I had a bloom run where I had Eulogy zero, got a white -> lunar printer in sanctuary with a cleansing pool, the stage1 polylute and stage2 shrimp. I got 10 irradiant pearls, then grabbed bloom on stage2. That run made me love bloom, because I already had all the stats white items would provide me to begin with.
Kinda like the idea of bloom multiplying rarer items into common items until I realized that would just be an exponential item gain with the potential of turning reds into multiple whites and back to reds again into even more whites.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 if youre talking only adding items to different categories I guess it could work (leaving out the part where they can all convert to a higher/different rarities because that once again would become perpetual item gain). It also couldve been a cool lunar if it just changed item rarity to any rarity like ego but instead of gaining an ego you sacrifice any item for a different one.
@@pallingtontheshrike6374 also forgot to mention they originally said it should be multiplicative because more more common items would equivalent to less less common items as seen in cauldrons (which makes sense for the hypothetical item in theory)
Shoutouts to the editor one this one! I know the editing's not flashy or anything but condensing a run like this into 30 mins without feeling like we're missing anything is impressive, def one of the big reasons I like watching race vids. Plus GOATed music choices :)
Hey Race, just wanted to say that you inspired me to start my Eclipse grind and just completed eclipse 1 with all characters Love watching your videos for entertainment and learning strategies also I´m starting to learn pot rolling
Mom, can we have a little disciple? We already have little disciple at home Little disciple at home: 16 N'kuhana's + mired urn edit: 33 N'kuhana's my god
Runs where you have items like Benthic and Egocentrism are really interesting IMO for how much your strategies on how to play the game have to change. Whether that's for the better or not is debatable, but it's still interesting nonetheless, and this was a great showcase of it. Also I just checked thunderstore the day after this video came out and someone already modded the balance suggestion chat gave for bloom at 14:00 lol. The mod's called benthiccBloom for anyone interested. Definitely gonna try it myself to see how effective it is.
At the end of the day, the problem with Bloom in the long run is that there are absolutely no red items which can increase movement speed. Otherwise, pick up a disposable missile launcher and a gesture, and you're unstoppable. Even if there was a lunar item which doubled movement speed but halved all damage, it would be fine in the long run.
dude whoever made that umbral mithrix mod is a true gamer also that was an epic showcase of it, it was way too hype, i love the last phase where its just a survival phase perfect final touch to it
10:35 Although Commando can one-shot an enemy, there are some that are just too tough. To combat this, pick up Shattering Justice. After hitting an enemy 5 times, this item will reduce armor by 60 for 8 seconds. Combined with a Soldier's Syringe for Double Tap, you can quickly reduce an enemy's armor.
Thanks for giving me another great morning Race! I love how you're always having fun and sharing interesting quips even when you do something you dislike. I love your content and I'm glad you keep bringing us more of it too!
Fix for N'kuhana's Opinion: Each time you're healed, shoots out a Soul Energy, that deals 10% (+10% per stack) of your HP as percentage base damage. So when you have 1000 HP you deal 100% base dmg each time you get healed. And proc efficient as 1.2, because it's a legendary item, it has no rights to be that bad in game.
hey i love the vids and im curious if you have a vods channel here on youtube or something cause id love to watch the streams but i sadly cant make it to them live(i am aware of vods being directly on twitch but i sometimes like to go back to vods and twitch auto deletes them after a certain time period)

I had a run on drizzle(yes I play on drizzle just to see how far I can go) and had atg's, nukahanas, seeds, both bands and both perforators and whe I launched my spider mine on engi and my game just crashed lol
@@RacesVideos Thank you for the quick reply, wow. I love watching your videos and am currently getting to e8 with all characters. I only have 17 clears left across all characters to achieve this and your channel has inspired me to play this game as much as I have. Thank you!
Probably you remember me i am biznizman from stream on Saturday . I still don’t understand how does the permanent damage work because you were healing from a drone and soda machine.
Basically, only about 40% of the damage is permanent, the rest can be healed. More specifically, every time you take more than 2.5% of your max health in damage in one hit, you gain a stack of "curse" for each full 2.5% of you max health you lost. For example, if you have 1000 health and take 200 damage, that's 20% of your health, so you gain 20/2.5 = 8 stacks of curse. Your max health is then divided by 1+0.01n where n is your current number of curse stacks. So with 1 stack of curse your health is reduced by about 1%, with 50 stacks of curse your health would be reduced by 33%, with 100 stacks of curse your health would be reduced by 50% and so on.
@@RacesVideos Welp more stuff to know so I can get ready to start Eclipse on the most broken version Also does RAP reduce E8 curse as It's less damage taken?
nuka go br
The funny thing is, I had this video playing as a sort of background noise while doing my own run, and I ended up with 3 nukas
Nuke a Hanas
I had a bloom run where I had Eulogy zero, got a white -> lunar printer in sanctuary with a cleansing pool, the stage1 polylute and stage2 shrimp. I got 10 irradiant pearls, then grabbed bloom on stage2. That run made me love bloom, because I already had all the stats white items would provide me to begin with.
You may not like it, but this is the Ideal Risk of Rain 2 run.

shouldn’t be multiplicative, should add one to the stack it picks

That could be a fun challenge if you don't gain items (or far less) like you normally do, and just start with like 5 whites stage 1
just make it so bloomborn items cant be rebloomed

This is truly what it means to play risk of rain 2
I love how whenever he shouts close range the bit rate drops dramatically
When I saw the name of the video, I thought it was a lunar run. I have been pleasantly surprised by a slightly more challenging, well, challenge.
Him abbreviating all the items causes me physical pain
Let it wash over you
Every bloom run becomes N'kuhana's + Aegis + Rejuv Rack
the most powerful items
I like explosions more than the next person, but OW MY RETINAS
me watching as my ice and fire bands get turned into happiest masks
the bpm music is HUGE!
Name?
I mean, benthic and then grab some void items so they corrupt before being upgraded is actually pretty solid
5:35 NO COST TOO GREAT-
Race: I hate benthic
Also Race: Becomes a God with Benthic.
Both of these can be true
You can't make a run with only red items. That's like a breakfast consisting entirely of three glasses of milk.
I feel like to be viable blume has to then upgrade reds to 5 commons, and cycle again. 5 maybe too high but thats the idea
I demand more videos. Once a week is too rarely, i cant wait for more :((
I stream! And have hundreds of vods, you got options :)

I would love a mod that makes bloom also turn reds into whites so they just keep cycling.
keep up the good work man
The average Risk of Rain 2 run
i had 6 harpoons turn into 6 clovers and immediately turn into blooms. so yeah... it does not matter what the item is.
Bloom is so good if you go milky chrysalis and get gesture and transcendence.
What's the mod which lets you spawn with the benthic bloom?
Idk what fathomless voidling is so I wouldn't mind a video where you fight that
Think I might have a vid with it
bro what is that obelisk in the entrance to commencement, it was always there???
What’s the song that’s playing during the mithrix fight? Talking abt his playlist not the actual ror2 mithrix theme
N’kuhana + Wungus = Micro D
Is that vampire survivors chest opening in the thumbnail
I feel like the best survivor for benthic is merc. Some of the reds just feel like they benefit him more than most of the others.
Is that the in game music when you fight mithrix? If not I need a name
Epic gamer music 🎶
Imagine artifact of chaos + 6 behemoths 😂😂
please can anyone tell me what the song at 25:55 is?
its Into Asgard from the game BPM: bullets per minute
Benthic best item no contest
WAIT IS THAT BPM MUSIC I HEAR AT THE END????? OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS GAME????
Can we get this as a race mode!!!!? Would love to see racers try this!
Like for the BPM soundtrack in the end
benthic bloom is top tier and that is a hill i will die on
Nuka should just work like Lil D but instead of Sprinting It's Healing and every stack increases the damage
only on a benthic challenge run could you get opal, soda, repulsion armor, atg, glasses, medkit, mocha and scythe on stage 1
What mithrix mod is that?
I did a shrine of order and it have me attack speed and behemoth with multi nail gun
I love commando and I’m trying to climb eclipse with him but I keep dying from being overwhelmed. Do you have any advice
