Man I really hope the subs start kicking in for you soon. Your videos are educational and always give me such a hunger for playing Monster Train again. Its also very pleasant to listen to on the side.Thanks a lot for the great content!
Appreciate that! I doubt it'll ever happen unless I play a more popular game than Monster Train haha. I'm hoping that maybe Slay the Spire 2 fills that void.
@@RisingDusk I enjoy your content as is, StS is nifty and I'm excited for StS2, honestly MS2 would excite me more, also chances of looking at Vault of the Void?
Infector Level 3 + 2 Bog Chrysalis with Multistrike, when they hatch, they get 130 total damage when Infector attacks ((2*4*5)*3). And that works into Relentless, meaning you scale damage into Relentless itself (which is rare, as off the top of my head, only Parafin Enforcer can do the same at such a scale). You just need to get to 10 Echoes, which, when playing top floor, and you have Infector (and are liable to hatch one of the eggs at endgame before any enemies make it up), makes it pretty playable. The only issue is, you are limited to 4 Echoes, so it makes Extract cards kinda bad. But 480 damage, across 8 strikes (minimising damage overflow without needing an Umbra Stone/Trample) at 4 echoes is still respectable. Of course, you can always play more Echoes on the floor, but overflowed Echoes are negated at the end of turn. It's still crazy, though, to scale 130 damage, every turn, without much actual luck/effort. Just need the right Chief path (and I'd argue one level of Corruptor makes the build a lot better outside of Relentless), Bog Chrysalis, a Multistrike (and probably a +25), and a dupe. Not too hard. Shattered Shell would just basically guarantee both eggs are hatched by the time enemy units reach top floor. You just need survivability at that point, and only enough for Spine Chief (who will tank) to survive, and the eggs at Divinity. Of course, you could go full Corruptor, and that's just nutty. 640 damage at 4 echoes, across 8 multistrike, is insane. But it's also a lot worse into Relentless (although, you only need 6 echoes going in to Relentless to get nearly 1k damage), Chief gets less HP, and hatching is harder (although, you should be hatching one egg by the time enemies arrive on your floor).
Infector is good, but really banks on hitting things that can capitalize on his echo generation, and is on average worse than both other paths. It's still Chief, though, so it's very good.
