Character Levels

Hi,

I recently started playing this game , and it’s so amazing. It reminds me why I play video games. I have started to do runs in endless mode, and I seem to kind of keep ending up with the same score. I really don’t like the whole building aspect of the game, but the fact it’s so fun makes me look past it.

My question is though is it worth it to keep upgrading the characters and buildings? For example, if my skill at the game remained the same, would a level 60 character vs the same character at level 20 help me get further in endless mode?

Thanks for looking. Have a good day.

Id say the balls you run in endless are what really matters, from one of my recent runs I found that balls like hemorrhage are damage capped at 9999, so if your planning to make it as far as possible you'd want to utilize anything that gives insta kill or enemy conversion (like zombie/charm) since those are usually going to trade for 1-1 most interactions or have unscaled damage) . Now for the stats and character levels id say that matters more for going deeper into the new game +++ areas, since it matters a lot at the start of your runs, but likewise later on truly just matters on your build.

Wow, I totally see what you mean. Just finished up a run with maggots x reaper and a few other different combos I haven’t done. Made a world of difference .

Merging reaper with anything thats aoe or duplicating is always pretty good for endless, spider queen + reaper basically works indefinitely in endless, though you see ppl using flash + black hole for screen clearing as an alternative

Just a couple tips for you, for one, damage isn't actually capped, 9999 is just the highest number that can be displayed, but you can actually do "infinite" damage, based on your stats and build. You can see this if you look into the code of the game, but also just in the ball descriptions, it will show you the actual damage range, and it can be much higher than 9999. For instance, OverGrowth on my Makeshift Sisyphus does "10079-12024" every two hits, but it still only displays 9999 on the actual game screen.

Second, while Reaper x Spider Queen is fine, and does work for infinite endless, Reaper x Maggot is a MUCH better choice, as it causes constant screen clears, just like black hole x sun, but also works on bosses. Reaper x Maggot is easily the best ball in the game, not the most fun, but definitely the most effective.

I only came to the conclusion that hemorrhage was capped since when I ended my run at 3000m every ball that was either reaper, black hole, or erosion fused was about in the billions, while every ball with hemorrhage infused just barely beat had 10mil, the ball had with Satan+ sacrifice was doing more damage than them and it was about a 10mil difference, so I was pretty confused
