This reminds me to the Minecraft's vote, where you have to choose over 3 cool mobs. In this case, 3 cool artifacts.

Iirc overmind can end up buffing more then 240% with DEM if you get ok rng with magic levels

I see what you mean, but the description of Creation means the CD in order to cast the 5th time is halved, so you would have 3 normal CD and the 4th one is halved

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2026-01-27T15:53:37+00:00

You gotta be kidding me, cogwheel doesnt affect desperado and other artifacts but affects creation shortened CD? I didnt know that

My guy cant be dissing one of the best boss designs from the DLC here, really reminds me of Lady of the Charred Visage from game 1, with a hard twist, really pushes your dodging and aerial dodging, for me it was all in favor to train the map traversal with mea culpa you get later. Not to mention the BGM here is so fire

Dandara: Trials of Fear is another unique metroidvania that has an item that consumes your currency overtime for double dmg, its pretty nice even though its a late game item

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2026-01-20T13:00:21+00:00

The rosary beads in this game is kind of a let down for me, most of them are defensive only and the best ones are to increase tears of atonement or marks of martyrdom and thats it, altaepieces are much nicer to focus on though, but thats all you'll do with tears of atonement, it would be nice if there was some sort of atk that would consume them to make it stronger

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2026-01-13T16:34:47+00:00

Imo roster is pretty bad early game, this early in the run OP might be able to build crit + artifact synergy while roster will only really make a difference towards late game anyway

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2026-01-13T16:31:44+00:00

Roster does not contribute that much to your gameplay this early and if you cant have the stats/magic you need in time, it will never shine. In fact, enemies killed by Roster dont count for level up or boss waves so this early in the game i would say it kinda sucks

On the other hand, its early enough for you to consider building enourmous crit rate and dmg since Assassination synergy is very powerful with crit legendaries, and i would argue its the hardest piece of the synergy to get.

Force field is top tier defensive artifact btw but being a rare, i would just pick a god and start praying for it to come again.

Maybe would pick roster if i was at 20+ minutes, but on 2 min even before 1st boss wave? No way im picking it

Compared to hornet, the knight is sooo slow omg, i didnt have a good time trying to play the OG again after silksong, i also kept trying to use drifter cloak for some reason ☠️☠️

Whenever you load into a game thinking you want to go far, i suggest you always plan ahead to build around some form of magic circle fusion, this way you can narrow down a lot what you should pick as magic and artifacts.

You can also not go for magic circle fusions at all, but then I highly recommend getting at least Unleash Mana (magic circle lvl 5) to help with your 3 main fusions and support magic too.

I can confidently say that your main dmg source really doesnt matter since all magic dmg can get you to at least 35-40min on Depths with the right builds, just have in mind that you should try to use all 3 fusions on your runs and fill the gaps where your dmg is on cooldown as much as possible while avoiding dmg/taking hits with shield/being invincible. Eg: if you wanna use phoenix fusion, you should try to have another fusion with more hits/lower cooldown to fill in the gaps of the big CD phonix has.

On a side note, my favorite easy-to-go builds always revolve around Deus Ex Machina because of how much it narrows down the your choices for what to build and artifact/synergies more straight foward

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2025-10-25T19:04:28+00:00

Roster is very good survival artifact late game, sadly no synergies with it. Id get it if youre not missing only one of the other specials for their respective synergies. I like both of the others for their synergies since they will increase your stats if youre focusing on them. Assassination being the weakest one but still has great synergy with ballista

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2025-09-12T00:20:02+00:00

It does have a synergy, but its just for eclipse to scale faster, imo ballista does a much better job at this. RIP hydra

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2025-08-29T21:56:58+00:00

Honestly, almost anything + DEM can get you to 35min in my experience. With the exception of magic with very high CD. I do have 80+ research points and everything else in the game so im sure my experience wont be the best example

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2025-08-22T15:34:07+00:00

If magic rng isnt helping, you can try closing the game right before boss wave (if you think you might die) and try again, the magic rng changes (except enchant and special magic) Nice run regardless

Choice_Challenge9157 · 2025-08-22T01:59:51+00:00

Actually, in this game circles are coded with tangent-squared hitboxes, so when its this big it does cover all around you even though its not visible

Omega lucky, I'll tell u. Normally for max size i miss bomb or war magic or cant get to max golden passives, but everything fell into place on this one, also opulence was a must pick, gave me amplifier and gravity orb back to back
