I just took two rangers. One was spamming 2mp abilities on the other one, she was catching them and shooting 6-10 attacks a turn. Moon turned out to be a breeze - first time I went there and already a successful run on hard path.

Feels good. Also got several cats with good mutations to breed.

Hardest boss in the first two acts. The dodging is bad enough but a neat gimmick, but the possession is fucking insane.

In fact, all the hardest enemies I've faced so far have some charm or possession gimmick. That shit is scarier than insta-kills.

What am I doing wrong with breeding? From the guides I saw you need to have two cats in a high stimulation room with distinct 7 stats and wait until they produce a kitten that has all 7s from parents. I'm doing this but the problem is that this kitten never shows up, the parents never have sex even if they are both straight high libido of opposing genders. Eventually they die of old age without ever producing a kitten. What can I do in this situation to avoid this?

Monk has three focuses
>style switching
>armor stacking
>no items
he relies on bruised do deal his damage, mostly and he comes with a couple of very juicy DBZ and Street Fighter abilities.
He synergizes very well with physical damage dealers and classes that can buff him
my favorite build is the unarmored monk because he's consistently strong and independent of items so he's very reliable.
there's overall very few bad moves in his movepool.
His disadvantages are that he can't use consumables and weapons and that his base speed and mobility is not that great.

Marking is iffy, I thought vengeful+ would work on him since it's supposed to auto-mark him if he attacks, but it didn't. I wasn't paying too much attention IIRC but he simply refused to be marked, which was the only reason I grabbed vengeful+ in that run. NTA either, I've only fought Dybukk the one time

>>733613375
He is crazy gear dependent in my experience. I wouldn't ever send him into a run naked. Probably his best passive to start out with is the one that lets you hone your held weapon, and then start him out with something with aoe or multihits and it'll never run out. He can hard carry a run with that (At least to the end of act 2, I haven't played far into act 3 yet). You can also do some stupid shit with the passive that doubles the effect of your armor slots (and weapons when upgraded).

I wonder, does the in-game world work off of Dark Souls rules where the named cats that you kill come back to life somehow after dying, or is only your first run of each area "canonical"?
They cant really play off the deaths of specific cats as "knocking them out" or whatever since you can blow their corpse up lol

One anon in a previous thread tried to test this and found it to be bunk and from experience, I would agree.
There are runs where you get a bad event after the first fight and other runs where you don't seem to get any or only the mildest no matter how you're doing
>>
>>733613879
I figured this was the case. Also explains why Act 1 and 2 get harder when you advance in later acts.

Honestly, the zombie guy giving my cat feline aids was the only time it REALLY crippled a run for me. Consequently I walked away from him every time he showed up, I'm sure he has some kind of reward if you guess right, but I don't go risk a good cat for that shit anymore.

>>733614039

Apparently you can combine items into sets.
Only took me 40 hours to figure that out

>>733614039
You don't seem to know what weighted means in this context. Outliers will always exist.

>>733613375
It's one of those classes like mage and druid that can just be dogshit useless if you're a lucklet. Tech up sets are good, otherwise Tinkerer armor for brace + rocket boots or something similar can work alright, heal bots are also always useful

It's just yet another form of padding.

1 for each hat unlock and an assortment of loot (could be more if you have items that drop more loot)

>>733614140
I heard that the clovers you get for winning battles fast are cumulative over the whole run, so if you are doing every battle in 1-2 turns you can get fat rewards from the last boss.

This was the first time I arrived at this boss so there is legit no way to know this is what you'll need. If there's one thing I don't like about this game it's that if you don't spoil yourself and know in advance the shit you have to do, you WILL wipe unless your run just so happens to have that shit dealt with. It doesn't happen often, but when it happens it's just fucking crap.

>>733614453
Haven't struggled with any but Act 3 is where the game starts to get challenging.

Act 1 is a guaranteed free win with any composition, act 2 requires at least some competency to reliably clear

Just make sure to spend hours doing furniture runs first, scrub.

I say just have it be common knowledge because thanks to wikis, it is anyways

Think of it like the much maligned 95% chance to hit in XCOM. Yes, you can roll a 1 on a d20 for an automatic miss. Same would probably apply to to those weighted results. Your sample size is way too small to determine that it's bullshit, I'm sorry.

What does feline AIDS do?
I once had a half-rat in the Lab give one of my cats ebola, and another gave a different cat COVID, and then by the time we got to the boss everyone had ebola. Both are contagious, and ebola gives +3 bleed while covid gives +1 poison.
Those things giving diseases isn't even in the tooltip. But my Butcher had Schadenfreude so we were able to beat the boss and go home, where I piped all the cats just in case diseases are still contagious at home.

You start with poison and weakness, you inflict poison and weakness on contact (fine so far), but you permanently lose one con and one speed after each battle permanently. My Butcher went from being the team's carry to having to be carried over the finish line literally.

It's funny, though, since it was so debilitating the first time, i just denied his offer every time after. If I'd roll something more forgiving, I probably would still roll the bones on his event.

i think the saving grace is that enemies stop somewhat targeting your cat corpses, the drawback is that shit like knockback damage counts for each death count on the corpse so a few bounces means your cat is GONE in a second

Don't pretend like this game doesn't have rooms that completely fuck over certain classes or strats. Like how if you depend on lifesteal or bleed the game conveniently throws a room full of armored enemies at you or mutiple ability cancels if your spells are carrying you, etc.

Ok, I'll spell it out. You let a tanky cat with 10 mana get swallowed by the face, then use the unique skill you get inside there. It slaps the face with both hands, puts them into the perfect position for your other cats to slam them into his face repeatedly.

mutations are cool and can be cosmetic, but don't sleep on abilities
for example I have these cats who have spirit bomb. spirit bomb is okay on its own, but it will double its mana efficiency for each cat that has it activated. that means I can have four 50 damage 3-range AoE attacks on round 2. this is has consistently won me every Act 3 run.

Water bottles are kind of a meme. They can be good, especially if you find tricks to replenish them, but I feel like the amount of focus the game puts on them leads people to think that they are way more important than they are.

Ultimately, the trick is just to figure out the enemies and try to lose the least amount of health possible. Also, healing is still great in the desert as long as it's not small health regeneration or AoE type stuff.

Honestly that bosses whole gimmick being XD RANDOM shit annoyed me and I just wanted to be done with that run. hated that in LO too, glitch characters are stupid and unfun
Especially since I just did another fucking boss before that and I was a bit low on hp since my cleric had no heals but her basic, while my Druid did fucking NOTHING.
Probably could've reset, but there was so much stuff on the screen, and I was too tired to parse it.
But yeah, thankfully they're not super targeted unless it's a special kind of enemy or aoe but it still makes me reeee.
I couldn't even tell what was going on, half the field was on fire and then he did some blast shit and turned my cat into dust. Just fucking healed her corpse too, but nooo.
same for both lol, I just thought it was cute. I like Summer and the whole idea of her a lot, especially with her becoming more close with Sam after the 15 days and mellowing out slowly.

Ultimately, that's the trick, yeah, just learn the enemies and rooms and how to fuck with them. Bring a cleric along and you even get some room to fuck up a bit without being harshly punished for it.

The water bottle gimmick almost feels like a noob trap. Not really, but kind of like a useless crutch that the game puts way too much focus on.

with 10 stimulation it may be too early to focus on inheriting abilities, the chances are just too low for you right now. but for stats the base chance is a coinflip, so it's entirely possible for you to breed all 7 cats.
you need to create pair bonded cats. cats will love the cat they lose their virginity to, and will have a much higher chance of mating with them. this is doubled if they love each other. set aside a room solely for pair bonding cats with stats that complement each others weaknesses.

Being able to see the enemy's attack range and movement range is pointless when they can act multiple times per turn. Daddy Shark is a good example. If you position yourself just outside of his range, you'll get instakilled because he has multiple turns.

How do you counter a grim reaper outspeeding your team and wiping it since it moves 4 times per round. By predicting it? And before anyone says lolol 60 hp--yes, he is not a hard miniboss at all, but early in the game unless you are using guides and reading every spoiler in these threads, you are going to fuck up--especially with some misleading descriptors

Yes, the game does throw bullshit that stuffs you at your runs, but a lot of issues can be solved by avoiding unnecessary damage and instead thinking "man, I get gangstomped everytime I run directly into the enemy, let me blame the game and say cleric is S+ tier because of it."

There's truth to both sides of the coin.

This isn't true. All of the random events, battles, and chest items are predetermined before you put them in box. You can influence the outcome with your stats, but it doesn't go "anon got such and such event, I'm going to give his cats aids now." You will always get the "4 candies" event on the same spot regardless of how you're doing in the run. You will always get the "broken paw with no stat check" event on the same spot no matter what you do. You can test this by copy pasting the "start of day" save and reloading it.

Yeah I'd wager a lot of the people swearing by Cleric so hard are still trying to play the game like a normal SRPG.
They're not using knockbacks, debuffs, watching enemy patterns or any of that stuff. Just trying to tank and spank with no contingency or flexibility in their teams.

>>733615992
Tinkerer's problem is mostly just that items scale weirdly. If you're still plinking the enemy with spitballs and batteries by Zone 3 then it's a struggle. But if you roll Blacksmith + some fucked up strong weapon like the Log or Sniper Rilfe it breaks the game.
If it had more reliable acces to Tech (i.e., built in bonus action to spend coins to get 1 stack of Tech) it'd be a lot more consistent.

That and all the mad scientist bullshit needs serious rethinking. It does way too little damage and puts the Tinkerer too far in harm's way for how ineffective it generally is.

It's easy to breed too many cats and get overwhelmed thanks to the bad UI, happened to me as well. I hung on to my home defense heroes and family elders out of attachment, but it's better to just get rid of them and only keep the very best.
learn to dumpster your cats without remorse, as all the NPCs need lots of cats to get better and those upgrades truly help with progression.

Because you don't unlock the Tinkerer until later in the game, you absolute brainlet. You can't accurately assess how "good" something is by how many people use it, especially this early in the game's cycle when people have yet to figure out everythinf about it, and 2x especially off of Steam achievements, which will naturally include people who played the game for 3 hours and then never touched it again. Were you born a dumbass, or did it develop naturally as you grew older?

Yeah, I fell for that before realizing just how strong rocks, extra bounce damage, and repositioning in general were to succeeding. Once you learn to restrain yourself and not move/attack every chance you get if it puts you in a bad position then the game becomes much more reasonable without a cleric's extra few points of healing over the insane utility you get with other classes once you start paying attention to the field and baiting enemies into safe setups

Tinkerer can work even if you completely ignore Tech. You can focus on Robot summons, stacking electrical damage, recharging with electrical damage with something like Technology, or do a straight up bomb build without the bombs with the Explosion Immunity passive and jetpack or whatever.

Kind of in line with what you're saying, I feel like people focus too much on the individual classes in general. You bring 4 cats for a reason; you can build them towards different things depending on what you need for a run. The game isn't like NuCom, where every class is just different flavors of killing shit - there is an actual need for utility skills due to how much fucking HP and how many turns the enemies get. I think a lot of the people malding are trying to force every cat to be a DPS monster when it would be better off supporting the other cats. Explains why Mage gets shit on so much.

I really doubt you actually did an autistic analysis of said achievements to comparatively determine how much more likely people were to beat each boss with each class, anon. Even if you did, it's still too early in the game's lifespan to say, just from that, which classes are the "best." Almost nobody will have unlocked everything for every class at this point in the game, and those unlocks make classes better or worse by diluting the level up pool.
And really, this is a shit way of trying to determine how good something is in general. The Watcher is, hands down, the most busted character in StS, but if you look at the Steam achievements more people have beaten the Heart with every other character, because she came out later. Some people will try Tinker once, go "meh" and never touch it again out of complacency. There's a lot of variables like that you can't control for when looking at Steam Achievements, which everyone understands implicitly, which is why everyone who replied to you called you stupid. Because what you are saying is stupid. Does that make sense?

I want you to sit and think for a second how you can get around that. What kind of information can a player extrapolate from:
>being shown how far an enemy will move in one turn
and
>knowledge that the enemy will take multiple turns
and
>knowing exactly WHEN they will take each turn

>>733617802
Mage can get by because a lot of its stuff falls under the umbrella of being a "Controller" - lots of knockbacks, slows and stuns generally no matter what your luck is.
Tinkerer's distinct archetypes go in three completely different directions with no overlap outside of Catbots intersecting nicely with item spam.

that's exactly the issue I'm having with him.
It's too rare to even get a passive and an ability or God forbid two abilities that synergize.
so it's more likely than not to roll a bad Tinkerer who will be close to useless and who's blocking a party slot any other caster could have taken and been better at.

That's when you build towards something else, dude. Absolute worse case scenario where you have a Tinker that can't get tech and has no skills that synergize with each other (which is certainly due to the player fucking up) you could still make him useful with a lot of singular skills. Nurse bot, the electric heal, dynamite or jetpack to clear 1hp trash mobs or proc on-damage effects of another cat, hiding in the back putting mana into nuclear bomb, fucking electric studs and anything else no matter what it actually does.

I did it last thread only because my fighter had dumb muscle. I used a mana consumable to max his mana, had my team smack my fighter around so he lost intelligence and gained 100% crit, stacked bruise on the shark, and then killed him with one big -42 HP hit, leaving the shark at 1 HP, and then my tank finished them off before the shark got another turn. If I didn't have dumb muscle and the nip skill here I would have definitely lost most of my team if not the entire fight. I kind of built this team for tanking and testing necromancer for the first time so this level was basically countering me

It is complete luck, there is almost zero influence you can have over it. There is barely any good strqtegy for tinkerer, you really are at the whim of RNG. Both class ability RNG and item RNG.

Cool. I just can't understand how people are struggling so much with building their cats. I've had cats that did nothing but cast Sunburn once per turn for the entire first half of the run because they had nothing else going for them, and I still found them SOMETHING to do by the time I got to the final boss. It's either genuinely impossible to have cats that are completely useless (without getting fucked by events), or I'm secretly blessed by God with incredible good luck in vidya gayms in particular.

No, these people genuinely seem to think that picking Tinkerer is a 50/50 shot on it being worse than running 3 cats. That's what I'm trying to get at - just because a cat starts out only casting Sunburn once per turn doesn't mean he stays that way. I had a tinker that started with the 7 mana add electric damage skill and had 3 charisma after the first event, and a mage that had nothing but the give mana ability. Both were useless out the box, but I could use the mage to give mana to the tinkerer, letting him get +6 damage on a spitball or whatever, which was actually pretty decent for the early game. Two shit cats meaningfully contributing, just from that. Then, as the run progressed, they both picked up more useful stuff and started doing their own thing. Those classes aren't "bad" because they took more effort than the Tank and Hunter I brought along. They were still very useful by the time I beat the Throbbing King.
>>
>>733619312
when people say a cat is "useless" it's not literal
but while the ranger is chuking 40 damage for 4 mana and the butcher's basic attack does 17x2 aoe damage, my tinkerer takes 2 turns to create an ok weapon that does like 15 damage at most or spends 9 mana making a robot that then takes the entire round to move and heal some other cat for 5 and at that point yeah i'd fucking say he's useless

>>733620080
>maybe i should've picked a cleric instead then
But then you wouldn't have had the chance to gamble on explosion immunity + top hat + add electric damage, senpai. That's the point. Your cleric might've never rolled any heal other than its basic attack, plus no cleanse, plus no holy weapon. That's technically possible. Does that make Cleric a shit collar?
>>
>>733620398
>Your cleric might've never rolled any heal other than its basic attack
NTA but that's kind of the point. Cleric always has a reliable heal and if all else fails, you can pump strength stat up in a multitude of ways. You are locked out if pumping the tech 'stat' the majority of the time, and thus is why tinkerer is worse than pretty much all other classes by default.
>>
>>733620163
>You could get a hunter with Luck Swing who never gets any way to remove debuff or get unmissable shots, too.
oh no, the high luck class gets an ability that favours high luck, what a knightmare how will i ever recover from 16 damage basic attacks from the start
already does more than 99% of tinkerers do by the end of the run
>>733620398
anon cleric must have 5 actually shit abilities total, it's literally mathematically impossible to get a build in the level of worthlessness as the average tinkerer
even in basic terms just having the innate heal is better than taking 2 turns to do anything because you have to build a weapon then throw it if it's melee
