    My favorite way to think about the games structure is like other roguelikes. Each ante is a floor. Each blind is an encounter. You do encounters to get money and access the shop. You can skip encounters to get a bonus instead. Boss encounters cannot be skipped though, so you need to prepare for each boss encounter. After each boss, you advance to the next floor, and numbers for all the encounters go up. Beat the floor 8 boss to win a run.

    Hey again Brickster, hope this message finds you well! It’s me again, the *Gunfire Reborn* shill back to give you another build to try when you finally decide to give this masterpiece the time it so rightfully deserves.
    A good one for beginners is the _Crown Prince_ frame build. Reason it’s called that is due to it being required in order to unlock the unique frame for the character. The way to do it is to make sure you take skills which increase your primary ability power, which is to freeze enemies in place. If you simply take *_Energy Storage + Power source_* then you will find yourself freezing enemies from up to ten seconds+, although that only occurs if you cast it again on them once they stop being frozen.
    If you combine this however with a high fire rate gun such as the corrosive + fire shooting lizard then it means free headshot damage and burn/corrosion for all who will meet their untimely demise at your hands.
    Nice to see your doing good, see you again next video!

    Usually I'm upset at not getting something. it's nice to know why things work or people like them
    I think this time I should take comfort in it. I don't have time for another addiction...
