General help/tips?

[Dea]

Can anyone help me kinda understand how scaling works? the game is fine up until I get to the zones like the Void Plane and such, or if I end up with high Corruption. I can end up surviving just fine but basically can't do any damage to monsters after a certain point it feels like. Is it a lack of Piercing or something else I'm missing or maybe haven't unlocked?

I'd also be curious to hear, do you guys typically play as the Summoner, Gunslinger, or just regular Rog? I like playing Summoner, and I play the regular Rog dude but I gotta say I end up having to avoid certain weapons or a certain number of weapons on Rog due to the insane lag I get in the later zones lmao.

Also any general tips for this game would be welcome.

Power is the initial way to scale damage, but scaling it falls off later on, so you need some additional sources.

Some of which:
- various corrosion cards - for defense piercing and shredding - more of you damage does through, and you reduce enemy defense with each hit
- Blood Transmutation - converts your HP into more damage
- Metal Transmutation - converts part of your defense into damage
- Zealot - converts negative defense into damage. Won't appear unless you have negative defense.

Have you checked the pinned post? It has Gunslinger-specific tips, but also general tips that could be useful.
