I agree

#

I will embrace the void corruption

round ermine
#

folks who do not pick them up are saying they DON'T like deleting enemies

#

they DON'T like healing from sprinting

#

they DON'T like the puke

carmine gyro
#

I will never skip da bling bling polylute

round ermine
#

puke <-- puke

echo matrix
#

I'm not sure if I'd take polylute on acrid or captain or loader

carmine gyro
#

I literally do not care

round ermine
#

what would the polylute sound like?

echo matrix
#

Chris

carmine gyro
#

I will never skip something so twisted 😈

echo matrix
#

It's just Chris going twang

#

That's what it sounds like

carmine gyro
#

I love corpsebloom

#

I love polylute

#

I will pair wungus with corpsebloom

round ermine
#

corruption never sounded so good

carmine gyro
#

Lunar items 🤢

#

Void items 🤑

round ermine
#

glass lets ya instakill enemies, but they can instakill YOU

carmine gyro
#

The only downside is that you miss out on the original item's effects for the rest of the run

#

So it's quite literally just alt items

echo matrix
#

Yes i love that

carmine gyro
#

Lost seer shadow buffs ocular HUD 🤨

round ermine
#

with the brand new lost seer's lenses take all the danger of shaped glass and chuck it straight into the trash! Here you can instantly kill everything in sight without losing your oneshot protection!

echo matrix
#

It's lunar items without ruining the item

carmine gyro
#

Yep

round ermine
#

who needs crits anyway?

carmine gyro
#

And we only saw 3 of them(there's probably like 20)

round ermine
#

just get some clovers

carmine gyro
#

Just get ocular hud

round ermine
carmine gyro
#

Full time

round ermine
carmine gyro
#

It would just be a bit lame if there was this cool awesome tier and it has like no items in it's own expansion

echo matrix
#

My bets on 12

carmine gyro
#

That only means there will be no more items ADDED to it later

echo matrix
#

Bookmark this and harass me if I'm wrong

round ermine
#

what kinda void items would you guys wanna see?

carmine gyro
#

Only the 4 normal items shown in previous Dev thoughts are non void 😹

echo matrix
#

Void pauldrons, Void Focus crystal, void daisy

carmine gyro
#

I want void daisy tbh

#

Void polyp

echo matrix
#

Prolly something like dmg on pulse in tp

carmine gyro
#

Things I not often consider too useful

echo matrix
#

Void polyp would have to be wungus level good

#

To counteract how bad the regular polyp is

round ermine
#

I would like a void chronobauble, maybe it stops time for a limited time when YOU'RE hit!

echo matrix
#

YOOOOOO

carmine gyro
#

Same thing but it sticks to your body instead

echo matrix
#

THAT'S SICK

round ermine
#

:D

echo matrix
#

My idea for a voidwire was it would be turned into a proc that made it so they get wire wrapped in them

carmine gyro
#

Superhot item
(Slows time when Ur not moving, doesn't work in coop doe 💀)

echo matrix
#

No make it work in co op

#

I want to go afk and fuck my teqm

carmine gyro
#

J meant like

#

It would be pretty uncontrollable in coop

echo matrix
#

Yes

#

Why wouldn't you want that

carmine gyro
#

But it does sound funny

reef plover
#

STOP

#

STOP TALKIING ABOUT TIMESTOP

#

I’m SO FUCKING TIRED of hearing about it

echo matrix
#

On jojo it's fucking timestop

reef plover
#

You CANNOT put it into ror2

round ermine
#

:(

echo matrix
#

On touhou it's fucking timestop

carmine gyro
#

Risk of rain does have timestop doe

echo matrix
#

I was talking to my girlfriend and i showed her the gman

round ermine
#

it was in ror1 though

reef plover
#

Anyone who mentions timestop should be instabanned

echo matrix
#

And i said when the GORDON is UNDER EMPLOYMENT

reef plover
#

It’s like cross platform

#

Can’t do it yet

echo matrix
#

You can implement time stop in multiplayer

carmine gyro
#

Void bands (consumes both band types) 🤨

round ermine
#

we're just discussing what we think would be cool dude

echo matrix
#

It just wouldn't be fun

#

Except for me I'm the fucked up gremlin who would have fun

carmine gyro
#

I never skip meteorite ☠️

round ermine
#

THE WEAK SHOULD FEAR THE STRONG

merry karma
#

meteorite is pretty good

echo matrix
#

On my friends third games i had one of them use meteorite

#

It was a new player bloodbath

round ermine
#

I had meteorite and glass one time, my friend died so many times

echo matrix
#

Omegalul

#

Meteorite is too based

#

Isn't it good on arti cause the damage is on the floor only

round ermine
#

I stopped doing that cuz that wasn't really that fair and I wanted them to have fun too

carmine gyro
#

Void lunar items 👽

reef plover
#

Void headstompers: cannot jump

echo matrix
#

Please don't make void lunar items

carmine gyro
#

Legbreakers

reef plover
#

Void gesture: cannot activate equipment, 50% higher cooldown

carmine gyro
#

Void brittle crown: become mithrix

echo matrix
#

Void gestures: cannot activate equipment except when fully charged, Adds 2 extra charge, activates all charges at once

round ermine
#

void focus crystal: you deal extra ranged damage

echo matrix
#

Focus crystal would just be a giant circle with a hole around you

#

You'd be the donut hole

carmine gyro
#

Void pauldron increases damage when not on a planetary genocide 😈

round ermine
#

moth scared the shit outta me

carmine gyro
#

Void crowbar 🧐

echo matrix
#

That'd just make you do extra damage the lower health they are

carmine gyro
#

Void items aren't always the opposite

echo matrix
#

I think we need to broaden void items from oh it's the opposite to oh it's a really alternate view

#

Yeah

#

Like seers lost glasses

carmine gyro
#

Like lost seer isn't really an opposite

echo matrix
#

Way more than just crit evil

carmine gyro
#

Wungus just has no real alternative than starstorm dungus

echo matrix
#

Here's my idea for a cautious slug void

cerulean rapids
carmine gyro
#

And polylute uhhh well 🤷‍♂️

echo matrix
#

When your out of combat you start gaining a scaling dmg buff until you enter combat and it starts to decay

carmine gyro
#

Idk honestly

#

Most of the time you are in combat

echo matrix
#

I mean out of combat happens enough to make slug goated

high torrent
#

you know how slug works right?

#

you aren't considered "in combat" until you get hit

echo matrix
#

OH

#

I was thinking it was red whip rules

round ermine
#

I fucking HATE bugs

high torrent
#

red whip, on the other hand, doesn't care if you get hit, if you use ability that damages, it will turn off

#

bugs bzzt

echo matrix
#

Yeah once you engage it turns off

#

My suggestion is too cracked nvm

high torrent
#

BUT mul-t with saw and nail enters here

#

if you hold either m1, he will get the buff back

echo matrix
#

Hmmm

#

So what your saying it never let go

high torrent
#

yup

merry karma
#

void red whip would be based if it gave you speed on hit

#

or like predatory?dunno

high torrent
#

feathered plum

echo matrix
#

I feel like void whip is quite possibly one of the most wanted void items

carmine gyro
#

Void atg creates void reaver artillery

echo matrix
#

I've seen hundreds of mentions about possible applications

carmine gyro
#

🤓

round ermine
#

I am so excited for the new update

echo matrix
#

Same

round ermine
#

gonna be hard to wait

carmine gyro
#

Like 3 more months or so

echo matrix
carmine gyro
#

Doubt it will be in the winter

echo matrix
#

It's gonna be 2022 quarter 1

carmine gyro
#

Yeah could be like early spring

#

Most likely

round ermine
#

ror2 makes me sweat, new update not being in summer is probably a good thing

#

if it doesn't get released in summer that is

clear flicker
#

quarter one is jan feb and march

round ermine
#

I am aware

clear flicker
#

so im guessing somethime in feb when release or if we very lucky jan

#

im hoping the dlc is only about 20 or so

carmine gyro
#

It will be less than the base game for sure

round ermine
#

if it's in march I won't mind cuz it means they'll have more time to work on it

carmine gyro
#

As far as I'm aware dlcs are 3-4 major content updates in size

#

And base game consists of 5? I don't remember

#

Maybe 6 including anniversary

#

But it's not major

round ermine
#

getting another content update march will be pog

echo matrix
#

Content update month when

#

We need our C.U.M God damn it

clear flicker
carmine gyro
#

Can't??

echo matrix
#

Honestly risk of rain is under pricrf

carmine gyro
#

If it's measured by the amount of content it's definitely less than the base game

echo matrix
#

If they need to make the dlc about or more expensive id say go for it

clear flicker
#

they can price it what ever they want

high torrent
#

i love this community

jan? nah unlikely
feb? ok sounds fine ig
march? CUUUUUUUUM LETSO GOOOO

echo matrix
#

CUM CUM CUM CUM CUM

carmine gyro
#

I would prefer dlc next week 😈

high torrent
#

i would prefer drg sale like
now

echo matrix
#

Not a true fan, isn't rooting for cum

round ermine
#

I just want the price to see how much I gotta save

carmine gyro
#

Sorry I'm heterosexual I do not enjoy chugging semen

clear flicker
#

heck even if it costed 30$ i still buy it

carmine gyro
#

Splitting the community into the poor and the rich 🙂

round ermine
#

he ck yeah

#

though I think it might be 25-30 aussie dollars in price, what's that in USD? idk

echo matrix
#

Pc or console

clear flicker
#

more then likely dlc will be around the same price as base game i think

echo matrix
#

Yeah it seems to be shaping up to be a doubling of content

clear flicker
#

we are getting so much stuff added that seems like a good spot

carmine gyro
#

Almost

#

It's like 3/4 of the base game added on top

clear flicker
#

i want more non mod skins i already have everything in game

carmine gyro
#

Literally do not care about skins

echo matrix
#

I care

carmine gyro
#

I'm unlockable content hungry

clear flicker
#

alot of ppl care about skins

round ermine
#

more skins would be cool

carmine gyro
#

Anything that has no practical use is 🛌

clear flicker
#

like a new skin for beating the new alt final boss thats void themed

echo matrix
round ermine
carmine gyro
#

I can relate but

clear flicker
#

we are getting a new alt final stage and boss wit i forgot

round ermine
#

and a new alt gamemode

clear flicker
#

yah just remebered

carmine gyro
#

Mostly because I have not grown enough to the point where I can contribute anything 🙂

#

Grown both mentally and physically

clear flicker
#

i want the new void bussling fungi now

echo matrix
#

Wungus

carmine gyro
#

Literally a starstorm item

echo matrix
#

My beloved

round ermine
#

what does wungus taste like?

reef plover
#

Goobo

echo matrix
#

Bungus tastes like bella mushrooms

#

Wungus tastes like Meat

clear flicker
#

ik im already building a infinite goobo build

round ermine
#

MEATSHROOMS

carmine gyro
#

Goobo Senior final boss

echo matrix
#

Wungus tastes like the blood in your mouth after the contact light crashed here

#

Wungus tastes like that empty feeling in your gut when you found them, those purple lizard tearing apart your friends

round ermine
#

scavenger with goobo jr

echo matrix
#

Wungus tastes kinda like a shitty smarties

clear flicker
#

so im taking a wild guess here one of the new characters is beat the new alt final stage

echo matrix
#

Wungus tastes like the rage you felt as you slaughtered them all

carmine gyro
#

Sure do hope it's not

#

I love "quest" unlocks

#

🙂

clear flicker
#

and its name lieutenant

round ermine
#

I want more monster survivors

clear flicker
#

that be cool we tenicly have 2

carmine gyro
#

I want weaver 🤓

echo matrix
#

We dont have enough

#

I want more robots, i want more konsyers

#

Fuck mankind, they're over and done woth

Fucked up lizards are the future

posion doggo king

green cargo
#

this should be an ability

echo matrix
#

Commando alt unlock?

clear flicker
#

camndo slides

green cargo
#

fr

clear flicker
#

yep

echo matrix
#

I get why but I'm bummed we won't be getting new abilities in the dlc

green cargo
round ermine
#

okay it's 4:41 am, I'm going to bed, night fellas

clear flicker
#

well no not slow time but slide and shooting

green cargo
#

basically exact same as what it does in max payne

echo matrix
#

Gn napper have your nap

clear flicker
#

that be to broken

round ermine
green cargo
echo matrix
#

happiesttroll don't have none

green cargo
#

Slows time would be a cool ability

#

bollocks to balance, commando is dogshit anyway

#

needs a decent piece of kit

clear flicker
#

and hoppo wont add a broken move like that im possitive

carmine gyro
#

The boof

#

Commando is amazing and the best

clear flicker
#

if u want something like that get mods to do it

#

wait if we are getting a new elite monster dose tat mean new aspect?

carmine gyro
#

Can't wait for modders to poorly port the whole dlc

clear flicker
#

i kinda wish aspects were a bit more common then what they are now

#

like still rare but not non existent

carmine gyro
#

Maybe but aspects are dogwater except for overloading anyway

clear flicker
#

debatable

#

sure some are bad

echo matrix
#

I hope wungus has cool vfx

carmine gyro
#

I do like Celestine in coop doe

echo matrix
#

Like the fungus grows when you sprint and covers your head and shoulders

clear flicker
#

id dore fire and overloadng on multi

carmine gyro
#

Blazing generally sucks outside of earlygame or for deathmark

#

Overloading basically gives you like x1.5 more damage

#

So it's at least decent

charred heath
#

gd2 moment

tired axle
#

what did i miss?

tired axle
#

like, triple damage on mando's m1 is quite a lot

carmine gyro
#

I literally just said it's only good for earlygame

#

Other than that blazing is pretty underwhelming

#

I'm not saying it's bad

tired axle
#

oh, you're definition of early game is way different from mine it seems

#

for me it's like stage 1 and 2 (and 3 while rushing) are early game, 3 and 4 (and 5 when rushing) are midgame, and 5-8 are lategame, after that it's pretty much just ultra late game, nothing really changing past that point meta wise

clear flicker
#

early game is norm stage 1-3 for most ppl i thought

carmine gyro
#

For me earlygame is like the first two loops

clear flicker
#

thats not early game what so every though

tired axle
#

that is a very loose definition for early, huh

carmine gyro
#

Well I just feel that way

tired axle
#

so does anything really change between your midgame and lategame item choices?

clear flicker
#

normally buy me 2nd loop i have my build finsihed

#

then go for as long as i can

#

wait now that i think about something what if to get to the new void stage or alt stage we do something in void feilds to prep it

tired axle
#

oh god, i hope not, void fields is just 10 minutes of boredom for me

#

though maybe they rework it a bit in the dlc

clear flicker
#

i always goto void stage cuase free items with not to much work

#

see so far the only void thing we have is the void fields and reavers

stable junco
#

A combination of words that brings terror to every ror2 player.

clear flicker
#

oof

stable junco
#

I survived tho.

high wasp
#

Acrid best survivor

clear flicker
#

eeeeeeh acrid is my number 2 i like bandt

echo matrix
#

Then why do you have the acrid role

#

Instead of the bandit role

high torrent
#

bandit role is further than acrid anyways

carmine gyro
#

i dont even like acrid that much im just lazy to change roles

high torrent
#

early access order haven't been changes for years

#

im toxic and acrid represents it well

#

also looks cool when i show off antimithrix macrid wins likes that

high torrent
#

killing mithrix with melee acrid

high wasp
#

Oh

#

🤮

high torrent
#

true

quartz falcon
#

you can kill mithrix with acrid by poisoning him once and then running away for a few hours

tired axle
#

well, poison only lasts 10 seconds

quartz falcon
#

It does?

high torrent
#

latching onto his ass and biting it is 10x funnier

amber karma
#

Huntress Monsoon: Strafe or Flurry? I feel like Flurry makes the run more RNG dependent since you need crit chance to have damage, but also if you're not getting a lot of crit chance the run is probably dead anyway, and it snowballs better.

high torrent
#

I mean if you just loop it's a no brainer flurry. If you only go to mithrix without looping and really not a fan of how flurry starts out, you won't miss much picking strafe

amber karma
#

I haven't been looping, maybe I should? I feel like keeping up huntress's damage becomes harder and harder the further you go. Monsoon scales so fast

#

I've gotten to the boss twice now, died on phase 3 both times lmfao

high torrent
#

from which attack are you dying mostly?

amber karma
#

The one where he teleports back and forth then swings. I've mostly gotten the hang of dodging it, but both times the fight went on for like 15 minutes. It was inevitable i'd eventually slip up

high torrent
#

wow that's really long

amber karma
#

Yeah I was basically just slowly chipping him down haha

high torrent
#

what kind of strategy do you have moving on from stage to stage?

amber karma
#

I try to get anything within line of sight on the way to the teleporter, but I don't hang around too long. Been getting to the final stage around the 30 minute mark

high torrent
#

my last huntress mithrix kills were purely crowdfunder actually lmao, I might not be the best advisor if I neglect the character in this way hhhh

amber karma
#

Crowdfunder is kinda hilarious, honestly if I got lucky with a royal capacitor or something it would make the fight a joke

#

Just because having to stay in-range of huntress's super short lock on distance means you're always in harm's way

high torrent
amber karma
#

I'll give it a shot! I might go for an obliteration too just to try it

@tired axle
Neat name

raven token
#

green beans

dull ingot
#

it's a lot higher than it was before, since the chance has been raised drastically from 4% to 20%

charred heath
#

Uh its a lot lower chance than that

dull ingot
#

ah, you're right. It's a 0.33% chance lol

vague comet
#

Yeah bc it's both the chance of getting 2 in a row, on top of having it specifically take Gouge and-- yeah

dull ingot
#

I'm big smart

"33%" kek

charred heath
#

Mfw gesture braindead

vague comet
#

Lowkey do you guys think Gesture should be nerfed in any way?

#

Because it's so much of a gimme. Unlike the other lunar items it's almost always best to take it when able

#

Except only for like... Recycler

#

And even then it's just a little irritating

dull ingot
#

in all seriousness, I think tonic needs more of a nerf than gesture

#

just increase cool down or decrease uptime

charred heath
#

Stacking gestures should each give you an effect called “drowned” where every 30 seconds you gain an effect that stops regeneration and reduces your healing by 50% for x seconds

#

Thats been my suggestion for most of the time

dull ingot
#

ehm
that sounds crippling

charred heath
#

The effect wouldnt be insanely long

#

And it wouldnt stack up the more gestures you have

vague comet
#

What about a soft nerf? First gesture doesn't effect cooldown times. Additional gestures do reduce cooldown time, but less than a fuel cell does.

charred heath
#

Which is worse imo

vague comet
#

Maybe just have it reduce cooldown times less in general?

dull ingot
#

I think glass should reduce your health to 50%+1 so you can never die, even at 128 stacks

charred heath
vague comet
#

But it's funny to die from that. Who is ever going to do that accidentally

dull ingot
#

it feels silly that literally every normal item (technically including crit glass and tritip) can stack to literally billions before the game crashes and it only taks 128 stacks for glass to not work and that literally kills your run

vague comet
#

America explain

dull ingot
#

lol

charred heath
dull ingot
#

I was seeing how high my base damage could get before I died to a wisp or something and then I picked up my 128th lol

dull ingot
charred heath
#

You are proving my point

dull ingot
#

howso

charred heath
#

Stacking 128 gestures on dml also usually nearly crashes if not entirely, the game

vague comet
charred heath
#

Stacking 128 warbanners does some shit too

dull ingot
charred heath
#

Lags me a bit

vague comet
#

Highkey stoked to learn the void item effects

#

Some items that are garbagio might have dope void versions. Like bungus on non-engies becoming healing on sprint

charred heath
#

But again stacking 128 of a lot of items brings the game to its knees

dull ingot
charred heath
#

Huh, i remember doing that at some point and causing issues

#

Couldve been proc chain bs

#

I got 128 gestures on command happiesttroll

narrow gate
#

anyone got tips for dealing with clay dunestrider as bandit

#

seems impossible to get behind for crits and bleed

#

also found the smoke bomb is not enough to get out of the sucky thing

#

seems very hard to deal with maybe im just bad tho

#

my copium is that bandit is just a bad survivor

high torrent
#

that's some copious amounts of copium

high torrent
#

sprint around while he doing the normal attack to avoid it completely

narrow gate
#

but when he lifts up he shoots the big balls and those hurt

#

and he spins

high torrent
high torrent
narrow gate
#

that checks out

#

the other stuff is still hard to deal with

#

i unironically do think hes a bad survivior tho

high torrent
#

it terms of being dumbly overtuned, yes

#

are you playing with controller btw?

half kraken
#

assuming you mean dunestrider

usually they're ok but their tracking is kinda the j

high torrent
#

that's why i said good

half kraken
#

one time i avoided the balls

high torrent
#

cuz yeah, if you fuck up the first jump you will get hit by all others

half kraken
#

and then for some reason the terrain behind me made them decide they should

#

literally do an 180

and then all hit me in the back

high torrent
#

and if you are on the super circular terrain they just go back at yuo

full gale
#

Sounds like

lol

#

i would also make a joke about not using lunars, but i actually used those on that run so

#

i also used the command portal below skymeadows on stage 5, since times doesn't move there and you get can got free items while also basically skipping a stage

#

for time managment just don't loot at all before the tele and only get chests that are semi close to it afterwards

#

you have pretty great mobility as loader, so if you can get a good swing even a chest that's 100 meters away can count as close

Captain and merc probably

#

I think personally that a lot of things would apply, like what artifacts you have enabled and game experience

cerulean rapids
#

whoever you want

red hamlet
#

you can beat monsoon as everyone but characters with synergy might have an easier time

#

captain + engi with the healing beacons for example

#

huntress + bandit/mul-t for a balance between single-target and aoe

cerulean rapids
#

and if you want actually effective aoe you could play merc happiesttroll

red hamlet
#

merc has good dps if you do ethereal and get slicing winds but otherwise he tends to just abuse iframes all day

deft junco
#

nevermind the game doesnt hate me

neon hatch
#

oof

half kraken
#

unironically outdpsed by bandit m1ing things individually and for smaller things he can just smoke bomb

#

if you want big aoe / crowd control you go

  • merc
  • arti
  • maybe engi with good items
  • maybe acrid
red hamlet
half kraken
#

glaive dmg is a bit crappy in general

if you use it against two beetle guards on stage 2 they dont even get to half hp

half kraken
#

bandit doesnt even have to actually use anything else than m1 to outdps her at multi target

glaive is very limited

#

and yeah his early game m1 is 2200-2666% dps with crit factored in

#

huntress with all glaive bounces is like 650%~ or something

red hamlet
#

when you stack glasses/backup mags huntress is really strong

half kraken
#

not really

#

backup mags are nice but still a lil stronger on other survivors

a godsend on her m2 tho gives her good aoe

#

crits are nice with flurry but

  1. early game flurry is irredeemable pure garbage
  2. even with crit its still worse than most m1s with crit
#

actually flurry w/ full crit gets outdpsed by a lot of m1s even when they dont have crit...

#

huntress damage is horrendous in general

her base dps is half of the other survivors when they use good loadouts

red hamlet
#

i play eclipse and i can assure you she isnt as stunted as you might think

half kraken
#

the only survivors i can think of that are lower than double her dps, at least single target as for commando, are

  • commando with no phase blast
  • mercenary with eviscerate
  • artificer with ion surge
  • engineer with no alts
half kraken
red hamlet
half kraken
#

including huntress

#

her damage is objctively dogshit but

#

in eclipse 8 she becomes a lot relatively better, but shes not the only one that accomplishes that

#

and in the hands of most experienced seasoned players shes generally considered the weakest oversll

#

because her damage and scaling is just worse

phase blink is a redeeming quality but absolutely a crutch-y one

#

like not saying its great but its less potent as you get better at WASD

#

thats why huntress is generally not regarded as a great survivor on par with others and not very prefered by most seasoned players

she is absolutely very strong for newer players and more forgiving though, thats why her monsoon clear rate is actually the highest amongst the whole playerbase

#

but the tiny skill floor incurs tiny skill ceiling

red hamlet
#

because of phase blink?

half kraken
#

amongst other things

#

autoaim, ballista being easy, etc

#

the only thing that holds her back is her base kit

#

normal blink is fine but

arrow rain proc coefficient is so bad

red hamlet
#

isnt she the squishiest character in the game

half kraken
#

she is but its not a big deal

#

its only like -16% hp from the next step up which is also the most common hp bar in the game

#

I'd argue phase blink and her overall nice range combat wise more than compensates

#

lowest defense survivor is probably artificer

but well played arti does an excelent job at not being overwhelmed, quickly neutralizing threats and dodging with chad wasd to the point i wouldn't really call her low defense in the slightest, perhaps relatively low

nanobomb guaranteed stun + ice wall works wonders

#

speaking of arti shes really good on eclipse

crisp mango
full gale
#

You keep calling her weak and shitting on her but fail to realize, somehow, that what spicybullfrog said is true. For the enemies you fight those things are more than enough on huntress

#

And the items do nothing but help her power output

#

Once again I am forced to tell you huntress "haters" that she is just weak compared to other characters (which is also kinda bullshit but whatever) but not weak relative to the game itself

#

The "huntress weak" argument is just bullshit all around

tired axle
#

basically, the game is weak

full gale
#

Exactly that.

#

Sure, at first you might struggle with Huntress because, while her DPS output is guaranteed besides Ballista it is still low
But later on in the game you will get items that make you stronger and help you deal with threats more efficiently

#

And later on doesn't mean stage 20+
Even as far as stage 2 or 3 you can get pretty powerful as huntress

high torrent
#

mfw huntress is the only character to keep the game fun in powertopower comparison but ultimatively fails due to autoplay mechanics

tired axle
#

eh, i don't even think you normally struggle in the early game with her, maybe stage 2 where enemies generally get a big boost in health compared to your damage but other than that she's fine

full gale
#

Yeah true the only thing that makes her somewhat "struggle" is how slow her m1 is

#

That's it.
Oh and I guess big cooldowns on m2 and R

#

But THAT'S it

tired axle
#

also her low health which actually matters in early game, though she does have good in combat mobility to balance that one out

full gale
#

@tired axle hey withor check out this full loot time

youre usually held back by money gathering time

#

"spend a bit more time looting"
"spend less time looting"
The duality of RoR2 players

#

Honestly 14 minutes for stage 4 is fast as fuck, despite what some people might say slowing down might help you out

#

The time jumps forward a ton every time you teleport to the next stage. You can't out-race it, just out-scale it

#

Also try to do void fields as early as you possibly can. An extra 9 items (including a red!) on stage 1 is way more huge than on like, stage 4. It can easily make a run start cascading into absurd levels of power

dull ingot
# amber karma "spend a bit more time looting" "spend less time looting" The duality of RoR2 pl...

the difference is they're separate strategies

spend a bit more time looting
this is called full looting (for obvious reasons) and it's one of the more extreme strategies. The idea is that you will out scale enemies through picking up items, and so you don't have to worry about the timer

spend less time looting
this is called rushing, because you're trying to get to the teleporter as fast as possible. The idea is that you don't have to worry about out scaling enemies, because they can't scale if you go through stages fast enough

picking either one will change how you learn, but in my humble opinion (plus mostly everyone in the server's who's actually good at the game), taking a couple extra items will help you more than trying to rush.
Woolie is a big creator who is an adamant advocate for the rushing technique, and in his words, it's not a steadfast rule, just a good guideline to learn the basics to get better.

hope this helped

amber karma
#

Yeah it depends on the character too tbh, some like Huntress scale very well with items yet are pretty useless without them, others like MUL-T can shred up to stage 3 with literally just their starting kit

dull ingot

very true

commando, for instance, is going to do wayyy better with items, however Loader is really good without

#

Hi gd2

#

Is this where the game discussion occurs

dull ingot
#

just came to the realization that blood shrines on eclipse are next to not worth it, given you lose 50% max health just by using it three times

half kraken
#

eclipse blood shrines are pretty great for early stages specially if your damage is already high

and the first 1-2 uses dont really hurt

#

health cut off is not that big of a deal

dull ingot
half kraken
#

one sec i have a video

dull ingot
#

30% of damage taken is permanent though, right?

half kraken
#

not eclipse 8 but

bro look at that moneeyy

#

specially when you play high hp characte

#

like 160 hp would give me nearly 1.5x the gold per use

near jay
#

I aim for <14 mins as for getting onto round 4 solo but I always rush void fields after stage 1

#

So usually take longer stage 1 then blast thru 2 and 3

#

Not sure if that’s ideal tho

half kraken
#

rushing is generally never ideal

#

don't worry about minutes per stage, thats counterproductive because difficulty skips foward during stage transition

#

focus on trying to get the most items as possible per minute (which generally involves looting most, preferably all chests you find in a stage)

#

someone here made some data and even if you assume an exagerated time of 8 minutes per stage and arrive at commencement at 40 minutes, you still get more items / difficulty than most rushing strategies

this is not including bonuses from void fields or hidden realms

#

howhever if you get a lot of items early on with void fields then i guess rushing makes a little more sense? specially if you get lunars too, provided you loot stage 4 and 5 very well

#

actually on second thought yeah

getting stacked on items in void fields then rushing stage 4 - 5 sounds pretty good

#

@near jay what survivor do you play as?

#

if you're using a survivor that hits fast and you're comfortable not taking damage with then

Brittle_Crown sounds good for you

#

you can get one while you go to the bazaar for the stage 1 void fields, and then use it to speed up your looting by a lot across stages 2-4

Brittle crown is so nice

like about 2-3x the other survivors

#

sometimes 1.5x

crisp mango
#

it's honestly a matter of what playstyle yields you success

half kraken
#

yeah but

#

benefits to rushing generally boil down to placebo / luck over skill

barren prawn
#

we gotta talk about the happy medium too here guys. We've had a great back and forth about the full rush verses full loot

#

Woolie talks about rushing with about 5min per stage to learn the game. For me it taught me what items really make a big impact. So in the early stages if my items are really bad I knew I needed better items if I wanted this run to go on longer, so I would loot more. If I saw that my items were really quite good, I would go maybe faster then usual. Ive had times where I have great items but I had to loot longer so I go straight for TP. Then I used tp gold to buy a few chests around the tp then just left. Maybe 3min for that stage. Then I have times where I have a full defense build on stage 2, just scraping by the tp, making a plan to make sure to get some good items even if it takes me longer on stage 3.

#

I think the "skill" here is learning the balance of when to rush vs loot.

This game is filled with RNG and you can only do so much. You can only outplay the enemies, spend more time/less time on a stage, to a point. If you end up with still only defense items and a desk plant for your only red, runs basically over. Unless you want to try luner items to get a boost in power

cold crystal
barren prawn
#

Thats just my opinion. Its a hard learning curve to understand the context of your run for sure, but it will come with time

Please do give feedback if something was totally off because Im always up for learning more about the game

quartz saffron
#

i say just start doing them, the only big changes are the smaller tp zone, the extra fall dmg that can kill you, and monsters attacking faster

the other ones are neglegable for the most part

Ive only got to eclipse 7 on one character so far. I think I'm just having trouble adjusting to the faster attack rates

high torrent
# barren prawn Tell me more?

why time is a meme: time factor contributes way less than stage one in the formula for difficulty, meaning best way to scale with ambient difficulty is to gather as much strength as possible by the end of each stage. taking time for minmaxing would've punish on sky meadows before anniversary update, but
Sky Meadows
Reduce initial map monster spawns by -24% (also way less tanky parens along with easy ass grandparent boss)
happened and like
sky meadows is just no longer punishes you for entering it in ~35 minutes mark and the more items you have the better
rushing is good when you about to fall asleep because,,

you get slightly outscaled by stage difficulty spikes, relying more on your knowledge and experience with a character you are playing

barren prawn
#

I personally have never tried this strategy before, mostly because I play on monsoon. Have you used this on monsoon?

I feel I get pretty consistent first loops with the strategy discussed before. Has this strategy been consistent for you?

#

Ive also taught a few friends how to play, and we always go further in our runs when we have a generally faster pace, not looting the whole stage.

high torrent
#

multiplayer is actually weird cup of tea
i would say leaving some stuff in the favor of time is better with mp scaling

I don't feel like I miss very many mountain shrines. I generally get a good idea of what's on the whole map before hitting TP. I like to see whats there to see if I want to commit the time and resources it would be to farm an area. Dont want to miss any large chests either

plain plinth
#

Well, think of it this way: as you get items, your power goes higher and higher to the point where you can afk and everything dies.

#

Monsters get stronger as time goes on, but not as much.

#

So you scale with items better than monsters scale with time.

barren prawn
#

Yes indeed, at what stage do you think you start to see that fated 'god run'

plain plinth

Depends more on what items. I've had runs where I've basically won at stage 1 and others where I struggle 10+ stages long.

When u guys say rush do u mean rush to boss then spending whatever money u have afterwards

#

Or literally like no chests

plain plinth
#

Well, it usually goes like this when I end up playing with people who like to rush: boss = dead, portal is hit, I have 4 unopened chests in front of me. Hopoo

I think now would be a good time to clarify the context of the conversation. Someone far back asked how to get better at Monsoon.

I have been giving advice best I know how, sharing what I've found to be the most CONSISTANT way to get up to that god run status.

I am learning as well, and I'm willing to try out a more farming style. Most of my advice goes just for the first 4+ stages. After we hit that 4th stage, its best to start farming a bit more. There is just more value in spending more time as the run goes on in each stage.

plain plinth
#

In late stages after you loop, you might have enough money to open everything after portal, but hitting boss would make people who fell behind die before they can open a single chest.

barren prawn
#

I don't think these strategies have been explained very well. Rushing to me isn't going straight to TP

#

that would be like, speedrunning

plain plinth
#

If you aren't already, try getting a healing item like bungus or slug first stage if you can. Blood shrines speed things up a TON.

barren prawn
#

Any way to get more money to open more chest faster (i.e. blood shrines, combat shrines) will help a lot

plain plinth
#

Yup, though combat shrines in stage 3+ is only advisable if you are confident that you can kill it without too much trouble.

honest karma
#

Always mountain shrine no exceptions

plain plinth
#

Like a mobile turret engie, I'd hit all combat shrines since my turrets will kill it as I move on. Or acrid with poison.

barren prawn
#

I'll refer back to something I said earlier, the 'skill' here is finding the median.

barren prawn
#

I don't think we really gave context to the conversation early one. I am mostly talking first 4 stages

plain plinth
#

I had one utterly ludicrus game with mobile turret engie and I was stacking gouges. Killed my team a few times, but it made my own looting so much faster as I spammed them shrines.

#

It was fun

barren prawn
#

mobile turret engie is very fun.

I can't give up that bungus though

plain plinth
#

...I never understood bungus. You get 1 amazing run out of 20 and are a sitting duck hoping to win the lottery for the other 19.

barren prawn
#

thats the gold there

plain plinth
#

Too inconsistent in my opinion.

barren prawn
#

when you get that god bungus run

#

you can't go back

I've had those on stage 2 before.

barren prawn

I'm usually at stage 3 before 10 min

high torrent
#

i was just thinking about how i don't deal with elder lems on grove often an yeahh

barren prawn
#

which is really fast

#

mostly like 10-12 for the start of stage 3 for me

merry karma
#

24-30 minutes for me happiesttroll

#

monsoon?

merry karma
#

yea

barren prawn
#

sheeesh

plain plinth
#

Been awhile since I played, so I can't remember, but isn't that a long time?

barren prawn
#

it is lol

plain plinth
#

like, I NEVER get to stage 3 in under 10 minutes except for that one achievement that needed it, but 30 is a bit much.

barren prawn
#

I play really fast, and I get there is 10-12 minutes. Most of my friends it would be like 14 minutes

plain plinth
#

Well...It might be okay if he's playing acrid since acrid's damage would keep up.

#

not sure if anyone else could survive that though

#

i got to stage 3 at 16 miuntes because uuuh
4 minutes of pot rolling

#

and that screenie was as i went to sundered

barren prawn
#

pot rolling

high torrent

Aegis is probably the most overpowered underpowered item in the game. If you can use it, you basically win. If you don't find healing items, it's pure garbage.
