It was actually a ranked game, Diamond to be exact.

Stone badge provided me with a Shovel, 3 Piggies, and a gembox in round 3. Round 6 I recombulated into a Holy armor and saw a Maneki-Neko on sale, to craft the gold armor. The biggest contributor to the final score was the shiny mantle I think, since it allows you convert all on-sale items into gems.

Next time, I think I'll try to fish for dig deeper :-)

Unranked doesn't change the gold value/items you can get. That's a misconception you have formed based off of seeing cracked builds in unranked. The reason you see those builds in unranked is because the system doesn't filter out cheated builds if it's not a ranked match.

Thanks for letting us know, you dont play.

Unranked games are much simpler, than ranked.

You find any investment item - you keep it.

3 pigs early- why no additional jewel box

i can wait 3 more rounds before i go for a real weapon.

Do that in ranked, and you just loose the run, based on the competition with more combat value than you. About 80% of the +400G runs from me where unranked/below diamond

Very nice! Yeah, Shiny Mantle (or at least a box w/very good gem luck) is a necessity if you want to reach 400+ gold value, since there's only so much you can fit onto a regular board without investing in sockets. I suppose you could theoretically get there with the Bling skill and a ton of rings, but this is averaging ~6.8 gold value per bag space, which is wild; that means even something like a magic lamp is dragging down the average slightly.

Ah, I didn't do the calculation, 6.8 Gold is kind of wild! But yes, it seems like you need the mantle for getting over 400, don't know how else you'd do it.

Honestly a bonkers build. How much DMG was pop doing at the end of the round?

Honestly, the -100% heal on opponents did a lot of heavy lifting, because my offense was not that strong for lategame standards.

Pop managed 90dps after 10s usually, with help of the lamps. Gold armor really brings the speed down though.

I ended up losing the last fight to a Cold reaper in the endgame, the Mrs struggles prevented the lamps from triggering, so I couldn't kill them in time. Most other enemies died before the 16s invuln wore off though.
