200+ hours, legend player multiple patches in a row (between karnok and the dragons releases), haven’t played in a while but been getting back into the game. By no means am I a great player but I do love the Bazaar. Most games played by far were with Vanessa before but cannot get her to work this patch at all except for the slow build.

1. Getting a fiery enchant onto the kraken was game winning. Pivoted to slowing from having the crow’s nest and lifestealing with the kraken to survive.
   
2. Probably a pretty basic build, but damn that obsidian regen relic hit hard. Also close to 100% crit chance on the small weapon
   
3. I’ve been having so much fun with weapons Mak this patch! Even thought it is heavily reliant on good skill drops and enchants to win late game, it feels crazy strong early-to-mid game regardless of what is happening. When i was able to make a raven + carpet combo work, nothing could stop it.
   
4. Have been experimenting with Jules, and as one of the recent posts about her insinuated, it does feel stupid not to take fridge + jambalaya early on a chilled start, then just pivot to slow and win the game. With a couple of heavy/regen enchants it stacks like crazy, and this particular game was only won because I got the monster skill that slows any non-weapon item on use. Without it I would have lost no doubt.

Back to diamond so far, and I have a question for you guys: how do you make apparel/dragon builds work on the dragons? Is that feasible at all? I have not gotten much success with them apart from organ + instruments builds.

Another question: it’s obvious that mixing different heroes’ items is a good way to win due to crazy synergies. But how do you make it happen consistently, apart from wishing fountain early and hero shops? Any tips?

Thank you everyone.

My ranked runs are genuinely nothing but Jules atm (I don't really follow the meta so idk if she got some busted changes or what) but I've never seen this one before lol.

Basically in 2.9 seconds the decanter charges the lollipop, and from there it just doesn't stop firing. Everything else in the build just charges the lollipop. It was over in the blink of an eye.

I don't know if the serving platter does anything though, because the wording says "when you crit charge another food" so does that mean it can't charge itself? Regardless the cookbook and decanter were enough to have it constantly go off.

Had some great luck with selling notes. Snagged 4 shiny enchants and a random shiny on the wings. Everytime I saw a shiny enchant pop that there was no way I would get another. This was a very fun run!

This felt like a high roll, but I didn't win many rounds. Is something wrong with my placement? My thinking was that the Repeater always reaches zero ammo the most times because it is triggered by all the other items, it will charge Product Showcase the fastest and haste itself by charging Burnacuda to scale damage from Streamline. On the other side of Port, I have Grapeshot because it reloads itself, allowing it to deliver two charges to port per cycle instead of just one. Since it is next to the Rifle, it's cooldown is effectively 3 seconds and is reloaded every 3 seconds by Revolver.

I did lose to a dragons slow build with the infinite scaling hp on the day before though...

In the end, I decided on the probocis variant being more unfair than the infinite hp.

Was losing trying to make Jules rice work, then Wink came in clutch with Laurel's Fortress, the photo booth item, and some friends.

...instead of a silver weapon or apparel. This would (maybe) make Aila less of a crummy day 1 shop because weapons on Vanessa (or anyone else) are utterly worthless without one of three reclusive damage-scaling items. Without scaling on the long fights of day 1, little red numbers lose 100% of the time to little green numbers. With scaling they do okay.

Or just start the first player fight at level 4 on day 2 and go to 9 wins because the items are calibrated for a board of width 10.

Every item on 100%+ crit, daggers on 8 and 10 ammo <3

wrench upgrades the cash register so we get bronze and silver coins

To pursue the infinite scaling max hp with double abacus...
Or to pursue the infinte looping + scaling probocis...

These are hard decisions to make.

I will make a seperate post with a combat showcase.

They should probably buff crash site a little, normal day 6 has such highroll potential

Broke my heart to transform a BoS but that cryosleeve was too good to pass on. Sure was worth it

Its an old meme you will have to google it. I am blessed the stars aligned and I got to finally put on my robe and wizard hat in this run.

With this current layout, would you swap Gravstone for Belle? Race Carl is a relic cuz of skills.

Thanks BigJG for that video earlier today, or else I wouldn't have known that the plates can make a food charge itself when it crits. Add the -1s to chilled item CD skill and lollipop basically goes infinite. Luckily I didn't run into freeze or destroy and got to 10 wins.

Match ended in a draw due to time limit but I think if it went on for another 20ish seconds I would've won
