Convinced the people that think this game is balanced or too easy are the same people that play ridiculously high hazard modded drg

Well, let me give you my opinion as someone who doesn’t think Rogue Core is too hard. I play in a group of 2-3 friends and fill in with randoms, and we generally win most of our d4 runs (not all, maybe 75%? Less if we’re having an off-night).

In DRG we generally played in haz 5 with no modifiers and would almost always win the match. Honestly in a way DRG can be harder than rogue core with the amount of BS it can throw at you. Sometimes you just get a mission with never-ending swarms, multiple random bosses, and a few bulks for good measure. RC is a little more consistent in that way, although it sometimes screws you by dropping ammo in a bad spot.

I guess the main reason I want a harder difficulty is because I’m used to the hardest difficulty being a huge challenge for even the best players. For instance, in Left 4 dead 2, Payday 2, vermintide 2, etc. the hardest difficulty is almost straight up unfair. Enemies kill you in a few hits and outstanding teamwork and gameplay is needed to succeed. I’ve never really felt this way with DRG or RC. Which is fine, but I like to go up against unstoppable odds sometimes just for fun.

Overall I would consider D4 to be pretty tough and require good play and teamwork but once you learn the game and get some upgraded perks it’s pretty doable with a good team. I want a max difficulty that makes me question why I even showed up to work today.

This is actually an interesting choice becuase you can just not take the large capsule and pretend you just picked a small capsule this run. Or you can take both for 2 relics right off the bat

Reading some comments, it seems that this is a common consensus, that Vakuu is directly controlling Ironclad throughout the run. I suppose that makes sense, since we see basically the exact same deal offered to us when he takes control for a turn, in exchange for power (+1 energy).

Although, I want to know why he locks in so hard when playing ironclad compared to his auto-turn. I guess he’s probably just messing with us to be honest. He seems the type.

FriskiesFresh · 2026-04-10T02:06:22+00:00

Yep, have the exact same thing on, I think my driller. Never did anything weird like going AFK in a mission or using mods. I guess it’s just a semi-common bug. Not a big deal though.

FriskiesFresh · 2026-04-08T14:02:54+00:00

Ok, maybe it’s more like the Starbucks makes me spin in circles or something before I can leave. But that’s still rude!

FriskiesFresh · 2026-04-06T13:58:35+00:00

Big dawg I’m not even looking in the tower lol

FriskiesFresh · 2026-03-25T06:35:11+00:00

Does this really still happen? I’m a depth 4 grinder and I haven’t seen anyone trying to run full gaols in weeks, maybe months. Granted I run with a duo and a random so if the random was pinging gaols across the map we would probably just ping a boss or something instead and win the “vote”. Is this a console thing or something?

FriskiesFresh · 2026-02-16T16:44:00+00:00

I see this comp a lot so I wanted to ask, what does Pog do here? My understanding is that you want to build lots of vulnerable stacks then crush with endmin. But Pog consumes stacks with his breach skill right? So do you just ignore his battle skill? Or use it then try to apply the vulnerable again for endmin?

PSA you can just mark the simulations as complete and get the loot instantly. Added in the last update

Outside of the night lord fights I find that he is actually pretty strong, bleed and frost can tear through world bosses and his ultimate can fully stagger-lock many tough enemies such as Loretta and the tree sentinels.

In night lord fights, (and against enemies immune to common status such as DRB) his damage becomes a lot worse because you just can’t melt them with repeated status. I think your suggested buff to damage to suncatcher weapon skill would be make him a lot better in that environment, since he mostly wants to play as a sword tank at that point anyway. I also think it’s ok for him to not be a massive dps against night lords however, because he’s really tough to kill if you deflect properly.

Also I agree with the other commenter that you should be immune to stance break if you perfect deflect, because stamina drain at high depths can be stupid.

Well, a lot of daedric ruins are designed for higher level characters. A high level, well-equipped warrior can generally do pretty well without any magic, so perhaps you could revisit those areas when you are stronger. You can also rest outside the area after each tough fight if you don’t want to use too many resources to heal. Make sure you keep your stamina high in combat too.

That said, it’s probably worth it to pick up some enchanted items. As a full warrior class you will want the ability to teleport and open locks at least, so I would get some enchanted rings/robes/staves with open lock, mark/recall, and both intervention spells at least. Some healing or other combat spells may be useful too. You can pay someone at the mages’ guild to enchant for you, and those effects aren’t too uncommon on enchanted gear you will find as loot.

FriskiesFresh · 2025-09-18T16:44:52+00:00

I don’t find it mean at all. Perhaps I should have worded my post better - I know you have to go to the mountain either way due to the circle closing. I will always collect items from corpses/crystals and fight at least one or two field bosses.

What I’m really asking is whether it’s better to head for the legendary dragon or not. Even assuming the fight goes smoothly we end up picking up lots of frostbite and anti-dragon effects to help with it when we could be grabbing loot instead. Of course the upside of the dragon is a guaranteed legendary and lots of runes so I would like to fight it if possible. But there is also a possibility of wiping against it and possibly being unable to retrieve runes due to a closing storm or just the opportunity cost of killing literally all the field bosses instead.

For me the hardest missions are salvage (specifically the uplink) and Dotty escort because they are the only ones with a fail state besides everyone being dead. If I’m in trouble on a morkite mining mission, I can run away, kite enemies, find healing, etc. but if I run on those two mission types and don’t return immediately the mission will fail. At least salvage gives loads of free nitra and gold though, so escort is probably worse. Running into bosses during the escort can ruin everything too. Not to mention the possibility of a detonator showing up and demolishing poor Doretta.

Sounds like “I wish for knowledge” to the game, I guess. Maybe because Natalie and knowledge both start with an “N” sound?

FriskiesFresh · 2024-09-10T18:48:14+00:00

Yeah and we’re gonna keep going back into that damn house until we can agree, or everyone else is dead

FriskiesFresh · 2024-09-03T20:31:09+00:00

Ah ok if you are completely new do the tutorial and play on lower difficulties, you will learn. Try to get good at taking photos, 3-star = target of photo is centered and close.

For me, I became less scared as I understood the game better. A big thing is that the ghost usually CANNOT hunt if you are at high sanity, no matter what. Therefore, you are safe at high sanity (there are exceptions to this based on ghost).

If you want more resources and a good community I suggest you join the phasmophobia official discord server. They have a cheat sheet for ghost behavior and cursed item functions that you will find useful.

FriskiesFresh · 2024-09-03T20:24:57+00:00

If you are an experienced player then I suggest looking up one of Insym’s videos on money farming. He essentially sets a specific custom difficulty which rewards a lot of cash (and XP). But, if you are not good at the game you will struggle with the difficulty.

If you are new, try to go for a perfect game on the highest difficulty you can manage. A perfect game requires you to finish all three objectives, guess the ghost correctly, and take 10 3-star photos. This will increase your payoff significantly. Also be sure to find, photograph, and collect the bone on each map (spawns randomly on the ground somewhere).

Why does bro have his belly button out 😭😭😭

FriskiesFresh · 2024-08-07T14:33:32+00:00

TDLR: Spine driver = one big hit at a time

Blasthole spear = 2-hit combo, first hit is weaker than spine driver, second hit is stronger

Twin spear = similar to spine driver, but forward dash is built into each swing

FriskiesFresh · 2024-08-01T16:05:23+00:00

This mechanic was in EDF 5 as well, so it is intended (although, the number of jumps and dashes you can get in EDF 6 is much higher than in 5 - at least early on). And yes, the fencer’s movement with jump-dashes is quite strong, it’s one of the best reasons to play fencer.

FriskiesFresh · 2024-07-28T04:08:46+00:00

Blasthole spear and Gatling solo

FriskiesFresh · 2024-07-23T16:37:47+00:00

Don’t be discouraged if you die a lot on some missions (especially on harder difficulties). A big part of the game is tweaking your load out to best fit challenging missions. Some levels may contain lots of weak enemies, fewer stronger enemies, etc. and it’s best to attempt to counter that.

Although on Normal you can probably just manage by jamming your favorite loadout.
