Garlic seems completely underrated by the community. Is it the best weapon for a kill build? Obviously not. Is it the best weapon for a new player with zero powerups or characters? Absolutely. Garlic is by far the best early game farming/safety weapon in the game (you literally can't die for the first few mins lol), and using Poe will allow a new player to quickly gain powerups and character unlocks.
@NeverNathaniel2 жыл бұрын
Fully agree. It's utility is also surprisingly overlooked by many of the detractors on Reddit / Discord. It fits into most builds as a good early aggression weapon that becomes more defensive later in the run.

Yeah, Garlic is not only good for early game but it have knockback for late game too, although it'll start falling off, and there are better options. The problem is, it's taking up a valuable slot. Leaving you with 4 or 5 if you're playing with Poe for weapons. Leaving you with less potential DPS for late game. If there's a way to "banish" existing equipment, I'm sure that Garlic will become top tier or automatic pick for that matter.

Something like that might be fun to look at and give an explanation about strategies for survival type runs.

At about 6:50, Runetracer is really good for staying alive during waves where you're getting swarmed, as it's one of the better weapons for thinning swarms down to a more managable level. Also effectively scales up your Garlic/Bible since anything that can get that close to you has already taken Runetracer damage and thus, will be easier for your close-range weapons to kill. Like you said earlier, the best defense is a good offense.

My win strat as I learned the game had become the clocklancet time freeze stick plus the two birds evolved, forgive me on the names here. I go, wherever the time freeze stick is freezing and or wherever the super bird is killing, they dictate where I run in a crowded area or I die. Even if my DPS is too low, I live by running in to enemies frozen by the time freeze stick. I didn’t have many different items going through the game since I focused my gold on more upgrades and didn’t start buying more characters till later.
