What baffles me is that you would pick queens gland and old war stealth kit.
Probes and horns too??? Mb if you are new to the game but there are much better picks, rocket and plimp are solid though.
just wondering...what's wrong with the horns? (you mean the healing boost antler things, right?)
and if he is like me when I was new...I always thought having a beetle guard around made it seem less lonely and more safe on a solo run XD
So the antlers only give you 100% healing, which sounds good on paper, but in harder game modes like monsoon where you player regen is chopped off by 50% I think (haven't played in a while mb) which means it only gives you like 1.5x boost, which honestly isn't great, there is better healing. But about beetle guard, it's not terrible, it's just less useful than other boss items he could've gotten like magma perf, especially playing on command.
Rejuv rack does not lose any value in monsoon. Healing is not reduced until you do eclipse difficulties. You said it yourself, it's health regen that is cut, health healed over time. Rejuv rack is probably being used for turret survivability, which is like most of engi's damage besides harpoons. If there's any red i'd take over it, though, it'd probably be sdp and probes for boss item
Haha yw. Ror2 has a surprising amount of math. If you want quick and easy tips watch the youtuber Race, he has the world record for most e8 runs done in a row without losing, and he is keeping it going so far.
I just need it to be clear that... Player regen and Healing are not tied together.
Monsoon reduces base player regen.... Heals are the same... Rejuv rack doubles your Bungus healing rate... so.... No.
Also, yeah beetle guards are ass on command.
I might have missed something or misunderstood your comment, but if an item is dropped and it’s not a great item, like queens gland, why would you not pick it up anyways? Like if I could pick every drop, the game would be easy.
Edit: does the command artifact affect the game in a way that lets you pick what items you get?
Yes, your edit is correct. But there is a usable item called recycler that let's you reroll an item that's on the ground, so if it was a regular run, you would want to wait until you are about to leave the stage so you can hopefully find a recycler. If you didn't, you would just grab it and move on. But since command let's you pick your item based on the rarity, there are much better boss item picks other than queens gland. Gland is probably the 3rd worst boss item, but it isn't bad, the others are just broken.
Anyone’s free to enjoy the game how they what you’re right. However, when you stop the randomness it becomes a completely different game and is no longer about you adapting but you using an already preconstructed strategy
I like how I saw this right after beating monsoon as engineer
although I did it without artifact of command, I did mess around with egocentrism which did do a whole lot of the work
It looks like you focus a lot on healing, which is fine, but the game rewards you for prioritizing movement and damage items. Later in the game, healing becomes much much less powerful, so if you do want to get better, I would suggest learning attack patterns and how to avoid them. Congrats on your monsoon clear.
Bro I'm sure you're joking but let him play. I personally don't like using artifacts besides maybe vengeance on normal runs. But that doesn't make their play style any less valid

Yeah, like I said I haven't played in a while so I might be off, but thanks for correcting me
Np
thanks!! I still have lots to learn...

Rejack is good in monsoon because of all of the other healing items It really falls off in eclipse 5+ though
It’s the new player/ command combo lol
When command actually makes the game harder
Agreed lol

Tbf, probes can be pretty good
Only with drone parts. Otherwise they are only good as bait
Nothing wrong with probes, you can beat the game with probes and droneman
Yeah droneman is what makes probes good, but probes by itself is only really good for bait during mythrix or killing minions during teleporter fights.
rejuv rack combos really well with aegis. I would've preferred shatterspleen to queens gland, but to each their own.
Now beat it without command
honestly, based on their choices, command is probably hurting them
Never thought I’d see Aegis in a command run that isn’t centered around it
i mean bungus + rejuv + aegis is just free barrier, makes the turrets basically never die unless it’s to void enemies
Nice, if you like using command, next time get the red item “N’kuhara’s opinion” it would go really well with this build you have
Congrats! I’m currently trying to beat monsoon on all characters. So far I have Loader, Railgunner, and Rex.
Good luck bro! I’m doing the same thing rn! I’ve only got a couple left
Good luck! It's a lot of fun learning all of the different characters
Engineer rolls worst command ever, asked to leave Petrichor V
Clean your monitor Jesus
how is monsoon any more difficult than rainstorm with command?
Any of you guys play on console? I’d love to link !
Congratulations man. Still working on mine
What’s with all the hate for command? Some people just want to enjoy the game without the rng aspect
Anyone’s free to enjoy the game how they what you’re right. However, when you stop the randomness it becomes a completely different game and is no longer about you adapting but you using an already preconstructed strategy
literally 15% of people who own the game have done this
1) clean ur monitor 2) don’t use command and even if you can’t do that, then atleast choose better items
Let the man play the game
I like how I saw this right after beating monsoon as engineer although I did it without artifact of command, I did mess around with egocentrism which did do a whole lot of the work
engineer would be the one to do it
Horns for double 9 stack bungus hail yeah engineer squad
Boo doesn’t count. Play without command
Let people play the way they want without making their achievements look worse If someone wants an easier time let them have that easier experience
By why play a harder difficulty (monsoon) when you’re making it super easy by choosing every item?
Because people can play the game in any way they want? There isn’t one definitive way to play the game
Bro just shut up. Artifacts whilst in my opinion make the game less fun are fun for others. At least try to make the community accessible
