Yes

#

Why?

#

like I understand why it works, just not sure why it's in the game

fierce geyser

🤷‍♂️

cursive hemlock
#

I played HYPER lame but I finally got it

brisk meadow
#

what was it?

cursive hemlock
#

The Ethereal achievment

indigo snow
hallow notch
#

Did somebody end up making an April Fools run using Slicing Winds?

#

Using the ability you get from Ethereal to get Ethereal

safe compass
#

THANK YOU SO MUCH

fallow meadow
#

I have no clue how people do it so fast as Bandit, lol

peak topaz
#

Finally got ranged mercenary. That tutorial was mad helpful

zenith plinth
patent goblet
#

I did it! That video helped a ton with just like, general strategy. Never would've guessed that Razorwire + Topaz Brooch strat. Thank you!

zenith plinth
#

i got the ethereal too with just topaz brooch. great strat. 😌

tepid idol
#

Thank god you exist i am so bad with dealing with wisps

#

Happy to help, love the community and game a ton

tepid idol

I love everything with this game except that challenge

#

Current prismatic trials made me realise just how much i hate lesser wisps

gleaming coral
#

hit scan go brr

charred cosmos
#

For real.

#

Shields from topaz brooch don't count as falling below 100% right?

gleaming coral
#

not sure, all i know is if wisps are involved dont even bother. its not worth the torture

charred cosmos
#

But the trial is so good...

gleaming coral
#

its an awful ability anyway, work on other less annoying things, like 20 stages commando

charred cosmos
#

Eh

#

Still want it

pearl berry
#

it's a straight upgrade lol

ahhh i finally managed to do it

I still absolutely can't do it tinycaptaindance

#

Is this compatible with PC?

steel timber
#

Check pins for the videoo

#

But u can def follow the general strat.

zenith plinth
#

Any tips on getting the other ability for mercenary?

mellow ledge

I GOT IT YAY mercenarydance mercenarydance mercenarydance

hngblush Hey this is really helpful! I didn't know you could do that using Loader's grapple ability...

#

Yall think the mercenary achievement is possible on this one? I don't

#

Lol

trim grove
#

You barely have any hp to begin with, aren't you a bit forced into not taking damage?
fuel cell + preon will take care of the bosses for you. You just have to destroy the crystals and get there :D

jovial basin
#

Hm

#

I could try that

#

In all honesty I don't like thr trials at all and would never do them if it wasn't for this poorly designed achievement

#

Sadge

#

@indigo snow

obsidian scarab
#

i wonder how many players have avoided doing that achievement

sinful zealot
#

me for one lmao

lime zephyr
steel timber
#

I was doing tje trials for console just now

#

And its on siren’s call. Does anyone know what would happen if I beat the AWU instead?

#

It’s not bad. U just cant really use topaz spam because everything one shots.

green steeple

#

@indigo snow pin maybe idk this is my first time

#

wait is it an ethereal video

#

let me check and if it’s not I’m really fucking sorry for the ping shy

steel timber
#

Yup its an ethereal video for console

green steeple
#

ok

#

was just a little confused sorry

steel timber
#

i um.. wot?

#

Im sorry too?

green steeple
#

sorry for what?

charred cosmos
green steeple
#

it’s my fault that I might have mistakenly pinged shy because my monkey brain sees prismatic trial video and I know that you uploaded an ethereal video so my brain goes “ok cool new console ethereal upload maybe I should start doing the counting thing that vulf is doing”

steel timber
#

Ah gotcja gotcha lol

#

Yeah i try to do one every weekend

charred cosmos
#

Can't take damage if there is nothing left alive to damage you

steel timber
#

Lmaoo too tru

jovial basin
#

sigh

#

this achievement sucls

indigo snow
deep sparrow
#

THIS ACHIEVMENT IS JANK AND I HATE IT!

fierce geyser
#

Just dodge 😏

deep sparrow
#

how can i when wisps spawn?

sterile fossil
zenith plinth
tawdry sparrow
indigo snow
#

Plenty of people have done it and plenty more will

#

It's one of the few skill-based (or waiting until the "perfect seed" comes around) challenges in the game

jovial basin
#

yeah and i fucking despise it

tawdry sparrow
#

I am more on the side of

#

It wouldve been cooler if it wad judt survive a stage without going below 100%

#

Instead of doing an alternate gamemode to unlock something

jovial basin
#

^^^^

tough belfry
#

"would be cooler if they did the exact same thing as another achievement in the game" HuntressThink

cursive hemlock
#

I think it would be cool to have something else like "dont get hit for the duration of the teleporter" instead. Or like said above. Dont get hit for a entire stage. This achievment is wayyyy too hard compared to the rest imo

tawdry sparrow
#

Being above 100% hp is easier than "dont get hit at all"

#

Since barrier blocks dmg

cursive hemlock
#

If its in ANY stage i think its easier

#

Or maybe rework it like : "dodge" a certain amount of damage with the I-frames

brittle rivet
#

I really hate today's trial, tbh

#

Glass is one of the artifacts that I dread playing with, because of how you only have 10% HP.

steel timber
#

In terms of ethreal or speedrun?

brittle rivet
#

I'd say for both, really.

#

Then again, I am trash at this game still, so there's that-

tawdry sparrow
#

i mean

#

glass is legit good for etheral

#

since you dont wanna take dmg anyway lol

cursive hemlock
#

^

tawdry sparrow
#

having glass and chaos on same run

#

blessed

brittle rivet
#

Excuse me wtf

#

HOW

zealous mural
#

this is unlocked by swinging a blade once

brittle rivet
#

It's supposed to be use 20 abilities in 10 seconds, but I used two in two seconds...

tawdry sparrow
#

Yeah

brittle rivet
#

That's a bug.

#

A good bug, but still a bug nonetheless.

#

I can't even seem to get past the first area without dying. :(

#

Let alone not falling below 100%.

#

This achievement is so stupid.

zealous mural
#

chill, wait till cabbage posts a vid

brittle rivet
#

...Who's cabbage? :o

#

Forgive me, I'm new to the community.

zealous mural
#

sorry i just spaced out watching the vid

#

this is some kind of art

brittle rivet
#

Ah, thanks.

ruby hollow
#

You can find them in the pins

brittle rivet
#

Saw that, yeah. STill new to this community, like I said

#

I'm trying to follow this guide, and I'm STILL getting hit.

#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

#

I absolutely hate this challenge...

#

I just can't seem to do this no matter how much I follow the video

#

I get sniped or I get killed.

#

I almost am ready to give up.

zealous mural
#

nah, this looks really hard, elite wisps with swarms are not the jam, wait another 3 days

brittle rivet
#

This is bullshit. Pure and simple.

zealous mural
#

you can also edit the file n stuff

brittle rivet
#

Might just do that to give me this achievement.

#

Because tbh, I don't want to tear my hair out

#

I've decided to give up on this trial for now.

I'll come back in three days with a new seed.

fervent stag
#

make sure you are at same place at same time so that the spawns will also be same, then grind the same run 20-30 times and you should be able to memorize it and get a lucky success

#

first 2-3 runs dont stop if you get hit and dont get tilted

#

if you forget where to go you can pause the run and check what cabbage does and then continue

brittle rivet
#

I've decided that it's best for me to step away from this seed for the time being and do something else. Don't wanna get frustrated.

obsidian tinsel
#

i've tried this challenge with merc to get the thing so many times but ho-LY is this prismatic trial is bad for him

#

guess ill wait for the next rotation, this one is extremely frustrating

#

ive managed to pass the first part a few times but i then die to the second by some other bs

brittle rivet
#

I think I'll do this trial as someone else.

#

Honestly, I think that this trial is probably suited for Bandit or Captain.

#

Or Huntress.

steel timber
#

Yeah def nico

#

Merc’s alt is def one of the select challenges that actually tests your ability as a player

steel timber
#

O niceeeee

#

I love that ability

jovial basin
#

Cabbage video is pretty cool

#

I killed the first boss with his method but died right after 🛌

jovial basin
#

I guess we go again

jovial basin
#

Yeah this isn't happening

charred cosmos
#

I didn't get an occasion to play the the current trials but i think that by murdering everything you see you can survive, as i said, there is nothing left to damage you if there is nothing left alive, and thats easy to do with the glass artifact

jovial basin
#

it's not easy at all

#

I can't get the bosses to line up

#

i get sniped

#

i made it to the 2nd boss fight

#

this mode fucking sucks

#

i'll just wait for a better seed

steel timber
#

Hmm

#

If ur still at it. A slower method could be fuel cell + royal capacitor

jovial basin
#

slower is just a guranteed hit

steel timber
#

Try to get as far as possible and snipe them one bye kne

jovial basin
#

It's just moronic

#

this achievement

steel timber
#

Nah it isnt. U can do it man

jovial basin
#

no

#

No i can't

steel timber
#

If u can get the equipment and to the greater wisps without getting hit u can def do it.

jovial basin
#

I got to the 2nd stage boss lol

steel timber
#

Bruh then u tottallh got this

jovial basin
#

it's just luck

zenith pasture
#

i've killed the golems and died before getting out twice now lmao

#

pain

steel timber
#

Try switching to capacitor than.

jovial basin
#

isn't there like 5 wisps

#

way to many for capacitor

steel timber
#

U can use it from very far

#

If u can get past stage 1 with it.

#

U can snipe the titans on stage 2

jovial basin
#

i wonder why topaz only gives 11

#

and then super diminishing returns

#

they're not even worth it

steel timber
#

Topaz isnt great if u have 1.

#

Especially during a trial like this

#

All elites are likely to one shot

peak wasp
#

me: wants to clear
wisps: fuck you

jovial basin
#

topaz sucks on glass

#

they're just tear through it

steel timber
#

Yeah definitely.

jovial basin
#

i kinda try and copy cabbage

#

kinda not. I go for the first 2 crystals

fast pewter
#

Though i beat the challenge but turns out I took i point of damage at some point...

#

Is there equipment on the first stage on console?

zenith pasture
#

I DID IT WITH CAPACITOR

#

LETS GOOOOO

steel timber
#

Ayyyyyyyy

steel timber
#

There is a stage 2 equipment tho.

fast pewter
#

I go for the capacitor on stage 2 and grab a fuel cell on stage 1, but some times i get unlucky and get wisps during the stage 1 boss

#

Is one shaped glass enough to one shot the jellyfish with the capacitor?

steel timber
#

No shaped glass is enough

#

Did u take the fuel cell from the chest or the tp reward?

fast pewter
#

Shrine by the teleporter

steel timber
#

Gotcha gotcha

#

Did u pick up the green from the chest?

fast pewter
#

Yeah i get the band from there

#

I avoid the tp reward to minimize risk

steel timber
#

Exactly

#

Hmm in my video I said to wait for the wisp spawn but after running the trial again

#

If u can do it fast enough u can prevent them from spawning.

fast pewter
#

Trying to work out the time myself when the wisps will spawn because i dont always get them

steel timber
#

Yeah its a bit strange.

#

But to help with the first tp. U wanna pre 3rd swing the titan as its spawning and whirlwind it for the band proc.

fast pewter
#

Sometimes i get wisps at the red chest and sometimes i dont

steel timber
#

At the red chest?

fast pewter
#

The first one you go to in your vid

steel timber
#

Ah we might have different pathing

#

O hmm. The wisps usually spawn

#

Pretty late

#

Ill try and run it again

steel timber
#

U can most definitely skip the shaped glass

#

And just grab 2 crystals and bands as fast as possible and get to the tp

#

I got an ice golem spawn tho... whicj is strange

fast pewter
#

Literally just got an ice golem by where I'd get the glass

steel timber
#

Yeah same as well

#

Triple Dash them and it should kill them

#

Yah no. Thats really random actually

fast pewter
#

So i think the wisps spawn at tp at just over 2 minutes

brittle rivet
#

I figured it was best for me to try again on another seed.

jovial basin
#

you know

fast pewter
#

Honestly i think its a good seed, its just the goddamn wisps

jovial basin
#

there's a pod right behind your spawn

#

I wonder if it's worth going for

steel timber
#

Maybe

#

U migjt be on to something

jovial basin
#

it's so open thou

steel timber
#

Perhaps double imurity

jovial basin
#

so you usually get hung out to dry

steel timber
#

Not sure where the bud u were talking about was

fast pewter
#

They may mean the pc seed

steel timber
#

Probably

fast pewter
#

Console has a newt altar near the spawn

#

Also got the to tp in 1.50 and still got wisps

jovial basin
#

I do meant PC

steel timber
#

Alright i got it

#

Wait till u get an ice golem spawn

#

Once that happnens i think the wisps are gone for tp

fast pewter
#

Is that by where I'd get the glass? I'll give it a try

steel timber
#

Huh...

#

The ice golems dont spawn sometimes??

fast pewter
#

I swear spawns arent consistent

#

So i took a bit longer and got the crystal on the other side of the tp and wisps dodnt spawn

steel timber
#

Dope dope

#

Yeah i have no clue for the conditions of those wisps spawning

#

Although

#

I think i found an easier path

#

Here lemme work out some things and ill try and get a video

steel timber
#

Aleigjt i got it

harsh grotto
#

ayo, any tips for unlocking the merc alt on this pt?

#

(items/equipment)

#

PC if that matters

steel timber
#

Hmm cabbage used a preon to clear out the greater wisps

#

And used energy drinks. But thats about it

harsh grotto
#

should i get the brooch?

steel timber
#

No the brooch wont help much. Overloading/Blazing elites will one shot and ice elites will probably put u under 100%

fast pewter
#

@shim you absolutely beautiful person! I've been trying this all day and finally did it!

#

Good thing too because i felt my blood pressure rising 😅

#

Anyone has finished this trial with merc? Pause

serene prawn
#

Note: Currently, it appears that console and PC have different seeds. Once I have the means to produce videos for the console seed, I will. But as of right now, I do not.

The main part of this one that is so difficult is the wisps at the start, but once you get past that then it's fairly smooth sailing from there on. This is one of the easier t...

This prismatic trial is going to send me insane, too many times have i been teleporting away sub 1:50 only to get sicked by some beetle's ice field or sniped by a lemurian ;-;

serene prawn
#

This prismatic trial is showing me just how deceptively inconsistent prismatic trials are, despite being the same seed every time. Lessers wisps and beetles will sometimes spawn and sometimes not, no matter when I get to the teleporter T_T

#

(PC) Finally got up to 31st place with 1:29. Far as I can tell, none of the people above me are bandits, so maybe he's not actually the best survivor for this trial

split saddle
#

Alot of it i feel is really high RNG as you said it was, but unfortunately i suspect alot of the people at the very top are cheating

split saddle

#

I just want a consistent Beetleguard spawn location man.

#

Like damn, sometimes they won't even spawn.

split saddle
#

whether i actually get or beat 1:30 completely depends on if the titans spawn in the same place, i can't progress without RNG anymore so i think ima stop for now lol

#

...... god damnit

#

I did it bois, 32nd at 1:28.42

very cool

i can't believe yall can do this

It just takes a bit of practice and the ability to resist smashing your keyboard in

jovial basin

a fuck ton of practice

split saddle
tough belfry
#

i'd think it would be faster going straight for the vase at the start and killing crystals while the equipment barrel opens

#

probably better dps if you use m2 idk though

jovial basin
#

This achievement is stupdi

#

This entire prismatic trial makes me want to jump off a cliff, hordes of wisps freaking sucks when you have so little health

keen grove

what I did if it helps anyone

steel timber
#

@jovial basin

#

R u still at this trial?

steel timber
#

If u can get past stage 1 consistently, u can pick up an capacitor on stage 2 near the crystals and snipe them.

#

There’s an equipment barrel near the 2 crystals.

jovial basin

I did it at 7am

who are you playing as

#

brooch is definitely a good choice but you can probably take a fuel cell for a disposable missile launcher

#

and you only need one brooch because of artifact of glass

soft verge
#

Merc to get the achievement

rotund trout
#

alright so definitely take the fuel cell instead of the ukelele

#

your main sources of damage are gonna be fireworks and Launcher

#

instead of Shield_Generator take Armor_Piercing_Rounds

#

you want Armor_Piercing_Rounds for the stage 2 boss

stack 3-4 of them if you can

this trial was quite easy with the preon thank god

The true trial begins

remote oriole
#

Yep, today's is really good for ethreal

#

but honestly I didn't rely on preon that much cuz glass with bandolier is scary enough, plus you get a guillotine against elite swarm boss

sharp solstice
#

any trial with glass, an early topaz brooch and minimal wisps is good for ethereal

remote oriole
#

True, sadly this one is just painful cuz there's a lot of wisps on stage one, and stage 2 has elite large wisps as boss

sharp solstice

Yea i dont think i could have done the greater wisps without preon

insert "the hitbox discovery" file

steel timber
# fervent wyvern ....Range as a melee survivor

SW helps cycle skills extremely fast because you get an extra exposed ability. More exposed hits means more blinding assualt = compensates for lost i-frames. Theyre both good. Slicing winds is an acquired taste

Hey, I'm trying to get sub 1:25 and I'm at 1:27. Any tips?
Running commando, I'm opening wax quail chest and HUD chest on the way to the boss, killing beetle queen, and grabbing both on the way out. start second teleporter, buy the drone, use HUD on wisps, and leave

#

using shotgun, base r, and slide

viscid hornet
#

Mercenary Ethereal after all the runs ive did i got it

#

i just 100% the game

normal dew
#

I deviced a route with the launcher and a drone only to beat this

normal dew
#

So for the switch, the strat is to destroy the first crystal to the left of the spawn point, then head to the missile drone and purchasing it after killing the first lemurian. Then go buy the twin bullet thing for the boss, and kill some enemies for the rocket launcher

#

Afterwards head to the direction of the teleporter, destroy the crystal to the left and then go to destroy the crystal closest to the teleporter with evicerate

#

Then kill some fodder enemies, activate the teleporter and kill queen beetle with the rocket launcher

#

Second level is very easy

#

Only tricky part is killing the golem, tho, you can through buying the turret closest to the 2nd teleporter and you get the achievement

#

also how do u land the combo where u dont take damage w the r ability

#

on the crystals

steel timber
#

Triples slice to expose, whirlwind, eviscerate

buoyant horizon
#

whirlwind then eviscerate?

steel timber
#

Or triple slice, eviscerate, and then whirlwind right after

buoyant horizon
#

i j accidentally unlocked the alternate shift tryin too hard lmao

#

i found that j the combo of alt shift + eviscerate does the job too j rn

#

is default shift better tho

steel timber
buoyant horizon
#

its only audio for some reason lol

steel timber
#

O

#

Just watch cabbages video

buoyant horizon
#

i did but i dont get it lol

steel timber
#

What he does is

#

Wait first. Do you know what the expose does?

buoyant horizon
#

yea u do more damage on em

steel timber
#

Yeah so he does the eviscerate as the 3rd swing goes off

buoyant horizon
#

ohhh its a frame thing

steel timber
#

Yeah

buoyant horizon
#

ima try

steel timber
#

And then u get a few more I frames after leaving it

#

So he whirlwinds

buoyant horizon
#

so whirlwinding carrys the expose? then eviscerate?

#

w the alternate shift i was sooooo close to finishing it

#

it help a lot

steel timber
#

Idk what the alt shift does

#

Im on console. But if it gets rid of I frames then i would refrain from using it.

#

On ethereal

is dissonance broken with this patch then or is it just the trial?

@cyan stratus I don't even think you need to make a video this trial (but why not right?)
Its free thanks to the Dissonance bug that makes enemies not spawn.

make a serious video but intentionally take damage from falling

are you going for the respawn manip to the TP?

you can go from lower crystal to lower ledge of far island

i only get one grey on my route :(

do you think the new commado run is legit?

lol

:o i got second

#

i haven't done prismatic trials much lol

#

i get red whip + meteorite in my run

quick violet
#

Is this seed good for the ethereal challenge?

flat lintel
#

theres a lot of wisps that can be annoying but I was playing huntress

quick violet
#

Na I can't deal with wisps I'll wait for the next seed

#

I swear this has to be the hardest charetor challenge in the game

#

*character

flat lintel
#

im 9 seconds behind first

#

they're too fast

quick violet
#

I could care less about ranking. Wisps are just the enemy I struggle with the most

hybrid sable
#

Today's seed is perfect for the Mercenary: Ethereal challenge guys !

hybrid sable
quick violet
#

Even with the wisps? Also I have console artifacts

hybrid sable
#

The way to deal with the wisps, in this challenge, is to get a white item and get the Topaz brooch so whenever you kill you get quite a lot of shield (remember you cant fall from 100% health but you can use shields and drop from em' )

hybrid sable
quick violet
#

Yeah ok

#

Thanks man

hybrid sable
#

also for the green if you want go for the bracelets so you can fast kill the bosses

zenith plinth

quick violet

I don't have the bracelets yet

Fastest time so far

i accidentally played prismatic trials with mods

so are there 4 cheaters rn?

#

theres the 1 and 5 second time, a 42 by a merc and a 1:10 on engi

cyan stratus
#

1:10 engi should be possible this trial if you grind rng

#

i did a couple engi runs earlier and equipment is good

flat lintel
#

ohhhhh

#

that seems annoying to do lol

#

but maybe could be fun idk

#

is the rng set based on survivor or is there other stuff

cyan stratus
#

no just equipment from enigma is different per survivor

green crow
#

Ok ive been playing RoR2 for a while now and i've unlocked the majority of the skills for each character... but how in the world do you complete a prismatic trial with mercenary without taking any damage?

flat lintel
#

trials with the glass artifact make it a lot easier

#

its mostly just kill the wisps before they shoot you and also get topaz

#

cabbage makes ethereal challenge guides btw

#

he posted it above

#

i didnt realize frailty was on so I just jumped off a cliff and died

green crow
#

well sheet. he makes that look so damn easy

flat lintel
#

lol

#

cabbage is the item routing just red whip + meteorite still?

#

do lower quality settings change the tree hitboxes?

#

i got a 1:44 on engi

#

i wanna get my top 5 back tho

#

oh cabbage wat

#

too fast

#

wait i can't even see first place rn

green crow
#

well i cant even get past first level with mercenary. wisps just spawn immediately and just 1 shot me.

flat lintel
#

dashing through them will usually make the ones you dont hit die

#

also gasoline, wisp, ukulele can help with the wisps

green crow
#

gasoline! why didnt i think of that

flat lintel
#

got a 1:29 with engi now

#

hopefully can pb soon

green crow

I keep getting so far then dying 😢

Hi everyone,

I'm at 111 successes out of 112 and to finish on a high note, I've kept the worst challenge in the game: the mercenary challenge. I'm following a route pointed out by a nice streamer on youtube and it seems to be working since, after many attempts, I've finished twice. But without the achievement unlocking. It does indeed say that I took damage but I'm 99% sure I didn't drop below the topaz pin bar. The damage did not normally affect my health. Is this normal? Is there any way to check if it was my health bar that was affected?
In one case I took 30 points of damage so maybe it went down without me seeing it but in the other game I had only taken 9 points of damage. And I really felt like it was only my gold bar that was affected.

icy urchin
#

if it's possible you could try recording your run and then wathcing the replay perhaps?

bleak cypress
#

Yes, why not. We can recording with Stream ?

icy urchin
#

i honestly have no idea, I personally use shadowplay

#

OK, I will find. Thx 🙂

maybe this is finally a good difficulty level so that people won't complain about ethereal

lol

zzz

using the crystals to bounce yourself could be interesting tho

#

i wonder if its worth the rerolls to get double purity

probably

the trial seemed like it could've had cool routing with the glass and atg

:(

wait im dumb

damage items work on crystals too

My ethereal run was with artifact of glass. I picked up a ocular hud and just burst the first boss. Second stage had a brooch printer near the spawn point

#

You can also unlock Huntress: Piercing Wind and Engineer: Zero Sum for free with this trial if you haven't already. I don't play either survivor much and already did Ethereal legitimately so unlocked those relatively guilt-free 😏

#

Though with Zero Sum you have to run around and kill all the crystals on the map first

maybe after a number of trials done perfectly you would get it?

cinder frost
#

Or set Ethereal and other no damage runs (which we could add more for some actual unlocks instead of just two) under a different type of game mode?

i do feel like the requirement for ethereal would have been better suited to, say, a legendary item that more than one character would use

anybody know if you can unlock the TC on this prismatic trial?

tawdry sparrow
#

Apperently you dont, its dmg output is way better than eviscerate and gives you the ability weave in and out of combat

#

Eviscerate is just i frames

#

And you still have I frames eith your dssh

scenic rain
#

i literally could not care less about the high damage argument

merry silo
#

how about Expose™️

tawdry sparrow
#

Yeah that too

#

You have way less cooldowns with sw

scenic rain
#

that's pretty good yeah

#

but still

tawdry sparrow
#

You can expose chain enemies

scenic rain
dapper stump
#

Sw has:
Better dps
Better aoe
Better expose procs
Takes less time to use so more easy to combo with

Evis has:
More mobility
I-frames

#

Definitely a choice, but in no way is either directly inferior especially sw

tawdry sparrow
#

^

dapper stump
#

Oh yeah evis technically has attack speed scaling also but I’m pretty sure you’d have more dps using other abilities with that same attack speed

#

Attack speed scaling is very overrated

tawdry sparrow
#

You gotta remember evis is only 100% dmg

#

Per hit

#

It aint gonna insta oneshot the map with proc chains

pearl berry
tawdry sparrow
#

Yeah its not much dmg

#

Like if an ability had attack speed scaling with good dmg then it would be really good

But both commando and mercs special have 100%
