is paranormality busted or am i just bad at the game
because every true final boss run i've ever played has involved gettiing paranormality
Paranormality is very good on heroes, who has more shield than health.
Which is, conveniently, most of them.
It also doubles any future bonuses to max shield as well.
Also conveniently, most heroes have that as ascensions.
Paranormality is one of the strongest defensive scrolls in the game and your win rate with it is understandable as it pads more mistakes for players that aren't accustomed to dodging various enemies yet.
boom tiger is the greatest thing ever
.
Ive been messign around with a bunch of builds and I was curious, what do yall think is the highest damage build in the game?
not necessarily the highest single instance of damage that can occur, but what build can produce the highest "total damage done" stat at the end of the game
Prob a monkey build of some sort imo
Super high overkill spam, or DPS farm on clone monarch
in my experience the highest damage I've gotten was with a shrieker, tiger, gradual improvement and element share with Pyrodominance III
quite the unicorn
If you are talking base game, go multiplayer and find a really high DPS build, you can ask around for one, and then just bully one of the clone monarchs (The blue versions of the final boss)
If you're talking spiritual assault, I once got 3.6 billion with some insane luck doing a bird cleave build
What's clone monarch build?
it's not a build
In multiplayer reincarnation levels, the final boss clones himself, these clones can be damaged, but they are immortal
So if you just beat the shit out of a clone while the main boss does his thing, you can theoretically rack up infinite damage
IM GOING TO SCREAM
question about spirit feline
if you pick up spirit feline and paranormality
does that mean that every hit done to you only does 1 damage
no
Total max hp is everything, not just hp
Picking Paranormality or Flesh and Bones doesn't change how Spirit Feline works
Claim: Despite unfettered will being bumped up to legendary, it's drop rate was not nerfed, and is now just a rare that can be acquired from bosses and elite gatherings
Evidence: I have gotten the damn scroll in the past 80% of my runs (not an exaggeration)
Reasoning: Because I'm getting Unfettered Will more than ANY legendary in the game, the rate must not have been nerfed
Maybe I'm hella lucky but that don't seem right
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY
A GAME THEORY
Many others claim the same.
The scroll's stats aren't even close to legendary either.
yeah
You'd need 6000 copper to equal Spirit Bible.
2% for 100 is ass
I mean, extrav consumption needs 12000
But I guess it is weapon and skill
so I give it a pass
Extravagant Consumption works on both weapon and skill, AND it works on copper you spend.
Fair fair
Optimal use you buy stuff and get free damage.
or skill builds you exist and get free damage
Weapon builds too but it's not as great bc you lose upgrade money
Just went back
Turns out I lied about the 80% of my runs thing
I got it 9 times in my last 10 runs
Get reverse-exaggerated
How do i go about building Qing Yan
Step one: obtain egg
panda too strong~
should reincarnation be easier than nightmare?
It's probably not meant to be
But it is
some of these augments are fucking insane
like the one that triggers every element on triggering a single element
fire tower literally goes brrrr
It's undeniably easier in R1 but as the reincarnation level increases it's debatable. I personally think R8 can be pretty unforgiving lots of the time but it's also not hard to make it a joke if you snipe certain blessings/get decent enough RNG in Tombs.
Still harder than Nightmare at that point tho.
Welcome to gunfire reborn, kiddo
its badass
like the gigachad dev that looked at occult scrolls and thought "you know what these need? more bonuses"
"for doing literally nothing"
Ye lmao
That dev is probably boltgun
^ (boltgun face reveal btw)
is this a god roll gauntlet
bc everyone is just deleting
and i dont even need to go into enhanced mode
All 4 of those non gemini rolls are significant damage increases, so yes. It's a good glove.
Helps it's also one of the best weapons in the game.
How could you fail? Someone was playing as Nona!
hey, does anybody have a op dog build?
Pick Atomic Bomb blessing. Pick explosion and grenade ascensions.
Win.
i really just cannot explaiin thiis
I can.
"Powercreep and no regard for balance."
also i didnt know that kunais dont trigger elemental cube
neat
im using the crap pistol to get the elemental bonus i want
so i basically get 50% bonus elemental dmg for free
how dare you insult Foundry like that
how did you know i wasnt talking about the shark
theres more swearing involved when the shark is being discussed
Also using shark implies you cary one and would use ammo.
Instead of the glorious free ammo provided by the Foundry
Which will never let you down
so the skill on cat that boosts grenade damage
does it also boost the linger damage?
or is it just on contact
Uhm achshuahlee because the Shark is a Launcher ๐ค
Skill/grenade damage increases affect each tick of the grenade, not just the first instance from what I recall.
question: if you have fire and lightning enthusiast from interdependent fortunes, do the enemies become manipulated?
My guess is no, because lightning effect and shock are different things (I think), but knowing the game devs ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Yes because it gives them both Burning and Shock, but Manipulation only applies when they spawn.
So you get 5 seconds of enemies not attacking you, and then they act normally.
thats good
unfortunately enemies do jack shit damage to each other so you can't hide behind a rock and let half of em die
but a free 5 seconds is a good 5 seconds
wb corrosion enth and lightning enth?
Does the enemy get one stage of miasma?
They do.
Also works with fire and corrosion to inflict Combustion, but I don't believe that actually does any damage. Just staggers them.
ye i remember you told me how combustion is based off of the initial hit
if the initial hit is 0 damage then they take 0 damag
the god run
that hit rate tho 
I'm joking btw I genuinely don't think I can do better with the golden bow lmao
Hey guys quick question, is spores considered weapon damage or skill damage?
Is it also considered "normal" damage, Ie. not elemental etc
I believe its weapon damage
Ye its weapon dmg
Altanna's the one who knows everything tho
Spores are considered non-elemental (normal), weapon damage.
Oh you sexy beast! Thank you!
thats quite the compliment
altanna do be quite the sexy beast though ngl
Followup question... @thorny parcel can spores crit/triger lucky shot etc? Just thinking would counterviolence work well with it or not really?
no
At least, no according to the wiki
... that altanna wrote
Oh wow, so if the offhand has an elemental effect does it trigger that too?
I know bleed doesn't trigger from bloody drill
I'm just thinking of more potential ways to bust spores haha
I could be wrong but I'm like, 90% sure thats correct
Interesting. I wonder if it triggers the spirit shot from the Argus as an offhand
No. Spores deal normal damage and don't share an element like the Element Share gemini does. Even if you're using or have an offhand elemental weapon, it'll still be normal damage.
I should probably clarify that it's actually some inscriptions.
Usually the raw damage boosts.
So I am wrong ๐ญ
I could have sworn I used porcupine as my spore weapon
and I was inflicting decay
Could've had Realm of Corrosion, Thorny Carapace or Smoke Grenade.
I dont think I did
I mean I must've
but I don't remember having anything corrosive
Or enhanced Elemental Torment. Or that ascension that gives elements to Owl's cards. Or Painkiller + another elemental effect.
Or Chromatic Magazine, or a corrosion coversion for your main weapon...
yes yes I get it
Or a corrosive ball inscription!
Or kept shooting corosive barrels ๐
Anyone know if I can transfer my steam progress to the iOS version?
My guess is no but wanted to check just in case
As far as I know thats not possible
Due to completely different systems and even down to the way things unlock / content in it
And I dont think it will be a thing in the near future
Game has no built-in cross progression or save transfer methods, and externally transferring saves is next to impossible to a locked down rotten apple like the iOS devices.

...what just happened there? Did the lag just insta-kill you both?
lagged when boss instakilled us
Lagged because you died, game had to load your death.
Especially if it was your first death/game over after starting up the game.
If you both used your revive it will insta-game over.
I hate reincarnation 8
I give penguins deadly curse and all of a sudden they're doing 100+ damage per tick
I have 200 total hp
how the FUCK do I survive (I don't have a super OP build)
Kill them before they kill you, as is GFR tradition.
I enjoy how the game's intimidating balance issues surface as soon as you're not broken by Act 3, maybe even Act 2. The game is genuinely hard if you can't kill things within 5 seconds.
Hey anyone want to play I'm on playstation
In particular I've noticed the Lone Wolf Act 3 elite squad ends most runs that can't deal enough damage.
I dont have an OP build though
its a very short range build so I can't get close unless I freeze them
I can't 1 shot and I cant stay back
so I just die
GFR is so unbalanced in favor of the player and not in favor of the player
Yep. That's what happens if you stick a +1000% over here and a +400% over there.
The moment something gets even slightly tilted, all hell breaks loose.
I know ๐ญ
the balance of the game is so fragile you could sneeze and all of a sudden you become a god, or you become an ant
Lol, that's an amazing way of describing it
Its the truth
sometimes you're dealing 10 million damage to 15 different enemies with 2 clicks
other times you're tanking LITERALLY 500 DPS AND YOUR DAMAGE OUTPUT IS NEGATIVE
its a possibility that on friday you can become a microbe instead
True
Fridays are microbe types of days
As absurd as it sounds, I wouldn't put it past the possibility that R9 lets you become slightly better than an ant instead of worse.
doesn't sound absurd
these game devs are gonna make R9 make us become, idk a frog instead of an ant
"More enemies appear and all enemies have double HP, but you can buy TWO spiritual blessings at the start. Perfectly balanced."
No wait, that's basically Lone Wolf.
Minus the HP bonus.
damnit you beat me to it
Regardless they'll probably still do that
Yep. R9 Lone Wolf gets you even more enemies (more copper and kill stacks!) and you start with 3 blessings.
And to compensate for the higher enemy HP, bosses drop 3 legendary scrolls and all peddlers have 9 item slots instead of 5.
sounds legit
And don't forget to compensate enemy damage, all players in R9 will be given a 25% damage reduction buff and suffer from elemental debuffs for less time
its fair trust
i cant find games on both steam and gamepass so I came here. is LFG the only way to coop these days?
Matchmaking does work, but it sucks.
LFG here is more reliable.
for sure. corssplay works for gamepass and steam, or is it for all platforms?
sorry that one might be in the FAQ or something
seems like the gamepass version will have more potential players since it can play with xbox version? idk i guess I'll try there
What's your timezone?
US West, its 2:30 am lol but i felt like playing a round
Crossplay with Steam and gamepass is NOT supported
Gamepass only , playstation only , steam
three separate groups
Well, that's most likely why. School's back in, it's Monday morning and some people work. It's gonna be hard to find a game at that time on that day.
The gamepass version is also severely outdated with various bugs and shows clear lack of support from the other developers working on it.
I somehow doubt that Xbox and PC Gamepass combined would have more players than Steam because of this.
I keep getting internally and silently triggered at you guys calling the Microsoft Store version "PC Gamepass", while Game Pass is Microsoft's subscription service, that has an Xbox and PC version (and also a both), and technically, you could buy the game itself without the subscription (although why would you want to)
You said it yourself though. Why would you want to buy that version of the game without using Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service? It's easier just to call it that and save the hassle.
mhh...
Alright, point taken. I guess for the reason, that people will most likely try the game out via Game Pass is the reason you guys call it like that...besides, there's unfortunately no clear official name for "Apps installed via the Universal Windows Program system", aka "UWP"...or wait, that's actually the official name, isn't it?
I'm just philosophing at this point. You may ignore me.
Also even MS themselves markets games available on Gamepass
15 more guns then I'm done with this god awful challenge 
I'm maxxed outt on steam, but my friends have it on xbox... Starting over suuuuuuucks
gamepass version also sucks
tell your friends to get steam instead of you getting xbox
you're going to notice a huge amount of bugs and a massive quality drop otherwise
got it through the microsoft store on pc
Any version that isn't steam is inferior.
As an avid Xbox fan, and with a yearly active GP subscription, i can amend to that opinion that the MS version sucks, for one particular personal major nitpick:
Achievements with Gamerscore values that are not divisible by 5.
That disgusting sight is what brought me to uninstall the MS version, and instead instabuy the game on Steam. Zero regrets.
Though Steam now has up to +150% total damage for inflicting elemental effects, and Porcupine exclusives.
Debatable if it even is anymore.
game devs said "hmmm... xbox is beating us in one department... fire share porky pine... lets one up them there too, making us officially superior in every way fathomable"
Or they are just not up to date on patches.
๐คซ
does the brick count as a pistol for example the battle pace from Nona's passives?
I think Brick is classified as a sniper.
You can see the weapon type's icon when viewing them ingame, although you'll first need to learn from the logbook which icon means which weapon type.
alright thanks
90 scrolls
one day I'll reach 100
Here comes R9
Can't wait to see what it changes
(probably very little)
ai update????
Maybe there is a big change
Remember, the AI needs enough time to act on the changes.
They can't do that when killed in 1 hit.
It doesnt seem like an AI update
more of an enemy attack update
spear throwers throw 3 spears now
horsehead shields are an actual shield instead of something that can just be bypassed
longbowmens bolts are faster
etc
and hoo boy, if you thought r8 luwu was bomber spam
its defo harder
But you can more or less play the same way you would in r8
So... what you're saying is... Longling Tomb and maybe Anxi Desert got harder, but the rest of the game is the same because enemies don't get the chance to attack.
yes
unless theres some late game difficulty change idk
I paused after stage one because dinner at 10:30 on a school night moment
What do you guys think of this pic
I mean is it good? Or bad? As a promoting pic.
Looks quite nice, if the game it's promoting has festivals.
Shows off various characters, a bit of environmental variety, and the giant moon that is about to crash into the place and destroy it.
๐ฅบ
Well I just finished my run in 54 minutes as the reworked Turtle. If 10million wasn't the damage cap it'd be well over 10 mill for a single hit instead of AoE. But I love the new changes and had a ton of fun and am really enjoying R9
Hurtle is now a skill
Yep. Realized that reflecting attacks sorta sucked, so went with just running into everyone instead.
Does Nona's mech scale off skill dmg?
Majora's mask moment
lol
honestly, I think you should take blade dodge
ok but blade dodge can give you more hp AND shield
Yes.
๐
Is the Yoruhime boss broken?
In phase 1 it did the spread shot from phase 2
and in phase 2 it just straight up stopped attacking after the shield went up the 1st time
Playing on R9
probably if ur on R9
free w
I believe the scattered artillery is intended. The boss trying to stare you down however is not.
bruh
finish killing 3 elite stalkers in one room
very next room is an elite gathering
what do you mean!? looks can kill!
"Yo, I heard you like elite stalkers, so I put some elite stalkers in with your elite stalkers!"
The one thing that might keep a Nona down.
spoiler alert, I lived
somehow
oh
and we're done here
that was hell on earth
as expected of R9
how the hell does R9 do that?
just double elites in elite gatherings?
I had lone wolf on at 4 players
but even with all the LW runs I've done, never seen more than 3 at once
Yooo I swear I saw someone post this month that this update would include new blessings for characters, like Li and Lei Luo
What happened?
They can make Turtle pay my taxes and cure my depression and I still wouldn't play that MF
this
this isn't real, altanna is making fun of the way the devs tend to add completely overpowered bs to the game for no reason
Oh my god that's so fun and awesome
Nothing makes me more excited and happy than being mislead by fake patch notes!
๐
fake patch notes =/= joke
I'm sorry?
How is funny fake patch notes =/= joke?
You just hurt this poor man's feelings.
Bruh could have just looked at them from the game's page.
You're right. I kinda just said something random lol
regardless theres no way someone just left over a joke from over a week ago
also, I didn't hurt their feelings at all
I told them the truth about a joke
if they decide to get butthurt over it, so be it
yeah this update didnt seem like a full blown update
they reworked turtle and gave us r9
and some "task master"
lemme look at the PN
R9, New bizarre dream, interdependant fortune scroll update, gluttony in 4-3, more rooms for act 2 and 4, qian sui rework, and some changes to scrolls and weapons
also buff to 1 monkey ascension
They also added Gluttony to regular games
Devs did that to bird too
Gluttony in 4-3
I need to test turtle, he was my melee character.
man
Wish hostile gift wasn't removed.
overconsumption is really really poorly designed
are you complaining about how OP it is?
Poorly designed as in op
its just a flat upgrade
ye, welcome to gunfire reborn
like there's no downside
ummm
ackshually it costs soul essence
which is a downside
and it takes a blessing slot

you're talking about that stuff that they shove up your ass for breathing in a room where enemies are
Granted, a lot of blessings don't have a downside
painkiller is also poorly designed
yep
but at least that one wasnt conceived to have a downside
It wasn't great before the buff but when they reworked it it went from shitty to so OP its probably one of the top 5
id rather overconsumption have no downside than have one that doesnt do anything meaniingful
what was that final fantasy tactics quote
yeah I know, there's not really a downside to having it
it applies perfectly to overconsumption
soul essence doesn't matter at all and its a good blessing to use a slot on
Sounds about right
but even the "lower class" in gfr don't struggle with soul essence
you can just grind out enough in like, the first 3 stages of act 1 to have enough to buy any blessing
then just reset the starting room until you get whatever blessing you want first try
then use that blessing to get more and more essence so you can afford blessings in 2-0, 3-0, and 4-0
So
Do we all think
The
Turtle is bad now?
Cause my friend is getting really mad now
upgrading your weapon level after 10 is pointless right
ehhh its a free extra bit of damage
haven't tried him with new patch
the smoke grenade perk for cat is deceptive as fuck
boosting tick damage as well as detonation damage is crazy
Just kill them as they spawn. 
I tried
also, corrupt monks no longer summon exploding lantern spirits (in r9 at least)
instead they summon pyro lantern spirits
not as bad as getting 3+ wheres waldos in jokul
Game looks dope
it is dope
Have fun! Game starts a lil bit difficult but it gets easier dw
almost a little... too easy
i've heard the deeper you get
it gets harder too
and whichever char you pick matters too
not really
All characters are strong in certain ways
Some are stronger in more ways than others
but they all have big damage potential
the deeper you get, the harder it gets
Ahh ok, that makes sense
Yeah that makes sense
The Artisian seems like a char i might main towards da future
I won't know tho till i start playing more
Finally found an alternative game to play besides terraria ๐
amen lmao
almost got it on ps5/ ima just do steam
also IT RUNS 60FPS ON MY LAPTOP NO LAG HOLY
im not
good man
i'll leave ps5 to the exclusive
sheesh
said company does not seem to give a shit about their version of the game
Thats tough
Also
I seen that the translation
wasn't that good like a year ago
but its better now
Yeah
You can still understand a lot of things just fine
But some things are worded a bit strangely
and some things COUGH COUGH OWL COUGH COUGH have a lot of text explaining what they do
exactly
legit
i saw that
like you gotta have cards
be the same
for certain boosts
yeah
and comboinations do certaion things etc etc
someone said "you gotta have 3 master degrees to even understand this char" LMAO
It's not too hard to grasp
but yeah
when you first see the character
you need like 5/20 vision to see the text
because its so small
because theres so much
ye
would you recommend all the dlc?
cause they have a deal
all the dlc and the game 22 bucks
artisian 1 of the new ones?
but you have some time till the deal wears off
so I say play the game a bit, see how you like the characters, and snag the dlc if you like it
new one is artisan
it dropped ~3 months ago
aight bet, w advice
i was gonna get this game a year and a half ago but every1 kept saying "beta this beta that"
yeah it came out of beta last year
it was still good in beta though
veri fun
yeee
welp ima get it lets gooooooooo
have fun
time to no life
thx, hopefully can't wait to get to yur level
๐๐ฟ
thx for tips
no problem
but you might wanna try to get to altannas level
He's the main wiki editor and knows seemingly everything about the game
good luck
play 1 then the other
Sweet r9 sounds cool
And we can finally try gluttony since the game made he was in was broken in VR
Ehh
Another fat guy to take down
It adds a bit of difficulty to the first stage or two
Not a fan?
The game isnt hard enough
Still same OP everything dies 1 shot the end
yep
Our favorite !
Its not that the game itself is hard
its that the characters are too strong
So while r9 adds some cool new mechanics, in the end you 1 shot everything and don't really get to experience them
Truthfully we never minded having the option to go full cheese with rainbow and spores, it got us to the end, then we started just learning the builds, didnโt need rainbow spores, but man once the painkiller update came out
That really sucked the fun out of the game lol
Yeah
That to me was the god mode update haha
breathing on enemies to kill em is only fun for so long lol
I have tried the red panda yet, wife plays as her I was using owl for a while
Owl is mega power
Not sure on red panda, by the last stage owl just cleaned house
Self imposed challenges are either too easy or, as a wise man once said: grinding yourself against a brick wall
Red panda is pretty strong too
Theres literally an AFK build on the wiki for reincarnation levels
Haha nice
because the mech takes aggro and theres a blessing that makes it immortal as long as nona is alive
Mech takes aggro off of nona -> nona doesn't die -> mech doesn't die -> mech slowly kills everything
Mmm. I greatly enjoyed swords out for too long. Really felt like you โearnedโ infinite powerful swords for whatever reason
Less effective in multiplayer
Yesss
AFK panda doesnโt sound fun
Swords out spam build is awesome
Ye
Yeah, it holds up truthfully
No idea what q is
Oh sorry
But Iโm assuming thatโs the blossom
it fires a missile
โLeft gripโ is the secondary skill I believe for us haha
the bot has a "shoulder cannon" which is OP and loses cooldown for every rocket nona fires
Nona gains rockets back for every rocket the shoulder cannon fires (which is a lot)
So the bot and nona are just constantly keeping each other firing
Thatโs pretty cool actually
Maybe we will get to play tonight if we finish our valheim session haha
I could never get into val lol
But saw this game had an update and had to see what the community thoughts were
I played for a few hours with my dad and some friends and I just couldn't bring myself to like it
Ah, itโs a 10, a true 10, takes a bit to get used to it, but it becomes pretty special
How far did you guys get?
Hmm
Not sure how far they got because I kinda stopped playing after like, 3 hours
but I got to the first boss
Something something kill two deer
Yeah haha the building in that game is really awesome
We had a cool house
But I think something destroyed it
idk it was years ago
maybe one day I'll hop back in and love it
Odin anticipates your return and embraces it
SPOILERS!!1!11!!11!
Haha Odin has always been there, no spoilers
Haha all good
aight peak game managed to get to that sand worm boss
W
Lazer joint came outta no where ToT
Morning lads
I can't seem to be able to talk on the Steam area even though I have the role so here I am
mornin
timezone moment
I havent played for a while and I feel like I suck lmao
Can anyone explain the owl character to me, my brain got scrambled trying to understand how its abilities work
Is is that complex
Ehhh
I probably haven't put enough time into looking at them
Basically
using the secondary skill gets you "astroaspects" (Colored occult scroll looking icons) that go into boxes at the bottom of the screen
Theres 4 astroaspects: Blue, purple, orange, and red, for occult scroll rarities
Do occult scrolls that you get matter in which kind of astroaspects you're getting?
I believe so yes
and the further you are into the game too
so act 4 is higher chance than act 1, etc
so astroaspects affect the primary ability
The more you have, the higher the chance of getting an astrohouse (primary ability) of a certain "rarity"
orange is best, purple second best, etc
So you need to have all 3 aspects of the same "rarity" for that to happen
yes
BUT
it can also be a chance
So you can get a legendary astrohouse with 2 astroaspects
but its not guaranteed
The chance also goes up the farther you get
so act 1 with 2 legendary astroaspects has, idk a 10% chance of getting a legendary astrohouse, but act 2 is more like a 60%
you can see the estimate at the bottom, the multicolored bar shows you your chance of getting different astrohouses
red astroaspects serve as wild cards, they will fit any color, unless they are on their own, then they become legendary
Ex: 1 blue, two red = blue astrohouse, 3 red = orange astrohouse
And you can get more slots for astrohouse, up to 6, through ascensions
Did I do ok explaining?
ye I getcha
Most people don't even care about that tho, because the owl secondary build is super strong
Hm, so basically spam Q
yes
if you try it, prioritize card printer and under control
more cards = more damag
Also, I only had spiritual link and jokul when I entered hiatus, tried to read through them a bit but it's a bit tough to get it. What I understood is that Lone wolf raises the difficulty as if two players were on but gives you a free "boon" ( I don't remember the bonus' name )
free spiritual blessing
ye it raises enemy and elite count in "elite gatherings" as if you were in a 2 player match, up to 4 players
it doesnt raise enemy health or damage
Ah good, so only the amount of enemies
ye
endless assault or skill freak if you can help it
Explosive hand should be your first blessing
From lone wolf I mean
ah
I usually take ultimate gambler for better RNG, but its really up to you
some people do overconsumption, some do skill freak, endless assault, etc
lemme see if I can explain the other bizarre dreams
iirc desert was the 2nd biome
yes
Not sure if this is worth taking to be fair
Mission From Above:
Adds a "taskmaster" who gives you challenges throughout your runs. They're along the lines of "you get a buff but something else gets a nerf," such as + crit damage but - non crit damage
Interdependent Fortunes:
You can pick 1 of 3 scrolls, 4 separate times per act, not including act 1. Enemies will randomly get affected by occult scrolls. Ex: If you take paranormality, you get double shield and 1 hp, and enemies also get double shield and 1 hp.
Transcendant Arsenal
In the vaults on 3-3 and 4-2, an "arsenal guard" replaces the end chest. You can deposit/withdraw any weapons you have/have put into the guard in past runs.
Ascension Fusion:
On 1-5 (the first boss stage) you get a choice of 6 ascensions from other heroes (Some cannot be obtained, like perks from dog dual wielding, because other characters can't dual wield.) You can pick up to 2 of these 6
I think you got the rest
That one is just gambling lol
high risk, high reward kinda
Gotcha
Night
This is very good for early-game. It ensures you're already powerful enough to not easily die from the first few scenes, and also, if you keep it until Hyperborean Jokul, you can choose from 2 ascensions, instead of the act's forced 1 ascension.
That's actually not that good for early game.
It's better mid-late game.
You're just reducing your odds of getting an useful ascension if you take it early.
It's complicated.
Early game you can get more ascensions faster, but if you're unlucky you're just reducing your options for good ones. If you're lucky and get good extra ascensions, it becomes purely a downside later on in act 2 and 3 as you have less options.
Mid-late game just gets you extra ascensions at a point where getting unlucky doesn't matter as much, and it doesn't screw up your future as much because there is less future to screw up.
I always take it when i see it, cause my monkey neural activation brain says "More power!"
whats good spirit concentration on qian sui?
what's the chance to get pole monarch or gluttony in reincarnation? I'm trying to get the frame for Zi Xiao but so far I've only gotten gluttony every time I made it there.
Likely 50/50.
so I'm just getting very unlucky then haha
Arent bosses included in the pity system ?
First win after being back from Hiatus. At one point I didnt even have to cast secondary anymore, it just.. shot.
Infinite cards!
i have a doubt can we resume save with coop on mobile?
Nope
thanks
we out here throwing entire wikis at enemies
wikis? Try dictionaries
and thesauruses
and encyclopedias
and other big books
Is spore Tao still the most destructive thing there is?
One of the most destructive, yes.
Doubt there is a most destructive though, since RNG is always a factor that messes with finding out.
Gotcha
Also, is there a reason to get the elemental combo gemini now that you can just start with painkiller and inflict all elements at once?
Yes.
In case you don't start with Painkiller.
Also higher effect chance from the combination helps with Combustion and Miasma fusions.
Whats a better spore weapon other than that illusion? Can't really remember
๐คฆ gotcha
just had a normal difficulty run where i got teleported to chaos realm instead of the snow boss?
yes
oh ok
Best starting blessing for Tao?
I've defeated gluttony a couple times in reincarnation but still haven't gotten the achievement for defeating him for the first time, can I only get it in a different difficulty?
Well, gluttony was originally a SA boss.
Maybe you have to beat him there instead.
They probably didn't update the requirements for the achievement by letting it be done in the main campaign.
Similar to how they didn't update other achievements requiring you to beat the 4th act, by defeating Pole Monarch OR Gluttony.
is it just me or is qian sui's weapon build way, way less interesting to play and build than it was before?
That's because he has no ascensions for exclusively firing weapons anymore.
thats so sad to me, it was one of my favorite builds in the game
i tried the aspis retraction build, it seemd fine but sort of... dull...
You can still use weapons for your build, but it'll be about slapping people with the Aspis's final slam rather than firing them.
especially when you consider its already so similar to the punch playstyle in gameplay
i get it though, the aspis build before was sorta just... nonexistant
just sad it had to come at the expense of shooty build
Definitely wasn't non-existent, actually.
there were some things for it but i dont remember it being particularly good on r8
Sure Hostile Gift was kinda useless, but you could still use the full power of your weapon, like effects that trigger crits, lucky shots and even elemental effects.
i read on the wiki that r9 doesnt scale the health any higher can anyone vouch for that? dunno if i'm just rusty or something else
the patch notes does say that R9 doesn't increase enemy health.
thank you
And in-game boss health bars can confirm it too.
It only offers buffed attacks for normal enemies and bosses.
(Conveniently you can skip dealing with the R9 buff if you kill every enemy instantly, like you probably will anyway.)
I specifically lament the removal of "Formidable Aspis" and "Hostile Gift", those were what made his gun build unique and exciting to me
I can't really understand why they didnt attempt to preserve those sorts of effects at all
Only thing I can think of is they saw everyone flicking the Aspis and just decided to make the Aspis flicking itself be the focus.
The real r9:
Point blank and glazed barrier events are always on
In addition to your normally scheduled room event haha
Don't forget second wind.
and more elites
Did I hear "more loot and Elite Assassin stacks"?
Old Field Proficinecy would've loved this ๐ฉ
yes you did
The skill cooldown would've dropped so low the game would overflow the effect and make primary skills and dashes take years to recharge.
it seems the majority of stages in R9 after 1-5 have an elite invasion and sometimes 2 elites come out of the purple mist
Imagine if they both happened in the same room.
It would change literally nothing. ๐ฉ
it was
sorry in 4-1 final room
I got a thunderous stalker for my R9 elite invasion and then another for my mysterious jokul elite invasion
every room becomes an elite evasion
what do u guys think is the best character in gunfire?
bro chose all the girls
Depends on a LOT of factors
they're the only 3 that I really play often, with a bit of Crown Prince on the side
I wonder why 
He didn't specify which characters so Imma say Dark-face bandit. 
Depends on a LOT of factors
idk how the turtle is now, but imo at r8/r9 all characters are very overpowered, just that some are a bit more consistently op than others
Well Iโm pretty bad so any recommendations?
Honestly, not really
Characters are built differently
๐ฆ
I dont have any specific recommendations
but I can help you find a character you like
There's characters for melee, snipers, elements, smg/rifles, etc
Saw a lot of people using her? I saved up for it
Ah, speedruns?
She specializes in fast firing weapons
Is her ability good?
Yeah
It summons swords that launch at your cursor
and you can gain "stacks" for even more swords
Yeah I played her but she rly didnโt do much damage.
Oh yeah Iโm only level like 15๐
Just started
yeah
You just need to slowly work your way up for now
you'll get to big, crazy builds later down the line
My highest run is like over halfway through the sand part
that sounds reasonable for lvl 15
nobody expects you to be king after just starting
I liked the robot girl thing
Nona is pretty strong
I'm curious as to where you're seeing people use the characters
it depends
if I want to mess around with shotguns, pistols, or swords, I go monkey
Injectors, smgs, or rifles, I go bunny
Snipers: tiger
If I want to mess around with primary skills, Tiger or fox
secondary skills, I go dog or owl
how so?
Do I press q to activate
yes
Ah
So in Reincarnation, which is the last difficulty
There are "blessings" (powerups you can buy for soul essence)
And a lot of the blessings are ridiculously strong
they last for one game
but you can buy a new one every game
Only one per game
O
The fox has a blessing that can boost her primary skill damage by up to 450%
Dog has a blessing where he has a chance to throw all of his grenades for the price of 0 charges
and the grenades do more and more damage the more there are
cat can fire 3 orbs, etc
Omg
ye
So your skills may not seem great earlygame, but lategame you can create builds that do millions (potentially billions) of damage
Yeah
The requirements are literally in the same place you find Strive to Survive in the first place.
Which is? It just told me I have 1 out of the three needed
Got the game two days ago still figuring it out sorry
I see, you're not actually checking your spiritual links, just seeing it appear on certain scrolls.
Next time you can check what you need for certain links by pressing the Spiritual Links button in your inventory, but here's what you need specifically for Strive to Survive:
Submachine Gun is required.
Oh it's only submachine gun. Damn ok thanks
Any good way to do infinite up time on aura of venom? Bin playing alot of Nona and trying to stick to pistols
I mean one way is to get against the flow and gemini mag share a hippo or gauntlet to it
80-200+ ammo in magazine possible that way
bloody ammo by itself works too, i think? in exchange for not having health lmao
But I like having health! ๐ญ
otherwise, high mag cap + some form of infini-ammo. like cryorus described, mag share gemini + against the flow.
What are some other good pistol options? I've bin using sunder when I get it with the perk that makes crits make fireballs and that seems to put in work
I'm always competing for top DPS with my friend who plays Li. Need some guidance.
i have no clue. i usually prefer the weapons i find fun instead. for pistols, sunder and star ring is definitely up there for me.
Star ring is alot of fun solo but in team play I don't like it as much.
Also maybe I haven't getting the right inscription to make it really good.
@thorny parcel is there any way to control what scrolls you get? Iโm new and have heard a lot about scrolls but I seem to just get random ones after completing quests like kill 100 long bowman any elimination
Explanation
(You seem to know a lot so I thought I might ask you)
There are a small amount of ways to reroll scrolls you're offered, but besides that no.
You hold them until you die, win or any unique mechanic they have breaks them.
You find them elsewhere.
Where?
Chests, peddlers (with the Big Box talent), defeating bosses.
(Sorry about the late reply I was watching a speed run๐)
They help with it, but aren't the sole reason.
thats just unlocking them so you can get them later
:0
What else helps?
Ascensions, weapons (and their inscriptions), spiritual blessings, the hero you play as and the enemy you're hitting.
I hope I understand all that in the future ๐๐ญ
What are inscriptions๐ญ
First time playing a roguelike/lite ?
The stuff in weapons
those are inscriptions
Does hades or until you fall count?
Iโm good at hades but I played it on Xbox not pc
How to get?
they're automatically rolled on any gun that drops. You can get more by going through the talent tree and upgrading specific talents
you dont normally
Weapons have em by default.
The green, blue, orange and purple/grey text are inscriptions.
On weapons.
Do the same weapons have the same inscriptions or is it random
Ah
A talent lets you add a new inscription to a weapon once per weapon as well
Really I would suggest just trying to do a few runs , right now most answers with "but xxxx" are way later in the game and not of concern when starting the game
Yea
Iโm kinda stuck on the sand part
The sniper bandit deer things kill me
I donโt remember their names
I only have the starter price the dlc guys and the bunny cause I heard sheโs good
Wouldn't feel bad about that--the desert is imo the hardest act especially for newcomers. Many of the regular enemies are threatening.
Over time you'll learn how to approach each room better, but generally speaking for those snipers you want to side strafe. You can also play behind cover if available. Prioritize certain targets like arsonists [flamethrower guys].
If an arsonist gets too close you can hug up real close to them and circle their body as a last ditch effort defense. Usually works. The snipers are much easier to dodge with some move speed increases. So if you find a scroll or ascension in Tombs that offers that it might be worth considering.
Thank u
What boss is harder the sand snake or the wind god?
Many people say Wind God, because the tornadoes keep chasing them.
Yeah the snake wasnโt that bad
@thorny parcel Any characters good with bows?
I like bows but I donโt know who would be good
@proud needle โ๏ธ
- Bows are snipers. Lei Luo is good with snipers.
- Don't keep pinging staff like that, it's unnecessary.
This is not meant bad, just that everyone can help with such questions
Our regulars and some other community members are more than eager to help
Technically we both are, but seriously though, you don't have to ping people for questions anyone can answer.
how do I do the Blue Wave frame in the best way?
Before I answer that question I want to test something real quick.
Lol. That's so pathetically hilarious.
Step 1: Play on Reincarnation.
Step 2: Enable Lone Wolf and choose Overconsumption.
Step 3: Pick Power of the Ocean from the Spiritual Remnant.
Step 4: Dash around the room for a bit, you don't even need to activate Tidal Aspis for Hurtle.
Step 5: Punch when you reach a result like this:
Bam, you get the frame in the first room, then can refund the soul essence spent by quitting.
What
old man voice
In my days we had to get a ton of ascensions , movement speed and fight for this damn thing
bruh
Oh and that result also didn't need any punching to extend the Power of the Ocean buff either.
It was just dashing.
Nona a w
how do I message in the steam thread?
clyde just tells me "Your message could not be delivered"
My best guess is it's hit maximum capacity for people in forums
hey <@&718224526340653077> we might need to reset #1055550986292297838
on it
why is there even a limit?
blame discord
discord being discord
Discord has an arbitrary 1k limit on those forum channels
I do wish there would be just one general gunfire channel on this server and then the forums for the different platforms
This is the general gunfire channel
it hasnt hit the 1k yet tho
we still have like, 500 spaces
yeah, but it is a forum too, no?
yeah, thats what I mean
Holy shit
I think I have done the impossible
@thorny parcel I may have managed to make the F-word a good gun
I'm the first man ever to make the ping pong ball launcher a good weapon
One of the bouncy balls did 900k damage
I remember randomly stumbling into a twitch stream about a week or so ago, who tried doing Frenzied Shark only Ao Bai challenge, but kept struggling not getting anything good to boost damage.
I forgot who that was, sorry.
he was struggling
I was not
but i did 6mil with that

The point of the above was that i was trying to ask the community if someone matches the description i said, and since you clearly said you weren't struggling, we can decipher it wasn't you i watched 1 or 2 weeks ago on twitch.
R1.
Also, most other weapons and skills can do 900k in their sleep. Or at the very least half that in a fraction of the time.
รกhright. The stream i watched it on was at R8, so now i can definitely can confirm it wasn't Nodaddy i watched.
Don't care. Frenzied shark is ass. I made it work
(I know its not as big a feat)
just me who thinks its weird that its cheaper to buy the game and the dlc seperate than the bundle
It's not cheaper though. The bundle will save you like $2.
no not with the sale i mean
see
It's....the same price.
Gunfire Reborn + Visitors of Spirit Realm + Artisan and Magician = 20.58
Bundle = 18.52
Effective cost when buying the bundle instead of everything: 90%
hmm i was confused a bit i thought the bundle only gave the visitors of spirit realm dlc but it gives both
Will Xbox/console be getting new heroโs soon or are we not getting any of the dlcs?
probably not
the console/pc gamepass port is made by 505 games, who are notorious for not updating games (including gfr)
Thatโs lame as
They've confirmed it'll happen eventually but my guess is mid 2024 at best
So itโs a similar situation as risk of rain 2
or other games
is there a way to prevent myself from being the host ?
can i transfer my data from xbox game pass to steam?
Yes, there's a way floating around somewhere.
.........
yo question
i bought the bundle
and it gave all the dlcs
will it give me future dlcs too or do will i need to buy them seperatly?
most likely the latter. this ain't a season pass thing that all the recent games are doing lmao.
Did it say it will give you all future DLC in the bundle description?
Its no season bundle
and thats no thing here
So no , each purchase is separate
the bundle is just all current at once at discount
thats all
does gunfire still get non-dlc updates, i think it does but im not sure
bro it just got a non dlc update
its last non dlc update was june and before june it was like, july 2022
ok thanks, and sorry for me not keeping up with stuffstuff
do you have to polar monarch for complete reincarnation
or can you leave after duo fjord
we beat snake but not have time for polar monarch
act 4 is optional
you can unlock the next difficulty if you leave through the portal at the end of act 3.
Nona is cute 
(btw, whoever is making/handling the emotes, there's no Zi Xiao and Nona pet emotes, and for the latter, there needs to be one, cause Nona needs to be petted!)

Never seen this bot before.
Does this bot show up, when it detects someone asking a question they should know the answer for, deletes the original message for clearing clutter, then posts this response?
...or am i just overthinking it, and it just casually reminds us of the existence of LFG on a timer?
Someone wanted to post lfg stuff here
We have said it countless times so no more Mr Nice guy
posts are just deleted
รกh, and did the bot automatically respond, or does a mod manually trigger the reminder?
