Why Rex Sucks (in Eclipse 8)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- For the record, I think Rex is pretty good on anything below Eclipse 8 if anyone was curious.
And also me making the video somewhat out of spite was just a joke, don't let silly opinions on the internet get you heated my dudes
Anyhow, it's been a while since I've done a purely commentary video, but i think my editing and storytelling has gotten way better since then. Seriously let me know what you guys think! These ones take a bit longer to make than gameplay videos, but I would love to make more stuff like this in the future if they get enough support!

i really like rex and honest to god think hes like top 5 imo
but theres no defending what happens to him in eclipse hes the main reason i wished each of the survivors got unique eclipse downsides
yeah that would be nice for sure, but a lot of work
that's a lot of coding to go through to ensure eclipse is fair and balanced but if there's a set plan in place beforehand, it would be much worth it honestly
@@ninja666gaming Would it be? I feel like it's not hard to come up with ideas. Or do you mean coding?
They could have so easily fixed this by stating that the perma damage is only from enemy fire or outside sources. Negating an entire character gimick seems so stupid and unfun. Why punish one character harder than the other?
Anyway. im gold 6 atm with three 7's so far. I will in the near future be confronted by this aswell. Maybe REX himself can use a tiny buff aswell. Mainly boosting the proc-co from 0.5 to 0.75 or something minor like that.
Never really liked rex, but eclipse is just bullying him.
"here's why the character who's kit focuses on healing is bad in the game mode where you have half healing"
I wonder
only good thing eclipse did was slightly nerf void fiend by making his corrupted suppress even more useless
a few more seconds of corruption for 10% of your max hp? what a steal!
I think the fact that all of the survivors are very strong in their own right clouds people judgement on certain characters. REX is very strong, particularly in Monsoon, but he really doesn’t compare in Eclipse, and people overlook that just because you can still have god runs using it.
So every thing he ssid is item are need in serten thing
I love REX and I think he's fun to play, but how can anyone try to argue that he's not at the highest disadvantage in a mode where you can lose max health? His strategy is based around temporarily sacrificing health to do more damage and gaining it back. Losing health permanently is not conducive to that. Great video man! Very well thought out and put together.
i main rex and acrid, and i love playing rex, is fun, but eclipse 8 is basically unplayable, i don't get why people try to defend it
This is evidence that a monsoon tier list would vastly differentiate from an eclipse tier list.
Rex kinda plays like an awkward Commando in general. With how his attacks work it's better to build around bleed and the like, but the proc coefficient makes building bleed without shatterspleen twice more resource intensive as a whole since both probability and effect duration are reduced. However it's not as seriously crippling as one thinks since dumping a lot of drills with backup mags makes initial bleed buildup really fast just by sheer volume of fire, and you can keep sustaining that initial bleed throughout teleporter boss battles. Mithrix will be more painful though since he just doesn't stay still very often, with the only reliable openings being when he lands and when he pizzas. Either way Rex is cool in my books but he's been forced to fill in shoes that belong to superior bleed stackers such as Commando, Nailgun MUL-T and Captain.
exactly this. good enough to get the job done but relatively sucks
@@Sogudu I only wish for another loadout that isn't 1/2/1/2 because having a single objectively correct way to play Rex is dull as all other options either kill you or just isn't good (picking fruits over the vines is like picking Blight over Acid). Even then I barely notice the weakness and have suffered noticeably more from early game Mercenary's lack of anti-air among other things compared to the entirety of the Rex experience. Maybe I'm just more comfy with spammy survivors with a set it and forget it approach given that I have struggled more with Artificer and Huntress than Rex.
REX is a consistent and good survivor in the base game, really strong healing and easy to use gimmick (VS shit like Mercenary who is way too hard for the little he offers) but E8 REX is hell lol. That's just unavoidable, they didn't think of giving him some kinda exception or changing E8 modifier so there is just 1 survivor in the game who is unreasonably crippled and hard.
Maybe the guy in the beginning is just a god gamer. Thoughts??
hes probably just so good that he didnt even realize any survivor had weaknesses??? that must be it
@@Sogudu someone needs to sign him before it’s too late
Rex is indeed horrible for eclipse, but rex also holds a special place in my heart as literally the only character who I could find no problem with on day one of SOTS. Made life so much more tolerable having at least one survor who was largely unaltered
man, why they do my boy rex like that in eclipse :( that poor plant
rex is one of the strongest characters OUTSIDE of eclipse 8
8 modifier is just too much for rex, 5 was okay.
Forgive me if I’m stupid, but can’t you just use his robot skills to jot take self damaged (I know the damage wouldn’t be great since you wouldn’t have any of his harder hitting moves, but at least he wouldn’t constantly be at 10% max hp, right?)
5:49 his primary is supposed to fan out like that, its not because of the velocity.
what skin mod are you using ? the one that lets you adjust hue values (red green blue)
mod is called SkinTuner
@@Sogudu thank you so much!!
my goat
Isnt perma damage caped at some point/ cant kill you. You are scared and picking worst abilitys so you can be at higher hp, while showing acrid staying chill at 50 % at stage 1. 900% per second due to primary does look decent, Which is 2700& at the full duration of alter option. So mb Get good?
i beat e8 with him several times by now and have emphasized in the video multiple times that you can be consistent with him, its just harder than other survivors 💀
acrid has much better mobility options and WAY better damage, so its easier to maneuver in low hp situations imo. and for his primary where tf did you get 900%???? you did watch the video yea?
@@Sogudu 450% * 0,5 cd = 900% or math stopped working at some point? Have you missed it or did i saw something wrong?
I get it that this way he is harder, but what if instead of being consistent, you should have gone for risky play with his secondary? At the very end, More damage in ror, means less scaling for enemys, which is techicly more effective hp for you + more damage, right? (due to faster clean speed, which wouldn't allow timer to go that far).
@@Sogudu So comparing to alter secondary in duration of 3 seconds, it will deal 2700% damage with 6 hits that has proc of 1.0, against 16 with 0.5, which isnt as good for procs, but better for damage. + during full cd of Drill it will do 5400% with 12 hits with procs of 1.0 each, which is insane differense, however, of course you cant spam it right? What exactly is the limit of eclipse again? Oh wait, never mind, because it looks like even with it, you will be able to always use anything that can damage you.
So , high risk, high reward. Maybe if you would play this way, Rex will shine?
@expepem189xl3 ohhh u meant his secondary. yea seed barrage has really insane damage.
but its still way too risky to play rex this way. not only is max hp reduced a lot when spamming, but you also lose access to REALLY important defensive items like opals and safer spaces. that makes getting hit even once so much more detrimental. best way to be consistent in e8 according to most big ror2 creators is to prioritize speed and defense above all in order to prevent losing hp in the first place.
but i see where ur coming from. more dmg is really good, scales you better, lets you clear stages faster. its just that a constant loss of hp isnt really worth it in my eyes but ur totally free to agree or disagree if u want 👍 im totally down to do a vid in the future trying out a rex run with all self-dmg skills and try out this playstyle tho
@@Sogudu Thanks, glad i were able to say it understandably and you understand it all, thank for good video and answers !
Rex is overrated.
maybe youtuber stuff isnt for you if you argue with people in your comments
@furbait3442 i never understood this sentiment. why can i not point out something silly just because it's my video? this is why i enjoy content from people like Coney
I know I'm a little late, but I wouldn't call it arguing, more just discussion. Granted, this is the only video I've seen from this channel so It may be worse on other videos
