After many, many attempts, I FINALLY beat Tier 3

After many, many attempts, I FINALLY beat Tier 3

FINALLY

Turns out that stacking Dentist, Chef, and Franken kind of makes everything just...never die. And then you put Hacker on top of that to enable Chef and Dentist Crit Shenaningans. Agent was the random pull (picked him for Secret Orders Crit Boosts), and I was surprised to find how well he fit in. Secondary DPS, good buffs, even more Saves, kind of doing a little bit of everything. Only three families, so a small relic pool. And since nothing was dying, nothing stopped me from playing cheap and earning a cool 25 grand from Investment Dude right before Act 6.

I went from having umpteen runs in a row die at the T3 Killipede to smashing through it with zero casualties, and riding that momentum all the way into Endless.

Great game, had a great time, can't wait to see what's in store in the future!

Bug or Electrician dude one shot killipede head?

I was not able to pause the game fast enough to geta better screenshot but the head just exploded still leaving some of the body alive. Has this happened to anybody else? I thought the head always distribute damage to the bodies leaving it the last one alive

Accidentally made the Druid decent

I had been trying for a while, turns out pairing the Druid Dude with the high burst of the Mummy Dude works really well. Druid desperatelly needs the high crit, cleave and attack speed to deplete enemies' HP early on, so the Mummy's Doom finishes the job and snowballs the endgame.
It was funny seeing the stats, since the Druid had 5x the DMG but the Mummy had all the kills.

Most Regular Dudes you've had in a run? 23 on this run.

Was waiting for Jobs Aid but didn't get it until last shop before Goddler.

Tip for Burner Phone!

Here's a tip that may seem obvious, but I myself, with over 200 hours, did not even kind of realize or notice that it was a thing, until I suddenly randomly did-

and yes, I know, you can argue, that on t2+ especially, if you DO need this tactic, you are likely not to be able to beat anything beyond the G.O.A.T.

And for most of the time, this holds true, but there are some niche moments, where, say, a team gets chunked more than it should have and that kind of damage doesn't happen enough to consistently ruin your run, OR if you are on T1, this can 100% save your run, especially if you don't already have relics like 'Bullet Time', 'Padded Helmet', etc.

In case it wasn't clear, you want to get ready to activate the phone RIGHT as the G.O.A.T. smashes the ground and sends your dudes flying, hit the phone right in the concentrated pack of dudes to instantly recover them so they're on the boss immediately.

Note: This can, and does also work for the Killipede, however, keep in mind, more often than not, if you are ever even in a position in which you HAVE to use an item during the killipede, outside of the typical lightning bottle/meteor spam, then you are likely already donion rings. So prepare for the success rate there as opposed to during the G.O.A.T. to drop exponentially.

Is there a way to see enemy debuffs?

Running the daily dude comp right now and took grappling dummy (5% miss chance) and just got the relic for the assassin that adds miss per stack to enemies and already have the relic that adds vulnerability per toxin.

Started wondering how much vulnerability and miss are actually getting stacked on the enemies, like should I add more assassins to make sure the field is covered or are enemies already hitting max stacks.

Then I realized I have no idea if there is a way to actually see the enemy's debuffs.

Playing on mobile, but it doesn't seem to be a way to check?

I am a software designer and I wanted to show a HMD desktop-cozy that I am working on!

I love the game so much that, as you can see, added on in, I decided to mix business with pleasure (business with myself, mind you, and pleasure with...mys-electrician voice line) ANYWAYS!

I decided to make a HMD interactive (in a sense) desktop background, or what I like to call, a "Desktop-Cozy", in the sense that it will have dudes move just like they do in-game, at the ranch, to any music (or audio that I choose) I'm listening to at the time, to give the impression of dancing!

Sort of like a built in visualizer, but with dudes!

I have a few different themed ones, of my favorite games (this has clearly made this list, bravo devs) that I have made so far, so I feel I am getting quite better at them :)

This is merely a test, kind of far out from the final product is some time out, as I picked 5 random sprites and have yet to fully iron out the loose ends and fully bug-squash, but end vision here is to have all dudes switchable to whichever combination you want.

But really, devs, just thank you so much, for a truly amazing game. <3

Tier 2 unlock?

Hello! I recently purchased this game for my android, and I've since then gotten a gold star on every dude type, and in fact have a gold star and all gold items on most dudes, having beat the GOAT multiple times. However, I can't seem to figure out how to play tier two? When I hit new run it starts a new tier 1 run with no option to start a tier 2. Any help is appreciated!

Finance dude is the best dude

So yeah as the title suggests, I'm not sure why people have finance dude with a b or d rating even in their lists, it's god tier for me! With enough money and line of credit, he's unstoppable! Plus he supplies his own money!

Best dude ever, he carried this run on his back!
