Snuffhead's Bane, A-Rank, +500C

[Fernanda]

Well that took long enough.

Hardest challenge in the game by far right now since it removes soul shop, artifacts and doing A-Rank only with non-upgraded Tainted Cards is pretty rough. Required a lot of gear and a lot of gear swapping - a lot. Not sure if it's possible without antigear.

Went with Corrupted Avatar for the lack of +%Area limit. Tanking the first bosses wasn't realistic, so especially for Necro I figured my best bet at avoiding the barrages was to stay as far as possible.

I'm not sure why you don't use my name like everyone else but other than that I don't know you so idk why you think I don't like you.

In any case, to answer: neither of those are enough to scale up to Snuffhead's A-Rank.

Final Power is not enough to handle Void Primordial and Vampire Queen. You need an actual multiplier over base power. And purification is not good enough when it comes down to a mode where you only have 1 base purification because there are only tainted cards and no soul shop upgrades.

These are two of the helm/rings that I used:

Fernanda, I've seen another post on here about the anti-gear. Is that talked about more on the discord?

I'm stumped... but I'm also alright with being stumped. Not needing a straight solution to that.

The base power multiplier makes sense for the task. Cheers (again) to the effort.

It's talked more on the discord, yeah.

Is there anything you'd like to know? I assume you know the basics - farming Shopkeeper's Vacation for Anti-gear. https://youtu.be/3Sep7ByWyIM

You get on average one anti-gear per run (make sure to disable all your soul shop gear quality bonuses).

Otherwise is there something you'd like to know about how to use it, the current strategies, etc?

[S'bass thulu]

I'm good. Thanks for the reinforcement info. Great video too.

So ANTI-44 is waaaaay above ZZZ?

I'm at ZZZ for a few of the anti...

And yeah... looking at that EQ multiplier on snuffhead's bane along with being able to do equipment on that one... I get why it's a point of focus.

Oh, the quality multiplier is not the reason to do it - Snuffhead's Bane is for way after you've farmed better gear than it can drop.

Anti-44 is way above ZZZ, yes. After ZZZ comes Tier 14 (or Anti-Tier 14 comes after Anti-ZZZ). Anti-44 is the cap - above it the upgrade costs Infinity Soulcoins, which breaks your counter even if you do have Infinity Soulcoins (it sets it to NaN).

This is starting to sound like some Dragonball-series where they just add random numbers and/or letters behind the name.

It's over nine thousand.

How'd you get all those soulcoins for 44?

[S'bass thulu]

Fernanda is one of the OG R:G players. She's put in the work (Fernanda's Scaling Hell challenge... all that).

[Chalenor]

Was hoping to see a wicked farming technique. I was just equipping all soulcoin gear at the end of max corruption loop runs of high-level rooted, but it's literally not even in the ballpark of eventually going that high on anti-tier. I'm deep enough to be getting ZZ tier drops, though.

[S'bass thulu]

Sometimes it's about the journey not the destination. I got my dwindling fire multiplier up above 2k a while back... along with other challenges being at decent levels. I've got enough to get into Anti-14... but I don't really see the benefit of leveling that deep right now just because there's the ability to do it. Blew my mind to realize the gear quality there though being Anti-44

I still think DF is the easiest challenge run (with quick game) for building up soul coin bank... but they all depend on play styles.
