Absolutely Busted Critical Poison Build! | Tiny Rogues: Between Heaven & Hell

[@Retromation]

For the love of god, enough about the inventory slot 1 lol. Let me enjoy my Christmas in peace, death threats might be a little far, gang! This was about as easy of a run you can get, I promise you it didn't matter.

[@eraserdusting1840]

Peak game, peak series, peak creator, what else could one ask for on the morning of Christmas Eve!

[@tirlas]

Oops, for the "cast on crit" trait you had a stamima bush in inventory slot 1 (right side)

[@otaconpas]

Mana draining weapons deal bonus damage based on your current mana, so you want to use them in bursts, allowing mana to regenerate. In particular you don't want to drain all your mana, because you get mana burnt and it means it takes twice as long to regenerate mana. Also after spending a certain amount of mana, a mana star appears somewhere. If you pick it, you get some bonuses (faster regenerations, faster attack speed and you immediately stop being mana burnt)

[@Vicerion17]

For the future, the buff to damage if you only have one type of damage only applies to elemental damage i.e. fire, ice, lightning and poison with no other damage type affecting it at all. So no need to worry so much about taking stuff that's not elemental. As for those special rooms, I kinda like them. They can be difficult or down right unfair sometimes but that's why I like them, they give you a little shot of adrenaline that gets the heart pumping which can be needed especially when on a stupidly powerful run and just bulldozing the enemies, which can get repetitive fast.

So happy to see Tiny Rogues back! I love this one, just started playing again myself thanks to you! :)

[@ashbinator]

Awesome video, Tiny Rogues is a blast to watch! Regarding the cast on crit perk - I believe that it wanted you to have the weapon in your inventory slot 1, not an equipment slot. Definitely wasn't needed for this run, but wanted to give my two cents on why that perk didn't seem to be working.

[@ultimateprogamer5843]

I absolutely love seeing more of this game I've missed watching you play it a lot.

[@tarotterror]

Love watching Reto play Tiny Rogues!❤

[@z.s.7992]

Damn i gotta buy this soundtrack...this is awesome Edit: the sound design in general is great

[@Inspecteur_baguette]

I like ascention systems where you get more danger while also allowing you more build choices (ex : extra red items with elites in brotato) Also nice video

[@Retromation]

100% agreed, the new Revita system springs to mind. I vastly prefer when you are hit with "This goes wrong, _but_ you get a few more opportunities as well" even if the penalties vastly outweigh the benefits, it is a game-feel issue to just have options _removed_ and _removed._

[@pepelerezp6583]

The "Now there are more elites" from StS is the sweet spot for me. Harder but more opportunities to make your build and get stronger.

[@Retromation]

Ascension 1 >>>>> Ascension 0, it being harder but also easier if you know what you're doing. More risk, more reward.

[@awesomefuzz4008]

I will say, there is a handful of build options that can capitalize on some of the cinder modifiers. As an example, there's a Mastery option (and I think a couple of items?) that work against enchanted enemies, which synergizes with the dramatically increased amount of enchanted enemies when doing heavy-cinder runs. I will also mention, I actually kind of preferred some of the old cinder modifiers, as a couple were reworked; the old ones were pretty much always a serious problem, but the nature of the problems was almost always either 'pick your poison' or a unique way to make things harder (harder enemies via more/different bullets rather than HP/damage, etc). Sure, they were SERIOUSLY BAD (replacing the first level perk choice with negatives, for example, was a crazy thing to work around since you're losing a positive perk AND gaining a major drawback), and they were generally 'everything sucks now, deal with it', but the methods of dealing with it were fun. Now that cinder modifier has been replaced with only seeing the related stats of the first perk selection instead of the perk name. ...which makes it entirely irrelevant, just as long as you RNG into a good perk. Even if the perk you get doesn't do anything, it's still uninteresting since all it does is remove choice. The new modifiers are still good, and it's nice that 2nd phase bosses don't hit for 2 damage now, but the methodology is still a tad grating. -Stamina regen for the first 3 floors is also weird, since the first 3 floors really aren't a challenge anyway, particularly for anyone who's messing with cinder.

[@cosmicjester6341]

More Tiny Rogues, please 🙂

[@theelectricant98]

The dancing was so cute lol

[@mike6605]

34 classes now btw, every time you unlock some, more appear to unlock.

[@gemulgaming4014]

I think you can bomb the arcade machine at 10:44 . Get like 4-6 red dice to reroll

[@MineNAdventurer]

Steady Strikes when you get a lot of Attack Speed is super good. You gain so much damage. Theres also a perk iirc that increases your top damage by a percentage per strength you have (which of course pairs stupidly well with Zweihander and Goliath Boots)

[@Vibes33553]

Have a great holiday reto, don’t let them get to you. Thanks for the video and I hope to see some more Tiny rogues in the next couple days !

[@rifflerunderhill7006]

No maybe about it, this music bops.

[@GeorgeMaj15]

I LOVE this content. I also enjoy learning how things work together even if you take a bit to figure it out 😂 you're the best!

[@yourbetterhalf5301]

Ty reto for the content and happy holidays!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@luxx.44]

this game makes me so happy, thank you for a lovely gift christmas eve

[@dimon8760]

Cool game. Great game> Please do more.

[@soulreaper11207]

just did a run tonight with the same character and I got the most op weapon called the staff of unlimited power and the rocket gloves. got stopped by some gates with scale that said I wasnt good enough to pass.

[@brandonkruse6412]

Useless traits for your build is a pretty common thing now. It’s a rarity to be able to benefit from all 6 traits.

[@mike6605]

You can't use the armor repair consumable during combat btw.

[@diopap1529]

Is this channel now a tiny rogues channel? I m into that

[@Retromation]

It is a roguelike channel, Tiny Rogues is daily but it is only 1/3 of my daily uploads

[@KDoodleNoodle99]

Can’t wait for you to try the “ronin” class, I honestly think it is the most broken class in the game lol.

[@nachoigbexto1169]

Maybe someday you will do a challenge run with most of the cinders

[@zomburger2573]

My AWESOME COMMENT FOR INTERACTION AND VIDEO VISABILITY!!!

[@arerosl]

Probably some one mentioned it but you can detonate arcade machines similar to BoI

[@ubabyluna]

Saw your last video about this game, insta buy 😅 developers Say thanks tò Retromation, stonks 📈

[@dollarstorechicken]

I love you.

[@Retromation]

This is all happening so fast!

[@brandonkruse6412]

I’ve heard Ruby is working on adding ‘Classic Mode’ to the game soon for us older players that prefer the vanilla game lol

[@syntaxx0]

thank god. whatever hardcore gamers he consulted with or had testing this sort of ruined it for me. it just isn't... fun now. too focused on making this complex hardcore challenge. it seems like this problem happens a lot with developers who listen to their discord too much or consult with hardcore players only.

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@syntaxx0 not going to lie, I found the update to be a little overwhelming. It’s still a fun game regardless and some of the new bosses are pretty well designed but I just don’t think the game needed a whole new layer of meta-progression and hundreds of new weapons. there was a lot of charm with how simple the game was before the update and I would have rather had small updates once per month than a year worth of new systems and items all at once.

[@briana656]

strange, I unlocked the rogue before the wanderer and thought that I got that character because I had a successful run with the rogue.

[@Justicetom21]

The issue with meta-progress is two-fold, and three-fold if you're a KZbinr. First of all: If you do play with the meta progress, you always feel like you're progressing not entirely because of your skill, but because you have the meta progression to add to your abilities. Similarly, if you lose, you feel like, Well, If I Just Had That Meta Progress.... Secondly: If you play without it, you feel like you're missing out. I feel like I'm missing out on any video game if I'm not playing the hardest difficulty, because that's the CHALLENGE, that's the POINT, and if I'm good enough to challenge it, why SHOULDN'T I? Why would I play at Ascension 1 in STS if I'm good enough to beat 20? What's the point in beating the game 100% on Easy, when 100%ing it on Hard is more 'complete', and thus, I should feel more satisfied by doing it? If I do beat a game 100% on Easy, will I feel hollow, knowing I could have had more of a challenge? If I win a run on Ascension 1, how do I feel, knowing that that run couldn't have won on A20? Thirdly: Streamer why aren't you playing on the hardest difficulty??? it's sbo bORING that you win EVERYRB URN all the time always! Also I won't watch if you lose, because that'll be a boring video. BUT you have to play the HARDEST DIFIFICULYTYYTY

[@awesomefuzz4008]

I agree wholeheartedly! I DESPISE Rogue Legacy for that exact reason; runs are pretty much straight up unwinnable without metaprogression; THE TAS SPEEDRUN DIES 4 TIMES. On the other hand, Tiny Rogues has a pretty respectable system, since a lot of it is RNG manipulation or minor bonuses. There's a few outliers, but generally it's RNG mitigation or minor boons to get a run off the ground. On the other hand, you can have 30 of them active simultaneously. So maybe that'll make things a bit sillier.

[@RobewhO]

listen to me, streamer! i'm the most important voice in the crowd based on.. my opinion.

[@markcarbone9052]

Just sick...

[@KDoodleNoodle99]

I was trying intelligence runs last night and it feels like mana stars drop so much less it’s weird
