Corrupted rogue in current patch

[CourierSix]

i dont think its possible. As shopkeeper i couldnt get scythes before 40 hours mark and just got obliterated. 5 times in a row. and as a rogue avatar i just got obliterated at 60 hours mark WITH scythes. I would gladly hear from someone who unlocked this achevement in current patch
and yes, i have fully unlocked soulshop (B included)
p.s. i was using survivors mode E, F and D

No idea I cant do it either.

Someone posted a screenshot on the discord that shows they dd it in glass canon with weapons cleaver, crossbow, katana and magic wand. They also said they used was duellist and had trolls blood.

Just did it.
C survivors, shopkeeper, the key elements are sage's leaf+evasion. Scythe can wait, you'll get plenty of levelups later.

How to play: max out banish, then use at the first opportunity on every pure power/piercing/defense card, all unneeded weapons, all harmful cards. Upgrade weapons ASAP, enemies scale fast. You'll probably need a good L7 by the ~7th minute, the first evolution by 15th, evolved L7 by the 25th or something like that. I personally started with katana (artificer variant, tried sylph, suffered badly), it felt better here than my usually favorite shuriken route. Evasion: the faster, the better, becomes absolutely necessary in the beginning of the 2nd in-game hour (no amount of scythe projectiles seem to stop enemies on time, even with double limit breaks on everything). Scythe can wait another hour or two, possibly more.

Expect many restarts, C-survivors mode is brutal in scaling, and you gain the needed cards in time very, very rarely.

Yeah, im struggling too. Theres so many new cards that are useless for this. Its hard to get the one you wants with limted rerolls, banish and gold

I am thinking about taking the thorns talent for an other layer of invincibility.

That's pretty useless... on my experience.
Just got a run with 93% dmg reduction (thorns 8 lvl) and about 8500% defence + hp + regen. Got shredded with 2-3 shots after some time in E Survivors

The point of Thorns Talent is not Thorns or Thorns Damage Mitigation, but the Talent. It gives you a period of invincibility and together with Sage's Leaf it allows you to minimize time in Anachronistic for permanent invincibility.

A bit of an old video but here's an example:

I just did it using only Cleaver as a weapons, made a guide.

i would suggest to skip all corruption cards and focus on knockback. thats how i did it. but not in current patch.

[Mgta6]

I just done couple of C-Infinity with Rogue. My strat didnt work with corrupted avatar

[Rohjake]

Dog Rog + Cleaver (+max knockback and attack speed) gets you far

[Sanmei]

I tried the cleaver and Dog Rog route and it seemed to be doing great, but on day 4, the enemies stopped being knocked back as much and I eventually got swarmed to death. Not sure what I could have possibly done differently since I had maxed out attack speed, level 8 cleaver and as many relevant upgrades as possible.

[Eva Notty]

Remember that the more corruption you get the more knockback resistant monster are. Try avoiding taking corruption cards so enemies are weak.

[Devnos]

Unlocked this achievement using the Rog-dog + 2 weapons Cleaver and (swordflash?) and focusing on atack speed and knockback and using Slow-mo skill sporadically.
Followe this guide it helped me:

Did you take Portal shard artefact or Fractal card as these can result in you knocking mobs towards you instead of away. Or worse yet Attraction knockback pulls instead.

From what I seen from my attempts what killing us is the poison from the poison elites since this does % health damage for x seconds.
The way to avoid this is to have enough knock-back and/or killing power to stop them reaching us. The problem is some can still sneak pass the knockback/kill wall. I believe because of lag.
So we need something to protect us in this case this is where the invincibility shields come in. The main one is Sage Leaf though you need to use Anachronistic and/or Thorns talent to cover the cooldown time when it turns red on your bar.

Not 100% sure if this one will work but I think there's a 3rd way to survive get Trolls Blood + Commoner's Guidebook and stack life regen mainly from Healthy for 1,000 of life regen per second and out heal everything.

I had tried all of the above with no success. I figured out what was going wrong - I just wasn't killing enough monsters by that point, and so many monsters were on-screen at once that the cleaver couldn't push them away because there was nowhere for them to go, so they just swarmed me. I could hold out with anachronistic time, but there was literally nowhere for monsters to go except on top of my face, so y'know. Eventually face got eaten.

I managed to pull off a success this time by investing in Flight And Flight and just running constantly. With 1000% attack speed, I had a bubble of protection that worked most of the time. Sometimes the champions managed to get out from under the swarm and catch up, but dashing/anachronistic time/spamming the weapon special knocked them off long enough to get them buried again.

I suspect computer quality is going to make a big difference in what works to get this achievement, and I very much do not like that feeling.
