Question: Does "latent power balanced" give +5% to allies' stats EVERY time Arcane Breath it's used? Like, does it stack every time for the duration of the battle?
Oh, and is the 5% relative to the new stat or the original one? Like, if the stat is 100 and it becomes 105, is then 5% of 105 or 5% of 100? Does it gain more and more exponentially?
Congrats, you won the standard category! People came close but you held on at the top. Let me know what alt skin youd like to see, and for which monster. feel free to post it here or message me on discord and I'll see what I can do
Very very cool. Well done! I usually don't like the healing tome and the invulnerability because they get rid of the already very useful active abilities monsters have, but I see you gave them to Chikia and Gora, who have useful abilities but sometimes not as much useful as the others. It's a good strat and two very nice merged items!
Last time the candy record for infinite mode was 51. Is it your 60 now? :D
Its the most I have seen but it should be pretty easy to get some more if you got a good run. I love the speed average thing chikita does for many reasons. So far my best was loop 7 but with little candy.
Weird bug: monster didn't change sprite after evolving?
I was doing an infinite mode lv 5 run and evolved Gheist right at the final boss. Gheist weirdly gained the new stats and its trait "terrifying end", but did not change sprite. It never occured till now. Super weird. Maybe it has something to do with the altered skins for the halloween event?
Massive pikachu that doesn't want to evolve into raichu vibes here XD
My mind was very deep into strat in that moment, so I'm not sure what I did, but I have the habit of evolving and pressing the "continue" icon to go to the new tile of the run while the monster is still evolving, sometimes. Could it be related to that? Is there some weird stuff with the animation? Dunno, just throwing hypoteses out there owo
Damn it. A 6 candy run. I was doing very well in the first two areas, but the last one didn't give me as much candies as I hoped. I'm still trying to reach 8 to secure the win at the end of the month. That 7 is fragile XD
Also, it was hilarious to find Master's Sai already in the second "tile" of the run.
I think I discovered how to regain lost wounds without items or rest or events.
If you have the "Haunted" synergy and a monster with the "Supportive" type, you can wait when a monster dies and then use the Supportive Super effect. When the monster dies, thanks to Haunted you don't gain a wound, but when you heal the monster back to life you actually heal a previous wound.
I think, at least. It was quick, I didn't even notice it at first, but surely I had some wounds and later on during a run I had them no more. And I did not rest nor use items and events and such. This is the only explanation I can think of.
I shared this in the discord but heres some secrets and tips for candy hunting
SECRETS
-Candy has a very low chance from being found after normal battles
-Events that give candy: Weary Traveler-> Choose to carry (req 30 str) gives 1, Charmweaver -> Choose to craft a banner (req a charm) gives 1, Humble Cottage-> Choose Take Candy: gives 0 to 2, Sealed Tomb-> Random chance for a Candy Stash reward (random required stat) gives 1 to 4.
-Candy Baskets are most common in Zone 1 Treasure fights TIPS
-Try to save candy for tier 2 or 3 monsters, their higher base stats mean they get an even bigger boost from the % increase.
-Candy is food, it can be used at campsites to cook meals to affect your entire party! Really make the most of those stat boosts.
theres a little way to get around the 1 of each monster rule. If you do egg sense in the nests in zones 2 or 3 to find a specific egg but dont hatch it, you can still find that same monster in future nests. This is because it only checks if you currently have the monster to exclude it from the list of possible monsters.
I keep getting 4-5 candies. I got that 7 at like, the third run on sunday, and now I can't get past 5, not even 6. It's harder than I thought. If someone can manage to get 8 I don't know how would I able to get more. The grind is hard XD
Longest normal endless run, didn't expect these guys to live for so long but I'm glad the strategy somehow worked. Haunted + Hydrim cheese mostly but all my mon focused on spread out damage. Using super to reverse deaths with Life Force is probably the only reason they made it so far.
7 Candies in Standard Mode :) Best one so far. Just doing a bunch of lv1 runs to see how can you find candies. I'll check out later on the discord server to see there how it's going. What's the max reached rn? And what's the max you can reach, theoretically and realistically?
Oh, also, the alternate skins are very fun ahahah. For now I found Frankie-chip and Yoshi-chikia :P
I have to try the infinite mode still, with the candy hunt. I hope the patches help with the memory problems ^^'' I suspect it is also pc-dependent so... We'll see.
I'm very happy about my 7 then, yay! :D I got very lucky. "?" battles aside, I found candies around. The turtle sage gave me a candy and also some random battles gave me one. I was very surprised!
I'll grind some more in the future and I'll try the infinite one.
Question: I found hydrim with their new red skin. I don't get who they are. Are they a red moon, maybe? Are they blood? >:-P
battles have a very low chance to give a candy, but theres a few events that give them as well (some dont say if they will tho like that one). Hydrim is just spooky blood yea lol, that one and one other are just quick recolors.
For now I found the sage turtle master and the one where you fall and take 1 wound in exchange for 1 candy ^^ Still not any better than that 7. I was hella lucky. I got 5 max after that. Never 6. And in the infinite mode I only got like 19... -.-'' How the heck did they reach 51?!
On a good note, I reached the boss on the 4' loop and it did not crash the game! Not sure it will keep so, doing longer runs, but my pc freezed the game at that point, before, so the patch helped at least a bit! :D
Oh, also, question: Is there a difference in playing at different levels, for the candy contest? Is playing at lv 1 and 5 the same? Or do the candies at lv 5 count more?
t i just want to petition for a god mode difficulty, where maybe you make it harder to die. I might want to suggest some new features in this difficulty.
Monster stat multiplied by 2
all monsters are fully upgraded from the start
shops are free
infinite wounds.
Instead of, curses, after zone, we can get a blessing.
Blessings are now twice as potent. For example, instead of 10 strange fruits, we can get 20 strange fruits.
I have a different humble request. I would like a different mode, already hinted in various comments: a "creative" one, where you can create teams however you like before going in battle. Using the same monster twice, choosing which items giving to them... It would be super useful to try out strats before doing actual runs! :D
I know it's calamity, but after reaching 3 loops the last time I'm a bit disappointed at only 2 and a bit. I thought I could make it, but I got drank with power and tried some very crazy combos that really don't care about defense at all ahahahah ^^'''
It was fun nonetheless.
Here is the final team.
Tuskal with Dancing Leaf was... well, Tuskal! Even after the nerf, he's still one of the most powerful monsters and he's very fun to play. I started with slagg and him and together with the bulky synergy they were perfect.
Slagg with Mesmerizing Orb. I was also lucky and got the possibility to fuse them with Blastshell soon in the run. 20% Hp to pay is a lot, but the defence you gain in return is great. 202 defense? That's a tough slug! :P
Parra with Dragon Scale, Windwall and Tailwinds. I tried using her as a defender, in the frontline, and as a support to boost the team's speed. It worked for a bit, but not much. She was the later addiction. This time she didn't work that well in the team, unfortunately. Poor Parra. I still love you <3
Karakai with Heart of the Ocean. One of my favorite monster-item combos. Karakai with Moonbeam is always fun of course, and Heart of the Ocean really gives the godzilla-vibe, other than being a very good combo. With Slagg, they were a very good wall for a while.
Seras with Stick Effigy. Seras was my third addiction and a great one. I already had slagg and tuskal, so Seras really shined with her debilitate, making things easier for tuskal. I gave her lots of different items during the run. I gave her stick effigy later on because of the crazy tactic I used on the next monster... I needed it! XD
In my last battle I didn't give the item to them, for reasons I'm gonna explain later, but for a good part of the run I had this insane magical draconic force that is Wyrmlet + Transcendent Band of Power (Transcendent Band + Ring of Power)! I mean... It is basically suicide, but DAMN IF IT PUNCHES HARD! XD It just keeps casting and giving damage everywhere! And lots of it! I also got the latent power (ice) and it lowered the spd a lot, which was nice.
I even got emboldened soul and gave it to wyrmlet to make him reach 800 hp and lasts a bit more, but it was not enough.
This strategy was fun. The problem is... poison. It's always poison. Truly. I find the poison enemies the most difficult ones in every run. If you attack them, they just decimate your team! >:-( I hate them! XD :(
I usually manage to barely win against them thanks to healing teams, but this team healing was very scarse. I wanted to try something different. It didn't work out.
Oh well, still a fun run :) I will remember this transcendent band of power, ahahah
P.s: I just noticed that I managed to get 7/6 wounds... what the... Did the last two monsters die at the same time?
thats a very valiant effort! I love the idea of parra being a sort of risky tank but yea it becomes too difficult for them in later loops. Poison is being rebalanced next patch so it shouldnt grow in power as quickly from looping. Same with a few other enemies. Also yea its possible for 2 monsters to die at the same time and go over the wound amount, could have been a strong aoe attack or poison.
Yeeeeee, I'm so happy poison is going to be nerfed ahahah. I like tough challenges but I admit it was forcing me to never pick different strats from the healing one ^^'' It limited the fun.
Thanks for the explanation and for the game, as always <3
Oh, also! I humbly thought of an idea that I wanted to share, don't know if it's interesting. What if Seras is or becomes immune to poison? Very often I found myself thinking "she is a snake, and a venomous one, why does poison affect her?" XD I know it's a "narrative" side of thinking and maybe it doesn't work on a mechanic-balancing standpoint, but dunno, I found it an interesting idea. You can ignore it or pick it up as you wish of course, it's your game u,u
hmm possibly! It would certainly help mechanically because Seras likes long battles and well... poison gets really dangerous the longer you wait. If it were to get added, immunity would be too strong though, it would have to be something like resistance.
It happened to me too. Jay answered saying that "currently you are only allowed to get 1 of those "area blessings" from the events, but theyre abit stronger now". I don't know if they meant in infinite mode only or in both the modes.
I was doing a run at lv 1 for fun and to see what's exactly beyond loop 3, when the game crashed. On the web window briefly appeared a pop up that said something like "out of memory, please if you are the developer do x and y" :/
I'm on mac and google chrome.
Unfortunate :( I wanted to run the game at normal level later, to see how far could I go with that, but if the game crashes after the 3 loop...
it would only happen if the game was still open. Oh and I forgot to answer about the discord, theres a link at the top of the description of the game page.
3 Loop and 1 Boss Run in Infinite Mode at Calamity Level! :D
The Team still Healthy a bit before dying
The End
Parra with Dancin Harvester (which she didn't use much before the end, unfortunately). I think she helped a lot with her speed, tailwind and the magical sinergy with Wyrmlet.
Seras with Gravity Hammer (because why not?). This was the first time I managed to beat the final boss at the first loop and I did not know that later on I would not be able to take crystals, anymore, and so Seras remained at 2 stage. Who knows how far would I have been able to go with her at 3 stage! Next time!
Gora with Living Armor+Living Root. Gora was the healer of the team. I really liked the Root Restoration ability. And nature with Woad is always very cool. I started the run with Woad and Gora.
My boy <3 Woad with Living Crest (Living Armor + Yggsomething Crest). Tank of the team. Who needs Defensive monsters? :P Also, Dark Harvest was amazing! I managed to get killed only one monsters in many battles, to trigger Dark Harvest and not suffering the wound thanks to Haunted Sinergy. Lots of food this way! It was not enough to surpass the 4 loop, unfortunately, but het, 3 is not bad! (I think?)
Wyrmlet with MEGA HEART OF THE OCEAN. Yeah. Finding Wyrmlet later in the run was amazing. I knew it would have been key to spread dmg around with its ability. And Power Overflow + Mega Heart of the Ocean + Magical + Maginuts to reduce Mana + Stuff around = LOTS OF DAMAGE
I forgot to check them at the moment of death, but these are the curses and the blessings just 1 boss shy of the final moment (I think? I don't remember the exact moment? Maybe it was after the boss...)
The item curses are really scary rng. Sometimes they are nothing special, sometimes they are SCARY, sometimes are actually useful for you (like when they get an item that replaces their ability, but it's very rare).
The blessings are very cool. The potion one is amazing. I don't know if it's possible to find it after only one loop, but if it is, WOW. The chance to find the salve that heals 2 wounds is great. It helped a lot.
Final Stats
Final thoughts
I like Infinity Mode a lot. It's hella hard ahahahah! In the end, every battle felt like a boss battle. It was very very hard. I wanted to save the game, rest and go back to play later on, but here on web I could not do it :/ One day maybe it will be possible (?) :D
Thanks again for making and sharing this game Jay, it's great.
A question: What's the highest loop you and/or anyone reached at Calamity Mode right now? I want a leaderboard XD
P.s: Maaaaybe I found a bug? I had the Nature Synergy but this event didn't allow me to get the blessing. I don't know why. Maybe something with the Infinity Mode? It never occured in the past in the normal mode.
Wow that was fast, 3 is great! I usually only get around that on normal mode lol. I always say this but I really like seeing how different everyones strategies are. There should probably be an earlier warning that the eggs and crystals are not going to be available, but it might be spread out more next patch. With the item curses I think they will need to not give items to end bosses, cause their abilities being replaced completely weakens them. You are correct tho, the Greater Blessings you get for beating the loop are dependent on which loop you are on (after 3 you just get a special potion too). Most people dont play on calamity in infinite, but I think the highest normal mode loop I saw in the discord was around 8. In regards to the Poison Grove, thats not a bug, currently you are only allowed to get 1 of those "area blessings" from the events, but theyre abit stronger now. I'm glad you are enjoying the update!
Yeah, for sure the personalization aspect of the game, that allows you to choose different strategies, is one of the best if not the actual most bestest fun part of the game! :D It gives it a lot of longevity and it makes you want to go back to play it after hiatuses, like I did.
And thanks for all the explanations and answers, now I understand a bit more.
How can I join the discord server? :) Can I post there too? Is the discord preferred?
After a long hiatus from this game, I came back to give it a try again. I lost my touch a bit and I lost three or four runs before winning again at Calamity mode, but I did it. I like the new items and the minor changes here and there!
Question: Is Tuskal still broken? I avoided it to not "cheat" but I would love to use it again if it's been fixed.
Anyway, win with a weird team here. Not my old "three max levels" monster team, strange enough. I just healed through everything, lol. Techni-Support for the win!
Dunno, it feels way harder. Lots of items that appeared a lot before don't appear anymore. Dragon Scale, Iron Will, all the legendaries... As you can see by the items of this run, I did not find many rare ones. Not as many as before. I used lots of uncommon and it was HARD XD
Also, Tusk now feels pretty ok! I managed to lose with it so yeah ahahahah But it was not a great loss. It feels ok! :D

Question: Does "latent power balanced" give +5% to allies' stats EVERY time Arcane Breath it's used? Like, does it stack every time for the duration of the battle?
Oh, and is the 5% relative to the new stat or the original one? Like, if the stat is 100 and it becomes 105, is then 5% of 105 or 5% of 100? Does it gain more and more exponentially?
stacks with every use, but does not compound. so it just goes 100->105->110->115 NOT 100->105->110.25->115.7625
Okey Dokey, thanks
I have some problems with discord (with my account, not the server) and I can't check. What are the records for the candy contest at the moment?
Yes, I'm asking if my 7 is still on top or if someone got 8 and I have to grind XD D:
no changes so far!
Great, thanks! What about the infinite one?
dave's most recent one here is the current highest i believe!
Congrats, you won the standard category! People came close but you held on at the top. Let me know what alt skin youd like to see, and for which monster. feel free to post it here or message me on discord and I'll see what I can do
mudgil (with the spyglass and another mana on hit item) is my new favorite you can have him in semi permanent cast mode
and I got some new favorite fusions
the healing tome with the ring of power that,
the invulnerabillity helmet with the green taunt orb
Very very cool. Well done! I usually don't like the healing tome and the invulnerability because they get rid of the already very useful active abilities monsters have, but I see you gave them to Chikia and Gora, who have useful abilities but sometimes not as much useful as the others. It's a good strat and two very nice merged items!
Last time the candy record for infinite mode was 51. Is it your 60 now? :D
Its the most I have seen but it should be pretty easy to get some more if you got a good run. I love the speed average thing chikita does for many reasons. So far my best was loop 7 but with little candy.
I really like the orb helmet combo too. also oo I like the tome on gora cause he can get a big boost to healing from the tier 3 ability
Weird bug: monster didn't change sprite after evolving?
I was doing an infinite mode lv 5 run and evolved Gheist right at the final boss. Gheist weirdly gained the new stats and its trait "terrifying end", but did not change sprite. It never occured till now. Super weird. Maybe it has something to do with the altered skins for the halloween event?
Massive pikachu that doesn't want to evolve into raichu vibes here XD
hmm thats the 2nd time someone mentioned this happening, but I havent been able to cause it myself. I do think its related to the alt skins.
My mind was very deep into strat in that moment, so I'm not sure what I did, but I have the habit of evolving and pressing the "continue" icon to go to the new tile of the run while the monster is still evolving, sometimes. Could it be related to that? Is there some weird stuff with the animation? Dunno, just throwing hypoteses out there owo
Damn it. A 6 candy run. I was doing very well in the first two areas, but the last one didn't give me as much candies as I hoped. I'm still trying to reach 8 to secure the win at the end of the month. That 7 is fragile XD
Also, it was hilarious to find Master's Sai already in the second "tile" of the run.
that event is a bit of a treasure trove :D
will this ever be on steam?
Probably, but for sure if you play too much of it, like a lot of us fans are doing for the candy contest, YOU will be on steam! :P <3
i would like to get it there
I think I discovered how to regain lost wounds without items or rest or events.
If you have the "Haunted" synergy and a monster with the "Supportive" type, you can wait when a monster dies and then use the Supportive Super effect. When the monster dies, thanks to Haunted you don't gain a wound, but when you heal the monster back to life you actually heal a previous wound.

Dunno, maybe it was something you already knew?

Thanks for sharing!
using candy is tricky due to the debuff, hitting speed or HP really hurts over time
By the end of the month, I know I will not be able to do lv5 runs anymore. I'm doing too many lv1 just for the candy contest. Lol.
I got 59 candy for infinite had a 51 candy run then I read on discord how to stack
monsters ._.
?
What do you mean by "stack monsters"?
theres a little way to get around the 1 of each monster rule. If you do egg sense in the nests in zones 2 or 3 to find a specific egg but dont hatch it, you can still find that same monster in future nests. This is because it only checks if you currently have the monster to exclude it from the list of possible monsters.
loop 7 is how far I got, the first time they shredded me the second I didn't deal enough damage
2 great runs! I like seeing Chikia and Krog too
Oh wow, so tricky. Do you think you are gonna patch it? Or do you think it's fun that way? I have no opinion on it, personally.
currently not going to patch it unless it causes something really broken
This is the meanest trolling ever XD >>>>:(
:D
funny part is that you cant even buy candy
>:D >:D
i buried the note and still got the good deed effect
wiped loop 6 boss, the best bonus was the +10 food when I dumped it into meals at camp sites, got the +100 speed mask and had the chikita
400 int tizik
Tizik with the "Heart of the and Acuity" is hilarious. Nice run!
candy for dinner! I think people are sleeping on how good meals are
I keep getting 4-5 candies. I got that 7 at like, the third run on sunday, and now I can't get past 5, not even 6. It's harder than I thought. If someone can manage to get 8 I don't know how would I able to get more. The grind is hard XD
My first attempt for candy
the +50 enemy mp really did me in I think
still a good haul! yea that curse is really dangerous
Longest normal endless run, didn't expect these guys to live for so long but I'm glad the strategy somehow worked. Haunted + Hydrim cheese mostly but all my mon focused on spread out damage. Using super to reverse deaths with Life Force is probably the only reason they made it so far.
life force is a good strat :D, spread out damage can be risky as the monsters get stronger tho
This is the best skin that ever existed
Yes.
My longest run, turns out regen is the best stratagy.
Nothing special this time for runs or candies, but I wanted to show this:
Boy oh boy XD It was a beauty to behold.
everybody's getting harvesters lol
It's that time of the year. When you reap pumpkins, candies and void monster souls <3 XD
7 Candies in Standard Mode :) Best one so far. Just doing a bunch of lv1 runs to see how can you find candies. I'll check out later on the discord server to see there how it's going. What's the max reached rn? And what's the max you can reach, theoretically and realistically?
Oh, also, the alternate skins are very fun ahahah. For now I found Frankie-chip and Yoshi-chikia :P
as of this time the records are 51 infinite and 4 standard, well now 7 with yours
also im happy you recognized who they are
51 INFINITE ahahahah, amazing
I have to try the infinite mode still, with the candy hunt. I hope the patches help with the memory problems ^^'' I suspect it is also pc-dependent so... We'll see.
I'm very happy about my 7 then, yay! :D I got very lucky. "?" battles aside, I found candies around. The turtle sage gave me a candy and also some random battles gave me one. I was very surprised!
I'll grind some more in the future and I'll try the infinite one.
Question: I found hydrim with their new red skin. I don't get who they are. Are they a red moon, maybe? Are they blood? >:-P
battles have a very low chance to give a candy, but theres a few events that give them as well (some dont say if they will tho like that one). Hydrim is just spooky blood yea lol, that one and one other are just quick recolors.
For now I found the sage turtle master and the one where you fall and take 1 wound in exchange for 1 candy ^^ Still not any better than that 7. I was hella lucky. I got 5 max after that. Never 6. And in the infinite mode I only got like 19... -.-'' How the heck did they reach 51?!
On a good note, I reached the boss on the 4' loop and it did not crash the game! Not sure it will keep so, doing longer runs, but my pc freezed the game at that point, before, so the patch helped at least a bit! :D
Oh, also, question: Is there a difference in playing at different levels, for the candy contest? Is playing at lv 1 and 5 the same? Or do the candies at lv 5 count more?
no differenc, higher levels will just be harder!
Perfect, thank you thank you thank you <3
I'm simply amazed by how much work is being put into this game. I love it. Can't wait to try out the new balances and the october fest :D Thanks Jay!
:D
First run of the update.
t i just want to petition for a god mode difficulty, where maybe you make it harder to die. I might want to suggest some new features in this difficulty.

Using the same monster twice, choosing which items giving to them... It would be super useful to try out strats before doing actual runs! :D
i agree. maybe it can be used along with god mode?
This run I did this
Last run I did this: Biolante and Godzilla vs the world
thematic :D
Calamity Level Infinite Mode - 2 Loops and a bit
I know it's calamity, but after reaching 3 loops the last time I'm a bit disappointed at only 2 and a bit. I thought I could make it, but I got drank with power and tried some very crazy combos that really don't care about defense at all ahahahah ^^'''
It was fun nonetheless.
Here is the final team.

Oh, also! I humbly thought of an idea that I wanted to share, don't know if it's interesting. What if Seras is or becomes immune to poison? Very often I found myself thinking "she is a snake, and a venomous one, why does poison affect her?" XD I know it's a "narrative" side of thinking and maybe it doesn't work on a mechanic-balancing standpoint, but dunno, I found it an interesting idea. You can ignore it or pick it up as you wish of course, it's your game u,u
hmm possibly! It would certainly help mechanically because Seras likes long battles and well... poison gets really dangerous the longer you wait. If it were to get added, immunity would be too strong though, it would have to be something like resistance.
Resistance could also be cool indeed! :D
It happened to me too. Jay answered saying that "currently you are only allowed to get 1 of those "area blessings" from the events, but theyre abit stronger now". I don't know if they meant in infinite mode only or in both the modes.
Laser is correct, atm you can only have one of those. Its unclear cause it only states it in the patch notes
good job! I see you have the 50% healing curse too which is one of the hardest
This game is really great I loved it <3
thank you, thats great of you to say :D
I just noticed that the Heavy Shackles slow down the animation of the monster holding them ahahah. Nice little detail!
Freezed game :(
I was doing a run at lv 1 for fun and to see what's exactly beyond loop 3, when the game crashed. On the web window briefly appeared a pop up that said something like "out of memory, please if you are the developer do x and y" :/
I'm on mac and google chrome.
Unfortunate :( I wanted to run the game at normal level later, to see how far could I go with that, but if the game crashes after the 3 loop...
Sigh...
was it running for awhile? I will be trying to optimizing it more but for the moment try to close and reopen your browser after a few runs.
Was it for that? Yesterday night I left the computer on (in "pause" mode) before going to bed. Good to know it could be just that.
it would only happen if the game was still open. Oh and I forgot to answer about the discord, theres a link at the top of the description of the game page.
It happend again :(
Translated from italian "An incorporated page in v6ecc... says:"
This time I turned off the mac, then restarted it before playing. Nothing. It crashed exactly at the final boss of the 4' loop.
Luckily it was only another 1 lv run, so nothing major, but yeah :(
I had the best of the teams :'-)
My jittery Skimander fused with merged Dancing Leaf Spear + Bloodmist Mask and the charm that halves the stun was pulverizing everything </3
Sadness
Thanks for the discord, I'll check it out asap :)
3 Loop and 1 Boss Run in Infinite Mode at Calamity Level! :D
The Team still Healthy a bit before dying
The End
Parra with Dancin Harvester (which she didn't use much before the end, unfortunately). I think she helped a lot with her speed, tailwind and the magical sinergy with Wyrmlet.
Seras with Gravity Hammer (because why not?). This was the first time I managed to beat the final boss at the first loop and I did not know that later on I would not be able to take crystals, anymore, and so Seras remained at 2 stage. Who knows how far would I have been able to go with her at 3 stage! Next time!
Gora with Living Armor+Living Root. Gora was the healer of the team. I really liked the Root Restoration ability. And nature with Woad is always very cool. I started the run with Woad and Gora.
My boy <3 Woad with Living Crest (Living Armor + Yggsomething Crest). Tank of the team. Who needs Defensive monsters? :P Also, Dark Harvest was amazing! I managed to get killed only one monsters in many battles, to trigger Dark Harvest and not suffering the wound thanks to Haunted Sinergy. Lots of food this way! It was not enough to surpass the 4 loop, unfortunately, but het, 3 is not bad! (I think?)
Wyrmlet with MEGA HEART OF THE OCEAN. Yeah. Finding Wyrmlet later in the run was amazing. I knew it would have been key to spread dmg around with its ability. And Power Overflow + Mega Heart of the Ocean + Magical + Maginuts to reduce Mana + Stuff around = LOTS OF DAMAGE
I forgot to check them at the moment of death, but these are the curses and the blessings just 1 boss shy of the final moment (I think? I don't remember the exact moment? Maybe it was after the boss...)
The item curses are really scary rng. Sometimes they are nothing special, sometimes they are SCARY, sometimes are actually useful for you (like when they get an item that replaces their ability, but it's very rare).
The blessings are very cool. The potion one is amazing. I don't know if it's possible to find it after only one loop, but if it is, WOW. The chance to find the salve that heals 2 wounds is great. It helped a lot.
Final Stats
Final thoughts
I like Infinity Mode a lot. It's hella hard ahahahah! In the end, every battle felt like a boss battle. It was very very hard. I wanted to save the game, rest and go back to play later on, but here on web I could not do it :/ One day maybe it will be possible (?) :D
Thanks again for making and sharing this game Jay, it's great.
A question: What's the highest loop you and/or anyone reached at Calamity Mode right now? I want a leaderboard XD
P.s: Maaaaybe I found a bug? I had the Nature Synergy but this event didn't allow me to get the blessing. I don't know why. Maybe something with the Infinity Mode? It never occured in the past in the normal mode.
Wow that was fast, 3 is great! I usually only get around that on normal mode lol. I always say this but I really like seeing how different everyones strategies are. There should probably be an earlier warning that the eggs and crystals are not going to be available, but it might be spread out more next patch. With the item curses I think they will need to not give items to end bosses, cause their abilities being replaced completely weakens them. You are correct tho, the Greater Blessings you get for beating the loop are dependent on which loop you are on (after 3 you just get a special potion too). Most people dont play on calamity in infinite, but I think the highest normal mode loop I saw in the discord was around 8. In regards to the Poison Grove, thats not a bug, currently you are only allowed to get 1 of those "area blessings" from the events, but theyre abit stronger now. I'm glad you are enjoying the update!
Yeah, for sure the personalization aspect of the game, that allows you to choose different strategies, is one of the best if not the actual most bestest fun part of the game! :D It gives it a lot of longevity and it makes you want to go back to play it after hiatuses, like I did.
And thanks for all the explanations and answers, now I understand a bit more.
How can I join the discord server? :) Can I post there too? Is the discord preferred?
I'm back!
After a long hiatus from this game, I came back to give it a try again. I lost my touch a bit and I lost three or four runs before winning again at Calamity mode, but I did it. I like the new items and the minor changes here and there!
Question: Is Tuskal still broken? I avoided it to not "cheat" but I would love to use it again if it's been fixed.
Anyway, win with a weird team here. Not my old "three max levels" monster team, strange enough. I just healed through everything, lol. Techni-Support for the win!
Now I gotta try the infinite mode! :D
welcome back and well done! Thats alot of added synergies lol. Tusk was nerfed, maybe too hard so could be a new good challenge to win with lol
That's nice to hear! I'm gonna try it out!
Is it me or is it now more difficult to find rare/legendary items?
it shouldnt be harder to find any
I like the shouldnt ahahah
Dunno, it feels way harder. Lots of items that appeared a lot before don't appear anymore. Dragon Scale, Iron Will, all the legendaries... As you can see by the items of this run, I did not find many rare ones. Not as many as before. I used lots of uncommon and it was HARD XD
Also, Tusk now feels pretty ok! I managed to lose with it so yeah ahahahah But it was not a great loss. It feels ok! :D
my tactic is to upgrade karakai to unleashed, reduce his mana and increase his intelligence, and just enjoy a almost constant beam of death
hey everybody, what do you think is the most op team composition (up to 6), i think its scutter, tuskal, snake, skimander, urso, mudgill
swap urso with karakai, why am i just now learning he literally evolves into godzilla
i finally won, before today i raged that i cant beat normal mode, but i can get through 2 loops and reach the boss on the third in endless
well done! Normal mode definitely isnt easy :D
well done!
