or pita bread
the same way if I say katana, I'd imagine you understand that I am talking about a traditional shaped 1 edged sword
and not just saying sword in japanese
the same way people say chai to refer to the indian traditional tea, and not to say "tea tea"
why that one?
the mc rib is back
Woag simulacrum is really fun
you were right actually this was mad easy
ror2 is my fav game
best merc loadout?
focused or blinding assault?
2121
That's really funny to me as someone who works in a coffee shop cause I serve chai on the daily
ew you w*rk
Mhmm
today i was selling naan
But I need money to feed my plushie needs
sorry what was that? cant hear you over the money im making
most real shi ever
catfishing>>>
I need her to sit on my desk
he doesnt have an alternate primary what
10 shurikens merc
who is she??? looks cuteee
Best merc loadout

made it up
LMAO
mine
He used to not have expose đ
ea game company huh
I need teto and miku plushies too....
That sounds awful đ
Adachi is also cool
Would you like to zoom around the map and have the time of your life or actually be productive
it was worse than what we have now yes
thank you
but it wasn't bad, it was stale
Grenadier rabbit from rabbit and steel
flint and steel
I could also get heavyblade since she's back in stock
But grenadier speaks to me more
is she from dlc
i have three new plushies on the way now
how many raccoons has bandit adopted
I mean it was free dlc but yeah
all
cool
Anyway this is heavyblade
i always like when there are firearms in a magical settinh
looks like a little human with those russian hats
not a lot of media can pull it off
and a pair of antennas
She goes pew pew and throws a grenade its awesome
media to consume
they call me the consumer
i think it's done well in irregular and asterisk war
Probably one of my favorite to play just because her gameplay loop is satisfying
pebble
never heard of it, lemme search
that's 2 animes
You use your primary until you run out of ammo, secondary to reload, and defensive to immediately cancel the reload so it's instant, and your special is a solid aoe that you can augment with special and defensive upgrades
the irregular of the magic academy
do you like adachi?
That sounds like a very generic anime title ngl, lemme look it up and see if i kmow it
I'd say so
you are held high
The science fantasy genre (not scifi that's different, this is scifi plus fantasy) has a lot of that and it's usually really good
it's a very good anime
i forgot if it has 1 or 2 spin offs
I like a lot of different voicebanks, i have miku teto neru gumi eleanor adachi yi xi sfa2 miki all in my playlist :)
I recognize the characters, don't think i watched it though
add it to the list
I don't really watch anime but I'll think about it
didn't like how asterisk looked but this irregular one I'll give a chance
ye
thats good, i like adachi, kafu, type t, miku, zundamon a lot
and kokichi
Why is the first thing i see kafu wise upon looking them up drinking gasoline
I mean I wouldn't call over a year ago that new
my framing of time is poor
Its all good
So yeah it was roughly what i remembered
About equal but cleanup outputs it faster (in a single target situation anyhow which is usually what i care about)
how many cats does artificer have
7
1 and it's a siamese
Also hi goobessa!
hello bordurn!
hi

u like inabakumori?
did they fix the mul-t glitchyet
it was worth a hope
hope..
Pain and suffering
despair..
The 1000 tech issues of subnautica 2
h,,,
What dlc is the character with the bag that can catch enemies in
do i use the hc tech engineer skin cuz it gives him kitty paws
alloyed collective
Iâve never even heard of an application hanging itself
Ok thanks
it happens to me all the time
its kind of gross
âThe application has hung itself. We apologize for the inconvenienceâ
What do you mean the application hung itself
How do i unlock engineer fast
Do the first stage over and over again
Ok
this loadout sucks dookie butt⢠i just dont wanna use the other ability
You mean the good ability operator is known for
TrueâŚ
i like operator
What dlc is operator in
also ac
I personally run crossdoc but heavy respect for firewall useage
Which dlc should i buy first
Void
what the hell
Me when I get shot dead for posting 4 images at once
bullshit
1 image is bigger than 4 images
See for yourself
survivors of the void, it gives you the most bang for your buck, and almost all of the content is on the main path, which is what you'll play a lot of while unlocking stuff
oh okay hold on
It wonât delete 3 but itâll kill 4
BNO im not gonna nayways what am i missing
Dlc makes the game harder?
repurposed crater I think
kinda
you get more items to have more synergies with which makes you stronger, but enemy variety can make things harder too
arguable, AC definitely does
sotv would make things easier ifit wasnt for THem
seekers of the storm is the only one that i'd say generally makes it easier because of stage 1
So i should buy ac last?
my unwoke opinion is
yes because its the most recently published dlc
you should buy all dlcs in order and preferably all at once
Ok
but . thats stupid dont do that
I personally would go sotv, ac, sots
I think seekers of the storm while not bad in its current state is the weakest dlc
whats this enemy btw
solus transporter
On playstation the game is almost 2 times cheaper than any dlc rn i need to wait for like summer sale or smth
the ones that do the explosion that pulls you in
lesser wisp?
no its an ac enemy
its the only ac enemy that doesnt get spammed every 3 seconds
because if i can turn a dlc off to not need to loop nearly as much
invalidators
extractors

its unlock run time
but thats what losers think
also im using engineer so having the extra sentry is totally useful enough
i need to do this
still dont have sots and ac unlocks
heres what i ended up with
a few of them
i see
You say that, yet I see command
is that projection?
yeah i still need to do the optimized run so that i can get unlocks without slaving away for 5 thousand years
but im not a pussy about it
im only a loser about it
i dont need to further "optimize" by adding swarms
"do the halcyon shrine every time its so worth it"
spends 4 minutes charging it
gets a leeching seed a bison steak and a topaz brooch
yep, so worth it
4 minutes what happened 
its almost like getting 300 gold on stage 1 takes an obscenely long time

i understand wanting to gamble heavily on the first stage since you dont really lose much if you end up low rolling on a huge gamble on stage 1 but yeah
if it ends up giving you jack shit youre better off restarting lmao
it doesnt take 4 minutes it can take as little as 2
btw uh
actually no as little as 1
what item should i give to my artifact of rebirth after im done with this run
clover
okay but thats like
halcyon shrines take 1 minute to charge if you have all the money
Worthless .
depending on how you loot you might have all the money
It takes an average of like 3 minutes to get 300 moneys on stage 1
Longer for eclipse
depending on where its located i can usually weave the halcyon shrine into my looting and do 7 minutes no problem
I remember omega did some testing earlier out of curiosity and i think thats kind of the average he came to
i wonder if playing on typhoon affects this since 25% more monsters spawn but they drop 20% less gold
you would think it would be the same overall since 1.25x0.8=1
Well due to the way eclipse rounds prespawn beetle money down
I think it comes out a bit lower
And eclipse 6 is just straight up -20% money from enemies too
guh
Wee
woo
What did you just say
huh
kuh
Muh
if a log drops but i dotn pick it up
can it drop on a different stage from the same enemy
should i lowk kms
no
should i HIGHk kms
no
should i midkey kms
no
what about middlekey
it should mean the same thing as midkey but because of evolving language mid and middle have taken on a new meaning
I have to memorise sundered grove legendary spawns next time I play the game
im not wasting another 10 minutes searching
the final prismatic trial boss is hell as merc đ
theres 5 spots
and glowing mushrooms where it is
I can only bother searching for two of them
also remind me not to pick up shaped glass on merc
maybe i was just being an idiot here asking too long to decide what item
but jesus christ man
the answer is atg
I was gonna pick chrono cos death mark
but then theres regenerating scrap for commencement cauldrons
atg 
and then atg is just a good item
yeah that death was on you
sighh
I think the enemies shouldâve been dealt with beforehand
swing by the tri shop, see whatâs inside, and keep moving, considering later what you want to grab
yh lol
hell, maybe even wait to full loot all chests and chance shrines before making an informed decision
or a chance at a card to just get all three and eliminate the choice
dont kill yourself, kill me instead
I wonder why golems have skeletons, i mean what is even the purpose of it, as far as i can see they have the ability to slightly separate their limbs and put it in segments
nuh uh i have less
why did I get so unlucky with this prismatic trial
making me do a whole new run to unlock their logbook just so i can never read it
guys just unlocked this skin do u think it is the hardest skin to get in the new dlc i am currently trying to get all the skin from the dlc alloyed collective
oh no thats like
the easiest one lol
trying to get
?
id say the hardest is loader maybe? maybe captain maybe rex
bruh it was really hard for me
acrid is arguably easier
whats your loadout
default
What's the name of the item you get from the pre-final dlc boss ?
and also blast, blast is usually worse but its very good against solus heart
i have it lol
well sotp being masochistic âźď¸
nay
lol i just forgot about that
lights out is based
i dont care how based it is
one of the most beautiful skin in migh opion
bandit cooldowns are short as hell as is
i agree
nah lights out is a competitive choice
all of the "accept" skins are beautiful
Encrypted Cerebellum?
its better than desperado in rush runs
fym iron auroras i dont even have the dlc
what is the difference between desperado and light out
ughh
never checked the description
read them !
yeah that one, doesn't the opened thing spoil what happens if you accept the thing of the solus heart or whatever?
theyâre both functionally exactly the same, except:
- Lightâs Out resets cooldowns on kill
- Desperado adds 10% damage to itself on kill
ho cool that is op
Same range too right?
exactly the same everything except for the on-kill effect
oh and desperado has slayer
the Slayer effect is also very strong
important to note that lights out resets cooldowns and also all charges
lights out? also has slayer
and desperado resets its damage boost when progressing stages
i really light out because u can littery fly if u spam smoke bomb and light out
Slayer increases the damage of the attack by 2% for every 1% health the enemy is missing
yeah
so an hitting an enemy at half hp with an ability that has Slayer will do double damage
desperado is better for regular pace runs
lights out is better for rush runs
which are difficult
itâs important to note that items that proc off abilities that have Slayer will not receive this damage bonus and will act as if Slayer does not exist
i tend to rush my run because i have a really bad pc
items that proc off lights out or desperado also wont grant the on kill effect if they land the kill except brilliant behemoth
NO DUDE
when i say rush run i mean skipping a few chests to go faster
FRICK I DIED RIGHT AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET THE MERC PRESMATIC TRIAL ACHIEVMENT
and having like a 5 minute or less time per stage
well at least you got that far
#that #asshole recommended this to new players btw
lmaoo
i have 450 hours and i just go for 1 item a minute
i call it the 5 minute challenge because its a challenge
i can only do like 2 loop with my pc
loops dont rly matter
im doing it too lmao
what matters between a standard and rush run is time taken per stage
this run's the best
my pc can handle basically anything ROR2 throws at meâŚ
except Deus Ex + Electric Boomerang with any on hit projectile item
except for the final teleporter
though a long run deep into a loop usually prefers desperado
i really like the special stage when u do a loop
though it usually doesnt matter
i take 10 min per stage
yo
you would think so
however your damage is so high that your special really doesnât matter anymore and you just shoot everything with your primary
did it really have to be glass
usually thatâll kill in 1-2 shots
time doesnt matter as long as you're looting
yeah i did say that afterwards
along with void jailer
its nearly a non factor
Lightâs Out is just a more engaging ability for me
yuh uh
it also lets me do this
one of my favorite skills in the game by far
grahhh
fuck sorta ror2 are you playing
yes i know its mods
meanwhile me with my serrated dagger
shiv is better
i prefer dagger
thats fair
Iâve got a lot of mods but Iâve made it a point to keep core gameplay mostly unchanged
same
what is really good with bandit is that u can escape fall dammage and use dagger
the biggest changes to gameplay I have is Quality and ScorchWormTweaks
the only mod i have that isnt qol or a survivor mod is fathomless voidling
i lost another damageless prismatic trial run
you can use shiv too
quality was too non vanilla for me
also Umbral
i should try umbral
never try it ii will try later
this merc prismatic trial challenge is going to make me fucking insane
I reached a point in playing the game where, once I got to Mithrix, I knew I would always win and it was never a challenge
so I upgraded to Umbral and Iâm glad I did 
should i try Starstorm2 mod
not recommended if you wanna keep your sanity
its quite different form the base game i think you should play more of the base game first
yea sure it feels like a smaller dlc
SS2 is awesome but I donât like the in run content as much as the survivors
yeah sure still have not unlocked rex
theyâre definitely the highlight of it for me
i wanna be able to play the survivors without the rest of the content 
i still havent gotten the second survivor what is he even about
but id have to unlock the survivors
wait really i saw it add a lot of thing like boss and event
which ones do you have right now
it does add that
its big but every dlc in this game is big
uh the first one they give you for free
Executioner
wait dont tell me that there is more than 2

any tips for unlocking rex the only survivor i dont have
currently there are 4 in the main mod, but in the beta there areâŚ
more
you can swap fuel array out for another equipment during a stage
artifact of command could help here
just remmeber to pick it back up again
also artifact of glass if you know how to dodge
it is NOT
how
smart
yeah it so op
we got a horde of many void barnacle and a blazing void jailer
glass is a death sentence for new players
alongside glass
dude you dont have to fight all of them
I personally dislike pushing the difficulty of the game to unreasonable extremes
wdym
there are 3 crytsals you'll find on your way to your teleporter which is just enough
what would be the unreasonable extreme in ror2
destroy them then run for your life
I know there are plenty of people who seemingly enjoy it, but itâs not for me
I thought you only destroyed the time crystals so you could start the teleporter
guys how much time took u for 100% the game
you do
i havent yet lol
the faster you do it the less enemies you'll have to fight since they wont have time to spawn
thereâs a specific difficulty I remember that added way too much shit, even up to giving the enemies many potent items
100% meaning all achievements including survivor ones?
on top of many added modifiers
ik
yeah
was it Armageddon?
im missing a single achievement with over 100+ hours
eesh
i think so
thatâs obviously on the extreme end
wdyt of e8 then
what achivment ?
I have 200 hours and Im not going to bother getting all survivor achievements
i dont play e8 because im more casual and just like monsoon how it is
i have like 72h
is that a question for koda or for in general?
damn
you can asnwer if you want
there is an alternate gamemode called prismatic trials, you have to beat this gamemode as merc (if you know who merc is)
without getting hit
is it possible lol
it is but VERY difficult im currently trying to do it
good luck đ
ive been trying with safer spaces and topaz brooch
Eclipse is obviously flawed, but for a vanilla system, I think the meaningful modifiers gradually acclimate you into playing better
but glass makes it harder to get the value out of brooch
yeah could work but u need a lot of safer space
yh
ok no glass really helps you
plus theres a blazing void jailer on the second stage
eclipse is fun on occasion
you just need to find the right time
id rather not have it
so I could kill loads of enemies for loads of barrier
I havenât tried the beta for it yet, but the storms system for SS2 is an interesting mechanic where you get a random temporary difficulty spike mid run
sounds fun
I donât like how itâs executed in regular SS2 however
idk man its my favourite artifact and as long as you could dodge there is nothing stopping you
where itâs just a movement speed check
yeah anyway gn guys
gn bro
also speaking of that
eh
uh yes its possibly the worse boss they couldve chosen
like oh my god bro
id rather fight mithrix there dude
SAME
perfected mithrix too
I can 100% no hit mithrix with glass
thatâs because itâs easier to keep track of one enemy than a dozen or so
i literally beat the final boss then died to the stupid stone giants
you're not really tracking anyone other than void jailer here
but you do have like 4 different snipers trying to kill you so
void jailer may be the hardest non champion enemy yeah
so thereâs 5 main enemies
to keep track of
wild
i havent been killed by one just because theyre so rare
those things are FODDER
non champion?
they cant shut up and what makes this worse is that they are guranteed to spawn
I donât think void jailers are difficult enemies
I think their root attack is dangerous
staying still is bad
fair
boss
theyre not difficult if youre not using glass
can you do me a favour and try the new prismatic trial as any melee survivor?
ah
Iâm a few hundred miles away from home
aw
what I recommend you do is watch Cabbageâs video
that means youâve nearly got it down
its just the second teleporter that sucks
and youâre almost there
well kinda
im trying to get the hang of it yea but its really not easy
ive had so many stupid deaths now
the elder lum killed me so many times
when I did my Ethereal I got quite lucky
there was a
spawn on the first stage for me to use on the second boss
on the trial?
wow
yea
LUCKY as hell
best you get for this one is gorags opus
đ
hey so uh
bummer
so ass
give me stupid survivor tier lists to make im bored !
hm
weâve done this already at some point but weâll see how you approach it
each survivorâs go-to breakfast
do one on each survivors sexual preferences
no you would start a war
drifter is lesbian
ok wish me luck ill start with the second teleporter
before i start this list
gl bro
valid
see this ones easy
hell i think i did it before
really lol
let me see if I can find the one we did before
NOO I DIED AFTER KILLING THE BOSS
HOW đ
stone golems stink
ah
they snipe you after killing their boss
its cool that its there and does its job well for the most part, but i dont enjoy the strategies it pushes and some of the modifiers, like e1 especially, feel arbitrary
after killing void jailer, you still have to survive the stone golems
e1 sucks yeah
cant you just use the teleporter
i see why people like ot, but i dont really see it as the answer to wanting an extra difficulty cause the means the extra difficulty is applied is so different to the steps between the main mode diffs
they're super fast and there is still a blackhole after you
it takes a bit to teleport you
ah
which is why i died
the more i think about it the more i feel its the worst modifier
i can understand every other one
i dont even see the vision behind it
e1 is nonsensical
what is it meant to do
eh i think of it as just moonson
im debating on a few of these
if it was something like 'non player specific allies -100% healing' thatd be one thing
bro
arti should see this one
commando is STRAIGHTTT
i think eclipse is pretty bad on paper but in practise it offers something cool
also what does objectum mean
also wdym commando is bi đ
hes too small to be straight
not sexually or romantically attracted
yeah seeker is def aroace imo
well you see
hydroflix linked proof otherwise
im mostly joking besides this is my Take on things
uh so the game displayed that i took fall damage but i didnt lose any health
lol
i linked proof otherwise
move rex to married couple
it can be both
true
what does objectum mean btw
died right as i was about to finish the boss
what song should i put on đ
attracted to objects instead of people
this is what we had settled on about 7 months ago
drifter im debating on operator i am not
operator makes sense but I think drifter is lesbian
oh yeah she totally would skip breakfast
lesbian objetum
yup
yeah ill think about that a bit
how do people even headcanon sexuality like that? /gen
because i like the game and picturing any of them as straight (except merc) hurts me
going off looks and lore
i want to relate to them . becasue i am autistic .
gah i got damaged a bit agyer the boss started
rip
merc though? hes reddit katana guy except for the fact that he kills high ranking officials
take a brooch
Captain is either with girilfailure Arti or mega gay gay homo gay homo homo gay
no middle ground for this server
arti is 100% a girlfailure thank you for saying that
girlfailiure?
pathetic
and also a girl
never heard of it
wait....................
captain is the type to ticktock heavy like im
hell yeah
i just want everyone to be in cool sci fi armour and not to have a focus on character so i can relate
I just remembered I had this in the back of a folder
oh my god i keep dying at that final boss
what the FUCK is this
risk of rain is a goldmine for that, thank you hopoo
gang đ
some straight BULLSHIT!!!!
agree
how do you avoid void jailer pull
save your special for that
or kill him before he does it
what if specials down
the only funny risk of rain tiktok Iâve seen
um pray
I want to know how to dodge it in case im not on merc
cool đ
redo, i have accidentally removed all of the bi people
and one of them reaps the rewards . idk who tho
as in one of the others
would viend x commando be selfcest
I DID IT
no
Commando is a title, not a person, in fact all of the survivor names are titles
except rex and acrid
almost
yah
oh my god ok this was totally worth it
what about john
john isnt a title
is operator a job title or is there only one
hello rorcordians
operator is a job title
like a droneman job
hi goobessa !!!!
just that our operator is cool because he has cybernetics
it can be assumed that there are multiple Operators
drones are for usage on ships, they werent cargo
except maybe tc 280
idk if this is fully true after ac actually, lemme check the logs
TC280 is very clearly a military grade drone
ok that merc achievement was totally worth it
wait i think that ive 100% the main game
ok yeah it seems they may not all be ues now
what if we made EviscerateâŚ
rangedâŚ
also we gave it Expose for whatever reason :P
gunner drones were security on the cl at least
goated ability
the viscerate
wait is there an achievement for beating the game as the secret character thing
no
i forgot their name
Heretic
theretic
alr good that means that i 100% the game
idk how stuff like beam and freeze drones would fit though, so i assume they werent active on the ship
im glad ac didnt just bring back beam drone
maybe beam drones were cargo and they're like common construction/deconstruction equipment
the most damage ive ever done is 5 quadrillion WHAT
evil and intimidating proc chain
im betting that it was done with c aptain but how
possibly
oh nvm the 5 quadrillion comes from loader somehow
kinda funny that there are 4 types of heal drone now
was i traveling at the speed of light or something how did i do that
tho i guess theres a lot of weaponry ones
heal emergency barrier anddd
doc?
heal, emergency, medical and barrier
wtf is medical drone
rorr
i do not remember encountering that
intriguing
here are the rest of the tier 2 drones
why is tier 2 flamethrower gif so large lol
medical drone and attack drone are the only naturally occurring ones
wouldnât you like to know
I like the redesigned drones in 2
theyâre more distinct
itâs completely ridiculous that theyâre propeller powered but it adds to the charm
i dont think they redesigned any ?
I meant the differences in designs between games
i guess they gave heal drones the green colouration
yeah they stayed largely the same visually
i guess medical drone got replaced by emergency
every time I think about 1/Returns I always think about how badly Laser Turbine translated over to 3D
man, Resonance Disc just doesnât work
How it feels defending commando from people saying he's bad
Commando bell curve is real
new player âthis guy is pretty coolâ
learning player âwow this guy is terrible, easily the worst survivor in the gameâ
experienced player âthis guy is pretty coolâ
@thin saddle LOVES commando
It really js
every time we play they say just how much they love commando
phase round best skill evah
and how commando has his own tier above everyone else
They've a pure heart
shoot enemy
shoot enemy but blue raspberry flavored
dodge enemy shoot
shoot fast
shoot a bunch*
shoot many
shoot many
shoot everything
shoot stun*
shoot many fast stun
I do wish Suppressive Fire had even close to the sauce it has in Returns
also allows resprints
same firerate just feels faster
I personally object to both specials as I instead opt for
POINT BLANK
which is objectively a dumb and overtuned ability but man do I love it
the "sit down halcyonite" button
hai guys :3
âwhat if we locked Phase Blast to even closer rangeâ
Wait what
Hello
if the hitbox of Suppressive Fire was a cone I would love it so much
i kinda wish rorr mando got an alt primary instead of slide
whats suppressive fire TwT
commando default special
yes i larp ror2 guys how could you tell
Commandoâs Special
ohhhh so not grenade
yeah grenade is better and all but i cant help but still be fond of the simplicity of supp fire
not like it matters anyways essence of heresy >>>
id say they are pretty equal
Suppressive Fire is probably the second best stunning move
"but he cant proc bands effectively!" just... dont build towards bands?
thats not really the point
technically itâs probably the best but functionally I count shocking as well
the point is if you happen to get bands now you have something to make sure they arent useless
i was gonna say scrappers and all exist but theyre not guaranteed for every run
phase round
you could still go all in on atg/soup reds
Phase Round only procs bands on second enemy hit
well yeah
i run phase blast suppressive fire and i dont mind getting bands because items like shuri and atg exist
true
still run all alternate but it could be a good idea to go for default everything again (EXCEPT ROLL)
i'd rather slide
roll used to have cool stuff but I think AC removed a lot of itâs tech
yeah
so Slide is the move
It's wild how shit that ability is
roll doesnât even have iframes :(
What were they thinking making that
roll was fine
roll was niche but mostly worse than slide
what could the usecase of rolling backwards possibly entice
It's just there to make you want to unlock its alt
skills 2.0 added a largely better alt and sots broke every advantage roll had
I wish they carved out its niche of being good at dodging instead of raw mobility like slide
dodging
Gulp
What advantages?
cant you still dodge with slide or is that significantly harder to do
roll had a lot of flexibility with verticality
you do a u turn instead of going directly back
momentum reset, freedom of backwards mobility, trimping
oh and horizontal movement mid air
sots broke every single one of them and its had no usecases since
Slide is more of a proactive dodge whereas Roll could be a reactive dodge
except itâs not
it just sucks :(
poor commando 3:
i hope they fix it soon, its been over a year
probably not
I feel like they're not gonna touch anything to do with old content
thank you gearbox đđđ
They released AC and False Son is still the way he is
the only old pieces of content theyâve touched are Vields and barrier
besides bug fixes
drones, lunar coins and artificer primaries also
What did they do with lunar coins?
what did they change about lunar coins again
and blind pests
they give them on achievement now
thats a decent change tbh
its minor but its a thing
I didn't know that wasn't a thing before
incentivises hunting achievements to get more coins
i think its weird idk
Huh
the lunar system isnât very good anyways
it kinda makes artificer always unlockable from the first bazaar visit
i try to avoid lunars tbh
specifically the lunar shop in the bazaar
Evil mooner:
i liked that you usually had to discover arti then go back for her
if you could only get lunars from pods it would be a lot better
apart from that its cool ig
still bad, but a lot better
not that 10 coins was ever hard tbf lol
without the bazaar you wouldnt necessarily be able to unlock heretic right
if it was just restricted to lunar pods
most likely not
is heretic bad game design?
lunar pod drops would need to be increased otherwise it wouldnât be possible
Heretic is a top 3 survivor
like, Seeker and False Son tier
I've just realized I have well over 2k hours and I have never played Heretic
i played heretic twice shes so fun
so yeah, they have changed barrier, void fields, void fog, drones, lunar coins, artificer primaries and blind pests
Actually maybe one time like 2 years ago I have no idea
Idk how people enjoy heretic tbh her kit is so m1 sim
The m2 is interesting but has fucked up charging conversion
i like heretic, shes just too strong
skill cycle survivors are cool
being able to manage her healthpool and such is what makes her fun in my eyes
i like em simple
I think it just needs actual linear charge time scaling
Idk if this is fact but I've heard the charge time -> distance conversion isn't linear which is why it's so hard to get used to
plus m2 is surprisingly unique to a degree
i think it changes velocity not distance
i find is pretty intuitive personally
I mean same thing for the most part unless there's drag involved
Shrug
I've used hooks like actually twice since it's so weird to use
i recommend giving it another shot, its fun once you get it down
And one of those times I just teleported to bazaar and tried to get used to it đ
Heretic has:
- the highest damage stat of any survivor
- the most health of any survivor
- the most base mobility of any survivor (1m/s extra speed and 3 jumps)
- a decent M1 that synergizes incredibly well with her Special (which is one of the most powerful abilities in the game)
- Viendâs utility but even better
all at the cost of having negative health regen which gets negated by 2
and her Utility
incredible
its not really anything like viend util
does Shadowfade cleanse I forget
+ noxious thorns is stupid good
dont think so
is also very useful, as it allows you to practically apply Ruin stacks 100% of the time
even after Ruin is used
strides is my least fav heresy item so i dont use it much
oh yeah right
strides of heresy is shift right?
i still prefer transport
it does beeg damage and shadowfade doesnt provide much for them
yeah that one is really good on pretty much anyone who doesnt rely on their utility for damage
Transport Mode does let you proc bands on bigger enemies
I⌠am the meowerâŚ
meow
Meowwwww
a respectable band proc too
chat, the meower is here !!!
meow meow
Yeah she is
i'd argue captain when not using diablo strike
Orbitals are still pretty good
That's a big hit to your aoe tho
Also band procs
orbital probes are very strong
It's also a 3000% burst which is like
its pretty comparable to ballista
wait wouldnât Viend actually be really good with Strides
NOW look at the silly
doesnât he still get corrupted Trespass
As long as you're not deliberately using their worse utility (i.e. commando roll) I feel like no survivors really want strides
cute !!!
id still rather have uncorrupted trespass
cutest cat ever of all time
shadowfade is sluggish and trespass allows you to charge secondary
i guess the healing could be good maybe
this is true
Lowk meows
But unfortunately viend has the funny button
but using it evasively would set you back in corruption
this too tru
Was that tuff
yes bestie
Thanks bestie
the healing from Suppress is a decent bit stronger than Shadowfade as well
rex?
25% vs ~18%
his push doesnt seem too effective so why wouldnt you pick the better movement option
Util is good burst movement and if you're running alt free healing
alt util provides better heals and mobility id say
ig being intangible is cool but shadowfade just feels so slow
thatâs because Shadowfade is just regular movement speed
yea
except you can also walk in midair
Rex's util is a "get the fuck away from me" tool that also heals you and knocks both targets back and has the option to not knock yourself back while shadowfade is just "I'm gonna disappear for a bit"
i think we found the worst util
real?
I'd still take it over roll but wow that's a low bar
I LOVE peanut butter
i kinda wanna say chef utilities but i know thatll just make me sound horrendously stupid TwT
the fact that you cant control his default well enough pains me
Oil Spill is good by technicality ONLY
Roll is one of the best general mobility tools in the game </3
id keep still keep roll and polar field device over shadowfade, but maybe thats just a me thing
and Roll is really good until it kills you but thatâs fine
i really dislike what they did to roll
Roll went from default mobility to way too fast in a single update
it has these really really weird physics that merc has with m2
they turned a pretty alright combat mobility skill into a skill that makes it difficult to engage in combat
to the point where you can die from fall damage without leaving the ground
mercs m2 isnt bad because you can reasonably control it
chef roll was an omen for faraday spurs
Also because you can dash cancel with it which is awesome
when roll goes off for like a good 3s it feels bad to control
Roll can never be fully charged or else youâll go all over the place
you always gotta charge 1 or 2 tiers
when do you charge 3?
i liked old roll more, they shouldve just given it slight speed proportional to charge time i think
open road
pillarskip?
no obstacles anywhere near you
General traversal on less hilly areas
also this
Roll is by far the most free pillar skip in the game
i wish i liked oil spill
okay noted
with the exception of like 
reprieve
Oh I see
cuz the 2 times i played chef i just hurled myself with 3 charges everywhere and he didnt feel good to play
Sorry for trying ??
you just look at the arena and press the button
wtf did I do to be unable to uninstall arknights
blame google
play a bit more trust
oh corrupted files?
No
oil in general just isnât very good to play around, so one of the key features of Oil Spill is just kinda lame
I actually checked
i like glaze
and so youâre left with a really odd mobility skill that makes CHEF harder to play
The shortcut is on my desktop but there isn't a single arknights file on my pc
Glaze is different though because Glaze applies Weaken
Oil Spill does not
Searching for a game that doesn't exist
giving a pierce character stupid verticality on both utils was certainly a choice
I'm gonna restart my pc
good idea
chef lacks flow and thats a shame given they are a combo character
one thing i noticed with chef is that luminous shot goes surprisingly hard on him
Glaze isnât a bad ability because it uses oil
Glaze is the worse ability because Yes CHEF is overpowered
Are we deadass
i dont like yes chef ngl
gotta love how the dlc characters have "bad" abilities when theyre still really good on any other base survivor
Yes CHEF definitely couldâve been executed much better
its current implementations across the abilities is quite clunky
but i think using it kinda removes what makes chef chef for me
his ice cube shouldnt do that much damage and his armor shift during yes chef is wonky as fuck
cant you also animation cancel to immediately throw ice??
I can't open, observe, uninstall or see the location of arknights
