Tried it once
4 princes
Just spamming grenades
Then one died at wind god
All the others tried to rez and died
I tried to rez and died too
u need to spam corrosive more
Also
One of them had 16 deaths, but only 4 stacks of debuff
I had 8 and 8 stacks
Why is that
Oh
Listen to Shaxx, throw more grenades
Ao Bai on a wild hunt build goes absolutely insane with two porcupines.
The full run took around 1hr 10min and bizarre dream was selected with spiritual link and mysterious jokul.

They're tanky. Have you ever fought an elite lobster in which its HP was regening?
I will never forget that run.
The issue with lobsters is that they are range. Dealing with them with other elites that chase you down can be overwhelming.
Also its large fireball has a small hitbox which can make it hard to shoot down sometimes.
this is pain 

Doesnt its hp only regen if you haven't hit it or theres another healing monster nearby
Just put a foundry shot into it
I was running weapon build
Oh ok
and a foundry wouldn't do squat
It was HP regening somehow.
It had corrosion enhancement.
Probably a healing monster nearby
Just stay away from it
Other attribute?
Defensive or somethin, it was tanky.
wait that's the other attribute
The other attribute doesn't matter.
There's only 4 and none of them have any healing effect.
The only healing monsters were Elite Monks. It was an elite gathering event.
2 Elite Monks and 3 Elite Lobsters.
They all had some elemental enhancement.
They were healing without the Monks doing their large AoE attack.
maybe the 3 lobster are together and at least one of them has the Healing enhancement?
Elite Monks have a different "lifesteal aura" attack, but it doesn't look like one.
It's when they teleport near an enemy and begin doing their song and dance, but there is no attack indicator, because it's not supposed to hurt players. It's supposed to heal enemies.
So it's possible that they were actually healing the lobsters, it just wasn't obvious at the time because you expect a giant circle of red.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That would be it
I'm sure there's a higher number out there for Fatal Bloom damage (likely w/Enhanced Sandals), but I cheesed a run to have Skill Freak, Blossom Enthus, Armed Caster, and Overconsumption just to see where we're at with the power creep.
Had a blossom apparently tick for 1.8mil.
Armed Caster certainly is...something.
You would've been better off replacing either Overconsumption or Armed Caster with Thorny Bloom.
Especially because Overconsumption and Armed Caster are both additive with general damage bonuses and each other.
That and Thorny Bloom is +1200% base DMG.
Unless you have over 24x CritX, you're not even beating that number, let alone the actual bonus.
probably the best run I've had with birb that isn't lantern farming
Forgot to mention I already had that.
Accidentally typed Overconsumption instead.
guess thorny bloom + skill freak is the most OP start, then you luck out with overconsumption and armed caster?
I've kinda embraced the power creep and just look for interesting ways to obliterate everything now
"Interesting" is debatable. It's more like looking for ways to use junk to one-shot everything.
Or just the same thing over and over otherwise.
I do it some runs just to see what "the bar" can be.
But I'd agree typically I find more satisfaction in challenging myself.
noice
nice
still waiting for a good Piercing Flame run, seems that no matter how stacked it is it always ends up being a bit underwhelming
bruh I just breezed through a reincarnation level 8 run by doing nothing but spamming tidal aspis on qian sui
I was pretty much invincible
I had capacity overdraft but for some reason I wasn't taking damage. I kept on spamming without getting punished for it.
reincarnation moment
First Completed Solo RE 8 run yay
I just nearly gave myself carpal tunnel playing Spiritual Assault, my hands hurt
Let's just say, Spiritual Assault is not designed for level 60.
Or players with the know-how who've reached that level, at least.
I'm lv110 or so and I... really have no idea how you're supposed to reasonably make it past the first, let alone second third of the mode. Me and a friend made it to the final assault wave, but we got swarmed by infinite Monks and Spirits and our weapons ended up doing next to no damage.
...not to mention the framerate.
It gives very nice Soul Essence but honestly, the stress and sheer enemy density aren't fun to me...
It's very very possible, you just need to know what you're doing at its current difficulty level.
It used to be harder, especially for multiplayer.
Dunno why they haven't added difficulty settings, honestly.
It used to be what
It's already unreasonable...
Oh, also, is it just me or are none of the mode's Challenge Events translated?
It only seems unreasonable because its got higher difficulty than most of the game and takes away multiplayer revive spamming by default. Eventually you'll have the skill and knowledge to beat it.
As for the events, it's translated for English at least.
Weird, not on my end. All the text is Chinese.
Me and my friend, for reference, are fairly comfortable on Elite difficulty -- we can do Normal reliably
Maybe the latest bug patch broke the translations. I dunno.
Ah see, that's the problem.
You need to be comfortable on at least Nightmare.
High skill game mode, don't know why it unlocks at level 60.
Here's a tip though. Use weapons and skills with AoEs to make it much easier. They are way more useful in SA compared to the main game.
Oh yup, my friend discovered that the Bone Dragon is obscenely useful in that mode
Oh and some spiritual jades (those coloured blocks you pick before starting) are way better than others.
Though you might not have some of them unlocked.
Yeah, I don't have... quite a few of them. I noticed that some of them seem situational at best.
Some of those situations are great however.
Put that one in #1060159100006178816, because that's not supposed to be like that.
For example, +3m AoE for launchers sounds rather restrictive, as what if you want to use other weapons?
But when you use the launchers, oh boy does that extra AoE count!
Way better than stuff like extra magazine capacity for rifles.
Done.
Other jades that are better include any of the [Weapon] Scavenger ones, giving you a specific weapon every 50 kills, which are all better than Arsenal Raider, which just gives any weapon every 5 levels.
Specific weapons synergizes better with certain builds, and 50 enemies are way more common than 5 levels.
Then you just have some which are better on power alone, like Chromatic Magazine.
No idea why they buffed it to what it is.
I also just struggle with the mode in general because I like high accuracy playstyles. Crit hits.
Too many targets to feasibly do that...
when your best weapon is mashing reload
downside: gonna give myself carpal tunnel
(hi, Arri mentioned a friend, I am she)
Don't need to get carpel tunnel if you use a weapon that uses its magazine real fast.
Like Tiger Cannon, Bone Dragon, Angelic Aura, Wild Hunt...
excusez-moi?
Yep, that looks about right.
You brought a way to inflict lots of damage or Miasma, right?
best sniper for crown prince?
neither of us is really sure what's going on (My friend is streaming)
Well probably the most important thing to mention is that non-crits from most weapons do almost no damage.
Gotta aim for his crit spots, which you gotta find because it's not his head.
any ideas?
Some people would say Piercing Flame due to being fire damage with high Burn chance, but the damage is sorta meh.
...19 million health is way overkill, especially for solo...
meh
That amount is equivalent to the highest difficulty.
Definitely not for level 60 players.
Is that SA?
It is.
Gluttony gets 19.2 mil in SA.
Pole Monarch gets 19.5 mil on the highest difficulty.
Wonder what difficulty SA ends on.
Highest.
In multiplayer, R8 (and maybe R7) receive double the Health bonuses from additional players, going from 100%, 500%, 900% and 1300%.
This also applies to Gluttony.
Ohh does it start on normal
then when assault gets fiercer
it goes to elite
yes
I think it goes elite after the first elite group.
That's when enhanced enemies start appearing.
Its difficulty is "normal reincarnation."
R1?
ah alright
could just mean it goes from normal to reincarnation.
there's kinda 8 reincarnations
yeah
It definitely doesn't stop at R1.
And most of them are probably skipped.
There doesn't need to be 8 difficulties of reincarnation.
ig so
I diiiiid it
that fight took like 20 minutes even with me hammering weak points when available
closer to 25 actually
love refresh addict + occult booster
na its slow it was lone wolf x 4
but ideally im trying to get the tao spd run on just r8 😄
My RE8 was still 1+ hour long, gonna have to do better along the road
Blade of bloom even better
I've only done solo re8 on the starter cat prince (i forgot the name), haven't finished solo re8 on tao yet
I mean I've only finished one solo re8 so, still working on it
Not really.
Especially if they were running spores.
Let alone blossom blessing doesn't proc blade of bloom.
Yeah I know
But blade of bloom
when you make a swords out build
is crazy
Swords Out and Blade of Bloom don't really work with each other since any ascension related to Swords Out directly doesn't affect Blade of Bloom. It's either one or the other.
not sword defense nor Shadow something doesn’t but the rest do
Yeah but if you're running Swords Out, Sword Shadow is pretty much a must have.
By proxy, Warlike Blade won't affect it either.
Mmmmm Warlike Blade. Now this is fine dining.
RoF buffs on slower weapons has been my interest lately. It's fun having a Fire Tower swoosh quickly. Granted Warlike is kinda terrible for slower weapons but Wildfire tho 🔥
I love how quickly you can get a FT to swing in SA.
Swords out ascensions work with blade of bloom though
So 100% flying sword damage does double the damage caused by swords summoned by BoB
That's not a Swords Out ascension, it just affects flying swords.
If you're making a Swords Out build chances are you'd be rarely using blade of bloom.
It's just not really worth it.
Epic Swordcraft, Amplified Sword, Furious Wave, Sword Enthusiast and Sword Guard apply to all flying swords.
Luminous Heart applies to Swords Out, plus Blade of Bloom by proxy.
Sword Shadow, Sword Defense and half of No Escape only apply to Swords Out.
Warlike Blade only applies to Swords Out by proxy.
My bad, its a blade manipulation thingy
HoB?
Hail of Bullets.
Ah
And FT is fire tower
yeah that does seem busted
you just get like 4x the amount of swings you normally get
or no
4x less ammo consumption
that part does not work without swaping weapon on reaload
but the dmg is now active under the same condition as Priemtive strike
alr
Hmm, does energy blade apply to all hits of ghost's skill?
Most likely.
Though gotta remember you still need to hit 12 times with regular attacks to get one.
So it might sound cool, but a Fire Tower bonk would be more readily available.
And doesn't need element share for extra Combustion since you got smokes.
You know Li might be able to make use of it in a similar fashion if it wasn't for her skills overshadowing her weapons.
Since Molten Meteor is up to +450% weapon DMG and +60% elemental effect chance.
hey is there an updated gun tier list somewhere?
Probably, but not here.
Though tier lists are subjective and often specific to certain heroes and playstyles, so take them with a grain of salt.
thought so but still couldve used an idea as to whats usually good
I'm trying to beat gfr using character skills as my main source of damage lmao
this is my progress
R8 lone wolf 4 too
bunny swords and bunny bloom should be easy
tiger thunder and chain lightning too
good luck with bird cleave tho
Yeah I tried it alr and failed miserably
I needed more absolute advantage and fierce wings
I'm most scared for the fist build
I've tried it and it has potential
but like bird you need perfect ascensions
and cat splinter orb
Those will be the worst
Fist build you don't need perfect ascensions.
Since you also benefit from movement, which means anything like weapons and scrolls that increase movement can be used as well.
That and a lot more ascensions can be used while fisting enemies.
Just checked now, Turtle has exactly 3 ascensions that don't benefit shielding and fisting in some way.
Maybe 4 if you want to count White Water.
Almost guaranteed to have an acceptable ascension choice.
Birb on the other hand has 8 useless ascensions when it comes to Cleave.
6 if you're willing to accept Steel Armor and Iron Scud.
Good luck doing reasonable damage with that without a stunlock build.
Eh, who am I kidding. You'll definitely take Splinter Orb for a stunlock build.
does Lucky Shot override Crit?
No, they work together.
Energy bolt moment
any chance you can explain it to me?
I can't seem to process how lucky shot works
I gotchu
So lucky shot is just a flat damage boost
If you have 50% lucky shot
then your attacks have a 50% change to do double damage
100% lucky shot, 100% chance to do double damage
If you have above 100%
Like 150%
You have a 50% chance to do triple damage
and a 50% to do double damage
if you have 190% then you have a 90% to do triple damage, 10% to do double, etc
And if you have above 200%
then you go into quadruple
250% is 50% quadruple damage, 50% triple
It maxes out at 300%
Which is 100% chance to do 4x damage
Criticals will multiply that damage based on the "critX" of the weapon
If a weapons critX is 5, a critical hit will do 5x the damage the gun normally would
so if you have 300% lucky shot
a weapon with 5 critX
and the weapon does 1000 damage
The lucky shot will make the weapon do 4000 damage (because 300% lucky shot is 4x damage)
And if you crit, your critX makes you do 5x more damage
so you will end up with 20,000 damage
Sorry for the text wall, hope this helps tho
No problem lol
It doesn't max out.
The number stays red, but the damage keeps going up.
so over 300% lucky shot adds more damage?
Yes.
Oh I didnt know
Mb
nah fam you good thanks for the quick replies both of yolu
one more question
the Elite monster in the final area
that splits into 3, the sniper one
how do I know wh ich is the real one
It's a subtle tell, but the most consistent way to tell is ||the real one fires several shots in quick succession, the fakes fire once||.
This isn’t the intended tell, but depending on your loadout, ||if you have applied an elemental effect that colors the enemy, only the real one will be colored after the split||
Also ||the fakes have much less health. If you’re killing it too quickly, you’re hitting a fake, lol||
Oh yeah that too
Or if its like
corrosive or fiery
The real one will have a fireball over its head before the rest
Cuz it started creating its fireball before the split
Usually the fakes go back the second you hit them lol
That's because you're doing too much damage.
AKA casual Reincarnation levels of damage.
Yeah exactly, lol
Ah so shoot them with foundry
who ping me 
Probably still less value than Skill Freak and a Concealed Ammo.
But I mean, if you get it, permanent +1200% ain't bad.
Yeah plans for bunny bloom run is probably endless assault then skill freak (hopefully)
Endless assault down hell yeah
Of course, Blossom Enthusiast trumps both of them.
Because what else would you expect from a hero blessing that isn't Dominating Fist or Bladed Cleave?
Didnt think of that
Well if I can get through the elite gathering I'll try it
What other ascensions would I use for fist build?
Dominating Fist is a blessing.
It's inferior to Skill Freak in every way, besides requiring less movement to make Wave-breaking Blow hit more times, and boosting weapon damage with Concussive Current/Libra Warrior.
Alright
So do I take the libra warrior, skill freak, or endless assault for my first blessing?
I personally prefer skill freak over endless assault. Sole exception is Atomic Bomb builds.
+125% total DMG on average finishes off enemies faster. Sure you eventually run out, but the DMG bonus almost translates to +125% capacity by technicality.
Ye.
oh +125% ye
Alr I'll try skill freak punch build again once I deal with bunny blossom
Glazed barrier can die in a pit
Endless Assault wins out solely in endurance, where you would run out of uses without it.
But Turtle gets 1 use every 2s when his aspis is up anyway, and consuming ammo recovers uses, so does it even matter?
True that
What about libra warrior?
Is that any good for the build?
Only for weapon builds. Useless for skill builds.
Alright then
Interestingly enough it lets you use stuff like Rogue Wave ascension to improve your weapons.
ye
I guess I'll take skill freak first then once I get to desert...
Idk maybe then I take endless assault or armed caster
I hate elite arsonist I hate elite arsonist I hate elite arsonist I hate elite arsonist I hate elite arsonist
I also hate elite mandrill cavalry I also hate elite mandrill cavalry I also hate elite mandrill cavalry I also hate elite mandrill cavalry
You've met the only act 4 enemy that can actually kill you if you have an OP build.
Be honored.
I've met them many a times and have died to them many a time
They're literally the only thing standing in my way from beating the turtle fist run
besides pushover pole monarch
but hes a pushover
So you should be even more honored that they've killed you time and time again.
For some incredibly strange reason, I don't
Thank them for being one of few things left in the game that actually pose a threat.
No I like playing the game on babee mode
🙏
They dont need a lot to be a bit more fair
Just for that fire trail to not deal ungodly amounts of damage and same with their flamethrower
My money is on them getting nerfed when the Hyperborean Jokul map for Spiritual Assault gets released.
Because the devs will realize all their other buffs haven't stopped people from dying.
Oh yeah, I don't wanna imagine one coming out every 2 seconds blasting you with flames
Holy shit I don't think this is even possible
I have literally everything for this build
I even had lifesaver
The only thing I didnt have was my one soul essence revive
2 triple comebacks, etc
I still get rolled by those 3 motherfuckers
pls nerf
Honestly they'd probably just be like any other elite in SA, instantly deleted. Unless they do something about the power creep.
They don't get instantly deleted though, that's why they're so dangerous.
Not only does their first attack (which in SA, they will most likely pull off from you being distracted by all the chaos) close the distance fast and act as area denial, and a lot of it when there are many, but when you one-shot them, you have to hit them again to actually kill them or else they come back for another surprise ambush charge attack.
Their health pool is fine tbh
They just end up getting one-shot twice.
I don't think they need to be instantly deleted
It's just a matter of waiting for the animation to finish.
but their damage is so over-the-top that everything is unfair
They get one-shot twice, but that's still twice as much attention you need to give them compared to literally anything else.
And they will still likely hit you unless you saw their approach.
thats it I'm sacrificing endless assault for fake death
Here's hoping the extra life will save the run
here's also hoping capacity overdraft doesnt fuck me too hard
Especially in a game mode that prioritizes killing things quickly, them surviving for longer is a big difference.
Them surviving for longer with their insane damage*
Doubt it, since it only works on-kill and once every 45s. You'd have to both kill an elite within the 10s you're given to stay alive, and survive another 45 seconds in the battle if you want another chance.
I DID IT
HOLY SHOT
SHIT
THE EXTRA LIFE WORKED
GET REKT ALTANNA
IM RIGHT FOR ONCE
(the only reason it worked is because I had 2 triple comebacks so it could proc 3 times, one for each elite)
I then died to pole monarch because of his one phase where he summons balls
Fuck
Time to alt f4 glitch
Ok progress report
I made it back to the monarch
And I now have riches priveleges
and managed to save one of the triple comebacks
Its over
I would like to thank altanna for telling me what blessings to get
new progress report on my journey
Surprisingly I think bird cleave will be easier than cat orb
Ye
However cleave has more raw damage potential
You just need hella luck
something I dont have 
Eh, not really.
Energy Bolt, Combustion and 3 times the energy orbs being fired are pretty devastating damage bonuses.
On top of most enemies being unable to fight back, once you get enough cooldown reduction.
But with cleave range, easy kill, and fierce wings cleave can be nasty
yeah yeah stunlock
Energy Orb also gets range, Energy Bolt is up to 18.55x average damage compared to Fierce Wing's 4x (7420 vs 3200).
Only thing Cleave would have is Easy Kill, which requires serious dedication to it. You won't be able to kill enemies early on with other means without sabotaging Cleave later on.
Ok fine ur right
But I was still right about fake death
ha
enhanced energy sandals is funny.
What a rush
so close yet so far 
Is that lone wolf 4 reincarnation 8?
quick alt f4
R4
It still works
only if you have revives
nope
I used it when I died to pole monarch
as long as you don't actually give up the run you can alt f4
Not when I last tried.
Strange. it worked literally an hour and a half ago lmao
welp
should've alt f4ed
If you had 0 revives left alt f4'ing didn't work.
It does tho
It only worked if you had a revive.
As I said, I literally did it an hour and a half ago no revives
It must have been patched then.
I died with no revives, no triple comeback, no fake death, no anything
Within 90 minutes?
Since the last time I've tried.
I don't think an update was dropped within the past 2 hours
Which was a long time ago.
You mean unpatched?
I mean patched.
almost good run tho, could have just spammed skills instead
If it didnt work when you did it then it was patched
A long time ago when you alt f4'd with no revives you couldn't return to your game.
The game was over.
THat's what I said.
???
It's either a bug or was patched.
Its not patched tho
lol
It can't be unpatched if it was never patched to begin with.
It always worked the way I said until now, according to you.
So if it doesnt work its not patched
and if it does work it is patched
Like I said, it's either patched or is a bug.
Its probably a bug
They probably added in a new feature that messed with the code that patched it
unpatching it
You can't unpatch something that was never patched to begin with.
If it didnt work, according to you, it was patched
That's how it initially worked so it wasn't patched. lol
Alright then
So this is just a whole new bug
that shares some similarities with a previous bug
There's a few of these profile frame unlocks that I have no idea how to even begin doing. Not least because a lot of them require Nightmare difficulty... or solo. Or BOTH.
I think the one thats hardest to get is either monkeys or cats
This one's just ridiculous.
Ah, the non-DLC frame with the second lowest completion rate.
Because it's the only one that actually requires skill.
That was the first frame I ever got
besides the 1 mil one and the other one
I forgot what it is but its another special one
fireworks I think
I'm still working my way up to Nightmare difficulty.
Ah alright
Why is gold even an option here? lol
because what else are you gonna use it for
Uh, wep upgrades?
Reincarnation 1 is the best way to get that frame
Those aren't very important
I don't even have Reincarnation unlocked, and given the sheer step up that Nightmare is, I'm afraid
No I know
but once you do it's a lot easier than nightmare
Come to think of it, Nightmare feels a lot like how I remember the game being around the time it first released on Steam in Early Access...
Yeah
The game is very hard earlygame
nightmare is also considered earlygame
Cat orb build is pretty dumb with enhanced energy sandals.
however I'm pretty sure theres been some smaller nerfs towards the earlygame. hopefully it's a bit easier
All skill builds are
What's so unique about Reincarnation that makes it so much simpler than Nightmare?
Any skill build besides Fatal Bloom is.
Not simpler
But the reincarnation levels offer crazy buffs for soul essence
Oh oof. I haven't finished off the Talent tree yet.
You get a bunch of extra stuff to use, most of which are upgrades or outright overpowered bonuses.
40% chance to throw all grenades you have in your storage for the price of one
And the more you throw, the more damage they do
*for the price of none
Oh dam
Its so fun to just get double exhilaration and the double your fun thing. You become a hose of explosions
guys why my loading screen take longer than any other even my net good with oppo A74 ._.
What is the monkey in the discord server banner?
Are you doing a secondary build for every character?
No I'm doing a run where I try to beat r8 lone wolf 4 using one of a characters 2 skills as my main source of damage
This is my progress
Only one thats missing is dog dual wield but that does 0 damage lol
Overconsumption and Field Prof for Sword out
Cleave and orb I just have to get god ascension luck
Naruhodo
Not even luck depending on how stubborn you are
Cat orb is ezpz albeit slow as FFUUUUUUUUUUCK
if a gone says "10% weapon base damage upon hitting an enemy. (UP to 200%, resets on a miss)" does that carry over act to act until you miss?
It carries over.
Alr
But also resets on weapon swap.
cool thanks mate
bunny swords out might be the strongest build I've ever come across
Turned the 3 elite mandrill cavalrys into offbrand sushi
Didn't even get Sword Enthusiast.
is that a blessing or an ascension?
Oh is that the +50% rof and you can stack the blade thingies while swords out is on cooldown
It wasnt really worth it tbh
I was just spamming swords out cuz the cooldown was so low
100% uptime of swords obliterating anything I look at
That's Sword Mastery. It's virtually junk.
Sword Enthusiast is +1.5/2.5/4% weapon and skill DMG for 8/8/10s per flying sword summoned.
The more swords you throw out, the more damage they all deal.
Oh yeah that thing
I should have looked for that
The last perk gives lucky shot as well.
anyone else suddenly takeing way more damage on some runs
like i sware some runs ill die almost instantly in the first or second room whereas others feel like i cant be hurt till area 2
man spiritual assault is hell as birb
1 hook and instant death lol
since can't use kick while being roadhog'd every half a second
On the other hand, Cleave is unironically one of the most powerful skills there.
Yeah
I got a god cleave run there once
did 3.3 billion damage
Speaking of cleave, cleave run for birb is done
All I have is the two cat skills
grenade should be ez cuz painkiller
Its the orb I'm worried about
Orb isn't that bad, especially if manage to get enhanced energy sandals.
Everything except Dual-Wield, Fatal Current, Fatal Bloom and Soul Strike isn't that bad if you manage to get enhanced energy sandals.
Septupling your damage is no joke, even in GFR where getting high damage is laughably easy.
Except orb can perma stun lock. enhanced energy sandals just makes it quicker to kill.
Fatal currents lightning bolt benefits right?
And why doesnt it benefit fatal bloom?
Thunderbolts do not benefit from it. Good thing too. We don't need a third massive multiplicative bonus on top of Thunder & Glory and Fulminous Zap affecting all 7 of your thunderbolts from Thunder Nemesis 3.
Fatal Bloom does technically benefit from it, however each additional damage proc is separately boosted. So you're only benefiting 400 base damage each time. Even Smoke Grenade can do better than that with Combustion existing.
Ah I see
I guess 7x damage on top of thunderbolt would be cracked
That'll be almost as easy. Just pick Painkiller.
yep
Then just go elemental build from there
sure its not a pure grenade build but the damage comes from the grenades

Well as long as you don't shoot or use Energy Orb, 100% of actual damage will come from Smoke Grenades.
Because true damage based on enemy max HP doesn't count, right?
Sure lol
I can still shoot and use the orb tho
If I run out of grenades it becomes an issue
It has to be most of my damage comes from the grenades
like 90% minimum
Which is easy lategame
yeah right
gg
Hi do you guys know how weapon damage affect spores? Because it could only buff the rainbow and then be pretty useless or buff damage from all weapon and then it will buff spores damage as well
Check the wiki. It has the formula on there I'm pretty sure
"Spores only benefit from some damage bonuses."
Is the most precise they got
I just wanna know if weapon damage boosting scrolls affect both weapons or only the one in hand
It will affect the damage of the spores applied by the weapon in your hand, yes.
What in the luck
The base damage of the spore explosion is based on both weapon stats and then it gets damage bonuses applied to it after, AFAIK. So any “+X% Weapon Damage” scrolls do increase your spore damage.
I wish the emotional damage of me rerolling 30 times also added to the damage
I wish the emotional damage of me dying to the ridiculous amount of damage created by r8 crossbowmen added to the damage
I got massive emotional damage when I kept rerolling enhanced scrolls and didn't notice how nuts the cost got until I got under 19k soul essence
and I ended up with enhanced sixth shot or something it was awful
alt-f4 that
that's unethical
I'll just open up four or five chrome tabs and crash my entire computer from lack of memory
by "accident"

Hi question
Does anyone know if they plan on making more reincarnation levels or making the main game mode harder ?
Uh
I played spiritual assault yesterday and I beat it within 3 tries
I don't think new reincarnation levels are in the plan
I really enjoy the game but the main mode got easy
if they are, I assume it will only be 2 more
Oh okay
which might give difficulty increases
considering the way development goes I think it's fair to assume that challenge will have to be self imposed for the most part
yeah
I mean
you can always give yourself challenges
scrolless runs
No dashes
no primarys or secondaries

etc
I wish there was a modding system for the game to enable higher difficulties
Theres a lot of ways to make the game challenging
Yeah
Too bad the game is practically unmoddable
I mean my friend and I beat it on reincarnation 8 with no scrolls ... Took around 2 hours tho
I'm not too sure why, I think it has something to do with the fact that its developed in china and so most modders don't wanna deal with code in foreign languages
That could be completely wrong
Maybe theres a different way of coding over there
Yeah it has so much potential if modding was available
I mean maybe
Only thing we got for modding is bizarre dream lol
Yup
- Do not discuss or engage in piracy, cheating, modding, data mining, leaked materials or similar topics revolving around Gunfire Reborn.
- For emphasis, we would like to not have any discussions about modding Gunfire Reborn on the server. This is in accordance with the wishes of the developers. This also includes texture swaps and simple replacements.
If the current trend of updates continues, not only will they not add more things to make Reincarnation harder, but they'll keep buffing spiritual blessings and making Bizarre Dream modifiers that make the game even easier.
Our bad 
Oh cool, more buffs!

Sad part is, I want it to be a funny joke.
But history shows it's neither funny nor a joke anymore. 😔
Don't be sad, my friend. The fact is that the Devs do care about the overseas players. Just don't forget to leave your opinions or let's say "complains" on Steam.
If only I was on tao and was going for the world record that luck is world record luck
I did make a Steam review for the game some time ago.
Big chunky one that listed good and bad things the game has.
No offence but, just you alone would not make significant change. Maybe half of the Discord members making comments on Steam would work.
Actually this is the first game that the studio made that the main customers are not located in China, for us, Everyday = making the game better + learn how to deal with the overseas market.
Ye I'm pumped
We still got a long way to go, and we really hope to have the company of you guys along the way
Yessir
I took a hiatus and I probably will some months into the future but this is a game Im playin for a loong time
I am... fully aware of this unfortunate fact. Most people prefer to have an easy game where they can become super powerful on the highest difficulty.
Unfortunately this ends up giving them false satisfaction where they think they're good but really aren't, not that it really matters in the big picture.
Damn ok 
i still don't understand why it's such a big problem that this game is easy
I love easy things
every other roguelike on steam is hard, why can't gfr do something different?
My monke brain cant deal with anything else
The game being easy overall isn't a problem.
It's the fact that all the recent things that make the game easier... are exclusive to harder difficulties and modes.
The hard stuff is becoming easier, without making the actual easy stuff easier too.
i really still don't think it's that deep
LOL same, when I play games I don't actually want hardcore experience, especially nowadays.
Consider the fact that the first few difficulties are actually pretty hard.
Yes, thank you for making the game simple and easy with a little challenge earlygame
But I totally understand what Altanna said.
It means that people looking for an easy game has to go through hard difficulties to get to the easy content that keeps getting added and updated.
Oh yeah for sure
We've talked about this
It makes no sense from a gameplay design perspective.
People not having talents, game knowledge, and blessings earlygame makes normal, elite, and nightmare horrible
I think a lot of people don't want to make it into later game, thinking it'll just be a lot harder than earlygame
True. The discuss of Simple or Difficult shouldn't only base on the game content, bu the overall system (Gameplay Framework).
I think there could be some system in place to make earlygame easier but I can't think of what it could be
Another thing is even if the game is being designed to become easy by adding more powerful things, it's still not good to leave weaker things weak.
And we are working on that, which is allowing players to have easy game fight, while the others could also pursuit hardcore experience in GFR
Maybe like a soul essence % increase until you beat nightmare or something
Oh a hardcore mode would be cool
Limited revives or something
Only 2 blessings allowed
Or just a lot of super buffed content
Personally I'd prefer if weak got buffed and strong got nerfed, but if that not going to be done for balance purposes, the weak should still be buffed.
Limited revives in multiplayer
I don't want lategame to be nerfed, I'd much rather there be more optional challenge
However, I agree that earlygame should still be buffed
Currently the only optional challenge we have late game is Mysterious Jokul, and it only barely manages that by making elite enemies ridiculously powerful and unbalanced by enhancing them.
And lone wolf
Lone Wolf doesn't count. The free blessing ruins any challenge.
It depends on the blessing picked, but if you pick a good one, it does remove a lot of challenge from the run.
I just pick ulti gambler to deal with my shit rng
Ultimate Gambler is one of the more balanced blessings.
It doesnt make the normal game harder
Which at this point means "weak".
So you'll definitely get more challenge from picking it.
But those 5 elites really tend to fuck me up unless the run is a god run
I also find it more fun tho
Almost all builds rely on ascensions, so why not buff your chance of getting a good one?
Otherwise you just open 300 chests and don't get that one easy kill or that one wavebreaking blow
Oh right, and about this...
Technically a hardcore experience already happened... 3 times I think? Maybe 4 times if you include Spiritual Assault.
The addition of Nightmare difficulty. The addition of Reincarnation difficulty. The addition of Reincarnation 8. The addition of Spiritual Assault.
All of these added considerable challenge to the game when they were released.
All of them except Nightmare have been made easier through updates.
I feel like if I were to go back to nightmare I wouldn't stand a chance
Reincarnation's blessings were buffed repeatedly. Reincarnation 8's exclusive challenges were nerfed, and Spiritual Assault just got easier in almost every way, especially in multiplayer.
Right. Which is why I'm thinking we could get a dedicated hardcore mode
Enemies get like 2x health and damage or everything becomes enhanced idk I'm not very creative
Enhanced bosses 
Assuming history repeats itself, even if you label a new mode as "Super Hardcore Mode No Casual Gamers Allowed Because You Will Die If You Suck", chances are it would still become easier over time as people complain about it.
If history repeats itself, the devs won't stand their ground.
Remember how Li got nerfed?
1 nerf, barely changed her damage potential.
Was this recently?
Mysterious Jokul makes me want to slam my head into my desk
Then people complained about how "Paid DLC heroes are getting axed and are useless now" and she was conveniently given 4 buffs and a new powerful blessing next update.
Let's see...
Damn this community loves their fox girls
09/23/2022 was when she was nerfed, 10/28/2022 update was when she got several buffs.
more like they love pay2win
About 1 month difference. Immediate response.
I picked the game back up nov 2023
2022*
Looks like I missed the unnerf li storm
I can see it though
didn't even notice the nerf lul
The devs listen to majority complaints. If people find a hardcore difficulty hard and complain, the devs will make it easier.
The second their 5 dollar character gets nerfed people revive the server to bitch about it
Thats stupid
It was barely a nerf too.
"I'm not good enough for this hard mode make it easier for me"
Said nerfed ascension is still superior to every other hero's ascension that is similar.
With a few exceptions that are questionable to include due to their utility nature.
Conflagration went from 150/300/450% Base DMG to 120/240/360% Base DMG. Damage bonus increase from energy consumption was untouched.
Ah alr
As comparison, most heroes have 100/200/300%, with no secondary damage effect.
Bro if theres any damage ascensions they should buff its the monkes
Cat has 200/400/600
Birb has 200/400/600
^
Ehh
Tiger has 300/400/500
Bunny does have 100/200/300
Turtle has nothing
And monke has 70/140/280
Maybe it would be easier if I just posted this:
https://gunfirereborn.fandom.com/wiki/Conflagration
Conflagration is an Ascension. Increases the base damage of all sources of Spiritual Flame, including Flare Calling and Firefox Blessing. Additionally the damage bonus from consuming energy is increased, making it more effective to channel powerful Spiritual Flames instead of weaker ones. Level 3 bonus: damage will increase even further by up to...
Its not easier lol
Easier for me.
I cant read minds
Oh but a lot of heros have 100/200/300 for secondary skills
If that was what u were talking abt
In any case. Conflagration great, Conflagration nerfed, Conflagration still great despite complaints.
Complaints heard, Li buffed.
yes
Complaints superior to reason. Any past or future attempt at hard difficulty nerfed from complaints.
Game easy.
Yea
I just wish people knew what hard meant
I mean I'm stupid, as proven from our skill ascension above, but not that stupid
That is the problem, when the game are made so simple, the gameplay logic of your main customer would be like this. Although they are the majority and could make you a lot of money.
I can also understand pay2win as well. I don't agree with it, but I can understand why people want it.
Problem is, it still doesn't hold up with the development choices.
Monke for example is about as good as any other free hero.
It's only Li who is superior.
If pay 2 win was really the intention, Monke would be buffed to her level.
In conclusion, the Devs must consider the market
, and try to balance both business and gameplay.
It has to do with first impressions, and setting the player's expectations.
Game's difficulty is like a bell curve. After a point, gets easier as you progress, so people expect it to continue with that trend.
Xing Zhe was decently balanced and people didn't mind.
Li, on the other hand, was overtuned from the start, and that's what people expected. Reception definitely would've been different had she been undertuned, then buffed to be OP, then nerfed back to normal.
it has been done
You can beat all 4 acts of gfr using every characters primary and secondary skill (besides dual wield) as your main source of damage
Now do it with every weapon, starting with Frenzied Shark.
I would but I'm not spending 10 years to get them all from green chest
Don't have to, just need to find one then do majority damage with it.
Have fun with the ping pong ball launcher!
With my luck I'ma get it at 4-2
You gave me an idea
Time to try dual frenzied shark

well not time to do it now
bc its 12 am and I have homework
But tomorrow
perfect
Give those bastards a taste of their own medicine
What blessings do I take though
One dog army first for sure
Need that earlygame damage
then weapon genius
For lategame damage with 2 of the frenzieds
Those 2 blessings contradict each other.
You'd be better off with Overconsumption for early game.
Does dogs explosion ascensions buff scorching rounds?
It does.
Ooooo 
Damn he's HOT
Real talk tho I finally got to try the triple ricochet x2 yoinky sploinky deluxe and it's as funny as it sounds.
Act 2 down
Altanna im gonna beat this challenge and theres nothing you can do but watch
Well
Not watch
but listen to me beat act after act
What in the builds were you going for?
+26 fire scalpel. Okay, sure, you're going to create an epik fire delete gun. Okay

(this message was not made with offense btw I just am confused)
spamming meteor
Why spend money on scalpel then?
Instead of saving for riches privileges
If you had it
That scalpel is strong.
To have an alternate kill option.
idek i just feel like want more omph
both
Took you 2 hours to beat it though.
I may have taken a slight break
||and used the alt f4 glitch for better ascensions||
Stalling and cheating.
And here I thought you wanted to prove yourself. 😔
woah woah woah
Not stalling
I just had dinner
and a lil bit of ragequit
And cheating nahh
I'm just...
using faulty code to my advantage :D
Also I'm not trying to prove myself, I'm trying to prove the ping pong ball launcher
And lying too! Does your shame know no bounds??
Run looking a little dead
Since when do elite lobsters do 1k damage on their normal attack
Probably the giant mortar shell finale.
Normal attack
Regardless, theres 2 new heroes coming out it seems
Can't wait to spend 10 hours on their skill-as-my-main-damage runs

Once I beat frenzied shark run ofc
我不最喜欢中文课 
Has Xbox received all the content pc has?
I’m new to the game so I’m just wondering
Is there an idea of when it’ll come ? Or nah?
I dont think they plan on doing that. Coding for different platform is really tidious so they probably just ported the game for gamepass and that's it
What about all the new content on the roadmap, is that just for pc?
Steam is the original and main platform, so everything on the roadmap comes to Steam first.
With Mobile following behind slightly (and sometimes getting things before Steam) with Gamepass trailing way way way behind to the point it looks like it's not moving at all.
Ah man that’s kind of a bummer
I just downloaded today so I got plenty to play with
For now
Hello fellow lemon.
It’s a lemon party in here
😦😦

Someone dropped an enhanced Wheel Saw (the shield/armor busting one) in Longling Tomb and I kept that for the rest of the run. With counterviolence, deadly counter, and skilled trick. I was the chainsaw monkey!
dangerous
chainsaw dog is my spirit animal
that's sounds fun, I mostly use the illusion shotguns. I remember when I first started I used miniguns alot and used to much ammo lol.
I dropped the frenzied shark run
I could have alt f4ed it
but I wasnt about to grind out some god luck
Its got decent mobbing potential
with dog explosion enhancements
but its got shitty boss and elite damage
Congrats. If you didn't already, now you know why Frenzied Shark is considered the worst weapon in the game.
To wash the taste of that previous run out of your mouth, your next run will be Deafening Mortar.
when I say decent mobbing
i mean it was great at it
I could clear white sharks in a few shots
and entire areas of enemies
But yeah
Its god damn bossing
was so shit
I have been wanting to try dual flakkers
Wait so thunderbolts aren't skill damage?
They are.
but energy sandals doesnt affect them.
They are not "skills" but they deal "skill damage" so i guess energy sandals increase damage specifically for primary or secondary skill
Like direct damage?
By the way is it the first instance of damage or every? (idek if there's a skill that deal damage multiple times)
No i mean either primary or secondary skill
Guess cleave works
Does energy sandal buffs the first enemy hit by bird's cleave or every hit of the first cleave?
Every hit.
I'd imagine Fatal Current's thunderbolts are like additional triggers, rather than the skill itself.
Oh yeah i know: bunny's primary skill. Does it buff the first sword or every sword?
Because Fatal Current itself is a buff. All other sources of skill damage are based on additional triggers, like shooting an enemy and ascensions.
I'd imagine it's similar to how Energy Sandals doesn't work on every random flying sword that gets triggered by Empathy With Sword... at least I assume it doesn't.
Latest patch note
Do you think it could be that it now works on every sword?
That's Swords Out, not Empathy With Sword.
Don't know if it now works on every flying sword though regardless of source, and have no real intention to find out either.
should be all swords in one Cast
yo y'all
im workin on a channel with a bunch of useful resources related to the game listed for reference, feel free to DM me any infographics, charts, links, or whatever you might find useful so i might consider putting it in the channel
so how is the enemies getting occult scrolls is it balanced or is it ror2 void fields bad?
It's either piss easy, reasonably painful or somewhere in between, depending on how good you are at choosing.
Or it can be hell if you chose the worst every time can't it?
Probably.
But you probably won't get that unless you do something really stupid.
Like picking Shrine of Recovery knowing full well you have to fight Elite Thunderous Stalkers or Elite Mandrill Cavalry without a high damage build.
Or Resilient Life and Flesh and Bones :)
And Stone Skin, and Corrosion Enthousiast etc.
Could make a run really hard lol
Though you can stack 5 scrolls at max on enhanced elites ennemies in Hyperborean Jokul
Can someone explain what the spiritual assault mode is
No talents except hero ones, pick a limited number of bonuses to start with, then fight constant swarms of enemies for 30 minutes, with occasional breaks in combat, events and elite enemy encounters throughout. Afterwards, fight the boss Gluttony.
You also level up and get various rewards as you kill enemies.
i just picked up a curiosity box that gave me silver medal and two cursed scrolls
as tao.
so i basically got nothing and two cursed scrolls
@_@
Silver Medal still helps Tao, but not as much.
you get the regen on breaking items, but that's about it
definitely not worth -30% damage to elites and exponential elemental chance decrease
-30% damage is only elites, not bosses.
And elemental effect chance reduction only applies to the held weapon, not skills, scrolls, element share gemini or other effects.
Still unfortunate. but not as bad as it might seem.
When are they adding a new free character to mobile
2 month nu big new update
