Rare blueprints dead cells not showing up series#
Bosses have a set order of blueprint drops, generally ending a series of outfits only obtainable at 1+ BSC, then 2+ BSC, then 3+ BSC, and finally 4+ BSC. Note that for the Always rarity, the majority of drops from bosses are fixed to a specific minimum BSC difficulty, as seen in the table below. Legendary rarity is entirely unrelated to Legendary gear quality. The only effect they actually have in-game (aside from representing the drop chance, of course) is cosmetic: Rare and Legendary blueprint scrolls appear red, and show special "RARE blueprint acquired" text when collected. The rarity names themselves (such as Legendary) are arbitrary.
With Wolf traps and ice effects to slow down enemies I managed to get to the castle before unlocking my first rune, thanks exclusively to that power.Every enemy-dropped blueprint is assigned to one of the following five rarity levels, each of which corresponds to a precise drop chance. In one of my first runs I got a huge energy ball that moved very slowly forward and completely destroyed everything in it´s path. Or using the impaler and rolls to push the enemies against the wall and get criticals. However, I just unlocked the assassin´s blade (critical damage from behind) and the power that teleports you behind an enemy and I´m loving this new way of fighting, with mutations that give me more DPS when surrounded by enemies and such. My prefferred build is using a shield and a heavy sword, with an ice grenade or a turret to help while I parry and attack back. I´m loving this game so much, specially how the different weapons and powers completely change the way you play between attempts.
Now to decide if I farm normal for a few more upgrades or go dive into the start of one-cell. I imagine that balance shifts a bit on the next difficulty up. But that's the rougelike way: some runs you're flush with money, others you're scraping by. Amulets are by far the most profitable drops but rely on encountering elites, which is by no means consistent.
Gold is admittedly something I don't think they have quite right yet, as the jump from + to ++ at the forge gets wildly expensive near end-game and there's not always a reliable means of making cash. There's nothing worse than struggling your way to a merchant only to find a pile of exactly what you don't need and little wiggle room to gamble on a re-roll. Secret best unlock in the game? That "inventory selection" one which lets you decide which category of weapons or skills will spawn when you arrive at a given merchant. I don't like the boss much at all - he's pretty much a greatest hits list of annoyances (spikes, extra enemy mobs, gimmick attacks like the flags, and some obscene scaling on his stats) - but it feels good to get that achievement popping up. I'd fought him five times before that and inevitably I'd either come in glass cannon style with not enough health/reduction and get shoved into the pits, or excessively tank up but totally lack the damage to get him down. Finally figured out the right mix between tankiness and DPS for HoTK, which revolved around a legendary heavy crossbow and very high dmg reduction grenades along with a solid amulet.
