opaque socket

Yeah don't stand still unnless you're bungus engi

#

But yeah you should try a 20 stage run

#

Gets real nice

dull ingot
#

with how it got, i cant imagine a 20 stage run

#

i still cant believe i survived more than 20 minutes in loop 1

well, 9 now but

It only was a combo because Bandit's utility acts as a psuedo jump which is what caused yo to get put into range of the genesis loop.

lapis cosmos
# opaque socket Clover is often said to be the best

honestly I kind of disagree as far as stage 6 final boss runs go, reds like shattering or behemoth are always going to be useful while clover relies on you getting a select few items, that you don't have much time to accumulate

#

for looping runs it is by far the best though

fallow depot
#

a fitting unlock then, you need some dedication to looping

A friend of mine got a very long run, ended up with over 200,000 health

That is an exceptional amount of hp

rapid pier
#

so my mother used a shrine of legend

oblique heart
#

can I have an f please

hybrid vault
#

no because key was buffed

oblique heart
#

how so?

icy phoenix
#

The average reward is miles better

#

Unless you’re going on an 800 stage run the new key is better in almost every way

tulip nimbus
# oblique heart how so?

Now you can only open rusted box if you have key in inventory, and the chances are the exact same as a large box

#

20/80

#

And there is one box per stage

oblique heart
#

for regular play, yeah. For what I was going for, no

hybrid vault
#

rusted key is basically an investment for a green item, or a red item if you're lucky

icy phoenix
#

It’s still trading one white for a green or red

hybrid vault
icy phoenix
#

And if you just care about reds, 6 keys is 2 reds, one from the one red you statistically get by chance, and one from trading in the 5 greens for a red at a cauldron

true, not bad at all. I just wished I knew about the patch notes before grinding for that many

lets admit, some common items are just better than greens/reds

#

and rusted key kinda remained on the same spot

oblique heart
#

the glow is quite nice

icy phoenix
#

The glow is insanely good, same with the focus crystal radius, more visibility is better

#

Bad Artifact Idea: normal items no longer exist in the game, but your level scales at a rate that can keep up with the game's difficulty scaling. Each boss drops a special item that's a goat hoof, a soldier syringe, a cautious slug, all in one

tidal reef
#

Disgusting, but I suppose that was the point

dull ingot
#

Amalgamation items would be very interesting to see

#

Basically what Starskull said, but only 2, instead of three

sonic sinew
#

The point is you play the character as their base form without frills throughout the whole game and staying powerful instead of relying on items to carry you

quasi island
#

man gd2 is refreshing..

weary heron
#

does mithrix triangles hit infinitely high?

#

ur supposed to dodge it right?

#

i really dont like how even the wiki doesnt warn u about how high that attack hits

#

and its not visually obvious either

fallow depot
#

if you're talking the spinny attack thing, yeah they hit really high, though it would probably be harder to see if they made the visuals go up really high
its not a bad attack imo

#

afaik a lot of people would agree that its one of his most fair attacks

#

unless you're talking a different attack

weary heron
#

nah its that one

#

but it feels unfair because it appears to be inconsistent

#

i have not thought about trying to weave if i had multiple hopoos and im on the platform

#

and nowhere near the edge

#

like i guess i was lucky at least 7 mithrix fights before that ?

#

not to mention all those times he does that attack

#

i didnt realise that u HAVE to weave

sonic sinew
#

Okay so the mithrix spinny wheel of doom attack actually has a height limit, if you cling to the ceiling of the arena as loader (or get up there in any other way really) it can't hit you

#

The further away you are from him horizontally though the easier it is to avoid

solar nimbus
#

it also synergises horribly with other artifacts like command and sacrifice which feels like a core design with them

west knoll
#

i got the artifact of command
no rng, all shame

is Focused Assault better than Blinding Assault?

#

what items are best for bandit?

slender sigil
#

scythe predatory syringe on-hits

#

ukulele is pretty much a must if you don't want to get swarmed

atomic mortar
#

Scythe is core item since he has guaranteed crits

slender sigil
#

ok and

#

the aoe of the dagger is nothing to a ukulele

dull ingot
#

Real Engineering

polar anvil
# slender sigil ok and

bandit is basically melee so you're getting swarmed in melee most of the times
therefore dagger very good

#

This was my crazy run from last night

west knoll
#

wow command works on lunar items, feels slightly OP XD

hybrid vault
#

command in general is op

#

it kind of defeats the purpose of ror2

west knoll
#

guess so! i'm only abusing it for achievements

#

you could probably offset ruining the game by doing a meme build though so i appreicate it

hybrid vault
#

abusing command for dumb achievements is fine in my book

#

like, don't abuse it for masteries

#

or things like the purity unlock

#

but for stuff like the bandit alt m2 unlock, use command all you want

west knoll
#

uses command block

#

im bad but i know im bad so that makes it okay

#

or worse

#

ah 20 haemmorage stacks i see yeah that does seem troublesome

#

i kinda like the melee though

limpid drum
#

eh I used it for some masteries 😎 like engie because I hate engie

west knoll
#

limpid drum
#

melee bandit is intended bandit

#

looking back at using the ranged knife I realize there isn’t really a great point unless you’re planning on having capped Crit

tulip nimbus
#

Yea and running rifle. You kinda lose out on how strong he is up close

limpid drum
#

like for how I play bandit it didn’t do shit for me in reality

#

now rifle I am keeping

#

because ranged knife isn’t smart but ranged desperado stacks is

tulip nimbus
#

True

narrow nest
#

i just have one thing to say
Forgive Me Please + Soulbound Catalyst + Ceremonial Dagger + Gestrue of the Drowned is absurdly op

#

throwing in other on kill items like monster tooth necklace and topaz broch can make you literally unkillable

west knoll
#

thats for the suggestion

icy phoenix
#

Forgive_Me_Please + Soulbound_Catalyst is literally all you need

#

And ONE other on kill

west knoll
#

yeah thats probably simple enough

#

especially since thats only one legendary which is like guarenteed early enough

zinc kernel
#

@gd1

west knoll
#

woah, n owonder he added dagger though. they generate daggers whether theyre hitting something or not, huh?

#

free homing shit

#

but yeah those first two items together are crazy already

solar nimbus
#

do people really enjoy playing the game like this

merry karma
#

no

solar nimbus
#

even wihy just command and sacrifice, unless you impose really strict rules on yourself, thy game is trivially easy. just select a powerful build at the start
cant see the appeal ngl

pearl light
#

Okay, I'm very curious about this, so I figured I'd come here and see what everyone thought. What is your opinion on text file editing for Lunar Coins?

tulip nimbus
solar nimbus
# pearl light Okay, I'm very curious about this, so I figured I'd come here and see what every...

kinda of two minds
on the one hand, cheating lunar coins (or challenges) is kind of bad from a moral sense. it cheapens the value of legitimate achievements when it's impossible to prove if they were done legit. i also think it cheats the cheater out of the joy of unlocking and discovering content.
lunar items are also supposed to be viable. with the reroll and infinite coins, your can now just select any lunar build your choose; and with the decisive power of well-chosen blues, that's a pretty obvious unfair advantage

on the other hand
play the game how you like! if you think lunar coins are a stupid mechanic that should go and lunars should be free, then i kinda think you have a right to do that. grinding coins is a chore if you enjoy that selective playstyle, so why not cheat them in to save time?

dull ingot
solar nimbus
#

if my first exposure to the game was command and sacrifice id be not interested in playing it normally or for very long (but that's very just me)
if i were to do that id make them find the artifacts themselves before we use them again :p

dull ingot
#

oops sorry for the ping

solar nimbus
#

nah i need it for this server since it's muted

west knoll
#

i udnerstand command more than the other ones, because you coudl argue it removes the rng and you might eventually get rng and beat a run anyway or maybe you want to do a meme build

solar nimbus
#

meme build id say is weird restrictions
and if you remove the rng, you win every time unless you're really bad. hands down.
if i was playing gungeon and could pick gun/passive pickups, id win every time

#

the rng is the point. you can play whatever hand the game gives you and that's the fun

zinc kernel
#

you know it's a bad day when gd2 gets toxic

dull ingot
#

lol

sonic sinew
#

Huntress is like reverse commando, instead of having a good M1 for procs and whatnot, the rest of her kit is fantastic but the cooldowns are too long and her M1 sucks

worldly sandal
#

I got risk of rain 2 a little while after watching fokoes video about it.

And i mostly used commando because he was a very simple charatcher. And i sorta used huntress but didn't like her style.

#

And then i started useing huntress more

#

And she really grew on me.

#

Also it took me forever to realize what m2 does. And when i did another part of my brain opened

|| I'm surprised it's not super obvious that there's a second "secret character". Throughout the past two months, there've been multiple feedback suggestions relating to the Heretic, even uncensored and straight up saying Heretic instead of secret character or something similar. The thing is, I know not everyone goes into feedback ideas, but then there's also youtube, twitch, etc. that are all computer gamers, so they all have the update. On top of that, I made a google form a while ago basically asking who people's mains are and I added the heretic and, like, 70% of the votes for hereitc where basically "I don't know this character" which blows my mind.|| Anyways, rant over

am I a 🇵ussy for wanting to do masteries by obliteration and not mithrix?

sturdy wave
#

yes but you're valid fuck mithrix

limpid drum
#

kinda yes kinda no

#

Mithrix is a lot more fun once you learn him

#

but some scavengers are just awful and if you are okay fighting them that’s worth some merit

sturdy wave
#

yeah, but it's 10x harder to beat mithrix as a melee character

dull ingot
#

I seriously feel like the jump from stage 5 monsters to lunar chimera is huge. at least during runs where I don't cheese command swarm sacrifice

granite shard
#

if youre not too slow scavs wont show up until stage 9 so you can just dodge them entirely

limpid drum
quartz saffron
#

if you stick around long enough playing the game you'll find that monsoon isn't that difficult, and that killing mithrix won't be a problem

sturdy wave
#

yeah once you learn him it's better but still I get a minor lag spike and I'm ded

#

I play on a potato

limpid drum
#

this is getting a little into my personal views but mithrix kinda isn’t designed around you not having some decent mobility
the entire moon isnt designed around it which I think kinda sucks

dull ingot
#

monsoon really doesn't feel (too) difficult anymore. I get to stage 4 with every character and to the moon with commando and mul-t

granite shard
#

mithrix just fucks you up without mobility
he is faster than you and even huntress will struggle to dodge the dashes forever

limpid drum
#

it’s why a lot of new players wanna just give up on mith

granite shard
#

you spend a lot of time running and it drags the fight out

sturdy wave
#

monsoon isn't too hard imo it is really just mithrix is overwhelming

limpid drum
#

Yeah he is

granite shard
#

if youre used to him he's okay, i can beat him most of the time it's just not fun stage 6
i'd usually loop, i think it's easier

limpid drum
#

And then they allowed him to be cheesed with the terrain 😔

dull ingot
#

but at least it's a well designed boss battle... right?

sturdy wave
#

and also the game is slighted against melee characters in my opinion, because a lot of stuff (like wisps) you can't reach, it's harder as a melee character in general

limpid drum

u can separately try unlocking artifact of command and sacrifice, and then do both on drizzle. These are the artifacts for the cheesiest runs. As long as you reach stage 20 youre bound to get an overloading worm somewhere along the way. I personally got it at stage 15 on sky meadow, and it was exactly the environment i expected it to be in.

#

also, a royal capacitor with a few fuel cells and some crowbars can really save a run when youre falling behind

#

You should also know that when you stack fire/ice bands they can be activated with phase round if it passes through 1 enemy and hits one behind it

#

10 daggers can also go a long way on commando with his fast firerate, as eventually you'd be stacking 100 bleed procs on things in a matter of a few seconds

Took me like 7 tries to hit it

raven lichen

yea nade has a bit of a steep curve

I always encourage people to try it tho, because even just tossing it at the ground in a group is really good aoe, it has solid band procs if you can nail it, and suppressive is now kinda actively worse than shooting m1 hahaha
so yea

cyan stag
#

grenade has pretty defined situations for when you use them. But the more you practice the more you'll recognize these situations and quickly lob them without losing any time

#

Obviously the most bright examples when you cant use it is when something is right infront of you, or when something is in the air (unless something is situationally next to a wall or a slope)

#

Eventually you'll get into a habit of looking straight down to lob a short distance grenade into whats 10-15 meters infront of you

#

Or for example how you can aim at one of stone titan's legs so that the grenade lands infront of him instead of bouncing away inbetween his legs

like ability to kick people from your lobby or start a votekick

oh

the "quickplay" is definitely is a super weak spot

almost unplayable honestly

gameplay wise, i think some alt character abilities are too difficult to unlock considering the character becomes much more enjoyable with them

and boring without

high torrent
#

we won't point fingers at you, slicing winds

#

also phase blast and ballista, but at least that stuff is achievable with command if you're not really into godrunning

cyan stag
#

also, im kind of torn with how 'black and white' dodging currently is in the game. because youre either dodging everything with no effort or u get your face torn off in 2-3 hits with seemingly no chance to live

#

for instance, sometimes just jumping over and over and running in 1 direction will make you completely safe from lemurians and contraptions

#

because i think bots are only capable of seeing ur trajectory in straight lines, and jumping is an arc, i.e. an infinite amount of lines

#

but if u do make them able to hit you, the game could become unplayable to all but the sweatiest high concentration people

high torrent
#

very true, damage scaling is absurd

#

I like it much more in ror1, but that's the only strong feature of balancig in that game

cyan stag
#

like imagine if u couldnt just run in 1 direction to dodge Lemurian fireballs, but actually had to switch directions each time they shoot

ik im late but running in a clockwise circle will defeat almost any monster in the game

Sometimes its a close circle (titans), sometimes it's a whatever circle (contraps), sometimes a big circle (big lizzy), but the result is the same

if you can figure out the correct circle to run in (since you cant loop everything at once) then you become almost unkillable

im wondering what would happen if suppressive fire became a channeled skill with no fixed duration

because it's technically lower DPS but has a stun maybe it would be better if you can just suppress a crowd for a time

its not even that bad i just think it would be a cool change

anyone else go onto abandonded aqueduct
pop a single mountain shrine on monsoon
then you get like a couple of bosses; regular stuff

like every single time i pop an mountain shrine

#

an elite beetleguard appears out of fucking nowhere

granite shard
#

the game enjoys saving up credits specifically to make you die in boss fights
there's no specific mechanic for it but it happens relatively often

silk hearth
#

feels like there's specific ambush spots on the map where the director will spawn a bunch of enemies
not go on them and then hit the teleporter and all hell breaks loose

granite shard
#

if it helps: the director doesnt care about location at all, it just spawns enemies near you

silk hearth
#

huh

#

so it is just saving up credits, then getting more from mountain shrine and just throwing them all out

#

when tele activates

cyan stag
granite shard
#

but since sometimes it waits a long time to spawn things (like when saving up for elite monsters) it can feel like an ambush

granite shard

i think it feels kind of cool that it saves up and ambushes
it just feels wild when on tele it realizes 'oh fuck guess i have to spend all of these credits, SIGH, -spawns 5000 elites-'

not sure if its like a delay mechanic or the director is just chaotic

yeah i assume if it undershoots on the boss it's just like 'well this is spare, die time'

Highly reccomend spider mines and thermal harpoons. Run away and only use those because your m1 is jank and while its decent damage, its hard to hit without practice, charges up entirely too long, and engie is a squishy boy with no mobility. So ring around the rosie if you must

dull ingot

how would you guys feel about Artificer getting a different debuff for her special that stacks damage per debuff and also increases the damage per debuff (so exponentially)

something like (50+25x)x, which would yield a 3,575% base damage per second at max, or
1,788% base per tick

Her problem is no proc not no damage

#

Seems kind of redundant

modern ether
#

i was inspired by the tierlist on gd1 what does gd2 think of my clearly correct and based opinions? i also clearly value movement pretty high 😎

keen onyx
#

Wow those bottom tiers are some hot takes. Stun grenade is surprisingly useful, and bandolier isn't flashy but its great to have. The worst offenders are probably rachis and effigy though. Rachis is amazing on engie, especially if you get multiple. And effigy is good early as a sort of bonus against whatever boss you fight, assuming non melee

modern ether
#

my issue with stun grenade is that most characters already have a method of stunning enemies and it also stacks pretty poorly by itself
most of the time when i get bandolier i end up not picking up the ammo box thing because its out of the way and cooldowns arent overly long, it is super useful for melee characters (or if you happen to randomly wander through dead enemies) i will admit
ive never really used rachis or effigy but id still keep rachis in the same tier as bungus for similar reasons

keen onyx
#

Fair, but honestly i feel you rated bungus too harshly, especially since the buff

modern ether
#

yeah ill be honest, some items i got a little lazy with, i did also mean to say that the items on the borders of tiers are basically in the other tier tbh, so id say bungus is c/d tier imo

with quail and stompers, if you sprint jump into a slope, you go crazy high (i guess its trimping?) so the stompers do loads of damage as you are literally in the skybox

oh yeah thats true, i wont deny that for movement headstompers are pretty annoying so i find myself spamming the stomp off cooldown lol

keen onyx
#

I dislike headstompers because while it CAN be huge damage, its so tedious to set up unless you have enough movement speed anyways. And by then you probably have better alternatives. Its a weird item that doesn't deserve to be a red, but is too good to be a green

full magnet
#

I don't think they need to change anything, it's a bad red and that's fine

keen onyx
#

Its also good mobility early, but later on its more tedious than anything else. Other reds that don't deserve red but are too good for green are desk plant, wake of vultures, alien head, and happiest mask

full magnet
#

Most reds are good, it's there to nerf the good ones

#

Having 5 bad reds isn't a big deal

silk hearth
#

i geniunely hate the headstompers and if i get a run with them i will end it

keen onyx
#

True, but with the amount of bad reds thats kind of an issue.

And it is when theres only 17 ingame, and one being a character exclusive. Especially when some(frost relic, nukhanas hardlight, soulbound) are situational. If you don't benefit from equipment charge then soulbound is decorational. If you can't get in close, frost relic is just a forced fov swap, if your shift isn't great then hardlight is just meh. Some are amazing, others are mediocre. But if half of them are bad or only good on certain characters then it makes getting good ones harder. Especially when like alien head, it serves an otherwise nearly impossible service and reduces cooldown. Theres only 4 items ingame that do that for abilities. Head, purity, brainstalks, and bandolier

#

2 reds, a lunar, and a green you have to go out of your way to get the most out of.

my main problem with the headstompers is more or less they're distracting as hell for me
like i can't take my mind off the fact 'hey if you jump and then press E you will do alot of damage'
and that distracts my entire game and completely throws it off for me

#

i'd like it alot more if the damage effect activated automatically
like whenever you landed

hey anybody wanna play some risk of rain 2?

check the lfg channels

I hope the second final boss in the first expansion is Providence

#

What if you could go back in time and play part of the first game but in risk of rain 2

final shadow
#

Instead of doing that, the DLC could be something equally as epic and lore-related, without living in the shadow of the previous game

Spleen is just broken

if it multiplied all your stat increases like tonic does it would be really good

#

but now it gives you +0.1 regen

regardlelss of how much you have

onyx hearth
#

Yeah, but imagine it compared to a normal pearl

lapis cosmos
#

irradiant right now is basically just crit glasses, bison steak, goat hoof, and syringe but worse versions of them

#

which isn't bad but like, super overrated

onyx hearth
#

Yeah about, but technically it only costs lunar founds
Which are free

lapis cosmos

it's still rare

just not absurdly rare

I wouldn’t say no, but I would also prefer almost any other boss item

I really like REX but he seems to he outdone by most other characters.

onyx hearth
#

They does lots of damage, and are good enough at crowd control

#

However

#

Their health fluctuates too much for my liking and he never has osp

#

osp sux

onyx hearth
#

Yeah, but like being at less than 50% when spamming right click can kill you

icy phoenix
onyx hearth
#

Oh yeah

#

But the problem with robot abilities is garbage

#

They do like 0 damage compared to health one and are not as cool

icy phoenix
#

IDK man, M1 seems pretty good

tall quarry
#

Rex seems to be very good if you can time your m2 and keep an eye on your health

quiet cobalt
#

The point of Rex is to be powerful, but you need to balance health to use him properly. The robot abilities are weaker, but almost eliminate the health costs

tall quarry
#

I love playing rex, but again, you need to keep an eye on your health and know when to stop using m2 and when to use his special

#

If played correctly, rex is a survivor with incredible survivability, damage and aoe

#

He also makes runs that have too much healing to have plenty of damage, and vice versa

slow condor
#

this run was ok

balmy vault
#

also, the plant special makes you basically able to heal from anything in seconds if you can root a swarm of enemies

balmy vault
slow condor
#

can't tell if youre being sarcastic or not

balmy vault
#

i am

slow condor
#

yeah it was really hard

balmy vault
#

im doing a merc run rn

#

i always get killed by those dunestriders

slow condor
#

pain with no range

balmy vault
#

yeah

#

if i go close i die, if i back up the thing heals to full health

#

its really annoying

slow condor
#

i mean you probably can dash out quickly
shift out and r back

balmy vault
#

fair

#

but it doesnt do enough damage to be effective

#

also r will prioritize other enemies too

#

so half the time i end up attacking some beetle guard

tulip nimbus
#

Oh you use eviscerate?

balmy vault
#

i dont have slicing winds

tulip nimbus
#

I see

balmy vault
#

wish i did

tulip nimbus
#

Yea sw is much better

balmy vault
#

but i cant beat a prismatic trial, let alone do it without damage

tulip nimbus
#

If you subscribe to Cabbage on youtube he does a tutorial for every seed

#

On how to get ethereal

balmy vault
#

oh cool

gd2 is where all merc mains meet apparently

#

mithrix without looping feels way too tanky

tulip nimbus
#

Yea and you're more at the mercy of bad rng as opposed to if you loop

#

Trying to fight him and you didn't get any jumps or little movement speed is aids

dull ingot
#

having the movement but only doing peanut damage is also abysmal

balmy vault
#

welp goodbye run

balmy vault

yeah

dunestriders are such fun enemies

im just trying to get the achievement "The Calm"

i always get ended on the fourth stage though

Chaos, swarms, sacrifice might be able to help

I haven’t been able to get the calm either, so don’t take my words for facts

# balmy vault im just trying to get the achievement "The Calm"

A) You need to find ways to negate the downsides of the difficulty. The best way I can think of is

  • Lots of regen items
  • Shield and Barrier (Transcendence is a maybe if you know how to use it)
  • AoE items, like Ukulele, Ceremonial Daggers, Behemoth, etc.
  • Bleed is really going to carry you, if you use a character that's good with it

B) Pick a character you're comfortable with, but also one that you know you'll do well with.
This is completely up to choice, and really doesn't dictate much other than what you know you'll do well with

C) have fun
It's not worth the item to get mad and quit the game because you can't beat a challenge. Just relax and take it easy, and you'll do great :)

sw > evis
I'd say whirlwind over rt, but rt is fine

#

utility is whatever

onyx hearth
#

Blinding assault can be fun and can go farther, as well as not stealing bands.

blazing lagoon
#

I was thinking ba should be paired with ww for cancel, and pair that with SW for more dps

#

And on the other hand evis should be paired with fa for expose proc

#

fa doesn't need ww bc it can't be canceled with right click

onyx hearth
#

Band steal can be sad if you have royal capacitator

blazing lagoon
#

uppercut and fa both steal bands

dull ingot

#

Isnt merc skills super player subjective?

#

They all feel on par in power

#

Just different playstyles

blazing lagoon
remote relic
#

Hm, i literally just kinda switch them around at random, they all work to me

blazing lagoon
onyx hearth
#

Both are good, but that’s opinion

merry karma
#

oh that discord icon actually looks pretty nice

dull ingot
blazing lagoon
#

pair it with focused assault's expose you can use evis more frequently

tepid wolf
#

For Mithrix winds being ranged is actually pretty useful

#

So you can FA dash through Mithrix and then throw slicind winds at him

tulip nimbus
#

Stopping by to say if you are good with ba and sw you will rarely get hit anyways so just get good, and also sw with ba has almost 3x the dps of evis with ba

quasi island
#

full magnet
#

Either evis + forced assault or slicing + blinding assault, no rising thunder only whirlwind

full magnet
tepid wolf
#

Or you can just not be close in the first place

full magnet
#

Yeah you can play him like a ranged character, throw out sw every few seconds and do nothing, or you can rush into a group of mobs and stay engaged

#

It all depends on playstyle

blazing lagoon
#

you don't really want to play mercenary as a ranged character, you still need other abilities to trigger the expose procced by slicing winds

full magnet
#

Honestly I think exposed is kinda weird

#

I like the extra damage but the 1 sec cooldown reduction is way too overhyped imo

dull ingot
#

good luck :))

blazing lagoon
#

either you try hard and grind and eventually get that win or you can just use artifacts happiesttroll

high torrent
#

mfw when u use winds exclusively ranged, off cooldown, without aiming, top tier Merc gameplay, much dps, very engagement

balmy vault
#

feels invalid imo

blazing lagoon
#

i usually don't play with artifacts either, except for some unlocks happiesttroll

balmy vault
#

tri tip or teddy bear

blazing lagoon
#

usually bleed if you're early game

#

depends on your character though, if you play loader then probably not

balmy vault
#

ok

#

im playing rex

slender sigil
#

if rex then teddy

blazing lagoon
#

probably tougher times then

slender sigil
#

tri tip is good but not nearly as brainless as it was before

blazing lagoon
#

it can also negate your health cost

#

tri tip is still very good if you play commando/captain

#

or nailgun mul t
