    I agree, the screwdriver is objectively bad in terms of damage. However, I still believe the screwdriver has its place in both beginner and advanced play. The blue railgun excels at single-target damage, the red railgun excels at CC/AOE, and the green railgun excels as a utility/survivability tool. Players need to be very close to enemies in order to heal off blood, and the green railgun practically turns an enemy into a temporary health fountain. Whilst I agree with the concept that the healing may be wasted due to hard damage reducing max health, keep in mind you can still technically increase your effective health to 200 or more depending on healing and how much hard damage you sustain, and even beginner players should have learned by their introduction to the rail cannon that standing still is not a good idea, hence why the screwdriver's healing radius is rather generous compared to conventional means. I find it most effective in rooms with a few major threats supported by fodder: I personally have a hard time micro-managing so many enemies in such a fast-paced game: I often employ sticking a slow or big enemy with the screwdriver so I can dance around them, healing off the stray fireballs I didn't see off-screen, then shifting my focus to the more important threats in the room with less enemies to distract me. Whilst I could use the red railgun, I often doubt myself without a large collection of foes to evaporate and I personally prefer core-eject instead due to the railguns' cooldown.
    Personally, I think the green railgun is fine. The healing isn't insane, but I see it as a way to enable calculated recklessness and allow players like me to begin considering what resources certain enemies may offer and engage in enemy layout and design with a deeper understanding, because in the end a regular player can beat the game by just considering enemies as things to kill: the green railgun may not wield terrifying power, yet I hold a respect to the weapon for getting my mind involved in ULTRAKILL.

    I also used it a ton when I was new to the game... so maybe it can be considered more of a noob friendly weapon? Certainly easier to use than railcoining or cannonnuking

      The problem with buffing the screwdriver’s healing is that you inherently make the player more reliant on it. Like, say, it lets you heal a small amount from sanded enemies. Okay, sure, but then new players will just go “why dodge when i can screwdriver”?
      Same goes for hard damage
      And, sure, it’d make it more viable… but is that really a good thing?

  • @ajdude9
    @ajdude9 2 года назад +29

    Screwdriver is definitely meant to be more of an assist in bosses due to the amount of healing it can pump out. If you're low on health (Let's say around 15), you could get in close to try to deal damage and get blood that way, but that puts you closer toward your enemy which makes it easier for you to hit. Now, of course, the best way to heal is to parry an attack, as it will fully heal you if you're successful. But this relies on both the boss using a projectile attack before you die and also you being able to parry the attack which will likely kill you on failure. Thus, the Screwdriver provides a strong alternative to both, allowing the player to quickly heal to full with very little risk involved (Just aiming and firing at midrange).
    Sometimes I like to pop Screwdriver if I'm low on health and don't trust my ability to parry. It's a safety net for newer players, but it's also a support railcannon charge rather than an offense or crowd control one.

    I wonder what boss, hits hard, but mainly goes in close quarters to deal damage.
    very curious.

    I personally like the screwdriver. Since if you move a lot in Ultrakill, there's less of a chance for you to get hit by something.
    With railcoining you have to stand still for about 4 seconds, which is a lot.
    The screwdriver however, while very hard to aim. Provides you with a shot that you can just shoot and keep moving.
    I like to parry the screwdriver and hope to catch some big guy with it, it's actually much easier than it looks like.
    And if you do land it, the screwdriver becomes op.
    Another thing is that - sure, you can insta-kill the mindflyer if you get the right timing. But again, what if you have to move a lot to avoid damage?
    Well the screwdriver is perfect, you can shoot the mindflyer giving you 8 sec of peace allowing you to get rid of some different enemies. Like angels, that simply will always make you keep moving.
    I use the railcannon for insta-killing angels if they're in a row, you can get a sweet tripple kill if you're lucky with the way they spawned. Angels require only one shot of the railcannon to immediately die.
    I also use it for killing big enemies quickly like for example malicious face, i punch a coin hoping for it to go to mal face. And if it does i shoot him with the railcannon to deal a shit ton of damage, sadly doesn't insta-kill.
    I like to try some railcoining occasionaly but i suck, it's difficult, and i don't see any real purpose to this. Beside speedrunning.
    My favroite mod for the railcannon is the green one, the screwdriver.
    That's just my opinion, loved the video. Thank you

    It's very much a 'noob player utility' moment to help the player get accustomed to Ultrakill. An anti-frustration mehcanic that provides leniency in player movement and dodging against bosses. As the player naturally improves against a boss, it's use will drop over time. As such, it really is peak game design, perfectly viable for its role and i will NOT BE ACCEPTING SCREWDRIVER SLANDER. IT DOES WHAT HAKITA WANTS IT TO AND EVERY NEW PLAYER APPRECIATES IT DURING THEIR 1ST BATTLES. ITS THE FUCKING GIVING TREE OF RAILCANNONS AND DERIDING IT BECAUSE IT DROPS OFF AS INTENDED IS FUCKING STUPID.

    I feel like the green rail has the potential to become more valuable without any additional balance, considering the railgun recharges even when the screw is out means you can just have screws be a perpetual source of DoT on heavy enemies as long as you keep parrying the screw (given there are 2 or more heavy enemies at a given time), however until the new difficulties come out its unlikely that anyone will put the time into doing this because the use case of having to use 2 railgun charges in a single encounter is so damn niche, especially given that the other options are 1: Remove big enemy instantly or 2: Remove all small enemies instantly. Its paradoxical, the use is there, there could be genuine value, but the value is still bad.

    i feel like the update that let you parry the screwdriver made it worse (for my play-style). i like to get in dirty with the fists and shotgun, and that meant that i needed more health, especially for bosses, which before the update, could be solved with the screwdriver. However, now i cant do that since i find myself punching bosses with the feedbacker a lot, leading me to get rid of my screwdriver.

    I just like green railcannon because
    1. Its like a boost to the damage you deal to the enemy. Shoot the enemy with it, and it attacks the enemy while in the same time you can attack the enemy with some weapons like marksman or some shotgun dealing more damage than usual.
    2. Its kinda ez to kill annoying enemies like Guttertank, Maricious face or even Gutterman with it
    3. It IS very good to deal hp to the player. Just hit and come near the enemy you shot with it. Very good to heal if you have much "hard damage" or somethin like enemy is hard to come near to and shoot with a weapon
    4. Damage : )
    5. Also not dealing damage to the player underwater like blue railcannon
    Kinda thinkin that all ultrakill players like the green railcannon because of it

    I'm seeing a lot of comments saying it's there to assist new players, and while in large part I agree, I don't think that means it should become useless to advanced players. Saying that it shouldn't be changed because 'buffing the healing makes it more of a crutch' is dumb; not only does it assume that there is no way to buff it besides increasing its healing, but...
    Imagine if railcoining was removed and the electric railcannon just straight-up did 27 damage. If that were the case, new players would use it as 'a crutch' for very obvious reasons; 27 damage is enough to oneshot almost anything -- and yet despite that, the electric railcannon is very much capable of inflicting 27 damage in a single shot without being a crutch, because doing that requires some degree of practice and knowledge to execute that more advanced strategy.
    Screw juggling is a great example of this and I like it a lot as a way to buff the screwdriver. It's hard to do, requires practice and knowledge, and also adds to advanced play by enabling the screwdriver to deal more damage at the cost of overall receiving less healing from an individual enemy (even if you don't hit it INTO something, knocking it out of an enemy deals a significant amount of damage, resulting in higher damage overall if you do it right before it runs out). Despite this, I still do think the screwdriver is overall lacking in depth, but not because it's a 'noob friendly weapon' but because, aside from screw juggling (which really needs to give style points btw), _it has no interactions with your other weapons._
    And okay. Sure. The pump charge doesn't have direct interactions either, but I think there's an important difference -- as the player's skill increases, their capability to deal damage becomes higher as they learn more numerous and more efficient techniques for dealing with enemies. At a low skill level, the railcannon is meant to be a game-changing move that you can do once in a while to turn the tables, and all three variants absolutely are. However, in order to stay relevant, they are given a lot of those interactions. Blue has conductor and railcoining, red has core nuking and...railcoining, and, well...the screwdriver doesn't really have anything. It's got juggling, but it's hardly strong enough to measure up to the other two at that level. Not to mention, cross-interaction is the bread and butter of this game.
    Ultimately, I think the way to go with the screwdriver would be to allow you to deal a lot of damage with it in exchange for its defensive boosts; having greater defense (like projectile blocking or enemy immobility or something) is another route to go but personally I find that a little less interesting, as with the damage option you still have a reason not to do that advanced technique for more healing (something the other variants actually kinda lack, not that that's a huge problem). This could be a lot of things, it's not hard to think of; enemies with nails in them could have those nails flung out to hit other enemies. Maybe it could interact with the shotguns somehow, negating its extra healing by requiring you to be up close to get that damage bonus regardless (and shotguns have fewer interactions than most other weapons). Maybe something with the rocket launcher. There's a lot of things you could do with it and it really deserves more love.

  • @TheEpicPancake
    @TheEpicPancake Год назад +1

    It's an okay tool on a weapon with a cooldown and massively useful damage output, which mostly makes it undesirable because of the alternatives. That being said, the ability to parry and keep the driver going through the entire cd is an interesting one. Strangely enough despite being a potent beginner tool it's the hardest to micromanage optimally because you have to keep the timer in your head and not accidentally kill whatever it's attached to. I actually use it more than the malicious cannon because -I I'm bad at nukes- there's so many aoe options in the game that burning the cooldown for it seems unappealing, though by far the normal cannon is the one I use most because basic railcoins are pretty easy to do and even disregarding that it's a snappy burst option with infinite range that can hit multiple enemies across said range with proper positioning.

    tbh i mostly use the green railcanon bc im not skilled enough to nuke or ultraricoshot twice on the same enemy in the heat of battle, so i mostly use the green railcanon do deal with the most annoying enemy on the field in the cybergrind so i can focus on the smaller guys while getting free heals. i usually just use the blue one tho but it rlly comes in clutch during the boss fights like the first prime sanctum where i rlly got the hang of it where it let me damage the prison, while dealing with the eyeballs and parrying the blue orbs. same for the minos fight where i could focus on dodging and parrying

    Hey it did help me with V2 on Greed since I could never get close enough to him to get a good heal so I can get an instant heal whenever he gets close. I barely ever use it but when I'm facing a boss who keeps decimating my health because I suck at actually dodging and can only move erratically like a mosquito and they keep catching up to me, a little screwing is always welcome.

  • @pspenguin6045

    I think I have two solutions to make the green rail better.
    1) you can now projectile boost the green rail and if it hit’s an enemy it will make an area of effect DoT (damage over time). This will leave a trail that that damages all enemy’s. For example think defenders crest from hollow knight. Note, you can see through the cloud and outlines would be drawn anyway thanks to the p-2 update.
    2) Since the main reason the other two rails are so good is because they can use coins. I say we let the green rail do the same, kinda. If the green rail is in an enemy and you shoot a coin. It will go to the screw and propel it to the next highest heath target. If an enemy is idolized it will be ignored in targeting. Note, the basic coin will not reset the timer on the screw, but the slab coin will add to the time left with demising results.
