Let's talk about "Skull o'Maniac"

[Crétin Singe]

Wtf is this ?

They add the curse thing in the power ups so we can make the game harder, why not.

But why the f*** would I waste one of my passives upgrades slots for this ?

We already have the pentagram as the garbage weapon to dodge when we level up, and now this ?

I'm a bit pissed, I wish I could turn it off so it doesn't pop up during the game.

This """upgrade""" should at least have a cool feature to power up our character and not just only increase the difficulty, I hope they will change it

The game is actually too easy for many players who started playing it at release. This allows additional challenge, helps pushing higher numbers. Personally, I don't mind it.

I can see how it can be annoying though if you have a favorite build and run out of re-rolls.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

You may be complaining now, but there are a few players who actually want the game to even be more difficult as it already is. I am NOT one of them though as I find the game hectic at times as it already is.

[Raelic]

It actually does make you stronger. I finish most builds before 15 minutes now. I easily have close to level 200 now on hyper mode and over 80,000 kills.

It's for experienced players that know how to use it. Faster enemies means they get to your damage sooner too. And more enemies means more kills/experience.

[Trix are for Scoot]

I like it.
It increases the quantity of enemies as well. AKA more experience points.

Then they just could let you add more curse during the Stage selection or add a Nightmare Mode

I shouldn't build up my character in-game to add him an handicap, it's absolutely the wrong way to add challenge

I'm not mad at all against the curse feature

I just think we shouldn't have something messing with our power up slots

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Can you guys confirm this though...

I saw Dex's video on Youtube where he demonstrated this new mechanic even before it dropped as he's on the Beta Branch.

He said Garlic is actually Bad for a Cursed run. Is it though?

I disagree. I like Lama passive, powerup passive, and the item stacks.

That would be a good way to update the game. Have power ups and curses categories for map modifiers and such.

No. Garlic is still good. Dex plays poorly. He never groups them up and runs around the edge. It's just not good for his usual playstyle. He also seems to not want to take any damage. Which is too passive for garlic. At max powerups, it's very difficult to die sub 15 minutes.

Dex does a number of things poorly IMO. Not that I dislike him. He's got good banter and this game is good for his sub numbers. But he's not always right. There are many ways to play the game.

Garlic is great for with curse. You'll run into the waves that you can't kill just ramming them instantly much sooner, but it's not a big deal. Just keep leveling it and get spinach.

Curse increases enemy health, so Garlic itself would be. Soul Eater, if max farmed? Should still be OK.

Besides, dev already said they're working on adjusting Curse and will do so often over time,

So I've been using my new cherry bombing bff and that, combined with the birds combining, leaves me with 2 passives open. So yeah naturally I fill that this AWESOME new item that potentially increases xp gains aka faster leveling so I can upgrade even faster and mutate my weapons even faster. OMFG this is amazing! Holy water, scythes, the holy sword and the birds alone clear the ENTIRE map, EASY! So with just those you can fill with whatever you want for added damage. New item isn't a waste at all. Just gives me more gold by the 30 min marker when I grab that magnet at 29:57.

@Raelic and LanceHeart:

Thanks for the replies :)

I actually prefer LetsTryGG's Vampire Survivors playthroughs than Dex's because he (LetsTryGG) even made Exdash look enjoyable to play as. The only reason I even watch Dex's videos was of his Clerici Method of obtaining Red Death.

I like Dex's banter. He's not a bad streamer. I just don't really care for his playstyle is all.

You can purchase levels of curse in the shop too.
