Managed to beat the game for the first time with this build! (got the ore artifact thing after beating game btw) Now I'm trying my first endless run. I have a lot of trouble with mage and archer runs, please give tips! many thanks in advance...
biggest tip to mana builds (imo) is to always have cleansing wand or regen wand to counter poison and for archer builds is to get massive block and/or a lot of buffs to arrows (my fav setups are bombstone, dumbell, glass bottle, archer's wand for massive bow damage for mana, or shield spirit, stopwatch, hercule pavise x2 or more, and some pretty anklets for MASSIVE block on turns 2+... only tried the first setup as of rn tho)
There's a relic that would cause it to add rage, or the seasoning accessory which gives adjacent consumables +5 healing when used. But on its own it has no use.
you can also use things like the scimitar which gets stronger the more things that're destroyed next to it, and things like chainmail which gives more block the more things that're destroyed next to it. this allows you to scale block and damage at the same time with just spaming log and smoking the herb
It has use for the potion cauldron, as well as any other items that get bonuses on destruction. It's not better than any other consumable that provides benefits like the fish, but it does have use.
You can use the oak wood (herb creation for 1 energy) + potion cauldrons to make potions every turn, and if you face a weak enough enemy you can get infinite potions (with enough armor scaling so you can live). Then you can get the potions that give you items, which can give you golden whetstones, which can get you infinite damage. That being said, not worth the effort. But it's fun to do once.
depends on what item you're using the gold whetstone for lol. If it's something that scales infinitely like the assassins dagger, and you get this combo early enough you can go hundreds of floors with like 10 or more gold whetstones.
mf may be drunk but he still kicks hella ass. Good build, only thing I think could improve dmg wise would be a gem that gives damage for weapons in the column. (I think it's paradot? idk it's a green gem...) Putting it to the left of belt of knives would give you a small boost to the damage of your empty cups, though I don't know what your stats are/were so you were probably well built.
Wait until their coins are exhausted and their shivs are gone. Also, their golden shiv is a good source of gold. If they were to get bombstone, even 60 gold wouldn't kill King, and you would need 75 for Grandmaster. Plus, both of them summon minions. So you would need even more gold.
paradot does +1 poison to adjacent weapons, -1 damage to adjacent weapons, the right gem for increasing damage is diamond (+2 to adjacent and diagonal weapons) or even better, ruby (+4 to adjacent weapons).
shield spirit: shields use adjacent weapons on use BUT give them -1dmg this combat seems bad BUT you add another relic stopwatch: on use weapons get +1dmg this combat
I've got a question. What's the %chance for the fox to just give you the Fox Raiper (is that how you spell it? oh gosh-) when you choose the "I'm a foe!" option? I had it happen once {no screenshots, sorry. Also won't let me post a picture for whatever reason, says something about character limit.} and was wondering if it was like a super extremely mega ultra rare thing.
fixed the question: do respect your mental health enough to endure hours of watching 11 cleavers get repeatedly used until any enemy that stands in your path perishes?
Generally this happens from one of the relics, such as the weight, mouse wood, or bottle. Each one has a different restriction that it places on certain items. If you hover over them, they will tell you on the top if they're disabled.
One visual glitch which I think is pretty weird. For some reason when I spin the wheel then if I spam click the spin button then it says I have a free spin but it takes away 3 coins from me. The same is with money. When I spam click the 3 coin to spin button then I get to spin the wheel but it shows the price is still 3 but when I clicked the spin button it instead took 6 coins from me.
Bug where after continuing in endless, consuming a rage fish removed all arrows. Also very frustrating when kicking over a mushroom on a spike run - no enemies attack and they heal 40+ every round - had to quit game due to endless stall.
hey the game is great but I would like to report a bug, it's very small actually. but I bring two vitality rings and when I continue the game I have to remove them from the backpack and put them back to activate if I don't it doesn't work and good luck with that design.
for starts, make sure you press "M" to talk to matt on the start screen to get a starting bonus. Try to save room for energy replenishing food and don't underestimate seasoning as a means of healing! you can beat first pass with that alone ^^
Best tip I could give you is that you have to make sure you have a key in the crypt finale boss room and open the locked door after killing the boss. It will help you skip deep cave and let you go to enchanted swamp. I hope this message helps.
(after you open the door go to the exit behind the open door.)
Enchanted swamp is veeeeeery veeery bad against thorns builds and sustain builds. In my 200+ floor I went there once and almost killed my run, because the boss was hit by a single hit of my multi hit chain, while he summons 3 minions every turn.
IMPOSSIBLE to deal with with many many builds, other path is much more straight forward in general.
Just try around with items and see if you might just overlook a good common item. The strenght of an item does not just come from raw stats, but also the space they are using. For example, the club is extremely good since it has -1 weakness against multihits, does same damage as wooden sword and frees one space.
Consumes are also great just to make the floors easier. 12 dmg to all, 6 poison, all the extra turns. This makes it possible to easily farm the floor usually to get a better powerspike for the next floor.
Reorganizing regulary for optimise item synergies and taking temporary items like machete, even if you throw it away next round, can greatly change how well you are doing, especially early game.
Ethereal bomb bow: not as strong as i was hoping, but i'm glad i got it to work. For the amount of time and clicking, i think the ethereal arrows need some love.
You probably didn't see it. If a battle ends and you get your items, there will also be gold and manacrystals next to your inventory that you can drag in. Once you got gold in your backpack, it will collect it automatically.
This is a screenshot from floor 279.. I think.. since I hit floor 200, the last number is merged with the text.
This is my most fun build so far, tho at this point, it takes around a minute until a single turn is over(even if the enemy is long dead) because of over hundred cleaver hits with a single click on my shield.
The true MVP of this build is ducktape blade of knifes which makes this damage so insane. Every shield triggers every shield while every shield triggers every cleaver and every cleaver triggeres every cleaver. Ducktape puts them all on the same queue and removes the limit of points of contact, making even 3 cleaver on a ducktape more effective than 4 cleaver. With every activation, every cleaver next to the same line of ducktape will get a stack, which leads to 462 extra damage on every cleaver. This will consist for every turn and will ramp up to insane damage for every turn.
With only 3 shields, the - damage of the relic is pretty much neglegable, but one of my shields has 14 haste and easily cover the armor in a single turn. Especially with no fight actually getting to round to. The beauty about this combination is the cost of only 1 energy to use a set of cleavers instead of the usual 1. Even in an early setup, this is a suuuper powerful setup if you
The current hit 151.302 damage. The damage could be optimised by putting my best cleaver with 8 whetstones in another position to manipulate the queue and hit on the highest points of damage. I also want to replace the chefs hats with more cleavers and ducktape to further increase the ramp of the combo. It would also be optimal to pick blue cleaver on the bottom of ducktapes, since they do 1 damage more and their postiioning doesn't matter with ducktape.
I currently don't see an end to this run, since only 2 bosses currently even survive one attack. The HP scaling is rather low to the current powerlevel and even with normal mobs having 400 damage a turn, the armor and hp pool can easily survive an onslaught even if I won't kill an enemy for a turn and the single vampirsm easily heals back the damage that might get through. I will try to go further and want to see how far this goes, but even with fasters animation speed and killing every regular enemy in one hit, every fight can take 2-4 minutes.
I wish I found this game early. Sadly I missed the kickstarter and the chance to get into the discord :( Great game and potential. Just hope that they will introduce more options for more defensive builds, because only damage can really go through the whole game without luck.
You would need the relic that activates weapons adjacent to weapons. I posted a screenshot for that in this comments, but it would make defense and offense at the same and make the cleaver cost just 1. The negative effect can be easily avoided with cleaver.
But unless you are able to kill both of the front guys, you will probably die. You would need something like the stone that adds weakness to your weapon to deal with your setup and reduce their damage by a lot.
So I did a quick rework of your setup without considering your entire inventory. I just took the cleavers you had and moved them to be more efficient.
You start with the Jack cleaver left of the diamond and that creates a chain that makes them all trigger! if you get a king cleaver the setup should change widely though.
~I forgot two more normal cleavers diagonal from the top queen Edit: grammar
I can not get the game to update I am still on the version before everyone else my only benefit is thatI still have the stacking items glitch and thats starting to become boring please help.
Not sure what I could have done more with this build against the big rat boss ( spikes ) are you forced to get high damage weapons / defence? So the full whetstone / hatchet build really is not viable? EDIT : just realised I should have stacked the damages without attacking, resisting with the defence I get every turn ... F

AYO WHAT , THIS is My BEST start yet
archangel armor from matthew is busted
I just wantesd to know... 999 SHD is MAX! And i reached Floor 16 first time, with this build and died because of poison...
I present you the shield hero build. Got to floor 18 with this

thank you so much!
is it just me or does a herb has no use
There's a relic that would cause it to add rage, or the seasoning accessory which gives adjacent consumables +5 healing when used. But on its own it has no use.
3 seasonings + sandwich relic = OP herb (45hp healing I believe? lol)
you can also use things like the scimitar which gets stronger the more things that're destroyed next to it, and things like chainmail which gives more block the more things that're destroyed next to it. this allows you to scale block and damage at the same time with just spaming log and smoking the herb

That being said, you just need a boss that only attacks once (the rooster does this) and the ninja suit to pull this off really.
I'm really bummed I missed out on the Kickstarter for this!! Is there any way you guys would be willing to go for, like, $15 on steam early access??
Floor 100 : I see no end to this build (approximately 90 000 damage turn 1 ) just gotta find more Crowns/Curse to go even further beyond !
Sharing to inspire community :)
how is the lag with it?
I get massive lag with cleaver or mana builds after about floor 13
I would argue you have one of the best arrows!
Beat the game as a bartender, only item I was missing was a piggy bank
mf may be drunk but he still kicks hella ass.
Good build, only thing I think could improve dmg wise would be a gem that gives damage for weapons in the column. (I think it's paradot? idk it's a green gem...) Putting it to the left of belt of knives would give you a small boost to the damage of your empty cups, though I don't know what your stats are/were so you were probably well built.
He needs the bomb relic to make this exceptional.
Why would you want bombstone? It would literally do nothing and probably make them lose because it would destroy their weapons.
Their beer would become a legitimate weapon.
Wait until their coins are exhausted and their shivs are gone. Also, their golden shiv is a good source of gold. If they were to get bombstone, even 60 gold wouldn't kill King, and you would need 75 for Grandmaster. Plus, both of them summon minions. So you would need even more gold.
paradot does +1 poison to adjacent weapons, -1 damage to adjacent weapons, the right gem for increasing damage is diamond (+2 to adjacent and diagonal weapons) or even better, ruby (+4 to adjacent weapons).
I think he means the emerald gem.
BTW- Thank you for making the Sage Toads cowardly!
stupid question but how do you use the arrows without a bow?
shield spirit: shields use adjacent weapons on use BUT give them -1dmg this combat
seems bad BUT you add another relic
stopwatch: on use weapons get +1dmg this combat
very good way to block and kill at the same time
Run died I think on somewhere between floor 16-18, forgot
I've got a question. What's the %chance for the fox to just give you the Fox Raiper (is that how you spell it? oh gosh-) when you choose the "I'm a foe!" option? I had it happen once {no screenshots, sorry. Also won't let me post a picture for whatever reason, says something about character limit.} and was wondering if it was like a super extremely mega ultra rare thing.
it happened to me twice when i just wanted the exp so not very
I am pretty sure you have to have cleared everything else on that map for him to give it to you, as I have only gotten it after I had done that
beat thegame w this
Same, I didn't even know there was a kickstarter until the day after it ended and I am bummed I missed it.
Is there any chance that those of us who missed the Kickstarter might be able to purchase an Early Access steam key?
Same question, I'd be ready to pay extra if thats what it takes tbh
really fun run, but no candle and no rags all game :(
Should I stop here?
fixed the question: do respect your mental health enough to endure hours of watching 11 cleavers get repeatedly used until any enemy that stands in your path perishes?
Is the cleansing wand broken now? Tried it several times against a blademaster (7 spikes, 3 regen) and it did nothing.
Sadly killed again by poisen...27 every second round is to op in my opinion :p
Also not really lucky with Cleaver drops :(
But always fun to play this gem of a game :)
Why is it that when I attack the animation happens but no damage happens? Is it a bug or something.
If you're an archer and your arrows are disabled, this can happen.
How do i undisable them?
Generally this happens from one of the relics, such as the weight, mouse wood, or bottle. Each one has a different restriction that it places on certain items. If you hover over them, they will tell you on the top if they're disabled.

Don't really get how spikes killed me when I'm using magic, but whateva
This is because of a Robot Toy
It happened to me too
First time beating the game, that's as far as I got :P Couldn't get past the snake though, that poison damage is crazy
I'm enjoying this game way more than I thought I would, the concept is great and I can only see it getting better from here.
Looking forward to finding the perfect inventory setup :)
Bug where after continuing in endless, consuming a rage fish removed all arrows. Also very frustrating when kicking over a mushroom on a spike run - no enemies attack and they heal 40+ every round - had to quit game due to endless stall.
it's purposeful to get you to get the full game :lennyface: haha
f'real though, they aren't caring about this build anymore since they are working on the steam release/beta builds
Does anyone have any tips because I'm so bad I can't make it past Deep Cave :(
for starts, make sure you press "M" to talk to matt on the start screen to get a starting bonus. Try to save room for energy replenishing food and don't underestimate seasoning as a means of healing! you can beat first pass with that alone ^^

This Ridiculous Wooden Sword Build Destroyed Backpack Hero Endless Mode!
Purse!
420 lol , im still going
they should really make this boss able to attack, when there are full enemy's, i am stuck only using scratch every turn...
How do you get gold though? Haven't seen it drop from anything.
You probably didn't see it. If a battle ends and you get your items, there will also be gold and manacrystals next to your inventory that you can drag in. Once you got gold in your backpack, it will collect it automatically.
you can sell items to the merchant

Any one know why my game keeps freezing and the only way to get it running angin is if I reload the page? Im on a ipad btw
any tips on making this better? i need to pass and i don't want to scrap the run. the shield has 1 haste
I recomend duct tape and chef's hat if you can get it and generaly more shielding for king's fight
sorry i misunderstood the question, I don't think you can save this
You would need the relic that activates weapons adjacent to weapons. I posted a screenshot for that in this comments, but it would make defense and offense at the same and make the cleaver cost just 1. The negative effect can be easily avoided with cleaver.

If you just refresh the page you should be good!
This hasn't worked at all.
