Tip:when playing spectre don't move and shoot too much,your stealth mode is incredibly powerful if you focus on large shots(that aren't based on charged shot because it deactivates stealth)and low movement,because stealth makes enemies ignore you.Also salvo is the best weapon for spectre,since it scales while you dont shoot for some really big shot with the 200% stealth damage and you don't even have to move because they missiles track your enemies meaning you can shoot and Immediately go back to stealth
@@kingofthejungle5338 well, first few. The whole thing is firing the weapon constantly so it's gonna rapidly diminish. You can kinda stretch it combinig rockets via singular strike but that's about it
Really cool mathematical tidbit: the map for games like this is analogous to the surface of a donut. If you wanted to model this game's universe as the surface of a solid, you'd want to connect the left and right edges into a cylinder. Then, wrapping the top round edge of the cylinder to the bottom edge, you'd have a donut shape!
Few tips, just since I know how much you love optimization/minmaxing builds in games like these :> 1) With spectre, it's super beneficial to wait for the cloak to reactivate between shots, since it gives +250% weapon damage at full cloak. 2) That "Eclipse" enemy (the one with the shield around it at the 3 minute mark) has a bunch of sections to it, which is why you were seeing the health bar go down so oddly-- you were just damaging its individual sections. The tiny circle in the middle of it is actually its core, so you can kill the entire thing all at once just by destroying that one piece. The same goes for the "Snapper" enemies (the ones that lunge you and try to chomp you in their jaws). 3) Unfortunately Charged Shot actually removes your cloak while you're charging up, which actually becomes a net negative unless you charge for so long that it outdoes the damage bonus from cloaking (around 4 seconds from my personal testing lol, but you also have the downside of no longer being invisible to enemies while charging). It also has the downside of "wearing off" very quickly after you release the shot, which means the first shot in a burst will have the full charge, and each consecutive shot in the burst has less and less power. Fairly sure charging your shot also cancels out the regen bonus while not firing that you get from Efficiency. 4) Contrary to the charge/cloak+efficiency anti-synergy, charging your shot actually *does* synergize well with Calibrate-- you still get the bonuses from Calibrate regardless of how long you charge your shot for.
33:32 "Two bosses at the same time" Neither of those are bosses. That's a champion bulwark and a champion juggernaut. The only bosses currently are Spitfire at wave 20, Station Omega at wave 40, Scion at wave 60, Warbringer at wave 80, and Seraph at wave 100.
The first vid he does is the only sponsorship vid for this game, this one and the last is done because he is enjoying it and it got views, just like he said in the last video of nova drift.
He usually doesn't take sponsorships unless he himself enjoys the game. I can't really think of other examples of the top of my head, but I think Bad North was sponsored.
I’ve found that the specter body blends so well with the rocket silo weapon, it’s maybe not the most powerful but dang is it fun to shoot off hundreds of rockets at once with almost no worry about being hit while charging.
one thing to note is the spectre damage buff only works for the first few rockets, at least i’m pretty sure it does, however this can be bypassed with things that shoot without technically “shooting” such as outrage module or death blossom or mines
Quick tip : I played this build and Ivan confirm that it was fun. But you could have taken the "calibrate" upgrade, it doesn't reset while charging shots. The result is a screen wiper weapon, because instead of going everywhere, your projectiles are all packed up the place you click, it helps a lot against bosses and don't have throwback against weak enemies : you could just ignore the calibration thingy
Dying Star + Hidden Power + Apotheosis is damn great on the firefly body. Add in rapid regeneration and burn damage buffs, and you just melt everything you touch. I call it the Blazing Comet.
in case you're wondering. that pink boss enemy with spnning orbs, always summons a singularity in that spinning attack. its no coincidence it keeps appearing. it is the bosses attack.
Tips: (these are mostly for higher difficulties, as easier modes you can force whatever you want) -Salvo is by far the best weapon in the game, as it heavily synergizes with the calibrate charge shot combo -Tank mods are usually a free take, as they are almost never incompatible with a build (the same goes for “thorns” effects) -it’s not worth trying to one cycle boss 2 (big donut man) -some weapons do not do enough damage early game to be pickable (railgun, vortex, and 50/50 on dart) -halo is the best early game shield
whether or not charging counts as firing seems to be a toss up dependent on the feature. Calibration does work with charging, but charging doesn't seem to work with stealth
Super mods are INSANE. Things like Warp Strike for screen wrap shenanigans Antimatter rounds for huge boss kills Dying star for insane burn damage Barrage for MAX DAKKA And Leaf on the Wind, for when you want to turn a glass cannon into a paper planet buster
Dying star + hidden power + apotheosis is damn great on the firefly body. Add in rapid regeneration and burn damage buffs, and you just melt everything you touch.
I think you'd love a singular strike spectre, use predator from popular builds in the Nova Strike wiki. Optionally add warp strike. Also you can use the rocks to shoot through them at the enemies for TONS of damage
Calibrate has excellent synergy with Charged Shot, since charging does not stop your weapon calibrating. It also has great synergy with Spectre builds since it not only adds more damage, but increases homing (which is great if you have to sit still to gain stealth damage.) However, do note that Charged shot actually has anti-synergy with Spectre builds since it cancels stealth while charging. Some other entertaining strategies to try: Interceptor Allies are powerful and fun. They fire whatever weapon you have, multiplying your damage output. Engineer body lets you have two of them, Overseer mod lets you have 3 but you can't fire your own weapon. Siphon Shield and Shielded Constructs lets you have an army of life-sucking allies which can be hilarious, but it doesn't scale to late game as well since you have to focus on upgrading constructs and shields.
The thing with burst fire (as well as just holding the fire button) is that it still counts as firing until you're able to fire again, so you need to manually wait for non firing buffs to take effect. The same goes for entering stealth.
Just as a thing with stabilisation… the stabilisation that you’re feeling is just placebo, cause you need to activate it manually (by pressing s or down arrow)
Tyler: has a ton of rerolls Also Tyler: let me try this upgrade that doesn't sound like it'll help much Jokes aside, I like this game a lot, cool to see you also enjoy it! :)
I do that too. I have like 20 rerolls but never use them because I'm experimenting with my choices and testing the mods with mentality like: what this will do to my current loadout? :D
I got this game because I saw it on your channel and I've been loving it ever since! Thanks to you I knew how to play immediately and could get right into the fun
Architect with loaded mines (especially charged mines) is just awesome. Take thermal lance, and you just get a spinning 5-7 pointed star of death that covers practically the entire screen.
If you want an interesting build to try: Blade Weapon, Spectre Body, and Shielded Constructs down the line. The blade counts as a construct, meaning you have a throwable shield, and firing it only removes your spectre cloak for a brief moment, significantly upping your damage as long as you're not moving too quickly. Just don't take burst fire, as it will stealth buff fewer shots.
Although you are correct about higher scores being more fun, as long as you go decently long (20+ min) any build can be fun to watch even if it runs into problems later. Some builds can be very wacky/interesting even if they don’t do super well (super speedy build, no moving build etc)
streaming your videos seems like a good idea for any game. It would be like a normal recording session unless you want to talk to/read the chat, and people who want to watch all of your content, can. Personally, I see no flaws whatsoever about streaming all recording sessions then picking out the interesting bits like you would in a normal recording session. The only possible thing I can imagine is a low bit rate, so idk if that's a problem or not
Some builds I personally would like to see: -Stupidly big and strong grenades -Thermal lance + constructs (ally which uses your weapon and assists you, mines which use your weapon and so on) -Attacking using exclusively shield -Dying star super mod(a bit more challenging) -Torrent+single shot -Fastest possible firerate
I highly recommend that barrage upgrade that you unlocked. I used it and got over a million score it diffidently is a very op and fun upgrade with pretty much any weapon
31:19 I think that charging the weapon counts as "firing", as you can see that the shield regen slows down as he's charging up the weapon. Could anyone clarify it tho, since I'm not too sure if charging does count as firing or not.
it does but not for calibrate, calibrate works while charging which is weird because most other things don’t work while charging e.g spectre stealth and efficiently
Fun build: Blade weapon Orbit Shield Engineer ship Maximise your drone count and projectile count. Give your drones your shields Pew pew pew 1 shot things with you're army of blade shooters that have damage orbs around them
Great video! I love this game and I'll be waiting for more of it on your channel. Also waiting for Assault + Flak + Fusillade + Barrage. I hope you will continue enjoying this great game :)
Interestingly, while charging doesn't let you cloak, it does still let you calibrate. If you picked up calibration, the extra velocity, damage, and accuracy would've made your build thrash real good. Also, next time you take charge with a bunch of double taps, take siege weaponry as well. Siege weaponry will rack up your fire rate as you charge, and in most cases will eliminate the firing delay between shots. Charge-Burst-Siege is a very powerful combination, and I like to call it the CBS synergy.
I would like to note that taking homing with railgun is always a bad idea, because of a few reasons 1) most homing mods reduce your projectile speed, making the homing more effective 2) railgun's damage directly correlates to it's projectile speed, so losing projectile speed is basically losing damage 3) homing does not have that much of an effect on railgun anyways, because the railgun's projectile speed is super high even with the penalty from the homing mods regardless, very fun video to watch! keep it up
Railgun does turn faster than you'd expect for the listed targeting, though. The first targeting mod is 12 degrees per second, and yet, it's still fairly good. The last one is also a fair trade off, adding another 12°/s, but the one that's 24°/s at -20% projectile speed would hurt a fair bit. Still, with a bunch of projectiles, it certainly helps to have at least half of them reliably hit from across the map.
Here's an idea for a self-imposed challenge: Not take any gear swaps (you can decline the "forced" gear swaps). Basically the only gear you can use is the default gear.
Cant wait to see what you do on your next video, may I suggest you try out the grenade weapon? I used it before and it was really good, though a little tough in the early game Also games super fun, got it cause your gameplay looked awesome
To be honest I wouldn't particularly mind just seeing a bunch of "failed" runs every once in a while, maybe in a compilation of sorts or something alike!
Sucks to have your run ending to a stray astroid. Managed to breach 1 million point high score with the Architect ship using a mine build a few days ago. It was pretty fun.
Yeah, it’s quite unfortunate. I understand it though, a max cloak charged shot would be way too powerful. Even charged shot on its own is one of the best, if not the best, upgrades in the game.
@@jeezuhskriste5759 Would be interesting to see if they add in super mods that require bodies and certain guns with mods, for example in this case something that would allow you to charge while cloaked with some kind of drawback. Seeing something like if you had the leviathan all your segments would shoot at reduced damage or your segments could break off like small drones would be really interesting
@@tongers9188That would be cool. I always wanted super mods that required other super mods. Like an upgrade to the Thermal Lance that focuses the power of Dying Star into it.
Watching it more, this game kinda reminds me of Ring Runner (which is this other game on steam). It's not a rougelike, but it's got sorta similar space shooter mechanics and a shit-ton of abilities and upgrades to chose from. _It's also criminally underrated IMO_
you should try engineer body + blades + orb shield (forgot name) + fusillade + shielded constructs + gemini protocol. It can oneshot almost any enemy in the game.
hey aliensrock, just wanted to give a few pointers on your build and how to improve it - i dont want to backseat or spoil the game for you so dont keep reading if you dont want advice on synergies charged shot on spectre isnt too great-starting the charge decloaks you, so you never benefit from the damage bonus unless you fire without charging whatsoever, however it still can be helpful as a purely defensive option calibrate would still let you calibrate your shot while charging, which is a huge damage bonus on railgun due to how it scales with velocity fullisade's downsides don't cancel out it's upsides for railgun - its usually better to just stop at volley for projectile increases and maybe take a few twin strikes instead if you have the super mod unlocked, warp strike is incredibly powerful with railgun. due to its very high projectile lifetime, your shots are guaranteed to get the full value out of warp strike. the downside of the heavy self-damage is really not that bad once you get used to it too. on this build, you would have been far more mobile if you took power reserves, as it reduces the mobility decrease you suffer from charged shot in general, its a pretty terrible idea to go antimatter rounds on a build with such high burst and projectile count, as its self damage increases with it. it would probably have been a better idea to either forgo some burst/proj count, or not take antimatter, as you would have lived if your hull wasnt already very damaged from the self-damage. you also did not have very good regeneration, which contributed to this issue taking siege weaponry on these kinds of builds is hilarious - due to how charged shot scales with rate of fire, and how siege gives ramping rate of fire as you charge, it essentially makes your charged shot INCREDIBLY powerful at the cost of taking self damage while charging. i'd heavily recommend trying this build again with siege weaponry, rapid reconstruction (to help with the high self damage that siege would cause), assault body (generally the most powerful charged shot body), warp strike, antimatter rounds, calibrate, and stopping at volley instead of taking fullisade loving the videos! i really hope you make more
I wanna see him attempt a vortex run lol. At least for me that was what warped my perception of what was possible in this game. Also I wish he would have looked at the super mod on calibrate, its not great for this build but it does make it work.
Hey man, you gotta try blade + engineer + shields on constructs with any offensive shield. Your blades apply shield effect to enemies and it is quite hilarious. Drones work well as a defence mechanism since they als have shield too.
You should try what lies in the multiverse, it's a puzzle platformer where you go between multiverses + I've gotten multiple ads for it on your videos, so it must be a sign. It is being released in ten days and has a demo so you can try it.
The fact he doesn't realize that enemy boss CREATES Singularities is a little frustrating, hah. Also, charge and calibrate synergize! Also also, projectile spread is bad with multiple shots, so focus reducing it, not just get homing!
there's a leviathan build that's a further upgrade to the first ramming build you did, i think it's a different body and you become like a death snake. 🐍
I'm not sure if he's unlocked it yet, but dart is hilarious if you get a bunch. I had a 9 projectile 9 burst run a few days ago, and nothing is funnier than just stabbing a boss 81 times every few seconds.
Tip:when playing spectre don't move and shoot too much,your stealth mode is incredibly powerful if you focus on large shots(that aren't based on charged shot because it deactivates stealth)and low movement,because stealth makes enemies ignore you.Also salvo is the best weapon for spectre,since it scales while you dont shoot for some really big shot with the 200% stealth damage and you don't even have to move because they missiles track your enemies meaning you can shoot and Immediately go back to stealth
I think specter is just a "oh shit" Button and then the enemies doesn't even know you exist
Salvo is the worst as you'd only get boost for first missile tho
@@TheArQu huh? that's how it works? that's so bad!
@@kingofthejungle5338 well, first few. The whole thing is firing the weapon constantly so it's gonna rapidly diminish. You can kinda stretch it combinig rockets via singular strike but that's about it
@@TheArQu fax but I would still say it’s crazy good especially for a couple really strong enemy’s instead of a lot of weaker ones

TH-cam Tyler is so much smarter than Twitch Tyler
@@supersonictumbleweed the power of editing
Tip: Calibrate does not interfere with charged shot, the two upgrades are an extremely good combination!
It's a bit confusing though cause charging interferes with cloaking, which has similar wording.
@@Leadvest Yeah I mean calibrate as in the upgrade, someone already mentioned cloaking and charge shot being a bad combination.
@@yaboyender6596 Yeah, one of those things where you have to experiment cause the tooltip doesn't have the information.

Few tips, just since I know how much you love optimization/minmaxing builds in games like these :>
1) With spectre, it's super beneficial to wait for the cloak to reactivate between shots, since it gives +250% weapon damage at full cloak.
2) That "Eclipse" enemy (the one with the shield around it at the 3 minute mark) has a bunch of sections to it, which is why you were seeing the health bar go down so oddly-- you were just damaging its individual sections. The tiny circle in the middle of it is actually its core, so you can kill the entire thing all at once just by destroying that one piece. The same goes for the "Snapper" enemies (the ones that lunge you and try to chomp you in their jaws).

If you have it unlocked, a fun combo is the mortar super mod with high level grenades. It works best with architect or engineer.
Architect with loaded mines (especially charged mines) is just awesome. Take thermal lance, and you just get a spinning 5-7 pointed star of death that covers practically the entire screen.

However, you'll probably want decent regen if you intend to use it for more than a few seconds at a time
Sucks to have your run ending to a stray astroid.
Managed to breach 1 million point high score with the Architect ship using a mine build a few days ago. It was pretty fun.
I fell in love with so many new games just by watching tyler.
Thanks Tyler 💙
aliensrock: uploads a video that ends with a very exiting character being unlocked
also aliensrock: uploads a video about another game
me: **dies**
just a note that charging removes your cloaking, which sucks because charging and cloak work together for big one shots, but yea
Yeah, it’s quite unfortunate. I understand it though, a max cloak charged shot would be way too powerful. Even charged shot on its own is one of the best, if not the best, upgrades in the game.
@@jeezuhskriste5759 Would be interesting to see if they add in super mods that require bodies and certain guns with mods, for example in this case something that would allow you to charge while cloaked with some kind of drawback. Seeing something like if you had the leviathan all your segments would shoot at reduced damage or your segments could break off like small drones would be really interesting
@@tongers9188That would be cool. I always wanted super mods that required other super mods. Like an upgrade to the Thermal Lance that focuses the power of Dying Star into it.
Watching it more, this game kinda reminds me of Ring Runner (which is this other game on steam). It's not a rougelike, but it's got sorta similar space shooter mechanics and a shit-ton of abilities and upgrades to chose from.
_It's also criminally underrated IMO_
defo keen for more of these!
A fun strat is triple shot with added projectiles plus homing shots
you should try engineer body + blades + orb shield (forgot name) + fusillade + shielded constructs + gemini protocol. It can oneshot almost any enemy in the game.
hey aliensrock, just wanted to give a few pointers on your build and how to improve it - i dont want to backseat or spoil the game for you so dont keep reading if you dont want advice on synergies
charged shot on spectre isnt too great-starting the charge decloaks you, so you never benefit from the damage bonus unless you fire without charging whatsoever, however it still can be helpful as a purely defensive option
calibrate would still let you calibrate your shot while charging, which is a huge damage bonus on railgun due to how it scales with velocity
fullisade's downsides don't cancel out it's upsides for railgun - its usually better to just stop at volley for projectile increases and maybe take a few twin strikes instead
if you have the super mod unlocked, warp strike is incredibly powerful with railgun. due to its very high projectile lifetime, your shots are guaranteed to get the full value out of warp strike. the downside of the heavy self-damage is really not that bad once you get used to it too.
on this build, you would have been far more mobile if you took power reserves, as it reduces the mobility decrease you suffer from charged shot
in general, its a pretty terrible idea to go antimatter rounds on a build with such high burst and projectile count, as its self damage increases with it. it would probably have been a better idea to either forgo some burst/proj count, or not take antimatter, as you would have lived if your hull wasnt already very damaged from the self-damage. you also did not have very good regeneration, which contributed to this issue
taking siege weaponry on these kinds of builds is hilarious - due to how charged shot scales with rate of fire, and how siege gives ramping rate of fire as you charge, it essentially makes your charged shot INCREDIBLY powerful at the cost of taking self damage while charging. i'd heavily recommend trying this build again with siege weaponry, rapid reconstruction (to help with the high self damage that siege would cause), assault body (generally the most powerful charged shot body), warp strike, antimatter rounds, calibrate, and stopping at volley instead of taking fullisade
loving the videos! i really hope you make more
Yes good to see this game is doing good on your channel 😎
Nice ! Can’t wait to see more of that game !
You definetily should stream this game! Ive been missing the streams recently.
Loving the Nova Drift!
Have you ever tried Crying Suns? I feel like you would like it. Lots of replay value too
Double the video double the views, he's 2 moves ahead of the TH-cam meta
melee builds with hullbreaker and lots of resistance at first are the key to getting to 500k points.
I wanna see him attempt a vortex run lol. At least for me that was what warped my perception of what was possible in this game. Also I wish he would have looked at the super mod on calibrate, its not great for this build but it does make it work.
Yeah, I just recently got a high score of 1.2 MILLION, smashing my previous record by over 6x using Vortex weapon and Firefly body
Hey man, you gotta try blade + engineer + shields on constructs with any offensive shield. Your blades apply shield effect to enemies and it is quite hilarious. Drones work well as a defence mechanism since they als have shield too.
the most accurate description of this game we've seen is calling it "Asteroids but it's an action RPG", lol
50/50 chance my comment is going into the void together with this video
these videos keep me on the edge of my seat!
Such a good game will gladly watch this on stream with som commentating from you
i really like watching this game alot
30:00 billion projectile fire is barrage + that 3 shot thing lol
One of the few!
Double Upload, but it’s the same game. And video
fun fact:
you can make cluster recursive cluster in the game
good luck finding the synergy :)
Double upload pro?
Loving the build strategy, would love to see your take on path of exile
You should try what lies in the multiverse, it's a puzzle platformer where you go between multiverses + I've gotten multiple ads for it on your videos, so it must be a sign. It is being released in ten days and has a demo so you can try it.
The fact he doesn't realize that enemy boss CREATES Singularities is a little frustrating, hah. Also, charge and calibrate synergize! Also also, projectile spread is bad with multiple shots, so focus reducing it, not just get homing!
there's a leviathan build that's a further upgrade to the first ramming build you did, i think it's a different body and you become like a death snake. 🐍
I’d recommend a different weapon for a many-projectiles build; your weapon velocity isn’t helping much. Glad to see someone else on this game!
I'm not sure if he's unlocked it yet, but dart is hilarious if you get a bunch. I had a 9 projectile 9 burst run a few days ago, and nothing is funnier than just stabbing a boss 81 times every few seconds.
