clearly the solution is to rename it Pistol, and make the sprite be a fully modern handgun

they basically just gave them horns and better mace aptitude so i wouldn't really consider them gone

Why not just give the better mace apt and drunken swing to ogres though

Sorry but this sounds sick as hell. It's like it's still a hand crossbow but now it's powder-actuated.

Manifold Assault will trigger more unrandart effects. Time to roll a mummy warper and find scepter of torment! I don't believe there is a better combo than Manifold + Snakebite because you can apply a ton of magical effects on targets in 0.5 aut then explode them with Yara's Violent Unraveling but multiple torments while rolling with immunity sounds so nice

had a really embarrassing death where orbs of fire spammed malmutate so much that I lost all the rF Jiyva had so graciously provided me, and missed it in the message spam. Was very confused why the orb that got me was so much tough than the ones I had tabbed through and didn't figure it out till I was looking at the morgue file.

This is why I can never play characters that rely on mutation resists, I always end up dying to something dumb like that

Re-asking a question that I never really got a great answer for:

What the hell is the EPC Overcharger OC good for? Especially now with flying nightmare dealing heat damage and therefore able to effectively one-shot grunt waves, I don't see any point to the OC, even for 'vanilla' charged shots (whatever you'd use those for, too)

Wrong dungeon branch, bud.

Oni drunken brawl has changed my mind about potion quaffing at low-HP. I really want to try and get the autumn katana on this character. Has anyone ever used that weapon with Wu Jian? Does the Manifold Assault trigger on whirlwind attacks? Because if so, and it does the same trigger on drunken swing, I'll be playing this species for a long time! Dark Maul is another big pickup for this species I'd guess.

honestly i think your best bet is just a giant spiked club because on turns you're not chugging it'd be better and the chug-cleave of a +9 giant club is still enough to splatter everything

they should just make it trigger on every potion, really, so that there could finally be someone who could actually use potions of degeneration for something.

Oni^Gozag should be able to swing a Dark Maul three times in 1AUT with a Curing/Heal Wounds/Magic potion petition. I found the Frostbite axe which is giving me smite targeted freezing clouds with Manifold Assault.

or, ooh, Wu Jian is cool with rampages now...

Goddamn, I am so bad at this game now, and at playing a cinder acolyte. I keep abandoning ignis too early but I'm worried about waiting too long to switch and gimping myself. I guess switching to usk would be perfect, right?

It is absolutely insane, like getting free Ambrosia healing without the confusion. I had fifteen regen per turn with gear at one point.
