Can You Beat Block Tales Without Blocking?

On May 22nd, 2024, I wondered if Block Tales could be beaten without blocking, the core defensive mechanic of the game.
And so, I embarked on a challenge run to answer the question...can you beat Block Tales without blocking?

[@Mario_NoobMemer]

6:23 augh surpreme ant deals 2 you have defense
item+ would be really good against king since it allows bombs to pass the threshold where you can kill the summoned allies in one turn

[@xxcorerozxx9057]

Fun fact, you can use sacrifice when there’s no one in your party to skip your turn and give you SP for it
It’s kind of dumb but hey, it’s something that you can do.

[@peavuh]

the fact that there is ONE enemy that i have lost to which was banished knight on hardmode is something to say the least

[@MrKraziWert]

Yeah, same. 12 damage is fucking insane.

[@Sinclaires]

Just block em and don't forget to use safeguard pretty sure it's vital for hardmode

Solo without blocking is like playing old Minecraft without shield, you go for it by finding out the enemy strategic or attack pattern and then outskill them
Btw can you make video about boss and their weakness? (beside blocking).
For example : Sentient Statue is Glue, Supreme Ant is Fire Effect and more.

[@angelor.delemos30]

I was waiting for this to happen

[@lancecruz74]

Welcome to Block tales!!!
Wait you dont need to block?
Welcome to “Tales!!!”

[@spikeytortle595]

I remember trying to beat cruel king with like 2 other people in a party. It was so hard because one of us had the hard mode card and it took us like 20 mins to beat him
I kept laughing my ass of because the guy that had hard mode and the ice dagger kept dying and I kept having to revive him

[@Zekellus]

There's actually 2 in iron cafe, next to the truss on the left

[@viniciusgameplays8764]

I just beat the entire game on hard mode, this is another level

[@thingdental7769]

Jim can eat the rocks i guess, hes probably fine

[@sourcingaround]

do it without combos (like the ball ricochet)

[@_y4020]

Skill-less Block Tales. No action commands allowed. Fireball becomes meta. This is insane.

[@Greg_Pilgrim]

The game has gotten so popular though there aren't any animations yet

[@MisMatch1234]

I think the finally question should be: can you beat chapter one block tales without blocking (cause it is only chapter one)

[@BirdMom0]

There’s actually 2 bux in the iron cafe! Where you just climbed up there is one on that side.

[@cubsub]

bro missed out on the whole pizza item (go back to roadtown after freeing jim and talk to him, the pizza regens 50 or 40 hp)

[@xxcorerozxx9057]

I actually played the entire game with hard-core on and I’m currently doing the pit and funny enough, I’m not even using defender. The pain is unimaginable

[@randomdud7733]

Why?

[@mashingsumpotaters]

its called BLOCK tales for a reason

[@carsondockery9198]

Now try it with just dynamite, and use cards that remove ball and sword too. You can use dynamite and also counter attacks as ur first form of damage

[@ojjjhc1020]

i am making a very similar video where i complete the game (including the pit) without attacking do you have any advice on where to edit the video after i have finished recording it?

bruh on my first play through i never knew there was a "blocking"

[@zinogoop1544]

Quick question: why are all the enemies i fight blocking all of my hits no matter what i use? Like the only way i can deal damage to enemies is by hitting that second ball attack or using dynamite

[@littlebadassgaming]

When you mean blocking, do you mean pressing space to guard against attacks, or, guarding pre-emptively?
edit: nvm am dumb

[@blockintime9047]

- hi, speedrunner here -
honestly you could probably beat the game without getting hit
would recommend watching any% for any boss strats
using bombs are VERY important, also apple pie!
as for the dodging bit?
just get gud, skrub!

[@TacticalCodes]

i think you missed the point of the video

[@blockintime9047]

yeah think I did

[@trickygamer555]

Considering I did it with no blocking and failing every attack's input
Yes. But 4 statues takes some VERY specific badges. Biggest help is guard+ but defender and defend+ are good too, but more expensive
(Still didn't cost any pies or pizza or whatever lmao)

[@AverageNoob2023]

Jim actually gives you a good item, the whole pizza, which restores 10 health if I’m correct. so killing him will only give you the achievement

[@YourAverageNormalBattler]

it no restore you to 10 hp
thats low for a literal whole pizza

ending:
can you...?

short question: yes. however this is extremely hard or nearly impossible

now do it on hard mode because this normally should be pretty easy for someone to do

[@progamerbasdV3]

1 damage that so good💀

[@Charlotte_Steambird]

i wanna know, how do you use ice dagger and get SE or NRG?
also how do you get different animations

[@user-mc9es6tw5g]

You get SE from focusing (in the strategy menu in battle) or passively. once the bar fills up that means you have an NRG
animations are effected by your menu flavor

[@_y4020]

Sword Energy (SE as you say) and NRG mean the same thing. After beating Chapter 1, you gain the Ice Dagger and the ability to get up to 1 NRG in-battle.
The exact amounts of NRG you get are:
0.5 for focusing
0.2 per each enemy attack
This means if you are fighting 3 or 4 enemies, they will fill up your NRG by simply attacking twice, which is useful for Floor 19.
