my favorite wand so far is the lightning wand which helpfully lights up the area around you, and also stunlocks you with shock effects if you ever accidentally dip it into water

blood insulates from fire like water, but it also gives you a bonus to crit chance if you're covered in it. as near as I can tell, berserk increases your damage output and might make it easier for enemies to notice you? i don't know if this game actually has a concept of stealth, though another thing i have learned: it's possible to burrow through the level dividers, which you can use to head back to higher levels, but it tends to rouse dangerous lich gods that hunt after you from there on out, seems sorta like the angry shopkeeper mechanic from spelunky e: also most importantly if you mouse over your status effects they'll tell you what they do. sometimes they're a bit cryptic but the tooltips have been quite useful for me so far

there's a projectile spell which casts the next spell slot in your wand at the end of its duration, which is the only way i've found so far to use spells like acid cloud without instantly killing yourself. has anybody else found other ways to make spells safer?

it's a shame the ice caves are so far down because the ice physics are incredibly fun. you can crack pretty much any size chunk of ice with a few bolts, and that lets you rain death on enemies or block them from reaching you easily.

so the area east of the first three sublevels is reserved for the elevator from the lava lake down to the ice caverns, but i still haven’t seen much of the areas to the west. i found a fungal cavern west of sublevel two, but it scared me so i didn’t explore any further than peeking at the color palette for a few seconds. it’s very blue

yeah i can sorta understand why you’re not allowed to loot all the spells out of wands for balance reasons, but i’m not here to play a balanced game. i’m here to scald all my skin off with a pentagram pattern of arrow bolts with acid trails

the player should start every game with a nuke, circle of acid, death cross, or other incredibly lethal spell in order to teach the player not to use everything they pick up without setting it up with an appropriate spell combo first

i'm beginning to suspect that the level generator tries to set wand rarity based on how easy it is to reach the wand. in my experience in the mines, wands lying around in a shaft will usually have a single bomb, basic fireball, or bouncy ball slotted. wands in trapped chambers (the ones with a box in the corner that activates fire or acid or something else when you pick up the wand) will have three or four attack spells or various projectile modifiers, and wands fully enclosed in rock will have the wild poo poo like 14 nukes or sea of acid. might be obvious to other people but i only just started catching on a few runs ago

i think shuffle wands should be replaced with random wands, which have no recharge stat and instead cast from a random slot every time the wand is fired. if the random slot is a mod, a new slot is picked and it continues from there

Ass_Burgerer posted:So there's this giant worm in the ice zone that can dig through everything, even temple bricks, which in turn pisses off the gods into hatemurdering you before the next level. for everyone having trouble with this, there's no requirement that you fight the temple god between floors if you've pissed them off. You'll get messed up if you try to slip past them in the perk room, so lure them into the shop area with a little more ceiling room and then run past to the next level. after you take your perk the cave in will trap the skelegod into the shop and you'll be good to go for another floor it's not 100% foolproof, and you'll probably take some hits on the way to the next floor, but it should never be an instant KO before you even get to see anything new

personally i find the base to be way less dangerous than the caves, because it’s much easier to set up a chokepoint that lets you deal with your problems one at a time also no lightning devils

here's another fun one:

speaking of homing, it makes an absolute mess of the black hole spell. it can't hurt enemies, but it'll accelerate toward them anyway, which can triple the amount of digging you get out of a single cast. or make it bounce away from where you're trying to aim

Black August posted:They really, really, really, REALLY need to lock down the pits from the temple going into the next level, and stop enemies from even approaching the shaft that would be a smart choice but i hope they'll keep the toxic sludge pool that seems to have at least a 50% chance of spawning below the coal pit entrance, because it's really funny when i'm in a hurry and dunk straight into it

something interesting i've found is a semi-reliable way to refill your health to maximum once without the need to enter the holy mountain, which lets you explore the overworld more safely. in the dark area west of the collapsed mine, there's a bonus health pickup and a full health refill. it's a pain to find without light, but if you toss bombs around you can usually find it without too much bumbling around

the bigger issue is that that wand has a 20% chance of shooting nukes above and below you at the same time, which seems less than ideal

something important to understand about wands with trigger/timer spells is that the mana for the entire chain of casts is consumed up-front, and if there isn’t enough mana for the whole chain it will only cast as many as it can before running out. unless the mana cap/recharge on the wand is insanely high you’ll only get a full chain once or twice, after which you’ll only get double or single casts if you hold down the cast button

the big green mucus monster rules because you can leave it alone and it generally won’t bother you at all, so you have full control over whether or not to Release the Acid

it took a while to get used to the shotgun guys. i figured that the shotgun cock would be when they lock onto your current location, but instead they just fire directly at you no matter where you go or how far away you are. they can get some absurdly long shots off

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Speaking of glass cannon, this is your irregular reminder that if you have it, be very careful with using bombs to dig. if you get glass cannon the way to go is starting each level by firing three bombs off the ledge leading to the next level and hide in the perk room until they go off. then you can start every level halfway down with no worries about explosions killing you

much like most enemies in this game lightning elementals will aim at the exact spot you're at when they launch the projectile (with a few degrees of spread), which means you want to be moving perpendicular to the path of any potential projectile. if you're above or below, be moving left or right at all times, and if you're to either side, be moving up or falling whenever you're in view. using falling speed is a good way to bait out and dodge an attack, and then you should have enough time to burn the elemental down or get to safety before the next attack the attack has a pretty big aoe, so you want to be in the air and away from walls or ceilings to avoid being clipped even if you dodge the attack
