how to: 7k+ fph (very simple guide i swear)

[shnick]

i lurk here a lot and sometimes see people wanting to know what's the possible fastest build so i wrote this. This is not so much a thread but more of a quick guide i threw together:

Requirements before we get into scripts and gearing:

• Time Sword (the mythic you unlock at 900k)
  
• Janitor
  
• Low Power mode OFF(low power caps fps at 30) and vsync OFF(vsync off allows the game to run at 240fps; vsync on caps the game's fps at your monitor's refresh rate)
  
• All oddities bought excluding Big Head and Tavern Theme. Ore Blocker disabled (i.e. natural ore will spawn)

Quick and dirty guide to unlock J:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sodadungeon/comments/pk312t/spoiler_how_to_unlock_new_secret_character_in_111/

Team:
OWNHHJ, Cliff Pet
Key settings: Warps on (uncheck everything else)

(All gear listed below is Gold plated)
O - Time Sword, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, 2x Prisms
W - Stein, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, Claw, Bracelet
N - Widowmaker, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, Bracelet
Huntress 1 - Rod, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, Claw, Bracelet
Huntress 2 - Rod, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, 2x Bracelet
J - Midas, Radio Shield, Radio Suit, 2x Bracelet

Scripts:

Owner:
Enemy Isn't Ore: Default Attack

Wiz:
Self HP < X%: Defend
Ally HP < X%: Defend
Ally Any: Foretell
Enemy Team Alive > 1: Claw
Enemy Isn't Ore: Default Attack

Nurse:
Self HP < X%: Strongest Group Heal
Ally HP < X%: Strongest Group Heal
Enemy Team Alive > 1: Sweeping Smash
Enemy Isn't Ore: Default Attack

Huntress:
Enemy Team Alive > 1: Claw
Enemy Isn't Ore: Default Attack

J:
Enemy Any: Defend

(For healing scripts, the percentages are really up to you. I like recommending 50% for heals and lowering it to 35-40% eventually)

Some FAQ:
Q: Why wouldn't you have healing at 100%?
A: Because it's slow. The whole point of going fast is to reduce the number of animations your team uses to get through each floor. Healing all the time when you're not at any risk of death will set your fph back significantly.

Q: Why is Huntress used?
A: H has passive that reduces skills with cooldown by 1. Foretell has a 5 turn cooldown, with 2 Huntresses it becomes 3 turns.

Q: Why does Huntress 1 have claw?
A: It's for clearing enemy mobs during a heal cycle, when Nurse needs to stop to heal.

Q: What does J do?
A: Removes enemy Js from the game. It's a bigger fph increase than you'd think, and you can avoid some throne room combo attacks like ambush burn -> janitor laser or double status. Also, you don't need the doodle charm once you have him on the team.

Q: Why is ore blocker off?
A: This affects Owner in particular. 2 mob rooms in the first area effectively become 1 mob rooms.

EDIT: If you're grinding in PL, go here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/946050/discussions/0/3191363817367212345/ and scroll down until you see my post to get an idea of a solid and high fph team. Even if you're in castle, you might want to switch your platings to lab to earn BC, but Primal just scales better in terms of gold.

I like this FPH build of yours except I made a simple change...

I gave Wizard a Gold Plated Wireless Fidelity, because I dislike Soda Stein plus Wireless Fidelity adds to Item Find. And I give the two Huntresses a Gold Plated Shiverbaron's Staff, again for the IF. Finally I slot in either Eye Gems or Treasure Hunter Gems so I can get 249 IF, I want to stick with 240 IF but I can't quite get the combination right for now. Every other free Gem Slot I slot in a Pearl Gem.

alright, so keep in mind 7k FPH is only possible in Castle and not PL (because PL has less keys, more ambushes). Next, if you want mythics having an IF at 200 or more is enough. It reduces the chances of other item rarities dropping once you hit that 200 threshold. Just in case you thought that threshold was 240.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

On the "Item Find for Mythics" thread I posted a reply where I did read from somewhere a long time ago that an IF of 240 was good for something. At the time I thought it was for IF but I'm now unsure if it was indeed for IF or if it was for Ore Find. But for some reason 240+ seems to be working for me as I've already gotten a few of 'em already. The only ones I don't have yet are most of the Mythic Accessories, three of the Mythic Armors, the Gravedigger Shovel and the Crystal God Guard.

The Mythic Armors I already have are the Evercrag Armor and the Garb of the Greaselord. As for the Mythic Accessories I already found they're the Cavendy Coin, Mask of Garrik, Rings of Demora and the Belt of Berus.

It is also note worthy that someone on the same thread, Item Find for Mythics, also said they've gone over 400 IF and has yet to find a single Mythic drop.

I'm curious what a good fph is without the sword of space and time. I'm currently getting around 2.3k fph with my setup, but I'm not past dungeon level 30,000 yet.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Without Sword of Space and Time, and the game settings schnick suggested to turn off, the fastest I used to get was around 3k+ at below floor one million in Castle.

[Handoiron]

Around 4k FPH is what I remember seeing with a warps setup but no sword of space and time.

Around 2.3k FPH is what I remember seeing with a non-warp build maximized for kill speed, again with all upgrades except the 1q oddity.

After getting the 1q oddity, around 3.6k FPH for non-warp and 7k FPH for warp with sword of space and time,

Remember, if you're still unlocking the janitor or still need to find your enigmatic shard to make your sword of space and time, warps are BAD. It seemed waaay too common running warp build on my 2nd account that it would hit a warp in the 90s range skipping through the 100 / 1000 / 10000 boss level.

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

The game finally dropped one of those Crystal God Guard shields for me yay!

Now I only need the Gravedigger shovel and Six Mythic Accessories ^_^

Here's the Party Gear shnick suggests using:

Do note that in his original post he did not mention what Gems to slot in every available slot for everyone, hence I opted for Pearl Gems for added ummpf...

My 249 Item Find variation...

I really wanted to get my IF down to 200 as that's the ideal value, but the lowest I can get it without going below 200 is 211 by swapping Eye Gems for Treasure Hunter Gems.

[Harlana]

thanks a lot^^ that will help me

yeah that's pretty close to what i said but you should always be using Phantasmal Claw over Knifey glove (i can't remember the name) since magic claw is faster than the physical claw. FYI phantasmal and widowmaker have the same speed, but knifey is slower than both of them.

Duly noted and rectified :)

[Cahos Rahne Veloza]

Okay I just thought of one replacement Accessory for Wizard, once you get it, replace his Bracelet for the Orb of Ornos so that he is 100% immune to status effects.

And, when it drops for you, use the Gravedigger's Shovel in place of Soda Stein, if you're like me and you don't like using it, or with one of your Huntresses' Radioactive Rods. The reason being Gravedigger's Shovel increasing enemy stats, and with stronger enemies comes higher Gold and Essence value drops.

I agree and disagree slightly, i would fully go with BC earning items so you basically double each enemy you kill.

So currently i have +26 BC earned per boss, so if i run 100,000 floors i get 260,000 BC meaning 100,000 floors is worth 360,000 of gold.

this is true. But I wrote this post before the PL update. That means no lab gear.
