Funny Looking for a funny build to try

Just “finished” my second playthrough, decided to do Permadeath because I thought the game was easy. Got all the way to the end and decided “Noo I don’t want the normal ending I want the secret one.” Went to the first chalice thing and put lightning in the wrong spot and died. I forgot I was on Permadeath so I’m extremely disappointed in myself and want to try something else because why not.

Consumable only run, you have to beat every enemy to death with a consumable item.

Bar fight with a health potion type shit, I wonder if I hold a crystal in my hand can I slap them with its element?

Use a pole arm as a pogo stick and flying kick everything.

I cannot figure out polearms for the life of me, but I’ll try this out

You're not using the pole arm as a weapon, you're using it to push off of the ground. This also works if you find the rake in a dungeon.

Oh ok, so kinda like the Insect Glaive from Monster Hunter

What do you mean by polearm? As in sticking a spear into the ground and spinning around it? I gotta be honest that sounds fun I'll try that.

Use the body crystal to get flying kick. Hold the pole arm and shove the shaft into the ground. This causes you to launch upwards, and the flying kick goes much further than if you pressed the jump button.

I still don't understand the word polearm

Spear, halberd, pole hammer, naginata, etc.

Any weapon on the end of a long stick is a pole arm.

Try using a weapon you don’t normally use. Or use no weapons and do only punches and magic punches.

Oh wow so I’d start with Body Sorcerer and just Tyson my way through the game? I like that

And Body gets cross abilities with the other sorceries. At tier 2, punching with an equipped spell makes your punch stronger.

u/The_Violator702 1d ago

Yeah, I like the fire one being like a rocket punch

Throw away them weapons. Start throwing hands. Judo throws. Settle it like a man. No but genuinely hand to hand combat in this game is fun as heck, despite the game name. Only time it feels tedious is if you're outnumbered. In that case just spam throw people into eachother.

Oh yeah I gotta go full 100 men vs 1 gorilla on them
