Combat Initiation | TEST.EXE Completion Guide (Hardest Level)

[@ksymango]

# About the TEST.EXE update - Just a week after I posted the video, TEST.EXE has received a new update... - WAVE 1-30 are the same as before, and WAVE 36-39 have the same unit placement as WAVE 31-34 pre-update. - Before Dylan's World, new "Baseplate" stage appears as WAVE 31-35, and you can get an additional 150 tix! - FINALE has been completely reworked and features a new 4-phase boss named DYLAN (finally a stage name worthy...) - Many players have been exploring ways to solo DYLAN quickly, most notably by imbuing Ninja Stars, or using the Mining Helmet's resistance penetration ability! But we don't know if these methods will be patched soon I won't be able to use my PC for a month due to school work, so the new guide video will probably be uploaded sometime in November!

@@ksymango it’s fine We can definitely wait and we will explore more strats for more players

[@TheAscended-one]

hey bro i need some advice how do i get to start the TEST.EXE becuse i cant find how to start it anywhere

[@ksymango]

Reach level 75, and it should show up in campaign menu

[@jennyjin1617]

Idrk how ninja stars work but from experience (as someone who enjoys screwing with Dylan in sandbox and winning). The most effective methods seem to be the parrying with miner helm as they do bogus damage and affect all other bosses too. Or doing a ful-filled piñata by: throwing piñata, hitting it with sword, SoT twice, bazooka. That combo does big damage but is ask the most mechanically challenging one to pull off so stay bloxxing bloxxers!

[@MX_Plumber]

The best way to fight Dylan is full charge pinata

[@goldenzed6455]

Additional Tips: King isn't the only enemy that will use certain attacks if below a certain health threshold. Other enemies will only start using certain moves when they go below a certain health threshold. Jason will only start using his chainsaw throw ability if you damage it for around 800-1000. Giant (especially the boss version) will only start to use shockwave attacks beyond its dash distance when damaged. Though keep in mind, the boss version has increased dash distance. This means if you can't comfortably do the corner strat, you can lure the Giant to another side of the map then get as far away as you can from it and then focus on killing all the noobs first before focusing on the Giant. Just be sure not to damage it.

[@SOLBrickbattler]

Such a detailed guide on how to beat test.exe. Good timings, good strategies, and good amount of training. I see nothing wrong with this video. Definitely approve of this.

[@KenVu-mp1ep]

This is a real masterpiece, and bro even turned it into a documentary, a true guide moment

[@Archexo]

i didnt realise that SR's did MORE damage then NR's really helpful guide! it's also really entertaining to watch, keep up the good work!

[@gneu1527]

Nuclear reaction's have more range, but Super reactions for some reason do more damage. Wonder if it's intentional. I usually use super reactions, but use nukes on big crowds or bosses that move a lot.

[@inevitableaa]

insanely underrated youtuber all ur vids are amazing

[@MineHL001]

11:37 There's a easier way to defeat the G I A N T! -Frist, when the G I A N T spawn in the game, lure it so it go trapped in the back of the mansion -Flee away by sling pogoing, and then kill all the OBC noobs (There's only 60 of them spawning) -After that, comeback to the G I A N T and than overheal it!

[@epicmathlearning5306]

you can SOT chain the largest noob above the bridge. this kills the noob very fast, however you may need to stop and get some lifesteal to continue the chain because the noob can still hit you.

[@cheemscanhsat3233]

you put a lot of efforts here, i hope ur vid will go viral soon!

[@Diamondfurry]

You can throw piñata to the ground, then get on top of it (you can do this almost instantly) and hold m1 on sword to get it 75% filled easily (it can fling)

[@RFu-q-e1x]

im an inexperienced player (who somehow beat test.exe) and i want to say that these strategies are so good! maybe a bit too good; there are lots of techs that may be too experienced for a lvl 75 to even know (i myself didnt know what a nuclear reaction was until lvl 55). i myself think a good way for a more inexperienced player is to use a nuke strategy in early game; start with the worst early game build ever (rocket launcher + bomb) and spam super reaction while running. use tixplosion to upgrade rocket launcher to bazooka at wave 5. bazooka allows its own type of pogo, and using the astronaut helmet accessory can make it an infinite travel since the bazooka reloads 1 rocket before touching the ground this way. this may not work but its a possible way since this was my replacement of a slash of tix D:

tip : the comically large killbot can be killed faster by using your bazzoka whenever it shoots cuz it will make a super reaction which have a higher damage output

boo

[@astaring]

pretty cool guide!

[@Tevioln_Repper]

Small tip (Kinda useless but it’s gooooddd): Recommend getting the red crown accessories(I forgot the name) to fight the Jasons easier, since it boosts your weapons speed with each slash or each parry, 1% speed for each slash and 5% for each parry, 200% is max, also good for demolishing giant noobs when have enough speed, and good for golden noobs if there is gun man or emerald blaster, or outrage trooper (Katana needed)

[@brick1099]

Btw, for a run, I think i could use honourbound, to out heal some stuff

[@newbiepro2k1]

Thanks for the guide, I really like doing test.exe because it’s really rewarding to beat, by the way why is katana not needed?

[@ksymango]

katana is a solid upgrade for boosting sword performance! but in test.exe, enemies swarm from all directions, so NR attacks suited for crowd control tend to be more effective than melee. if you're really set on using the katana, one option is to buy both the bazooka and pinata to enhance your NR, after that you can swap out your sword for katana in wave 30 shop, with the cost of taking 20% more damage! tldr: you can buy katana if you want, but you'll take 20% extra damage for that

[@WassanaBall]

When is update test.exe guide?

[@ksymango]

I was planning to create it, but dylan boss itself on solo is very inconsistent, repetitive, no visual cues, luck-based patterns, and forces you to use certain gears only... I don't really think that boss is well designed for solo gameplay but I might update it when they might be patched or something!

[@Wirxiezz]

how do you play test.exe?? i only have untitled initiation and act 1

[@AnOrdinaryPlayer5431]

By getting to max level (75+).

[@kaydenchen5737]

does explosive pinata do more dmg than subspace tripmine when imbued with everything possible

[@ksymango]

maybe, but explosive pinana can't be imbued perfect(fire+ice+electricity) unlike subspace tripmine

[@bir2880]

How do you even get test.exe/can you still enable it and how??

[@ksymango]

You can reach level 75 to host test.exe campaign

[@VerySillyr6]

I think u just need to go coin chain trooper at the start of w32 before cannon and mark spawn

[@ksymango]

maybe, but you should be more careful since you can get attacked by mystic jason like 28:23!

there isn't much synergy you can do without freeze ray or firebrand, so you essentially purchase the same tinebomb for 150 tix
