weapons i like to have for lil hunter: auto crossbow, super crossbow, assault slugger, gatling slugger, lightning hammer um. that's probably it. usually a 5-10 second fight.

if you get in his face he won't attack and fly off instead. this isn't 100% though so don't @ me if it fails

best trick with hunter is to stay in his face
if you go too far away from him he starts using the slugger that fires really fast lines of bullets at you which is by far his hardest trick to dodge

i looped for real this time with chicken, i keep picking random and then get farthest with chicken. thank u heavy auto crossbow if you have full ammo on throne 2 the way to win is to hold down fire and twirl your stick around. then i immediately died on 1-1 because i shot the enemy next to me on reaction. it was a robo sniper oops. thank you fellow gamers for your support

every time i pick chicken the RNG just straight up loving decides its time to ruin me, like i get poo poo for weapon drops and start every area in a wide open exposed space
just havent ever had any good runs with chicken because of totally external poo poo, it's loving weird

chicken was the pro meta choice the last time i checked because ammo gets super sparse in the higher loops and her weapon throw is essentially infinite

i got really crap weapon drops thank u big chest on 5-3 for pop guns and smgs. but i got an gattling slugger and energy hammer with 99 ammo each from collecting ammo the whole game and not using it because of crap drops on 6-1. and a heavy auto cross bow on the throne room

pop gun isnt that bad though? pop rifle is lovely but gun will get you to at least the palace before you need something better

Yeah but normally if you grab a crown, you can get a Heavy AR by throne which does like 4x the damage of a pop rifle

i looped with rogue which was very stressful especially since all the drops were pretty bad until like 7-1 when i got a gattling slugger but i had her starting gun right until the throne room when i got something better. thank u hammerhead mutation a good way to run away from throne dogs is to run into a wall when your gattling slugger runs out of ammo and summon a portal strike.

i blew myself up with a portal strike on 1-3 tho ;-(

Her starting gun is strong and useful even into loops, with the proper mutations.

I finally reached the throne even though I had lovely weapons (crossbow right up to 7-2 where a splinter gun dropped, a shotgun thing called the Eraser I've never seen before). It went really well

admittedly I havent tried to loop ever but the bullet patterns for the throne are fairly sluggish. its the one part of the game that resembles a shmup because youre just in an unobstructed hallway of bullets and its easier than ones Ive tried to practice

i defeated the throne having blown up all 4 generators and i teleported to throne II (??) fight on a broken stone floating in space. i was playing as yv. no idea what i did. do you have to do that ever time to loop??

also, is it a bug that sometimes when i restart i begin on 1-3?? I wouldn't want to cheat to get to the throne but, like, the heck?
