So apparently, Chapter 1 can be beaten with all difficulty cards equipped, including Gusto. If someone manages to do the same with Chapter 2, I will complete all 30 floors of the pit.
I tried that on my own time and got to sentient statue, but the only actual strat that could work at all is with snowball. You need to hit at least four of them at a 14% chance each, which, for reference, would take 18.5 hours of grinding assuming 20 seconds per attempt. The only way you could get that down further is if you could somehow get your hands on some glue, then only 3 would be required. Edit: forgot to mention it is more easily possible with HP+, mr batty and a dizzy dial but I don't want to do that
@@Ezlemonade with just gusto, it's easy. With all of it, including thick skull, the only way you could reasonably live is via the HP+ card, but then you run into the problem of plant rush, one that has no solution. If you pick the card that lets you survive big bite, you die to plant rush, and if you pick a card that survives plant rush, (probably Charge DEF, ) you die to big bite.
Ok i know i should not be making a second comment but err The 'Barely survived' thing is basically when an attack does a lot of damage, and it would kill you, it has a low low chance of (i believe) 1% to make you live with 1 HP.
