Pinning things that I missed in the video. • It's generally frowned upon to have less than 50% EVs on the gauntlet, no matter how casual the lobby is. - Slenderman Basically, depending on how you team is, whether it is 3p, 4p, 5p, or 6p, EVs need to be at least 50% of the team. • Monk's in group play should never use Cupid as a pet. Crystalline Drag, Nature's Griffin, Little Wizard, other DPS pets need to be the pet of choice. Monk's pets have the best scaling of all the heroes and a Monk's pet is a big dealer of damage along with the EVs. • When playing duo, Monks can shoot mm at kraken as it is often needed, but only duo. If more players then no mm on kraken. - DynaMICW0LF
Fun fact about "The Jump": if you're using your summoner to get through the spikes you can actually skip the jump entirely! Just float up the wall like you would on ev, but the smaller character model of the summoner doesn't actually reach the spikes below you, so you can safely hover right through.
Another tip for countess players, and this is something that's good to know even outside of polybius. Joust is OP! Countess's ab2 is called joust, it makes you run really fast in one direction and leaves a trail of fire behind you. That trail of fire can do upwards of 70 MILLION DPS if your stats are high enough. While it's not very good for the assault stage of poly, as it locks you into moving in 1 direction, it's great for the gauntlet. Using joust against the mech boss and the turkey boss during gauntlet can seriously speed up runs if you find the ev's lacking in their beaming abilities.
Well made vid, minus the cupid countess ofc haha. Pains me to see you rank RM above emerald/cane eventho the latter can easily be equal or even better. Also worth mentioning that it's generally frowned upon to have less than 50% EVs on the gauntlet, no matter how casual the lobby is. Huntress is nice on gauntlet, but only if you hit your shots quickly and have monks that know what's going on to help your case a little on turkey and poly/mischief. Besides, it's also just a bit op atm and can only compete because of that perhaps. Will have to see though.
@slenderman478 good point about EVs. I'll create a pinned comment with tid bits like this for sure. The countess part was due to several vocal players saying to not even showcase Countess. 😀 Countess is just too good to not use when playing in pubs. As for the Emerald Staff... well, I used morden's sheet for the list of weapons, but yeah, the emerald should be everyone's top choice.
@@slenderman478 countess pet doesn't do too much damage even when it's not a cupid, IMO cupid on countess is less so about keeping the countess alive, but keeping other players who aren't as skilled at poly alive. It's generally a nice thing to have constant healing going on especially if you don't have the best connection to host / other peoples' connection to you.
@@Reivelia Your pet is not about high dps in casual lobbies, mever claimed it is. Instead, a wizard can help with Kraken and al the trash mob spam which is the main reason others would lose health to begin with (getting stuck on them).
They ran assault with HB monks with mega chickens and jesters with fairies. and They ran gauntlet with HB monks and rangers. This is just based on guides I could find from that time period.
Would you be willing to make a video on volcanic eruption after ruthless difficulty comes out all the videos available on it are severely outdated being from about 5 years ago Since then we've got lots of new pets and a new hero and we're about to get a new difficulty so I'm sure much better strategies can be created/might need to be for the new difficulty
@varycooldood I will look into it. Though, i honestly can't think of a reason to even farm that map. BF Drills for Lab Assault are a thing of the past, as is Lab Assault.
I assume you are using the base ev skin. I should have mentioned in the video, but the EV you need is the series EV 1.5 or 1.75, or bounty hunter. The base ev will not work as she does does not hover.

The original DD is still around? Used to love that game back when it was new but thought it died eons ago.
Still alive and kicking.
Great video Theo ❤
Thank you 😁

Very nice video
W vid next ruth :)
That will take some time as strategies are ironed out.
Nice

@@Theoran1911 Well yeah, countess is valid in bad pubs, but it doesn't need to have a cupid. Wizard has more utility.

This is why I prefaced the countess in the video. :D Healthy debate.
I wonder how people ran this before all the items from maps released after this map
They ran assault with HB monks with mega chickens and jesters with fairies. and They ran gauntlet with HB monks and rangers. This is just based on guides I could find from that time period.

My ev cant do that jump what do i need to be able to do it?
