Flamethrower provides a use for many items which aren't otherwise useful for Artificer, like Soldier's Syringe and Tri-Tip Dagger. These can bolster its already impressive damage and even allow a more traditional playstyle based around on-hit items...
*Overloading Toxic Beast* -Mother of Many- "Yo, I heard you hated contact damage, so I put some contact damage in your contact damage so you get hit with contact damage while you get hit with contact damage"
Losing Flamethrower will forfeit a huge protion of Artificer's damage and almost all of her procs. Backup Magazines and skillful use of Snapfreeze will become even more necessary than usual to recover some of the lost damage. Gathering item with on-kil effects, such as Gasoline and Will-o'-the-wisp, also helps.
Totally forgot about the mirror+primary thing being new, I've used it with her a few times since the patch and it feels so good throwing 8 of those things at once. The change fixed my biggest issue with Arti, still think her alts could use a little bit but I think she feels good now
haha you highlighted my chat about the extra mobility ability.. i personally feels artificer is more fun to play with the jumping around and the stun it provides makes the flame chakrams usable
i remember trying arti before the update and she didn't really feel that good, mainly because her chakrams, now whether it was just a skill issue or something with the game is up to debate but re-trying her now, she felt way better so good job mr hopoo :)
My favorite thing about the pocket sun ability is it stacks with attack speed and procs everything better than her primary.. and if you're able to upgrade it with a certain Red Item you get two blue suns spawned at once! nasty
A little late for a reply but I found using her other abilities in con junction makes sun movement way more technical and fun. @doggo7175 For example, you can summon the sun and then start charging a nano to nearly independently control the sun while arti stays almost completely still. Same with horizontal movement on ropes. Her primary is also an easy, free way to let the sun move ahead of you while you slow yourself down.
i actually think those cremators are really unballacend. i mean, in the place that they spawned. its horrible to fight. is not that they are a hard fight, is just their area feels a little to bs to me. if you had got a overloading onde, i think your run would be over. and just because they spawned in that area
@@RacesVideos I mean you beat the run, so clearly it's not the end-all but there's definitely an ideal pace. Not that I blame you at all, three Cremators is a nightmare, had a similar roadblock once with an Overloading Lynx Totem back before the Overloading nerf. Just feels bad being stuck on something for so long.
I know people love Ror2 but to me this is the far superior game. They also say rorr is way harder than ror2 but I find it the other way around. Maybe it's just because I played ror1 so much back in the day.
Taking Ion Surge exchanges Flamethrower for a versatile mobility option, which can be used for looting, scouting, and escaping deadly situations. It's particularly effective against the Mithrix.png final boss , which struggles to hit Artificer while she's in the air. While taking Ion Surge does lower Artificer's damage somewhat, this can be offset through good use of her secondary and by prioritizing items which synergize with her burst damage playstyle. Even with Ion Surge and ENV Suit, it's generally best to spend most of combat on the ground. While grounded, you have more flexible movement options, can take advantage of cover, and can hit your attacks more easily. It's usually best to save Ion Surge as an escape option when you feel threatened, then quickly return to the ground to continue the fight from a better position.
Basically people were using the i frames of miner’s default secondary to dodge the self damage from his alt utility, getting free scorching with no penalty
@@unownnn She has like 1 good ability. Haven't tried the primary change, hopefully that made it better. Both of her secondary abilities feel shit to use, I hate them.
@@AuthorityCatyeah like they could definitely buff the size or charge speed or something because I feel like her only damage source is the flamethrower
Haven't unlocked it but from what I've seen it dies before firing pretty easily, great damage though and stacks incredibly well with healing and defense stuff like scarf, leech seed, scythe, cape, umbrella, etc
I mean yeah, miner was insane.... with the burnout combo. Without it it's *awfuuul*. The scirching mechanic is just too hard to keep up with not enough payoff. It's so lame

ft haters when rorr makes it the best skill in artis kit
also her primary hits many times per use
@@stfubtw1337 wow thats crazy who would have thought a totally different game would have a different meta 💀💀
why would soldiers syringe help with flamethrower, does it increase damage ticks?
lol i love the obscure wiki reference

They could make Localized Sun more viable if they JUST LET HER CHAKRAMS HAVE A PROC COEFFICIENT FOR ITS SECONDARY HITS DEAR GOD HOLY

2:16 oh hey
I find it funny that the devs originally fumbled Artificer so damn badly that even they said that she wasn't viable
My biggest issue with ROR returns is how easy providence is considering how unforgiving it is to get to the boss
Artificer and Amethyst are a busyed combo, that's been my go-to
haha you highlighted my chat about the extra mobility ability.. i personally feels artificer is more fun to play with the jumping around and the stun it provides makes the flame chakrams usable

I haven't been able to use it successfully it just feels so off when it's attached to movement
Any tips since you seem to be doing well with it
@@doggo7175same, like especially if you’re trying to get a bunch of hits on a boss especially the last hit and you end up just walking into the boss

Good music taste on that Providence fight
why cant there be an option to control the sun with ur cursor
Would love to see you do Arti on Judgement, to me, feels like the most difficult one out of the whole crew
Imagine if artificer had some sort of movement ability, but that'd be to broken wouldn't it

Recently unlocked arti and it’s very addicting
Where do you find the art of the survivors chilling on the ground???
Im loving the game but im so bad at it! Id love to see some guides on survival or just other tips. Keep up the great content, man :)
i would love to see how you would do in a bubble acrid run specifically
holy fuck providence attack lines up with the necrodancer music
Still in the magma barracks at 30 minutes, fucking ooooooooooof
just like ror2, time isnt as important as you think :)

just for context i currently have an 11 winstreak on monsoon i think i got my rhythm to be okay lol
@@RacesVideos I mean sure, if you're winning you're winning but if I have the choice to be out of Magma Barracks at 15 minutes or 30 I'm picking 15
ok :)
Are the judgement skins the 15 hidden unlocks? For achievements
yes
Is this update out on switch yet?
Race using crypt of necrodancer music lets go!
I just wish she kept the hover.

Rorr is very easy once you figure it out yeah, it’s just a shock to a lot of people I think

That... Is the joke
Can anyone tell me what exactly is the Miner thing they were talking about at 2:30? What was broken about miner?

I can't tell if artificer is good of if Race is just diff
artificer is very underrated

I was so excited to try arti in this game, shes one of my favourites in 2.
But god damn, i really hate that m1. Genuinely upset i dont like her.

I want to like this game so badly but it’s just too difficult to be fun for unfortunately

You should try changing the options to reduce damage taken and increase damage dealt
