One of the greatest joys of this genre is fishing for synergies between the many weapons and passives one acquires along the journey. Because each run of any roguelike is randomized, that aspect of discovery is baked in. Sometimes, experiments fail and result in impotent builds that make a given run far more difficult than it has to be.
But just around the corner can also lie one crucial upgrade or piece of equipment that can radically turn around one’s fortune, such as when I picked up the Gold-tier Plague Bearer in this run. It’s synergy with the corrupted medallions on my person and the sheer number of damage boosts, my damage output soared through the roof in the final push of this otherwise middling run.
It’s one of those moments where our character build was just so powerful that it was almost impossible for us to lose this time, with so much raw damage going out that none of the remaining bosses could stand in our way.
Part of what this genre work is the knowledge that any run could theoretically turn into the kind of run I had towards the end. Even if one isn’t very good, sometimes raw luck will carry them anyway.
