After several runs I've found that the wand spirit build is just plain broken. It gives free wand spirit + on every wand, additional wand slots per lv of the set, and gives free flight. Its just plain op. Its ONLY weakness is idle wand slots are useless and attacks are fully autonomous, so spell reflect enemies can kill you (only the second area really focuses on that). Also some tips: Scarlet rooms - You can take as many items as you want - Stack as much early shield as you can, scarlet rooms can proc as long as you take no HEALTH damage, shield damage is fair game - ALWAYS take the rewind key (unless its past area 2 PAIN) it resets the area at the cost of randomizing all your current stuff Wands - I find that secondary slots (idle, movement, spell cast, hit proc, and over time) are far more important since they auto cast those spells even when not in your hand - Focus on one or two spells per wand and fill the rest with modifiers for massive dps Spells - Don't sleep on magic bullet, the upgraded versions give percent damage bonus on hit targets 50% and 100% - Keep one element affect per wand or else the element becomes random per cast (element cloak relic gives every effect at random so don't waste slots on slime, ice, or poison) (flame core still good for its other effect) Other stuff - Potions are busted. If you ever get the potion relics as an option get them, the potions themselves are amazing and getting free health and mana and chance of infinite potions is crazy. - Funny enough final boss is easier than the first 2 elites IMO. Thunderbeast and Demonflower suck..... then Apostle, the rest kinda easy. Hope this helps and I got more tips if you want more let me know :)
Funnily enough, while the ghost character is busted on paper, I really don't like it with not being able to control my wands. My favourite base character is the one that lets you use your wands from range. Makes orbit builds very easy
damn, ive beaten the game on nightmare mode and done a bunch of testing of stuff in the starting dummy room and your teaching me stuff still, goes to show how insanely complex this game is
@@tokabe3826 I can understand that not being able to control your wands is a little weird after doing that as the default, but the AI for the wands and their aim is really good for the most part. It's just the auto attack against the reflect enemies is the only real downside IMO. Also with orbit wands, the wand typically stays at the optimal orbit range for the spell OR it stays at the farthest range of whatever spell is in the slot (like meteor the wand will not move). Also, the relic for the extended spell is obtainable, while the spirit one isn't. In the end its a matter of preference, there are many different ways to win, I just had the most consistent victories with spirit.
@@seraph4986 yeah and I haven't even unlocked all the spells yet! There are some new ones Beelz had in this run I haven't even unlocked yet. I can't wait for the wand slot runes, those will be a game changer for me, make even more ridiculous bs fly everywhere :).
@JordanJohnson-r3f fair enough, spirit is probably stronger, it's probably a byproduct of my end goal being the creation of singular weapons of mass destruction. Just yesterday I got a really cool build where you spawn remote control flame breath with fall, which lets you direct it anywhere on the screen. The wand was consistently reaching 400 thousand dps on its own.
The final worm boss is definitely a big dps check. If you can get the perk that lets you use your wands from distance, then making orbiting boomerangs is very strong. Orbiting flame breath is also strong. The mana absorption spell is also dumb if you can get it to fire every single frame on a wand that gets mana from casting spells or getting hits. My best run so far had me reaching 1.6 million dps from just 1 wand. Even on nightmare 3 the worm didn't stand a chance
This was on my wishlist for a while now but I finally pulled the trigger after your last video. I have not be able to stop playing it since. Just finally beat the final boss on easy mode. I have NEVER been stuck on a boss on an easy mode probably ever in my life. 11/10 recommend.
Exact same here, as a fan of Noita I had this game on my radar for ages but didn't wanna play it because it hadn't fully released yet. Picked it up with Beelz's last video and haven't been able to stop playing.
Pro tip. The blue orb upgraded to + especially ++ is worth it. Also, my ranking of rooms 1. relics 2. money 3. life. Life will be boosted after the sacrifice room when defeating a boss. In shops I always go for two 30 shields if possible and a double key if under ten keys. Otherwise 30 shield for 13 gold is worth it. The absolute best status effect is fire. Poison unfortunately only becomes good with ++. I have 500+ hours. I love this game. If you want any more tips let me know.
Tip for ya, when actively casting (holding the mouse button down) the wand will charge mana slower compared to not pressing it. So high mana spells are more efficient by clicking. Plus your move speed goes down while casting. I'm on nightmare 3, but have not upgraded all outfits yet so usually the damage falls off around the last area. Need to farm those ancient bloods.
7:10 the fire elemental core from one of the first mythic core packs (from the girl you save after defeating the area 3 boss) has a 5% hp burn effect that could be helpful for it. It may be unreliable due to how often you can get it but perhaps that and poison will help
Your last vid got me to buy this game. Only done 3 runs, haven’t won so far BUT I got to the third zone and I’m steadily unlocking npc’s and upgrades, having a great time. Now all I need is a run with Fuse and as many big dumb explosions as possible to live out all my Megumin dreams!
The most broken build I've found is the dash build. Move-to-mouse cursor, duration increase, charge spell, and as many damage increasing modifiers as you can jam into your wand trivializes the game. Bonus if you get the spells move through walls and the stealth relics (you'll come out of your dash in stealth where you can safely wait until your cooldown is up)
Meanwhile the game at 1:04:56 - "You can adjust the spell transparency in (Settings -> Gameplay) if spell effects are too flashy.", the game knows, oh the game *knows* xD
i love how he hypes up the end boss so much but plays in hard mode, though ngl nighmare is insanely difficult and is probably a nightmare to make videos on edit: there is a spell opacity setting in the gameplay section of the pause screen
For those who are stuck at hard or later difficulty, here is how to beat em. Do not sleep on Poison, Cursor Tracking and Charge Mode. Poison. It applies on hit so, pair them with a fast hitting spell like black hole or laser beam. Cursor tracking and charge mode is self-explanatory. Or y'know, assemble the EXODIA(metaphorically). What do the exodia do you ask? With enough money, you can infinitely heal all the damage you take. What is the exodia you ask? Simple. 1 rare spell 1 unique secret spell and 1 epic relic. I won't tell you about the first 2 until the last paragraph of my comment and here's the hint so you can explore the game without spoiler basically. -It has something to do with the statues on stage 2 and the secret spell Is not guarantee so it can take many2 runs until you get it. The epic relic is Prospector's Vest(Restores equivalent HP when picking up coins). . . . . . . . . The rare spell is Meteor, before 1.0 Deceptive Mine is also work but in 1.0 it didn't destroy the statue. Yes statue can drop unique spell and pair with Prospector's Vest, you get yourself THE EXODIA.
I just wish more care was put into the encounters themselves. The amount of health enemies have in later stages drags it out so much. There have been way too many times in this game where i get hit by something and don't feel like i could do anything about it. Really makes me appreciate the enemy design of other games more but i really wanted to enjoy the game. Half of the fun of roguelikes is trying to play out the dumb and under powered builds. If all you ever do is try to cheese them to oblivion it stops being fun real quick. It especially sucks for a game like this that should do it's best to encourage creativity. Another problem that indie roguelikes have is just copying things from other games that did well seemingly without consideration. I don't really see how having waves of enemies for each room benefits this game etc.
@@Curiomerc One of my strongest build by far is mostly crated by common and rare spells. Even the exodia is pale in comparation to it. That wand only have 1 unique spell but what it does is it increase my spell size which I totally didn't need. Near 50k dmg and 3k - 100k poison. Like no joke. "The amount of health enemies have in later stages drags it out so much" I thought so too until I have this build.
@@badcake4915 The game's biggest and arguably only strength is the build creativity. Balancing the game around the most broken builds is counter intuitive. I'm aware that you can break the game, you can do so with most roguelikes. It spearheads you into a select few playstyles that trivialize the game. At that point why would i play this game over other games in the same genre. They've somehow managed to end up with less build variety despite having a trove of options.
Altho i have absolutely no idea as what is going on, i find it funny that a flying sword cultivator somehow finds a way to infuse the sword with blackhole that is also a rainbow cake of D.O.T
Ive been playing magicraft a lot since the first vid, and still got plenty to unlock. I have yet to beat the final boss of area 4, but its super fun when a build gets going
The fight where you lost all that shield highlights my only real complaint with the game, because there are so many cool and powerful wand and spell combos that inevitably end up covering the whole screen and making it impossible to see anything going on. To prevent this the enemies and their attacks really should be set to the top layer so that they sit above your attacks and not the other way around.
1:46 going for relics as much as you can and ignoring shops/reforge stations is pretty good . what i like to do is get relics and max hp as much as posible so i can spend hp on legendary relics and acumulate pasive power with relics . also the relic that gives you dmg for gold you have is SSS tier . usuali it gives me like 250%-400% more dmg on runs so that one is priority for me to get 2:40 that chance to get gold on kills is also extremeli good my room priority is - relics- max hp- gold- spells-reforge/shops 11:04 bro just take all of them xD . they are all really good . the msot busted one is the one for quaranteed chests/statues 39:01 bro that was your best relic xD 44:02 dude you know you can pick more than one right ? on my new run chapter 1 i managed to get the golden pickaxe to lvl 3 and its giving me 117% more dmg to EVERYTHING with only 187 gold . you were really happy previously with 20% from the other relic . you are sleeping too much on the gold pick :D 315% ALL (friendly not enemy) dmg up by the end of chapter 2
I am good and awesome in my two days off, starting with video of yours 😅 it's silly game but good for me so I can listen to you while cleaning the tanks , the fishes thank you hahahah
I did mess with that while trying a few different options. You can give each wand 1 stack of it. Maybe it's possible to signal boost multiple stacks but I don't think I did it right, or it's only possible to get 1 stack. Either way, it's a pretty strong effect.
Bro i thought you were playing in hard mode, that wasn't hard mode i think its higher than that, u were playing blind from the effects and deaf from the audio glitching out🤣
Gotta say the dmg and the visuals... they don't match. I mean you do dmg don't get me wrong but visuals feels like you would collapse the universe on itself
I've put out fails before but in this particular instance the video dragged and felt very.... dull by the end. Just me kiting bosses around for 6 minutes each in the last chapter. Became extremely tedious.
@@Beelz55 well you could speed it up if you feel like its draging too much . but because you didnt post it theres many first time reactions that we mised : / . i think thats one of the reasons many people watch other people play is to see how they feel/react to new thing
3:19 I can't believe we have Beelz missing chests on another game now
1:03:08 and a free key lol
After several runs I've found that the wand spirit build is just plain broken. It gives free wand spirit + on every wand, additional wand slots per lv of the set, and gives free flight. Its just plain op. Its ONLY weakness is idle wand slots are useless and attacks are fully autonomous, so spell reflect enemies can kill you (only the second area really focuses on that).
Also some tips:
Scarlet rooms - You can take as many items as you want
- Stack as much early shield as you can, scarlet rooms can proc as long as you take no HEALTH damage, shield damage is fair game
- ALWAYS take the rewind key (unless its past area 2 PAIN) it resets the area at the cost of randomizing all your current stuff
Wands - I find that secondary slots (idle, movement, spell cast, hit proc, and over time) are far more important since they auto cast those spells even when not in your hand
- Focus on one or two spells per wand and fill the rest with modifiers for massive dps
Spells - Don't sleep on magic bullet, the upgraded versions give percent damage bonus on hit targets 50% and 100%
- Keep one element affect per wand or else the element becomes random per cast (element cloak relic gives every effect at random so don't waste slots on slime, ice, or poison) (flame core still good for its other effect)
Other stuff - Potions are busted. If you ever get the potion relics as an option get them, the potions themselves are amazing and getting free health and mana and chance of infinite potions is crazy.
- Funny enough final boss is easier than the first 2 elites IMO. Thunderbeast and Demonflower suck..... then Apostle, the rest kinda easy.
Hope this helps and I got more tips if you want more let me know :)

Can confirm. Games hard. Kicks my ass very regularly.
"I'm walking the dog" with the laser beams cracked me up. Great video and run

invisible spells!
33:00 forgetting the curse removal artifact is a real lazymattman moment
Didn't think I'd see a Warm Snow reference in this game. Very cool character class. Another great game.

You've made me addicted to this game. Its such a great gameplay loop. Thank you bastard! ❤
Watching other peoples runs makes me wonder how many times I also miss chests when playing compared to watching.

first image i see first thought is samurai lol; the warm snow crossover design looks pretty good
Beelz casually missing multiple chests 15 minutes into the video 😂
Great content as always
Astral Ascent announced a collab with Dead Cells, great time to support them and make vids on it.
The fight where you lost all that shield highlights my only real complaint with the game, because there are so many cool and powerful wand and spell combos that inevitably end up covering the whole screen and making it impossible to see anything going on. To prevent this the enemies and their attacks really should be set to the top layer so that they sit above your attacks and not the other way around.
15:15 that is why i like using it with lightning storm as well
Beelz! This game is so dope! I'm very pleased that you're playing it again 😊
You can go into the settings and change the spells opacity so you can actually see what's going on in the later stages of the game
When you interrupted your intro, then interrupted the interruption for the epilepsy warning, I said "WOW HOURGLASS"
great vid beelz also respect for giving the warning at the beginning
1:46 going for relics as much as you can and ignoring shops/reforge stations is pretty good . what i like to do is get relics and max hp as much as posible so i can spend hp on legendary relics and acumulate pasive power with relics . also the relic that gives you dmg for gold you have is SSS tier . usuali it gives me like 250%-400% more dmg on runs so that one is priority for me to get
2:40 that chance to get gold on kills is also extremeli good
my room priority is - relics- max hp- gold- spells-reforge/shops
11:04 bro just take all of them xD . they are all really good . the msot busted one is the one for quaranteed chests/statues
39:01 bro that was your best relic xD
44:02 dude you know you can pick more than one right ?
on my new run chapter 1 i managed to get the golden pickaxe to lvl 3 and its giving me 117% more dmg to EVERYTHING with only 187 gold . you were really happy previously with 20% from the other relic . you are sleeping too much on the gold pick :D
315% ALL (friendly not enemy) dmg up by the end of chapter 2
Every time Beelz show a game , it ends on my backlog on steam, why Beelz ? Why ?
I'm gonna tell my wife that you are the one making me buy games.
I was just talking about how much I loved warm snow😂
Good job, dude! Congrats on melting the WERM!
This game looks fun! Ngl i would love to see how a summon build works out.
10:38 Btw, description of the Silver compass is bad - it spawns chests and statues in all rooms until the end of run.
In the menu you can make your projectiles transparent so you can see the screen better.
God damn falling dragon fire is cool, i wanna do it asap. I wish to make hellfire rain down upon my enemies.
I am good and awesome in my two days off, starting with video of yours 😅 it's silly game but good for me so I can listen to you while cleaning the tanks , the fishes thank you hahahah
12:05 missed another chest. Beelz!
You can also go into the settings and make your cursor a lot bigger so you can see it through the colour pollution.
I'm gonna change your life on this game: settings > spell transparency
45:05 you forgot the beard which doubles summon limit. Yea you said good items, but i love a good summon build
Bought after the first video. This is chill er noita and I like it, thanks beelz
I imagine that you know already, but you can change the flashiness of the spells in the settings.
You can just remove poison and other status effects if you have rainbow bouquet wand or relic
Important question, could you signal boost magic vine; just dedicate one giant wand to giving every other wand stupid mana capacity and regen?
I did mess with that while trying a few different options. You can give each wand 1 stack of it. Maybe it's possible to signal boost multiple stacks but I don't think I did it right, or it's only possible to get 1 stack. Either way, it's a pretty strong effect.
I need more of this game
Did someone say warm snow?!
Did I hear warm snow?!
Please for the love of god press the tab button during combat
Beelz know about the the spell transparency slider?
warm snow is a great game.
The cosmic radiation build
Whata happens if you combine the mana vine with the are boost ? 4 instances of increased boosts ?
From what I saw yes
I just can’t get into this game, idk why. I just end up wanting to play Isaac more
So it’s a pesticide build?
Bro i thought you were playing in hard mode, that wasn't hard mode i think its higher than that, u were playing blind from the effects and deaf from the audio glitching out🤣
try prism core passive spell and split + multiple modifier,,
Also black holes d,g is weak in comparison to other spells
yep
Dude! You take hard mode too serious!!! next time try change the spells opacity in the menu!! 😅😅
Gotta say the dmg and the visuals... they don't match. I mean you do dmg don't get me wrong but visuals feels like you would collapse the universe on itself
