Quick note, tentabauble's chance to proc is not linear, it is actually hyperbolic, meaning that 5 tentabaubles isn't a 25% chance to proc, it's a 20% chance

[@jelp8768]

Can u explain how does that work

[@Alchs-Wife]

@@jelp8768 Instead of adding a basic +5% chance to the proc chance (which would make it 10%) it follows the formula of 1 - 1 / (1 + 0.05 ⋅ amount) which, to simplify it, makes every tentabauble do less and less as the overall effect on the equation is felt less and less. Consider it like 1+10 and 1+100, while this is an extreme example, the principle is the same; the 1 has more of an effect on the 10 than it does on the 100.

[@aniska_enjoyer]

Basically it’s kinda like stacking tougher times

@@jelp8768 you would need infinity tentabaubles to reach 100% proc chance... However, you only really need like 10-100 for good enough.

This is how I found this item for the first and only time so far, glacial family of crabs boss.

[@RadmanTheWise]

I'm much more likely to get a gun and see a crab. That method sounds like a 1/1000 chance.

[@cryamistellimek9184]

Also might as well add, if you have Brilliant Behemoth, if the attack that procs it procs lost seer lenses, if the explosion touches the teleporter boss it instakills them too. Only Mithrix and the Voidling are immune to this interaction.

[@zafarb4219]

Does that mean you have to shoot near the legs of the boss and not directly at him? Or am I allowed to shoot at the boss itself and hope that the behemoth explosion with proc void crit afterwards?

[@rosegold7865]

​@@zafarb4219 If the original attack would proc Void Crit, Behemoth procs void crit despite not having a proc chance

[@thishuman4171]

​@@zafarb4219 You actually have to insta-kill an enemy near the boss so that the AOE of the Brilliant Behemoth reaches it. When shooting at the ground the game does not attempt to trigger the effect, only when shooting an enemy. This is evidenced by the fact that shooting the ground with 200 Lenses (typically a 100% chance to insta-kill) and a Behemoth will damage normal enemies without insta-killing them. Your attack must make direct contact with an enemy for the effect to have a chance of triggering. The catch with bosses is that they have a co-efficient of 0, meaning they will never trigger the effect for any attacks that hit them even though the enemy type itself is not immune to the effect. That's why Lenses still work on Magma Worms, Beetle Queens, etc. and can be insta-killed directly outside of the teleporter event. Those types of enemies are not inherently bosses, they outside of boss fights until much later into the run. It's possible to get swarms of a normal enemy as the teleporter boss in which case they behave the exact same as Mithrix and Voidling are unique in that they are the only enemies in the game to be immune to the effect itself, regardless of whether it procs or not. Although it should be noted that while Twisted Scavengers accessed through the celestial portal aren't immune, only 1 of the 4 Scavengers can spawn monsters, meaning the other 3 do not offer opportunities to utilize this tech. This can be circumvented by enabling the Artifact of Chaos and sacrificing one of your allies although it's very risky as your survivor is not immune to the insta-kill without the affects of Tougher Times or Safer Spaces.

I find it intersting how the 4 lowest void item's normal item counterparts are amazing items. truly shows how much replacing bad with good and vice versa matters in rankings

[@benro6564]

ATG, Wisp, and Ukulele are fantastic as well. The difference is the void counterparts are equally or more overpowered

[@ins0luble_678]

[@TheLeviathan1293]

13:55 I think the most important thing of this one is how you know exactly when you're going to block the attack and can plan accordingly. Tougher times works, or not, independently from your skill, but safer spaces works better the better you are at the game.

[@jadedglass]

In the Needletick section, you didn't point out that since Shatterspleen can still apply bleed, with a high enough crit chance + Shatterspleen, Needletick becomes the blatantly obvious choice.

Wait does shatterspleen+tritip not double bleed?

[@coiledAgent]

@@jucom756 I'm pretty sure it does apply 2 stacks of bleed each, but there's also something to be said about using bleed+collapse together for items like Death Mark.

[@sleeve.3995]

i think in singleplayer, unless you have a dios, its an obvious pick up. you would never reroll because it would become a bloom, and it gives you another chance, which regardless of the possibility to cripple you, is a good thing. however i honestly would never pick it up in multiplayer because you come back the next stage anyway as long as youre not the last to die, and the possibility of my friend(s) finishing the stage is way better to me than the possibility of it changing my 3 bands and charged perf on loader into a zoea and a singularity

[@TheLeviathan1293]

10:45 Also consider that Voidsent deals damage to the enemy you hit, Will of the wisp does not, because the enemy is... dead. So when you don't have enemies grouped together Will of the Wisp does nothing, while Voidsent flame still does damage. And when you have 3 enemies, each explosion deals 260%x3 (one of them without fallof, the others with falloff), while Will of the wisp will deal 350%x2 (with falloff) Unless there are a lot of stacks and/or a lot of enemies inside the aoe, Voidsent will actually deal more total damage.

[@stalehuman7585]

voidsent also doesnt work if the enemy dies in 1 hit

[@cloaker609]

Also voidsent is really good at taking out flying enemies

[@darkAwesome100]

one note about the plasma shrimp: the game doesn't state it anywhere, but I've found that there is actually a difference in how the ATG and the shrimp acquire their targets. If the target they are locked on to dies, ATG missiles will simply lock on to a new target immediately, whereas shrimp missiles will simply impact the area where the enemy was and explode. In actual gameplay this difference rarely matters, but it can be a detriment in niche builds such as pure-melee Mul-T.

[@Iteration456-8_codename_goblin]

5:30 yeah I had to double take when I first heard “Prolapse”

[@OlofMemester]

It is worth mentioning that with a behemoth the lost seers glasses can one shot bosses. If you 1shot an enemy near the boss, the explosion damage will be equal to that of the 1 shot and hit the boss, dealing an insane amount of damage

[@pilotkaboom2974]

Note on voidsent flame, it requires YOU to hit the target FIRST. It doesn't activate if any of your drones or other allies make that first hit, meaning any builds with a lot of allies really cripples it.

[@BigDBrian]

the dmg is fine but lower the cooldown. It has utility and cc and also proccs items really well, on multiple targets to boot. The cooldown hurts it, and it's not as reliable as the bands for guaranteeing good damage in your build.

@@BigDBrian It also can't be used in blast shower builds like regular bands can, where you get 2x band procs per blast shower refresh compared to the 0 with void band. even if it gave you the refresh on vband it would still be a tough sell I think but that would at least give it some merit as like a solid, consistent aoe proc chain starter that wasn't crippled by the crazy cooldown.

2:40 bro dropped the hardest risk of rain 2 transition and thought we wouldn't notice

[@vincentlelong3106]

11:06 One important detail to add I think is that this tier list was made with solo play in mind. I feel like the ranking of some items would be different when playing with 4 players. This is especially true for Voidsent Flame, because it is waaaaay harder to proc in a 4 player lobby than Will O Wisp. Multiplayer lobby also reduce the risk of picking a void item worse than its normal version, which would make corrupted band and glasses a better rank imo. They both are fine items, the reason they are that low in the tier list is because their normal version are waaay better. But in a 4 player lobby, another player than the one playing loader could still pick up the corrupted band and benefit from its bonus, without sacrificing anything.

[@Leo-kz2bb]

the only problem i have with safer spaces is that unlike tougher times, its actually used by mithrix. if you stack it up enough, mithrix becomes borderline *immortal.* Edit: How on earth did my comment explode this much?

[@darkAwesome100]

I will say that lost seer's lenses can actually go from mid to AMAZING if you manage to get your hands on a behemoth (or several). Because of a quirk in the way that proc chance works, if you trigger the instant kill on an enemy, it will also instant kill any other enemy caught in the blast and, because of an oversight in how boss immunity is calculated, that includes bosses themselves.

[@jucom756]

Lost seers lenses is actually a unique damage type, so, except for the mythrix fight, if you have behemoth and lost seer a small enemy next to a boss, the behemoth will insta kill everything in the behemoth radius including the boss.

[@AsaraBuck]

Once again very cool intro. Thanks disputed, very cool

[@user-ud5zj5jg4m]

Nice video grandad! However, two notes here: 1) Old seer lenses are even better on bandit because instakill with the revolver counts towards desperado stacks or lights out cooldown refreshing. 2) Corrupted Dios are decent equivalent to regular ones on engi because even if you don’t plan on dying yourself, your turrets are not that tough in early game. So larvae can help them stay alive longer and even make use of genesis loop. At least once per turrets life cycle as it is turned immediately into zoea.

[@MinhNguyen-te9is]

The void items seem to be really interesting to play with. Can't wait to play the DLC on console when I am just as old as you, Grandpa! On a side note it's also a bit odd to me that the void items are generally considered as an upgrade or side grade, even though pretty much half of them can be extremely detrimental to your run.

[@kevinwells9751]

Which half? Most of the time the only ones I really won't take are void band, void glasses, and benthic (if I'm playing a serious run, otherwise I love benthic, so much fun), the rest I would take far more often than not, though some are of course survivor/run specific

[@natekite7532]

Not really. Only void band, crit, and bloom are never-picks, while needletick, lysate cell, and tentabauble really depend on context. Contrast this with the rest of the list: safer spaces, polylute, plasma shrimp, and key are all run-carryingly good. Wungus and void sent flame are both great with no downside, while larva is only mostly good but replaces a red item so it doesn't _really_ have a downside. So really it's 3 bad, 3 context-dependent, 3 great, and 4 absolute auto-picks. Also keep in mind that reds are rare, so it's really more like 2/11 items that are extremely bad, while 6/11 are always worth taking.

[@zunlise2341]

I really enjoy Needletick on Captain, Cap has a very low fire rate and x0.8 proc coefficient on hits which means he often loses bleed stacks, Needletick is often just as good on him, especially with the DLC since finding Dagger printers is less likely now. Also key is so powerful that just hoarding Rusted Keys until the end is a viable strategy.

[@averagewhale3871]

Fun safer spaces fact: the cooldown technically counts as a debuff and can be removed with blast shower, which can lead to the most busted immortality builds I have ever seen

A note on voidsent, which might be a bug, but it seems that drones don't actually activate it (or at least chaingunner drones don't activate it), but they do make enemies not have full health, so if you have chaingunner drones there are a ton of enemies that just don't explode ever. Also the damage loss is made up for a little bit by being somewhat usefull on single target enemies since the explosion affects the exploding enemy.

[@wingdingfontbro]

For those wondering what the chances of getting different rarities of void items when you have the vanilla void mod on which adds new void items, the chances are roughly 47.2% for both whitesa nd greens with a 5.6% chance for reds. 10 whites, 10 greens and 3 reds.

Lysate (Only really good on a few survivors, most it is just convenient and the trade off from fuel cell is equal imo) 8. Voidsent (If you have drones they ruin this item) 9. Larva (Can't die if you can't die) 10. Zoea (idk I like the friends, and a lot of yellows don't matter) 11. Wungus (I'd rather scrap my bungus to get other stuff and who needs healing anyways) Then it is another hard drop off to these which I think are just bad 12.

I have another situation where you'd pick up Singularity Band. You're an absolute newbie like me and haven't unlocked the other bands so you literally couldn't get them even if you wanted to, but you can still get the corrupted version for some reason (same with Benthic Bloom, saw it pop up during the run when I was unlocking the clover and that one Commando ability for doing 20 stages without a lunar item).

[@MuTHa_BLeePuH]

For voidsent it should be mentioned that it immediately turns to being one of the worst items in the game when taking drones or especially in multiplayer since it becomes really inconsistent to proc since an enemy needs full health. It becomes better once everyone starts having their own but since void items arent too common to come by its really hard for a group to each get their own voidsent flame

[@TheReaperFrostbite]

Ik this was 10 months ago but I feel like I should mention that singularity band can be really good for railgunner cuz it sucks all the enemies into one spot so you can just use a piercing shot to kill them all (also early gane if you don't have the bands unlocked)

[@yearoldsinger]

Id like to point out benthic bloom on bandit is actually really good, a heart light afterburner + brainstalks/alien head leads to almost permanent uptime on invisibility. And it doesn’t matter how slow you move if your enemies can’t see you to hit you

[@underdoug]

Something worth noting about the void-bands is that they have a proc of 1.0, where the other two bands do not (both 0). This doesn't make it good, but it certainly makes it interesting. I don't think it would take much to make it feel at parity with the bands it replaces when you consider it can proc behemoth, sticky bomb, atg, etc. and with enough of them it's a good bit of total damage into a good bit of total damage. I'm currently using a vands configuration mod and I've got the CD reduced to 10, and the damage bumped to 275% [+275%] to be in the middle-point between runald's/kjaro's and I've had some varied results between survivors (which is good, it shouldn't be great for everyone). If I get truly busted with the modified version I'm using I might nerf it slightly, probably make the CD 15, so it can proc 10s after it pops instead of 10 seconds after it procs. I was using 200% [+200%] with a bigger area for a little while but it was quickly overtaking the stage and *everything* in it takes the full damage, so while middling in damage generally speaking it was a bit much, hitting everything in the fight every 10 seconds.

[@xRagingxDemonx]

Plasma Shrimp is my favorite void item. I can have a build with no damage items so far and it enhances it enough where i'm not stressing anymore. It also pairs so well with Shattering Justice and Scorpion when I'm trying to complete my death mark build. Shatterspleen crit builds are too valuable to lose it to void friends, and since Tri-tip doesn't stack wtih shatterspleen, needletick just becomes that cherry on top to throw my lazer boomarang at a group of enemies and listen to the sweet sounds of Shrimp and Predatory Instinct's loud crunching noises. (2 amazing items that have the most obnoxious sounds)

[@bustybishop1753]

I use mercenary and occasionally will pickup the singularity band. If you use the single dash that exposes and the projectile eviscerate, every time you I hit something I’ve exposed it takes a second off my cooldowns so I can just proc the singularity band to draw a bunch of enemies together and I just spam my abilities into the middle to expose all of em and keep refreshing my cooldowns so I can keep spamming abilities until the singularity band explodes. Gets a lot of damage off for the merc, especially if you’ve got a decent amount of lost seers lenses. I’ll always prefer the runalds band tho

[@thatguyeatingchips18]

The transition at 2:41 was really cool

[@WiseViper39]

Came back to this video because I just got the dlc on console, and personally, as a bandit main, you’d be surprised at how strong needletick is, and I feel like deciding between tip and needle is how your build is going, for example, on bandit, you can build up 12 collapse stacks with 3 needleticks very fast and get a massive nuke off, and Bandit already has hemmorage, but commando, huntress, (maybe MUL-T and Railgunner’s M1) get more use put of tri tip because of it’s sustainability, I don’t, however, like corrupted lens, because it feels like an attempted replacement for guillotine (or however you spell it) but, like all items, they have their moments to shine

[@MVDNXGHT]

If you find yourself with shatterspleen, having lots of lens glasses will always guarantee bleed to proc because of your constant crits. In this case the tri tip is useless and needle tick would be great. Also adding an extra debuff to help with death mark

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

Something that should move lost seer lenses further towards the bottom of the list is the bug that has existed since the launch of survivors of the void where instant killing void seed enemies doesn't actuallh reduce the enemy count, meaning the void seed will never go away.

[@gildomasky2614]

Just bought the game + expansion at the recommendation of a friend. Helpful video. Bungus is essential on engi, if not using command/sacrifice. Wungus better on everybody else. Will play with more void items based on this tier.

[@dilph]

Wungus is better than Bungus, but Bungus is still useful on most survivors, it just depends on the type of run you are doing. Most current item tier lists are based on E8 so standing around waiting for Bungus is a no go, but if you are playing a normal run, having Bungus for stuff like blood shrines is useful. For example on Monsoon if you loop until the enemies hit lvl 99 there are still pockets of time you can use Bungus to either hide and heal, or if you have an item like Aegis, you can double your health at any point with shields and hop into a fight with a bit more reckless abandon. Bungus is not great for Eclipse runs but it is a fine defensive item on the right builds on Monsoon. It depends on if you plan on playing Eclipse exclusively. Just informing you since you are new to the game, and a lot of info thrown around about Bungus nowadays is that it is either trash or only useful on Engi, which is simply untrue.

16:46 fun fact, tou can get Lunar items out of them with Eurology 0, have fun mathing that one, and yes, I’ve seen it before, it was the little scarab looking item

[@alexcat6685]

3:40-4:54 Lost seers Lenses: Your attacks have a 0.5%(+0.5%) chance to instally kill a non-boss(enemy with the red healthbar) enemy. Against only Bosses Has a 20%(+5% per stack) crit chance. since its only against bosses its atleast some form of use generally and things that rely on crit are still effective just only against main objectives compared to the original thats good against anything.

Even if vand had half the cooldown as bands I don’t think it would be worth it. The potential to stage four skip mithrix is too good to give up. The only way to fix it is to add a second void band, this current one would replace runald, it would keep the 20 second cool down because vacuuming a whole group into the kjaro blast would be a little too op, the one that replaces kjaro would have to pair well as a single target damage and the only thing I can think of is making it just do a lot of damage and that probably still wouldn’t get picked up because the possibility of skipping on mithrix is too good

[@zekerdeath]

wungus is a small bit low(like id put it above tenta cuz youll barely get stacks of the latter, making it less useful imo), but good list overall! I can see void dio's being controversial, but honestly if I need a dio's in a run then that run is probably boned anyway, and a second life with potentially worse damage isn't gonna save it.

It's ok to be wrong, wallmart Cap

[@BeenBased]

His tierlist was good tho

[@khailils446]

Walmart only has one L, you must be British or something cause a real American Patriot would not make such a mistake.

You can abuse safer spaces because reload of this item is debuff, with item that cleans all debufs you can instantly reuse safer spaces. That means if you have many fuel cells you can by fastly pressing q make safer spaces with almost no cooldown, texnecly if you have 500 fuel cells with fullcharge on steam deck you can get 5 second of invicibility, because steam deck can automaticly press the button 100 times in a second.

Best time to take a needletick is when you have good crit and a shatterspleen, making your bleed stacks obsolete. Had a run with bandit where i had bleed stacks, got a shatterspleen, turned the bleeed into nick and was stacking bleed and collapse at the same time. Run was insane

[@monopolysloth7957]

Love pluripotent larva on voidfiend runs. It makes it beyond easy to get max corruption bar if I’m going a constant corruption build

[@Alcamore]

needletick when you have shatterspleen and a decent source of crits is one of my favorite combos

[@agaardadaar5650]

Corridors of Time kicking in was godly

[@mw2masters11]

Good video

[@Kaiberus]

i love the crit glass stuff, its so easy to get through runs

[@user-ke4rn1jd8o]

imagining a tick with a thingy on its butt that causes prolapse 😮

[@theprimegamer7086]

i like grabbing needletick only after ive managed to get a spleen, and since i typically play with command crit is usually maxxed out, bing bang boom ive got two debuffs like that and can proc death mark with just two more items

[@gmsp123]

For the record, needletick can definitely work without sacrificing bleed dmg if you get the shatterspleen and a decent crit rate boost.

[@SakyTenraku]

I'm pretty brand new to this game and picked it up cuz a friend of mine wanted to try co-op. But i have to say, Singularity band might not be good for most, but i've been using it on Artificer and it feels pretty solid and really synergizes with my aoe playstyle. I haven't ever gotten the other bands to drop on their own yet

[@Sypitz]

On the desert stage you can unlock the bands by opening that door. Like most locked doors, there’s a way to open them that’s hidden decently enough.

[@Basiliscool]

One time I had a run where I had where I had like 5 ukuleles and three clovers and I was suffering. After a while I picked up a polylutes and was able to go to stage 25 as captain, then I died to Diablo strike.

[@otamatonefan8996]

Tbh the Singularity Band has a few scenarios of being good, like with REX for extra crowd control that lets m2 spam smash several targets repeatedly. But yeah, for any case where a character doesn't have that kind of trick available, and/ or they have a ability that is hard hitting enough to make good use of the Runald's and Kjaro bands, then Singularity is worse.

[@littlemisshivemind9721]

Nicest thing about needletick is that + shatterspleen + chronobauble s 3/4 stacks for deathmark, so an Acrid, Rex, or Artificer can really make use of it.

[@dilph]

If you happen to get a shattering justice as well, it counts as the 4th debuff and can melt enemies if you are using Commando or Nail Gun Mul-T

[@SephirothsBIade]

Thinking about a tier list for Loop runs. Suddenly item combinations like Polylute and shrimp at 100 stacks crash your game and end the run

[@T4nkE-ng1ne]

Does the tri-tip dagger still proc if you have shatterspleen and 100% crits? And is the needletick better in that case?

[@luckylmj]

the only good use for singularity band which i don't think works anymore was that you could have an infinite loop of it, proccing all your abilities constantly with constantly scaling damage (due to having a non-zero proc chance of other abilities) if you used blast shower and stacked enough equipment cooldown effects

[@cooking.4465]

I think its important to understand that zoea shouldnt be judged based on the same basis as other, normal void items. You only either get it as: 1, a sort of “punishment” for dying with pluripotent larva, or 2: when you go out of your way to get it via tricorning a void crab on loop. Its more of a fun, thematic boss item than something that is actually supposed to be immensely powerful/viable.

[@soundest_plum185]

3:44 I recommend this item with Artificer flamethrower. Yea I know that flamethrower is not good option for Artificer BUT if you combine this ability with Lost Seers Lenses makes flamethrower a very very powerful ability
