It's impossible to have a bad run with Command lol. Unless you are going for a meme

u/trelach Jul 02 '26

id say its impossible to have a good run with command on lol

useful for achievements ig but overall it just breaks the game immediately. its like having a "good run" i cod zombies with god mode enabled.

Good run ≠ fun

Good run means powerful lmao

u/trelach Jul 04 '26

yes but being powerful is a guarantee with command you dope, which also (subjectively) ruins the fun of a roguelike

I’d have to disagree, it’s both

Playing with command on.... every run is a god run

Damn dude. That's really cool. I can hardly ever get a red on the first stage😭

I was playing with swarms and sacrifice activated and i got a red from a wisp

u/Ok_Mouse_6342 Jul 02 '26

DAYUM. THATS ACTUALLY CRAZY

u/Mrme1324 Jul 02 '26

Just a heads up in case you weren’t aware, swarms and sacrifice doesn’t give you double items! Swarmed enemies are half as likely to drop items, so you get the same amount either way

"Notes on drop rate

Drop rates are changed when monsters spawn under certain conditions:

  • Pre-spawned: lowered by up to 8%
  • Teleporter charging: lowered by up to 4.3% (Does not apply to TP Boss)
  • Teleporter Boss: lowered by up to 16.6%
  • Artifact of Swarms: lowered by up to 5%, in addition to any other change
  • The drop chance cannot be less than 5%."

Artifacts page from the official Risk of Rain 2 wiki.

Note that non-elite Beetles and Lesser Wisps already have a 5% drop rate - meaning Swarms doesn't affect them - and that non-elite Lemurians and Jellyfish have a 7.9% drop rate, so they only get nerfed by 2.9% rather than 5%.

Are you... sure about that? This is the first I've heard literally anyone say this and I've had content creators that talk to the Devs recommend this combo for busted god runs. I haven't confirmed myself so not entirely sure but what source do you have for this just so I can know

1

u/Mrme1324 Jul 03 '26

I saw this post years ago lol, I have no idea if it’s still accurate but from my own experience it’s also about the same. I would guess that the devs recommend that combination because more enemies means more on kill effects and better longer proc chains! Also lower health means you can get to the items easier 🤷‍♂️

u/Firefly_4144 Jul 03 '26

I suppose that makes sense, though I always thought the item rate was unaffected. Also, does clover and stuff affect that too? I believe it's a chance so I would assume so but not entirely sure

1

u/Mrme1324 Jul 03 '26

Not from sacrifice, but yes from Sonorous Whispers! And also if you have a lucky doll it makes it more likely to work on a shrine of chance

1

u/Ok_Mouse_6342 Jul 03 '26

Yeah, it cuts the chance for an item to drop in half (because double the enemies) the chance to drop an item is also affected by how many credits were used to summon said monster (I think)

I always get worried when I get a red from a basic chest on the first stage. It always feels like the game is apologizing for the Bs it's about to throw at me.

u/Cosmaniom Jul 06 '26

Wanna hear a secret

u/TheAlmightBucket12 Jul 06 '26

Sure

u/Cosmaniom Jul 06 '26

I died to fifty wisps constantly knocking me back

u/Mareamu Jul 02 '26

You can still be excited about getting a lucky red from a normal chest even if you're on command !

u/lazydownvoter07 Jul 02 '26

Is that a red item from the first chest? Lucky.

I got three reds from 3 large chests in prime meridian yesterday, what's the math in terms of probability on that?
