Edgebugging is already taken.
tepid wolf
Where going really fast while charging made you very slippery
Allowing you to gain a lot of height from ramps at the right angle
tepid wolf
This is slamming https://youtu.be/EpvttjdK2lY
Great against vagrants and the worship unit
Also greater wisps
glass plinth
If it can fly, you can slam it.
Maybe not on mithrix constructs, haven’t done that on them.
tepid wolf
Also mercenary is insanely good with brilliant behemoth
Makes attacks cause 2 expose stacks
languid sun
Thanks! Also on a secondary note, which bosses/enemies you loathe most?
glass plinth
Makes attacks cause 2 expose stacks
Oooh
tepid wolf
It's nuts with slicing winds
plain plinth
Had one silly run where I had no damage but I did have uppercut with purity on merc...so I did my duty and beat a mountain shrine greater wisp swarm by uppercutting them above the map so they'd die instantly.
glass plinth
I thought it would be the same thing as rebar-behemothwith mult
Penetration and all, but that’s interesting too
tepid wolf
You can see it here https://youtu.be/VjAyjJbtKtQ
Like the CD reduction it gives is insane
glass plinth
Well that makes Behemoth an S teir merc pick then
tepid wolf
Yeah it is
Especially with focused assault and slicing winds
Which are my favorite to use now. They have so much combo potential
languid sun
Me after seeing the slamming video:
tepid wolf
Also you can use the third merc m1 attack into a m2
glass plinth
Me after seeing the slamming video:
Loader can do it to fyi
tepid wolf
Basically both are used at the same time
glass plinth
Pulling enemies into walls and all
languid sun
How? I love Loader, she is the most fun character so far.
languid sun
I hate wisps soooo much
heavy lintel
As a loader main wisps bad
languid sun
In the first game you could easily dodge their fire with the proper timing, but here?
languid sun
With Loader I just toss her lil drone and run away
heavy lintel
Yer so
tepid wolf
Wisps are next to no damage for her
heavy lintel
I just grapple them
tepid wolf
Brass contraptions though are the worst
echo dagger
I didn’t know how to do it consistently, huh. I managed to kill a couple of vagrants but it was usually by chance that it worked lol. Now I hopefully won’t accidentally send them all the way across the map
heavy lintel
Or grater wisps
languid sun
Brass Contraptions are easy to dodge, you just have to pay attention to their cues. Now if you are grappled, slowed or busy with something else, then yeah, they will turn you into tomato sauce.
glass plinth
Contraptions almost always spawn behind me
languid sun
And Greater Wisps are too slow, it's easy to run beneath them.
glass plinth
75% of my brass deaths have been from elite contraptions I either forgot about or did not hear
tepid wolf
Yep
glass plinth
Greater wisps are non threats
glass plinth
If you stand still, sure they can one shot you by bypassing OSP.
languid sun
Everything is trouble when in a horde.
glass plinth
But you can also just jump.
heavy lintel
And I never face one normally 2-4
heavy lintel
That’s the same as a normal horse
glass plinth
Ehh they’re usually pretty slow, depends on the elite
tepid wolf
Well since there is usually a lot they can easily swarm you
Outside of hordes greater wisps are a joke
glass plinth
I’d be worried about that in a small room but nowhere else
Blazing or shock would be scary though.
tepid wolf
Hordes of brass contraptions are just pure hell
glass plinth
Brass horde stage 5 = death
languid sun
Especially when you're in a melee character like loader or merc.
glass plinth
Thankfully this nearly never happens now because that stage actually has a boss
tepid wolf
Loader is pretty fine
languid sun
I shouted when Brass Hordes appeared on stage 3
tepid wolf
In general loader is way too good
glass plinth
Loader can handle the larger flying enemies.
glass plinth
Except range including range.
languid sun
I hope they don't nerf her.
glass plinth
a good m1
tepid wolf
Loader can also just hold m1 at the bosses and win
glass plinth
I hope they don't nerf her.
Nerf and rework are different things. But as of now, loader is fun which is all that matters
languid sun
Exactly, whenever I'm too pissed at bad RNG I just hop on Loader and have fun.
glass plinth
Loader can also just hold m1 at the bosses and win
Yeah her armor plus the barrier makes it pretty good with attack speed or even just one repulsion plate for the first loop
glass plinth
Exactly, whenever I'm too pissed at bad RNG I just hop on Loader and have fun.
If fun is not attainable outside of only one survivor, that’s a different issue
tepid wolf
Like just compare the original characters from when the game was first added to steam compared to the new ones
The old characters are not bad, but have a weaker average power level
languid sun
Enforcer was definitely turned into the Captain.
glass plinth
engineer, huntress, commando(post attack speed buff)
tepid wolf
Like they needed to making scaling faster to balance newer survivors, but gimped the older ones
glass plinth
No wait, engie was added later.
glass plinth
Like they needed to making scaling faster to balance newer survivors, but gimped...
Elaborate.
languid sun
Yeah, engineer was added later.
tepid wolf
Older characters were built for a very different time
Like the game has changed so much
glass plinth
Merc was fairly strong back then though. Best mobility until loader came round.
MulT is and was still pretty good.
languid sun
And Captain is definitely a reworked Enforcer, think about it, shotgun, stationary defenses, secondary ability is to stun...
tepid wolf
Merc was really braindead until 1.0
tepid wolf
Like the power level of Rex, Captain, Loader, Acrid and Bandit are so high
languid sun
I love the enforcer (he is one of my favorites in the first) but it would be hella hard to adapt a character that with a press of a button becomes invincible to literally half of the screen.
heavy lintel
Has there been any news on anniversary updated or console yet
tepid wolf
Judging by the mod enforcer transferred to 3D pretty well
glass plinth
I love the enforcer (he is one of my favorites in the first) but it would be hel...
The devs have addressed that, enforcer having directional damage nullification would be pretty interesting and fun
languid sun
Oh they did? Awesome!
tepid wolf
Mainly tanking is niche in ROR2
glass plinth
Enforcer was busted in 2d because that’s actually half the screen
If you put your shield up wrong in a 3D environment you’re just standing still.
tepid wolf
Having a proper tank character would be nice
glass plinth
MuLT is kinda serving that role. New special really leans into that.
languid sun
It was sorta balanced with the incredibly low range of the enforcer and the fact that area attacks were his weakness, his mobility was awful.
tepid wolf
Power mode mul-t is the closest to that
languid sun
Don't forget the shield of the engineer
tepid wolf
Not really a full on tank at all
languid sun
Yeah, you're right, my bad
glass plinth
no they’re fairly similar
tepid wolf
Also m1 loader is a tank
Similar with melee acrid kinda. Power mode mul-t is the closest thiugh
glass plinth
Barrier isn’t that strong imo, it’s the pressure off your healing items that’s good.
languid sun
I think that Rex is also quite powerful, his special is literally the cube equipment mixed with hp drain
glass plinth
Rex’a special is pretty good yeah
somber trellis
can blight be good?
glass plinth
“Weaken” is nice, but I mostly just like the rocket jumping
languid sun
(though they should give a soft cap on the drain, as in, he ends with 1 hp and can't use his skills until he recovers)
glass plinth
can blight be good?
ehhhhhhh, sometimes.
tepid wolf
It is good pre loop
I know it's again the same guy, but watch the Striker Hutassa video on jt
glass plinth
Yeah. Like many of the unlocks, usage depends on if you want to loop or kill mithrix
tepid wolf
It's a very in depth analysis of the two choices
Also rose bucklers are super underrated
They give a lot of damage resistance
somber trellis
ehhhhhhh, sometimes.
i can't imagine any situation when i'd take it
besides "i hate it so i'll take it"
tepid wolf
Nab blight is really gokd
As said watch that video on it
Sure it's long but really tells the strenghts and weaknesses of both
somber trellis
i played with one guy that loved acrid with blight
glass plinth
I dunno, rose bucklers are nice but the issue is I want most other greens and more than half the characters can’t sprint and do anything else.
glass plinth
I guess it’s an option for when you’re about to get hit regardless, and want the damage reduction to kick in
tepid wolf
Blight can easily be kept at 4-5 stacks as melee acrid
glass plinth
poison: 37 dmg
blight: ***7*** dmg
Poison: based on scaling target hp
Blight: based on stack count and semi-scalable damage.
tepid wolf
Also as melee acrid the ability to kill eith blight ks gkod
Also blight is more single target damage until you loop
glass plinth
In summary; scale with looping scaling, or overpower enemies with high stack counts loop 1
tepid wolf
And has more item synergies
glass plinth
TLDR:
blight for 5 stage game.
Poison for looping.
tepid wolf
Blight for melee acrid really
glass plinth
Yeah if you’re gonna shoot at em you want poison.
Then again, purity is available so you can sometimes make it work.
tepid wolf
Blight makes early game melee acrid way nicer
And later on bite takes over for damage
glass plinth
Same case for desperado
tepid wolf
Desperado is a sidegrade really
glass plinth
Looping makes it hard to stack quickly, but first loop you get like 70 stacks per stage if you get one crowbar
tepid wolf
The 60% damage per kill just clears the earlier stages
glass plinth
Desperado is a sidegrade really
I would say that depends on how the build stands post stage 5, but I can agree
tepid wolf
Also great against Mithrix
Since you can kill the minions before the fight for stacks
glass plinth
right.
tepid wolf
Especially the small bombs
glass plinth
This is also why I think purity stacking+desperado is really fun
tepid wolf
Had over 30+ stacks at one point
glass plinth
You don’t need lights out because you already have no cooldowns, and desperado suddenly becomes way easier to stack
glass plinth
It is? Does it rob you of stacks like
tepid wolf
So kills with the AOE explosion also gives stacks
glass plinth
Oh that’s awesome then. Base damage + stack damage x behemoth explosion
tepid wolf
So you can get a bunch with grouped up enemies
glass plinth
Yeah that’s what I hoped bands would do
But they didn’t, so I assumed behemoth wouldn’t too
tepid wolf
Desperado has a less negative rep than blight at least
glass plinth
You telling me this makes me want to play bandit and sniff out a behemoth lol.
tepid wolf
Since a lot of people are still confused on how Desperado stacks
glass plinth
Really? Seems pretty straightforward
The issue seems to be people trying to babysit executions
tepid wolf
The 10% confuses some people
glass plinth
Which is understandable, it can get frustrating, especially if you have drones.
tepid wolf
Also it's confusinf for some sinxe Desperado uses the base damage value for the increase and not the last value
Haven't seen that one yet
It's mostly the aformentioned misconception of it being additive
glass plinth
Gotcha

Hi ! I've got all the percentages in my profile stats shown as "75?" instead of "75%". Does anyone have the same issue ?
languid sun
Bleh, I hate when I have to go on drizzle just for the sake of some unlocks, like killing a boss in five seconds for the engineer and in a single burst attack with the artificer
Especially after I tried unlocking it on rainstorm and I had three dunestriders in a row.
Dunestrider is the boss I find most annoying, though the gentle wanderer comes close to a second.

is there any way to turn off the lunar equipments blue glow (the tonic, i forget its exact name), i love running it with gestures of the drowned, but it makes the game super annoying to look at
faint onyx
Like changes your screen color?
Cause in the newest pc update they added a feature so it doesn’t do that
dusky copper
i use it fairly often, and it still adds the blue filter and makes item outlines go wacky
unless they patched it out yesterday, i didnt play yesterday

is it just me or is scrap launcher kinda good on mult 🥴
has the best dps other then saw (by 40%), is a fuckin explosion, the cooldown recharges WHILE firing, has better range then saw and nailgun, ect
why people be sleeping on it? for early game it sounds insane and feels insane too
vague lintel
attack speed scaling
vague lintel
the shot speed is but the recharge isnt
mellow mango
people dont really sleep on it, scrap is insane
but in 1.0 it was far worse so people are still getting used to it

ive never seen a mult use scrap

also yeah no attack speed scaling is sad
jolly zephyr
split forum
i wish it was like bandits, but i suppose its still good for my mythrix% runs
vague lintel
scrap is good

would purity be good on it? it'd reduce the cooldown to 0.5 secs, so you'd be set right
mellow mango
purity allows it to scale with attack speed but purity is also purity
split forum
baseddddd
mellow mango
prob not worth it imo but certainly an option
split forum
im not gonna run purity but ill start doing nailgun + scrap instead of nailgun + nailgun
it covers nailguns weaknesses and attack scaling doesnt matter bc you'll be using nailgun at that point to proc anyways LMAO
somber trellis
i kind of like purity
(alt utility huntress purity in chat)
split forum
i love purity
the cooldown DPS addition makes up for the lack of procs
and with only 1 you still proc quite alot
somber trellis
acrid with alt m2 and purity like:

the only reason why people hate on it is bc people are nerds who like looping 🙄
for mythrix% it works just fine

if you looping there is possibility to find clover to negate purity

but yeah it could be a joke, but since they did even try to argument their takes, I think it's legit
which gives me pain

I love how they say visions on engi is “debatable”
But it’s good if you run those garbage mobile turrets 😏
blazing lagoon
but laser sword can carry u in first loop, which is almost the entire point of some runs
brave relic
visions engi = debatable
visions merc = yes
blazing lagoon
maybe he's engineer main, who knows
mellow mango
Visions merc bad

I don't want to think that hemorrhage is underwhelming, it's a very cool concept
brave relic
hey, more reasons to backstab bastards
blazing lagoon
brave relic
the damage dot is pretty strong
blazing lagoon
i guess you can build on that with purity, atk speed and stuff
each of bandit's abilities allow you to build on it, like desperado
brave relic
yeah, and also, if you feel like it's really that dangerous to go around proccing hemmorrahage, just get the serrated shiv
mellow mango
I think hooks is a decent alternative for bandit tbh
blazing lagoon
yeah, and also, if you feel like it's really that dangerous to go around proccin...
building on hemorrhage is mostly useful in short mithrix runs since it's good at refreshing it on a single target
if you think that way then clearly shiv is superior
no way you're gonna melee mithrix every time
brave relic
just don't get hit lmao
blazing lagoon
yes bandit's shotgun is pretty good, but if you're into m1 why don't you play captain

So, how is Focused Assault compared to Blinding Assault? I personally like BA more cause you get three which give you more move and damage overall
But FA gives exposed which I think could be p good for quick CD resets. Although I do have a harder time capitalizing off of it.
brave relic
yes FA giving exposed is good, and it does more direct damage meaning you will get more uses of those proc items except for bleed
but BA allows more mobility, i-frames and the WW cancel
mellow mango
I have found them to be generally quite balanced myself
brave relic
oh and the M1 extension
mellow mango
I would recommend whichever is more fun
brave relic
this thing
neon falcon
this thing
Woah thats sick
mellow mango
M1 extension you can do with both btw
brave relic
oh yeah nvm I though the FA procceed exposed only in the first hit
but the M1 extension prob has a bigger hitbox
pine oxide
M1 extension with FA is amazing
I was doing great damage even when I brought eviscerate
Like ??? how
tepid wolf
Also FA is insane with behemoth
Like expose in general, since behemoth makes everything apply 2 expose stacks
tawny plaza
if i put my wood spirit into an equipment drone, will it still only target me?
No, it will mostly target the drone. Unless it happens to be "aiming" at you at the time of activation.
idk how easy/hard that'd be but it certainly wouldn't be practical since equipment drone would trigger it so often
neon falcon
So stacking Exposed more than once is possible?
tepid wolf
Yes with behemoth
Which is as broken as it sounds when used with slicing winds/focused assault
neon falcon
Heck yes awesome! Im learning so much haha!
brave relic
Merc's sword when he picks up behemoth be like
shy grove
If I started a run pre-update with save mod, will I be able to get the new items?

is the uhhh captain nuke a joke item or sth
or should one amp up on tougher times in the hopes they dont get obliterated

you pretty much just throw it in a boss you are certain it cannot move
or you kite enemies around the radius until the nuke is getting close

how does one manage to kill mithryx with the supply pod then
it has to stnd still somehow

how does one manage to kill mithryx with the supply pod then

is the strat for that "build 150 AP" or
fast oracle
Unless you stack goat hooves like crazy, mythrix is very slow
So whittle him down and then drop a supply pod on him
tepid wolf
Just avoid certain on hits
tired glen
does it count if he slurps up items
tepid wolf
Crowdfunder is nice for this achievement
tired glen
or is that what you mean with orb
tepid wolf
No the blue orbs that rapidly go around the arena after the hits the ground
fast oracle
It's one of his self damage attacks after he takes your items
tired glen
do AP proq on the supply pod
or is it a one in a million whackamole challenge
and i take it has to be the "resupply ammo" pod?
tepid wolf
No just get him super low
fast oracle
Get him super low, bring dios in case you miss both
tepid wolf
Beacons do 2000% damage on landing
tepid wolf
Just like use crowdfunder to shoot invidual bullets
brave relic
Get him super low, bring dios in case you miss both
or he survives with 175 and that has totally not happened to me
tepid wolf
Also do a 6 stage Mithrix
tired glen
you telling me to speedrun?
and does it have to be ammo resupply pod or can it be any actual usefull pod
brave relic
any pod
tired glen
so i got 2 chances
brave relic
yes
tepid wolf
Yes it does good damage
tired glen
then the only challenge is the handling the RSI you get from captain
tepid wolf
But yep crowdfunder is really good for it
tired glen
going in with swarm and command artifact
tepid wolf
Allows you to fire invidual bullets so you don't melt him when he is low

i wish it showed how many loops you've done
well, a good old “divide stages by 5” should suffice your need!
frosty quest
is it just me or is focused assault super underpowered?
with blinding you can do 900 dmg when you hit all three
even if you only hit two you're still dealing 600, plus an escape option
frosty quest
i mean m2 already does that when you have expose
frosty quest
it's nice to put it all in one place i guess, but with blinding you can do 900% plus more immunity frames
dull ingot
i frames are nice but like, you got eviscerate for that
which is long enough to dodge stuff
frosty quest
but what if that's on cooldown
frosty quest
it kinda does when it comes to stuff with aoe and hitscan
the double jump is nice, but straight up invincibility is a little better imo
if it's fun 4 you tho, go right ahead
pallid minnow
exposed reduces cooldowns
pallid minnow
if you hit a lot of enemies with that you can potentially get more I frames
brave relic
you can't do the WW cancel with FA 😔
frosty quest
i think it should be buffed a bit
brave relic
nah, it gives you somewhat of a reason to take eviscerate
pallid minnow
anyways i was actually here to say that im pretty sure that grandparents director cost is 1150 or 10 elder lemurians
brave relic
also gives you in a way a M1 extension without having to perfectly hit your third slash from your M1
which can definitaly help in longer rungs
frosty quest
this is also true
but i feel like the extra mobility and i frames is also really helpful in longer runs
along with the potential for more damage overall
brave relic
the i-frames on BA is too minimum to protect you from all the chaos happening in the longer runs
also considering you are that far you are going to have a good amount of good proc items
like only bleed is not TOTAL damage, meaning FA would be proccing really strong proc items
frosty quest
that's true, but with BA you're going to be proccing more often
brave relic
PPS most of the time don't matter
pallid minnow
who needs to proc more on long runs when by the time you reach a enemy they are allready dead
frosty quest
more enemies can be dead if you proc stuff more often
brave relic
PPS matters for like, bleed only
it's really beneficial to do more damage for the proc items
you could proc like 10 AtGs, but if it's something like from MUL-T's nailgun, that really not much damage
while if proc a singular AtG with FA by example you could prob oneshot like a golem or a beetle guard
pallid minnow
also your not going to be doing the majority of the procing from BA
thats probably evicerates job
and reducing that cooldown really helps
brave relic
yeah, it scales with attack speed
pallid minnow
I still take BA only because of movement and the fact im used to it, but other than that theres no other reason i take it
frosty quest
i'll try FA some more, but I still think BA is a lot better for staying alive
which can become really important when most things start to kill you in a few shots
or getting smacked by a malachite
cause with FA, it's one attack and then you gotta wait 8 seconds
that's also true for the last attack of BA, but with that you have more opportunities to access the situation and get outta there
brave relic
Well yes FA works more like of a Slicing Winds vs Eviscerate
frosty quest
the 8 secs can somwhat be mitigated by evis, but that relies on it being up
brave relic
you trade mobility and survivability for damage
pallid minnow
Grandparents are weird
frosty quest
earlier on at least, FA feels like it's not doing much more damage
brave relic
the 8 secs can somwhat be mitigated by evis, but that relies on it being up
FA procs exposed for each enemy
frosty quest
but you gotta hit them with something else before getting that proc
brave relic
so unless you like, miss FA or hit few enemies, you can rapidly get the exposed procs to get evis at low cooldown
frosty quest
Grandparents are weird
also yes i agree with this they are very strange
pallid minnow
Grandparents have 3 attacks, 2 of them which are not affected wether they are elite or not.
frosty quest
they remind me of risk 1 bosses
pallid minnow
They hurt other enemies
brave relic
I cannot imagine the amount of damage a malachite grandparent sun would do
frosty quest
too scary having nightmares
pallid minnow
Their director cost is 1150 making grandparents the lowest hp to cost ratio besides scavengers
frosty quest
to get a malchite grandparent you would need an immense amount of mountain shrines
or difficulty scaling
pallid minnow
actually no magma worm and overloading worm take that spot for the 2nd lowest and solus control units for third so grandparents would be 4th
Their boss item is a flat hp heal per damage hit which can basically only be obtained at stage 5+ which after that point most enemies do a bunch of damage
and they are large
also grandparents younger than child!
wise bronze
do shield gens still eat your OHP?
brave relic
they don't eat your OSP, only have a weird interaction with it
they are still worth picking up since their give a lot of hp
it's not good relying on OSP since it can easily fail you
pallid minnow
Most enemies dont do too much damage even in the late game
They will deal enough to wipe your hp bar without shield gens tho

mechanic behind this thing is that it creates a save file each time you entering a new stage, you can close the game, and when you're back to the char select, there's load button on bottom right, clicking it will send you into the stage where you've been last time
really helpful if you experiencing a lot of crashes

its ok
