hey! It's me! the person who just lost 15 hours of their life!
i was doing this run on the Xbox browser, took a break, and when i came back the run was literally too big to load up LMAO anyways heres highest recorded stats ig....
if your talking survivabilty, it would be either Urso (for beeg stats and self healing with anti-debuffing, although replacing Overwhelm with a proper offensive skill could be useful) or Tizik (basically perma energized, lots of def and spd to deal with waves of enemies, good aoe dmg too). if your talking sheer dmg, it really depends on who you ask, i'd say Mamu as an idea.
tizik is so broken. Just go storm chaser and you can shut off your brain until loop 10 when poison becomes a problem. I think double rainbow feather could deal with poison nicely tho
This is the most ive got; no potions and Im at the begining loop 13 rn. Another guy on discord is doing a more optimized version of this run tho so he will probably hit max speed on loop 10 :)
ok i did a bunch of calculations since ive been trying to make this work and i just realized it might be impossible
there are 11 different synergies with 6 tiers (66)
let’s say i used a team of 6 monsters with 3 synergies, we’d have 18 down (48)
let’s i also gave every monster ONLY synergy items, and used the imperfect/perfect fusions to have 6 items on each monster, 36 more synergies gone (12)
add another 6 synergies from meditation garden (6)
luck event (5)
im still gonna try to form a strategy to make obtaining all synergies in a run possible because i think the elemental crown could change things, biggest crutch is having to build around lucky since it’s the sole synergy you can’t artificially spam
Dont forget you can use both the Rune of Safe Passage and Champion's Laurel to gain more as well! if you are lucky (ha) enough runing a mon fused with synergy items would open up a spot for even more forge sparks tho those things are pretty rare.
jay plz make some kind of thing that massively debuffs your guy like an item like uh the cursed puppet or smthing that lowers hp by a ton or applies a tonna posion my kabus just not dieing
Sorry bro. a guy on discord revealed he hit loop 1000. Unless you grind for days with a jittery unnerring arrow krog you will be sad. I had an endless win going but stopped on loop 59 (had to use cheats to kill my team) bc i wanted to try other things. If you want smth that doesnt require files, I recommend speedrunning classic balanced. A guy on discord beat the game in 6:33 and I beat it in 6:39 :)
feels good to be back (didn't actually wait for the update xd, i couldn't take another 2 months with no vanguarding); not too proud of this one, specially since it's on Calm (altough it's main purpose WAS to farm and not to show off so... idk). Nessa is basically Gheist but for healing instead of dmg, Tama gives you lil minions with a PERMA-stacking dmg buff (didn't expect that one), only reason it worked is bcuz of me getting a Circlet of Acuity and Power for Hydrim, not fot that i'd had lost at the 2nd loop; and yes, that is an enchanted quill on Pyris, somehow that was the best for dps and not anything else (the Karakai and Kabu are for decoration).
He is literally there only for the idol (and even that could be swapped out), as for Kabu, i tried the dps approach and fell flat on my face so i decided to stick with it being a guardian xd.
Thank you. All enemies had 99999 hp and i still could kill them all in a few seconds. So If I had ignored everything and just spent a few hours grinding I could have got to loop 100
in the beginning it was a kamikzae Terrifying end, Panic menace. Later i gave it shiv and frostbite tulwar to boost skim's soul renderer damage a bit. Aside from that it was moral support
Everyone has tactician. 4 pulveriser on two mudgills, another one on the other two. Each hydrim has circlet and spyglass, so they effectively cast continously. I swear I saw a mudgill deal 7000 damage in one hit in one battle.
Even at loop 10, Im still getting subsecond battles.
It wont count for Soul Renderer but Zephyr is individual buffs too. Gora's Poison Thorns would count if you are fighting fast attackers like Slicers or Flayers. Iceburst Brew (the slowing potion) makes your attacks apply individual debuffs much like Pyris too. Technicalllly things like Shiv, Stuns, or Nessa's Rejuvenating Flames count but arent very easily stacked. Some monsters apply multiple different debuffs too the like Tizik Lightning Rod & Overload so even though the stacks arent individual it still nets some easy bonuses.
Please raise the limits for str, int, def and spd.
Moreover, could you also incorporate an XP system, where monsters can get stronger, and perhaps upgrade the stats of their abilities? Of course, it would be reasonable to compensate with higher enemy difficulty, but leveling system would be dope!
Also, another request of mine would be to make post loop-1 boss battles harder, bc alot of people would probably have broken builds by then. Smth like scaling the elite and boss fights to at the very least match your strength. This way, loops wouldnt go to infinity.
Final request, i would like a feature where i can download my progress so i can transfer my progress between devices. I might be changing my computer and it would be tragic to lose my beautiful team of mudgills
Some mons have the wrong fusions (like krog doesnt have a gss and I fused a ripper to hydrim which was stupid). Also gheist is doing nothing aside from giving renderer skim a slight damage boost with curse and shiv (panic is reducing adaptable damage lmao). If I had a fast pyris instead soul renderer would be doing wayyy more damage. But overall my core is very good and with instacast hydrim poison isnt a problem and with instacast wyrm plus radiant krog, I have enemies on clamps
still unsure, cant commit to a specific time cause life, but I will definitely make an announcement on here and discord. well probably 2 announcements, one for the date, and then one when it launches
by giving hydrim silence vow so it couldnt heal poison, putting skim in the back and keeping it away from tizik so it couldnt go crazy and removing all my items I am able to check my stats. Dw i reloaded and killed targoth in a few seconds right after this
2 whole new stats (technically 3 because crit dmg will also have some things that boost it). also dodging avoids the effects of most "on attack" abilities
lol thanks. I havent savescummed in like 15 loops so when I saw there was no forges anywhere in the final path before the boss I just said "screw it" and sold everything for 8000 aura so hoard wyrm could do the rest
progress *shouldnt* be lost if you refresh (unless something happens to the browser cache/cookies or saving fails). It autosaves each time you select something on the map. In this version there is a bug with seras when fighting faceless that can freeze it, so for now just try to keep him from being targeted by their Start of Battle ability.

should mention, this was at the end of loop 8!
also also public safety announcement do NOT attempt this run it actually hurts your wrist alot especially if your doing this fast
dear god, and here i thought Tizik was broken, turns out Urso was the true Vanguard Monster all along.
in your opinion what is the most versatile monster for an infinite solo
if your talking survivabilty, it would be either Urso (for beeg stats and self healing with anti-debuffing, although replacing Overwhelm with a proper offensive skill could be useful) or Tizik (basically perma energized, lots of def and spd to deal with waves of enemies, good aoe dmg too). if your talking sheer dmg, it really depends on who you ask, i'd say Mamu as an idea.

Tizik may be Jay's favorite just sayin.
i think he is nerfing it and skim
Ouh
has anyone gotten 999 speed yet?
This is the most ive got; no potions and Im at the begining loop 13 rn. Another guy on discord is doing a more optimized version of this run tho so he will probably hit max speed on loop 10 :)
fast bear
at loop 8 i got my urso to 999! i want to say around act 2 but im not sure, since i usually use all my food at the end of the loop
loop EIGHT!? that's some dedication (and probably a bit of carpal tunnel)
I AM THE ONE WHO SYNERGIZES
21 calamity loops with only synergy items. Thats insane bro. Join the discord, there are a lot people working on cool stuff there too
O: woah I dont think Ive seen a team with everything
DAMN, 4 tizik run with ALL stats is hefty, good job.
first few loops of calamity are no picnic either. Tho after that its abt the same as balanced
ok i did a bunch of calculations since ive been trying to make this work and i just realized it might be impossible
there are 11 different synergies with 6 tiers (66)
let’s say i used a team of 6 monsters with 3 synergies, we’d have 18 down (48)

(4 tiziks here i come lmao)
Dont forget you can use both the Rune of Safe Passage and Champion's Laurel to gain more as well! if you are lucky (ha) enough runing a mon fused with synergy items would open up a spot for even more forge sparks tho those things are pretty rare.
jay plz make some kind of thing that massively debuffs your guy like an item like uh the cursed puppet or smthing that lowers hp by a ton or applies a tonna posion my kabus just not dieing
no building run currently ;D on calamity
how i back up my save on chrome jay tell me fr
im not sure the browser save directiries will be accessible for security reasons.
make a save file thingy or smthing fr i got restarted again ;-; i was on loop 10
you need to play the downloaded version to get the files, web browsers dont let unity create files that are accessible
imma might gun for world endless record fr whats the highest number of loops
Sorry bro. a guy on discord revealed he hit loop 1000. Unless you grind for days with a jittery unnerring arrow krog you will be sad. I had an endless win going but stopped on loop 59 (had to use cheats to kill my team) bc i wanted to try other things. If you want smth that doesnt require files, I recommend speedrunning classic balanced. A guy on discord beat the game in 6:33 and I beat it in 6:39 :)
I *think* they were just saying that the team could reach 1000, not they actually did. It takes a long time to get that far lol
if i take over 2 hours just to get 15 loops AT DOUBLE SPEED, i don't want to imagine the hassle that guy must've gone through.
urso hit 30k health before loop 11 :)
gourmand i imagine?
yes. At loop 12 end its 40k
damn
some guy on discord is using 3 nessas and killing them like 10 times every battle to get a 60k hp urso before loop 9
imagine that AND a Woad, food stock gonna be crazy.
feels good to be back (didn't actually wait for the update xd, i couldn't take another 2 months with no vanguarding); not too proud of this one, specially since it's on Calm (altough it's main purpose WAS to farm and not to show off so... idk).

Decorative Kara xD (dont worry some of his buffs have been previewed in the discord, theyll be coming)
He is literally there only for the idol (and even that could be swapped out), as for Kabu, i tried the dps approach and fell flat on my face so i decided to stick with it being a guardian xd.
remember guys. Anything is possible
this team reached escape velocity on infinite
that looks like a pretty goddamn long run, congrats
Thank you. All enemies had 99999 hp and i still could kill them all in a few seconds. So If I had ignored everything and just spent a few hours grinding I could have got to loop 100
That is a LOT of time tho, figures, still in the air about how you made Gheist fit but the rest makes sense.
in the beginning it was a kamikzae Terrifying end, Panic menace. Later i gave it shiv and frostbite tulwar to boost skim's soul renderer damage a bit. Aside from that it was moral support
very senseful, a Gheist kamikaze is basically what it is used for, although moral support is much more humorous.
Everyone has tactician. 4 pulveriser on two mudgills, another one on the other two. Each hydrim has circlet and spyglass, so they effectively cast continously. I swear I saw a mudgill deal 7000 damage in one hit in one battle.
Even at loop 10, Im still getting subsecond battles.
Hasn't taken a wound since cheap forge.
Shark Attack!
make sure you dont get ten3 or ascetic will destroy you
insta-nuking with insta-healing, very nice
I know pyris ignite counts as individual stacks for soul renderer. Are there any other debuffs I can exploit this way
It wont count for Soul Renderer but Zephyr is individual buffs too. Gora's Poison Thorns would count if you are fighting fast attackers like Slicers or Flayers. Iceburst Brew (the slowing potion) makes your attacks apply individual debuffs much like Pyris too. Technicalllly things like Shiv, Stuns, or Nessa's Rejuvenating Flames count but arent very easily stacked. Some monsters apply multiple different debuffs too the like Tizik Lightning Rod & Overload so even though the stacks arent individual it still nets some easy bonuses.
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT PETITION!
Please raise the limits for str, int, def and spd.

Final request, i would like a feature where i can download my progress so i can transfer my progress between devices. I might be changing my computer and it would be tragic to lose my beautiful team of mudgills
I second this
heres the update
the strongest team??
Some mons have the wrong fusions (like krog doesnt have a gss and I fused a ripper to hydrim which was stupid). Also gheist is doing nothing aside from giving renderer skim a slight damage boost with curse and shiv (panic is reducing adaptable damage lmao). If I had a fast pyris instead soul renderer would be doing wayyy more damage. But overall my core is very good and with instacast hydrim poison isnt a problem and with instacast wyrm plus radiant krog, I have enemies on clamps
Any ideas on when you're gonna release this on Steam? I'm looking forward to buying it.
still unsure, cant commit to a specific time cause life, but I will definitely make an announcement on here and discord. well probably 2 announcements, one for the date, and then one when it launches
Cool
by giving hydrim silence vow so it couldnt heal poison, putting skim in the back and keeping it away from tizik so it couldnt go crazy and removing all my items I am able to check my stats. Dw i reloaded and killed targoth in a few seconds right after this
Woa
hey jay, it's about to be next year in a few days, could we have some spoilers pls? (no pressure, definitely).
christmas skins and foods are coming back
Cool.
Slower game speeds for strategizing, neat
A buffer when damaged and a debuffer when damaging, awesome
squeed.
CRIT AND DODGE?!?!?! IN MY AUTOBATTLER!?!?!? incredible
2 whole new stats (technically 3 because crit dmg will also have some things that boost it). also dodging avoids the effects of most "on attack" abilities
Finally can deal with those damned extra scavengers (you sure are putting a lot of work into this update huh)
it is already the largest update so far, just available time has reslly decreased
5 digit health :)
O: I dont think ive ever seen player HPs break 4 digits
that is one HELL of a stacked wyrmlet.
lol thanks. I havent savescummed in like 15 loops so when I saw there was no forges anywhere in the final path before the boss I just said "screw it" and sold everything for 8000 aura so hoard wyrm could do the rest
Beat loop 30 boss in a few seconds. Ill send vid on discord idk how to send here
That fight must've been something huh
DAMN
tizik skim solos this game. Skim deals 90% of my damage every battle
loop 33 and enemies are still getting two shot by skim
With instantly shredded def and near 5 attacks/s, figures
broh, you still think in fix the full screan mode? or do some kind of screen size selection?
it is not fixed yet but is definitely something I will work on for this coming update
ez
Which did you go for
jay what is the little chat bar that i get at the top of my screen? is it something to type commands with or smthing
that is the debug console, there are a few commands
thank you Ghostly Smith, very cool
bug: whenever you have the haunted synergy and one of your monsters die, if you use a supportive super to revive them, you recover a wound
its a little bonus :D
sweet!
How do you get Nessa? Please help.
👍
thats pretty tough to find :D I hope the crown helped
My game froze and I don't want to reload the tab and lose my progress. What should I do?
nvm I figured it out
progress *shouldnt* be lost if you refresh (unless something happens to the browser cache/cookies or saving fails). It autosaves each time you select something on the map. In this version there is a bug with seras when fighting faceless that can freeze it, so for now just try to keep him from being targeted by their Start of Battle ability.
my team thats almost unbeatable my guys never ever faint
its probably the sunglasses, too cool to faint
I tried a little harder
💪
im die
tuskal is an absolute CHAMP
What's crazy is Tusk used to be even stronger xD glad to see they are still getting good useage
can you add a new discord link
here try this one https://discord.gg/yvubkKme
this one didn’t work either
hm thats strange, we still have new people joining regularly, Im not sure what would be causing that.
I tried my best
and you did great 👍
What does silence do
it means the affected monster wont be able to cast their active ability (and often times wont regenerate mana either)
how does the meditation garden work? I put a monster in it and started a new run, but none of the monsters had the synergy? I don't really get it.
oh nvm figured it out
a few of the village buildings work that way (giving an item at the start of run)
had a good run
dang 9 loops well done
🔥
will there be more updates?
or are you working on a diffrent project?
I am working on a new update but things have been busy here so it will still be a bit before it is done
