Finally made it to Covenant 25 by random-randoming! Tbh I wish C25 was something more exciting than extra health on Seraph, I like how StS handles A20 a lot more.

Still, I really like this game. Being forced to experiment with new synergies by randoming is awesome, my C24 win was with Stygian-Umbra, who I hadn't previously won with. It turns out combining the double incant artifact, sap totems and holdover/no consume excavated embers is brokenly good. Seraph didn't even touch me lol

I have now beaten the game at Cov 25 with all 20 base combinations. In that time, I haven’t seen the bone doggo a single time.

FUUUUUUUUUCK

So the newest update will bring mods 👀

EDIT
Also:
On October 22nd the appearance rate for Bone Dog's Favor will slightly increase permanently + he gets his own standalone event. AND for a limited time, during Herzal's Workshop launch celebrations (Halloween), his appearance chance significantly increases.

So the patch just dropped, time to hit every cavern event to maaaaaybe see the bone dog lol

Also, I'm very excited about mods. I've been writing up the basic ideas for an avatar themed one, but have absolutely no idea on how to get started on the actual coding. Anybody have advice?

Last night I got really close to the 50,000 point daily achievement :( once I get that, I'll have completed everything but the secret achievement!

I'm assuming the secret achievement has something to do with gilding all cards, I still have a couple of event cards to gild smh

and Thief! Stop! for the Petty Thief cavern event

It’s this one lol after 279 hours

Also I’m really struggling on the 50k cheevo, does anyone have advice? From what I’ve seen, turn one seraph kills seem mandatory

This update rules.
I love the balancing act of the new currency allowing for powerful combinations, and then staring down the barrel of superpowered enemies. 20/290 enemies do not gently caress around huh

I think it's fascinating how differently the 30 permutations can play. An umbra/waxer run will be fundamentally different from a wyrmkin/stygian run.

Also, I've yet to beat the last divinity because I can't make it to it. Whenever I get greedy with shards I just die

What's the build for Apex Imp?

Anything that synergizes with adding armor or augmentating rage. Base case every point of armor is two points of damage, but you can really run wild with it if you lean in with deranged brute, resonant shard, and rail spike.

E:
Here's a Voyix run where he does 2k+ damage turn 2 vs seraph, with a bad draw. A good draw would have instagibbed seraph

Legion of Wax with the ability to infuse another unit on it has made it even dumber (The little guys keep the infusion). With "Slay: +10 Gold" I had more money than I could spend, but I'm sure there's away more ridiculous things you could do. Actually, "Harvest: +5 Gold" would be exponentially dumber as each one would harvest the ones in front.


:eyepop: that’s genius

Also I just got my first divinity kill! Multi striking sirens and quick wyndleton is a good time

Just beat the divinity at Cov25 with all 60 combinations! Game good.

I might do some data analysis on which combos were the best vs worst for me. I got a 6 game streak with Wurmkin primary, while default Melting/Wurmkin took over 15 tries.

Watching cranberry and voyix has been great for discovering new and exciting ways to both break the game and reliably roll with the punches.

primodium/wurm

The way I won that one was with 2 keeper of echoes and a bunch of infused cards. Every card i played gave +2 +2 to the floor, and then the primordium stat buffs were eaten again.

The run history tool is pretty awesome! I hadn’t used it much before looking back at all my runs

If you beat the seraph but lose to the last divinity does the game still give you a covenant unlock? I'm hoping it's like sts in that regard where you can lose to the heart and still make progress.

I do not believe so :/
I do see the argument why, because by getting the benefits of 100 shards you're stronger than you'd otherwise be. Meanwhile in STS you're just penalizing yourself by going after the heart.
