So, hall of mirrors is a spell that gives the witch scaling potential, and is phenomenal for boss fights. After two turns of getting it to go off you’re rolling two extra dice which means two extra attacks, or an extra attack and an extra die. It’s a really solid pick for tanky builds, but is also just all around good

I was honestly struggling with the first Witch episode until I tried running full hall of mirrors strat myself...it's usually between that or prepared slots with big numbers but really when you have enough dice flowing in you can get a lot of damage just by overwriting your slots multiple times a turn.

10:24 Hall of Mirrors is hands down the best spell IMO, since it stacks -- as soon as you find 1 health gain spell, and granted you can survive a few initial blows, you can always end all battles with full health through sheer dice quantity

Under "bonus episodes" there's the Halloween special. the witch's episode is very cool! it doesn't have any luck and it's purely just puzzles I really recommend you check it out, even before you beat the rest of the game. actually, there are mechanics introduced in later witch episodes that come up in the Halloween witch episode. so it might be harder/confusing if you play the Halloween one first. but definitely try it after! especially if you enjoy figuring out the optimal way to play and don't really care for all the luck

I laughed my ass off when Tyler called the rat king stupid only for him to get the rest of the poison off anyway. The way he said it was just so funny to me.

The most amazing thing about the witch to me is how her spellbook mechanic lets her circumvent a lot of debuffs. It's strangely thematic.

Hey, Tyler! Here's a fun tip for the Witch! Have a dice and don't wanna throw it? If you have a spell that requires 2 dice to put into your hand, you can put the correct dice in there in order to actually store it in there for use! This means you don't need 1 turn to get a better spell, AND this means if you put another correct dice in there, and CANCEL the spell, you can get the dice back to use for THAT turn! It's honestly a really cool tech, and is a good reason why you should have at least one spell that requires 2 dice to use.

Loving watching you play this game. Looking forward to the ascensions!

Love that Blizzard kind of became your work-horse spell in this run!

Thing is... he argues “it’s not worth to spend a 5 and a 6 to get an extra die... but magic key also requires a 5 and another die each round. You can choose between spending a 6 to get a die for the rest of the fight, or any die to get one more die for one turn... Considering most spells do flat damage, independent of the dice value... 6 aren’t that valuable anyways

You say that a 5 and a 6 are difficult to get for hall of mirrors, but that's just a 1/6 chance for either number, much like all the other numbers, and it wasn't like any other item was using specifically a 5 and a 6. You also already had a couldron at the start of every fight, so you have "x starting dice + 1" for your opening hand, where x becomes higher the more levels you have since you get more starting dice. It's unlikely that you'd get it off during your first turn, sure, but it allows for more dice to be used per fight, giving you more flexibility.

I’ve been loving this game, for the record hall of mirrors is insane and really good as it snowballs.

better witch mechanic, when a dice is used in the spell book, you get the dice back and the throw dice changes to match that spell (eg. getting a cauldron makes throw dice give a new dice)

Love your vids.

the witch rules so hard. shes so tricky but when a build works by god does it work. some of the episodes/modifiers are a miss, but some of them are really good and worth a play!

For anybody who's interested in the story, you are a part of a game by Lady Luck, and if you win you will get to ask for any wish to come true, but while you are there you: 1. Need to be a dice for the lulz. 2. Can't leave the place. And to keep it short, nobody wins. Jester is the right hand man of Lady Luck, and the Witch is actually one of the enemies you can encounter. Sometimes they get turned into dice as punishment, and that's why there was no Jester in the scene after the boss, 'cause he said "Oh yeah we can actually leave!" and basically betrayed her.

One tip is to put hall of mirrors in the sixth spot and then start with it so you activate it as Mitch as possible or get other spells

This is my favorite character!!! I played her soooooo much

So glad he figured out prepared spell slots lol

I personally struggle with Witch (I think), but eventually managed a win; the game threw me a bone by giving me Buster as the boss, who was pretty much hard countered by the ice spell I had. Though I would also highly appreciate some tips for the later episodes.

I LOVE UR VIDS SO MUCH

These concepts are very interesting. 17:42 You used Flamethrower (which needs two dice) in the first Inventor video.

That even required split a die probably benefits odd spell synergy. Splitting a 2 gives 1 and 1 Splitting a 4 gives 1 and 3 or 2 and 2 Splitting a 6 gives 1 and 5, 2 and 4, or 3 and 3. 4 of the 6 ways you can get a split results in both odd dice while 2 of the 6 splits gives even. So if you use odd dice spells then that turns the 50/50 success into 83/17 because 66% of your evens get converted to odds. To get more specific, of the 12 possible returns, you get 1’s from 4, 2’s from 3, 3’s from 3, 4’s from 1, and 5’s from 1 out of the twelve. Putting your most wanted spells in the 1, 2, and 3 slots would be the best chance of getting those if you have the even split spell…

26:48 He could have created another doppledice and double the 3 to deal 10 damage with the doubled

Please turn the volume of the music back up for the next vid! The soundtrack for this game absolutely slaps!

I remember having a lot of trouble with the Witch, I ended up winning with a build that just spammed Meteors and did massive damage Also throwing burned dice at the wicker man for 4 damage each was great

Was really looking forward to this episode in particular hoping for some tactics to use in my own game, cos I'm stuck on this character and haven't been able to progress

Personally I thought that hall of mirrors plus was really good. If you put it on an upgraded spot you just needed an even. I thought for the longer fights that was well worth it.

After your done with the main characters you can try out the bear which you get by being thief and when facing the alchemist you use their bear potion.

Super fun

With spells that require 2 dices to be casted on the spellbook(like magic spear) u can use 1 dice ( so just a 2) and then end ur turn, and it will only need 1 extra 2 after so u dont have to discard a single 2 making stuff like magic spear even better

So what would you say, so far, is your favorite and least favorite character?

There's a secret character if you use thief, once you get to the alchemist wait until the bear spell is used to kill them and copy that

A game you may enjoy is fantastic contraption classic on steam, a puzzle game about building a, well, fantastic contraption to get a pink object into a pink box. you may have heard of the vr game by the same name and it's definitely fun but i recommend the classic games for an introduction. theres countless user made levels and pre-made levels for you to play. give it a go some time!
