Probably better than wisp jar
limpid drum
idk why I keep seeing new gas is better than wisp
it’s great for wisps and death mark now yes
but wisp is still insane, and I’ve only found it launching enemies as a benefit since they take fall damage or get sent into another surface so hard they shatter. of which the latter is more common for me
tired axle
idk why I keep seeing new gas is better than wisp
gas scales range better, has no damage falloff at the edge of it's range, and is one tier lower than wisp
basically, wisp is 350% (+280%) damage while within 50% of it's radius, but only 87.5% (+70%) while on the outer half of it's radius
limpid drum
oh whoa whoa wait
tired axle
gasoline is always 300% (+75%)
tired axle
oh whoa whoa wait
yeah, it deals 1/4 of it's damage when going past half the range
tired axle
it's sweetspot falloff, which is actually used for most explosions in this game, like mando's nades, mult's scrap launcher, or preon accumulator
all of them deal 75% less damage after hitting 50% of their range
i still think it should be lowered to -50% damage tbh

slender sigil
in the grand scheme of things you should keep sprinting and dodging obviously, and aiming to spend 4-7 minutes on your first few stages
other than that generally there's not anything in specific that can help you
icy grove
did the game get harder with the last updates btw? i played on switch and remember being able to get everones skin easy

They made ai changes, so yes. Lesser wisps are even more crazy accurate now even
Having used mods to actually play as a lesser wisp, i don't see how they do it frankly.

@icy grove another tip for monsoon, try to move pretty quickly to keep up with scaling. I would say to try to start the tp every 3 minutes. It’s ok if you don’t get all the loot. U got this bro!
(But do grab SOME loot from each stage, just try not to sit and farm fir 7 minutes basically)
tired axle
I'm too tired for this, @raven lichen
raven lichen
same tbh haha, but generally 3 minutes is too fast. you dont want to skip loot since it scales you up to actually beat the timer, as opposed to growing slower but ramping up difficulty via the stage multiplier
id actually recommend farming for like 6-8 minutes if theres loot to pick up still, longer on stages like sky meadows if you dont have a lot of movement.
keen onyx
The people who say to speedrun stages are kinda wack. Like you do just as well or better if you grab more than 3 items, and unless someone really wastes time its not a huge deal
fallow depot
what if you just try and speedrun tp but grab more loot after so you can leave fasterish?
keen onyx
Frankly people that rush the tp almost as soon as we spawn in on mp games are the reason i despise monsoon, among others. Because they think they know how it's supposed to be, and ignore the other people saying "hey, maybe we aren't ready for dunestriders because we have no good items, because you rushed us?"
That's good in theory, but in practice the power the items give almost always means you should grab them first. Especially on monsoon when things are tanky. Even one tri tip or a stickybomb saves more time than the speedrunning woulfld
raven lichen
the goal is to get as much power per stage as possible, as quickly as possible
this way you make the most of the time scaling and stage scaling
so if you can open chests faster thats great, but skipping them means not optimizing for the stage difficulty spikes
fallow depot
i find early game killing enemies for money is... hard to find them. it feels like a big waste of time trying to farm money for chests before tp
merry karma
you get less gold from tp event
keen onyx
Yes. Balance power and time. People just seem to forget that you need items for power and screwing over the whole team in the process
fallow depot
you get less gold from tp event
but ultimately more easy enemy kills
raven lichen
the director spawns more but worth less, in the end its less gold per min
keen onyx
My general go to for stage one is everyone gets 2 items, and then its tp. Thats reasonable and means we can grab remaining stuff on the way out
raven lichen
also killing enemies feels boring but farming while ahead is how you consistently win. if enemies arent spawning fast enough, it means you are stronger then the director, killing what it spawns before it saves enough to spawn more
keen onyx
But it also means we don't have like 3 minute boss fights because josegonzoles2004 hit the tp before 40 gold is obtained
fallow depot
grab like 3 chests, do tp, grab some more that you can see or have seen, leave
raven lichen
it can be more boring for experienced players, but it is optimal for newer players especially
fallow depot
though some characters definitely need items early on more than others, cant really compare stage 1 commando and loader
keen onyx
Having over 400 total hours, I'd say its honestly best to take a tp boss when you feel confident in solo play. In multiplayer, its when the majority of the team agrees. However if a player is falling behind for gods sakes HELP THEM
fallow depot
falling behind in mp is misery
and sometimes even trying to throw every item at that person fails
raven lichen
MP is tough
only 50% more stuff spawns per player and not all of it will necessarily be items too
keen onyx
If you lose a single player due to them not being able to live through spawning, then everyone else in the party is at fault. Everyone. If they are new? Throw more items at them and make do. If they afk thats one thing, but you can't turn that around without stupid rng
Like people feeding you reds and lunars type spike in the bazaar
raven lichen
so you end up with every player individually weaker but the team overall stronger
fallow depot
my one genuine complaint in ror2 is how dying in multiplayer sets you back so much, especially after like 2 stages of dumb deaths or whatever
raven lichen
dying basically means run is over
tho
tbf
thats the same as solo haha

I like playing with itemsharesuite because of those damnable loot goblins, and keeping things fair. Now its a skill based game, not whatever greedy captain/huntress/merc or whatever gets the most with their item hoover

sharesuit was neat but in my experience despite their best efforts the game just felt waaaay easier

Idk. Mp is fun and its own experience, but people are just really awful sometimes
raven lichen
you get so much more item value you can kind ajust do whatever most of the time
fallow depot
i never play mp with randoms, and never without vc
keen onyx
Sharesuite is absolutely game breaking yes. I use it with friends, but not usually with randos unless its kinda necessary
raven lichen
tbh
i just prefer the game solo... more consistent
keen onyx
Oh i play with randos, but in vc here. And i only stick with people that work together.
If theres no vc, it won't work.
fallow depot
this game is very fun in multiplayer i say
2 player is my fav multiplayer amount, 4 is too much
keen onyx
Oh its a blast when people work together. And some nasty stuff exists
Tbh I'd like to play a game with you sometime jacob
raven lichen
it is fun but i find it can just as easily feel sad, like you dont get as many item and are weaker so you get less item and the other players skyrocket and you feel like dead weight as soon as someone is really strong
or you are really strong and feel bad your mates are behind
or you feel bad when they take an item that would synergize well with you, but likewise feel bad passing an item you like because its better on them etc
definitely personal preference and i like playing like 2-3p with people i know sometimes
but i do enjoy solo more personally
keen onyx
Its all about consistently making snap decisions, and its both its best feature and its worst
raven lichen
yea
fallow depot
i feel like late game does just devolve into less hard decisions though, usually just “okay whos stacking bands?”
raven lichen
late game in ror2 kinda dont really exist tho aha
once you win the arms race, youve won the arms race
keen onyx
Yeah, after a certain point its basically just "i don't care for this, someone else can have"
But until then i love the idea of dynamically deciding who gets what item and building not only yourself, but your team
fallow depot
tis fun
keen onyx
Agree
fallow depot
wish it was an option you could turn off of uh auto picking up items when walking on them, would be helpful for not yoinking something you dont need
keen onyx
Theres benefits and downsides to that. Sometimes you just can't stop to press e
fallow depot
its like sometimes i have like 7 goat hoofs and my friend has 1 energy drink and i find another and just accidentally pick it up because brain not work or i just stood where it would be
or picking up a proc item with purity
scratch that ive never experienced that, not a purity fan on any character
keen onyx
Purity to me is like... its good, but the downside is SO HUGE for no reason. Yeah its powerful but unless its idk, loader? Not usually worth it
fallow depot
proc item fun
keen onyx
The irony is a lot of the lunars contradict each other
fallow depot
me want flashy things, purity make game not flash

If you took them all, save whatever equipment you left behind, you'd probably be the most useless member of your team by a landslide
One of every item lunar, and one equipment.

defiant gouge is my fav lunar item since spinel isnt an item
keen onyx
Tonic? Steadily worse over time. Hellfire? Social distancing enforced and even worse healing. Meteor? Everyone hates you. The statue? Melee as a whole despises you inconvenienced placements
raven lichen
purity is nice on like acrid because DoTs dont work for procs anyways
but otherwise yea negative luck really hurts dps with proc chains
keen onyx
Gouge is fun but good god, it is way stronger now. Same with rachis
fallow depot
even on acrid not a huge fan of it, backup mags or hoping for brainstalks is good enough for me
oh yeah rachis
keen onyx
I LOVE rachis, but now having like 4 on an engie covers half the map and I'm like "what the-"
dull ingot
kek
fallow depot
rachis great
keen onyx
Because I'm used to needing about 20 for that
raven lichen
its just so much power for blight
turns 560% every 2s into 560% every 0.5s, 4x more damage output from m2 alone
raven lichen
betterwith bite too, and offers regenerative
fallow depot
you ever played with rachis, effigy drone, and meteorite drone? fun game of many circles

bloom is solid at 1 but theres no reason to take more 😔

Its such a neat item too, but unless pool theres only one option to fix it. Full shields via transcendence or the new aspect

what if corpsebloom didn't stack?
like what if it was +100% (+100%) and then -90% with no stack?
that's already an extreme gimp, while still being decently ok, plus it scales well
fallow depot
but am not a big shield fan
keen onyx
God i love the design of lunars in general
raven lichen
helfire is very powerful
fallow depot
i love spinel tonic and otherwise i dont use lunars that often. unless with friends
i open lunar pods, i dont buy much from newt
keen onyx
Hellfire is a straight up amazing item, but its got its issues sometimes. It feels like a bit too powerful a lunar
fallow depot
helfire is too good to be real
keen onyx
I'd say that rachis and gouge are like the perfect bal of risk/reward
fallow depot
rachis is peak example of a lunar
raven lichen
yea its downsides are borderline negligible and its so much damage...
plus RAP or planula nullify it, and razorwire just breaks the game
keen onyx
Also shield gens suck??? Why doesn't it stack based off of total health, instead of actual health
raven lichen
also i dont like gouge, seems like almost always just bad
raven lichen
Also shield gens suck??? Why doesn't it stack based off of total health, instead...
what does this mean?
fallow depot
gouge funny when bad luck shrine, could make grinding on stage 4 easier too
raven lichen
usually gouge is like
you dont need the cash, or if you do the enemies spawned are way too big and risky. esp since gold scaling breaks on like s3 or s4
keen onyx
Shield gens give their % based off of health. Not total health, actual health, the green(or red) stuff. So it completely fails to work with trancendence at all
raven lichen
in multiplayer its just a throw, since the enemy hp scales with player count too
raven lichen
Shield gens give their % based off of health. Not total health, actual health, t...
this is not true, it works off of hp before trance applies so it gives 8% hp as shield and then trance gives 1.5x hp as shield, and sets hp to 1 after
fallow depot
but its really funny seeing “you have summoned (boss) to fight”
keen onyx
Oh gouge is good early, and lategame its moreso "everything dies, what can we spawn that won't die instantly."
1001 scavs have come to play
fallow depot
it also... has a nice model. like, looking at the lunars on display, gouge is beautiful
i am making the silliest defenses because it is a silly item
raven lichen
i feel like an item that is either unnecessary or actively dangerous is like
sus haha
like gouge kinda has no upside most of the time
fallow depot
true probably
keen onyx
They all kinda do tbh. I just wish more of them were viable in more situations. I mean fr when are you going to see trancendence and want it for the most part?
raven lichen
its fun late game but idk
i feel like it could be better
fallow depot
when u have no heal ig
raven lichen
also trance is great on tank builds cause big health up, and lets you toss healing for damage. plus no fall damage i guess
its a lot of hp and stacks basically for free so
fallow depot
what if gouge gave you an item when you defeated all the enemies it spawned? too op, maybe...
hard to make good without too good
raven lichen
yea then it would kinda be win more
fallow depot
the downside isnt much so the upside being more good would be op
keen onyx
Gouge kinda already wins tbh, its meant to be on one person in mp and boosts gold via spawns if needed
raven lichen
i think they already made the enemies less weak, but part of the problem is that combat shrines in general are a sus concept rn so an item that makes every shrine combat is weird
like in MP the enemies are so absolutely massiv ethey jsut arent worth the time to kill
keen onyx
Combat shrine is stonks
raven lichen
and in solo its only relevant on s2 or s3, then you dont need the money
and even then, you dont really save time since you need to kill giant enemies that might just one shot you, which is sus aha
I think recently they toned it down so perhaps its less bad
but idk aha, just seems like its unnecessary. brittle crown handles income a bit better but only works on good proc rate chars
fallow depot
brittle crown rex am i right
keen onyx
So, time to shake things up. What's an item a lot of people consider bad or not worth much, but you swear by?

crowbar, apparently

squid is much more usable now but i feel like lepton still suffers from the same issues. its fair healing but completely out of your control, so its random if it even does anything at all, and on top of that doesnt do anything for the majority of the time you play
its good for void

squid has like 20 base damage or something crazy and fires >1 shot/sec base

squid really do be dealing like a lot of damage over its lifespan. biggest issue is getting hit making it die too fast but since it deals so much more up front now its kind anice ambient dps

raven lichen
its better then fireworks now probably?
unless there are no enemies in LoS cause homing
limpid drum
squid really do be dealing like a lot of damage over its lifespan. biggest issue...
That and having enemies to kill too
but usually it gets to put in some work

raven lichen
how do you open something you dont see aha
do you run around holding E?

fire works. thats a statement
limpid drum
I think he means enemies

points at role
Sprint and hold 2 buttons. Blink, ballista at the poor boss, rinse, repeat.
limpid drum
which squid can also help with but it can’t hit stuff across the map
but no one needs to hit things across the map anyways
Still want ways to make those items with specific conditions work on both final bosses/run end situations
keen onyx
Imagine if warbanner was buffed. Its already a really nice item to stack across a team, but give it a few more numbers? Nice
limpid drum
Mithrix at least has the rest of the moon and a phase 2 for my boy warbanner
Scav has nothin
fallow depot
imagine a lunar item warbanner that buffs you but enables friendly fire / chaos in that zone
just a passing thought anyways i think a neat buff would be if it weakened enemies by an extremely small amount
fallow depot
mercurial banner
limpid drum
My favorite item
keen onyx
Hot idea
fallow depot
opinions on medkit? mine is that its epic
raven lichen
medkit is absolutely crazy early game. less good late game, but its so strong early it almost wins runs from s1 by letting you scale so much more easily
20 flat healing is a pretty big % of most survivors at low levels, and early on enemy density is low enough you almost always get the heal off
fallow depot
ever since 1.0 medkit has been a very nice item imo, one of the best whites
raven lichen
yea its really nice now
keen onyx
The +5% is huge as well. Meaning it STACKS, it can carry you as far as mithrix if you get shafted and only get a few medkits purely because even 3 of them is 15% of your health plus a small bonus
hate it
keen onyx
Meat is still better than it was tbh
limpid drum
but it remains ugly
fallow depot
i never thought of meat as good and still dont
keen onyx
True, but hey. At least now it has an undeniably useful effect when stacked instead of idk... literally any other healing item being better in every way?
Oh it still kinda stinky, but now its not an immediate scrap
fallow depot
i would make meat unrelated to health
keen onyx
Pre 1.0 even if it was my only healing item, i scrapped it because literally any other white would be more impactful to the run. Thats incredibly sad, but true
fallow depot
acrid meat s+++ tier yeah
keen onyx
Yeah other than acrid, but like even then i was tempted
fallow depot
we have like 4 other white healing items + topaz, why do we need another health related whitem?
limpid drum
Hey I like max HP just not meat’s version 😎
shield gen gaming 👍
Infusion gaming 👍 would like a few more max HP items
fallow depot
make it like monster tooth but like increase your attack speed when you pick up chubks of meat idk
keen onyx
Idk man, and healing is a very broad term tbh. Topaz and meat aren't healing, shield isn't healing
limpid drum
and also yes we need more items that use healing offensively
keen onyx
Reminder that pre 1.0 meat was literally worse slug in every way
fallow depot
slug is my fren
limpid drum
after playing paladin I’m really hyped for items that boost your offensive power based on your healing/defensive capabilities

They are rare, but do exist. I think outside of mods and confirmed stages, i have seen... 5 total? The director really has to go into debt for them

they are considered a "rare" spawn and therefore use a completely different set of credits to spawn than normal chests
instead they share a pool with golden shrines, cloaked chests, and lunar pods
they also are blocked from spawning before stage 4

Thats quite interesting. Thanks for sharing!

How hard is it to go on a monsoon god run?
modern ether
depends on the survivor i guess, but mostly skill and adapting to the items the game offers
i mainly find that if im efficient with gathering items and dont do dumb things like take my hands off the keyboard when there are 3 elite brass contraptions nearby, im generally fine for getting a god run
spiral gorge
I know what I'm doing this weekend
full gale
It can be really hard because one tiny mistake often leads to death
Survivor choice makes it easier or harder obviously
spiral gorge
I'm very hard headed and I wont give up
full gale
For the first 10ish stages you need to be hyper focused and take the best possible items
Find a balance between rushing and looting because of you full clear and have bad items you won't go far
If you can full clear in 5-6 minutes that's great
modern ether
yeah from about stage 5 onwards there are so many enemies which will oneshot you, so its best to focus on dodging their attacks over everything else, as dying guarantees a run to end while taking too long still has a slight chance to survive lol
full gale
You need to somehow multitask dodging and shooting perfectly
Be aware of your enemies' spawns, where they move, who's about to attack, who's close, who's far, who's a major threat, who you can take a hit from and be fine, who to prioritize
keen onyx
Its usually best to practice god runs on characters that allow for you to focus more on one thing, and learn it. Then incorporate the other skillset.
I like to reccomend huntress for people who want to practice things like reactionary dodging and general map awareness since she doesn't require aim, and can take care of groups with a button. So you can blink around the map, learn where things are generally and focus on surviving. The graduate to someone else you feel comfortable with and do the same thing, but now with more focus on amining and the like on top of everything else
However, if you want to skip the whole easing in thing, 100% pick the character you intend to god run consistently with
spiral gorge
Well I'm doing a monsoon run right now trying to unlock captains skin
keen onyx
There is no point practicing with commando for instance if you plan to do merc, or acrid.
For captain? Double hacking, Don't take diablo strike. Hack groups of chests or chance shrines when you can. He's built to loot goblin, so loot goblin(assuming singleplayer)
full gale
Practicing on huntress is a really good tip, however make sure to unlock triple blink beforehand
keen onyx
Focus your strikes on groups or large enemies, spam shotgun at large bosses and stuff, but focus for longer ranges
full gale
Triple blink is the skill that truly allows you to train your reflexes and dodging skills
keen onyx
Yeah unfortunately huntress, while amazing for so many reasons for both training and general play, relies HEAVILY on her unlocks. To the point of her base skills being nearly irrelevant in most situations over the unlocks
With someone like captain? Just unlock hacking beacons and he's set. For acrid? Is base kit is the best so unlocks don't matter. Mercs unlocks are all kinda good in different ways.
Its different for each survivor how easy to jump in they are, and how they should be set up
spiral gorge
I cant do mercs ethereal challenge
keen onyx
And the most important thing, play who you want. If someone says you shouldn't be x character, consider it? But chose who you like.

Killing 4000 elites only gives you a 63.22% chance to get at least one aspect. Killing 4000 of each elite would be 20000 which does give a 99.33% for at least one (Unless you want to count perfected as well? in that case it's 24000 and 99.75%)

Is bandit's rifle better than the shotgun in basically any circumstance?
tired axle
Is bandit's rifle better than the shotgun in basically any circumstance?
shotgun has better damage, rifle has no falloff at range and scales better with proc items
hybrid vault
shotgun is usually better than rifle, but both are viable
I'm pretty sure rifle is better on higher eclipse levels?
inner spade
shotgun has better damage, rifle has no falloff at range and scales better with ...
I don't think it does, though
rifle has 1.0 proc and shotgun has .5x5 proc
tired axle
yeah, i'm talking about total damage procs
i should probably write a copypasta for this, ugh
so, let's say ya have an atg, that has a 10% chance of proccing and deals 300% total damage. on rifle this would +990% base every 10 shots meaning 990% / 10 = +99% base damage per shot on average. for shotgun the proc chance would be lowered to 5%, resulting in +300% damage every 20 hits. since one shot consists of 5 hits, this would be 300% / (20 / 5) = +75% base damage per shot on average.
so shotgun gets less damage per atg then rifle due to its lowered proc coef even though it has more damage by itself.
the easier way to do the math for this would just be dps * proc coeff * 0.3 * amount of atgs = average damage from atgs
though for my example i used damage per shot, instead of damage per second
merry karma

i see :o this i guess this makes sense if ur going for atg's / bands

Nerf captain
Hey, opinions are opinions. He can easily get mobility through the items. His primary is amazing for close and range, having a good proc and multiple projectiles, which makes bleed and leech seed optimal. He has a passive that deflects most of all the most dangerous attacks (Solus unit ground AoE, Jellyfish charged orb, Leumarian fire, Greater Wisps, Chimera's ball attack) and gets even stronger if you have some drones, or by the gods if you have a backup equipment? That passive is amazing.

I think one hacking is okay, but double hacking is redundant
OK I think that is a good solution, only allow one hacking
hybrid vault
double hacking barely saves any time
assuming you're full clearing, which you should be doing anyways
misty shore
Full clearing is hard when maintaining a safe per stage time
Hacking can half the time on a stage, especially early
misty shore
That seems

Hello
misty shore
We're debating about captain.
tired axle
OH! I remember.
misty shore
Yea Diablo is strong but its fair for what it takes to get it.
I have no problem with diablo, but I still think captain is op overall
tired axle
ok, so basically i used the credit income and the reward multiplier from the directors to determine how long it takes to buy a chest. then i assumed you would get 2 small chests / one big one worth of money per hacking beacon to determine how much time you save when using it.
misty shore
Yea

2 smalls per big
tired axle
which is like ~40s per beacon as ya can see
in game mobility would also be something to account for though
misty shore
The beacons are very reliable too
Yea but with those extra items mobility isn't too hard to accomplish
Isn't engie the same speed
No mobility that is
tired axle
Yea but with those extra items mobility isn't too hard to accomplish
well, not really extra items, just the same amount in less time
misty shore
I suppose.
True, but much of the game is luck
and being that much faster (stage time wise), stronger and capable of getting these things quicker while ignoring most of all projectiles
hybrid vault
luck isn't a problem in ror2
because bad luck doesn't exist
because there are no bad items anymore
misty shore
chrono?
hybrid vault
chronobauble is decent
misty shore
The more time it takes for a melee enemy to get to you is more time to survive

Someone mentioned full clearing stages, is that a thing i should be doing? I kinda zip to tele fighting on the way in places that benifit my build while picking up chests/loot then dip.
hybrid vault
full clearing is statistically better than tp rushing
warm salmon
hmmmm imma give it a good try
hybrid vault
7 minutes represents full clearing
but you don't need to always adhere to 7 minutes
warm salmon
thx bud
dull ingot
since you only have two supply beacons
|| if you have a dios, it resets your skills, so you actually get 2 when you die with a dios ||
rare heart
7 minutes represents full clearing
If you're a casual, yea.
misty shore
Oh wow look at you

if you want to full clear but not waste tonnes of time, do the teleporter after opening a decent amount of chests and use the money from the tp to open the last chests, it makes it pretty damn quick and you dont waste a minute to open 2 large chests

Is there logic behind lunar coins not being auto-pickedup
slender sigil
i mean i guess they're classed as lunars, they have blue text and such and all lunars need to be interacted with to be picked up
but for as an actual reason why you wouldnt want it to auto pickup i cant think of one

Nope this game has really good characters that are designed quite well
full gale
Not to mention that the longer your run is the less the character matters
lapis cosmos
Hunterness is far from unviable
She doesn’t need many changes imo
Main one would be lowering cooldown on ballista
