#

nvm it'll be with blade dash so i should be fine

solar maple
#

the man does blade dash start on dem fists sometimes

#

he's too powerful

edgy arrow
#

okay i've been warming up to blade dash honestly

#

but blade dash start is madness

solar maple
#

it is actually good yeah

#

like he starts ares keepsake

#

then takes attack or dash by rarity

#

lmao

edgy arrow
#

god gamer

solar maple
#

he really is

#

it's also just a really fun boon

#

setting up the blades before an enemy spawns is satisfying

edgy arrow
#

that's definitely true

shy plinth
#

Is it as satisfying as lining up a cast with an enemy spawn tho

#

I very much enjoy dropping a cast in an enemy right as they pop up

#

Oh wait I'm talking to beo players never mind

#

That's something that happens on other weapons šŸ˜‰

solar maple
#

yeah I do that on ares cast sometimes

edgy arrow
#

slicing flare beo

#

new meta

solar maple
#

I'm honestly not sure what the worst beo cast is

#

it's either dem or ares

shy plinth
#

I have an answer but it's cheating

#

Curse of drowning

edgy arrow
#

that is cheating but its also true

solar maple
#

honestly probably better than dem cast

edgy arrow
#

can't really argue

solar maple
#

lmao

edgy arrow
#

are you sure

#

CoL is pretty bad

solar maple
#

yeah you might be right haha

edgy arrow
#

although if you can sell the duo you now have the best cast for beo and a lot of money

#

so its not the worst situation to be in ig

shy plinth
#

I was looking while doing the episode with Tyler for the first beo run we have on krashercorr's sheet

#

And it is horheristo with icy flare

#

The video is titled "torture %"

edgy arrow
#

boy

#

folks sure knew nothing about beo then lol

shy plinth
#

They really really really didn't

edgy arrow
#

wait

shy plinth
#

However they knew one thing

#

Snow burst good

edgy arrow
#

he actually forced icy flare

shy plinth
#

What

#

Oh torture % must be a thing

edgy arrow
#

dem keepsake to start

#

nah its legit

shy plinth
#

Yeah his other runs at 40 look like he's trying

#

So this was... something he thought was optimal

edgy arrow
#

he's actually trying to find a good build yeah

shy plinth
#

The legends of snow burst go back years

edgy arrow
#

quote from vid description: "I like this new aspect a lot, but fml I can't figure out how to make it do work fast enough in Elysium under these conditions, so I had to reduce the boss tier."

#

mood horheristo

solar maple
#

wtf is that video

edgy arrow
#

i can't get through elysium with icy flare either

solar maple
#

I want to go home

#

let me out

shy plinth
#

That is the first recorded beo run we have on the spreadsheet

#

It was brand new at the time I think

solar maple
#

is it intentionally bad?

#

I don't get it

#

why

shy plinth
#

This is how people thought you had to play beo

solar maple
#

aaaaaaa

edgy arrow
#

beo genuinely baffled everyone when it came out

shy plinth
#

I can see the argument of feeling like you need to force snow burst

#

But yeah the strats were sub par

solar maple
#

snow burst good

#

but not good enough to justify icy flare

edgy arrow
#

just get a decent cast and force snow burst in asphodel lol

solar maple
#

maybe I should do a torture% run

#

what are the rules

edgy arrow
#

or go for mirage like we would now ofc, but if you haven't thought of that yet

#

pseudo you did 50 with zeus cast

#

i think you already did torture%

shy plinth
#

Torture%?

solar maple
#

honestly it was way better than ares cast

#

I still haven't won with that

shy plinth
#

Poseidon keepsake 1, ares keepsake 2, roll for curse

#

Play god's legacy

solar maple
#

I will do COD 50 heat some time

#

just you wait

#

do I go stygian or infernal?

edgy arrow
#

pseudo you are completely insane

#

never change

shy plinth
#

That is some Modern Warfare

edgy arrow
#

i need to see these runs

solar maple
#

can't today because I still don't have batteries

#

maybe tomorrow

edgy arrow
#

entirely fair

solar maple
#

unless I do croven binds

#

but that's like +10 heat

edgy arrow
#

oh neat

#

do 51 heat then

#

you'll break the world record

solar maple
#

ez wr

#

I can't do 61 heat though

#

too hard

shy plinth
#

Jerds%?

solar maple
#

you do know croven binds right?

#

I would die in chamber 4

shy plinth
#

Yeah he has all his abilities mapped to the zxcv row

edgy arrow
#

that's controller and mouse right?

solar maple
#

with beo??? no chance

shy plinth
#

Jerds% is controller mouse

edgy arrow
#

ohh

solar maple
#

yeah but I have neither right now

shy plinth
#

Croven% is all your abilities are on the bottom keyboard row and you use actual arrow keys

#

Ideally on a laptop keyboard

edgy arrow
#

woah that's way worse than i thought

solar maple
#

yeah it's bad

edgy arrow
#

its honestly shocking how much better at this game i got when i switched to a real keyboard

#

laptop keyboard stinky

shy plinth
#

I feel the same way about switch to PC

#

The framerate is huge

edgy arrow
#

what does a switch run at?

shy plinth
#

I think 30

edgy arrow
#

oh oof

shy plinth
#

On docked it might be faster, closer to 60

#

But it struggles sometimes

#

Plus a TV is much further away than a monitor

shy gulch
#

laptop keyboard is how u ascend to god gaming

shy plinth
#

And screen is tiny on handheld

#

It's the man himself

#

Croven was everything on zxcv

solar maple
#

found it

shy plinth
#

There it is

solar maple
#

yeah I'm on laptop

#

I could do the full croven binds experience

shy gulch
#

yeah it was bottom two rows of laptop

#

have fun

shy plinth
#

Oh man ZXC and AS

edgy arrow
#

did you not have a mouse

shy plinth
#

Summon was SPACE?

shy gulch
#

I do not have a mouse

solar maple
#

summon as space is my favorite part yeah

shy gulch
#

I have a trackpad

edgy arrow
#

if you just did that for fun i would have been extremely concerned

shy plinth
#

I guess when you wanna summon you don't wanna find the button

shy gulch
#

nah that’s unironically what I thought was optimal for me

#

and it was!

#

until I got a controller

shy plinth
#

You made it work

#

Optimal is a real strong word

shy gulch
#

I think I did like

edgy arrow
#

honestly i respect it

shy gulch
#

32 all aspects and sub 10 all weapons on those binds

shy plinth
#

Wow

unique zephyr
#

I just thought of something: convenience fee interacts with tight deadline 3 because convenience fee makes shops less useful lol

shy gulch
#

my greatest gamer achievement

#

oh also 40 all weps

edgy arrow
#

i remap all sorts of stuff in most of the games i play

shy gulch
#

even sword

#

sword is easily the most impossible thing ever with those binds

edgy arrow
#

playing out of the box bindings is usually a mistake imo

#

but this is taking it pretty far

unique zephyr
#

I like low heat practice runs because I can actually buy stuff

#

I rebound dash to bumper

shy plinth
#

Oh yeah convenience fee is secretly the devil

unique zephyr
#

And reload to another bumper

shy gulch
#

look oho I had to find what worked

shy plinth
#

Dash on bumper sounds like a lot of trigger action

shy gulch
#

and apparently

#

that’s what worked

#

so here we are

shy plinth
#

I can see special on trigger but the amount of dashing I do would be awkward on trigger

shy gulch
#

I still use those binds for hestia

unique zephyr
#

It’s not trigger

shy gulch
#

since I’m just so used to the reload muscle memory

unique zephyr
#

It’s a button on shoulder

solar maple
#

I'm not going to do it for beo though

shy plinth
#

Yeah I call those triggers

solar maple
#

that sounds like pure pain

shy plinth
#

I think that's what they are

shy gulch
#

it’s not that bad for beo

unique zephyr
#

I’m used to it

#

No finger pain for me

shy gulch
#

I had some decent success w it

solar maple
#

it is definitely "that bad" for beo

shy gulch
#

lmao

unique zephyr
#

I can dash attack easily

shy gulch
#

maybe u need to game better pseudo

shy plinth
#

Isn't that harder on your hands/wrists?

solar maple
#

you have 8 directions for bull rush my dude

shy gulch
#

that’s enough

solar maple
#

8

shy gulch
#

it’s easy

shy plinth
#

For the default bindings you just jam your thumb diagonally to dash attack

unique zephyr
#

My hands and wrists are never the problem

shy plinth
#

Seems p easy

#

But if it's working for you then sure

unique zephyr
#

It’s my neck and back from sitting

#

I didn’t like diagonal thumb movement

shy plinth
#

Standing Hades??

unique zephyr
#

I hated it actually

#

No

shy plinth
#

Gotta get some hades workouts

unique zephyr
#

From sitting

#

Sitting at a computer too long is bad right now

shy gulch
#

DDR pad hades time

edgy arrow
#

hades on DDR pad

#

lol

shy gulch
#

lol

solar maple
#

I would do it

shy plinth
#

I appreciate the consistency

solar maple
#

I don't have a DDR pad though

unique zephyr
#

I should try standing hades one day

#

Maybe

solar maple
#

if call% is possible anything is

shy plinth
#

Peekingboo is insane

unique zephyr
#

But basically for now I do 30 mins then rest at leat an hour between

#

Physical therapist suggestion

shy plinth
#

Smart

unique zephyr
#

Sometimes I do 45 if I feel frisky

#

But that’s rare

#

I feel myself tightening before then

#

I had to quit JRPGs lmao

#

Because 30 mins doesn’t accomplish anything there lol

shy plinth
#

Octopath traveler would take you a year

unique zephyr
#

It legit would

#

A year would be a fast pace I think

#

If I liked the game and wanted to finish all characters lol

#

I don’t have it because it was like 40 bucks and I knew it wasn’t the game for me at this time

#

But I bet it’s very good

#

I didn’t realize how much I hated convenience fee till recently

#

At 16 it felt free lol

#

Or almost

solar maple
#

CF is not free

unique zephyr
#

I know that now

solar maple
#

you lose quite a few boons with it

edgy arrow
#

yeah its actually pretty bad

#

one of my favourite ones to turn off for casual runs

unique zephyr
#

How is CF1 compared to 2

#

I always turn it off for practice

solar maple
#

the first is harder than the second I think

unique zephyr
#

I practice with FO2 EM3

#

MM

#

That’s it

solar maple
#

I end up taking CF1 sometimes though

#

as the "last heat"

shy plinth
#

Don't ask beo players about cf

shy gulch
#

^

solar maple
#

nah I use CF

shy gulch
#

lmao

edgy arrow
#

same

solar maple
#

it's still bad though

edgy arrow
#

^

shy plinth
#

I totally agree that CF sucks and is surprisingly impactful

#

It feels free at 16 and it's really punishing beyond that

edgy arrow
#

using it just means we fully appreciate how bad of an idea it is on beo

shy plinth
#

Lol yup

#

You can kinda get away with CF1

unique zephyr
#

Why do so many people like beo

solar maple
#

beo is fun

shy gulch
#

good question

#

it’s a fun weapon

solar maple
#

and a good high heat weapon

shy gulch
#

I like it a lot too

solar maple
shy plinth
#

It is probably the most unique playstyle out of all the aspects

shy gulch
#

no pseudo

unique zephyr
#

I did beo for 16

shy plinth
#

It's really, really different

solar maple
edgy arrow
#

i like beo because its weird and does big numbers

unique zephyr
#

But I have no idea for 32 lol

edgy arrow
#

that's my entire reasoning

shy plinth
#

Yeah

unique zephyr
#

I want to do one aspect of each weapon for 32 first

#

As a goal

shy gulch
#

it’s a very fun weapon tho and when u get a full build, nothing else in the game compared to its power

shy plinth
#

The numbers are so big

#

Huge numbers

unique zephyr
#

Is FO1 HL5 or FO2 HL2 easier

#

In terms of damage taken

shy gulch
#

dunno, try both and see how u feel

#

that’s very player dependent

shy plinth
#

Yep

unique zephyr
#

Fair enough will do

edgy arrow
#

and aspect dependent imo

unique zephyr
#

But yeah for my vods I’ll look at where I got hit and how

solar maple
#

FO1 HL5 is easier I think but I haven't done either in a long time

shy plinth
#

At a certain point it's "where do you think you have the skill to deal with a less forgiving game"

unique zephyr
#

I’ll focus on dodging and worry about time when I actually turn on TD3

#

Or what I feel like learning first

unique zephyr
solar maple
#

I mean yeah

#

at 40+ you always max both

#

unless you play like arthur

unique zephyr
#

Even for Arthur?

solar maple
#

but I don't play arthur

edgy arrow
#

i maxed both for Arthur at 40

unique zephyr
#

Oh so only Arthur cares about it

#

Compared to other weps

edgy arrow
#

you can run FO1 tho

#

both work

solar maple
#

even arthur I might go FO2

#

idk

shy plinth
#

There's no hard and fast rules for this game

#

People take dramatically different pacts based on what they play and what they're good at

solar maple
#

here's the secret: if 40 heat is doable, every subset of that 40 heat is too

shy gulch
#

I either max both or I’m speedrunning LUL

solar maple
#

so lots of pacts are fine

shy plinth
#

You can build some really crap pacts that are obviously subpar

#

But peach could probs clear them anyway

unique zephyr
#

Peach?

#

Who is that

solar maple
#

peachhead

#

arthur specialist

shy gulch
#

the prophet of Arthur

unique zephyr
#

I’m glad everyone has faith in me

#

And that people are friendly

#

Means a lot

edgy arrow
#

is Peach ever gonna do Arthur 50

solar maple
#

he's tried

#

quite a bit

edgy arrow
#

oh fair

solar maple
#

it's tough

shy gulch
#

he’s gotten close I think

edgy arrow
#

i can believe it

shy gulch
#

but it is indeed quite tough

solar maple
#

yeah he's gotten to styx a few times I think

unique zephyr
#

Time to do a practice run

edgy arrow
#

he's absurdly good with Arthur tho

#

i'm sure he'll clear it eventually

solar maple
#

I know he was streaming attempts when the barrel roll was at 50

unique zephyr
#

What is barrel roll

#

I heard about it a few times here now

solar maple
#

monthly challenge

#

check pin of builds and combad

unique zephyr
#

Ah ok

#

Actually I’ll watch some vods first of mine

solar maple
#

Conditions:
(1) To barrel-roll, submit a run that is one Heat higher than the previous submission OR a run with a faster clear time that's on the same Heat as the previous submission.
(2) The very first run submission must be at 0 Heat.
(3) God Mode is not allowed for this particular challenge.
(4) You may submit multiple runs, but you cannot barrel-roll your own runs.
(5) You may submit runs that were completed up to 24h before the previous submission was submitted.
(6) Runs before February 1, 2020 are not eligible.

shy plinth
#

Some weapons have some pretty major pain points that limit the heat progression

solar maple
#

currently it's at 53 I think

shy plinth
#

Like it's real hard to take RI on Beo

solar maple
#

I want to do one, but redoing 54 heat seems like a waste

shy plinth
#

And for arthur DC2 is just a nightmare

unique zephyr
#

So @shy plinth when I see my vods now I should think about how I felt and what I got hit by?

shy gulch
#

DC on hestia :(

solar maple
#

so I want someone to do 54 so I can do 55

shy plinth
#

Yeah that's subpar too

unique zephyr
#

DC on Hestia just no

shy plinth
#

@unique zephyr I'd see if you can identify your panic states and what caused them

edgy arrow
#

if you do 55 beo with be tied for 4th highest aspect

shy plinth
#

But yeah I mean just figure out where you didn't like what you did and where you would want to do something different

#

If you attack and whiff that's probably just as bad as getting hit

#

Because dead enemies can't kill you

unique zephyr
#

I sometimes feel the auto aim messes with me

#

But I will probably do worse if I turn it off

#

That is true yeah that whiffing is a huge mistake

#

I also have a recovery animation in addition to enemies existing longer

solar maple
#

next time tail streams I'll try to trick him into doing 54 heat I guess

shy plinth
#

I feel dumb for not playing zeus shield more

#

I have to tell Baj he was right

unique zephyr
#

I should max out zeus shield

#

It’s at level 3 now or so and I never use it

shy plinth
#

I just finished a run and posted a vod with it

shy gulch
#

luckily zeus shield can still work well without maxing it out

shy plinth
#

It's kinda really good

#

Yeah you don't need it maxed

solar maple
#

eh it can

shy gulch
#

you just need to use like zeus special

solar maple
#

but maxing it out is big damage

shy gulch
#

rather than other builds

#

it is

shy plinth
#

That is what I did lol

unique zephyr
#

Oh sweet I’ll try it out then

shy gulch
#

but it’s not completely useless at lower levels

unique zephyr
#

Maybe my next practice

shy plinth
#

Yeah at max you can make thicc heart rends

solar maple
#

maxing it is a massive difference

#

the base damage scales so well

unique zephyr
#

I have plenty of bounties at least

shy gulch
#

I was gonna say ā€œlike chironā€ but chiron is actually worthless at all levels

solar maple
#

it goes from 8 to 32 per tick

shy gulch
#

so nvm

#

it’s 30 per tick I think

unique zephyr
#

32 per tic? Awesome

shy plinth
#

What's worse, level 1 chiron or level 1 chaos think360

#

I guess chaos is still a shield

edgy arrow
#

level 1 chiron

solar maple
#

maybe 30

shy gulch
#

chiron

shy plinth
#

But neither do damage

edgy arrow
#

100%

solar maple
#

but it's big

shy gulch
#

chaos gets charged shot

edgy arrow
#

chaos is a shield

shy plinth
#

Is chiron the worst level 1 in the game

#

No

#

But close!

edgy arrow
#

and gets charged shot yeah

shy plinth
#

Hard to beat baby guan yu

solar maple
#

lv 1 chiron is the same as lv 5 chiron I don't get it

bronze viper
#

Lmao

shy plinth
#

Nah max level chiron is called "rama"

shy gulch
#

no max level chiron is called pure sadness

daring hedge
#

dad died to a hangover tick crit of 1221

shy gulch
#

.

#

huh

#

jesus tail LOL

edgy arrow
#

woah

daring hedge
#

shame the earring wasn't up for that

edgy arrow
#

i was gonna complain that there's no splitting bolt

#

but i will accept a 1221 damage hangover crit instead

wanton plover
#

i love earring

solar maple
#

earring with 8 mins left to flex

shy plinth
#

WHAT

daring hedge
#

WAIT false alarm i'm too tired

#

the crit was maim

#

but hangover crits happening were like almost 500

edgy arrow
#

okay that's more reasonable lol

#

still a lotta crit

shy plinth
#

You must have had bad influence permanently active

unique zephyr
#

why does rail special feel weird to aim on controller

shy plinth
#

94% jeez

unique zephyr
#

i miss it a lot

bronze viper
#

Lmao. I was about to say. You can get those numbers with Dio call though

wanton plover
#

i never aim it

unique zephyr
#

with hestia though i mostly use attack anyway

solar maple
#

yeah rail special I've heard is weird on controller

wanton plover
#

hestia definitely uses special

#

while waiting on reload

solar maple
#

you should use special though yeah

edgy arrow
#

yeah how do ya'll play like eris and lucy on controller

unique zephyr
#

I don't play lucy

edgy arrow
#

where special aim is super important

shy plinth
#

You press the x button and the special goes where it goes

unique zephyr
#

i s till have lucy at level 1

wanton plover
#

just press it

unique zephyr
#

lmao

shy gulch
#

rail special is tuff, I just let auto aim do it’s thing

wanton plover
#

let the bomb decide

true fable
#

i think luci good

shy plinth
#

Yeah I just smack it and go about my business

edgy arrow
#

just press it and hope lmao

true fable
#

the special is a lot of damage

solar maple
#

imagine aiming rail special with croven binds

shy gulch
#

luci is quite fun

bronze viper
#

You just do? It takes some practice to quickly get the reticles to go where you want yeah.

solar maple
#

it just goes

shy plinth
#

Triple bomb on lucy is crazy

shy gulch
#

it’s the same as controller tbh pseudo

true fable
#

luci is a better kbm weapon than a controller weapon

#

like

shy gulch
#

I don’t have any more control over it now that I have a controller

shy plinth
#

I would assume all of the rails are

daring hedge
true fable
#

luci special is 20 base damage MORE than rocket bomb

#

in a HUGE aoe

shy plinth
#

Oh man that's like a fireball shots hangover

true fable
#

yeah wht the hell

#

what kind of modifiers do you have on that

daring hedge
#

that one had bad influence and skull earring

#

maim wasn't even on there

true fable
#

huh

#

ok

bronze viper
#

It doesn't take much with a crit. He had base 60 hangover 5 stacks

true fable
#

could it possibly be the peer pressure glitch?

daring hedge
#

didn't take peer pressure

true fable
#

ledger i was thinking more about the 73 damage single tick

edgy arrow
#

what's this peer pressure glitch?

true fable
#

if peer pressure is the only stack on an enemy

#

it does 8x what it says on the tooltip

bronze viper
#

Lmao

edgy arrow
#

wth

bronze viper
#

I didn't know that.

edgy arrow
#

that's random lol

true fable
#

yuh

bronze viper
#

Peer pressure meta

daring hedge
#

i think that might have been a tick from right before the stack count dropped

#

so the number for more stacks is there but the stack number updated after that showed up

shy plinth
#

Did you have a chaos boon or whatever

#

I'm trying to do the math and that number seems very large

edgy arrow
#

i mean, there aren't any chaos boons that increase hangover

shy plinth
#

Oh right

#

I was thinking cast damage

#

So yeah if a base hangover tick was 60 damage

#

How did we increase that 9 times over

daring hedge
#

like i said, pretty sure the damage number is not from a single hangover stack

shy plinth
#

A critical is triple so 180, even if bad influence is active that's just 180 * 1.94 = 349

#

So mabe it just accumulates

daring hedge
#

it's just the damage that appeared right before stacks dropped

edgy arrow
#

crits are multiplicative

#

so you should do them last

true fable
#

low tol?

shy plinth
#

I'm going by the calc on the wiki

#

Base * (1+crit) * (1*reg +dmg)

#

Minus damage reduction

#

Order should be irrel

true fable
#

well bad influence is global so it should be 3x(bad influence + base)

#

no?

edgy arrow
#

yeah that's what i'm saying

true fable
#

and FF

edgy arrow
#

you gotta add in bad influence, family favourite etc.

#

then multiply

true fable
#

but im assuming mr fox here is RI2 gaming

shy plinth
#

The bonus damage is multiplicative and not added to reg damage?

#

And yeah FF would be +25% in the reg damage I think

daring hedge
#

nah the victory screen is up there

#

RI0

#

so FF is happening

true fable
#

ah ok let me check

shy plinth
#

I'd assume bad influence is additive

edgy arrow
#

yeah it is

true fable
#

it is

#

but additive damage is factored in before the crit multiplication

shy plinth
#

60 * 3 for crit * (1 + 0.94 + 0.20 + 0.70)

#

That's the equation right

#

Order is irrel

true fable
#

here the global damage mods to consider are FF, Bad influence, and possibly ruthless reflex proc

edgy arrow
#

he hasn't got a full god pool

daring hedge
#

ah yeah, ruthless was happening frequently

edgy arrow
#

FF's only doing +20% here

shy plinth
#

Ah ruthless is probs the thing

true fable
#

god im such a nerd

edgy arrow
shy plinth
#

That's 511

#

I like my numbers to mingle

#

Gotta get in those parentheses

solar maple
#

close enough

shy plinth
#

Yeah that makes 547 plausible

edgy arrow
#

yeah 511 gets you there really

shy plinth
#

Also that's a lot of purple damage

edgy arrow
#

numbers aren't exact if you do the math in this game

#

i assume there's rounding going on somewhere

solar maple
#

nah probbaly just forgetting about some random boon he has

#

like strong drink or something

edgy arrow
#

i've seen my numbers be randomly off by a small amount when i've had really simplistic builds

shy plinth
#

It's not the boon

#

IT'S BOULDY

edgy arrow
#

there's definitely rounding or something somewhere

solar maple
shy plinth
#

Gotta be bouldy

edgy arrow
#

bouldy can't grant bonus hangover damage lol

solar maple
edgy arrow
#

but yeah its him for sure

shy plinth
#

Bouldy believes

edgy arrow
shy plinth
#

That was the ambiguity bonus all along

#

Also it's possible the game just threw Tail a bone for finishing the run with after party

daring hedge
#

+1% movement speed bouldy

#

sad i didn't get hyper delivery for that

#

imagine

shy plinth
#

Did you reroll for it

#

If you're looking for that boon you must leave no stone unturned

daring hedge
#

yes hermes gave me garbage

edgy arrow
#

you had the wrong cast as well

shy plinth
edgy arrow
#

get black out on this

daring hedge
#

lol

shy plinth
#

Tbh I don't want black out here

#

I want nausea

edgy arrow
#

oh true

#

why not both

shy plinth
#

Because AP1

#

Let's temper our expectations

edgy arrow
#

okay sure

#

i'll temper them to just hyper delivery and CoN

#

ez every time

shy plinth
#

Yeah let's be realistic

solar maple
#

just take AP0 and TD3

#

ez

#

he had plenty of time for td3

#

:p

unique zephyr
#

so for the bullet hell attacks like witches circle and yellow lernie shooting stuff is it better to dodge or to try to break the projectiles?

#

assuming no easy deflect

#

also I finally found the zeus legendary, it was a fated list lol

solar maple
#

it depends

#

if there is a clearing in the bullets, dashes are better to get there

#

but if there is no clearing you need to attack

#

it also depends on the weapon

unique zephyr
#

for rama is special good to clear it with

#

it's what i use

#

but i want to make sure I hve the right idea

solar maple
#

I don't know

unique zephyr
#

what would it be for beo

solar maple
#

I mess it up when I try that a decent amound

unique zephyr
#

I actually am interested in learning beo

#

because the other shields seem boring other than zeus

solar maple
#

for beo I typically try to just bull rush in

unique zephyr
#

which is at level 3

#

beo is max

#

in terms of blood

#

does beo need any special consideration for pacts?

#

you did say it hates CF

solar maple
#

for 32 avoid CF yeah

unique zephyr
#

For my hypothetical pact what would be good instead of CF

solar maple
#

but other than that pretty standard

unique zephyr
#

Hard labor 2
Lasting Consequences 4
Convenience Fee 2
Extreme Measures 3
Middle Management
Underworld Customs
Benefits Package 2
Forced Overtime 2
Tight Deadline 2

solar maple
#

I need to look at a pact to think real quick

#

let me pull up hades

#

and you hate td3

unique zephyr
#

yes

solar maple
#

so I'll make a td2 one

unique zephyr
#

nice

#

is aphro cast the best start

#

for beo

#

i normally like aphro or dio cast for beo

#

but i dont know much about beo lol

solar maple
#

I would start pos cast

#

then go arty attack -> mirage shot

#

athena is good because it's high heat

#

and dem is fantastic

shy gulch
#

dem cast???

solar maple
#

snow burst is great, and rav will is quite good

unique zephyr
#

why pos cast

#

what's so good about it

solar maple
#

no not dem cast

#

as a god to get

shy gulch
#

oh just dem in general

#

ok that makes more sense lol

solar maple
#

pos cast has massive aoe

#

and builds into mirage shot well

shy gulch
#

Poseidon cast is good bc of easy lead into mirage and poggers aoe

#

good damage too, not the best but good enough

unique zephyr
#

legacy or pride on beo

#

or either

solar maple
#

either is fine

shy gulch
#

also nice tier 2’s

#

aka wave pounding

solar maple
#

legacy is more consistent for mirage, but pride is just generally good

shy gulch
#

until u don’t get mirage after like 5 tries

#

smile

solar maple
#

I tend to do pride, but I go either way

unique zephyr
#

ah ok, are you figuring out pact now

unique zephyr
#

Sounds good

solar maple
#

idk I would usually just do td3 instead of JS2

#

or FO2

#

but those might be harder for you

unique zephyr
#

FO2 better than TD3

#

for me

#

but we'll see

#

thanks šŸ™‚

solar maple
#

JS2 timer still shouldn't be bad on TD2

#

and beo has very good aoe

unique zephyr
#

yeah TD2 timer is basically free

solar maple
#

especially with pos cast

unique zephyr
#

if you lose TD2 it's not because of JS

solar maple
#

nah if you lose this td2 it will 100% be because of js haha

#

js is quite slow

#

it loses several mins

#

not 8, but several

unique zephyr
#

I'm getting more and more used to FO2

#

looking at a vod I've gotten much better at dodging than before

#

overall

#

I'm learning I think

solar maple
#

so by doing JS2 instead of td3, you trade harder normal rooms for ~5 extra mins (assuming JS2 loses you 3 mins)

unique zephyr
#

I love how fast enemies spawn in FO2

#

normal speed I find myself waiting

solar maple
#

yeah that's why people do it for speedruns

unique zephyr
#

btw someone told me if I die at furies I have a long road ahead of me but I feel like that happens at high heat sometimes

#

because I die in all kinds of random places

solar maple
#

no you're fine

#

I die in tart all the time

#

most of my deaths are tart tbh

#

hardest biome

#

they only say that because they are thinking DDs probably

shy gulch
#

yeah nah furies are rough at high heat

solar maple
#

if you die in tart with DDs you have a long way to go haha

#

important thing to know for beo is you can load your casts during the charge

daring hedge
solar maple
#

T H I C C

#

I need to do more zeus cast beo

daring hedge
main wasp
#

Ok I tested out Hestia

#

Feels like a sniper

main wasp
vital grove
#

That is a Zeus build alright

unique zephyr
#

Even on practice SD now

solar maple
#

oh I know

#

I'm just saying why I think they believe that

#

they probably use DDs, and so never die in tart

unique zephyr
#

Ah ok makes a lot of sense now haha

spice lava
#

Hestia is worse than sniping, it's having a rifle with only one chamber that matters

solar maple
#

of my last 10 runs (not counting resets, various weapons, all 50+ heat), 6 died in tartarus, 1 died in asphodel, 2 died in styx, and 1 was a victory

#

so don't feel bad about dying to meg from time to time haha

#

if you count resets way more died in tart haha

shy gulch
#

2 died in styx and none in elysium?

#

interesting

#

I feel like every time I enter styx I exit it

#

well I guess barring TD3 and a 3+ sack which might’ve happened

#

so nvm then

solar maple
#

one was em4 death with ares cast beo

#

the other was dad fight choke with 50 heat nem

#

usually I die more in elysium, just variance of last 10

shy gulch
#

oh you include dad fight in styx

solar maple
#

oh yeah

shy gulch
#

that makes a lot more sense

solar maple
#

I don't die in styx tunnels

shy gulch
#

yeah I was a bit confused

solar maple
#

I think I could beat styx with 0 mins tbh

shy gulch
#

styx tunnels are an unusual place to die barring TD shenanigans

#

agree

solar maple
#

like could win through 5 dps from timer

shy gulch
#

I think I’ve done like half of styx

#

under 0 min

solar maple
#

maybe not normal rooms

shy gulch
#

just to see how far I could go

solar maple
#

those can be tough

#

with 0s left

shy gulch
#

oh yea those r annoying

#

usually when I see those I instantly just let myself die

#

bc I hate doing them

#

so much

solar maple
#

but a 3 sack with 0s? shouldn't be too bad

shy gulch
#

ye esp since you can just reset SD in front of a door whenever u want

#

speaking of things like this

#

I think one of the most impressive challenges hael’s done was this but for the whole run

#

that was p cool

solar maple
#

yeah that was really cool

#

I didn't think he would get it tbh

shy gulch
#

I had zero faith

#

lmao

#

needless to say I was very impressed by the need

#

end*

solar maple
#

after party stonks

shy gulch
#

it finally did something

solar maple
#

over 1000 pushups were added from that run alone iirc

shy gulch
#

jesus lmfao

#

his poor twig arms

main wasp
#

Man getting to 40 heat will take a llooooong time

#

Do you guys only farm on weapon

#

Or let the thirst guide

gaunt fiber
#

You can farm bounties in the range of 20 (no bounties afer) if you like. Most of the time people will jump from 20 to 32 and then to40

main wasp
#

Hm

#

Maybe after I finish farming 25000 darkness

#

I'll rush bow or malphon to 40

#

Probably Malhpon

#

Gilgamesh aspect is still on of the most fun

honest kernel
#

made it to hades on 45 but twin shot+explosive shot rama made the fight waaaay too hard for me :(

main wasp
#

I somehow cannot like short range hammers on bow

honest kernel
#

it was fine up till then but fo2 hades just destroyed me for having a longer windup move

main wasp
#

The only time I went for s short range build was with triple shot and explosive

#

At that point I was melee

honest kernel
#

yeah thats what it does

true fable
#

i died to hades on 50 rama with a divine strike "build"

#

havent made it back since

vital grove
#

50 is a handful

edgy arrow
#

"build" is a mood lol

#

its funny how when you start playing this game you just use random boons, then slowly you start making better and better builds until you're using the best ones in the game, and then when you hit 50+ its just like "oh i got the second worst attack boon for my aspect, lets go this is the run"

#

"shackle is a build right"

honest kernel
#

I did it šŸ‘ šŸ‘

edgy arrow
#

congrats!

#

sniper shot lmao

honest kernel
#

not sure if I wanna push up to 50 now it seems messed up

#

yeah ap gave me awful hammers

edgy arrow
#

perfect is pretty good

#

but sniper is a joke yeah

#

especially on rama

#

45 to 50 is definitely a massive increase in difficulty

honest kernel
#

oh yeah I got premium vintage early and then not a single nectar

#

feels bad man

edgy arrow
#

oof

#

that happens to me weirdly often lol

#

dark foresight stealing all my nectar

honest kernel
#

gonna upload the run

#

I got super sloppy at hades last phase but I stopped caring bc I saw how much health I had

#

super lucky to get 2 sack otherwise it would have been rough

#

I wasted a lot of time in elysium

edgy arrow
#

that's allowed

#

it was JS3 CP2 DC2 elysium after all

spice lava
#

50 heat runners : "With this rare boon, maybe I can finish this run"
Any heat runners : "If I had this boon to my full pockets I would save so much seconds"

kindred sluice
edgy arrow
#

"With this rare boon, maybe I can finish the run"

the rare boon: common flood flare

honest kernel
next wyvern
#

on High heat triple shot is better than twin shot for Rama right?

honest kernel
#

I like twin shot more its more dmg

next wyvern
#

Ah

spice lava
#

You can have a bit of distance with twin shot to get full dmg

#

None with triple

next wyvern
#

i see

#

btw Chiron with Artemis special is better than using Dio special?

#

or it depends?

spice lava
#

I would say it's different dps

next wyvern
#

I mean isn't Chiron is all about damage? which one would do more?

spice lava
#

With dio you can shoot an ennemy then you can go directly to another one because you know the poison will do its job

celest grail
#

i personally liked dio chiron more for the room control on higher heat

spice lava
#

Artemis dps is higher when crit

celest grail
#

though heartrend chiron shreds bosses and single enemies

next wyvern
#

Ah

#

btw should i take god pride or god legacy?

celest grail
#

gods legacy

#

in both cases

#

since you want duos

next wyvern
#

ah

celest grail
#

for dio, you want curse of nausea (ares), low tolerance (aphro) and maybe splitting headache (artemis)

#

for arty, you just want heartrend

next wyvern
#

so generally speaking Arty would usually more reliable since less duos to care about?

spice lava
#

If you're talking about high high heat, most of the time with RI1 we don't have the luxuary of the additionnal chances for duos šŸ‘€

#

Artemis can have a snowball dps if after the special you find support fire or hunter's mark

next wyvern
#

so yeah i'll take Arty tks boiz

spice lava
#

Dio deals poison damages, but the rest of his boons is also about control and support

#

Artemis has a really offensive set if you gather them all

honest kernel
#

finally got obs to work this time

bright mango
#

Astaos just got true shot like 5 times in a row with ap2

#

what are the odds

bronze viper
#

3

bright mango
#

finally an epic deadly flourish

#

thank you game

solemn pulsar
#

With no rolls a core boon on AP2 is 1/4

bright mango
#

And that happened like 5 times in a row

#

true shot

solemn pulsar
#

you play the game enough these things are bound to happen

unique zephyr
#

I’ve seen people use coin purse in high heat. When is it used and why?

#

I’ve seen it as a tartarus start

pseudo girder
#

Coin Purse is used only in Tartarus start for extra money in order to get to shops easier

unique zephyr
#

What do people buy in shops? Mostly boons or centaur hearts too?

#

Usually I don’t have enough money to get both with CF on

#

Also nice job finishing 32 x 6 poke

pseudo girder
#

yeah

unique zephyr
#

That’s my current goal

pseudo girder
#

thanks!

spice lava
#

Boons probably

unique zephyr
#

I only have one 32 finished so far

#

And that one was partly luck

subtle hearth
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

spice lava
#

HP is generally easier to get (cheaper than boons on shops, Thanatos, etc.)

pseudo girder
#

yeah, on high heat, HP is always top priority

#

it's partially why Aphro is so powerful

#

thanks to Life Affirmation

spice lava
#

I would say it depends of the aspect

shy plinth
#

I have not taken a lot of life affirmations

#

Would rather do more damage

spice lava
#

Tart and aspho are usually used to gather the build then elysium is hammers/hp rush

shy plinth
#

Shout out to elite styx heart doors

pseudo girder
#

all my homies love elite styx heart doors

honest kernel
#

I sometimes pick purse in asphodel to buy a boon but

#

forcing athena turned out better for me in the long run

pseudo girder
#

^

#

I always force Athena if she doesn't show up in tart on high heat

spice lava
#

Hypnos purse means your dps is good enough to stand the first rooms, it's a risky bet at high heat

#

We tend to have a god item in order to manipulate the RNG : At least this god will keep me company during the run, I know I'll see their other boons later

vital grove
#

I'll take purse in Asp if I saw Athena in tart

unique zephyr
#

Beat FO2 hades without Divine Dash, getting better šŸ™‚

bronze viper
#

Nice!

#

Lol that's actually the #1 takeaway from doing 24x40 I've gotten. I've memed so many runs with Tidal Dash that I know for certain I don't need Divine Dash to win runs anymore

tidal flame
honest kernel
#

1.0 feels easier to play

#

maybe bc dark foresight actually works

tidal flame
#

Yeah DF is a godsend because faster hammer = good. And boons for UC selling.
Anyhow, happy for ya.

honest kernel
#

whats ur pb

unique zephyr
#

i just saw it and picked it up

tidal flame
honest kernel
#

damn

halcyon flame
#

hunter's dash probably works the best with bow

#

it can also go well with serrated edge or maybe fists

tidal flame
#

Also Hestia

#

And sword, and Zag Shield.
Hunter Dash is good.

quartz mantle
#

Artemis good

#

Also Shackle Hunter Dash feels like cheating which I enjoy

edgy arrow
#

shackle basically is cheating in tartarus, but later on the enemies can cheat harder

main wasp
#

FIST

true fable
#

i usually force athena but im happy to see any athena core boon really, esp on AP2

#

any dash boon is honestly a godsend on 50

#

since it doesnt break shackle

#

and helps a ton with DC

#

also buying poms and centaur hearts is a big big scam on CF2

solemn pulsar
#

poms esp on AP2

shy plinth
#

It costs so much

true fable
#

if only you could sell centaur hearts :^)

solemn pulsar
#

price of midas

true fable
#

yeah lol

shy plinth
#

You can sell two hearts for a spear

true fable
#

weirdly enough

#

i dont like buying centaur hearts

#

but will almost always buy centaur souls

#

brain machine broke

solemn pulsar
#

it's probably the over/under 200 gold

true fable
#

ye if i had to guess

solemn pulsar

ping me when you do

neat sonnet
#

Well to be fair I think I demonstrated the luck hard carry yesterday

main wasp
#

I'm gonna jump directly to 32 today

#

gimme a combination

#

gonna use Gilgamesh or Rama

wintry berry
#

Have you checked the pins ?

honest kernel
#

rama is fun

tidal trench
#

I’d say Rama

main wasp
#

hm, thats a lot of pins

shy plinth
#

I will give an alternate opinion to Rama and say "not gilga"

quartz mantle
#

Rama is definitely top like 3 aspects at high heat

#

although anything can preform well at 32

main wasp
#

I really like Rama and I played too much Arthur last week

bright mango
main wasp
#

but I'm not mad enough to try Gilga at 40

bright mango
#

for your first 32

main wasp
#

evntually I will

bright mango
#

sure thats fine

main wasp
#

Star Trek references compels me

shy plinth
#

Gilga was my first 32 and I do not recommend it lol

bright mango
#

but for your first 32 thats kinda hrd

#

yeah

main wasp
#

I need an off work day for 40 and 32

bronze viper
shy plinth
#

It was AP1 Gilga

#

Got proc blocked on ME 3 times

#

So yes I thought 32 was way harder than it actually is lol

#

Gilga is my most used weapon I think, I do enjoy it quite a bit... but it's not the best

#

Meanwhile I did a zeus run yesterday and cleared without popping SD despite not having played the weapon in months

The more you know

unique zephyr
#

Good news is I can play for longer at a time next week (1 hour) if physical therapy progresses

word

tropic stream
#

what would be a good 32 for beo

bronze viper
#

EM2 DC2 RI3

bright mango
#

This is a solid beo build/pact setup

#

@tropic stream

shy gulch
#

CF2, pain

#

pacts at 32 are still flexible so if you’re fine with FO, you can trade CF2 for FO1 or something like that

bright mango
#

yeah FO is probably a better idea

#

for cast builds you want boons

#

dont take CF2

tropic stream
#

alrighty then

bright mango
#

snow burst is very good

#

try and get it if you can

shy gulch
#

beowulf probably hates CF2 the most out of any aspect, at least ive found

#

boons good

bright mango

I wasn't comfortable with fo2 at the time so I took it

bright mango
unique zephyr
#

In trying to be careful I play so slowly TD2 becomes a problem now :/

#

It's hard to play fast AND not get hit

#

And then I got hit and died, time was out already when I died though

#

I wonder if doing a run low heat where I just go as fast as I can with no regards to anything else can improve my overall speed

shy gulch
#

yeah i think it was bright who said high heat has an interesting balance of aggression and safety

#

which i do agree with

unique zephyr
#

I just don't know how to meet that balance really

#

I thought I had a good run going too

#

I want to be good enough so 32 will be easier for me but I know that will just take time

#

How do I dodge seeker witches consistently?

shy gulch
#

get divine dash

unique zephyr
#

this is chamber 4

#

I took a lot of damage

#

For all you 40+ heat runners did many of you never think that you'd do 32 consistently?

#

just could use encouragement lol I guess, I am doing my best but still, I still don't really know how to learn from vods

#

since everything is fast

#

32 heat rama feels far off right now 😦

#

hope people don't mind me venting about how far I am from where I want my skill to be, this is the channel to vent too I assume

daring hedge
#

So it was all safety and taking a million years

#

Partly also because of +500% hard labor equivalent

shy gulch
#

honestly taht sounds like such a slog to watch and play

daring hedge
#

It was

#

My 153 heat pre pact rework record was like 45 mins, and that was before styx was even added lmao

main wasp
#

what

#

153?

#

heat used to be counted differently

quartz mantle
#

Tailesque is just crazy with it

light stag

did it go to 160?

he actually stacked like 4 pacts on top of each other

Can someone watch my lernie fights and EM3 fights sometime when I make a video just of those

it is only hard due to Lava

what's wrong with Fallout 2

@quartz mantle don't make me hurt your feelings

Everyone has been where I was to some extent right?

Where 6 x 32 felt so hard

Some people haven't even gotten to that point yet

#

But also yea I know where you're coming from

main wasp
#

I'm not at 32 yet because I'm farming thirst

so you are doing top notch
