Thank you so much for doing what you do, Dex. My wife lost her fight against cancer today, and your videos have helped me to get through the hard times. I just wanted to thank you for what you do. You've been a huge blessing for me. She would always giggle when you did the boogaloo of illusions gag. She laughed so hard at your video that was completely boogaloo'd and it's a wonderful memory. Sincerely, a very thankful fan.
For those interested, I've done some digging through the code to find out some of the details about curse. It seems there is a 40% base stat modifier for cursed items. The bonus values you get from curse start increasing by 2% every wave after 20. Technically speaking it has the bonus set to 20 waves even when you're below 20 waves, and it starts increasing when you reach wave 20. That means it should give you a 40% bonus to item stats until wave 20, after which it starts increasing by another 2% per wave There's also a random number aspect that can be negative or positive that gets added to the wave increase bonus, set to 30%. All together, in a normal run, a cursed item will give you between 50% to 110% curse bonus. The exact effect does always round up for increasing positive stats, and round down for decreasing negative stats. For positive stats, it just adds the percentage bonus to the stat; calculated_stat = base_stat * (1 + curse_bonus) For negative stats, to reduce the negative effect; calculated_stat = base_stat / (1 + curse_bonus) Neutral effects (such as enemy count) don't get affected at all. The curse stat value (as in the main stat, not the bonus to item stats) you get from a cursed item is 4% of its material value, rounded up. The maximum chance that an item will randomly be cursed by having a high curse stat, is 12%. Cursed enemies by default get 200% bonus hp, so 3x hp in total. They also deal 50% bonus damage (1.5x) And they also move 75% faster (1.75x) For every curse, cursed enemies get an additional 3% bonus hp, the other stats don't scale with curse. Hope this was useful to someone out there :)
Hey dex, as far as i know you can do the Same with the bullets as with explosions and turning down their visibility. That should Help the next time you have created a bullet hell like that. Btw thx for the vids :)
So, I've been wondering if there isn't a way to ABSOLUTELY break the game with curse. (Probably easiest with Sailor.) So, two things I have noticed, that are important for this. 1: There are Items that give curse. that doesn't mean they are already cursed though, and can still GET cursed, giving even more curse, but also increasing their effect. 2: Although rare, its possible for Cursed items to have more than twice their power. (for Items, not weapons) and I don't think there is individual limits for each seperate item. The idea is this: Take Sailor, and replay until you get the earliest possible fishhook. At the same time, and after, if you find any of the important limited/unique items, LOCK THEM until they get cursed, and only buy them then. However, the MOST IMPORTANT bit is, find the Spyglasses! You can get two, for 25% reroll cost reduction each, for a total of 50%. And what do you get if you double that with Curse? Free rerolls! the only thing standing between you and getting all the important items cursed versions is enough patiance to reroll until you get the naturally cursed versions. Alternatively, reroll until you get ANOTHER fishook, but keep it locked until it gets cursed. Do it for all three remaining Fishooks for potential 100% chance of cursing items when locking them.
Yeah cursed Spyglasses totally break the game, had one cursed with 53% luckily I also had a mirror active, which in turn gets you increased negative reroll costs, so free exponential money.
@@Silvernite1987 I put up a post on reddit about this. If you also get padding and bone dice, you can infinitely reroll and gain HP and damage every time along with whatever items you want.
Yet another amazing video from dex, info, fun, perfect. Thx for the great vids they rly help especially cus I just got brotato on computer and theyre also very fun.
Agreed on bosses. They are so spammy. In general the dlc feels much more bullet hell like, especially the double final bosses Cursed book is also crazy on this character, if you can curse it. Had a version with +4 eng for every 1 elemental, and you saw how good nail is.
After loosing the two tardigrades on the wave 50, you dodged so much more than you even noticed about. I saw Lady Luck just stop snipping off little pieces off your life line and just threw the whole spool of the cliff strapped on dynamite.
Yeah, the amount of dodges before he got hit the first time after losing the tardigrades was immense. 11 dodges in a row at 54% dodge chance gives a total chance of 0.14%. Which means it should happen about every 879 dodges as long as you stay at a 54% chance. More often than expected, but still. A huge amount of luck involved here.
Hey Dex, been watching your videos a while now. Was watching out for your next one on this new DLC. Not the commenting type but just wanted to say thanks for the entertainment. Love your goofy and over the top style and that you obviously enjoy what you do, it brings me joy. From, a tired old gamer :-).
Thank God I watched your video. I never recognized that it mimics your weapon. I didn't read the description of the turret, just of my character xD and I always used the taser and now I know why I su*** so hard xD
@@1TieDye1 Yeah the numbers do seem off. The bullet hell is worse because so many characters seem melee focused this time around. Especially the Ogre. That character just seems like impossible.
I love how you are showing 'alternate timelines' where you tried different weapons that didn't work. I presume you are doing some sort of save file hack to do it, which normally I'd turn up my nose at, but because your purpose is simply to show your viewers what would have happened, and not to mislead people into thinking that you are a god (though you are legitimately amazing at this game) I think it is a good thing and not a bad thing.
Just play how you want. We love your everything, so just do what you like and you make money yeah? Im sure you can upload "shitty" videos, but your commentary is active and exciting.. people will like it. Especially so if you talk your logic. You've grown a lot recently so you know what you're doing obv, but just have fun and talk your way through it and we/they will love it
Just beat Builder abyss d5 first try with Slingshots + lutes today. Honestly the Lutes are AMAZING. After I got few of them I stopped taking damage since the big guys were just charmed all the time. Amazing combo!
Honestly a strategy i tried with him that actually worked was to just focus on the explosive planks as starter weapon and only 1 strong ranged weapon. The charakter and the turret have great engineering scaling so my planks were doing work and lategame you get enough material to scale the turret later on.
I do really like the cursed mechanic but, I feel like it’s not quite done, they should definitely keep working on this and then it could become an insanely good and fun mechanic.
16:45 it seems like the money turret takes away still counts towards Your experience. Also sorry if You figured it out later, haven't finished watching yet.
why you dont decrease the projectile opacity? i always reduce it to 0% at some point when playing endless with sniper guns and that ""alter schwede was ist denn los hier?!" at the end hahah
Really liking all the brotato, north god game (forget what it's called and vampire survivors atm - just wondering if you'll return to deep rock galactic survivor anytime? enjoyed that game a lot also :)
I feel like I've missed something, the enemies are different, the chests are different, the tress are different, the foods are different? I guess it's with the new update but it wasn't like that in your last video on the new update. Am I missing something ?
@39:00 Why would that be a "bug"? All the turret copied weapons replaced their scaling with Engineering. Why wouldn't their bonus projectiles do the same? Might even be the Flamethrower Burn converts to Engineering like the blue fire turret's burn. Seems very intended to me, or else you wouldn't scale the turret damage up, or items like Sniper Rifle would be worthless by having a bonus effect that doesn't work. @46:35 THAT however is definitely a bug. lol
I think on 39 it was missed what I meant. Focus on the Sniper Gun only. When I hover first over it, it shows a range scaling on it's own bullets. When I then hover over it the second time, it changed to Engineering. That's the bug
First i tried with taser hoping to get fireball, after 6 tries i gave up and started messing with shreder, on second try i got sniper gun and it was glorius
It's a gambit, you lock your shop and it's still just a chance to curse. I had runs with a 45% Curse chance and out of 3 locked items, nothing got cursed over 3 waves, then I just bought them. The main issue being that inflation doesn't wait for them to get cursed. And while I'd argue most weapons and uniques are generally so good you want them cursed, you also delay any items or weapons you could've found in that time period. So I don't think it's as simple as just locking, especially if you don't have all hooks/not a single cursed one
Can hooks get cursed? If so can you get one hook and leave the rest to get cursed? Can you get them to like 80% chance of getting the locked items cursed?
@@Evershifting That's so powerful. 80% seems achievable (15% for the normal hook and then you need an average of like 23% per hook over the other 3 hooks) if you wait for your additional hooks to turn cursed Imagine endless baby with cursed hooks and shurikens, if you could pull it off that would be one hell of a run

hang in there buddy! wish you a lot of strenght in this hard time
You being able to talk about the situation you are in is one of the brightest things i have ever seen.
*Respect*
Thats not just sad but hard to read bro 😢😢
@@BungDungler Sorry for your lost. I wish that things get better soon.
The curse mechanic just made this game go from a 9.5 / 10 to 19.5 / 10 for me in terms of replayability.

Sharp Bullet: Am I a joke to you?
772 das war genial, danke für die Unterhaltung in der Nachtschicht, you're doing an awesome job!
love the videos - there is a setting for opacity of projectiles btw ^^ only affects your own not the enemies projectiles
I just started watching the video so here’s hoping I see your item
53:00 you know it's getting serious when dex starts speaking German 😂
Finally a decent length video
Thank God I watched your video. I never recognized that it mimics your weapon. I didn't read the description of the turret, just of my character xD and I always used the taser and now I know why I su*** so hard xD
It uses whatever ranged weapon is your strongest
hey dex thank you for going endless thats when the fun starts :D
This beta is fun so far, I just think the enemies hit WAY too hard. Hopefully that gets adjusted a bit.
And it feels much more bullet hell like on some rounds, especially the bosses
@@1TieDye1 Yeah the numbers do seem off. The bullet hell is worse because so many characters seem melee focused this time around. Especially the Ogre. That character just seems like impossible.
@@chaoschris8194 Hmm, so far everyone I've seen said Ogre was the easiest character

Creature has a fun glitch right now. When you restart you get an extra cursed hook, which is crazy strong to start with obviously
Enemies : WE WILL SPAM YOU DEX!
Dex : NO U!
Wooow you had a crazy run, i ve already tried builder and i got to wave 40 with just slingshots
Honestly a strategy i tried with him that actually worked was to just focus on the explosive planks as starter weapon and only 1 strong ranged weapon. The charakter and the turret have great engineering scaling so my planks were doing work and lategame you get enough material to scale the turret later on.
Ich liebe es wenn du ausflippst und zwischendurch auf deutsch wechselst xD
The longer videos are really good!
I love that the start was like 5 of these would not be broken. In the end, it was like a god
Love the Vampire Survivors backing track! (I know about the content id problems with this game's soundtrack)
"Lifesteal is Wifesteal" - Dex, 2024.
I do really like the cursed mechanic but, I feel like it’s not quite done, they should definitely keep working on this and then it could become an insanely good and fun mechanic.
Great video as always !
P.S. : I found your legendary item Dex and immediately died. Coincidence ? I don't think so
I love endless runs because you can take them to the most crazy outcomes it's better than danger 5 tbh
They turned the game into a bullet hell
And dex did it for the enemies
That is why Dex, there is something called bullet opacity in the settings.
16:45 it seems like the money turret takes away still counts towards Your experience.
Also sorry if You figured it out later, haven't finished watching yet.
That the XP from Harvesting
That might be true. Would be surprised tho as it looked like a lot of xp gained given the amount of harvesting.
brother, rewatch your wave 50, literally 10 dodges in a row omg
"oh god what is that fish man? not like fishman, but that fish, man." why is this a bar lmao?
Your Final look at the Turret said it dealt 7.980.240 Damage during the Last Wave btw at the Top right next to the Stat Window ( 52:26 )
why you dont decrease the projectile opacity? i always reduce it to 0% at some point when playing endless with sniper guns
and that ""alter schwede was ist denn los hier?!" at the end hahah
I left for work the day before the DLC dropped and now I won't be able to play it for 3 weeks!
the dlc is not available to play yet, it seems like Dex is beta testing? but not sure
In my opinion the best way to go with this character is buffing the torret in the first waves and in then get things for yourself.
Dex forgetting he gets 9 engineering every wafe plus 50% of that because robot arm saying it feels like he gets stronger everytime
I Love your vid's and best thing is when you plötzlich deutsch sprichst 😂
How do you save the game so you can try different shop decisions? Like you did with the partical accelerator
44:14 Dex's brain breaks.
How long till you mod a character so that everything is cursed?
The only runs Dex can't get a nuclear launcher are the runs where he wants to find them 🙃
I was thinking out loud constantly when he said its so big. Thats what she said.
Dex forgot that Padding is a unique now
Wonder what happens if you were to give it a ghost septor... where goes the hp
Is the DLC out yet Dex? I can't seem to get it on Steam
Dex have you tried to play tiny rogues?
Aye dex any idea when the update is coming out
How would the botato thrower work with that turrent?
Really liking all the brotato, north god game (forget what it's called and vampire survivors atm - just wondering if you'll return to deep rock galactic survivor anytime? enjoyed that game a lot also :)
I’m so early! Love the content. Keep it up my dude 💜
I feel like I've missed something, the enemies are different, the chests are different, the tress are different, the foods are different? I guess it's with the new update but it wasn't like that in your last video on the new update. Am I missing something ?
Someone in the last episode said the update added a new map, so I assume that's what this episode had.
52:30 you dodged 12 times in a row based on the number of times "dodged" came up. With 50% dodge, that is a .000244% chance of occurring.
I play on console and have never seen these skins. Is this part of the beta update?
I’d assume so
Yep
If you lock cursed items in the store, can you keep cursing them more and more to keep bosting their stats?
@39:00 Why would that be a "bug"?
All the turret copied weapons replaced their scaling with Engineering. Why wouldn't their bonus projectiles do the same? Might even be the Flamethrower Burn converts to Engineering like the blue fire turret's burn. Seems very intended to me, or else you wouldn't scale the turret damage up, or items like Sniper Rifle would be worthless by having a bonus effect that doesn't work.
@46:35 THAT however is definitely a bug. lol
I think on 39 it was missed what I meant. Focus on the Sniper Gun only. When I hover first over it, it shows a range scaling on it's own bullets. When I then hover over it the second time, it changed to Engineering. That's the bug
@@DexTag Yeah you're right, saw it later at 46. Wonder if that's just a visual issue or if the extra bullets were actually dealing that much.
The biggest enemy in that game? His own turret
I noticed in other videos that the Purple has better scaling then the red ones when cursed, idk whys but seems bugged no matter what char, sadly..
I have a problem with the game: Cursed or burning enemies are not highlighted on the screen. Anyone know how to fix that?
When there are so many bullets, you can't see and forget how to speak english
Is this on PC? If it is I am sure there are a lot of cheat mods you can do?
Turret is AMAZING at killing bosses though. Not on wave 20 and onwards though. :p
First i tried with taser hoping to get fireball, after 6 tries i gave up and started messing with shreder, on second try i got sniper gun and it was glorius
Ich liebe es wie manchmal die deutsche Seite bei dir rauskommt😂
I like turret-based characters since i can be as tanky as i can.
I really don't know if it could get more broken than this
"*German sputtering* ...Snail‽"
I swear these engines are doing more damage on danger 5
Hey dex can a fish hook get cursed to have higher chance of cursing?
Yes
I wish you used the cursed hook better. Locking items until they become cursed is so beneficial
It's a gambit, you lock your shop and it's still just a chance to curse. I had runs with a 45% Curse chance and out of 3 locked items, nothing got cursed over 3 waves, then I just bought them. The main issue being that inflation doesn't wait for them to get cursed. And while I'd argue most weapons and uniques are generally so good you want them cursed, you also delay any items or weapons you could've found in that time period.

Why did you not pick up materials at like 46.47
9:52 You forgot you grabbed to sharp bullet didn't you...
Obliterator is super fun on this guy
Can hooks get cursed? If so can you get one hook and leave the rest to get cursed? Can you get them to like 80% chance of getting the locked items cursed?
yeap, they can. I had hooks with 21-27%. Also there's character which starts with cursed hook =]
@@Evershifting That's so powerful. 80% seems achievable (15% for the normal hook and then you need an average of like 23% per hook over the other 3 hooks) if you wait for your additional hooks to turn cursed
Imagine endless baby with cursed hooks and shurikens, if you could pull it off that would be one hell of a run
Lute = Loot pretty much :)
builder turret with nuclear launcher :)
oh boy...
Anvil cursed must be nice
At round 50 you dodged 11 times in a row at least and with 54% chance for each that is 10638 on 1 😯
i like the longer videos
Damn, new Touhou game looks wild
Can't believe I just watched a 50 minute video
New weapon called Dex-troyer
Anyone else heard "Lifesteal if wife steal" at 21:59 ?
why no bandana?
Yeah the update fixed that, afaik. Upgrading no lknger diminishes cursed weapons
...that was a true bullet hell 😂
