I don't even enjoy Arcade Mode without curses which make surviving more difficult but add multipliers to the end score. I still didn't utilize Berserk Mode because I'm not filming the Pixel Ferrets Edition of Mission Impossible. I am still wrapping up rebuilding Arcadia... As of this writing, this FFF (Freddy's Frosty Friend) is the only Bull Shit Archer supports Frozen Tank run I've ever recorded....It might have beaten all my previous Mage Runs too but Frosty Friend lacks the OOMPH I'm used to! I hope these videos serve as a guide to anyone else who wants to join the small but competitive Secrets of Grindea Arcade Scoreboard community.
I personally think the bosses in this game are too diverse for any 1 playstyle to be called the "best" but mages tend to have an easier time on solo play due to summons.
V Arcane Collar + Lightning Cloud V
I avoided F-r-o-s-t-y--F-r-i-e-n-d (which I do use even on ATK builds sometimes) to demonstrate how unnecessary that summon always has been. It helps 0 with Bishop and isn't much better with most bosses frankly. Pins were crazy per usual with new high scores but this wasn't supposed to be a score run... I'm still rebuilding Arcadia. I think a little more forethought and I could've beaten Bishop. Speaking on Bishop specifically, Earth Specialist with a touch of prismatic for EP management and crit-lord has the most potential especially in conjunction with my Archer playstyle but I'm always eager to be proven wrong...
Fun Behind the Scenes Facts: Whirl-Slash Gold Charge and Heroic Slam Silver Charge was actually the build I used most of the time when CGMontage and I first played Story Mode on Hard Mode back in the day. He focused on Fire Ball and Frosty Friend but handicapped himself by using an Xbox controller instead of a keyboard. Though my keyboard wasn't capable of as many simultaneous inputs so moving while shielding (as an example) was a problem for me. I still distinctly remember seeing 23 hours of gameplay for months before we finally dived into Arcade Mode. At first, we struggled because we weren't used to the slow motion but quickly found out that limited healing was going to be an even bigger problem.
I currently play on a Kinesis Gaming Edge Split Keyboard. Even with all the potential simultaneous inputs, this build is tough to keep up with and too passive for my tastes. That said, CGMontage and I used to both use this (not every run) until we made the switch to 3rd Catalyst (Expert Mode in current vernacular) and found out we severely lacked DMG. Even Lightning Lord (crits + specialist + lightning spells focus) doesn't have the OOMPH!
"Secrets of Grindea" is currently out of Early Access on Steam and is one of the best purchases for any age or gamer's playstyle.
