Im new to tgc, but as a base genshin player. To be honest finding it fun, but seeing the context of views and matchmaking I feel like genious invocation should be it's own separate game. And be specially on mobile, where I feel it plays really well.

Flukemarm as a bossfight is interesting because it's the textbook definiton of a battle of attrition. Until you kill it, it will endlessly spawn waves of semi-homing enemies at you that will divert your attention away from dealing damage to the boss itself, which especially punishes players who like to passively heal. I won't lie, you solved that issue in a pretty interesting manner by using quick focus to tip the scale of attrition in your favor, which is actually the first time I've seen that. Most other players just walk into the boss room with a full soul meter and start spamming the howling wraiths (4 casts instantly chunks roughly 70% of it's health).
@ofcitszenАй бұрын
I noticed the Flukefeys couldn't hit me immediately when I stood in certain spots, so that gave me the idea to use Quick Focus xD I didn't know Howling Wraiths was THAT strong though, or I would've gone that route
@orca9281Ай бұрын
@@ofcitszen As a matter of fact, since you have one extra soul vessel, you could have equipped Shaman Stone, gotten full soul, and then casted 4 Howling Wraiths to deal 240 damage to Flukemarms 350 HP. Then just hit it 5 times and cast two more. It would've been over in 10 seconds. Howling Wraiths is very strong, but also very difficult to use properly in many cases, since it hits three times and it can hit enemies out of its own hitbox so you don't always deal full damage, and you are very open to get attacked yourself while casting it. But against a stationary boss like that it's really effective.

Ah yes, Flukemarm. Everyone's favourite boss... it's kinda hard to deal with when you don't one-shot those flukes she spits out so you might want to give it a couple tries but not overdo it if you get stuck. Other bosses are enjoyable to get humbled by / watch you getting humbled by, but 30 minutes of Flukemarm wouldn't make for the best episode lmao Also about the charms you use: Sure, there might be a meta and a certain fighting style that is better and faster than others, but just slapping on the "best charms" won't enable you to fight in said efficient way where they are useful. So while yes, Quickslash and Shaman Stone are two of the three charms that could carry the title of "best charm in the game" and "overpowered", it doesn't mean you would get certain use out of it. So just keep using whatever you want, the playthrough is also more unique that way :) Also also: You didn't get any info out of Elderbug, that's because he has a lot of things to say about the world and things that change, you just didn't exhaust his dialogue yet, so he should still have a hint for you if you keep talking to him. Although I am not sure if you would recognise it as hint. However the game gave you a more or less subtle hint in another place this episode and you even called it out, you just didn't make the connection. You'll find it eventually 👍

Oh, quick slash. Didn't think you'd find that one so quickly. In the previous comment I mentioned how Shaman Stone was in my opinion the second best charm in the game. Well, this one's the best. Absurdly strong charm, there isn't a single endgame build that doesn't use it.

I knew it was good, but... it's *that* good?? And here I thought the strongest charm was the dream shield (Im jk that thing is trash)
@LunareilАй бұрын
Finally kind of caught up with this series, and I just want to mention that Shaman Stone is, at least in my opinion, the second most overpowered charm in the game, and for a lot of people later in the game, especially speedrunners, it's by far the best. Maybe it won't suit you since you rarely cast spells, but the amount of damage they deal when used correctly is absurd, and in fact for speedruns it's the only charm ever equipped in the whole run for any% no major glitches. A lot of newer players don't like to use spells because they'd rather save the soul for healing, but then get punished for it immediately after and just lose the health they just regenerated. In reality, if they tried to deal and build more damage instead of trying to heal health they're just gonna lose immediately there's a higher likelihood they would have killed the boss before it dealt fatal damage to them. Imo in this game, the best defence is a great offence, and there's no charm that encapsulates that like Shaman Stone, I highly recommend it.

@orca9281Ай бұрын
@@ofcitszen That is an excellent question XD Tho this one is more of a small oversight than an actual glitch. You wait until you find a boss that can combo you tho. Since getting hit by spikes while you already have i-frames from being hit does not refresh the i-frames you can actually be hit during the respawn animation. Very niche, but I got absolutely destroyed by that once (5 hp lost and would've probably been more if I hadn't already died at that point)
