      I swear NL never looks at comments. Something to this effect has been commented on every witch run since he started. I saw all the comments as a viewer and he apparently didn't. Hall of mirrors is good as witch and mirror cauldron is even better. He doesn't care; he just wants to hate the character.

    NL's constant refusal to respect the Mirror series of extra-dice-granters is amazing.

    • @BCGpp
      @BCGpp 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unpopular opinion, but people *really* overvalue upgraded slots. Most of my winning ep4-ep6 runs happened with 4 prep slots (and the rest with 3 prep + 1 upgraded). Of course upgraded slots get better the longer the fight goes on, but that's not gonna happen unless you're exploiting HoM or Mirror Cauldron. In hard mode, you don't have the luxury of stalling anyway. Being able to set up for a good opener & good follow-up turns > sometimes having improved effects if you get lucky rolls.

  • @sedifric873
    @sedifric873 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Harvest shythe is amazing against the boss btw.
    That's how I managed to finish witch chapter 6 after days of trying.
    In an upgraded slot it's 5x. So if you roll a 6 and a 5 that's 55 damage. It's basically an assured kill in 3 turns.

    • @Kostucha.
      @Kostucha. 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      the mirror equipment is only ever good if you have other shielding/healing equipment to keep you alive while you set up extra dice, it's slow but apparently it works for some. Otherwise you'd much rather use the dice for damaging enemies and ending the fights quickly.

    • @TheRealPunkachu
      @TheRealPunkachu 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I actually think NL is right about this one. Especially since the rose effect made blood cauldron stupidly OP, he probably should've just put four of it out and never use anything else.

    • @tracyh5751
      @tracyh5751 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mirror equip is very slow and requires shield or heals to enable stall for the time needed to set it up. Blood Rose is basically the strongest the witch gets in episode 6 and is how I beat witch's hard mode. The only thing I would change is to take one upgraded slot, because it gives blood cauldron 2 uses each cast which is hilarious.

    In all the bonus rounds I've ever played, across all the characters, I've never ever gotten a ruleset as good as this ruleset is for the Witch. 2 rules that are great for Dice Throwing (Rose, Hothead), and 2 that are completely harmless (Dire Wolf, Alchemist) since the Witch can't access curse, and every fight here could be won in 4 turns anyway. Including the the boss (He missed lethal just before she transformed by throwing the five and three for 4 damage instead of placing and playing Cold Snap for 6 damage).

    • @michaelalbert5263
      @michaelalbert5263 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's pretty highly overrated imo. Scaling builds in Dicey tend not to work well if they aren't scaling regen or scaling block. Every die you spend on mirror cauldron to get an extra die next turn is damage you threw away in the hopes that you'll recoup that damage later. On paper it looks good, since you lose 1 die turn 1, but get 1 extra die every turn after that. You're made up your loss by turn 2 and you've gotten interest on it by turn 3, what a great ability! In practice, most fights are over by the time the scaling from mirror cauldron begins to kick in (and this is assuming you don't get fucked on rolling 6's). If you're really *really* good about calculating damage and thinking ahead, you could probably save 1 turn on some of the fights where enemies have 40+ hp, but for the most part you'll take the same number of turns (or more if you go all in on it) to kill an enemy with it than you would without it.

    • @strifera

      No. NL drastically underrates it. NL underrates several god tier equipment due to bad strategy and/or a refusal to look at upgrades.

    • @tracyh5751
      @tracyh5751 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Possibly. If you are going to use mirror cauldron, you will either have to have the dice manipulation to set up 6's consistently, or shield/heals to stall until you do. NL had the equipment to go for mirror cauldron this run, but blood+rose is much more consistent, so was not at all a bad decision given the opportunity.
