I never had so much fun in this game until I switched to playing tactics. I was only a brutality player but switching to tactics is so fun. I personally enjoy playing with the crossbows

[@bradbradford8576]

The quickbow is underrated, I think. It fires pretty fast and after the 3rd arrow, every hit is a critical hit. That can be really useful with mutations

[@randymoreta5066]

The barbed tips mutation is a staple

they nerfed it so much. it used to crit after only 1 arrow and had wayy more damage.

if I was to rate all of your tier list videos, this one was definitely an S tier no doubt. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. By adding an affixes section and including footage for every single weapon shoes the amount effort you put into one video!

RIP Hokuto's! But once again, excellent video with entertaining presentation style and good insights. Love your videos!

[@pootytang1158]

i truly appreciate the dedication and quality you put into your videos, and im glad to see your improvement on commentary in your videos hope to see your channel succed

[@xkidmidnightx]

The Blow gun is one of the best ways to inflict poison in the game, especially with shots pierce. Its way faster than the carbine and has tracking so it's great for dual wielding builds. Slide from the blowgun to your main hand and boom, poison and maybe a crit too. You can use it with phaser and point blank too.

[@mees7920]

I really wish it was true, but alchemic carbine is just so much better. Alchemic carbine can even be a stand alone weapon with how good it is similarly to torch.

[@3Brostacokev]

I think it better if you shoot from a far. But if an enemy gets close on you will have to be doing a lot of dodging. The blowgun can at least put an enemy down if you get close.

[@playerpogg]

This is really helpful! I usually play on brutality, but I've been wanting to try out tactics for a while Now with all that in mind, it surely makes me start thinking about becoming Legolas

[@SUPERLEAF026]

Marksman bow and Explosive crossbow are two of my favorite ranged weapons in the entire game

[@Mode7_13]

Pyrotechnics is a S tier to me. Fireblast has a delay between the input and the first damage that can be hard to deal with in emergency situations and requires the player to stay still while using it. I've also the feeling of a weapon that has a weak stopping power Pyro, on the opposite, brings a better range, deals the first damage faster including at point blank, and has a combo pattern that can allow to save the big fireball for a strong enemy while giving more mobility.

[@Scroolewse]

For a relatively small channel you seriously put some work in! It's quite impressive and I definitely value your videos a lot.

[@Immys_Art]

I can’t question the boomerang, as it’s one of my favorite weapons to pick up in a tactics build when I don’t have anything else, or above all else.

[@JoeyIsGaming]

I just recently did a run with Ice Shards + Boomerang + Alchemic Carbine in backpack With poison synergy this just melted biomes like, I was getting hit often cause i got ahead of myself or by traps Almost went through the castle if it werent for me using 3 flasks on thr Giant cause it was my first time fighting him and i kinda just wanted him to be done as fast as possible

[@JoeyIsGaming]

I have to say with dual binding this wouldve probably led to me feeling my hand again lmao Kinda wish you could enable it in custom game somehow but it would disable trophies and would block the acquirement of the next boss cell

[@Immys_Art]

Unless they removed that too, you can still do that. It’s not in custom game, but rather in settings (I think). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

[@JoeyIsGaming]

@@Immys_Art i tried yesterday and it swaps the button mapping:/

[@Immys_Art]

@@JoeyIsGaming you need to go to custom game, then alternate bindings needs to be activated, then you can change to duel binding.

I'm sure on 5BC (not there yet) Hokuto's Bow really is dead, but I just had a run going with it a couple days ago on 2BC that went really well- If you manage to get +3 arrows & piercing on it, Hokuto's + Barbed tips + Networking is still great since the dot damage from barbs triggers the mark damage

[@marcusbressan28]

Hokuto bow is specially good when used in the bag

[@Learner0012]

I managed to achieve my first flawless boss kill with the Hokuto's Bow and Barbed Tips. To tell me that it's basically dead is a joke. Run a modification to give it extra arrows, run Barbed Tips, and that's all you need for it to be a primary weapon that just kills enemies over a short period of time.

The video is great, but a small nitpick i have is that the boy's axe is placed in S tier by Pseychie in the voiceover and graphic in it's section but at 30:13 it's listed as A tier. The rest of the video is great !

[@japu6906]

Try to useLlightingbolt + Acrobatipack, because everytime you proc it the lightingbolt does full damage and stop before getting the red collor and damaging you, i find it very good because since Acrobatipack have a internal CD, it matchs very well with the "cast time" of the lightining bolt

[@justinherrgott]

He’s literally using risk of rain two music soundtrack and I love it

[@user-nj3fg4kd1k]

blowgun has good synergy with networking, the idea is that you tag multiple enemies while running, then focus attack on a single enemy and it will share damage to all the enemies you just tagged, or you can use barbed tips as well along with networking, just run around the biome tagging enemies once and barbed tips and networking will kill enemies by themselves. still agree on the B-tier tho

[@Megaderpus_Maximus]

Another thing with heavy cross, you can run it with tactics and make use of point blank (literally what it's meant as) and maybe add in corrupted power, barbed tips, or both for that matter. It's more damage per shot with DOT but less shots and it's REALLY EASY to get hit. Overall if you can get the right window to shoot, you are good. Infantry bow: In terms of running it in tactics, here's my suggested build Point blank (obviously) phaser (hook alternative + get the 15% extra damage when hit in the back affix if you are lucky) Ranger's gear (combo with phaser for more damage.) Corrupted power (run this if you want or just use a turret) Marksman bow This bow can work when used with support weapons that have knockback and maybe Yumi. Suggested build Tranquility (obviously) Spartan sandals ( I know you may think it's a complete meme, but when used right, it can be deadly. Ripper (Run out of ammo? Punt their butt to kingdom come!) Lightspeed dash (dash in, kick their shins, dash out) Corrupted power ( because you are about being away from the enemy, it's easier to not get hit)

[@Noyaoming]

Sick video, thank you so much!

[@ToyKeeper]

I'd put e-whip as S tier, because it's just so quick, easy, and versatile. It does like the magic missles with built in float, to cheese almost any encounter. It's practically an automatic win.

[@kaiakaigninetails]

I had a run with Pyrotechnics that would deal bonus Dmg on poisoned Targets and an Alcemic Carbine that applied Oil on hit. The Dmg was insane but I still got clapped in the lighthouse cuz I can't 1v3 with about 6000 Health at 30 Scrolls. Tactics is rediculously squichy.

[@johnfrankster3244]

I agree with so many skills here, but after messing about id almost feel like yumis is now an A. Apart from being incredibly fun knocking back enemies, with owl your tear through biomes, add foresight as a bit of defensive boost & up to mid level bosses are pushovers. Tranquility, No Mercy, Disengagement early, & replace No Mercy with acrobatipack later. Concierge if you stand on the other side of the level is very easy no hit, although damage is slow. Conjuctivitis, is very easy aswell as baiting the tentacles near the wall then shooting them pretty much instant kills, with owl doing continuous damage. Ideally id take Giant over Clock, with foresight, a shield, and swap out owl for the chicken. By this point acrobatipack is more useful. If you have an alchemic carbine Yumis can hit both hands at once & tick damage away incredibly quickly, once hands are down, Pollo tears through the eyeballs in 3-4 pollos & giant dies. Same setup works well on HoTK, Yumis knocks him into the spikes(:p), Pollo tears through him.

[@berserkmoment]

the heavy crossbow paired with the point black mutation also destroys enemies aswell, combine that with the reloaded shot and corrupted power and it'll probably one shot some bosses

[@ayegaming14]

i agree with most of this and the only bad thing i have to say if you can even call it that is point blank is not a synergy for heavy crossbow

[@aBanabis]

idk, Hokuto's is still S tier for me. it's weird that you weren't doing any damage with the alchemic carbine, but it still works wonders with the throwing knife. I put the carbine in the backpack cuz it's the slowest of the 3 dot weapons. i see you also weren't benefitting from barbed tips because of only using the carbine with it. Maybe it just got nerfed with the carbine? maybe the tick-rate of poison is set at a weird number to off-set the damage. shrug, idk, because i feel like Hokuto's by itself with barbed tips is more than enough damage to kill most enemies. especially because it's a one and done type of weapon.

I rlly Like the weapons where you Need to Spend Something to Deal crazy damage, Like the collectors syringe or the ferrymans Lantern. I also think the ripper Mutation is the Most overlooked Mutation in the Game. Its able to Deal a Ton of damage. I Like to use this build: 1. Sadists Stilleto 2. quick Bow 3. Corrupted Power 4. (Any poison source) 5. (Backpack) Alcemic Carbine Mutations: 1. Ripper (Sadists stilleto makes the arrows Fall out + extra crit damage from Alcemic Carbine in Backpack 2. Ranged Backpack Mutation (Alcemic Carbine adds extra damage over time + crit condition For stilleto) 3. Barped Tips (This might seem to be anti synergy since you make arrows Fall out but it actually works pretty well, trust me. You can also use another Mutation but barped Tips + quick Bow is Just golden...
