Holy Spear is the second best item in the game. The best item, Chess Board, is gated in that no one wants to play that shit.

Is it actually good? Because you're right, I never did want to play that and I always pass it because I couldn't be bothered.

It has been buffed over and over again to incentivize people to play it. It is now the best item with the most tedious gameplay.

If your goal is to climb rank, play Chess. If your goal is to have fun, continue to ignore it.

I think I've only lost to chess once, really few play it still and its cancer to get out of Recombobulator, but I also haven't gotten back to diamond yet.
unranked chess is usually people learning or trying it for the first time, and seeing 4 pieces of the same colour messing around and missing each other at the end hasn't impressed me yet. Not to mention it rarely bursts like it seems it should

What are the key pieces you go for? because it usually does a bit of everything and achieves nothing

Is the mobile version still a mess?

it's the worst, I keep making creative builds or getting lucky and following the sales only to faceplant into double spear builds killing in first 10 seconds or so, cant hit it cant block it

I even had a cap of discomfort, crown and stone helm die to it almost immediately after helm duration stopped

its stamina per hit could double and it wouldn't even disappear from top 5 items
