My favourite gun. It's just so satisfying to use. The only downside - I still accidentally press 3 to equip it due to engraved muscle memory from Painkiller 😅
at first i didn't like the striga because it feels like the shots come off center from the crosshair... then i pinned one of those grenade launcher bastards into the mountain side. loved it ever since
Its not that difficult to learn it to use it. The projectile is fairly fast and doesnt have that huge gravity drop. The projectile also has very generous hitbox it self. Something like OW Hanzos arrows. Plus the projectile ingame magneticism makes it all overly an easy weapon to use. The only part where it struggles is the Galeon calamity sniping the 3 skulls with. But I bet that can be learned also.
Combine this with stormball and stake with banshee as well as basilisk for elite and boss clears you're practically unhittable. Vulture for close quarters if you get overwhelmed but if u manage to aim with striga you are never running into close quarter combat.
Yeah, a stake + stormball always work wonders, i just uploaded a short on them :) But I want to display other possible combos too, so this time Bell + Shockwave! But good tip with the boss killer!
I'm currently using this with Basilisk. I'll never drop Basilisk but still trying to find a secondary. Edit 1: Was previous using All-seeing eye with it.
@@chr_issoThe final mysterium makes Basilisk a lot more usable and it's much snappier than the other sniper. It doesn't have the same DPS, but the elemental damage makes it pretty nutty.
Amazing showcase again. Hangfire and Striga are the only weapons I have fully upgraded, and I was using Striga just for the burn and shock, ignoring the extra damage from the stuns. I might have to try and level up those other spells, after seeing you use it turns out that damage is A LOT. Speaking of upgrading, I'm holding my last M3 upgrade material for the Stake. Let me tell you, the spell is amazing, but I really don't understand what they mean with "Enemies Hexed" on the upgrade requirement. Sometimes I use it on a large group, followed by Stormball (which is fully upgraded) and get 0 progress, other times I get 3 to 5. Seems so random. Took me hours just to get to M2. Do you have any tips on how to level it fast?
The best way of easily upgrading the stake is going to level one of the tower and just unloading with stormball or cricket. The bursts that emanate from the stake itself is what counts as hexing an enemy, not simply lighting them on fire.
About Hangfire and "subsequent explosions on the same target deal less and less damage". I dont play after this updete, so have question. Now Hangfire doing lower subsequent damage for more then 6 bullets, to fix Cornucopia use? Or now even second bullet explosion doing lower damage? If second, thay just destroyed weapon idea :(
Good stuff! Just a question: why mention Severed Ear? Its effect is to knock enemies back; it has no stun, so it doesn't seem to have synergy with Striga. If the Ear had stun it would be godly!
I have no idea what good lightning does in witchfire, early on I haven't seen much use for it but, does ice count as stun for this weapon? that'd be an interesting combo
You're right! It was to showcase that you can't use this method against the biggest enemies and if you play it like this, you need a single target damage dealer for bosses!
@@chr_isso This looks cool but it seems very reliant on spell stuns, so you'll need them fully upgraded as well as 40-50 Witchery to play like this. Cool endgame combo though.
Do we really need a video on hangfire? I mean .. it's not OP anymore but .. does it need a showcase? It's not really unique or special in the way you play it, is it? Shoot empty, reload, win... Or do you have any special suggestions i should look into?
@chr_isso I just want someone to tell me that it is still good. Any new recommendations to replace it in the Hypno + Hangfire + Stormball + Burning Stake build? I tried Basilisk as another fire weapon and it was working well, but just doesn't have the ammo capacity I need
