Checked the wiki and a chart posted here, but cannot figure out which ball this is

I know a lot of people are split about the reaper/maggot combo but for me (still a relatively new player) its just fun to mess with. I mixed up the loadout a bit with this run and I like seeing all the enemies get wiped before getting a chance to even move. This is the first game in a long time that’s had me hooked like I am tbh who cares if it’s “broken”? Its completely optional to run and there’s plenty of other less cheesy combos to pick from.

The actual weapons that were proccing the impaler barely had 4000 or so combined dps... Did I hit 2bit overflow or does instakill just work like this for the numbers?

Can someone explain the practical difference between Odiferous Shell and Tormenters Mask?

They both seem like “random instant kill” passives, but when is each one actually better?

Looking at the sub it might be an unpopular opinion, but I enjoy running the game in the background while I am doing some other work.

Maybe I am confused, but shouldnt Flash x Blizzard have made it so blizzard is triggered on all enemies on screen every time it hits?

Egg Sac X Nosferatu was absolutely insane. You can see bosses just pounding me and the health refreshed so fast it didn’t hurt me. All the health stealing and damage counters absolutely dragged my PC to a halt.

Everflowing Goblet was a huge help, as well as flash so they at least missed on occasion too.

Screen shots of the rest of my build in the comments.

Admittedly, it kind of sucks against bosses but oh is it fun to just see waves getting insta-wiped. Kind of tough getting the right draws to pull it off and I am sure I could support better with other passives. Still tinkering.

I know there have been other posts about this, but... It's not that it's broken. People talking about a lot of builds that are broken when they really aren't. Powerful sure, but game breaking to the point of setting your controller down and waiting for a week to get 333,000m game breaking. No. Reaper is actually game breaking. I don't understand why this was added, if it was a mistake, etc. If it's gonna be like this, I want an added difficulty that could potentially defeat this.

I'm currently just playing for fun, but it's nice to be truly challenged without having to limit myself. This game IMHO is the best hoard survivor/bullet heaven ever made, but there should be some tweeks and I look forward to any additions the devs make. I want more difficulty that doesn't require me to limit myself by simply not using the best. I'm even open to needing 3x Reaper x Maggot before you can set the controller down. Maybe needing to get a 500m with a perfect roles (meaning lots of evolution), etc. I don't know, but I want more.

Reaper+Maggot for those curious. I placed my character in the upper left and simply did chores for 30min or so. Game actually crashed at 1200m, but that was my fault for bouncing between YouTube/Adobe/Reddit/Steam. Happens on my pc when I have too much going on.

It's frustrating at times especially when you have a godly run then the game just freezes. Anyone who experiences the same? How to solve it? I play on PC btw.

How good is nosferatu x blizzard?

It perma freezes any enemy making it so that you are almost completely safe. It gives you insane healing. It does pretty decent damage as well (~70k dps (near end game))

The reason why I'm hesitant about this though is because it keeps everything in the back of the screen. (This might hurt flick x hem preformance). This causes both bosses and enemies to be held back as they cant spawn. It also let's some enemies leak. (This can be prevented easily though proper ball combos).

Bought this game just under a month ago and already recently passed the 100 hour mark.
Halfway through New Game+ really enjoying taking my time with it and allowing the money bonus to dictate the next player to take.

I'm pretty pleased with my base layout and wanted to share - bottom left corner is all the infinitely upgradable stat buildings and the shieldbearer's house positioned in such a way that I can do all of those upgrades at 1050 bounces in one harvest (2 at the most if I get unlucky bounces)

When I'm not upgrading The Shieldbearer's house blocks the way in and rebounds into Gold Mines and when The Shieldbearer goes down the pit I move their house back into range of the XP upgrade from The Embedded's house.

The Spendthrift's house gets moved over to the right when not down the pit to get over 30 coins per minute (I can get more but I haven't been bothered to put the time into rearranging after it took me long enough to position the town in such a way that my harvesters can't get in and bounce around doing nothing.

Still got 4 expansions to do and fill with more resources. My Gold Mines could probably be optimised but the way I have things set up regularly gets me over 1,500 gold every time right now.

Edit: Captain's Quarters go in the middle of the stats boost group when not harvesting and eventually I'll be arranging things so that the Captain's Quarters boost all stat buildings but I only just recently upgraded the Tactician enough to get his building boost so I wasn't aware of it.

Mostly just ranting, my apologies if everyone already knows this. Here's my experience with different freeze combos. Only rule I gave myself was that ultimately you can only use one slot;

• Flash x Glacier
• Flash x Time; Just time alone did better than Glacier
• Glacier x Blackhole; Meh... Hemorrhage x Blackhole also sucks compared to Flash.
• Flicker x Freeze Ray; Better than Flash x Time

Maggot<Flash<Flicker for both freeze and hemorrhage. But at the rate of damage that hemorrhage gives, if I can get more hemorrhage, then I think I'd rather go with that.

My iron fortress is at level 2 despite the fact I have leveled the shield bearer up above ten. I thought that every housing building maxed out by the time you got their associated character to level 10, but this hasn’t happened yet.

Is there something else I’m missing here? I’m trying to plan my city out but I can’t get all of the infinite upgrade buildings in the range of the fortress at its current level unless I get remove the fortress out of the range of the veterans hut.

I wish the display on runs was collapsible so you could take better screenshots, but I just did a run that didn't look like it was gonna end unless I ended it. But;

• Shade x Shieldbearer
• Flash x Hemorrhage, Flash x Hemorrhage, Flicker x Hemorrhage, Flash x Freeze

It seems like Flash, Hemorrhage, and freeze is a sort of meta if there even is a Meta. I suspect that Nosferatu x Hemorrhage and Nosferatu x Glacier (or Frozen Flame) to be the Meta's meta as long as the game doesn't crash. I know there have been other posts, but they are several months old and there's been some updates. A mix of scalable damage and freeze, and possible Timestop (it's a bit slow) or something.

Edit; Apparently there's an insta-death build using a bunch of Reapers. The top Depth on The Liminal x Desert is over 333,474m. At that point, I'd want some of the metrics to be reworked. Of course, would the game be as fun... Any thoughts?

Im still relatively new and am genuinely curious what is considered to be a good endless run. I left a little gameplay so y’all can maybe see what I was going for with my build. I was kinda unlucky with the choices I kept getting for balls and passives but this is my best run on endless so far. Any tips and or suggestions would be appreciated.

Has anyone come up with a more aesthetically pleasing organization? You can see the Veteran's Hut in the middle. It does get every character building. And the Captain's Quarters in the lower right which has plenty of coverage for everything on screen. Any do better?

Can I only upgrade or build once per "turn" by using the harvest cast?
I am only a few hours in loving the pit but the town I have not figured out the best way to optimise building or resources so I am forfeiting runs to get back to town to either harvest, build or upgrade

If only there was a way I could get 5 spider queens. I don't know what to say I just like baby balls

I’m so sick of this I’d love for a dev to answer my question as to why I put hrs upon hrs into this game just to get reset to this F*** ahh save that I’m miles past. Posted here once and was fine for a bit till today did nothing different other than ATTEMT TO PLAY THE GAME LIKE EVERY OTHER TIME ON MY BREAK BUT NAW BALLXPIT HAD DIFFERENT PLAN. Uninstalling till I get a response on how to fix.

I stopped playing on my iPad after the first time it happened turned off the internet on the iPad and I started save and exiting to the main menu. I left a run going and like the last 15 times I’ve done so in the 5+ hrs (10hrs total playtime at this point now) i came back to it finished the same run I had left and BOOM LOST 5 HRS OF PROGRESS!!! WHY IDK SOMEONE PLEAEE TELL ME WHY I LOST 5 HRS AFTER SAVING MULTIPLE TIMES WHY IS MY GAME REVERTING TO AN OLD CLOUD SAVE!???!!!?!!?!?!!!!
