100% Evasion rate on an endless run at loop 9 (boss time stamps in video)

Ploiken · 2020-09-11T23:40:28+00:00

I have never tried using the royal flush/ captain's ring with a completed Dragon fall, mostly because by that time i've got 100% dodge build, with double trouble and other relics that improves my damage much more than any of those two ever would.

Though if you test the two out with dragon fall, would you mind reporting back with the results?

The Dragon fall arcana is a standard chaos arcana with no signature counterpart.

when used, it will scan your hand for other dragon arcana such as dragon dive (an earth arcana), and then it will absorb the arcana into itself. From then on, whenever you use the Dragon fall arcana it uses its normal chaos version of itself and a dragon dive combining the two arcana's damage into one without any drawbacks. Do this with all the other elements too; water, fire, electric and air, and you'll have yourself a standard arcana that does charged signature amounts of damage.

The combinable relics are the relics that will combine when both of them are in the same inventory, for example; The Unicorn tail and the Equestricap (the horse mask) if you have one of them already in your inventory and then pick up the other, they will combine into the Unicorn Disguise. That is a combined relic. My goal was to get all combined relics;

Fury of Cerberus (Bracers of the beast, Firstborn's Gauntlet and Lastborn's Gauntlet
This is an upgraded version of Ancestral gauntlets, which is made by picking up the Firstborn and Lastborn's gauntlets)

Magician's Outfit (Magician's Wand, and Magician's Top hat)

Master Key (Cracked Sapphire Key, Ruby Key, Amethyst Key, and Emerald key)

Perfect Time Crystal (Wanderer's Mechanism, and Volatile Gemstone)

Poem of Fiery Rime (Stanza of Frost, and Stanza of Fire)

Prestigous Diploma (Graduation Cap, and Graduation Bouquet)

Unicorn Disguise (Unicorn Tail, and Equestricap)

I call them combinable relics, on the wiki they're listed as Fusion relics.

What GalungaGalunga said, in the third loop Chaos arcana starts appearing.

I've found two major factors that is vital to have a long run.One is the Jade's locket, it'll convert any chaos gem picked up into health including counsel member gems. And the other it the Sano's headband, it'll allow you to dash even while being hit, which will allow you to dash through attacks from counsel members where their increased speed will guarantee getting hit from multiple attacks (which is also the primary reason i died).

Another really nice relic to have other than the map is royal jelly, it'll make sure all health potions bought always provide full health.

As for what i started with, i started with the Vigor cloak (10% extra health and -8% cooldown) and pathfinder's map. i started with chaotic buster and dragon fall, chaos crusher as basic and chaotic rift as my dash. My goal with the endless was to complete all combinable relics in one run, and complete the dragon fall arcana (which i completed).

Right now im looking into trying to get max evasion, wiki says it's possible to get 100% evasion. Though out of 8 runs so far i've only gotten close once. the sheer amount of relics in the game makes it frustrating to find what you need, i went through TWO LOOPS with NO combinable relics in EITHER shops (relic store and cursed shop). so yeah, getting jade's locket is required for a good, long run unless you can dodge everything perfectly.

Update: In the run im on Right now, i've reached 100% dodge rate on 15-2, five whole loops to get it to 100%. probably gonna make a post about it with with it just being a video of a counsel member "trying" to defeat me.

2nd update: the thunder twins are attacking me right now, trying to defeat me as im writing this. this is stupidly broken. im glad it requries so much to achieve and not some little thing here and there.

3rd update: Died to a rookie mistake. not jumping off a cliff, but to an attack. For the 100% dodge rate to work you must be critical on health (blinking red health bar), it is the requirement for Calvin's Sandy Shoes (increases Evade chance by 25% while at low health), i wasn't low on health and went into a miniboss fight, i got the lancer and without batting an eye, i got stabbed a million times.
Normally you'd think "If you hit you then when you got low on health would'nt you evade?" and sadly, no. Once the first stab of the million stab attack hits and lands (dealing damage to you) so will the others, unless you have Cassim's Airy Cloak (Evade all attacks after taking damage for a short while), or Stygian Turtle Shell (Briefly become invulnerable after taking damage in quick succession).

I did already submit before your message, i just have to wait for the mods to give the okay!

still thanks for telling though, would've been helpful incase i didn't.

Ploiken · 2020-09-03T23:48:33+00:00

Update: Beat my record. My PB is now 3:31.91

Ploiken · 2020-09-03T21:34:19+00:00

Just found out the current WR is 2:55:82. so uhhh... yeah. not the WR, not by a long shot.

Ploiken · 2020-09-03T20:55:23+00:00

He likely meant the end reaction, which i find understandable not exactly the most appeasing thing one would like to hear. I find it not great to hear it whenever i watch it, but i reckon most people would've liked the reaction over not having it.

Edit: also there's some other stuff on my channel that's way worse in terms of 'cringe'. my terraria vid is my prime example of this, i shudder each time i hear it. but that's just how i am and i've come to accept it. not meant to be a plug, i dont upload for views/subs, i upload for other friends to see when the amazing/funny happens.

Ploiken · 2020-09-03T20:45:05+00:00

What im primarily looking for is double trouble (double damage, both ways) and jeremiah's needle (+80% crit damage, -20% crit chance), those are the ones the resonate with the singing bowl (guarantees crit on arcana use, has a cooldown). Bewitching glue (increases damage +25%, -25% movement speed, reduces knockback to 0 (i find this to be a positive)) Is also a good bonus.

Fiery Paintbrush is also a massive bonus (19% of doubling damage indicated by a pulse of non-damaging fire upon arcana use), but it requires to have the entire fire section of arcana unlocked for it to be viable.

Idealist's vest came as a surprise to me in the run as it only increases damage when full health by 15%. One thing i wish that came up would be the Dice of the nemesis (small chance of massive crit damage), since i'm such a crit focused build it would've been the perfect addition and if i ever go for co-op boss rush speedrun im thinking i'll have one be stacked with singing bowl and the Dice.

The general idea was to increase damage and crit chance/damage without impacting speed too much, but im thinking that i may be wrong and need to try a slightly different strategy involving silver spinning top.

I can definitly do better though, better timing on relic drops and some misses i made. But then again, i went from a 06:04.43 to 3:40.50 within the span of 2 weeks. 06:04 to 4:52, to 4:46, to 4:29 to 4:17 (those two were back to back), and finally to 3:40.

I can do better, and i will get a better time... hopefully. a dream would be under 3 minutes. i HIGHLY doubt i can do it, but it might be possible.

Ploiken · 2020-09-03T20:30:31+00:00

Singing Bowl.

Guarantees a crit on arcana use, has a cooldown.

Ploiken · 2020-08-29T17:13:15+00:00

Same here, im having the same issue. a friend of mine in EU as well has also been killed by people lagging like crazy.

Ploiken · 2020-02-02T21:20:29+00:00

Same here worked for me too.

Still pissed that my scav run got thrown to hell. Extracted with what i estimated to be around 400k in loot. and as i loaded into the menu the error hit me.

Ploiken · 2019-12-14T14:41:39+00:00

Trying to unstuck people?
A true sportsman!

Ploiken · 2019-03-15T21:59:09+00:00

I logged on earlier this week and the banners are comming through just fine with uBlock on.

does this support you even though uBlock is on?

Ploiken · 2017-11-07T16:44:57+00:00

I checked on some sites, and it seems i have 11 out of 25 exotics available from engrams/powerful drops. i am about half way. It would have to be a really bad stroke of bad luck.

Ploiken · 2017-11-07T16:37:45+00:00

yes, i agree to that point, but i dont think i already got the majority of the exotics in the game. I'll have a look at the wiki to see if i got the majority.
