1:50 "Dodgerolling will avoid taking a lot of damage"

*proceeds to take a lot of damage while dodgerolling*

"And whatever you do don't unlock the Spartan sandals"
Me: Well... Too late

[aguy]

Don’t go for the timed doors. There are doors that open for 60 kills without getting hit (30 for the first level). Those will help you get more equipment and scrolls.

"do not unlock the spartan sandals"

Like I'm not gonna stun lock an enemy in a corner and kick it to death.

Stack damage resistance up to 75%. Freeze is your friend. Criticals are good. Roll, jump, jump, roll. Pick items with double damage to you at the end of the level and reroll them. Stack your main stat always if possible.

"...instead of opening doors, try rolling through them or attacking them with your weapon"
Me: you can open doors?

[Erkalan]

Health drops and weapon drops stay on the ground until used. If you dont need the heal, save it and teleport back. The portals save you a lot of time.

The “don’t unlock too many items” tip is EXTREMELY lame. That takes about a solid 20% of the fun of the game away. It’s fun having a wide variety and different builds to try, and it’s fun unlocking things. It’s also not even hard to still get the items you want. The game offers some options to tailor your build.

Tip 1: take your time





Tip 2: speed run levels to get better stuff

Here is a major tip, (haven’t watched vid yet) ICE IS ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS, ABUSE IT

[MadTrolla]

For those who don’t know spartan sandals are really useful and can trap bosses in loops and that build works better with two projectile supports with a good shield to parry attacks to minimize damage taken and maximize damage given

Quick tip: don't try to ground pound every time you fall at Toxic Sewers or Ancient Sewers, you might cannonball yourself at sh*t water
Quicker tip: don't collect TOO MANY scrolls of different type, true that it makes your stats go higher but also means, tougher enemies in the next level you enter.


Quickest tip: when using heavy ass weapons where it says “cannot be interrupted by enemy after hit” like the Symmetrical Lance or the Nutcracker, you must find a better position for yourself to attack because keep in mind that they are slow heavy weapons and you cannot be interrupte—

"Don't unlock the spartan sandals" Y'all know that it's meant to be a sidearm like the bow right? Literally my favorite secondary

tip#28410375

when you see an enemy, it’s probably your best bet to kill it.
They will drop some loot and money to buy with.

this bicc wont be talkin bout my spartan sandals when Rome rises once again

[gwarriorfromhell]

This game is way better than I expected. I saw this as another rogue-lite game that would be a time killer here and there. I played for several hours before I realized it. This game is scary good.

[jebus]

#5 don’t unlock a lot of weapons, but why not. Variety is the spice of life baby.

[MrJoaoAfonso]

The best tip: Don't play this game. Its super addictive.

Totally unfair with Spartan Sandals. I mean, they do MASSIVE damage to enemies if you kick them to a wall, or if you kick them off a ledge.

Obviously, they are almost useless agains Bosses, but against normal mobs, in clock tower for example, it's ista-kill for each kick, (4 boss cells stem). Just use them as a secundary weapon and you're fine :)

Besides, there is no "good" weapon. There is weapons that you PREFER, and that's totally fine.
None are bad, all of them have a purpose, but you'll have your prefered ones.

Just keep in mind that by NOT unloking blueprints just because they are no "good" will make your game always feels the same, and it takes out some fun of the fomula, IMHO.
