How to get good: - Learn to mine and use your time efficiently. Lost time = Less experience and ore = Less upgrades. - Stop moving around doing absolutely nothing. This is wasting crucial time when you should be mining or getting levels. - Use your map to scour for ore. - Mine a LOT at the beginning when there aren't a lot of mobs around. Every single piece of Gold and Nitra you leave behind is a failure. This includes loot bugs. - Take more Movement Speed, Mining Speed and PICKUP RADIUS (which you almost never take!). It pays off quickly because you will leave less XP and ore behind and spend less time gathering them. - Always make sure you have a decent amount of Movement Speed, Mining Speed, Pickup Radius and Armor. Don't ignore these for lower tier grey damage perks! - Perks that increase XP gain have more value the earlier you take them. Always try to get some in the first couple of maps. After that they are less important. - Stop taking grey upgrades constantly when there are better options. Basically if you take two grey perks instead of two green ones, you have already lost a character level. - Level up your weapons to 12 to unlock their overclocks. Stop sticking only to the starter weapons. This is a main issue for your lack of progress, since you're not only lacking overclocks on good weapons, you're also picking and using those weapons at a HUGE disadvantage when they can't get overclocked. - Set one or two goals each run. Are you going to level a weapon to 12 this run to unlock overclocks? Then focus on that and forget the rest. Are you going to win the difficulty? Then don't take weapons that don't have overclocks unlocked, and mining meta progression ore will not be as important that run. - Don't prioritize perks that only increase weapon level unless your goal is to unlock overclocks or complete certain mission quests (such as reaching a specific weapon level). Increasing weapon level does nothing for you other than getting you closer to an overclock, and is generally not worth taking over a different upgrade of similar rarity. - Mission quests (such as collecting Bolo caps) is NOT as important as you think. The rewards aren't that great and should NEVER be a priority over mining. See it only as an extra bonus. - The increased healing on level up perk is great. Stop ignoring it. - Use weapons with Cold and/or Knockback. These are lifesavers, and you barely ever take them. Upgrade such weapon to 12 so you have access to their overclocks! - If you feel that a level is under control and the boss is below half health, don't necessarily kill it right away since this will trigger the 30 second escape pod timer. Instead, collect more ore and XP while you still can before you kill the boss. Just make sure you don't wait too long. - You can get more done in 30 seconds than you might think. Look at the map where the pod is and understand how much time you will need to get there. You'll be amazed at how much ore and XP you can collect during that time and still get out in time. Leaving with more than 5-10 seconds left should only be done when you're at risk of taking a lot of damage. - You often don't need to mine so much on the last level. This is the only time it becomes less important (because you won't get any more stores to spend the resources anyway). It can still be fine to mine for meta progression materials or getting gold for perk rerolls or gold/nitra to scale certain perks you might have picked, but it becomes a secondary objective instead of a primary one on the last level. - Destroying the large egg (to spawn the final boss) on the last level as quickly as possible is usually a good thing because less time spent on the level means the enemies won't have time to get so strong. Your strategy of holding off with spawning the last boss to try to gain another level or two is NOT a better option and it will never compensate for the increasing strength of the enemies. I could go on, but these are mistakes you are currently making off the top of my head. If you listen to this advice you will quickly do much better.

[@CmoIsDaNam3i]

At least for me it just felt like I was stuck fumbling around aimlessly with no real purpose. It wasn't for me unfortunately. The feeling reminds me of Genshin Impact in terms of lack of quest markers or waypoints. Which is fine. I'm not saying the game should have them. Because its doing just fine without them *clearly* but just like how even games like Elden Ring or Dark Souls is not for everyone Deep Rock Galactic wasn't for me. And for me its not so much because I don't enjoy hard games. I just hate getting lost not knowing where to go. And DRG along with a few other open world games did exactly that to me. Which sucks for DRG because I *WANTED* to like this game after seeing the review of it from Skill Up. It looked like a lot of fun! Even had a friend buy it for me too! But sadly just wasn't my thing. Really sucks because iit looks fun and the grappling hook guy was a lot of fun, but the game wasn't for me at least. :/

[@FifthNight]

When it comes to understanding priorities, mining is more important and here is why. When you start a run, killing yields exp. A small bug yields one XP orb. Every mineral deposit yields 3 orbs which means if you harvest a deposit, you can get 18 exp orbs while also getting the minerals for upgrades after the round. This means that the deposits overall have more value in them and it's more efficient than spending a ridiculous amount of time just to kill 18 tiny bugs. By just mining alone you will get more upgrades off the bat, you can dodge bugs and let them pile up, then get an AoE weapon to nuke them. This also allows exp to be consolidated to save time running around and prevent excess exp scattering.

[@denissviridov1756]

Asmon is SOOOOO focused on killing mobs. Bugs are super slow, you can outrun them even while mining walls. Instead of standing still for like several minutes??? and killings waves, he could've run around, mine a lot (because bugs are slow) AND THEN kill the wave (usually grouped with other one & by blowing them up by themselfs in like 10-20 secs). Also when the boss spawns - this is the best time to loot all the xp/finish missions. The gameplay of Asmongold - stand still and shoot bullets, maybe evade attacks (occasionally)

[@lirongolan4975]

he thinks it's a generic bullet hell vampire survivors clone. mining is the main obj here, not killing.

If you go status effect damage, things will die on their own. You circle the map for resources and picking up xp. Mine speed and run speed are vital for this, some pick up range helps a ton, roughly equivalent to a single legendary rank is all you really "need".

[@ImFirstBlood]

Well here is my take: Farm a few hours on hazard 1-2 to get meta upgrades (even though his meta upgrades arent looking bad) Try to level every class for weapon unlocks He has like 4 weapons in total that is unlocked for overclock, he could also level them to lvl12 so he can overclock them On gunner don't take fire overclock, when you are full kinetic If you have nitra dmg and crit buffs from drop, farm them and hold onto it, spend only for best upgrades (nitra dmg isnt very good cuz it messes your move speed, better to avoid) Also if you get nitra crit buff, then all in on it, get 75% crit and unlock the best drop buff in the entire game First 2 levels ignore bugs, just run and mine, you collect xp when looping the boss at the end and also mining gives a ton xp, so mining and collecting dropped xp later on is more beneficial. I could say so much more, but I feel like I'm just wasting my time right now 😂

[@ImFirstBlood]

Try clearing any games in the genre on your first try LOL. Every one of them has the same system, the more you play the stronger you are, you can clear hazard 1 in your first hour, just like how you can clear the first level in Vampire Survivors or Holocure in the first hour, its not rocket science@@li-co

[@Babawze]

should run lower hazards just to unlock the weapon overclocks, get the milestones unlocks for new weapons and artifacts, farming ranks to unlock subclasses and new weapons, and farming rare minerals for permanent upgrades, but i get that going for harder hazards might be more exciting content. It's just no wonder why progressing the hazards is hard. It's like going to Eastern Plaguelands at lv 10

[@gulch1969]

It doesn't matter, he'd still level up the main weapon to level 30 while ignoring the other ones then complain he's not doing enough damage lol.

[@Babawze]

@li-co It incentivise to focus on a particular weapon to discover its use and scale. Many people would easily overlook a weapon that they might have liked at further upgrades because they might not have been inspired to pursue them at lower levels. It's not new as an introduction mechanic, nor is it trash. Gaining ranks is the same logic. As it is for many other games requiring you to level, or use an ability in order to upgrade it. It doesn't force you to do filler runs, but doing it at lower levels is logically easier, more casual, more relaxed. It doesn't take long; and it is not as grindy as gaining ranks or rare minerals, and none of the three are required. It's just a slower progression with completinionist incentives. It feels grindy and a waste of time if you do not like the game at its core. TL; DR: it might just not be your taste.

[@cdiers26]

In the same way damage and reload speed and fire rate respectively make the other 2 better; the mining, move speed, luck, xp gains, and pickup range make each other better. You gotta go for early xp and luck, pick weapons that have synergies and then get your damage upgrades that cover all your weapons through that synergy ie projectile, fire, heavy, thrown etc. then use your mining to get tons of nitra and use the nitra to get weapon levels and hit your milestones. Also on level 5 you need to clear out anywhere you plan to run from the boss to before it spawns. the game has you cover the map killing the mini boss eggs for a reason.

​@@koktszfungBecause you won't unlock overclocks or be able to upgrade your stats, mining is mandatory in this game.

[@stillnotchill2560]

​@@koktszfungyou have it wrong. By killing the boss too early he's actually leaving a lot of the swarm kills on the table and not getting enough loot/XP. He should start each round aggressively farming gold/nitra and doing side objective, then do a lap or 2 around the entire map collecting the XP left behind, then you kill all the enemies in the waves, dragging each level out as long as possible to get as many level ups per stage. He finishes the stages too fast to get strong by the end.

[@itsmichaeldinh]

He needs to pick more xp and pick up bonuses at lower levels so he gets more benefit from it longer and then also get earlier drop pods on 1-2(sometimes 3) so he has more time to pick up xp by circling around. Ignore the boss on the earlier stages when its easier to farm more xp. Also fire im pretty sure is the weakest element, toxic increases your other weqpons dmg, electric increases crit chance and there is also over criting at +100%, ice straight ccs them while fire just has a small dot.

Mining is like leveling aince you shop at the end of levels and ores you bring home become permanent upgrades so in that sense it’s more important. Killing for exp levels is like a bonus for doing that and surviving.

[@MindWack]

Just FYI, when you buy the "Upgrade this weapon by 2(or 3)" upgrades they do not add ANY stats to the weapon, only levels. Those are only useful for getting new weapons up to the level 12 to unlock overclocks OR if you need the overclock more than you need extra stats. You basically wasted every time you upgraded with those Level Only ones.

[@nicholaspatton7195]

Please upvote, these would help Asmon like the game more! Nice video Asmon! A few quick tips I think will make the game more engaging for you without backseat gaming. Just pointing out some useful information that's already given. 1. The more enemies you kill, the quicker the bar at the top middle of your screen progresses. Sometimes it can be good to circle a big mob and farm experience, but other times you want to do more running and farming to avoid speeding up the level timeline. 2. You should really check the DPS in the stats menu following a run. The DPS stat is the best indicator, since DPS accounts for both damage as well as time spent using the weapon (obviously weapons picked up later in the run have less use time). The only variable not accounted for in DPS is upgrades, so keep that in mind. 3. I could be mistaken on this one, but I don't believe regular critical chance and critical damage have any impact on status effects. I have been offered electrical crit-chance specifically though, so this is what makes me assume they have separate critical calculators. 4. The only way it's worth stalling the Stage 5 is if you are trying to complete a level requirement (to unlock overclocks, or for a map mission). But stalling on earlier stages can be very worth, as once the boss is out the only penalty to stalling is periodic difficulty spikes.

[@thisguy35]

you want to mine as much as possible before killing the boss

[@AT2035_Microphone]

I think if Asmon did like 3 hazard 1 runs to overclock all his weapons he would be fine. Having a nade or gun not overclocked severely limits his damage output

Mining gets you double upgrades, you get experience from mining and can spend the resources too, plus you kill some bugs along the way

[@lukecreamer8426]

You want to stop turning and fighting the swarm on every character. Even on the gunner who does it best, you get NOTHING for it after the dive. XP = killing bugs = XP = gone after each dive. Kiting (esp. by mining) = *still* not dying to bugs = exploring new parts of the map = MINERALS = permanent upgrades This is the big thing you said you felt like you were missing in an earlier video. This is the playstyle you started to get with the driller last time, but didn't fully appreciate.

[@lukecreamer8426]

at 6:30 you start kiting out the swarm correctly - and using the yellow bugs to detonate them fairly well sans the damage you took - and the stragglers you ran into after you juked the swarm totally evaporated in front of you. That's what's great about the gunner - you can't slay the whole swarm with the gun, but you can always find a weak part of the formation and blast yourself a path. Choose the path into the fog, get more minerals, not XP.

[@lukecreamer8426]

at 12:30 you really botch it taking ~120 yellow bug damage in 2 seconds, but they do ALL THE WORK killing the swarm for you anyways. Prioritize move speed if you can't dodge those, and keep using them as much as you can to kill the others. Get mine speed to kite through rock faster, and MINE FASTER. This is the way. The gun is just for pretty lights and sounds, and that is fine.

you dont have to push the direction of the wall while you mine. that way you can drop turrets and it counts as standing still. As soon as you start to mine, let go of the directions. once you broke that part of the wall stop. usually takes a couple seconds to break a piece

You need to pick the driller with the stacking drilling bonus and the backwards gun.

xp gain is important and I can explain how. 10% xp gain means if you gain 10 levels, you gain 1 more level, if you have 20% xp gain, you gain 2 more levels when you gain 10 next levels, that makes you have 4 more skills which means if you pick damage all those 4 times, that xp gain of 20% turns into 10% damage times 4. 40% more damage.

You should do little farming on Haz1 for unlocking overclocks on new weapons, then go harder Hazards

gunner is so broken if you can get to the heavy autocannon, or mainly the third gunner class that starts with it

[@twoeyes]

This game has nothing to do with killing bugs there aren't 2 activities you just MINE and thats it, especially early on you need to mine the bugs are just in the way. You need at least 38-40 nitra at the end of round 1 so you can afford red upgrades- always get LUCK when its available and always choose weapons that use the same stats. There are no resistances in the game so you can have all fire weapons and if you get +10% fire damage and have 4 fire weapons this is equivalent to +40% fire, you hover over the upgrades and an icon pops above the weapons it affects (except the upgrades like +dmg which affect all weapons, and show no icons). When comparing 2 upgrades, multiply the upgrade by the # of weapons affected to get an apples to apples comparison. CRIT chance and CRIT damage are excellent especially early on before you know what weapons you'll have bc they affect everything. By the end I often I have 60-80% crit chance and 200+% crit damage. Those are just a few tips but I have a lot more, it seems simple but maybe I should make a guide if people really struggle that much lol. Oh also unlock the weapon overclocks on stages you've already cleared. They're meant to be played more than once, so if you aren't replaying stages you've beat then you are going to just beat your head against the wall. Its easier to run around and mine on earlier stages rather than being undergeared and pressured on later stages without time to mine the mats you need for the character upgrades.

[@virgyvirgil]

gotta use the mining not 9nly for resources butto make paths so you can bait em in straight lines. most of bugs other than the digging ones or flying ones cant go past walls. on the grass map some of those walls are unbreakable and you can bait them on the other side like the big jumping boss

[@skeda4680]

I play this game since i saw it on asmon, there's a lot of things asmon is doing wrong. The 1st goal of the game find nitra since it upgrades your weapon, 2nd is finish your quest, 3rd is find gold to upgrade secondary effects. Other gems are for the upgrade of your overall damage on the menu. You need to kite as much as possible to finish the map and get as much as nitra and gold. Do not kill the level boss with the drop pod. When it is already the level boss just run, do as little damage as you can and find nitra or gold. And of course get those exp as much as you can.

[@chrishawly]

A lot of your weapons are locked so you don't have access to their overclock

[@Dyzz21]

the level of brain damage to keep picking reload is beyond my comprehension

[@Brakus14]

This is like Mine Craft + Star Craft

[@jjakariasman2545]

at 14:00 when you died the healing rocks hadnt hit you yet but you mined them, was probs best to mine one or two and run away and let pickup radius do the work

[@AaronBeSpeedy]

Picks reload speed for every weapon 90% of the time and then complains about lacking damage 😂😂 picks augment where Nitro increases damage then spends 60 nitro on reload speed and complains about damage loss 😂😂

[@Romanitto]

@Asmongold TV Here is a Tip. Hopefully he will see a comment😅 1) Don't worry about killing enemies on early stages. Mining rocks will give you more XP. 2)IMPORTANT! When you mine rocks try walk efficiently, without rotations around same rocks or same place. If there is a lot enemies use rotation if there is no other options in order to avoid dmg. 3) Prioritize mining 1Nitro(red crystals in stones) for weapon upgrades, 2Secondary objective(gives gold) stats upgrades, 3Gold rocks, 4rest of rocks(green, white, brown, ect) for upgrades in main menu( also to make it easier, before trying to beat 3rd difficulty upgrade passives to lvl 5 at least) 4) As you progress to next stages mobs will get stronger and depending on current objective you will need switch priorities(example killing a stage boss faster as mobs will get stronger overtime) 5)Armor is helpful, but don't rely on it, try to avoid damage and risk less, pick speed buff over armor, it will give you more protection and time to farm rocks longer. Rest stuff like "weapon builds" you can figure out on your own, game is definitely hard and makes you pay for many small mistakes in end, DON'T GIVE UP!

Am I the only one who cant watch Asmon play this game but still watches anyway? This dude refuses to learn anything

It's a side effect of aspergers

Light weapon where it is... 13k DSP on BRT7 Burst fire gun(Max lvl).

[@stillnotchill2560]

He just needs to watch someone complete a hazard 4 or 5 to see how its done properly.. start by farming gold/nitra and seconday obj aggressively, ignore killing, then when the wave is large kill them off the the bomb dudes and collect some xp, and basically just do laps killing the entire waves and collect xp, but you have to get the farming done before wave farming. He focuses on the small enemies too early instead of mining and then kills boss too fast and doesnt kill the wave for xp.

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

Some tips: READ YOUR UPGRADES! Many times you picked a 10% DMG over upgrading a weapon 2 levels, because you didn't read to see it was TWO levels, not one - no no no no!! Many of your weapons are new so you're not unlocking the overclocks because you haven't got them to level 12 - play some easier levels to just mine upgrade materials and pick new weapons to hit 12 so you can overclock them! Then go for the harder levels. Protip - use the mobs to mine for you when you can - the big ones are always breaking walls, put ore and sugar between you and them, and let them do the dirty work when you can't! Luck does NOT give you a better chance for a magnet - but it's a great pick because you get awesome buffs - better chance for legendary upgrades to show! Finally - Don't pick any crit dmg buffs unless you have the crit chance - you can't do that dmg if you don't hit the crit. If you do want a crit build, it's pretty sweet. Especially when the ticks from your dots like acid and fire can crit. Worth mentioning - Grenades kind of suck - can't control where they go, they are very unreliable damage. Warthog shotgun is awesome.

You should always be mining, never focusing on killing. You get more experience and more upgrades from Mining and that is how you win.

[@96Logan]

He is playing the game as if it was Vampire Survivors when he should be playing like it's Pac-Man. Resupply Pod > Secondary Obj > Gold/Nitra > Progression Ores > Killing Bugs Focus on eco first each floor. Vacuum up any resource you can as fast as you can like Pac-Man. Mine speed and move speed are actually useful. Train the bugs around. The more mobs you kill, the faster you call in the elite. Stop focusing on killing mobs. Once the elite dies, you have 30 seconds to gtfo and you don't have any time. If you miss the Resupply or Secondary Obj like mushrooms, flowers, or morekite, you will get behind. It's all a delicate balance. Don't speed run the floors if you don't have to. Don't rush straight to Drop Pod, take a detour and train the mobs so you can pick up exp on the way. If you can time hitting the base of the ramp around 5 seconds left, you will get in every time. Don't just stand by the drop pod and wait from 15 seconds to 10 seconds and then run in.

[@Goodubi1]

Try picking the highest rarity perks all the time and see how u do, be picking up greens over blue or purple

[@Vizzu]

game is worth the money for sure but some challenges can drive you crazy especially in haz 5

I just ended up with 499 gold, and I needed 500. I was so mad, lol.

A lump of red sugar a day, keep the physician away

[@rudegameplays2458]

@asmongold I'll give you one BIG tip :D Use Mine strats to create bottlenecks, focus on mining ore and exploring, if they explode just go back a little, grab the XP you can and pursue to mine around 100g and 40n on each scenario, on last stage wander for eggs and only mine Gold (for reset the few lvl ups you'll have for better options) and essentials to upgrades out of game passives) and clear the zone of rocks around the boss, so you can easily dodge his charge....always you see a Mining% up, no matter what, take it! I've unlocked almost most hazards, this game is not about getting stationary and DEFEAT the wave, is about SURVIVE while there is...tons of waves chasing you and you being clever with how you mine through rocks ;) oh and one more, the upgrades that affect your weapons such as crit damage increased, look your weapons, and they will have arrrows, those who have arrows are affected, those who don't have arrows, are not affected by that choice, you're getting crit damage for turrets.....they do not work with crit xD

[@AndersHaalandverby]

You need more meta progression before Haz3. Basicallt Play _lots_ of haz1 before 2, and lots of 2 before 3. The worst part of this game for me is the overclock unlocking system. every single weapon has to be upgraded in a run to lvl 12, only then do you get overclocks in future runs at weapon lvl 6,12 and 18. If you start playing haz3 for instance, and you get guns that are not overclock-unlocked, you are screwed (at least without most other meta upgrades) The other grindy part is the meta-upgrades. You really need them for the higher haz-levels. And the only way to get them is to do ALOT of runs on Haz1/2 to get the "special minerals"

[@iamdickel8574]

if you can or will read this comment First of all you need to move a lot, destroying blockage if stuck and dont think about the xp drops, mining also gives you xp, before the last elite on every map appears then you collect the XPs you left behind by circling the swarm out if the magnet didn't appear, if magnet is present, get it when the last elite on map shows to gain all the xp you need before killing the final elite on the map if you use driller mine every thing and don't think about killing mobs, Upgrade option is your best friend in the long run dont be afraid of taking damage in early game just run and mine, this game is not made for killing every bugs, its made for mining everything you see you also need a lot of retries on this game to unlock every weapon and weapon upgrades.

Does he undersrand lvling weapons to certain lvls is more imp than just getting static upgrades? I feel like he doesnt understand that mechanic
