_[explaining the Ethereal Whetstone at __16:16__]_ "That sounds quite good! Would I dare...?" *Narrator:* He did not dare, as a matter of fact. He took the whetstone but never used it, even during the last battle of the campaign.
The other day I had a run with 5 king's cleavers, 5 gold cleavers and a rack of knives plus a few other damage boosters, and a bunch of energy increases. Each king's cleaver would trigger the other king's cleavers and they'd loop for about 18 hits per energy, and the rack of knives meant it scaled. I think I got to floor 43? It got ridiculous very quickly.
@@quizzicale827 yeah, for him I'd recommend either holding onto a buff cleanser for your enemies or hoping to get cleansing flame as a relic. I also lucked out because I had healing gems in my build along with cleansing flame. Edit: projectiles also don't activate spikes, so consumable projectiles can also help.
FLOOR FOURTY THREE?!?!?! I've had some absolutely busted runs and yet ive never cleared floor 16, i need to rerun the cleaver build sometime because that sounds absolutely ridiculous.
@@adumbchicken8022 it was a bit of a pain as it went on tbh. Each turn was a 2 minute slog and I basically kept getting more energy boosts and a dodge helmet. The belt of knives provided some ridiculous scaling, and I got stopwatch near the end.
Key to the fire geckos is to be able to take the curses. They cost energy to destroy, so you can easily get rid of them every turn, you just have to be fast enough to kill before the fire buildup overtakes your block
@@mr.fluffypantz4150 i always take the hits since I never have space, but some runs i just kill the gecko giving the curse! Basically some of my runs were kinda op
You can press m on the main menu to start with a bonus of your choice. 10 extra health, a bow with 2 arrows, or an item or 2 that can completely shape your run with a bit of luck. go for a bow run, it’s cracked
@@PotofGlue you can save and reset before any fight or event to reroll the rewards. if you want that specific of a build, and dont mind cheating a bit, thats how I'd reccomend it
The letter probably synergizes well with magic weapons that don’t use energy and then use your 3 energy to reorganize to double the letter on the first turn or reuse it on later turns
That boss was a LOT easier than the magma boss I got... Every other turn he would add 10-20 burn, and summon fire gecks for even more burn... I literally won with a single point of over kill, if I did TWO less damage over the fight the 48 burn he had stacked on me would have finished me off!
After your first video on this I played this for hours and hours and love the game and the idea in general, I've beaten the main game many times and it's almost always using something different, also the music is a bop
@@blizzard8958 Oh yeah for sure! Piggy bank and golden shiv makes it so crazy strong lol. My best run ever was with an Electric wand that i forged for +5DMG *twice* and a dark headband (+4 mana for every kill with a wand). It was so ridiculously busted I made it to the Magma Core boss on endless mode before I died lol
Avoid swamp in endless mode! There is one encounter that can create an infinite loop of spike/armour stacking. I have lost my best endless run there when an enemy decided to have 1600 spike
@@square6293 that one encounter with two high hp targets. they rotate between attacking and giving spike+shields to themselves and their friene. its not the worst when you have a burst build, but if you have a wheatstone stacking shives build like i did that nees some time to set up, on later endless they might set up so much spike you will die trying to kill them.
YOU CAN ROTATE STUFF AND THE DIRECTIONS CHANGE WITH IT... it's a critical mechanic, if you turn the boots sideways, you could use your massive horizontal space, same for ALL items with a blue direction name
imo windmill and other energy items are easily the most op items. Seems like anything synergizing around empty space (outside of arrows maybe) is pretty good too.
I mean, archer build can also be ridiculous. Like, place a long bow(3-4 spaces tall) on the bottom of your pack facing up, and instantly, all your arrows can be stacked against the side of your pack to maximize damage. Add in a stopwatch or belt of knives, and you got some good scaling.
i actualy had a build similar to yours wich revolved around the letter too except i dicth blocking and armor and go on to just minmax my dammage and was able to defeat the final boss in 1 turn. died in endless mode because at that point my build literaly only survived by killing everything in turn 1. at the end a did something like 150~ damage to all enemies with my main weapon. cant wait to see you try endless run
Ah, i love playing this game from time to time! The constant updates really feel nice. Although i recommend you be careful with Endless mode, because while yes the game allows you to continue after you've won, it's like *really* unbalanced with scaling. It's even warned on the discord; current updates don't take endless into account yet, but i'm still enthousiast to see how far you'll go! My guess is you won't get past the second "chapter" in endless; floors 12 to 15! But i guess we'll see!
I think you misunderstood the belt of knives. Adjacent weapons buff adjacent weapons, the belt doesnt need to actually be adjacent to any weapons at all. its really overpowered
The letter will also buff a weapon adjacent above it, which makes it possible to move the letter up into a consumable weapon (dart, broken sword, cup etc.) for a minor buff, use that item up, then finish moving the letter to buff your main weapon. And you can stack letters above each other - as long as each letter is moving more than 1 space, you're getting more buff than a single letter moving an extra space.
I’ve done about 5 or 6 different runs to get to endless mode and so far my absolute favorite was the pickaxe build. On kill it creates a gem, the gems give bonus damage and effects to weapons, there’s a relic that gives bonus damage for adjacent gems, and the bottle is an extra 6 damage with basically no downside cuz all the adjacent spaces to the only weapon are gems so my armors don’t touch it. Also, I haven’t been able to do a successful structures or pacifist run yet because the items you need to do them are so uncommon… The structures run obviously needs structures The pacifist run needs the pacifist ring, thorns effects, a shield, and regen. All the energy is used to block, My First Wand heals the excess damage if you have something that refills magic stones, conduit is probably the best to get 2 of for 6 mana in 4 spaces that also gives 2 block… a lot of stuff has to come together to make pacifist ring work, on top of it being legendary rarity
Btw, wands are insane. Get yourself an electric wand with a bunch of mana stones, a Dark Headband (gives +4 mana each time you kill an enemy with a wand), and a Whetstone to spend your energy on (gives +3 damage to weapons in its row) and you're goated beyond belief
I had a run with about 15 manastones (2/3 mana each), the common 7 damage wand, 2 books, and 4 Dark Headbands. I also had Stopwatch and a +1 Rage on the wand thanks to the Forge random event, so the wand's damage was increasing by 2 per use, as well as the whetstone that gives +1 Healing to weapons on use. In the end I could ramp up the damage so quickly I'd be doing hundreds of damage per wand usage, but eventually died at floor 15 to the Grandmaster enemy because magic apparently isn't ranged and that enemy has 7 spike...
@@SgtMurasa Ughhh I hate how wands still get hit by spikes lol. I didn’t use bows for the longest time because I figured if magic gets spiked there’s no way that bows don’t since they’re much more of a physical attack than a wand is… make it make sense 🥴
Absolutely love this game, saw the first video, followed the link and probably already dumped an unhealthy amount of time into it. Hope you post more in the future, favorite game on the channel since frost punk a while back (also, thoughts on shotgun king? feel like that game would be right up your alley)
archery builds tend to be extremely strong for me and especially with things like glass bottle and rack of knives maybe try out a build like that for some crazy damage
He discovered letter+jagged blade? It's all over. i beat the game with a jagged blade being buffed by 3 different letters once. Huge pain to reset but it was insanely good
I wanna see a variety of starting backpacks implemented, like a backpack that can't hold as many items but gives stat bonuses on equipment or consumables, an anti-grav pack that makes all items floaty and negates "Heavy"... There's a ton of really cool bag ideas! Bag of holding, which gains more slots per level and increase in size infinitely, further zooming out the field of view as it expands... Ooh, or a REALLY oddball bag that has only four slots, but they can be shuffled around to be a square or a line, and any item/items you can fit in those spaces gets a massive buff to whatever they do... I dunno about the percentage I'd use on that one for scaling, but I wish I had the tools to fiddle with it and science it out.
The build with the axe is called "The Vampiric Tank " Basically you use the enemy as your health bar. Every time you need to top off your health *stab enemy * and you just used a health potion while removing an obstacle. I know this build, because I use it in a different game to similar effect as here.
You get an archer wand with a midas bow. You get a keg for healing fueled by your midas bow money. _You get a bombstone so the arrows conjured by your wand do 100 damage with ease._ _YOU FIND A WIZARD ROBE SO YOU CAN'T RUN OUT OF ARROWS._ Self destructing arrows don't give you money for kills. :( _IT DOESN'T MATTER SINCE YOU 1 TURN KILL EVERYTHING ANYWAY. INCLUDING THE FINAL BOSS._
Yep I once got 2 regular arrows, and 2 mini arrows, and the fan of knifes artifact, plus 1 singlular extra mana from some other thing Literally destroyed the final boss in 2 turns and without blocking
Damn really? I've been trying bows over and over again and just can't get them to do decent damage. The amount of empty space you have to have in your backpack to make the arrows do any sort of damage is just not worth it imo
@@ferfymoe2093 i was dealing over 200 damage in a turn with bows, you really just need some very little sinergy and it becomes beyond broken. Won 5 rounds of endless with no block or healing
@@ferfymoe2093 just 3 empty rows, 4 if you have the legendary bow, and support on the last line(s) and you deal so much damage. Sometimes you just stack 2 of the same arrow in the line with some gemstones or like the fan of knifes and they deal more damage than a full empty row
try pressing the "m" key right when you load up the game (not the run), a guy will appear and if you talk with him you can get some nice bonusses at the start of your run
bows and butcher knives are the most op weapons in the game, bows with the mouse wood and short arrows allow you to deal insane amounts of damage since each shot will add 200% damage to all arrows for the combat so your second shot will effectively be 3x damage your third shot will be 5x damage and so on. I got a build with over a 1000 damage per turn. Butcher knives are also insane since the king or queen knife allow you to use all adjacent or diagonal knives at the same time, so you could use 5 knives at a time or more if you activate a queen knife with a kings knife. Also if you get +1 rage or the clock artifact then all the knives get +1 for each attack.
Luck rings are cracked. I always pick them up when I can, they seem to increase the chance of more luck rings, I can usually stack 4 or 5 of them and get tons of rares and legendaries.
My complete run was a single whetstone lined up with 6 daggers and lots of armor, block aa much damage as i will take, then the rest of the energy goes to the whetstone until enough damage has built up
Imo blockbuster is the 2nd most op thing (I heard that archery was better). The ring of doom is also op together Sith the mana frog (i forgot it’s name)
I won the game in my first try. Went for Heavy autoblocking, thorns for days, magic block with magic regen per turn och a good ol club to smash things with. Of course the club got mega upgraded during the run. Also had a small lifesteal dagger to regen some life. GG
I am just so in love with this game I've been playing it on my own and its just so diverse and there is so much you can do.. apparently you can win the game? but I've gotten nowhere near close and its so fun still (also love watching the game keep it coming
I feel like the scaling on the game is pretty scuffed at the moment. Most things aren't a problem until level 3 at which point unless you have a strong build the game gets very difficult. Especially if you get fire gecko's which are OP, they deal decent regular damage, add fire and add curses plus always 3 of them. Archery is also difficult to scale fast enough without the correct gear rolls. Still love playing the game but it needs tweaks for full release
the game is just stat check the game. so really this problem will exist or be really easy game. if that is gonna change the damage numbers need to go down everywhere and the game will need to implement more mechanics to actually push players to make decisions on your turn
I love this game! Can't wait for more content. right now there are a couple of abilities missing to really make game play more versatile, but I'm hopeful! It's odd that you seem to have different enemies than I do? Like, for as much as I've played this I haven't seen some of them...
I got 2 early luck rings, on the first floor. Ended up with a Cursed sword. Farmed bees to surround it with 7 cured honeys. It was insane damage, beat the first boss on endless with it. Also waterskins with seasoning are bonkers.
Letter is busted lol, I'm currently in an ongoing run that started off with a letter from Matthew, combined with a weak damage wand later on, and with a ton of mana stones and and ancient tome + buffs, the letter Kickstarted a wand that starts with 1 damage all the way to 30 + damage per hit
*stares angrily at the thumbnail art* THE VAMPIRE AXE IS A 3 LENGTH THE SCIMITAR IS A 3 LENGTH METAL GLOVES ARE HEAVY AND WOULD SINK, AS WELL AS NOT WORKING LIKE THAT HELMETS DEBUFF OTHER HELMETS, AS DO BOOTS! *I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE EVEN IS AN ORANGE WHETSTONE*
One thing i had once was the assasins dagger. It only deals 3 damage, but for every kill with it, it's damage increases by 1 PERMANENTLY. I got it to like 50 and died cuz i did'nt pay antention to the enemies attacks
I played one game, had a single weapon buffed by 5 legendary gems and the rest of the pack was armors, helms, and a pair of boots. One armor gave haste so I started with 32 block and gained more every turn after, my weapon did 25 damage and gained +1 after every attack. I never took damage outside of curses because you cant block that damage, the weapon healed 1 and vamp'd 1 so I could recover but died in zone 3-1.
I’ve found that bow builds are insanely good with a bow that adds extra damage as well as gems. I’ve had a lot of fun with bow builds, but I’ve been trying to get a viable cleaver run going since I can see a path for it with the chef’s hat and the king cleaver
Gah, you missed the best part of the mail build... you can fill the bag spaces with consumables (e.g., food), then consume them when you need to use the letter. It also provides space to take a curse as well.
If you can get Shield Spirit and Soldier Shield, you get the most absolutely BROKEN combo in the game. Soldier shield gives +1 damage to all adjacent weapons on use. Shield Spirit gives -1 damage to all adjacent weapons on shield use BUT also makes your shield's activate ALL adjacent weapons. FOR FREE! Surround it in cleavers and you literally just get a mega cluster of DEATH! Note for Cleavers: King is the better initial point. Surround a King in Queens, and you can fragment out a lot.
Haste give bonus block when blocking, including blocking per turn from armor Try items that gives haste per turn, like archangel armor (rare), I got 70+ blocking in the last area. I used pick axe btw
So why didnt he reorganize the letter after useing it, then using the weapon so it dose like 80 damage instead of 47 that would be very good for the last boss as for it would not build rage or thorns.
I got a pretty good brick and helmet build, got roughly 51 shield and 6 spikes to self each turn, getting a kill gave me 2 haste which gave me more shield per brick
If I’m seeing correctly, the letter buffs weapons adjacent to it *before* it moves, meaning that by pressing the weapon against the top of the backpack loses you an extra use.
This is what true power looks like.
Hello Mr time traveler
Liking the variety
More like true backpack power
cool
You should try using the cursed sword and get tons of curses, I did it and had 66 damage per hit
You see, the problem with the letter is it deals psychic damage to the player each time you forget to reset it
More like *EMOTIONAL DAMAGE*

bows and butcher knives are the most op weapons in the game, bows with the mouse wood and short arrows allow you to deal insane amounts of damage since each shot will add 200% damage to all arrows for the combat so your second shot will effectively be 3x damage your third shot will be 5x damage and so on. I got a build with over a 1000 damage per turn. Butcher knives are also insane since the king or queen knife allow you to use all adjacent or diagonal knives at the same time, so you could use 5 knives at a time or more if you activate a queen knife with a kings knife. Also if you get +1 rage or the clock artifact then all the knives get +1 for each attack.
I really like watching this game
Luck rings are cracked. I always pick them up when I can, they seem to increase the chance of more luck rings, I can usually stack 4 or 5 of them and get tons of rares and legendaries.
It's lovely to see you succeeding in variety, loved your content since bloons. Keep it up broski
My complete run was a single whetstone lined up with 6 daggers and lots of armor, block aa much damage as i will take, then the rest of the energy goes to the whetstone until enough damage has built up
“Friendship ended with Vampiric Axe. Now Jagged Blade is my best friend.”
This game seems like it would be awesome with a content update. Just from this early version alone im in love with it. Keep up the good work man
Imo blockbuster is the 2nd most op thing (I heard that archery was better). The ring of doom is also op together Sith the mana frog (i forgot it’s name)
What a sick build! So fun
The games aliensrock plays are always entertaining
I won the game in my first try. Went for Heavy autoblocking, thorns for days, magic block with magic regen per turn och a good ol club to smash things with. Of course the club got mega upgraded during the run. Also had a small lifesteal dagger to regen some life.
GG
"What IS this build?"
It's the "Nobody kills me but me"
I am just so in love with this game I've been playing it on my own and its just so diverse and there is so much you can do.. apparently you can win the game? but I've gotten nowhere near close and its so fun still
(also love watching the game keep it coming
Indeed, magma finale wins the game and/or optionally goes into endless mode after as well
I feel like the scaling on the game is pretty scuffed at the moment. Most things aren't a problem until level 3 at which point unless you have a strong build the game gets very difficult. Especially if you get fire gecko's which are OP, they deal decent regular damage, add fire and add curses plus always 3 of them. Archery is also difficult to scale fast enough without the correct gear rolls. Still love playing the game but it needs tweaks for full release
the game is just stat check the game. so really this problem will exist or be really easy game. if that is gonna change the damage numbers need to go down everywhere and the game will need to implement more mechanics to actually push players to make decisions on your turn
I love this game! Can't wait for more content. right now there are a couple of abilities missing to really make game play more versatile, but I'm hopeful! It's odd that you seem to have different enemies than I do? Like, for as much as I've played this I haven't seen some of them...
4:58 "and that's the only way to get a kill"
12+12+12: am I a joke to you
“Where does it say that I’m supposed to give a shit?” This is definitely something tyler would say
I don't know how you do it I try every game you play and you're just 10x better keep up the good work
the moment when I realized bows and arrows can be quite ridiculous with the spice relic and a boat load of consumables
I got 2 early luck rings, on the first floor. Ended up with a Cursed sword. Farmed bees to surround it with 7 cured honeys. It was insane damage, beat the first boss on endless with it. Also waterskins with seasoning are bonkers.
Absolutely insane. The barricade meta
Well this video was great so happy to see this game again hopefully endless is not to troubling
Letter is busted lol, I'm currently in an ongoing run that started off with a letter from Matthew, combined with a weak damage wand later on, and with a ton of mana stones and and ancient tome + buffs, the letter Kickstarted a wand that starts with 1 damage all the way to 30 + damage per hit
Be careful with Vampirism, it triggers thons seperately from damage so you can mulch yourself if you stack both together.
*stares angrily at the thumbnail art*
THE VAMPIRE AXE IS A 3 LENGTH
THE SCIMITAR IS A 3 LENGTH
METAL GLOVES ARE HEAVY AND WOULD SINK, AS WELL AS NOT WORKING LIKE THAT
HELMETS DEBUFF OTHER HELMETS, AS DO BOOTS!
*I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE EVEN IS AN ORANGE WHETSTONE*
Do more of this it’s so fun to watch
One thing i had once was the assasins dagger. It only deals 3 damage, but for every kill with it, it's damage increases by 1 PERMANENTLY. I got it to like 50 and died cuz i did'nt pay antention to the enemies attacks
4 spaces long bow, next to it 4 arrows horizontal, then verttical shaft for the letter, then 4 more horizontal arrows. 8*6 extra damage per action
I played one game, had a single weapon buffed by 5 legendary gems and the rest of the pack was armors, helms, and a pair of boots. One armor gave haste so I started with 32 block and gained more every turn after, my weapon did 25 damage and gained +1 after every attack. I never took damage outside of curses because you cant block that damage, the weapon healed 1 and vamp'd 1 so I could recover but died in zone 3-1.
I’ve found that bow builds are insanely good with a bow that adds extra damage as well as gems. I’ve had a lot of fun with bow builds, but I’ve been trying to get a viable cleaver run going since I can see a path for it with the chef’s hat and the king cleaver
Gah, you missed the best part of the mail build... you can fill the bag spaces with consumables (e.g., food), then consume them when you need to use the letter.
It also provides space to take a curse as well.
If you can get Shield Spirit and Soldier Shield, you get the most absolutely BROKEN combo in the game.
Soldier shield gives +1 damage to all adjacent weapons on use.
Shield Spirit gives -1 damage to all adjacent weapons on shield use BUT also makes your shield's activate ALL adjacent weapons. FOR FREE!
Surround it in cleavers and you literally just get a mega cluster of DEATH!
Note for Cleavers: King is the better initial point. Surround a King in Queens, and you can fragment out a lot.
rage is so much better than damage... with rage your weapons get +1 dmg for every use
I had a a broken run today with a king cleaver synergy. I was lucky enough to also get belt of knives which made the run even better.
I find it funny how the concept that made Paper Mario: Sticker Star so bad made this game so intresting
Haste give bonus block when blocking, including blocking per turn from armor
Try items that gives haste per turn, like archangel armor (rare), I got 70+ blocking in the last area. I used pick axe btw
Loved it the first time, gonna love it now.
You're so good at this game, woah
One thing about endless, it gets hard quick if you are not prepared
Love that one of my favorite youtubers has found one of my favorite games! Good luck with the olms ;)
Tip: If You really care about rage how much You take from rage damage You can use mirror shield to nullify rage on opponent.
Friendship ended with Vampiric Axe. Now my new friend is Jagged Blade.
31:26 got me rolling
I'm pretty sure that if you restart the run you get to start out with some items, instead of having the same basic things
This build looks super fun
More of this game plz after the first video u got me addicted 😂 maybe try for an archer build they are really fun if u can get it going
I played this game and really liked it
"Where does it say that i have to give a shit"
-tyler 2022
So why didnt he reorganize the letter after useing it, then using the weapon so it dose like 80 damage instead of 47 that would be very good for the last boss as for it would not build rage or thorns.
He could take the spike so 47*3 was better
I got a pretty good brick and helmet build, got roughly 51 shield and 6 spikes to self each turn, getting a kill gave me 2 haste which gave me more shield per brick
Ah yes, the "mail and chainmail" build.
If I’m seeing correctly, the letter buffs weapons adjacent to it *before* it moves, meaning that by pressing the weapon against the top of the backpack loses you an extra use.
no after it moves it buffs adjacent weapons. If you had a shiv, for example, next to it at the bottom, when it moved up it would not buff it.
The letter buffs after moving. If it buffed before, you could just click it repeatedly at the top of the screen and buff infinitely
My hours of tarkov will finally go to use!
I check steam and it says this game still 11 months to release.
Where do you play it?
This look very fun and interesting.
this music is super similar to the stone tower music in majoras mask and i just keep humming it
