[N!|YAAM|YAFW] Double Angelic
« on: April 13, 2013, 09:17 »

Ok, so not nearly 2Dev, but I'm quite happy with this run either way. Took a break in between which is why it clocked in at 5 hours. N! 100% doesn't take *that* long. :P

Phobos Lab is brutal, I honestly wasn't expecting to get past it but ballistic armor + ammo chain plasma rifle melts nightmare demons quickly enough to minimize damage.

Phobos Anomaly was a really close call too, I ran out of cells while I was trying to clear the ambush portion, leaving me with a combat shotgun and a chaingun. I had barely enough rockets to kill the corpses. Thankfully I took no additional damage from the bruiser brothers, they die pretty easily to cornershooting with a combat shotgun thanks to SoB+Rel.

I didn't need to throw knives or anything at the AoD. Though my movespeed was somewhat modest because I could never find a nano mod for anti-grav boots, I could attack and move at about 0.54/0.55 sec or so; I used a tech modded piercing combat knife and timed my attacks every time he took a "double step" to make sure he won't have time to retaliate.

That 2050 isn't there for show. (For that matter, neither is the 511k turns.) Some of it is about stacking corpses so that only one of them can revive, a lot of it is about dumping enemies into various liquids or using weapons that have a higher gibbing ability(like Plasma), but mostly it's killing things more.

N! 100% is definitely not something I want to do. My hat's off to anyone that patient. Good run. :)

Killing things into doorways and blowing up bodies with Rocket Launchers is a good strategy too.  :)  Killing things more doesn't really do it, because there's no limit to how many times an enemy will revive.  (As far as I know)

Ok, so not nearly 2Dev, but I'm quite happy with this run either way. Took a break in between which is why it clocked in at 5 hours. N! 100% doesn't take *that* long. :P

Yeah, yeah, I get it.  I'm slow.  Congratulations, Mr. Speedy!  :P  (Seriously, congrats!  This looks like it was an awesome run!)  :D

Uh-oh, i didn't mean that respawning will stop eventually because respawning rait is actually increasing. Was more of a joke how you need to persist in corpse destroying and rekilling things if they respawn.

I still played for over 4 hours! Which makes me wonder just how 2Dev can play that fast. He must have spent a large chunk of the 3 hours throwing knives at the AoD. ~3 hours for damageless, conqueror 100% is about what I'd expect to take if I had a crystal ball predicting shot outcomes and had a tracking map effect at the start of every level.

Thanks for the props, I think for N! 100% ammochain is a no-brainer, but it's probably possible with other builds. The main disadvantage with ammochain is how awful the synergy is at first, but even without agility mods, chainguns and plasma rifles are pretty deadly with THx2. This type of run is fun if you're used to doing nightmare strategies. The start is rough, but once you get MAc, your biggest obstacle is probably the anomaly, while the rest of the levels fall behind your plasma death ray.

Yeah, same for me.

Unless I'm absolutely crazy, it's nigh impossible to actually 100% N! without dealing with at least a fairly big chunk of the floor respawning. (Admittedly, it depends. Even I can keep enemies down if I get a good river to spawn. On the other hand, Military Base.)

Optimal defensive play too often requires you to put down an enemy now and let it respawn later to kill it some more convenient place to prevent a respawn. It's why I tossed the idea of 100%ing personally, but I like to play Roguelikes pretty fast.

Surely it's possible. Made it with usual cateye-whizkid-dodgemaster. Actually I dont see a point of MAc since you can always farm some poor arachno for more cells, but accuracy and tactical information helps you to kill demons where it need to be killed. So different people, different approaches (but i dont really think that someone want to made it with some crappy entrenchment).
Nice with though. It was a great luck that hell armory was spawned instead of deimos lab (seriously it need real nerfing on N!)

I know cells aren't a problem, even though in anomaly I somehow managed to get into that level without farming them up sufficiently. The main thing about MAc is being able to chainfire ambushes like in anomaly and nightmare demons in phobos lab without having to reload. In places like Limbo having maxed out chainfire is really useful in case there's 4 or more arch-viles in plain sight, it lets you clear most if not all of the arch-viles that are off-screen. This has the added bonus of not destroying items which rockets can easily do.

I very much prefer deimos lab for the bigger reward. The two shamblers aren't a problem with chainfire plasma, and you can tank a fair share of hits with the supercharge globes on the back if you can't get a good position. It'd be great if you could take cover a bit more easily though.

EDIT: I was thinking vampyre could work too. Hell's arena would be much harder because you have no traits to help your shotgun/combat shotgun if you're lucky. Anomaly with a ballistic armor + chainsaw might let you tank the whole thing, but I've never tried it. From that point onwards though, having berserk activate from arch-viles instantly is always a plus, and getting Azrael's Scythe lets you gib most enemies on the spot, which saves you the trouble of disposing corpses.
