    The “don’t unlock too many items” tip is EXTREMELY lame. That takes about a solid 20% of the fun of the game away. It’s fun having a wide variety and different builds to try, and it’s fun unlocking things. It’s also not even hard to still get the items you want. The game offers some options to tailor your build.

    Quick tip: don't try to ground pound every time you fall at Toxic Sewers or Ancient Sewers, you might cannonball yourself at sh*t water
    Quicker tip: don't collect TOO MANY scrolls of different type, true that it makes your stats go higher but also means, tougher enemies in the next level you enter.
    Quickest tip: when using heavy ass weapons where it says “cannot be interrupted by enemy after hit” like the Symmetrical Lance or the Nutcracker, you must find a better position for yourself to attack because keep in mind that they are slow heavy weapons and you cannot be interrupte-

      A good tip overall but not good for new players because you can deal massive amount of dmg but die to 2 hits.

    Totally unfair with Spartan Sandals. I mean, they do MASSIVE damage to enemies if you kick them to a wall, or if you kick them off a ledge.
    Obviously, they are almost useless agains Bosses, but against normal mobs, in clock tower for example, it's ista-kill for each kick, (4 boss cells stem). Just use them as a secundary weapon and you're fine :)
    Besides, there is no "good" weapon. There is weapons that you PREFER, and that's totally fine.
    None are bad, all of them have a purpose, but you'll have your prefered ones.
    Just keep in mind that by NOT unloking blueprints just because they are no "good" will make your game always feels the same, and it takes out some fun of the fomula, IMHO.

  • @rafaelfigfigueiredo2988
    @rafaelfigfigueiredo2988 Před 5 lety +39

    ...nice tips,I think
    So have some more to start when you have beaten first boss
    An early game op combo is Assassin Dagger,any parry shield(bonus if it has healing at parry), Bear Trap and Ice Grenade. For mutation,you can pick the Brutality branch,but...
    If you're confident,you can take all the tactics mutations with that build,so you can almost stunlock any enemy,even bosses(Just be careful with sewers scorpions,just a mistake and they can sap half your health)
    Shields are great to learn the ropes,not because of parrying but to always keep in mind that they only parry in the start of the shield animation, *IF* theirs descriptions mention they can do that.
    That said,when you want to get out of confort zone,take the three hit,last crit dagger and do a run with it. Some strong weapons later in the game need the "slow" combo animation to be of full use. Of course,even with basic dagger you can complete a run,but still
    Everyone here will say that freeze is a very friend. Thats because it is. The chance to forge a "% of damage to frozen targets" is good, the thaw of it WILL save your run and overall,is easier to get free hits with it.
    The other elements are fine,but I wouldn't recommend fire over anything when learning from first runs,as the fire stacks doesn't damage enough
    Whips or mallets/hammers are hard to master and they are slow,but it pays off to learn them,as the long range or stuns can make efficient runs
    About the mentioned Spartan Sandals... Ok,they don't look that good(especially at bosses) but they cancel attacks from most enemies AND crit them against walls. They aren't valuable as other weapons,but aren't worthless.(A quick spoiler: Hayabusa Sandals is mid game blueprint,but they can easily clear areas,useful to farm cells)
    Just be sure to use them as sub or with a heal on hit/kill mutation
    If you have patience and/or guts,try the time mode. It has random weapons,but not just unlockeds but sometimes,late game ones appears. Its fun,makes you think fast about decisions and you get to learn new itens
    ...just...just bear the fact you won't get to the top in the rankings(or you will! Make me wrong! And proud!)
    You will find out that money ain't all that useful after you get a good weapon from the pay-to-get doors(only break them if you can clear easily mobs),but some floors have vendors with healing itens or your favorite weapon.
    So it helps to clear a floor of enemies to stash some for when it's needed
    Curse Chest,as all chests,are all based in RNG so they aren't worth that much. Take them when you're sure you can clear the curse.
    You may didnt done that yet,but you can stack curses. Careful

    Tip number 5 is an absolutely terrible idea.

Every weapon is unique and requires unique playstyles. Also , spartan sandals are not that bad anyway , kicking grenades back , kicking enemies from ledges are fun.

    • @smashbrolink
      @smashbrolink Před 5 lety +5

      @Thanatos the only really useless ones are the items that can only be used once per biome, and even those can be recycled for extra gold to spend in shops and on gold doors, if you can't find a use for them in combat.
      So no, not useless .
      Also, sparta sandals have some damn good stun rate and damage, plus they absolutely WRECK enemies in places with lots of walls and ledges to punt them into/off of.
      Clock Tower, as a fine example.
      If I could mod the game so they goofy-yell every time I punt them off a ledge, I'd never use anything else when the Sparta sandals pop up in a run.XD

      the problem is what she is true most of weapons can make you survive from non boss type or even an elite type but when come to boss. you CAN"T do a proper damage (damage cap) that lead to a cheap ugly death. it some thing that make this game less fun since 1.0 update.

    The save your cells part is actually true but if you die then all your cells will be gone so it's best always spend your cells even if you spend it on something useless and the spartan shoe is useful since you can stun even bosses with it like the concierge and it can also be used to push enemies from ledges to make them fall and kill them and the don't buy too much weapon is not true as it's best to always have as much weapons as possible since your starter weapon are useless and some even spawn randomly on the ground or secret locations (hope this helps)

Kicking everything into walls and off of ledges is how I did the entire run. The boss at the bridge I just kicked into the wall and wasn't ever hit. Sandals are OP with the right items. Ice grenades and crusher made it easy to keep enemies where I wanted them.
