LET THERE BE FIRE - Demon Wand - Brotato Danger 5 Random / Random

THE WORST WEAPON MEETS THE STRONGEST CLASS!
Random class, Random weapons, going for win streaks! Currently at: 2
Detailed tutorial and gameplay for Brotato 1.0 on max difficulty, including the unique mechanics, best build, and tips for this class. This run features splash damage!

[@Grillsymanson]

Both options are fine, as long as you are enjoying them :) I will watch anything, just love to fall asleep while listening to your guides

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words :D

[@Erlewyn]

Dude, if the game was "catch the projectiles", I'd be unbeatable!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

If only! Though when I think about it I guess that's basically a rhythm game and I am truly terrible at those

[@nexalacer]

This video made me think a video about item combos might be worthwhile. One you missed here was the piggy bank with padding.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah for sure - definitely just rolled past it out of habit!

[@Zzasrix]

Loving the content... keep it up : ) As far as the Random/Random goes. I'd like it to be vanilla characters. Mods that dont add characters or items/weapons would be fully ok by me. Something I noticed in one of the videos is that you didnt take the win. You rolled Doctor, but said it was easy and didnt play it through. From my perspective, I'd like to see the win and if you don't like it because its easy then flex on the run and do something interesting like take the first random weapon given, or show how far you can push in any stat, or whatever.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! The reason I didn't pick Doctor was that I actually randomed his weapon in my class guide to the doctor - I figured that would be redundant to do again :D

[@Oliver-OCR]

I would love more randomness

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks for the response!

[@JC-zx5li]

Maybe reroll if you've done that char in the last 5 ... stops it being just every 1 in a random order but also stops 3 in a row the same

[@Oliver-OCR]

I haven't seen any modded brotato but I think it would be fun

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Cheers! There will definitely be some soon

[@게임보는채널-m7h]

Wand is cool

[@Cephalopocalypse]

I was surprised how well it worked!

[@Bogrin]

I can never turn down pocket factory!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

It's always a struggle! I'm glad I didn't on this one though

[@thedeaderer8791]

I think that either way for the videos is fine but please do mods separate from these vids

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks for the reply! That seems to be the prevailing opinion :D

[@TheHuntermj]

I won't watch modded runs.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks for the response!

[@dmoody4047]

The mashtato mod in particular has some interesting character ideas. I’d love to see how you deal w winning d5 runs w them. I think the random runs are good w/o modded content making it harder. Would prefer just run w whatever character you roll, and reroll if the weapons a repeat. I think it’s best to keep modded runs and random runs, separate, though

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! Appreciate the recommendation and the detailed response, really helpful!

[@bjarkov12]

I think piggy bank is a viable item on demon; you have rounds where you are practically not spending materials, and all the extra materials contribute to future max hp

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yes you're definitely right! I just skipped it out of habit without thinking it through

[@will5136]

I think keeping it vanilla might be better. Great content, keep it up!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! Appreciate the reply

[@BlackBinderGames]

I just finished it with 6 wands. It cleared waves incredibly quickly but took about 40 seconds to kill the wave 20 bosses.

[@NewtoRah]

27:05 would that piggy bank have been good since you hold onto so many resources between rounds to gain health? As for randomness, I think keep re-runs, but reroll if you get a substantially similar item as before. Maybe do some modded content outside the random-random series, until you start to get a bunch of repeats?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah I definitely missed a trick not taking it since i had the padding. Sometimes when combined the bad items are less bad!

[@tylersudol9551]

I tried that on demon, because you reconvert your held materials between rounds you struggle to get above 500 materials

[@TheCoolerMaz]

im personally not really interested in any modded runs but I'm enjoying the series so far.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! Appreciate the response

[@douglasanderson7260]

Variety. I would be against mods, I am sure some of your viewers are on consoles that don't allow mods. I am enjoying this series, it is kind of fun trying to reproduce your runs.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! And yes, there's definitely a risk with mods of showing stuff people can't do themselves.

[@DatShadyGuy]

I'm down for mods. Don't care where you place them. mods help keep things fresh.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! Appreciate the response!

[@openthevoid1064]

i love this series and i love modded things, but its really enjoyable seeing you play every character in a wierd way. gmo mod is awsome and i would to see random random runs with that mod

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! Appreciate the response

[@Pescao]

Another synergy that would be worth considering is a Piggy Bank and a Padding - since you were not spending all the materials in the shop - Piggy Bank would be profitable IMO. What do you think?

[@wtfpwnz0red]

I feel like the way rounding works, shouldn't a coupon reduce the cost of everything by at least 1hp? Piggy bank should be awesome economy imo.

[@dillishiousdetritus]

Agreed on all questions. More variety is better.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Appreciate the reply!

[@jongreenepwns]

Algorithm. Haven't even started the video yet

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Legend

[@genesis3141]

More variety, no opinion on modded chars

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Good to know! I think that's the prevailing opinion

[@thricestrat]

For % damage - does it work by just doing a multiplier of your flat damage? For instance; if you have 10% dmg, and base 10 damage, do you then apply 11 dmg points? (Well plus ranged, melee, elemental flat dmg of course) I’m trying to keep the example simple.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yep, that's exactly right

[@JandarLefey]

I prefer you keep doing full Random/Random, skipping precise combos you’ve done rather than characters. It still comes out wildly differently. One other thing I’ll note because I saw you skip it. Demon *really likes Piggy Bank*. Those gained materials do translate to more HP, and past wave 8 or so (on non-Scepter builds, anyway) you tend to have significant amounts left over to get interest on.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Appreciate the reply! And yeah I definitely just missed out not taking piggy bank here - just too used to skipping it!

[@acidman806]

Maybe demon is the best character for endless with something like potato thrower that scales with hp?

[@tedridout2541]

Thanks so much for your tips! I won today on Danger 5 with Brawler! Do you have any tips for manipulating (I'm assuming the mobile and PC version are kinda similar) the shop to drop me more flamethrowers when I play Wizard?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Nice! Great job! The mage should have flamethrowers drop pretty frequently, because it's tagged with elemental already - then just making sure you have only elemental weapons in your inventory should maximize the chances. Once one drops, you should see more as well, because there's an additional chance of dropping exact match weapons. Hope that helps!

[@seawolfben]

Re-roll for more variety is better. Not a fan of mods... I like your take that S tier characters should be the minority and C/D tiers should be thr majority. If you do modded - harder is better then power creep.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Agreed - I don't see a need to try mods that just make the game easier, but there's lots that have interesting designs or extra challenge

[@grumpybuddha927]

Enjoyed this, but bizarre you keep saying materials are kind of useless when every 13 are a hp. Not sure it makes sense to so casually dump 20+ materials on reroll after reroll early.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

That's fair - to be honest I have never or only once before played a non-ghost scepter demon, so I was kind of making this one up as I went along!

[@big_bad_cat]

I think that "random-random" can give us amusing content for next couple of months. Then there will be a need of extra content and you can explore some brotato mods!

[@Cephalopocalypse]

True! There's a lot of combinations (and even very small content mods geometrically add tons more, so I'm really not worried about running out)

[@Lordosvk]

I would like to see charcters with diferent builds cuz i think some of then can by played with difirent weapons and tactics. I still love the brotato series. Do you know game wartales?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! I loved Wartales, though I never ended up finishing it - the late game got incredibly slow just from having to move so many characters, but I really enjoyed how much variety it gave you. I'm still waiting for the perfect mercenary sim blend between that and Battle Brothers

[@visatergo8425]

I would say keep this series vanilla and make a new series for mods. You can use a character again, but when the weapon do not change the previous playstyle, reroll again. Just do what is interesting and we are happy.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks! Appreciate the reply!

[@tbrownz950]

Loved this play through! Agree with some others on keeping modded as it’s own playlist vs this one. I personally enjoy the challenge aspect being vanilla based.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks very much! And yeah I think that's the prevailing opinion

[@icthulu]

Enjoy your content and hoping that you might bring in a GMO discussion. A better understanding of how to approach mixing and matching characters would be quite welcomed when you feel it would fit your channel. As a side note, wonder why you didn't look at the piggy bank since you gain HP based on materials at end of wave and you aren't spending them in rerolls.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

GMO is super cool and I will definitely play it! Piggy bank I should have taken for sure, that was just an oversight - not used to having Padding or playing non-scepter Demon so made a few mistakes!

[@icthulu]

@@Cephalopocalypse Never worry! You cover all the basics, so min maxing isn't missing the core of your content. Happy days to you.

[@cqstle-]

New weapons would be more preferable if there is a different play style but I'm down for either.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Yeah, I think either way I would skip weapons that are too similar, even if I play different combos

[@Wall-Might]

Im a fan of the variety of it

[@axr9151]

The gall to drink scotch, keeping it classy

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Nothing classier than scotch and brotato!

[@julienperron1532]

You could be including the modded character into the random/random after a tutorial being done with it?

[@Cephalopocalypse]

True! I haven't decided exactly how to pull modded characters in - I don't know if there's the same demand for tutorials as with the vanilla classes, but obviously there's some interest in seeing them and also I'd like to keep things fresh

[@julienperron1532]

@@Cephalopocalypse i guess you could try to start with adding fun game modifiers mods like a randomiser or something like that to start leaning into the modded version of the game

[@coprophagichobo2377]

Btw wand only is possible, high attack speed makes it do actually good dos

[@coprophagichobo2377]

Yeah, I was honestly more impressed than I expected to be with the wand, at least on a super strong character like Demon!

I love the sound of the dual character mod

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Coming soon!

[@KyleHead]

I’ve only watched a couple of these videos (I found you from BG3) but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. I personally think more variety would be good, but if you rolled a particularly interesting one, a repeat wouldn’t be bad either.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Thanks so much! It's great to hear there's some crossover, I always wonder how many people make the jump to other games!

[@Nigel_Igor]

Two characters would be really fun and cool please do that.

[@Cephalopocalypse]

Definitely! I have some GMO stuff coming up soon, it's just such a cool concept

You have to win a Danger 5 run (with any character) to unlock it! The easiest to get that with is probably Knight or Doctor - check out my guides to those if you need tips
