edit : got impatient and said yes, it turns out to be some sort of pvp mode where you fight other buriedbornes (player data i guess?)

That's correct. It's hard, but rewards fragments of death

Just FYI for Archero: Bosses are randomly assigned. You can quit out of a boss fight, and come back to a different boss. Really useful for cheesing past that awful jumping tree boss in zone 4.

When you do this, if you have any powerups that circle around you, you lose them when you open it back up.

I have seen 3 different ads for AFK Arena and none of them showed the same gameplay as any of the others.
This is sort of how I felt about the FFXV game, I used to get ads from Sim City which made it look like a tower defense game, another ad made it look like total war clone, and there was another that made it look like a princess dress up doll game.

I always like the tower defense one because there are like four games that use that exact same ad, just rethemed.

Huh critical damage in the Godzilla tapper game is different then I expect. It started out as 2x but it seems to ramp up really fast.

I have an artifact that gives me +400% critical damage which I thought would just give me 5x damage but I have 10x.



You can see my normal damage of a trooper dealing ~1bb but the critical dealing ~10bb Then I add in +562.5% critical damage card and then my damage is now 65x



Now my damage is up to ~65bb. I'm not sure how the math works out but critical damage might be insane in this game.

Archero talk (and no there's not enough content to warrant it's own thread) - the spinning orbs seem infinitely more useful than the swords. I don't know if the swords have more damage or not, but I NEVER want to be in sword range to an enemy if I can help it, and the orbs give more like double the range to pick off things through walls. Weird that orbs unlock long before swords..

Yeah I generally try to avoid orbs & swords at all costs if I can but found that you can do a little shimmy around the enemy you're hitting to hit them more quickly with the orbs than if you just stood there and waited for them to rotate. I guess basically just circling around the enemy in the opposite direction the orbs are rotating is how you do this. You're super up close which is why I avoid getting those but I have a green chestpiece with +7% dodge and don't think I'll ever change it because having killing blows miss every now and then has saved me so many times.

Ever since I got to World...uh, 4(?) (the mines) I've been doing real poorly. Somehow made it through World 3 on my second attempt, I assume it's created an imbalance where I'm too weak to really take on any of these enemies. I can't even make it to the second boss. Also I feel like the skill selection is worse - it's not that there are too many new skills now, I don't even see those ones. Now all I'm getting is the elemental arrows, swords, and orbs. Maybe a backwards arrow too.

I had to grind my way through world 3 and even I'm having issues with world 4. At this point I think I need better gear because I've got all the skills unlocked so there's no major boost from that side.

World 4 has a lot of gently caress you enemies and bosses, I loving hate it when the scattershot pea pod and the thing which summons meteors spawn in the same room. There's no way you're going out without taking some damage.

You can tap on the world icon in the center of the screen to get a menu that lets you go back and forth between worlds to grind upgrades in the older stuff if you need to.

3 kicked my rear end until i went back to the boomerang, I almost beat 3 on one of my first tries but died to the final boss when it had less than 1 hits worth of life left. 4 is currently kicking my rear end.

I almost beat 3 but had to get off the train lol, every other attempt the skeleton molotov guys have aoekilled me because they start throwing before they spawn and you can't move away in time because the hitbox is enormous

Okay after more testing on the Godzilla tapper, critical builds are definitely the way to go. I can one shot bosses that I can't even dent with +600 attack increase then 48x dps damage. Level 2 Destoryah perfect Form gives a whopping +1500% critical damage atto turrets and airplanes.

What rarity bat do you have? I got one of him but I've been using a ghost that lobs bombs and some floaty death thing that throws scythes, but the ghost and bat are both green so they kinda suck.

Buriedbornes is awesome, thanks to the chorus of folks bringing it up. It's a little inscrutable at first but it's really fun and addictive. Not sure if it's the case, but my runs always seem to go way way better if I pick up a piece of equipment with Frenzy...it's the only thing that seems imbalanced / overpowered so far

Frenzy is strong until you get into harder dungeons and start using specialized builds that require skills being used in a certain order. It's always fun to see your guy spam Wait and See 12 times in a row.
