bands have a proc coeff of 0, so they can't proc ATG
But ATG has a proc coeff of 1, so it could proc bands

hearty violet
#

hmm can atg crit?

past sand
#

Yes

hearty violet
#

i get it

#

whatever the atg did the band would do 350% of that number

#

or w.e number the band does

dull ingot
#

Which Lunar item would help acrid out you think?

#

it's hard to tell, since every lunar is designed to be used in a specific situation

#

except gesture (kinda)

#

I mean Engineer benefits most from a lot of Lunar stuff

#

Esp the main attack replacement

drifting flicker
#

visions of heresy

past sand
#

heresy, so acrid becomes an actual ranged character and not some awkward half melee half ranged that has no reason to be in melee

dull ingot
#

acrid can benefit from visions of heresy if you're not playing him as melee

#

Visions of Heresy is soo good, it almos feels like it shouldn't be a lunar item

past sand
#

Engie w/heresy is hit or miss. It makes your personal attacks better but nerfs the turrets

dull ingot
#

Really?

#

It made my turrets more deadly

#

I beat monsoon with it as engy

rare heart
#

So.... interstellar desk plant is kinda good now.

#

Healing EVERYWHERE.

past sand
#

It puts a forced delay every X shots, which can really hurt the stationary turrets as they have decent on-hit and attack speed stacking synergy

dull ingot
#

Yes but they don't have the same cool down as engineer

#

Meaning they actually put down more damage than standard shot

#

Phase 1 King was melted in 30 seconds with it on monsoon

#

Phase 2 mobs destroyed in thirty seconds

#

The entire fight was less than 3 minutes

past sand
#

Source on turrets having less cooldown on it? I've not seen that listed anywhere

dull ingot
#

They do not stop firing

#

there is no cd

#

Also the wikia says as much

smoky idol
#

does artifact of glass boost rex's dot or is that fixed to enemy hp

past sand
#

wikia is outdated and trash so I don't take anything it says at face value

rare heart
#

...I think the game is listening in on my discord chats, because it just gave me a second plant.

#

Also, it might seem like they have less cooldown because they aren't bound by human reflexes and will fire off a new barrage of darts as soon as the cooldown is over.

#

They also have no concept of fire control and will use their entire barrage on a single wisp.

past sand
#

But just to be sure, I'm gonna go and test it myself

dull ingot
#

@smoky idol you mean acrid's?

smoky idol
#

yes

#

i meant acrid sorry

dull ingot
#

then no

smoky idol
#

i see. is the achievement for 50 enemies at 1hp just total in 1 run, or does it have to be in 1 attack

past sand
#

In the run
Killing 50 1hp enemies in one attack would be ridiculous

pine iris
#

"woolie"

radiant ingot
#

It's a lil more quiet in here

real osprey
#

Just died on a run because I had literally no on hit items lmao

radiant ingot
#

I'm new to the game. What's the general objective of the game, getting as far as possible or is there an eventual end boss?

real osprey
#

The only thing that made it a bad run, and there are both @radiant ingot

#

You can go endlessly or you can fight the final boss after stage 5

floral violet
#

or you can obliterate every 3rd stage after the first loop

real osprey
#

that too

radiant ingot
#

Meanwhile the difficulty keeps climbing and the items follow suit?

floral violet
#

the difficulty keeps climbing yes

#

and you still get items

#

forever in theory, or until the game crashes atleast

radiant ingot
#

;D

#

Played for about 4-5 hours so far, unlocked 3 characters

floral violet
#

keep going, the rabbit hole only gets deeper the more you play

radiant ingot
#

What's like the general strategy, getting to the teleporter asap and getting as many items as possible while doing so?

floral violet
#

there are a bunch of strategies

real osprey
#

be fast is the general strat

floral violet
#

a common one for monsoon though is to spend less than 5 minutes per stage early on yes

real osprey
#

but you also want items so you don't die

radiant ingot
#

I'm gonna hang out on drizzle for now

floral violet
#

it's a balancing act, do you farm for items or do you fight the stage boss and move on

radiant ingot
#

I'm glad I unlocked two more characters because I found the starting character incredibly boring ;/

floral violet
#

that is fine, Drizzle is great for learning the items, enemies and characters

#

some people love commando some hate him

past sand
radiant ingot
#

I just don't like having to hold M1 for days

#

It being all that you do

real osprey
#

well, i have something to tell you

#

a lot of characters hold m1

past sand
#

Go play Artificer, you'll miss pressing M1 pretty quickly

floral violet
#

lol you are gonna use a lot of mouse 1 but as difficulty goes up you'll use other stuff to

#

or love not pressing mouse one as much

real osprey
#

the most annoying use of m1 is double rebar mul-t lmao

radiant ingot
#

Yeah I know m1 is kinda imperative in games, but I played for half an hour and all I did was walk and hold m1

floral violet
#

oh god, why would you do that to yourself?

radiant ingot
#

Might as well have taped it down

floral violet
#

yeah that is just commando

real osprey
#

uhhhh I didn't, I macroed m1 and r to my left click lmao

floral violet
#

and huntress, and rex

real osprey
#

I'm not doin all that

radiant ingot
#

Engineer sounds fun

#

I love having deployable turrets in games

real osprey
#

I love engi

radiant ingot
#

Just gotta beat a few more stages first

past sand
#

Engi is so damn boring, you just drop turrets, run around for a couple minutes collecting items, drop turrets again for the boss and move onto the next stage

radiant ingot
#

Well my version of boring is holding m1 predominantly eli

real osprey
#

Engi's m1 is annoying to use at first because it's slow af, but gets better with syringes or visons (but visions replaces turret fire too WeirdChamp)

past sand
#

when you don't even have to be in the same city block as the enemies you're fighting, there's no danger, but there's also no gameplay

real osprey
#

until you get no healing items and then you have to do more work yourself

#

unless you use walking turrets, then it might not matter as much

past sand
#

Merc, Arti, Rex, Loader, Acrid, Captain, they all do more than just "M1 to win" gameplay without being AFK to win gameplay

radiant ingot
#

I'd have to unlock them first

real osprey
#

Rex is cool

radiant ingot
#

Only got huntress, mul-t, Mando and the assassin sword thingy guy

past sand
#

Little tip, don't spend your first 10 lunar coins, save them for getting arti unlocked
past that, go ham, lunar items are fun

radiant ingot
#

Do coins carry over?

past sand
#

yes

real osprey
#

Lunars do yeah

radiant ingot
#

Good to know thanks

past sand
#

you have a 0.5% chance to get a drop from any enemy, and that halves for each drop in that run resetting back to 0.5% on the next run

radiant ingot
#

I can already imagine the farm aspect there

real osprey
#

I didn't know that, I got 3 coins in my last run lol

past sand
#

If you want to farm them, you just obliterate yourself w/the lunar item that gives you the boss fight
spend 3 coins, make 15 back

real osprey
#

Unlocking the artifact of command makes farming a lot easier

past sand
#

indeed it does, I've been using it while I unlock each item, character and artifact but I'm looking forward to getting my ass handed to me by RNG when I'm done with the grind

real osprey
#

Yeah, I usually farm up about 30 then go into monsoons. I don't usually buy any lunars though unless it's Visions on a character with a bad m1 (Acrid, Artificer, Engi sometimes, kinda Mando)

#

I just take the newt portal for the trades

waxen current
#

With the archer girl
Her basic attack which one is better
The constant single arrows
Or the charged 3 shot burst

past sand
#

The default is better earlier on, but doesn't scale as well
The alternate is weaker earlier on, but with ~20% crit it becomes higher DPS and scales much better

waxen current
#

Hmm i thought so ty ty

small vapor
#

having some difficulties finding the 2 mountain shrines to unlock the royal capacitor, any tips on how to find an area with 2? or do I have to just get lucky?

dull ingot
#

just luck

past sand
#

easiest way is to speed through the first zone on a character that doesn't rely a ton on items in the early game, check for the shrines, if they don't spawn reset it and go again
but the less painful way is to just play the game, go for a silly broken OP deep run where you oneshot entire maps with one button press and you'll eventually find at least one zone

small vapor
#

ah, I've just been zooming through the first zone on loader and resetting, mainly looking for this so that I can try to get a good run going so I'll keep on trying I guess

woeful needle
#

got to phase 4 of the final boss for the first time after an hour long run and got one shot

#

im ready to cry

frosty surge
#

wanna go another run with me?

past sand
#

In the wise words of Steam discussion users, "just stack glass 4Head"

#

In all seriousness, it's a learning curve, now you know what to expect so you'll be better prepared for it

real osprey
#

Is the rumbling audio glitch, the magma worm rumbling in particular, known about?

#

I have to restart my game every time I fight a magma worm because the rumbling audio lingers

how does purity + 57 leaf interact? cancellation?

#

Man, Command really does make the game trivial now more than ever doesnt it

#

before I got to the second floor i was so overpowered I literally went thru stage 2, 3 4, 5 and Mithrix without moving except to the portals

#

On monsoon .-.

#

As a meme I got my Mul-t """mastery""" skin by literally not playing mul-t ._.

ocean stratus
#

how do I unlock the powersaw?

vivid crown
#

use a preon accumulator on a imp lord to cause lethal damage

#

you get the preon accumulator by going fast to floor 3 ice biome and opening the timed chest... or just do a prismatic that has it spawned to get there without any challange

granite wedge
#

so uhhhh are you supposed to get all your tonic afflictions when you swap off it?

#

cause i now have 151 and i cant move

vivid crown
#

yis

#

you dont get tonic affilctions when under the effects of the potion

summer estuary
#

Drugs have a price

little reef
#

ooof

midnight kraken
#

is there a way to get ROR2 to ignore my Xbox controller on PC? I really hate having to unplug it every time but the game picks it up and the mouse goes wonky until it's unplugged

little reef
#

had a mate get 71 once, he was a snail

granite wedge
#

i have a perma tonic and i changed to something else but i never was off the tonic

vivid crown
#

Forgive me please is legitiatly the move overpowered item in the game now

little reef
#

it was funny

granite wedge
vivid crown
#

when your under the effects of the tonic, the de-buffs dont work

little reef
#

i think the game still gives you the affliction stacks as you use tonic but it doesnt show because they never came into effect

vivid crown
#

if you were to drink it, ya'll get all your HP back

granite wedge
#

i know but its so close to me but i cant move

vivid crown
#

haha

little reef
#

once they come into effect you get all the stacks at once

granite wedge
#

i legit cannot move with 151 afflictions

#

but i was never off the tonic so where did they all come from

vivid crown
#

they still apply

little reef
#

like i said

#

the game still gives you them, they just dont show up because theyre never in affect

vivid crown
#

the debuffs still apply to your cahracter, your just never off the tonic for it to effect you

little reef
#

once theyre in effect all the stacks youve accumulated arrive in one go

#

so it seems like they came out of nowhere

vivid crown
#

Legit tho, Forgive me please is the most broken item in the game, period

#

its a literal pool of every resource. You can get any mastery skin with it with 0 skill in the game at all x3

granite wedge
#

well besides that i dont ever remember getting Afflictions when swapping off my tonic

vivid crown
#

again, you dont get the debuff

#

when your on the tonic

granite wedge
#

if you have a perma tonic and affliction is a chance thing upon the tonic going down then how

little reef
#

its not a chance upon tonic going down

#

its a chance upon activating tonic

vivid crown
#

^

little reef
#

but they only show up once the tonic goes down

granite wedge
#

thats possible the dumbest thing ive ever seen

#

ide like to know when i going to end my run or not

#

just my picking up a single item

little reef
#

so youve been slowly gathering stacks of affliction as youve been on permatonic but they never showed because tonic was always up. once tonic when down all 151 stacks appeared at once

granite wedge
#

but thats the thing they never showed till i swapped off tonic

#

so im kinda upset cause now i cant move angerysad

#

and ofc the tonic is just out of my reach

little reef
#

yeah, its a little silly tbf

#

it suprised my make when he suddently got 75 stacks and became a snail

#

mate*

#

im sure youre moving

#

just incredibly slowly

granite wedge
#

its taken me about 10 minutes to move 1 step

little reef
#

ooooof

#

that sucks man, planning on slowly walking to tonic to get it back?

vivid crown
#

what other plan is there

#

what sucks the most is they are playing captain

granite wedge
vivid crown
#

oh your really close to interaction range honestly

#

im amazed your not dead

granite wedge
#

i did portal already

little reef
#

im assuming youre sprinting?

granite wedge
#

yes

vivid crown
#

I'm more amazed you picked up Forgive me please w/o Soulbound

little reef
#

i would assume they were just testing it out

#

considering permatonic

granite wedge
#

i have 3 fuel cells and a 21 gestures

vivid crown
#

then again with 21 drowns your proibably fine

granite wedge
#

my plan was use forgive me to get my Infusion health procs

little reef
#

you only need 1 gesture and 3 fuelcells for permatonic

#

why the need for 21?

granite wedge
#

i know but i kept going there and wanted more

little reef
#

hahaha

#

its completely redundant though

vivid crown
#

memes?

little reef
#

true

vivid crown
#

and getting 151 afflictions?

little reef
#

the best reason

#

151 tasty afflictions

vivid crown
#

can we just have a small discussion about Forgive me please tho. it litterally the most game-breaking item they've releaced so far

wispy shore
#

Lol jus had the craziest obliteration run. Monsoon, no artifacts, 4 gestures, 2 fuel cells and glowing meteorite. It was a BLAST 😂

little reef
#

hahahaha

#

that sounds terrifying

vivid crown
#

it only does minimal damage doesnt it, however I imagine the constant chaos is pretty fun

little reef
#

ive not really used forgive me please, im more of a passive equipment type guy

wispy shore
#

Oh yeah, had a few scrapes

granite wedge
#

i cant tell if ive moved yet

little reef
#

i want the elite things to be more common

wispy shore
#

Shopping in the bizarre was basically a death sentence.😂

little reef

/good

wispy shore
#

True. I got ifrits distinction on stage 1 once

vivid crown
#

Want me to sell it to you Cease?

little reef
#

sure

vivid crown
#

how does a pool of Infinite health regen, damage, money, x2 Hp maximum, Luna coins, and status effects sound to you

#

oh also you get 3 of them

little reef
#

how'd you get that, doesnt it only proc on death effects?

vivid crown
#

yup

wispy shore
#

@vivid crown meteorite actually can one shot if you took any kind of damage from anything else. VERY likely in monsoon especially

vivid crown
#

Soulbound - Reduces equipment on kill. This lets you have infinite Forgives

#

Now we have infinite triggers

#

Gores Tome - Infinite money!
Cem Dag/Wil-o-wisp/Gaslosine - Infinite damage that procs effects!

wispy shore
#

I think closest scrape was when I got hit off the map by a rock on sky meadows and spawned with only half health, surrounded by elite parents, and glowing meteorite activated

vivid crown
#

Mosnter tooth, Fresh meat, Desk plant - Infinite HP!

#

Infusion, Topaz - x2 Hp!

#

Luna coins - Spawn from it rarly for some reason

little reef
#

oh wow

granite wedge
#

i dont think i have the will power to run this far

little reef
#

theres a lot more stuff that procs from on death then i tought

granite wedge
little reef
#

thought*

#

:((((

vivid crown
#

you can legitimately beat the game by only walking to the teleporter on floor 2

little reef
#

big sad

vivid crown
#

How do I know this? I just did it

#

I literally AFK'ed the mithrix fight. I just had a chat with some discord friends while ROR2 played on my other screen

little reef
#

haha

vivid crown
#

I think i only killed about 100 creatures

#

becuase I just triggered the portal event immediatly

#

becuase I dont need to kill enemies I have infinite money

little reef
#

still

vivid crown
#

"but smalllsplaaaaat, you need a red item, how do you get it on the first stage"

granite wedge
#

cri im just gonna restart lol

little reef
#

i just want the elite thingies to be more common and good, coz i dont like having equipment i have to manually use

granite wedge
#

i was just about to go obliterate aswell

little reef
#

awh, that sucks

vivid crown
#

If only there was another realm you could go to that has a guaranteed red item, like IDK, the void portal

little reef
#

haha

#

youre not wrong about it being completely broken

#

but hey, isnt that half the fun of roguelites, breaking them from their own mechanics

vivid crown
#

"but smallsplat, I suck at the game and the void area is difficult"
just take razor wire to kill everything while you suffocate and use your white items on a single Armour plate, some Mosnter tooth and topaz and you'll be fiiine

#

also say hi to newt on the way becuase hes adorable

little reef
#

i wonder if theyll ever add something for killing the newt

#

coz he's real hard to kill

vivid crown
#

never kill the newt

#

hes too precious

little reef
#

the closest ive gotten is about 1/3 of his hp gone

wispy shore
#

I think there should be a challenge reward for it

vivid crown
#

naw

little reef
#

or like a unique lunar item or sth

#

like halcyon seed

vivid crown
#

I'd honestly rather more interesting stuff or skill-based stuff

#

I'm getting a little fed-up of every challenge being made trivial with command ._.

little reef
#

i mean, im starting to play less with command

vivid crown
#

I got Captain Mastery skin vanilla, no artefacts, and it felt good. But then it sucked knowing that I could get the same reward by using command, doing 20 minuites of prep and literally going for a sandwich

#

I never play with it. its just not fun to me, at all

#

unless I'm doing all artifacts

little reef
#

i can find it fun when you go for stupid strats

vivid crown
#

I dont really enjoy the stupid strats, i've come up with some fun builds like "Loader the fire lord" and "Mul-t the paladin" but past that its just... bleeeh

little reef
#

i once went loader lazer beam

#

that was fun

vivid crown
#

I also got loader the fire lord in a legit game too without command and it was way more rewarding

little reef
#

MUL-T lazer beam*

vivid crown
#

Fire aspect + Gasoline 3d printer + Runals band

#

I am the embodyment of the fire gods

little reef
#

how do you even get the aspects

#

ive literally never gotten one

vivid crown
#

1% chance from dropping from the elite

little reef
#

and im sure ive killed well over 5000 elites playing the game

vivid crown
#

may even be 0.1%

little reef
#

its a 0.1%

vivid crown
#

I've got all of them , but i have no way to prove it to you

#

its weird that it doesnt track them

little reef
#

yeah

#

ive not seen a single one

vivid crown
#

but it does track the Perfect Pearl

an item i'd argue is rarer and harder to get

#

the aspects youc an get just, passivly

#

the amazing pearl you have to damn work for

little reef
#

well, considering ive never seen either an aspect or either peal in a total vanilla run

vivid crown
#

to get the pearl, you need to find a puriification pool

#

Cleansing pool*

little reef
#

and ive only seen regular pearls in a modded run and an iridecent one from a cheat

#

theyre all a pain in the ass to get

vivid crown
#

only spawns in 3 environments, Wetland Aspect, Scorched Acres and Siren's Call.

#

you need to sacrifice a luna item into it, at random to get 1 pearl

#

you have a 4% chance to get an Irradiant Pearl

#

its the only item I dont have

polar anvil
#

same

#

ping the pool to see what items it spits out

vivid crown
#

but yet they think the aspect equipments are too rare to put on it?

little reef
#

i usually run sacrifice, so those dont spawn

vivid crown
#

I legit have got all of them in the past. the ghost one is fun as fuck, I got it as Enji and could make my turrets invis

little reef
#

did they fix how invis works?

dull ingot
#

they spawn with sacrifice tho

little reef
#

coz previously even though they were invis, enemy AI never took that into account

radiant widget
#

The pools are like printers, and printers spawn with sacrifice. They're just annoyingly rare.

vivid crown
#

I've got the lightning one on Multi, which is broken as all fuck

little reef
#

ive literally never seen a pool with sacrifice on

vivid crown
#

you dont need artifacts

little reef
#

but ive seen some without it

radiant widget
#

I saw my first pool ever since they were added, literally today.

vivid crown
#

they are just a rare spawn

little reef
#

but i guess im just unlucky lol

vivid crown
#

i've seen multipul, I've just never had luna items. or , if I did, they were the only things keeping me alive because I don't cheat my luna coin amount

radiant widget
#

I am trying to do another pearl farming run but no luck finding a second pool. Ofc.

little reef
#

i have about 100 coins and ive never cheated them

vivid crown
#

I have about 77 right now?

#

but if you consider

little reef
#

yeah, yours are a bit more impressive

vivid crown
#

1 for the newt alter, and then 10 for the luna items (which can be total garbage and fuck you over) and thats assuming they are ALL passives

little reef
#

i run command sacrifice with my mate a fair bit

vivid crown
#

and thats for 5 rolls

#

Oh, multiplayer command I 100% am on board with

#

Multiplayer without command isnt that fun

little reef
#

i think it depends

vivid crown
#

oh, if you want a challange sure

little reef
#

without command it can be fun trying to min max items between people and stuff

vivid crown
#

I mostly play Mp ROR2 for a chill time as a background game to have on while chatting

#

Single player is my "hey im good at a game" mode

little reef
#

fair lol

vivid crown
#

which is again, why command rubs me the wrong way most of the time :(

#

on the bright side tho, only 4.3% of players have even beaten the game on monsoon difficulty

#

We can assume that around 59% never played it seriously due to "Defeat an Elite-type monster." is only completed by 31% of people. With 1.0 having 3 million copies, we can assume that 1 million people have played the game somewhat

little reef
#

ive almost 100% the game

vivid crown
#

The only one I now dont have is Artificer Mastery

#

because shes a hard character that dies easily

little reef
#

im missing commando mastery, huntress mastery, which i just cant be bothered to get, and that stupid merc slicing winds thing

vivid crown
#

but I could just, turn on command ._.

little reef
#

or multiplayer with an engi

vivid crown
#

like I did with mul-t

little reef
#

i have no clue how im ever gonna unlock alt r for merc considering i dont follow prismatic trials each week

vivid crown
#

I didnt actually want to do mul-t's with command, hence why i litterally AFKEd the final boss. part of me wanted to lose as an exuse to do it poperly xD

little reef
#

ahaha

#

whats your take on the red items in the game?

vivid crown
#

Merc's Ethereal challange is the only one that demands skill

#

What do you mean, like, individually?

#

I could make a teir list for you real quick if you want

dull ingot
#

honestly, most people with ethereal did it when prismatic trials has topaz brooche seeded in. Because barrier damage does not count as health damage

vivid crown
#

^ thats what I did. Topax was a purple chest next to spawn.

#

Even still you require some level of skill to not fuck that up

#

as you only get about 10 HP to work with

shy portal
#

I think I did that for the Huntress one, but played so scared I never actually got hit anyways

radiant widget
#

So, this is a weirdly specific question, but I feel like given how the new boss item works I have to ask

#

Will my own clay dunestrider ghosts damage me...

vivid crown
#

Yup

polar anvil
#

Yes.

radiant widget
#

Hm.

polar anvil
#

It's the best part of the mask

radiant widget
#

So that's how that run ended then

polar anvil
#

hahaha

radiant widget
#

I jumped on my dunestrider ghost and my bones dissolved and was awful confused for a bit. But I mean I'm more annoyed that after five stages in yet another run, no cleansing pool. AngryDrizzle

vivid crown
#

So I put the items in a teir list for you @little reef but its too long for me to post onto the discoooord :D

#

oh hey I can upload it as a file instead. I wonder what that'll look like

#

oh wow a formatted mess :D

little reef
#

ahaha

#

my view on the red items are that theyre a bit underwhelming overall

vivid crown
#

Not at all

#

Some are, for sure

#

Happiest mask is a run killer in most monsoon runs

thick sage
#

i've never had a happiest mask kill a run ever

little reef
#

i think my issue is that some of theyre effects are less impressive then they could be

vivid crown
#

Its more that, you didnt get a red item

past sand
#

I had 10 aegis a few runs back, was passively regenning faster than the decay, was mildly entertaining

vivid crown
#

You got a useless pile of crap

thick sage
#

a single red might not save anything

vivid crown
#

You need a lot of aegis for it to be worth it

#

Or lots of overhealing

past sand
#

I had a lot of everything, it was absurdly overkill in every fathomable way

vivid crown
#

I just realised nothing is stopping me putting the message into two smaller messages

past sand
#

300 shield generators, 300 infusions, ended up with something like 150k hp with 3 shaped glass

#

(combined HP including barrier)

little reef
#

i think my problem with many of the red items is that a lot of their effects are extremely passive

vivid crown
#

S tier. - "I basically win the game"
Ceremonial Dagger - Its cem dag.
Best on: ANYONE
Shattering Justice - Did someone say FREE DEATH MARK!?
Best on: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Soulbound Catalyst - Part of the game-breaking combo that is forgive me please. before that, Disposable rocket launcher. The best item in the game, without question.
Best on: Anyone who can press Q

A tier. - "Wow this is really good!"
57 Leaf Clover - With the changes to items, this is actually a bit less powerful than it used to be. However, MK1 launcher, bandolier and Ukulele benefit hugely with this.
Best on: Loader.
Dio's Best Friend - Free Respawn!
Best on: Your worst player (or engi for turret revives).
Resonance Disc - Changes really quickly. Interacts with Forgive-me for some dumb reason. Can shoot thru walls. Wont save you from anything, but will kill literally anything it wants in a 120 meter radius
Best on: Anyone
Unstable Tesla Coil - On hit effects for cahracters that struggle with on-hit? Sign me the fuck up!
Best on: merc/loader
.

#

B tier. - "I'm cool with this"
Alien Head - Its just a good item. Not much to say with this, shorter cooldowns with no drawback.
Best on: Artificer
Brainstalks - Fun, memey item that lets you do dumb shit. too unreliable to be an A tier tho
Best on: Merc
Brilliant Behemoth - Fun item that doesn't do much but add a flat 60% damage bonus. AOE needs to be bigger to become A tier
Best on: Anyone
H3AD-5T v2 - Meme item that can 1 shot every boss in the game in exchange for experimenting where the skybox is and putting yourself literally in the middle of the action. OP with crit.
Best on: Loader
Hardlight Afterburner - Highly specific item that everyone will fight over whos its best for.
Best on: Im not starting this fight
N'kuhana's Opinion - Requires abundant healing but is just an OK passive. Lowest on this list, but an B teir due to how overwhelming good it is on some builds.
Best on: Static Engi
Wake of Vultures - Did someone say FREE DEATH MARK!? oh wait my buff ran out nvm :(
Best on: Multi

C tier. - "Ehh, it has its uses"
Aegis - Its very hard to get HP regen high enough for this to out-power the natural over-barrier decay. Useful for when healing is overwhelmingly available.
Best on: Static Engi
Frost Relic - AOE still to small to be useful. Increases melee users damage tho?
Best on: Merc
Interstellar Desk Plant - Meme item that you can throw into Forgive me for AOE heals :D
Best on: Nobody
Rejuvenation Rack - Boooooring
Best on: anybody
Sentient Meat Hook -pulling enemies together is kinda quirky but they should just die.
Best on: Multi probably?

D tier. - "I'm considering restarting my run because this was my floor 4 drop"
Happiest Mask - Meme item. Has no use except to occasionally make stuff shoot at something else. Chance is too low to be useable, and at late game can re-spawn void reavers to double the instant-kill effect!
Best on: Nobody

#

that's my tier list :D

#

Subject to change as people explain to me why i'm wrong

past sand
#

Ah yes, soulbound catalyst, the core of what trivialised monsoon

little reef
#

justice is an on it, catylst is on death, dios is a respawn, alien head is just cdr, afterburner is more charges, rejuvenation rack is just double healing

#

and the ones that have cool effects usually arent the best

past sand
#

Stack wisps and use catalyst + forgive me pleases and you'll oneshot bosses

#

catalyst isn't needed, just helps to keep the effect up 100% of the time

thick sage
#

meat hook is really good, making monsters be all close together like the primordial cube is awesome for items like will o wisp, gasoline and bands

#

and it does damage by itself

vivid crown
#

I never found it reliable enough to be good

#

I think it suits the description of C tier i gave it

#

However its probably best on captain thinking about it

thick sage
#

nope, because it moving enemies to a point you want gives you a great control of the battle

#

also again, it's like a passive primordial cube

#

that does damage too, also it procs things

vivid crown
#

It doesnt trigger anywhere near reliablly for it do to that

past sand
#

Oh the hardlight afterburner debate is a simple one; loader.
No other character relies on their shift nearly as much for damage

vivid crown
#

I didnt want to get into it as theres so many arguments to be made for each character

thick sage
#

20% not realiable enough

vivid crown
#

You also need to consider its grab range

thick sage
#

commando, rex, mul-t, captain, huntress... all can use that item quite effectively

#

it's not a small range either

vivid crown
#

The question is "is the stuff in the grab range already dead" or even "is there anythin even in grab range" and then is the creature ungrabbable"

surreal heron
#

Is it just me or does loaders Thunder gauntlet feel a bit diff after 1.0? She doesnt bounce off of enemies anymore

vivid crown
#

Yeah i felt that

#

It kinda sucks but it ruined the enitre rick reward of her alt fist

surreal heron
#

I kinda miss it

vivid crown
#

Same

#

But in exchange for quick damage tou cant just slide out of danger

surreal heron
#

True

#

Also, stacking speed items with acrid is one of the funniest and fun things i like to do

#

That way the leap goes like across the map

slate aurora
#

I'm surprised someone was simping meat hook that hard

vivid crown
#

Honestly the only one i struggled to place definitively was Opinion

#

Its so mediocre in 80% of builds but so, overwhelmingly broken in the other 20%

surreal heron
#

Rex lookin pretty fun right now

vivid crown
#

Im also amazed im not fighting over shattering justices place

radiant widget
#

I know it gives damage but I always figured the draw of behemoth was making your on-hits proc in an AOE. The AOE might be smaller than optimal at one stack, but.

surreal heron
#

Also, Artificers alt skills make her one of the most fun to play for some reason

vivid crown
#

The list was made when considereding"if only getting 1 red item, what would i want"

radiant widget
#

Fair

#

I'm kind of surprised to see someone say good things about resonance disc tbh. I hardly ever see it mentioned outside of one really rancid guy I knew who thought it was trash.

vivid crown
#

Getting multiple red items doesnt happen often, unless your commandscumming or overconfident about how little you need your green ktems

#

I didn't get it until I started fucking with forgive me please

#

At which I actually took a moment to see how much work it actually does

#

Unlike other equipment, it does its own thing. Most of its attacks will be off screen, or look like they miss or went into a wall

surreal heron
#

What does forgive me please even do?

vivid crown
#

But it ignores terrain and looks for the biggest group of enemies that it can hit at once.

surreal heron
#

I havent had it

vivid crown
#

Triggers on-kill effects

#

Best equipment in the game, by a landslide

surreal heron
#

So your saying Free daggers

vivid crown
#

Its like, imagine a ferrari comapired to the red car kids push in preschool

surreal heron
#

So we are talking about an equipment that can set off Will o wisp, Daggers, Soulbound catalyste, Gasoline and ect?

vivid crown
#

how does a pool of Infinite health regen, damage, money, x2 Hp maximum, Luna coins, and status effects sound to you

radiant widget
#

Yes

#

It also procs infusion iirc

vivid crown
#

And ghors tomb

radiant widget
#

Literally any effect that comes from killing something, it triggers it

vivid crown
#

Not litterally all

surreal heron
#

THATS SO BROKEN

vivid crown
#

You know what else it triggers

#

Soulbound catalyst

surreal heron
#

Happiest mask?

vivid crown
#

Hahahaha

#

This guy

surreal heron
#

I said Catalyste earlier

vivid crown
#

You dont understand how op that combo is until you use it

radiant widget
#

Oh, I see. There are a few it doesn't proc. No mask, no wake of vultures, no frost relic, no brainstalks, no pauldron.

#

But anything else seems to be free game.

vivid crown
#

Anything that demands a speific subject

surreal heron
#

Aww no mask?

vivid crown
#

Of course not

surreal heron
#

Sadness

vivid crown
#

Mask worthless

#

Dont even give it room in your brain as a memory

#

8% chance. What a joke

thick sage
#

i love mask

radiant widget
#

I feel like it COULD do frost relic conceivably but I imagine it would just be placing the AOE at a location at that point which isn't that interesting.

vivid crown
#

It could, but it would be dumb

radiant widget
#

I don't feel like we're missing out on that

vivid crown
#

Then again, every other effect is dumb

#

Like topaz

#

And mosnter tooth

#

And interstellar desk plant

slate aurora
#

Just buy 10 clovers bro haha

vivid crown
#

And cem dag. Gasoline. Wisp

surreal heron
#

Topaz brooch has saved me on multiple occaisions

slate aurora
#

Mask gud

smoky idol
#

is there a point in which enemies sotp spawning still?

I'm in one of the trials and nothings spawning

thick sage
#

monster tooth is really neat

radiant widget
#

Can't wait to do a gesture FMP run like a shitheel at some point.

slate aurora
#

Topaz is god tier white

vivid crown
#

Topaz is one of the best white items in tbe game

surreal heron
#

As well as Soldier syringe

vivid crown
#

Ehh

#

Its good to be sure

surreal heron
#

Crit glasses?

vivid crown
#

Naah

#

Crit is overrated as fuck

radiant widget
#

I've already done gesture space drugs, gesture rockets, and I've attempted gesture elephant.

thick sage
#

double damage is a lot

#

more on procs

vivid crown
#

It is

surreal heron
#

I mean, crit can trigger other affects

thick sage
#

more now with shaterspleen

vivid crown
#

Doouble damage triggering other effects is what we really care about here

smoky idol
#

i love shaterspleen

vivid crown
#

Shatter spleen is the best boss item by a landslide

#

Legit got 1000 bleed procs with it oonce

surreal heron
#

Does FMP trigger shatterspeen?

vivid crown
#

No

#

What would it even trigger

surreal heron
#

Cause when they die to bleeding they explode

smoky idol
#

shaterspleen brings bleedsplosion love from path of exilew

vivid crown
#

FmP isnt bleeding tho

radiant widget
#

I like the new boss items, I just really wish mired urn wasn't actually approaching the level of multiplayer trolling of someone starting a gesture build and then grabbing glowing meteorite.

surreal heron
#

But its still a death effect from shatterspleen

radiant widget
#

Shatterspleen though 👌

vivid crown
#

Mired urn has one huge use

#

Death mark stack

thick sage
#

nah

#

healing is quite neat too

vivid crown
#

Applying tar as another debuff is huge as debuffs are hard to come by

surreal heron
#

MulT with the overloading buff tho theydancin

thick sage
#

in fact it gets ridiculous with the healing sometimes, even if you're not a melee character

vivid crown
#

Fire is inconsistant, bleed is alrighht but needs stacks, all praise shattering justice

thick sage
#

unless you have arti

vivid crown
#

All praise chronobauble, which has been made an a tier item solely off the fact death mark exists

thick sage
#

because it works for death mark doesn't make it good, in fact it makes me take more pity as its the only use it has

vivid crown
#

Oh yeah

#

But its guaranteed debuff

#

Guarenteed unique debuff

thick sage
#

also i never get deathmark

vivid crown
#

Its also an a tier item

thick sage
#

oh it's good

#

i never get it that's all

vivid crown
#

Only thing stopping it being s tier is just, its so hard to get 4 reliably until the late gate

#

Unless your playing acrid

#

(Visions of heresy Death mark build, its fucking gooooood, go nuts with it)

thick sage
#

never use lunars sadly either

vivid crown
#

Wha

thick sage
#

yeh

vivid crown
#

I can see why

#

With drowned giving them a bad rep of being OP its easy to ignore em

radiant widget
#

The only time I use lunar items is for gesture builds. But generally I don't run them past that. The current set of lunar items just aren't that enticing for my interests.

vivid crown
#

But, luna items are unique and aooke characters shine with speific luna items

#

Visions of Acrid
Grief on Captain
Purity on Merc is apprently good

thick sage
#

unique yes, but not in my interests

radiant widget
#

I'll be looking forward to how post-launch content updates affect the item pool though. 👀

#

I imagine it's only a matter of time before another lunar item comes along that really speaks to me.

vivid crown
#

Some luna items are just kinda garbage. I dont think any builds uses strides unironically

thick sage
#

some commandos take it

vivid crown
#

Transendace is pretty OK if you have stealth kit

thick sage
#

now that the devs only need the console launch, they'll be able to do more things freely, i think...

#

i don't know what working with a publisher works out to be

smoky idol
#

wooo found celestine item

vivid crown
#

Litterally no one uses corpsebloom

thick sage
#

objection!

#

some tank builds do

vivid crown
#

I've had people try to justify its use

#

But its just not worth anyone's time

radiant widget
#

Even if you want to use corpsebloom isn't it just universally horrible to stack literally at all

vivid crown
#

Yup

thick sage
#

oh never stack it

#

only one is enough

vivid crown
#

Stacking it makes it from bad to horrendus

radiant widget
#

Corpsebloom and Gesture are just the two extremes of lunar items and their design it feels like... lmao

vivid crown
#

Brittle crown is... ok?

#

I dont see many people take it since gohrs entered the field

radiant widget
#

I've never felt good running brittle crown so I just stopped acknowledging it.

thick sage
#

not really, a good ammount of people that i played with take brittle crown till this day

#

you literally become the sugar daddy of the party sometimes

#

on single player, well it's another story

vivid crown
#

Its not a popular item to be sure

#

I massivly underlooked visions thio

thick sage
#

but not extremely rare like corpsebloom tanks

dull ingot
#

Visions of Heretics is quite good

#

As is the tonic,

vivid crown
#

Put it on acrid for a great time

#

Put it on captain for shift memes

dull ingot
#

Nah, his shotty is too good to replace

vivid crown
#

did somone say 12x stack orbital bombardment!?

radiant widget
#

Space drugs...

dull ingot
#

Space Drugs Tonic is bad ass

vivid crown
#

Orbital bombardment memes with visions has to be tried at least once

#

His shotgun good, yes

#

But opening the heavens to orbtial rain is also good

radiant widget
#

I like space drugs a lot, but if I ran it literally all the time I'd just get bored of it. And it's the only lunar build I like to run that doesn't exclusively hinge on gesture.

vivid crown
#

I dont really touch tonic

#

I care too much about my OHK protection to consider the downsides a viable option

dull ingot
#

Teleporter goes to all map or just this one?

vivid crown
#

What does that question even mean

dull ingot
#

A code for the portal my guy

vivid crown
#

I am aware, but your question doesnt make any sense

dull ingot
#

Yes it does

#

Is this map the only destination for the portal or are there 'runes' scattered on every map?

vivid crown
#

"Teleporter goes to all map or just this one" while looking at a teleporter code on roost

#

The relic portal just restarts the loop again

#

These tablets are on every level

dull ingot
#

Gotcha

vivid crown
#

Or you can do what 95% of us did and just use the wiki for the codes

thick sage
#

it was very fun finding out most of them

vivid crown
#

Ye

thick sage
#

only two i couldn't find

#

so i went to the wiki

#

and i felt so dumb

vivid crown
#

I agree, but also i wanted relics not running around maps

thick sage
#

it's not that time consuming

vivid crown
#

I wish relics at least had a score modifier or something tho

#

My general distaste to command being allowed for mastery skins will never yield x3

dull ingot
#

I don't like using wikia to discover things

#

makes the game far less enjoyable

vivid crown
#

I abuse the wiki to discover things as I find it more enjoyable x3

dull ingot
#

Like figuring out what lunar items do what

#

Tonic is quite good, and the downside is actually not that bad in my two hours of using it

vivid crown
#

I like being good at video games, and I like having all the information incased I missed something vital

#

But i also have prefrences, so the meta isnt the law but a guideline

#

Tonics potential removal of OHK protection makes it unpickable in my book

dull ingot
#

Oof, Implying I'm not good. Using a Wikia does not make you 'good' at this game.

vivid crown
#

When did I ever say that

dull ingot
#

Some of the people streaming this game use Lunar items all the time

#

it was implied my guy

thick sage
#

never implied it

vivid crown
#

No, it was my excuse to why I wiki everything

#

I like being good at games now, not after 10 hours of finding out something i could have just googled x3

#

I'm no where near the best, i'd probably gibe Cabbage that title as hes fucking nuts

#

But theres some interactions you just dont discover naturally

#

Like how blast shower resets rune cooldowns

#

How visions of heresy lets capain use his orbital bombardment 12 times

#

Or even that you can scrap captains default red item for free red scrap becuase he gets it back at the start of every level

#

Also why did you talk about people streaming the game with luna items all the time

#

What does that have to do with me enjoying using the wiki?

pine iris
#

Tonic's still great

vivid crown
#

It is

pine iris
#

even with no fuel cells, an instant 50% heal and a buff to all stats?

vivid crown
#

Its a good item that combos well with either infinite use or just, luck if you have 57 leaf clover

#

Its not my preference to be sure, theres tons of fun equipment to use in its place i like more

#

I actually quite like new grief

pine iris
#

tonic's good for me if I want to strategize

#

and new grief is great yeah

vivid crown
#

Idk, I'd say infinite tonic is one of the more passive equipments

pine iris
#

I don't run infinite tonic though

vivid crown
#

The new drum is pretty good, leech is ok? Fmp is broken beyond repair

#

Disposable rocket launcher is still pretty busted (pun 100% intended) royal capacitor is pretty well off

#

Jade elephant is a bit of a meme tho :(

versed epoch
#

Mithrix stole my Dio

#

And I fucking died

#

Though this was my captain run after I beat him with loader

#

Also thanks @floral violet

#

For the tips

oak crest
#

anyone knows if happiest mask works on mithrix

versed epoch
#

Maybe

#

I got a magma worm

vivid crown
#

Mithrix never dies

#

I imagine with cheats you can find out?

wicked fiber
#

I hate that half of Captains kit just, up and disappears on void fields. Makes him practically useless there and gilded coast as well.

broken ginkgo
#

Matrix “deaths” are probably most weird ones, he can drop logbook in any his phase, but every time you “kill” him, logbook wouldn’t count that as a kill

#

Wack

#

So you will have logbook with 0 kill counts frogmando

jaunty sand
#

what are best items for merc ;O

wicked fiber
#

Hopoo feathers lul

broken ginkgo
#

Focus_Crystal Backup_Magazine Bandolier Helfire 🪒wire

#

And any item that is good overall frogmando

uncut hatch
#

crystals are godly on merc since all your damage is melee anyway
and monster teeth is a pretty reliable heal item for him too

wispy shore
#

@uncut hatch lol
I stack up 20 crystals and 10 crowbars on loader usually. I AM ONE PUNCH WOMAN

jaunty sand
#

is crowbar good on merc? :O

uncut hatch
#

crystals are just a really good item in general that is amplified further by melee classes

jaunty sand
#

friend also wants me to ask what captain's best items are

#

we're trying to min/max a bit so we can beat mithrix

uncut hatch
#

captain needs to stack drones and attack speed

#

bands are also nice to have for your utility

jaunty sand
#

stacking drones as in buying a shit ton of drones or using his weird little attack drones?

uncut hatch
#

buy as many drones as possible
dont be afraid to splurge on a TC-prototype even

#

turrets are also nice to have but less important

jaunty sand

ok:D thanx!

#

is AP good for merc ata ll?

craggy kraken
#

@wicked fiber so about captain's stuff disappearing on void fields, I'm curious whether that's a thing that's gonna get addressed tbh, because while I understand it from a LORE reason or whatever it just feels REALLY bad

#

just straight up feels shitty to be the only character who gets half his kit taken away for certain stages, and while they aren't ESSENTIAL or anything

#

it's just flat out less fun

wicked condor
#

kinda wish captain had a weaker R he could use if beacons are already called/unavailable

#

dunno how that would affect balance tho

dull ingot
#

wait, CPT loses his kit in the void?

craggy kraken
#

yeah in certain of the hidden realm stages

dull ingot
#

what is the 'lore' reason for him losing his kit? and where do I read that?

craggy kraken
#

the idea is that like, they are not like 'accessible to the outside world' and thus his ship cannot call things down in those areas

#

I don't know that it 'says' that anywhere

#

but it's obvious that's what they were going for

dull ingot
#

Ohh, I see what you mean

#

Yea I noticed he didn't have his call ins inside the bazaar

craggy kraken
#

yeah I think it's uh

#

gilded coast, bulwark's ambry, and uhhhhhh void fields?

hushed gate
#

Can you do mercinary:Ethereal with shaped glass?

craggy kraken
#

it's not like, INCREDIBLY annoying or anything?

wicked condor
#

think it's locked in the celestial portals too but unsure

craggy kraken
#

just kinda disappointing

wicked condor
#

@hushed gate I want to say yes since you could get it with artifact of glass on, but idk if that changed in 1.0 with the curse stuff

craggy kraken
#

and any time when you take kit away from one character but not others just feels bad like "oh I picked the character where if we go to these stages I just get to not use any of my cool other abilities I guess"

hushed gate
#

Hrm. Ok. Well thanks for answering

dull ingot
#

yeah

#

@craggy kraken

winged coyote
#

is there a consensus how everyone is feeling about mul-t's skill build is right now?

wicked condor
#

haven't tried the new rebar yet but scrap launcher is actually solid now

jaunty sand
#

am i the only one who thinks merc is a bit underpowered atm

crisp jewel
#

Can I use Blight for Acrids Pandemic?

wicked condor
#

no, has to be poison specifically

true edge
#

just found a cool synergy: Forget-Me-Not, Gesture of the Drowned, Soulbound Catalyst and Will-o-wisp

#

Anyone in favour of commando needing a buff? Thumbsupcommando

dull ingot
#

Yea Commando needs a passive

#

like all the other survivors, or a new ability

ruby marsh
dull ingot
#

Problem with commando is that he is an all rounder

#

which means he is good at nothing particularly

true edge
#

you aren't supposed to always win

dull ingot
#

Yes, rng is a bitch

#

We all know

#

You can go faster with Captain Hacking though than you can with commando, and have better damage output to start off with

#

Commando needs a serious buff

true edge
#

its like pinball, you have the illusion of control but you will always drain the ball

dull ingot
#

The only buff hes getting is a 90% to 100% on his main fire, and they'll call it a day

ashen sapphire
#

Commando is kinda hard to survive in early run imo

#

he just need many proc items

dull ingot
#

Or just make him a tank to make it easier as a beginner character

#

Ehh, Captain can't make use of his abilities in the void areas

ashen sapphire
#

yeah hidden stages

dull ingot
#

I got to the void every run

#

garunteed epics

#

why wouldn't you?

#

I dont because I value my time

#

Going to the void for the challenge, is basically meta. Value your time? Time is halted and the void challenge only takes 7 minutes tops

#

Jk, I dont because its tedious and boring

pale shuttle
#

Guys of game discussion two if you want to watch rage babies yell at each other about osp look at game discussion one

dull ingot
#

I actually really enjoy the void for the RNG of the mobs, and the music there is absolutley phenomnal.

#

Pog

#

That's part of the Fun Yes

pale shuttle
#

Rean I agree but I have lot too many runs to them getting tesla

dull ingot
#

Suit yourself, i really enjoy the void. I have been screwed by it ocassionaly, but most of the time i've gottent exactly the epics I wanted

#

Music composistion there is phenomnal

#

You can not deny that

#

If I'm in a sensory deprivation water tank, yes

#

Man, these guys be salty about the void today.

#

I'm always salty, alongside vinegar

ashen sapphire
#

unstable tesla coil on void field C_

#

🏃

dull ingot
#

I'm my 80 playthroughs of Void I've never seen a Unstable Tesla yet. If you get screwed by the RNG just leave through the portal.

I've def had some nightmares with teddys and Revive Epic

ashen sapphire
#

teddys and armor

dull ingot
#

Teddys Armor and Revive is also pretty bad. ESP since the end of the vents the mobs stay there

#

It's a 100% chance of getting an epic, as opposed to the .002 percent chance in normal chests

#

the 20% chance in large chests

burnt lynx
#

I had jellies get goat hooves, focus crystals, and tesla coils by the end once

#

I don't even remember anything else about that void fields run, I hated every minute of that one.

dull ingot
#

There's only three instances of to get a confirmed epic, the bird boss fight, lava caves golden chest, and the void as far as I know.

burnt lynx
#

Well, and dumping your green crap in the Bazaar

dull ingot
#

Actually You can get an Epic with one green scrap

#

Currently a bug

#

But with one green scrap you can get an epic. That's how I beat a playthrough recently, Bazaar had Epic Teddy

burnt lynx
#

How exactly does one get scrap?

dull ingot
#

Had five lives on final boss fight in monsoon

ashen sapphire
#

and soup island 🏝️

dull ingot
#

@burnt lynx you have to find scrap terminals in the maps

#

@burnt lynx they look like industrial blenders in the ground

burnt lynx
#

Ah, okay. I've been running Command since 1.0 because a lot of new friends are getting into the game and want speedy unlocks for stuff

dull ingot
#

Okay, ik going to the void is almost always beneficial, but I just dont wanna

#

I'm a lazy person

ashen sapphire
#

irl time consuming stage

dull ingot
#

You don't have too, if you want an epic though you need too. Depends on how important the epic is to your build

burnt lynx
#

You can still

dull ingot
#

But most of the people who complete monsoon usually get the epic from the Void. BeCUZ the get 8 Items + epic relatively risk free if the rolls are good

#

Wisps are hitscan I'm pretty sure now

ashen sapphire
#

get Quail

severe lodge
#

mithrix is not ok in monsoon

dull ingot
#

Go very very very fast

ashen sapphire
#

just dash right in time

burnt lynx
#

Isn't there a slight delay between when they stop aiming and when they fire?

ashen sapphire
#

yeah

dull ingot
#

Yea if you have 5 stacks of goat and the jump birdie...

#

Yep

#

Is there a bug with Quail and ramps?

#

Everytime I use it on a ramp, I go flying high in the air

#

People in game discussion 1 going apeshit because opinions exist

#

Pog

ashen sapphire
#

quail is my one of favorite item for me

#

nyoom

#

is anyone thought about RoR2 but there's only RoR 1 stuffs?

thorny anvil
#

ah, ROR2 but with everyone's favorite item

#

dead man's foot

ashen sapphire
#

yeah my English skill isn't good

#

not my first language sorry

#

i mean RoR 1's stages/monsters/characters/items on 3D

dull ingot
#

can you purchase beads of fealty or are they only drops?

ashen sapphire
#

you can purchase in lunar shop

#

also it can drop in lunar pod of course

burnt lynx
#

Is it possible for a normal teleporter to spawn on Sky Meadow, even as a bug?

ember dragon
#

Don't think so

#

But you can interact with the stone panels on it to make it send you to Stage 6 instead of the moon if you want to keep the run going

burnt lynx
#

I've got a guy who SWEARS that he had a reg teleporter spawn on stage 5 so he couldn't loop

#

And I'm like... No. You goofed, own your mistake.

pastel coral
burnt lynx
#

Has anyone else gotten a bug where they can't move anymore at the beginning of a new stage?

#

Or use items or attack at all

dull ingot
#

no I've not had that

burnt lynx
#

I've seen it happen twice, in multiplayer only

dull ingot
#

might be internet problem? Maybe??

steady maple
#

What are the options when selecting artifacts? There is an unselected, a diamond, and an X. What's the difference in unselected and X? and Why is there a "1" next to the artifact when it is selected or has the X?

burnt lynx
#

When in multiplayer, players can vote on rules (difficulty and artifacts)

#

So a 1 is a "yes" and an X is a "no"

steady maple
#

thank you

lyric surge
#

this game is very good

#

but after playing for a while my fingers get tired

dull ingot
#

yes.

#

get a wrist pad on ur keyboard

#

it helps probably

#

oh true

#

good idea

#

i usually am not a big fan of double character runs but my mind is changed

#

if you can properly allocate loot it's kinda crazy

hearty violet
hot root
#

whats an overloading worm

quartz saffron
opal plaza
#

That just reminded me, even if you're being carried, do your best to make sure if he dies, you can still live

#

You never know when like 3 imps decide they had enough and just instant kill him

weary geyser
#

whats an overloading worm
@hot root like a magma worm, but lightning instead of fire

hot root
#

@hot root like a magma worm, but lightning instead of fire
@weary geyser like the blue one?

#

is it rare?

quartz saffron
#

they usually appear late into runs

#

unless you take time on stages

opal plaza
#

I still dont fully understand what their hit boxes are, sometimes I never get hit, others I get melted, I think it's their impact alone?

#

Not counting overloads Lightning strikes

jaunty sand
#

what's the generally accepted best items for huntress? i'm a huntress main and i usually go for wax quail + backup mag most importantly, energy drink, hopoo feather, ukulele, crowbar

opal plaza
#

If I'm correct glasses are a good item if you're using the second primary fire

dull ingot
#

i hate huntress without glasses and harvester

jaunty sand
#

yeah glasses, predatory instincts, and harvester are also really good but i'll usually skip out on them if i don't already have glasses

opal plaza
#

Maybe some AtG's for more single damage since Huntress already has good aoe damage

jaunty sand
#

is crit build the best way to max her damage? cause that's the only thing i've seen fall off for her lategame (compared to other characters)

#

oo

opal plaza
#

I got no clue, I'm extremely casual when it comes to item choice

#

Just keep grabbing items and figure out what works for me is what I usually do

jaunty sand
#

gotcha

opal plaza
#

What do you struggle most with?

jaunty sand
#

just damage really, but stuff like stickies and crowbar helps with that a lot

#

i'll give AtG a try more often, usually don't pick it much if given a choice

opal plaza
#

So single damage, got it

#

If you kill small enemies fast enough then I'd suggest some on kill items

#

Like the green items that makes you go berserk, cant remember its name through

jaunty sand
#

gasoline is pretty good

#

berserker's pauldron or whatever?

opal plaza
#

I think

#

Maybe have some will of wisps too

shut jungle
#

Bands seem good now after the change if you can proc them

jaunty sand
#

proc?

opal plaza
#

Activate them

shut jungle
#

Bands have a min damage threshold rather than chance to make them happen

jaunty sand
#

ahh

#

OHH yeah alright

#

yeah i usually pick up bands cause by the time a band comes around stickies and on-hit stuff (ballista as well) do enough damage to activate them i spose

opal plaza
#

I swear it's hard trying to find the ror2 songs I'm looking for

#

The names are so weird

shut jungle
#

You can use the deathmark if you can get 4 statuses

jaunty sand
#

what's best for huntress defense/healing? i usually just run as many topaz brooches as i can find, is shit like personal shield good?

opal plaza
#

Maybe life leeching beans

jaunty sand
#

ooo this is true

opal plaza
#

Also I got no clue about the personal shield

#

Most people say it's bad becuase it messes up one shot protection but I dislike abusing it so I got no clue normally

jaunty sand
#

not entirely sure what one shot production entails but if it gives more health i will yoink

opal plaza
#

Effectively you cant be one shot is what it does

#

If you're above 90% health and a single hit would kill you then you dont die

weary geyser
#

Basically, no single attack (or burst of attacks if they all happen within 0.1 seconds) can do more damage than 90% of your maximum health plus your maximum shields (plus your current barrier, so barrier is basically ignored for OSP).

#

So if you have enough shields that they're at least 10% of your total HP, and they're down, you can be one-shot despite being at full health.

Similar thing happened to be but with a elder lizard

robust condor
#

i died twice to fall damage with dios tho

opal plaza

Just scary when stuff spawns ontop of you

robust condor
#

when you have 1 hp anything can do whatever they want

opal plaza
#

Wait, you can die to fall damage?

robust condor
#

apparently with 1 hp including topaz barrier

opal plaza
#

I know on eclipse it fan but nothing else

robust condor
#

28 shaped glass got a bit wacky

opal plaza
#

28??

#

What in the world where you doing?

robust condor
#

well look at my highest damage dealt in one hit in my post-game stats

#

125 quadrillion

#

wasnt my longest run by 200 minutes but it was my strongest

opal plaza
#

How much of a times even is that??

robust condor
#

2800%, idk

opal plaza

You either hacked a ton of lunar coins, spawned them in or just are the richest person in the world
