Yeah I just realized that this video when someone mentioned Oblivion reducing the boss meter. Previously I had thought it was an indication of how much it will fill the boss meter
Best series on the channel right now, this is fantastic to watch. Got to take Oblivion on farming / resource gen runs though, get rid of the worst threats and you can loop endlessly.
What makes this stand out to you, if you don't mind me asking? This game seems fun to me. But I'll also admit it seems like a very basic premise, that doesnt allow that much of a variance in strategy.
@@smellyarmpit23 Remember that this is chapter one that he is playing, with the starting class (and each class has stats that are unique to them apparently), with only half his gear slots unlocked and a bunch of a cards still undiscovered. I'm hoping that this is just the tip of the iceburg, and that there is a bunch more content just as interesting and creative as this still to be seen.
@@smellyarmpit23 i just vibe with it so much. Its not overdone and its great seeing all the synergies and i want to go find them all. But its not like "secrets" in games where its so obscure nobody could find it. I just really want to hit the top of the tech tree
A few pro strats I've figured out: 1. Since a common armor piece doesn't give you anything but max HP, there's no reason to equip one (not even as your first armor) unless you're actually about to die. Hold onto them and hold out for a blue, yellow, or orange armor, and you can get that much more metal without actually hurting your build at all. It's only a little, but it's essentially free. 2. You only need two rocks next to a treasury to ensure all the meadows next to it bloom, if the rocks are directly adjacent to it (making a horizontal or vertical line). This lets you fit 6 blooming meadows around a treasury instead of 4. 3. As someone else mentioned, the Lich's palaces won't spawn on occupied tiles. Fill 'em with (ransacked) villages on the approach side (so you heal before the fight), battlefields on the exit side so you get the treasure chests immediately, and whatever else surrounding them. 4. Typically, the Lich will spawn after the 5th loop if you're playing every tile. Ideally, you'll create ransacked villages on the second loop so that they'll turn into super-villages in time for the boss fight; realistically, you'll usually only be able to create them on the 3rd loop, so be careful not to fill the bar until you've finished the 6th loop and converted those ransacked villages. You want to fight the boss after a big heal, not after a big fight! After the 3rd loop, just create normal villages for the heals and quests. 5. You can place blood groves next to other blood groves instead of next to a regular grove; that will create a "hungry" grove. It'll kill enemies a little faster (at 20% instead of 15%), but it will also attack you for a chunk of damage in every fight; I don't think it's worth it. Just place your regular groves smart, so each individual blood grove can cover a lot of the path.
Bit of a disagree on hp only armor. It seems to give you the hp as a percentage so equipping a high hp piece at low hp percentage barely does anything at all
@@eewweeppkk yes, only thing I'd "correct" as well. Since damage is flat while the hp from the armor is relative, it's not that easy to just let it go and only equip after you found a higher than common armor, unless you never take damage (due to regen, vamp or evasion).
I pre-ordered this game from watching your videos. I've been so hooked on the demo. I beat it already, but I still pog around my RPG racetrack a few times a day just because I want more.
Music in this game is such an outrageous bop. Thanks for this incredible content, Brother. Can't wait to purchase it once on PC and again for it's inevitable switch release.
The sentence ‘what’s better - bright orange or pale yellow’ fits NL discussing loot just as well as it fits me asking the staff as I try to pick from the wall of mad sodas in Asian supermarkets
Through the strength of your enthusiasm and coverage, NL, I went ahead and bought the game and sank 10 hours into the demo. Your excitement for the game really translated well to me. I initially was turned away from your first video--it just didn't seem like my style, and I'm awful at roguelikes. But the autobattler mechanic throughout just really clicks, and had it not been for you, I never would've given this game a look. Thank you!
I can honestly say this is my favorite game I've seen NL play in a long time, and I've been watching both on twitch and youtube for a *long* time. Am super excited for the full release to try myself, as well as watching egg play all the more!
I don't normally comment on videos but checked to see the defense from skilled armor is retroactive you jumped 4 defense after taking it. Been really enjoying watching these so far. 😄
pretty much maxed out the demo, my camp has a hundred farms filling the space, unlocked pretty much everything thats unlockable, filled a map with villages and vampire mansions only, cant wait for the full game to come out DangGreed
I have bought and played most games after watching you play them but most of the time I'm more entertained mybwatching you play, but loop hero is the best, I love the series and I love the game thanks for the years of content
Big mountain is the same as other mountains, except for the +150 (or whatever) max HP, and that any rocks used in its creation are upgraded to essentially be mountains.
Don’t forget to prioritize filling the squares around the camp (since boss temple squares can’t overwrite anything already filled in)! It makes the boss much easier when it has no buffs.
"they didnt see me load it up" the demo version has "loop hero demo" displayed in the bottom right corner at all times, so if you were on the demo, they would easily be able to tell, odds are they mistook the version number in the corner for saying "demo" due to watching on a low resolution
2 things I found in the demo that I hope stay in the full game: if you drop a village infront of a goblin camp. it won't spawn any more goblins (unless it is ransacked) you can surround the start camp to get rid of lick palaces.
Stacking Vampirism * Counter with Buckler perk is pretty OP, especially combined with blade of dawn and a little defense. You can basically stall with self-heal until you nuke a fight, and the heals pad your odds of countering to outpace the enemy on damage dealt.
It’s more about the resources and cards than loot but they do take up too many terrain pieces. Your usually wasting either blooming meadows or mountain synergies to open them.
@@Jaydee8652 It's more that NL doesn't know the best way to place tiles, it's best to place them near an existing mountain range then place more rock/mountain stuff around them to retain the bonuses instead he checkerboards it because for some reason he compartmentalizes different terrain pieces
I love grove alley but then again i used to make a skeleton alley. This chst section has leveled me up quite a bit Edit: but rocks at diagonals to get +10 or more from mountains :) and load up the area around your camp
11:14... Keeps forgetting all the things apply retroactively, "adds 1 armor after every loop" might as well read "adds (current loop number minus 1) armor now and 1 more armor per loop afterwards".
Fyi, the lich fight and the chef dialogue from building refuge are new. The chef will mentioned what he 'might' did before become a cook. And Lich will ramble how he still alive and be defeated again.
3x3 rocks to make mountain range. Place treasure troves so that 3 meadows will be adjacent with a good crystal spot (per trove). The meadows will carry you in the early game. Then villages n what not will make the late game viable. Have fun figuring out your build mah dude :)
This man is killing me. Some videos I watch and root for him to succeed, some I want him to be punished for his ignorance. I wish this, however, not out of malice of my heart, but because that would make a good narrative of hubris and downfall. Anyway, this man swapped lvl 8 common to lvl 5 rare (because it's rare, duh), then swapped that to a lvl 7 common (higher base stats). Why do people who we love hurt us so much?...
Character: talks about highway robbery and stealing peoples purses
"oh its the chef dialog!"
Lionheart pog
Heres some tech: The symbols above the cards indicate where they can be placed: White dot: road; Black dot: void; Half White: roadside.
Thank you so much, I was trying to puzzle out what that meant for so long!!
Wow, I thought those were for rarity up until now!
Yeah I just realized that this video when someone mentioned Oblivion reducing the boss meter. Previously I had thought it was an indication of how much it will fill the boss meter
Is it only me or isn't it green instead of white though?
The Skilled Armourer perk is applied retroactively, so its never too late to take it
man that's some new tech! thanks for knowledge bomb
even if it wasn't, it was literally the first chance to get it.
What about the potion damage one? I think every perk is I just want to be sure
Best series on the channel right now, this is fantastic to watch.
Got to take Oblivion on farming / resource gen runs though, get rid of the worst threats and you can loop endlessly.
That music that starts when the lich spawns is a real banger

Double the wood generation huh? Sounds like me at 2am

Totally agree.

If you build around the campfire, the lich won't get his palace.
What he said 😁
the most important trick
I like spamming battlegrounds around the camp
if you meet me at grumm's tavern...I will show you where the treasure is hidden

i cannot wait for this game to come out, friday can't come fast enough!!!!
Definitely an Instant buy, this game has so much charm
but it comes out on the fourth, which is Thursday. Even sooner!
The sentence ‘what’s better - bright orange or pale yellow’ fits NL discussing loot just as well as it fits me asking the staff as I try to pick from the wall of mad sodas in Asian supermarkets
Liked for the wholesome "fun beers" gift from Kate alone.
(Also enjoying Loop Hero very much.)
other videos: I sleep
NL plays Loop Hero: I Click
i'm so pogged for this. i saw that the last episode was released 23h ago and with daily uploads i was like. "1h past my bedtime. who could that hurt"
NL: We arent spawning the boss
Also NL: We must do ______ for when we inevitably fight the boss
I mean, he needs those logs one way or another
Not saying it went badly, was just funny how back and forth he was
The man knows himself he knows he will forget the the first so should prepare for it
I'm a simple man; I see Loop Hero and I click like.

His unwillingness to put treasuries in the corner disturbs me lol
This series is givin' me LIFE right now!
I would love this game to come to the Switch! It will be an instant buy, thanks for introducing me to Loop Hero!
Seeing Kate pop in, just make one comment, two hops, then peace-ing out, was really charming.
NL has got me super hyped for this. Each of his new vids gets the juices flowin in anticipation boyyyy
I have bought and played most games after watching you play them but most of the time I'm more entertained mybwatching you play, but loop hero is the best, I love the series and I love the game thanks for the years of content
Nl gets rid of lv 8 armor loses 200 health for like 8% of evasion, later gets lv 7 armor for
I'm loving these videos so much! Game pre-ordered POG
Big mountain is the same as other mountains, except for the +150 (or whatever) max HP, and that any rocks used in its creation are upgraded to essentially be mountains.
Plus it spawns harpies.
Couldn't imagine playing without the auto pausing, NL is a trooper for doing it that way.
I don't know if i can handle so much pog in my life, but im ready for more.
We look very similar irl. I found this game because of you. Thank you. Great content.
Ooooohhh the elden pog, you couldn't even imagine...
I love this series and watching your chess too. Keep it up man
*Gets skilled armorer from the first level up*
NL: i think we are a bit too late for skilled armorer
best series by far, love this game!
I LOVE this series great job eggg
Watching NL play games makes me feel a little better about how shit I am at them
had to pre order it.. so excited to play it.
Loving this series, waiting on March 4th 😁
liking this series alot

Stacking Vampirism * Counter with Buckler perk is pretty OP, especially combined with blade of dawn and a little defense. You can basically stall with self-heal until you nuke a fight, and the heals pad your odds of countering to outpace the enemy on damage dealt.
I just made dinner and came on to see if u uploaded loop hero in time looks like I was in luck
Log build is heavy pog
I've been unimpressed with treasuries so far, but impressed with this series. Pog on

You can farm metamorphosis by voiding one tile of the big mountain. You will get metamorphosis when voiding and after replacing voided tile.
2:47 yes! 4:20 thats the way
I love grove alley but then again i used to make a skeleton alley. This chst section has leveled me up quite a bit
Edit: but rocks at diagonals to get +10 or more from mountains :) and load up the area around your camp
Pogginess overload
I've been early every episode of this series by pure luck.
Yo, same
Every enemy killed in the blood grove gives wood. Also the blood grove only attacks you if there's no grove next to it.
11:14... Keeps forgetting all the things apply retroactively, "adds 1 armor after every loop" might as well read "adds (current loop number minus 1) armor now and 1 more armor per loop afterwards".
cant wait to start playing it while homeshooling on the 04.03
This is a great game and I need more
The soundtrack is BUMPIN
Can't wait for NL to learn he can continue the loop even after beating the boss
NL: plays game
Me: gets wallet out reluctantly
I once found a beer called pogalicious IPA. I instantly bought it. It was pretty good too!
Fyi, the lich fight and the chef dialogue from building refuge are new.
The chef will mentioned what he 'might' did before become a cook.
And Lich will ramble how he still alive and be defeated again.
I hope they add very slow speeds to this game. I'd love to have it on a second monitor going 0.25x speed.
YOU TRADED GOOD ARMOR FOR "GOOD" ARMOR AND THEN BACK TO THE SAME LEVEL ARMOR.
you are a funny man
The third armor was a level lower than the first
just here to get wood - northernlion 2021
Hey nl, hope youre having a good night pog
good intel on the field camp thing
Reporting for duty, ready to pog.
I think NL might be learning that stacking the monster tiles one right after the other might not be the wisest move.
3x3 rocks to make mountain range. Place treasure troves so that 3 meadows will be adjacent with a good crystal spot (per trove). The meadows will carry you in the early game. Then villages n what not will make the late game viable. Have fun figuring out your build mah dude :)
Oh yeah, btw I forgot to mention that you are going to want to get plenty of crystal and meadow combos set up.
I sense whenever the ep is released
30 days till Repentance lets gooo babyyy.
this game is super pog
I actually want more loop hero
I know this is 2 years late, but if you fill the tiles around the camp, you won't need to oblivion any boss buildings
Posted 1 minute ago, don’t mind if I do
Wow early love you NL ;*
Heavy POG

I wonder what happens if the treasury is the placed close enough to the road that a blood grove could be placed in the intervening space

are you going to play more loop hero in the future or stream it?
Counter, counter, and counter paired with buckler and more counter.

"i dont want to destroy the campfire"
well i have good news, you cant, which you would already know if *you looked at the screen while playing*
The man talks nonstop for hours while gaming, cut him some slack. No need to be so combative.
