[Busterbunny69: LOL, auto bomber OP!]

[Ishatmyself -donated 10 USD- : Do you think you can get in the top 10 boss rush with this build?]
''Nah, it has good AoE damage, but it lacks in the single-target department. Besides, most of the damage is thermal; it would be hell to fight against dragons and that elf god… It's possible since the explosions also do blunt and blast damage, but the worst downside to this build is that there's basically no defense or evasion, so even if I wanted to give it a try, it would be really hard since it would mean I needed to do a no-hit run.''

''Can't, I have school tomorrow.''
[ Ishatmyself: '' Can't I've school tomorrow'' implying that you could do if you hadn't LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[FNXXX8341: @Ishatmyself Right?!?!?! This mf got two good runs and really thinks he's him]
[Lustruriosbald: Can't you use flammable steps on this build?]
[OriginalChadArthur: @Lustruriosbald, you can't; the boots are sprouting the mushrooms]
[Lustruriosbald: @OriginalChadArthur What's the name of the item?]
[OriginalChadArthur: @Lustruriosbald golden shoes]
[…]
[Lustruriosbald: WTF this is disgusting … the item looks like athlete's foot infection! How can this abomination be a heroic item?! And the stats are...well…]
[Ishatmyself: @ Lustruriosbald gnomes...]
[Lustruriosbald: Frick, you're right; I don't know why this surprises me]
[ Lustruriosbald -donated 7 USD-: HOW DOES THIS BUILD WORK? 111111]
'' Sooooo you just run around using stomp on the mushrooms on the ground that will explode and trigger a second explosion on the mushrooms on the character. As for the items well… the core of this build is the golden shoes that will sprout the mushrooms when the character walks, the Belt of Welhem will then make it scatter through the screen, the Helmet of Chemical Delusions will allow to give them elemental properties, the necklaces of love and passion make all effects of hero and above quality items equipped also apply to the character, and the glove of Vulcanos will convert 1/5 of all attacks into fire damage. Now the armor and the two rings are the changeable parts, I suppose …''
[Lustruriosbald: Wow, that's messt up!!! it's probably really good on the real end game!]
[ Ishatmyself: real end game by that you mean the calculator?]
[ Lustruriosbald: @Ishatmyself Hell no! I mean the temple]
[ Ishatmyself: @Lustruriosbald you're weird bro …]
''You're probably the only one in this stream who enjoys playing city builder in this game.''
[ Lustruriosbald: in this stream maybe but I know I'm not alone in fact, I'm pretty sure most players play this game for the story and the city builder, not combat…]
[ Ishatmyself: @Lustruriosbald and yet you're here every stream lol]
[ Lustruriosbald: I don't dislike combat in fact, power has a great use in the political side of things]
[Hiddin: @Lustruriosbald Why would I bother with politics if I can just kill everything and everyone on the screen?
[ Lustruriosbald: @Hiddin That's the fun part… killing everyone is also politics you dumass]
[ Hiddin: @Lustruriosbald in my books it's only politics when there's a shitload of dialog before deleting everything on screen, and I don't really appreciate this amount of reading in my dopamine-inducing game. The only thing I care about is what color my monitor will glow next time… and numbers popping can't forget those…

[OriginalChadArthur -donated 2 USD- : It is but I didn't find any better options, since most of the good stuff is god quality or demigod, and the heroic items will mess up the core of the build because of the necklaces]
'' heeeee, let's see … Have you tried Heart of the Beast?''
[ OriginalChadArthur: I didn't ]
[ I_8Yura$$: Why don't you use demigod and god items to finish the build?]
'' Because this character is already max level with good base stats so if I use demigod or god items on him, it will suffer apotheosis and brick the character.''
[ I_8Yura$$: Why would it brick it?]
[Mutthafhukka: @ I_8Yura$$ he doesn't like the campaign ]
''It's not that I don't like the campaign, but it's really time-consuming to go through it, especially if I need to do it every time I'm trying a new build.''
[Mutthafhukka: I share the same opinion, it's even worse if you are not max level by the end of the main campaign… The grind is brutal ]
[I_8Yura$$: LOL what!? It's the best part of the game!]
[GreatYM: I'm new to Tardia what's the problem with using god items? WTF is apotheosis? ]
''God and demigod items are character bonded the moment you equip them; you cannot unequip them, and if you try to do it, the item will break and be forever lost, the character will also die, sooo… you will end up losing about 30% exp on normal and in hardcore is permanent death.''
''As for apotheosis, it is an effect that the character gets when you first equip a god or demigod item; you can think of it as the character ascending to divinity. It has a lot of mechanics, but the important one is that all items you have equipped during this process will forever become character bonded and will go up one quality, so if you have a normal item equipped, it will become rare; if rare, epic; if epic, legendary; if legendary, heroic; if heroic, demigod; and if demigod, god.''
[GreatYM: So you become a god but can't swap your equipment? LOL]
''Yeep ~ , but the thing is... god and demigod items are really strong in terms of stats and passives. The big problem is that the current known builds for them are all hyper-specific builds''
[GreatYM: What's a hyper specific build?]
[Mutthafhukka: It's a build that does only one thing really well, and it's mediocre at best in the other things for ex : the terror archer build is good at killing dragons and heavy armor enemies but it's really bad against demons, gnomes, fairies …]
''Yeah, that's a good example. Terror Archer has really good single-target physical damage and has one of the highest defense penetrations in the game, but the skills have long cooldowns, and the basic attack speed is slow, so it's very bad against enemies that do the swarm tactic.''
[ GreatYM: So what build would you recommend?]
''Just pick something online that you find fun and roll with it, there are tons of fun builds, and the possibilities are basically endless... besides, the game is not as difficult as it was at launch three years ago with the amount of information we have now.''

''Thank you for the raid, Rok, but I think I'm also ending my live here. I need to sleep...''
[BigSmalRok: broo… We just arrived! Do at least a dungeon run, and… WTF is this build! ]
[Fatgock: my glorious king if I may ask, is this the new meta?]
''Nah, just having fun testing stuff.''
[FNXXX8341 -donated 3 USD- :Tsk,Tsk,Tsk ... Do it you coward]
''I won't''
[Fatgock: @FNXXX8341 do it what?]
[FNXXX8341: @Fatgock hitless boss run with this wanky build]
[Fatgock -donated 2 USD- : would you do it for 100 bucks??]
''100!?* Sigh. If the heart of the beast works and I swap the rings first, I can try.
[GreatYM: What does the heart of the beast do?]
[ OriginalChadArthur: @GreatYM It doubles the attack speed, reduces the skill cooldown by 60%, and adds +50 hp regen p/s, +100 mp regen p/s, +37 p. def and +10 move speed. Here's the link to the wiki [link] ]
[GreatYM: @OriginalChadArthur THX!]
[BigSmalRok: what's the play here? Why heart of the beast?]
''This build is squishy, so the move speed will help me survive, and the stomp cooldown is 1 sec, so... I'm hoping that we get a negative cooldown to use stomp nonstop.
[BigSmalRok: Just like the knight of the light build?]
''Exactly like knight of the light build.''
[I_8Yura$$: What about the rings?]
''I'm thinking of ring of minor circulation for mp regen and ring of aloof illusions to gain the after-image skill and more evasion status.''
