Beating Risk of Rain 2 With Only Razorwires...

[@artur3355]

i give a shot in this so challenge, so repulsion armor plate is really good, you dont need more than 5 razorwire it doesnt change the damage only the area, planula are a must, harvester scythe when max crit and if using false son its good to get only one berserk pauldron and some infusions because his growth ability gives armor that is really good.

[@sinistergates6630]

get as much planula as possible, and a hellfire tincture. The hellfire will damage you, triggering both the planula and the razorwire crossmaping enemies as they spawn. A few stacks of planula will easily out heal the damage dealt by the hellfire acting as a constant form of health regen.

[@rdvansloten]

One planula is enough if you get the repulsion plate. It reduces the hellfire ticks to nothing

I think you might be a genius... I may have to try this

[@pepperz1145]

I tried this again with both planua and tincture. It becomes a seriously high risk/high reward build. The tincture damages you and though at first is mostly nothing, stacking any damage item such as crowbars or laser scopes also increases the damage done to yourself by the tincture. Essentially, I had to have ~2x rejuvination racks as compared to my laser scopes (this was with 4 planula) - in order to maintain my health... ALSO - since it wasn't lethal, you could just play with the increased damage output to everyone, but essentially live on one HP for the entire run. Literally run over if you get hit by anything, but I was also killing nearly everything immediatley so who knows...

@@pepperz1145 did you try getting Repulsion Plates to push the damage down? Also Rose Buckler should cut the damage down drastically if you just keep sprinting and don’t shoot.

It is a classic

[@thiccum2668]

3:33 laser scope actually doesn't double your crit damage. instead it sorta doubles the crit's damage boost. So rather than laser scope doubling crit damage from 200% to 400%, it instead adds 100% damage onto the crit's 200%, making crits do 300% damage. So basically, when you crit, laser scope is more like a 50% damage multiplier. (Also, not a good look for laser scope considering behemoth is a 60% damage increase and doesnt require crit to activate)

[@pepperz1145]

Yes, so if I have 11x laser scopes, my crit damage is 1100% of my base damage, right? So still, if I have 10x lensmaker glasses for 100% crit chance, wouldn't it still be better to get a scope over a behemoth?

[@thiccum2668]

@ no it still would be better to have a behemoth mathematically. Only time you’d want a laser scope over a behemoth is if you already had a behemoth since its damage doesnt stack unlike scope. Not to mention that behemoth also gives you AOE and certain tech on top of being a direct upgrade to laser scope in terms of damage.
