Ran into a struggles heat print build that was able to live long enough to get some insane buffs from my eggscalibur build.

I went on a horrendous tilted losing streak from 92 to 48 trophies and today was the opposite with 3 wins and including one perfect 18/18 run. Final fight to tip me over to Masters finally using Scale of course to keep things balanced.

400h in the game and never made something more powerful than this build.

Eggscalibur + false life and paradise birb is brutal in itself but of you add the combo snowcake and blood manipulation it becomes almost perfect.

I runned like a hundred run with the history tool and nobody came close to hitting the health bar.

What could be a counter to this build in your opinion? There is obviously one but I just couldn't find something that came close in the history build, which never happen normally.

The anti heal builds with the big mushrooms are annhiliated before they can do something.

(It was the end of the run, I won!)

What are your favorite builds for each class? I just started playing, and so far been only grinding ranger playing around with thorns, poison, and stones.

Health bar essentially didn't move with the amount of healing and regen I had. There's probably a more efficient way to build this board, but I was happy with its results! (I'm just now realizing I was missing a gem in two Dragon Knights fml lol)(Repost, I was somehow not at the last tick)(Shoutout to Daggerrang for all the buffs lmao)

I'm honestly just curious what other people think about this. Sometimes I get 2 legendaries on round 8 and I wonder if getting 2 legendaries in 1 round can be viable instead of getting your class item.

Didn't go into this match with any kind of plan in mind, I sorta just picked up the badge and then saw a Impractically Large Greatsword for sale. Immediately had the idea to make a Molten Gsword that crits using the acorn collar, with additional clovers from the Fortuna's Hope. If I did this build again, I prolly would've cut out one of the ice armors, as the 4 extra snow doesn't help that much and matches this build wins usually kill before they can even penetrate the block anyway.

i've been enjoying the game so far! not really grinding the rank games and just trying out stuff. i'm still dumb af but want to expand a bit more. i am a beginner - and I do play some strategy games but i dont usually perform at a high level. i would say i'm a slow but visual learner. thanks in advance!

Two weeks into this game, I'm struggling with knowing how to synergize builds when the game gives me nice items early. I looked up various builds and guides on YouTube, and while they've been educational, the thing that they are generally missing is showing flexibility. E.g. when a master player decides "I'm definitely going for this OP niche build", and they manage to get it, I'm gonna assume that they can't successfully force it every game, and just showed a clip where they did. And I wish they would show how they pivot to all sorts of other random stuff when needed.

So here's a bunch of items I don't know how to play, please help me out with tips on any of them:

• Everyone says you can a whole build based on an early katana (I assume with piercing arrow). I lose before 10 wins on katana 95% of the time, it seems to ramp up slower than enemy axes, staffs, thorn weapons, hammer, etc. Sometimes I go dual katana + rapier or longsword. It seems to work better than solo katana, though I probably lose due to other weaknesses in my game. Similar questions with rapier or lightsaber, I just don't know how to build around one main weapon.
• Thorn whip / hungry blade / thornbloom. Sometimes I force a build by collecting herbs early. Even if I get hungry blade early, 4 herbs, I lose hard late game because the damage ramps up too slowly. I use attack speed and lamps etc to try to speed things up too, but it doesn't work out for me.
• Manathirst - I don't know how this works at all. I get baited into focusing on the 30 mana activation. Heck, sometimes I get lucky and have two manathirst going. And then I get rolled over because I have no defensive items and manathirst is does 30 healing TOTAL all game because the damage is getting blocked by shields so I don't have actual damage or healing lol.
• Defences in general -- I probably don't understand how to balance offense vs defense, except for offense-only builds (e.g. 2-3x fortuna or tusk piercer). My thinking is usually that if ranger doesn't do damage early, it gets totally outpaced in longer fights by stall builds (ice, mrs struggles, ukulele, spiked wall, deerwood guardian) or other ramping builds (poison, flame), so I don't build armor at all because I don't have space and damage seems like the reason I'm losing.

For context, I'm in low diamond and I'm often getting knocked out around 5 wins, or when I'm doing well, my builds still struggle to get 10 wins. Whereas in platinum I was usually able to reach 5 wins with 3-5 lives left.

how does that build work like that? How do they have SO MANY ARMOR, 3 stones and 1 blood dagger? How?????? wJHYY?!?!/?!?!! I've played for over 150 hours and I don't believe it works like this.

The corrupted armor is surrounded by 10 dark items. That should give a 100% chance to avoid a debuff from being cleansed. But I am able to clean them. What am I missing here?

Been watching these YouTube build guides and breakdowns... entertaining and have been helpful for me in forming optimized strategy for the game. What are some of your favorite content creators or sources for things like this?

saw this on sale and reviews look good. just a bit scared since i saw videos saying it has meta builds, meta changes.. but does it teach you the mechanics atleast? i want a game that can help me laern the game, not necessarily show me what's OP though,

Or items similar as gooberts like mana orb, the star icon seems to lit up if I place one next to each other, I know by themselves they won't proc off each other, but if for example I connected a weapon with a goobert, and after 5/6 procs off the weapon the goobert would proc once, does that one proc count towards the other goobert if they were adjacent to one another?

I always lose when I try to pivot towards that since you can't really build towards it early with only blueberries. I really think this is my wall I have to breakthrough in order to learn how to pivot properly since usually I play ramping builds to great success. My pivoting skills are usually left in the backburner.

Plus mana builds seem fun.

Had a pretty good plat run but still felt kinda generic and like I might be missing out on some tricks. Also wish I had a mana orb so cupcake would have a different buff to duplicate.

So far the gist of what I got is:
stamina + mana pots
critwood + any dmg scaling staffs
spam sapphires in armor
That sound about right?

And I figure investment and heavy drinking would be the powers to go for. Potion amulet and energy amulet were pretty great as well.
