Poll of the Day > At least we can all agree, fists are the best weapons

(+) Yeah! (+)

specifically aspect of Demeter

thats right, extreme measures, forced overtime, hellmode hades and it only took 2 attempts

a girl is better than ALL of you at this game

Beowulf was pretty effective in 3, but in the first game, I preferred Alastor to Ifrit

For me, Sword is tied with Gun for first. Shield is tied with fist for second. And Spear is tied with bow for third. Or, Sword is tied with Gun for first and second. Shield is tied with fist for third and fourth. And Spear is tied with bow for fifth and sixth... Whatever you want to call the places...

Make it past heat level 15 and we can talk. Till then you're not even on my radar. And even then you'll barely be there.

I'll tell you one thing you can know for sure: your weapon ranking is doodoo

Maybe for you. But its 100% correct for me. Our playstyles are obviously different, which is why our weapons ranking are different. To me, your rankings would be doodoo But since Im not you and youre not me, our personal rankings should matter to the other person

good and bad are different playstyles, and yours is bad, so I guess fair enough? i cant argue with that.

Wrong again. But since most of your posts are wrong, its not a surprise. My play style is good enough to beat the game multiple times on multiple heat levels. So, as far as I know, my play style is good while your is, as you say, doodoo

just cleared extreme measures hades with double forced overtime on hellmode.

congrats on your godmode heat level 4 clear though.

I mean, if we're actually looking for anything resembling objective rankings, you have to look at a lot more than personal experience:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fYeJpxFXZBO2UycHOz4qt90T3ZurFZKCtg07UQNZVyc/edit#gid=1880723554

The current WR for heat (61, set just a week ago, actually) uses Zeus Shield, the top 10 runs are split between that, Rama Bow, and Beowulf Shield, then other aspects and weapons start showing up. Fists don't show up until #23, but all weapons are represented somewhere in the 55+ range, which pretty clearly just indicates that they're all good enough to push high heat and you can do just fine by using whatever's most enjoyable/comfortable for your personal preference.

That said, good job, that's a nice run.

Well, Insee youre still trolling. I have never used Godmode. I looked it up to see what you were talking about. But no. I havent used it. I mean, if you need it, good for you. But I havent. I didnt even know what it was until I looked it up. But you seem very familiar with it Im guessing thats your normal difficulty in that case. So, the congrats for godmode wins goes to you

doesnt even know that godmode and hellmode are not compatible and thinks he is actually good at this.

a lady is better than you at this game. deal with it. maybe i can give you some tips to improve your gameplay

Of course I wouldnt they arent compatible since I have never used it, as Ive said multiple times. So how would I know whether they are or not. I can only tell you what I recently read And Im still pretty decent at the game, even though I havent played it in a while. Just like any roguelike, and any game in general, it just takes practice

Again, I have no problem with people being better. But I havent seen proof of you bei fan lady, or even good at the game. I have no idea if anything you post is true or not. Youre the only one here obsess with being a gamer girl being better than men at games. But I sure there are plenty of other women and men better at gaming than you. And most probably have a better personality, as yours is pretty bad

you being willfully ignorant doesn't change facts. think what you want, but you came in here posting, and youre factually wrong whether or not you acknowledge it or hide your head in the sand and say "i dont know anything about that so must not be true hurrrrr!"

also, dont pretend like if a guy made this same topic you'd have had the same reaction. youre mad because a girl is better than you and its obvious.

Nothing I posted was factually wrong though. In case you forgot, I posted:

I bolded the important words. Then you came in hot insulting me because I didnt agree with you. The only person who could be factually wrong is you. For trying to say what the best weapon is. And apparently, according to actual facts, its not even correct. Fist didnt come in until #23. And I didnt get to check since Im at work. But Im not even sure if it was the same aspect as the one youre talking about So, before you start calling other people wrong (when I wasnt wrong in the slightest), maybe you should learn how to get your own facts right since you couldnt even do that in your own topic.

And Im not sexist like you. So I would have the same reaction if a guy made it I posted something similar is Hellys topic. Youre literally the only person who keeps bringing being a female into these topics And then bragging like it something special that youre female. Plenty of other female gamers out there. And probably many better than you. Even if not better at this specific game. So, keep your trolling sexist comments to yourself

and since i cant see it, it doesnt exist, right? or do you only apply that policy to yourself and other men?

There you go. Lying and putting words in my mouth. I never said if I cant see it, its doesnt exist. I said I had no proof of anything you said. Add that you have no proof, and clearly have no issue lying (as seen in this very post), I wont take your words at face value. And you dont have to to take mine at face value, either. I have proof of what Im saying.

And if you dont believe the picture, I left a link that shows my comment. Even if youre blocked you should still be able to see my comment using the link. And worse case scenario, you could log out for 10 seconds to check the link I sent

And I dont know what your problem is, but you should be so sexist You seem to have a problem with that

I dont know if youre having trouble reading, but my comment is both topics were pretty similar. As in, I had the same listing in both. So, maybe go back and try reading again. Though, based on what Ive seen, you probably still wont understand

And I understand you fragile female ego is having a hard time understand not all men are sexist. And some, like myself, have female gamer friends who are actually good at many games. Maybe one day youll grow up. But based on your post, probably not anytime soon. Hence why you dont seem to understand much. But, we all knew that you wouldnt understand much, anyway And unlike you, I dont based my manliness on how well I play games. Especially since games arent only for men. Maybe if you werent so sexist, youd understand. But I also understand that you will always be sexist based on how you post. You should go to those other boards with people like you. We try to have nice conversations here, and youre just mucking it up with you trolling, because thats all your post consist of

Things heating up in the "baby's first roguelite" fandom

---

For my play style they really are great though. When I initially unlocked them they took me further than Id ever got. I beat the game finally a couple hours ago and already did a repeat with the fists and without dying once (only heat 1) but still.

demeter aspect fists
zeus attack
poseidon special
zeus poseidon duo
posedion legendary
zues double strike
get the rush kick daedalus

hit a boss with one cutter and you just skipped the rest of that phase

Conceptually, I really want to like Demeter fists, but I find the cutter comes out so slowly that it disrupts the rhythm of the weapon too much to feel good. That, and most enemies fall too quickly to the regular attacks for the special to be overly worthwhile most of the time. It's kind of disappointing.

---

most enemies are chumps.

i gear every one of my runs for dealing with bosses since hades, asterius, and theseus are pretty much the only ones who ever get a piece of me anymore anyways.
