The broken hammer 'misses' if you kill the enemy with the first attack OR they move somehow from directly in front of you. Its why you kept getting frail at the end of rounds because you would kill the enemy, the hammer would swing at no one and 'miss'. And as for the gambler you upgraded him THEN looked at the upgraded side hence the confusion with the damg numbers. The upgrade was actually 0-15 damg to 0-20 damg
The portals will cycle until you have gone through all of them, so you can effectively "farm" them until there are no more options. Think of it as all of the portals you can go through have been decided at the start, and it can get through all of them or go to the boss as soon as it appears. The party members also have 3 abilities plus slap, at the start of every run you can choose one member and 2 of their abilities, and you'll get one other random member. If you have active bias on it will get a member that compliments the squad, as in: if you choose a damage dealer as your sure companion it will try to choose a healer, or vice versa. Party members acquired through the run will have 2 random abilities from their 3. Hope this helps :)
I always suggest going straight for any gold/blue portals. Especially in the second area since almost every npc in the second area can be unlocked as a playable character.
some small advice: you shouldnt ALWAYS take all of your party members, while yes, more party members = more damage, it ALSO means you have less room to doge, a party of 5 cant get out of harms way, same goes with pigment, sometimes a battle simpaly has no red enemys, in that case someone like boyle would be useless, try to think about it like this "is this party member good for this battle, or sould i keep him for a diffrent battle?"
Good job! You got the Stolen Gold which is an amazing item! Here are some tips: 1. If you go into "Party" menu you can change the party starting positions, so you can put them in better spots at the start of the fight. Or you can put them out of the current party in the "storage" to have a smaller party. Which deals less dmg but its easier to dodge. For example you can remove the party members that use red if you see enemies won't give you any red. 2. If you need some blue pigment for healing you can attack empty spaces (with Slaps or other attacks). 3. If you feel the game is taking too long you can turn off the attack animations in the menu. This will make it quicker but I'd recommend you to leave them for now, bc they look really cool. 4. As Bosch have said, not everyone one is a recruitable party member. Some are just NPCs you can talk too. Party members are usually more "distinct".
11:35 I realize you misread the gambler's hand. You don't have a chance to hit for double damage; you have a chance to GET hit for double damage. You also have a chance to get hit for regular damage, or no damage. Oh well, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. Edit: 23 minutes in, you found out... and it worked okay.
About the pathing in areas: I usually full clear and I go like this. I proritize money chests, NPCs and easy fights until I save 20 coins. Then I check the item shop, then I save 14 coins and then check the character shop. This way you afford the things you can buy. And then I upgrade my characters.
if a blue encounter is a waste of time, it's usually easy to tell if the character you're trying to talk to is not a time waster since (some encounters occasionally have multiple) it is usually implied they can be recruited in some way also most time wasters are in zone 1 anyway
Pro tip: always go for the yellow/golden portals, specially if they contain gray chests. The faster you can upgrade your boyos, the easier it becomes to defeat enemies... Oh and if you find a dude sitting next to a bonfire, try to interact with the environment.
Love this game, I’m on and off for most series but I’ll be here for this whole series. Also, I love how this game makes complicated gimmicks for fights, but ties it to a conceptual model so it’s intuitive, like roid’s exhaustion mechanic.
Advice: hovering over the enemy icon in the timeline will show you which positions its going to attack/affect alongside a description of the move they'll use.
I would recommend trying to read the passives a bit more, also maybe don't bring stolen gold into a boss fight. One last thing, having more party members isn't always a good thing
Just checking out the game, but I subscribed for "You can slap if you want to... you can leave your friends behind." because I thought of the same lyric with how you said it and then felt validated
Glad you didn't ditch your item. You forgot there's people in the game that just waste your time. That dude at the start seemed like one of those "time waster" npcs.
@@OlexaYT True, but the dude last episode said there's people that just waste your time, and this is the second time I saw this game. So, I'm roughly at the same level of knowledge as you.
i love that you started a new series, but id love to have numbers on your vids. that way people can easily click the next vid without having to check the video history on the channel tab. just a lil quality of life thing, whether directly, in context of the title or just the thumbnail
Unfortunately, numbering videos results in views absolutely tanking on them. It’s something I used to do diligently and the reality is it hurts more than it helps
@@OlexaYT damn, never knew that. i guess thats fine then, ive seen a lot of youtubers not put numbers on anything making it really hard to keep track after the 100th episode or so. that at least explains that :(
@OlexaYT lol I saw your videos last night for the first time. Didn't get any recommendation about the others while watching it, so I guess RUclips is praying on your downfall.
The amount of times I confused slippery for skittish (and vice versa) in my first couple runs was disheartening to say the least lmao. Like you have this big play lined up and then... Oops. 🙃
I like your content man, but after watching a few of your videos, I have determined that you are high as balls when you make these videos. It may help the content with an aloof personality, but it's also very frustrating when you go off on a tangent that you are completely wrong about. Keep up the work, may want to cut back on the weed when making videos. Or, hell, keep at it. Maybe it's your personality.
This seems like a you problem. I’m pretty sure there’s only one character with a % chance based attack and you unlock them way later in the game so you wouldn’t have them this early.
@@OlexaYT I mean it was on the very first fight? I've played lots of games like this (I can beat Battle Brothers legit on the second from hardest setting) so it just seems like a stupid mechanic.
Imagine how powerful he would be if he could read.

Huh so you can actually clear a region until the last one is the boss? so you can return to an npc?
It’s always so cool to watch the game start to click for people. Very excited for what you find in the Orpheum next episode!
You made an awesome game :)

keep it coming. im loving your adventure through this game. truly the series will get wild later on.

So glad you are playing this game! This is one of my favorite games, even got into modding for it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Advice: hovering over the enemy icon in the timeline will show you which positions its going to attack/affect alongside a description of the move they'll use.
yeah we start doing that part way through this video and definitely in the next, no worries
30:15 no, if there is no enemy opposing it when it attacks after the previous action, frail is applied.
Moar Brutal Orchestra, thank you!! So so excited to watch you play through the rest of the series
Let's gooo! Keep up the good work in making entertaining content and searchin for that next big series! Best of luck with the Algorithm!
Fastest 36 minutes and 38 seconds I've felt in a time
Oh heck yeah finally you're playing this game!
Finally someone making vídeos about this game. It's a masterpiece.
Hell yeah!!! More Brutal orchestra!
“Mini-series”, he said.
This game is so cool. I can’t wait to see more
This game seems great, excited for the series
11:20 made me audibly scream at my screen.
30:10 also made me want to punch a wall
It’s a videogame my guy, chill
@@OlexaYT ik i just have anger issues
happy to see this as a series!
I love watching you play this game, can't wait to see the next area
YEESS FUCKING FINALLY GIVE THIS GAME MORE LOVE
I would recommend trying to read the passives a bit more, also maybe don't bring stolen gold into a boss fight.
One last thing, having more party members isn't always a good thing
Stolen gold in a boss fight is amazing though? It’s like a guaranteed 30 gold lol
@@OlexaYT well its a bigger reward for a bigger risk
@@Skunksioolenky has always been high risk high reward though.
You should be able to see every passive effect described in the menu.

I didn't forget, this is my first ever run lol. I don't know what's up or down in this game
@@OlexaYT True, but the dude last episode said there's people that just waste your time, and this is the second time I saw this game. So, I'm roughly at the same level of knowledge as you.
Anton looks like someone from the LISA games. some move animations seem to also be of reference to those games too.
This game is so good
Love this game.

I’ve got the playlists up to date and organized so everything is in order, linked in descriptions of videos
@@OlexaYT oh, didnt think of that. thanks
Yamazing
Lol, I was so sad when I watched ep 0, I was so interested, but it stopped. Never thought you were gonna continue it till I saw this.
I’ve uploaded Brutal Orchestra everyday since that first episode 🙃
@OlexaYT lol I saw your videos last night for the first time. Didn't get any recommendation about the others while watching it, so I guess RUclips is praying on your downfall.
RUclips struggles with proper promotion at times
Yes please more :)
As a Portuguese, i don't think that npc is speaking portuguese xD
Ye i think olexa anda a fumar
I clicked this as I thought it was a Dad N Me spinoff game, but this is still interesting
to help out all enemies have passives you should read
My head aches with how he plays this 😂
This was my first non-tutorial run ever, we will improve.
@@OlexaYT that was not a dig…my head actually hurts with these kinds of games but I love seeing how you try to solve it
I feel like the gamblers hand would be better on Hanz since he has so low health anyways
No lol
Hylics lite can't hurt you it doesn't exist

Mustplay
Mustpay
As an Portuguese i did not understand what you meant whit that
im the biggest anton fan
My understanding was this game was supposedly completely choreographed. So presumably thier is some way to tell which way Roid will move.
There is not to my knowledge
Sometimes you speak exactly like Northernlion

I promise I’m not high, I’m just stupid
I think there are several variants on non Nowah starting skills. Which is why two Randoms is annoying thing to do.
Olexa is really bad at reading descriptions so far in this series lmfao
*reading in general
Pepe popo
I liked hard games but this one made me mad many times
I attacked an enemy 6 times in a row and didn't hit anything. Has to be one of the dumbest combat systems I've seen in any game.
This seems like a you problem. I’m pretty sure there’s only one character with a % chance based attack and you unlock them way later in the game so you wouldn’t have them this early.

Then I have no clue what you were doing lmao
@@OlexaYT Thats why it seems like a bad game. During the tutorial fight, on the second mob, no attack would land.
Were you not in the same lane as the enemy?
I realise why the views are getting lower and lower...
WOOOOOO THERES MORE
