[M|AoB|99%|18|YASD] Knives, knives, kni -

- and then, our hero's voice was suddenly silenced when a former sergeant, taking advantage of certain features of his environment, blasted a napalm barrel sending our hero soaring towards a river of acid, in which he promptly sank to the bottom.

There isn't really anything special about the mortem. I think I just want to talk about Malicious Blades. It really isn't an offensive trait, is it? I found a load of mods this game and was able to make what I consider to be the ultimate pair of blades: two piercing combat knives (4d6) (B). (You have to add the P mod before the A or else they'll be 4d5.) Even with the doubled brute damage bonus (from having two attacks every turn) my DPS was still the same as when I just used the Longinus spear, and lower than when I used the ripper. The only reason to take MMB right now is for the passive resistances. I think I'd be a lot more excited about Malicious Blades if the trait description read like this:

"Knives, knives, knives! You can now attack with a blade in your off hand at the same time as any other melee attack! You also parry 75% melee damage and deflect 50% bullet and shrapnel damage!"

Powerful? Yes, but other melee masters will still do more raw damage in most cases thanks to their easy access to berserk. Also, note that I'm willing to give up fire resistance for this.

I'll just stick this mortem in this thread because it's basically the same game and ridiculous death all over again. I think the problem is that I'm just not giving acid its proper respect. (Note to self: acid barrels don't do fire damage.) This is an even more tragic loss as I found Butcher's Cleaver honestly just two steps from where I spawned on level 2. That was fun while it lasted.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't the game that should have won, as nothing really went as well as it did in the two YASD's above. I had to give up on 100% kills when I was forced to chicken out of City of Skulls. I had neither the huge health supply of my first game or the speed advantage of my second (with Butcher's Cleaver). I was hoping to regain that speed advantage by making a ripper but I didn't get the whizkid level or the necessary mods in time (no P mods spawned in the entire game). Even after running to the corner of the level so I couldn't be surrounded, and running in place so a few more lost soul attacks would miss, I just didn't have the supplies to endure. That also led me to abandon my ambition to clear the Mortuary as without any skulls my odds weren't great. I skipped the spider's lair this time as there weren't any lucky invulnerability globes near the entrance, and I finally had to chicken out of the lava pits when I ran out of health there too.

This is my first full win but I'm not counting it. The last level of hell had two nukes and an invulnerability sphere next to the downstairs. Firing off both nukes before the powerup ran out was a no-brainer.

One thing that I've gotten out of these Angel of Berserk games, though, is I'm getting better at taking advantage of everything at my disposal. I never thought I'd throw as many combat knives as I have now, and the arena master's staff is actually pretty handy if you remember to use it.
