[@shove-a-pipedown-my-throat1047]

takes handcuffs then later takes alien baby which is literally 80 wasted coins for +5% enemy speed

[@jimmyjarhead21]

I was just thinking this " oh look +15 health but enemies are faster. yeah that's worth it." forgets he has handcuffs and his hp is still 59 the next round haha

[@bruh7193]

[@peterricka32]

[@ozen2164]

He realized after though

[@stevem4783]

Sifd: I don't need HP, I'm not taking HP, I don't do enough damage Sifd, about 9 seconds later: takes HP twice and lowers his damage

[@stevem4783]

I also think it's amusing that only in the past two days has he realized that damage is superior to survivability because if you clear the screen in seconds nothing can hit you. Survivability only matters when you can't kill things and are getting hit a ton because of it. Hey man, if you didn't notice, water gets you wet.

[@ilikemitchhedberg]

@@stevem4783 fair enough. I think it is all about finding a sweet spot where one has enough survivability to feel comfortable and then dumping as much as possible in damage. Thing is, investing in damage is also an investment in survivablity; if you remove the enemy, you may as well be invincible.

[@Zacian2.0]

Sifd, Pin Steve M's comment XD

[@stevem4783]

@@ilikemitchhedberg there are characters that are based around survivability and that's fine...if you choose them. I personally just think it's boring. The entire point of the game in general is to delete as many enemies as quickly as possible, which nets you more XP or level ups and cash for the shop which gets you better items to continue as the difficulty scales up. I get taking a little HP or armor so you don't get one-shot on a fluke, but it blows my mind when I see guys take DPS characters then start stacking HP, armor, & Dodge (worst stat in the game btw,) while tanking their attack speed and range. If the screen starts filling with enemies, you can't clear them, you're getting overwhelmed and hit a lot...you don't need more HP, armor, or regen. You need damage. It's also why you don't want a huge variety of weapons. If you have six melee weapons and take a flat +1 up, that's value across the board. If you have two melee weapons, a turret, a wand, and two guns...you need +1 to melee, ranged, elemental, and engineering to equal the value of the earlier scenario. That's how you end up getting overwhelmed.

[@deyrek]

@@stevem4783 Pacifist is practically the only one that ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES survivability. You can really go ham with other characters if the RNG gods side with you. Yeah, there's practically no downside to damage and going for a total glass cannon build is always viable.

[@jbisthedj]

I think rerolling the shop while you have an item locked is pretty troll especially when the rerolls cost way too much. You're paying the same amount of money for a lower chance to find things that you want.

[@1TieDye1]

Agreed, especially if you are going to call the ramping of rerolls dumb

[@oranghebat4975]

I do that only if i have bunny

[@steveappleton4183]

He bitched about the economy in the game so much and plays on the lowest difficulty, he has so much money it's not even funny. We get it you want all the things.

[@travisthompson1679]

I wouldn't worry about "fixing" characters bad stats but instead just play to their strengths. For instance Lucky benefits more from luck and percent damage. You only need to be able to "manually" kill a few opponents to get the passive chain going so slow attack speed with a lot of damage serves that purpose just fine. Just make sure not to pick up XP until enemies are there to take damage from the passive. I think a general reroll based character that can build anything is a good idea, like you were saying. You would be able to do anything you want with that. Banishes could also be a good addition.

[@jacobballenger5181]

Character idea. The shopper. You start with the coupon item and each purchase rerolls shop for free, but you can't lock items.

[@Sean-vf7bd]

So good, I love things like this. No stat backdrops, just quirky playstyle.

[@TheVertianKing]

buying max hp when you have handcuffs, lmao

[@yung-pinglee5938]

Also spending so much money on unnecessary items when having piggy bank. So bad, LOL

[@michaelwebster-clark9865]

I think the -exp is to compensate/mitigate the "free" levels luck gives you via better quality level up stat increases and focus on the shop benefits

[@kiwichoppa147]

Not to mention you get items from the trees and enemies much more often which also have boosted rarity

[@1TieDye1]

Luck is super strong. If you take 5 luck in the first round it can really snow ball for you. It will 100% pays for itself because one rare upgrade is worth 2 commons so instead of taking melee twice, you can end up in a situation of taking 5 luck and then 2 luck. And if you can instead start turning the 5 luck into crates with luck items or level 2+ luck upgrades it can get really crazy

[@JosiahBradley]

Congrats on experiencing the, "I should just play my ability" arc. Let those stones fly! I want to play Lucky with your relic now and find a baby elephant to go infinite.

[@simplydoor9361]

16:25 "We have more live, opponents move faster" YOU HAVE HANDCUFFS

[@Robinator1103]

There is nothing that Sifd hates more than the ghost unlock.

[@Peinfull87]

I'm curious at 16:23 you take the alien baby, was it just for the enemies speed? Because you were just talking about the handcuffs so your max life was already capped at 50 something.

[@tomthecasual5337]

18:09 there is your answer :) sometimes the big green number is just too seductive and you click "take" before thinking.

New Title for this video "My Thoughts on Re-roll over some gameplay"

[@totallyathome]

I think the way Rip and Tear works with loud is that there are more enemies so the chance to proc goes up, explosion because more enemies is good for AOE playstyle

[@animedude6523]

Hi

[@SheinelI]

"39 is enough max life." 2sec later : "Let's go ax xp, let's go max hp" About the reroll costing more and more, imo if it wasn't the case, it wouldn't feel like a roguelike cauz every build would be the same and you could get almost garanteed result

[@enraqusbail6314]

Typical Sifd moment :) nah man, the chance of finding the stuff is not that high with cheaper rerolls, since there are quite a bit of items in this game and once you buy two, three things, you're pretty much broke again, and also the inflation of the items in the shop contribute to that too

[@jshockey34]

An interesting mechanic for the re-roll would be if you do not re-roll in a round the next round you get a lower re-roll cost, like a kick back for not re-rolling, it could scale by however many rounds you skip. Great content as always!

[@mataasen2534]

Hey sifd perfect timing again exactly when i open youtube your video pops up 👊

[@gcherfzthequietone]

id say splitting the buff may even enable the dev to push back the inflation and less money debuffs from the difficulties and personally id like to see a shop bias towards the weapon type/category you choose at the beginning like you start with an smg or pistol and you would be more likely to find guns. if such a thing is already there thats ok cause i cant tell my knowledge is based on like the last 10 Sifd videos of this game

[@Sean-vf7bd]

I think its kinda hard for indie devs to develop an algorithm for an actual build relevant rolls and all we see is our rng being very good, unless its already in github or some programming forums and the devs implemented it already.

[@captainzork6109]

I agree with the other people. Since rerolls are expensive, locking down stuff AND rerolling (multiple times) seems like a bad idea. But idk what the cutoff point is for spending money vs value gained from doing full rerolls vs locked rerolls. And for sure it's a waste to do rerolls just so you can find an item you can't buy anyway and have to lock for the next round Also, I think you should go for weapons asap, and not auxiliary stats. For example, if you have 6 slingshots you have 6 times more damage than when you have one slingshot. More damage means more money, which means more everything. This is especially true if you went for life and armor early. Like, maybe you can get away with it on lower difficulty, but I think one should try scaling max life and armor accordingly Just some gameplay related stuff to perhaps think about. Anyway, awesome run. I love this brotato series

[@wadenbeisser2491]

Loud with rip and tear drop is a doom reference :)

[@beansmacgowan1841]

I'd love to see what Sifd's ideal version of this game would be: pick your character (and freely edit starting stats); pick your weapon (as many as you want, at whatever level you want, with whatever stats you want); pick all the items you want to start with (as many as you want, with whatever stats you want); edit your stat card freely; and then immediately after starting the victory screen pops up where you can edit your final stats freely.

[@liesareparadox1892]

Just adding a comment to “help” the algorithm. Keep it up 👍

[@Fubarpenguin]

Sifd as to explorer the item makes sense an EXPLORER gets a COMPASS perfectly sensible now the buff the compass gets could be better aligned with character sure any who love the vids can’t wait for next run

[@gdm8962]

About the Ghost character item unlock, i think the life steal its supposed to synergize with the flint that keeps giving you atk speed and the % dmg with the flat dmg on spectral weapons, since its a blue item i believe it should help you start stacking better letting your do some early/mid one shots and a little bit of survival if you get lucky enough to not be one shotted lmao. I think it kinda fits because Ghost is as strong as you can stack. Downside is - engineering, i believe no one would go for drones playing as Ghost lmao. About the Explorer item, i believe its supposed to lead you on a at least hybrid drone build, they would spread through the map, one shoting the trees(i think they get the passive too, might be wrong), and you use the speed to run and get the materials. Again, blue item, just something to help you at the early/mid game. Downside is losing crit which you probably wouldnt go since if you wanted to kill monsters you would probably fix your %dmg first. At the end of the day, those two are not a huge boost that works by itself, but a nice addition that can work as a guide on what stats to look for and a minor boost to help at the beggining. As for the Loud, he get more enemies, so the aoe of explosion should balance it, losing harvest which he already do so whatever. I would assume this is to lead you to an explosive build. The majority of unlocks are like "this is the intended build for this character" but of course you can play different every time.

[@moti6519]

I just had a Run with 6 legendary sling Shots and 3 Baby with Beard. So much fun, but was not enough for the Boss.

[@Baelfyr]

The best defence is a strong offence. If you kill everything before it gets to you, then what does defence even do? Glass cannon ftw!

[@Warrigt]

"Welcome to reroll rant Day 2!"

[@jongreenepwns]

All of your suggestions about what to change in higher difficulty just make it easier. At some point the highest difficulty should actually be difficult, right?

[@cqstle-]

My thumbs are so damn sore from trying to beat Danger 3 with this build (I can't wait for a console release). Then I'll have no excuses. Seriously though, this is one tough character.

[@talonleuco]

Good stuff as always Sifd. I love your content.

[@auretioustaak6579]

@Sifd, Your ingame Relic uttertly breaks this character. Just did a slingshot into triple rocket launchers 2 med gun run and scored your relic early and I officially had the least armour and dodge and health I've had in any run so far (only 4 characters left to finish on).

[@phatphap_taitam]

Thank you this story is amazing 💜🥰

[@spectyr8642]

I did a run like this a few days ago ... its funny the extra luck made it hard to get more of the luck items... but i did get your item. it was nice but things died so fast that it made weird pauses with no coins for new enemies. so it made the damage go from constant and steady to on off on off and had to use my weapons more.

[@abooodx7969]

I did a run today with the lucky character too but i used shotguns It was chaos and everything died in one shot (expect the boss)

[@Barsikspit]

Sifd! You can make enemies stronger in settings and play on 1 level difficulty if u hate inflation and want more challenging game

[@BlackjackMain]

I think there should be a rank above legendary tier if you get 6 legendarys of the same weapon

[@axemeagain2554]

not bored of it and have seen it quite a few times lol .... Also i agree

[@SkibidiMemeRizz]

I think Lucky loses XP gain because it doesn't need skill and you get XP from skill

[@W0odie]

Yeah i guess he gets less xp because you get more items from trees to balance it.

[@BlackjackMain]

Yo, don't think I've seen a crazy elemental damage build in a while, wonder what that'd be like for this newer version

[@stevem4783]

Flamethrowers are crazy strong.

[@Some_0n3]

A good alternative option for difficult increase is add a mechanic of elite enemy's, and one wave randomizer.

[@KingBjorn96]

6 red slingshots ver nice

[@metoskopotorosko5652]

I just want to make empty comments when I can't find something to say but I enjoy your videos Sifd keep going and please elemental run :)

[@oliverimbrich-hulsmann9127]

Played for the first time today just got the sifd relic

[@APH3343]

Sift, you use ghost and ritual as an example of an item that does not match the class. but ethereal weapons get supper fast and hit lots of thing and hp regen on ghost is to slow meaning you have to rely on life steal and as a ghost you would never go engineering how does this not fit? I do think the compas is a little goofy unless they think you should go mine build for explore, I used chopper for my level 5 run and had so much stuff it was crazy so I agree with that one. Try lucky with 6 stick on level 5 and try for 400+ luck, get elephant, and the power ball luck item you might have fun!

[@enesbask26]

Great video

[@MichaelHarto]

Sifd, did you get dex's invitation to play bounty of one multiplayer?

[@GavlockX]

Was this recorded before the latest patch? I thought a change was made where you don't pick up consumables unless you are damaged.

[@travisthompson1679]

The initial reroll cost seems to be fixed at around 30% the cost of grey items. So it costs you an item to reroll 3 times. I would prefer it a bit cheaper myself so you have more control over the build.

[@Fliptaz92]

That's not how the game is supposed to work. The idea is to give you items and weapons and you build a character around these while you play

[@ScumsaveChris]

Wave 12 you got tons of crates trees are worth it with Luck. Any machine sucks if no engineering.

[@augumon05]

piggy bank since it was free, paid it's recycle amount in exactly 2 waves after you got it, first wave with it, you left shop with 30 coins, which it made 6 more to go with, next wave you left shop with 75 coins and it made 15 for that wave, which equals it's recycle money back.

[@ScumsaveChris]

The alien pick up range needs a buff 50 or more each the 30% seems great but on screen it’s not much.

[@Sean-vf7bd]

It's kinda ironic how Lucky character gets less luck related items because most of it are in Common items.

[@Fine_i_set_the_handle]

16:21 whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@chad3888]

Just woke up to a new upload 😃

[@lucasbortoluzzi9369]

if you're going to take a char with less attack speed and that benefit from dmg with a passive you should go burn build so that you don't really need to fix your attack speed as you one shot. then the luck effects will do more cause you invest more in dmg.

[@timblinn2534]

An item that increases the stages time would be pretty cool.

[@big_brain3989]

ive been waiting for this build

[@ohweenug1341]

Shouldnt having negative health regen be punished? Wouldnt be fun but itd be something to work around and probably funny to have, if that makes sense lol

[@ohweenug1341]

Like x% amount decreased instead of increased when negative

[@esaschenbrecker]

Does damage affect slingshot or does it only use ranged damage?

[@Sean-vf7bd]

%damage affects any weapon.

[@NatePrawdzik]

I recommend you slow down a bit with your conversation on random points and focus on your strategy more. I say this because you made multiple mistakes in which you forgot earlier choices, and you are usually better than this. You rolled past an option while you were talking and didn't even see it, said you were looking for it and rolled again, then took the exact same option in the third shop. You got the piggy bank and wasted money unnecessarily without really thinking about how compounding value works. You got handcuffs and then took an item with a downside that grants max hp, which handcuffs prevents. I watch your channel because you're generally a better player than others, so I hope you accept my feedback with the spirit it is intended.

[@rjbandit7712]

Dude loves complaining in a game where an egg kills aliens and it's called brotato...kinda needs special help I guess.the game is so easy even of hardest difficulty with some characters and the harder chars are not made for the kind of noob he is anyways. It's awesome to watch his runs with some music on the background instead of his constant beckering. He need to slow down and chill and enjoy the game. Or at least make new points he just complains over the same sht daily...

[@Grabarz23]

so many missed items in this run like 12:29 when game gave you +15% attack speed and you rerolled twice to get +15 % attack speed🙃

[@cogarg80]

I'm still waiting for youtubers to realize how busted power generator+speed is...especially in runs where all they have to do is run around and collect stuff.

[@ScumsaveChris]

They need a character with free rerolls

I got 2 or 3 piggys in one run. I thinks its more of a lower chance after you get your first piggy.

[@zocker2586]

why this sht so hard im on my 6th run with this build what am i doing wrong

[@chrisdg6271]

best run I had was just a simple luck dump and let item gathering do the rest, won the run after I got your item and after like one kill it was just autodeath.

Genius took an item that made the enemies faster and got nothing for it. I guess he forgot really quick that his HP was capped.

[@Svol09]

He did apologize for taking it and it was free so no harm done, y'all just need to chill. He does complain slot about stuff making the game harder which is borderline idiotic and I don't get it. Do you want your game to be easy? Why?

[@animedude6523]

Hi

[@albusanguis]

really dont think your habit of valueing max hp is a bad thing to keep runs going. specially in difficulty 3 and up very easy to get 2 tapped if you get unlucky with rerolls and dont get your dmg going early. just because you know, how tanky you should be to have a easy time, doesnt mean you should make your life harder by going all out glass cannon and die to chargers wave 11. guess depends on what char are you playing but valueing tankyness isnt a bad thing. also hp scales very well with regen, if you char doesnt have a -100% regen or something you should abuse it. most people ive seen on youtube think around 30 hp and 5 armor is enough to beat averige run. they usually get 2 tapped at wave 13ish.
