well.. it's not instant.. its a slow process to find out which way your run has fallen lol

@@theSato honestly ive gotten it a good 10 times and can say that 9/10 times my build got absolutely rekt by it. it really is not that great of an item even though it sounds like it should be

@@jctee. i've gotten it so many times it's an instant win for me every time. If you survive a couple of stages without your mobility you get enough reds that it doesn't even matter. It's better on survivors with a mobility skill they can just spam after a point.

@@pagreg888 yeah if you survive lol. even with someone like acrid that has decent mobility, the bloom upgrading your glasses to a headdress can pretty much break your build. you might get more reds but some reds are pretty useless without the stacking of lower grade items. sure, sometimes you might get lucky with what the bloom upgrades, but if you're going for long runs you don't want all your items to be red

It's a free win, unless ur bad.

I noticed this in my run, too. Definitely possible

Still haven't seen a void fiend video, Mr. KZfaqr, HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO

nice to know!

@@jazper8421 xdddd

i think in one of my runs i had a chronobauble upgrade into an icbm so idk

This once happened to me with 10 Gesture of the Drowned... game was unplayable

Similar thing happened to me with gesture and a mod that adds the infinity gauntlet (kills 50 percent of all life on map, including players) and my friends had to build around me being able to just fucking kill them instantly lmao

@@destrucks9995 Theres a mod that removes Eccentric Vase and Volcanic Egg from the bottled chaos pool, makes it way more fun with gestures.

Or merc/huntress

@@obsidiousmarical3498 or play normally

@@simbast9726 oh I think I replied to the wrong comment so it doesn't make sense here

If you continue building the run all you get is more reds which rely on other whites and greens

@@regularusername5516 yeah but it’s more of A meme idea anyways. I mean, how useful are 30 desk plants or 30 frost relics actually going to be. It’s would just be funny to see a stack of 30, and see how it would affect the rest of the run. Not really a viable strategy.

There’s literally nobody it’s decent with, owing to the fact that it’s blatantly overpowered on everyone

@@sparky6757 frfr, if you pick up the attack speed and movement speed equipment, its helps with mobility, although picking up a gesture makes the game actual hell

@@sinthebay Yeah, it’s not as if it *completely* removes movement options. Alien Head, Hardlight Afterburner, and Brainstalks help with mobility on nearly every survivor. Headstompers are basically a feather in addition to their extremely strong attack. Bottled Chaos with enough uptime will activate mobility-related equipment regularly, which include Milky Chrysalis, Volcanic Egg, Eccentric Vase, and Gorag’s Opus. Strides of Heresy gives extra mobility to the handful of survivors without a decent mobility skill. Also you can pick up Spinel Tonic without much worry even with a single gesture, so long as you get at least 3 kills per activation you’ll have zero downtime. If you plan to end with a boss fight you’d need 4 gestures though, so the safe option would be just a low-cooldown equipment and accepting mediocre movement speed.

@@sparky6757 ok yeah that's true lol

fr

@@lukasstruble660 indeed

you said it brotha

ur right, any melee character would be good with it. i was just playing the two dlc survivors and void fiend is better with it than railgunner

Maybe because void fiend has built-in self heal, and therefore can survive without healing items.

Ego is especially interesting to me for then turning them into perals because I am a mad lad.

@@rndThursday What is an ego run?

@@pupupuppuu its an item... that over time turns all items into copies of itself... basically spawns a bunch of bombs around you... but because it constantly changes other items into itself your healing items and shields/hp ect will be deleted by it to turn into more bombs...

Foreshadowing?

I'm not 100% this is supposed to happen but i have done the teleporter event and left while there was 1/2 void monsters left. They're fkin invisible sometimes I swear

thats big

Wonder if its possible to do a 0% corruption run?

@@theguywhoseinsideyourwalls9153 I don't think so, but there is a possibility to do a run where you don't go into corrupted form, just keep an eye on the corruption meter and when it gets to 25% hit the R key, or multiple times if it gets higher, also I found out that attack speed makes healing by said R key happen faster.

staying at 0% corruption all the time is basically impossible, but here’s a few things. Weeping fungus, while like every other void item makes Void fiends corruption floor go up by 1/2%, basically nullifies base corruption gain with 2 or 3 stacks. Speaking of, Every Void item you pick up makes your corruption go up _permanently_ (unless egocentrism, i guess) and if you get enough void items so that your corruption can’t go lower than 25%, you can infinitely suppress and become literal infinite health, which is really broken with high attack speed, Aegis, or N’kuhana’s Opinion. There’s no real way to get 100% corruption on demand, Critical hits give about 3% and taking damage gives variable amounts, but you’re taking a risk either by trying to go into Doomslayer mode, or by being in Doomslayer mode, since you can’t use Suppress, and you’re decently slower.

@@chickennugget6684 I think if u have like 50 void items you are permanently in void form

Yeah it kinda fucks with a build that needs commons, not very good for a long run

extremely funny item tho, glad it exists

I've found that all you need for this item to work is a forgive me please, extra points if you have a gesture, because it will proc soulbound, for infinite fmp, desk plant, for infinite healing, and finally said desk plant will give you infinite damage through N'kuhanas. you just have to survive until you get all those items tho

Same, I had a decent run and the bloom completely thrashed it. At first I lost my band proccing by losing Kjaros band and converted a lot of my green items to N'Khuhanas while losing my healing. In addition all my soldier syringes and speed items converted to Runalds band so I had zero mobility and attack speed and now limited damage. I doubt I'll take it every time I come over it in the future

Benthic Bloom is pretty :100: if you have a majority of voids as well, since the voids aren't white items (even if yknow they "are") they dont get converted. ATGs? Safe. Tougher times? Safe. Lunars? Also safe.

Corrupted mocha would have been more sensical tbh. Since corrupted items couldn't care less about the benthic bloom. Could just wait for a mod that adds something like that.

i call it Wabungus cause it’s bungus but with a W ..Though it would be Wungus at that point wouldn’t it?

i dont think we've invented a cpu that can handle that lvl of power

will do!

thought hed have all yellow items

How is that a fact

Most likely white/green/red pools, so technically it'll guarantee just as much as normal items

That'd be weird though, as "sprinting" would actually slow you down...

@@tiaanmunnik but it would be funny.

void kombucha, you build up speed the more you move, but if you're hit you lose the speed

@LunaTulpa that would be a solution, but if your speed goes down from being hit, then it wouldn't fit as a void item but would be perfect as a lunar item

the damage in the void fields doesn't ramp. it only ramps in the new gamemode. so, same way you would've before, some damage reduction. it's not easy for sure, but it's not undoable

This is exactly my point! Even if you're a nuke in the form of a snail, it's not actually fun to play the game. The game is the most fun just before you reach god level. God level is still somewhat fun if you have high mobility, take that away and you might as well not even be playing the game because you just wipe out the entire map AFK.

@@backwardsbandit8094 yeah, does get to a limit and starts to feel pointlessness after a while. but i guess that's why they make mods. multiplicity and faster enemy spawns are a pretty good place to start.

🧐 quite civilized my dear sir

always been a hater of it

void fuelcell is useless on capt, void fiend and railgunner main special

Lysate cell is caca poopoo and safer spaces isn't as good as TT when stacked super high. Void Dios is also just worse Dios for pretty much no reason. Void glasses make bandit useless and gimp railgunner. All the rest are totally goated however

benthic bloom

Or as my friends like to call it, jetpack joyride mode

Literally everyone knows this by now

Does BetterUI show adjusted proc chance?

ive been trying itemstats but it never work for me :(

@Austin Perry I haven't looked jnto it properly yet, but I would assume so

@rndThursday strange, I was just playing the dlc with my cousin a few hours ago and it seemed to work fine. Any other mods enabled? If so could be something clashing

i love lean!

Bottled Chaos

That's pretty small buff

@@Akodakun How? The main problem with it is that you end up with all reds and no commons, which are the items that increase critical stats like attack and move speed. Having a red item that benefits from having a ton of red items and gives attack and move speed could help a lot. Maybe the numbers need some tweaking, but the idea’s there. 5% is probably a better number.

Or just add that to the bentic bloom itself

Imagine doing a normal run and opening a legendary chest just to get the red equivalent of a death mark and not use it for 2 loops

@@sultanofswag8901 Which is why I think adding that to the bentic itself is perfect. 1% movespeed and attack speed per stack or something. Exponential scaling even.
