Poppea is something else

Agreed, she is a super Tank, I just had a few reapers go 'poof' quite quickly :)

...Ohhhhh!
Interesting. That's a good question you've gone and raised here. Can you become invincible with Poppea...?
I don't know how viable it is to kill Reapers this way because she Craves the EXP so much. Their health pools would be astronomical. Still, now I wonder...
Might be a fun experiment!

[Ame-kun]

reporting back after experiment: At the very least, you'll need more than 141 levels to become invincible via Poppea + Laurel. Actually, I'm not entirely sure laurel even gets extended by duration, but...

What you want is the Laurel and Clock lance and Tome of Knowledge, and what ever the duration accessory is called. Thats basically all you need to survive extremely long after 30 minutes if you can aim your clock lance shots right. Getting as much levels as you can as well to stack duration with the duration accessory will have those reapers frozen for a LONG time. Especially long enough for your laurel to recharge lol

she's gonna get nerfed before I even get a chance to unlock her Q_Q

edit: I'm really struggling with that level, any tips?

Is this viable to kill reaper for the character unlock or is it still better to stay low level in library like the YT video?

Nah. I only did it for the sake of seeing how long I could live, so that other method is probably still best lol.

This is usually my go to setup. Its really strong. Though you should replace skull o matic with candelabrador in this case. I only took skull just for the hell of it that run lol

oh, no, I did survive until like... 37 minutes. Like, I definitely was Surviving. But considering just how high the HP of the REapers are, it's not enough to just be Mostly Invincible, you'd have to be Completely Unkillable so you could leave the game on for hours and hours to deal the DPS needed to kill a reaper with however many hundreds of levels worth of EXP.

Since you need to kill all the things guarding the coffin before it will open, I got pentagram early in a run then rushed straight to it. After getting there, I just killed enemies for experience to level up pentagram so it would delete the enemies for me.

The most important thing is to build tall not wide and grab at least one powerful defensive/ramp up weapon in the early game. I recommend grabbing Garlic and/or Bible. By building tall I mean that it is better to stick to just a few weapons and build them up fast rather than spreading yourself thin with like half a dozen level 1 and 2 weapons.

Don't worry about your late game set up so much as getting a strong defensive immediately. Vandalier isn't going to do you any good if trying to collect and level up the birds gets you killed before you can even combine them. Aim to evolve one good defensive weapon ASAP. The Bible is a top candidate for your first evolve.

You want to get Garlic or Bible up to a level where they will keep the mobs from hitting you then you can just plow through them farming exp. Really go after those gems. The empty tome is an important upgrade in the Dairy because you want new waves of projectiles pushing out against the enemies as often as possible.

Other defensive weapons people often overlook but which are good on this map include bloody tear, magic wand and cherry bomb. These three need to be upgraded quite a bit before they will keep the monsters off you. The Bloody Tear is particularly effective with +projectile, cooldown and +AOE.

Yes, I just did a build with Skull O Matic to unlock the Song achievement and I hated it, but it did force me to play a little more carefully :)

How do you unlock her ?

You need access to the Dairy which is level 3. Once there follow the onscreen arrow until you get the map. Once you have the map it will show you the location of all items on the level you are on permanently. Her coffin is the question mark on that map/arrow. Once you get to where the map is pointing you need to kill all the guardians that are encircling her, then stand on the coffin. Mission accomplished. She is an absolute beast.

Agree with above. She is a wrecking ball like we haven't seen since Miley Cyrus. (And whoever is following me marking everything I post as spam lately, this isn't Reddit.)
