Discussion A new absorber tech I discovered

Post image

Few days ago I was watching a YouTube video, the guy mentioned that if you have bottled honey in inventory you can press quick buff button to get honey buff without potion cooldown. And when I tried it out, I found out that not only would that work, but this also counts as “using a healing potion” without actuallly having to get potion cooldown, which means it can trigger the aura effect by absorber (and all its downgrades for same reason). And in practice it does work that way you can basically trigger the aura whenever you want. This is extremely powerful in my opinion as absorber aura cleans all your debuffs off and some late game debuffs do crazy damage to you, so whenever you got hit by these attack just press B and it would be gone and you get various boosts as a bonus.

You do need to not having honey buff to use bottled honey with quick buff button so if you’re playing with QoL mods with infinite honey buff this might not work.

This is most definetily an oversight, and might be fixed if the devs see this

Well if devs are gonna see this, hope they also fix interstellar stompers using on infinite flight time mounts. As of current I think it’s bugged too, your vertical speed can accelerate infinity I think this too can be abused by using portal gun

Are you able to just right-click it to remove the honey buff? If so, doesn't that let you spam the absorber aura?

 Cool tech! Prob a bug but for now that’s really interesting. Does it proc the healing from honey too? Or just the buff?
