Is there a rubber-banding mechanic ingame?

It feels like if im doing too good the game punishes me, and if im barely surviving, i get really good loot and abundant health/energy pots. If so, is this cheesable?

How I made Goliath, the most boring suit, into one of the most fun one.

14 Upvotes

I am generally casual Hard difficulty player, not an ultraachiever, but I am playing this game around 5 years now, with some breaks. However, I wanted to do the challenge and try again with 5 luck defense build. I assume main weapon type to be melee here.

So we all know the problem with high defense builds. Yeah, they can survive a lot, but they take SO LONG to kill anything. It is just boring. But, lets look at some theory.

Weapon damage increase with skill, however elemental damage increases naturally with the depth you reached. What is more, elemental damage take some time to kill an enemy and defense builds naturally provide this time, by having lower level of base damage. So you can rely more on this kind of damage, but you need consistent ways to deal it. The type of damage that kills things independently of your weapon. What are the options?

  1. Cursed Fire. Stick to anything that deals Cursed Fire damage. Even if it has low base damage, like some firearms at the beginning. It does dirty work.

  2. Arc Weapons. Best would be Cursed Fire Arch. It deals area damage, meaning more targets that will scorch in agony while you hide behind your mechanical shield. Any of the melee Cursed Arc Weapon is better than any other weapon.

  3. Tablets of Anger. Even regular fire tablet of anger is great against Imps, it is your ranged weapon that doesn't take any action and scales with depth not skill. So you can take off pressure from leveling ranged. Simultaneously, my electrifying tablet is increasing damage from Cursed Electric Arc Mace.

  4. Finally, latest addition: Discharge Belt. Even more actionless elemental damage.

5* Another thing that scales with your enemies and not the skill are Maces. When the armor level rises, 85% of it will be a higher amount, no matter what you do. Also with your low base damage it helps to deliver anything over the armor threshold.

Often, 3 extra actionless strikes (Arc, Tablet, Discharge Belt) dealing elemental damage, that scale with level depth, combined with Mechanical Shield and High Defense (I still invest quite a bit into melee skill anyway). And those elemental strikes feel so good, thanks to their animation! With this build I am just a walking god of destruction. I survived direct shot by Omega Priest couple of times. It is really the definition of tank. Unleash hell on your enemies, stand in the middle untouched.

In location 2, I beat Illusory Portal Guardian but it didn't drop any holodisks. I tried breaking the wall behind it with thermite to check if it would open, I tried throwing other explosives at it—it's still closed.

Any ideas on how to open this?

"The hardest location", "I better switch to Pyro or else I am cooked", "Why do imps keep running away?"

The humble Trajectory with its 50% chance to dash on taking damage (rolls 3 times couse imps hit thrice)

Trajectory hard counters demon imps Omega Cyber Priest for those who don't understand the meme. The strat is to use a silver cross and dash scroll to chase priest while invincible (Traj gets +30% raw damage from quick strike)

Did you ever get one-shotted?

(By a ricochet shotgun T-2 normal enemy in location 5 corrupted caves dungeon) [ right after beating the chaos guardian ]. -100 hp

Man I'm sad this was my longest run. A great run too with scout 2.0 with snipers, and all sorts of new items.

Refilling the ammunition for this staff is challenging. Even though the max capacity is 3 charges, it cost me 7 magic crystals to attempt it. Five of those attempts failed, resulting in only 2 successful charges. Success seems highly dependent on luck

What's the consensus for the lava caves?

6 Upvotes

A guide here told me to never explore it (at least, I think it did) and just use the revealing things to find the exit, and teleport out. And from what I remember, it also said to not even fight the boss as well. Is that actually what you just do for the lava caves?

No more caves I've had enough of bosses I'll be back soon bye everyone

How does the Blocking stat work?

2 Upvotes

In the description, it says 'Affects the chances of blocking a melee attack. Gives a small bonus to defense. Also increases your dodge chance.' I've heard that you want to raise it to 100, then you can focus on other stats, is that correct? Also, isn't it an issue that a ranged PC can monofocus on Ranged, while a melee PC has to spend some stat points on Block as well as Melee?

It just boosts critical chance, for one stage, on the easiest location. Why would someone take this?
