That's because it's not a very good idea.

yeah the regular bosses are easy
buoyant lynx
Rushing a tele means you spend less time looking for items, meaning you will get fucked up yourself on later stages.
brave relic
but mithrix or reaching the obelisk will be your enemies
if you just rush a lot you'll just not have enough dps for the T2 elites or Mithrix

I’m guessing that the idea is to rush to stage 4 and farm there because the items are better, rather than wasting time trying to items that aren’t worth it
buoyant lynx
I’m guessing that the idea is to rush to stage 4 and farm there because the item...
No, generally stage 1 or 2 you can rush at around 2-3 minutes, stage 3-5 you'll want to spend some time farming.
brave relic
you have to make a mix of rush and having enough items
buoyant lynx
Not really since Huntress is really easy learn. She's pretty much just W+M1 with her other skills tossed in when needed.
brave relic
I usually can get 5 items on stage 1 at 2-3 minutes
and I rarely need to stay more than 6-7 minutes
rich relic
The amount of items I find on stage 1 is inconsistent. That’ll prolly change with experience tho
brave relic
yeah I'm not saying like you're gonna get 5 items on stage 1 always with enough experience
buoyant lynx
Usually you don't spend as much time on stage 1 or 2 is because at lower difficulties the loot distribution is also lower.
brave relic
because sometimes chests are too far away or you just can't find them at all
buoyant lynx
But you certainly don't want to rush at 1 minute

X seconds of not taking damage in a game like RoR (especially 2 since 3D) is increasingly difficult no matter what items you have

i like the dynamics of exec and i love how devs gave players incentive to finish of enemies with ion axe (+1 more bullet than usual), but nemmando is very unique and hella strong
henry is pretty similar to nemmando btw
and what's your choice?
tulip nimbus
I think executioner is like super balanced and the axe is satisfying as hell and as far as nemesis goes I unlocked him yesterday and haven't played a run with him yet but ill try him out today he looks very cool

Well the scoreboard is the point I make since the best way to get score is high single hit so loader or MUL-T both out do everyone else in that regard
Single Hit damage score is a 1x multiplier so a 325k hit will give you 325k, gold is also a 1x multiplier but multiplayer people end up with similar anyway

I'm not that experienced on Rex, but I feel like I can maybe offer some advice. I'm also saying this assuming you're going for Mithrix, as obliteration can be adapted to suit that context. Proc items are good on Rex. They want 2 extra debuffs to get death mark if possible. Mobility is very important in general. If you need to, prioritize drinks and hooves and even red whips at shops to give you that boost. Hopoo feathers are also one of the best items in the game. Rex's damage is already pretty solid. They have armor reduction built in, which is very strong in general. Warbanner is very good and you should get used to using it because it stacks well and procs often in biomes plus can be used during Mithrix if you level up from one of the chimeras in the fight. Shaped glass is kinda a no brainer unless you are running a Hellfire/n'kuhana's build then in that case glass is bad. Take your time on stages to get more items. Also, be sure to experiment with different equpiments to supplement your build's weak spots.

I would love a remaster where they give them a same launcher or something, so launch Risk of Rain and then choose which one to play would be cool

RoR1 is still great but it has a lot holding it back when compared to the sequel
fathom tiger
you play risk of rain 2, get to a hidden realm, you find an arcade machine, then you play the ror1 remaster

It really solidifies how ROR2 is a perfect sequel

The central idea of rex is healing is damage and damage is healing. Anything that boosts your m1 dps like syringe also increases your healing, and anything that improves your healing increases the rate you can use m2, which is your main damage. R is a great tool for groups of enemies, especially if you have a will-o-wisp or ukelele. You need to monitor your health, but don't be too conservative with it. It's good to learn how to move with shift. You want some healing items early on, but you have enough built in that movement and damage are more important. Some items that stick out: syringe, backup mag, topaz brooch, gasoline, hoof and glasses (but those are for everyone) , will o wisp, ukelele, razorwire, probably others. Also, I really like woodsprite for rex, the flexible healing is useful
dry dirge
NEVER take wake of vultures on rex tho
why
sharp zenith
Hell, maybe they’re finally making the original sequel to RoR1 where you play as the monster
hybrid vault
When you kill an overloading elite with wake of vultures, half of your health is converted into shield, which cannot be healed normally. Transcendence converts all of your health into shield
sharp zenith
They changed that
hybrid vault
what do you mean?
sharp zenith
Half of your health is added onto your normal health as shield, not replaced
It used to work like you said, but it was adjusted
buoyant lynx
That's 50% of your max HP converted to shield, yep.
hybrid vault
they're the same thing
buoyant lynx
Wait, you’re using the Aspect
WoV gives the Aspect's effect, so it's the same.
buoyant lynx
It might look like that since shield technically doesn't count towards your max HP
hybrid vault
WoV was changed at one point, you're not wrong about that. Originally, getting the overloading aspect from WoV didn't give you the shield immediately, so it would halve your max health and you would need to wait for the shield to regen
but now it just gives you the shield immediately

I wonder if we'll get cross play after the console versions sync up with the pc version. Like, at least sometime in the future...
hybrid vault
it is very unlikely we'll ever be getting cross play, since the pc and console versions have a different source code iirc
cross play is also kind of difficult and expensive to set up, I think
south bramble
Maybe through an upgraded dedicated server software.
buoyant lynx
Maybe through an upgraded dedicated server software.
That wouldn't help.
The thing here is Console and PC versions use separate source code
hybrid vault
I could see cross play between consoles down the line, but it's still not that likely
south bramble
I mean, do you think the traffic they send is very different?
south bramble
Yeah, which is why I was suggesting after the versions are synced up by the in-house team.
buoyant lynx
Won't help too much since, again, console and PC use separate source code
south bramble
I mean, the source code could be different still, they just have to change what they all send in order for it to work.
buoyant lynx
They also have something with Steam that has it rely on the Steam cloud or something
south bramble
Of course, depending on how different it is could change a lot.
south bramble
This was before dedicated server software
when you had to connect p2p through steam
buoyant lynx
If you want to ping Hopoo or Ghor to ask, be my guest

That would be somewhat pointless, since they probably will not update their statement until they decided to change it.

Exactly, they don't show plans to do cross-plat, so for the forseeable future, there will be no cross plat
south bramble

Enforcer may be part of the DLC, but in the meantime you get the Enforcer mod.

Enforcer may be part of the DLC, but in the meantime you get the Enforcer mod.
If this is the right mod (https://youtu.be/75zIVdu5Moc), I have to say, that it really looks and feels like a causal attempt to port the Enforcer 1:1 into RoR2, which is nothing like any other official RoR2 Survivor from the prequel.

It's a very well done mod, not sure why you thought it's casual
with "casual" I didn't mean it's buggy or something. I meant like there was no extra thought in it's design, like Hopoo does, when they bring back an old survivor. I don't think Bandit will be a 1:1 copy of it's old design as well. I'm sure, while it's core essence will be the same, he will be quite different.

Hey guys what tips do you have for doing the mastery challenge on artificer? I'm talking artifacts mainly but just tips in general
So far for artifacts I have command sacrifice and chaos
winged nimbus
No I'm not good enough at the game to not take damage like that
I mean it took me way too long to unlock rex so being at what's basically 1 health isn't very inviting
dull ingot
more
Uh in all seriousness, maybe take off chaos
Cheese the shit out of the game with the void and the artifact portal
winged nimbus
Why? It makes the monsters hurt each other makeing them target each other and I assume you dont get hurt by ion surge
hybrid vault
ion surge will kill you'
winged nimbus
And what's the void and artifact portal
dull ingot
Free items
ocean bronze
Gasoline will also kill you
dull ingot
No time lossed
winged nimbus
I'm sorry but what? It is literally impossible to dodge
Why would they make ion surge hurt you
hybrid vault
the game isn't built around chaos
dull ingot
You could use ice spear
winged nimbus
And because that’s how chaos works
Right im just saying don't you think they would make it so ion surge specifically doesn't kill you
dull ingot
Nope
winged nimbus
And yes of course I'm using ice spear
dull ingot
the game isn't built around chaos

ALL of your own attacks will hurt you with chaos, that's how it works

Well I heard from one guy on reddit that swarm might be good since they'll have less health and I'll get more items

Don't trust reddit always, but yes, if you use Swarms + Sacrifice you'll statistically get more items than Sacrifice alone

If you can dodge good yeah, using big bomb would help with swarm too
winged nimbus
And command is a no brainer

Ah, Sacrifice + Swarms + Command... AKA Super baby mode enabled.

This is the mastery challenge we're talking about so just keep that in mind

No, seriously, Command on its own turns Monsoon into Drizzle.

what does that change?
echo matrix
I really like playing just sacrifice and swarms
dull ingot
It’s very understandable, I used it for engineer bc I hate playing as him
echo matrix
It's a gameplay change rather than a difficulty demolidher

If you are having problems with the wisp, Swarm may not be a good idea

If you are having problems with the wisp, Swarm may not be a good idea
Oh its not that they're just way to accurate and long range for me but i can get by with ice spear since if I am using swarm they basically get one shot if I use ice spear and maybe her alt primary

is there any good side too commandos grenade?
hybrid vault
frag grenades are better than suppressive fire in every way
buoyant lynx
is there any good side too commandos grenade?
Everything
Grenades have aoe, which is crucial on commando, while Suppressive Fire has none to it. Also, Suppressive Fire is just your Double Tap, getting slightly more speed and stun grenade on top. You're not losing out when you use grenades, as you're still able to use skills while it explodes. Not only that, but Grenade will output way more DPS than Suppressive Fire will, when you learn how to throw it. "B-but you can't hit flying enemies with it!" Your Double Tap and Phase Round/Phase Blast are still present to deal with annoying flying enemies. Even then, Wandering Vagrant (literally the smallest boss in the game) can be easily hit with the Grenade due to its tentacle hitboxes.
The only thing Frag Grenades aren't good at is easy to use
dull ingot
ok
buoyant lynx
Once you learn how to throw them though, they are in every way better than Suppressive

Eclipse 8 is the hardest of the difficulties and has the most modifiers
Eclipse 8 has the modifier, "All damage is Permanent"
and Rex sort of self damages as part of his gameplay so....

you wouldn't really be allowed to use you R though since it'd be counter intuitive to the whole eclipse 8 thing

On top of the fact Huntress has no base armor, so she fully relies on mobility to survive. And of course, her very low DPS
twin arch
Personally an old timey bungus farmer, but that's pretty much only because I played EA engi.
bright palm
Mul-T has the lowest base damage (not accounting for how his skills modify his base damage) at 11
Engineer has the second highest (base 14)
Acrid has the highest (base 15)
and everyone else has a base of 12
twin arch
Honestly, all of the characters are pretty fun, at least, I think.
buoyant lynx
Lots of mobility feels great
Loader

MUL-T compensates for lowest by having stupidly insane DPS
sterile hearth
My least favorite has to be captain tbh
bright palm
yea, lol
safe copper
huntress is fun, unfortunately if you dont have very good items, you will never defeat stage 4 alloy worship unit lol
twin arch
Loaders fun for when I want revenge on the game for spawn screwing me
safe copper
My least favorite has to be captain tbh
that has also been my experience, but i play console so maybe he's more fun on PC
tulip nimbus
My condolences
bright palm
Base damage is mainly important for things like items you grab like ATGs which will do damage based off of your base damage but no one has anything that quite changes anything significantly to a point where its noticeably better than anyone else
buoyant lynx

He's really good on PC, but kind of bland. His kit doesn't mesh together super well and it's really just mostly firing your primary and stacking on-hits.
sterile hearth
I play on pc and ps4, i think hes good but id still rather play anyone else
twin arch
And hitting kjaro-punches, gotta get those mega numbers
oak grove
I have a lot of fun playing captain
buoyant lynx
Oh yeah i got brilliant behemoth in my first chest as Captain one time
KABOOM
bright palm
what's fun about these stats is that Mul-T, despite having the lowest base damage and decreased chance to proc items is still a monster because of the high fire rate on two of his weapons
oak grove
Captain mithrix is pain though

Who cares about base damage when Saw can proc an upwards of 10 times per second?
bright palm
*Who cares about base damage when Saw can proc an upwards of 10 times per second...
exactly, base damage is meaningless
safe copper
wait i was meaning to ask this
sterile hearth
Gotta beat monsoon as Bandit day 1
bright palm
huntress shares a base damage with loader but we all know how loader is
safe copper
does soldier syringe increase hits per second of power saw?
tulip nimbus
Yeis
bright palm
yes
sterile hearth
Power saw is really fun
twin arch
The saw can go BRRRRRRR
buoyant lynx
Saw is both fun and really good. It's better than Nailgun
bright palm
At speed makes the saw hit faster (it also makes laser turrets hit faster too)
tulip nimbus
All m1s are affected by syringe except artificer
bright palm
Saw also has a proc chance of 1
sterile hearth
I use saw/rebar when i play mul t
bright palm
it is the best thing for poccing items in the game
bright palm
true
buoyant lynx
but you need the right items for melee mul-T to be sustainable
Not really.
He's already sustainable from the get go, and because of the insane proc rate on Saw, you only need a few on hits to maximize it
I'm not kidding when I say a single tri tip is enough on the Saw
twin arch
I always found it to be very high risk, high reward. Don't play mult too much though, I definitely need to play em more
safe copper
maybe im not doing it right, but against the stage 5 mobs, i dont feel that comfortable rushing into the pile without good healing
bright palm
the main problem with Saw mul-t is keeping your health up in my experience
at least early game
safe copper
stage 4 too to some extent
twin arch
maybe im not doing it right, but against the stage 5 mobs, i dont feel that comfortable rushing into the pile without good healing
@safe copper
I feel that, elite parents are scary
buoyant lynx
A single leech seed or just strafing around should do the trick as Saw MUL-T, and because it has a vacuum effect you can legit hop over the enemy's head
bright palm
Mul-T has the highest health of any character but still has a base regen of 1
bright palm

yea, actually
Mul-t with either nailgun or saw gets the best use out of leech seed of any character
sterile hearth
Makes you kinda stick to bosses, its kinda weird but nice
buoyant lynx
Not really on nailgun since the healing from seed is affected by proc coeff, but yes on Saw
bright palm
and considering things like Crit aren't affected by proc coefficient, both are also equally good with crit items like harvesters and predatory
safe copper
saw definitely feels like the uncontested best use of it
buoyant lynx
Saw and Crowdfunder are the best for a Leech seed.
bright palm
also, I just checked stats again
safe copper

sounds like i gotta practice some more
bright palm
I did not realize they removed the Melee health regen on merc
mellow mango
Nailgun is still 7.2 procs per sec
sterile hearth
I was honestly surprised when i learned leeching seed was affected by proc
safe copper
it makes sense
bright palm
I forget it's affected by proc too
buoyant lynx
I did not realize they removed the Melee health regen on merc
Well, in place of that you have the comboing system to wipe enemies and reset the cooldowns on Blinding Assault (And Evis if you use that in place of SW)
bright palm
Merc was never meant to be tanky to begin with so it makes sense
you're more of a dodge and weave character
you have all the abilities for it
buoyant lynx
Merc is both one of the best and one of the most balanced characters
Merc effectively scales with player skill. The better you are, the better the character, and likewise, the worse you are, the worse the character
Well designed and well balanced while still being excellent
bright palm
maybe one day I'll take off the training wheels (evis) and try him out for real
buoyant lynx
Oh and Merc actually has the highest DPS played effectively with SW, excluding Captain's unholy 14400%
bright palm
key words, played effectively
long temple

Yes.

ice climbers in ultimate are potentially the best characters but you don't see them played by anyone since its only theoretical

Different. Wobbling is inconsistent and frame perfect. Merc combos are not
long temple
oh fuck thats alot of exposed
bright palm
I don't know what I just watched but I've never seen anyone do that before
tulip nimbus
I don't know what I just watched but I've never seen anyone do that before
The only "cool" ice climber combos you will ever see are twitch clips or labs. Its not a tournament viable character
bright palm
like that's not something I think you can capitalize on all the time but if you learn how to do that consistently? damn
buoyant lynx
3rd M1 Slash to Blinding Assault is yet another reason why you should never take Visions of Heresy nor Strides of Heresy on Merc (in addition to looking badass and being very practical once learnt)
bright palm

I mean the merc video but yea, you're right. Ice Climbers are only theoretically the best but ultimately not worth the time of competetive players to learn when you could just play any of the top tiers instead
buoyant lynx
He's the ice climbers of RoR2 except actually much more viable lel
bright palm
like why play a character who can kill you from a grab at zero when you can learn a character that doesn't require you to break your wrists to even start learning?
tulip nimbus
Yea that

Why did this video just like randomly start getting shared around when like nobody cared about it a few weeks ago 😳
bright palm
Merc is cool but not my thing but damn is he actually a good character worth your time if you like him
mellow mango
Imagine taking visions on merc
bright palm
unlike huntress
buoyant lynx
Imagine taking visions on merc
Or strides, for that matter
bright palm
I don't think visions is good on anyone besides engi, but that's my take
buoyant lynx
Visions works on Acrid, Engie, and Loader fairly well
It's a DPS up for the most part on Huntress
bright palm
ow, that last example hurt my soul
mellow mango
But my auto aim 😎
bright palm
remove the punch from the punch lady?
tulip nimbus
And artificer
buoyant lynx
Full crit Flurry just slightly out DPSs Visions
buoyant lynx
remove the punch from the punch lady?
You only need the one big punch anyways
tulip nimbus
Does full crit flurry out dps full crit visions?
bright palm
You only need the one big punch anyways
I disagree but I play loader a different way
mellow mango
Full crit Flurry just slightly out DPSs Visions
Thats if ignoring the actual crit I assume though right?
buoyant lynx

I think so, Charlie did the tests when MonsterSkinMan asked in the lab discord
mellow mango
Because it definitely sounds somewhat misleading
