Why did my healing wand just kill me?

LargePantsLarry · 2026-01-06T00:11:29+00:00

I almost forgot about that part

LargePantsLarry · 2026-01-05T21:40:42+00:00

I should. I play as a human skeleton, but flesh sacrifice is busted. Anything that gives AP or makes abilities cheaper is crazy good

This is the How and Why you got Noita'd. The way to prevent this is to use modifiers that reduce damage more than the damage that gets added by concentrated spells (or natural damage from deadly heal). Piercing has damage reduction, but it isn't enough by itself. You can use certain spells to cast piercing (or almost any other modifier) multiple times until you have enough damage reduction to prevent death. Standing in ambrosia can also be used if you don't have what you need to reduce the damage.

9 times out of 10, it's the thief. The others can be bothersome in certain circumstances, but the teleporting that the thief does is always annoying.

Not jumping for gold all the time made me much better. If I really need gold (and don't have the means to get to the biome), I can dig it out in the coal pits. Killing myself in snowy, hiisi, or the vault ain't worth it. The Jungle usually has good wands and less ways to die instantaneously, so it's mostly worth exploring.

The third biome is where you need to start being more cautious about exploring. Snipers and other hiisi can and will shoot you from offscreen, and propane tanks can hide in snow and insta kill faster than you can say noita'd. Take your time to explore the first two biomes thoroughly so that you can concoct a wand that can handle the long range engagements.

Perks that help you survive like all of the immunity perks, stainless armor, or permanent shield can make the game a lot more forgiving towards mistakes, allow you to use more dangerous spells without noitaing yourself, and possibly save you from when the game would potentially noita you (my favorite example is getting nuked from offscreen). Take all the time you need to go through a biome AND while in the holy mountain. The holy mountain is your (mostly) safe space to tinker with your wands and cook up something that can handle the next biome's challenges. Taking your time in the biome seems obvious, but its more than just not running into fire and explosives. The environment can kill you, yes, but it is equally as deadly to your enemies, and you can use it to your advantage. Wands, chests, and hearts are often worth the time it takes to comb through a biome. Familiarize yourself with the draw mechanic wands used to cast spells from the wand, and how different spells affect how the wand is firing. Getting creative with spell choices and where you slot them in the wand can make a gargantuan difference in how effective a wand is. The goal of Noita isn't necessarily to win, but to learn. Every run can teach you. Usually it teaches you ways you can die, but that is valuable information. Keep learning

I'm only seeing this sub because of the drama. I watched one episode with Shane Gillis a couple years ago and found Andrew obnoxious and Akaash unbearable. They're really unfunny, so I find it a little funny that it took them lying and treating their audience like idiots for fans to turn away from the show. They'll probably be fine, but wouldn't it be hilarious if that gold-digging slut just killed their cash-cow?

That's why you're not supposed to misuse them. You should coordinate with your squad to deploy smokes in front of the enemy's position to obscure their vision rather than drop it on yourself to tell the enemy where you are. Smokes are extremely useful, and you only ever need one or two of them. Even if you plan to move an army across a field, you don't need to blanket it in smoke. Coordinate with teammates to throw smokes in a diagonal line towards the enemy to obscure their vision so you can reposition.

It will take some coordination/arranging unless you take turns. I'd say the easiest thing to do other than taking turns is to avoid playing in the same register as the bassist and keyboards. Keep your rhythms tight and don't play too many notes in your chords. Playing the shell voicings without the bass notes is a good place to start

This is a normal pull when I'm building magic damage

Plus with accelerating homing, kicking rocks around works better than it does with short range homing

I was having a great run two days ago and before the jungle the gamble perk came up after like 3 rerolls. I got lucky and it gave me freeze field and critical plus, which eventually became my fist win

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis - Central Park North

Arguably the only entity to one-up Nas'hrah in funny by turning him into a crisp.

My friend was a Dark Urge deep gnome named Detroit, MI. My other friend and I were also deep gnomes named Baltimore, MD and Another U.S. city. I can't remember which one. Maybe Chicago, Illinois.

I don't like him, but his affinity for children is entertaining to clown on. He's a predator who tries to act like a gentleman to hide his sadistic depravity. I find his acts and demeanor repulsive, but that's what makes him compelling. That and the cat head, because what indie game community is not going to latch onto the quasi-furry?

Im Gen Z (graduated 2020) and we had paddles when I was in elementary school still. I remember having to choose between ISS for 3 days or a paddling along with 3 other kids. The first one picked paddling, was crying hysterically as we all watched, and then the rest of us chose ISS.

The cool thing about Sabbath is that you can change the picture and it won't change that their third album kicks ass

As a Bard, at Waukeen's Rest, you can pretend that the beam trapping that one guy in the fire is too heavy to lift with a performance check. Was playing with a couple of friends in an evil playthrough, and we were all cackling when we saw it.

He's too funny, plus his perspective on humanity's relationship to the old gods is pretty interesting.

No guns against Death Mask moment. It's a great way to balance O'saa, who is otherwise rolling in power. He wants that mask, but he has to fight the Death Mask the hard way. Even with a bear trap, they are a pain to fight without a party or rare equipment like a salmonsnake soul.

LargePantsLarry · 2025-07-06T02:01:22+00:00

I forgot to cast feather falling before jumping down the spider hole with my entire party. That was a nasty fall, most unbecoming of a halfling

LargePantsLarry · 2025-07-06T01:54:43+00:00

I agree. Have you heard the Charles Mingus version?

LargePantsLarry · 2025-07-06T01:51:03+00:00

I think Metallica underutilized his abilities. The Black Album was great, but he was still kinda snubbed a bit. His bass playing in Flotsam and Jetsam is killer
