I'll get multiple flask filling, taverns, even health fountain options when sitting at full HP... but when I'm at one heart and out of flasks I'll go through 3 floors without a single one. There's a meta upgrade that makes healing events more common when you're at 1 heart, if that helps. Also, Cinder 12 is when it starts to get really rough. Bosses having enchants is rooooough.

I feel like that's probably the point. I honestly thought the pre-update version was kinda way too easy so I'm appreciating the extra challenge in this version, even if I've yet to manage a win at even Cinder 12, let alone 16...

Yay, managed a win at Cinder 12. But drat the added modifiers from Cinder 16 seem insanity inducing.

Soul Scarf is alright but you start with no potions at Cinder 16 and you really want to get as strong as possible as fast as possible and the dice REALLY help you get that basic level of power going ASAP. Not that I've beaten Cinder 16 yet or anything...

It turns blue once you hit meta level 30, cap out, and start getting paragon levels (that seem to do absolutely nothing). Or it should, at least. If you're past that and it's still red then I dunno.

Teriyaki Koinku posted:I don't think I'm at 30 yet, but close to it. Does that mean you can't fill out the whole mastery upgrade map then? That's disappointing if so. You can't, no, it forces you to actually make some decisions on it.

RoboCicero posted:I have two 16 cinder clears and still trying to futz around with good metaprog picks. It feels like grabbing parts of the left tree becomes so much more important because the first few levels are Packed With Guys. Probably of the split choices I'd say "The Glass Is Half Full" for 50% less enchanted enemies with more armor (both seem to be multiplicative with the cinder effect so the other upgrade, Glass Is Half Empty, feels like you get double-enchanted packs extremely often). I'd also take Take This for a guaranteed weapon on the first floor to try and get you a decent weapon so you can actually finish fights without being overwhelmed. Other than that, in the north area I find myself using Shortcut (+5 initial XP, +1 requirement to level up) to be helpful since you can immediately knock off the Doomed To Fail trait before you invest too much into the wrong direction, and Stamina for reduced dash cooldowns. Smash and Grab, like someone said, is great because you're going to almost always have excess bombs (I didn't know bombing shrines gave you XP!) The rock golem is really far too hard for a floor 2 boss.

deep dish peat moss posted:This works for lots of boss attacks. Off the top of my head, the dragons' breath attacks can be avoided by standing in the corner behind them and the jouster's attacks can almost all be avoided by hugging the bottom wall. I personally consider those two well worth losing 6 early game rooms. Getting a guaranteed secret room every floor is a LOT of bonus resources and can get you really strong stuff early if you get lucky.
