tough belfry
#

how would it not help

#

it's a chance to not take damage

rotund sierra
#

it doesnt block bleed, poison or fire

delicate grove
#

doesn't it?

#

pretty sure i remember it blocking fire ticks

jaunty olive
#

Some cheater has to test it

#

Why would Topaz_Brooch work if barrier counts as hp now?

delicate grove
#

or just get a single bear and then get hit by a fire attack

jaunty olive
#

Not that, I meant with ethereal

#

If you get hit and it gets blocked, is the challenge still active?

delicate grove
#

idk i think the current trial has a bear somewhere though

tough belfry
#

i know blindly taking from wiki is bad but ????

humble rapids
#

bears can block individual ticks

mighty lion
#

Trying to get the ethereal achievement for mercenary, anyone got a good build from this run?

azure schooner
#

there's a guide for every trial

tough belfry
mighty lion
#

you saints

raw oar
#

Are you on PC @mighty lion?

#

@jaunty olive Topaz still works for ethereal runs because the challenge is to not drop below 100% HP. Topaz's additional health/shield counts as more than 100% HP, so any damage it tanks that doesn't drop you under 100% keeps the run alive.

fleet oar
#

YOOOOO JUST GOT THE MERC ACHIEVEMENT ON NINTENDO SWITCH

#

The topaz trick works!

humble mist
#

I might just have to try that out than haha Topaz_Brooch

rustic quail
#

its so f-ing hard man

#

i been trying for hours

jaunty olive
#

Hours?

#

With or without glass?

rustic quail
#

the primatic trail is by default with glass

rustic quail
#

im losing my mind

#

why is this so difficult

#

compared to all other achievements

fleet oar
#

Wait it's with glass by default?

delicate grove
#

always has been

jaunty olive
#

So every trial on pc has glass?

#

Or just this one?

delicate grove
#

ignore me i was memeing

jaunty olive
#

You did the thing

fleet oar
#

Can't believe this is an official emote in the official ROR2 Discord.
Love this place

lucid bobcat
fleet oar
#

Best items kappa

frail perch
#

lol do those work effectively in conjunction?

shut willow
#

Crowdfunder is the strongest equipment without any setup, crown works incredibly good on commando

grand oxide
#

can you still get infinite spinal tonic with GestureOfTheDrowned

fleet oar
#

I hate items that even have the possibility of making you lose money

shut willow
#

1st it requires 1 gesture and 4 fuels, 2nd ewww GestureOfTheDrowned

grand oxide
#

mul-t go brrrrrrrrrrrr

fleet oar
#

Oh dude I love Mul-T

#

He's like Commando but better

grand oxide
#

kinda?

fleet oar
#

Not to say that I dislike Commando or anything, I just prefer Mul-T!

grand oxide
#

hes more in your face than commando

silent birch
#

3 fuels @shut willow

fleet oar
#

2 equipments go BRRRRRR

grand oxide
#

his on hit is super good

silent birch
#

2 fuels has 1-2s cd iirc

grand oxide
#

impending doom

delicate grove
#

perma tonic is so 2019

#

its all about razorhellfire now

shut willow
#

lol, survivors are different, only with saw mult can beat commando in procs, commando also have more abilitys to dodge stuff

grand oxide
#

yah, id like mul-t more if they buffed his other skills because the only thing that i feel is worth carrying is either double nailgun or nailgun saw

azure schooner
#

also his range is amazing

grand oxide
#

mul-t?

azure schooner
#

commando

grand oxide
#

i was gonna say

shut willow
#

only scrap laucher diserves some tweaks

#

everything else is fine

grand oxide
#

rebar puncher still not as ggood as it should be

shut willow
#

its good

azure schooner
#

it's okay

shut willow
#

it works as a back-up tool

grand oxide
#

it cant proc reliably because it takes 20 minutes to shoot again

shut willow
#

and its insanely good in AAO

#

Cus its not your main source of damage

#

nail-gun and saw works great in this regard

grand oxide
#

yah but i like switching only equipment because if i need my other one i dont want a sniper in my hand if im 5 feet away from boss

shut willow
#

rebar is when you need to run away while also shooting monsters since it can be charged while running

#

its insanely good in AAO cus you can hold your shot and be prepared for anything

azure schooner
#

you could also make a fun sniper build by stacking crowbars, guillotines and atgs

grand oxide
#

i only like it for wisps

fleet oar
#

Double nail-gun is the way to go for me

grand oxide
#

same

fleet oar
#

Also I wish Engineer had a different primary because that charging one feels too "static"
I do love Engi tho because he hella reminds me of Engi from tf2

grand oxide
#

i used to run saw nail gun but i don't think its worth the risk of getting next to a boss and since the his shift doesnt go through all enemies you can get trapped easily

#

yah engi's primary not that great but its got alot of aoe

jaunty olive
#

Razorwire + Rex = DrizzleGasm

shut willow
#

1000% dps always worth it

#

with 1.0 proc chance

azure schooner
#

saw is good early game but then later on it becomes more and more risky

shut willow
#

literally the only thing that can beat commando in procing items

grand oxide
#

i dont know how you'd be able to implement a new primary for engi because if they just gave him like a commando gun or something it would ffeel to similar

fleet oar
#

Maybe a simple shotgun-like primary

grand oxide
#

and ive heard someone talk about a missle primary but we already god thermal harpoons

azure schooner
#

maybe a laser or something

grand oxide
#

i would frickin love a shotgun primary

fleet oar
#

That could definitely work as a good solution for people who don't want to charge their primaries

grand oxide
#

that shit would keep me glued to my computer

shut willow
#

just give him lazers what his mobile turrets have, it would fit to his playstile

tardy geode
#

@shut willow are you talking about the saw?

shut willow
#

yes

tardy geode
#

Saw is super shit wdym

jaunty olive
#

Mobile turrets, but why?

shut willow
#

its not

tardy geode
#

it is

#

you're melee with it

shut willow
#

and?

fleet oar
#

Question is: should it have infinite ammo like Commando's primary but slower firing speed (obviously), or have like 6 ammo that recharge over time? (Kinda like that lunar item that replaces your primary or like artificer's)

grand oxide
#

thats why i dont use them

jaunty olive
#

Send a clip of it kicking ass

tardy geode
#

and...melee is trash when you have ranged options

grand oxide
#

yes

tardy geode
#

the only person who wants to be melee is merc lol

shut willow
#

1000% dps works fine for me

tardy geode
#

okay then play artificer

grand oxide
#

the problem isnt with the saw

tardy geode
#

and use flamethrower

shut willow
#

if you die a lot with it, its your issue

grand oxide
#

its that he doesnt have a way to reliably escape a bad situatuion

tardy geode
#

lol.

fleet oar
#

Also King how do you play Engi? Cuz I really wanna get into him

shut willow
#

Yes? Flametrower is super good

#

4400% dmg

tardy geode
#

Imagine being this ignorant. Saw bad and so are you my dude

grand oxide
#

i run harpoons stationary turrets and spider mines

tardy geode
#

DPS doesn't mean anything when elder lemarian pukes all over you and kills you because you are melee with low mobility

shut willow
#

looks like your issue

tardy geode
#

there's a reason why nobody uses saw

fleet oar
#

What if I still have to unlock those 2 alternatives, how can I play him with default stuff?

tardy geode
#

@fleet oar you can just choose what loadout you want, you aren't forced to use the alts

grand oxide
#

its called turteling i believe

tardy geode
#

It's not "my issue" it's the saw's issue for being bad

fleet oar
#

I still didn't unlock them tho

tardy geode
#

you're the only one who seems to think saw is best lol.

grand oxide
#

its when you place down turrets in a small area and then bubble shield and surround it with mines

#

its the default playstyle

shut willow
#

if you rly saying that "x" item is bad because you cant use it, its definetly your issue

azure schooner
#

it's boring

grand oxide
#

its a little more campy

#

thats why i run spider mines and harpoons

tardy geode
#

The saw being bad isn't a me exclusive opinion, it's a large majority opinion.

#

And that's for a reason

jaunty olive
#

Is it?

grand oxide
#

mul-t wasnt built for melee. you need skills to complement eachother

shut willow
#

and majority thinks Crowdfunder is bad and what?

tardy geode
#

But leave it up to anime profile picture to go counter culture and call everyone who follows that to just be bad and uneducated lol

shut willow
#

theres lotta idiots

grand oxide
#

transport mmode or whatever its called gets stuck on big enemies

#

i dont think saw is bad

tardy geode
#

It's bad compared to the alternatives. It's not just "lol saw bad" it's "why take saw when you could take <x>"

grand oxide
#

and by no means is it worse than theother ones

tardy geode
#

It is though lol

azure schooner
#

saw is okay, scrap launcher is garbage

tardy geode
#

"okay" means bad

fleet oar
#

its when you place down turrets in a small area and then bubble shield and surround it with mines
@grand oxide
Pretty nice

shut willow
#

other options would even compare to saw in tearms of dmg and procing items

azure schooner
#

pretty sure this dude is trolling tho

shut willow
#

So pls, stop spraying nonsense

grand oxide
#

yah turtling funny but boring

tardy geode
#

@shut willow other options also allow you to be at range. The game isn't just hurr durr muh dps

grand oxide
#

the meta builds are double nailgun and nailgun saw

jaunty olive
#

Do saws work well against ImpOverlord ?

grand oxide
#

probs not

tardy geode
#

sounds like a great way to get pounded by his melee attack

shut willow
#

you kill monsters -> they die -> kill monsters that fast so they cant do anything

#

also it can be used while sprinting

tardy geode
#

-> you die from elder lemarian one shot because you're melee

fleet oar
#

Mul-T also has a long range beam attack

shut willow
#

just take 1 stun granade or circle him

fleet oar
#

I used it once

grand oxide
#

True no tank is gonna survive an elite
either

jaunty olive
#

Is it safe?

#

You can get pretty close to him and be fine

fleet oar
#

With Commando or Mercenary or Loader you ARE the stun grenade

grand oxide
#

Yes but horrible close range

jaunty olive
#

But DAMAGE

tardy geode
#

@shut willow you're literally explaining why the saw is bad and you don't realize it. Other survivors can play keep away or dodge or go invuln better than mul-t can. Mul-t also has high cooldowns. Therefor, saw is bad. Why use saw when you could just play merc or loader

grand oxide
#

Yes but no escape if stuff turns sour

jaunty olive
#

Kill them before they can kill you and whatnot

shut willow
#

and other survivors wont have same dps and proc chanse

tardy geode
#

when your justification is "just stun and move" that explains why saw is bad

#

their dps is probably higher because they don't have to spend so much time avoiding because their kits do it better naturally lmao

shut willow
#

nah, its already your issue

fleet oar
#

@shut willow you're literally explaining why the saw is bad and you don't realize it. Other survivors can play keep away or dodge or go invuln better than mul-t can. Mul-t also has high cooldowns. Therefor, saw is bad. Why use saw when you could just play merc or loader
@tardy geode
Because 2 equipments and nail-guns go BRRRERRE

grand oxide
#

It’s not all about max dps and max proc. If you can’t get outta dodge quickly than you just die

shut willow
#

because merc and loader wont beat saw dps?

grand oxide
#

Because they have reliable getaway options

tardy geode
#

they literally will beat saw dps

#

because their kits are better suited for melee

#

also, can't dps when you're dead 🙂

grand oxide
#

And no it will not be our problem because we do not use saw

shut willow
#

no? merc literally have 2nd worst dps output out of all characters

fleet oar
#

Long-story short: get a bunch of teddy bears, plates and you're good to go

tardy geode
#

man looked at a calculator and thought that translates 1:1 to in game

grand oxide
#

I framed baby it’s called sustain. If the character can’t sustain being in combat than you die. Merc just slams his keyboard when you scared and you won’t take damage

tardy geode
#

I bet merc dps in a run is higher simply because he has more mobility than mul-t

shut willow
#

while saw dps only can be beaten up by rex, even tho rex wont compare to it after mult will get some proc items

tardy geode
#

anime profile pictures be like

grand oxide
#

We aren’t talking about dps we already said dps isn’t everything

#

If you can’t get dodge attacks at close range reliably you are not a good melee character

shut willow
#

thats why you can sprint while using saw

#

fine 4 me

tardy geode
#

imagine thinking sprint=iframes or mobility

grand oxide
#

Every character can sprint. It’s not a reliable option to get away

tardy geode
#

literally everyone can sprint lmfao

shut willow
#

not everyone can attack while sprinting

#

saw mult can

delicate grove
#

why bother discussing characters when you can just get razorwire and hellfire tincture on any character and just win

tardy geode
#

this man is hopeless

grand oxide
#

And that’s somehow better than Merc’s abilities?

tardy geode
#

@shut willow enjoy your rainstorn difficulty mul-t runs I guess

delicate grove
#

as if difficulty matters

tardy geode
#

? Are you saying it doesn't or that Saw Mul-t is bad on every difficulty

shut willow
#

@fierce zodiac can you pls provide some math

grand oxide
#

?

delicate grove
#

the armor and regen do not matter in the long run

tardy geode
#

Enemies get more hp with higher difficulty

#

do more damage too, no?

grand oxide
#

Like we said before dps isn’t everything and math doesn’t apply to escape skills

tardy geode
#

Those things absolutely matter

shut willow
#

well yea, just lemme use saw to kill them faster🙄

tardy geode
#

The point is that you don't bruh.

grand oxide
#

You just die

#

Because transport mode isn’t reliable

tardy geode
#

There's a reason why Loader has shield passive and merc has iFrames

shut willow
#

sprinting is

tardy geode
#

lmfao....

grand oxide
#

Every character has sprinting like we said before

tardy geode
#

on second though, enjoy your drizzle difficulty mul-t runs @shut willow

grand oxide
#

And no it is not reliable it is too slow

shut willow
#

and not every can attack while sprinting

#

how many times do i need to repeat this?

fierce zodiac
#

And there's a reason why MUL-T has two stunning abilities, the highest health in the game, two equipments, and one of the three survivors who can sprint while using M1.

shut willow
#

if you die its your own fault

grand oxide
#

Because maybe other characters have range and don’t need to be able to sprint and fire

#

It’ll be your own fault because we don’t use saw

fierce zodiac
#

@tardy geode, how much do you want to bet that no matter what survivor you pick; I'll always outpace your survivor's damage and lowest death with my MUL-T.
We can even do ShareSuite, so no one falls behind.

tardy geode
#

Imagine equating attacking while sprinting to iFrames and grappling hook+shield passive

shut willow
#

can i watch it?

tardy geode
#

@fierce zodiac Anime profile pictures are rising up I see.

fierce zodiac
#

I am equating all of the things I listed with I-Frames and Grappling Hook + Shield Passive.

#

So, are you not challenging my MUL-T?

lucid bobcat
#

the hell is wrong with anime profile pictures

grand oxide
#

God doesn’t even know

tardy geode
#

They're all the same people lmao ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

fleet oar
#

I'm just happy to be bere :)

fierce zodiac
#

Fitting for you to run away, with your tail tucked behind your back as soon as you get challenged.

grand oxide
#

True, they make arguments that they can’t win and then argue till the day they die that they have never lost

fierce zodiac
#

How unfortunate.

shut willow
#

when it comes to actually play the game, why you running away like a chicken?

viral drum
#

What has happened here

lucid bobcat
#

I mean, sure, crescendo's argument isn't solid, but christ

shut willow
#

idiots said that saw is bad

grand oxide
#

They say mil t is a good melee survivor

tardy geode
#

Man that was some top tier cringe. I didn't even respond to you lmfao

fleet oar
#

Idk about you all but I enjoy playing whoever I want, whenever I want, with whatever loadout on drizzle and with Command

It's just the best way for me to have dumb fun :)

tardy geode
#

You challenged someone who didn't respond to you and then claim victory when ignored. Sounds like anime profile picture to me lmao

fierce zodiac
#

MUL-T is a great survivor.
I have proven it for 4 months straight, to whoever challenged my MUL-T; the only ones who were able to beat my MUL-T is through Shaped Glass.

grand oxide
#

Yup

green steeple
#

Hey wait I have an anime pfp

viral drum
#

Mr rollerblades is pretty good

fleet oar
#

Didn't know vagrants came from anime

green steeple
#

Also merc is fast plus automatically gets two jumps

fleet oar
#

Tentacles I guess

green steeple
#

So you don’t need to search for a hopoo feather

grand oxide
#

Why would we want to challenge you? We weren’t saying your mul t is bad

fierce zodiac
#

Then let's get into a ring.
All you claim is that MUL-T is a bad survivor because you're comparing them to Loader and Mercenary.
Yet, all you saw was good Loader and Mercenary players. Have you seen a good MUL-T player?

fleet oar
#

Speaking of Merc's 2 jumps:
I discovered that Wax Quail affects both of his jumps instead of just the grounded one which is sick

lucid bobcat
#

just that mul-t isn't the end-all best survivor

tardy geode
#

SO CRINGE LOL

fierce zodiac
#

I concur, @lucid bobcat.

grand oxide
#

We were saying that mult does not have a reliable get away skill so you get stuck but apparently it’s to hard for you to understand

lucid bobcat
#

"have you ever seen a good mul-t player?"
that's kinda the point lmao

green steeple
#

MUL-T is honestly not very good, his attacks are eh

fleet oar
#

But he is fun

fierce zodiac
#

In fact, I am so confident in my MUL-T that I can give you all the legendary/red items that drop.

green steeple
#

And I know thats going to anger some people

fleet oar
#

In fact, I am so confident in my MUL-T that I can give you all the legendary/red items that drop.
@fierce zodiac
WOAH

grand oxide
#

Yes one of my favourite charecters

fierce zodiac
#

I tend to do no legendary/red runs anyway, they are just extra.

delicate grove
#

give me desk plant if one drops pls

green steeple
#

Honestly all of the survivors are good except for Rex

fierce zodiac
#

I got you with the Desk Plant.

grand oxide
#

Once again nobody said that your mul t was bad

fleet oar
#

And I know thats going to anger some people
@green steeple
Not me because I honestly agree
In the late game I never find myself using his abilities other than his primary

grand oxide
#

True

lucid bobcat
#

we're just saying mul-t is worse than almost everyone else

green steeple
#

He just feels really slow

fleet oar
#

True!

green steeple
#

But merc and commando are really fast

shut willow
#

some clown said that saw is, doesnt change much

grand oxide
#

He is slow and feels like he is ice skating or something

viral drum
#

I just play as anyone really

green steeple
#

Yeah

fleet oar
#

I prioritize goat hooves with Mul-T

lucid bobcat
#

I prioritize choosing any other survivor

viral drum
#

Got back into the game since new update and all and been having some lovely runs 😄

green steeple
#

I prioritize energy drinks with merc

fleet oar
#

I prioritize choosing any other survivor
@lucid bobcat
Lmao damn

viral drum
#

Why did it go emoji.

green steeple
#

It just does

viral drum
#

Swear that smile is so cursed.

shut willow
#

saw already deals shit-ton of dmg, just have some survive-ability items and mobility ones and you good to go

tardy geode
#

Literally nobody said that you can't do good with Mul-T. We are just saying that compare Sawblade Mul-T to another survivor and you will have more success with another survivor than with saw mul-t.

shut willow
#

shields works absolutly great on mul-t

tardy geode
#

The game is mostly about skill of the player and luck of items then survivor choice anyways, but that doesn't mean survivor choice isn't a factor.

grand oxide
#

Not really tiger he would need a new skill entirely for the melee route to be viable. Transport mode isn’t that good

tardy geode
#

And when given all the other options in the game, there's no solid reason to take saw Mul-T

#

@shut willow shield works good on everyone.

shut willow
#

the reason is dmg and procing items

lucid bobcat
#

I want iframes, I play merc. I want one-shots, I play loader. I want range, I play huntress. I want risk, I play rex. I want memes, I play engineer. I want misery, I play acrid.

fierce zodiac
#

At the start, sure; MUL-T doesn't feel competent or rewarding.
Although, he works in the same case as Commando but even better.
As every other item works better on him than any other survivor, exception to Bustling Fungus, Crowbar, Alien Head and Brainstalks.
All the reason being that Power-saw is the most damaging ability in the game with 1,000% damage a second, 100% damage with 10 ticks. Grabbing a single Harvester's Scythe with full critical strike already nets you 80 health a second, just a single Harvester's Scythe. And that's just one item.

green steeple
#

MUL-T is slow

grand oxide
#

Nobody asked how to build mul-t

shut willow
#

due to mul-t highes hp pool, he benefits from them the most

tough belfry
#

can you go to some other channel to discuss this shit please

tardy geode
#

And you are still slow and have no mobility, congrats

grand oxide
#

Yup

fierce zodiac
#

Then you have the two equipment with MUL-T.
MUL-T can go full Spinel Tonic by two Spinel Tonic and 1 Gesture of the Drowned. No one else can achieve this type of build.

#

Yes because slow = lose.

green steeple
#

Slow does = lose

grand oxide
#

That’s why mul t is bad

fierce zodiac
#

That's like stating Engineer = lose because he has no mobility tools.

#

That literally makes no sense.

grand oxide
#

He has range

tardy geode
#

^^^^^^^

fierce zodiac
#

MUL-T has range. MUL-T has the strongest ability in the game with Power-saw.

grand oxide
#

That what makes him good he never goes close to enemies in the first place so why would you need a mobility skill on engineer

tardy geode
#

Mul-T's ranged abilities are not equal to Engineer's ranged abilities.

shut willow
#

can you just play the game and see the results on your screen?

tardy geode
#

Yeah the results that are better when not using saw mul-t

grand oxide
#

They still don’t hear why they are bad mobility on a melee character is a necessity

fierce zodiac
#

That is true while Engineer is far better suited to range compared to MUL-T.
MUL-T is far better suited to Melee than Engineer. Then MUL-T becomes far better suited to a damage dealer compared to any other survivor.

#

Mobility is not everything in this game, I don't understand this concept.

fleet oar
#

Guys just use beam + saw
Smh 4heads

grand oxide
#

Because engineer doesn’t have a melee ability even if they gave him on nobody would use it because he is not suited for close range

viral drum
#

Oh hello again bois

shut willow
#

you dont need mobility when everything dies in 1 touch

fleet oar
#

Absolutely no middle ground between range and dps, new meta

tardy geode
#

Mobility is not everything in this game, I don't understand this concept.

viral drum
#

And ladies if there is any

green steeple
#

You can’t kill something in one touch with MUL-T

tardy geode
#

Exactly what I would expect from someone who thinks dps is everything

#

They are both very important and lacking one so majorly is a big deal

#

especially when you're lacking the mobility and you are melee

grand oxide
#

Like imp overlord vs mult saw doesn’t work at all but works on other melee characters because they have mobility

green steeple
#

Mobility IS everything in the game. With imp overlord you have to run away

grand oxide
#

Exactly

green steeple
#

You can’t kill imp overlord in one hit.

shut willow
#

saw work very good on imp overloard, just let him melee you and while he stuck in his animation saw him

#

how that could be difficult?

green steeple
#

It takes a couple of hits, and you need a ranged attack

grand oxide
#

The man tried defending engineer mobile turrets and commandos grenades yesterday

fierce zodiac
#

While MUL-T is suited for close ranged, with two abilities that can stun enemies.
His M2, the second best crowd control tool in the game as it has two stunning opportunities totaling to 2 seconds, only rivaling against Mercenary's Utility skill which is 3 seconds of stun. Although, the big difference between the two is that MUL-T's stunning ability is in M2, not utility which means Backup Magazine is better.
His Utility skill also stuns, although not scaling damage compared to Loader, it has its fair share of damage. Although, the most important part is his armor given in Transport Mode; allowing him to run away or close the distance in a fashion that is not in any other survivor which is tanking.

shut willow
#

whats wrong with granades

#

explain

grand oxide
#

They are unreliable and don’t stun

#

They don’t explode on hit

#

As far as I know

shut willow
#

they removes commandos main issue (lack of AoE), they deal neat dmg

#

While sup fire can be on your m1 with 1 Stun_Grenade

grand oxide
#

Why tf would a ranged character need aoe

fierce zodiac
#

For crowd?

green steeple
#

MUL-T is bad. MUL-T will die from imp overlord before you even get to attack.

grand oxide
#

Ranged character need stun more than aoe

fierce zodiac
#

Huntress has AOE, Rex has AOE, Engineer has AOE. MUL-T has AOE.

green steeple
#

Rex isn’t that good

fierce zodiac
#

Literally every ranged survivor has AOE except Commando. His grenades solve this.

shut willow
#

you as commando literally hug monsters to avoid damage fall-of

grand oxide
#

Unreliable

shut willow
#

if you sniping monsters as commando thats not how you play him

grand oxide
#

When did I say that I did

#

I run the damn shotgun I’m not far away

#

Grenade isn’t even that good it doesn’t explode on contact

shut willow
#

and how does fixing your main issue is "unreliable"

#

Thats complete nonsense

grand oxide
#

?

#

Because in a flash if somethings coming from behind you can hit r to stun them with grenade you can’t

#

It’s more reliable as In you can depend on it

shut willow
#

how it would help with crowds?

#

Its your main problem as commando early on, granades fixes that

fierce zodiac
#

His slide and roll can run away from something that is coming from behind you. He has other skills other than R.

shut willow
#

while sup fire becomes your m1 with Stun_Grenade

grand oxide
#

Because there is a little thing called moving your mouse left and right and then all of a sudden all the enemies are stunned

#

Ez getaway

shut willow
#

instead of just throwing granade and kill them?

fierce zodiac
#

All Suppressive Fire does is 10% extra damage from your M1, can stun every hit, but has a long cooldown of 8 seconds.
During your Suppressive Fire, you cannot use your M1; so what separates it from M1 and itself? Just long range, that is it.

shut willow
#

commando already 2nd best at procs, just take a beutifull Stun_Grenade

fierce zodiac
#

I haven't played Commando in awhile, how much times can you proc Stun Grenade with M1 without any attack speed?

#

In 10 seconds?

grand oxide
#

It’s a different play style in which you have a reliable tool to stun enemies and deal consistent damage. Grenade is not consistent because if you miss or if the enemy walks the other direction then you have to wait for cooldown

fierce zodiac
#

The cooldown of Grenade is 4 seconds.

shut willow
#

granade have 5 sec cooldown

fierce zodiac
#

Can get two grenade slots from 1 use of Suppressive Fire.

grand oxide
#

Your point?

shut willow
#

that granades are great?

fierce zodiac
#

What's the point of Suppressive Fire?
When you can get Stun Grenades.

grand oxide
#

You don’t understand. It’s consultancy. It’s the fact that you can whip out sup fire whenever you need the stun or long range damage

#

What part of this don’t you understand

shut willow
#

why you at long range as commando?

fierce zodiac
#

That it doesn't solve Commando's biggest issue? And that it's his crowd clearing.

grand oxide
#

We are talking about base characters here stun grenades are not going to stun every single time you throw a grenade

fierce zodiac
#

Stun Grenade to M1, not Grenade.

grand oxide
#

God all you anime profile picture people are the same

shut willow
#

stun is to m1

grand oxide
#

Still unreliable

fierce zodiac
#

Having to resort to insults. How childish.

grand oxide
#

It’s not a on demand stun

shut willow

Does console ever change its prismatic trial artifacts?

woke up late

humble rapids

is there a point to doing trials atm

elfin plinth
#

ethereal

#

and scythe

frail perch
#

They are a fun and dynamic way to challenge yourself

#

The fact that there's so much consistency from run to run creates a framework against which you can test yourself

#

It allows you to experiment with different ideas and see what works and doesn't work. Just like a scientist has to isolate variables, prismatic trials allow you to grow by isolating variables.

humble rapids
#

thats boring though

not sure about now but for me trials were great for learning about bosses

No problemo

#

If you go to court for possession of crystal meth, is it a prismatic trial?

green steeple
#

Oh my fucking god

placid grotto
#

Any tips for ethereal? Artifacts are command, Chaos, Sacrifice, and Soul

foggy nacelle
#

Dont get hit.

#

Also, cry

#

Lots of the cry

placid grotto
#

Woah thank you so much I’m gonna go try that

#

I just got hit, It’s not working 😦

coarse lotus
#

Maybe you should wait until the console prismatic trials artifacts start rotating properly

#

Soul can be a real pain with Ethereal

placid grotto
#

Soul kinda helps with the topaz brooches I’m getting but the barrier is still hard to keep during bossfights, especially the clay dunestrider at the end

#

Also missile drones help a little but I have artifact of chaos so I don’t know if I should keep using them

tough belfry
#

if they don't target you it's probably fine

silent birch
#

iirc you can still get hit if you move inbetween their line of fire

placid grotto
#

I think I just need help with the clay dunestrider at the end, I’ve made it to that point a few times but that fight is so annoying

tough belfry
#

idk if it's the same trial since you're on console? what stages do you get, and what items?

placid grotto
#

Siren’s call and scorched acres, artifact of command so no same items

tough belfry
#

right

placid grotto
#

First boss is wandering vagrant and second is dunestrider

silent birch
#

same stages but completely different artifacts and items

tough belfry
#

first stage you may find it easier to spawn AWU and slam it

coarse lotus
#

The artifacts are stuck on console, haven't changed since the update

tough belfry
#

idk how easy that is on console

placid grotto
#

AWU?

tough belfry
#

second stage get the dunestrider just over 1/4 health then preon it

silent birch
#

also see if newt changes dunestrider

placid grotto
#

Oh and artifact of sacrifice, there aren’t item chests for preon

silent birch
#

AWU is the ball that spawns after smashing eggs

placid grotto
#

I may be able to get something tho

#

Is everyone stuck on a different combination of artifacts?

silent birch
#

console and pc dont share the same seeds or trials but this one is weird seeing that both have same bosses and stages
only console is having artifact issues

placid grotto
#

Are you on pc?

silent birch
#

yes

coarse lotus
#

They do have the same seed, just the artifacts are bugged

silent birch
#

we have honour and death
they shouldnt as this alignment never happened before from what I've seen

coarse lotus
#

I've seen it happen for every seed

#

Same stages, same items

placid grotto
#

I wish I was stuck with glass :/

coarse lotus
#

Just different artifacts

#

It should be the same, but I think the console devs might have accidentally made a bug on the code that decides the artifacts.

placid grotto
#

What secondary attack should I use?

waxen torrent
#

Merc?

placid grotto
#

Yep, ethereal

tough belfry
#

i prefer default

#

better for dodging and killing crystals and general movement

waxen torrent
#

default is better for dodging

placid grotto
#

So apparently the preon thing ignores barrier and goes straight to your hp

#

That would have been useful to know before I ended my own run by trying to kill the wandering vagrant

tough belfry
#

oops

silent birch
#

chaos?

placid grotto
#

Yep, chaos

placid grotto
#

2nd stage with the preon accumulator and 8 topaz brooches

does anyone know why on xbox the PT don't change the artifact's set? 5 restarts and the seed changes but the artifacts remain, sucks try ethereal with sacrifice on

Even artifacts

#

@midnight wharf

midnight wharf

so, never going to change? always the same 4? @solemn fiber

solemn fiber
#

Yes, it's a set seed n artifacts

#

Every 3 days

midnight wharf
#

@solemn fiber but every 3 days the artifacts doesn't change, that's my point

solemn fiber
#

Then report it as a bug n move on

cyan stratus
#

any trial with chaos is free for ethereal

#

should be really good for console then

#

@cyan stratus how? got hit before doing the 3 cristals and don't get a single item before 3 min cuz sacrifice

make stuff fight eachother

tough belfry

didn't realise this trial had guillotine

#

crowdfunder brittle crown may be ez if there's a way to avoid the (idk name) that spawns at the crowdfunder

cyan stratus
#

if you go fast enough the templar only shows up at the end of the dunestrider fight

#

you can also kill it with the saw+crowbar but that takes too long

#

also spending lunars doesn't count

delicate grove
#

does blue portal not spawn with the AWU route?

humble rapids
#

is the thing you unlock with ethereal even good

cyan stratus

blue portal never spawns

otherwise it says a blue orb appears at the start

i mean if you activate newt altar

ok how do you do that without spending a lunar

tried newt but got a glacial grovetender

placid grotto
#

@midnight wharf I had the same artifacts as you and I got ethereal still after enough tries. I recommend finding drones to distract and kill stuff until you get a few topaz brooches and a preon accumulator, then beat the first boss and get to the second one as fast as possible, then wait until your drones do enough damage while killing normal enemies to gain barrier, then once the boss is low enough use preon to finish it

#

You could use a different strategy not involving the preon accumulator but I had to use it for dunestrider’s healing

vestal inlet
#

Youtube butchered the quality 😠

#

so many cheaters this time around LOL

sour ferry
#

hey, i'm still trying to unlock characters, but I've never completed a prismatic trial...is there a particular one that works best for the trial today?

#

I'm only missing the one that requires the power plant thing

#

Apparently you need to complete a trial to unlock that scythe item everyone seems to love

vestal inlet
#

REX is definitely the best one for this trial. He gets to oneshot both bosses FLY.

#

merc would be my second choice if you are just going for the item

sour ferry
#

lol figures

vestal inlet
#

you can instakill the alloy unit, but will struggle against the dunestrider

sour ferry
#

okay I've been enjoying merc, I'll try it

elfin leaf
#

How do you instakill them?

vestal inlet
#

check out my run that I linked

#

for the alloy unit, you use the plant ability (forgot the name lol) to grab it through the pillar

#

for the dunestrider, you can just blast it off the edge

dang thats so cool ive never seen someone speed run risk of rain

TY! Check out cabbage's stuff if you want to see more. He runs the game the most.

#

It's such a good strat : D

supple spindle
#

@vestal inlet I'm trying to follow your steps, but the alloy unit doesn't spawn. I get the "Whirring grows loud..." message, but no alloy unit.

#

Also I'm bit confused how you don't seem to fight the boss summoned by the portal

hardy mountain
#

view if u like

supple spindle
#

That channel has no videos

vestal inlet
#

Killing a boss enemy before the portal is activated skips the summoned boss for some reason.

#

not sure why it's not spawning for you, never had any problems

#

are you maybe killing the regular boss first?

supple spindle
#

I just discovered that killing the alloy unit makes it so that the portal boss doesn't spawn. But I still need to break 2 extra eggs not shown on your video to get it to spawn.

#

Seems like you destroy 4 of them and that triggers the alloy unit, I have to destroy 6

vestal inlet
#

You are missing two I'm breaking that are behind the wall

supple spindle
#

Which wall? Could you point to a timestamp in your video?

vestal inlet
#

At 17s, in the container

#

you can't see the damage numbers since I'm not looking at the eggs, but the first bit of text pops up after the roots proc and you can see the healing lines

supple spindle
#

Oh so they are behind the wall very far away?

#

There?

vestal inlet
#

no, later inside the tunnel

#

the shot that breaks them is at 18s

#

one egg is in the little bit that sticks down, the other on top where the pipes from outside lead

supple spindle
#

Ah see it now. Do you get them both with that one shot?

vestal inlet
#

yes, it's very lenient since the tangling growth radius is so large

supple spindle
#

Thanks for the guidance 🙂 I can now do what you did just slower 😄

#

For some reason I only get the "plant" to grab the alloy unit once in about 5 tries, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

#

I guess it is a proximity thing

vestal inlet
#

Yep, it felt very inconsistent for me as well, but sticking closer to the pillar tends to make it move close enough to the area to get it to work

#

most of my runs died to it just not taking any/enough damage though

supple spindle
#

One final question: How do you push the dunestrider so far away? You don't seem to kill an elite to get that "no cooldown" perk, yet you use the "push" skill several times consecutively

vestal inlet
#

I use tangling growth in addition to the pushback in order to make the dunestrider fly, I only use one push during the fight

#

the timing is a little tight, but nothing too difficult

supple spindle
#

oh so tangling growth starts pulling the strider giving it acceleration and then you just push it once?

vestal inlet
#

exactly

supple spindle
#

Got it. I might be able to complete my first prismatic trial because of you. Thanks 🙂

humble rapids
#

hey is it me or is a boss spawning in this trial when it used to not

#

i'm hitting the tele before 1:30 and getting a blazing vagrant

the only way you would prevent the boss from spawning is if you were defeating the alloy unit

otherwise, a vagrant spawn is normal

#

at least half the time the items aren't dropping for me during the teleporter event of this prismatic seed, can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

#

like a wisp is supposed to drop the healing event item, a nd then you're supposed to get gasoline from I think a crab, and then an extra secondary charge from a lumerian. A few times these have all dropped, and then sometimes literally none of them drop even though I kill all the mobs. I can't figure out why it's happening.

cyan stratus
#

rng

brazen gale
#

sigh. well I guess I'll wait for the next seed then. I don't feel like doing 100 thousand million runs hoping to get good RNG. I thought prismatic runs were supposed to be the opposite of that.

#

I just did 5 runs in a row where I killed over 20 enemies on the first stage and only got one drop. like I just don't understand why you'd do that in something that's supposed to be the same seed every time. I really just don't get it

cyan stratus
#

you don't need items, use drones

brazen gale
#

but the best runs will be the people who get lucky on drops, no matter what. even people who are not even bothering to go for items, this will still be true for

#

that's the opposite of the point of prismatic trials. sac just shouldn't be an artifact for these

#

or if it is it should be either an item for every so many kills or something

Does anyone else have/ has had the issue where you can’t see the global ranks for the prismatic trial even after you have completed the current trial?

#

And after that there is 1 wisp and 2 new ones spawn... I have 5 at that time and there spawn even more

#

Also after I activate the turret and kill wasps the stone golem is already at the crystal (35 sec)

#

and there spawn 4 elite wisps for before the boss fight... not a single one for you

just go faster, use m1 during q

this trial in general is frustrating for ethereal

first stage is easy, second stage doesn't seem too bad

humble rapids
#

the clouds of wisps are the worst part

humble rapids
#

well, besides Sacrifice

tough belfry
#

no items doesn't matter

#

you can slam the first boss and the second boss is a horde with not much health

humble rapids
#

vagrant never wants to cooperate

tough belfry
#

even if it doesn't slam you can still just stand on top of it and be fine most of the time

humble rapids
#

not in my experience

tough belfry
#

it doesn't attack and you can use it as a wall against everything else

it certainly shoots at me

also the swarm of wisps makes moving around a pain

jaunty olive
#

So you don’t keep track of that kind of thing?

delicate grove
#

per stage?

jaunty olive
#

Your splits

#

And yes per stage

delicate grove
#

i keep track of splits in Livesplit

#

but they arent that important to me

#

each stage time can vary because of tp location etc

jaunty olive
#

Making a TAS would be complicated

delicate grove
#

yeah i have no knowledge on that, but it would be cool to see

#

would need seed manipulation for it really

solemn fiber
#

or you could just use a set seed

#

its not hard to set a seed

jaunty olive
#

Yes but that would need its own category

delicate grove
#

seed manipulation also covers setting a seed

Completed my first prismatic trial yesterday to unlock scythe, clocked in at around 8 minues with engineer

#

How is glass enabled in the pinned video for this challenge?

icy urchin
#

do you happen to be on console? the pts are different on dif platforms

sweet orchid
#

Yeah i am on console

#

Since the artifacts update i have only seen the trials have command, sacrifice, soul and chaos on

#

So was surprised to see glass

tough belfry
#

artifacts on console are bugged

#

same for every trial

icy urchin
#

that's news to me

sweet orchid
#

I am glad that isn't intentional

#

Because having sacrifice always on for a trial seems really stupid

sweet orchid
#

F me, i have done it

#

I have achieved ethereal

nice

delicate grove
#

i dont think i can do below 1:40

#

stage 1 crystals are horrible for loader

cyan stratus
#

yeah this trial has some of the worst crystals i've seen

#

also 3rd sacrifice drop s1 is wax quail

delicate grove
#

its funny though, loader starts with a vase and it is actually useful on loader for once

#

rex capacitor and egg though

#

very good items

cyan stratus
#

you don't use egg for anything

delicate grove

trying to do the merc challenge in this seed

unreal that its horde of many greater wisps

terse pollen
#

I had something weird happen to me while I tried to complete the trial

#

It was like my 15th try or smthin and on the second stage insted of the hord of gun people it was a overloading imp lord?

#

I thought bosses always were the same

#

only difference between that run and others is that I picked up other items

#

is there any explanation for this?

solemn fiber
#

you took too long

#

the little chunks of a difficulty change the boss

terse pollen
#

oh that makes sense

#

I managed to get top 100 with handy bot though (:

Not this trial... sky meadows is too big for cheese. You have to be legitimately good at mercenary, which is the worst possible situation to be in.

thanks

haven't seriously tried this trial but for going fast if you upload a video we can say if you're doing anything obviously wrong

#

im just asking in general lawl this is my 2nd trial lawl. I just picked up the game during the summer sales lawl

lost dirge
#

Trails are... crazy. But if you're looking for no damage, I'd say a large stage has too many variables to be reliable on that front.

shrewd furnace
#

wait for the correct artifacts

#

like glass command and kin

#

and/or

#

git gud

indigo snow
#

either of those options works

hazy hinge
#

Is there a reason as to why the prismatic trial artifacts from not switching on console? Is it bugged?

cyan stratus
#

apparently yeah

#

should be easy with the artifacts though from what i've heard

#

there's shaped glass in the lunar shop but then the next stage is different than the one shown in the video. Anyone have a strategy for the glass route?

#

is there a preon there or anything?

#

too hard to explore around on the 2nd stage

rare badger
#

Video?

#

You know that every run is randomized right?

#

Including the shop

indigo snow
#

I'm more surprised that you're talking about runs being randomized in the prismatic trial channel

#

Where runs are decidedly not random

rare badger
#

Sorry, never done one

#

I thought this was a help channel my bad

indigo snow
#

Nah pris trials rotate every 3 days and are always identical during that period

#

for speedrunning

rare badger
#

Interesting

indigo snow
#

I should mention @buoyant dove if you're on console the trials don't match up to the PC version, and Cabbage's video is always the PC version

buoyant dove
#

I'm on PC, made it far with his video but I'm thinking shaped glass might be the way to go

indigo snow
#

Also the lunar shop changes what the second stage is

buoyant dove
#

He just doesn't have a video on the 2nd stage if you go lunar shop and it's quite difficult to explore there

#

yeah that's my problem, his second stage differs from mine because I'm going lunar

solemn fiber
#

then dont

buoyant dove
#

I'm thinking shaped glass might be the way to go, I'm struggling with his route

solemn fiber
#

whats better:
following the tutorial or diverging from it

indigo snow
#

There's probably a way to make it work, but the time increase would also change the boss that appears, which might be worse

buoyant dove
#

possibly diverging from it, hence why I'm curious what's there

solemn fiber
#

his tutorial gives you a way to constantly train to do the route

buoyant dove
#

I simply asked if anyone knows what's on the 2nd if you go lunar, not whether I should diverge from the tutorial, I have my reasons. He may not have gone lunar for many reasons (including why he usually doesn't use lunar items at all)

delicate grove
#

why cant you explore the second level?>

buoyant dove
#

it's hard

#

big time investment, if I know what's there I can decide whether I should keep going tutorial or not

indigo snow
#

Since the lunar shop freezes time it's not exactly a bad idea but you'll pretty much be on your own routing it

delicate grove
#

just explore it without worrying about getting damaged

buoyant dove
#

it doesn't seem to freeze time in prismatic trials

#

but it also seems to cost more coins and I'm gonna eventually run out

delicate grove
#

you can edit your save file to have more lunar coins

buoyant dove
#

shaped glass might be worth it compared to cabbage's tonic way, especially since it makes getting to the boss much easier

indigo snow
#

There's the option of going to the bazaar and second level without buying shaped glass

#

so you can explore

buoyant dove
#

I'm doing a pure run for challenges, no editing saves, no artifacts, etc

#

true

delicate grove
#

why

buoyant dove
#

but again, if anyone knows if there's anything worth it there it would save me a ton of time

indigo snow
#

But in general if you're gonna be running it a hundred times it's probably best not to use lunars, don't ya think

#

Unless it's just given to you

buoyant dove
#

yeah but shaped glass may make it so i dont have to run it hundreds of times, depending on what else is there

#

ive made it to the boss using the tutorial on stage 2 multiple times but I'm having trouble and I think glass could be a major key for consistently getting me to the boss

#

also cabbage's video involves a lunar pod so im gonna be using some amount of coins no matter what, albeit a lot less going his route

indigo snow
#

It's mainly about how confident you are that you can get it done before using more lunars than you're comfortable with

delicate grove
#

if its this much of an issue you should wait till an easier trial that doesnt involve lunars

buoyant dove
#

im not confident cabbage's way is gonna work for me

indigo snow
#

There's also that

buoyant dove
#

and I'm impatient, feel like doing the challenge now and I have the time now, not sure about later

delicate grove
#

either that or edit the save file because all you are doing is saving yourself hours of grinding on drizzle

buoyant dove
#

I'm at 80 coins, if I know if there's a good item 2nd stage it shouldn't take all of those coins

tough belfry
#

just route it yourself

buoyant dove
#

I will if no one answers me, but again it'll save me a ton of time if anyone else knows if there's something good there

tough belfry
#

i'd assume nobody's tried it

buoyant dove
#

same here but I'm desperate so why not

buoyant dove
#

there's a preon on the second stage

coarse lotus
#

Third stage

buoyant dove
#

add that to the fuel cell that cabbage gets in his video and the shaped glass you can get from the lunar shop and i think that's gonna be better than his video if you've got the coin

#

also id argue it's still 2nd, don't count a shop as the third

#

i mean 2nd

coarse lotus
#

True

#

My bad

buoyant dove
#

np

#

there's also a brooch but I don't remember exact location

#

if you have the coins that's way better than the 2nd stage in Cabbage's vid imo

#

preon is the first hit of a shrine of chance in the water left of spawn

buoyant dove
#

I fucking did it

#

totally recommend going the lunar route with the fuel cell from the first map, shaped glass from shop, and preon from chance shrine in alt 2nd stage

#

not sure fuel cell is even necessary but that's what I did

#

@cyan stratus thanks for the walkthrough for stage 1, really helped and would not have been able to do it otherwise

Hi, on a difficulty scale, how difficult is the current trial? I'm a new player looking to unlock the harvester scythe

tough belfry
#

all monsters are elite so it's probably quite difficult

thorny magnet
#

now that the update is coming, im gonna try and get ethereal. is the current trial somewhat easy to do?

tough belfry
#

no

aight i'll wait for glass or command then

@thorny magnet this trial isnt bad imo. Cabbage's video for the first stage shows you which route to take and how to cheese the boss by clipping through a wall, just takes some practice. If you go lunar shop you can get a shaped glass, and then the 2nd stage from there has a preon in the shrine of chance in the water right of spawn. Grab the preon and shoot the boss to win.

upper shoal
#

any advice on how to get the Mercenary skill in prismatic trials?

azure schooner
#

wait for an easy trial, then brute force it

buoyant dove
#

Good artifacts are kin (assuming enemies aren't wisps), command, and glass to my knowledge

red raptor
#

glass and command

silent birch
#

kin is excellent if its not flying enemies

#

chaos is pretty good too

upper shoal
#

thx

#

i've been trying for a while without artifacts

#

i'll try those

white frost
#

when's the last time there was a trial without artifacts

tough belfry
#

before artifacts update

white frost
#

Enigma is a really good artifact too, in my opinion

#

The equipment order is fixed, so you can kinda just deplete equips until you get a good one. The only exception is getting a hell fire, and that can be worked around

silent birch
#

unless sacrifce

cyan stratus
#

this trial has glass, command and the first chest i open has a red item

#

so do i even need to make a video for this one

Oh geez, what does one pick to become ethereal?

If I made that decision while playing, I would take so long that something hits me.

Do all mercenaries hold M1 when doing whatever?

yes

rare badger
#

Is it possible for there to be lunar buds in prismatic trials or have I just been unlucky with artifact of sacrifice in the last two seeds?

solemn fiber
#

you answered your own question

#
  1. yes, they can spawn
#
  1. if the artifact is on, no, since all chests n shops are gone

Hmmm, I’m trying to get the merc prismatic trial unlock and the only chance I really have is to get transcendence right off the bat

@rare badger Transcendence wouldn't work anyways

Shield damage counts against the challenge.

thin timber

Yeah, shields count as health for the purpose of Ethereal

rare badger
#

Wait what

What ring of hell is this

lost dirge

Same with the huntress challenge on the third stage

cyan stratus
rare badger
#

Wait, but the challenge is font fall below %100 health, I thought shield didn’t matter

#

how long til the cheaters start cropping up

rare badger
#

I remember specifically getting topaz broaches because they could be hit and be fine

thin timber

Brooches are fine, yes.
