Spark is stupidly OP. Free win every run.
I'm forcing myself to use different characters because this combo makes the game boring. The first 4-5 minutes contain the only possibility of danger and then once you get a couple good upgrades you can just stand still and hold left-click for the next 15 minutes until the run ends, occasionally moving out to gather orbs. Use batgun and prioritize energized, splinter, fussilade, electro mastery, and energetic friends. I think that's literally all you need to finish a run but there are so many upgrades with good synergy you get beyond that it becomes complete overkill. I hope she gets changed so I have some incentive to explore other characters and guns.

I mean, you could just not play the freebie character and enjoy others. I personally enjoy playing Diamond with shotgun, it's not as strong on a budget, but has infinite scaling which is the draw for me, also the weapon just feels good.
Would you always force playing white in chess given the option even if you are misserable throughout the game?

It's a single player game dude, nothing is forcing you to pick any particular character. Just pick something else and quit being a tard. Your brain has been damaged by meta gaming multiplayer.

What you mean to say is that my standards are too high from playing games that use good game design to encourage using everything at your disposal to win. I'm just going to go back to other roguelikes that do this well but I figured I'd drop some feedback because the game seems promising.

Every character are "stupidly op" if you know the game. Simply try other character to find out

I really don't know what to tell you other than you're playing on easy mode, it's not a very difficult game regardless, and typically the incentive to play other characters in a game like this is the simple existence of the other characters

>uses Batgun and claims Spark is OP
>nothing about the true power level of Spark unlocked with Flame Cannon

Every character has absolutely busted builds. Even Shana.

I hear you, but you can't act like D10 on Spark is any more of a challenge.
I just tried the bat gun on her for the first time on D12 and got to the point that i stopped firing with 1 minute left and the enemies kept dying all on their own for the full minute.
If you can literally walk away from your PC and still win, maybe a combo is a little too strong.

but you said you were at 1 minute left; that's not really much of a benchmark on whether a character is OP or not.

No, I said what I meant. It's a single player game and your brain has been damaged to seek out only what you consider to be meta. Unlike you I have completed every character and gun at darkness 15 and I know that each one has extremely strong builds.

Abby is significantly more OP if you build for it. Actually, most of them are pretty OP if you build for it.
Yeah uh ... not really? What's actually OP is Ice. Ice + Fire, splash in some chaining and fire rate and you can easily go infinite and *any* character can do this. Don't even need lightning.
