Breaking SPELLSTROM Beyond Its Limits Is As Broken As You Would Think in Vampire Survivors DLC

[@DexTag]

The first limit break weapon of the new DLC is here and I hope you enjoy it! KZbin decided to process the video for a couple of hours, so it's a bit delayed.

[@rachelcheng9510]

Can’t wait in till you limit break more new dlc weapons to see how strong the new limit break weapons are.

[@aquainebay3848]

I did like the high dmg numbers and 20:00 was hilarious! I have to be fair here though, while the weapon is strong the challenge was to see which weapons can beat inverse mode (at least, originally). You yourself said that with enough freezes pretty much any weapon could do it once you get far enough so while you did survive the 30mins technically, the weapon can't beat inverse mode because you would've died at the 25 minute wave.

[@notacat.1]

Try spellstream for gold farm? It doesn't lag at all

[@GnesThenic]

If it's not clear what SpellStrike does, it's kind of like Victory Sword. Actually, it's almost broken on its own. I'd be interested to see what it could do on its own with Trouser or something.

[@LunaticEdit]

Wait until you do the worm with gold arcana. It's about 30 seconds until the game devolves into 1fps and millions of gold. You also get hundreds of level ups. I think I was level 400-500 by 2 1/2 minutes.

[@masternetboss2984]

I got like 2k level and like over 5 million gold after using one weapon only on worm.

[@MrEddie4679]

You speak of sammy, And sammy dont care. Sammy do.

[@radio-5]

I threw Sammy 1000 eggs and did a run in Bone Zone. Made about 145,000,000 in 45 minutes. Most I ever did with trouser was around 10mil

[@TheRagnus]

You can remove most of the lag by turning off limit break or picking up additional weapons. Everytime Vicious Hunger ranks up, it spawns a new instance of the eyes, so Sammy getting like 100 levels per second means it's spawning eyes faster than the game can handle. Kinda surprised Vicious Hunger doesn't have a spawn limit...

[@amateurishauthor2202]

not even Gamekiller stops the XP gain

[@Moleculor]

The black spheres remind me of recent news stories of how they detected the gravitational waves of two colliding black holes. Combine that with the weapon mentioning how it becomes more powerful after each Singularity (a black hole can be also described as a singularity), and I suspect each time the two balls collide is a Singularity in a reference to those colliding black holes.

[@radio-5]

So entertaining! Rarely do I laugh out loud on KZbin videos. I did several times on this one. Keep up the good work!

[@macroglossumstellatarum5932]

Hats off to you, I tried this limit break for ages and couldn't do it.

[@legolava3265]

Cant wait for Dex to find the literal gold egg farm lol

[@catman6089]

especially with the evolution of this weapon, you do more damage when you're closer to an enemy, so you will demolish any boss or guardian just by letting them walk up to you. the lightning strike looking weapon attacks the nearest enemy, and with the Santa Water type weapon clears everything else, so the boss/guardian gets hit dozens of times a second with thousands of damage

[@CobaltSpace]

You might get better bitrate results if you use CRF or CQP instead of VBR. Lower CRF/CQP = higher quality.

[@Valkrss]

KZbin compression is stupid, you could have a well tuned encoder to where the video looks good at 1080p sat 3-5mbps. But KZbin will still run their own compression ontop of that, and you'll be lucky if it even spits out a 720p video.

[@plabcentral630]

Man when you get to that one character (not even gonna attempt to spell it) it’s the most free win of all time

[@robertandersson3417]

I gave a like and subscribe because of the event at 20 minutes, that shit was hilarious :D

[@Mallor998]

What a nice slideshow :D

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

I think that are two rotating black holes that rotate in opposite directions. They come closer until they merge and then bang! Somewhere in the weapon description i think a singularity is mentioned, so that would make sense?

[@bouboulroz]

Yep, the 2 orbs colliding is the singularity. Each time it happens it deals damage to enemies and increases the base damage of the next singularity.

[@Arcticanine]

I've just realised something. The bg music which came with this character sounds quite "Superhero"-ish. The icon on the weapon is a big "S"... Idk if I'm just late to this but damn.

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

Spellstrom, to me is probably one of the most powerful weapons in this whole game.

[@Zuneg]

21:40 - Methmethics!

[@acetraker1988]

Seriously, you don't need to pick tomb at the start. Awake saves these one weapon builds at the early game part. The bias / tunnel vision is really strong. However I guess it makes sense if you don't want awake stats effecting the total numbers at the end.

[@tristen9736]

Worse in the long run. If you struggle early on with something that scales better, you'll get stronger by the end, which is the goal of these videos. Awake will either give worse buffs than silent old sanctuary, or be absolutely useless if you don't die, leaving you down 1 arcana.

[@WingBeatZ]

"I was mething..."

[@jedlayton3169]

Spellstring projectiles don't increase by amount. Only by weapon level ups

[@menlover555]

i swear every new update makes the game 10 times more broken than before

[@DexTag]

Hmm, I think the base game is already very broken because the game is not a hard game to beat, it's rather easy. So you can do whatever you want. But the first DLC gave really overpowered options where a ton of things were beyond any other powerlevel. In my experience so far, there are rather unique scenarios where something can be broken, but nothing outstanding, especially if you compare it with some of the strongest limit break weapons in the game, which have been Santa Water and Heaven Sword so far

[@aquainebay3848]

I agree with Dex, the game isn't that hard to beat so really most weapons can get crazy like that the only problem is knockback holds some weapons back from performing as well. Out of all the weapons I've used doing a limit break challenge Syuuto with Echo Night from the first DLC has to be the most broken in the game. The weapon doesn't generate as much damage as Heaven Sword or Victory sword but, it makes up by the fact that it eventually fills the screen easily w/o Boogaloo and it strikes multiple times really fast and all you really need is wicked season and duplicator. It is insanely versatile and pretty much any character can use it. It's so broken that the weapon itself breaks by just playing the game normally.

[@peacemaker9807]

I've been wondering how you know the various math and how it all works. But good videos

[@Luzakid]

Great video as always. Have you tried limit break gains again? I did it for fun lately on mobile and killed over 1 million enemies. Please give it a try.

[@TheAngelChaz]

Still need an arcana that prevents knock back or something

[@1harv100]

Wait until you see what you can do with the Caterpillar.😂

[@Thanatos-Mar]

The character you unlock from killing 6000 Sammie is broken, I was able to get to level 120ish in 3 minutes. I think that would make a good limit break video.

[@cupandbowl]

I bought this game back when it was 2$ in early development. Thought about playing again do I need to buy these dlc or are they free

[@DexTag]

Nowadays the game costs 5 I think and I think the DLCs cost 2-3. It's 100% worth it in my books, at least compared to other games I bought

Hey Dex old fan there, can you pls use a de esser on your S frequency for the next video? (or a sort of compressor or multiband comp, I don't know what are you using right now ahaha) it's like super strident for me and maybe for someone else... (I'm a pro musician so I notice immediately buuut i'm happy to help with your work so others can appreciate better!)

[@McGaduk]

Pro here too. I'm using some bad speakers for my everyday uses, works every time.

[@DexTag]

I have a de-esser, but I bumped it up a bit (from -38dB to -25dB), let's see if that helps. The real problem is that depending on what is used - and e.g. device and headphones make a ginormous difference - it sounds completely different, which is my main problem. I have no good way to test that, so feel free to point that out if it has gotten better or worse in the future :)

What it you only use spellstring and wait until you get the final weapon and grab the others

[@N_0wn]

U might need attack speed honestly. Never thought this weapon would be so hard to do it. I thought it would be literally stand in place and win.

[@DexTag]

At 16:42 the game is paused and you can see I have -85% Cooldown, that's the lowest a normal character can go, combining the 5% from power ups, 40% from Empty Tome and 40% from Silent Old Sanctuary if you only have 1 weapon equipped (technically 48% exists, but that means 0 weapons). That means there is nothing else that can be done in this case. There are ways to get it to the maximum, which is -90%, and it makes a huge difference since you technically go from 15% to 10%, in other words you reduce the cooldown of weaposn by 33%, but not possible here
