Newbie question

Gunrunner sounds extremely powerful in combination with Int2 and letting your opponents coming into your sight one at a time.
Gotta try that sometimes.

Indeed, though I can imagine how nerve-wracking it can also become when the enemy moves unpredictably and forces you to shoot at barrels and destroy items in the process...
Shooting without the DoomGuy's consent can always become a problem imo. Needs too careful handling. At least such a game will be a unique experience that's for sure. :P

[ZicherCZ]

I can say that I would like an option to turn the trait on/off at will. There are times when you want to only move without shooting, and they are quite plentiful.

[Evilpotatoe]

The trait requires juggler (imo, the contrary would have been quite absurd), so I guess switching to a rapid fire or melee weapon does the trick. Still, shooting before asking can lead to many collateral damages, and I don't think I'll pick this outside AoRA

Alright, new question.  What does the Arena Master's staff do?  Raise dead?  I nuked the guy with a rocket launcher and all so...

Question.  Will the Arena Master's staff kill Lost Souls in one hit?

[bfg9001]

It's possible. The wiki says that Lost Souls have 10 HP and the stuff does 10d1 damage so...

You'd have to test it out, though.

Don't forget that gunrunner requires you to run. As to be in running mode. And with the fact that running is limited it's not that powerful.
AM's staff iirc deals fire damage, and fire souls have fire resistance, so iirc it doesn't kill them. Otherwise it would be pretty popular start in CoS, and i don't remember anyone mentioning such.

[Ashannar]

I remember one person mentioning that it was a pretty decent strategy. The drawback is you have to burn 2 or 3 medkits to be able to use the staff enough to kill them.

[Lord Typh]

I see.

I just needed a way to get past the first boss section since those freaking lost souls keep swarming me.

[AlterAsc]

You mean in Anomaly?
You can destroy first door by shooting in it's direction with non-shotgun something and use alternate fire of rocket launcher (rocket jump) when walls suddenly disappear. It will propell you out of first section entirely.

If you don't have a phase device try rocket jumping to the left or right.
It literally saves your life there, must have saved me 2-3 times at least.
Also don't forget to wear the red armor, to lessen the dmg you get from the jump.

[Lord Typh]

Yeah.  Thing is?  I wanna KILL the opponents too.  More kills equal more leveling up and more leveling up means more skills and more skills means it's easier to go through.  If possible, I'd love to just jump back to the entrance and shotgun the lost souls to death.

It's obvious you'd kill everything after the rocket jump...
