[Noita] The best way to learn about a new spell

a common mistake i make

[daumadauma]

Unironically, from what ive seen on YouTube thats how most people learn what spells do XD

[hovant]

And if you want to learn the terrifying truth about how Giga/Omega Black Holes interact with each other, have fun with Orbital Larpa

"Oh this one spaghettifies things, like me"

I once found a wand that had giga black hole as an always-cast.

That run ended soon after but it was quite fun.

[Soul-Burn]

To be fair, with that acid blob tearing through the brickwork, I expected some Steve action :)

[Tiagocf]

Me using square barrier and imediatelly dying because i didnt know it dealt so much damage to yourself if you touch it 😭😂

[hotsauceproteinshake]

I don't know why I expected the starter wand to have less than enough mana. Noita isn't kind enough to spare someone so clueless.

[BigJay_]

Started yelling no as SOON as I saw the giga black hole and no trigger spell lmao

[JoryGraham]

My favourite part about the initial “not enough mana” misfire is that technically it means you’ve seen the description twice, so it’s your fault for engaging the rule of threes.

[crowsenpai]

Good spell to follow up any bolt with a trigger. But their gravity fields do interact with each other, so firing multiple can cause them to slingshot each other random directions, which because Noita, probably means right back at you.

And let's not ever forget about the chainsaw blade that flies in a curious angle.

[woahmamaawoogahonkahonka]

God I love this game. Some spells really are just like that. I’m so glad more people are discovering it!

[nebulous]

My most successful run was a Spark Bolt Trigger + Giga Black Hole + Unlimited Spells run. Extremely potent. Still didn't win.

Be on the lookout for spells that say "Static Projectile". That means their effects trigger in place, and don't move unless otherwise acted on by something like Boomerang Spells or Projectile Repulsion Field. Not only are these spells extremely powerful, but they're also often harmful to the player, too. Always look out for spells with Triggers or Timers. They're extremely useful for testing spells like this without dying instantly lol

playing nightmare mode I was trying to build a starter wand, I got thunder and spell casting empty egg, I decided to cast a triple thunder then an egg then another thunder, upon trying the wand, I immediately died because thunder spells hit the egg

[opatzo]

Me when I cast a curious spell named “explosion” (the explosion is on my face)

[AWESOMO]

I once casted rhis and tried to immediately teleport away, but the gravity pulled the teleport bolt into the center killing me. Noit

[majoraswrath]

Ahhh, everyone remembers their first giga black hole

[Spookweave]

DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT OF ONE OF MY FIRST NOITA DEATHS:
Me:What does "explosion of thunder do"
Me:Oh

[lemonk]

A tip from a mediocre player who's beaten the game a few times and gotten a couple god runs based on pure luck: if you don't know what a spell does, put it on a trigger and shoot it far away. This doesn't guarantee safety, but it's better than head-desking because you fired right next to yourself.

(Also: unrelated but homing plasma cutter/beam on trigger is the most fun common spell combo in the game)
