daring hedge

shy gulch

edgy arrow
#

you good at the game huh

#

classic Tail

shy gulch
#

who couldve guessed tail is good at this game

#

who couldve

gaunt fiber
#

I'd just lower HL

#

It would be like my 40

#

Or easier maybe

edgy arrow
#

see? he isn’t even intimidated

gaunt fiber
#

Hell mode has CP tho and PL can be bad

#

That would be a real challenge still

mossy zinc
#

PL doesn't matter if you don't get hit.

gaunt fiber
#

Yes

edgy arrow
#

CP mirrorless sounds like pain for sure

gaunt fiber
#

And not getting hit is hard

mossy zinc
#

For you, I guess.

shy gulch
#

i missed these nyaanyaa comments

gaunt fiber
#

What

#

That one was boring

shy gulch
#

yeah but i havent seen any of them

#

in so long

tidal flame
#

Astaos bad, Nyaanyaa good, upvote to the left. Praise Geraldo.

shy gulch
#

its been a while since ive talked here

#

tbh

daring hedge
#

croven's been busy being a little gremlin elsewhere

gaunt fiber
shy gulch
#

indeed tail

tidal flame
#

I don't get the gremlin meme there

gaunt fiber
tidal flame
#

Someone fill me in?

daring hedge
#

it's simple

shy gulch
#

its a stupid inside joke

daring hedge
#

croven = little gremlin

fallow stream
shy gulch
#

thats the joke

#

also

#

astaos

tidal flame
#

I know that one

shy gulch
#

are u still on the

#

GY any heat grind

gaunt fiber
#

Pff

#

Why would I

shy gulch
#

because you hate yourself

#

?

daring hedge
#

gottem

gaunt fiber
#

Ah

mossy zinc
#

Astaos is working on 61 Heat Guan Yu mirrorless.

gaunt fiber
#

The pain

shy gulch
#

i forget did u get WR

gaunt fiber
#

Oh yeah I did

shy gulch
#

ah ok

#

fair enough then

#

whats ur time

gaunt fiber
#

8"31

shy gulch
#

p pog

gaunt fiber
#

Pretty bad dad fight

#

Triple darkness

shy gulch
#

do u need charged skewer to go sub 9 w GY btw

gaunt fiber
#

Serrated would do it too

shy gulch
#

ok so just charged skewer

#

serrated doesnt exist

#

i have decided

gaunt fiber
#

But you need a hammer and ME

#

Or stupid hermes luck

#

You wanna go for the WR?

mossy zinc
gaunt fiber
#

Haha

shy gulch
#

LOL

#

thts true

#

i do not wanna go for GY WR

gaunt fiber
#

I've got some good teaching since

shy gulch
#

i dont really hate myself too much

mossy zinc
#

Who taught you?

gaunt fiber
#

The name's Nyaanyaa Mewmew

green citrus
#

Weird name

shy gulch
#

huh

#

never heard of them

gaunt fiber
daring hedge
#

sell it

mossy zinc
#

Oh yeah, that's true. squirtdevious

shy gulch
#

is this whats called stockholm syndrome

daring hedge
#

lmao

gaunt fiber
#

Here we go again

green citrus
#

My my

gaunt fiber
#

Double zero

green citrus
#

That one sounds pretty good 🙂

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah true

green citrus
#

High heat gang, is sub 10 Arthur 40 heat worth grinding?

shy gulch
#

as a non high heat gang

#

no

mossy zinc
#

I mean if you want to do it.

gaunt fiber
#

That would be super impressive

green citrus
#

We're in high heat strat channel @shy gulch

#

Join us or get out

#

🙂

gaunt fiber
#

But it will come down to the same as any heat

shy gulch
#

time 2 lurk

gaunt fiber
#

And any heat does not really like you

#

Today at least

green citrus
#

Any heat the struggle man

shy gulch
#

just do mom pom arthur but 50 heat

green citrus
#

I don't think anyone would want to break sub 10 Arthur 40 heat though so that seems like a safe record

mossy zinc
#

1. Be kind.

shy gulch
#

is nyaanyaa really gonna be the one to remind us of this rule

daring hedge
#

also i want to watch that

green citrus
#

Exactly what I'm thinking LUL

gaunt fiber
shy gulch
#

lol

#

these are all valid points

gaunt fiber
#

Tail is right

green citrus
#

I was real close last time, I got 10:38 with a 3 sack

gaunt fiber
#

Then you can do it

#

Do it

#

Because you can

green citrus
#

I appreciate the support ❤️ haha

gaunt fiber
green citrus
#

I really want that any heat sub 8 too though, it's a drag one way or the other haha

gaunt fiber
#

Everytime they go like "I like Arthur but it's so sloooow man"

#

Slam that 40 heat sub 10

green citrus
#

Hahahaaaa, you're so right

daring hedge
#

you're def gonna get a run with just a randomly crazy elysium and overall pace, 2sack etc, like

#

before my 8:36 40 heat my patch best was like 10m

#

you'll def get it with arthur

shy gulch
#

yeah some runs just kinda

#

surprise u

green citrus
#

Yeah, I definitely see something crazy happening too. Thing is, 8:36 is blazing for Arthur even at any heat lol

shy gulch
#

my beowulf pb dropped 2 full minutes at one point

#

and so did my poseidon sword pb

daring hedge
#

oh i know i just mean sub 10

shy gulch
#

its wild

daring hedge
#

absolutely possible with your ability

green citrus
#

I'm working with room rng at this point, it's like gambling irl

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah I'm still amazed by these double dash backstab crits

green citrus
#

With Ruthless Reflex too squirtnya

gaunt fiber
#

Ruthless HC LC2

#

That's pog

#

Unlikely in 40 tho lol

green citrus
#

Yeah super unlikely haha. I'm probably going to run a deadly reversal build for 40 heat

gaunt fiber
#

Owl pendant?

#

Or the classic highroll Deadly strike

green citrus
#

Probably just because it has more options for me off rip. But it also makes sense to start arti keepsake and then pendant in aspho

#

I need a natural arti or athena in tart either way really

gaunt fiber
#

Welcome to ME

#

You'll need divine dash too it's basically ME

green citrus
#

loooollll, DR really is as high roll as ME imo. It needs so many damn boons

#

If it was any other sword, I could use DR well with special but not arthur

#

Too dang slow

gaunt fiber
#

Phalanx shot deflect let's go

sly remnant
#

I like phalanx

torn vapor
#

And Phalanx likes you too blobhug2

spiral island
#

Well I love Phalanx

wanton plover
halcyon flame
#

is sisyphus' healing affected by lc?

shy gulch
#

yeah

fallow stream
#

Unless they patched it, I believe the only thing that circumvents LC at 100% is stubborn roots

shy plinth
#

Guan Yu

mossy zinc
#

Guan Yu spin, Cursed Slash, Draining Cutter, Stubborn Roots, and Quick Recovery are unaffected by LC.

halcyon flame
#

just had a great 32 heat arthur run going but i ran out of time in elysium :)

wanton plover
#

:(

halcyon flame
#

i'm starting to appreciate npc rooms more because the timer isn't ticking and i don't have to frantically dash to the exit

halcyon flame
#

decent amount of time and got broken resolve + heart rend in styx

#

terrible dps

#

died :((

wanton plover
#

:( x2

halcyon flame
#

i was trying for an extremely safe damage reduction build

#

you can tell how that worked out with td3

opal token
#

I find it very difficult to combine dodging with doing enough dmg to clear td3

#

Which is why I still have 100% healing on at 32 Heat haha

halcyon flame
#

i think next time i'll go for an aphro build with exposed on dash and doom on special

#

hopefully raw damage with p.status and boiling blood will do me better

#

and also a 2-sack

wanton plover
#

td2 should be possible for every aspect but td3 does feel hard sometimes

vital grove
#

Try divine strike

#

It's pretty good

halcyon flame
#

i think i'd be getting more consistency out of aphro on attack and divine dash

chilly sun
#

very unfamiliar with the rail but beat 32 heat first try baybyyy

gaunt fiber
#

Grats Tisiphone handholder

edgy arrow
#

nice

#

wait have you done 40 on sword but only just cleared 32 on rail

#

respect

#

take that eris

chilly sun
#

thank you!!!

chilly sun
#

only shield and spear left, i'd say this was a perfect run if i didnt get merciful end in the STYX

edgy arrow
#

better than no ME at all, but i feel you

chilly sun
#

yea!! dire misfortune did a lot of work honestly because up to the styx it was just. doom and athena dash as i try not to die to the deadline

edgy arrow
#

doom on attack for fists is surprisingly decent, even before ME

#

used properly its comparable DPS to lightning strike apparently, which is extremely counter intuitive to me but the math checks out

chilly sun
#

it works out for sure!!!

#

the extra three dashes were a lifesaver honestly

chilly sun
edgy arrow
#

yeah it can get a bit one note sometimes

chilly sun
#

i get that it's amazing but man :|

edgy arrow
#

lol yeah

#

like, i don't mind if its someone's favourite weapon because they think its fun, but it seems like half the playerbase only plays it because someone told them it was OP

#

which is true, but variety is the spice of life and all that

chilly sun
#

Agreed!!!

#

And I really like the gimmick weapons like Rama more myself, i feel like it's good to have a balance between good build and fun build

edgy arrow
#

my favourite weapon is beowulf so agreed

prime lintel
#

Love Beowulf, it's still my only 32 clear

chilly sun
#

charged throw beowulf 👀

#

or flight however it's called

prime lintel
#

the special hammer?

edgy arrow
#

i always get charged shot and charged flight confused

prime lintel
#

or do you mean the Rush hammer?

edgy arrow
#

both shield hammers, completely different effects

#

oh lol clearly not just me

prime lintel
#

Charged flight is the special i think, Shot is the Rush hammer

edgy arrow
#

yeah that's correct

chilly sun
#

the special sorry!

edgy arrow
#

both are really good on beo

prime lintel
#

Ooooh, maybe I'll try that next time

chilly sun
#

Agreed!;

gaunt fiber
chilly sun
#

you're very valid

prime lintel
#

A non-cast run on Beo

#

first time for everything i guess

chilly sun
#

if works but only if you get the hammer

edgy arrow
#

charged flight might lowkey be the key to getting beo to work at 55+

#

that's purely theoretical atm tho

chilly sun
#

a good way to approach higher heat i feel is to go along with the hammer you are given and build around it

#

I've seen a 57 heat clear with aphro special and charged flight so!

edgy arrow
#

wait who did that

#

when was this

halcyon flame
#

which hammers are best for beo at 32 heat?

gaunt fiber
edgy arrow
#

oh

chilly sun
halcyon flame
#

does the block hammer affect cast damage or just attack damage and move speed?

chilly sun
#

I saw it on yt

edgy arrow
#

Astaos new beo wr holder

#

pls send link yus

#

if that's legit its a world record

chilly sun
#

Oh I'm sorry i remembered the number wrong. :[

#

still a meme though

edgy arrow
gaunt fiber
#

F

halcyon flame
#

does ferocious guard affect casts?

chilly sun
#

charged shot is basically rama that can block

edgy arrow
chilly sun
#

ooooo

halcyon flame
#

sudden rush is great but maybe not so much on beo since a big part of using it effectively is only charging up to certain point

chilly sun
#

I like ferocious guard honestly though then again I haven't played shield in literal months

edgy arrow
#

sudden rush is absolutely still great on beo

halcyon flame
#

dashing wallop is nice since i use dash-attack so often with beo, it feels so powerful

chilly sun
#

wallop is great!

#

pulverizing blow also works

edgy arrow
#

yeah pulverizing blow is also really good

edgy arrow
#

at that time the record was 52 heat using basically exactly the same build

chilly sun
#

ohhhh ok!!!

halcyon flame
#

how does pulverizing blow look with beo

edgy arrow
#

it good

chilly sun
#

big number go brrr

#

hmm i think I'll do guan yu for 32 heat

#

Probably with deflecto spins or arty special, whichever hammer ends up on my hands

halcyon flame
#

achilles + hunting blades is pretty great from what i've heard

chilly sun
#

It's absolutely insane but I'm not very good with achilles

halcyon flame
#

achilles can be a bit hard to get a handle on

halcyon flame
#

should i take chaos on high heat?

onyx venture
#

I do, but I'm no expert. If you're running SD there isn't much reason not too except maybe if using AP2

halcyon flame
#

yeah that seems fair

onyx venture
#

It still helps with time, which is important

halcyon flame
#

should i only take it in later sections?

#

i personally wanna make sure my hp is above 30% for as long as possible throughout the run

onyx venture
#

I take Chaos every time (with rare exception) unless it's right before a boss

gaunt fiber
#

I used to be afraid of Chaos in high heat

#

but usually it's nice

#

Oh and most of the time my health was too low back then squirtyay

edgy arrow
#

chaos good

#

particularly for cast weapons

halcyon flame
#

gonna go on another arthur 32 heat attempt, any high heat players willing to send me tips aside from which boons i should get

gaunt fiber
#

make use of the dashes to repositon in between your slashes

#

backstab

#

don't get hit if you're hp is gonna fall to the 0 threshold

edgy arrow
#

don’t use the special too much

#

it’s good, but often isn’t necessary and can be a distraction

#

plus the animation takes 800 years so no reason to commit to it if you don’t need to

halcyon flame
#

i'd like to think my main downfall was my reaction time suddenly jumping out of the window but it was more likely just that my dps was reeaaalllyy bad

#

gonna try using antos and going for aphro on attack, exposed on dash and maybe doom on special if the opportunity arises

#

or maybe hunting blades since i'm already using a close-range weapon and can slow down enemies

gaunt fiber
halcyon flame
#

being able to dash during the special animation helps

edgy arrow
#

to be fair, how will we find out who is king if no one lodges in it there real good

gaunt fiber
#

That's right

edgy arrow
#

although actually

halcyon flame
#

if zag can lodge it into the ground and then easily pull it out immediately after does that make him king?

gaunt fiber
#

I think so

edgy arrow
#

my arthurian myth knowledge isn’t the best, but iirc Excalibur was the sword given to Arthur by the lady of the lake, not the one in the stone

#

so Zag should really yeet it into a pond if he wants to help out

gaunt fiber
#

sometimes they mix

#

A fun myth for sure

edgy arrow
#

fair yeah i guess there’s never one version of these things

edgy arrow
#

seems kinda dodgy

halcyon flame
#

then again is stygius even that good?

edgy arrow
#

it’s called

#

Good Riddance

halcyon flame
#

goddamnit i was about to say that

edgy arrow
#

great minds lmao

gaunt fiber
#

Special > lose sword > bare fists fighting

#

Actually the holy aura could be a ring

edgy arrow
#

“press Q to yeet weapon irretrievably”

vital grove
#

Press F10 to lodge sword in stone

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, Arthur pulls the Master Sword out of a stone, and then he throws it into a lake, and the Lady of the Lake gives it back to him, and then it's Excalibur.

gaunt fiber
#

And then Link finds it somehow

mossy zinc
#

That's just silly. Link doesn't use Excalibur.

gaunt fiber
#

I'll tell you some useless info

#

In the french translation of A link to the past, the Master Sword simply became "Excalibur".

edgy arrow
#

wym that’s super useful

#

link = arthur confirmed

halcyon flame
#

time for spear

#

i can't wait to be forced to get sub 19 or less with the spear on extremely high difficulty

tidal flame
#

Spear hard hate spear

halcyon flame
#

oh i'm sure i'll do fine with achilles and hunting blades

#

btw i just noticed tailesque has a "120 heat" run video, was there just no max heat at some point in early access?

mossy zinc
#

Spear is easy, just get Flurry Jab.

halcyon flame
#

i never get flurry jab

#

🥲

daring hedge
halcyon flame
#

how could you even deal with enemies being so ridiculously tanky?

#

and 72 damage when your max health is only 125... yikes

daring hedge
#

Lack of tight deadline made it possible lol

halcyon flame
#

was speedrunning even a thing back then?

#

y'know what with it taking nearly a full minute to kill an exalted shade

shy plinth
#

Seeded seemed to be more popular back in the old days from the vids I've found

gaunt fiber
#

I thought for a sec that you were ranking legendary weapons by popularity

spiral island
#

Hey lads I beat 32 heat on my first try of the day

shy plinth
#

Grats!

#

Though not just lads in here 🙂

true fable
#

all gamers 💯

shy gulch
#

congrats!

spiral island
#

I just say lads as a greeting pretty much

#

I’m welcoming to all though

true fable
#

thats why i use gamers

#

regardless of gender we are all identified by our enslavement by the serotonin machine

shy gulch
#

💯

spiral island
#

Ah

#

Also hey Croven

#

You’re a rad lad

true fable
#

LOL

shy gulch
#

i

#

thank you

spiral island
#

No problem mate

shy gulch
#

thats the nicest someones been to me all year

rain sedge
#

I'm just a casual, not a gamer

shy gulch
#

ok gamer

true fable
#

are you not

#

a casual

#

gamer

spiral island
#

Well, it’s only February so I guess that’s not so bad

rain sedge
#

well

#

casual !== gamer

true fable
#

yes but they are not mutually exclusive

spiral island
#

People should really be nicer to eachother

#

Just generally

#

I like to be nice to people, and you’ve helped me out quite a bit Croven.

rain sedge
#

croven is indeed pog

#

you're a pog frog @shy gulch

spiral island
#

If I had nectar, I’d give it to you.

shy gulch
#

a

#

LMAO

#

pog frog

#

thats my name now

spiral island
#

Froggers

shy gulch
#

rad lad is very close but

#

pog frog is just something else

spiral island
#

Yes

rain sedge
#

lmfao you actually changed it

shy gulch
#

i did indeed

spiral island
#

But of course

#

Alright, time to unveil my final prize

#

Wow... it looks so

#

Valiant

#

Worth it I’ll say

gaunt fiber
#

Nice name

somber oracle
#

still not great at higher heats, should i work up to it bit by bit or just learn in the run?

vital grove
#

On the subject of gender neutrals

#

How do you address they/them with sir/madam/miss etc, is there something?

gaunt fiber
shy gulch
gaunt fiber
#

But do the 20-32 jump it's fun

shy gulch
#

lol

#

I think I went like 20-25-32 after working my way up to 20

somber oracle
#

yeah i mean tbh captain does work i use cap as part of my name on twitch so people call me cap akjsdkjasd

gaunt fiber
#

Or call by the name it's ok

somber oracle
#

and thanks y'all! gonna try these things

shy gulch
#

yeah np, come back if u got more questions

vital grove
gaunt fiber
#

I don't talk to strangers

shy gulch
#

problem solved

gaunt fiber
#

Too scared

vital grove
#

I do tho

#

Quandary

rain sedge
#

so try doing TD3, can you clear it in time? get familiar with EM3, do BP2 to check out the armored enemy combos, etc etc

#

I think most importantly get used to FO1/FO2, because that will change your dodge/gameplay timing

#

good luck!

somber oracle
#

oh i'm used to FO2

#

i play on that regularly

shy gulch
#

that’s a good start then yeah

somber oracle
#

that's like when i just need to fill out like 6 heat to get bounties

shy plinth
#

Fo2 makes the game much more difficult

#

So if you're having trouble scaling maybe don't start there

#

It's so punishing to try out hard labor if you're already on fo2

#

Where are you running into a wall?

rain sedge
#

if you're used to FO2 that's a huge chunk done

#

and what is "higher heat" to you?

somber oracle
#

i havent gotten the 16 heat reward yet

#

i've done 12 heat beowulf

shy plinth
#

This is the sequence I usually recommend

#

What have you done on there

somber oracle
#

i havent done any of those all together

gaunt fiber
#

You even have a sequence

shy plinth
#

Yeah it's a v common question

rain sedge
#

UC and CF tho hat

shy plinth
#

And I really like starting out with em BP mm just to get used to them

#

Yeah those are debatable obv

#

Could easily just run fo1 though

#

If they're used to fo2 already

somber oracle
#

yeah i use fo2 for like. fun

shy plinth
#

I don't have as much fun when asterius kills me lol

rain sedge
#

eeeeh whatever, that list works I guess

shy plinth
#

But props for that

somber oracle
#

i had a like. 32 run streak? where i always had some level of FO

rain sedge
#

alright good luck and have fun

shy plinth
#

Gotta go fast

#

The pinned advice is def helpful

#

Just gotta work up over time

somber oracle
#

thanks y'all! gonna start workin on it

shy plinth
#

Schad put together a lot of useful info though it's aimed at 32 instead of 16 but it should apply

#

Can just ease off the hard labor and lasting consequences

true fable
#

thats a pretty good scale hat

#

imo

#

not very punishing and gets people used to heat

waxen relic
#

I'm not seeing the value of constantly switching Tight Deadline on and off nor am i sure about EM3 as soon as possible, but sure, ain't gonna hurt in the long run.

mossy zinc
dire steppe
#

hey nya give me 40 advice

#

heat or years, either works

shy plinth
dire steppe
#

32! heat sounds scary

shy plinth
#

Haven't gotten sub 10 yet either

#

Oh yes that is very scary

mossy zinc
#

I didn't do sub 10 until well after I did 52. It's a very different focus.

dire steppe
#

LC20 would actually make the game easier than LC4 lol

mossy zinc
#

What is this advice you're looking for, and why would I give it to you if you can't say please nor address me by my rightful title? dusa

rain sedge
#

then 45 or something

#

all aspects can be very unfun

shy plinth
#

Makes sense

true fable
#

is 45 heat all aspects or 50 heat all weapons a more sane goal thanthink

rain sedge
#

well

#

50 all weapons is 3 very hard runs

#

45 all aspects is more very hard runs

true fable
#

i think i still have 4

#

for all weapons

#

or 16-17 for all aspects

rain sedge
#

you've done beo, rail is very doable for a competent player like you, rama is doable with so many footage from tail

true fable
#

ive done rail

rain sedge
#

wtf

true fable
#

have not done bow/sword/spear/fists

rain sedge
#

I'm bad now

true fable
#

hestia baby

rain sedge
#

I have to do 54/56 soon before I have to change my name to very casual again

#

you can do bow bright

#

and maybe fish for ME on fist

amber totem
#

Max heat is 63 right

sly remnant
#

64 with hell mode

amber totem
#

how u get hell mode

sly remnant
#

Start a new save file. Its an option at the creation screen below the save slot rectangle

amber totem
#

Oh no wonder... Thanx bro @sly remnant

#

I'm like doing 1 heat at a time for each weapon... Its at 16 now.. Long way to go

#

Wan to do a complete bounty run

wraith imp
#

Hi. It's been a while. I'm checking in to ask what's the new highest heat completed...anyone know?

amber totem
#

60

#

As far as I know

#

using rama

halcyon flame
#

32 heat advice with beo?

spiral island
#

Drunken flare is really good

#

Get it

#

It does a bunch of damage

halcyon flame
#

it could help with getting swarmed

spiral island
#

Yeah

#

Also go for chaos cast too

halcyon flame
#

plus last time i ran trippy flare it literally decimated elysium

spiral island
#

Extra cast I mean

halcyon flame
#

and with only 2 casts

#

i never get fully loaded shadegrief

spiral island
#

Hmm

#

It's rare

#

It took me ages to get the last duo for the duos prophecy

halcyon flame
#

even on non-cast builds i straight up just don't get fully loaded because the prereqs are consistently getting pushed to the side by other boons, even t2s

spiral island
#

Yeah

#

There's still one Legendary I need for the Legendary Prophecy

Artemis's legendary is elusive, much like herself

spiral island
#

Yeah

spring kettle
#

Whereas Aphrodite gives her legendary out like it's candy

spiral island
#

Unfortunately the one I need is from Dio

halcyon flame
spring kettle
#

I have to get like every other artemis boon before she finally offers fully loaded

#

That's why I generally don't try on cast builds and just go for artemis cast duos

halcyon flame
#

i might as well take the hourglass and buy prometheus stones

#

at least they're more likely to show the hell up than support fire and exit wounds

spring kettle
#

even gambling on getting more stones from chaos has better odds

halcyon flame
#

how is getting 2 t2 boons from aphrodite easier than getting literally just two random boons from artemis

spring kettle
#

Duos with artemis are more reliable, at least you can try getting boons from the other god as well

halcyon flame
#

i feel like pressure points is the only one of those prereqs that actually ever shows up

spring kettle
#

Pressure points is also strong on non cast builds

#

Support fire can be more hit and miss, and exit wounds just isn't an option for 3 casts

halcyon flame
#

pressure points is generally just strong

hardy linden
#

exit wound and quick reload might work, but not worth

hello nyaa

i keep getting random artemis legendary while playing non cast build
lucky those are lightning rod runs instead 😛

#

Yea but why am I enabling unhealthy fixation

#

If I wanted to play with ap1 I would

mossy zinc
#

Survivability. Charmed enemies won't attack you. It's a little bit rare that charmed enemies attack another off Unhealthy Fixation's Charm because it's only 4 seconds, Aphrodite's Aid is more reliable for that, but when it does happen, it's a whole lot of damage.

#

Even if you think of it as just your Attack has a 15% chance to stun an enemy for 4 seconds, that's super strong.

Cleared 32 with the zag fists based on some of the recs from earlier in here! Thanks all!

Congratulations! squirtnya

astral sparrow
#

Currently on heat 20, but having trouble due to always losing dds to minotaur sliding through all walls and hitting me unless I am carrying defect on dash

halcyon flame
#

i should consider changing my conditons using the spear

#

should i change them? this is the same thing i did for the last 3 weapons i cleared 32 heat with

true fable
#

i would personally do cf1 js1

#

because i like boons

#

but thats me

halcyon flame
#

convenience fee isn't so bad

#

jury summons would make it even more difficult to deal with the timer, hard pass

true fable
#

its interesting to see what compromises different players are willing to make

sullen minnow
#

spammy i know we talked a little before

#

but i pulled that FO2 win off on my first time through

true fable
#

it should be fine if youre used to it then

sullen minnow
#

i was really taken aback how much you can negate it by stunlocking enemies

#

i was playing fists so i could weave and dodge a bunch too but spear has really good tools for dash attacking and keeping enemies at range

#

if found it let me make my life a lot easier elsewhere

true fable
#

really depends on the spear for 32+

halcyon flame
#

yeah i'm considering fo2

sullen minnow
#

yeah fists might be the best case for fo2

#

because you can stunlock so well

halcyon flame
#

breaching cross is gonna be essential because armor is gonna be a major issue

sullen minnow
#

and move so well

#

ngl, i got breaching

#

ez game ez life

true fable
#

i think i bit the FO2 bullet early on when i started doing high heat

#

turned it on at 16 and then never looked back

halcyon flame
#

i'm torn between greater or ruthless

sullen minnow
#

someone turned me onto it over pm recently and im blown away

true fable
#

only time i turned it off was for 40 arthur i think?

sullen minnow
#

it makes things a good deal harder but it lets you get so much heat value back for it

halcyon flame
#

ruthless will help me get my dodge chance up but greater will let me proc me more frequently

true fable
#

dont get me wrong, FO2 is really tough, but its basically mandatory at 40+

sullen minnow
#

also FO2 is a definite buff for TD3

#

it was hard to notice with FO1, but with FO2 there i could tell rooms were moving faster

halcyon flame
#

smh the problem with divine dds is that i never end up needing them

#

but i really gotta get them anyways in case something goes wrong

sullen minnow
#

schroedingers boon

hardy linden
#

ive lost to em4 hades with 4 dds and good zeus eris build lmao i think 18 heat

#

there are times em4 took only 1 dd

true fable
#

EM4 with DDs is somefin

#

i remember when i used to take EM4

#

now that i started again i cry

halcyon flame
#

em4 is... pretty intense

hardy linden
#

LOL yea i just wanna try EM4 for a bit and get the feels of it

halcyon flame
#

i would know, i've already done it

hardy linden
#

no i try FO1 and BP1

#

now*

true fable
#

kent fwiw retrash has kept it on ever since he unlocked it

hardy linden
#

LOL thats scary

true fable
#

and hes one of the top heat players

hardy linden
#

i mean thats conditioning too

astral sparrow
#

I did most of my first heats with em4 to steamroll through the encounters

#

now that I am trying to do higher heat I took it off and well the encounter difficulty skyrocketed for me

#

on the other hand I can beat em4 consistently

rain sedge
#

Not playing with FO2 on will cost you if you want to go for higher heat, but not everyone want to do more than 32

mossy zinc
halcyon flame
#

i don't really mind being forced to make good decisions

#

i just don't like being forced to play extra well but here we are

mossy zinc
#

You only get so many obols. CF1 will get you a stronger build than CF2.

halcyon flame
#

i guess i can consider replacing cf2 with js1

mossy zinc
#

I'd still take CF2, personally.

chilly sun
#

am i the only one who likes forced overtime 2

#

I feel like it's something terrifying when you first choose it but getting used to it makes you much more skillful

astral sparrow
#

Makes elysium a tad too disgusting for my taste

chilly sun
#

I get that. I hope the bug fix making archers no longer auto-target makes it easier

chilly sun
mossy zinc
#

FO2 is fun.

#

HL5 EM4 CP2 DC2 HS with FO2 on using Malphon? Not as much.

astral sparrow
#

I run arthur mostly. FO2 on elysium with arthur is hell, feel like I am being spammed by bows without the possibility to avoid it

vital grove
#

Gotta bring your sword to their face.

astral sparrow
#

when they have armor tho

#

ouch

vital grove
#

More sword

opal token
#

I don’t know how you beat EM4 on td3. Like...an extra life plus you have to dodge or die horribly

#

I know ppl do it. They are not me. Haha

plain shuttle
#

more like you are not them

wanton plover
#

em4 with melee monkaOMEGA

plain shuttle
#

I probably wont even make it to Elysium on TD3 lmao

shy plinth
#

You just gotta zoom zoom

opal token
#

I made it to EM4 hades with Hera and died to time haha

#

As predicted 😛

gaunt fiber
stiff aurora
#

How much time does em4 take? 3 minutes?

#

When I go em4 I just take td2 and never worry about time

shy gulch
#

i simply do not take em4

#

also forgetting to lose ur SD before picking up athena is a classic

#

i cant even remember how many times ive done it

stiff aurora
#

I'm still trying to manage 32 heat em4

#

I am doing it with DD right now, I don't like the rng requirement of getting lifes from athena

halcyon flame
#

wasn't confident because neither athena or aphrodite showed up but hey i can work with good dps

shy gulch
#

extremely sexy build

#

halcyon flame
#

bad news is so good

gaunt fiber
#

I'd say 4-5 minutes

stiff aurora
#

Good luck doing that with td3 lol

wanton plover
#

td3 em4 and 5sack

halcyon flame
#

add cp2, js4 and dc2 to that

#

maybe bp2 for the saviours + bruisers

mossy zinc
#

JS4 lol.

stiff aurora
#

Maybe also ap2 to make sure you have no damage?

halcyon flame
#

and also rl4, can't have them doing any extra backstab damage

waxen relic
#

no need to bring it slowly up to max heat. then nobody would try

halcyon flame
#

the point is to do as little damage as possible

twilit hedge
#

sextreme measures

halcyon flame
#

what would be recommended for 32 heat fists?

mossy zinc
#

HL5 LC4 CF2 EM3 BP2 MM UC TD3.

vital grove
#

HL5 and CF1 can be changed with FO2

#

If you find Fo2 easier

#

And if TD3 is too fast, TD2 JS3 or Td2 ap2 maybe, adding a point somewhere if necessary

gaunt fiber
#

AP2 32 woohoo

turbid perch
#

niice!!

gaunt fiber
#

eh

#

No, I meant that AP2 at 32 is quite the gamble

turbid perch
#

Ohh I thought you got a clear like that haha

gaunt fiber
#

Prolly got one anyway shadesmile

turbid perch
#

ive been trying 32 heat like this, swapping a few conditions here and there between runs, but still struggling a lot

#

any tips besides just playing more/better? haha

#

also im not focusing on any particular weapon

wanton plover
#

i would take off one routine inspection and max lasting consequences

wintry berry
#

Try to not get hit. Chip damage from foes can accumulate quite fast.

turbid perch
#

thanks i will try those tips!! :)

wanton plover
#

use stubborn defiance over the other one

turbid perch
#

oh good idea

wanton plover
#

i also think doing max cf and td2 and taking off some js and cp is easier

wintry berry
#

You can avoid AP1 and RI on 32.

turbid perch
#

feels so liberating playing without AP ;__;

gaunt fiber
#

Check pins

#

Don't be afraid of TD3 shadesmile

wanton plover
#

in your opinion guys is hestia one of the easier aspects

#

i never actually gave it much of a chance maybe ill try it now

turbid perch
#

i love hestia heh

#

but im not that good at the game lol

wanton plover
#

i just noticed that hestia is quite popular in the high heat doc

#

more than eris 😳

daring hedge
#

It's low commitment, mechanically simple, very strong, not very reliant on hammers or boons etc.

#

Obviously there is a higher skill ceiling with it where you can make use of special, time reloads better and such

#

But yeah it's one of the easier high heat weapons I'd say

agile obsidian
#

Not a lot of safety or great range output

spiral island
#

TD3 is not as intimidating as you want yourself to think

agile obsidian
#

Yes

spiral island
#

Just pause if you need to think

agile obsidian
#

Just try and get your normal run average to about 20 and you shoudl be fine

wanton plover
#

does the codex still work to save time

agile obsidian
#

yes

spiral island
#

Yeah

#

It's a good idea

#

Boon menu doesn't though

daring hedge
#

Yes, but keep in mind if you ever want to submit speedruns, it's banned there and invalidates the run

spiral island
#

Fear is for the weak after all

#

So just run headfirst in a speedrun

#

Go fast and play good

agile obsidian
#

Speedrunning is fun

#

But also tedious

spiral island
agile obsidian
#

i dont try and get world records or anything but just try and beat my last time

gaunt fiber
#

Speedrun is fun until the only thing that makes you save time is room RNG

wanton plover
#

self improvement 🥰

gaunt fiber
#

Just my opinion tho

spiral island
#

Self improvement is where it's at boyo

agile obsidian
#

I can still save some time from skill but I'm getting close to rng

#

Honestly the only way I can speedrun is if I get rocket bomb with eris

#

Why is that red

wanton plover
#

ur lagging

agile obsidian
#

oh

#

ok

spiral island
#

My pro controller can control my computer

#

Its kinda cool

tame mist
#

one of asterius's slam attacks hit me 3 times and i died :(((

mossy zinc
#

Can anyone confirm that Authority rerolls of miniboss chambers can only rotate through 3 different gods? I haven't seen a fourth one.

halcyon flame
#

any recommended builds for 32 heat demeter fists? i tried me but it didn't work out too well because i didn't get impending doom

agile obsidian
#

Merciful end still works great without impending doom

edgy arrow
#

try zeus attack and arty special

#

get support fire

mossy zinc

Divine Strike, Deadly Flourish, Deadly Reversal.

halcyon flame
agile obsidian
#

I see

halcyon flame
#

i also happened to have p.status on and it still didn't work out

agile obsidian
#

Did you get the athena curse?

true fable
#

well level 2 common doom sucks so that checks out

agile obsidian
#

with her dash

true fable
#

doom is your highest pom priority in an ME build, even with impending

agile obsidian
#

yeah nothing else really makes sense

halcyon flame
#

i did in fact get exposed

agile obsidian
#

Other than pomming arty special(if you can get it) a few times

agile obsidian
#

*out

#

Ohhhh nvmd

halcyon flame
#

it didn't

agile obsidian
#

ME lol

edgy arrow
#

arty special is a pipe dream since you need to get athena on special, then sell it, then see arty

agile obsidian
#

As soon as you dash the doom goes away lol

#

And the dash is your exposed 🤣

edgy arrow
#

oh nice

#

good for sure if it lines up

spiral island
#

I just had the longest champions fight ever

halcyon flame
#

everything almost lined up so perfectly but i couldn't get divine dd because i already used the owl pendant

edgy arrow
halcyon flame
#

i might try for a heart rend build

edgy arrow
#

i hope it was literally hours long

#

that would be impressive

This why I don't like authority, the pool seems very limited

agile obsidian

I like persuasion

mossy zinc

@honest kernel can you confirm that?

agile obsidian
#

Even though you get less and it costs more you can easily get more with rolls

mossy zinc
#

Yes, of course.

sullen minnow
#

I’m with you Nya. I want to understand the limits and boundaries of FA for science if nothing else. No bad tools, only badly optimized ones

Authority is even worse without a mirror

If you use Authority, you can get more rerolls by spending rerolls.

true fable

🧠

sullen minnow

But that niche is an interesting one

gaunt fiber

no lol

#

Don't gamble on a blue laurel

sullen minnow

Honestly it’s between 2 blues that you hate I’ll yolo it sometimes

#

Your odds actually aren’t terrible

#

Worst you land on is darkness

#

Key is a free pass

#

And nectar is probably what you were rolling for to begin with

#

The only real lose is if you hit snakeyes and roll gems

mossy zinc
#

No, spending Authority rerolls on blue laurel exits is a terrible waste.

sullen minnow
#

I spend my authority rerolls so much more freely than persuasion ones lol

mossy zinc
#

You mainly want to use them for miniboss chambers because you're guaranteed to roll more boons.

sullen minnow
#

Good tech and good point ^^

gaunt fiber
#

By more boons she means Aphrodite's

sullen minnow
#

Any boon could statistically be Aphrodite if you believe hard enough

mossy zinc

It's for Lady Aphrodite m studying Fated Authority, actually.

only when equipped

omg its ledger

#

can you sign my rama

bronze viper

:3 I would be astonished if I could do 45 heat with Rama at this moment. Give me a chance to work my way back up to earning that signature lol

true fable
#

tailesque did 60 rama, icymi

rain sedge
bronze viper
#

I didn't miss it. Didn't give him proper congratulations. I guessed the softcap for Rama was at 57 and he pooped all over that. What a legend

rain sedge
#

the new eyes will break the heat WR

true fable
#

LOL

#

👁️

bronze viper

I'll have to put Rama on hold though, wait up, did more bows get buffed again?

true fable
#

eh

#

just zag

rain sedge
#

well hera got some fixes, so that's a buff

true fable
#

i think

#

hera crush shot got fixed

rain sedge
#

zag bow has 5% extra crit chance but that hardly matters at 45+ heat

true fable
#

5% crit is kind of a decent amt

bronze viper
#

It was free though. 1.0 Zag Bow was already legit.

true fable
#

having 30% base crit with deadly strike is quite nice

#

also bolts can crit now on thunder flourish

bronze viper
#

hnggg

true fable
#

explosive return still cant 😔

#

also just a PSA since it doesnt seem to be common knowledge, SRC is allowing hell mode submissions now

bronze viper
#

They weren't... before?

rain sedge

That is indeed a PSA

#

I did not see that coming.

true fable
#

they werent before no

when was this? what's the discussion/reasoning?

true fable
#

i d k

#

thank bablo i guess

bronze viper

I don't think it ever came up because no one had a hell mode save last time I played

Surely 1 or 2 people have one by now

true fable

I play on HM on the switch (can I port saves now?)

and crying

rain sedge

but idk if that has clout

the 56 eris is where the ultimate goal is I think

i might do 54 heat hestia just to do it

but then id be like astaos

with a higher heat on hestia than my favorite weapon

implying hestia isn't your favorite weapon

really?

I may be wrong

I don't see an option though

true fable
#

that doesnt sound right, but i also havent tried to go that way

#

@rain sedge has though i believe

#

any ideas?

bronze viper

It's kind of hard to google since all the results are reporting Steam -> Switch cross-saves.

true fable

im p sure schad started switch

and only went to pc when they added crosses

so he has an idea probs

#

if not theres always resqtoaster's save on sr.com

Blind man not blind anymore shadeohboy

Oh, figured it out, I just had to manually select my switch save to occupy that save slot on both Steam/Switch. Kind of a jank way to implement that but no complaints lol

Only 50?

Wdym "only" 50 T.T

ripe crane

I mean not 40 or 32 lol

Like is hell mode allowed for 32 or 40 heat also?

daring hedge

no clue, jerds just said he removed that from the rules in context of us talking about the 50 heat category
