as newcomer to the game I have become addicted on huntress runs, I have eight survivors unlocked, but so far I only barely tried anything else than huntress. I had one run where I had sooo great items and I almost one shot everything....but then I just got too confident and literaly stopped in front of beetle queen and she killed me in second :D
omg happens every. fkin. time! today I had 4 medbots, med kits, bajillion health, feel like nothing can touch me, i stop franticly running and blinking for ONE SECOND and something instagibs me D:
Just started playing her and on my 7th-8th run beat all the bosses. Had no idea what i was doing but triple jump and the jump higher made the last boss easy. Instant love when i saw this. Now i know how to build her so this is exciting lol
Ive just started playing the game a few days ago and i found this really helpful. i will be checking other guides as i learn more characters. Thank you so much :)
Nah, it happens for a bit different reason. It applies "zero gravity" to you for a casting animation duration, and so if you activate it on ground and press jump key, you'll "float" upwards a moderate distance
If you're using the alternate Phase Blink, I highly suggest trying out Purity with it. I know, procs are extremely important for DPS and Purity kinda ruins them, but if you go a more Bleed focused build and/or you get capped crit chance (since Purity won't matter for guaranteed effects like capped crit), then with Purity and Phase Blink you get a 0.5s cd on the blink, so you can blink almost indefinitely. Coupled with the fact that you don't lose height with Phase Blink means you can also juggle yourself in the air continuously between the blinks not losing height and you gaining height from the special ability.
Wanna add with the tips, spamming glaive late game can be really risky in some scenarios because of how it forces you to effectively stay still for a second or so. Especially with lots of wisps and brass contraptions around, they can sometimes put you down or heavily damage you before you’ve thrown the glaive fully and are back to being mobile
I have different view on the flurry tho. Dps wise, flurry sucks in the early game. But you only need 3 glasses to par with Stafe. Also, if you calculate the proc chance per sec, Flurry is way better since your dps is heavily based on your proc chance, especially in the mid and late game. Unless you are doing a 10 min speed run or something, Flurry is always better than Strafe.
MUL-T buzzsaw can be used while sprinting but you have to be revving first then sprinting, and you can also attack with the saw while using his transport ability
hunter's mask is really good for huntress because each bolt fired in a crit flurry can increase the attack speed buff count, meaning crits equal more faster crits. (to specify each of the bolts of crit flurry counts as a individual crit meaning that every bolt increases your attack speed up to the granted buff amount.)
It really bothered me not seeing predatory instincs being mentioned for Flurry. If you were to have 5 instincts and fire 2 crits in a row, your fire rate would have already doubled. Of course you need to get the masks first, but a single crit can procc 3 predatory instincts in a single shot, excluding the first one that gives 3 stacks. Overall that is a fire rate increase of +60% per crit, which is extremly powerful for Flurry. With a such a high fire rate it also synergieses well with proccing items like bleed, stun or stickies... literally anything, eventhough Flurry has a 0.7 procc-coefficient.
@@blackblade99009 It sure is fun on artifact of command. Stacking a shit ton of soldiers syringes, predatory instincts with 101% crit chance. Sure was fun getting 200 predatory instincts once, although it reached 130 stacks at best, because the fire rate simply couldn't keep up with the timer.
@@baumpaladin honestly if I am playing flurry huntress on command I don't even pick up syringes. Since I will get so many pred instinct anyway I just get crit, bullets, crowbars, stickies, bleed, and depending if I am feeling squishy a few armor plates. (And teddies but that is safety instead of squish prevention.)
Captain can also charge his shot while running, you need to start charging before sprinting so you can spaz someone in the face with a fully charged shot.
Hey, great video. What's the name of the song used between about 2:30 - 9:00? I can't remember where I've heard it before, but I like this remix. (I think it's a remix)
For flurry, it's 3 arrows at .7 proc chance vs strafe's 2 at 1.0 proc chance. On average you're going to activate more effects from items with flurry, no? Wouldn't this alone make flurry a better choice since that means it scales better overall, especially if you can build up crit?
11:12 - 11:20 “Sticky keys” I haven’t thought about sticky keys in a long time. I mean fair point, that would be annoying. But just make sure to turn it off. Takes only a few seconds.
I prefer flurry just because of the downtime between shots making it easier to maintain sprint and move where you want, cause you can look away from enemies after you shoot. Its so good for quality of life, that I don't really care about the dmg loss.
I don't like to play in default mode because you are very depends on items. But i found how to make this insanely hard even when u able to choose the items. There is a list of artifacts you need: Artifact of Command - (you can make your own builds), Artifact of Evolution (much harder in late game), Artifact of Frailty (you don't want to fall off a cliff), and the hardest one is - Artifact of Honor (all enemies will have MUCH more hp and damage, also some cool stuff like ignite you on hit, or freeze) This makes game much harder than default mode, and you wont depend on items you getting. Only pure skill. Good luck everyone who want try it, this is truly next difficult i called "Thunderstorm"
great vid, but one mistake. The healing of Harvesters is multiplied by proc coefficient, so only 3.5*6 hp per stack per crit for flurry. Still insane item for monsoon tho
Hey can you do a guide like this with engineer ☺️ I wouldn't mind if you need to take time to fully grasp the class I'll be learning right along with you but with your generally better knowledge than me I somewhat expect you to find some great new things in this version of the game.
Even being one year late to the show, but doesn't flurry also stack better with atk speed because of the shorter animation time? I think there was a video that showcased something like this.
Bro youtubers need to stop with asking ppl to sub bc ppl watching aren't subbed. What that statistic means is that the algorithm is pushing your content to new viewers. Asking these new ppl to sub before they even know if they like the content is a waste of time. If people like they'll subscribe.
md i discorved that artificer can freeze mithrix with nano spear today or my game glitched so wouldn't magazines be super super useful for her nd ss since they speed up animation also
The wall also freezes him if you use it on him while he's walking (ie not charging at you, in the hammer animation or doing revolving door shenanigans)
Also Arrow Rain makes you so vulnerable when there is so much range ennemies and you are like a UFO staying seconds in the air trying to aim your so little proc coef AOE while Ballista is good for dodging, not touching every arrows is sad but not really a problem since one hit is enough for your rings to proc so you can shot fast and keep running and see this thick ... feet rotation.
You shouldn’t stay in the air for seconds though? You should use it for either movement to give you a little extra boost upwards Or you use it as a dodge when your about to be hit by range such as a stone golem plus 90% of the time you just need to hit a general area at the enemy you dont need to actually hit with rain

Laser glave actually gives a bit of upward momentum. If you have attack speed and mags you notice it will start throwing you up in the air

Especially with lots of wisps and brass contraptions around, they can sometimes put you down or heavily damage you before you’ve thrown the glaive fully and are back to being mobile
Ulti is always more risky than m2 since you still kinda move while using your M2
When I was tryna unlock the skin for Huntress she truly was double cheeked up this thumbnail has shown me things I didn't expect to see
How do huntress mains play with one hand
Because they have 2 eyes, one to keep track of the enemies and her assets. Yes every huntress main is able to control both eyes separately
I have different view on the flurry tho.
Dps wise, flurry sucks in the early game.

proc chance is actually weaker with base flurry. it was on the wiki but the wording was confusing so i didnt include it
also crit flurry is red so its better
MUL-T buzzsaw can be used while sprinting but you have to be revving first then sprinting, and you can also attack with the saw while using his transport ability
ye true

Captain can also charge his shot while running, you need to start charging before sprinting so you can spaz someone in the face with a fully charged shot.
“Not enough art to quell the thirst”
cant play huntress normally without my eyes "wandering"

Also recommend soldiers syringe when running flurry because having extra attack speed is always nice

Harvester's scythe won't heal 8x6 on a crit, since the heal it gives sclaes off proc coefficient, it'll heal for (8x0,6)x6

Mercenary’s primary is also agile (i think)
md i discorved that artificer can freeze mithrix with nano spear today or my game glitched so wouldn't magazines be super super useful for her nd ss since they speed up animation also

The wall also freezes him if you use it on him while he's walking (ie not charging at you, in the hammer animation or doing revolving door shenanigans)
She should of got a javelin secondary alternative to be a single target secondary aswell
how do you get that dps meter in the top left? it seems useful
Huntress's primary feels like a peashooter but it's actually not that bad.
Also Arrow Rain makes you so vulnerable when there is so much range ennemies and you are like a UFO staying seconds in the air trying to aim your so little proc coef AOE while Ballista is good for dodging, not touching every arrows is sad but not really a problem since one hit is enough for your rings to proc so you can shot fast and keep running and see this thick ... feet rotation.
You shouldn’t stay in the air for seconds though?
You should use it for either movement to give you a little extra boost upwards
Or you use it as a dodge when your about to be hit by range such as a stone golem plus 90% of the time you just need to hit a general area at the enemy you dont need to actually hit with rain
