    Thunder Loop changes the behavior of the strikes to shoot two set patterns of strikes in two set rounds of blasts, with a delay between each cycle. It covers more of the screen at regular (7 level-ups) levels, but limit breaks change limits. For fast moving enemies in very large numbers (high curse, 20+ minutes) they can get through the delays between thunder loop's blast. Normally, a 7-level lightning ring also couldn't keep up, but with limit breaks it can fire continuously without interruption, while thunder loop seems to be locked into that delay between firing. Curious that cooldown reduction couldn't scale up to letting thunder loop fire continuously. Until that's changed, thunder loop is gimped in the new world of limit breaks.

      Thunder Loop basically only targets the edges from what I can tell, which means if something gets on top of you, you're dead. It's part of why I really dislike the weapon.

      It is the pause before the second hit that does it in. That pause also feels harder to push down than the basic cooldown. Always felt like thunder loop hit slower than lightning ring. It gets a substantially bigger boost from tragic princess cutting the pause between shots 1 and 2 down to almost 0.

    Fairly certain it /is/ limit break that makes lightning ring so powerful. It's the sheer amount buff you get. Lightning ring scales exceptionally well with amount, since every extra projectile either focuses a boss and stutters, or hits a living mob + AOE. It makes the weapon much safer too, as if everything on the edges dies in said aoe, it's only valid target is any individuals that have slipped through.
    Pritty sure you are right on Thunder Loop being worse since it fires everything in simultaneous bursts rather then sequentially. Yes, the 2nd strike will kill some random enermys, but it also means a lot of things are targeted on the initial strike that would of died to AOE wasting them, lowering the chance of it targeting one that's slipped through AND having the greater time gap between strikes for mobs to get through in the first place. (You might even hit the projectile limit depending on how the lingering circles work)

      I tried that, the issue is that when Curse happens, you always die, and you lose a majority of your revival HP. Then the next Curse comes around and you die again. I think the only way is with drops, but this is also wrong since you need level ups to unlock certain ones (e.g. lvl 5/8/14) to be droppable and that makes it near impossible. The issue is that you only have 3 seconds and then Curse will blast you

    Porta was even my solution when I went to unlock Gyorunton. Silent Old Sanctuary seemed like a must-have for that dank double damage and 40% CDR, although if I didn't need to play Boss Rash on Hyper, I unknowingly made it harder on myself by doing so.

    • @DexTag
      @DexTag  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Porta already has capped out CDR if you keep her at lvl 1, meaning the Game Killer Arcana makes the unlock super easy. Not that you HAVE to do that, it just turns it into a mostly afk method. Clerici and Ambrojoe, as well as some others, also do incredibely well with Game Killer in that

    Yeah thunder loop is just so bad compared to lightning ring.. the delay between the strikes is just way too long and make it impossible to survive late game when you get the curse buff with 300%+ base curse 🥲 and it seems only 1 strike will hit the boss so it took me like 10 times longer to kill the guardians with the Loop than with the Ring 🙅‍♂ Also seems like the CD reduction when moving Arcana had really no effect on the delay for some reason 🤨 maybe there is a minimal delay in the code itself duno

    • @DexTag
      @DexTag  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thunder Loop strikes all hits at once while Lightning Ring does them one after another but very rapidly. If e.g. 5 enemies are in a spot, then Thunder Loop may waste 4 hits on those 5 enemies if it strikes all 5 individually, while Lightning Ring will strike 1 and all 5 dies. This leads to the scenario that Lightning Ring will clear more on the screen and doesn't leave singular enemies behind.
      Just look at times where I kill the Guardian with Lightning Ring and when I attempt it with Thunder Loop, it shows it really well

  • @CottidaeSEA
    @CottidaeSEA 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have only watched for 3 minutes, seems really rough to use as a solo weapon. Curse doesn't seem to be possible at all.
    I also believe focusing on xp gain is potentially worse than aiming for just getting as many kills as possible. Because that's the main issue with the weapon; it doesn't kill nearly enough enemies and fires too infrequently. More kills also means more xp, so it seems like that would be better. Hard to say without actually testing though.
    These videos are really interesting to me, because they really highlight the strengths and weaknesses of different weapons.
    Turns out the above is likely true; however, it stops being relevant after a while.
