The Nexal Staff is the Best Weapon by FAR | Ember Knights v1.5

[@ChristopherRCreech]

Idea for a fun build I enjoyed playing: same idea as your hammer build with combustion stone, but splash in poison with that item that poisons when burned and then infested mind and the item that adds additional stacks of poison. It continued to scale even after the combustion stone damage maxed out, and you can keep scaling with stun powder and items that increase damage to stunned enemies or enemies effected by status ailments. I actually did it with emphasis on skills and skill damage gems because most of the damage isn’t coming from weapon damage and it was fun. But probably a focus on crit chance would make the build hit harder. I think it could even be better on the current patch with the poisoned enemies drop gold item as gold isn’t capped at 999.

I think u should play on higher dooms if ur gonna take 3 relics and a skill at the start. This is jus a pure stomp. I like doing 25 doom minimum

[@_Rapture]

Can you explain for the ember tree why you choose skill dice over the 30% additional perfect skill damage? Is it just for consistency during the run?

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Yeah, It's just more Practical to take 'Skill Dice' over the 'Expertise' Ember Tree Upgrade. 'Skill Dice' is better if your looking for a very specific skill upgrade or upgrades. Otherwise, 'Expertise' is technically better because you're always going to 'Perfect' the Skill.

@@QuirkyTurtle3 Makes sense! Appreciate the reply. My friends and I just recently picked up the game and have been loving it. Your content’s been entertaining and informative! Excited to see more DLC runs.

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

@_Rapture, Love to hear your enjoying Ember Knights and my content. I have lots of content on the way.

[@Cyberplex]

Arcane bolts vs. Chakram? =)

[@MsDolana]

why is praxis staff purple in your nexus? mine just lies on the ground. by the way, thnaks for your videos. i do play with a friend and we are at 80h in the game, did manage to kill praxis on doom. i prefer the sword with chakram and bomb... it's so damn strong once you have enough spell damage and almost no cooldown on cluster bomb :)

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Hello @MsDolana, The Praxis Staff along with the Other Boss Trophies have "Perfect" States. In Order to Unlock the 'Perfect' State for the Any of the Boss Trophies; You have to Beat that Boss Without Taking ANY DMG during the Boss Fight ('Perfect' the Boss Fight).

@@QuirkyTurtle3 thanks for the info! :) I might give it a try in solo

[@wernerfuhry]

Okay hold on, did I miss something? Where, what happened to your second skill when you started the run?

[@professor7457]

Would love a answer to this question too

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

@professor7457 @wernerfuhry, Hold Up, I Didn't Even Realize that 'Quazar Orbs' Got "Deleted". I Don't know What Happened, but I Think When I Turned Off All the Run Modifiers it Bugged and Deleted My Second Skill.

[@wernerfuhry]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 damm, have to try this and see if it happens on my run too

[@KeizerSosebee]

What are some good items I should watch out for with this build

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

You Should Look Out for These Relics: (No Particular Order) Supreme Ambition, Absolute Ambition, Decayed Sceptre, Onyx Raven, Empowered Bangle, Surge Pendant, Chronograph, Harvest Scythe, Brittle Sceptre, Spell in a Bottle (Gilded Remains, but ONLY if you have Decayed Sceptre) If You have Brittle Sceptre; Frostbite, Frost Pact, Chilling Wind That's the Vast Majority of the Relics that Fit into the Build. Good Luck and Have Fun with the Build.

[@KeizerSosebee]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 tysm. I am definitely not as good as you when it comes to dodging so should I go for Bob’s Containment, guard scepter or another relic I’m unfamiliar with

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Yeah, If you have Trouble with Dodging Attacks 'Bob's Containment Field' and 'Barrier Pendant' are Really Strong. Guard Sceptre is Good, but Falls Off Late Game When Enemies Start Dealing 50+ DMG. Once Again, The More You Play the Better You'll Get. For Example I Really Struggled with the A2 Boss when I First Started; Now it's The Easiest Boss for Me to Defeat.

[@KeizerSosebee]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 just beat praxis for the first time. I used guard pendent, wizard fleece, bone plate, stewards toolbox, and surge pendent. The 45 armor that I had kept me nice and healthy and gave me what I thought was decent skill damage, it also trained me how to dodge better so I would keep my damage boost

[@troua2001]

how does one actually roll for relics in the nexus? do u just constantly pay for the reroll until u get your desired relics? or is there a trick

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

Yeah, I Re-Roll Until I Get a Desired Relic. When I Get a Desired Relic I'll Buy it, Then Continue to Re-Roll Until I Find Another Desired Relic and So On. There is 1 Trick; If You Want to Save Some Ember, Whenever You Enter the Nexus the Shop Re-Rolls. You can Go to Main Menu and Re-Enter the Game Until You Find a Relic You Desire. NOTE: You can Only Do This to Get 1 Relic. (Going to the Menu Doesn't Save the Relics in Your Inventory)

[@troua2001]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 thanks man

[@AndreOnlive]

How did you get so high Skill Damage?

[@QuirkyTurtle3]

The Answer is Supreme Ambition. Whenever you Defeat an Enemy with a Skill; Supreme Ambition Increases Your Skill DMG by 1% Permanently. This is the Easiest way to Stacks Tons of Skill DMG.

[@AndreOnlive]

@@QuirkyTurtle3 I got it, thanks
