Ah yes, my favourite debuff to apply to enemies: *Prolapse*
I apply that to my boyfriend.
@@sheesh742 hey, i was about to write that :D
It's a buff
@@sheesh742 dayum..
@@sheesh742sheesh man...
Quick note, tentabauble's chance to proc is not linear, it is actually hyperbolic, meaning that 5 tentabaubles isn't a 25% chance to proc, it's a 20% chance
Can u explain how does that work
@@jelp8768 Instead of adding a basic +5% chance to the proc chance (which would make it 10%) it follows the formula of 1 - 1 / (1 + 0.05 ⋅ amount) which, to simplify it, makes every tentabauble do less and less as the overall effect on the equation is felt less and less. Consider it like 1+10 and 1+100, while this is an extreme example, the principle is the same; the 1 has more of an effect on the 10 than it does on the 100.
Basically it’s kinda like stacking tougher times
@@jelp8768 you would need infinity tentabaubles to reach 100% proc chance... However, you only really need like 10-100 for good enough.
@@_-___________not true, because of how ror2 stores data there is a number that will give you perma block
you can get the zoe by getting a void family event and having the boss be the giant crab, and getting a boss item from the tele
Doesn't family events only have Luke a 5% chance to spawn
I was about to say this
I had one drop when I got one of those events and I didn’t know it was because of the void devs being a boss. I thought I must have used my tricorn without knowing or something.
This is how I found this item for the first and only time so far, glacial family of crabs boss.
I'm much more likely to get a gun and see a crab. That method sounds like a 1/1000 chance.
Also might as well add, if you have Brilliant Behemoth, if the attack that procs it procs lost seer lenses, if the explosion touches the teleporter boss it instakills them too. Only Mithrix and the Voidling are immune to this interaction.
Does that mean you have to shoot near the legs of the boss and not directly at him? Or am I allowed to shoot at the boss itself and hope that the behemoth explosion with proc void crit afterwards?
@@zafarb4219 If the original attack would proc Void Crit, Behemoth procs void crit despite not having a proc chance
@@zafarb4219 You actually have to insta-kill an enemy near the boss so that the AOE of the Brilliant Behemoth reaches it. When shooting at the ground the game does not attempt to trigger the effect, only when shooting an enemy. This is evidenced by the fact that shooting the ground with 200 Lenses (typically a 100% chance to insta-kill) and a Behemoth will damage normal enemies without insta-killing them. Your attack must make direct contact with an enemy for the effect to have a chance of triggering.
The catch with bosses is that they have a co-efficient of 0, meaning they will never trigger the effect for any attacks that hit them even though the enemy type itself is not immune to the effect. That's why Lenses still work on Magma Worms, Beetle Queens, etc. and can be insta-killed directly outside of the teleporter event. Those types of enemies are not inherently bosses, they outside of boss fights until much later into the run. It's possible to get swarms of a normal enemy as the teleporter boss in which case they behave the exact same as
Mithrix and Voidling are unique in that they are the only enemies in the game to be immune to the effect itself, regardless of whether it procs or not. Although it should be noted that while Twisted Scavengers accessed through the celestial portal aren't immune, only 1 of the 4 Scavengers can spawn monsters, meaning the other 3 do not offer opportunities to utilize this tech. This can be circumvented by enabling the Artifact of Chaos and sacrificing one of your allies although it's very risky as your survivor is not immune to the insta-kill without the affects of Tougher Times or Safer Spaces.
@zafarb4219 basically, behemoth makes the instability hit splash damage
I find it intersting how the 4 lowest void item's normal item counterparts are amazing items. truly shows how much replacing bad with good and vice versa matters in rankings
ATG, Wisp, and Ukulele are fantastic as well. The difference is the void counterparts are equally or more overpowered
no shit
Instantly to the point, no clickbait thumbnail, good explanations, good placements. Great video, great creator.
Benthic Bloom is one of my favorite items. Its bad, or at least has the potential to actively cripple your run, but there's something so satisfying about your build changing every stage for me. The fact that it replaces 57 Leaf hurts it a lot as well sadly.
it's even more painful when it makes more clovers.
its so much fun when it works, i had one change 9 crowbars to 9 bands on the moon
@@wingdingfontbro Eventually everything becomes a red item
If only it didn't eat all your items stacks...
It does mean that you don't have to worry about the 57 Leaf Clover causing proc chains that turn the game into a slideshow or detonate your PC
13:55 I think the most important thing of this one is how you know exactly when you're going to block the attack and can plan accordingly. Tougher times works, or not, independently from your skill, but safer spaces works better the better you are at the game.
May I also add the gesture and blast shower build. Doesn't sound broken till you realize that the cool down for safer spaces and both bands are considered "debuffs"
Safer spaces=free void cradles and sac. Altars
Something most people dont know about benthnic bloom, it upgrades items into a higher rarity of the same type, as in damage items stay damage items, healing stays healing, and utility stays utility
In the Needletick section, you didn't point out that since Shatterspleen can still apply bleed, with a high enough crit chance + Shatterspleen, Needletick becomes the blatantly obvious choice.
Wait does shatterspleen+tritip not double bleed?
@@jucom756 I'm pretty sure it does apply 2 stacks of bleed each, but there's also something to be said about using bleed+collapse together for items like Death Mark. It's ultimately up to personal preference and current build - I personally prefer needletick in that scenario just because double debuff looks cooler, even if it's less practical.
@@coiledAgentim not that good but apparently they “nerfed tri tip and shatterpleen stacking” and thats directly from either Race or Disputed Origin i cant remember
@@jucom756 No, you can only apply one bleed per hit, but if you have polylute and plasma shrimp with 100% of crit and shatterspleen, it gets pretty fun.
@@coiledAgent before SotV you could, but they removed it with the addition of needletick
the larva's downsides only apply if you already have a dio's, which is pretty rare in any given run. even then you get a second extra life, so i would rank it higher
i think in singleplayer, unless you have a dios, its an obvious pick up. you would never reroll because it would become a bloom, and it gives you another chance, which regardless of the possibility to cripple you, is a good thing. however i honestly would never pick it up in multiplayer because you come back the next stage anyway as long as youre not the last to die, and the possibility of my friend(s) finishing the stage is way better to me than the possibility of it changing my 3 bands and charged perf on loader into a zoea and a singularity
Note on voidsent flame, it requires YOU to hit the target FIRST. It doesn't activate if any of your drones or other allies make that first hit, meaning any builds with a lot of allies really cripples it.
Can we just appreciate that really smooth transition at 2:41?
Silky smooth.
no
Whaaaat?! Thx for pointing it out
that was kinda clean ngl
Holy I didnt even notice it until now
5:30 yeah I had to double take when I first heard “Prolapse”
It is worth mentioning that with a behemoth the lost seers glasses can one shot bosses. If you 1shot an enemy near the boss, the explosion damage will be equal to that of the 1 shot and hit the boss, dealing an insane amount of damage
10:45 Also consider that Voidsent deals damage to the enemy you hit, Will of the wisp does not, because the enemy is... dead. So when you don't have enemies grouped together Will of the Wisp does nothing, while Voidsent flame still does damage. And when you have 3 enemies, each explosion deals 260%x3 (one of them without fallof, the others with falloff), while Will of the wisp will deal 350%x2 (with falloff) Unless there are a lot of stacks and/or a lot of enemies inside the aoe, Voidsent will actually deal more total damage.
voidsent also doesnt work if the enemy dies in 1 hit
Also voidsent is really good at taking out flying enemies
one note about the plasma shrimp: the game doesn't state it anywhere, but I've found that there is actually a difference in how the ATG and the shrimp acquire their targets. If the target they are locked on to dies, ATG missiles will simply lock on to a new target immediately, whereas shrimp missiles will simply impact the area where the enemy was and explode.
In actual gameplay this difference rarely matters, but it can be a detriment in niche builds such as pure-melee Mul-T.
I think singularity band having a reduced cooldown and more damage would put it on par with the other void items
the dmg is fine but lower the cooldown. It has utility and cc and also proccs items really well, on multiple targets to boot. The cooldown hurts it, and it's not as reliable as the bands for guaranteeing good damage in your build.
@@BigDBrian the damned thing can't even contain mithrix
@@BigDBrian It also can't be used in blast shower builds like regular bands can, where you get 2x band procs per blast shower refresh compared to the 0 with void band. even if it gave you the refresh on vband it would still be a tough sell I think but that would at least give it some merit as like a solid, consistent aoe proc chain starter that wasn't crippled by the crazy cooldown.
@@selearth3123 wait blast shower doesn't refresh it? that's stupid. This game makes no sense.
@@selearth3123what are you on about? Void Band has always been refreshed by blast shower. That interaction was not removed.
"Am I saying prolapse?" *continues calling it prolapse*
ngl. psyched out when I heard Chrono Trigger music.
the only problem i have with safer spaces is that unlike tougher times, its actually used by mithrix. if you stack it up enough, mithrix becomes borderline *immortal.*
Edit: How on earth did my comment explode this much?
Does mithrix orbs damage get negated or is he immune to that damage too?
@@shaunhayes3072doesn’t mithrix only use a certain number of items, if you pick up safer spaces late it’s still good to take more. Though I agree it’s usually unnecessary anyway
@@Barely_Edited If you get it early enough, Mithrix takes your items from right to left, newest to oldest.
@@Barely_Edited Yes, but you have to have quite a lot of items for that to matter, most runs it won't come into effect unless you're looping multiple times
I don't think that is the case anymore. If I recall correctly that was patched.
2:40 bro dropped the hardest risk of rain 2 transition and thought we wouldn't notice
11:06 One important detail to add I think is that this tier list was made with solo play in mind. I feel like the ranking of some items would be different when playing with 4 players. This is especially true for Voidsent Flame, because it is waaaaay harder to proc in a 4 player lobby than Will O Wisp.
Multiplayer lobby also reduce the risk of picking a void item worse than its normal version, which would make corrupted band and glasses a better rank imo. They both are fine items, the reason they are that low in the tier list is because their normal version are waaay better. But in a 4 player lobby, another player than the one playing loader could still pick up the corrupted band and benefit from its bonus, without sacrificing anything.
I will say that lost seer's lenses can actually go from mid to AMAZING if you manage to get your hands on a behemoth (or several). Because of a quirk in the way that proc chance works, if you trigger the instant kill on an enemy, it will also instant kill any other enemy caught in the blast and, because of an oversight in how boss immunity is calculated, that includes bosses themselves.
7:14 Very important you kept that one single Lepton Daisy
I do prefer the normal ukulele on railgunner because she pumps enough single target damage anyway. Also love the item transitions
i prefer ukulele most of the time because im not that good at movement and having crowd control helps not getting run over by hordes of smaller enemies
Lost seers lenses is actually a unique damage type, so, except for the mythrix fight, if you have behemoth and lost seer a small enemy next to a boss, the behemoth will insta kill everything in the behemoth radius including the boss.
we're not gonna talk about the Transcendence/Plasma shrimp combo? that shits op af
Now for the TimeStamps:

I’m actually fucking dying at how aggressively he pronounces the B in *B* ungus
Fun safer spaces fact: the cooldown technically counts as a debuff and can be removed with blast shower, which can lead to the most busted immortality builds I have ever seen
You're telling me a shrimp fired that missile?
it’s always a great day when my favorite grandpa uploads a video of him yelling at the rain
A note on voidsent, which might be a bug, but it seems that drones don't actually activate it (or at least chaingunner drones don't activate it), but they do make enemies not have full health, so if you have chaingunner drones there are a ton of enemies that just don't explode ever. Also the damage loss is made up for a little bit by being somewhat usefull on single target enemies since the explosion affects the exploding enemy.
i like taking singularity on engineer with stationary turrets, because you just see a bunch of monsters getting grouped together to finish off with some aoe
I really enjoy Needletick on Captain, Cap has a very low fire rate and x0.8 proc coefficient on hits which means he often loses bleed stacks, Needletick is often just as good on him, especially with the DLC since finding Dagger printers is less likely now.
Also key is so powerful that just hoarding Rusted Keys until the end is a viable strategy.
Once again very cool intro. Thanks disputed, very cool
For those wondering what the chances of getting different rarities of void items when you have the vanilla void mod on which adds new void items, the chances are roughly 47.2% for both whitesa nd greens with a 5.6% chance for reds. 10 whites, 10 greens and 3 reds.
Wrong
16:03
42% white, 51% green, 7% red
@@Zurrke did you read the comment at all?
@@Zurrke I remember seeing another video going over how the chances actually work. I don’t remember it right now but if you research it then you should be able to find the same one I did.
HE HAD NO INTRO! GIVE THIS MAN A LIKE!!!!!
The void items seem to be really interesting to play with. Can't wait to play the DLC on console when I am just as old as you, Grandpa!
On a side note it's also a bit odd to me that the void items are generally considered as an upgrade or side grade, even though pretty much half of them can be extremely detrimental to your run.
Which half? Most of the time the only ones I really won't take are void band, void glasses, and benthic (if I'm playing a serious run, otherwise I love benthic, so much fun), the rest I would take far more often than not, though some are of course survivor/run specific
Not really. Only void band, crit, and bloom are never-picks, while needletick, lysate cell, and tentabauble really depend on context.
Contrast this with the rest of the list: safer spaces, polylute, plasma shrimp, and key are all run-carryingly good. Wungus and void sent flame are both great with no downside, while larva is only mostly good but replaces a red item so it doesn't _really_ have a downside.
So really it's 3 bad, 3 context-dependent, 3 great, and 4 absolute auto-picks. Also keep in mind that reds are rare, so it's really more like 2/11 items that are extremely bad, while 6/11 are always worth taking.
Lysate cell is very good for Rex, you can have infinite flowers and block mithrix or how many enemies do you want.
I have done this its just like the tentabauble. just need to hit him with 2 flowers and hes stuck
Love that there’s no intro, I read the title to the video, I know what I’m getting into
Nice video grandad!
However, two notes here:
1) Old seer lenses are even better on bandit because instakill with the revolver counts towards desperado stacks or lights out cooldown refreshing.
2) Corrupted Dios are decent equivalent to regular ones on engi because even if you don’t plan on dying yourself, your turrets are not that tough in early game. So larvae can help them stay alive longer and even make use of genesis loop. At least once per turrets life cycle as it is turned immediately into zoea.
14:34 i was trying to remember where I heard this song before and as soon as I did my whole childhood flashed before my eyes
i hate it when the swirly appears on me and i know the prolapse is imminent 😢
Plasma shrimp and transcendence is absurd
a little bit of a note with Lystate Cell, i figured out that if you get Essence of Heresy to replace Captain's R ability, then get lystate, it actually doesn't give extra stacks of the R for whatever reason. :,(
the coolest thing with the larva is your video with engineer where your turrets intentionally died, dealing the tentacle explosion and then summoning tons of void allies
Id like to point out benthic bloom on bandit is actually really good, a heart light afterburner + brainstalks/alien head leads to almost permanent uptime on invisibility. And it doesn’t matter how slow you move if your enemies can’t see you to hit you
I find the drawbacks of loaing whites with benthic bloom to be a lot less significant if you have a spinel tonic build, as your stats go through the roof with it. And if uou want another equipment alongside it, you can always use retool Mul-T to gave the benefits of tonic alongside a second equipment.
to my modders out there: with the zets aspects mod if you get the void aspect it comes with built in safer spaces and idk if its just me but this aspect drops way more than others, so you can have safer spaces and tougher times and its as op as it sounds. id say this aspect drops around every 1/15 or 1/20 games
I just wanted to know what mod you use for the faster printers and scrappers as it looks like an amazing QoL mod and i couldnt find any mention of a mod section in discord or the comments
I agree with your stance on benthic bloom and adding to it is at least in my experience it's low appearance rate. However, bc of that I often take it if it appears and in doing so found how ridiculous bottled chaos is when stacked lol
i think the void clover, while certainly not always good, is really fun.
one time that sucker dropped from a cradle right next to my spawn on stage 1, and that run was absolutely glorious!
Instant sub because you just got into it right away
Ik this was 10 months ago but I feel like I should mention that singularity band can be really good for railgunner cuz it sucks all the enemies into one spot so you can just use a piercing shot to kill them all (also early gane if you don't have the bands unlocked)
Something that should move lost seer lenses further towards the bottom of the list is the bug that has existed since the launch of survivors of the void where instant killing void seed enemies doesn't actuallh reduce the enemy count, meaning the void seed will never go away.
For voidsent it should be mentioned that it immediately turns to being one of the worst items in the game when taking drones or especially in multiplayer since it becomes really inconsistent to proc since an enemy needs full health. It becomes better once everyone starts having their own but since void items arent too common to come by its really hard for a group to each get their own voidsent flame
Corridors of Time kicking in was godly
As an engineer main I laughed at the fact that he used every Alt weapon other than his grenade launcher primary because of how useless it is
Oh no how am i supposed to win my benthic bloom run with 12 spare drone parts, 17 dios, and 15 behemoths! I have no movement speed!
I’m immediately liking the video because there was no annoying intro, just straight into the meat and potatoes
I have another situation where you'd pick up Singularity Band.
You're an absolute newbie like me and haven't unlocked the other bands so you literally couldn't get them even if you wanted to, but you can still get the corrupted version for some reason (same with Benthic Bloom, saw it pop up during the run when I was unlocking the clover and that one Commando ability for doing 20 stages without a lunar item).
Something worth noting about the void-bands is that they have a proc of 1.0, where the other two bands do not (both 0). This doesn't make it good, but it certainly makes it interesting. I don't think it would take much to make it feel at parity with the bands it replaces when you consider it can proc behemoth, sticky bomb, atg, etc. and with enough of them it's a good bit of total damage into a good bit of total damage.
I'm currently using a vands configuration mod and I've got the CD reduced to 10, and the damage bumped to 275% [+275%] to be in the middle-point between runald's/kjaro's and I've had some varied results between survivors (which is good, it shouldn't be great for everyone). If I get truly busted with the modified version I'm using I might nerf it slightly, probably make the CD 15, so it can proc 10s after it pops instead of 10 seconds after it procs. I was using 200% [+200%] with a bigger area for a little while but it was quickly overtaking the stage and *everything* in it takes the full damage, so while middling in damage generally speaking it was a bit much, hitting everything in the fight every 10 seconds.
If you find yourself with shatterspleen, having lots of lens glasses will always guarantee bleed to proc because of your constant crits. In this case the tri tip is useless and needle tick would be great. Also adding an extra debuff to help with death mark
Plasma Shrimp is my favorite void item. I can have a build with no damage items so far and it enhances it enough where i'm not stressing anymore. It also pairs so well with Shattering Justice and Scorpion when I'm trying to complete my death mark build. Shatterspleen crit builds are too valuable to lose it to void friends, and since Tri-tip doesn't stack wtih shatterspleen, needletick just becomes that cherry on top to throw my lazer boomarang at a group of enemies and listen to the sweet sounds of Shrimp and Predatory Instinct's loud crunching noises. (2 amazing items that have the most obnoxious sounds)
Benthic bloom may be uncontrollable, but I pick it up every time, it's just so damn fun
6:55 forgot to mention us engineers with bungus spam
I remember when Singularity Bands looped into themselves, causing a loop of constant explosion damage that scared even further and further up.
I really like singularity band on guys with high aoe/piercing abilities, like captians orbital bombardment and MulT rebar/scrap launchers can get a LOT of net damage out of it
I use mercenary and occasionally will pickup the singularity band. If you use the single dash that exposes and the projectile eviscerate, every time you I hit something I’ve exposed it takes a second off my cooldowns so I can just proc the singularity band to draw a bunch of enemies together and I just spam my abilities into the middle to expose all of em and keep refreshing my cooldowns so I can keep spamming abilities until the singularity band explodes. Gets a lot of damage off for the merc, especially if you’ve got a decent amount of lost seers lenses. I’ll always prefer the runalds band tho
needletick when you have shatterspleen and a decent source of crits is one of my favorite combos
Weeping Fungus plus Aegis is amazing btw, even moreso with Leech Seed. I got a few of each in a run and wound up absolutely invincible as long as I sprinted regularly. I'm talking sprint five steps and get to 13,000/2000 health. I was Engineer with mobile turrets too, so my turrets were constantly at full gold healthbars.
i love the crit glass stuff, its so easy to get through runs
Best time to take a needletick is when you have good crit and a shatterspleen, making your bleed stacks obsolete. Had a run with bandit where i had bleed stacks, got a shatterspleen, turned the bleeed into nick and was stacking bleed and collapse at the same time. Run was insane
For the record, needletick can definitely work without sacrificing bleed dmg if you get the shatterspleen and a decent crit rate boost.
That instant, no intro tho 👍. Subbed
Nicest thing about needletick is that + shatterspleen + chronobauble s 3/4 stacks for deathmark, so an Acrid, Rex, or Artificer can really make use of it.
If you happen to get a shattering justice as well, it counts as the 4th debuff and can melt enemies if you are using Commando or Nail Gun Mul-T
Does the tri-tip dagger still proc if you have shatterspleen and 100% crits? And is the needletick better in that case?
Came back to this video because I just got the dlc on console, and personally, as a bandit main, you’d be surprised at how strong needletick is, and I feel like deciding between tip and needle is how your build is going, for example, on bandit, you can build up 12 collapse stacks with 3 needleticks very fast and get a massive nuke off, and Bandit already has hemmorage, but commando, huntress, (maybe MUL-T and Railgunner’s M1) get more use put of tri tip because of it’s sustainability, I don’t, however, like corrupted lens, because it feels like an attempted replacement for guillotine (or however you spell it) but, like all items, they have their moments to shine
16:46 fun fact, tou can get Lunar items out of them with Eurology 0, have fun mathing that one, and yes, I’ve seen it before, it was the little scarab looking item
the only good use for singularity band which i don't think works anymore was that you could have an infinite loop of it, proccing all your abilities constantly with constantly scaling damage (due to having a non-zero proc chance of other abilities) if you used blast shower and stacked enough equipment cooldown effects
Love pluripotent larva on voidfiend runs. It makes it beyond easy to get max corruption bar if I’m going a constant corruption build
You can abuse safer spaces because reload of this item is debuff, with item that cleans all debufs you can instantly reuse safer spaces. That means if you have many fuel cells you can by fastly pressing q make safer spaces with almost no cooldown, texnecly if you have 500 fuel cells with fullcharge on steam deck you can get 5 second of invicibility, because steam deck can automaticly press the button 100 times in a second.
The only problem i have with plasma shrimp is that it does not seem to continue tracking other targets once the initial target dies while ATG does
Already subscribed bro. Hope your uncle Humphrey gets better
As a bandit main, those lost seer glasses are the only reason i pick up lens makers
dont forget that if you have crit and the yellow item from the boss imp you can still take needletick and be good with bleed
Voidsent flame and Gasoline Canisters are a goated combo, especially if you stack ignition tanks too.
Tbh the Singularity Band has a few scenarios of being good, like with REX for extra crowd control that lets m2 spam smash several targets repeatedly.
But yeah, for any case where a character doesn't have that kind of trick available, and/ or they have a ability that is hard hitting enough to make good use of the Runald's and Kjaro bands, then Singularity is worse.
I think its important to understand that zoea shouldnt be judged based on the same basis as other, normal void items. You only either get it as: 1, a sort of “punishment” for dying with pluripotent larva, or 2: when you go out of your way to get it via tricorning a void crab on loop. Its more of a fun, thematic boss item than something that is actually supposed to be immensely powerful/viable.
Even if vand had half the cooldown as bands I don’t think it would be worth it. The potential to stage four skip mithrix is too good to give up.
The only way to fix it is to add a second void band, this current one would replace runald, it would keep the 20 second cool down because vacuuming a whole group into the kjaro blast would be a little too op, the one that replaces kjaro would have to pair well as a single target damage and the only thing I can think of is making it just do a lot of damage and that probably still wouldn’t get picked up because the possibility of skipping on mithrix is too good
i like grabbing needletick only after ive managed to get a spleen, and since i typically play with command crit is usually maxxed out, bing bang boom ive got two debuffs like that and can proc death mark with just two more items
i like playing Rex, and I personally dont take safer spaces on him because of how often Rex takes damage. I like having a chance of blocking every instance of self-damage rather than only blocking said self-damage every once in a while. i usually block more damage this way.
If you have the splatterspleen boss item and 100% crit chance, then needletick is just even more damage, and makes tri-tip daggers useful after getting the splatterspleen.
Lysate cell is actually really good on void fiend. You get an additional heal. With more attack speed you can actually outheal and tank certain attacks if you are caught in the AOE.
thats actually not true. void fiends suppress heal is not cooldown based, it doesnt even have a single second of cooldown, you can spam it infinitely given you have enough meter, its only limitation is your corruption meter, which lysate cell doesnt do anything to increase (other than a very slight buff due to it just being a void item) but fuel cell can be much better than the meter from just 1 more void item in your inventory, extra charges and cooldowns of equipment is huge. taking lysate cell on void fiend is like taking backup mag on railgunner
The transition at 2:41 was really cool
One thing to remember about corrupted items. You are almost never choosing between x corrupted and x uncorrupted. (Unless you have a corrupted dios).
The choice is almost always x uncorrupted or x+1 corrupted. In the case of tentabauble this is pretty significant.
Void glasses are amazing on double nailgun MUL-T. I could even go as far as to say that they're his best item.
One time I had a run where I had where I had like 5 ukuleles and three clovers and I was suffering. After a while I picked up a polylutes and was able to go to stage 25 as captain, then I died to Diablo strike.
The thing about safer spaces. The cooldown is applied as a debuff to the player. A debuff that can be REMOVED BY BLAST SHOWER. Then, the only thing that can still harm you is void reaver explosions. Oh wait, Strides of Heresy exists.
