I think its because it's one of those games that looks simple on the surface, but once you start playing, you start to really appreciate the complexity of whats going on. I mean, each card can have such a huge impact on a run. Its so well designed, and I can't wait to see what they do next :D!
In my experience, Farmer's Scythe is the strongest supply for weapon users. Once you get a good amount (10-20), you'll vaporize the loop from beginning to end (especially egregious with additional Count's Chairs). The HP scaling is mostly relevant in quasi endless loops. The scythe is severely underrated because every streamer is big on the HP right now. Just don't put too many ratwolves (immune to dmg to all). With the scythe I managed to beat chapter four AND the secret boss after that on loop 8 (I crafted a shitton of tools and have 24 scythes = +72% of my damage is also all damage). To make it more fun I stacked the level with the most annoying mobs I could find (battlefield ghosts, blood golems, sirens), but they evaporated regardless.
Yeah I hear you, I recognize that its damn good the problem is that my RNG is HORRIBLE and I've got maybe 3 of them in my nearly 100 hours playtime. Crafting can't even get them to drop! So I've had limited opportunities to truly test them. On paper though they are amazing.
I played through the game blind. My primary strat was to get 4 watchtowers. If you fully upgrade them, they do tons of damage and reach out FOUR TILES on EACH SIDE of your camp! That means you have dudes that cover 8 road tiles, then I stack tons of enemies and chrono crystals near my camp and get tons of loot and experience. Of course I did other things like maximizing river surface area, only placing thickets next to them (skipping Forest card because its half as good). On my final loop I ended up getting over 400% attack speed with the necro meaning I summoned skeletons nearly instantly. Combined with the perk that distributes damage among your skeletons and gives you HP when they die, with a fully upgraded war camp you become very powerful.
Hell yeah! My experiences with Necro have been hit and miss, but at 400 attack speed and the right traits you're right, he can be an absolute monster. I gotta experiment with him a little more lol
Love the quick info vids you drop for this game. Efficient and effective! Can’t wait to see what else they add to this game because it has so much potential.
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks! I've been neglecting my camp and even with all the min/max tips for decks and strats for builds, I've barely made it through chapter 2.
during expedition: -slowdown your loops with lots of mobs like spider/vampire maybe grove -build attack speed with river and build exp with river ( its most important for early game ) -know your enemies, your weaknesses. counter them with combinations or use oblivion. this is OP run against bosses. you must be reach bosses between 5-10 loops. sooner you reach, easier to kill bosses even without BiS items. you dont even need to supply or any camp buff if you know what kind of run you gonna do. and yeah if you wanna be a god listen Alexander but it makes game less fun :)
Great video! Would love to ask if there would be a video covering the early to mid-game scaling ASAP. Seems kind of intuitive that at end game when you are flush full of resources, it would be easy to spam upgrading and building to get those % bonuses. But what about if you didn't have such resources/wanted to rush and progress through quicker?
I can’t seem to get the material to unlock forests/rivers, which seems to be secret to all your builds (crazy attack speed buffs). What cards do I need to place on order to get the materials to unlock/build the buildings for these two upgrades?
You need to kill enemies of the "liquid" type to get the orbs for the river. Slimes and battlefield ghosts are liquid. I got it by overlapping a lot of battlefields and farming the ghosts. Some mats don't drop on the Lich loop, so if you try to farm the lich, just don't and move up the ladder.
@@AfroAtze that makes sense then. I got rid of the battlefields/never chose them and I’ve never gotten off slimes as I have yet to get a single one. Will try the ghost tactic
@@LeeroyGaming You can check out the encyclopaedia, it's a very useful tool for planning. Orb of Unity (the battlefield one) spawns from liquid enemies (Blood Clots). Btw. I meant those with "ghosts", might be misleading because there are actualy ghost enemies that spawn from the battlefields. You want the Blood Clots that spawn from 2 overlapping battefield tiles. Orb of Evolution spawns from living (almost all) and plant (Blood Golem) type enemies. Orb of Crafts spawns from artificial and object type enemies. Orb of Crafts is relatively rare, easiest way to get is to always play the bookery (you should do this by default anyway, it's a very good building) and farm it from the book enemies that spawn after depletion. If you want to deplete the bookery faster, make it overlap multiple tiles. Gargoyles from completed Treasuries can also spawn them.
That's a good question and I've been thinking about doing a camp building guide. Realistically I think the mudhuts are the most important to increase supply, and farms take a far second priority. Lumberjack and forests are bare minimum. If you want to get some farms going, you can line them across the very top the the screen. They'll fit nicely there. But honestly mud huts are the priority
Farming is easiest with Necro imo, because he is the least supply dependant. Set up a decent loop (maybe put some lanterns if you are not strong enough yet for full 5 monster fights all throughout), get some scaling passives like +0,5 magic HP per summon and/or +0,25 skeleton level per loop. If you want you can put lots of groves and equip the ratwolf supply item for added farming effort (not really needed). Necro is also low maintenance because low level jewelry can be worn for almost forever with the right stats (+1 summons and quality). Don't forget the Crypt golden card for infinite scaling. Proceed to beat the boss and then just let it loop until it gets too slow/dangerous. You will rack up MASSIVE amounts of book page and iron resources (besides a good amount of other stuff dependent on the loop). Then you convert those to the things you want with the alchemist and build endless mud huts to become GOD. If you are too weak for that, farm the chapter you can do comfortably until you hit the resource cap, then retire and upgrade camp until you can do the above strategy. Once you got the huts down and have the good supply items, you can do whatever, it's impossible to lose from there.
Probably farm chapter 2 for a while until you are ready to set up infinite loops in chapter 4. There is no resource cap for chapter 4 so you can get some crazy set ups going.
Hey Alex, love the vids! Kitchen Knife really isn't that great. In fact it is on the bad side as far as supply items goes. It only adds 1% BASE hp (per food item). That doesn't amount to much, and wastes item slots to boot on trashy food items that could be more antique shelves or potion slots or scythes. If your base HP is 200, and you have 10 knives, then your base HP is 240. This is less HP than you would get from one running one loop with Ancestral Crypt. Antique shelf is the supply item to focus on. Even in a best case scenario, where you are wasting say 10 slots on knives and wasting say 20-30 slots on food items you wouldn't otherwise run, you are only looking at a static HP gain of maybe 200 or 300. This can easily be gotten from doing 1 loop with Ancestral Crypt and enemies with souls, or 1 loop with a few antique shelves on.
Food items are some of the best in the game. Mixed nuts and cheese wheels. You can start a run with several thousand hp if you set up your supply correctly even in mid game. It all scales off each other. HP for each armor. + armor for each food item. ETC Start a run with like 50 armor and several k hp it makes the game a joke.
i like your videos on this game a lot, i hope it's alright if i have a couple of questions about things because i'm unsure about them if i destroy a building (like the potion maker) and place it again (for aesthetic purposes), will i have to go through upgrading it all over again? or will it stay the same level when i rebuild it and if i destroy a vampire mansion adjacent to count's lands, will they stay as count's lands or revert back to regular villages
You'll have to upgrade buildings again, yeah. As for the Counts lands... I've never actually checked... I'm really not sure and I don't want to give you the wrong answer lol
From what I've read you don't even need to keep the mansion while your transforming the village once the village is a ransacked village it will turn into a counts land iregardless of whether or not their is a mansion.
Does the 4% damage against boss works with the necromancer ? I always doesn't know if i should use supply that add damage like the + 2 damage against vampire when i play necro because i don't know if it's the skeleton that gain the damage boost....
Really good video, Alexander. New sub here! What happen if i upgrade 1 mud hut? The game is not very clear about. Because i dont get one slot more after the upgrade. See ya home
Upgrading mudhuts is a great way to expand supply! The only level that doesn't expand supply is level 2. Upgrading to 3 and 4 both give 1 extra supply each.
The decomposing is so annoying, glad i got an auto clicker that works, so i dont have to decompose 1000 res after an act 4 farming run from hand. xD The chairs on rouge are Gold. !!!
You really really need to get the river and the forest. These two buildings unlock, well, river and forest, with these two cards being only landscape cards your necromancer and rogue can beat every chapter. Until that you can take lanterns to still spam 4 mosnter fights in every tile but bring them down to 3 so they are actually manageable and place bunch of villages after monster segments (like between the tiles bordering cocoons so spiders have to fight on wheat farms where scarecrows will damage them with aoe) to make sure you don't die on the loop.
113 items lol at what point did it ruin any challenge and becomes cheating? I only have around 10 item slots, and already defeated the first 3 bosses. If I had 113 items it would probably have been way too easy, no challenge, would defeat the purpose of the game for me.
Kitchen knife best item in the game?...That's base hp, that's nothing...with 100 food items you would just double your base hp...with necro what is that +300? Would not call that the best item ig tbh
Thanks for watching! If you'd like to catch the action live, be sure to come by and say hi on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/alexandercoccia

One Q! What do you think would be the best farming strategy for building supplies for the mudhuts + food?
That's a good question and I've been thinking about doing a camp building guide. Realistically I think the mudhuts are the most important to increase supply, and farms take a far second priority. Lumberjack and forests are bare minimum. If you want to get some farms going, you can line them across the very top the the screen. They'll fit nicely there. But honestly mud huts are the priority

A lot of good points here! I think the food items are good, they can really create a runaway effect. I hear you though, and you bring up great points
i like your videos on this game a lot, i hope it's alright if i have a couple of questions about things because i'm unsure about them
if i destroy a building (like the potion maker) and place it again (for aesthetic purposes), will i have to go through upgrading it all over again? or will it stay the same level when i rebuild it

Random question but does the Mountain Peak benefit from being beside a river? Thx
Lol I've never actually tested that!! I'm not sure! It should, but by how much... If you run the river along it, does it continue to multiply?
Secret to the game: Invest hundred of hours farming resources until you have so much hp the other mechanics don't matter.
Thank you for explaining how to open slots in the supply 🤯🤯🤯
You're welcome 🙂
for anyone new looking, the 1% base hp per food item is only looking at the base hp not at the +max hp. so its worse for infinite runs.
Hey buddy. Let's see that supply items tier list video ;)
I'll see what I can do!
Does the 4% damage against boss works with the necromancer ? I always doesn't know if i should use supply that add damage like the + 2 damage against vampire when i play necro because i don't know if it's the skeleton that gain the damage boost....
I dont think so
Not sure but I just beat the game with 2 in my inventory as a necro.
Does the Count's Chair affect rouge? The class has vampirism by default I think, but I'm unsure if the chairs add on or not since I only have 3.
It does, yeah! It's incredible on rogue
well, i wish this stuff was explained in game, good infos
Really good video, Alexander. New sub here!
What happen if i upgrade 1 mud hut?
The game is not very clear about. Because i dont get one slot more after the upgrade.
See ya home
Upgrading mudhuts is a great way to expand supply! The only level that doesn't expand supply is level 2. Upgrading to 3 and 4 both give 1 extra supply each.
thank you
Farmer's scythe is the best item for Hero/Thief.
Yes it's pretty damn good
The decomposing is so annoying, glad i got an auto clicker that works, so i dont have to decompose 1000 res after an act 4 farming run from hand. xD
The chairs on rouge are Gold. !!!
Ahahahahaha having so many resources that decomposing is annoying is a good thing!!
Didn't build a single mud hut or max war camp until I'd beaten Omega.
I got 2 Mirrors which have a chance to deflect magic dmg(or temple) so Mr Skeleton killed himself :D GJ
Ahahaha awesome!
5.8 thousand views?? “Is it possible to learn this power?”
Ahaha
i still farming in Act 1, beat act 2 so far 😂
i use necromancer still die in act 1 sometimes
You'll get stronger over time as you continue to build up your war camp and supply!
You really really need to get the river and the forest. These two buildings unlock, well, river and forest, with these two cards being only landscape cards your necromancer and rogue can beat every chapter.

✌️hey Alex have a great day 🌈
Hey Johannes!! Thanks and you too!!
113 items lol at what point did it ruin any challenge and becomes cheating? I only have around 10 item slots, and already defeated the first 3 bosses. If I had 113 items it would probably have been way too easy, no challenge, would defeat the purpose of the game for me.
Necromancer trans warrior confirmed?
Kitchen knife best item in the game?...That's base hp, that's nothing...with 100 food items you would just double your base hp...with necro what is that +300?
Would not call that the best item ig tbh
