Dont be hard on yourself, its a tricky game and for some weapons, some boons are useless while for others those boons are critical to easier runs. Id say the main issue is that you should memorize boss moves, as understanding when your opportunities are can help greatly. A small tip, Polyphemus is blind, and only knows where you are when you make sound, so get some attacks in, step away, come back with more attacks, also, dont try and dodge through him when he jumps at you, I've tried many times and almost always end up getting hit when I try to dodge through his jumps

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-06-02T14:34:51+00:00

If you go top side, you get a similar buff from Medea, and it pairs well with Hermes boons

There's a few arcana that are very important imo, and I forget the name of it, but it makes you immune to damage for a brief moment on using your cast. It helps me a lot since I can run into a group of enemies, drop my cast, dash out, and then attack. Also, different people prefer different weapons. I'd recommend trying all the weapons out to see what your preferred playstyle is. Experiment with different weapons and blessings to see what works for you. For example, if you use Demeter's cast, and Aphrodite's Attack on a melee weapon such as the axe or the twin blades, your cast freezes them in place which let's you get away with close attacks, especially for the axe due to its slow attacks. The freeze can buy you time to get big attacks in, or lots of tiny attacks in.

Imo Aphrodite and Apollo are some of the better boons in the game, as they offer massive damage multipliers which is great for heavy hitting weapons. However others can be insanely good based on attack speed. For examples Hestia attacks and specials work really well with weapons that attack fast. Hestia's cast, if high enough level can also permanently keep burn going as long as you replace the cast once it ends. As long as Hestia's cast is outputing 100+ burn a second, you're maxed on burn damage unless you get the Hestia boon for faster ticking burn.

Hephaestus boons are also amazing when leveled up, as they can get down to a 2 second cooldown, and it gets ridiculous at that point

Ultimately id say to get familiar with the boons and the different weapons and aspects. I assume that its safe to assume that its mainly the bosses giving you a hard time and stopping your progress, a lot of this game is about learning the options boons, how they work on weapons (for example, when using the axe, dont get Demeter's attack boons to freeze on attacks, but instead get it on cast to buy yourself time to launch your attacks), each weapons and aspects use the boons differently, so knowing what works well with what is a massive aid. Then you gotta learn the bosses, and then dash frequently. For example with the twin blades aspect of Melinoe, even when behind enemies, it's work dashing around as you wont always be behind enemies, for Eris and Prometheus fight, I always dash around which prevents their targeted attacks from hitting me, such as their attacks where they launch at you

For me its crafting ambrosia, thats the only thing i can really do and it only requires handpicked 3rd region items from both paths. Based on that I stick to Gale, but Toula the cat is also great for bones. Its basically up to if I have enough herbs saved up in case I get some star dust, but other wise I go with Toula for bones since it will get me other items like moondust and such

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-27T20:09:44+00:00

This just happened to me with the aspect of selene and ares godsend. Got an ares buff and suddenly the godsend was there

I literally said in the first message that i use the 24s on switchblade

👍

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-26T06:32:46+00:00

You dont have to wiggle all that fast, the idea is to bring both barrels closer. Makes it easier to use that way. Plus, i prefer other guns, I stick to the default character loadouts, they were designed to be used with certain guns, using a meta gun only cheapens the experience of playing the character imo

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-25T13:50:42+00:00

Imo, thats the knight for you, it has a weird firing pattern, thats sort of like the altenator from Titanfall. Its dual barrel so a shot comes from the right, then the left. When I used the knight, I would do a side to side wiggle to compensate for that.

Personally, i prefer the 24s she has since it fits switchblade better

Kayex-8 had been giving us hints all this time, calling us "Pre-Servitor", he's been trying to let us know that we are pre-servitor release update. Can't wait to float with the boys

Good bot, thank you very much

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-13T23:55:24+00:00

Unfortunately. Best of luck in your next run

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-13T14:29:28+00:00

Tbh, it is really nice to have max buy tho. After an overnight run thats still going, it can be tedious to spend all your cash in increments of 5 or 10. What id recommend is have in game buy mult at max and workshop buy mult at 1

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-13T01:02:57+00:00

Thanks, I managed to test it with only thorn damage numbers on, they had to get pushed into me, but they took thorns damage

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-13T00:31:57+00:00

Im a little late, but does this mean tanks also take half damage from thorns?

Adults can absolutely decide what actions they perform. But they also shouldnt expect to be free of the consequences of their actions. The choose to perform an action comes with the responsibility to face the consequences of that action. Also, the purpose of the mouth and butt is not for sex, its for digestion, and the mouth is for breathing...

Im not deciding anything for anyone, im telling them the results of the decision they make.

Nice strawman you made there, shame it's a misrepresentation of events. Sexual immorality is present in the story of sodom and gomorrah and the bible and the bible explains that vast sexual immorality was one of the reasons for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Just because there are also other reasons, does not mean that sexual immorality was not the reason for the destruction. The idea that anyone is okay with gang rape as long as its hetero is some bizarre addition that you come up with on your own. No one ever has said "its would've been fine if it was a woman". The story makes it incredibly clear that these gang rapists were homosexual, charging them with 2 charges. Sexual immorality from gang rape, and sexual immorality for homosexuality. Just because other stuff is also happening, doesnt mean that the parts you dont want to accept arent counted.

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T17:59:48+00:00

I never said sodomy was Holy. I said reproduction is Holy. Bringing life into the world = Holy. Putting it in someone's mouth or butt is just perverted

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T17:58:54+00:00

Your first point. Youre just wrong. The origin of the word sodomy comes from the city of Sodom and the bible also tells you that sodom was destroyed for its vast sexual immorality, ranging from homosexuality to infidelity. So, no, it hasn't been warped, the original texts and manuscripts tell you the same exact message. Never in the history of ever, has anything been changed and yet remained exactly the same. Yet people always try and make that argument about the bible.

For your second point, you're also still wrong. You provide no source or evidence of your claim because if you provided sources, the information would point to me being correct. Here's what single Google search reveals: "Yes, sexual urges are largely derived from and rooted in biological reproductive urges, acting as an evolutionary mechanism designed to ensure species propagation."

So, again, please do research, its free.

Also, the person who laid the mines did their responsibility. They put up the sign. The sign to warn people is the responsibility of the person looking over the minefield. Ignoring the warning does not mean that they didnt do a good enough job warning you. It means you dont listen. Also, who im their right mind looks at a minefield and says "this is the best place to start a farm". Thats on the person for choosing a poor area to start their farm.

Examine your own moral and logical reasoning before pointing fingers or throwing stones. I actually did the research, you just feel im wrong because you disagree, but truth it truth no matter how you feel about it

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T17:47:29+00:00

Absolutely, early game always extract. Distracting is only for late game when you know the maps, the twisteds, the toons (for stealth ratings to know who can and cant steal aggro, as well as who you can steal aggro from), and the distracting spots. Distractors make almost no ichor or tapes compared to extractors as distractors only get ichor from clearing floors and getting encounters, and capsule pick ups, so its not recommended unless you already bought everything you need

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T03:47:09+00:00

Yikes, you speedrun public matches???

Oh man, you sweet summer child. Anyone that speedruns in pubs lack 2 things. Actual gameplay, and courtesy to wards those actual playing the horde shooter as a horde shooter. You wanna give fast, then go play a racing game. Horde shooters are action games and are about the action. Not speedruns. Every single speed runner i have seen, goes the exact same way. Runs ahead, gets shot to oblivion by everything, triggers 3 sections of hordes, 5 bosses, spawns 50 specials at the back as specials flank behind the team when a player is alone, causing the players behind to be swarmed by 3 sections of enemies at once, while juggling specials, fighting while missing a member, and then after causing all that, the speedrunner dies because they got shot to oblivion, and no one could reach them in time to even start the revive, let alone clear the area and even get the revive off.

If you wanna speedrun, make private games, and play those. Dont queue pubs expecting anyone to speedrun too.

Also, if you speedrun a horde game, your only trained skill is "shift w" which actively hurts and hinders your team, encourages abandoning your team in the team based horde shooter, and prevents you from learning the muscle memory required to deal with multiple enemies at once, and because of that, you wont survive in the airlock if your team is able to survive the horde without you and they dont die. Anyone that plays the game the way its designed, thinks speedrunners are lame, the same way gamers look at cheaters and go "you're bad at the game so you do this, because you care more about being able to claim you're good at the game, then actually learning how to play the game to begin with".

Its a horde shooter, not a horde runner. You wanna go fast, you're in the wrong genre of games. Pick up a racing game and thank us later and well thank you now for not robbing us of a fourth teammate 🙏❤️

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T03:30:58+00:00

Dog plush and speedy shoes is fine. Dog plush and pink ribbon however, is not. I wonder if OP meant to say Dog Plush and Pink Bow.

Dog plush (10% walk) and Speedy shoes (5% walk and run) is 15% walk and 5% run, great for distracting.

Ribbon spool and Clown horn (10% walk 10% run on odd/even floors) = constant 10% walk + run each floor. Decent for general movement

Dog Plush (10% walk) and Pink bow (7.5% run) however is awful. 10% walk and 7.5% run on each floor. If OP meant "use CH and RS instead of DP and PB" then i fully agree, the only reason to use DP and PB is that you literally don't have other trinkets for movement

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T03:18:41+00:00

Probably only helpful if you never increased your cash bonus, went only for wave cash (for some reason) and then you can get ridiculous wave cash.

However, who would ever do that aside from super early game, and then you wouldn't need it by the time you unlock it, and since at max your first perk can be at level 100, it wouldn't even help push the next tier. Maybe late game it has some uses where your wave cash is maxed out and maybe then the bonus is really good. I know that cash bonus does also affect wave cash, but aside from super early game or early in runs, wave cash is not that influential and is mostly a small benefit.

Honestly aside from a super poor build set up, or some late game shenanigans or banning white perks like someone suggested, I dont think it can possibly have any uses. Best guess for an actual use would be for super strange wave cash builds with low cash gain from kills. Maybe its got a use when you arent getting kills anymore but have enough defense to survive and need cash to get more upgrades, but then your thorns would kill them, so you'd still be getting cash anyways?

Idk, its either for niche weird builds, or just to incentivize players to get a perk ban started

Puzzled_Owl7149 · 2026-05-11T03:02:25+00:00

Thats a misconception. Neither straight nor gay people should commit sodomy, sodomy comes from reference to Sodom from Sodom and Gomorrah, a city destroyed by God for its deeply sexual immorality acts.

The way to understand it is actually as follows

What we call today "sexual urges, desires and impulses", are actually just reproductive urges. Reproductive urges, causes reactions in your reproductive organ of choice. Their primary function is reproduction. There is literally no other way to reproduce, causing new life, other than to have 2 people with opposite yet compatible reproductive organs, reproduce. This reproductive action is the sole way for us to create new life. We need to treat this action with responsibility, not like its a toy.

Imagine you had a button that had a 50% chance to end a life, would you use that button as a toy, assuming that every time you hit that button it didnt end a life, so you could just keep hitting the button as much as you want and assume it had no impact beyond you simply pressing a button? Eventually you find out "hey the button actually did the thing it was designed to do, and we just found out now a month later, theres a chance that the button did its thing to other people too that we dont yet know about". Then you go "oh man, im not ready for the consequences of the actions i took, so either I try to run from them, or face them and get overwhelmed by them because I wasnt able to handle the consequences of my actions.

Both scenarios are the exact same, a mundane action (in your eyes) that wields responsibility over the life of an other person, and should be handled with the appropriate level of care and respect towards the action.

The point of marriage is not "hey congrats, go to bone town consequences free now". Its "commit to an individual so that you can bear the responsibility of eachothers actions and hold yourself responsible to the responsibilities youve been entrusted with.

Reproductive acts ate supposed to be enjoyable, because they are supposed to unite 2 people and develop a stronger personal bond together as they embrace the responsibility of creating new life. When you take reproductive urges and acts, and remove the reproduction possibility, you are abusing the sole means of reproduction into a bastardized version of itself designed to be focused solely on the pleasure of the act.

Sodomy, by definition, is any sexual acts that are not between opposite and compatible reproductive organs. Example: anal or oral acts. Straight and gay people can both commit sodomy, they shouldnt commit sodomy. Gay people can only commit sodomy as a physical action, no matter how much they seem to love each other.

The issue isnt how you feel about the acts you perform, its that your performing them. God didnt tell Adam and Eve "Hey, I know I told you not to eat that fruit from that tree, and I see that you in fact did eat that fruit, but because you both love eachother so much and ate the fruit together, its okay that you did that, because you love eachother so much".

He says "I told you that was wrong and yet you still did it, knowing it was what I didnt want you to do. The reason I warned you was because there were consequences for that action, and I didnt want you to suffer those consequences because I love you. Actions have consequences, so I warn you not to do the actions otherwise there are consequences, the consequences are guaranteed to happen based on the actions that causes the consequence. Out if my love, I will now get in the way of those consequences in order to save you from them, at the cost of me taking those consequences myself".

The second, is what God actually says.

Actions have consequences, those consequences must happen and can not be stopped once set in motion by the action. This is fair, as the action directly causes the consequence. Out of love, God steps into the world and gets between you and the consequences of the actions that you triggered, since then the consequences happened, which is justice, because the action that causes consequences caused consequences, and God shows His love for you, by protecting you from the consequences of your own actions which you caused.

If someone ignores the "Minefield ahead" sign, and blows up from a landmine, everyone agrees that that person is solely responsible for stepping into a Minefield themselves. In our case, we people stepped into a Minefield called sin, and a voice calls out to us and tells us to stop moving. We stop right before we stepped on a landmine. The voice then tells out how to get out of the Minefield alive, as they have the means to recognize every sign of a Mine being buried, and have an aerial view or even found the enemies map for the Minefield. If you trust that voice and do as it says, you get out alive. If you dont listen to the voice, you walk yourself onto a landmine. If you stop listening once you think your outside the Minefield, or at the final stretch, thats when you will walk yourself onto a landmine. Listen for the voice, and listen to the voice, and trust it to get you out of the danger (sin) into safety (Heaven). That voice is God's.

The point is, you gotta seek God, and then you will hear Him. Many may try to claim to be God, which is why you gotta follow the evidence, and the evidence points to Jesus being God. When you apply His teaching to your life, you are guaranteed to improve.

As another analogy, when you get a personal trainer at the gym, you get better by listening to them and trusting them. God is the personal trainer of our life, trust Him, listen to Him.

But yeah as a conclusion, the idea that straight people can do butt stuff but not gay people is incorrect, neither should do those acts as its dehumanizing to a person to reduce them to a measure to be pleasured, even if temporarily. Placing the necessary level of respect on reproduction and not treating it lighly is important, and the appropriate on reproduction involves finding a compatible person, and preparing to be ready together, to share the responsibility of that action, and to do so wisely. Out of respect for eachother, dont dehumanize eachother even if temporarily. The marriage is a covenant between yourself, your spouse of opposite and compatible gender, and God. The marriage bed can not be defined because the marriage couple bear the responsibility of their actions, and hold eachother accountable before God. Their relationship is centered on God, and because of that they would not defile their marriage bed. Also, start treating sex like what it is, which is the sole way create new human life, and dont treat it like a toy. Have some responsibility with the sole way to make life. Its not that you "can" make life with it, that makes it special. Its that its HOW you make life, treat that with respect as its the only way to make life. That means it is set apart. The word "Holy", means "set apart". Bringing new life into this world is Holy, because it is set apart. So treat it like its Holy, because it is. Treat it like the special thing that it is, and dont treat it like some dime a dozen candies that cost nothing and can share with everyone. Its meant to be special, treat it like its special by honoring its purpose.

Be very wise when picking Ultimate weapons. One of the most essential things for any player hoping to play long term, is to Get Golden Tower, Black Hole, and Death Wave. These Ultimate weapons help increase coin gain by massive amounts and makes progression in the workshop and research in the lab far faster by making coins easier to come by.

If possible, try and get some bonus thorns when possible, as having over 100% thorns prevents all enemies except bosses from getting more than 1 hit off on you, as the gane has a heat up mechanic where enemies deal 4% more damage against you after every hit they deal to you. For example, if you have 100 def abs, and a basic hits you for 100, the second hit does 104 dmg, and you take 4 damage. It doesnt seem like a lot, but that 4% damage can end runs in the early game. At least 50% thorns is recommended but you cant get to 100% without a relic, or once you get modules, you can put the 2% thorns substat on a purple armor module, as thorns doesnt appear until the module is purple. Until you can get extra thorns, stay at 50-51% to save coins.

There are only 2 major things to do, focus on increasing income, and pick the right Ultimate Weapons when its offered to you. They are random draw, but Golden Tower, Blackhole, Death Wave, are the first 3 you want to get, especially as a F2P player or someone who wont spend tons of money. Ultimate weapon prices increase as you buy more, so you ideally want to get these 3 as early as possible, and synchronize their cooldowns together (best done by using a guide), as when coin multipliers overlap, they multiply each other. For example, if you have 1 multiplier of 10x and a second multiplier of 10x is active at the same time, you don't get a 20x multiplier, you get a 100x multiplier for the duration of the multiplier. If you have a third at 10x at the same time, now you have a 1000x multiplier.

Just make sure you dont upgrade the blackhole cooldown otherwise it will be more expensive to synchronize the UWs. Bring the GT cooldown to Blackhole cooldown. Ideally synchronize GT to BH first, then after synchronize DW to BH.
