I almost made it my last try. Bee-lined dragonfire collab with the leaf character which helped a lot but couldn't kill things fast enough at the end to get sapling drops (character specific heals) or avoid enough attacks to let her character specific shield stack up. I had headphones at 4 or 5 too. It's a meme build and I am not sure if this works just because I have maxed all the bonuses out, but on her I prefer to get the healing food super collab (spider cooking+lava bucket+sheep), the life steal horns, and the beetle to maximize her stabbing tree skill. Like her leaf primary is fine, last night they were hitting for like 60 damage each which isn't too bad if you factor in the multiple hits, but stabby trees were noncrit 200+ and with those items and saplings, there were a lot of stabby trees. Attack speed sticker, life-steal sticker if you can get it, and then whatever for the 3rd to be honest. Failboattootoot fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Nov 18, 2023 |

I had headphones at 4 or 5 too. Ah, yeah, her weapon is pretty handy for most of a run (removing the hit limit helps a lot, though there may be a bug that it doesn't happen until Awakening despite it being part of level 6), but it can fall off towards the end unless you're running the Solo sticker build and/or dumping anvil enhancements on it. For her builds in general, as Failboattootoot says, she benefits from all healing, so you get to double dip on damage and survivability. (Full Meal isn't useful for damage, since she doesn't care how much was healed, just how often, but it's okay from a survivability angle. I'd still recommend getting something else in that slot.) Picking up Plushie can do a ton for her, with it's delayed damage playing very well when stacking healing. Unlocking the Beetle (complete a stage without having any character Skills) is also significant, since it boosts damage from Skills. Finally, although it seems counterintuitive, Injection Asacoco can help too when picked up late. Even though it costs life every second (which doesn't trigger Fauna's shields), it's handily counteracted by all the healing so it's really just a hefty ATK boost.

To dovetail off of this because I forgot to say it in my original post but always get the feather if you can. I have played so much of this stupid game. 94 hours according to steam. I have all achievements except getting all the gachikois and I am like 16 runs from finishing those as well. To this day I will still occasionally flub a run through hubris. In fact I flubbed a Fauna one just the other day because I thought I was invincible and could ignore the screen for 3 seconds to type a quick message but no, died. Feather will protect you, it is the best. I take it basically every time, no matter what, JUST IN CASE. Though I'll be free of it after the gachikois since completion won't matter then.

So random out of nowhere post I know, but I wanted to write down some thoughts on the demos I've played so far for the Bullet Heaven Fest and if anybody has any suggestions for me based off these thoughts I'd sure love to hear them. Need to get back to playing the VS whiteout update and been loving Heretic's Fork and Sea of Survivors lately, if that ticks any boxes for some of the games I have yet to try or be made aware of. I wishlisted:
Ehh, maybe:
I actually just straight up uninstalled these after like an hour:

Halls of Torment feels pretty good now and I never thought I'd be sniffing at the 100% clear rate, a shame "kill ice beasts" and "kill ice ice" are such dull filler grinds. Making Norse and Shield Maiden REALLY work was fun, as was some of the secondary weapons. Huntress is just flat out good, I 100'd her in a single run.

Third World Reagan posted:You can't control what god appears for what powers.  Untrue. That is what alteration rolls are for. It will pick another god when used.quote:Gear grind Go to the shop and move items you want to get but can't afford into the reserved item section. Also, when you get one character really good, the final boss will seem to always drop at least two mythic items even on the lowest difficulty. Now for some cool stuff I was able to do in the game. I found that shrine that dumps your Adept and Expert chance skill for +4% master skill chance super early (adept and expert were already super high). I *fell* into a pet build when I got the Summoner Master level skill, which by the end of the game was at 190% summon damage.  Necromancy was at Master level as well, so the duration of the skeletons were lasting forever. It looked like West Side Story when I got to Baron.  Along with Mort, I got Soulstealers and Ravens for curses and took the Mort attack which will end the curse prematurely. There is a point during bosses when it's only them, and the ravens are constantly cursing it over again so each time you hit, you see the curse popping every time you hit. Big tip for those trying the game, you should. Another tip is to turn off auto-attack and fight when you want to fight. Your movement speed goes down when attacking, Some general tips
I can write more as I come up with more tips. EVIL Gibson fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Nov 23, 2023 |

Yeah Death Must Die is the only one of these games where I found myself turning off auto attack. The speed slowdown is a really big deal. Though justice does have that one upgrade where when you dash that negates that a fair bit. I like how each of the three fates relate to one of the three dice mechanics. Its a fun bit of flavor.

Snooze Cruise posted:Yeah I like that part of the game. It is a bad system op when you have gear and traits that say, increase summoning damage and you have very limited control to get summons to appear without blowing through a lot of rerolls and alteration dice You might as well give up early on the run if you don't get it

EVIL Gibson posted:Now for some cool stuff I was able to do in the game. Thanks for writing this up. I really liked the demo for this game but the EA release version is really unenjoyable for me for reasons I'm not entirely sure about. I think maybe the extra characters and gods have led to me spreading myself too thin when it comes to developing a character and style of build. I also don't love that certain items are bound to whoever equips them first. The stuff you outlined is helpful for having a goal to build toward. I wasn't paying enough attention to the equipment or the importance of reroll/banish/alter bonuses. I just got my first win and unlocked difficulty modifiers so hopefully finding better equipment is less of a grind.

"What're you gonna do, slam your staff into crowds?" YES.  MoM bonuses were 72/65/64 at the end, lmao. Thanks Phantom Needle Mastery for teaching me how to break the game. Still need 3500 double ice kills though.  Just spawn an infinite stream in a straight line at 10x density, tia.

I am actually mad her character was the first one to get the dragon autosummon piece of gear. My favorite is Skadi who meets her childhood hero, the barbarian, and fangirls all over him. He just says he's not as great as those stories and just a warrior. The interaction is the very definition of phrase, "never meet you heroes" but in a more wholesome way
