This void item is so weird. Idk why they made it deal such little damage. And have a longer cooldown. I just have no idea why they made it worse in both ways. I agree with you. It’s garbage. I only take if it’s stage 5 about to fight mythrix and I had zero of the normal bands
Even when I use it because of the "better than no bands" reason, it barely functions because the enemy simply walks out of the explosion bubble, which proceeds to obliterate the thin air with 300 damage before doing it again 20 seconds later
@@godslayer9000Majority of enemies cannot escape the bubble, including Mithrix. I agree the singularity bands are garbage, but I've never had that issue.
in a roguelike where your power is directly related to how many items you got, any mechanic that's gonna allow you to get more items you want is gonna be fantastic
Funny aaaahhhhh interaction: A void Dio's on engi makes it so he can use both bands on his own as soon as one of his turrets die. As long as he himself doesn't trigger the item by dying, there are times where one turret will have regular bands, and the other will get void bands. Also, engi relies on shurikens to activate them too. Regardless of which ones you pick up so... Yeah, better look out for those too.
I would also pick it up before mythrix if you only have kjaro's bands because rarely will he take more than a couple ticks of damage from the fire tornado from how mobile he is and the 5 seconds of hard cc from the singularity (while it statistically does less damage) will help you do more damage by getting safe, consistent, and close shots (for when you have focus crystal or are playing a survior with a decent damage dropoff like commando).
if you proc a kjaros band in the middle of the arena right before mithrix dies in phase 3, you can skip phase 4 entirely, so this probably still isn't worth it
If they halved the cooldown and doubled the damage, Singularity Band would be way more attractive as a CC alternative to the elemental bands' raw damage. Having double the cooldown and a wuarter of the damage for a budget Primordial Cube is fun but not practical. Makes me sad too, because I like having interesting effects more than extra damage. Fuel Cell Blast Shower with Railgunner is worth trying at least once tho. You already deal monstrous damage and now they can't move their weakpoints.

It really is a contender for the worst item in the game
the only time I've ever picked up void band was when i got it before unlocking the regular bands
Another exception would be if you don’t have the Till Death Do Us Part achievement, therefore making the singularity band the only unlocked band item.
3:53 wrong, it takes 6 singularity bands because the cooldown is twice as long
royal capacitor is probably the best damage equipment in the game, but it doesn't even come close to being as good as recycler, tricorn, or card

I kind of like Singularity band sometimes. It worked really well when I had multiple ukes and that one red item that makes al damage explosive as rex.

@@scottd426 yeah but phase 4 is usually free anyway unless you have some really nasty item synergies for mithrix or 67 safer spaces
@@dando541 only phase I ever die on if I die personally
@@scottd426 usually I die on phase 3 due to dodging bad and I just stand behind a pillar for phase 4
@@dando541 I used to stand behind a pillar on phase 4 but I have gotten lazy and that's why I die on phase 4 lol
This is why you run commando grenades
Usually Fire and Ice bands are better, but I like singularity band on False Son to group up enemies for some big slams
if you've got a good aoe build already, it's not the worst to pick up, but by the time it's useful you don't need it anymore

I hate vand but I like it’s concept so if I end up with blast shower I might pick up vand
Don’t care I like funny purple succ 😎💜
Singularity bands should proc on like 200% damage to make it more useful on survivors who struggle to use the other bands
Void is straigt up downgrade, down pick up, thats all u need to know
