    Personally, I think the duplicate items giving a -10% penalty is a bit excessive due to how you tend to gain a lot of items in runs anyways. I think a -5% penalty for duplicate items with limited items being unaffected, and -10% for duplicate weapons would be much better.

      It probably doesn't help that you're also going to be getting a lot of crates on this character from all the loot aliens, which means a lot of chances to either A: get an item you already have and be forced to either pass on it or do math to figure out if it's a total damage loss, or B: get an item you had locked in the shop and feel bad for not being a psychic.

    I do have the feeling that diping into an elemental build is probably worth as much as the tech dip woth pocket factory or just single turrets. A snake and a hot sauce doenst cowt that much and items like the fried rice, the ice cube etc are so helpful and provide so many stat that i think it is always worth picking up a snake and a sausage if they show up… and of course the elemental dip and the tech dip work wonderfully together

    I watched someone play the brick yesterday. I wasn't sure if you lost the whole brick or just a level. It's the whole brick and he lost one or more bricks pretty much every wave from mid-game to end-game. Seems like a bad weapon to me since you have to keep buying weapons.

      bricks are actually great with characters who benefits/penaltised if not using multiple weapons, since its hits like a truck, and often cost less than you get when it breaks. But having it as a starter item is a bit anticlimactic. Mine bricked out in 3rd hit xD

    Did you try playing with the Creature? I think it's the worst character I've ever seen, mods included. The starting weapons are just bad, the stat penalties uppon levelling up are way too harsh and the gimmick of having multiple items locked in the shop just doesn't work 80% of the time. I truly think it's worse than a blank character with no upsides/downsides.

    • @sinner5452
      @sinner5452 2 місяці тому

      Its actually pretty strong, 50% chaos scaling matters, especially for ranged weapons. But it requires some luck with hook indeed (or just another hook in the shop). Corrupted weapons are crazy good even by itself, but with added chaos scaling its just a machines of mass destruction.
      My winning run was with ghost scepters, since it synergise character pretty well - scepters need some damage to start kickin', and creature need some extra stats to compensate exp loss.
