I Almost Threw the Entire Run with 1 Mistake!!! | Emberward Early Access

[@undisabled1552]

I just finished watching the video and i have to ask, are you intentionally not upgrading your towers for added challenge? Nice clutch win, too!

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

No @undisabled1552, I wasn't intentionally Not Upgrading Towers. I Just Forget that You can Upgrade Towers. Also, Isn't Buying a New Tower More Gold Efficient? (I Don't Actually Know, but it Seems that Way) Thank You, Still Can't Believe I Almost Threw the Run on Wave 3 of the Final Boss.

[@undisabled1552]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 I haven't actually done the math on it, but I'd imagine it varies from tower to tower depending on what the upgrade does. I know that upgrades on the buffed tiles are absolutely worth it, however

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Okay, Thanks for the Tip.

[@Jack-qs6gh]

15:10 with the Altar it works like Slay the Spire where you remove cards from your deck so you can redraw the better cards sooner. So you had two of the same zig-zag piece but one had the greater damage rune. So in theory, you remove the block without the buff so can get the buff block more often.

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Ohh. Yeah that Makes it Quite Good. Thanks for the Tip.

[@Jack-qs6gh]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 No worries! That's the only tip I can give as you are a much better player than me haha

Ive been trying to get a zero tower run with Demon Flame, but the best I've gotten is 1/4 hp bar on the final boss. Not sure if its possible, but I'm too close to give up now

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

That's Crazy!!! @undisabled1552, Are You Recording Your Attempts, Because It'd be Interesting to See what Your Thought process is Throughout the Run. Also, 1/4 Hp Bar is INSANE. How Much DMG was the Demon Flame Doing? 50 DMG? 100 DMG?

[@undisabled1552]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 unfortunately the NPC towers on the final stage eat a lot of the easy stacks, so it was only up to 20 or so. It's really interesting focusing on maze building instead of turrets and such. I feel like my general strategy has improved dramatically since trying this challenge. I haven't recorded any of it, but I may have to start! Or at the very least taking some screenshots. I'll have to unlock the rest of the useful Talents before giving it another real attempt!

I just want to say thank you for bringing this challenge to my attention! I have been trying this challenge out myself and been very consistent at getting to the boss battle but I never get passed the final wave before the boss comes in. I am curious if you have any self made rules you gave yourself for the challenge? Also I am interested in what stage you are doing it on? The Misty forest stage is very difficult in the boss fight. My home brew ruleset is : > Normal / Hard difficulty (I play on Normal I'm not that good to go onto hard) > No placing towers & placing down any blocks that has the scrap towers on them (the block one is the added challenge).

[@undisabled1552]

@@Jack-qs6gh yeah I play on normal, if I place a scrap block, I delete the towers off it before the wave starts (they sell for 0). I've been trying on the forest, but I might have to switch to desert because of the boss stage. The NPC watchtowers stealing kills really makes that fight difficult

@@undisabled1552 I am unsure if you do this but after I made the maze to maximise the range of the fire pit, I build out so the enemy pathing goes into the fog. So I wonder if there is a way to have the enemies go around the neutral turrets range? Also have you been going for as many blocks as possible or as many relics as possible? I find you need all the relics that deal with the fire to have the best chance.
