The eyes are pretty cool still tbh, but I was hoping for maneki-neko as well. Also opened up to go for the new character again and uh




guess I can't ever play the game again


edit: uh, I think evo Cats actually eats floor gems? I only barely made it to level 50 from 47 after a full 15 minutes when I evo'd them. I was kinda set at that point but it seems kinda crippling if you beeline it for your first evo.

Yes, definitely seems like less exp with it, I just ended a castle w/ 135k kills and was only level 77, did have 12k gold though

I ended my first run with the cat evo with over 120k.

It definitely did eat a lot of XP, but that is an absurd amount of money. I do have every metaprogression upgrade maxed out, though

Since the addition of cat evo/gold rush, there's sure a lot of gold in everyone's account.

Why not use that gold in a gold powered weapon. There are weapons out there in shooters, but using the theme the dev decides Dante's Dr. Faust from DMC5

The weapon in DMC5 is a risk/ reward weapon where you burn your in game currency to make your enemies leak currency. The better you do doing damage with it, the more currency you get.

It also lets you put the hat on any enemy. Want to put the hat on a demon bee? Done. What about a 20 foot tall demon? Yep. What about your lovely brother? Especially and definitely yes.

edit: mb

So new character's weapon is okay, it's kind of neat in how it's targeted but overall the damage isn't great.

Her trait of 1% area per level though is kind of insane. By level 100 and with candle lv5 everything is just massive. Standing in the middle of La borra and Evo'd garlic and I don't think anything got within 3 character lengths of me in the last 10 minutes of the round.

I unfortunately got it as my first upgrade, so it hosed me because I was stuck at level 40. I really can't see every upgrading this again unless it's the very end of the run or there's some gimmick gold-farming strat.

Yeah the XP loss and low damage means I'll probably never upgrade the cats again, money hasn't been an issue for several patches.

I assume since Curse ups the spawn-rate you can also earn more XP because you get to kill more creatures.

You can also consider saving an attractorb pick-up until the 29:30 mark. That might be tricky if your item build is not good enough yet to stay in one place. I think it will pretty much guarantee you hitting level 100 if you can pull it off tho.

Just did this by accident and good lord, yeah lol. I had already broken 100 anyway and was on a busted run, but yeah that's a lot of XP.

hosed up something in the death kill with leda and only got it once there were 4 deaths on screen. Maybe the first one got pushed too far in the wall and I wasn't hitting it. Got it in the end though so thats all that matters

Not sure if it bugged out, or I had another interaction that prevented it, or what, but I tried out evolved cats on Hyper Library and definitely didn't experience the gold gain everyone else is reporting. I evolved them pretty early, had maxed out luck and stone mask, and at 30 minutes I had a little over 6k gold when normally I'd probably clear with 5k or so. I definitely noticed my XP getting "eaten" or whatever though, I was very low level at the end.

I really hope they raise the price to $5 when it hits 1.0, it's worth it :v:

The new weapon is super fun, I think they finally figured out how to incentivize moving around at high levels instead of just planting yourself and letting the XP crystals build up. And infinite scaling area is really fun as well, you can get GIANT la borra puddles all the time.

I got 20k from a single gold fever near the end and well into 6 figures total on my first run trying out evolved drill and evolved cats on my first run with the new character. had both wands and axe evolved + clock lancet since I wanted to go for 31 minutes but hosed it up. used awake (and killed off all my revives + 2x tiragisu early), the fire wand explosion arcana and the fire wand bounce arcana.

Is Lancet the trick for 31 minutes? I had it on a run this morning and made it to 30:21 in Hurry Hyper mode, makes sense you can just get lucky and freeze the ghost a few more times. I guess you would want to avoid Hyper mode and curses so it doesn't get the move speed boost too?

I like how you can sprint and then turn for an street sweeper or run full tilt at a guy and stop for a massive single target laser barrage.

Yeah lancet + extra lives let you survive past 30 for quite a while.

Actually I think the very first time I made it to 30 I had both (because I was so new to the game I didn't know they were considered "bad") and was very confused about what was going on.

Yep, Lancet and good timing will get you to 31. If you run into trouble come back and read this for easymode: Laurel + lancet + a couple of revives will get you 31 minutes super trivially and adding cooldown and duration will only make it easier.



Anyway I hear you guys like cats:

I used Lancet and Laurel both, on top of the character that gains +1% duration every level. Ended lasting almost an extra 10 minutes.

On the other hand Magic Survival makes you watch ads when you die/revive/end a game unless you buy an option to get rid of that (which I would have bought if I'd decided to play it multiple times in a single sitting). And is a lot grindier.

I just feel like VS is so much more refined than MS in terms of QoL.

Vs isn't a clone, not really, it's just the same genre of game.
