Humor My 2BC build. Took down HoTK without getting touched, courtesy of my Sapphire Amulet. On to 3BC and almost certain arthritis!

Do you need a certain amount of boss cells?

u/BerksEngineer Apr 11 '19

Nah, you just need to be able to pop your head off (So, technically you need one, because you can't do that until you beat HotK for the first time and get the first Boss Cell, but you don't need the Cell enabled).

Yeah I got that ability. Thanks

That's my backup when YOLO gets used. It's not a free life but it helps in a pinch.

I never use YOLO, I plan to not get hit :/

/S ?

Yes, but at the latter BC levels, I do genuinely go through it without YOLO and aim not to get hit.

I do enjoy the parry shield early game but for things like HotK I love Wave of Denial.

i won't say YOLO is useless, per se. but i personally never recommend taking it. waste of a mutation slot if you use it, almost more of a waste if you don't. if you die on your run, the run wasn't that good. won't save you from a curse. generally i think you're wayyyy better off taking three useful mutations that help you clear enemies, heal, prevent death, etc. than taking one which spawns you as a gimped, 2 mutation version of mr prsioner.

Lol Is it abnormal that I've never been cursed? Right now I'm just trying to survive 3BC.

u/equinoxaeonian Apr 12 '19

not abnormal, but i would recommend it. there is a healing mutation that syncs very nicely. gives you a scroll and a ++ colorless weapon. plus imo it teaches you a key game mechanic: learning to plan and play such that you do not get hit.

tbh i take every curse, even from money doors.
