[@aggammer3485]

24:15 actually all % effects get both stats increased with each upgrade, so if at level 1 its 15% to apply 25 burn, and level 5 its 75% to apply 125 burn

[@Arckaseth]

I hope you noticed how much value that Wise ability gave your run. That +12% XP increase let you level up so much faster. It hurt when you skipped the uncommon one.

[@plectro3332]

For uncommon Wise, you actually need to get 25 level-ups after picking it up, for it to give you an extra level. Doesn't seem worth it imo

[@iteststuff3854]

@@plectro3332 you are correct. Guy above is wrong. Exp has exponential curve in required exp to level. Wise is worth banishing

[@silvana2727]

If you break the resource nodes, the healing ones included respawn shortly after with a new set of different ones. You also get more resources the further into the wave of Alexi's so you can net ~250+ basic nodes and ~4+ of the rare.

[@AinS_Sama]

This fire run is so insane! Can’t wait for the full version to be out! Love your videos as always!😊

[@speckbacon9881]

My best time to beat it is 10:22 the trick is cooldown stacking till you reach around 90% with Bloodrage, The devs did the terrible mistake of making it so a 100% cooldown reduction would lead to no cooldown at all. Also stand in the corner of the arena so you get mobs spawning at the border to instantly die.

[@luka188]

The devs have changed this in the newest Alpha update (not yet on steam), where cooldown reduction has been changed with a linear scaling attack speed, same as in Path of Exile (+10% is +10% or 1.1 speed, and +100% is +100% or 2.0 speed, while 150% would be 2.5 speed, unlike the formula before, where 90% Cooldown reduction would be 10x speed. At the same time the devs changed Bloodlust to no longer have it affect it's own cooldown, and buffed corresponding attack speed increases from the previous numbers that Cooldown had to further balance this. The game feels a lot better with this implementation, even though the late game power is not as ridiculous (No more infinite Bloodlust stacking and 0 cooldown spells hitting 100 times a second and frying your pc).

[@ZekwaldIX]

I managed to do that earlier today, stacking a lot of cooldown with bloodrage and then I got the upgrade that buffs bloodrage's potency and suddenly 99% cooldown every buff and skill, except bloodrage, was constantly refreshing and bloodrage had a shorter cooldown than it's duration

[@AlejandroMeri]

@@luka188 It's changed on Steam too 😭

[@luka188]

@@AlejandroMeri Good, it's better this way

[@ryanlee7671]

@Sifd the straight damage buff gives diminishing returns, specific skill or category buffs give exponential returns for a quick heads up, tested that out yesterday.

[@tomthecasual5337]

15:50 that extra level that you got there, might have increased the area of effect, which is not displayed in the stats. it seems that most aoe spells alternate between more damage and increased aoe on lvl up.

[@jakeshaffner9432]

Loving these videos Sifd, always quality content! I’m excited for you to get the warriors second weapon, it’s by far my favorite character/weapon to play with. My strongest build yet I got lucky and picked up the Crits apply bleed and bleeds apply poison. After that pick up Subdue, Thrust and alll of the poison spells you can find. Incredibly fun, insanely powerful and would love to see you try it. The icing on the cake would be if you’re lucky enough to get expose weakness again. Thanks again for the content and much love

[@duncanjala]

I've found one of the strongest sets of spells for this character is Meteor Shower, Meteor, Poison Bomb, Poison Bolt, Fire Bolt. There are a lot of overlapping descriptors in that so whenever you roll an upgrade to a type it affects at least 2 and you can get a lot being affected as well.

[@duncanjala]

Well except channeled but that ones just annoying

[@icthulu]

Died a little inside when you skipped Vicious Strike. That 100% crit on first hit is how you clear the field of the small fries so you can focus on the boss. Also, I did your meme run on my own, arrows only with buffs is obscenely OP. I was putting so many DoT's on Alexi that it dies in a second. I think you need to try it again now that you know the game better.

[@JediMage]

Those Devs have soulstone rogue, try that game as well, it looks really similar, and even have similar skills, but gameplay is vastly different

[@Jacob-pj5rk]

thats what we were all waiting for! dont you worry we watch all the runs :D memes are fun aswell btw. im kinda new to your channel but i absolutely love it :)

[@iguin97]

this game has soo much potencial , its gonna be lit.

[@cupidzsnakes6865]

It hurts to know views might be going down but it’s good to know you are enjoying enough to keep playing hope ur channel keeps growing too

[@atom3355]

Hi! found you recetly trough Vampire surviors! your vids are best to fall asleep to... (dont take it badly its good) :D keep it up ^^

[@hegmonster]

Thanks for introducing me to this game!

[@lamprey6663]

If you haven’t, once you have triple dash run into one of the bomb minions and then use all three dashes, its so much fun

[@denseivex8455]

Another day another slay! Love it!!

[@xxxtefennixxx]

This was insane, hope to see more of this game and i hope they add more features

[@SpopySpider]

Local wizard cant's stop himself from casting fireball

[@fariswee7538]

Love your videos! If you stack cool down reduction till bloodlust overlaps itself, all your skills will start to go crazy. I had a full fire build like yours but all of the skills are at 0.3 sec cool down

[@mmplayer88]

I did a run last night with the upgraded axe and it was insane, melted every alexi in a few seconds. I can’t wait for this full game.

[@mistretul999]

Just got the chance to hit the Like button and get it to 1K! I like your vids! Keep up the great work! :D

[@vladwarspear2093]

Insane run and game I really hope you saw how op the exp buff was! (especially early game) Can't wait for the next run

[@binnieb173]

I feel like this game has a chance to be truly good. I want the world to have challenges in it, places to go, bosses to beat where you get treasures... maybe quests? Like this could be a really good fun game with stuff do to where your pathing works.

[@jessedickens97]

So satisfying to watch. Total carnage!!!

[@Decipher_Shiyo-ZUMI]

i like how the ogres just casually moving towards you slowly then alot of spells just instantly popped below/above/towards him hahaha.

[@AlejandroMeri]

3:39 Yeah, Blood Lust has become a staple of my builds as well, even thought cd reduction was changed/nerfed like 4 hours ago!

[@thetaikasaapas6318]

I had a super lucky run with subdue (gives 20% fragile debuff) and got multiple double cast perks which meant that it fired 4 times, giving everyone 80% more damage taken. I was playing with the sentinel so the damage was astronomical.

[@dennisviehl]

OMG When I'm finally home from my vacation I have to install this game.

[@jarul1234]

Yo Sifd, ty for introducing me to this game, i have so much fun playing it. I have a build suggestion for you to try - summon skeletons with buffs and cooldown reduction. Hard as hell, i couldnt manage it to work, maybe u can 😁

[@beaniiman]

Insane. The first hit crit thing too was good with your build cause it guarantees you get the debuff on the crit. At that point you pretty much always crit though, so its good to get rid of it right away.

[@FinalStooge]

Dropped a like because I don't remember you complaining about the exp on the ground at all!

[@KiwiTiddles]

With you talking about the skills and how high they can go, I just finished a run after avoiding the last alexi for as long as I dared, I got shadow bolt up to level 11. I was level 68 when I ended it. so there doesn't seem to be a skill cap aterallmy shadow bolt was causing 8945 damage of doom after 5 seconds, so needly to say it was fairly powerful. 4.6 cooldown and I think I was double casing it as well.

[@nagoyakuroi6353]

Fiery Missiles are exploding projectiles so is same as meteor or thunder based on how much "mass" the enemy have it make them fly away some skill do knockback some explode and so on if you wanna truly see how broken they are you can stay in one corner with really low cooldown and larger area with double cast etc no enemy can come near you and with a lot of fire stack it burn them super quick :D This game has a lot of super interesting mechanics I just wish they had put endless mode on this demo since at half way it become trivial finish the run so you can't really push any build to the limit . P.S. Nothing happen to skill past level 10 it just get stronger ( once again I wish for endless mode to have some extra chance to push a skill to it's limit i only manage to get thunder clap at 13 with a whooping 25k+ crit with double cast etc alexi n5 died in 5 seconds )

[@kazuya3821]

Thrust is actually one of the best skills in the game if you're going a melee build. I was lucky enough to get double cast twice early on in my run and was completely shredding enemies. Even the final level Alexi only took 10 seconds to kill.

[@someonenamedsean91]

Can't wait for the full release of this game it seems rad!

[@gonzalotoscano3310]

Also been playing this game and fire mage was the strongest I made too, think I finished the 3rd level in 11 minutes and 30 seconds or something like that. Game super fun, hope the full version actually gets better and newer stuff. Btw exp gain from the level ups or the skill tree doesn't change anything, you end up every run between 49 and 52 regardless of the exp buffs you get.

[@quazar1sumtin849]

🔥TRUST ME🔥 Mace Warrior all slash physical attacks is OP in this game. Killed Last Boss in 30 seconds 🤗 edit: with bloodlust and double attack modifier

[@XxIcedecknightxX]

Arcane weaver is just better with +15% more increased cooldown over warrior. Killed the last boss in 3-4 seconds with him.

[@displacegamer1379]

@sifd, when you increase the "Area of Effect" for projectils what it does, makes them shoot farther away. FYI

[@slyfoxkgar]

loving this game. keep streaming

[@johnhobbes2268]

I think the best way of implementing xp increase skills and diminished lvl progession is giving a -2%xp gain per level. So your max lvl will be 50 unless you take up +%xp. So whenever you take +4% xp you waste your current progession, but you slightly increase your progession pace and your max lvl.

[@duncanjala]

Hey Sifd you can only get double cast for targeting type. Ex projectile, area, instant, ranged. You can't get it for damage types those only roll damage increase and area increases

[@duncanjala]

I believe they have since changed this

[@AsenGeorgiev]

This run was definitely much better than yesterday's

[@senioy]

dropped a like and a comment :P And this game is absurdly awesome - do u have more like it? Maybe complete?

[@fadbamsen321]

i had a crazy run with the melee guy and he was abselutely murdering everything with all the melee skills and killed the last lord in 17.40 run time

[@BlackjackMain]

This game is fun to watch, and it looks fun to play, it's meta progression feels really smooth and natural,

[@Jukebox3333]

My fire run went way different to yours. I stacked spontaneous combustion and fire shield like mad. When Alexi appeared, just waited for fire shield and run through him for over 200 stacks of burn. Was fun af. Was sad I didn't get the double cast on it. Gg's.

[@brilliansandi5464]

Can't wait for ur next vid

[@Sol-ph4xc]

You sir, are awesome.

[@skywalker00700]

before the 1st 10 levels any of the uncommon exp+ skills are worth it 100%, can really tell the difference late game, i usually stop at 50% bonus around level 20 if i can manage it, after 20 i dont bother with exp gains

[@devildestroyer92]

one of my best run was with the spellbreaker (melee guy) with the improved weapon and with all the melee abilities, there is one that deals more damage the more bleed stacks on enemy

[@rekrn12345]

Fire appears to be the only fully fleshed out build right now. A lot of skills seem like they only have 1 type. Like smite is the only holy skill and black hole is the only void skill.

[@biax6642]

This game looks crazy

[@DylanBrams]

My best time for all five bosses so far is 12:30 or so. They actually nerfed fire last night; the common burn skill was 15% chance.

[@Flippirino]

Can't wait for the Poison run Also hoping for a Holy and or Dark run at sone point, it intrigues me, some of the abilities

[@Lokomotivo]

Try a bleed build with the melee character next. it can get crazy good. Nice run!

[@cheeks684]

Ended up trying to do a similar build, managed to get Fire Pillar to lvl 11 and finished in 13:35. Hopefully on release levels in the ability do something.

[@benwallis7429]

tbh in the demo version of the game in its current state, you can completely skip any for of dmg reduction and movement speed. You get enough of that through talent tree. Hoping they soon add a hard mode with double boss spawns. Also like others have said if there is not a lot of great upgrades then exp gain is actually pretty damn good. doing 13-15 min runs abd getting to level 50 plus.

[@ArtemKraken]

Might as well throw this here too...

[@cheeks684]

I wasn't a big fan of fire pillar when trying to do a similar build. Just didn't seem like it was doing a whole lot. I ended up taking fire wall over fire pillar. Having a wall that just sat there and enemies would walk through seemed more consistent then a single pillar.

[@henrynguyen4084]

Nice

[@NicholasStoffel11B]

Whelllp now I need this game

[@CrypticRite]

I liked that part where there were numbers on the screen.

[@tomashamacek4384]

OUR FIRE MISSILES WILL BLOCK OUT THE SUN

[@japemd1ff152]

Fire :)

[@rekrn12345]

Vicious strikes is great. 100% CRIT on first hit

[@Manawolfman]

If the game is gonna lag due to XP crystal overload, they really need to adding in a super magnet drop like Vampire Surivors has.

[@shadowcrushers]

imagine if they made a endless run mode it could be nice actually

[@elPominator]

I tried a version of your all buffs run earlier today, had a much better time with it, but I definitely think you are sleeping on the vicious strike ability (100% to crit on full health) if you have ever played Risk of Rain (1 or 2) it is the same ability as the crowbar in that game, fantastic for opening up enemies approaching you for massive debuffs right from the start of combat with them. This seems to have a similar value when you stack bleed on crit, doom on crit, stun on crit and others, very good for clearing the board when you are pushing through an area and trying to break contact with the boss by carving through trash mobs.

[@CowCommando]

Agreed, he picked up the skill that adds on crit you have a 100% chance to apply the debuff that doubles the effect of other debuffs (iirc), centered a build around the burn debuff, and then ignored the ability to auto crit full health enemies. It was sad to see how much better this could have gone.

[@alfav_]

And imagine, that cool game is gonna be multiplayer after release ( because why do we need skills that heal allies, if there is no allies :D )

[@exiledtobronze8694]

@Sifd do you know anything about the planned release for the game? (i don't expect you to but if you do)

[@donnie2609]

I got the best run so far today it was the mage, with weapon upgrade. I focused on passives: the chance on hit to apply doom, chance on hit to apply slow, and chance on slow to apply damage increase. 12:44. it was so epic. for weapons i got all the bolt projectiles and the aoe thunder thing. but those didnt really matter firey missile did 12 mil damage at the end XD

[@donnie2609]

Doom proc is officially the most OP stat. XD sub 13 min runs on all classes and its common.

[@WanderingDad]

I feel like taking Vicious Strikes the first time I see it just so I don't ever have to look at it again. edit: the dozen times it seems to pop up block choices I could have made also. edit edit: but in this playthrough, with your build, it would have triggered wounded(?) on the first hit of every enemy

[@krigi.7339]

I had my best runs with taking all the bolts and buffing them, try that, it’s ab ez win

[@Tharoffnik.]

100% crit on full hp is insanely broken, try it out. also meteor shower is sick!

[@merephet3377]

My first fire build everything was exploding all the time, the other fire build i did today it was lots of AoE, my fire wall was bigger then the boss line charge attack.

[@JakobStrasser]

Did a fire build, got to lvl 9 meteor. Destroys everything. 150 burn instances on a boss.

[@realpoot7723]

this is what you call a man of honor, he was the true first and didnt care, this is the hero we need but dont deserve

[@TheInvisDragon]

I just found that there's another game that's called Rogue Soulstone, maybe you could check it out.

[@Josue-dg4vt]

This game looks really good. Reminds me of Diablo.

[@lutanaksaharani941]

Yo trust me go for bleed setup with wound (Melee) 3 sec to kill boss

[@hunszaszist]

This was actually a sub 20 minute run, since you ran around for like two minutes farming currency at the end - p. good!

[@tristanwegner]

this is the visually most cluttered vampire survivor game I have seen. With all the numbers and effects, it is often impossible to see if the enemies are even still there.

[@raumthecrow1918]

you should play into the breach

[@luxaly9510]

burn seems unterwhelming tho its just a dot... fire need some sort of skill all if a burning enemy dies it explodes doing the remaining dmg to enemy arround :D so u basically can see some chain reactions of explosions :D

[@BaoCypher0912]

I watch all your video but the after the last one I was like "if he uploads another boring run 1 hour like this one again ima stop watching" but I really enjoy your video

[@denzy3929]

Cooldown is indeed the best thing in the game but seeing you take a white upgrade over a blue one kinda pains me

[@andreykovachev7002]

WHen is the full game coming out? i already played all i can play and upgraded everything i can...

[@joshwescott9809]

So why does my character get slower as I gain skills and passives? How do I counter this?

[@pevtti9789]

this game is amazing even in beta but for me when im in run 20 in i only have 5-20 fps max and freezes

[@Shane-zq7bx]

Doom is the most broken ability in the game. I had an 11 minute clear. With mage ignis. 4 doom bolts. Each doing 8000dmg. Getting double by weakness. 64k dmg stacking every shot.

[@drakorise]

Why you bully poor Alexei... dude's going to have PTSD after this.

[@JCarrnage911]

For the algorithm :)

[@displacegamer1379]

@sifd I did a 45 minute run where I get a skill to level 10. Nothing happens.

[@PoisonSkyttlez]

0.2 is the lowest cooldown you can get in the game

[@zusukoriotomo]

Eyjafjalla:S3 Volcano

[@skywalker00700]

with the melee run I won in 16min

[@travisthompson1679]

This game is pretty cool so far, but I don't think these types of games should slow down as time goes. Gaining levels less often just doesn't feel good. Either make it increase or stay the same.

[@Fogolol]

kinda wanna see more holocure but i'm not sure theres enough content for a vid right now...

[@livedandletdie]

Can't wait until they release a more feature complete version, because out of all the magic survival's clones, this is the one that seems the most like a real game. The others are just boring, both visually, or in the case of Vampire Survivors sometimes painful to watch... Like Mannajja or Phieraggi.
