More cheaper rn

cosmic karma
#

ah alright thanks

inland glade
#

You can't say aiming for crits is a gameplay design exclusive to snipers

main forum
#

And I like these characters more

#

But your decision

inland glade
#

Because the Demonlore is very much not a sniper lol

wicked python
#

No, its just the lower RoF and higher base Critx

tender token
#

brick go brrrrr

wicked python
#

relative to, say, daggers which would be the next most similar

inland glade
#

The Demonlore is such a comically overtuned weapon

#

Had one that never had to reload cuz of inscriptions and scrolls, stacked projectile count on kills, had Projectiles +1 and stacks CritX every 4 crits for 10s

#

Then I also had Fish or Bear Paw

#

Think at one point I had over 50 CritX

#

Sounds like a fun run

alpine umbra
#

yeah i don't know the synergies yet lol

runic jasper
#

Still trying to understand the birb

alpine umbra
#

also i went purple scrolls only for the chievo

inland glade
#

Don't worry neither does anyone else LOL

alpine umbra
#

bird is probably as strong as li?

inland glade
#

Also, it's possible that I'm just a complete moron (very likely), but I'm guessing that the <Type> Ammo scrolls are for specializing your builds to a single ammo type for more damage

#

So like, Lei Luo would want Special Ammo, anyone using non-Fire Tower swords would want Rare/Heavy/whatever they call it

alpine umbra
#

wait fire tower is meta?

inland glade
#

Not that I recall

#

The other 2 swords are much better lol

alpine umbra
#

oh wait misread lol

inland glade
#

Especially Poisonous Ghost, every time I get one early I hard carry R8

#

%HP true damage is fair and balanced

alpine umbra
#

yeah that one goes crazy lmao

inland glade
#

It's even more fun with Fish or Bear Paw, lets you charge waves twice as fast

#

That's just such a good scroll lol

alpine umbra
#

fish or bear paw is a stupid scroll in of itself lmao

#

that + merciless combo and you've got yourself a free win

#

and you can do so much more with it too

inland glade
#

Throw it on any Projectiles +1 Demonlore too

#

Gotta love 4 stacks per crit

alpine umbra
#

i found a really fucking silly demonlore couple runs ago

inland glade
#

you are like little baby

alpine umbra

holy nice

#

mine needs advanced depo to be stupid

Easily the dumbest weapon I've ever made

@fallen escarpDoes the new mysterious dream modifier sjust make the game even easier

alpine umbra
#

ascension fusion makes it easier

#

interdependent fortunes, depends

#

wait are those new

#

idk i haven't played in a bit

#

transcendent arsenal is funny tho

inland glade
alpine umbra
#

lmao nice

west sedge
#

Does the new update have any way to increase difficulty beyond ascension 8?

inland glade
#

Good meme

alpine umbra
#

nope 😔

#

reincarnation 16 when

queen oasis
#

does interdependent fortunes give the scroll to enemies too?

alpine umbra
#

yea

queen oasis
#

oh lmao

inland glade
alpine umbra
#

thought the effect is sometimes a little different

wicked python
#

you can personally handicap to increase difficulty via Fortunes

#

as there are some REALLY broken fortunes for the enemies

alpine umbra
#

yeah true

west sedge
alpine umbra
#

lone wolf 4 player is the prime way of playing tbh

wicked python
#

but normally you would just avoid them cuz theyre so difficult lmao

inland glade
west sedge
#

I thought lone wolf was only single player?

alpine umbra
inland glade
#

Ah

alpine umbra
west sedge
#

Holy shit...

inland glade
#

None that I've noticed, but also everything just buckles under my power regardless

alpine umbra
#

well some just don't make sense for enemies

west sedge
#

I only really play with my friend though unfortunately

inland glade
#

The only time I've had a problem was when an elite Arsonist spawned and had Flesh and Bones and Decay Driver lol

west sedge
#

shame we cant scale from 2 to 4 players with just two of us

alpine umbra
#

on a different note, this scroll is fucking broken

#

it overrides the 1 ascension for act 4

inland glade
alpine umbra
#

yep lmao

inland glade
#

I imagine that scroll can't be discarded

alpine umbra
#

i haven't checked tbh

inland glade
#

Because if it can, that's actually game breaking

#

Cuz you can just drop it before every goblet to have the full 3

#

And save it for act 4

alpine umbra
#

or give it to your friends :)

inland glade
#

True

#

We share around Hidden Transaction all the time

#

Same with Premium Membership

alpine umbra
#

yeah lmao

inland glade
#

And also Flesh and Bones for easy healing

#

Our tiger player always runs Flesh and Bones cuz then you can't lose Thunder Turbo stacks

#

Can't lose stacks on shield break if there's no shield to break.

alpine umbra
#

true tho

#

tbh tho, 5th level talent for nona seems kinda underwhelming

fallen escarp
# smoky crag <@280234817113686017>Does the new mysterious dream modifier sjust make the game ...

Ascension Fusion can theoretically make it harder if you do stupid things and pick ascensions that don't synergize with your build, diluting your ascension pool. But what you'd pick is typically what you want, making it easier to get stronger.

Transcendent Arsenal gives you 3 backpack slots for reserve weapons AND lets you store and retrieve weapons between runs. Levels get reset, but inscriptions don't, letting you always take out and use that one OP weapon you found in another run.

So yes, both make the game even easier.

inland glade
#

I wonder how Lucky Roulette interacts with Extravagant Consumption, i.e which triggers first

smoky crag
#

Alright

#

Follow up question, where do the developers live

#

Lemme talk to em

I'm going to tp their porch for the bird nerf

drifting path
#

How does steam refund policy work for dlcs? Do I get 2 hours of playtime as soon as I buy the dlc or it counts the playtime for the base game?

fringe crystal
#

So if you withdraw a gun for a run and you beat pole monarch, you can't save that gun again yea

#

Cause the only way to store them is in the last vaults of an act

fallen escarp
#

There's an arsenal stash at Pole Monarch, if I'm not mistaken.

fringe crystal
#

Oh sick

#

Do a run with ultimate fire arm, profit

alpine umbra
#

though frankly, this makes trading weapons between players possible lmao

fringe crystal
#

You can save a weapon as early as hitting the vault before the first boss right

#

You don't have to complete a run to save it

main forum
#

I dont know when the arsenal things start

#

But I do know its before the final boss

alpine umbra
#

as long as it ends up in the box when the run ends, you keep it

#

i found one in an act 3 vault, i think it can appear in act 2 at earliest

#

don't quote me on that tho

fringe crystal
#

Oh act 2?

#

Alright

west sedge
#

Anyone else have no idea how this owl works? The ability descriptions are difficult to understand

#

Actually, it would be more useful to know of someone who DOES understand 😅

#

I can kind of understand the abilities a little through playing them, but the ascensions just throw me way off

tropic mesa
#

From what I got, Zi Xiao Primary Skill works like some sort of slot machine that depends on the Secondary.

alpine umbra
#

you want to have "scrolls" of the same colour in the bar, when you have a bunch of them you use the primary

tropic mesa
#

Depending on the Occult Scrolls you currently have, the Secondary makes a color appear in one of the squares at the bottom. The better your scrolls, the better the color (blue is the lowest, yellow is the highest)
If you have at least three of the same color, you get a "Pure Astrohouse" (the bar above the square, that indicates the chances of getting a specific type Falling Stars. For example, if 1/3 is purple and 2/3 is white, you have 1 chance out of 3 of getting a Rare Falling Stars, otherwise you get an Impure Falling Stars, that deals less damage)

alpine umbra
#

but ngl, i feel like building for primary is both harder and worse than secondary

lucid coral
tropic mesa
#

Considering, however, that Zi can reroll scrolls, there's also a bit of luck manipulation.

lucid coral
#

the reroll is nice just very situational

tropic mesa
#

But yeah, I do agree it's... not that great.
The cards themselves deal nice damage, especially when you get the Ascension that makes them spawn automatically when your magazine goes down to 20%.

But having to depend on luck for your ultimate... eeeeehhhhh...

#

It's a character you'd want to play if you like gambling. lol

alpine umbra
#

it's a character you'd play if you wanna just brainlessly mash Q imo

lucid coral
#

you basically mash q pray you get three scrolls to line up for some extra damage

#

or you go the 20% mag route and just pray

tropic mesa
#

The chances probably get better in later levels as you find more and better scrolls, but early game is hellish.

lucid coral
#

go weapon damage

alpine umbra
#

i don't even use E, literally just get ascensions that boost card damage and capacity

#

also that one that allows your cards to overflow

lucid coral
#

you 1 shot everything

tropic mesa
#

Yeah, but I was trying on Nightmare, where you don't get Spiritual Blessings. lol

#

To check how powerful the character is by himself.

lucid coral
#

yea no you need blessings really bad

#

goes from succ to fine early game

red glacier
#

#game-announcements message

hotfixes coming in soon in case y'all are having some recent bugs

lucid coral
#

havent ran into anything game breaking yet

#

persistence, astro mag, arcane shot, card storm would be very powerful

tropic mesa
#

BTW, is "Xiao Jiu" an early name for Nona?

lucid coral
#

im not too keen on rof getting changed to extra damage

#

for the gemini

#

makes illusion on tao not viable unless it rolls rof on the weapon its self

red glacier

one of the spiritual blessing (?)

tropic mesa

The center Blessing, Exclusive for Nona, has that name instead.

#

@fallen escarp wiki trivia?

lucid coral
#

cards are interesting

pearl bridge
#

People are saying bird got a nerf? Wasn’t he already the objectively least op character in the game? Or are they talking about owl?

rare quest
#

bird

#

somewhat reworked

pearl bridge
#

What? Again?

#

How?

rare quest
#

posting the entire change would go beyond the discord character limit

pearl bridge
#

Hmm ill look in the wiki

rare quest
#

it's in the steam news update

#

#game-announcements

lucid coral
#

so cards at polar boss wont target the vials thankfully i had card storm

#

im guessing known issue

#

so cards aren't that great early game, ok mid game, then become very good once you get the scrolls to have 100% uptime on legendary cards

#

i dont think cards are that great unless you run explosive hand

ancient bison
#

I can’t decide if he needs explosive hand, or if the auto-card on hit ascension is enough on its own. I’m leaning towards needing since late game it fires all the cards at one unit. Fine for bosses on its own but super meh for everything else.

junior wave
#

auto card on hit is actually crazy good

lucid coral
#

makes it pretty rough when you cant spread out your damage

#

yea i think its actually bugging out

#

its only suppose to throw 8

steel gull
#

idk how the owl works

#

he started performing when i picked up explosive hand though

#

#gunfire-videos as shown here

junior wave
#

can throw more than 8 if you have the one that shoots cards

lucid coral
#

ah

#

might be my issue

junior wave
#

at that point it starts scaling with ROF

#

if my editing software stops taking a dump on me i can show a short clip

lucid coral
#

ended up saving my butt for the polar boss fight though since it didnt auto target the vials

junior wave
#

clip is up

#

cards go brr

lucid coral
#

im going to give my best shot at explaining owl boi, you have scrolls you gain at the bottom it stacks to three and they have different rarities. it would seem the cards that summon the scroll stack at the bottom if its wild/legendary/rare/common are the same rarity and do different things and gain different bonuses from the owls ascensions

lucid coral
#

so your trying to manipuate how that works essentially

gritty flame
#

ok the brick with crit gemini is doin numbers

lucid coral
# junior wave clip is up

also yea that thought occurred to me as well running persistence, astro mag, arcane shot, card storm

#

just consuming your scroll stacks for massive increased weapon damage

#

and machine gun throwing cards

junior wave
#

basically hybrid damage brr

lucid coral
#

yup

junior wave
#

star ring procing like crazy too

lucid coral
#

im not sure what to think about it the base damage is not that high

#

barely 1 shots reincarn 1 stage 4 bois

#

and thats with armed caster with 11.3 crit

#

skill freak

junior wave
#

its an item thats just fun to use honestly

#

probaly only pick up if you have good synergries like i did

#

it was a +1 projectile with spores

#

and i had victory rush

lucid coral
#

i kinda was expecting a full wild stack for his main skill to be better then it actually was

junior wave
#

its just a legendary with random stats

#

although no idea what the random stats are

lucid coral
#

yea

#

it seems to inflict random status effects

#

i did it a grand total of once realized throwing cards is better

junior wave
#

its cool to do but the rng makes star fall kinda doodoo water

inland glade
#

Wow just read the whole changelog for Qing Yan and that's embarrassing

#

Absolutely ruined

junior wave
#

also having the +1 primary is kinda redudant when u have to keep swapping for legend scroll

#

its off cooldown by that time

rare quest
#

you try to swap for rare early on

I was so excited for Nona and my expectations were exceeded!

Man I’m gonna stick with Owl a bit..

junior wave
#

aernt all the heros supposed to be designed to go through all 3 build paths

inland glade
#

Because as it stood, Leap was the only real powerhouse option

junior wave
#

weapon damage, secondary damage, primary damage

wanton dawn
inland glade
#

It's like how you can do crazy gun damage builds, chain lightning builds, and Fatal Current builds for Lei Luo

#

All 3 are equally good imo

wanton dawn
#

The birb was too stronk I guess

inland glade
#

Magical Supply + Lightning Governor kinda broken tho

inland glade
#

That's it
That's all they needed to do

junior wave
#

its more of u needed to scale armor hard to make it work

#

since leap sucks without very specific stuff

inland glade
#

They buffed All or Nothing by a whopping 50% a few patches ago and are then flabbergasted when it does a lot of damage lmao

#

Wow it's almost like multiplicative math leads to some funny numbers, who would have thought?

wanton dawn
#

Yeah.. which I mean.. why does he need to be nerfed tho?

inland glade
#

Other characters can get similarly broken results

junior wave
#

cuz it did to much damage with certain scenarios

inland glade
#

So does everyone else

#

LOL

wanton dawn
junior wave
#

thats the thing

wanton dawn

Welp it’s Owl time

before that it was lightining for miasma

wanton dawn

I mean even if it’s not consistent then why nerf it?

fair oasis
#

that does insane dmg

inland glade
junior wave
#

im guessing its just design wise they really want it to be a utility skill

junior wave
#

meanwhile turtle does what bird does better

#

and is basically damage immune

inland glade
#

Ergo no reason to nerf/rework bird

wanton dawn
glad iris
#

Bird is a meme

wanton dawn
inland glade
#

Oh well I'll just default to oneshotting everything as tiger, or bunny's blade of bloom

junior wave
#

mainly comparision of the design vision they do the exact same thing but only bird gets nerfed for some reason

Even if he does it “better” the play style of bird I like more

Also turtle look goofy af with those goggles

they already have reserve card stack under your secondary skill they could make the cards invisible or have a small symbol for the cards and just put the number of cards under the secondary skill like it is currently

then we dont have cards taking up 40% of the screen

Without any goblets just seeing 80 made me giggle.

Just don't get where sword-wielding character = minigun user

you get like 2000 hp which is +2000% dmg

it might unirronically be the best spiritual blessing in the entire game

how tf does the new owl character work i dont understand at all

fair oasis

lucid coral
fair oasis

aslo that spiritual blessing is very i dont know I wish they were more specific

inland glade
#

My main question is

#

What weapon types do you want on the owl

#

Or can you just kinda use whatever

junior wave
#

ROF probably since you can cast cards per 25% clip size or something

lucid coral
cunning mica
#

kinda whatever but for card draw builds I'd recommend fast firerate guns

or anything with 1000 rof

inland glade
harsh flower
#

How dare gasp

fair oasis
#

how is shooting a giant as fireball less interesting lol

rare quest
#

I like Fox (if my name isn't obvious) since I love using all resources into a single big fireball

inland glade
#

Because I could shoot hundreds of swords instead

junior wave
#

i perfer weapon damage fox

#

ROF go BRRR

rare quest
#

Might be useless for several seconds after using it, but hey, big damage unga bunga

fair oasis
harsh flower
#

Pushing the Fireball Spiritual Assault feels great

lucid coral
harsh flower
#

Just this wave of death moving through huge crowds of enemies

fair oasis
#

and that one fire trail assention is really strong too

inland glade
#

I have a friend who mains the foz and it's definitely nice comboing her with the tiger and mind controlling entire rooms

fair oasis
#

if you have a lot of energy regen you can put down like 2-3 fire floor trails

#

really fun to play fox

rare quest
#

why put down multiple fire trails
Use all 6 bars and create a single death zone

fair oasis
#

u can do both

#

if u have enough energy regen

inland glade
#

Alternative option: press Q as bunny once and blow up everything with Blade of Bloom

unreal horizon
#

Cuz it's zone 4 and you're competing to rush ahead at 400% move speed oneshotting

rare quest
#

time to do frame mission I guess

proper narwhal
#

seriously tho, I don't get the owl. Why would you spend so much time by trying to get a single decent primary skill activation?

slate pawn
#

Any opinions so far on the new Owl? OP,ok or mid?

fair oasis
#

if you win i would say its pretty fire

rare quest
harsh flower
#

I've read OP and "worse fox". I am not vibing so far, but also first time playing on Steam Deck so everything is weird

slate pawn
rare quest
#

it's like other heroes, but the power difference goes extreme in both ways

slate pawn
#

i think i will focus on the Raccoon

rare quest
#

either extremely OP, or extremely useless

slate pawn
#

or go back to Qin

proper narwhal
#

also what the hell are these symbold

unreal horizon
#

So curses seem great on him at least

fair oasis
#

the owl is fun tho

#

a lot of fun

rare quest
#

(in that image case, it's assumed as legendary)

proper narwhal
rare quest
#

yeah

fair oasis
#

But it just think the nona is so overpowered

#

litteraly thanos character

#

immortal

rare quest
#

it's for the astroaspect draw calculation

fair oasis
#

I don't know why the mech can revive her

proper narwhal
#

BTW is it just me or should you just not pick up common scrolls as the owl?

harsh flower
#

Yeah Nona might be contender for the most consistent single player character

rare quest
#

you can pick up common scrolls

rare quest
#

in fact, just take all the scrolls

fair oasis
#

like UNNIRONICALLY

#

cant lose

rare quest
#

Cursed, too

fair oasis
#

when a cc immune target with 2k hp is reviving u

#

it WILL

#

always revive u

#

its litteraly better at reviving

harsh flower
#

There is a scenario where both of you get rushed down at the same time and you failed to pick up any healing stuff for your buddy...

fair oasis
#

than other players

proper narwhal
harsh flower
#

Like I didn't win in my one attempt at spiritual assault

fair oasis
#

because its cc immune

#

it will never fail

rare quest
#

you get, like, two upgrade per stages

fair oasis
#

unless it was low from before hand

#

but if you have half a braincell the mech is pretty much always full hp

slate pawn
rare quest
#

this is the result of one of my Owl run

#

I literally take everything

#

and the chance to draw common aspect? 2%

harsh flower
#

Anyone figure out what "Howl" on the new gun does?

junior wave
#

alright boyos i was bored so

inland glade
#

Completely unrelated but:

Why the hell does Enhanced Glazed Sight retain its 'cannot discard' flag

#

There's no gimmick at that point that would warrant that

unreal horizon
#

Bro you know why

inland glade
#

No, I don't, because it logically makes no sense

#

The regular version sure, so you can't reset the hit count before you lose two thirds of its effectiveness

fair oasis
#

i wish the game let me see the spiritual blessing for the other gamemode

unreal horizon
#

Because they just copy pasted Glazed Sight when they made the enhanced scroll from being lazy duh

glad iris
fair oasis
#

i want to know what the ones for the new characters are but i cant

proper narwhal
#

BTW how do you gain sscroll upgrades on the owl?

inland glade
#

But with the enhanced one dynamically scaling the bonus with HP there's no reason for it

glad iris
#

Especially in SA on the final wave.

fair oasis
#

SA?

harsh flower
#

Spiritual Assault

#

That wave got me too

fair oasis
#

well i just meant in normal mode

#

you are pretty much thanos

glad iris
#

Your robot will most likely get destroyed after reviving you.

fair oasis

in normal?

Does Owl even function in Spiritual Assault?

fair oasis
junior wave
#

ah maybe one day

fair oasis
#

that simple

heavy prawn
#

ive been doing the owl for a solid hour now and he seems insanely complex and rng dependant but I do kinda love it

fair oasis

im still just waiting for a character that can teleport or fly

main forum
heavy prawn
#

well nightmare rn

#

im working on learning him and getting essence to finish upgrading

proper narwhal
#

yeah so.
I like neither of the new characters
Owl is just way too complex and gimmicky to play actively
and Nona is OP as fuck

alpine umbra
quasi arrow
alpine umbra
#

play around the secondary

heavy prawn
#

No like

junior wave
#

its more of a translation issue if you ask me

heavy prawn
#

my run isnt an hour doge_kek

fair oasis
#

the understatement of the century

alpine umbra

i love nona lmao

main forum

Nona is just place down the mech

Is Nona that op?

Wait for 5 secs

one blessing makes the mech immortal

if u ask me nona is the ability

#

the mech is the hero

main forum
alpine umbra
#

ya

#

and a LOT of bonus damage

fair oasis
#

when nona bumps into thanos. He appoligizes and gives nona his wallet

main forum
alpine umbra
#

isn't that the single strongest %dmg thing in the game?

main forum
#

The mech's the problem

alpine umbra
#

since you can easily get 2k+ hp

main forum
#

How much is the increase again

fair oasis
alpine umbra
#

1% per 1hp

fair oasis
#

in the text

junior wave
#

well the thing is we dont know what the actual base damage is tho

fair oasis
#

implying that is ALL DMG

main forum
fair oasis
#

than she litteraly

alpine umbra
#

yep.

vapid crag
#

First impression of owl is that I have no idea what's going on

junior wave
#

cuz 2000% of 0 is just 0

fair oasis
#

the best Sniper launcher skill ability elemental character in the entire game

#

i hope that its just missleading text and that its just the dmg of the mech if not

alpine umbra
fair oasis
#

she is litteraly best any purpose character

alpine umbra
#

dead cuz i bumped into silly elites lol

proper narwhal
main forum
alpine umbra

accidentally made them immortal with interdependent fortunes

And that's all you need to do

junior wave
vapid crag

Nona seems pretty powerful

alpine umbra
junior wave
#

one minute you take no damage

#

and then u get smacked with like 300+

main forum
alpine umbra
#

oh nah i survived for solid 4 minutes i just couldn't kill them

main forum
#

She doesn't even need to show up to fight the enemies

fair oasis
#

also im not really sure how proximity dmg works for the mech

main forum
#

Just come a minute late to every fight

fair oasis
#

Do you have to be close to the target or does the mech

main forum
#

And you'll still win

junior wave
#

nona gets unilimited solo revives

fair oasis
junior wave
fair oasis
#

you cant fail a revive

#

when its CC immune

#

and has 2k hp

alpine umbra
#

ya

fair oasis
#

litteraly better than actual players at reviving

main forum
alpine umbra
#

and regens like 200 a second

main forum
#

You still have a spirit essence revive

fair oasis
#

because players can fail from cc

#

the mech never will

junior wave
#

even then ull probably have the ascension where if mech dies it respawns with no cd

fair oasis
#

the one where hes immortal

#

if ur alive

prime rose
#

This is pretty good

main forum
fair oasis
#

yeah its like u said mech can only die in spiritual assault

junior wave
#

oh ye if its fire mode u dont take it

fair oasis
#

in a normal stage there is simply not enough enemies to kill a 2k hp target

junior wave
#

strike mode suicide bombing is fun tho

fair oasis
#

and no boss has enough dmg to kill the mech

main forum
#

For fire mode the thing where it shoots 16 missiles on a 10 sec cooldown

#

And -1 sec cooldown per rocket/secondary skill hit

junior wave
#

or you can become the meech realshit

main forum

Very fair and balanced

main forum

Is that

Shield bar

rare quest
fair oasis

is that the fox?

main forum

I think its owl

it was owl

ah ic

Or tiger

fair oasis

but even then right

main forum

Left most part shows white/light blue character

lucid coral

create bullet on crit hit with porcupine doesnt seem to work

main forum
#

I do love how all of the characters have these nice names but nobody actually uses most of them

junior wave
#

people go with the easiest one

#

that why nona is called nona

#

and not raccoon tanuki dog

fair oasis
#

idk i just feel like when you think of summoner class in games

#

their clear glaring weakness

#

is that if you defeat the summoner you win

#

but thats just not the case with nona

#

she has 0 weaknesses

inland glade
main forum

True

The only reason I remember them is cuz I speak the language LOL

on the other side they are like 3 letter chinese names

Can Mech apply painkiller?

main forum
#

If you have your mech on turret mode and somehow manage to die

#

You will actually time out

junior wave

nona is op because her power is 100% uptime and no cooldown on revive

fair oasis
#

it comes chase u

#

in turret

slate pawn
alpine umbra
#

how tf do you swap modes for the mech

fair oasis
#

how does it like

junior wave
#

they could just make it so robot dies

fair oasis
#

not have a cooldown

junior wave
#

and goes on 20s cd

main forum
junior wave
#

as normal

alpine umbra
#

ahh cheers

main forum
#

I actually added a secondary keybind for that just because of nona

rain vale
#

So basically we have Moze in the game now

main forum
#

For quick movement

junior wave
#

its more like someone brought their pet bastion

main forum
#

With a 13 second cooldown, infinite duration andmax of 3 stacks with a max 1 active

junior wave
#

the best part about this game

#

is theres still a dlc 3

main forum
#

Considering the power of the DLC characters

#

I'm not gonna be surprised when those characters are OP as heck at first

junior wave
#

most of the power creeped charcters are op

#

release tiger had fastest movement speed and insane dmage

#

meanwhile cat was slow as hell

main forum
#

To then be nerfed once devs realize the characters just clear stages by doing nothing except pressing E once

junior wave
#

3.0 move speed could barely do puzzle rooms

#

though its better to be broken on realease i think

main forum
junior wave
#

otherwise no one would play

main forum
#

Makes more people buy the DLC I guess

junior wave
#

theres other games i play where a character is underpowered on release and gets buffed like 5 times

main forum
#

FOMO + OP character impulse buy with only 10% off

junior wave
#

and still considered bad

#

while having the second highest damaging ult

main forum
heavy prawn
#

also question because im confused

#

what does the Blue Buff do to Owl's Ult

junior wave
heavy prawn
#

Cause Purple does the massive aoe, Yellow does the StarFall. What does blue do?

junior wave
#

can walk out of it but if u were to get stuck in it ur health bar is gone

main forum
#

Blue is full normal?

#

Or is blue impure

heavy prawn
#

full nromal

main forum
#

Haven't even played the owl yet

ancient bison
#

Blue is normal, a weird pale grey is impure

harsh flower
#

Finally back at computer. Time to really test those new characters

junior wave
#

grey is impure, blue is normal, purple is rare, yellow is legend, red is "wild" which is just legendary with added effects

main forum
heavy prawn
#

so from what im hearing

#

Nona is just Air Raider from EDF5

#

you can play one handed and still easily win

main forum
#

I mean you could play one handed

harsh flower
#

I've tried her on the Steam Deck but the small screen and no mouse just felt weird af to play

main forum
#

Buy you still need to press W or E every once in a while, as well as look around before pressing E

junior wave
#

too many button presses

#

wheres my auto play button

main forum
#

You want release day Li or smt?

junior wave
#

need spore rainbow levels of broken

#

also the fact the brick is a sniper is probably the best thing ever

rare quest
proper narwhal
rare quest
#

yes

#

and if you get the chance, you only need 1 legendary

proper narwhal
#

yup.

rare quest
#

which is why you want to be aggressive in scrolls

#

take everything

#

except maybe the FnB + Paranormality

proper narwhal
#

does the chance for normal astroaspects go down significantly later in the run?

junior wave
#

take it all

rare quest
#

yeah

proper narwhal
#

ok

#

and how do you earn upgrades? I couldn't fiind that

vapid crag
#

No overconsumption for owl

rare quest
#

I'm currently doing the frame mission with Normal scrolls only, see the chance

#

75% for Rare

junior wave
west sedge
#

Howdo you upgrade scrolls in the owls backpack?

rare quest
#

you choose the upgrade strategy

proper narwhal
#

yeah how DO YOU upgrade the cards XD

junior wave
#

blessing in disguise gives two btw

rare quest
#

notice the purple icon

#

that means the scroll rarity is assumed to be Rare

proper narwhal
#

OH. The R3 thing that isn't translated from Chinese

heavy prawn
#

Oh so if it has the purple gem on it, it's assumed rare

#

that makes sense

rare quest
#

also, I just realized. Upgrading from normal to legendary cost 2 upgrade points

proper narwhal
#

so you get 1 upgrade point at the start of stage 1, 2 in stage two, etc?

rare quest
#

only got 10 legendary-upgraded scrolls with it, instead of 20 Rare-upgraded

harsh flower
#

So switching the mode just re-does the entire inventory?

fair oasis
#

i didnt check but can they double upgrade

junior wave
#

cant reroll twice

rare quest
#

literally the image above

fair oasis
#

like can a normal end up as legendary with enough upgrades?

proper narwhal
junior wave
#

i just said u get 1 + 1 per acension

rare quest
#

you get 2 upgrade point

#

per stages

#

and 1 reset

obtuse saffron
proper narwhal
fair oasis
#

im still not sure if taking everything is worth it

rare quest
#

no plus

#

it's from talent

fair oasis
#

pretty sure its still bad

rare quest
obtuse saffron
rare quest
#

no

#

wait

#

you mean resetting?

proper narwhal
heavy prawn
#

@rare quest do you know what the Blue Effect does to the ult? At this point i think it's just bonus damage but im, not entirely sure

obtuse saffron
fair oasis
heavy prawn
#

ok yea I was right

fair oasis
#

even a rare that is useless is bad

heavy prawn
#

ok thanks

proper narwhal
fair oasis
#

you want scroll that give you thing you want

rare quest
#

it's not bugged, it does damage twice

fair oasis
#

and be very picky liek you are playing overconsumption

bright quest
# rare quest

reroll scroll for a chance at a differnt, better scroll

harsh flower
#

There is "Upgrading" which changes the assumed rarity and is indepentend from the "reset" (<- Reroll) which allows you to reroll a scroll with a chance to increase it's tier

rare quest
harsh flower
#

I think

fair oasis
#

u just have to be picky with everything execpt legendaries

#

u can hoard all of those

obtuse saffron
#

Meaning you upgraded it?

rare quest
obtuse saffron
#

Got it

#

ok ty for explaining

rare quest
#

it's only for this

obtuse saffron
#

So you want to upgrade the ones without icons to get the icons you are looking for esstentially?

rare quest
#

no

#

ignore icons for resetting

#

when you reset, you just reroll based on it's original rarity

#

even if I reset this, it's still a reroll for Normal rarity or above

fair oasis
#

also what do you guys think about the trasncendent arsenal dream

#

personally not a fan

#

id rather have my scrolls

rare quest
fair oasis
#

i feel like it could be really op for monkey tho

slate flare
#

you can keep upgrading a weapon infinitely with that no?

fair oasis
#

yeah

#

idk it seems like

#

not balanced at all

slate flare
#

i want a lvl 1000 brick on toiger PauseChamp

rare quest
#

someone said the level is reset

#

I haven't tested myself

slate flare
#

oh

fair oasis
#

that would make sense

slate flare
#

to like the level of the current gun when picking it up perhaps

fair oasis
#

its just for the traits

#

even then its still kinda lame

rare quest
#

but considering you still keep all those Inscriptions...

fair oasis
#

id rather have the scrolls

slate flare
#

yeah, ill leave it off too. its cool but also i want scrolls

fair oasis
#

i do like the other one tho

#

the fusion adds some spicy varriety

rare quest
#

Li with Pyrodominance

last shoal
#

does anyone know If I play pistol with nona and I have a fire and a corrosive weapon with the elemental share ascension will the mecha get both elements?

prime rose
#

Pretty decent run

grand tendon
#

How do man get the upgrades from the owl character?

rare quest
fair oasis
#

huh

#

yeah the element share is for you off weapon

it def feels like the owl has a weak early but a dominating late

Quick question, what new map is there for spiritual assault? I haven't seen anything yet

prime rose

I usually go for high Rare chance, since Primary build with [Star Compass] blessing is great with it

Card Storm was pretty good too with kunai for nuking elites and bosses

rare quest
tight wyvern

i might

#

i'm way more interested in nona than owl

cobalt dock

just got Projectile Stacking Star ring

#

anyone tried that?

rare quest
#

no

slate pawn
#

what i find extremely annoying of Zi is that i need to move my eyes down there t check the cards combination,and that may get my character killed by a simple distraction

rare quest
#

how was it?

last shoal
#

yeah I have no idea what owl does I got lost in reading her abilities and talents 10 times each

slate pawn
#

im trying everything right now

Special Ammo is a comically overpowered scroll

slate pawn
#

i found one that is just hold the left click

last shoal

is there an easy way of explaining wth is going on with it? 😄

prime rose

So you mean to tell me if I have a Projectiles +1 sniper, right

prime rose

But I'll keep that in mind

alpine sinew
rare quest
#

I'm currently doing Primary build right now, and I don't bother checking the Aspect. I just cast it empty

I consume 8 large ammo per shot for +96% Lucky Shot Chance?

How do man get the upgrade thing on the owl?

Who thought that was okay?

alpine sinew

I read it earlier, it REALLY helps

slate pawn

i was thinking something like this for the UI,but i played little for Zi so could be useless

cobalt dock
#

holy, magshare is Total dmg

rare quest
#

question for that, does Mag share have cap?

lucid coral
#

i mean its good, id still rather have RoF for the utility

#

functionally no but im pretty sure your limited to two 160 mag weapons

#

unless you can roll 100% and 60% increased mag on a 80 mag weapon

cobalt dock
#

where do you stash btw?

rare quest
#

well, that's still huge

#

stash weapon?

#

there's usually a vault on the last area before Boss in act 3 and act 4 (iirc)

#

and when you clear it, instead of the usual treasure chest, it has a dude

cobalt dock
#

thought desert was included

rare quest
#

oh, ok

#

so when you clear those vault, there's a red blacksmith-like dude near the end portal

fair oasis
#

im actualy not sure but I think lifesteal might work on the mech

cobalt dock

Surplus ain't shared anymore nooooooooo

Yeah, Owl is definitely confusing. I already got the hang of it after... 2 hours+

I didn't write the message so shout out to pvewaste on reddit for the guide!

usually it only took like the first run

Did anyone else get a Foundry elite vault?

ive done 4 runs with owl and im still lost...way to many new words that are not explained

granite gust
alpine sinew
proper narwhal
#

ok I just finished a run with the owl, and I found myself not using the primary skill at all. The cards themselves are EXTREMELY powerful

alpine sinew
#

And her gun wields more guns

granite gust
#

died after , mech clipped couldnt heal me

alpine sinew
#

I tried SO HARD last night to get a "hold secondary to spam rockets" upgrade, but I never saw it

#

looks awesome

granite gust
#

it was really fun, i do like hero a lot so i'll be maining her for a long ass while

tight wyvern
#

it's insane when you get 40 capacity from scrolls AND the blessings + upgrades that boost the damage on it

alpine sinew
#

I'm gonna be trying a "mech damage only" run soon

granite gust
#

that a good idea

#

do strike mode only too

tight wyvern
#

that's how i got my nona frame

alpine sinew
#

who needs nona when you got a chicken!

Gonna be calling the chicken Jerald and play them from now on

sit in the back and the chickum do the work!

His name is now Jerald

also nona doesnt seem to have any unique spiritual links

lucid coral
proper narwhal
#

it's just not worth using the primary skill, and caring about alinging the symbols

stray lava
#

how exactly does owl work the ability descriptions are kind of confusing me

rare quest
#

Owl primary build requires you to play not the way you expected

#

you don't setup for it, you just gamble it

#

I thought I want to do like keep the slots to 3 and try to get as many rare as possible

#

I do get the rare part correct

#

but mostly you just gamble it from empty

lucid coral
#

i mean you can basically get pure legendary/wild with explosive hand every time

rare quest
#

yeah, because explosive card lets you draw the same as the previous aspect

#

meaning you just put it in Legendary Most and you'll draw 3 legendary, even if it's only 20%

granite gust
#

In other words right now, play the owl like gambit the superhero

rare quest
#

but on primary build, you want to focus on a single rarity

granite gust
#

fling cards

rare quest
#

usually Rare Most

lucid coral
#

im probably just gonna take the fling cards approch with a fast firing weapon

west sedge

Its been constructing iron wing for about 5 minutes

how it feels to play owl early game
