Thanks for the tips! To be fair at that moment survivability felt like a skill issue rather than lack of tools, so I figured if i play a little better I should be a-okay :D Also, you miiiiiight not like the next Dome Keeper episode as I attempted the assignment again just yesterday, before your tips 😂 As a small spoiler, I definitely did not like fast stab. I'll give it another shot though. I definitely learned that mining is not really as much of an issue as surviving in this particular assignment

@beezvax It's definitely a tough assignment, I feel ya. Best of luck 🙏

@beezvax And yeah fast stab definitely is why people say that Sword dome has a learning curve. But I promise once you get used to it, it's an absolute beast weapon!

@@BeheadedKamikaze I've picked it up on accident in the next run, and maybe it was just me being caught off-guard, but it felt at the moment that is not dealing nearly enough damage as long stab did (Not saying that's the case, just felt like it in the moment). I will give it a shot in non-assignment run, just to get a better feel of it :) However I can definitely see how it'd be veeeeeery strong with explosive suppliment :D

Oh man that was -extremely- frustrating! Like, buzz saws worked great up until that point, but then...big oof. Lucky infinite rockets were there

@ haha yeah it was good you found that. Would have been a restart otherwise. My suggestion would have been Auto Cannon and Spire. They can both operate autonomously and you can just stay underground the whole time after you unlock that. The supplement for Fast Firing Auto Cannon makes a big difference as well, but you would wanna make sure you pick the machinegun path, not the shotgun path. I lost a run because the shotgun was firing too slow to take out all the enemies in the final wave, even with the fast upgrade.

@@BeheadedKamikaze You know, I was debating on picking auto-cannon before I started recording, but figured I'd get something for ranged enemies (rockets) and something for melee (buzz saw). Almost cost me the run, but hey, all's well that ends well!

Glad to hear I mad the right call for once :D

Oh, that was totally calculated 😅

Yeah, it doesn't appear to be that great. Which is fine, but it working against me was not something I expected 😓

Wait what?! How can one tell that the pokemon is shiny? I'm looking at it now @3:55 and it looks like any other card to me 😅 I didn't even know they had shiny here!

@beezvax The different color, Machoke isn't usually green.

@@joshuaarroyo1264 I did not even realize that! You have a keen eye :D

Nice to still discover new things in a game you've been playing for a while now!

Hey! As always, thanks for the tips! I didn't realize the boss enemy is dealing THAT much damage! I kind of felt like I should thin out enemy numbers first before going after the boss, based on assumption that that many enemies would clearly outdamage a single one :D Good to know though, will adjust in the future! For the iron worms - honestly, I just dreaded navigating the tunnels of my own creation with a worm attached, just waiting to get stuck somewhere 😂 I do need to play with drones better. With the amount of upgrades I toss their way, it feels like they are not bringing resources quick enough, beyond whatever few I could not pick up. Guess I need some test runs with drones just to find that sweet spot where they start performing

guild assignments have always been. . . . difficult.... like that, that i can remember.

@@Alturvexs Oh yeah, they definitely are difficult (some more than others). Makes playing them fun though!

I absolutely agree with you. I know there are some people in community who managed to get summon builds to work for them (the absolute madmen!), but overall the summon builds have so far been disappointing. Luckily the developers are improving summons in upcoming patches (not sure about the numbers, but AI is getting reworked), so there's still hope!

Hey! Thanks for giving channel a chance! The game has a very nice learning curve and just challenging enough where you don't want to stop. I've only just recently gave pokefrost mod a try as suggested by another viewer. Can't recommend it enough if you haven't tried it yet

Thank you for the tips! I am glad to hear I was on the right track with the Spire. I definitely need more practice, especially for the challenge difficulty of the assignments, but it looks very doable. Still getting a feel of which enemies do most damage though! Next time I do this assignment I will definitely try Sword Dome. On an unrelated note, the name @BeheadedKamikaze and the picture - that's from Serious Same series, isn't it? Loved it!

@beezvax Right you are! Such a great game, and I loved the sounds they made 😂 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHH * boom! *

@@BeheadedKamikaze Haha, classic! Thanks for reminding me of its existence, will have to play it again!

@@lordmondayix3851 Happy holidays and new year to you too! Hope to keep seeing you around next year 🎉

Hey! You can pause the video at 27:43 to see the talents I used for the build (Unfortunately I've no talent calculator to link to for easier access)

I truly hope it isn't the killing blow, else that'd take a little bit more prep 😅

Magikarp does need to land the killing blow. If you aren't in shademancers your starting deck has a way to give Magikarp attack. The point of the design is to have a hard evolve condition for a powerful reward.

@ Welcome back :D I did figure it out, eventually that indeed Magikarp does need to land the killing blow. Good news is - I actually managed to pull it off its evolution too!

That does help! As always, thank you so much for the advise. I did a couple of runs outside of recordings and it did seem like some of the new companions can get crazy strong, especially with evolutions. I think I need to stop picking every pokemon I see and instead try and think about the builds again, despite how fun it seems to pick every new pokemon you see 🥲

It did feel like 2nd spawn was a little more rough than usual :D Was fun attempting though, definitely needs a very thought-out approach. But probably good idea to put it on a backburner for now 😅

Never considered getting rid of debuffs by pulling companions back into the deck, thank you for the tip!

Well this is unexpected :D I was convinced that upside down would be the easiest challenge yet, after all it's just an upside down map! Thanks for warning me!

@@beezvax It's all in the wave weight. You'll need a dome / setup that doesn't require heavy upgrades early to be able to survive.

@@BeheadedKamikaze Interesting. Well now I'll have to try it off-camera just to see what I've got to look forward to :D

@@beezvax Record it just in case! 😁 it is doable, so you never know! ❤

@@BeheadedKamikaze Would be funny if I did it on a first try, although by the sounds of it that'd be quite unlikely :D

Thanks for the tips! I was kind of getting that I waste a lot of time going back and forth. At least the drones were correct choice! And I have definitely missed the auto-repeat conversion, that alone might've saved the run... I tried worms in the previous run, and yeah, I came to the same conclusion where meticulous while extremely efficient, turned out to be a bit too slow of the challenge. It's alright though, the challenge looks very doable!

@@beezvax yeah I think you need Teleporter or high speed Lift to make it really work, otherwise the constant up & down will kill it

@@BeheadedKamikaze I'll have to experiment with that. I definitely don't want to replace my resource packer 😓

And welcome to the comment section :D

Hey, thanks for the list of games :) I've tried a couple of them (namely deep rock galactic and vampire survivors), but the rest seem to have flown under my radar :D

Brain firing on all cylinders on that fight :D And this is the reason I'm not too fond of charm merchant, too many...weird combinations. The mod looks very fun, thank you for suggesting it!

Hope you enjoyed it :)

Thank you for following the journey and sharing your tips! It would definitely take me twice as long to reach this point without them. Also, I appreciate your support during this whole time, made me not want to quit 😄 I definitely don't intend to drop the game, gonna see what else is there to do if not just do a couple of 10 bell runs for the fun of it. Not sure yet about recording them though. Do let me know if it'd be interesting to see modded runs, as I do have a plast playing, but I'm not sure if watching is just as fun 😅

​@@beezvax Beyond this point there's a few things you could do. You could try and get a true ending with every different storm bell, or every different clan, maybe finish up on unlocking things you haven't. Each card you beat the true final boss with gets a gold border, so you could try for a gold border on each pet; trying to gold border the entire collection of cards is a bit much though. I think it would be interesting to see modded runs, though that's coming from the perspective of somebody who has already 100%'d the base game. There's a lot of good mods out there that really shake things up. As mentioned there's Pokefrost, but I've seen a few people really enjoy Snowfall as well. And if you wanted to take a break from posting Wildfrost content for a while, I'd totally understand. Don't feel obligated to keep playing for the sake of one person if you think other games might get you more views.

30 second invulnerability was MVP on that one, I think I was too excited about completing the first challenge run that I didn't even notice :D Thanks for bringing this up!

Not looking pretty on the screen - that's a deal breaker! On a serious note, that does make sense, I'll try to keep in in mind. But I can't promise I won't try and make it symmetrical on auto-pilot 😓

Tree can grow up to three connected resources, max. If you don't connect any resource tiles to the roots you'll get 1 iron. You can mix any combination of iron, water, and cobalt - however the max. number of cobalt tiles that it can use is 1, and the max. number of water tiles that it can use is 2 - more than that is wasted. So the ideal would be 1 cobalt and 2 water for a very long run, or perhaps 2 iron and 1 water for a shorter run. 3 iron can also be useful if you have Condenser or just aren't using much water (mainly upgrading keeper and dome weapon).

@@BeheadedKamikaze And in order to "connect" nodes to a tree, they'd have to be relatively close in the same area I'd imagine?

@@beezvax The roots grow 1 tile per cycle so yeah they need to be about half a screen away MAX to be of any use. By connected, I mean you can form an unbroken chain of rock or resource tiles from the seed to each connected resource, in the same way that Iron Worms work.

@@BeheadedKamikaze Makes sense. Thanks for detailed description 👍

Hey, thanks for the reply! I guess I was a little salty when I said it wasn't even close :D There definitely weren't as many enemies. I think with better aim and prioritization I might've even had it! And thanks for the pointers, I'll try to call the items their correct names next time! Tree getting buffed does sound exciting though, it did feel a little weak last time I used it, I'll make sure to leave a mineral node untouched to see exactly how good it is!

@@beezvax Your are welcome. Frankly, I think you did good, aiming is more crucial when you use Monster Buster path for artillery Dome, but with the Blast radius path you've picked, its more about spray and pray. For the mineral tree : I guarantee since 4.1 it regain its glory. It roughly takes between 2-3 cycles between sowing to production, while it used to be around 7-8 cycles before IIRC. Though, Mineral tree strengths can go unnoticed when combined with Drones as they are harvesting it automatically and passively, also placed wisely it can be just as useful as the Resource Converter/Condenser when it come to Water and Cobalt. You just have to be lucky to find the seed early enough and keep a fertile vein intact.

@@lukaszpokoju Well, you've restored my faith in the mineral tree then! Gonna see if I can find it and see it in action!

@@lukaszpokoju "there's none that upgrade your main weapon" - you are inaccurate here, every dome has a very powerful supplement that upgrades the primary weapon. Laser gains Double Laser (160% overall power boost plus shoot on both sides), Sword gains Stab Bomb Delivery (huge AoE explosion), Tesla gains Perfect Timing (boost shot power if timed right), and Artillery gains Deafening Blast (a stun effect for nearby monsters)

Do you mean the darkness, that goes up to 100? If so, then the this run is at 100 and as you can see, not every build can get past it 😅 Gramted, my items were not the best for powers that I ran with, but I have definitely had easier time with other builds :D

I mean, it has to work eventually right? I did want to ask you a question though: I've hardly ever seen you play with the clunkmasters. Is that just personal preference?

@@lordmondayix3851 yeaaah, sort of. I don't really have anything against them, I just feel like the pool of cards they have doesn't resonate with me 😅 But I'll make sure to pick them next time, see if I change my mind :D

​@@beezvax I promise they're fun. Or at least they are to me. I just like all the ways they can break the game.

@@lordmondayix3851 Oh I have no doubt that they are :D Just need to find my niche in there! Need to figure out if there's some fun to be had with scrap or junk builds maybe

Reprisal is definitely a very solid pick imo, good for supporting, I wonder if it could be a blessing to build entire run around though?

@@beezvax i just tested it and it doesnt work, reprisal dont activate when enemy stand still stunned, so i swapped for knockback attack and it was much more better

@@glorybringer8817 Ahhh, makes sense, and the damage alone would not be enough to down an enemy with just 1 reprisal. Good to know though, thank you!

Yuuup! Now the plan is to figure out, which items work best with it...and of course surviving until vase can be fixed 😅

Blood for the blood...ship?

Cant blame Riggs for wanting more space

Haha, problably because Books seems to be living outside the time loop everyone's in!

Oooh, that's clever! Now just need to memorize the enemy ship layouts 😅 I do love the item though

That sounds lore-accurate :D

Haha, we ended up getting more Riggs anyway later on (they were selling Riggs plushie a little while ago). Thanks for watching!

As always, the solution is more damage :D Can't take heat damage if you leave the combat quick enough!

Thanks for pointing it out. I've pinned your message so hopefully it doesn't cause confusion!

Haha, I'm sure there is a mod for a grandma-bounty hunter out there somewhere :D Thanks for watching!

@@beezvax It's actually a reference to the previous game by the company called Sunshine Heavy Industries. Granny likes her guns.

@@Yacovo Really? I wasn't aware! Now I'll have to find it and see for myself :D

I like the concept of the ship, but it does require a little bit more thought behind the deck-building than I usually do

It was tempting though! I can't help but click yes on such offers because it just -sounds- fun. Sometimes reason prevails though 😅
