True...

[@whateverppl1229]

if you do 100 damage and your crit damage does 1000% damage +100% crit damage would add 100 damage whereas +10 damage would add +100 damage so at a certain point, adding flat damage becomes better / same as adding crit damage

assuming your crit chance is 100% of course

[@MegaEmmanuel09]

Was it not in the description at the time of the upload? Because it's there now

[@SpeedOfSol]

Actually once you have a ton of crit damage you should start picking up base damage because it is multiplied by the crit, so a 20 damage add on will be 100 with a 500% crit

[@whitetailprince]

kept driving me nuts that he kept grabing upgrades that were % of base damage, and just didnt increase his base damage. like when he had 1k crit damage, he grabs something that increases it by 100% which is 10% more, instead of improving his base damage by 20 points. that ment it could have been a 20k damage increase.

[@minegraiv]

1000% of 20 is 200, not 20 000. But you are right that it would be better to upgrade damage at certain points in the game

[@kennycarter5682]

[@drippykirbo]

Hey Matt! If you like this game I would suggest 20 Minutes Tilll Dawn, which has a similar vibe but more uniqueness with the upgrades and characters

[@christopherg2347]

In Vampire Survivors like, I classify weapons into a few categories. While this game has only 1 weapon, the various upgrades do allow you to develop analogues: - close defense. Those attacks are about dealing with swarms that come too close. In Vampire Survivors the Garlic and Bible, for example. But the way this characters attack speed increases would fit - but it is also more of a boss killer - Siege Breakers. These weapons work best when the screen is full - they break up the enemy sieging your position. For thus build, it would have been the pierce and edge bounce. To a lesser extent explosions - boss killers. Weapons that aim for "the highest health enemy", deal HP% damage, can be aimed by the player - that sort of thing. Targetting System and the ability to increase attack speed would fit - mid-range. Focussed on dealing with medium range enemies. These need the enemy to be softened up by Siegebreakers. And/or only serve to soften the enemy for the close defense. They tend to fall off hard as the game progresses.

[@xarin42]

Holocure is a similar game and is free. It might be worth trying.

[@Alex-vl6yt]

Not sending hate or anything, but please credit Dax on the thumbnail art, he has stated that he redraws the characters for his thumbnails. Please even just put something in the description for him.

[@droe2570]

There sure are a lot of vampire survivor clones.

[@Qardo]

Well, Vampire Survivor kind of was a sleeper hit. It existed as just this one guy's hobby project to play with his friends. Put it on the Steam Store to maybe make a few bucks. Well, takes a few KZbinrs and Twitch Streamers to pick it up. Just start singing its praises. Suddenly, the game is a huge success. And all of it pretty much done by one guy. Who has a day job and the game is just a hobby project. But, he does update it and adds new stuff....FOR FREE...I know it is crazy. So with that. A lot of copycats pop up and try to milk it. And most are just Chinese knockoffs or straight up theft of the original game. And then, there are those that are fun and attempt to be a little different from the game they are copying. Really, it is nothing new. Industries copy each other all the time. One company does X thing and it is good. Other companies copy X thing. Then, another company does Y thing and copycats follow. Then, there is that one company that does Z and other companies copy Z. Yet, Z sucks, but companies STILL copy Z and attempt to make Z the greatest thing. Still, fails.

[@AliceErishech]

This happens basically any time a game is an unexpected hit. Look at Minecraft and Terraria. After their releases, you saw a huge influx of clones.

[@antoinekubler7472]

Nice enrichment of the decor ! Love the teasing with the thread story about who is behind that "accident" that happened to Crazy Jimmy. Missing out some of your former visuals and extra production value, though. Looking forward the next video !

[@fabf77]

To increase the critical chance, there are only 5% and 10% cards (gray and blue). That means when you only have bad card options and one of them is 5% crit, it's like picking a violet, technically. It's my motto in the game "if everything is gray, +5% crit"

[@matthewwalker7027]

[@ZENITH.163]

at a certain point attack speed is way more important than raw damage output you can do 1000 dmg a hit but fire once a second u would still loose but if you did 100 dmg and fire 5 times a second it would be way more effective

[@hockeyhacker97]

26:38.... No that maths is wrong since it is additive and not multiplicative, you are currently at 1300% which means 150% only bring you to 1450% which is a 11% gain not 150% gain... At low crit damage it is way better to take the crit damage because it is way stronger then the damage upgrades but it gets weaker and weaker each time you take it since it is additive, where as damage ups at first start off weaker but then get stronger and stronger as you get more because they are multiplicative instead of additive (I think silver= 10%, blue 15%, purple 20% and gold 25%) ... With those two choices of purple crit damage or blue raw strength at your current stats the purple crit damage only increases your damage by 11.538% where as the blue damage raises your damage by 15%, you get more damage from that blue then you do from that purple. About 1,000% crit damage is when the strength becomes more powerful than the crit damage being at 1300% you are better off taking 1 rank lower raw damage than crit damage.

[@hockeyhacker97]

Examples for grey upgrades of both grey crit damage at 100% 1 grey crit damage = 200% gains grey crit damage at 500% = 20% gains grey crit damage at 1,000% = 10% gains grey crit damage at 2,000% = 5% gains grey raw damage at any damage level = 10% gains Examples for purple upgrades of both purple crit damage at 100% 1 grey crit damage = 250% gains purple crit damage at 500% = 30% gains purple crit damage at 1,000% = 15% gains purple crit damage at 2,000% = 7.5% gains purple raw damage at any damage level = 20% gains

Slow projectiles also affects your own shots.

[@damonnacke3686]

[@Prinny_god]

that dash damage boost is sutch a trap, it only works 10 times after its literaly just "hurt yourself for dashing"

[@lordgenerias]

If you could have focused on expanding the area of effect for the fields, and ignored the field that slowed projectiles, you could have had a longer run. The bigger the field, the longer it takes for the enemies to approach, and they take damage all the while. However, due to your lower base damage, the damage field was actually not that helpful. They had thousands of hit points, and you were probably doing fifty per tick (activation of damage effect, basically). It would have taken forever to actually kill anything. But for a critical build, high base damage is nearly as good as a damage multiplier. Splitting the difference between them would have benefitted both the field and your basic attack. I would advise a build that focuses on attack speed, base damage, critical chance, and bouncing projectiles. Add in a slowing field and more dashes, and you'll have an easier time, I think. Maybe grab the magnet and field expansions for breathing room as well as slowing down enemies from further away, and it would all synergize quite well, I imagine. Add in explosive projectiles, and the frame rate might go right to hell, but you'll have no issues clearing groups per shot.

[@TKainZero]

Great build this time!!! However, start doing higher infamy levels!

[@rjon8857]

Dam seeing a new video with no views feels weird

[@ThorsShadow]

Matt, I don't know, if you're aware, but the artwork used in your thumbnail is a drawing made by KZbinr Dex. He redraws characters for his thumbnail and this is his drawing. As it is his drawing and your editor did no transformative work to the art to alter it in a meaningful way, it probably doesn't fall under fair use. Maybe have a chat with your editor about taking another person's drawings for a thumbnail. I am sure you weren't aware of this, but it's still fucked up and not a thing someone should do to fellow content creators. Should have at least give the guy a shoutout in the pinned comment (if you would have been aware).

[@Tyranzor64]

Stacking crit in this game is insane. Think about it, less than a minute into the video and a 100% crit upgrade means gaining 60 additional damage (assuming 100% crit) Considering damage scaling flattens out later game that's insane scaling

[@thiagobatistazilli9700]

[@fredhawken1112]

and for the love of god learn how to use dash! Like the ninja band upgrade, it is one of the best there is imo, it reduces your dash cooldown 30 percent and damages enemies you dash through. Then combine this for example with the slam upgrade and you get two faster dashes which clear your screen and kills enemies. Good for getting out of a pickle

[@bacccrful]

At some point you started to act as a real Architect. Having ~1000% crit damage, new upgrades were giving less damage, than the simplest base damage upgrades. 150% crit damage does not multiply final damage by 1.5! It adds up to "crit damage", arithmetic progression. Base damage upgrades follow geometric progression rules - so it gets more effective after 800%-1000%.
