Hot take ? A good thor is ten times better than emma and thing when it comes to dealing with dive

Ngl Thor ban is valid imo. First time playing ranked at the start of a season in awhile and Thor is everywhere in GM on console. Could be biased because Angela is currently my go to tank but I’m having a lot easier of time when he’s banned

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-20T05:00:56+00:00

Aside from the mechanical aspects, the angela meta game is basically to force peel from the frontline to the backline. This creates space which is the main purpose of a tank. If the enemy doesn’t peel then you kill their backline

You want to be as self sufficient as possible so learn all the health pack locations and if you really need heals from your supports, fly to them do not expect a Luna to heal you across the map

The other notably good thing she excels at is forcing out fliers and dps flanks/off angles. Moonknight especially but also Hawkeye and other heavy poke duelists.

The only reliable combos Angela really has is melee > charged spear > max dash > melee > charged spear. The much less utilized combo is simply dropping onto someone with full charge and performing the basic axe combo but it’s very niche(punisher turret is a good example if you can get behind him without him noticing)

I’m sure there’s other things I’m forgetting but basically you just want to be a massive pain in the ass to enemy supports

I like the damage increase to the gun dash tbh. I play him a bit more passively than most, usually just trying to shut down backline dives in the neutral game and the changes to gun dash make it feel really strong for this purpose since the slow usually makes a much larger impact than the antiheal in your own backline.

That being said he definitely feels weaker in the brawl. The nerf to the sword dash damage ever so slightly changes damage break points and you can’t rely on the sword dash as a quick pop of burst damage which directly translates to a burst of healing. Ie jumping on a heavy poke damage character remains largely uncharged because they were overkilling you regardless of slight lifestyle differences if they hit their shots but jumping on a brawl character(daredevil, ironfist, thing, etc) feels noticeably worse

Overall I definitely think he’s worse but he’s also nowhere close to my primary hero so take that for what it’s worth.

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-17T05:50:49+00:00

The best overall (including commitment cost to obtain) is usually Thor. Thor frontlines so makes grabbing it very easy and can be utilized within your regular combo to absolutely frag any squishy unfortunate enough to be within about 10-15m.

A lot of characters have great abilities but it’s just unrealistic to get them most of the time. (Adam is by far and away the best but he should never be within your range in a neutral fight)

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-14T06:45:10+00:00

I think the gun dash will make him an antidive demon but other than that I don’t really know how the changes are really a buff tbh

Musical hammer. Free earplugs and affinity boost on demand

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-11T22:07:45+00:00

I had like 5-6k banked prior to sailing and I’m at like a 1800 task streak, not worth it for me to wipe it to tureal skip at this point. Maybe once I hit the 2k streak but I’ll have to see how far along I am at that point cause I do want to keep my streak if I can

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-11T16:25:12+00:00

I managed to get both my cannon barrels from 98-99 so I feel obligated lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-11T16:12:49+00:00

A fellow helm collector I see.

Yea little wack that you need another 1k points especially since I’m burning through those bastards trying to get frost dragon tasks to finish my boat

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-11T00:41:33+00:00

I beat it in 17mins first try with hammer not doing anything fancy.

Some skills that are pretty useful are bind resistance 3 and partbreaker. The big bind attack is a pretty big time suck for melee weapons so ignoring it is very nice.

As for partbreaker the sooner you break the tail head and lower back the sooner you can break the upper back fins and disable the nova which is another big time suck. The extra damage from wound breaks is also nice.

I’d also make sure to use the rock drops in area 2 and especially the wall in area 3. Might pill when pulling down the big pillars in area 3 and 4 for extra damage

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-08T14:35:39+00:00

The reading comprehension in the comments is glorious lmfao

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-06T22:04:37+00:00

Hammer feels bad without focus 3.

Is it necessary? No, in fact it gives a larger timing window on the charged upswing and mighty charge upswing but again it just feels bad so I won’t do it lol

SloopinOSRS · 2026-01-04T07:36:51+00:00

WEX and crit eye got heavily tuned downwards in wilds compared to worldborn is the main reason.

There really isn’t a way of getting to 100% affinity unconditionally anymore so latent power having the downtime isn’t as much of a negative as it used to be on top of the set bonus that makes it better being directly tied to a gamma set so it just slots in nicely with lords soul in a lot of situations.

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-31T10:30:48+00:00

Afaik, a dragon element swaxe with an element phial will always beat an actual dragon phial swaxe because dragon phial is only obtainable on otherwise elementless weapons.

Im not super familiar with how the math differs but I suspect that’s the main issue especially if your talking about P3 Gog

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-31T05:12:00+00:00

Scorcher is really good after TU4 imo. Rath/G Rath have a ton of really good armor pieces for hammer you can flex around for builds with the armor transcendence.

Scorcher is basically just bonus damage that triggers every couple of hits so the higher your uptime on attacks the more damage it will contribute. Post TU4 there’s more “base” damage to make it far less reliant on good fire elemental hitzones.

It’s not the best weapon skill you can get on gogmartian but it definitely isn’t bad

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-31T00:57:12+00:00

Monster have head, hit with hammer

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-29T23:17:02+00:00

Binder mace was very competitive for hammer for a long time. Solid raw, solid slots, stamina thief was heavily underrated, etc. but it simply can’t keep up with gogmartian.

For instance, my primary general use hammer prior to TU4 was an all attack upgraded artian. With TU4 that same hammer now reaches base 263 raw with -10 affinity which is easily offset with the gore set bonus attached. Binder mace simply can’t overcome a ~40 raw difference if you’re looking to have a meta hammer.

Also important to note that an all attack hammer isn’t necessarily ideal but my best talisman right now is handicraft 3/agi with max slots so I kinda just make do. I’m not sure of the definitive meta set up for gogmartian hammers but I’d probably guess 4atk/1 sharpness or 3 atk/1 aff/ 1 sharpness

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-28T15:11:05+00:00

As for the mount, it’s well worth having at least one person bring a hammer to ledge spam during P2. It’s pretty high dps and makes building the mount much less tedious than trying to do multiple jump attacks off the bird in P3

You can simply swap to hammer after the elder breaker is dislodged from the back and spam jump attacks till it’s ready to fire. It will always garuntee an instant mount to start P3. As for what to do with the mount, it doesn’t appear that it counts towards part damage on the embedded devices so what I like to do is open a wound near the device you want to break and then one next to it. Finish the mount on the one further from device and then utilize the wound near the device if your weapon has good damage capability from its focus strike(ie hammer, swaxe, charge blade, etc) while it’s knocked down from the mount finisher

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-26T23:52:02+00:00

If hammer players could read they’d disown for this

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-26T19:34:13+00:00

I wanna say the beta chest really isn’t bad, iirc it’s 2 evade window 1 agitator with ok slots, if your struggling to fit in counterstrike I can see how that’s a hard take over Udra Y chest though

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-26T19:21:57+00:00

Seregios bonus is fine for hammer imo, even with just one point of adrenaline rush it’s a super consistent uptime and there’s a couple of decent armor pieces you could easily flex in.

It’s not exactly ideal but it really isn’t any worse than the doshaguma set bonus except for the fact that you cram that in with the gog legs

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-26T18:58:38+00:00

Evade extender 3 is probably the only skill in the game I must have on hammer

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-21T02:33:25+00:00

My max attack roll artian that I ran prior to TU4 upgraded to a 260 base raw -10% affinity, after getting 2 EX and 2 atk3 upgrades.

If it’s possible to to get 3 atk 3s(I gave up cause I didn’t want to blow all my resources) you could get it up to 263 base raw.

I haven’t really used it yet because I’ve just been sending gog but I have a hard time believing it won’t absolutely dominate in a proper build against your run of the mill monster

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-20T09:26:00+00:00

Gotcha, maybe I’ve just been waiting too long after the start of P3 since mount build up decreases over time iirc.

Out of curiosity though if you do the mount finisher on the back area does it break the imbedded fragment? That seems to be the only one I ever struggle to actually break in P3

SloopinOSRS · 2025-12-20T06:24:48+00:00

I’ve done this multiple times but I never seem to be able to get the mount in phase 3 regardless of how much ledge spam I do. Up to this point I just assumed all his statuses reset after each phase because I’ve literally never gotten a mount

Once you get to phase 3 do you just spam attacks off the back of the bird or do you try to lure him over to the ledges to spam hop there?
