its annoying when you do it with a chance shrine though, because if you summon a eccentric vase it will teleport you a small distance, meaning you cant just hold down E. we call this a first world problem
If you have member card and bottled chaos and it spawns a remote caffienator, it triggers a random equipment every time you purchase from it, often times respawning another remote caffienator. Just an endless stream of random equipment being activated. So busted.
The larva is also wild since it will corrupt items for the turrets only when they’re revived. So if you’re carrying a uke and your turrets die, they’ll come back with a fucking polylute.
Seeing desk plant above raincoat cause of the nerf is funny. Watching this video really made me learn how much peoples perspectives on items change depending on play styles, experiences, playtime, etc. despite the things I agree with and disagree with its still a well put together video tho
Something I forgot to mention in this video was the fact that im very biased, I primarily play eclipse 8, and that influences my perspective alot (mainly when it comes to healing items). I tried to make this list from a monsoon standpoint, but that bias is still very present. Lists like this are not meant to be taken very seriously; that said I think it's a good format to talk about items and their merits.
I play the engineer, and aegis and the other second last place items all work for the BUNGUS build Engis love, and they are worth it, however, I too am extraordinarily biased, because of my love(addiction) to bungus
It’s NOT bad tho. Literally how is it bad. On engineer it’s overpowered especially with a rejuv rack. On later loops with multiple medkits it’s ridiculous and with a corpse blossom it’s kinda excessively overpowered
I'd put Happiest mask lowest. All the other items here can be useful depending on the build, like aegis and n'kuhana's can be fantastic with lots of healing. Happiest mask never gets better, you can proc it more with clover but even then the ghost rarely do anything useful. You can get ghost of voidling and newt though, dunno bout mythrix, so thats fun.
I thought that it was utter dog, then I played with inferno difficulty, and just having some enemy aggro relief is insane. Drones can't hold up, but ghosts are renewable haha!
yeah exactly, thats the joke i was making lol. you need to use mods for the item to even be viable which kinda says something about it. @@wolvensoul9147
The main issue is that the strongest enemies you can recruit tend to have some form of friendly fire, ie the none beatle void enemies and the dunestrider. After that they have either low damage or low accuracy. Something worth noting is the reason why enemies like the wisp and larva are so dangerous is that they tend to hit, but their dps kinda sucks.
I feel a good fix for aegis would be for it to also have a support mechanic mixed into it, so nearby allies receive a % of the shield you gain from aegis. of course this would work on summons too, so it isn't a horrible solo buff before you say this makes engi busted, engi was already getting max shields from aegis in ridiculous time frames. he's just a character that benefits from reds an insane amount due to his stacking nature. plus the devs have already stated that they don't care about balance too much.
@lapotajunior5072 The one good thing about the item is that it scales with health so if u had like 10k or million u will keep barrier while healing and get 2 layers of one shot protection honestly underrated also pretty much double health
having the bottle of chaos with membership card early on is insane, you can activate it on all shrines, equips, chests, everything. just activates random equip items every chest, can get some nice outcomes
Most of the things that were rated poorly are basically auto wins on Engineer. (stationary turrets) Rack, N'kuhana's, and Aegis mixed with bungus turns them into near unkillable monsters with homing projectiles. Sure, that's not all easy to get, but you only really need any one of those plus fungus to see amazing results. All that said, pretty good list! I definitely didn't know that they boosted the damage output on Headstompers so much.
My favorite engy setup is triple bungus turrets with a caffienator and squids. The healing from the turrets easily makes the squids last forever (as long as they spawn in the radius of the healing) and clever turret placement can have all three turrets benefiting from all the bungus fields (four if you count yourself) while still covering a huge area
Honestly though, screw stationary turrets cos they suck, I prefer being able to turn them into heat seeking suicide monsters by stacking the homing mines on top of them.
Resonance Disk actually has some pretty funky synergy with Forgive Me Please, as its stacks are a on kill effect, letting you spam the HELL out of it if you get lucky or command memeing
Aegis can be used for Rex and Engineer to make them unkillable, you can use it on anyone who shoots fast if you build for the crit healing. N,kunhanas opinion is the same deal as it'll add on extra damage once you have a couple scythes, that and bungus makes it endlessly fire.
I wish red items had extra special effects if you matched them to their designated survivor. Ex: rex and deskplant, laser scope and rail gunner, engineer and spare drone parts, captain and icbm, frost relic (maybe Tesla or behemoth) and artificer, hardlight afterburner and mercenary, scorpion and Rex (maybe? Both monsters kinda) Smook (sentient meat hook) and hunteress (she is a hunter after all I just feel like smook fits) headstompers and loader (maybe Mul-T) not sure for the other survivors but let me know what you think!?
I think the cool thing about this game is that even some of the worse items, in the right situation can still be really strong, unlock some other rouge likes where the bad items stay bad
Sometimes I legitimately question whether this man pretends to be old as a joke, or he's actually old and we're just being misled by how young his voice sounds
Opinion is pretty good on engi or void fiend, but otherwise really bad. Also iirc laser scope only increases damage by 50% max, as crits already deal 200% base. if you are killing enemies before roughly 8 seconds, but after you hit then 5 times, justice is just a better scorpion, so I'd put scorpion probably behind justice. I was mad when I saw clover at #2, but then I remembered headstompers. Completely right. So many runs carried by this.
Was gonna comment this same thing but for Aegis. Aegis keeps me going for quite some time with an infinite healing Void Fiend, especially since apparently barriers also get their own one-shot protection, meaning I can have it twice for free on top of being able to heal a billion health in three seconds by mashing one key. Outside of that I get the placement.
As REX or Engi, Aegis is hands down one of my favourite legendaries to get. Even without brooches, you're basically unkillable. Add them in and now you have permanent barrier.
@@Houstonruss I can’t see it being better than clover, hardlight, justice, scorpion (or like Tesla, Behemoth, Hook, Stompers) in basically any situation. Like you have some innate healing as Rex but relying on Bungus as engi is dodgy It’s such a limited effect, just use brooch. Even if you have a bunch of healing, I think Nkuhana’s would perform better (or even rejuv rack) With enough healing to make Aegis good, if you’re even a bit good at dodging you’ll be just fine healing up when you take a hit or two Better than normal? For sure, but top 3?
I really like N'kuhanas with Weeping Fungus and little disciple. It's definitely weak if you aren't playing command because you have to hyper stack healing items
Best use for #26 Aegis I found was to help Huntress do the Piercing Wind challenge, along with Topaz Brooch, Forgive Me Please, and a source of healing such as Leeching Seed.
I consistently use aegis in my runs since I if u take neuropathy and stack something like weeping fungus u can always have double health thanks to the barrier Had it so if I ran I could outheal and barrier health against most attacks was pretty insane
Double nail gun MUL-T has the best use of the symbiotic scorpion because of the high fire rate, plus enabling sticky bombs that you may have to deal double damage (sticky bombs are good on MUL-T because of the extremely fast fire rate of nail gun)
I just miss the old Resonance Disc. It was so much more rewarding to play with because it incentivized a high risk-reward playstyle. The new one just adds random, skill-less damage independent of how you play.
There was one monsoon run where I was hesitant to fight Mithrix because I had 25 Safer Spaces. But, I also had 2 happiest masks and 1 clover. Every other enemy I killed became a ghost. And when Mithrix did take my items, I hid on a pillar, and the Chimeras killed him.
Drone parts seems crazy to me. I just started playing this game. I have failed runs in the first stage several times. The only time I have won is with drone spare parts. I don't think I got past stage 4 before that.
Happy mask is an item that will get you killed. I once got a grandparent ghost and he did a spirt bomb, which proceed to kill everyone in the party while we could do nothing about it
I do want to say, that Brainstalks is actually pretty nutty at loop 1 and onward or if you like using artifacts. Since so many enemies are elites, it then becomes easier to kill elites because you have more access to the higher damage and potentially mobility of your characters kit, but unrestricted. As someone who loves Rex, Brainstalks is an enthusiastic welcome to my runs.
ok im sobbing irl because frost relic isn’t number 1 but yeah i think this list is pretty swag! I am also an E8 player, so I judge the items in a similar way to you. I think n’kuhana’s isn’t so bad and I’d probably personally put it higher because it’s like a budget little disciple if you can get some wungus, or it works nicely on crit builds/characters if you have a scythe, but it still takes a lot of variables to work well so I understand your placement of it. It’s kinda similar to the pocket ICBM where it is useless without the right handful of items, but N’kuhana isn’t nearly as impactful when it has the right items with it. Overall tho I would probably have a similar list if I made one right now, with a few minor adjustments for personal preference. Good video :D
WHY IS WAKE OF VULTURES SO HIGH???? half the time it does nothin and when it does the damage is so negligible, everytime I see it I just feel despair because it is undisputedly the worst red, and any other red would have done way better.
was playing around a little bit and Aegis pairs really well with Huntress, Harvester's scythe, and plasma shrimp (with crit ofc) 6 arrows, 1 missile per arrow, each missile crits and heals you a ton. not sure how it works with other survivors tho
topaz brooch can be useful if stacked with tons of gasoline, giving you almost full shield in a press of one button Really helped me on runs with loops
Brilliant Behemoth is honestly just, straight up #1 for me, it is an utter powerhouse, stack it a few times on something like Mul-T's chaingun and you've got the ability to splash the cash with needleticks, lost-seer's and other such things.
I don't get how aegis is bad, like it gives you barriers for having a lot of healing and in every run you get healing cause it's necessary, if you had 3 topaz broaches and no couscous slugs but you found it's printer you'd most likely give most if not all of them up but if you had 3 slugs and no broaches but you found a crafter you wouldn't take it because healing is needed the most and aegis just gives you extra for that and late in runs with the amount of healing you'll most likely have you'll practically have a constant double of your health bar no matter if there's enemy to kill or not if the argument is "killing an enemy with a broach gives you more" remember a lot of heals heal a percentage of your max health so aegis scales with health, topaz broach doesn't it gives a flat number. If you still were to make an argument i think that even if it wasn't giving enough it's still more guaranteed to give it's effect compared to stuff like laser sight which doesn't give any crit and there really only being 4 items to give a chance for it from which 2 stack compared to probably double that and all of them stacking meaning that picking up aegis is more guaranteed to give you value compared to other reds with one being above it despite literally running a risk of killing you
the happiest mask is so fucking op in the original ROR. I played that game quite a lot and the moment i heard they were bringing it into 3D ror2 , i knew it was going to fail. the reason why it's so op in ror1 is because of the two dimensional gameplay. the ghosts are almost ALWAYS within attacking distance of an enemy in that game. adding a third dimension for the ghost to have to walk around really killed it's usefulness and then on top of that, they actually decided to nerf the item by changing its stats.
Headstompers has always been my favorite item period. I don’t rlly agree with it being #1, but I do think that it is underrated and it has won me many runs.
I think what you failed to address with the soulbound catalyst is that it basically makes spinel tonic immediately infinite. You have 20 seconds to kill 10 enemies for the spinel to become self sustaining, which is very easy on anything other than the first two stages of the game, where you probably won't ever get this combination of items. It also won't save you against mithrix but if you got catalyst and spinel, you can steamroll the entirety of the game on a loop and get a couple of cells or gestures.
Dagger with a bunch of Ukeleles and Gasoline with Razorwire and Tesla Coil is so incredibly broken. Throw on crowbars and Tougher Times for damage and extra defense. Shrooms for healing, you'll be fine standing still.
I quite enjoy Aegis, for one reason. If you're full health, your healing items do nothing. Aegis completely removes that, giving you a huge buff to your survivability.
Im very new to the game but i love Aegis mixed with N'kuhana's Opinion. As engineer put your turrents next to each other while they have the funny shroom Since the rings overlay they will, heal to max, over heal to somewhere of 3 times their health as well as constantly spam the ghost skulls. As well as offering a little safe area to run to and quickly heal to 3 times your hp.
It's really great that Headstompers is the strongest item in the game because it's also my favorite item (at least favorite Red). No fall damage and mobility increase are nice, absolutely unconscionable damage AND it's AoE? Forget Kur'skan, this is a one item transformation that turns you into Mario. In the Paladin mod, with the rebalanced Sun skill, the Ancient Scepter upgrade tosses the sun for 4000% damage, and now that ability I thought was broken strong is actually weaker than my House Arrest Ankle Bracelets.
How was Ceremonial daggers not ranked higher? I have had multiple runs where I literally did not need to do anything after getting the daggers cause one kill would kill the entire map indefinitely. My longest run with Commando was literally me just walking to pick up items and going to the teleporter because the daggers were constantly killing everything on each stage without me touching anything. Add a forgive me please to the mix and it amplifies the power.
The thing with IDP and forgive me please is that it drops the ring in the same spot over and over, so while you need to stand in the one spot there’s ab 10 IDP rings in that spot making you heal almost instantly
So about aegis, I used it for a bandit run where I also got leech and just a shot ton of healing items but I got the red hellishly early, (if I recall it was from stage 1 or 2 from a big chest) it made the run so easy and fun but yes it does need either building up or it comes too late but it shows how good red items are if gotten early
I feel for engi specifically, dio's teddybear is probably next to number 1, cuz it keeps your most likely already busted turrets out longer, letting you do god knows what engis do when their turrets are nuking everything

Imo was one of the best from ror1
I do want to say, that Brainstalks is actually pretty nutty at loop 1 and onward or if you like using artifacts. Since so many enemies are elites, it then becomes easier to kill elites because you have more access to the higher damage and potentially mobility of your characters kit, but unrestricted.
As someone who loves Rex, Brainstalks is an enthusiastic welcome to my runs.
Hey the cool down on the bands is applied as a debuff so Ben's raincoat give infinite tornados unless they changed it
> Clover
> any item with % chance
Not any item. Teddybear is an exception
this video was literally the reason why i stopped scraping headstompers
GREAT video disputed, I actually saw your grandson the other day, great guy, i don't know what he was doing in a fursuit tho
I'm still on my way back to the right path...
Aegis and N'kuhanas are god-tier on engineer, proving once again that he flips the game upside down
Useless fact:
My very first item in RoR2 was Hardlight Afterburner from a standard chest.
ok im sobbing irl because frost relic isn’t number 1 but yeah i think this list is pretty swag! I am also an E8 player, so I judge the items in a similar way to you. I think n’kuhana’s isn’t so bad and I’d probably personally put it higher because it’s like a budget little disciple if you can get some wungus, or it works nicely on crit builds/characters if you have a scythe, but it still takes a lot of variables to work well so I understand your placement of it. It’s kinda similar to the pocket ICBM where it is useless without the right handful of items, but N’kuhana isn’t nearly as impactful when it has the right items with it. Overall tho I would probably have a similar list if I made one right now, with a few minor adjustments for personal preference. Good video :D
Finally someone who puts alien head in its place. I swear everyone is convinced is a god tier item but it’s just really not great
WHY IS WAKE OF VULTURES SO HIGH???? half the time it does nothin and when it does the damage is so negligible, everytime I see it I just feel despair because it is undisputedly the worst red, and any other red would have done way better.
Im subscribing for whatever the heck that bit was
One of my best moments was a god run in Simulacrum with Engineer. A single stack of Desk Plant and the entire screen was green
#22: Alien Head
Mercenary mains who know: *"Who's gonna tell him?"*
was playing around a little bit and Aegis pairs really well with Huntress, Harvester's scythe, and plasma shrimp (with crit ofc)
6 arrows, 1 missile per arrow, each missile crits and heals you a ton.
not sure how it works with other survivors tho
topaz brooch can be useful if stacked with tons of gasoline, giving you almost full shield in a press of one button
Really helped me on runs with loops
Brilliant Behemoth is honestly just, straight up #1 for me, it is an utter powerhouse, stack it a few times on something like Mul-T's chaingun and you've got the ability to splash the cash with needleticks, lost-seer's and other such things.
I don't get how aegis is bad, like it gives you barriers for having a lot of healing and in every run you get healing cause it's necessary, if you had 3 topaz broaches and no couscous slugs but you found it's printer you'd most likely give most if not all of them up but if you had 3 slugs and no broaches but you found a crafter you wouldn't take it because healing is needed the most and aegis just gives you extra for that and late in runs with the amount of healing you'll most likely have you'll practically have a constant double of your health bar no matter if there's enemy to kill or not if the argument is "killing an enemy with a broach gives you more" remember a lot of heals heal a percentage of your max health so aegis scales with health, topaz broach doesn't it gives a flat number. If you still were to make an argument i think that even if it wasn't giving enough it's still more guaranteed to give it's effect compared to stuff like laser sight which doesn't give any crit and there really only being 4 items to give a chance for it from which 2 stack compared to probably double that and all of them stacking meaning that picking up aegis is more guaranteed to give you value compared to other reds with one being above it despite literally running a risk of killing you
Nice persona 4 music in the background
First time watching this guy but he seems to know a lot about the game and family conflict!
personally happiest mask is lowest ranked item in the game for one very big reason. makes your computer release gamma radiation.
Aegis with corpsebloom means you have max barrier most of the time
one of my first runs I got a Headstomper and I havent been able to stop using it. It's so amazing.
I think the reason your wife left you is you think Dio’s Best Friend is above #26
you're right, it literally does nothing
Putting brainstalk below resonance disk is insane imo
aegis is god tier on engineer, get some bungi, place the turrets to heal each other and boom, constant double health
NEW DISPUTED ORIGIN VIDEO???????????😳😳😳
Woolie fans are gonna crucify you for putting frost relic above soulbound
the happiest mask is so fucking op in the original ROR. I played that game quite a lot and the moment i heard they were bringing it into 3D ror2 , i knew it was going to fail. the reason why it's so op in ror1 is because of the two dimensional gameplay. the ghosts are almost ALWAYS within attacking distance of an enemy in that game. adding a third dimension for the ghost to have to walk around really killed it's usefulness and then on top of that, they actually decided to nerf the item by changing its stats.
Headstompers has always been my favorite item period. I don’t rlly agree with it being #1, but I do think that it is underrated and it has won me many runs.
I think what you failed to address with the soulbound catalyst is that it basically makes spinel tonic immediately infinite. You have 20 seconds to kill 10 enemies for the spinel to become self sustaining, which is very easy on anything other than the first two stages of the game, where you probably won't ever get this combination of items. It also won't save you against mithrix but if you got catalyst and spinel, you can steamroll the entirety of the game on a loop and get a couple of cells or gestures.
Dagger with a bunch of Ukeleles and Gasoline with Razorwire and Tesla Coil is so incredibly broken. Throw on crowbars and Tougher Times for damage and extra defense. Shrooms for healing, you'll be fine standing still.
Acrid and headstompers is fun af
Honestly headstompers are the only reason I've succeeded and of my runs. They are believably helpful for dodging. That alone is enough for me.
I quite enjoy Aegis, for one reason.
If you're full health, your healing items do nothing.
Aegis completely removes that, giving you a huge buff to your survivability.
My biggest shame as a ror2 player is I still don’t really know what resonance disc does
You have meter. You kill enemy, meter fills up. When meter is full, disc flies to an enemy and goes kaboom, then meter goes back to 0.
"Waaaaa tier lists don't account for different circumstances, survicors, etc."
"Haha I'm ranking them anyway"
Also mans literally put moon shoes number 1 just so it wouldn’t be a predictable clover 🍀😂
Nah headsets are legimately that good. Especially if you get even 1 band
Im very new to the game but i love Aegis mixed with N'kuhana's Opinion.
As engineer put your turrents next to each other while they have the funny shroom
Since the rings overlay they will, heal to max, over heal to somewhere of 3 times their health as well as constantly spam the ghost skulls. As well as offering a little safe area to run to and quickly heal to 3 times your hp.
i think it's pronounces aegis but i could be wrong
I saw there's a mod that swaps item qualities of bottled chaos and gesture, what do you think of that idea?
It's really great that Headstompers is the strongest item in the game because it's also my favorite item (at least favorite Red). No fall damage and mobility increase are nice, absolutely unconscionable damage AND it's AoE? Forget Kur'skan, this is a one item transformation that turns you into Mario. In the Paladin mod, with the rebalanced Sun skill, the Ancient Scepter upgrade tosses the sun for 4000% damage, and now that ability I thought was broken strong is actually weaker than my House Arrest Ankle Bracelets.
The only reason anybody wouldn't like h3ad-5Tv2 is because of a serious skill issue.
Btw they're only ok because it's hard landing changes reliably.
That was hilarious please do a tier list for white items :3
How was Ceremonial daggers not ranked higher? I have had multiple runs where I literally did not need to do anything after getting the daggers cause one kill would kill the entire map indefinitely. My longest run with Commando was literally me just walking to pick up items and going to the teleporter because the daggers were constantly killing everything on each stage without me touching anything. Add a forgive me please to the mix and it amplifies the power.
Agis combos immaculately with healing items
engineer: watches video "nukahana or whatever tf its called sucks!" *angy*
The thing with IDP and forgive me please is that it drops the ring in the same spot over and over, so while you need to stand in the one spot there’s ab 10 IDP rings in that spot making you heal almost instantly
So about aegis, I used it for a bandit run where I also got leech and just a shot ton of healing items but I got the red hellishly early, (if I recall it was from stage 1 or 2 from a big chest) it made the run so easy and fun but yes it does need either building up or it comes too late but it shows how good red items are if gotten early
I feel for engi specifically, dio's teddybear is probably next to number 1, cuz it keeps your most likely already busted turrets out longer, letting you do god knows what engis do when their turrets are nuking everything
that "God knows what" Is finding more items for their maste- I mean turrets like a lost puppy.
this list is High as hell and wrong but respect putting your opinion out there, have a great day!
