ok bye
nice
with this bread, we now can begin our conquest of the realms!
still waiting for random stage artifact
today's used to be gamebreaking but was patched and people keep reporting it as bugged
Soulbound catalyst and forgive me please
Yer killin me
You're killin' me!
Your really killing me
@supple pumice
@gray ore
@nimble tree
Don't do that, please.
good evening gd2
no
jude stop @ing people
ok
what ars you takoinf abour
good afternoon gd2 how we doin
Can I just say to the devs that this game is absolutely amazing. Not that the 1.0 update is on the switch, it feels so much more like a game. There's SO much to explore and learn. Although no devs may see this, I just needed to say something. You guys/gals have struck gold with this game. GREAT job.
I'm looking forward to content to come for sure
for the record im almost certain all the (main) devs are dudes with he/him pronouns
but yes. i agree. good game
aight good to know. Just wanted to cover all the bases 😄
Question was aegis nerfed with with bungus
a hotfix will probably come together with the Sundered Grove patch
When is that gonna happen
i have no idea
Likely: tuesday
ok so
devs said 30 days for stadia sundered grove exclusivity
Ok its been 30 fucking days where is it
that's not exact at all
It’s 31 days

how's gd2 since general is on some fuck shit rn
Gd2 is better than gd1, as usual
well, yeah
i haven't even bothered to look in gd1
oh, i already see gesture talk as soon as i click on the channel
i'm out of there lmao
lmao just came from gd1 cause it died.
we were talking about the worst possible gesture equips
devs said 30 days for stadia sundered grove exclusivity
@dull ingot he said to not quote him on that which means it might not be true he said that it might not be true so please go back to your .io den
nice
wait that can happen??
9fps
Rip
yes code
🍵
sssssssip
ah, its so nice and quiet here
no difficulty/new player bullying, no arguments, just gd2
superior??
wha
so somehow i cant chat on #gd1-nullified
but can chat everywhere on this server
This chat is better
yep
How is everyone’s day so far
good
Nice
considering that right now
probably normal
Good
sd
how’s gd2 doing on this fine afternoon
Not too bad
alright i win
but do i respect the win?
perhaps
maybe
ramen always asks how is gd2 but we never ask "how is ramen"
depends on your actions
😔
@winged briar how are ya
p good
pog
how bout u
im vibin, tiny bit worried about andro, havent seen them in a bit
First try lmaoooooooo
Imagine using gd 2 😎
Damn
Is there still obliterating ?
yes
yeah, obliterating is a lot easier
meh t2 elites and void reavers can fuck u up
depends how fast you get to mith, sometimes can be easier than surviving until 8
T2 appear only after second loop tho right?
they start stage 6 I think
yeah, they start appearing on stage 6
Huh
does pyre have a discord server?
oh yeah I can't post links
dm me it
cheers
bro it's been so long since i've played ror2 multiplayer i forgot pyre existed
they have proven that ror2 was not meant for high player limits
the server screams in pain every time
I've only done multiplayer with friends
1 or 2
I’ve modded it so much it’s basically 2d ror2 now
using rts?
that shit keeps breaking my game
Ye, crashes happen a lot
that and it breaks the logbook
So is there any word on a patch for all these crashes and bugs?
Friendly reminder that rts will never be fixed
stop making me want to cry
it's okay starstorm real and good
😎
Man... i played my firat game yesterday and almost beat it apparently but now i cant get past the second level🤣
whoa color filter mod really freshens things up
thanks @wicked condor for the continually good mod suggestions
What mod is that?
I need that for Halloween event.
I like how artificer can become the most op character in the game just by having the lightning jump equipped
What do ya think o' that, Mr. monsoon playan, woolie watchan, tri-tip stackan, item stealan, gesture worshippan, polyp scrappan, corpsebloom trashan, glass avoidan, mithrix killan, huntress simpan, void fields farman, quickplay leavan, bazaar visitan, cally-breek-tattie?
What the fuck is lightning jump
ion surge I would guess
its underrated because "it takes off all damage" and "gives no benefit and makes you an easy target" which firstly its a tradeoff secondly it definitely doesnt
Flamethrower has serious early stopping power, Ion Surge is pretty safe throughout most the game
Only wish it scaled better
Easy target? For lesser whisps maybe but nothing else can hit you as long as you keep moving.
Plus eliminating the threat of all grounded attacks without having to endanger yourself with flamethrower it’s pretty good.
i feel like both are equally good, ion gives you some pretty good mobility, and flamethrower is 4295% damage on a 8s cooldown
also the 7 procs/second are pretty good
wait, does flamethrower average out to be 7 procs per sec counting cd?
oh, ok
thought flamethrower had better procs per sec than commando m1 for a sec there haha
it's only 2.75 procs per second id you consider duration
is that considering it not starting cd till after the flamethrower ends too?
hmm, thats not too bad then
although that doesnt stop me from dying whenever I use it 😔
i personally prefer ion as well
ion is pretty boring though imo
Vault way above the enemies and send a rain of destruction. Can see why it wouldn’t be for everyone but once you get the right items you feel like a flying battleship.
@forest fog rude
when im playing captain with a friend of mine we both get one beacon of loot
communism
only one ?
i can only carry two beacons
i drop tonic for one second

@north sequoia @novel sorrel Clovers do not work with bears on PS4. After grabbing 20 bears and 2 clovers, I was hit regularly. I can upload video evidence if needed
Good to know that console isnt THAT broken at least
Hah, yep! And I was so excited too... At the point I was at, I would’ve been invulnerable!
@short veldt
Bears were never affected by luck
I understand that. There was a whole debacle a while ago about how it’s different on console, and they are affected by luck on the switch apparently. I had to test to double check. Especially because a throwaway line on the wiki said they are affected by luck on PS4
big if true
Though it’s not. Not for PS4 at least.
Someone had video proof of them only having 10 teddies but a few clover stacks on switch and they blocked every single hit for like 30 seconds straight which would be almost statistically impossible if bears werent effected by luck on switch. This was pre console 1.0 though so it could have been fixed by now
@tawny plaza
So i asked kuze to test if luck affected them on ps4 whenever he had the chance. Good to know that they dont
So SML + opinion is busted or is that just me
good afternoon gd2
F u n g u s
You can say the same about fruit as well
stack fuel cells and gesture with fruit for constant skull novas
Man the new meta of this game is getting weirder and weirder
Not saying that in a bad way tho
I mean it is still based on healing/mobility/proc chains as it always has been
The meta didn't really change much over the years
But the ways to break this game are infinite and that’s awesome
I mean past stage 8 it really stops being about balance
Since at that point you usually cascade into a god run
For obliterations and killing mythrix it is pretty balanced though
Yep looped runs become basically a dopamine rush
Well the meta changed slightly with the nerfing of shaped glass
Since it was pretty based on glass stacking
Rip glass 201?-2020
Nah it is still really good but it actually has a risk now
You can still break the game by stacking it but you also get oneshot as a risk
stack infusions for so long that you overflow your max health and die
Old glass was basically like the current gesture by it's downside being an advantage in most cases
Well it’s new for me
I feel like the more i play this game the more it shows me
Including ways to break it too ofcorse
It is still really good even in Mythrix kill runs
Finally a non-dead chat
Cutting the equipment CD in half can give you a lot more DPS is a solid amount of cases
cough crowdfunder cough
cough brittle crown cough
cough glass cough
scrapper is THE only actual risk of rain fan
Yes? And?
the enemies got unstable tesla coil in void fields again :(
seriously is it weighted towards the enemies getting that item
its been happening fairly consistently
You can run out of the void if they get it
yeah i couldnt get out in time and i miss out on a red item that way though :(
I don't know if I've ever seen tesla coil in void fields
very lucky
they get tesla way more than they should for me
it's probably 3/10 voids for me
I survived it ONCE as a really stacked merc
I usually just leave the second I see it though
Never seen Tesla coil in void fields.
new meta is corpsebloom purity stacking on mando + hitting all blood shrines with crown
hmmm
wanted to share this here as well; the dps for mult's primaries with cancelling:
double rebar is 1200% dps with 2 procs per second
double nailgun is 1516% dps with 13 procs per second
nailgun/rebar is 1372% dps with 8 procs per second
as a comparison captain has 960% dps with 6 procs per second without canceling
And captain also has a stun and orbital strikes as well as near immunity to projectiles and free items/healing
Utility is just as important as damage, keep that in mind.
i wasn't trying to make a point or anything; caps damage output would be way higher anyway with perfect canceling
Hm. I getcha- also, mercenary requires careful use of his exposed mechanic in order to use his other abilities often to deal damage.
acrid is fine since it can chip away health, but with merc its just click dependant
Merc really relies on his abilities to not get hit, and they also happen to deal damage.
Survival is really first priority when playing merc.
At least, that’s how I play him
even with command artifact I'm still kinda struggling...
which build you usually start with
I know he has good procs in his base and alt r
I haven’t tried a specific build just yet, however bleeds, Crits and on hit effects work nicely with him
if you talking about command you should probably go for crit glasses and harvester's first
Crowbar is kind of a trap, as his damage comes from sustained attacks
I've been trying to build will o wisp + ceremonial daggers, since I've cleared acrid with that
but I think merc has different playstyle
proc chains are probably the better choice
The molten perforator
lol
Yeah that one is NASTY on merc
is that better than the one from imp?
What’s that one again?
imp is better early game
the crit = bleed = explode
the one that bleeds on crits
Oh, right. It’s alright if you have a crit setup going
but don't get multiple stacks, it just scales the explosion
another good boss item can be little disciple when you have good movespeed
yeah my acrid game build around that haha
its just so broken with will o wisp and cere daggers
sprinty boi
it can also be really good in a proc build tho, because of the high firerate
Yeah, on kill effects are often on the back burner with those builds though
Your main dps comes from sustained attacks
oh, another thing you should try is helfire tincture with a lot of gestures/fuel cells and razor wire stacking
it's really fun
it's technically 4000% dps with just one wire if your hitting 5 enemies
because of helfire tinctures selfdamage
just get a couple repulsion armor plates
Hm. Yeah, taking damage is risky, but it does sound neat
you basically take no damage if you get just one repulsion armor
i tried it before, trust me
If I wanted to take damage I’d just play captain 
well the damage doesn't matter if it's just 5/s
captain's fireworks is the only thing that matters
killed monsoon mith with 25 fireworks
you mean his utility?
yeah, use resupp beacon
Oh lmao
Hello gd 2
Clever bastard you are
hey
yo
Oh
Is this place superior to gd1 and why?
didn't we talkg about merc just a couple minutes ago?
does cap's microbots on the drones also kills projectile that aims toward the cap
never noticed that
Yeah, because they target any projectile
does cap's microbots on the drones also kills projectile that aims toward the cap
wrong
it kills any projectiles in a radius
captain vs umbra captain fights are so FUN totally
Well yours is a fucking sellout then
Agree
A massive deadweight sonivabitch
Yes
BUT
Mine seem to work
Let's say there's a greater wisp and I'm standing to the right
When he shoots me the bot shoots the left projectile and i get hit by the right one
Happens most of the time
What a sellout
Oh yeah, the bot just shoots one because it’s on a timer and can only zoop one projectile
Idk why it shoots the wrong one but that sucks for you I guess
even with syringes it still cant shot 2 smh
He's a sellout

Dead chat
When no one is chatting on a forum/server, such as a Discord server.
Server is silent for 15 mins.
Person: dead chat, sigh
what is
ethereal, perhaps?
like a billion potatoeys Today at 10:32 AM

ethereal is ez
got it 2nd try
Not ez but not as hard as I thought it’d be either
Just gotta pray to get a good seed and you’re set
ChiflaGoodluckToday at 2:54 AM
Doubt it. Aside from the fact this Trial will disappear in a few days, it isn’t a cakewalk. It’s easy, sure (thank you Glass
), but not effortless to get done.
Lies
ethereal is ez
@inland kraken no
yes
It's not ez but this seed is
today at least
yeah b/c the seed was okay but not too great
ok, but do you know every single item in the game and its uses?
Yes except lunar items
ha
Yo are there speedruns of Risk of Rain?
yes
Cuz that would be awesome to watch
Watch cabbage

Rex is not better than flabbage
like what would've been the paladin?
The what
It was a survivor from the contest which would have been from the planet
Think mithrix but playable
this is actually a mod
Isn't that just loader with visions and head-5vt
Well maybe
or headstompers, whatever you call em
I'd say weaver & chemist were the more interesting ideas given out
if youre polishing your merc youve failed nnn
I polished my merc for three hours yesterday
?
Yeah
I polished my merc for three hours yesterday

Whats wrong with Poland

basically with double nailgun retooling it really fast and getting the spread shot everytime means it has the best dps and procs per sec of any mult m1 combo
but you have to manually release m1 between every retool, so it is really difficult to get any use out of it without a macro
@mellow mango
I have a mouse profile specifically for playing as MUL-T which includes binds specifically for macroing rapid retooling or auto-retool-and-one-frame-clicking; even though I might take advantage of this way of playing MUL-T sometimes, I honestly feel a bit cheesy about it.
I don't know if the devs have acknowledged macro use, but if they haven't, I wish they would one way or the other. Or maybe like, make some changes so that macros aren't required to "optimally" play MUL-T -- like by letting you hold R for automatically retooling rapidly, and/or making the nailgun burst happen upon Retool if you were firing as you swapped.
I'm pretty sure that, before any items are acquired, of all the characters, MUL-T easily has the highest DPS by far of the characters, given his Retool shenanigans, right?
yeah nailgun burst automatically happening on the retool would be nice
no, cap has more base dps with m1 cancelling shenanigans
M1 cancelling shenanigans?
I'm aware that with the taser shot he can refire M1 again, but that's only when M2 is off cooldown
you can cancel his m1 with the beacon menu
it is also theoretically insane with macros, the difference is even with suboptimal human performance it is still insane
That's nuts
Yeah idk if it'd be considered a "high priority" relative to other work on the game, but I feel the devs might want to consider some sort of acknowledgment of how macro usage can make certain characters wildly more powerful than can possibly be intentional
By making the exploits less effective and/or more humanly plausible
anyway, I dont know if double nailgun with macro would be the "perfect" mult loadout
rebar/nail with a macro would probably be better for trials, and saw/something might be better in normal games still because it would scale with attack speed and has a 1.0 proc co, proc cos less than one like nailguns really get messed up by total damage
and ye, I dunno how I feel about exploits like that either
I have feeling caps will definitely be changed soon though, either made easier or just removed
and I hope they make some changes to nailgun/retool interactions
pff, thats a lot of text I just typed
I think one thing we can definitely agree on is
Scrap Launcher is trash 😂
I think it needs a little somethin-somethin to be a viable M1 at all
Maybe homing kinda like Huntress, or having utility like by letting you rocket jump with it like TF2's Soldier
add rocket jumping as a super fun utility option, reduce AoE falloff to make it a viable AoE option
boom
rn scrap launcher is pretty much arti m1 with extra damage from what i've seen. Does it have a longer cd?
i think it has a 2s cooldown or smth
but you have to keep in mind that scrapgun has to carry its own weight in mulT's kit - its not designed to weave into mulT's other skills like artificer's bolts are
good point
The scrpa launcher is similar to the rebar that you usually just quickswitch to it while using the nailgun if you need to deal with groups
Similar to how you quickswitch to the rebar for quick shots
What do you guys think is better. Mobile or stationary turrets? I’m trying to do monsoon engie
I would say that they are both viable
Mobile turrets seem to be a lot less durable
Use thermal harpoons with mobile turrets
Glass command and get a capacitor and stack crowbars
Then you can just oneshot the boss on stage 1
Bubble shield does literally nothing with mobile turrets mainly
I’ll just put it on drizzle and grab that real quick
Thermal harpoons give a lot more offensive power
Yeah I noticed.
And makes you able to deal with flying enemies yourself instead of relying on turrets
Mobile turrets usually get HP from leech seeds and scythes with their high attack speed
Also medkits are great since they get hit less often that stationary turrets
Yeah I got unlucky last run
Also mobile turrets inflict a slow which means death mark is easier to proc
Since it is the same slow that is caused by arrow rain
I got 10 soldiers syringes last run but barely any other damage or healing items
Mobile turrets are beastly with bleeds as well
You need 12 daggers for 99% mobile turret bleed but the payout is good
Well they attack 5 times per second compared to 3 times per second of normal turrets
Spider mines are also recommended
They have no wind up and run to the enemies
Oh god
Oh wait harpoons require to just clear the stage without any enemies left
Oh
You just charge the tele to 99% and things stop spawning
Oh alright
Then you just kill everything and walk in
Drizzle is recommende for the super small spawns
Actually spider mines are a direct upgrade really
I’ll get that alt skin in no time I’m sure
It has less damage than max charged mines but they have a much larger trigger radius
Most of the time you use mines as basically grenades anyway
Yeah I barely notice them doing anything
Well old mines were basically grenades since they had up to 10 charges with no wind up
Harpoons and mobile turrets come down to personal preference though
Spider mines are an exception with them being basically a direct upgrade
sdssdsds
#gd1-nullified superior.
you misspelled gesture-discussion-1
Oh word someone brought up gesture
Gesture is a hoax
Gesture actually doesn't exist
what is a woolie classic?
oops
double purity, just fly above mithrax and he cant do anything against you basically
everyone talking about how squid polyp needs a buff what really needs a buff is quickplay randoms
and also their artifact variety
b r u h just use lfg’s that’s the buff
is poison or blight better for acrid?
Bruh I just got to stage 15 and died. (Going for 52 leaf clover)
Yo I just played some survivors that I don’t play as often. Man mul-t is cool as heck. I love just switching between weapons mid-fight to go from mowing down a large enemy with the nail gun and then swatting down rows of wisps with the rebar puncher
Like, his kit in general isn’t something I play often because it just doesn’t fit with my own playstyle, but he’s still fun to pick up and play every once in a while.
@south egret Generally poison...
But if you're struggling early game Blight is actually a lot better than people give it credit
sorry but I just want to say I got all the steam achievements on Risk of Rain 2
Ok
Ok
grats
she is top tier
@south egret blight for solo play
poison for group play or if you go for drones
I would say only 1 to 2 people need to go poison since it does not stack with multiple players
While blight does
Meaning with blight several acrids you can get really high stack counts
I got commando’s alt m2 and special yay
Now I just need to get piercing wind and cap’s beacons
Cap’s beacons are easy to get tbh
any tips on how to get piercing winds? i need that one too
i figured to just get command and stack stuff like will o wisp, get a voodoo doll and let it do the work for me but im not sure
@nocturne lily just use artifact of glass it works just fine
ooh ok noted. does aegis help too? or does that not work
Barrier does not indeed count as HP but Aegis needs a lot of healing to get going
Topaz brooch will be a much easier way to get barrier
yeah alright, ill probably get command and stack those then
Nah just artifact of glass without command also does just fine
You start with 9 HP anyway so even a single brooch is enough to get full barrier
Ok so earlier I posted a character tier list based on how much I liked the characters
Now I'm going to post something more controversial, something based on my view of how objectively good the contents are
I'm going to post...
the item tier list
Feel free to fight me
D TIER TRI TIP?
Right off the bat the tri tips
tritips in D tier?
Happiest mask and snowflake above literally any other red?
Halcyon seed in the same tier as shatterspleen
Shatterspleen is an absolute S tier
In what realm is recycler D tier with radar?
how is it objective in your view? thats an opinion
You could remove a whole part of shatterspleen’s effect and it’d still be S tier. Remove the bonus 5% crit and it’d be s tier, remove the bleed on crit but keep the double 1.0 proc coefficient explosions and the bonus crit and its s tier. Remove the explosion but keep the bonus crit and bleed on crit and its still s tier
Witness the only true tier list
Transcendence is basically S tier if you do Eclipse which is nice
bandolier really does fit into that category i never thought of it like that
That's a much better list
Brainstalks really depend on the character
Since with huntress, acrid, artificer or slicing winds merc it does extremely well
Oh and suppressive fire commando
Did you know loader can have 3 pylons active at once by no more? This post was brought to you by brainstalks
Yep
Brainstalks is pretty solid with thunder gauntlet
Not as good as afterburner but still pretty useful
head set on loader is a great combo
It is okay still such a mediocre item
thats cause you havent seen 10,000% super drops
The main upside of the headstomer the fall damage immunity is negated on loader
Well that only really works if you use the base utility
I dont really like brainstalks overall but it definetly has its moments. It scales really poorly for super long runs or multitudes since you end up getting global capped cooldowns without it anyway. Its also not only reliant on killing an elite but also reliant on you being in a good position to gain something from ability spamming directly after killing an elite
Since you can punch upwards with it
you can also punch downwards with it
using the extra speed early game to power up the punch
Well the upwards is the main part with headstomers
Since it uses up tons of time to use a grapple into a stomp
Headstompers definetly has its moments aswell cuz its the strongest single hit in the game outside of really high stacks of other items
You need 34 atgs for the atg to do more damage than headstompers
i mean... yes? but kinda no
Mainly not everyone can get a great use of them
if you deal 10,000% damage, that means you probably got a 100M range impact
so you decimated the area
Mainly their lock on is really dumb
that said, its got a 1.0 proc, so you could fire off missles from 10K% drops
Yes thanks headstomp I want to stomp this one wisp and not the damn boss
grapple as you do it?
and i mean, if you are doing it right, you should be able to ballpark a hit that has a lot of range, which means the boss should be in range as well
Like I only really got some mileage with it as loader on other characters it just takes a lot of time to get high up
As said I use it with charged punch to punch upwards and then stomp down dealing 2 extremely high bursts of damage
Stompers are definetly not a late game item doe. Enemies die before you can even stomp on them after a few loops
Early game you don't have the mobility to use them
Ok I know I'm late to comment on anything but I just want to say two things
Super late game i just use it to cancel momentum lmao. Force myself to actually fall after getting launched towards the skybox
The higher jump height is often even a downside
The fall damage immunity does matter on eclipse 3 though
The high jumps are pretty nice to dodge mithrix
how is it objective in your view? thats an opinion
I screwed up my wording and I sounded way too confident, I'm a dummy
Ok bye
understandable have a nice day
Also headstompers stack awfully
i wanna do a stupid run, specifically i wanna do a stupid run where i end up with 50+ irradiant pearls
So only 2 characters can really use the stomp for early game advantage
Which are loader and artificer with ion surge
Merc can definetly get some altitude
thats too
Merc takes a bit but he can with rising thunder get some altitude
Then you must hope everything on the ground is dead
huntress can warp straight up as well, though i guess thats not very high
Since it is quite likely your R and utility are on cooldown
though, i guess anyone with strides of heresy can just go straight up and use it
it shouldnt be too hard to get one of those if you do get a headset
Depends on when you get it
Most likely it will be at stage 4 and every shop has strides immediatelly
So you might get it on stage 5 or 6 where it starts being a bit pointless
ive gone multiple shops without strides
I'd like headstomper more if i could hold space to go higher instead of being stuck with it
The low gravity jumps are a downside basically
Can't believe they turned a lunar item into a red
The low gravity jumps only really help against mithrix
their not a downside, but they are not the default jump so its jarring to switch
Well it is because it takes forever to go back down
Its too floaty for my liking
stomp?
It wastes time
Makes it easier to get hit
No the regular jumps
yeah, stomp
Having to stomp every 15 seconds to have a better jump is a bit dumb though
Got both stomper and mask on my last run, ran around with 2 scrap i found no printer for
Waste of 2 reds getting those 
what? no i mean just stomp to land soonder
Cooldown tho
The low gravity regular jumps waste a bit of time
while on cooldown you have standard jumps
It does?
Yes but having to do a stomp every 15 seconds is annoying
The floaty jumps could honestly be removed for it
i mean, thats you, dont start blaming things you dont like about an item to make it seem like its just bad
Well it is in the best tier in the game
I'd rather get desk plant tbh
So it can be critisized when it is in such a tier
otherwise id start saying things like tougher times are bad
Tougher times are a white
whats your point?
That it is a mediocre item in a tier where the best items are located
their not the best items
They are
Can't only have bangers in the red tier
only the rarest
Well there are many extremely powerful items there
Need some bleh items to balance it out
yeah, and then you have things like frost relic that pretty much everyone would trade for things like soldiers syringe
Relic is at least pretty good on melees and does a lot of damage
just because its red doesnt mean its the greatest thing since elvis
And doesn't have something that makes it annoying to have
Stomper and mask deffo are on my instascrap list
Snowflake hasnt killed me yet somehow
what? frost relic is constantly zooming the camera in and out, what an awful effect
I never really minded the FOV change to be honest
yes, see here you go, you just said it yourself, the items effect doesnt bother you
I mean it at least doesn't make me easier to hit or waste time like stomper moon jumps
no, it just sucks in general
atleast with a head set i have additional options to tackle challenges with
I mean 600% damage per second is actually a good amount
Bit so is snowflake, it gives a melee option for ranged survivors doesn't it
at point blank? the place that gets you melted?
With kills it has a solid range
People play saw mult for some reason
Well saw is insane but double saw is not great
yeah, im one of them, but even then frost relic is not a desirable red, head set is still more desirable
So you can scrap snowflake and we can scrap headstomper 😌
Like headstompers are a nice Quality of life on eclipse 3 and upwards or if you use frailty
Where fall damage is a much larger threat
I just personally prefer the base fall damage over the inconvenience headstomper brings me
fall damage isnt really a threat ever though, fall damage mitigation is like... its a thing? most practical part of that is not losing money with brittle crown
Well on eclipse 3 it can be
eh, eclipse doesnt intrigue me in any way
Unless you fall off the map fall dmg is generally not an issue
Since it is doubled and possibly lethal and sometimes you just don't get a feather as a character without momentum resets
Mainly mithrix can sometimes launch you with his attacks
Dont you just die post mithrix if you don't have any fall damage negation?
Good morning
Well if you can't stop momentum basically yes
Henlo
Also soup island is a lot more dangerous to get to
Hey
Pray to the teddy gods
Basically you are playing with artifact of frailty that only affects you and not the enemies
i wish armor was a little easier to stack
I mean a green that gives passive armor could work
It would maybe need a hyperbolic stacking though
i mean we got irradiant pearls
They are not reliable to get
their armor stacking is bonkers, but its too hard to stack reliably
the only practical way is to get a crazy pearl stack, and hope you sequence into irradiants
The pools themselves are extremely rare and the irradiant pearls are extremely rare
Well jade elephant, tonic and buckler are the only reliable way to get armor
i dont like the being forced to sprint part though, basically makes me thing "whats the point of that, nothing is gonna hit me anyway"
Perma elephant should have you coverer
permaphant is only 83%~ damage mitigation
that doesnt sound like a much nicer 95% damaage mitigation
Mult tonic and elephant and sprint around 
the sprint part again, makes it kinda moot point
The sprint resist comes in handy as mercenary, huntress and saw mul-t
besides tonic is just 20 armor, at those large numbers thats essentially nothing, not even half a percent
Especially saw mul-t though
How much would tonix + ele give you?
13%?
Mul-t has half the amount of the melees
multi has 12 armor, everyone else with armor has 20 armor
12 armor should be bout 11% damage mitigation?
anyway, irradiant pearls are OP
Gl getting even just one of those reliably
i mean its not hard, you just grab everything from a lunar shop
and keep doing that, the more difficult part atleast in solo is getting a cleansing pool to even spawn
I mean if you cheated in lunars then you can do it
cheated lunars? you can just mass produce them in a command run
Believe they only spawn in swamp, floaty platform and alloy unit maps
Mass produce lunars?
yeah, so thats why its easy to spawn coins
Clover stacking?
exactly,
Also lunar coin drop chance is halved for every time it drops
doesnt feel like it
Just edit them in if you're gonna cheese them anyway
Oblits, twisted scavs, mithrix kills are much faster
then again i only stick around for about 5 minutes per stage
Every time a lunar coin drops the chance gets halved
does it reset per stage?
No
Same with natural lunar portal spawns i believe
Their odds halve for every lunar portal that has spawned that run
oh i figured that, ive only ever seen it on stage one and two
one of these days im gonna get that silly massive stack of irradiant pearls
then im gonna go fight mithrix, who will have a silly massive stack of irradiant pearls
Time to completely legit get 420691337 lunars
nah, more like 300 or so
Farming twisted scavs, oblits or mithrix is a faster method
the REAL question though... what character should i play if i wanna get that crazy good stack of irradiant pearls
And you will need to spend over 80 lunars
well, its 1 lunar to access shop, 2 lunars per item, then 3 lunars to force a level that can spawn a pool
so anywhere from 4 to 14 lunars per shop
If youre gonna dump all your lunars at once you dont need to force a stage
If you wanna reset for only irridiscent pools
Also the downsides of all the lunars will be horrid
Then enjoy going into the thousands of stages
ive played with all lunars at once, its not so bad
I mean with command or on easier difficulties maybe
The secret is sacrificial daggers witj shaped glsss
no on monsoon without artifacts
might want to avoid stacking shaped glass super hard but all the others arent a major issue heavily stacked
Glass stops mattering if it gets rid of OSP anyway
At some point you will get oneshot from half HP by everything basically
Might as well stack it at that point
the difference between getting OS by an elder lemurian, and on shot by a lesser wisp is staggering
I mean on stage 5 you can already get oneshot by a celestine or malachite wisp
those... those dont spawn first loop under normal conditions
Well on the first loop you would need to be extremely lucky to find the pool
infact i dont think they can spawn at all first loop
three shots of an estimated 13.2%?
Dont think ive seen malachites before stage 6
not terrible odds, and thats assuming im playing alone
You need on average 25 lunars to get one irradiant pearl as well
yeah so? if im stacking like 60+ lunar items thats not gonna be an issue
i only need the one anyway
Throwback to that time i saw an irridiscent pool that yeeted the pearl off the map
ive ALMOST had that happen
You need on average 25 lunars to get one irradiant pearl as well
I got unlucky, took me 33
the pearl got stuck on the side of the wall, had to jump off to get it and take huge fall damage per pearl
I mean in the first loop you will get maybe 20 lunars with lunar pods and the shop
If we take around 3 passive lunars per shop with a few lunar pods sprinkled in
assuming maximum lunars per shop, with 0 pods in all stages i can get 20 total going into stage 4
well equipment can be allowed once, twice if playing multi
You still on average lose 6 lunar items even as mul-t
yeah, but im also assuming no pods as well
You can't carry 8 equipments
when... well about realistically i can expect pods at about... 0.4-.05ish?
Not with that attitude
and we also have to consider the real possiblity that i get cleansing pools on multiple stages, letting me clear my equipment slot(s)
I mean the chance is 13% per pool 2-3 are extremely unlikely on the first loop
ive had it happen, and i mean im trying to get a crazy high stack of irradiant pearls
It is a 50/50 to even find one
i think we already know im trying to hedge everything on a lucky run
yeah, realistically, a great run would be 5 passives per shop, and 2 passive per stage, and that is NOT likely
34% chance on at least 1 lunar pool in the first loop, if you get the stages that can get it, if you don't accidentally miss them
so hope gold coast doesnt decide to say hi
And 4% for irradiant pearls
that parts not relevent, i just need the one pearl
Ohye gold cosst can mess it up too
I hope you have hundreds of lunar coins
if im foddering 50+ its likely ill get one
I hope you have hundreds of lunar coins
@tepid wolf laughs in notepad
Ir you could just not see the pool cuz it somewhere out of the way you forgot to check
Liro hasn't edited them in
though i suspect one of my mods has changed the drop rate
Currently I have 90 which could maybe last 2 runs
what? they are bonkers OP
not really
okay, why arent they?
if you stack them, yes absolutely, but a single pearl isn't much
were talking about getting a stack of 50+
get one irradiant pearl, shrine of command
gonna have lots of regular ones after all
Shrine of order?
yes that, sorry
I mean if it doesn't change them into boss items
Is it a 50/50 or are the odds weighted?
Health is gained via shield gens/infusion
Regen is slug/overshadowed by leech
Movespeed is literally half of a goat hoof
Damage is 1 pair of crit glasses
Attack Speed/Crit, both outclassed by white items
Armor is pretty worthless because your survivor has very low base armor
Pearls are technically boss items as well
Can just not pick up oss items then
i mean if i get lucky, i can just recycle all the non irradiants to reduce the different item amounts
i'd argue regular pearls are straight up better than irradiants because they are common enough to stack
Don't forget order can change your items into scrap
i mean if i dont get the pearls first time i use shrine of order.. what are the chances im gonna live long enough to get another irradiant?
probably not very high, so in all likelihood that run is dead and id have to try again
but even then irradiants are just so worthless
Not it is a 50/50 you will end up with yellow scrap if you scrap regular pearls
the trouble of getting them outweighs their effect tenfold
i dunno, their effect is just so silly strong
ive had actual stacks from good luck before, not like 50+ but 4 irradiants were massive
Eeeh not really when the shatterspleen is in the same tier
Which is easier to get irradiants even
so? shatterspleen is good but that in some ways is just as rare to stack
irradiants are just not worth it when ALL of their effects are outclassed by white items except armor, and 10% armor is nothing
Spleen is easier to get your hands on
regular pearls just boost health. reliable, quick and easy to obtain
okay, tell me exactly what irradiants do, i want to know if were on the same page here
the extra stats Irradiants provide are pretty much worthless
The 10% to everything is nice but it is basically a regular pearl + some white items
yup, and im looking at that damage
the extra stats Irradiants provide are pretty much worthless
finally someone else said it
the Crit/Atkspd/Movespeed are literally worse than white items
Double damage is doable with tonic
eh, thats all just bonus
A single tonic is 10 pearls worth of damage
Health can be obtained via regular pearls, shield gens, infusion and barrier
oh god no, tonic is another one of those camera distorters, no thanks
10% damage is literally nothing
10% damage that affects everything is not literally nothing
and 10% armor is completely worthless
Can just get a mod that disables the camera effect
Tonic is basically an irradiant pearl but better and needs just a fuel cells a a gesture
10% armor is not completely worthless when you stack it with an elephant
if you have elephant you can't die anyway
besides were not talking a single pearl, were talking stacking
irradiants are not reliable stacking items
yes, they are not
For how rare they are, irradiants should give a 30/40% bonus
thats why i want to get a run going where i have 50+
Imagine spending 3 hous finally getting that pearl and then losing the 50/50 on the shrine of order
3 hours to get the pearl? are you silly? it takes like an hour o so
If you're lucky
and the armor boost is completely worthless if you don't have bucklers, elephant and/or play merc/loader/acrid/rex/mulT
and thats assuming BAD luck
Why would you even try for the pearl other than the logbook entry tho?
...
cause fun?
Assuming bad luck you won't get any with your 300 coins
Pearls are the rarest items in the game period
microbots tho
those dont count
u don't count :c
those Chad Gamers belong to Cap'n only
I mean u csn get microbots on any survivor in mp 😌
Tonic quadruples your regen (30 irradiants), doubles your damage (10 irradiants), multiplies you attack speed by 70% (this includes items so 7+ pearls), gives 30% movement speed (3 pearls), gives 20 armor (2 pearls), 50% extra HP (5 pearls)
you can get it on anyone in single player as well, if you use metamorphsis
Or if you have a 4 captain metamorphosis run
if
uh no pearls increase all armor by 10%, they dont actually give armor if you have no armor to begin with

@tepid wolf armor is actually a boost %, so if you don't have armor, its worthless
for pearls, i mean
Irradiants boost all of your armor by 10%, but half of the cast doesn't have innate armor
that said, 1 pearl increases armor from elephants by 50
Also getting microbots in sp (if not for the logbook) is not a big brain play
Yes but elephant needs tons of gestures and fuel cells and you won't have gestures if you go for pearls
but fuel cells arent unreasonable
Well fuel cell printers are not very common
Who knows maybe youll have 200 fuel cells from order
ah yes because that makes such a huge difference
yes, now as i said, stack of 50+
glhf getting a stack of 50 in vanilla
you take 1% less damage
that said, 1 pearl increases armor from elephants by 50
@floral sundial nope, irradiant only increases base values
its really cringe
If you try to say that pearls are op with 50 stacks you can say that about a lot of items
Gimme 50 stacks of willy wisps
Saying something is OP with 50 stacks is dumb
with 50 pearls, your armor would increase by 500%, aka 6 x 500 = 3000
really? cause a lot of items arent as eay to get to a stack of 50+
They are
Much easier
Actually a lot easier
im trying to imagine a stack of 50 reds
a lot of items don't need to be stacked to 50
i dont see it being easier then 50 irradiants actually
Just use command
With 50 pearls on merc your armor would be 120. It only scales base armor
thats the piont, command disables pearls
Or a printer
3000 armor grants about a 97% damage reduction, which is barely noticable from the normal 84% Elephant provides
command doesn't disable red items
Yeah but were talking about not pearls noe
You can get 50 reds with the soup bowls
And how much easier theyd be to get
no you are comparing getting a stack of 50 pearls to getting a stack of 50 of something else
yes that is completely logical
Because you still seem to act like getting 50 irradiants is trivial
and under the same conditions you can get a stack of 50 irradiant pearls thats much harder for reds, and probably just as hard for greens
@mossy garden firstly irradiant pearl doesnt stack with non armor and secondly, a 84% to 97% damage reduction results in you taking less than a fifth of the damage you did before
And the soup bowl also exists
im seeing a 13% difference in damage
the chance for a cleansing pool to spawn WITH an irradiant as its innate drop, aka a 0.53% chance
Armor is hyperbolic so it doesn't do much past a certain point
Instead of taking 13% less damage why not stack normal pearls and get 500% extra health
I'm gonna put it this way: by the point you can comfortably stack 50 pears your game has either crashed, on the verge of crashing or completely trivialized anyway
past elephant it becomes pretty worthless tbh
If a hit deals 100 damage and you have 84% damage resist it deals 16 damage. If you have 97% damage resist it deals 3 damage. This is less than a fifth as much
who cares about innate drop? im gonna be feeding over 50 lunars into any pools i see
i just need THE ONE irradiante to use a shrine of order
you realise that you just reroll cleansing pools every time you dump a lunar in right?
What are you gonna be ordering it with?
thats how ill be attempting to stack 50 of them!
im not some idiot thinking hes just gonna roll 50 irradiants from cleansing pools now
...
Wait, pearls don't turn into any other yellow item?
your chances for getting an irradiant to even spawn is already stupid low
well ill have a bunch of regular pearls, and one irradiant
It will still be a 50/50
Just think of armor as % effective hp. 500 armor is basically 500% damage that can be taken before you die compared to no armor. 3000 armor is basically 3000% more damage that can be taken before you die compared to no armor and so on
And you think you can do this on the first loop
The math works out almost perfectly for that
on first loop? hell no
also Pools can only spawn on 3 stages, so good luck with that
You were talking about the pools on the first loop constantly though
id be lucky to even HAVE ten pearls before stage 3, where i can find a shrine of order
first loop would be the aquisition of pearls, second loop would be conversion to irradiants
ideally atleast
Well you won't be getting 50+ of the intended pearls on the first loop
thats why the idea of trying it makes it so fun
Best you can hope for is 6-7 lunars per stage, assuming you buy out the shop (and assuming it only has passives) and a few lunar buds spawn
well i mean if i got all the conditions to align within two loops id be fine with just 25
All those stacked corpseblooms will sure be good past the first loop
i mean, transcendence
