homing rocks will remain my favorite of all time solely because of the mental image of a fucking rock flying through the halls of a hiisi base at high speed killing everybody
Yes plz. Start a series and make a run of it. 2-slots 3-slots 4-slots ect. I did not know about the piercing shot and prickly shroom and my world view has changed.
You’ve shown most of the classics and even some i didn’t know yet, thanks! I really like the homing + random damage modifier + slime mist build. Gets you easily through the main game.
I love bounce and chainsaw. it makes the chain saw projectiles affected by gravity and kill everything in their path (the entire area below you is a shower of damage that is mostly invisible until it hits the floor)
This is EXACTLY the kind of noita videos I (as a semi-new player) am looking for. I dont care to see "tips and tricks #57" I dont want to hear, for the 8000th time, to "just take your time learn every single enemy's attack patterns and oh also perfectly memorize all the heart generation zones and you'll do better HUrRrRrr," I dont want to see how best to teleport around parallel worlds with a broken, unrealistic end-game wand that I'll never get... I just want to see actual, genuinely useful things like this video. Learning the game is expected to come with time, but it makes it MUCH EASIER TO LEARN when you have tools that can actually help facilitate that.
@@jhonviel7381 Lol, not really. DunkOrSlam is the guy I'm making fun of when I said "memorize every single heart generation zone in the procedural tile layout" because that was one of his "tips" to do, as if thats not insanity asking a new player to expect how to do to get better at the game. Like, YES, HE MAKES GOOD VIDEOS, let me go ahead and say that, Dunk makes great videos, but hes way too caught up on stuff for people (like himself) who already know how to play the game and can do well at it. Also, none of this stuff really applies anymore because I learned Dunk and a lot of other streamers who do runs literally just use outside backups when doing "legitimate" runs because the games code is so broken, you can crash and reload back into cursed rock walls and die because of bugs and unoptimizations inherent in the games base coding ....so thats what I did to get my first legitimate run done. Just backed up the saves and every time I died to some bullshit I couldnt contol, just reloaded the save. I now play with mods, which not only make the game slightly easier, but also just straight up make it more fun to play because you arent limited by dumb choices made by the devs (like tiny, tiny, tiny wand slots and FOUR?? FUCKING FOUR inventory slots, like really???). Its just much more enjoyable playing the game at my own pace, rather than having to do what most of the community "wants," which is sweating hard and growing your neckbeards out because "git gud" mentality is still at the core of this community, at a game thats literally based on rng and not any real skill...
Wrote this up for myself, figured I'd post and share as I didn't see it anywhere else. Preface: Greek letter spells extremely powerful. 'nuff said. Damage/Transport: #1 - Ping-Pong Path & Luminous Drill (almost too OP, one of best kill & drill in game) #2 - Long-Distance Cast & Small Teleport Bolt (can use normal teleport bolt, but small is faster) #3 - Piercing Shot & Prickly Spore Pod (even more insane with homing) Few homing builds #4 - Homing & Unstable Crystal (extremely high damage trick kills) #5 - Homing & Plasma Cutter, or any plasma you like (careful of self damage) #6 - Short-Range Homing & Rock (Homing works just as well, can kick rocks around after, crazy good with unlimited spells perk) Drilling #7 - Matter Eater & Long Distance Cast (LDC counts as projectile, makes ME uses to not decrement, only doesn't eat cursed rock) Damage (cont): #8 - Square Barrier & Spells to Power & Spark Bolt (2 click use, barrier can self damage so stay inside, high 1 hit dmg) #9 - Freezing Charge & Summon Tentacle (can 1 shot later game enemies unless immunity, tentacles shorter range but can increase it with light shot) #10 - Orbiting Arc & Lightening Bolt (can extend range past screen border, bonus if bolt doesn't hit target, explosion delayed)
For the homing plasma I think it would be much safer to use it after a long-range cast or a trigger. If there's an enemy behind you, the beam can suddenly do a 180 and damage you. Also one of my favourite simple builds is a spark bolt with trigger + orbiting/spiral arc + note spell. It is not that powerful on its own, but it's very easy to upgrade with various modifiers. It also uses little mana so it can be fired rapidly.
Homing plasma is how I killed the Wand Connoisseur the first time. I put it on a music wand with some notes and orbiting arc and 3 chainsaws, I tested it with a quick tap burst and he lost 20 hp, then I went "send it" and let'er rip with a full auto-salvo from off screen. The Wand Connoisseur evaporated instantly.
I love this and would like a part 2. Here's another idea: non-synergies. A video about things you see in a wand that will kill you easily. That or risky builds
my favourite is when starting a run in nightmare, I once saw the perks electricity and fungal colony in that order, I picked electricity, then fungal colony, it spawned the slime flask which instantly shattered due to the electricity, and spawned the fungal creatures, which exploded me in the most hilarious fashion I ever witnessed.
I had the angry ghost with me when I tried to throw like eight explosive boxes at an enemy. It shot my previous wand and exploded all boxes while they had barely moved a pixel. I was very dead.
It is Noita, I bet any combination that isn't specifically caster-friendly (and even those in certain circumstances) will turn you into a burnt dissolving piece of frozen mincemeat at some point. The general rule would be - what is good at killing enemies is good at killing you. A few times I made use of Giant Explosion on Slimy, Slime Mist and Spark bolt with trigger. It became that much better when I switched to a slower projectile and added homing. Ever so often the target would come too close before being hit effectively kamikaze-ing me with my own spell.
Might I recommend piercing + missile? I got it randomly on an early game puzzle wand and was shocked to see it melt enemies and bosses alike. 50 damage per tick and built-in homing, pretty nice.
Wait what, rocks retain homing and you can just kick them to keep them going?! Dude, this game is SO insane. Everytime I think I've got a handle on it, some new element rears it's head. Amazing honestly. Props to the devs ❤
Not just that, it retains any modifier. You can use light + rock to have an infinite light source in the dark cave or places were fog of war reappear. Also fun is water rail + rock for constant water
Thanks for the great video Fury! I've always struggled with building good wands and most videos I've seen about it focus on chainsaws and add manas, which aren't super common in my runs. I only knew about a few of these combos so I'm super excited to play around with them. Love this type of content, keep up the good work!
Love this video. Usually wand videos go over intricate mechanics and very high-level builds with crazy cool combos. While that's still awesome, I feel the common player struggles to even reach Hiisi base, because the common early game spells and modifiers aren't immediately recognizable as potentially really good combos. Please do a part 2 for this one! Thanks Fury, finally got a win after a few dry months!
I started this video expecting to know every combo and feel good about my game knowledge (since my gameplay DEFINITELY isn't as good), but I was actually pleasantly surprised by the matter eater and lightning bolt spells. Can't wait to try them out on my next playthrough!
My all-time favorite is teleporting cast + explosion. Use a trigger beforehand to avoid blowing yourself up if there are no valid targets nearby. You can also add chain spell to the explosion for enormous damage.
Great informative video! If you make a part 2 (which you should), you should mention what is, in my opinion, the most reliable and easy to find early-game wand build: fireball orbit and spark bolt. Spark bolt is extremely reliable, low mana cost, accurate and has a good range, but can lack in damage. Fireball orbit adds a lot of explosive damage, and while it does cost 40 mana per cast, it is well worth it. If you want to go further, adding chainsaws and "add mana" can make this into a ridiculous machine-gun wand, which has carried a lot of my best runs. The only caviat to this is that you need to kill the dragon for the orbit spells, but you've already got a good chance at beating it if you made it through the jungle. In opposition to the alchemist (which i still haven't beat after 170 hours), it doesn't have freeze immunity.
It digs, it sets on fire (which stops many enemies from attacking), it's explosive, it effectively makes the hitbox of your projectile larger... it's nice.
Piercing + Prickly Spore Pod is an excellent combo! Whenever I get Valtikka (puzzle wand with Always Cast Piercing), I always put on as many Prickly Spore Pod as I can find.
@@jonathanpfeffer3716 There's a few puzzles in-game that give wands as a reward. Pay attention to the structures around the world. Spoilers below the thing: (hopefully this properly cuts off) The Valtikka is from a puzzle in Snowy Depths where there's a steel capsule with the alchemical symbol for water. If you pour a ton of water into the capsule, it'll spawn the wand.
I want to say that long distance cast with thunder bolt is much better for newer players because it's completely removes the ability of killing yourself with it. (except dying in water of electrocution)
I usually always pick electric immunity if i get it to not just instantly die from accidentally sitting in water with a wand that has an electric modifier.
yeah for sure i used a variant of this in hiis base, along with a bouncing bolt on the same wand+add mana. i could only get like 4 shots of in a row, but that was enough. i had explosion immunity & i just stood behind cover and melted everything without taking a smidge of damage lol
You missed one that it's extremely easy to build and can kill any enemy util the last level: Triplicate Bolt + Fireball Orbit You still need to be careful about setting yourself on fire on stuff, but if you aim your wand in a way that the fireballs orbiting the bolts (Wich there's 12 since they orbit around the 3 proyectiles) hit the enemies instead of the bolt itself, the damage is unmatched by almost any early-game combination of spells.
I don't understand - aren't they pretty self-explanatory just from their in-game description? Like Alpha/Gamma casting the first/last spell in the wand (even if that limited spell has no more charges)
I found a ping pong path laser drill wand on maybe my 7th run ever? I'd only made it to the coal pits before, but with a LOT of caution and drilling through floors I managed to get my first win off the back of that wand! Such a great feeling of being totally out of my depth, with only a powerful artifact I don't fully understand to protect me...
As someone who’s only played for about a month and has 50+ hours in the game, my favorite low slot wand is a zero slot black hole always cast wand that carried me on one of my recent runs while I ratted in tunnels avoiding everything lol, no wand tinkering required
I'm pretty sure my first boss kill was with a piercing spore homing wand. FYI it's a lot safer if you have projectile repulsion field perk. (Putting linear modifier on your black holes keeps them from doing that annoying misdirection while you try to dig.)
holy shit this video is such a great help. I got 132 hours in noita and never ever finished the game or killed a boss. I had some pretty good wands so far, but they were some lucky few and I died because I didn't know things, as is custom in noita. whenever I see people run noita they just have 32 slot wands and all the added mana and chainsaws there are. and I only get non-shuffeling 2-3 slot wands or wands that are just bricked.
Personal favorites are the kill aura trigger spells, so for instance, Spark Bolt with Trigger -> Damage Field -> Death Cross Bonus efficiency if your death cross has homing on it
I wanted to highlight that speed+ into lumi drill might be a little more available than ping pong for the death laser build. Thank you for showing these. I never knew the long distance affect on matter eater. genius!
Thanks for the video Fury! Just claimed my first win with ping pong lumi. I sprinkled it with modifiers and later put it on a wand that always casts two-way fireballs.
do also note, while I am new to the game, know that for rock and homing, you can substitute homing with short range homing, still works well, a little less well, but it still is beautiful.
Any number of tentacles with timer, I used 4, with a magic explosion at the end. Spawns 4 lengths of tentacle, then blows up sending tentacles everywhere. Add some damage boost and speed ups, pretty effective
How people are able to find out about all this and remember it all is mind bending. There must be trillions upon trillions of combinations of wands/spells you can create in this game and the fact people come up with so unusual, unorthodox combinations is insane, because the game doesn't even tell you about many properties of spells and how they affect each other and in many cases you only have a limited amount of tries AND many of those tries result in your instant death.
I love homing plus damage up death cross. Since death cross isn't deleted when enemies walk into it, it ends up doing damage for every frame it touches an enemy. And then it explodes.
@5:00 wait so why does it not use spell uses? is it because it needs to collide with terrain to lose a use, but since tp bolt's don't collide with terrain it's never used?
another minimal + early game teleport build: long distance cast and return. It allows you to 'teleport' through several body lengths of material. Its slow, and a kludge but in my current game with no other tele options, its allowed me to explore the coal pits much more lol
yeah, done that when I couldn't safely kill the shopkeeper yet :) Return is awesome early on for being able to put wands into the next Holy Mountain - I've had runs where I put some eight wands from Coal Pits/Mushroom biome into the Snowy Depth Mountain, just to make three relatively awesome wands out of the parts xD levitating against a ceiling to store wands there so they cannot get picked up by anyone else
I didn't know any of these. I've always went for builds like (trigger spell, cast 3, some explosive stuff, or other things with decent damage) and then stick with that build for the run. I'm going to experiment more
I can't believe I've gone years without knowing piercing and spore pod was so busted... It might requiere a few more slots, but don't forget infinite pollen loops with triggers. Death cross have innate piercing abilities just like music notes, which is exceptional with Add Trigger, but their piercing doesn't proc or damage the player itself. The humble egg in general is insanely useful, but multiple explosive projectile on an egg makes damage scale like crazy. The most simple sparkbolt with trigger, maybe a few damage up of any kind, and then any multi cast spells are insane damage as well. Also, I demand part 2. There's so many other early combos or early tricks to obtain powerful wands and spells early... wink wink.... ways to visit Wandmart before the first holy mountain.... and how to cheese Squidward.
Learned the power of plasma from here. Sparkbolt trigger, homing, multiply by 4, plasma cutter. The sparkbolt trigger for optional safety and if you use multiply itll cut through nearly all terrain like butter
I'm a beginner Noita player that tries to avoid external info as much as I can. Because I'm streaming my noob times to show experienced viewers and future me the novelty that comes from a fresh mind. It's also interesting to see how novice players try seemingly stupid things. But I started to get a little info from outside, just to have some hints on the possibilities. And wow, the strong things that I probably wouldn't normally try are huge! If I make a relatively strong wand, I say "wow, this is huge". Then, I see videos of 1000+ damage wands 🤣
Some spells need to be unlocked by doing certain things in the game before you'll start to see them. The "Greek letter" spells are some of these. You need to defeat the Alchemist boss in order to unlock them.
Homing, Freezing Circle (whatever the name is) and Spells to Power. The circle remains, and both StP and it move towards any enemy thanks to homing, ignoring walls. These alone do little damage, and since I have no idea how to make wands I can't help in telling how to make it more powerful, but even this alone can help killing A LOT of Noita's enemies.
My favorite is Chainsaw + Pingpong Path It GREATLY increases the range of the chainsaw spell and because it reduces the cast time, it's a great combo to synergize with other spells!
My recent favorite was water trail, scatter shot, spark torch with electric immunity. It was fun watching everything helplessly swim while gettig electrocuted
My fav combo. Bouncing homing chainsaw. Melts throught anything AND can't kill you (90% of deaths I have are caused by not having immunity to everything)
i'm wondering what to get after a traumatising first tower clear from the three wands above, had teleportitis and it was actually helpful in there and carried me by not allowing me to get completely destroyed my some of the enemies there. (like i shot one of the shield bubble bulbhead guys with a wand that rapidfires and kills most other things but then i got a return fire of a million thunderbolts, luckily i had electric immunity as well.)
I could use a "low tier" NG++ high damage combos Scavaging for hours for all the Divide By, Gold to Power, Blood to power, Spells to power, all the rare modifiers, good high capacity wands is very demanding ... Are there some "simple" low cost build for NG+ that can deal few thousands damage without farming for hours ?
Wand refresh, 2x cast or any other one, any spell like a spark bolt. Itll cast the projectile rapidly until all mana is consumed. Sure, wand refresh can be a bit harder to get but its still awesome
I like that the note spells (which you showcased some time ago) can do a ton of damage without a lot of mana or slots. What was it... trigger spell + ping pong or orbit + note? Something like that?
My best playthrough so far started with a ping pong lumi, ended with a increase lifetime dual lumi damage up +8 hungry ghosts with the small rotating guard. One of the most insane wands I'd ever made.
I once managed to get a luminous drill to go in a long straight line kind of like the pingpong drill, but I've completely forgotten how to do it. I still have the save, but I can't access it anymore because I can't copy that file back into the save slot, probably because of a patch, and I don't want to destroy my data from steam. I accidentally swapped my saves a bit too many times, and I lost almost all my progress in found spells.
Also +time + luminus drill )) It just consumes a lot of mana. Activator + Midas Touch. How does the stone's curse modifier work? I played with him a couple of times - I still don’t understand, it seems to be a lot of damage, but it seems you can’t say that about enemies.
1) Although it takes 4 spells (perhaps more than you intended for this video), I particularly love putting the infinite circle of vigor on my teleport wand. 2) I have always dismissed the prickly spore pod as too situational, but hot damn. I never thought of putting piercing on it. That looks incredible! 3) I found homing rocks to be unreliable. They more often than not just push enemies around rather than kill them, especially in the "Temple of the Art". Accelerative homing, however, seems to be a lot more reliable. 4) Spells to power! I've been totally dismissing that because I never quite knew how to control which projectiles get absorbed. The square barrier is genius (if dangerous). 5) Where in hell did you get the courage to ever attempt putting orbiting arc onto a lightning bolt? I would have assumed that'd be an instant suicide wand. All in all, excellent video!
it depends, I always struggle to afford either a luminous drill or a chain saw when the first holy mountain offers wands with them (and I didn't go on a killing spree for gold) often, they're not even available options.
Homing propane tank is also very viable. 10 charges, physics kills, and an explosive finisher. Nice for clearing out densely packed rooms like Hiisi base, but def more dangerous.
damn nice combos, i am very new to the game (checked 8.8hrs on steam rn) and just got a new pr by making a chain casting wand with double cast magic arrow with trigger and plasma cutter. you might have guessed it i died by the wand but everything melted in my way!!! (i know the power of plasma)
homing rocks will remain my favorite of all time solely because of the mental image of a fucking rock flying through the halls of a hiisi base at high speed killing everybody

Oh yeah, homing damage mist is very fun.
try the doubleshot + lightning arc variant on two slime mists, it shreds everything in seconds
I love bounce and chainsaw. it makes the chain saw projectiles affected by gravity and kill everything in their path (the entire area below you is a shower of damage that is mostly invisible until it hits the floor)

The homing rock makes me think of Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy with his arrow and how it flies as he whistles, that's frickin' awesome
add red spark trail

Yea, even in the vid we could clearly see that he almost got hit once, when beam suddenly turned to him. So keeping distance with that is essential
Even worse, the teleswap mages will basically kill you if you use this on them. They will swap you right into your own beam
Is it a good wand if it DOESN'T kill you half way through the run?

I usually always pick electric immunity if i get it to not just instantly die from accidentally sitting in water with a wand that has an electric modifier.
yeah for sure i used a variant of this in hiis base, along with a bouncing bolt on the same wand+add mana. i could only get like 4 shots of in a row, but that was enough. i had explosion immunity & i just stood behind cover and melted everything without taking a smidge of damage lol
Never knew about LDCs interaction with telebolt. Adding nola on a 3 slot is flippin amazing. Thanks dude
You missed one that it's extremely easy to build and can kill any enemy util the last level: Triplicate Bolt + Fireball Orbit
You still need to be careful about setting yourself on fire on stuff, but if you aim your wand in a way that the fireballs orbiting the bolts (Wich there's 12 since they orbit around the 3 proyectiles) hit the enemies instead of the bolt itself, the damage is unmatched by almost any early-game combination of spells.
I love that one. definitely a classic from the daily practice runs.
double cast, chainsaw, [damage] has got to be onr of my faves
Damage Field + Pollen! It goes so slowly that even 4-5 of them will do huge damage to an enemy as the pollen approaches.
acid trail+pollen 👹
How did I not know about ping pong lazer...I have hundreds of hours on this game. Looking forward to a part 2!
Definitely a part 2!!! This is gold content, i speed click every time
This was very helpful! I would love to see a guide to the Greek letters since I don't really fully grasp those yet
I don't understand - aren't they pretty self-explanatory just from their in-game description? Like Alpha/Gamma casting the first/last spell in the wand (even if that limited spell has no more charges)
I found a ping pong path laser drill wand on maybe my 7th run ever? I'd only made it to the coal pits before, but with a LOT of caution and drilling through floors I managed to get my first win off the back of that wand! Such a great feeling of being totally out of my depth, with only a powerful artifact I don't fully understand to protect me...
As someone who’s only played for about a month and has 50+ hours in the game, my favorite low slot wand is a zero slot black hole always cast wand that carried me on one of my recent runs while I ratted in tunnels avoiding everything lol, no wand tinkering required
I'm pretty sure my first boss kill was with a piercing spore homing wand. FYI it's a lot safer if you have projectile repulsion field perk. (Putting linear modifier on your black holes keeps them from doing that annoying misdirection while you try to dig.)
holy shit this video is such a great help. I got 132 hours in noita and never ever finished the game or killed a boss. I had some pretty good wands so far, but they were some lucky few and I died because I didn't know things, as is custom in noita.
whenever I see people run noita they just have 32 slot wands and all the added mana and chainsaws there are. and I only get non-shuffeling 2-3 slot wands or wands that are just bricked.
Wow so easy to kill everything when you have the knowledge. Thx for sharing 😊
Please make more of this! This video is making me wanna get back on the game again
I've got a few hundred hours in the game and didn't know about half of these. :) thank you for the video
100% would love a part 2
Personal favorites are the kill aura trigger spells, so for instance, Spark Bolt with Trigger -> Damage Field -> Death Cross
Bonus efficiency if your death cross has homing on it
Didn't know quite a few of these even like 400 hours in. good stuff
I wanted to highlight that speed+ into lumi drill might be a little more available than ping pong for the death laser build. Thank you for showing these. I never knew the long distance affect on matter eater. genius!
Thanks, legendary video for all our up and coming Minas. Keep up all the good work, God bless ❤️
Thanks for the video Fury!
Just claimed my first win with ping pong lumi. I sprinkled it with modifiers and later put it on a wand that always casts two-way fireballs.
very useful. i didn't know about the eat matter/ long distance spell combo
do also note, while I am new to the game, know that for rock and homing, you can substitute homing with short range homing, still works well, a little less well, but it still is beautiful.
Any number of tentacles with timer, I used 4, with a magic explosion at the end. Spawns 4 lengths of tentacle, then blows up sending tentacles everywhere. Add some damage boost and speed ups, pretty effective
Incredibly useful as always - more, more, Part 2 required!
most of these I've seen, but I am DEFINITELY going to try the matter eater wand.
Yooo fury thanks for this video these combos look so amazing and are so simple at the same time
Bro this is THE video I have been looking for. My man.
How people are able to find out about all this and remember it all is mind bending. There must be trillions upon trillions of combinations of wands/spells you can create in this game and the fact people come up with so unusual, unorthodox combinations is insane, because the game doesn't even tell you about many properties of spells and how they affect each other and in many cases you only have a limited amount of tries AND many of those tries result in your instant death.
Really quick and concise video with some awesome combos! even after 100s of runs I learned something new from this! Thanks!!
I love homing plus damage up death cross. Since death cross isn't deleted when enemies walk into it, it ends up doing damage for every frame it touches an enemy. And then it explodes.
bouncy balls/ double cast/ chainsaw(s) with a somewhat low delay and recharge wand got me my first ever win and i loved this combo ever since lol
@5:00 wait so why does it not use spell uses? is it because it needs to collide with terrain to lose a use, but since tp bolt's don't collide with terrain it's never used?
another minimal + early game teleport build: long distance cast and return. It allows you to 'teleport' through several body lengths of material. Its slow, and a kludge but in my current game with no other tele options, its allowed me to explore the coal pits much more lol
yeah, done that when I couldn't safely kill the shopkeeper yet :) Return is awesome early on for being able to put wands into the next Holy Mountain - I've had runs where I put some eight wands from Coal Pits/Mushroom biome into the Snowy Depth Mountain, just to make three relatively awesome wands out of the parts xD levitating against a ceiling to store wands there so they cannot get picked up by anyone else
I didn't know any of these. I've always went for builds like (trigger spell, cast 3, some explosive stuff, or other things with decent damage) and then stick with that build for the run. I'm going to experiment more
i REALLY needed this, thanks... Would love a followup
I can't believe I've gone years without knowing piercing and spore pod was so busted...
It might requiere a few more slots, but don't forget infinite pollen loops with triggers.
Death cross have innate piercing abilities just like music notes, which is exceptional with Add Trigger, but their piercing doesn't proc or damage the player itself.
The humble egg in general is insanely useful, but multiple explosive projectile on an egg makes damage scale like crazy.
The most simple sparkbolt with trigger, maybe a few damage up of any kind, and then any multi cast spells are insane damage as well.
Also, I demand part 2. There's so many other early combos or early tricks to obtain powerful wands and spells early... wink wink.... ways to visit Wandmart before the first holy mountain.... and how to cheese Squidward.
Super useful and concise, thank you!
super useful, im newer to the game and these look great!
first time seeing that spore wand. I underestimated it so much. Will keep a lookout for it
Learned the power of plasma from here.
Sparkbolt trigger, homing, multiply by 4, plasma cutter.
The sparkbolt trigger for optional safety and if you use multiply itll cut through nearly all terrain like butter
I'm a beginner Noita player that tries to avoid external info as much as I can. Because I'm streaming my noob times to show experienced viewers and future me the novelty that comes from a fresh mind. It's also interesting to see how novice players try seemingly stupid things.
But I started to get a little info from outside, just to have some hints on the possibilities. And wow, the strong things that I probably wouldn't normally try are huge! If I make a relatively strong wand, I say "wow, this is huge". Then, I see videos of 1000+ damage wands 🤣
Beautiful
4:48 Wait what moment
Whats about double spell, chainsaw and spark bolt which triggers digging explosion?
THANK YOU for this so much dude ❤ So useful 😊
0:54 can someone tell me how do i "unlock" a spell? im new to this game
Some spells need to be unlocked by doing certain things in the game before you'll start to see them. The "Greek letter" spells are some of these. You need to defeat the Alchemist boss in order to unlock them.
amazing. part 2 please
Homing, Freezing Circle (whatever the name is) and Spells to Power.
The circle remains, and both StP and it move towards any enemy thanks to homing, ignoring walls.
These alone do little damage, and since I have no idea how to make wands I can't help in telling how to make it more powerful, but even this alone can help killing A LOT of Noita's enemies.
My favorite is Chainsaw + Pingpong Path
It GREATLY increases the range of the chainsaw spell and because it reduces the cast time, it's a great combo to synergize with other spells!
My recent favorite was water trail, scatter shot, spark torch with electric immunity. It was fun watching everything helplessly swim while gettig electrocuted
I've written them all down and now I'm going to try and beat this game
My fav combo. Bouncing homing chainsaw. Melts throught anything AND can't kill you (90% of deaths I have are caused by not having immunity to everything)
i'm wondering what to get after a traumatising first tower clear from the three wands above, had teleportitis and it was actually helpful in there and carried me by not allowing me to get completely destroyed my some of the enemies there. (like i shot one of the shield bubble bulbhead guys with a wand that rapidfires and kills most other things but then i got a return fire of a million thunderbolts, luckily i had electric immunity as well.)
That's very informative video. I myself love mist wands with a damage field and homing
splitter bolt lumi drill then double scatter is my first proper made wand and its basically a minigun
FURY! You MADLAD you helped me beat the game!
GG!
I could use a "low tier" NG++ high damage combos
Scavaging for hours for all the Divide By, Gold to Power, Blood to power, Spells to power, all the rare modifiers, good high capacity wands is very demanding ...
Are there some "simple" low cost build for NG+ that can deal few thousands damage without farming for hours ?
Wand refresh, 2x cast or any other one, any spell like a spark bolt.
Itll cast the projectile rapidly until all mana is consumed.
Sure, wand refresh can be a bit harder to get but its still awesome
Chainsaw on a lot of quick wands does the same thing.
I like that the note spells (which you showcased some time ago) can do a ton of damage without a lot of mana or slots. What was it... trigger spell + ping pong or orbit + note? Something like that?
Orbit is better, since it adds damage.
My best playthrough so far started with a ping pong lumi, ended with a increase lifetime dual lumi damage up +8 hungry ghosts with the small rotating guard.
One of the most insane wands I'd ever made.
I once managed to get a luminous drill to go in a long straight line kind of like the pingpong drill, but I've completely forgotten how to do it. I still have the save, but I can't access it anymore because I can't copy that file back into the save slot, probably because of a patch, and I don't want to destroy my data from steam. I accidentally swapped my saves a bit too many times, and I lost almost all my progress in found spells.
I always return to spark bolt -> cast on impact -> plasma cross
It kills me often, but it shreds
Rock+that homing spell that makes things get faster the longer it lasts is genuinely terrifying
Thanks! Please part 2
Also +time + luminus drill )) It just consumes a lot of mana.
Activator + Midas Touch.
How does the stone's curse modifier work? I played with him a couple of times - I still don’t understand, it seems to be a lot of damage, but it seems you can’t say that about enemies.
Great video, perfect for new people!
1) Although it takes 4 spells (perhaps more than you intended for this video), I particularly love putting the infinite circle of vigor on my teleport wand. 2) I have always dismissed the prickly spore pod as too situational, but hot damn. I never thought of putting piercing on it. That looks incredible! 3) I found homing rocks to be unreliable. They more often than not just push enemies around rather than kill them, especially in the "Temple of the Art". Accelerative homing, however, seems to be a lot more reliable. 4) Spells to power! I've been totally dismissing that because I never quite knew how to control which projectiles get absorbed. The square barrier is genius (if dangerous). 5) Where in hell did you get the courage to ever attempt putting orbiting arc onto a lightning bolt? I would have assumed that'd be an instant suicide wand. All in all, excellent video!
a couple of these I didnt know. Thanks dude!
One of my favourites is chainsaw + multicast + spark bolt. Simple, cheap and very effective chaingun ;)
And you missed it :(
Good but not powerful, add mana is pretty much required
@@Kuba_K it depends on the wand
better with sparkbolt trigger?
my favorite is probably chainsaw/luminous drill + double spell + any projectile
it's very easy to get early
it depends, I always struggle to afford either a luminous drill or a chain saw when the first holy mountain offers wands with them (and I didn't go on a killing spree for gold) often, they're not even available options.
Ping Pong can replaced by Phasing projectiles and achieve the same effect, I found that out on an "Always Phasing Projectiles" Wand
Homing propane tank is also very viable. 10 charges, physics kills, and an explosive finisher. Nice for clearing out densely packed rooms like Hiisi base, but def more dangerous.
damn nice combos, i am very new to the game (checked 8.8hrs on steam rn) and just got a new pr by making a chain casting wand with double cast magic arrow with trigger and plasma cutter. you might have guessed it i died by the wand but everything melted in my way!!! (i know the power of plasma)
I never thought that only two spells could be so effective. I'll definitely have to do some experimenting.
