They really did implement it in the most shitty, unoptimized design possible "Just redo every calculation again if they have it!" Comp sci professors would give you an F for that implementation.

[@SlyRocko]

Small clarification: Proc coefficient can go above 1.0, but there aren'tmany sources with that high of a coefficient. For example, Railgunner's special has a 3.0 proc coefficient. This means chance based items like ATG Missle and Ukelele have triple the chance of being activated, and debuffed affected by the coefficient like bleed have triple the duration.

[@jenbooob]

Certain enemy attacks go above 1.0 as well

[@marquess2004]

No wonder all hell breaks loose every time I fire it when looping.

[@tsquitz]

@@marquess2004 it's also helped by the insane damage, making proc chains not only more likely, but stronger

[@RycoonGalloy]

doesn't only cryocharge and supercharge have above 1.0? 1.5 and 3.0 respectively. Surprising diablo strike isn't higher now that I think about it

"Very rare artifact! An ancient ukulele, from the legendary artist born on Mars. It was said that he was a son of a god, gifted with the power of lighting himself. People say that he was the most humble man... and that his music was simply... electric." - Ukulele item log, Risk of Rain 1

[@TheRedarm75]

The most important thing above all these numbers is attack speed 5%/8% is small BUT if you throw out 200 attacks in 5 seconds (=/- proc chains) your gonna get something to happen

This is some grade A content right here. Really glad to see there are more resources being made for players that go beyond the wikipedia. Hope to see more from the site in the future!

[@RdTrler]

The Huntress' Flurry works very funny around damage procs. Items that scale off its base damage calculate that damage off ALL 3 (or 6) arrows, then multiplies this total damage by the combined 2.1x (or 4.2x) proc coefficient. A normal Flurry gives 6.2x damage to item procs, but a crits add a whopping 25.2x scale to item procs. I noticed this around the Shuriken. I don't know if *just* the Shuriken behaves this way, but it sure adds a lot of early-game damage as a Huntress.

[@mrpineapplecc5342]

As someone with 3 hours in the game I understood none of this. Maybe I should come back later lol

[@huynguyenphan4120]

Great video! Note: Rail Gunner's Supercharged Railgun has proc coefficient 3 1:07

[@bbborbo]

A lot of the ways that proc coefficient affects dont make sense in the live game, but they used to make sense. Right now, procs like ATGs which do total damage would be automatically balanced for all attacks, only attacks with lower proc coefficients have lower proc chance for these items, meaning these attacks are simply automatically worse. But once upon a time, these total damage procs used to deal base damage instead, meaning that fast attacks were always better with proc items. Proc coefficient was the mechanic in place to counteract this, it was MEANT to balance the strength of damage-agnostic procs (all of them at the time) between attacks with different hit rates. But now that so many procs are based on total damage, it's pointless and kind of harmful. Hopoo really should give a pass through all the effects, and change damage based procs to not be influenced by proc coefficient. Especiallg with procs that double dip into proc coefficient, like bleed, which are exponentially affected by nonzero proc coefficients.

[@darkin9888]

another small thing Behemoths explosion range is also affected by proc coefficients so Huntress Arrow Rain makes many small explosions but Railgunners special makes a big boom

[@rndThursday]

I say this is why mods are essential to playing Risk of Rain optimally. The BetterHUD mod alone shows proc co-efficients in game, which help a ton.

the "and his music was electric", is a reference to the componist of risk of rain's soundtracks. It had the same item description in the first game, if I'm not mistaken.

[@Gahmeleos]

Very informative video and hopefully it becomes a staple for those learning the game! 200 hours in the game and I know how proc chains actually work

[@stonerkirby]

This video is a great way to explain why you should get 1 Ukulele with most characters.

[@CenturyBlade]

I must be a dingus because I don't understand what this video has to do with buying 1 vs buying multiple. I always thought the reason not to buy more was simply that buying more only increases the number of nearby enemies hit, and clumps of enemies only get so big before you'd just be one-shotting everything anyway even if you had 0 ukes.

[@omegacalvin3383]

Fun fact: proc chains on console risk of rain 2 are more busted because of a double dip bug, what i mean is every single damage increase via items gets reapply through the proc chains....

[@Ang3lUki]

I remember in early access when Runald's/Kjaros were proc chain items. It was so easy to get crazy busted proc chains going back then.

[@TehLiquid]

6:49 yes, it literally always does, literally. It's not a gamble, a clover is a won run, you don't not take one if you have the chance to take one.

[@desuvult15]

Except that's wrong. If you don't have multiple chance-based items (like he said in the video) why bother wasting 5 greens that will probably help you more immediately?

Ok but that guy you showed when you were talking about graphs, he taught me everything I know about math (and math antics)

[@1un4cy]

Keep in mind items with low proc coefficients is mainly because they hit multiple times. A ukulele with 0.2 would be multiplied by however many enemies you hit, though the damage of the chains would be pretty poor on this item, like a 60% damage atg.

[@maverick-_-hunter]

Kudos on the Zeal theme. Also, just a reminder that Better UI shows proc coefficients in game.

[@tarkua1]

Ahhh I loved this, but I couldn't help but be surprised when the video ended. I felt like you were going to reach another conclusion. Still REALLY good video tho, I didnt realize 90% of this stuff.

I’ll keep this in mind when I get 8x fireworks and 6x cautious slugs in my next run.

[@96samcosmo]

5:33 I believe that the nubmers should be 2, 6, and 24 repectively. Consider the instance with 3 items: there are 3 ways that the initial attack can proc (1 for each item). Then for each of those, there are 2 ways that a second item can proc (1 for each item except the first that procced). Finally, there is only 1 item left to proc, so 3 x 2 x 1 is 6.

[@Timothydoggington]

He is also considering the fact that a shorter chain could occur in which case there are 6 additional 2 length chains that could occur for 12 total chains.

[@coopstain1728]

You said @0:55 that we should get the graph for procs out of our head. Then you basically go into a huge algebra discussion and talk so fast as well as throw around tons of numbers. Im still confused lol. I dont think it was described all that well. :/ Just being honest. There has to be a better way to explain how it all works with examples.

OMG THE CULT OF THE LAMB MUSIC IS TOO GOOD

[@copperheadchris2807]

One thing you should add about luck is that the higher the probability of something happening is, the less impact it will have. A 50% proc chance is hit a lot harder then a 75% proc chance.

[@xolotltolox7626]

Incorrect, the farther away something is from 50% the less it will be affected by Clover At 50% your chance with a reroll jumps to 75%, a 25%p increase. At 0% and 100% respectively, you will stay at where you were at, giving you 0%p more chance, at 10% and 90% you jump to 19% and 99% respectively, giving you a 9%p increase in oroc chance

[@crimsonlurker663]

the cult of the lamb music is so wavy

[@mogaming163]

Thought I knew everything, didn’t know duration was effected by proc! Also I think Diablo strike and other mega attacks should be above 1 proc like rail gunner but I think they aren’t because either dlc or the other devs (not hopoo) decided that

wait im confused, how'd you get 12 chains from 3 items if we need to consider uniqueness into it at 5:30? for 3 items i can only think of 6: ABC ACB BAC BCA CAB CBA am i missing something or was that number wrong? Stellar video aside from that, really interesting to learn about some behind-the-scenes logic.

[@gato159]

Because the chain can also be AB, AC, BA, BC, CA and CB. He's also counting the dual chains you get when using those 3 items

[@FernandoRafaelNogueiraReis]

The thing that I didn't know it was the order could be "remixed" and, by consequence, the more procs you have, the better.

5:30 for 3 items the amount of chains should be 6 (3!), similar for 4 items, it should be 24 (4!) Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how he got these numbers

[@solthegamer3769]

Having 3 items doesn't mean the proc chain is gonna include all 3 items. E.g. an ATG into a uke is 1 chain, ATG into uke into murf is another. And then also split proc paths from another proc
