You don't need room clear. You can instead flex on everyone with your higher damage numbers while getting annihilated by the swarm.
Can’t tiger do a skill damage run?
how play tiger??
tiger has one of the most op skill builds in the game
and is also the god of one hit snipe shots
Thunder & Glory.
how do i get to that point
i jus get overwhwlmed early
dkesnt happen to me with any other character
you need to get magical resupply early
so you can just go from one hitting enemy to enemy
or go thunder and glory
how do i build thinder nd glory
Get all the thunderbolt stuff.
That includes Gifted Man talent choice as well.
Either the thunderbolt when chain lightning hits 1 enemy, or 50% chain lightning shock chance.
Because Bolt From the Blue also causes thunderbolts when your shock enemies.
Insane spore build i just got, finally decided to get the complete reincarnation without a spiritual blessing.
24 minutes too
Can't go wrong with crit Pupil Tiger.
what type of weapon is cloud weaver?
pistol
ty, interesting place to put it
now thats alotta BALLS
Not an SMG, RoF is too low.
Not a Shotgun, projectile count is too low.
Not a Sniper, its effective range is too low, and it's not precise enough.
Not a Launcher, doesn't trigger AoE effects as its main form of damage.
Not an injector, doesn't project sprays or beams of energy.
Not a melee weapon, uses projectiles as its main form of damage.
Only options it had were Rifle (its RoF is low but not too low) or Pistol (average stats).
Huh
What? You've never used Pupil with Tiger?
I use it with turtle for extra dmg
why is discord ping default 😞 my b for ping
reply by default will ping. if you hold shift and click reply, it'll turn off the ping for you for that reply.
ty
hexagon is broken lmao
lightning ball sunder + Lei Luo = flash bangs
how the fuck is bunny and fox letting cat out dmg them
unless they were feeding you
Doesn't look like they were feeding them.
Isn't that the same old (as SA) UI bug that locks the mode to SA until the game is restarted?
I forgot how exactly I'd done it, but entering/exiting menus fast or through other means probably causes it
Everyone was doing experimental builds
And someone gave paranormality to the enemies so no one really did any damage
Fox was running meteors, bunny was running fatal bloom, I was doing bolt from the blue and cat was doing cat things
surprised no one did a spiritual assault jade / tetris puzzle tier list, some of these effects look strong but not much info about them
the new spirit assault map is pretty nice
i like the new map. really looking forward to the tombs being added
Tombs is gonna be hell I bet you
I'm excited for ice area
Imagine 4 player final elite swarm
The mandrills
lol sprit feline and buffer shield makes u invincible
how do i crit with a sword
playing sword turtle and i got offered penetration bullet
help
Which in turn makes the game incredibly boring
Swords can't naturally crit. Another way to help you crit would work. There's a spiritual link which gives you a crit chance when in the air or there is deadly counter where you crit after taking damage
and a blessing now I believe?
cooldown reduction jades = utterly broken
chromatic mag = lmao
X type weapon drop on levels = handy to force enable specific builds
+3 to weapon drop levels, + exclusives = guarantees early geminis
you really don't need more to destroy SA entirely
all of the above are stupid to some extend
anyone got tao build for reincarnation
yes also this. 50% chance for weapon damage to crit
spore blossom enthusiast poison gloves is what i did
im using tao rainbow spore to quickly speedrun so i can get the achievements in every level lol
spores is too op on her
spores is too op in general
spore just kinda fall dramatically behind heavy blessing-focused builds in r8
it'll still clear in autopilot, but it won't delete anything in the general direction you're looking at instantly
Hey I’ve been playing the Xbox version of gunfire reborn on of akd whilst it’s great fun it’s horrible in terms of crashes and bugs, not saving settings etc
Is the steam version any better? As I’m planning on purchasing it
There's alot more steam players anyway
And I'm pretty sure it gets content first
Besides PC games are just better anyway >:)
Ye that’s what I thought
It's like the only place that gets content
Also as a complete noob what’s the best way to farm up soul essence as fast as possible?
Just beat normal then farm elite??
It's like the only place that gets content
It's like the only place that gets content
try to get to reincarnation as fast as you can
in reincarnation one id get hella soul essence whe i first got there
by just completing longling tomb
A full reincarnation 1 run gives you like 1300 souls
Aight thanks. Might take me some time@but I’ll defo get there
If you ever wanna play with people just hop into the team VCS or use the #1064937664870101033 to get a group to do reincarnation with you
ever since i got to r8 i cant win a damn game
ive lost all my essence
game is so hard
ima just start going overconsumption
every run
But how you said you have no essence 
Hey very important question, do you unlock reincarnation levels after "beating" the game (aka finish Stage 3 and go back to inn?)
or beat the game fully
like
Im at Reincarnation 7 and just beat abyssal but if I go to inn do I get 8?
Any victory on that difficulty counts.
sweet
:D
Congrat
Congrats, you earned more soul essence.
And missed shot several Kung Fu Monkies
those fuckers dont stand still. i dont think ive ever managed to get a headshot on them
They settle down when they're about to smack you in the face.
If where talking bird which build does most damage ? I failed the fourth boss since my damage was to low on my Leap build
Probably Leap build. Or some lucky weapon you found along the way.
That's why I can't stand playing Li. At least Lei Luo has the speed to dodge hits, Li feels like "get flame talisman or tie in tombs"
Chain Lightning is a good Lei Luo build if you aren't good at playing snipers but want to play Tiger
You also don't have to use just snipers
Gradual improvement actually works better with non-snipers
Granted that build still relies on certain sniper fundamentals depending on your weapon of choice
Eh, given how Li is more cannon than glass, it's probably more like "someone is going to die in 1 hit, we just need to figure out who".
True, I'm just uncomfortable playing the character so it usually ends up being me lmao. I'm sure if I practiced her more I'd feel different but I don't enjoy her playstyle
Her playstyle is literally "kill everything before they kill you".
And she's very good at it.
I will say I find Cataclysm or whatever the meteor blessing is to be profoundly funny. And it's even funnier that raining literal armageddon and hellfire from the sky isn't even the most optimal choice because the character is that cracked
Can't go wrong with combustion ghost.
damn that's weird, is it cursed?
if you have a cursed scroll, and you pick it from the bizarre dream modifier that lets you pick scrolls that affect you and enemies
this happenes
lol
so this is what a cursed scroll looks like
btw, is there some place here where we can find builds for each characters?
also, it doesnt show a preview when it's dropped
the wiki
aight thx
looks kinda sick tho
i feel like im on game pass
I got that too
it's only available with the new modifier?
Wait, you've never dropped a cursed scroll with enhanced evil-banishing talisman?
nope
Most lucky curiosity box
Looks pretty lucky. Now you can spend even more copper to boost Extravagant Consumption!
Enhanced curiosity is shit imma be honest. The fact that it can be just as bad as the regular and a chance to be better is stupid
It should remove the curse scroll thing at least
At least it's not as bad as Enhanced Effective Split can be.
25% of the time it's just regular Effective Split.
And that's assuming that you want both scrolls.
Cuz you can't drop them if you don't, even if they are enhanced.
I'm scared of effective split cause ancient timer ruins alot of my skill builds
But I still take it anyway
It's only screwed me over once every 20 ish times I take it

new highest dmg 😄
Well played
It and effective split are very odd, it's very high variance and has some risk to it, but the potential rewards are so great that I always find myself taking them
Curiosity box I think is actually quite a bit better in R8 than effective split, enhanced or not
You're pretty unlikely to get a curse that screws you in a big way and still have a decent chance to encounter curse removal if you do
And the unnecessary or actively detrimental regular scrolls of curiosity are discardable
Whereas you could absolutely get stuck with something like flesh and bones or resolute on Lei Luo if you go for split
Yeah true. I just think they're not good enhanced enough some scrolls remove like the complete negative and buff it and others are just shockingly average
Im just curious, when is the second dlc coming out? Im asking because in the first one it said what season, but now it doesnt.
I mean I kind of like it honestly
It's decidedly better due to higher highs, but it retains it's risk vs reward identity
And the lows aren't lower
I like it better than the scrolls that remove their own identity by removing all drawbacks in terms of game design
I'm a gambling man
all we know is quarter 2, so within ~86 days
(:
Thank you
Hi guys, if I buy gunfire to my phone, is it's going to be the same account as my steam one or a totally new one?
new savefile
someone wants to play? southamerica (spanish)
How is monkey performing i kinda want mess around with it?
I have a question for reincarnation lone wolf what do player 2/3/4 mean?
the amount of enemies is equal to if you had that many players
higher number means more enemies
You know it 💪
Thank you!
Quick question, I've got total mastery from the monkey. What does the second part of it mean?
The bonuses are shared with both of your weapons.
For example, an SMG (+25% magazine capacity) and a Launcher (-25% reload time) would result in both weapons having +75% magazine capacity and -75% reload time.
Ah, nice
Monkey is pretty average across the board
But certain soul strike setups can be extremely powerful
Yeah monkey is more fun than busted
Got a lot of ways to build him because he’s so weapon-centric
Anything he does that's busted needs you to work for it.
Like First Strike and getting a really high magazine.
I've been mostly using the Essence Chain builds on him 😂 its so fun spamming Q and hordes of mobs just die instantly
I like watching the shadow clones fight for me.
Sounds like SA monke high on cdr jades to me
when you're not sure if you should give clones spores, combustion or else- but it all destroys anyway
Overconsumption + Dimensional Strike also works.
this character is stupid lol
you can 1 shot every boss with the right build which is not hard to do
but it's so fun to do so >:)
Should i even bother with tiger if im not good with snipers?
He feels insanely frail
Maybe i should give up getting up Reincarnation solo ive been at Elite for days?
Tiger is insanely frail. His advantage for not dying is high movement speed, being at a long distance from enemies while having no disadvantage himself, and automatically striking anything that gets too close.
Wierd to say for me since first chara i maxed was Fox
Turtle i havent unlocked yet
Fox and Bunny look pretty bonkers damage output wise
Fox doesn't have as much of an issue with being frail.
She's a glass cannon, but more cannon than glass.
Glass doesn't matter if you cannon everything before they can shoot.
You cant die if everything else is dead in one button presss. But i like weapon and Q builds on Fox.
I wonder why Laserhand is a good weapon for bunny?
Reminds me i havent messed around with Dog yet
have some luck with rng, pick up a mortar, win game
jokes aside dog has very broken options, some even boring enough to make people leave a lobby on sight
atomic blessing on start? peace out
He's good even without snipers
@sour night
Bolt from the blue primary thunder nemesis spam is good
Or high powered arc chain lighting also shreds
Hello, I was doing a run yesterday with monkey and my highest damage was 15 million but I am pretty sure I was doing way more. Any idea why it was only 15 million ?
highest dmg dealt or total damage?
@wary current Highest single shot damage dealt is soft capped at 10m
Although you can hit very far above that number under certain conditions
If only this game had a test mode I could figure them out better
is it possible to change my name in the game? for some reason i came back after not playing for a year and my name has a bunch of asterisks in it now
Is it not linked to your steam name?
uh this isnt my steam name
censor
It's likely your steam name but has been censored
my steam name is jonathanvu675
idk why thatd be censored
to change it do i just change my steam name?
You're telling me I can't use the magic sentence spell as name in a non chinese build?
Dunno if I should ask this here or in #wiki-discussion , but the wiki say offhand lightning effects combustion damage- thaaaat’s not right, is it??
I'm thinking this is because the gemini share with Lightning offhand gives the primary weapon effective damage bonus against shields, which would raise the damage of the initial hit that triggers combustion therefore raising the combustion damage as well. So it' true.
Basically the wiki is suggesting you'll do more combustion damage against shields if your offhand gemini is
, but of course that also means you'll have to apply
and
without gemini reliance.
For some reason, element share gemini allowed the offhand weapon's element to affect stuff like Combustion (and Shock, before it got completely screwed over).
Back before Combustion got updated, it had no inherent element, so any element the offhand had would be transferred over to Combustion, increasing/decreasing damage accordingly.
Now though Combustion is always Fire/Corrosion elemental. This means that if your offhand is Lightning, that element will still transfer over but you keep what it already had, resulting in Combustion being Fire/Lightning/Corrosion elemental.
how does one hit 30 mil in one hit most ive done is 24
By becoming OP.
That's . . . odd, but t'is the way of the game- makes sense
ive been trying to break my one hit record for a while now but it seems impossible
I'd recommend Fire Tower monkey but they removed the killswap gemini, damnit.
Still can hit for a lot, but probably not that high anymore.
To hit over the soft cap you need either combustion or elemental damage. its likely your 30m was a simple combustion proc
Well there are more ways but those are the most reliable
Have they buffed hippo yet?
No.
WHy
Too busy buffing blessings.
Pain
i just did a run with thunder nemesis spam, tiger is very good even without snipers
is there any way to default the scope zoom to 2x?
i just alt + f4 the 3rd act until I got it
save at the start (the pond) , then alt f4 the end of the stage
it will make you do the act again and saves progress
alt f4 once you get at the boss stage (dont kill the boss)
wym save
Like theres a pond or puddle you interact with that heals you
it also saves your progress
yeah its how i got demonlore within a few hours
ive been playing li only trying to unlock it
helped me learn shes also the best character in the game
yeah i also used her for the act, but i think turtle/rabbit would probably do the act faster tbh
i c thanks
why turtle got 2 cloud weaver#s
Turtle cannot fire weapons while Tidal Aspis is active.
Cloud Weaver doesn't need to fire to hit enemies. You just need to look at them.
Dunno about using 2 of them, but that's the explanation for its use in general.
It's also Fox's weapon of choice for the same reason, because her skill builds are WAY better than her weapon ones, so you'll likely be only using skills and not firing weapons.
i thought energy draining was her best build
since u get ridiculous stats
900% dmg
Energy Draining requires you to devote yourself to it to get to the absurd amounts of power. You borderline must use a weapon with high hit count while element sharing with a fire weapon to reach those numbers.
Her skills however, don't. Pick ascensions, pick scrolls, shoot fireballs. Done.
ye i was using poison gloves with fire tower element shore
share*
will try tho
i always thought cloud weaver was unplayable cool to see it does fit in some builds
Hello
I have question it has been long while since I have last played
Lemme check my last message here that’ll be a good way of gauging it
Ok not a incredibly long time
But it’s been a while
Last I played was like November 27th
So 5 months
Kinda?
Yea I know someone like Slight thinks her weapon builds are better but I disagree
But anyways what’s been changed anything new added?
They have higher potential output but they're harder to assemble and struggle more in the early game
Meanwhile cataclysm or spiritual flame builds are just...spam your skill and win
If he said they're better then he's correct.
Because Fox's weapon builds did get buffed when they added Energy Draining.
If they're the best is debatable.
Nah he put energy draining above cataclysm and spiritual flame builds, full stop
They made Spiritual Assault easier, and added an extra Spiritual Assault map. This one for the desert.
They also added more spiritual blessings and buffed spiritual blessings that didn't need to be buffed, because of course they did.
Oh and they added a new Bizarre Dream modifier Interdependent Fortunes.
Which gives players extra scrolls, but also gives enemies buffs similar to the scrolls you gained debuffs that are disguised as buffs which the player can force on them.
pov you step on broken glass
more like you step on a lego
I have nearly unlocked the entire overall talent tree and im not even at Reincarnation im still on elite
damn thats tough man what r u strugging with
even while abusing rest sites saving grinding demonlore is so god damn annoying man
sometimes the kills dont even register for the progress
why did they have to make it so impossible
usually only 2 of those lobsters show up per run
its so tedious
The kill MUST be done with fire damage, either from a weapon or skill that is fire elemental, or the Burning effect.
Finishing them with other things, such as Combustion or instant kill effects will NOT count.
im was dping it with a li cataclysm build
with a fire cloud weaver
sat there for an hour until i cpuldnt take it anymore
just need 6 more
new highest dmg on bird
i love this scroll @solemn sleet
Clearly it needed the buff it got.
This, right?
Yep.
Total damage of your weapon effectively increased from 100% to 120%, and 112.5% to 150% for the enhanced version.
Doubles your on-hit effects and gives a multiplicative damage boost, instead of only doubling your on-hit effects.
Eh... something something no one cares because it only affects shotguns.
Kind of like how no one cares about Atomic Bomb's damage cap, because the enemy is dead before you reach it.
Lmfao
theres so much potential builds for fish and bear paw
its nice even if you just slap it on normally
It's bad in exactly 2 cases.
- If you're using Combustion and/or Burning, because you'd only get 1 proc at 60% damage, even if you could've triggered 2.
- If you want to get a really high damage number, to flex on those scrubs who didn't pick sniper Tiger.

Hope you wasn't using combustion.
i wasnt
anybody can tell me whats the fun about spiritual thing the new mode
Killing more enemies than normal.
A mode-specific boss.
And a few unique mechanics, like temporary powerups and customizing your "talents".
Idk I see people say this but personally I unlocked it without even trying.
continue to bear? or declare it a successful run.
i unlocked the demonlore and used it maybe twice.. not really a gun i like.
Tiger's a glass cannon. Only some of it is RNG. The rest is skill at not getting hit.
but blessings
in my books a full run is all the way, even for acheivements and such ill always go to bear
I mean the one hit dmg I've beaten r8 many times with every character
I've just been trying to beat my one hit highest dmg
What are you trying to do?
if this game had character skins itd be so cool
Only for making each player in multiplayer stand out.
Besides that, it's virtually worthless outside of the main menu or run summaries.
is it just me or is multiplayer dragon qian SA challenge insanely overtuned on health
each one of them has like a million health (literally)
even on 2 player
it wasn't hard on singleplayer but on 2 player it feels like it's literally not possible to deal enough damage to kill 6 of them (not helped by the fact that they're fast as heck)
Multiple dragon qians individually have less health than the single one.
HP wise, they seem fine to me.
However, idk why they're like lightning fast even when decayed.
Also you get 100 seconds instead of 60.
we've encountered it twice now and found that we could never get more than 3 of them
i guess maybe you just need a super optimal build for them
which is annoying because that's not realy always in your control
especially with all the feedback loops involved in SA
...or we're just stupid and forgot Miasma exists
hmm
Combustion exists.
🤷
i was playing bird. my leaps were doing about 50k at the time and that was like 3 pixels off of any one of their health bars lmao
feels like elite monk all over again
also they're competely immune to slows
that i recognized immediately
Ah
Makes sense. I think
Then again, it feels as if they get faster when I decay them.
you can't unlock frames in spiritual assult can you?
You can't unlock anything except Spiritual Jades.
thank
essentailly just keep beating my one shot dmg record
try fox
Youre not gonna do that with lei lou
lei luo is hard capped
and yet every time someone says that i do
Only way youre gonna hit the big numbers is with combustion
did you have +1 projectile on the bow?
nope
it was jsu crit goshawk and strike wing for more crit with gemini
and scrolls ofc
did you get a picture of the highest shot dmg
Normal damage is literally capped at 10m more crit isnt going to change that, it's just fact
other modifiers are at play which is making your damage higher
it doesnt matter how strong you are, ur not gonna do more than 15,000,000 on lei usually
did u get any screenshots
the hexagon one is up a bit
he means of the in game shot
not of the post game screen
can you go into that and screenshot your scrolls and weapon mods
um maybe i have iot on video id have to check
i mean thats sorta irrelvent if the after report shows u the highest dealt
^
go to player information and go click on that game
if you hover over the weapon it'll show your weapon too
i dont have it thats older and i play too many i just saved that pic with my phone to show a friend
Congrats, you won the lottery!
Except for the first blessing.
You sure you didn't have ele conversion link?
meow
Oh yeah btw I played co-op for the first time a few days back and I couldn't see the other player (my sister who I'm trying to get into the game) shooting or using abilities
Is that normal?
its a setting in video, see teammates shooting and abilities
gotta turn it on
Oh for real?
I turned my graphics settings down for all my games because I was putting off some much needed computer maintenance and it was slowing down
Never bothered to turn them back up because the graphics in this game, frankly, aren't it's selling point to begin with imo lol
i have post processing on high
makes it look so much better
also gives this retro looking filter on the outer edges, i love it
That does look pretty
Yeah cuz my laptop has pretty high specs I just had to tune up the fans and clear some stuff off my computer
So it could probably handle that
normally itd be fine
you might drop abit during high spam builds
it just looks so good when playing tiger, bolts glow brighter
bloom = eye candy :)
When i uncap my framerate the game runs at couple hundred fps 300 to 400
Do both bullets from Double Caliber proc Energy Blade?
so at the 6s energy orb ascension how long does it take for the freeze to reset on an enemy? at 5s?
tryna get prince frame
basically you want to get several levels of both freeze and upgrade for multiples
I know but wiki says after a short time the freeze effect will reset
I wanna know how long the timer is so I can recast again and again without the enemy breaking chain
freeze resistence*
Freeze resistance remains for long enough that you'd get the frame if you froze an enemy while waiting for it to reset.
I see
- li is cheesy
- combustion/elemental is how you hit the big numbers
Inb4 next update introduces Prismatic Shard and suddenly Li can get Pyrodom III
was able to get it, the duration icon will start to blink and shortly after I was able to time the 2nd cast
turns out the 2nd cast was the most important as after the 2nd cast you can quickly chain the third and GGs
gah now how am I going to dual wield for 300 seconds 😭
Battle Tested 3 and 2600 ammo.
Ammo Expert, maxed out Battle Tested, and preferably weights to hold down your M1 and M2 buttons.
gotcha
wiki says apparently to use only 20 or so ammo every 2 seconds too
ohh I see
battle test 3 boosts the duration by a lot
li moment
Is there a way to give me a role so people can ping if they're looking for someone? I think it would make it way easier to find interested players. I sometimes check if people play on the server but either there's noone or the groups are full.
@vapid crag i mean if youre free you can join us
combustion what'd i tell ya
i did all the spiritual assaults solo with my chracters...
but i can't figure out whats a good build for teams...
well a good set up
li is too broken, too easy to use too
but i prefer aobai being a gatling gun throwing grenade 10 bomb/s
So you prefer being broken over being broken?
Penguin gave you the middle finger for all the times you one-shot him from a distance.
anyone wanna play elite difficulty with me?
Ask in #1064937664870101033.
ookok
admittedly joined mostly for emotes but also check out this Prism roll I got in Spiritual Assault tonight
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/927057657603448832/1095222744557289502/image.png
what's special about it?
was applying Corrosion/Miasma to an entire crowd with just a couple crits on a single target
idk it was almost mesmerizing seeing it chunk elites all by its lonesome
sounds okay
i never use kunai at all
or knife throwing type of weapon
sounds weak and looks weak
Arc Light is pretty strong.
Why chunk elites when you can insta kill them 😛
yeah it sucks that that's such a good roll on the prism but the game is so unbalanced that that's still far from the most effective strategy lmfao
That is a really good prism tho
I would pick that up
hey, as long as it works
I mean, with ao bai, all you need is nuclear bomb and throw a bunch of grenades so...
But yeah, kunais are pretty bad though
Didn't they get nerfed pretty heavily?
I know Glimmering did
Which looks more like a throwing spear to me but it's the counterpart to Prism and Arc Light even so :p
I do like Prism in tombs though
The ricochets are way more helpful there since the map design is so different
half the time prism ricochets into the sky box
I use prism as my copium replacement until I get an Aura of Venom
In the side note, I found this once.
woah
You'll find a lot crazier shit the more you play
Especially as monkey
Getting another exclusive inscription
Damnmmnn
was dmg cap every shot
Did you have the monkey spiritual blessing for more damage with ammo in mag
I completed 3 games with it in r8 all modifiers, and I can assure you it still works fine (30 minutes for a run fine)
Prism and Glimmering's nerfs happened ages ago, and they haven't really been touched since.
It's just alternative options have gotten better and difficulties have gotten harder.
Well... "harder".
What kind of nerf did Prism get?
RoF decrease. Something like 2.4 -> 2.1.
Ah
I mean tbf 3/4 modifiers have potential to make R8 free
True, but try it on bird though
His dps is shit
I agree tho I'm just surprised how far miasma has fallen, but I do think it's well balanced
I mean I main monkey and bird
💀
Bird genuinely isn't that bad
There are some cheesey combos if you're doing lone wolf
He is.
In a game about rising above the odds, something being 20% worse is a MASSIVE deal.
What's miasma though
And Birb is far below that.
He has no OP builds that he can just activate by picking his first blessing. He must get lucky with ascensions and scrolls to reach that level.
And given how a chunk of his stuff is devoted to defensive options further worsens that problem. Especially on multiplayer where defensive options are redundant because revives exist.
Even the optimal way to use his secondary skill is to abandon all damage from weapons and leap and just use cleave, because otherwise you're only hurting your future damage output.
And he's one of... 2? heroes that has an ascension that hurts him if you pick it at the wrong time. All or Nothing. Dog is the other hero with Twin Gunner.
Dog is broken af
Who needs guns when you have nuclear bomb
Dog's only broken if you take his blessings because most of them are OP.
Without them you get a hero who has crappy shields, almost no HP recovery which you need to get lucky to fix, needs to upgrade 2 weapons resulting in them both being weaker, his specialty with explosions relies heavily on fighting groups otherwise the damage sucks (unless you use Shrieker or the hilariously powerful Deafening Mortar), his primary skill has an extremely long downtime and part of the uptime can be wasted unless you get lucky, and he has a secondary skill that is virtually worthless outside of staggering enemies, because the damage scaling is bad.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I don't think bird works as well in multiplayer, I agree with that much
best character for spiritual assault?
Just got back from a walk. But yeah, I guess I do evaluate things very differently as a solo player; I can see how bird would struggle when he has to keep up with other characters and not just have enough damage to beat the game, especially in reincarnation where the difference in blessing quality widens that gap further
In solo, his abundance of defense has made him feel like a fun and consistent pick in spite of the DPS weakness, since it matters a bit less in singleplayer imo
In solo Birb is definitely more sustainable, however on high difficulties often the best defence is a good offense. Nothing can kill you if they're already dead.
So he ends up having to protect himself while slowly killing enemies, unlike everyone else who just... kills enemies.
He definitely has combos that are good enough to reach other character's damage levels but they're pretty specific to assemble and you're not really exceeding other character's peaks that way
Still I find he's consistent enough for solo play at least
Luck is required for that.
If you aren't abusing dog's broken stuff I do genuinely think dog is a lot worse in solo
Absolutely.
Problem is, you can always abuse Dog's broken stuff if you wanted to.
Not so with Birb, as he doesn't have any.
meanwhile bird is always slightly below average heh
shrieker op
This is disgusting.
does spirit bible work with monkey?
Ohh okay
It also benefits pistols because soul strike with a pistol adds the secondary damage to the soul strike
It might benefit launcher soul strike since those do splash damage and skill damage also boosts all splash for some reason
Don't quote me tho I haven't tested that one
is total damage multiplicative?
yes
wtf am i looking at
Supreme
High art. (I have an art degree so my assessment is infallible)
Walter actually regularly shows at the MOMA and is most famous for his collage work /s
Ugh the copycat room modifier is so annoying sometimes
Just ran into an agile corrosive room on sniper tiger
Needless to say, I died
Wtf how did you hit 104m
This could change things 🤔
@bronze compass I need details :))
Secret bro 🫣🤭
This is detail 🤣
Na I'm sure the push past the damage cap is from the weapon inscriptions. It must be
Jokking im jusst pts that 🤣
My highest is like 178m but that was on a pure combustion crown prince
Never seen single shot damage that high past the cap on tiger
How can get that dmg with crown prince
Combustion goes past the damage cap
Do you have detail
Its just using his pyromancy buff and the combustion buff from spiritual assault, combined it with a poison ghost and fire tower
Im just confused on how you hit so high above the damage cap
Did you have the spirit inscription?
on the argus
Yup
You have two requirments
That inscriptions and this scroll
fish and bear paw yeah
hmmmm
okay i can test with this
Just gotta hope for good rng again lmao
It still can get higgher
I'm almost wondering if that inscription somehow just bypasses the damage cap
coz even with poison ghost the skill which deals true damage typically doesnt
Yep agree
Even you have lots of lucky shot and crit, the tiger still stuck on 48M with the sniper build
Yeah it's easier to test this stuff in spiritual assault as theres a lot of extra buffs you can get. although you cant get gradual crit
I'll try testing it tomorrow i bit more extensively, im tryna compile a list of all the things that pass the damage cap
Im not sure is it easy in spiritual assault because i less play that mode
As you can see that it deal true dmg
It's easier coz you get more of a selection on scrolls and can get inscriptions and weapons you want easier
Which needs the second hit to active that true dmg so the fish and bear paw is the key to success
And one thing that you also have a state of scrit high
Coz the fish and bear decrease 40 wp dmg so we need crit for that replacement
I mean yeah, advanced version would make it pretty good
Double tap with strike wing?
double tap is a bird spiritual blessing
I mean as in synergy
Hmm double tap wouldn't be especially good with the strike wing and bird doesn't work fantastically with a bow imo
It would be okay, though, you're multiplying a big number
what could it change
ppl have already hit about 300m
pre current patch yes
Come to think of it, I don't know how double tap actually interacts with the strike wing
I don't think the extra arrows are counted though
you say people but i've only ever seen one person hit above 200m
I'm just tryna experiment with bypassing the damage cap
pretty sure before it was done with monkey when he was released
yes agree that there still have someone else can get that huge dmg but specifically, i want to share that is this build of LeiLou can exceed the dmg limit which is 48M
This is from my bro so which 300M per hit compare with this. It is notthing
this is fun
Sadge my dual tiger cannon Dog run failed
Not gone lie id like to try dual mortar dog
Okay so that argus inscription really must surpass the cap lol
Defo need to test this out
sure does
crunching numbers and stuff i end at 4.8b
still requires a ungodly ammount of dmg
I mean, beside Li, what character really is good without blessings?
So just perfect rng and a perfect run in mp I assume to help with scrolls and money for upgrades 😛
Lei Lou can still be a sniper one hit god without blessings.
Tbh monkey can also be great.
Never could do it in either r8 all modifiers or spiritual assault
And idk about that since I don't play monkey that often so maybe lol
The starting cat? He has pretty descent damage perks, but his ult only does control
Not too great for solo playing, unless you want to spend 2 times the amount of time killing enemies
use guns...
Didn't think of that 
Even then, it still doesn't do a lot of damages
You can stack a +120% damage to fire, debuff with nades and that's kinda it
bruh
Other than that, spores and submachine gun
Combustion or spores makes basically any character a god. Miasma too if you're playing solo
Literally just take a golden bow or goshawk and pair the crit with a strikewing or kasana and you've got like 9-10 crit X. Which is half of what you'd get with that + gradual crit blessing.
Without that blessing it only nerfs is damage by 50-60% and it's so easy to hit double past the damage cap anyway
Lol, the only 2 snipers I don't like
I mean you can use others too
Charging weapons are kinda meh so I didn't experiment with them, but good to know thx
Double caliber is good
Yeah, that's my favorite one
Those are just the best for single shot really
I like woodpecker too cause it's funny to spam shots
But goshawk has the best potential I believe due to its amazing exclusives
Yeah some are pretty wild
But 1 secs for a shot is so slow
I like to chain shots by drag scoping npcs
But I'll definitely try it again
And yeah, thought about this after, and since cat's main gimmick is elemental damages, it makes it even better
I mean its really not especially when you can get the inscription to reduce it. Deal more crit or auto crit when scoped in and hit multiple targets
I never saw that
Goshawk literally has aimbot as two of it's inscriptions
Always instantly deleted every goshawk I saw
And aim assist coz it's projectile size
Gotta get lucky though
I mean yeah but even it's base damage is crazy high
Also considering every elite and boss drops a sniper its easy to get the one you want
Lmao
im suprised this game has so many ppl online but no one in the discord vc channels lol
very antisocial community ig 😅
You've arrived a bit late.
There are people who aren’t even in the discord itself, and a lot of people who play this game are in countries that don’t even speak English
Check out gunfire reborn streams on twitch, you’ll see what I mean
I know like 10 regular people who join the vcs
And also gotta account into the people who play solo to the player count
What happens when you use the alternate fire. And use deft hands or enhanced skateboarder?
Im part of the regulars mwahaha
It fires 3 shots like usual.
You need the exclusive inscription if you want it to keep firing.
Who is this guy
Idk who are you?
Ive never seen you before
Are you gay btw? The flowers around your pfp say so
yo, anyone know what spiritual blessing i should get for Xing Zhe on a soul strike build?
I had this with like 200 ammo and it was very funny but the damage was pretty shit lol
The one that buffs soul strike probs
i figured, just didn't know if maybe the one that buffs your talents was good
It's okay but not amazing
There really isn't much benefit from it for soul strike compared to dimensional strike.
With DS you get 3 uses plus 300% weapon damage at max stacks.
And you're not forced to use specific weapons unlike weapon mastery.
Weapon mastery can be great but usually doesn't work out very well and the buffs don't match the same as cudgel
Like it's annoying that the lucky strike buffs are on two different weapons
560 shield with Infinite Shield let's gooo
Weapon mastery, shotgun, injector
Has always been pretty op for me
what's an injector?
Any one of these
oh okay
Bro had the crop ready
ong
Lmao
I just had the spiritual assault wiki opened, so I went to the weapons tab, scrolled down, and screen shotted.
Bro has mysterious in his name and explained himself
I encountered a defensive agile elite catfish warrior with a piercing flame cat build in an elite gathering
Seeing that thing waddle up to me at mach 10 about gave me a heart attack, lmao
hold on. ain't Precise Explosion and Accurate Crush are supposed to be in the SA Effect Adjustment list?
did they removed it? (reverted)
or was it just an oopsie? (added in accidentally and removed later)
has anyone had the issue where characters you bought through dlc "Re-Lock"?
Was probably an accident, since it was still in Chinese at the time.
Game balance. He's super squishy and his weapon choice isn't that great at close range, so he needs a way to flee from enemies that get too close.
Hi all, just came back to the game after almost one year. Is there a matchmaking channel around here? I cant find teammates ingame :*(
yes there is!
#1064937664870101033
You know, for a self proclaimed "Best Gunfire Player", I thought you would have already known this.
does anyone have a good build for the fox in spiritual assult?
You could try doing a sword build with her using scorching force.
That usually works for me.
You don't need a good build for fox literally all of her kit is busted
Unless you're like me who never gets conflagration when I build around spiritual flame
💀
I mean yeah but that's not having a bad build it's just bad rng
I literally had everything in spiritual flame buffs but conflagration and energy 3 the other day
Fucking sucked
Thing is, if the same thing happened to any other hero, aside from maybe Cat doing a Smoke Grenade build, they'd all get struck down even worse.
Yup
Monkey gets affected quite bad if you keep getting essence whip stuff
It applies so little to a weapon build
I find playing as dog (at least in spiritual assault) a lot more consistent.
Only thing I really need is like one node of ammo expert and the rest is whatever.
He is very consistent anyway
Especially launcher with launcher buff form the spiritual thing
The fact he has two trees that can buff launches makes him very easy to get powerful
I'm getting offered a choice between advanced depot and veteran on dog 😭
That's hard af
In tombs no less so the veteran would have time to stack
I already have sanguine relic so maybe veteran
Unless you're gonna make a build around depot there's no reason to take it since dog has ammo expert.
especially since I have skateboarder and deft hands to counteract my twin gunner
And enhanced elemental bestowment
yeah on second thought I basically already go infinite lmao
Early Veteran is amazing on dog. Especially with a launcher build if you can get enduring caster
And his spiritual blessing that amps his weapon damage based on hp
Boy do I love this set of choices
Wait
do fireballs from the fireball inscription get boosted by precise explosion?
This is my current set up
So boosting the fireballs would genuinely be helpful lol
I dont think so
I don't think the weapon counts as explosive. So possibly not
But yeah you should test it
With this set up, I should never have low enough mags to use ember eruption
Jeez
Yeah my luck has been insane
The fireball is amped by skill damage though
Oh how does cloud weaver interact with Unleashed Potential btw?
Or is unleashed potential just on as long as I hold down the fire with the gauntlets?
I think it might be based on ammo consumption.
But not in the way that would give it deft hands antisynergy
Is it worth dropping the thunderclap gloves here, forgoing the tri-elemental to go combustion much more reliably?
I want to at least try this gun and see how fast it empties a mag XD
It'll delete your mag and ammo.
it's 4 ammo per shot in dual wield hahaha
but I do have a huge ammo sustain
Ammo expert, deft hands, elemental bestowment, skateboarder, improved clip
skateboarder doesn't sustain ammo.
Nah but it's less downtime reloading
Holy shit even with ammo expert this thing is an ammo hog LOL
Are you using its alt fire?
yeah
maybe that's genuinely overkill and I just want the increased ammo and accuracy of the regular fire
I found against the flow yooo
Thought this was funnie
I've never once seen spiritual assault gameplay
"heh, heh wah!"
I had this as tao with sword enthusiast and fish and bear paw. Was also rof enhanced
if you have a lot of hp
It was absolutely insane
I can send the jade build
omg lmao
I have a combined 543 right now, is that enough to skip it?
depends on how much dmg reduction you have
you may as well take it since you're using sanguine
unkillable with feline
Yeah lol
I had a stone skin but it's worth it to drop that
Now I get close call every 2 hits too
I finally got sharpshooter and oh my lord
depends
Are you using tsunami punch?
I tend to like shotguns on turtle as a baseline but they get crazy with that blessing
You also have to stay continuously on the move to get the bonus so longer range weapons aren't too viable
shotguns, SMGs, lasers, they'll do well with it I imagine
Certain guns from other weapon classes too
yeah the wiki isnt too specific but id guess shotguns
Sunder isn't technically a shotgun but it would do well too
This run is so blessed
I could probably bunnyhop through enemies without shooting and be immortal between close call, spirit feline, midair strike and my huge health regen
libra warrior says it "grants extra weapon dmg which is equivalent to 100% of the bonuses to striking punch" so wouldn't the ascension that gives the punch up to 300% base damage also apply to weapons?
or not because its base damage?
It actually says that you gain bonus equal to your fist sensation, not your overall punch damage, just that multiplier
So rogue wave works
But not other punch ascensions
It means that fist sensation is granting the same bonus to guns as it is to your punch
Did that new scroll modifier they add actually do anything
Fire Tower Libra Warrior sounds fun asf
what scroll modifier?
Where you give enemies scrolls
It gave you a way to make the game easier
Does that count?
I remember it not doing anything
Okay
It triggers between acts, from the start of act 2 onwards
I just looked at the roadmap and forget the first quarter was over
It does nothing until the Desert
so that was the only content was got
And a new spiritual assault map
Pretty disappointing but we're getting a new character soon so it's all good
That mode is so disgustingly easy after all the nerfs
2 new characters, 4 new weapons
Whats even the point now lol
The whole game is easy after nerfs
Is it a full DLC?
The heroes and weapons are going to be a new dlc
like the last one was
I believe at least
The game can be hard but you've gotta really limit yourself ;~;
You can self impose challenges, especially with the new bizzare dream, you can choose scrolls that will intentionally make it harder. but if youre playing to win its so easy to
The way I usually play is mysterious jokul plus lone wolf, either taking a low combat impact blessing or no blessing, or taking a high impact blessing and skipping the blessing before tombs
And avoiding things like atomic nade or spores builds
I've found that's been a good balance for me
i usually go for enhanced weapon if i wanna do a weapon build or gambler if i want good ascensions, i never take overconsumption its just not fun
I mean I find overconsumption to be fun but not with other OP blessings
It's probably the least egregious of the pool of overtuned blessings imo lol
Honestly I find it addicting cuz I just like to go fast lmao
Honestly overconsumption's gimmick is cool on paper insofar as relying on it becomes harder in late game but late game is very rarely a challenge outside of specific elites
I'd like it better if the damage numbers were toned pretty far down but it was fixed values
Just as a great jack of all trades blessing
I with mysterious jokul actually made jokul harder instead of just having the difficult final elite stage
is icy spear actually ever used in any good builds
I've never been able to make it work
It might genuinely be the second or third worst weapon in the game
It's just so slow for the damage it deals
The retrieval is better but it takes forever to actually get meaningful damage out of that cuz you have to spend so long chucking spears and accomplishing nothing first
Like compare it to the aura of venom
It has the same crit x, a bit less damage, but more than double the fire rate
And then it has the aura alt fire and one of the best corrosion chances in the game
It might genuinely be worse than glimmering XD
it looks like a fun weapon too lol
It absolutely would be cool if it just did a bit more base damage
and give it an RoF of like 2 instead of 1.5
or 1.8 if that's too much
Like it's a fun weapon to shoot
can be used with energy blade build
not very well though
considering the pull back is kinda the main thing
i want a build to work around pulling back loads of spears for the crit
is there anything there with lei luo’s “enemy takes increased Crit damage on crit” goblet
What do you mean?
Sniper build
What does it count as in terms of the game mechanics?
Could you, idk, throw a bunch and then retract them with storm blast fatal current? Lol
fatal current only counts for your first shot though so when retracting it would only deal extra damage to one i think
The first hit when retracting during fatal current will deactivate your current
Unless it’s in a group of weak enemies and you have magical supply
yeah exactly
it just doesnt have good synergy
which is a shame coz its a great concept
I have never seen anyone use icy spear other than early game
it would be better if it worked more like cloud weaver i think
I’ve used it once for lightning ball bolt from the blue and it’s terrible
so constantly drains the ammo
It’s just such a slow weapon
The right click is too much effort to use
Pretty sure everyone would rather just spam e lol
I've used it a few times with spores.
I was hoping that would all count as one shot similar to the flowing light
yeah but i dont think it does
That's unfortunate
It might beat injectors on single target with stacking but other than that, ur not really getting much value
Also this has happened only like 3 times and I have no clue how to replicate it exactly
I took the craftsman inheritor and when I was rerolling a weapon it glitched out my current held weapon and just made it unusable?
Never was able to shoot that same sunder
Thats pretty funny ngl
I love how nades can get stuck on enemies lol
Had my smoke bomb go into a frozen shotgun bandit's elbow
Just had a 30mb Steam update but no update log on Steam?>
Steam does that sometimes
Nvm lol
Right, I mean WRT the spear
Could there be limited synergy with critting a boss repeatedly then getting benefit from retracting the spears
its just not a big enough percentage to really be viable
it doesnt work with anything else on his kit really
If I have a weapon with x2 or x3 its projectile count, Soul Strike is gonna factor in the total damage, not the damage of just 1 projectile, right ?
Also do skill damage bonuses benefit soul strike ?
No
soul strike is weapon damage
unless you use a pistol then it uses the damage from essense chain
since a little patch on steam today has anyone else felt there game significantly worse? dying a lot faster than normal, suddenly running out of ammo when you've changed nothing, weapon drops a lot less too?
First run ever with Li 
first time i've succeeded a run just using a sword
highest damage dealt was 810k
i also had overconsumption from lw
sword
Extra damage when enemies have more than 80% total HP.
kk thanks!
also best spiritual blessing?
im thinking gradual improvement
but idk
Probably Gradual Improvement.
i figured
If you want a fun alternative you can try shrieker strike wing crit x combo
Absolutely schnasty roll on this Wild Hunt. 
Normally I don't Advanced Depot cheese the 2 mag inscription but I mean come on this is the exception. I wanted to see the carnage and it was beautiful.
when is advanced depot good
Yes.
I just seem to end up w weapons where a) they’re single shot like kunai/bow, b) I don’t really care about reloading (mortar), or c) the capacity is already decent (minigun, most other stuff)
Or this could be like sanguine heart where I just don’t know where I’m talking about and it’s goated
