If you're doing it on difficulty 5 without building up your skill tree, you want to freeze them at all time or you'll just get a game over from the constant assault Yeah, that's why Dreamy uses Herta in the video. I think she also has one of those "implant ice weakness" blessings

Oh. In order to unlock everything on the path of trailblazer for the Swarm (except for the final node) it will takes at minimum 140 runs. Well, at least this is a permanent event and it's pretty fun to do!

That sounds about right. I mean people have been complaining about not having enough to do and what better way to keep us busy haha. I’ll throw my hat in and say I’ve been enjoying the new mode. Only did up to difficulty 3 since I realized you don’t get the 1 & 2 rewards so I went to go do that and knock out some blessing completions.

It's nice having a long term goal that doesn't require stamina so I can just play whenever. Previously that had been filling out the SU index and achievements, but I finished that a while ago. The new mechanics are pretty interesting too. I like how the way you progress across the board feels pretty different for the different paths. Like jumping ahead to take out trotters for the Hunt, or meandering through every blessed zone you get for the Abundance.

It's even funnier because the Nihility/Propagation interplay is just "everyone is Budget Kafka now" Previously Pela/Nat autos were just to trigger Kafka follow-up or generate SP but nope, now they are legitimate damage sources

I'm just not looking forward to doing 20 elation runs. I don't know why, I just simply never really liked follow up attacks. It's like I'm not in control and it's just like semi-autoing itself.

It's like I'm not in control and it's just like semi-autoing itself. Once you get the "Ultimates count as follow-ups" this isn't really the case. It is a lot more fun if you have any decent follow-up characters, though. Having both Blade and Clara makes it very silly.

Hell, I even get a lot of value doing Elation runs with March, Herta, and Himeko, who... aren't quite as good as Blade or Clara. Elation honestly might be my favorite path. Especially against that stupid loving deer.

Yeah he addresses it and prioritizes blessings that lower res. In fact he suggests a starter team (to carry you through the rest of the stages), and then a final boss team. He also claims that's his reliable day-1 strat with no tree upgrades. I hadn't tried it out yet because I've been slammed with work the past couple weeks, but I'll give it a whirl (no Herta pun intended) this weekend and report back.

I think I'm okay with unreliable since it's just one-time rewards, and 'unreliable' is a part of the roguelike experience after all. I'd be annoyed if I had to non-stop farm this thing.

Blade and DHIL with Abundance is extremely funny. Abundance can just poo poo skill points everywhere so IL is always going off. There's a synergy with Propagation as well!

I'm skeptical that you can actually do meaningful damage even with that, given stat inflation at the higher levels.

Do you get any rewards from each individual run of the new SU thing, or only for reaching the various milestones? I like how in regular SU you're at least always getting ornament relics.

Especially against that stupid loving deer. Yeah, Elation was my first path to let me hit >300,000k damage. Nihility is good as well, but I think Elation might have more potential for insane damage if you manage to pick up all the Aftertaste stuff.

Or alternatively: ludicrously large numbers are their own reward. I mean, that's enough of a dopamine hit for me to boot it up again every once in awhile.

To unlock those golden nodes, apparently you have to choose the path dialog after you defeat the elite bosses when the option show up, for 20 times total
