Any tips for this one? Maybe switch to artillery?
you pretty strong with the artillery i kinda love the laser since you get dopel laser your good to go
The issue with lazer for this challenge is that it only hits one enemy at a time. I have. Feeling the AOE of artillery will work well since all the enemies are bunched together. Tesla also works well against enemies that are together but it's weak early.
remember you have REROLLS for gadgets 😅
@@agileflanker9989 I swear I mentioned the rerolls during at least one of the runs. I have not forgotten.
@@LucklessLovelocks I'm in agreement. The high starting damage with x2 shells means you can slam both sides of the tower early on if you rush it and then you dont hae to worry wbout melee fighters getting close and damaging your dome by the time you can hit them back.
Anybody else waiting for these daily uploads?? Loving the dome keeper content truly a great indie game! Making me think about making videos on it!
Do it! I was pretty zonked today so I almost didn't record. Didn't want to let you all down though.
@@LucklessLovelocks haha yeah hey not every day is a good one and I'd probably recommend just rushing offensive options earlier if you can just mixing it in the order like one upgrade earlier and bet you will save more health consistently and use less cobalt but also you could just get lucky on a run and have good spawns cause those were rough maps
Could be. I kind of already did that with the last run and it didn't seem to help. The issue is that you may survive an extra wave or two but then you've run out of easily diggable blocks. It ends up being a slightly slower loss but a loss nonetheless.
Many thanks for this series, getting to see the struggle is always as cool to me as getting to see the runs where you stomp everything!!!! 😁 Already wanting to watch the next ones but needing to sleep with urgency hahaha. 🤣 So, I'll be seeing you and the Keeper soon! 🙌
About these drones down in the caves, when I see them come rushing in a group, I tends to call them stormtroopers among myself. Haha😊
Now that the devs are playing with resources moving in directions other than down, I wonder if they will introduce things like currents in the mine? Have things flow in a direction while in the current.
Honestly there is a lot of design space available to make the mine more dynamic.
P.s I vote hard no on strip mining. It didn’t seem like you were having fun with it.
I like that idea a lot! They have a spot to make suggestions on their discord if you want to post it there. Maybe they'll implement it.
Oh cool! I’ll take a look.
Hey! I appreciate you putting time and effort into going through with viewer suggestions. Makes us feel special! Don't worry about what other people are saying, some of us do like this stuff and don't find it boring. I think Arty is probably the best tower for this fight since it starts with such a high damage and you can get x2 shells pretty early which would pribably help out a bunch.
Thanks! Other attempts incoming.
Very enjoyable episode, despite it being a struggle. Or perhaps because of it. :) I agree with you, without drones this seems very hard with the engineer.
Awesome tries! I think the sword is really strong for this, but you need to upgrade it at least twice. I look forward to your next attempts!
...that was a hell of an beating, you got this, I belive!!!🎉
My only suggestion with this challenge is upgrade weapon quick. I always felt like I was playing catch up but I couldn’t survive if I didn’t upgrade the weapon quick enough. It’s a solid challenge for sure.
Good try for sure. If you give it a go again maybe you can look for the shield dome with the electric shield. I can't remember which one. But it seems to work great. Sword dome for sure is awesome imo
I just bought this game after watching countless videos of it. I have been having a blast, but im salty about the fact that the «tower defence fest» on steam started the same day just hours after i had made my purchase
@@blobboble3260 awwww. Well it means the dev gets more money so they can make more great games!
This was incredibly hard and unlucky at the same time! Two times you even had the x-ray vision, yet not finding resources is infuriating. :/
Other, timed comments:
25:40 Single cobalt? No, it seems you didn't. Very, very unlucky run! I tried to spot them on the timelapse map, but due to my inabilty to see colors right, I can't. I think i might be in a very disadvantaged position to play this game.
28:40 Gets rid of the buzzsaw for the missile launcher: doesn't use it. :D
30:20 Buzzsaw handy? Maybe a MISSILE?! :D
32:40 He remembers!
40:55 I think there's a bug with the missiles. Earlier saw it as well. Like, there are restocking, but you can fire 2 only, and the grahic absolutely misses to show how many you have. Take a look.
i think you were right to pick the sword dome for this challenge - also i think with your playstyle of not carrying ressources to the base and coming in late maybe going for the lift and repellant (and going for early invoming enemy warning) could work. also also i think hammer is better than the missiles, it hits everything right from the start and has multiple uses, which works well with repellant slow. missiles take a bit of upgrading until they eventually get stronger than hammer. ok thats all the backseat gaming from me^^
That's not backseat gaming. I was asking for suggestions and I appreciate them! I for sure need to use hammer more.
Yo, about strip mining, honestly? It's really inefficient, just like you've been saying. Watching your videos until then, I noticed that your mining technique (that isn't weird, just really unique in a dope way) make you find ressources in a very constant pace. I don't know why the heck it happens, but for some reason you always manage to find the chunks of iron really quickly from begining to end. It feels like you have a radar inside your mind 😂
So... please, avoid strip mining. It's boring, slow, a waste of time. Your technique is intuitive, actually smart, and it's clear you enjoy the game way more this way than the other. 🙏
Couldn't agree more!
Nice, thats how you dig :D.
Btw when i am deeper, i dig to side every 6 blocks, not 3 blocks...you can with this method find all iron and later you will come and dig rest of water and cobalt.
@@fouzekbomba936 to each their own I suppose. Your deeper digging method makes sense. Strip mining in general isn't considered efficient in the higher level player community.
@@LucklessLovelocks well yeah, strip mining in lower part is kinda meh, thats why i am diging every 6 blocks...and yes, if i see soft rocks, i follow that path but still kinda doing strip mining.
Its not true strip mining but its more reliable version.
I think for this challenge is tesla dome OP, if you survive first waves.
Fair. Your technique lower down is pretty much what I do then!
Hi. Since you told me to buy the Game, i tell you my Experience so far. The Resource Packer is secretly OP and goes very well with early Droneyard. Even in Basekit it packs four Resources into one "Pack", which has the Weight of one Resource. So you can carry 12 Resources "packed" without any Speedloss. And the Drones are also able to pick these Packs up. They prefer the normal resources tho and will go for them first. The Iron Worms with Speed Upgrade are like little Crackies. They start Spewing Iron like a Mashine Gun. They also selflocate Iron Deposits, simply drop them near it and they attach themselfs to it. Works in ALL directions. Even upside down. Hope this helps a bit.
Indeed it does thanks. Glad I told you to buy the game?
@@LucklessLovelocks So far i havent regrettet it
@@schattenschuetze2867 excellent 👍
This level is relatively easy if you use laser dome + saws + droneyard shooters. When it comes to challenges (they add more damage to monsters) you should do an iron speedrun at the beginning to improve your main weapon and laser cannon movement speed. Don't make the mistake of carrying 4 iron units, carry only 3, and make 2 trips, it will be faster and more effective. These are some tips I can give you to improve. I apologize if I write badly in English, I'm using a translator 😂
Are you sure that's faster though? Sounds funky to me. You completed it in this way on Challenge and not normal right? I just think if you take 4 up once you can then upgrade carry capacity and or speed which will improve the speed of the next carry back. I could see bringing 3 back early being faster if the drone grabs the 4th for you for the upgrade.
@@LucklessLovelocks The main mistake is that you spend iron to evolve the drill, when in reality the stone in the first layers is soft, so it is not necessary, you should use that iron for the main weapon of the dome (damage + movement speed)
That's not a mistake in my experience. High level players pretty much always get drill upgrades first AND bring back 4 iron until the drone helps them (see Zimny here ua-cam.com/video/7rE9VZ5zYys/v-deo.html although this is Prestige). The first layer is soft but it still takes multiple hits to dig through many of the blocks without an upgrade(even more if they have resources in them). It's possible Zimny is wrong here but he's one of the best players in the world and he's helped me out a ton so I trust him. If it works for you I say go for it but it's pretty established that mining upgrade is the first thing to get.
Taking the gravity lift over melee damage reduction was a crazy choice that first run.
@oygemprime3864 crazy is a bit harsh but you may be right that it was the wrong choice.
I enjoyed seeing the new supplement. Picking it was the right choice for content and exploration! @LucklessLovelocks
you did good non the less dude!! swap up the dome type next time and maybe that'll do it. GL next time!!
Thanks! The next attempts are already up for ya.
The gravitational lift says it gives you a "partial" refund on resources spent on orbs, but it looks like you actually got back even more than you'd spent for some reason? You'd bought 2 extra orbs, costing a total of 2 iron and 2 water, then when you took the supplement you instantly received 3 iron and 3 water.
Hmmm. Something to keep an eye on!
@@LucklessLovelocks In your swiss cheese run you get 2 iron and water despite not buying any extra upgrades for the lift. I guess you probably get iron and water equal to half your orbs, including the four orbs you start with for free.
Some feedback :
- First of all, you've been pretty unlucky with the map layout RNG of the first runs. Look at the map at 26:32 for instance, there were indeed cobalt and more iron at your depth level, but at right side separated by an unbreakable wall, thus unattainable (unless you unlock power Drill) . Seems the RNG calculation takes in consideration resources amounts and variety to maintain balance, but probably doesn't take into account this type of "wall" configuration. It's kind of a flaw game balancing speaking, but I would rather say that its the beauty of roguelike/lite.
+ You've found some usefull supplement (electrified hull/ reverse gravity lift) but, unfortunately too late for them to pay off.
Anyhow the odd were against you.
- The sprites for resources have been "improved" with the last patch.
- You don't have to switch to another dome type. Sword is pretty apt in this scenario.
- When on such hard modes, bringing resources is critical. Then, is it worth it to sacrifice a way back to the dome carrying a gadget instead of resources ? There's nothing wrong leaving a gadget/supplement aside and focusing solely on resources. Especially in very early stage where every resource is critical and you need to upgrade your base abilities (Mining and combat) before opting for more options. Also don't be late to a fight.
- Know your upgrades (Given your experience I think you've just forgot) but for instance Snare Roots with the Orchard would have been very good in this melee scenario. You could also retry it with Shield + Electro blast.
- About the Saw, I kind of agree that it didn't pay off. but Like the missiles tt really needs to be upgraded to be effective, but I assure you it can get pretty strong . I don't know, Maybe devs should buff it a little in its early levels.
- for future runs. Don't overlook Blast Mining and Probe. They're old gadgets, and they tend to be shunned by newer gadgets. But they've been improved and their upgrade trees were also reworked.
- Drones are kinda OP at the moment, devs already increased the price of speed upgrade with the last update.
Frankly I really enjoyed watching you play in this difficulty. Even if you lose. Your decision making is more critical in this scenarios. On "regular" Guild Assignment are really a walk in a park.
And you are skilled enough.
skip this strip mining technique, that is boring :p
Agreed!
Sry no tips but the first comment (;
I think the wave duration was way too short. You could hardly get to a place nefore you jad to go nack up.
Omg this is bad playing
Can you suggest something I can do to improve?
Anything? I have a question for you. Did you create your name by just slamming your face against the keyboard?
