Cat Evolution - Bug or Feature?

[Frimelda]

So I noticed with the Cat evolution that the eyes run over exp crystals but the EXP is just gone: I do not get EXP and the eyes do not convert them to money so is this a bug or a feature I am missing?

Still the best way of making gold is lvl 200 Toasty, position the candles slightly off screen so they respawn and get destroyed by cats, AFK for a day or two, then collect 100's of thousands gold.

Huh? Unless I'm playing at Curse +5 mobs don't come out fast enough to get anywhere near lvl 200, in which case I sure as hell don't think I can AFK for the entire run, and the longest any zone runs is 30 minutes + Death phase. Are we playing the same game?

Toastie is a character who becomes invincible at level 200. If you can manage to get to 200 with him, even the reapers can't kill you. The person you quoted is saying once you become invincible you can position a candle respawn in just the right way to gain gold while AFK. From that point you can just leave the game running and come back to huge amounts of gold. The run only ends when you die, so if the reapers can't kill you, you can leave the game running as long as you want.

Ideally this update essentially adds a build for people that need money for upgrades. Pointless for people that already maxed out.

The gold rush card and evolved cat with pentagram and get the tome then just go afk, ez money.

We already had that though, it was called Il Molise 21 minute mark

Which is not viable for most people. Not everyone that plays this is into the challenge mode aspect it provides.

Has anyone realized the Stone Mask is actually a JoJo reference?

Cats are still THE WORST weapon ingame. Evolved or not

blatantly wrong

Blatantly correct if playing on bone zone.

Well yes, but actually no. It's a reference to the stone mask from castlevania, which is also a reference to the stone mask from JoJo.

I assume the theory behind the evolution is:

-Builds that prefer low levels, such as perhaps a future death build, or even later released weapons

-Builds that work off of gold. So far we have the gold fever arcana, which isn't too bad when you have cat eye (it can also work off of pentagram/moon, which is when I found it really showing results)

The downside is it's a low-damage weapon, and of course there's no weapon that blatantly uses gold as the cats damage doesn't improve at all with it.

In short it's a support weapon that only has early emerges of potential.

And that said the cats themselves are still good and used for some death builds, so it's not a particularly hard weapon to get anyway.

The challenge map that doesn't drop food? No way!

Evolved cats turn treasure chests, exp crystals, and elites into single gold coins. It's the single worst evolve in the game. It's actually a run ender...

One thing I did find is that

1. The gold is nothing to scoff at, but you need to combine it with well, the other gold stuff

2. Cat Gold + Gold Fever is a pretty strong combo

3. Add in damage and the healing arcana, and you get massive gold fevers, temporary invulnerability during gold fever, and anytime you actually do level, gold bags are worth 150 healing.

Just finished a library run with 20k gold.

I just did the evolution for the first time and I still got the xp crystals. I didn't see any gold increase at all.

Chests dropped normally etc.

Edit: Never mind, after several minutes I heard this magical sound and for about 30 seconds I got coins instead of crystals. Or maybe that was Gold Fever?

False alarm, it was Gold Fever. I managed to finish the run with the cat evolution fine.

[AnonTwo]

Just finished a bone zone run using the gold arcana and the cat eye on leda

29:30

but the fun part was 40k gold. Can definitely see this turning into a sort of build if we get even one more item that synergies well with gold.

You're basically invulnerable anytime gold fever occurs (except in the last 2 minutes), but while bags are mostly consistent on bone zone, they can still be inconsistent enough to screw you over.

Best gold frenzy lasted like 5m for 10k gold. The downside is honestly that unless you can use someone other than Leda (haven't tried) i'm not sure you could survive long enough against stalker to skip pentagram, which really doesn't help gold rush at all.

I wouldn't mind it picking up my red crystals if I actually got something comparable, but since you only get coins (not talking about the item that can drop for the evolved) when YOU pick stuff up (which is only what 3g when it triggers?), if the eyes gave me coin when that vacuum the crystals up that would be my ideal.

I just hate babysitting the cats to get them anywhere near good compared to other weapons, it like playing a Dreamstealing Vampire in Skyrim vs making a Good whacking sword.

One does not babysit cats... One develops herding skills. ;) lol
