I had a bloom run where I had Eulogy zero, got a white -> lunar printer in sanctuary with a cleansing pool, the stage1 polylute and stage2 shrimp. I got 10 irradiant pearls, then grabbed bloom on stage2. That run made me love bloom, because I already had all the stats white items would provide me to begin with.
Kinda like the idea of bloom multiplying rarer items into common items until I realized that would just be an exponential item gain with the potential of turning reds into multiple whites and back to reds again into even more whites.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 if youre talking only adding items to different categories I guess it could work (leaving out the part where they can all convert to a higher/different rarities because that once again would become perpetual item gain). It also couldve been a cool lunar if it just changed item rarity to any rarity like ego but instead of gaining an ego you sacrifice any item for a different one.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 also forgot to mention they originally said it should be multiplicative because more more common items would equivalent to less less common items as seen in cauldrons (which makes sense for the hypothetical item in theory)
Shoutouts to the editor one this one! I know the editing's not flashy or anything but condensing a run like this into 30 mins without feeling like we're missing anything is impressive, def one of the big reasons I like watching race vids. Plus GOATed music choices :)
Hey Race, just wanted to say that you inspired me to start my Eclipse grind and just completed eclipse 1 with all characters Love watching your videos for entertainment and learning strategies also I´m starting to learn pot rolling
At the end of the day, the problem with Bloom in the long run is that there are absolutely no red items which can increase movement speed. Otherwise, pick up a disposable missile launcher and a gesture, and you're unstoppable. Even if there was a lunar item which doubled movement speed but halved all damage, it would be fine in the long run.
Runs where you have items like Benthic and Egocentrism are really interesting IMO for how much your strategies on how to play the game have to change. Whether that's for the better or not is debatable, but it's still interesting nonetheless, and this was a great showcase of it. Also I just checked thunderstore the day after this video came out and someone already modded the balance suggestion chat gave for bloom at 14:00 lol. The mod's called benthiccBloom for anyone interested. Definitely gonna try it myself to see how effective it is.
Mom, can we have a little disciple? We already have little disciple at home Little disciple at home: 16 N'kuhana's + mired urn edit: 33 N'kuhana's my god
dude whoever made that umbral mithrix mod is a true gamer also that was an epic showcase of it, it was way too hype, i love the last phase where its just a survival phase perfect final touch to it
10:35 Although Commando can one-shot an enemy, there are some that are just too tough. To combat this, pick up Shattering Justice. After hitting an enemy 5 times, this item will reduce armor by 60 for 8 seconds. Combined with a Soldier's Syringe for Double Tap, you can quickly reduce an enemy's armor.
Thanks for giving me another great morning Race! I love how you're always having fun and sharing interesting quips even when you do something you dislike. I love your content and I'm glad you keep bringing us more of it too!
Fix for N'kuhana's Opinion: Each time you're healed, shoots out a Soul Energy, that deals 10% (+10% per stack) of your HP as percentage base damage. So when you have 1000 HP you deal 100% base dmg each time you get healed. And proc efficient as 1.2, because it's a legendary item, it has no rights to be that bad in game.
hey i love the vids and im curious if you have a vods channel here on youtube or something cause id love to watch the streams but i sadly cant make it to them live(i am aware of vods being directly on twitch but i sometimes like to go back to vods and twitch auto deletes them after a certain time period)
2 months of vods are on twitch, otherwise most all other vods are in a vod playlist here on youtube. ua-cam.com/play/PLKjf8mgOWN8hfcQXE6vgi0ByeZaVD91BJ.html if you or anyone else doesnt remember where to find this comment or whatever type !vods in my twitch chat. happy watching :)
get in close, prioritize aoe and proc based multipliers. consider using phase round and grenade if youre struggling with aoe. keep up your target priority
I had a run on drizzle(yes I play on drizzle just to see how far I can go) and had atg's, nukahanas, seeds, both bands and both perforators and whe I launched my spider mine on engi and my game just crashed lol
@@RacesVideos Thank you for the quick reply, wow. I love watching your videos and am currently getting to e8 with all characters. I only have 17 clears left across all characters to achieve this and your channel has inspired me to play this game as much as I have. Thank you!
nuka go br
The funny thing is, I had this video playing as a sort of background noise while doing my own run, and I ended up with 3 nukas
Nuke a Hanas

You may not like it, but this is the Ideal Risk of Rain 2 run.
It’s BALLIN!
woah sir pemberton s. crevalius full of bungus

I like that, it is the best place to store items after all :P
3:05 “Enemy in that direction!”
“Copy that, sir. Removing that direction.”

shouldn’t be multiplicative, should add one to the stack it picks

That could be a fun challenge if you don't gain items (or far less) like you normally do, and just start with like 5 whites stage 1
just make it so bloomborn items cant be rebloomed

Do you really need mov speed with countless stacks of aegis and afterburners?

first of all he didnt oneshot the lemurian, and the lemurian died from shurken
Hearing the BPM song near the end ripped my attention from the game I was playing, shit was like a core memory
Race: N'kuhana is so bad
Also Race: _runs actual circles around final bosses with Nuka Wungus_
10:25 scrapper - 10:35 "no scrapper, damn"
Always love the Asgard I music in the background of Mithrix fight
this video actually made me play bpm instead of risk of rain 2🤣 forever on that Odr grind💀💀
What’s the name?please

Thank you so much for the soundtrack in the description
I love bloom since it always spirals into pure chaos.
I love the rainglish correction in post
love the bullets per minute music at the end
races uploads make mondays so much better
That thumbnail is really good. Fun run.
Bullets Per Minute enjoyer :chad:
I love how whenever he shouts close range the bit rate drops dramatically

That flashing light warning surely saved a life!
Lore accurate commando
Every bloom run becomes N'kuhana's + Aegis + Rejuv Rack
the most powerful items
Him abbreviating all the items causes me physical pain
Let it wash over you
I like explosions more than the next person, but OW MY RETINAS
When I saw the name of the video, I thought it was a lunar run. I have been pleasantly surprised by a slightly more challenging, well, challenge.
This is truly what it means to play risk of rain 2
0:44 Hey look, someone on the same page as me. SCREW IT, WE BALL
me watching as my ice and fire bands get turned into happiest masks
You can't make a run with only red items. That's like a breakfast consisting entirely of three glasses of milk.
the bpm music is HUGE!
Name?
Race: I hate benthic
Also Race: Becomes a God with Benthic.
Both of these can be true
Myrn and nuka is like a poor man's tesla coil
I feel like to be viable blume has to then upgrade reds to 5 commons, and cycle again. 5 maybe too high but thats the idea
I demand more videos. Once a week is too rarely, i cant wait for more :((
I stream! And have hundreds of vods, you got options :)
I mean, benthic and then grab some void items so they corrupt before being upgraded is actually pretty solid
It's bortal
Raydans spotted
5:35 NO COST TOO GREAT-
NGL thought the frost relic in the thumbnail was the Star of David for a second
N’kuhana + Wungus = Micro D
keep up the good work man
I would love a mod that makes bloom also turn reds into whites so they just keep cycling.
W run, glad to see them
The average Risk of Rain 2 run
i had 6 harpoons turn into 6 clovers and immediately turn into blooms. so yeah... it does not matter what the item is.
Epic gamer music 🎶
Imagine artifact of chaos + 6 behemoths 😂😂
Bloom is so good if you go milky chrysalis and get gesture and transcendence.
This got me really curious, how do you make your thumbnails? they look amazing
Ty :) its mostly photoshop and in games screenshots
@@siegkami im confused
@@anartoast About what?
@@siegkami it lookslike race replied but it was only you
@@anartoast yea im his editor, when i reply it shows as a channel reply
Like for the BPM soundtrack in the end
I feel like the best survivor for benthic is merc. Some of the reds just feel like they benefit him more than most of the others.
Benthic best item no contest
What's the mod which lets you spawn with the benthic bloom?
benthic bloom is top tier and that is a hill i will die on

@@RacesVideos thank you so much
Average benthic bloom run
What’s the song that’s playing during the mithrix fight? Talking abt his playlist not the actual ror2 mithrix theme
Can we get this as a race mode!!!!? Would love to see racers try this!
Nuka should just work like Lil D but instead of Sprinting It's Healing and every stack increases the damage
I knew you had it in you
Idk what fathomless voidling is so I wouldn't mind a video where you fight that
Think I might have a vid with it
Who up blooming they benthics
benthic commando E8 oh god-
bro what is that obelisk in the entrance to commencement, it was always there???
I did a shrine of order and it have me attack speed and behemoth with multi nail gun
only on a benthic challenge run could you get opal, soda, repulsion armor, atg, glasses, medkit, mocha and scythe on stage 1
I love commando and I’m trying to climb eclipse with him but I keep dying from being overwhelmed. Do you have any advice
get in close, prioritize aoe and proc based multipliers. consider using phase round and grenade if youre struggling with aoe. keep up your target priority
Bloom is chad
I get why he hates looping. It really makes even wonky runs pretty damn easy.
Benthic bussy
I had a run on drizzle(yes I play on drizzle just to see how far I can go) and had atg's, nukahanas, seeds, both bands and both perforators and whe I launched my spider mine on engi and my game just crashed lol
Is that the in game music when you fight mithrix? If not I need a name
Actual ror2 music?? No way.
If you find a name lemme know
@@tylerwhitworth2719 name of which song?
Is that vampire survivors chest opening in the thumbnail
Scrapper ? I hardly know her !
W
go go gadget bitrate reducer
What mithrix mod is that?
comically long flashing lights warning
You gotta upload every bloom run pls I beg
Oh god this is bad very bad (but it's worth it for charity)
is that thumbnail a fucking vampire survivors reference
Thermal take, Sacrificial Knife is good.
Betraying principles? Nap, this is trying something new
Betraying principles would be if you start picking up blue items
what mod gives you bloom on start
no mod does that, it's knowing how to use commands
please can anyone tell me what the song at 25:55 is?
its Into Asgard from the game BPM: bullets per minute
WAIT IS THAT BPM MUSIC I HEAR AT THE END????? OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME????
How do you have Beads of Fealty on Eclipse?
i explained in the video when someone asked. I'm playing in the single player game mode using a mod that makes it E8
