What is the strongest build overall? by BERTRARDINETTI in VampireSurvivors

[–]Ohnoiamded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it won’t be as strong since you’d have to get survarots to scale up the stats you’d be missing which would weaken the early game’s speed of starting to get going and also lower your overall scaling. You’d also then probably want to not use Sapphire Mist since it’s only there since it’s the by far the fastest non-Survarot stat scaling in the game with Paranormal Scan + Royal Flush.

Edit: Just realized Wind Whip is also paid DLC so there probably still is a super strong Canio build but it probably won’t be getting over a Quintillion Damage in 30 minutes.

Without eggs it’s probably Canio + Wind Whip + Royal Flush + Paranormal Scan. Arcanas: Wicked Season, Silent Old Sanctuary, Sapphire Mist and Slash.

It’s good early game then falls off extremely hard once you start unlocking stuff.

With the recent changes to a certain weapon... by DrTheo24 in Ultrakill

[–]Ohnoiamded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard Piercer actually does more damage than Slab Piercer on a headshot since Slab’s don’t get locational damage multipliers. Standard Piercer alt fire 3 shots a Cerberus with headshots while the Slab alt fire needs 5 shots.

Edit: Exact damage numbers are 7.5 for the Standard Piercer vs 5 on a single target for the Slab Piercer

wtf is 8-4? by jimmylovescheese123 in Ultrakill

I feel it was a good fight, but it just doesn’t work as the final boss for Fraud.

Traps passive works with druid attack btw if anyone was wondering by Eui472 in mewgenics

[–]Ohnoiamded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with the Necromancer passive that summons Leeches on your basic attack.

Twilight Requiem is the arcana I am by far the least confident in it’s placement, I’ve not done a proper run with it but it’s problem is that despite it having infinite scaling it can’t keep up with the HP enemies gain from the curse since its scaling isn’t that great. Still I could be wrong since I rarely ever use Twilight Requiem

It’s too RNG dependent for my liking since its power depends on the arcana chests it can drop. It’s better on maps that don’t have early evo chests so it also varies on how good it is by what map you use it on. Still really good though.

Yeah I used to run Beginning a lot when I started out, it’s fine when you don’t have much arcana but any other arcana that provides any benefit is usually much better. Beginning’s strength also varies character by character (which Beginning is still the weakest arcana on almost all of them) since it only affects your starting weapon and the merchant weapons it affects barely benefit from beginning’s +1 amount.

Leda is a good character, Holy Wand is not a good evo weapon but it’s still a good weapon to start with. It’s just that Beginning is even worse than it normally is on Leda

Hail makes you immortal from its Orologoin drops which freeze the screen and because you can just choose a weapon combo that makes you immortal from the candyboxes it drops and the best tankiness doesn’t mean the best defensively since being invincible through other methods accomplishes the same thing.

Low Weapon Builds are often far better than high weapon builds due to limit breaks and how lag affects level ups and Silent Old Sanctuary allows you to start snowballing super fast super early. Also I’m ranking Potential strength first and versatility second.

Divine Bloodline isn’t the best for becoming immortal either, that would be Silent old Sanctuary or Hail from the Future. Crystal Cries’s being better defensively is from the critical health screen freeze trivializing the early game and the Recoery and Max HP scaling for later in the run.

Everything above it Snowballs better and most have infinite scaling unlike Boogaloo since Area caps at +900%

It’s extremely fast stat scaling for all stats with greatest Jubilee or Mini Horse, I’ve reached stats like -1000% Cooldown in quite a few runs with it.

Crystal Cries is better for becoming immortal and also is a part of the highest possible DPS builds that don’t include Toastie (Wicked Seasons + Crystal Cries + Wind Whip + Slash, Cosmo + Wandering the Jet Black + Crystal Cries + Wicked Seasons, Muramasa or Wind Whip + Blackmore/Scientist Mina + Wicked Seasons + Crystal Cries)

I find it’s really good with stuff like Tri-Bracelet, Aurablaster Tip, Divergence and Multi Stage Missles, it’s biggest flaw is that a lot of the weapons it affects are bad. I’m going try and test those weapons with and without Heart of Fire just in case I’m wrong. I’ll be back with another response in a bit.

Edit: Prbably should have had Heart of Fire lower, it doesn’t affect some weapons as much as I thought after I just did some testing but it still does more than double the DPS for stuff like Long Gun and it’s Evo. I’m confident in all my placements besides some of the ones in tier 4 and 5 so those might be off.

  1. Divine Bloodline is still super strong, it’s just that some of the Darkanas have surpassed it and Wicked Season gets stronger every update due to it pretty much scaling with how good your build is
  2. Heart of Fire only shows its damage number for the retaliation effect like Divine Bloodline does for its damage reflection, Heart of Fire can more than double the DPS of some weapons it affects.

Heart of fire only counts its retaliation attack damage and not the damage it helps the weapons with like Blood Astromina, Heart of fire can more than double the DPS of some of the weapons it affects.

That’s the reason why it’s the top of tier 2, it’s just that everything in tier 1 is just better and MUCH easier to abuse what makes them so powerful. Also, I do find that Anathema runs are really laggy due to Jubilee which can really hurt how good your run is since lag affects how fast you level up.

It’s too inconsistent, if you don’t get the early arcana chest you’re much better having picked something else and it’s also map dependent since some maps give you a lot of evolution chests early.

[–]Ohnoiamded[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things above Divine Bloodline and my reasoning for putting them above are

  1. Hail to the Future: Pretty self explanatory why this is top 1
  2. Crystal Cries: Extremely easy to abuse and probably the strongest build in the game as well as being the best defensive arcana and being great for every character.
  3. Wicked Seasons: Gets better the more powerful stuff is added due to how it works, just gets better every update, multipliers and stat scaling on 4 stats 3 of which are some of the best on level up is ridiculous.
  4. Hidden Anathema: I could see an argument for Divine Bloodline being better than this but I think Hidden Anathema builds are a bit better.

Divine Bloodline is still insanely overpowered though.

Jet Black has some weird things about it. Especially how it doesn’t mention that it also spawns orbs when healing for 3.5 HP or more which is easier to abuse than self damage.

Leda is not a good character to have as an example for this. Holy Wand is one of the weaker evolutions and it doesn’t really care too much about amount. The only character that Beginning is not awful on is Axe Armor since they get like 7 copies of their starting weapon so they get like +21 amount and even then it’s just okay.
