#prismatic-trials
open wagon
Like I've hit the tele at 2:16, but it didn't pop till 2:33
and absolutely not
Engi is rad
blazing mango
any huntress with some routes below 2:35 that could help me?
thorny jetty
i love engi too but the turrets not aggroing sometimes is gonna hold u back
bold falcon
@crystal trench
it was disgusting but ill upload it anways
actually no ima get a better run then upload
flat vine
good job
lime holly
twice the turrets didn't focus the boss on this one run. ffss
open wagon
You have to put them right in his face
chilly trout
they need to go by time alive
open wagon
I step back a bit to the tele to draw grunt aggro
zenith plinth
everyone plays by the same rules
zenith plinth
summer moat
i had an idea @open wagon its smal but you can use your sheild to block your turrets bullets from killing other enemies
open wagon
It can work, because against whatever boss you use the preon for you don't need your shield
also I just lost an oustanding run to rng
Wisps
I got the wisp event
Wisp boss, wisps everywhere
fml
flat vine
rip
lime holly
oof
summer moat
you dont need your sheild for ether boss btw, the beetle dies to the preon more or less, and the colossus dies pretty fast too, tho i get tri-tip daggers
flat vine
I personally used preon on Beetle and critted.
open wagon
BLAH
summer moat
2:27:39
flat vine
If tritip proc more than one time, its worth I guess
open wagon
Yeah, I get a volley as I'm falling down for the back one, then I hit it with another as I land
One volley on the one by the tele, and then a landmine
chilly trout
they need a damn restart button
open wagon
IF everything goes well
flat vine
I got lucky and I should play lottery.
You should pray more.
lime holly
I shed off a fews secs, just down to 3:02.
blazing mango
wow just got a 2:21 got the lucky one shot
open wagon
Okay you know what helps with your turrets?
Just bodyblock their shots if you can't bubble block them
XD
lime holly
yeess, 2:45.
thick gust
dang another engi, my mans
I'm still at 2:35
I swear tho, the first teleporter is taking like 4 seconds longer than usual now
lime holly
Had really unlucky stage 2, the two crystals stayed at a single shot of hp.
open wagon
PICTURES AKRAZA
lime holly
Noice
summer moat
and another engi
open wagon
@crystal trench
open wagon
Yo, good stuff everyone
summer moat
why hello there :3
lime holly
I love the fact there's throusands of Mul-ts and in between a few rebellious others
stone meadow
ANT-I MUL-Ts rise up
open wagon
Yeah, it's a solid hoot.
Though, I mean, at these times I can't really throw hate around
Because you still gotta do some clean stuff
stone meadow
It's good that prismatic trials have such a large group of participants
open wagon
Yeah! I'm glad we have this discord too
summer moat
when you accidentally buy the energy drink for the 10th time
was 3 seconds better this time ;-;
open wagon
I'm beating the first boss at around 1:30ish, I'm struggling to see Engi getting anywhere near that time
Which sucks because he can clear the second stage really crisp like
lime holly
YEAH, it's really hard to shred off time with engi, he's not mobile at all x)
blazing mango
wish I knew what those huntresses were doing
summer moat
you gatta use your m1's perfectly as engi XD
crystal trench
@open wagon You should add me on steam for friend leaderboard :)
summer moat
and mak sure your turrets dont keep killing
stone meadow
You gotta engineer your run perfectly as engineer
summer moat
claps
bold falcon
joe ad mee
open wagon
Yo, I'm down, here, dm me your steam. :O
bold falcon
Hat Kid
crystal trench
http://s.team/p/hfc-fjht/fhqftvrf do these links work
open wagon
You're not gonna find James on steam
crystal trench
Yeah and you won't find Joe lol
summer moat
i can make it to the arch with tri tip dagger around 55 seconds btw, if you guys need to refine that part still xd
as engi
open wagon
Yeah, that link don't work
stone meadow
Fungineer
crystal trench
blazing mango
as huntress is it worth picking up the speed in second round?
open wagon
Okay, so for the second crystal, I do the whole lob m1 at crystal before I hit the ramp
Then I charge up another m1 as I hit the equipment, and I shoot them off at the crystal, I back pedal into the peon as I lob landmines at the crystal and blow it up, running by as fluid as possible
If I miss a landmine, I can jump while running, throw a landmine, and go back to dashing with zero timeloss
summer moat
I skip the landmine part, and never walk, just sprint
I get the preon at 22 seconds, at my best
crystal trench
This feels bad
summer moat
Get the AP bullets at around 38
crystal trench
Merc confirmed worst class for prismatic :(
open wagon
Haha
Yeah, I was less hyped about breaking 2:30, and more hyped by beating you by just a few. XD
tidal token
^
there's something I'm doing wrong, has to be
I know there's people who got sub 2:30
I'm completely out of ideas though
thick gust
@summer moat are you boosting off all the crystals? Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wub8ogzFN6U&feature=youtu.be
tidal token
I'm still at 2:42
either it takes too long to kill beetle
or I save preon and it takes too long to kill titan
rancid swift
yeah i'm in the same boat aele
tidal token
oof
blazing mango
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljstRYJbGeg&feature=youtu.be some one tell me what I'm doing wrong please
tidal token
thanks !
open wagon
Your boost at the start
Like, look up at the engi pt start, and see how he boosts off the first crystal, a lot less air time
thick gust
yeah just walk as its about to explode
tidal token
hm
open wagon
You have to be close enough to it for it to push you though
cerulean sorrel
Whats everyones best times?
open wagon
2:26 Engi
slim lintel
1:55.23 Artificer
cerulean sorrel
How the heck did you get 1:55
slim lintel
the vids floating around in here somewhere
rancid swift
@blazing mango you're a god
cerulean sorrel
Yea i saw the vid, maybe i need better crystal jumps
rancid swift
how did you get beetle to spawn with half HP?
tidal token
r the area
slim lintel
if you hit it as it spawn the shield doesnt get to tick up
tidal token
before spawn
rancid swift
that's going to save so much time
thick gust
How about you Jamie, are you boosting off all 3?
I think it may be faster, esp if I go straight after preon
open wagon
I don't boost off the second one. I was doing the big air time boosts on accident on the first one, but I don't get anywhere near the second one
crystal trench
2:26 merc
lime holly
I can't seem to go under 2:45. Darn, does taking the sprint speed do good or waste more time ?
crystal trench
idk
bold falcon
pretty cloes to your 2:26
lime holly
And thoses darn elites that keeps spawning ontop of my turrets too.. v:
crystal trench
my 2:26 was like 2:18 alive iirc
bold falcon
aight ill wait till i get a sub 2:18
dawn rose
why does stone golem keep rng starting laser on me on perfect runs lol XD
open wagon
Taking the sprint wastes time, the dagger will speed stuff up more
lime holly
wait, there's a dagger ?
open wagon
Same thing, it's right behind it
slim lintel
behind the sodie pop
crystal trench
okay so I just went frame by frame on two runs where I activated the teleporter with 88 gold, and another where I activated with 60 gold
lime holly
gOD DARNIT
crystal trench
they both took about 9 1/2 seconds to start loading into the next area
around 1/10th of a second longer with 60 gold
but I don't think that's going to be consistent
stone meadow
That's a lot of time holy shit
crystal trench
in short -- the teleport time can't be lowered by having less money
at least it doesn't seem like it
lime holly
more gold doesn't mean more time wasted, the game take as long to decount the gold, just that if you gain gold afterward, it will decount slower the new amount
crystal trench
I could read code to figure it out for sure but I'm lazy and don't wanna do that
yeah sepherix that's what I assumed
bold falcon
2:20 again fml
crystal trench
but it's not really much effort to check to be sure
stone meadow
Basically don't kill things after you activate to proceed?
bold falcon
yea
crystal trench
add like 9 seconds
bold falcon
i know
crystal trench
kk
lime holly
Like, if you cash in 10 and kill things afterwards the gold gain is going to dribble 5/s
bold falcon
when i see 2:18 i know i beat u or did same speed
lime holly
you do not want that
I once cashed in 10 gold in normal play, and then used a blood altar, it took 20-30 seconds to dribble that into exp
cerulean sorrel
How r people getting such low times with huntress??
cerulean sorrel
Baffles me how people do it sub 2mins honestly
lime holly
sub 2 is quite uhm.. suspicious for some
because the cheat engine kiddies set the time to 1 or 0.
cerulean sorrel
I know its possible, i just need to know how lmao
lime holly
HAHAHA
crystal trench
RECORDED TOO
bold falcon
send me recording so i can compare time aliv
lime holly
tfw engineer is competing in a race and is actually posing a threat.
crystal trench
I could've saved a solid 2 seconds
tidal token
@blazing mango what's with all the preon damage?
lime holly
the second boss, it's a beetle queen right? I once had another titan.
crystal trench
open wagon
There is a titant and wisp event that can change the boss
tidal token
am I missing something? it was like 95% hp
crystal trench
He might've crit
lime holly
THE 1% ?
open wagon
If you stand on the beetle queen's spawn, it can also change the boss to a jelly
ALSO nice!
crystal trench
@wooden light This shows me going fast pretty well
Good video to watch to improve your times <3
lime holly
👏
crystal trench
God that's a good start to today lmao
blazing mango
@tidal token apparently sometimes it can crit
lime holly
nice job
tidal token
man, if a crit is what's needed to sub 2:30, that's something
cerulean sorrel
Yo add up RecycledRug on steam so i have some regular faces to compare to! 😀
blazing mango
it's happened to me twice now
bold falcon
aight joe i gotta beat time alive 2:17
crystal trench
@cerulean sorrel
http://steamcommunity.com/id/tintenfische
tidal token
welp
crystal trench
Gl dude
tidal token
@crystal trench was your sub 2:30 a crit too?
crystal trench
No
slim lintel
I'm finding it really hard to utilize crits on arti, since I have to be so close to use R I have to run a good distance once I notice the crit
open wagon
I will aim to beat yer time Joe. >:T
slim lintel
Also my right click will never crit on a boss but o boy will it constantly crit on a crystal I need to jump with
cerulean sorrel
Just changed my steam username so i dont think its taking the data in yet, aint letting me log in
Yep, only lets me log in with old username
Nice ooneeee
crystal trench
Bro I just summoned beetle queen at 1:50 as merc
Then fucked my preon timing up
Ahhhh
cerulean sorrel
You saving preon for beetle?
cerulean sorrel
Hmm, might give it a shot tomorrow
stone meadow
Only about 22 hours left
chilly trout
@crystal trench do you see me on your leaderboard?
lime holly
Some prefer saving the bfg for beetle
chilly trout
305
lime holly
OUCH
chilly trout
llol same for you
crystal trench
That guy's mean
chilly trout
lol miliseconds off
lime holly
wait what, there's commandos in the leaderboard ?!
crystal trench
Yes
stone meadow
Yeah
lime holly
It's possible to get a time with him ? wow
cerulean sorrel
Steam mobile sucks balls
slim lintel
dat merc at 185
slim lintel
howdy
tidal token
@crystal trench what was that no crit sub 2:30 like? if you don't mind my asking
stone meadow
Do you need to sprint or just walk normally for the crystal hopping
slim lintel
only arti and maybe hunter can sprint when doing it
tidal token
also not sure how crystal hopping would work on huntress, because of how targeting works
slim lintel
arti can only do it if the crystal dies to the fire dot of M1
thick gust
Does this sound normal for you guys?
I hit the tele at 131 and it does the actual warp animation at 148, then I'm in the next stage at 151
it's the animation time that gets me
slim lintel
yep everyone gets it
thick gust
aight, it just feels varied by weird amounts
slim lintel
how much money you have etc effects it a lot
or if you kill enemies while you teleport out
crystal trench
Money at start doesn't
But money afterwards does
Enter with whatever but make sure you're not killing after pressing E to teleport out
stone meadow
You can kill yourself since you don't drop money it's ok
thick gust
Thanks for the info, makes sense then since I'm playin engi
bold falcon
no dude
no way
i spawned beatle at 1:57 and a jellyfish blocked my preon
holy hell im pissee
chilly trout
@slim lintel how do you do Arti man I die in the second world everytime
slim lintel
healing drones blocks my right clicks all the time 
o i uh move around and pray the stone golem doesnt spawn on the hill
lime holly
Don't take them then
slim lintel
I need them to stay alive
chilly trout
that bastard always sniping my ass
slim lintel
and get the healing drone in world 1 and the second one after you spawn the boss in world 2
its nearly impossible to stay alive otherwise
crystal trench
top runs are dependent on character
iforgotwho is probably the fastest art rn
or at least the fastest verified legit art
a lot of the highest ranks are completely cheated though
limber plume
is that the fastest legit run?
chilly trout
well that I've seen
drowsy jetty
that we know of yea
limber plume
huh
chilly trout
the second boss didn't spawn in the exact spot
bold falcon
@crystal trench
chilly trout
he spawned on the 2nd healing drone 😦
limber plume
i did it in 20 mins cause i died
chilly trout
you'll get it
crystal trench
lmfaoo
chilly trout
what character? @limber plume
zenith plinth
i almost got a sub 2, i just died before the teleporter finished :(
limber plume
huntress
fallow breach
first try since last night when I was over 4 min feels good https://i.imgur.com/9kaql1u.png
crystal trench
maybe I should stream prismatic trial runs 
fallow breach
is there a vod or something for one of the top huntress runs?
chilly trout
just got 2:23 with Arti
slim lintel
Tried to get gas/tri blade to work on arti for a while both seems pretty awful
crystal trench
yeah just go drink
slim lintel
My first gameplan I was getting the fireworks and hoping for good rng xD it kinda worked sometimes
fallow breach
is drink the best for most chars?
bold falcon
merc likes dagger
slim lintel
I think the bleed is good for merc but otherwise yeah probably
fallow breach
okay Ive been going dagger on huntress but Idunno if I was really feelin it give me anything
crystal trench
argument to be made with gasoline on huntress if you're lucky
fallow breach
thats also what i thought
slim lintel
I was trying gas out since arti right clicks and the flamethrower kill a lot of things during queen but its just not enough to make up for the movement speed
fallow breach
how does artificer do so well with zero movement abilitieS?
cerulean sorrel
I can never get that 2nd crystal jump right on aeti
slim lintel
dank ass crystal jumps
cerulean sorrel
Arti**
fallow breach
ohhh that makes sense
bold falcon
YO JOE
fallow breach
oh man
chilly trout
sick
crystal trench
at least it's a tie
fallow breach
is that best confirmed time rn
crystal trench
no
cosmic peak
oh no
crystal trench
there's no way to tell what his time is
he's just got the same time alive as my merc run
cosmic peak
oh no Joe, he's rubbing it in
bold falcon
it was blurry when u first uploaded
cause youtube didnt add the other resolutions
i thought the 5 was a 7
rip
cosmic peak
Ouch
bold falcon
sigh we go AGANE
cerulean sorrel
Juice time
slim lintel
I'm glad I tried this trial, I had pretty much written off this gamemode since the first one was just abuse use items with mul-t
fallow breach
same
slim lintel
figuring out you can crystal jump also made me fall in love with it
cerulean sorrel
I like how people are comparing character times and not just overral times, gives another reason to play it
chilly trout
so on the first boss where do you have to stand for him to not laser your ass?
slim lintel
I put my back up to that rock thats next to his spawn so my rightclick+preon doesnt knock me a mile away
tends to make him not use laser too
cerulean sorrel
Walling him at the start seems to work for me for some reason
cosmic peak
I usually hope for no-laser phase
cerulean sorrel
But the rock is also solid
dawn rose
2:15 felt frame perfect and still not top 200
slim lintel
nice pun
cosmic peak
Well, there are cheaters so top200 doesn't mean much now
being in top 10% is still decent
chilly trout
lmao
bold falcon
what the
cosmic peak
shit nice man
slim lintel
nice
bold falcon
😠
crystal trench
HOLY FUCK
stone meadow
Joe you're a legend lol
cosmic peak
LOL
undone rock
gj
cosmic peak
Out of curiosity,
real schooner
yo guys tell me one thing. are there any bugs used to do trials
cosmic peak
does other characters beside mul-t boosts more from the crystal?
crystal trench
depends on if you're ruubi or not
jokes aside
there's an abuse of a game mechanic for this specific trial
otherwise, no
it's just going fast
fallow breach
the huntress thing feels like a bug on the queen
cosmic peak
@real schooner what you want to do is boosting your velocity by crystal explosion
stone meadow
That's how mafia shields work
rancid swift
you guys mind if I post my run?
cosmic peak
go ahead we'll gladly see it
rancid swift
it's not as good as you guys, but i'm still proud of it
stone meadow
I wouldn't be ashamed to post my run if it was 3:40
drowsy jetty
no we'll lynch you
rancid swift
stone meadow
Which is my current commando time
cosmic peak
2:38 is decent man
slim lintel
I want to know how quail jumping interacts with crystal jumping but I can't figure out a setup where a dot kill the first crystal on second stage
rancid swift
so far I haven't seen other people use the big boi drones
cosmic peak
I could hardly get sub3 with hunter
crystal trench
@fallow breach yeah, the way shields work is they only regenerate out of combat
and that particular elite regenerates them on spawn
so yuou're just hitting it right as it spawns
crystal trench
yep
fallow breach
thats cool
crystal trench
jesus christ dude 2:18.06 is insane
stone meadow
Ussually you can't spawn block shields
lime holly
Why is the second crystal so darn hard to break with engineer
stone meadow
But in a seeded run you can do it
bold falcon
bro u mean
cosmic peak
the Back up strat doesn't seem to bad on this vid
crystal trench
DUDE WHEN I SAW 2:11 TIME ALIVE I FUCKIN FLIPPED
I WAS HOWLING
I knew I saved time
but that was fuckin insane
slim lintel
Yeah, thats the real pain
right click crits for days on crystals you need to jump with
never on a boss
cosmic peak
Does anyone know if time survived only counts up to activating TP or until you teleport?
slim lintel
idk whatever it is, it needs to be way more obvious and conveyed
rancid swift
I believe it's when you actually teleport
cosmic peak
cuz I think it'd be so much better if the leaderboard shows the time we see at the end of the runs
stone meadow
I wish prismatic trials were renamed to all-nighter trials
slim lintel
Yeah idk why it uses a different method of timing for the leaderboard
cosmic peak
Not sure if I wanna bother hopoo by pinging him about this
lime holly
great. I only got 5 seconds less because that god damn crystal that never seems to get hit
fallow breach
slide right on into those DM's
slim lintel
put it in feedback and maybe they'll see it
zenith plinth
i've gotten 2:06 alive, but its a 2:13.3 in the menu :(
stone meadow
Hopoo trials because Hopoo got sub 1 second on it
cosmic peak
sub *00.01
fallow breach
hopoo is cheat-scoundrel
rain zenith
admin abuse tbh
cosmic peak
Ouch
slim lintel
no hopoo is just that good at the game
cosmic peak
That hurts
bold falcon
@crystal trench
fallow breach
uhg I have to raid in WoW right now, but I just wanna get sub 2:30 :c
bold falcon
us #7 guild baby 
fallow breach
over on Hyjal?
bold falcon
yep
fallow breach
yee that shits crazy
we're like 'casual' mythic 2 nights 6 hours, so we're like top 1000
bold falcon
gotcha
crystal trench
casual slow run to end off my current session
cosmic peak
How do you do this 'casually'
stone meadow
Ok guys
crystal trench
also, it seems like you can just add 7 seconds to the time alive
and that's your leaderboard time
2:11 went to 2:18, my 2:15 went to 2:22
stone meadow
Next time you wanna determine number of players competing along with
crystal trench
etc
stone meadow
10%
fallow breach
super low-key cash-wall
stone meadow
Do a really slow run , wait a bit , then count
zenith plinth
whats the fastest known ?
crystal trench
1:52 mul-t
cosmic peak
Just create another profile
zenith plinth
so 1:45 alive
zenith plinth
huh
crystal trench
we don't know if anjything above that is or not
similarly we don't know if any merc runs above mine are legit or not
just kinda gotta wait for the leaderboards to stop being full of cheaters
lime holly
1:40 is the time it takes for me to finish the first map
chilly trout
lol
zenith plinth
how do you look at the top global ranks?
cosmic peak
@lime holly What route do you use?
chilly trout
arti is making my wanna die inside
cosmic peak
@zenith plinth Hopoo disabled it for now, cuz cheaters
lime holly
the bfg 3 crystal bullet and dagger one
zenith plinth
i dont even have arti yet, so i've been using MUL-T
ah, i figured thats what happened to begin with
slim lintel
What are you having trouble with?
zenith plinth
is there a video of the 1:52 run?
slim lintel
Ah yeah thats tough
stone meadow
I have a bit of an issue with smooth controls since my W and A keys are busted and not fit for normal gameplay so I rebound to something a little less useful
lime holly
I bump against the ground on the third crystal too. it's disgusting
chilly trout
i keep forgetting to charge my nova up right after i boost
cosmic peak
@bold falcon Have you recorded your 1:52? @zenith plinth wanna see it
damn this channel really could use a mod
slim lintel
with the first crystal I found out right after you jump you can icewall the high crystal before right click + left clickx3 on the lower one
cosmic peak
should have ran for it
slim lintel
it makes it so you only need 3 left click on the high crystal with the right click
makes it a bit more consistant
zenith plinth
i've been recording mine with my nvidia capture, but i dont know what i'd do with it if i actually did super well
i have no video editing software
chilly trout
never even thought the wall could go that far
chilly trout
ye
cosmic peak
@zenith plinth You can upload them on youtube and cut them into parts
chilly trout
do you guys ever get a different beetle spawn area
cosmic peak
It's always the same?
slim lintel
I never have, I've had it replaced with an overloading titan though
cosmic peak
You tied?!
chilly trout
it spawned on 2nd healing drone for me when i was doing good
like i walled his original spawn then boom in a totally different place
slim lintel
wierd
zenith plinth
for MUL-T does the speed of his shift ability change depending on your looking angle?
slim lintel
early access \o/
zenith plinth
thanks you
cosmic peak
Cool thanks
zenith plinth
ah
your route adds ~10 seconds before the teleporter for items that cut alot more than that
slim lintel
damn you melted that beetle
bold falcon
do you wanna know hwy
cosmic peak
so basically wrong management
bold falcon
u guys have no clue why that beatle died so fast
slim lintel
my time on arti would have been so much better but I ran out of all my cd's
zenith plinth
ammo
cosmic peak
Oh...
bold falcon
right as i activate it
if i activated a second later she would have not taken that much dmg
drowsy jetty
👀
bold falcon
err had more hp
zenith plinth
ah
slim lintel
I dont think arti can make it there fast enough to do that
unless I can get a quail crystal jump somehow
slim lintel
I only crit crystals
chilly trout
bold falcon
lol
zenith plinth
whats weird
cosmic peak
That chilld mood of the video
bold falcon
yo @crystal trench wya
zenith plinth
my abnormal one is the one above the healing dron
zenith plinth
they said a 20min afk
chilly trout
i deleted the video to thinking it was correct fuck me sorry for the waste of time
there
cosmic peak
what's that spawn lol
chilly trout
how many hours does everyone have?
bold falcon
80
fallow breach
30
slim lintel
51
stone meadow
I have uh....16, but about 300 hours on RoR 1
chilly trout
i pirated the first one
stone meadow
Haven't had much time for RoR 2
zenith plinth
12 here 😓
stone meadow
I did some itemless runs for RoR 1, and I wanna get into the challenge itch for this community
slim lintel
I haven't enjoyed a game as much as I'm enjoying ror2 in such a long time
fallow breach
I started speedrunning RoR 1, got top 20 and then took a huuuuge break then this game came out
fallow breach
instead of preon?
lime holly
too much rng on a rng platter
lime holly
nah i save the bfg for the beetle
because the beetle spawns more beetle that fucks up turrets AI even more
slim lintel
I hope next patch fixes the turrets giving up on life until they receive punishment
lime holly
but that means I have to stop my turrets from killing everything in map 1, which isn't easy because the enemies are more interested in them than me
I lost a solid 16 seconds due to their killing spree
I had everything else decent
slim lintel
toss your shield over the enemies to protect them lol
lime holly
I did. It didn't work out fast enough
slim lintel
I love that thats a strat you can use though
lime holly
when it did work i finished map 1 at 1:36-8
but when it doesn't i finish at 1:45-8. It's disgusting having to herd the turrets and enemeis
bold falcon
ima give engi some attempts
stone meadow
I'll keep trying with commando
If I can get sub 3 , I'll sleep easy
Then keep pushing for sub 2
lime holly
I'm disgusted by the fact that the teleport doesn't work as long as an external source kills stuff
bold falcon
wait what the fuck my turrets jsut dont do anything
do i have to spawn them after boss spawns
??
bold falcon
ya i do mines
lime holly
2:40 is my best time and i dont think i can do better unless the stars align.. Unless I finish with less hair than I started
bold falcon
wat the fuck
turret shsooting titan
everytihngi s great
beatle walks close
ABORT KILL BEATLE
lime holly
YEAH, this is why it's infuriating
You have to herd enemies away while trying to shoot the titan down and chugging C4 then once dead you have to still stay alive, press the portal and shield the enemies to avoid losing 10 to 15 seconds because of your turrets
i'd recommend placing the turrets just in the corner where the ramp starts, it's a lil curved to hide the portal from the turret
bold falcon
2:27 engi
eh
is okay i guess
could probably get like 2:15 tops with some optimization
zenith plinth
i got 2 weird spawn beetles back to back
chilly trout
feelsbadman
zenith plinth
but im trying out chads strategy, so im not doing so hotr
bold falcon
2:24 engi ill just leave it at that
drowsy jetty
engi sounds so infuriating to speedrun as lmao
zenith plinth
only now am i forgetting to switch to rapid fire on beetle
lime holly
Engi is infuriating to run with indeed
his tools are so rng
the second crystal is a nightmare to get
because you'll try and do a feww volley at it while moving, first one is too far, only 2 hits, second one, 4 hits, third one 8 hits, and SOMEHOW you still need 3 mines.
summer moat
Or you get pro and learn the arc's :3, but even then the bouncing can mess up xd
lime holly
It always messes up and that darn scalie keeps blocking my shots
lime holly
it's still a darn stanky scalie
summer moat
Fair :v
lime holly
And map 2 is a nightmare with that fall damage
I have to pray i dont get sniped by enemies
summer moat
Really? The only time that gets close for me is the 1st stage
The crystal jumps brinng me to like 20 hp
And then if a golem targets me i have to dodge or lose the run, and dodging is basically a loss
lime holly
worse is if i get too close to the crystal. It bumps me so high ffsss
zenith plinth
man i cannot make the 1:52 way at all
summer moat
Ya, the third crystal in the first stage, i walk off the cliff instead of jumping, it sends me right onto the shop with AP rounds
lime holly
It sends me at the shop if lucky, but most of the time its wee higher and just before. >:ccc
or i bump into the small patch of ground and lose half the momentum
summer moat
Just before is fine too, the speed from the crystal goes away after a bit
Leaving you to sprint
The worst part for me is buying the items the second possible, cause the tri tip dagger is behind the energy drink
And if i press too early then i lose
lime holly
the dagger is really poorly placed
chilly trout
lime holly
and worse is that you have to get it.
chilly trout
I'm happy for now
summer moat
claps
lime holly
blazing claps
lime holly
It's just frustration
summer moat
Its kind of a process for me, when i fail i press esc, return to menu, and start right over XD
lime holly
I probably had a reset rate of 0.8/m on average.
summer moat
I just look at the numbers and get either disappointed or hopefull
lime holly
Like, lot of reset due to bad stuff
bold falcon
@crystal trench
lime holly
like i blow the first crystal.. and its just a fart
summer moat
Yup
zenith plinth
so using your 1:52 strat chad
i cant quite get your level 1
the movement is killing me, causing a 20 second time loss
chilly trout
what character @zenith plinth
zenith plinth
mult
chilly trout
lament tendon
Can someone do a quick rundown of how to do these prismatic trials for me?
They seem pretty cool
zenith plinth
im just struggling with the movement? because by the time you get your first item im like 10 seconds behind, and then 20 seconds behind by when you activate the teleporter
so, you're planted into a seeded run, where everything is the same everytime
and your goal is to complete it as fast as possible
every chest you see the first go around, will stay there the next, and have the same items
summer moat
@zenith plinth are you boosting with the crystal explosions?
slim lintel
I don't really get too mad, I've called that upper crystal a bitch once or twice though
zenith plinth
the first one, definitely, the second one on the other hand, really gives mostly vertical velocity, so its not too impactful
summer moat
The crystal on top, usually the third killed, is used as a boost for the shops
Idk routes for other chars and how they are different, but id guess the boosts are whats getting you
If i could see your run i could help more
Or maybe there is a movement trick with sniping?, i read about sniping and instantly using the dash to kill crystals or something
slim lintel
nah my arti run I jump off the lower crystal to the shops and kill the upper crystal as I'm flying
sometimes one of the m1's miss and its rewind time
summer moat
I should probably try other chars, but i love engie too much xd
Ranged seems better for crystal clearing, but the turrets kill bosses so fast
slim lintel
I can not get in to commando, in the normal game or the trials. Everything about him feels so underwhelming
fallow breach
the lack of movement abilities scares me on those fun characters
summer moat
Lack of movement is made up for insane dps from turrets. and a shield
fallow breach
yeah but
summer moat
Also bustling fungus healing stations XD
fallow breach
i like going fast
summer moat
Ya
lime holly
the shield is useless in trial.. just like the fungus.
summer moat
Ya
lime holly
the shield is only useful to stop turrets from stopping the teleport
summer moat
Yup
fallow breach
fungus on the turrets is pretty swell sounding
summer moat
Engie has his downsides, but imo the upsides are much better
You just have to acomadate some of the downsides
Like the turrets killing and extending the tele time
summer moat
Put turrets closer to what you want them to hit
lime holly
they'll still focus on that one beetle that goes to it
summer moat
And bait the other mobs towards you, and into a shield to stop them from dying when tp is popped
It works for me, tho occassionally golems wanna kill my turrets instead of me
lime holly
the golem always focus my turrets, like, it's very often i lose one of the two too.. which means it's reset time
summer moat
Do you put turrets down before the colossus spawns?
slim lintel
I really hope they add a restart button you can slapp to just go right back to the start without having to do all that menuing
summer moat
Cause the boss targets me
lime holly
I'm never afraid of the beam, because it's always targeting me for the windup, then it goes on a turret
summer moat
What i do is activate teleporter, run over and spam mines on the spawn point, then i put my turrets down and run back sheilding the tele
And the boss always goes for me and sometimes kills me
lime holly
the one thing i'm bad at too is getting the overloaded shield. It always sits at 60%, can't reliably get lower.
summer moat
(Putting turrets down the moment he starts coming out of the geound, regardless of mine charges)
Overloaded sheild?
You mean the beetle queen sheild?
lime holly
yee
mental badger
whats ur best time with the engi?
lime holly
2:40
lime holly
i'm always losing time on crystal 2 and due to turrets killing stuff
mental badger
u guys go for the preon?
lime holly
yeh
mental badger
ah ok
fallow breach
yuh
lime holly
always bfg
mental badger
cant get anything sub 1:50 on mul-t anymore
summer moat
@mental badger you kinda need the preon imo, it makes the beetle die in a couple seconds
lime holly
It leaves the beetle at a few hundred hp if you caught it just the moment you can hit her
summer moat
You know whats sad tho, it seems like you can barely cut any more time off of a run, and you are still only around 270's ;-;
mental badger
I imagine most if not all of the 1-100 are mul-t perfect runs
or maybe huntress idk
summer moat
Or cheaters :P
mental badger
pre nerf dmg and speed mul-t
summer moat
They seem to exist at the moment, i've heard
summer moat
Yup
mental badger
forgot wat the cheat program is called
summer moat
I have no idea, never ganna use it so
mental badger
oh its the trainer
that would shave off atleast 30+ seconds
dunno about the negative number ones tho
lime holly
Cheat engine kiddies
good riddance the global leaderboard went away, it was adverting malware
slim lintel
Yeah the special stage events can happen in trials for some reason
blazing mango
whew
honestly dunno what to do differently with huntress if I don't crit first boss with preon I typically end up around 2:30
urban hawk
how do you see the top of the leader board
fallow breach
be there
chilly trout
be there or be square
wooden light
Huntress has to lol
chilly trout
@tribal ice well you can instantly get the second boss to half health
blazing mango
as huntress you use your r as the boss spawns
if you hit the boss before the shield regens it automatically goes to half health
blazing mango
i think arti uses ice wall
tribal ice
ok makes sense
damn, i think then i can strip alot of time off my runs
ill try that now :D thanks
blazing mango
tribal ice
this freaking laser on the first boss....
quasi jewel
use engineer and quickly set up turrets and mines where he spawns. then just use the sheild next to your turrets and you can take him down in seconds
also on stage 2 go back and over the bridge. destroy that crystal and the two right by the portal. engineer seems to be my go-to here and similar strat here.
livid vine
how are people completing trials in less then 3 min?
wooden light
By being good
Well, I'm bad and still manage 2:40
So by trying is a better way to phrase it.
livid vine
i geuss
livid vine
i got to at least 3min and 53 sec
wooden light
As what character? Most characters can easily go faster than that
Huntress has a bit of a harder time, though.
wooden light
Mult can go under 2 mins
He's the fastest character
Well, the fastest for this trial anyway.
merry flume
what's the trial this seed?
fallow breach
https://i.imgur.com/PeWxJkZ.png sub 2:30 feels actually impossible, but its obviously not...
flat vine
@spiral chasm We are close. Have you tried restarting ?
honest cape
lol that icon
fallow breach
the best 1st TP i can get is around 1:22 uhhgg
flat vine
Who are you playing ?
fallow breach
huntress
flat vine
Huntress is tricky on this trial
fallow breach
she feels the easiest to get a moderate time
but her ability to just stop targetting the boss
fucks me lmao
fallow breach
i guess ill record till i get an okay run and see what im doing wrong
flat vine
nice one
chilly trout
I wish I recorded because I like insta killed the first boss
chilly trout
yeah and with fully charged nova
flat vine
Have you tried using Preon on the Beetle queen ?
chilly trout
everyone says to but the beetle is already half health with fighting it
