[@franvillacabero441]

doesnt that also get rid of your good status effects like haste and spikes?

[@covya]

The relic you were looking for is Shield spirit. Each time a shield is used, use all adjacent weapons. Give the weapon -1 attack. So using your shield would attack 3 times, and the -1 damage per attack would be countered by the +1 damage per attack from your other relic (and you can still scale by attacking directly)

[@jlco]

Actually, I believe the shield spirit doesn't activate stopwatch on swords, except on projectiles (at least, it did on the lightning bolt). So you'd have to use your weapon as much as your shields activate it to stay balanced. I don't know if this is how it's meant to work, but that's how it worked when I had both relics.

[@covya]

@@jlco it didn't work that way when I had it recently. I was only activating it once per energy rather than 3 times, but damage was staying static.

[@swordzanderson5352]

@@jlco Any effects that trigger on use, will trigger, since the relic makes shields use adjacent weapons, instead of acting like the adjacent weapons. Think of it as instead of you swinging your sword, your shield swung it for you.

[@cad97]

The risk then is spikes, since blocking would also proc enemy spikes 6 times (three attacks, each with extra vampirism)

[@Milenos]

When you don't want to deal with vampirism dealing spike back, you can reorganise and move manastone as, they are empty anyway.

[@bookreaderman6715]

@@Jawsomest the mana stones are normally an empty space so what he's saying is that Tyler could spend three energy and move the things that are giving him vampirism (and also meaning that he takes three times the amount of spikes damage) away from his sword and only take the spikes once

[@lucianoariasduval]

You can also set up your backpack differently depending on the fight you have ahead. I actually wouldn't be surprised if a super technical build with multiple different set-ups to counter every fight effectively is hidden somewhere, awaiting to be discovered. In this case, when you realise you're going to fight the wizard you could move your vamp crystals away *out* of combat instead of *during* combat. That's probably not the best application of this principle, but I think you can see how this could be useful. I was planning to eventually theory-craft a build that can switch from offense to defense based on the way the backpack is organised before the battle, just because it sounds cool.

[@doomse150]

Tyler!! You can get 8 energy instead with the one spot above the staff, as that is still a free space in the collumn

[@GreedyRadish]

At first glance, I wasn't convinced this game would have a lot of longevity. I figured it was a fun little gimmick game that would have little replay value. Your videos have convinced me that I was totally wrong. There are so many playstyles I hadn't considered at all, and these high floor level endless runs are really fascinating.

because of how fast the enemies scale, and how the player stalls out around endless mode, I'm not sure how far it is physically possible to get into endless without getting out-scaled. This is the furthest i've ever seen, though.

[@asierro2007]

With Haste buffs over 70 with very very mucho accesories Anti poison

[@TribonRA]

I currently have a run sitting at floor 104 with no signs of stopping. It relies heavily on the +1 Haste from shield you get from the forge, like the other guy said.

[@huckthatdish]

If spikes or flames aren’t also capped at 999, I think in theory the block cap can guarantee your end eventually, unless you can find basically infinite turn one single hit damages

[@xavion333]

There are actually infinite turn one damage combos in the game, the easiest being using a forge to get +1 rage on the berserker's club and the hourglass relic which gives weapons -1 damage on use. The berserker's club is a 0 energy weapon which deals decreasing damage to enemies and increasing damage to you the more you use it. With the hourglass it just always deals 0 damage so it becomes an infinitely reusable item of 0 energy for +1 rage. Then in theory on any fight you can just use the club like 5000 times for 5000 rage to oneshot anything but boy it'd be painful.

[@fictitiousacct6649]

Outscaling the enemies is possible, but it really requires certain things like rage and haste. It's only possible in quite a few specific scenarios because of how much faster the enemy damage and HP scale. I'm currently at 200 on a cleaver build that can do up to 92k after my 7 energy is used in turn 1, but it took a lot to get there.

[@BleachWizz]

12:00 nooo, you just need to wait 500+ turns so the spikes wear out and you'd be juuust fine

Did the porcupine build last night also... 11 energy, 2 hercule pavise(one with 3 haste) w/ 3 slats and a mirror shield, 107hp, and could heal for 45hp/energy(herb log/seasoning/leftover) I could max shield turn 1 with over 1,000 spikes per round(coral is amazing) Hard countered by a 6,000hp snake cause they apparently don't 'hit' you.

That still wouldn't be enough, since he can get at most 10 attacks pet turn, and even with 2 rags, that would reduce poison by 40 between each poison turn of the snake which still isn't enough. And eventually the snake will probably scale up to a point where it gives more poison than you have hp, so it will just instant kill you with no way to avoid it

[@anthonycannet1305]

@@doomse150 removing 40 poison from the attack that adds 40ish poison means he only gets single digit poison every other round. With the vamp and healing he gets per attack that covers the poison damage he’d be getting long enough to kill the snake and we already know he can handle the geck

@@anthonycannet1305 40 would be the max if he could get 10 attacks on every round, which is a very generous estimate, given that he also has to deal with the damage + burn from the Fire Gecko.

I don't know if it would have made a major difference, but I'm curious why you did not went to all healers to upgrade your HP when you still had a bunch of money (in the initial run or the first endless). It would have been better than just throwing it away and maybe you could have survived longer against poison. You had massive block but your HP was way too low, leaving you no room for error against what your block couldn't deal with.

[@Aliensrock]

I only remember missing one healer this run, and it was the very first because I was short on coins. I got fewer healers than usual this run, unfortunately! However, with the space I freed up, I could've added HP rings to my "must take" list.

[@doomse150]

@@doubl2480 I don't think it would have mattered either way. With his current loadout he gets to remove a maximum of 22 poison inbetween the poison turns of the snake (2 natural decay + 20 from rag assuming 10 attacks per round which is generous), so the snake giving around 44 poison per two turns would increase the total amount of poison stacks by at least 20 every other turn. And no matter your hp, this becomes a lethal amount in no time (lethal as in kills in one turn). There are very few ways to beat this encounter some of which being: 1. Turn 1 kill the snake 2. Kill the snake in a few turns and have enough heal to outlast the poison accumulated until that point 3. Be able to remove ALL poison over the course of two turns consistently.

[@ragegaming1653]

Shield spirit is the relic you desired, the only problem with it, is it tends to bug, and you need a second damage increase to properly counter its downside, even though technically Stopwatch and it should cancel each other out... Shield spirit lets shields use adjacent weapons, but give s said weapon -1 damage, stopwatch increases damage when a weapon is used by 1... yet when i had a build with all 3 coral, Shield spirit and Stopwatch, my weapons were DOWN scaling, as for some reason i was getting say 9 procs of shield spirit, but only 6 procs of stopwatch, which makes no sense, considering both proc upon weapon use

You should do a shiv run where you get a line of shivs and buff each ones damage output to decent levels. Shivs dont take any energy so its like free damage. Would be cool

[@empdisaster10]

From what I’ve seen because of the limited nature of your bag there’s always going to be something that after enough time will end your run. Even if you have the highest scaling like this it still will end it. Cleavers were ended by spikes, shields were ended by poison. It’s honest an inevitability in this game because it’s rooted in a “this beats that” gameplay style. It’s impossible to go all in on one item class and have an infinite run. Also due to how the enemies scale so fast, it’s more of an inevitability that they’ll out damage you at some point since there’s only so powerful you can be turn one

[@TribonRA]

Cleansing Flame let's cleavers handle spikes pretty well, especially if you avoid the swamp area that's locked off. But I hope they add more variety of enemies and randomness to the game so that you can't just avoid stuff that counters your build.

[@iamburnzombie3271]

There is a way to go pretty endless though, I saw a guy on floor 46 a couple weeks ago with a crazy cleaver build

[@icedtohfuu9555]

It's funny because there's a build that combines both shield and cleaver. Each time you use a shield, adjacent weapons gets used, so cleavers get used for 1 energy despite the 2 energy nerf.

[@lagg1e]

Obviously you can't get true endless without getting infinite backpack space or infinite permanent buffs like forges. Endless mode is probably the game's stress test, if a combination of items can beat every mechanic no matter how high you scale the numbers, that means the balance is out of whack.

could have switched the large shields for bucklers and got 2 more slots for free since the rapier's scaling would make them just as effective as the big ones.

[@Aviertje]

Could you have improved your final battle by tossing your gold and taking the extra shield? Faster block scaling would have saved energy for more attacks. But then again, that would have given you less space for energy recharges, so I am not completely sure how that balances out. Alternatively (or maybe additionally), you could have taken that one extra magical ingredient and eaten it at a crucial point to ensure you heal more or kill the snake faster, while still being willing to toss out your gold or even a mana orb to accomplish one extra energy recharge thingy for the battle. (The top left spot could also have held one of those, right?) IMHO Endless mode really need to let the backpack keep scaling. Not as fast, mind you; maybe just one space per five or ten or even twenty floors. Even the infinitely scaling builds need time to build, but in the end you just reach a point where you can't win anymore even if you had the perfect dream build... which defeats the point of it being 'endless'. If you are good enough at growing along the enemy scaling, not dying should always be attainable regardless of difficulty spikes.

Yeah but he gains bonus block one 3 shields for each attack. So yeah it could save him a bit of time but it’s not energy efficient.

@@TownieFormal oh yeah, I guess that makes sense.
