Try old log and seasoning. Old log is 1x2 and upon one energy creates one herb in the same row. With seasoning, the herbs will heal 5 for 0 energy letting you possibly healing 15 per turn.

With the mouse wood relic if you put the arrows pointing at the bow from the other side of the backpack they can use the whole space in the row, you can alternate them such as they aren't adjacent to each other, this added to a 4 blocks long bow can be insane with mouse wood. Another crazy synergy that you could try is the crossbow poison synergy, since the nerf, bows only shoot arrows they can "see" but crossbow kept the ability to shoot all the arrows it points at, with the downside of a 50% damage multiplier, but poison isn't considered damage so you could technically fill a whole row with poison arrows and make the crossbow point at them for some crazy damage, the only downside being coward enemies as they wouldn't leave before attacking unless the non-coward enemy is in the front, this can be specially dangerous with bosses, but it can be solved with tokens of energy or the relic that adds energy.

the short arrow are really great (at the end especially). the -50% damage is additive. meaning if mousewood is giving +500%, on the short arrow it will give +450% so short arrows are totally worth it to fit more in.

Wrong, short arrows give +1 DMG per empty space, while normal arrows give +2 DMG per empty space, with full space to the right and a common bow, short arrows deal 7 DMG and normal arrows 11 DMG. Short arrows do not have a “-50%” as of v0.16.28

@@akanta5746 One important nuance there: explosive arrow multiplies *modifiers* by 50%, not *total damage* by 50%. This means all your damage-increasing modifiers (empty space, gemstones, ring of doom, whetstone, etc) are cut in half, so it doesn't scale anywhere near as well as regular or even short arrows. Granted, without any damage-increasing modifiers explosive arrow is almost as good as a short arrow, so it's still worth taking. But once you start using items like ring of doom for scaling it gets left in the dust.

Before 0.16 update every arrow in a row used to be fired, so you could have something like 10 arrows and a single fan(belt?) Of knives and every shot increase your damage by something 150 for the rest of combat. Build was deleted with this "first in a direction" mechanic but arrows got buffed massively

Good note for Bows: You can use Duct Tape to fire More Arrows than the bow can covers in slots. Placeing Duct Tape in the path of the bow you can place arrows Above and infront of the duct tape and both will fire :)

Tyler Stocks favorite quotes: "do me a solid (when he killed the reaper in vs he said salid)" "save it for a rainy day"

a friendly tip, arrows gets bonus damage on empty space where it is pointed. the only thing a bow does is activate arrows in each of its row or column. so you can even point the arrow to the bow and set it to the other side of the backpack and still get the same amount of bonus damage. you can also line the bow facing up/downwards. and arrows to the right/left, for maximum arrow bonus. (at least 1 arrow will hit the fall. just be sure to make a stair so that the first arrow in each column is a different arrow.

Don’t know if you hear this enough but I love your content man! You always put out great vids and have a pleasant attitude. I always look forward to seeing your vids! Have a great day Tyler!

Fun Fact about the bow and arrow build. The "first arrow" is the first arrow from the right of the bag, not on the right of the bow. So if a row is: Bow, arrow 1, arrow 2. Arrow 2 will be shot.

I've been scratching my head on how anyone can do an archer build so I'm glad this came up. It made me immediately wanna try it out and I wound up with a God run with a similar archer build, but with 3 ninja armors that give a total 3 dodge each turn in exchange for 0 block. I wound up on floor 22: phase 2 floor 2 of my 2nd endless cycle! The archer build + ninja cloth finally lost when I couldn't one shot multi hitting enemies

Thanks for the videos!

Except bows only fire the first arrow in a row now

As someone getting into archery it’s pretty funny to think about how the crooked arrow would fly

it was painful to see that Tyler at first didnt see that the curved arrow gains damage for empty spaces "below" it.

Shopkeeper: the ring looks good with u Aliensr9ck with 50 rings: why thank you

You got me hooked on this game.

Today I had a bow god run. I had a 4 length bow, 4 electric arrows, metallic wand, knife belt and filled up rest with mana stones. 500+ dmg per 1 energy, plus about 30 uses of a 25ish dmg wand. Even after nerfs, bow remains superior.

Actually curious how you lost here. Did enemies just get too much health to one shot? Could fit two more arrows per shot with the Hawkeye bow eventually, and consumables let you scale even further.

@andrewborkosky2709

2 жыл бұрын

Yea endless mode is ridiculous, with exponential scaling on health. There's screenshots of absurd builds, but most builds except archery stop scaling fast enough to beat anything past floor 12-15

I just got this game yesterday and I was surprised at how different this version is to what I played.

Didn't think about how well consumables and archery build work together

any item with blue text means rotating it changes which directions it affects. the mouse wood can rotate to make arrows above, below or to the left get its 200% same goes for the one gem that gives weapons +2, cant remember the name but I know it is orange

I've recently had my first endless mode run that died on Floor 14, using a stall seasoning/consumable build. It's using a Doru, a shield and 5 seasonings in a single collum (could be placed better).

i think you might have a lucky ring addiction

Tyler's starting backpack is so wide, Song for Denise plays when he walks.

This run hurt my brain

The pack is back!

Thanks because this video i finally can get to 19 floors with 2 normal arrow, normal bow, 2 energy gem, windmill, mouse wood, and barbel. If only i got one more energy gem i could go to 20-22 floor

I think you can squeeze a little more out of your bow if you have it pointing up and have arrows pointing across

Interesting thing of note.. the bow is not limited to facing right. If you get a crossbow, its actually better to point it down or up toward the arrows since it hits all arrows in its line.

Funnily enough I just finished a bow and crimson energy run before this uploaded

8:02 ah yes a WATER flask for a RAINY day

Ah yes youtube, this is definetely binding of isaac

Epic

I didn’t know that the curved arrow also used the space in front of the extra bit (I thought it only boosted from the space in front of the arrowhead). Now it makes a lot more sense why it’s a rare item.

you can flip the arrow 180 and set it to other end to get the max empty spaces in front of the arrow 😉

"I can get even longer." - Tyler

F for the king cleaver

if you face the arrow heads towards the bow youll get bonus spaces with arrows

The duffel bag build

If you rotate the bow the direction it is facing is where the bow would consider the arrows to be for example if the front of the bow faced left then the arrows closest on the left row would shoot this could help with changing consumables and other things

Cool

Even though I haven't watched the whole video yet (obviously) its still amazing, great work Tyler. Those arrows were amazing at doing the things that they do

I literaly had this run earlier today

I have found that the more I try to adhere to a bow build, the more it tries to tempt me to move to other builds.

12:03 F To pay respects

I face palmed so hard when you sold the short arrows. Because they are short you can fit more of them, thus stacking the elven wood effect.

Can you please post these builds going into the freeplay not just if they beat your record, but also if you don't just immediately die? It would be great to see, how each of your builds evolve

What is Matthew's Blessing and how do you get it

You're kinda late to the bow meta, but it's nice to see you try it

He got the Retomation red hoodie at 6:28

I wonder what happens if you turn the arrow around and point it back Does it count as more spaces and thus more damage?

Where can you play this?

1 small problem with this run is that the crooked arrow gains from where the arrow is pointed. He keeps putting things in front of the arrow.

15:27 Would turning the crooked arrow upside down and putting it bottom right not work?

Bows might be less broken if the arrows were spent somehow. Maybe if they cost one coin per arrow shot like the original Zelda. Say the bow doesn't cost energy but 1 coin per arrow linked. They'd still be powerful but using them would drain your funds fast. There is the wand that summons arrows but its a bit tedious placing them every combat.

Bow builds were extremely annoying like 2 iterations ago when arrows were consumed on use and you had to keep looting arrows and you needed a quiver to refill them. There's a lot of ways they can balance bows (especially the wood relic needs to be +200% damage period, instead of +200% on every use) but making them more annoying to use isn't something I can agree with. Another thing is that bows are already extremely hard to use in the early levels because of lack of space, in this particular run shown in the video he had a perfect start with 2 small arrows
