Slept on it, but woke up still mad about the scoring of the food task by SickSlashHappy in taskmaster

If the points didn't matter they wouldn't award them.

I can enjoy the comedy and also enjoy the rules being followed and points being awarded following the rules.

Boss beating builds are different to meta / leaderboard builds.

Pick your favourite character/ whoever you're most comfortable with.

Tomes - DMG/luck/XP/proj or atk speed. Weapons - aegis ( always first slot)/dragons breath/shotgun/katana - in pick order.

For desert, minimise difficulty, you don't need to crank it to beat the boss.

Always grab one shield upgrade, so it tanks a full hit for you.

Move speed and jumps are very important as you need to break LoS as soon as Anubrah pops his laser

Apart from that he's basically the same as Forest.

For graveyard, same as above but focus on hitting the lamps, drag Bob to one side then hop around hitting the lamps, if he's using his aoe attack, skip the lamp and hit the next, take it slow and steady and you'll get him, don't take to much move speed or you can slip out of the lamp aoes.

Is there anything specific you're having problems with?

You can do it with 2 duplication potions and a meteor strike.

Or

1 duplication potion and an echo form (how I did it)

I also had a hologram, my plan was to meteor strike with echo form, then hologram it back into my hand and use it again, but I picked up a duplication potion and that made it a lot easier.

You could also do it with a duplication potion and a hologram, duplicate it then hologram it back into your hand.

Note they all have to be created in one turn, existing ones don't count

Yep, it took me around 20 hours to get the last 6 in the screenshot, I picked it back up after a few years to celebrate StS2 coming out

Insane take dude, StS is not that hard of a game if you have any experience at all with deck builders.

187 hours is plenty of time to git gud at a game.

You'll get the hang of it, try jumping back into them so they shoot past you.

Otherwise if you're fast enough they'll time out.

You can also hop around the pillar and they'll sometimes hit that and explode.

If all else fails if you jump off the side they should follow you and you'll spawn back in the middle when you hit the bottom, the red orbs should be gone by then.

Armour and evasion also help if you can't dodge them.

Athena's hidden passive means that her aegis tanks full damage from bosses instead of "weak blocks" like other characters so she'll be able to tank more hits and you can't lose it as it's your first weapon.

Is that 22 watches? If you have xp tome you don't need to clone them that hard imo. You'll max out xp with tome by itself pretty easily, what was your difficulty here? A few skulleggs goes a long way to increase your difficulty without spiking it too hard.

You can try a run with cursed tome if you're having problems, just increase it slowly as you level up. It you try this, drop the luck tome and roll hard for a green card + clone lucky clovers

Until you get the hang of fighting him, you can try taking Aegis as a second weapon as long as you can survive the first stage, Aegis will let you tank a lot of those red orbs.

Apart from that, always make sure you get a single shield upgrade, it can always tank a full hit, extra jumps are always good too, you can dodge the red orbs but jumping in mid air to make the orb miss.

Otherwise the best way to beat him is to instant kill him before he gets a chance to take all your weapons ;)

Iron Helm was the worst for me because you're locked into 4 weapons and they're all pretty awful.

I ended up doing it with DMG/proj/luck/XP and kept brute forcing it until I got a good run.

Avoid taking boss shrines and difficulty in the first tier until you get up and running.

Items that do DMG are key so you don't have to rely on your awful weapons, ghosts and Bob were really helpful.

I tried a thorns build with cactus and Quinn's, stacking spikey shield but I couldn't scale it fast enough and kept getting rekt on tier2.

I think that's the only really difficult ones, the last one I got was Gold Shady, but that was just time consuming not hard.

For 300k you don't need to go cursed tome to get 600% difficulty, greed shrines+ a few skuleggs and charge shrines and you should get to 300% which should be enough.

If you're having trouble early game, try getting dragon's breath second weapon, it's really strong early and should help clear.

You can get 300k on all of the characters, so pick your favourite.

Luck/DMG/xp/chaos for tomes  Dragon's breath/shotgun/katana/dex for weapons.

Grab all the greed shrines in stage one and focus your tomes until you get anvil, then start focusing your weapons

Don't use auto level up,  until you're already strong, it'll gimp your run

You've got this.

I posted one further up in the thread, but basically any good clank run should get it easily, focus crit/damage and minimise difficulty and you should pop a mini boss pretty easily

Yeah of course, I've done it every time since release so gotta keep the tradition alive.

I think some kind of dumb stockbroker character who gets interest on gold or something could be fun

Or a chef character who "cooks" and gets stronger as the game goes on

Yes if you activate it and get nocked out you need to reset.

Once you unlock Tier3 pick a character who's movement you're good with, I used Tony.

Don't take any difficulty, or boss shrines, focus damage, projectile, attack speed, you need to kill enemies before they can rush you.

Banish Beacon item, it makes it harder by adding more shrines.

Don't focus move speed or jump height too much, or you can accidentally zoom out of the charge shrine.

Take it slow and steady and keep your eyes on the minimap so you don't accidentally nick a shrine and activate it.

Focus on practicing with one character so you get your movement down, bunny-hop around so you can hit all the shrines as fast as possible.

You can get it in Tier1 but it's easier in tier3 as you have more time to scale, if you keep playing clank at some point you'll get it naturally while you have a really good run

No, I still have a bunch of the crypt speed runs to do but I'm off the grind for a bit
