I feel like blind pestes are just small brass constraptions, which explains the problem people have with them. Which is really more of a problem with siphoned forest than the pestes themselves.

[@thescrimble]

terrible enemy until you get aoe, worst thing in the game to get on stage 1 so imo siphoned forest should be illegal

[@YayaBunWa]

If I don’t die in stage 1 or the start of stage 2 (beetle guards…), I don’t tend to lose outside of being brazenly dumb - monsoon, eclipse, or not. On stage 1 though, it’s ALWAYS cos I can’t get speed or healing for blind pests & only them. Siphoned Forest is so damn nasty.

[@shrunker684]

doesnt really help that the map'a visibility is terrible for finding loots, so you will be stuck for a little bit longer compared to other stages

[@backwardsbandit8094]

I feel like Woolie's take on blind pests isnt going to reflect the majority of the playerbase because hes generally a very highly skilled player whereas most of us are just average skill and in it for fun rather than high skill livestream challenges. Blind pests to like 95% of the player base are just lesser wisps but several times more dangerous and for some reason 1000% more dangerous as elites than elite lesser wisps.

[@steffangls]

27:38 lore wise the parents are the children of their species from the planula log: "Yes - the egg. The grandparent incubates the eggs." "And the child?" "The child lays the egg."

[@TheLeviathan1293]

Yeah, but no armor and still less health than bosses. In particular if you want to kill an Alloy Worship Unit that has like 4 times the health of an elite boss (Its base health of 2500 is not correct) a void reaver just does it fast.

[@Delfigamer1]

A lot of the twitch chat seemed confused as to what the ranks are based on, so let me share the results according to the freudian psychoanalysis. The enemies are tiered according to "how happy Woolie feels when seeing the enemy on stage", with A being "quite happy", C being "okay", F being "absolutely hate" and GUP being "gup".

[@RodrigoTheHappyDog]

[@lynameep223]

Void Jailers are probably the single most dangerous enemy in Looped runs.. Like you're right about never seeing them outside of extremely rare occurrences but once you start looping these things end almost all of my looped runs at one point or another simply because their pull can seemingly happen from any distance and I've had countless instances of being pulled directly into their explosion so I'd say they're an easy F.

[@Chuckychargeblade]

I dropped a captain nuke on a void seed for an easy clear as I went to go grab nearby loot from the rest of the stage. Motherfucker pulled me RIGHT into the blast after it had been cooking for like 15s, rooted me there so I could be forced to watch my imminent demise for next few remaining seconds of my life, and then instantly made me kill myself along with him. Actually pulled me down with him. I never had a strong opinion on them before but now I HATE HATE the jailers.

[@YayaBunWa]

I honestly don’t even know what the rare one does. I’ve seen it twice, both times in the void realm place (pre-boss fight), and it honestly just tanked after aggroing my drones both times & dying without much fireworks. … So yeah, genuinely have no idea what it does. Is it strong?

[@Chuckychargeblade]

@@YayaBunWa The rarest one is the devastator, which is a big crab looking dude. He’s a decently tanky boss enemy that doesn’t have anything too scary. He just kinda has a bigger explosion than the reavers. The lobster looking jailers though… forever my mortal enemy

[@jandamz1119]

@@YayaBunWa The Crab bois (Devastators) fire a slow projectile that can deal some decent damage. The only thing that you should be aware of is their Scatter void implosions. Whenever they die, just like any Void mob, they implode. The key difference with the devastator being they drop a scatter of smaller implosions after the initial big one.

[@TMGTurdFerguson]

Voidling could use a rework on the last phase. The phases feel a little too "samey" with minimal additions each phase. If the final phase had a significant change like Mithrix it would make it much more fun (Mithrix's final phase is arguably the easiest, but it's still fun and interesting). They could even go a similar route to Mithrix, make the final phase something unique and fun but not necessarily the hardest part of the fight.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

I think it is less the final phase which needs new mechanics rather we don't need 3 phases of the exact same thing. Phase 1 and Phase 3 are the only unique ones, you can to my knowledge completely remove Phase 2 or better yet make it like Mythrix where you fight a bunch of void enemies in phase 2. This would put it in line with Mythrix save for lacking a phase 4.

[@punchoponcho5238]

What if voiding corrupted your items each time you got hit in final phase and dealt more damage for each item you had corrupted

[@noxtide7043]

@@Buglin_Burger7878 imo I feel like they should remove the platforming sections. It feels very gimmicky and padding out the fight, and it's not fun to get all the way only to fall once or twice and lose the entire run. Maybe a better idea would be to go through the voidling portal, and then have voidling fire at you from different portals as you go from one section of the area to the other side and enter the portal to continue the fight? It would make him seem more menacing and like he is the ruler of the void, instead of just vanishing and patiently waiting until you do wonky platforming

[@TheLeviathan1293]

Voidling could also use a little adaptive armor instead of so much health. If you get damage and proc chains every phase is just get close, burst your dps until it dies and go next phase. Mithrix almost always has something to say because he gets his armor. At this point even alloy worship unit has more interesting defense mechanisms.

Enemies, damages, items, maybe a survivor (Arti) or two? Just make things a bit more worthwhile, or tone down the insane things a little bit (or bring the power of some stuff up some). Maybe it's too much to ask for. So I'm happy just waiting for the DLC I suppose.

One thing I'd like to point out is that Lunar Wisps are very dangerous when you're playing ror 2 on the switch. Lunar Chimeras are bugged to get any other kind of elite aspect instead of perfected, meaning that they can spawn in the beginning of Commencement as a malachite or overloading Lunar Wisp. If you don't get away from the entrance quick enough, they'll make you regret ever coming to Commencement on the first loop

[@literatemax]

25:33 2% isn't THAT low of a chance. It's just that the Lunar Family Event can only happen on stage 10

[@Barely_Edited]

Yeah but that 2% could be any other family event for meadows (wisps or Gup) So it’s sky meadows only, 2% family event, and then has to roll the 1/3, meaning seeing the event is very rare And that’s assuming they’re weighted equally which they might not be Apparently thought it can also occur on void locus? Not that you go there often but still, a chance

[@icetide9411]

Blind pests are still the bane of my existence and I despise them because they're just nuisances

[@camanuvonkeque]

I can't agree on Blind pests. They spawn like Wisps (3-5), they have more HP than Wisps so you can't just oneshot them most of the time, they fly (so more difficult to hit than ground enemies, they straife, their attacks are quick enough AND only 1 sec cooldown on the attack; But the worst part is their dmg: they do more dmg than Brass contraptions and their damage scales more than BC's. So to summ it up: spawn in groups like wisps, faster than wisps, do more damage than BC's, scale more, have faster AS and they attack instantly when they spawn. So I'd say that they are the worst part of the DLC. I sometimes want to turn the DLC off so that I won't have to deal with those unbalanced craps

[@camanuvonkeque]

Oh and one tier 2 elite of blind pest has enough damage to one shot you (for real go check their dmg and scaling that's freaking insane)

[@TheLeviathan1293]

@@camanuvonkeque One tier 2 beetle has enough damage to one shot you. But there exists OSP But no, blind pests don't deal more damage than contraptions. They have 15 base damage and attack for 200% damage, while brass contraptions have 10 base damage with the same percental growth and hit for 500% damage. Vultures have 15 base damage with the same growth and hit for 225% damage so Vultures are the strongest pests.

[@SillyPotatoCat]

@@camanuvonkeque hehehehe oh boy lemme introduce you to celestial/malachite blind pests

[@camanuvonkeque]

@@TheLeviathan1293 you're correct, yes. And yet contraptions have to hit you with their ball to deal more damage. Even if BC's projectile was exactly as fast as BP's, you still have a ton of time to react to the attack. While BPs spawn and attack you immediately. So at lvl99+ it's 300+ base dmg from non-elite, 600+ base from tier 1, 1500+ base from tier 2. With 200% calculations are simple enough. And yet the damage isn't the only problem. They spawn at stages 1 and 2 pretty often while they are comparable to BC's and vultures! And not only comparable, they have better and faster attack animations with a quite damaging spit while surrounding you like wisps! AND unless you got a lucky item (a couple of crowbars) you don't one shot them! So my biggest problem with BP's and why I think they are the worst mob now: if one compares them to wisps, then BPs are faster, do more dmg, have more HP, attack faster yet they spawn in big groups, they have more range; if one compares them to BCs, then BP's are faster, have much lower CD on attacks, in little groups do comparable damage while having tinier hitbox; if one compares them to vultures, then BPs have almost the same damage with a quicker attack speed (maybe I'm wrong and they have the same timer but it's still a lot), they spawn closer to you, projectile animation is faster, and they spawn on stages 1 and 2.

[@CommandoBlack123]

I swear this tierlist was tiered upside down on purpose

[@TheLeviathan1293]

35:44 That also depends on the proc coefficient. So for example a clay templar only has 5% chance of applying collapse per shot. Voidtouched enemies also have reduced base damage (around 71% of the normal base damage).

It's probably good for you to know Woolie since you kill Voidling so often, you can get the Lunar Chimera Family Event in Void Locus too, not only Sky Meadows :)

[@cheatlink11]

Tbh the only thing I like about the voidling fight right now is that it's optional. No cool end cutscene, not a very fun boss (too long, not much interesting going on at any point), and unless you're on a God run, one small mistake could insta kill you.

[@hshot2000]

I don't think my problem with Blind Pests is so much their damage or number of them, but the fact that their spawn in is practically silent (which could be a setting problem on my end) and also no visual cue for it either, since they just drop in from above. A lot of the time I'm fighting other stuff and then I get tagged with an elite pest's insta-kill damage before I know they're even there. Also, they seem to spawn in elite variants way more commonly than enemies that hit similarly hard. People compare these things to Brass Contraptions, but at least you can hear those spawn with their very distinct sound cue, and also hear them charging their attack, whereas Blind Pests just attack with a medium speed projectile, with no wind-up. edit: Okay, so they are very audible when they arrive... on their own. When it's in the midst of gunfire and other things attacking loudly, it's very easy to miss, and like I said, they're fast to attack when arriving. Not a great combo.

[@KiuhKobold]

Thinking of the beetle guard, the only thing worst than their shockwave/sunder attack basically being a heat seeking missile is that it pulls you INTO the beetle and his friends. Specially terrifying if you are caught jumping

Have to personally put Blind Pests into FFF tier. Sure they are practically one shot. But if you are doing monsoon runs with them spawning early you can just go restart.

59:20 I mean I don’t stand behind a wall when fighting Voidling, I do my best to actually dodge the attacks and make sure I have enough tanking power and speed that the homing missiles that do hit me don’t kill me. Yes, you can fight Voidling while standing behind a wall, but you can also use Eccentric Vase to get out of Mithrix’s arena and then he simply can’t hit you except for with triangles (he won’t attempt the hammer slam if you’re near the rim of the structure), but you don’t have to do either of those things, because doing so makes the fight unengaging.

You forgot to rank the strongest enemy in the game, the pot.

[@MasterofLaziness]

I think the last time Planula was good was when you could use it to exist in the void field infinitely. Now that even that option is gone, item is hot garbage as opposed to niche garbage.

[@TheLeviathan1293]

And when you think you can use hellfire tincture to heal from it but you have ignition tanks lol

[@seandun7083]

Really wish there was a chance you could get it earlier on. That much healing per attack would be so good stages 1-3 bit unless you are printing, recycling, or on command, no luck. By that time it's almost completely useless.

[@crazygamecrafter8830]

I would put Voidling in A tier, MAYBE EVEN GUP TIER, for the *SOLE* reason of Chris Christodoulou 's "The Face of The Deep"

Hey Woolie, found ur channel recently cause I started playing ror2 more frequently again. love your stuff, this vid included.

[@TheGeeman99]

Gup spawning on top of you late run or Eclipse is definitely spooky

[@user-be4ic1ls2t]

Would disagree with some. Elder Lemurian should be high D tier enemy, as they literally destroy you from any range. Their melee attack inflicts burn even without modifiers and just breaks your health bar in a second, ranged attack travels quite fast and does big damage to player. It’s just scary to fight them when there are like three or four of them, hello, artifact gamers. And on loops they appear pretty much everywhere, even on first location. Gups cannot be lower than Bisons, because they often limit movement. They work as moving hitting walls, and they are pretty fast. They can appear nearby when you least expect that, so for me, maybe, they are low B tier, just because they always take half of my health. Hermit crabs can never be more dangerous than Brass Contraption. Never. Charged Worm should be at least D tier, I would even rank them as F tier. Their item is not consistent enough to work and when it procs, it usually just misses. And their damage…Jeez, they can easily one hit kill you, ignoring the one shot protection. They are also faster than usual worms. If you are ranged - good luck. If you are melee - either don’t fight them, either try to use The thing that oneshots bosses and gets their item. Though can agree with Void Infestors, I can remember Russian streamer Tijoe died to Squid Polyp that got unluckily corrupted by one of these. So would be scary if like TC-280 or Equipment Drone got corrupted.

[@backwardsbandit8094]

Drones dont get corrupted anymore btw. I think squids and guards can but not drones that you can purchase

[@user-be4ic1ls2t]

@@backwardsbandit8094 that’s a relief. Because imagine corrupted TC-280.

Alpha Constructs shields make them untargetable via Huntress primary & secondary. You can't lock onto them. Her specials still work though, since they do not require a lock on.

[@TruePlantixx]

Poor Grandparent. Planula is surely worse compared to other boss items but the fight itself and the way Grandparent looks always makes me smile. The burn is very harsh, true but it makes your brain do a 180 and you have to look for cover as opposed to the usual hit and run.

[@someone4650]

Planula is really good what do you mean?? They convert all damage over time on you to heals and Lesser Wisp attacks heal you too

[@elegy8187]

Nah Planula is one of the better boss items, I would take planula over something like Queens Gland or genesis loop any day

[@Shumoku438]

I hate them. They slaughter all of your drones regardless of how many you have or what items you have. And if you DO get caught out in the open… just a few ticks and you’re gonna die. Ben’s raincoat is top 3 reds for me just because I don’t have to give a shit about them anymore and I can just stand there and kill them. They still massacre your drones though.

[@Shumoku438]

@@elegy8187 it’s better than the gland and knurl maybe but definitely not anything else. The flat healing becomes super negligible even after a couple stages when you have some % healing items. One wungus and it’s pointless. Most boss items are easily better. They’re probably even with the loop, but they fall way, way behind the perforators, shatterspleen, little disciple, etc. Even the summons are way better (apart from the guard).

[@MrDacomkd]

@@Shumoku438 Nah for me it's definitely better than the loop, the gland, the xi construct item. and the probes. It may not be close as good as the actual good items, but I'm taking them over the summons and the loop.

Aurelionite boss item has clutched some runs when mythrix had some pretty SPICY items

[@Mimikium778]

56:48 We overlooking the fact that if a void seed spawns on stage 5 with a corrupted XI, your run can just instantly die with no input from the player cause the Corrupted XI can laser beam you from halfway across sky meadow and stack 5 singularity procs on you so your run is dead in an instant? I see how it is.

[@robinmorgan4418]

For that to happen you have to: Be a melee survivor with no access to attack them Kill a void enemy but fail to kill the infestor* Be mid teleporter boss with a XI construct Die to it Yeah this can happen and it does suck but it's almost always the player's fault somehow

[@Mimikium778]

@@robinmorgan4418 Oh the XI can absolutely spawn corrupted, its happened several times to me, and it never feels good lol. even with range, some survivors cant kill it fast enough at range unless you have a good run, because it is still an elite with several times more HP than normal. I do agree that its not an impossible situation to deal with, especially if you have any sort of a good run going like voidsent flame and polylute especially, but it has lead to unfair deaths because of how oppressive it can be early on if you get unlucky.

[@robinmorgan4418]

@@Mimikium778 it cannot spawn corrupted and be a teleporter boss. It can spawn corrupted as a world boss in a void seed, but your timer probably has to be pretty high if so

[@TheLeviathan1293]

That won't happen if you play well. First there is a build up when the construct summons the four small ones, then the construct has a dozen of targets besides you, and then because of the build up you can just notice it and take cover before it fires.

[@polygondeath2361]

With Gup I’d agree… for the most part. But the one time I got a Gup only stage, my run was instantly ruined. Was on a huntress sacrifice + swarms god run and on 2nd loop abyssal depths I got a Gup only stage. I couldn’t blink fast enough with phase blink to get away even with (I believe) 5 energy drinks. I was killed seconds after spawning in

[@polygondeath2361]

And void jailer… had one snare me and pull me into a pack of dying void devastators, and to add insult to injury I could’ve escaped if I hadn’t swapped out a blast shower for a sawmerang at an earlier point in the same stage. Easy F from me

Ive died to a beetle... it was... i forget the name. The elite type with lots of health that shoots green sea urchins. Anyway i killed the elite beetle and proceeded to double quail jump past it, but right as it died it lobbed a green sea urchin in the air. I saw I was on a collision course with it and was thinking "doh, oh well" thinking it wouldnt kill me. I THOUGHT I was at full health, but nope, apparently not cuz I got 1shot by the stupid thing.

[@mailcs06]

I have to disagree with the Larva being F tier and the Blind Pest being B tier. Larvae aren’t difficult to dodge, and even if Blind Pests are easy to dodge normally, they spawn in massive groups and deal colossal amounts of damage for how many spawn. One or two stray shots from an elite blind pest has ended many of my runs. Also they really aren’t that squishy. They’re not as tanky as a beetle but they’re very annoying to hit with anything that will immediately kill them with their movement pattern.
