Another useful tip for Descent is your Hardcore toon can play it over and over and get a ton of XP. So when the descent char dies your Hardcore char does not.
A lot of people don't know this and are scared to. I tried to tell a guy who was hardcore 10k he could and wouldn't believe me. What can you do. Your NSA credits from "softcore" carry over too
you have to pick bullet hell after chatter, and you really want to have chatter set up at 5 stacks at the moment that you do. i go into how to set it up in the : 20:57 Setup to go Deep . section of the video on how to set it all up to get the combo locked in. and also important to know, once you lock it in at 5 stacks of chatter, it will stay like that till the end, going up in loops or dying does not take away the stacks.
as it says in the video, it was in the sunday before this video was recorded that we did the 48. and it will likely be around more now that it seems to be fixed, it was likely bugged more so than rare. we will have to wait and see to be sure, but more likely that than it being so unlucky. also getting deeper than 30 was not really hard last or this season, especially with envy, had 42 last season and 48 this, just do it with envy with this videos setup and it is much more about having the time, than needing any special levels of skill. as none of my recent going beyond loop 30 runs have really ended with a unintended death, mostly just us going "that was enough", and ending it.
as i say in the video aswell, there are skills that will give them a random one, and that why they should not be picked pre-nemisis. all of the shields, all of the pulses and the decoy will be random skill for them. also for some skills they will have in the same category but not the exact same skill. they wont have a revive hive for instance, that will become a healing hive for them, same for healing trap becoming shock trap. the easiest is to just stick to the recommendation that i make in this video of : -fire or foam chem -any of the stickies, fire, explosive or emp -any of the fireflies as all become blinder firefly with foam and blinder actually being very usefull on that list.
to get chatter 5 locked in with bullet hell, you kinda have to do a side setup with a big box lmg and a few extras, i go into how to set it up in the : 20:57 Setup to go Deep . section of the video on how to set it all up to get the combo locked in.
