You can kinda block the damage from the broodmother's scream by holding and blocking with a shield. However, this will still not stop the debuff or stun from happening. One more tip is to use spicy staff against broodmother spawns since most of them aren't infused, and it'll kill them fairly quickly.
I found a cone that adds Implant Weaknes: Fresh, Fresh damage up: Major, and Damage Resistance. Now it's the only cone I use with my Frosted Flake. Highly recommend trying to find something like that!
@@zerochan2915 I did not know that, but considering it can take out a ladybird on ng+2 in a single combo every time, I think it is truly a fresh weakness.
The dots don't look like they are doing hardly anything. I can barely see the bar moving at all when you aren't actively attacking. Makes me think only the corrosion is worth it. Edit: I would definitely rethink your armor setup, especially against the Infected Broodmother since her resistances make the dots useless.
Would you swap stuff around to use termite armor instead of broodmother helmet against infected broodmother since she is immune to venom? Or is it more for the defense that u get?
I would say another way to make this build better is to get a trinket with implant weakness of whatever element your battle axe is (fresh is most common).
@@CDiinky ah ok, thanks for the info. I did think it was odd because sometimes I absolutely shredded through certain enemies that we resistant to fresh, and enemies who were weak did not die as quick.
@@Armchairtuna717 just a guess, but maybe it doesn’t add weakness to already weak bugs to the element, it just gives bugs who aren’t weak to the element the weakness
Why not keep theBM helm for the poison venom and swap out the chest for termite armor and legs with fire ant? You add some giddy goop in a trinket and you have de buffs galore while doing really good damage.
Can you make a how to get trinkets guid, I feel like in all your videos the trinkets are the big thing. I know you probably duped them before but I’m wondering what is a good way now through different NG+’s
Late to answer. The best way is the sausager with the t3 glowbasa necklaces. Unlock it by infecting all the ant queens asap. For science cones, farm t3 bugs, and if possible an easier boss like the Broodmother or Mantis. But Glowbasa necklaces are easier as you can load up a whole bunch at once and save scum until you get something good.
The mint mace is still the best fresh weapon generally acid edge is the best sour weapon and a good spicy weapon is the blazing edge salty is either the broodmother club or the salt chipper
For mutations, I personally put chopper, buff lungs, cardio fan, trapper peeper, and coup de grass. Constantly being able to swing with buff lungs is really good
Buff lungs and cardio fan are horrible because chopper already gives you a buff that negates the exaustion time on phase 3, making you instantly regenerate your stamina, you can use damage reduction depending on the enemy or more damage increase
@@Khaizen10 Grounded wiki "Chopper: Axe attacks lower the target's Busting, Chopping and Stabbing resistances for 2 seconds. (10%/15%/20%) Phase 3: Axe attacks give a 5-second buff that negates the exhaustion regeneration delay."
What, no mention for the biggest contributor to damage output of your gear set? That being the timesink and grind necessary to level your axe/axes. Picking the right ng to focus you weapon level grind is also important. NG2 minimum but better if you push to 3.
@@finnpugsley5662 by every ng+ you get an epic +1 infused ooze per infused insect + chance to find cones on more insects, yay! that is if you can kill the insects with infused sour orb / venom / fresh staff / spicy staff / explosive attack / cluster bomb / shockwave attack hoping it doesn't have all the effects at the same time while having extra health and damage per ng+
Does putting on more fire ant armor make corrosion stronger? And could you replace the leggings with Widow leggings since you have to crit to get bleed?
i love battle axes but i would go full fire ant i think the set bonus and sleek bonuses are underrated and i dont really like damage over time and acid procs so often with how fast the battle axes are but thats just my opinion also broodmother is resistant to chopping by 25% not 50% and with chopper she is resistant to chopping by only 5%
I don't understand the insistence of so many people to use the broodmother mask. Poison doesn't scale so even by NG+1 poison barely affects the damage. I'd rather use fire ant helmet and termite chest plate or full widow.
If you want to get the Go big again and Super win trophies do you need to complete the bosses again in ng+? The bosses are needed for 100% but is that including defeating them again in ng+?
so the bug trophies wiki page says that the head mounts give 25% bonus damage, and the status effects wiki page says that +creature damage gives 20% bonus damage. where did you get the +10% damage number from, is there a 3rd wiki page with a different number?

Me running around with one weapon. The salty morning star. With a trinket containing starcrusher, salty damage up best, and implant weakness salt. Nothing resists my weapons damage so I have no need for any other weapon. Just obliterates everything and I use barbarian with it.
@@literatemax I’m sure it deals generic too cause orb weavers are resistant to generic and the second hit obliterates their health compared to the first.
@@sneakygoliath2568salt morning star does tiny damage. The axes are much better even after the nerf. If you used salty COTMD it would do much more damage.
fire ant or the assassin, there’s no armor set that increases your crit damage if I’m not mistaken, but fire ant’s corrosion lowers the enemies attack damage (using chopper with an axe, goes hand in hand as it lowers the enemies defense). Assassin armor is good because of crit bleeds, only go bulky because you’re rarely going to get crit stuns.
Why do you use bulky on the fire ant and assassin armor is it better than using it down sleek? Currently ive been using the assassin's mask sleek chest of the mother deamon sleek and fire and leggings sleek with a lvl 9 sour ant lion great sword and its been tearing the yard up
The sleek effect for fire ant does not work unless you use the full set, the sleek mantis crit stun is not needed as the stun on the battleaxe is already max
@@CDiinky does the + acid damage that you get from wearing an individual piece not work with sour damage or have I just been assuming wrong this whole time
@@felixamin598 Yeah, no idea why they're even in the RNG pool. Quite possibly some of the most useless effects except maybe Black Widows but even then you can just get a trinket with a bunch of Sour roles and it'll out perform it.

Mmmhmmm
Same, it looked so cool and was so fun from almost the beginning.

You can kinda block the damage from the broodmother's scream by holding and blocking with a shield.
However, this will still not stop the debuff or stun from happening.
One more tip is to use spicy staff against broodmother spawns since most of them aren't infused, and it'll kill them fairly quickly.
The debuff when perfect block got fixed in the last patch

make sure you check that is a real fresh weakness. because currently both sour and salt weakness display as fresh weakness.

Not sure if finale fury stacks with the axes. I was thinking boss damage or defense event.
I hope the devs don't see us having too much fun and decide to kill Chopper like they did Javelineer

isnt it better to use broodmother chestplate and fire ant helmet for more defense?
Please tell me you found an answer to this I’m so confused why you wouldn’t run brood chest….
@@maxbailey639 dont know, i just use brood chest and fire ant helmet
Yes, it is. Check the numbers:
Defense
Head & Lower Body: 10
Upper Body: 20
Resistance
Head & Lower Body: 7.5%
Upper Body: 15%
Of course, it's a nobrainer.
Problem with this build its completely luck based. I have gotten extremely unlucky with my cones and the grind it takes to max out a weapon is crazy
That is the problem with most builds.
All builds in NG are luck based im afraid
Hope they reduce the amount of RNG and silly grinding you have to do for an average build that doesn’t even hold up later into ng+ or on woah mode
Would you swap stuff around to use termite armor instead of broodmother helmet against infected broodmother since she is immune to venom? Or is it more for the defense that u get?
I would say another way to make this build better is to get a trinket with implant weakness of whatever element your battle axe is (fresh is most common).
Not too sure how the implant weakness works right now. Some say its bugged others said not so i decided not to add it in here
Some fresh implant trinket are displayed fresh but are actually salt or sour. SO it requirees hard testing. That's why cdinky chosed to not use them.

Are there any other trinkets that give samurai or finale fury that aren’t in ng+?
I feel like every one of these builds all include fire ant armor, broodmother armor, and mantis armor. (Not in a bad way)
