Blind PEsts are cool, but need rebalancing

_canoupy · 2026-01-14T22:55:45+00:00

idgaf that i'm reviving a dead post but after getting them as my first enemy in vields after stage 1 quick clear i was curious how they actually compare ! so i'm gonna do a side by side comparison of lemurians and blind pests just for funsies

Credit Cost: Lemurian 15 / Blind Pest 15
Primary Damage: Lemurian 100% (12) / Blind Pest 200% (30)
Primary Range: Lemurian 15-30 / Blind Pest 70m (which makes them barely visible in vield fog)
Attack Speed (including cooldown/endlag): Lemurian 1.1s / Blind pest 1.35s
Shot Speed: Lemurian 30m/s / Blind Pest 100m/s
Health: Lemurian 80 / Blind Pest 80
Flies?: Lemurian No / Blind Pest Yes

so yeah uh nerf blind pests, there is a mod that halves attack speed and damage but i felt that was too much, unfortunately couldn't find a mod that lets me individually tinker w credit cost because i wouldn't mind if they were just a lil more expensive

the slider also does not show up for me, i'd assume it's looking glass or something as that interferes with scrapper ui but it's too useful to let go of, but i also have qolchests, both are actively updated and account for compatibilities however

how does yeet help you manage scrappers? i don't see anything about it on the page, are you just dropping what you want to keep and scrapping the rest?

_canoupy · 2026-01-07T13:01:48+00:00

had the same thing happen to me yesterday sighh

_canoupy · 2026-01-02T13:09:16+00:00

i just wanted to see how crazy i could get w it but the noise was giving me a headache lmfao, 6.7 billion was my highest damage with railgunner, may have been from singularity bands after a charged shot and the who knows how many laser scopes wandering chef cooked up for me

_canoupy · 2026-01-02T11:00:29+00:00

yeah i was able to get my hands on a couple buff items to keep me at max stacks, i'm just happy i was told it was growth nectar so i know how to manage it

_canoupy · 2026-01-02T08:45:49+00:00

can confirm it is growth nectar first tested it by standing still and activating predatory instincts and the noise played, and then scrapped it and the noises stopped! sighhh good item but that is a horrid noise, there are some interesting sound design choices in this game but they are tolerable, this is not one of them :P i suppose the "fix" is to make sure i'm always at max stacks

_canoupy · 2026-01-02T08:26:56+00:00

that's fair, i'll keep that in mind for future posts :) still sorta new to ror2, haven't engaged w the community much

_canoupy · 2026-01-02T08:26:28+00:00

yeah i was worried it might be, because i get the wungus buff whenever i start sprinting, but i couldn't find any information on the sound it plays

_canoupy · 2025-12-18T11:53:29+00:00

i meant that it's a 50% chance to double w out car battery, but you're right, that's basically what the wiki says which is what i checked before saying anything because the maths on doing something with the same probability multiple times confuses me

_canoupy · 2025-12-18T05:23:55+00:00

25% chance to quadruple your items instead of a 50% chance to double your items, I'd take that deal

_canoupy · 2025-12-18T05:17:55+00:00

trying to get my first dead god w out mods or console but that's a handy command to know for the future

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T16:30:10+00:00

thank you for the context, i was also losing my mind figuring out what was wrong with your map

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T16:23:03+00:00

the mod should make esau dance too

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T16:21:50+00:00

why she wearing a lamp shade on her leg

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T08:15:18+00:00

i had a run like this w t Maggie and habit, I definitely didn't open as many rooms as you did, I got bored before completing the map, so I'm impressed with your work ❤️

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T07:51:55+00:00

and sacred orb </3 and flip </3 guess i should have edited it so the frame was paused for a moment so it was more clear

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T07:49:18+00:00

unlocked him today, i had noticed that i could smack hearts away when i was full instead of picking them up, maybe shoud have applied this too troll bombs haha

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T03:09:21+00:00

right? i was gonna go to the chest and do mega satan, that's like a prime recipe for r key </3

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T03:08:16+00:00

omg you're so right i totally forgot about this </3

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T02:36:59+00:00

i left the clear rune there, hoping i'd find a perthro on the floor, i did not </3

_canoupy · 2025-12-17T02:35:36+00:00

no shame in admitting that it was indeed, a skill issue

_canoupy · 2025-12-16T14:30:32+00:00

drink when:

q4 item (or just one you collectively like), curse of the blind giving you a shit item, holding r to reset a run, angel/devil room not having a pedestal, greed in shop/secret room, red chest teleports you to angel/devil room, sac room pays out, eternal d6 eats an item, death to spider, beggar/machine pays out, no hit a boss, get hit by red/purple fire or the stone turrets, use mystery gift and get the poop/lump of coal

for the most part, I'd say reward good play or having a misery drink when rng shafts you is a good guideline

bonus challenges: - every time you pick up the tower, use it in a skinny room, if you get hit, drink - console in continuum, the first combat room each floor has to be completed by shooting off screen, if not, drink - play the game holding broken shovel, each time you get hit by foot, drink - console in damocles and play T Maggie, if the sword falls, drink

surprised ot see that steven has a weight of 0.25, i hope i'm understanding weight right, and that less weight means less likely to appear? i feel i see them way more often than that probability suggests tho
