What I’ve learned from this video is that the best weapon in a game titled “Shotgun King” is a sword.

Theory: Tyler is just a copy of the real Tyler, who is mass producing Tylers to make videos so Tyler can sit back and relax while his Tylers do all the work for him. Every video is a new Tyler so Tyler doesn’t need to supply the Tylers with any food. Tyler can just let them wither away.

8:42 could you imagine if you got all that blade synergy, and then took august presence without thinking. That would be heartbreaking, if not soul-crushing

As you could see in the big boss king’s description he can’t attack you diagonally, so you could’ve approached him to blade him that whole time

Blade build is satisfying to look at

I can't believe it's Tyler here and not "not Tyler", the evil twin

This run is the one, the blessed run! Showing those peasants the Royal Swordsmanship. One slash, one chess piece torn to shreds. 1:27 Floating Tyler bc yes.

you can actually blade the boss from the diagonal side because the boss cannot attack diagonally, it only move vertically and horizontally

9:28 Anakin: “same”

It's 5 in the morning I should be asleep but hey, New shotgun king drop Edit: New longsword king drop

Yeah using those soul cards frequently can really make a run. Any time you can use a soul card and immediately get one back, it's probably the way to go, especially at the beginning of a round. It's really hard to make that a habit tho, my brain really wants to play it safe, but it's such an advantage

9:27 Big words for someone without the high ground

Luck or not, you made the most of that! And such a fantastic editing job as well, chef's kiss to the editor(s)!

While you were studying chess, I was studying the blade

“The more I think the better I play, but the more I talk the less I think” -Tyler 2023

Tyler is doing hit and runs in chess, what has this world come to

6:35 honestly I think that was a mistake, it actually does not matter how many pieces there are, because you just one shot them all anyways; slowing them down will give you more time to slash them all down, and you could utilize it even more with an extra soul card, moving a bunch without using up turns. Also the other choice gives knockback to the gun, pushing enemies away from the blade, which is not ideal. Rules were made to be changed, and here you have found one of the rare exceptions to your rule.

I can't believe Tyler didn't see the combo potential of the blade and extra turn from the soul. You can get a free blade kill once a turn, and then whenever you use a soul you take another turn. If you pinball between the pieces that give you a soul when dying you can have an infinite turn slicing and soul moving constantly until there is only pawns left

Really fun effect: The thumb before had the king cut In half

I like the editing. Nice job whoever got hired. :)

"Now I'm about to give you all the *true* Shotgun King Experience™" *Proceeds to have the most op build I've seen in Shotgun King in 5 minutes*

I've watched this 13 times already

Im so glad you’re playing this game again, really liked the series ❤❤ ty Tyler, all support in the world to you!

9:25 alright Anakin Skywalker, calm down...🤣

"Shotgun King" Tyler: Well yes, but actually no

Huzzah! A build I’ve been waiting to see! And on my birthday no less!

Ann alternate universe where the king lose his shotgun and had to use his sword instead

Tyler, 4:05: "maybe I should be more aggressive" Tyler, ten seconds later: "I figure I should save it" and no lesson was learned

FOR ME IT'S MIDNIGHT BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT'S THE WEEKEND, BABY

0:46 Yes. Good quote. Much gamer

7:00 Tyler: I can't slash you without getting clsoer! The Queen: HOHO then come as close as you like

After this game, the next step is Chess FPS

YES TYLER UPLOADS AT 2AM, this is good, tomorrow I have a 7 hour ride and I do not want to be awake during it, so imma sleep like 2 hours today

the blade build is so fun every time I get it

2:22 this gun i got on one of my first games

PG. 102 of “How To Video Games” is very informative!

The best card in the game is no doubt sacred crown - even better than black mist. That "hit and run" tactic works with or without a blade

Man I love your content, started watching you when the ladder was still a thing lol.

“we won’t always get as lucky as last time” >gets the cards for the best build in the game

8:00 ok tyler, next time to the shop I will slash my way to get some oreos. If anyone ask, I didn't listen it from here 😉

"I have never EVER had two blade cards in the same game before..." The next generated card: Are you sure about that?

Weak men use the Queen, Strong men use the BLADE is the title before the inevitable KZfaq change

0:01 I can't wait for Across the Tyler-verse

now this is what I've been waiting for.

"Let's just kill all the children just to be safe" -Anakin Skywalker and Aliensrock

Wanna see more of this lovin the vids

There's something really badass about beating the final White King with a melee attack.

Awww, when you said you had discovered the ultimate blade, I thought you had discovered the amazing Bushido+Taunting Hop combo.

10/10 editing right here

0:13 is probably one of my favourite small edits

9:29 Tyler unleashing his inner Anakin.

I love the sword strat. So OP. Still good, but not as strong on later ranks.

I cant remember but I feel like the extra turns from soul moves and blade kill refresh each other so you can chain them

Tyler: Pieces you knock back can't kill you, even if they already were checking you and you just move them back once. I've tried it a couple of times and 100% kb is really good

Blade is great for mowing down large groups since it doesn't use ammo. Thanks for the video.

Tyler: *plays shotgun king* Also Tyler: *brings a blade to the gun fight*

Tyler really brought a Sword King to a Shotgun King fight

Tyler out here snuffing out the revolution.

"If you have no ammo, smack them with your gun" -Tyler maybe

i think the original title was something along the lines of "Weak Men Use the Queen, Strong Men Use the BLADE - Shotgun King"

I'd love to see him play the third gamemode.

"Don't do this at home!" Correct, do it at your friend's house.

"While you were having premarital segs, I studied the blade."

Blade builds are some of the most fun builds on the game and i always end the same way Going crazy blading everything and dying to a discovery check Talking about sinergues... This game needs some granede synergies... there's like 2 granade cards and like 3 cards that make granades bad i will love to play a granadier build the closest thing you can do is granade + the plague card and fill the white side with pawns

INSANE

That editing though!

Visual suggestion: for everytime golden aging happends, the beard will grow longer (if it’s the first time, the beard will ‘start’ growing) OR Whenever golden aging happends, the chess piece will look older (pieces breaking off, piece getting a darker shade or accumulating dust, etc)

you *CAN'T* be a full demoknight in chess, you *CAN'T BE!*

From the name (presbiopia is the loss of near sight due to aging of the eye), I guess presbiopia can only appear if you have the aging upgrade

I feel like it gets repetitive to constantly praise the editor of these videos, but man, they really go above and beyond what is needed to make something that feels super easy and enjoyable to watch/follow along

Hey tyler, here's a challenge for you. Try and get a run where at the end of the run, no matter what you do on the first move you'll get checkmated while still actively trying to win..

Funny thing is, this build can be even better with the new weapon you unlocked, which gives you +2 blade

First a spellcasting run, and now a sword run. We got a Magic Fencer.

The first blade card if you kill an enemy you get another turn down you to use it again if you don't let me get another turn to use it but even if you don't kill them another term but you can't use the blade again

There is a secret boss in this game! Here is how to get it: Have both Theocracy and The Red Book. In the White King boss fight, before killing the boss, leave exactly one Bishop alive (the amount of other pieces don't matter).

5:56 it says that queens cannot take damage… not that they cannot be KILLED. Assuming blade ignores it, chances are the queen could legit die in a way that doesn’t involve damage since how blade works.

Can't believe Tyler turned Chess into a slasher film

"The more I talk the less I think" this sounds like the general public

I bought this game after I saw you play it and holy shit it’s hard

Quick tip for the final king boss: he can't attack diagonally, he only hits the eight squares directly next to him

BLADE

Black king:has a card that literally puts three pentagrams on the board White bishop:just floating peacefully Tyler:oh no its the demonic Bishops Edit: oh god he even got it as his last card

Here’s a change in chess Beat all the levels while having to eliminate EVERY piece (this includes back ups and so on meaning you have to kill the king last)(yes you have to do it with your shotgun)

11:20 I also realised I confused less and more haha

how the hell did u get so lucky? I grind this game lose a ton, mostly due to being bad, but thats a crazy build that u got

0:46 Words to live by

while you were studying chess i was practicing the blade

SICK run dude!

Imagine if there was a card that made pawn souls a thing so they take up space if you kill them before replacing your soul Edit: I did not know cannon fodder did that

Tldr for this episode: Tyler: how do you like my sword sword?

Yesss

Rank 9 is where I stuck now. It is significantly harder than previous due to rook hp increase.

Shotgun king, but he went back to the old king moveset

I had this broken build in shotgun king that let me have like 3 extra turns.

The dumbest thing you can do in this game is to move to a protected square, you get Game Over that way.

Isn't "Kids with Secret Heir/Air Powers" the plot of Avatar: The Last Airbender?

The blade still cuts a tomato (If u get the reference)

Oh wow, I beat the notification.

There will be blood-shed!

Victoria isn't the gun you want to use blade with. Sure, it has very little ammo, but it has the firepower to oneshot everything except rooks and tight enough arc to consistently deal damage at 2 tiles. Blade builds are better done with Makeda.
