Noita Plicate Spells Are Secretly Overpowered 

we bathe in wurm blood tonight!

The chance for 5 Worms in a row to drop a heart is 3.125% Neat. Time to start using the -plicates spells for real.

Now the devs are gonna nerf them again, SMH, thanks old man. Daily Request for more Death montages.

Don’t worry about boring RU-vid, a lot of people are starving for long content. Keep doing your thing!

!!!!BUDGET GREEKS!!!!

dont worry about us getting worn out here on youtube. honestly id like more vods getting uploaded. but i do get wanting to keep your yt higher quality so mby upload them on the dunk or trash channel. personally really enjoyed the 100% run

Ive definitely had a couple wand builds that required missing the mana cost of stuff, like not casting omega because of mana cost limitation but and using a or gamma to use it cheaply without a recharge apell

Great Video! Small correction: -plicates will only copy spells of type "projectile" or "static projectile", not Matter Eater for example.

I am brand new to Noita and freshly addicted. I greatly appreciate the content and crave vidoes about the intricate nuances of spells like this. Learned a ton from your chainsaw and spell wrapping vids. Keep em comin!

yeah, that combined with a heart mage would be insane

New dunk vid on a Friday, it's a good day.

I last played noita in january of 2023 but I still watch every single noita vid from you and fury

Man I swear every time I watch one of your videos it's like we're playing different games. There are so many things I would have never figured out just by playing. It's crazy how much depth this little pixelated game has.

You could NEVER bore us Dunk, i appreciate that youre always worried that your runs are too boring but honestly man Id watch anything you put up. Love you bro!

you know its a good day when there's a new dunk or slam video out. Got my first sun quest done thanks to you!

new to noita and the channel, love your content! you explain everything like you're our big brother

That's very very nice to know ! Thanks sweaty man

Thanks Dunk! Been following your' explanation videos since I started delving deeper into Noita. The spells are confusing ~ Thank you so much for these!

I personally don't care about 'boring' runs, I would watch any runs, and if it's any challange run it's just a bonus. Even just unedited twitch vods are cool for me, and looking at comments, others share that view :D

Bout to Plicate my health pool with this one, didn't know about any of this before the video.

honestly man more vids like this talking about more spells in detail and combos would be great. obviously new players can learn but this really helps speed up that process cuz me personally dying over and over and not really understanding these spells sucks a lot. like im not dumb but sometimes just not as creative or innovative to think of these combos myself

He wasn't lying, it took him 3h

worrying about "overwhelming us with content" lol, I'm pretty sure you should just upload ALL your future vods to the DunkOrTrash channel, even the random games, i enjoy your vids and ramblings with chat, I'm just not the biggest fan of twitch, not like youtube is much better... dont be so critical of the trash channel, feed us

dunk really cooked with this one..

They are not secretly OP, they are obviously OP

Love the noit. Thanks so much for the wisdom Dunk!

I saw that spells in my run. Nice to know what i can do with that in future

I love the ranting bro ty for the videos

good advice very appreciated I had been trying to beat alki & unlock greek spells for literally 4 years, did it this week, now any time I get a decent seed I take the gold biome then go to the shop in zone 2 of the work and get greek spells most times. Or from hiisi hourglass, I think unlocking greek spells is pretty big personally

Thank you, I was sad not to use those nice purple spells but now I will !

Thanks, dude! Highly appreciate your break-downs :) congrats on the challenge run, by the way!

I appreciate the RU-vid stuff. I'd love to watch Twitch more often, but I'm East coast, and staying up till 4 am gets ugly.

You could easily try to get a ton of hearts in the same area and bring them down to a Master Of Wounding (Heart Mage) to get a ton of pre-Kolmi HP - would be a really good starting point and a pretty easy thing to do with a tiny bath of ambrosia.

Thanks for the info! I just picked up a duplicate spell on my current run and I'm adding it to a wand with giga black hole. Now i know to switch that setup to a weaker (less mana) wand instead

the fact it uses the plicate charge FIRST of what its plicating, I 100% do think it is in fact intentional because that would be an incredible oversight otherwise lmao

Man I wish the gg wiki would put a section to explain how this works because I forget how it works every single time I want to do it.

That worm heart farm seems OP Thanks

You could talk about this game for 100 hours and I will listen to it. I feel this content is more engaging to me because you're constantly shooting out information and keep it exciting as you go from simple to more complicated stuff. In comparison with gameplay footage, that bores me a lot quicker than this, since there are moments of stagnation before you move on to the next goal, and you get the deal but still, gameplay content is good to watch, it just depends on how my day has been and what I'm doing at the moment.

This makes sense. My guess is, the stack has to cast the copies of the original first before the last instance of the spell. If you cast the original first, you technically don't have the spell to copy anymore. That's the way I think about it.

This is the first time I've ever watched a video without realizing fifteen minutes had gone by before it was pointed out to me...

i havent ever seen these iplicate modifiers

Hi I'll have a whopper with fries and a coke, thanks king 👑

I only watch on youtube since your twitch streams are so late for me, but thanks for posting this. I'll try it out. I don't know how much work it is, but if you had the time you could just post the twitch vods here. I have been watching all of your old(er) videos while I've been at work and there are some great nuggets of info there.

Not sure if this is known yet but multicasting this trick with a wand refresh seems to negate the cost of both the “plicate” and the matosade, so you get infinite charges if both without the perk. Just spent 20min farming hearts this way before I hoped off for the day but I cast it at least 50 times and it’s still at 20 charges for the 5-plicate (whatever the name is) and 2 for matosade.

Yo man sad I’m only getting into this game now, looks like your streams and shit were dope af. Killer vids man

A bastion of the Noita community! Thanks again Chase. I've walked past these spells a bunch.

Watched the video, next run found the spells, 2000 health, life is good , got complacent , no fire immunity , ranoutofwater.jpg, dead.

Please do an extended version of this I want all the knowledge!

I like the idea of -plicate spells as an intermediary spell for greek spells, but the interaction with matosade is definitely broken.

he did it

decades from now we will have scholars with grey beards still researching Noita spells

Overwhelm us with content? What do you mean!? GIMME MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!

This old man has somehow mult-iplicated his age many times over

Bored of Noita videos? Never!

this would be pretty useful early game before alchemist if you find one of these basically you can save the spell refreshes in the holy mountains so most things you can't get to early game is possible if you have one of these good shit who ever found that out also dunk if you see this please post more content on here i binge all of it even if its from the streams your the only guy i can watch without major spoilers to puzzles most of the time like fury

i subbed to dunk or trash when i found out there was 40 hrs of footage on there

As a programmer I can see it totally comes from how the spell was implemented and was probably never intended. :D . The spell charge on the target spell is decremented after the last copy of it is cast. And it just doesn't happen if the last copy couldn't happen.

can you make a video about pollen looping? its confusing and your videos always help me

Trying it out on spell labs, it's consuming both the plicate charge and the black hole charge.

These are just free samples of the greek letter spells

Info starts at 3:25

I feel this would be easy to nerf for early game, just make the first copy of the spell consume the charge instead of last, and only give copies for each that is successfully paid for, so if you are 50 mana short of the last black hole, it casts one less, if you don't have mana for any, it doesn't consume a charge, but casts none and consumes a peplicate.

Please make a video explaining how the "Requirement" spells work, and maybe the Divide By

I only watch you from RU-vid ❤ Please make more nice content like this 👌👍

Finnish is so hard with all those ä's and ö's... Also here we have this spell called mätosade.

did they patch this im on the release so not the beta 6-7-2024 useing a wand that has 160 max mana 1 cast set up like this (giant spitter with timer 45mana - yiplacate 40mana -matosada 225mana) doing this uses 1 charge of the yiplaceat and burns out of mana... if i use a wand that has 800 max it uses a charge of yiplacate and matosada summons 1 worm that can drop a heart........ after quick testing i did figure it out you have to pinpoint the mana .... yiplacate casts 2 copys if you want the effect to go off you need enough mana to trigger atleast 1 of the copys BUT NOT MORE or it will use a charge from the copyed spell example (same setup but with a wand that has 310>535)

bro hit the 1 in 32 in the plicate tutorial, nice

He fed his youtube community!

Not to mention setting this up next to a heart wizard

I knew someone would make this seemingly underwhelming spell OP somehow. Not surprised you were to be the one to do it.

Is this patched already? Just tried to save charges with a BH with timer, but no BH fired. Might be missing some specifics.

i'm wouldn't be surprised if this gets nerved or removed.

Apparently there's a Noita PVP tournament going on and would love to see you take a swing at it

Dang, I skipped these a couple of times even tho wanted to try it. Now I know, ty

Dunk, I kindly request you for a tut for the advanced wand building(div10, S2P/G2P… requirements, etc.) there is not much on the wiki and in RU-vid.

I haven't tested it myself so i can't be 100% sure here! From your video it seems that if there is not enough mana to cast it fully it casts as many copies as it can without consuming the charge of the spell it's copying (Only the iplicate spell charge). That's why Heplicate + Black Hole casted 2 black holes in Iplicate pattern while on wand with 600 mana (130 for Heplicate, 360 for 2 black holes gives us 490, 110 left not enough for another black hole). It immediately screams to be abused to have a lot of charges (or infinite with unlimited spells) of a spell while also casting 5 copies of it at the same time (with Heplicate and careful manage of mana). Combining this with Matosade (and maybe some divide by I am not sure how this would combine here) may make a completely insane health farm. Edit: Did a little bit of testing, Matosade does not work, it always spawns only 1 worm, but the mechanic is there. Wand with 1030 max mana Heplicate and black does indeed cast 5 black holes without consuming black hole charge (in a pentagonal pattern). I don't know if there is some huge use for that (since Matosade does not work) but maybe someone will find a spell that works very well with it.

the content creator luck is wild with the hearts..

EXTENDED EXTENDED EXTENDED

Limited Greek letters?

please overwhelm me with noita content

You always break my edging streak when you upload! ☹️

Great to know that’s super useful

I was starting to think we were left out :>

Thanks Dunk

Curious if that trick would allow you to cast a hugely mana intensive spell (many dmg+ or whatever) even though the wand didn't have the mana capacity

we love our economy greeks don't we folks

plicate matosade heartmage moment

That's cool and all but can you explain chainsaw wrapping?

I would love the oct one eith the eggs. 100s of friends

Circle of vigor is either a myth or a mod i swear

Finally another chain saw wrapping vid.... oh wait.

mush love Dunk. best noita player ever.

OP part starts at 13:33

I am currently in a run wondering if I should get the unlimited spells perk and I think you just answered my question :)

it didnt work for me. Got a quplicate spell and put it on a wand with 180 mana. I was trying to copy a circle of vigor spell. 80*4 plus 90=410. dont know what happened.

Sorry, what am I missing? never saw any of those in my noita runs, they do not need unlocks right? and I played a lot of hours a noita the last days

сколько повторений... всё это можно объяснить за 5 минут.

more runs!!! just random runs, as far as I'm concerned you can even leave in twitch sounds... worste case mute the video sound when they take over...

This is very cool, adds as another type of strategy for the early game. But I'm struggling to see what's with all the fuzz about being OP. Like, it's clearly not. The moment this becomes OP for you to farm hearts, you're already strong enough to go to parallel worlds, break the reroll machine, become a god immune to every source of damage. This is spell is literally useless later, because it's functionality is based on having a shitty wand. I'd go beyond to say that considering we have divide by, I would imagine that this mechanic was the intended use for this spell, because otherwise it's really bad. You don't want to throw 2 nukes at the same time. And you can say that about pretty much every limited spell in the game. Having this on an early wand means you can get 23 uses of black hole per level, provided that you found black hole. Which is nice, means you can actually use black holes for digging early and not only breaking out of/into holy mountains, and you get an extra space for wand because you don't have to carry your dig and your blackhole wand, but that's it. If you find a wand with triple black hole on coal pits, I'd say this spell is probably already outdated. By the time you can kill connoisseur of wands and worms at will, you can already go to overgrown caverns, make a healing wand, go to PW and become a god. Unless you found exactly Giga sawblades, freeze, and tentacle, at which point you're not really strong, but well equipped for these 2 enemies, then these spells turn a normal run into a god run before you were strong enough. I'd really doubt they change these spells, and if they change matosade, might as well delete the spell from the game. What's the point of it if you can't get hearts from it?

dunk, does freeze liquid perk is best way to dodge polymorphine?
