Yeah, I was playing around with unorthodox pacts leading up to 32...from now on, it will be 32, 40, 50, etc...in a more widely accepted format. I stair-stepped to 32 to "earn" it.

Why does it say total clears 57 when the weapon clears only add up to 7?
ebon berry
I am using a max save file
it has cleared run history
but starts with 50 clears, with no particular aspect
this game lags when you have more than 1000 ish attempts, so the reset in attempts is needed

Oh weird
It lags that noticeably?
So you can reset attempts but keep all your loot?

It lags that noticeably?

Mhm, could’ve probably done EM4 if I picked that instead
And my previous fastest run, got a lil too lucky tbh

I can live with a common attack, but no heartrend was sad

thanks for showing up 1 whole time in the run ares
but atleast the 1 time you did show up i got epic attack

highly optimal pact
i just chose rama because it only really needs the attack boon and 1 of dio zoos ares special so AP doesnt really matter

Any reason for starting with cluster bomb instead of rocket?
Cluster does struggle a lot outside of tartarus

Any reason for starting with cluster bomb instead of rocket?
You cant get offered triple
viral elm
idk ive never found rocket start to be that great compared to cluster start
ill give it a shot if it really does do better in later biomes though
ebon berry
You cant get offered triple
Its only a 3% improvement chance to get cluster rockets
Basically meaningless
viral elm
also triple rocket probably pretty decent anyways
ebon berry
Goes from 30/100 to 33/100
viral elm
its no clockets but its still decent
misty falcon
Its only a 3% improvement chance to get cluster rockets
an increase is an increase
ebon berry
its no clockets but its still decent
My gripe with it is that it locks you in place, and doesnt properly reload until you've fired all 3 rockets
zinc lintel
Rocket also oneshots every non armored enemy in Tart w/ Fiery and Eris buff
zinc lintel
Also it's a different playstyle than regular rail special and I feel like you wanna get used to that and have that be your constant rather than be your high roll
misty falcon
My guy why do you have 3 different bouldy emotes

To go from 30 to 33 you multiply by 1.1

Just got the game like 2 days ago with some birthday money, fell in love, favorite game ever now and this is my first escape! ❤️
hard solar
Tried a fresh file run to see how soon I could escape. Answer, run #4 with a ridiculously synergistic build:
- Fire blades into middle of arena
- Hit something to start the crits rolling
3... - Persephone!
I played Anvil roulette but lost (traded twin shot for triple and charged volley, and kept piercing)

Took a break from 40, as I have random codex things to complete…so I tried out Zag spear…rarely used the special to pop some doom.
I was like @ebon berry with the Zeus shield and just totally exploited the Tart flurry jab…probably gonna just do all aspects with 32, hopefully completing the codex

You don't need all aspects at 32 to complete the codex

Or at least it feels like it would be.

If your goal is to go fast, like that one above, the dumbfire rocket is basically a melee attack as is your regular - shoot the walls in between waves works for me, ymmv

I'll try that, the cool down starts when you load it so you could load multiple still? 2,500 was worth 3 casts when I didn't miss. Still low heat too

Don’t wanna bother with 40 heat but trying some different pacts for added challenge…that em4 fight took literally 8 minutes and I never got mirage or anything useful and no health but this one felt special (might have yelled at the tv very loudly as one would if their team wins the super bowl)
Gonna swap to stubborn I think but this is a fun pact for those of you looking for a challenge that doesn’t involve approval process lol
