How to beat Detachment Shard 7 at Knowledge 400-ish ?

[spoilerspree]

Just got back to the game to see whats new
my next shard is detachment

mobs start at 160b hp
no soul to make early money
instant kill passive from dex tree didnt work

is this shard even possible to clear ?

[tyrell]

if early money is needed, the usurpation potion could be helpful (if once is not enough then 2-3 times to get the ritual). Otherwise I agree, with the introduction of the Detachment Shard I myself stopped playing. Without souls there is not much left to the game progression except of the grinding for the upgrades (for items and from shards shop).

If only crits worked with lv 0 weapon, then you could get your initial rubies from either cunning or huntsman. But yeah, as of now, only usurpation potion can help.

Any news here...nearly 7k hours in play knowledge 450 and literally cannot kill the first monster on screen...why has this been introduced. Maybe keep the souls. I am shocked at how all the fun has disappeared from the game.

[frerouche]

I just found out how without using an usurpation potion.
Just gotta restart the shard until a firefly spawns at the start.

Edit: though it depends on if the map even has a ruby critter able to spawn at the start or not.

Ach TBH...it's painful...i want to have fun, no be stuck on the same level for weeks. I even bought shards...will I ever learn...Devs make the game fun again. please!

Realistically, this game isn't ready for people to be plowing past 200. There is literally no point apart from the possibility that the devs have hidden the purpose of Antenna/Red Phantoms somewhere.

The way the end game for currently works is that when you hit 200, you White Tunnel back to the first galaxy and your runs become quicker and quicker as you stack upgrades from the shard shop, stones, skulls, etc.

To go any further than 200 is just to torture yourself for no reason. Just get more powerful while they work on more endgame features.

I have yet to use the white tunnel and currently am at 377. Don't really have any trouble with any shard. Some annoyances like detachment and smoke but no real difficulty on my end. Still only need 1 ritual for every shard except for detachment which needs 2.

Both Zeustiak and frerouche make good, pragmatic points. Past 200 there can be difficulties and the devs are sure to add content to help. But a balanced character that is run in an open minded way, can get through all of the shards with a ritual or two.

If a shard is way too hard for some reason, it would be best to ask.... What weakness does my character have? How can I fix this? ....The answer may be simpler than you think.
