Anyone ever Bad Cheese the core?
This was as close as I could get. I haven’t really put together a proper Bad Cheese build before so I was pretty hyped.
Lucked into Round Guard and Bad Cheese super early so I thought why not go for it. I figured the final boss wouldn’t be possible since it has the max health attack to prevent exactly this, but still a fun way to clear cruciball 7. Then I got Basalt Toadem and thought maybe there was a chance. Got the ball lightning from a question mark early on but it turned out to be essential to clear the purple pegs in phase 1. I’d say those 4 are the absolutely necessary components to make it work. (Along with not getting Demon Wall obvi)
In retrospect I could have optimized my money a little better. The Bad Cheese build isn’t a moneymaker since you rarely fire a ball so I should have looked for more opportunities to take a safe shot and earn some coins. Should have routed for only battles skipping question marks and shops for maximum Toadem opportunities. Also could have gotten luckier with some more max health relics. Even so this was really close. Has anyone here ever actually done it? is there anything I could have done differently to make it work? I’m wondering if there is a predictable safe turn in the boss’s attack pattern where I could have destroyed the intangiball peg.
