Hardcore Halls Ep6 - Can we unlock the SAGE without DYING?!

[@grannath]

Love the series so far! I haven't played halls myself, but some other bullet heavens. Have you tried scaling damage over defense in the beginning? Damage means you kill more, which means more experience. Move speed is also a better defense, because when you don't get hit it doesn't matter how much damage enemies do. Looking forward to the next videos!

it's pretty hard early on to scale damage and attack speed high enough to completely carry. if we had a better healing item this might be a different case!

@ExplosivePaddle oh, thanks for explaining. Hard to tell from the video, but damage percent looks pretty low, I agree there. 😁 I really need to try the game myself, I guess

I just started the video but something came to mind. With character losses, will you still be able to hit 30 vendor buys after subtracting the missed gear unlocks? Off-hand I just remember shadow cloak, duelist spark, war chief's visor, shepherd's boon, defiant plate and mask of madness.

Nevermind, there's tons of gear

[@ExplosivePaddle]

Yeah if we fail hard enough that could happen. I'm thinking might need to do low torment to keep collecting items, otherwise we'll only see greens
