I mean, It deals with hordes of enemies, and can do a ton of damage to bosses, but you need to land it right, and because of the way it works it can't hit AWUs, Jelly Queens, Imp Overlords, etc.
The upside is the ton of damage, on a low CD.
yeah i wouldn't take them unless you're also taking phase blast
but generally, you would be
The default R is does like 10% a lowly more damage than your autos so it does hardly any more damage. The stun is nice, but a few stun nades do that for you.
sounds like youre coming to the frag side
does anyone know if attack speed affects swap speed for MUL-T??
ikr, feels underwelming for something on a long cooldown
I mean its not that I don't like the frag,
its just that I hate the default not being that great, and the nades being unreliable.
Cant hit flying enemies when I need it to
the nade always goes where you put it and explodes when it explodes haha
that makes it unreliable.
i just cannot get this arti color. i try stacking crowbar and ap i just get so unlucky
beat boss
Do you have jump unlocked?>
yeah
Are you using it?
ive been using flamethrower
Jump>Flamethrower for boss
woundn't oblierate be easier cause there isnt anything to fight there?
how is obliterate easier
wait, so if you have beads and fight scavenger, but died in the middle, does that count?
i haven't actually done mithrix with arti yet but id think to take ion surge
flamethrower too risky there no
You are only getting a few stages further, and you don't have to fight a very powerful boss
obliterate way easier man
mitheix is just bad to fight with close range lmao
mithrix is a beast
and cap apperently
Hes fun to fight with Loader and Merc
so what should i take for an obliterate run?
Fireball, the Nuke, and the Jump
when i have attackspeed loader, i died in around 2 shot in the spinny ground thing
How cheese are you looking to go @plush flower ?
all the way
Ok
idc how i do it
preon fuel cell?
No
zap fuel cell?
Yup
If you have Gesture get one of them, and about 4 fuel cells and a Royal Capacitor.
is preon cast time too long?
true
personally enjoyed stacking that build with strides + glass
wait, so if you have beads and fight scavenger, but died in the middle, does that count?
@dire herald it doesn't
damn
@plush flower another cheese is to take Blast shower with some fuel cells, back up mags, and Syringes.
dont underestimate the twisted scav, leave the beads alone if you really want to unlock it lol
Syringe increases your Nuke charge speed,
the nano bomb?
so i need crowbar, syringe, backup, bands?
boss bullet?
now this is for obliterate run?
No for boss
If you want to obliterate, just get wax quails, bands, and on hit items
Crowbars are honestly c-teir items and shouldn't be sought after. Having a few is nice but buy APR Syringes or Goggles over them every time
whats like the best red item for arti?
I mean, depends on the rest of your build
dio is always nice to have
eh, il figure somehing out. thx for all the tips
Like if you got all your on hits and are just lacking in damage, a clover is the way to go, but if you doing great damage, a Ceremonial, Brain Stalks or Alien head are insanely powerful
may as well do void fields too
^
Void fields like stage 2
null void?
when you say void fields do you mean null void?
fucking hell, i had a great run and then went to void as cap, that run is only great because i found a printer for hardlight burner
kinda not joking tho
https://riskofrain2.gamepedia.com/Void_Fields @plush flower
The Void Fields are a Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. It is a necessary location for the challenge ...To Be Left Alone, which unlocks the character Acrid.
The Void Fields can only be accessed via the Null Portal located in the hidden cave in the s...
when you say void fields do you mean null void?
@plush flower it is through the null portal yeah
yeah ok
fucking hell, i had a great run and then went to void as cap, that run is only great because i found a printer for hardlight burner
@dire herald yea void fields late can be a terror
Going into Stage 3 sub 10 minuets with a 9 free items is pretty great
Never go in late
one guaranteed red as well
Going in early makes sure that if you get tanky enemies like Minishrooms and parents they can still easily die
i remembeer the last time i went, died on level 8 but had dio, then the enemy got the teslar coil on level 9
noooo we do not speak of that
Yeah you can get hella unlucky
i didnt even know elder mumerian goes there lmao
anytime you say "i hope they dont get tesla coil", they will its a rule
ha
which is why you go in early, so that if you get the clay templars to spawn with Tougher times, Medkits, A2G, Ukes, and a Clover you didn't waste a bunch of time
yikes
Had that happen once with a friend. we both instantly died.
i mean, them with uke isnt that bad right?
uke still bonus damage
uke is no problem but tesla coil is usually a death sentence
like, oh, run
run to the portal now
i hate enemy that does homing attack that you cant dodge
What enemy?
teslar ones
Syringe jellyfish does nothing
Syringe Jellyfish makes it detonate faster
is there a way to get a custom enemy in ror2?
is there any reason to take more than 10 lens makers?
if 4 captains stack healing beacons do you technically get 80% max hp healing zone? 🤔
ughhh i tried to create one of those text edit thingies that change the name of everything in the game and now it's all like [CHARACTER_SELECT] etc
that didnt happen last time i did this
after about 5 hours of failed runs it was nice to have one survivor succeed https://www.twitch.tv/videos/715759390?t=4h0m6s
three legendaries in a void field run, pretty happy
it's going to be sad when you can't burst down the beginning of phase 4
Guys uhh
Does anyone know if there is already a release date for the new update for consoles?
lol
What
I just asked a question
I would normally look for the answer in announcements but I couldn't find it this time
@foggy saddle oct-nov
Oh
Thanks
its not specifically stated, but its the best guess we got
thanks for all the tips @rich crescent i finally completed a run
LETS GOOOO
Wow
Good job
Arti is my love. Shes so good, but everyone trashes on her cause she doesnt move fast
she has crazy damage tho
Thats all shes about is dishing out big damage numbers
Artificer is nice i must say
But im not really used to Playing as her
Shes definitely a mood.
Im too used to playing as mercenary
I was trying to get his mastery for so much time
Im happy he got buffed
I've played about 98 hours at this point, and at least 70 of them is loader
Arti is my personal favorite. Being able to freeze final boss is a major boon.
Loader is nice but for me she gets kinda boring after playing as her for too much time
she gets kinda boring after playing as him ☝️
The change to mercs alt R makes it feel like playing a different character and I love it
hmmm
she gets kinda boring after playing as him☝️
@chrome hedge yes i know i'm dumb
The change in the way to express skill as Merc with the slicing winds feels fantastic.
I need to play more as rex
Love Rex too.
rex is hard late game cause i keep geting one shot though
DPS king, the only downside is getting 4 back up mags and killing yourself
Yeah rex is fine and fun
But i never really play him the intended way
I cant figure out how to get alt M2
Yo does anyone have any good purity builds for Acrid/Artificer, I'm having trouble figuring out what to prioritize
Syringe
I usually stack like 3 or 4 and then just go for on kill affects
Get some back up mags too for Arti
lots of Attack speed boosts plus back up mags on Artificer allows you use her M2 like a primary
it just does 2000% damage
for Purity builds, try to get 100% crit and bleed chance. It doesn't take that many items to do.
Also consider Visions of Heresy on Acrid, since Purity works with that too
Ngl I would take Vision on Arti too with purity
VoH on acrid is super solid for the final fight. DoT from m2 and another ranged attack on m1
I never really liked Vision honestly but it is nice
Visions + Purity = gatling gun https://www.twitch.tv/videos/714861460?t=0h35m36s
Oh lordy, those non-existant cool downs
I refuse to play arti without the new lunar item
you mean Mercurial Raichis, obv
what does the "The earth rumbles" message mean
beetles
oh maybe its not guaranteed then for tp boss
yeah im seeing alot of golems
[WARNING] The ground begins to shift beneath you..
yeah then its golems only
holy shit theres so many golems
oh my god my aurelionite just spawned ontop of a dunestrider
that was the best thing i've ever seen
I am now heavily questioning what's going on in game discussion 1
didnt see anything weird, wdym?
All I see when I accidentally click on it is "Where can I find the spiciest lore?" Then in reply someone sends a link to an erotic fanfiction
Like a mintue or 2 ago
i want to see a ror2 erotic fanfic
try looking now
nice
of course its about huntress
Thiccc
It would either be that or Artificer
"Wait no! Don't do it!" - commando, apperently
Since i think they are the only girls?
loaders also a grill
loader too
Ah alright
i only learned that recently tho
I mean, to be fair nothing is feminine about the design
well also ror1 loader was a dude
Then again the design itself is rather, basic
well she is wearing an exosuit of sorts
that too tho
so hard to tell much, and "loader" can be any gender unlike "huntress"
apperently its a alien ref
it is
i always thought loader is actually a robot
I still need to check the log books of the survivors
na mult is tho
meh, doesnt matter as long as its a kickass character
im wondering why the captians skin is so damn bright
rex lore be like 
I like the skin to be honest
rex is the most adorable character
Its bright and a sorta ice white
yeah its nice i just didnt expect it to be so bright
acrid's motivation is wack form the first game
Also I've never gone from hating how a character feels to loving them so fast before
For the first time earlier today I decided to try and play Mul-T
alt acrid is a coom goblin tho
thats the best part
mul-t got that gratatatatata
i had a hella good run when i unlocked mult but the guy just feels so damn slow to move
although its actually really fast back then
i nevered used mult utility, maybe i should try it a gain
tbh i dont get why everyone says captians so op
cause onhits
yeah thats true i guess
he aint that op but his m1 is very strong for onhits
i just had like a 2 hour game and i kinda just flew around spamming m1
i like his m2 too, idk why people flame it
you are almost guaranteed at least 1 proc from every item if u hit all pellets
i never really used anything else
taser no work on boss
well most god runs are just click on enemy and they die
it also goes away if you hit enemy
well yeah its for stopping some elder lemurian or similar from bothering you for a bit
@harsh garden nah if u play loader or merc its look at enemy and go F A S T
i wish they gave him alternates for his other abilities instead of just his supply thing
my last loader god run was just spamming shift as fast as i could
had multiple purities, afterburners and alien heads
when i unlocked lightning punch on loader that was when i was like
this character is amazing
in the final level i got to the shuttle before its door opened lmao
thats... wack
i love moderation services and things to do with moderation services!
i got a moderation sandwich the other day it was great
oh no my services
the fuck??
well hes banned now so
that poor bot was just trying to probably scam people
who the fuck falls for that lmao
small brains
meh someone will
i got so many of those messages when i played tf2
so many phisher accounts trying to steal my strange revolvers
for some reason steam scammers now comment on your profile so you add some different guy
i guess its to avoid some kinda filter
nice, free friends
i wonder how many bot friends i would have if i kept them all
i add them just to see what they say so i can warn people about sites that scam
had a list somewhere but its buried
like in the ground
i too, do blacklist time capsules
yeah i wrote them on a paper and buried em 6 feet under
years later your gonna dig it up and be like hey i remember that website
Sandra that played geometry dash for 2 minutes sent me that
i wonder if anyone falls for those hot girl profiles
Hot Huntress In Your Stage
F
I was not aware that he would actually use the items he yoinks so I made the mistake of picking up a genesis loop along the way
oops lmao
I panicked hard as soon as I saw the explosion start
yeah, the boss is strong if u pick up razorwire, tesla or genesis loop
or little buddy
Is there any pattern to teleporter spawning? I'm kinda dumb and im loosing a lot of time finding it
not really any pattern, no. What it constant is it will be a certain minimum distance away from you, so search the other half of the map
yay, got Chunked
preon and lens printer in the 1st stage, 2 crowbars in time for second boss 
Fear the green splooge
Is there any pattern to teleporter spawning? I'm kinda dumb and im loosing a lot of time finding it
Teleporters always spawn on the other side of the map from you
Ah this chat died like 20 minutes ago-
huh, i always assumed it was just as random as everything else
Oh someone else is actually wake this late-
Yeah it always spawns at least on the opposite side
straya
There are places the teleporter tends to spawn however
May not be in the same spot but in the general place
However there is always the chance of a completely random teleporter that goes places it never should be-
Or at least is clearly random
Still dont know why people suggest looking for the practical effects, easier just to look for the big red slap it sits on
You could just keep pinging around to potentially ping the teleporter also
Respect the Frag Grenade: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/715759390?t=0h39m27s
Oh god my eyes
The background of the loading screen is white and I just blinded myself
Wait-
I just got flashbanged-
o.o
I respect the flash grenade now do to it
all ability cheevos and a log, very nice
anything special about arti's alternate abilities?
ice spear used to be way better than nano bomb but now it's kinda up to you
flamethrower does better dps but ion surge helps sometimes, although vertical movement is worse than horizontal
I thought only engineer turrets inherited items?
Defensive Microbots is a special exception. All drones Captain buys get one,too.
yeah, the boss is strong if u pick up razorwire, tesla or genesis loop
nah just stay the fuck away from him and you're good
cries in merc
laughs in slicing winds
boss doesn't use razorwire
also doesn't use mired urn or crowbar in the test branch
roll on commando is better because it can be done in the air
So can slide? And you get a vertical jump out of it too, which is great for early game
slide is better because it gives you more ground mobility+doesn't interrupt your shooting
slide is cooler
but tbh, there isn't any "better" options
nah like you cant do it in the air, so in an intense situation its harder to aviod attacks
roll only interrupts for like a second
Uhhh
yeah wassup
Chief, the side strafe jump doesn't interrupt anything, you keep shooting. And it's incredibly fast and far with the normal amount of goat hooves
slide is cooler
sorry but this is just facts
@plucky terrace Counterpoint - alt commando dash acts as a free double jump
roll loses
no no like the roll only interrupts for a second so you really dont need to be shoooting, besides the roll (pardon the pun) of it is survivalbility and in an intense situation i feel like the roll is much better as a dodge than accidently using the tiny jump
But it's not a tiny jump. When you hold to the side or back in the air with that ability, you strafe really far
just dont jump br¤ther
It's not a tiny jump
Like the alt commando dash gives you a far slide and extra double jump basically
Roll is nice but ur breaking my balls here
jumping = surviving in RoR
Eh, movement but same idea
honestly i know why i think roll is better
i used slide once and gave up on it haha
i just like backflippin and shit
You can like, alter the slide turn, rollerblade that shit
It's just an all around good upgrade imo
Basically speeding around at the speed of sound
yeah everyone says its better i just cant see why
its definetly me i know that haha
I meant, you might be the odd-man out, that was banter
i just like backflippin and shit
@plucky terrace a very fair point
Slide + Shotgun on Commando with some focus crystals is like mmm mm lip lickin good
You know whats even more sick as hell
what
When you play loader and do da loop de loop on your drone
I feel like loader's movement skills has a really high skill ceiling
and slingshot into bosses at mach 10
Because I practiced a bit for it and you can get some hella far slingshots even on Stage 1
shes honestly so fun tho
which shift do you use?
the one near the wasd keys
yeah same the quick charge is too good
can press with pinky rly easily
what`s the best loadout on artificer?
technically tho if ur optimising damage, base punch is stronger for proc chains
Loader is broken with alt-shift dash attack + crowbar/focus crystal, because the base hit does something like 3000% damage and cones for 1000% damage, and then it has a downtime of like 3 seconds
scorched acres amirite
default imo but the flamethrower and zap jump is interchangable
fuck that stage
and the fact that the person you hit then gets knocked back into tghe cone
its hard hitting
Also if you get bandolier on loader
shiiiii
It's literally lmao mode because it's like shock drones everywhere
its so fun grappling around, sky medows :0
Alright, daily beetle check, post your beetle death counts
If you've been killed by a beetle you gotta leave the discord, those are the rules
My only other two no-death monsters are:
Which honestly is very all around strange, I feel like I've died to a magma worm before
i let beetles kill me on purpose all the time...
how many hours you got bobby?
101
Git gud
Just like, dont die, best advice I can give you
Dying ruins the entire run
My most deaths is from Stone Golems so don't feel bad Doc
You ever turn the corner and see 8 blazing stone golems pre-firing on you?
I'll never forget that memory
I was vaporized from existence
im pretty sure i have a bunch of deaths from beetles from leaving games by dying to join friends
Excuses
most deaths for me is vagrant
I don't die to bugs, no worms no beetles
You all are cowards in my eyes, dying to an insect
In other news, you know what a fun gamemode is?
most is lesser wisps for me
Artifact of Swarm + Artifact of Sacrifice
Really really fun
Smorgsaborg of what the fuck could go wrong
lol too true
whats everyones most played survivor
mine goes 128 merc then 112 MULT
Not at pc but captain>commando. Just unlocked the rest of characters yesterday lol
How does Vision of heresy break him?
he can shoot 12 orbital strikes with his utility instead of 3
and even more if you get more visions
wait what are visions?
replaces your auto attack with those 12 balls
it's a lunar item
but apparently its bugged to make you shoot 12 of ur third skill as ur auto attack
only on cap
there was a similar bug with huntress balista last patch
but they fixed it
you my chick fil a @white bane
I'm not really too excited about the visions bug on cap, I like his m1
seems a bit imba if you ask me haha
with insane amount of attack speed, that m1 becomes something else
the original cap m1 procs stuff a lot faster
shatterspleen and some crit glasses just feels incredible
[10:26] Tomtomtom246: he can shoot 12 orbital strikes with his utility instead of 3
LOL
That is incredible
And yeah, the Cap's M1 has excellent gunfeel.
It’s getting fixed tho lol
same as ballista
Still waiting on the full Heretic Set.
missing an M2 and a special
Just like the Captain! ; )
I like the beacons
I jest, hacking is really good to speed up the first loop and the healing thingie is handy in the portal.
They could use some fun tweaks tho
But his M2 has to be the worst skill in the game.
It is
tied with super jump from warframe
yeah at first I thought hacking sucks. I kinda like it now
Hacking is AWESOME
legendary chest? free. Shrine of chance? free so you get both items no matter the fails
Garunteed items from chance shrine and free Legendary chest
It’s like a minute?
Yeah, about a minute or so.
yeah it kinda feels that way
you can just clear the rest of the map while you wait for the legendary to open
you can put it down asap and then come back to it later its not like items despawn
shock beacon should be replaced by a flag effect that boosts MS and AS
or make the shock deal damage
like the banner of command
i guess yeah why not for damage
drop two shocks on a boss, the drop deals damage and then the shocks take it the rest of the way
could be good early
but I still like hacks and heals more
having the shock chain from enemy to enemy would be cool
actually here's the fix : make it a bigger AOE and give it self damage to avoid players just standing in the zone and being invincible
btw
if you have Halcyon seed and Mired Urn
your aurelionite aggros on you, but can't hurt you
yes
i find it hilarious
can u pick the halcyon seed with the command artifact
nope

oh wait
i just missread that message like 3 times...
you can still get it from the boss btw
hey guys i'm new here. can someone tell me is there a way for MUL-T's scrap launcher to reload faster?
if you use double scrap you can use retool to skip the cd
so items can't solve it?
itemwise i think alienhead and purity work
oh ok thank you
@dark helm a quick note on osp
i do agree with you
but thinking about it i do think OSP is the better way
the only way to prevent monsters from doing that much damage would be to make them do percent health damage which feels odd since it'd be doing different amount to different players and makes infusions worthless
cause you have people who will stack infusions and people who don't have infusions at all and by balancing for one and not the other you will either have monsters that can one shot players, monsters that deal no damage to people who stack infusions or monsters that deal different amounts of damage to players with different amounts of hp
hm, true. then maybe I should pivot my stance to about osp, and some tweaks it could have. The tweaks 1.0 gave were a good step in the right direction, but as some people advocate for, I think it could get just a few more tweaks
yeah, currently there are still way too many times i feel like i got one shotted
though most seem to be targeting getting two hits that do 50% of your health and kill you versus two hits that do 100% of you health not
and if we extend it to that there needs to be some sort of arbitrary limit either way otherwise late game when there are enough monsters hitting you to drop you from 100 to 0 in 0.1 sec you just won't die even if they are all only doing 1% of your health
i'm honestly not sure how I would fix OSP because of this
some part of me thinks the best fix for the above mentioned issue is reverting back to OSPing one instance of damage but then we're going backwards
does dissonance artifact force Crabs to spawn before the loop in other environment?
it allows them to spawn
nice, thanks
Does Dissonance allow for Scavengers and Void Reavers to show up before a loop?
there is probably a very small chance
actually i think a saw someone who had a stage 1 scav
i wish i saved that screenshot
this is a guess based on how many beetles you get vs harder enemies with both disonance and kin on
but I think that any enemy can spawn however the director still only has the same number of credits to spawn things with
so if in the first level the director has 100 points to spend on enemy spawn
it can spawn 100 things that cost 1 point each or 1 thing that costs 100 points, or anything inbetween
extending this to without kin, i'm assuming that it can spawn a combination of things that add up to 100
again thats all just guesses from my observations so i might be completely wrong
i would also assume that the more something costs to spawn the less likely it is to spawn as it looks at all the things it can spawn, chooses one, and spawn it if it has the points
based on this the more points it gathers up, the bigger things that it can spawn but the more chances it had to spawn everything that costs less
an example
it has 1 point - things it can spawn are only 1 point things
it has 2 points - it can spawn 2 or 1 point things
3 points - 3,2 or 1 point things
etc
you can see how 1 point things had three chances to spawn
2 points had 2
3 points had 1
and at any point if it had spawned a a 1 or 2 point thing, it would go back down the ladder, making it impossible to spawn the 3 point thing until it had built up that many more points again
so to spawn the hundred point thing it not only has to pick not to spawn or things it couldn't spawn 99+ times, it would also have to choose the 100 point thing out of the x number of other options it had
that seems about right. I was trying to spawn a Crab to do the fossil challenge with kin, dissonance, command, swarm and in the first stage i was only getting Alloy Vulture, Beetle, Bighorn Bison, Lesser Wisp, Imp, Jelly and once in a while Mini Mushrum and Stone Golem
Have they fixed multiplayer lobbies yet?
Btw - am I cheating if I always play with command artifact on?
e.g. to rush things like fungus on engineer
Or backup mags on acrid
Yes but is it considered nooby/crutchy?
No it’s for fun
kinda? depends who you ask. do what you want tbh
But if that’s the only way you can play then yes
just have fun playing the game man
ultimate flex on the final boss:
kill yourself before he even gets a chance to do anything
wow i just got shut down
how
beetles op
question, i've heard multiple people say rex can destroy alloy warship, is there a gimmick with that or is he just generally good for the fight?
well uh, his alternate second attack can be fired off almost constantly, and his special can lock the thing in place (as well as every probe it spawns, immediately as it spawns)
also is worship not warship, don't think it's big enough to be a warship? but that's just semantics - prolly pushing too hard for accuracy
other'n that, dunno what others think of him being good on it but he definitely seems to have high points against it
oh it is alloy worship huh. ive been calling it warship the whole time im dumb as hell
geheheh, yeah is worship
sounds basically the same so
.. erm??
like, pull it into out of bounds or something and instakill or???
i just wasnt sure if there was some gimmick with it, like using his shift to push out of bounds
by luring him near and putting the r on the other side of the pillar
oh weird
kind of like merc can launch him into the ground
huh, so basically an exploit, cool
hey, uhm... is purity ever really worth using?
I kind of always end up playing around proc chains, so it's hard to imagine it being worth the negative Luck
Yes
i think its good on artificer. any character that isn't relying to heavily around proc stuff
Characters like artificer and loader I’ve heard decent reports on since they use high damage and are less reliable for the proc chains
using purity on loader is amazing.
was flying with thunder gauntlet
You always have a 0.5 sec CD
Purity CAN work on most characters if you have a low proc build
I want to try it on Merc or Huntress for a near permanent invulnerability run. I’m concerned that they’ll lose too much damage though and end up being invincible wet noodle...
hmmm.... merc/huntress run where you stack purity and shaped glass
It can def work with a bleed build on them since you can get to 100% bleed still
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmvFpI_tZCs @lunar reef is this intentional?
So basically in Eclipse 4+ enemies have +40% movespeed. When mithrix hits the ramp while running he gets launched in the air and takes fall damage LMAOOO

Lol wow
????????????????? fuck u mean i died by the planet
i wasnt in a rock area
was it a shocking ball thing
i think it was a shocking elites attack
and then i killed it
hol
I finally got the pearls for my item logs. Now I just need to farm boss logs.
You know the falled friends mod, taking over a turret etc, do you only get one drone life or can you change what you're controling?
1 shot protection dont matter against a blazing elder lemurian on stage 5
Don’t go near elder lemurians, they will fuck your shit up
i just got the captain and ive always played commando, how does the .7 proc coefficient affect how many of certain items i should get?
mithrix boss bar won't show up for me :c
What items should I look for while playing mercenary?
Merc is pretty versatile pretty much just meme build
Does the difficulty bar (that goes up with time) just affect what enemies appear or also their HP/dmg?
HP/damage scales with difficulty yea
Also, is there any way to deal with the boss who shoots tons of suicide wisps at you as acrid? They home in, fly quickly, and poison doesn't kill them in time
(Forgot the boss name but his other attack is a meat hook shotgun)
Without running away out of range of the boss that is, since those wisps hound you forever until killed(?)
so
genesis loop went off
and everything died, including me
can someone explain wtf just happened
Killed by planet generally means the game can't find what killed you. This happens if you die to a DoT after the enemy is dead (like when you kill it with Loop).
The bombs or pots on certain levels also do this.
np
I need a stronger CPU, my PC can't handle having over 300 celestial wisps in-game at once.
I am sad that the artifact code in the credits doesn't have any easter eggs
whats it do
nothing, that's the thing
You can get Lunar Coins from Forgive Me Please what
yes
that is a pretty big think
So, how does the merc changes feel to everyone? Haven’t messed with them personally.
I think they sound neat.
I don’t play merc a ton so I’m not really sure.
Merc's Exposed passive makes things easier in the early game, you can take down most non-bosses without going into Eviscerate.
Does it make slicing winds actually compete with eviscerate?
Hmm, only slicing winds' last hit triggers Exposed, it's still inferior to Eviscerate for raw damage.
Slicing Winds is like a no-risk version of Eviscerate, tbh. it's capped at 8 hits per cast, and does slightly less damage per-hit.
I will admit though, i'd prefer it to Eviscerate if the only thing i'm fighting is Mushrooms. they have a habit of aiming for where your character's "hitbox" is, so when you exit Eviscerate, you end up standing in a pile of Mushroom floor lava.
seed barrage vs directive drill, which is one is better for what? i havent played much with drill since it seemed kinda underwhelming, but id love to be proven wrong
Drill is uh... not the best. It's meant for hitting slow targets that will actually stay in the small damage radius. Imagine it like Huntress' Arrow Rain, except smol. and you can stack it with the backup mag.
Yea.
On Rex specifically, would you like to know a really fun build for him?
It’s not awful, as it does do more damage on paper.
But unless you dislike trading HP, I would suggest the normal one.
Honestly I like barrage way more because you can rapid fire it so bosses literally just explode. with that being said as the game goes on and I get like 6 backup mags I start wishing I had drill because I simply can no longer fire fast enough to make use of my mags
Because it is possible to play Rex as a pseudo-tanky character since he can heal.
Honestly, with the new update, that isn’t really an issue anymore.
You can scrap the backups now.
listen: best meme build for REX:
get Seed Barrage, get as many Razorwires and Backup Mags as you can. and spam Seed Barrage.
oh boy
In general, seed barrage is the best, but drill interacts with items like bandolier, alien head, Back-up mag, etc.
True I haven't played rex in the update... got very sick of him after doing his monsoon challenge
lol
Both of the skills do interact with bandolier and alien head, but you can exploit his self-damage skills with several Razorwires. ||and then you can get ukuleles||
One interacts much more so than the other is my point.
i'm not sure I follow, they both take advantage of all those items.
Let’s take bandolier
For example.
What has more value, resetting a less than 1 second cooldown.
Or a cool down that is like 7 times longer?
ahh. now I get it. the benefits are more noticeable.
yeah, alien head has exponential scaling. having more than four is kinda pointless.
but on cooldowns, consider: Purity
To be 100% honest...
I don’t even know what purity does. Mithrix has been super rude to every single run I get to him.
I’m assuming it makes all cooldowns basically 0 but prevents you from gaining more items or something?
reduces cooldowns by 2 sec flat, all random effects are rolled one more time for an unlucky outcome
equal stacks of purity and clover counteract each other
So it’s reverse clover?
and whichever you have more of rolls
Yep
there's a lower cap of about 0.5 seconds on cooldowns but it's still nice to have on some survivors
Cool.
Luck is an actual stat, so it's just +1 or -1 depending if you get a clover/purity
It's a very broken Lunar, but balanced because the luck stat penalty affects so many things.
Does it affect teddies, unlike clover?
Nope
Luck doesn't affect bears
Or rather, the bears are unaffected by the luck stat
Ah ok.
Yeah, if it did, teddies would be broken. you'd be unkillable with only like 10 teddies.
Wait. There has to be a lower % limit though...
for the teddies or?
Is there a 1% minimum for each luck dependent thing?
luck is literally a stat
Like ATG is 10%.
all it does is re-roll
True I totally forgot lmao.
and it re-rolls per digit of luck
I always forget that it just rerolls.
it's an exponential scale, you can't get to true zero or 100%
Multiclover and fixed chance items are silly though. like with the ATG
so with one point of luck, it isn't changing the atg to 20%, it's just rolling the 10% twice, and if one of rolls would trigger it, it goes off
yup
math doesn't work like that.
think it's closer to 19%ish
there you go.
if you have five clovers then a 10% chance event is technically a 40% chance event.
Yknow, for a game with Rain in the title, there isn't much rain happening
You are the Rain.
You erode away the world, a relentless force of destruction.
You are a Monsoon, Heaven's Hell-sent gift.
Also there’s rain.
there is occasionally thunder on the wet levels.
So uh
wow
I knew Command was broken but I didn't think it was THIS broken
Everything just dies
Behold: Min-maxing.
Yeah uh that is way too accurate
Consider: Rex, with 50 stacks of Razorwire.
M2 -> Everything around me dies
Like at this point my biggest concern is what white item should I be stacking now
I already have all the overpowered stuff
Oh yeah and uh
be sure to end your run before the game decides to start throwing hundreds of Celestials at you, they're harmless after a certain point, but they make your CPU cry
Forgive Me Please is completely broken
I just press Q three times and everything is dead
yup. I avoid it because it takes the challenge out of the game.
Command takes the Challenge out of the game
I just did this so I could get the thing for going 20 levels as Commando and now I think I'm violating the Geneva Convention
second aspect I've found this week without any clovers. Also monsoon cap run is going pretty nicely otherwise too
It also removes 3d printers and Lunar Purifiers.
I got the Ice aspect once and that was it
I'm only getting the Ice aspect for some ungodly reason. ._.
omg, it triggers every time? so 8 lighning bombs every hit for 50% total damage each, that's real nice for cap. That's like another behemoth
yep. and it's separate from Sticky Bomb
well, it was fun for a while, but did end up killing me
turning 50% of my hp into shield is not great and even bigger issue was dropping supermassive leech for that
needed that healing
Barrier builds work great for shield stacking.
Ohh, I see.
Random question. I read on the wiki that teleporter bosses have a 3% log drop instead of 1%. I know AWU doesnt count as one. But does Mithrix? Or are they both 1%
not sure about the %, but mithrix at least gives you multiple chances to get the log as it can drop after every phase
So swarm gives 6 opportunities then?
probably
Im going to have to do more clover stacking runs to try and square these away
I think my max stack was like 13 but I never got awu from it.
yeah surprisingly hard to get those logs to drop
Tbh this is giving me ptsd though since to this day providence monster log is my only barrier to 100% ror1
I got awu and mithrix without clovers, but did some clover stacking for the chimera wisp and parent logs
I just need to drown some whorls
Feels like a lot of people didnt bother with that lmao
if you have 50% health and 50% barrier, does a strong enough attack b ring you to 10% health due to osp, or does it kill you because you didn't have 90% of your health bar?
and that playtime is off, I played on another account as well
oops wrong section
pretty sure you need your health back up in that situation
barrier doesn't give the osp back I believe
was hoping barrier would still affect osp, but not basically give it to you twice if you had full health and barriers (as i believe it once did)
Im going to have to do clover math again when im at my computer...
Shifting from Acrid primary to Hungering Gaze with Brain Stalks feels really good
Like taking a breath after holding it for a long time
Like new pants on new year's eve
Exist for too long probably.
I just wanted to go to the Void Fields
Not saying that as a joke.
The game sometimes has a seizure due to just how many enemies it spawns at later stages.
I was in the Newt place
And I tried to go to Void Fields so I could get its log and it just
Died
I can pause the game but now I'm just at the pause sceen and I cant move the mouse or do anything
PC
Go ask #ror2-bug-reports-pc
They should help a ton more, and ghor normally helps there too.
I mean I was breaking the game with command is that why
What didnt I have
Did you have a large stack of anything in particular?
I cant check my items but it was a lot
I had 10 of a lot of white items and 5 of most greens
idk.
Various reds
Could have been some sort of weird interaction.
I would still ask #ror2-bug-reports-pc
And I just picked up Gesture of the Drowned with Forgive Me Please
And a lot of on kill effects
Could be your issue lmao.
But yea, I think forgive me please was your issue.
It's still a bit wonky with gesture.
I made forgive me really strong with that run
I had every on kill I think
So probably
Also apparently in the one run I had the doll I used it 507 times
nice
i find captain not having his shift and r in hidden realms an odd choice considering its already been established runs are anachronistic in nature
yeah exactly
Is this the best run ever?
it's for lore reasons but show me one person who would go "half of my kit doesn't get gimped in this secret area, damn this game's lore sucks 😔"
I hope they patch that when they release it on console.
two bands and rack is nice
Don't even know what the bands do
my character is REX
@steady tangle have you unlocked the one item from the swamp area?
Hey everyone! New to the discord, but been playing since early beta. Just started to get serious and I gotta say I'm loving Rex like you won't believe.
rex go brrr
is it normal to get a horde of many overloading elder lemurians on stage 2
because that is what just happened to. me
are you playing on dissonance
no artifacts
because that shouldn't happen otherwise
My first main was MulT but man Rex has taken over me the past couple of weeks
just captain on monsoon
wack
rex is a fun plant
Very fun plant.
I need a little keychain Rex
Oh, funny thing about Frag Grenade... if you have Brilliant Behemoth, each bounce of the grenade also explodes from Behemoth, doing 60% of its full damage. Even though the grenade bounces do no damage normally.
@steady tangle the red horn thingies at the bottom of the map.
is it possible to just stay at the Sacrifice stage if you're on a normal run and farm items infinitely?
Yes
it feels like cheating tho
Interesting thought.
the red horn things? @dull ingot
yes i have those
not this run
be me
decide to do a lunar only run for shits and giggles
get bazaar stage 1
4 focused convergences and a brittle crown
@steady tangle ye
Stage 5 is a bear
How are you doing on time
Monsoon is really unforgiving on scaling
i try not to spend longer than 5 min per stage
like
the sheer amount of brass contraptions, elite wisps and elder lemus in the teleporter event
simply impossible to keep up
Yeah it's often better to rush the first few stages and get ahead of the curve so you can milk stage 4/5
Also I don't know how far into the game you are but having the majority of items or abilities unlocked will make a huge difference
ive been experimenting with the final boss and have 2 questions: 1. would commando's phase rounds be more effective against him since it doesnt have any range falloff and 2. can the last phase energy balls take you out when standing on the ramp?
Phase round 🤔
@safe vapor took your advice, worked great
Glad to hear it
i finished stage 3 with around 11 minutes, and it made life much easier actually
also it helped that i was playing cap and got an afterburner
I bet
lol
If you're behind on scaling stage 5 is when you'll know for certain
and yeah the only item i dont have is squid polyp but fuck that shit way too much work for such a meh item
ive been experimenting with the final boss and have 2 questions: 1. would commando's phase rounds be more effective against him since it doesnt have any range falloff and 2. can the last phase energy balls take you out when standing on the ramp?
@errant yew are you considering phase round for phase 4 mainly?
Because I found I could hit him reliably with M1 far enough away that he didn't do orbs that much and his needles could be avoided w a slide
@errant yew i'd recommend using the ramps, it blocks the energy balls. you can also trap him under the ramp and gimp him easily
wait you can use strategy on the end boss? i just try and get a lot of fuel cells and the lightning thingy and nuke him
idk how to do his last phase
@errant yew i haven't tried phase rounds yet but in theory it does have an advantage for this encounter
Outside of a command run you'd have to be very lucky to end up w enough fuels cells for that
If you mean nuking him during item steal they are making him invincible during that in the next patch
sorry i didnt reply sooner. my friend did the teleporter instead of the portal. my only reason im thinking of taking phase rounds is since i often feel that my shotguns pellets dont hit him even when im trying the fight out the legit way
the range of phase round might help the fight out a bit
I feel like the entirety of Commencement could be shrunk by 30-50% and the map would be better
I get that it's supposed to be atmospheric n stuff
but it's just sorta boring?
wasn't focusing when i was taking this picture, ended up with an enormous cactus up my arse
Mythrix is also... he doesn't really fit, and isn't very fun to fight in my opinion.
doesn't help that some stuff straight up doesn't work in Commencement, like drones.
for whatever reason they often get stuck in Commencement
these aren't wondering vagrants
Disagree on mithrix but yeah the map feels a bit like a slog after awhile
there's also not really a reason to fight anything here
Mythrix... I don't like Mythrix because they feel like a Furi boss. They don't fit in Risk of Rain
Mythrix also has exactly one dangerous attack, and is almost completely invalidated by flight
that's it's only downside imho
varies greatly in how they perform against various survivors
If you aren't cheesing, Engineer gets wrecked real bad by Mythrix
Artificer just sort of annihilates them because Flight
the range of phase round might help the fight out a bit
@errant yew the further away you can be the better so you might be right
the boss needs a mechanic added that punishes mistakes in the air too
Also Mythrix doesn't have proper 'tells' for a lot of their attacks
even though I only consider the rotating pillars to be dangerous
So is the key to mithrix just like, keeping your distance
not exactly
because one attack is not dodgable if you are too far
the key to Mythrix is hovering over his head indefinitely
that's boring though
yes
Also about to say that, his attacks aren’t very telegraphed so I don’t really know when to hop in for damage and when to stay away
Unlike Providence, Mythrix's attacks aren't really... fair, exactly.
He's a lot of fun for certain classes maybe
for all characters
Engineer feels really bad to play against him
I've only done it w huntress, merc and commando all of which have a good evasive but don't fly and I haven't done any of this ramp business
he's an absolute joy to fight
Idk, I’m fighting him and everything’s ok and suddenly oh he zoomed in and slapped me to death
^
yeah, who are you playing?
Engineer feels really bad because Mythrix smashes turrets really easily
I’m playing cap, but I’ve also tried Mul T
and Engineer's damage is just kinda mediocre without turrets
mul-t is one of the strongest against mithrix
Yeah I can’t imagine fighting him with engi.
Mul T - strong against mithrix, weak against commencement
He is either too strong for you or too weak, and that pretty much comes down to whether you can fly or not. Or if you have mobility and damage.
ehh, never had an issue with either as mul-t
The parkour was tough since the little guy has no innate vertical mobility
engineer can beat Mithrix fairly well as long as you use those walky turrets and a fair few energy drinks
It would be cool if Mythrix' had multiple simultaneous attack patterns similar to Providence, and actually telegraphed where they're hitting
instead of being 'oh you're close get slapped'
Oh and yeah, cap has no mobility skills so I had to keep sprinting facing away from him to use wax quail
Cap is definitely a challenge
His last phase screws engi. Loses out on all his damage and turrets can proc mithrix on hits like atg.
I imagine it’s a bit tougher to do a provi style fight in 3D
but that's enjoyable, so no issue there
Yeah cap is so good but in that encounter I can see it really being tough
uhh, it's possible
Def want some hopoo and quails and hooves
I think the main issue with Mythrix is not every character has the same type of 'dodge', unlike RoR1
where everything can be dodged by jumping
I had a hardlight after burner aka 3 chargers of orbital strike, could barely hit him with the things because he’s so so skittish
I don't think it's an issue honestly, the real issue is how some characters can just cheese it
Even then his attacks arent telegraphed, he is a poor mans dark souls boss.
For me, cap is great to get to commencement but not so great once you’re actually there
except better than any dark souls boss
So idk if this is good or nessecary but because I have yet to be able to "cheese" mithrix I really think about what I'm bringing and I scrap my atgs, and bleeds, and bombs... And medkits..
also he has at least one instant kill attack which is 'easily' dodged and feels really lame to die to
why scrap atgs and such?'
Whats the point of cheesing a game
there isnt
But yeah, Mythrix feels like a Furi boss to me, but without a ranged phase
and in Risk of Rain for some reason
Mythrix doesn't really... fit.
Cuz i know I can avoid his phase 4 attacks but add atgs to that
atgs wont spawn if he doesnt hit you
Mithrix is nowhere near beung better than every dark souls boss, maybe certain ones, but he is still very unfair if you do play dark souls like agaisnt him.
'turrets proc ATG for mythrix' was stated earlier
But I might eat a needle and I'm scared
I think fighting mithrix can be so stimulating we often can’t really focus on his telegraphs
mithrix last phase with engi is kind of boring bc your turrets keep their items
What about fighting mythrix is so stimulating that you can't pay attention to a telegraph?
ay least for me cause I can’t often get to him
If you play ror2 agaisnt him its just based on damage which gets ripped out of you by his bleed cancels and last phase so the best option is cheesing it.
when I’m fighting him I’m quite nervous
if you need a game to tell you when and where an ability is gonna hit
