the main reason ive watched and supported over the last 6 years is because you do the fun option most times, regardless of if it'll ruin a run. i prefer this over over certain other youtubers who have to present this perfect no pill no bobs brain no bad items type run.

Lmao the fact that olenky has "secret rooms are shining" and still misses them is hilarious Ty for the video, as one says, millenia to live - millenia to learn

The way I play Tiny Rogues is very complex, I call it the "I pick up whatever sounds cool and makes the biggest attacks" method and I love it.

Tyler being sassy to his viewers is nearly as entertaining as his inability to read also: playing optimally drains every last drop of joy out of my body. as soon as I think I know how to play optimally, I will subconsciously tend to do it all the time, which feels like work and is pretty exhausting. I cannot play those games anymore, until I completely forget everything I know about them, which is a curse, because I also tend to not forget things like... ever

I watch a dif channel for minmax tiny rogue runs, I watch you for "average guy with relatable commentary plays game for fun." I feel like your other videos make that clear and i appreciate the casual approach.

The way you play these games and make decisions drives me up the wall. But, hot damn, I love watching these videos 😂

Honestly, fair shout brother. Do whatever gives you the most fun, and as a result, I would hope we have the most fun watching! And honestly, sometimes a run going horribly wrong because of choices made, is way more fun than blandly winning a run on sorc for the X-Thousanth time.

Olexa not picking the revive is the tiny rogues version of not leveling vitality in a souls like

When you didnt take the +2 companions (+40% crit chance) and you took a mana realted thing while having disabled intelligence, my soul hurt

The only comment I'll make regarding the progression tree is that I've had more fun playing since I picked up Wild Card, top left of tree, (trait selection always includes a trait from your lowest stat). I've seen so many weird combos since taking it and it really adds some chaos to the mix. Not going to say it is optimal or anything I just think you may enjoy it as well. Have fun however you want, I'll watch and enjoy.

The lucky hit+crit calc is a little complicated. At 8% crit and 20% lucky only equates to about 9.5% crit (if i didn't fuck up the calculation, but even if I did, it's roughly right) But scaling both at the same time is pretty damn good eventually. Of course due to the thief's passive you'll be crititing about twice as often (probably a little less than twice as much) For those who care, my calculations were: 0.08+(0.92×0.2×0.08)=0.09472 It's been a long time since i did stuff like this so it definitely might be wrong.

Welcome back Olexa. Thank you so very much for providing a delightful stream of tiny rogues while you were gone. I'm sure that one day was pretty brutal xD

Sound damage is a damage type usually only from musical/instrument weapons, which are fairly rare, but are pretty strong, and are the bard’s whole shtick

Straight left from the main node is a pretty good path that rewards you for flawlessing floors/bosses

Taking the double stats from dex might sound very good, but the encumbrance and crit chance matter quite a lot for your build here. Anyway, that one boss fight at 1hp was super well played.

Seeing him assess damage against the Arcane Golem is always a delight.

Just want to point out the kelp item at 10:42 which looks a lot like the green blossom. The kelp is *insanely good*. Permanent +1 stamina for 12 gold, when it usually costs 30 souls is a pretty good deal. Also: the fish minigame you can spam both E and Space. Helps a lot.

just so you know, Intelligence gives + critical hit chance, so even on a run that's not INT based its still decent

Since there are only a limited number of skill points (and several options restrict others) you kind of need to pick and choose, but you can remove and redistribute as needed, its far more like… “putting cards in a deck”, than it is having a “build up the town” system. And the item you bring in with you would be like having a different battle mat effect.

22:51 GIANT SPARKLE CLOUD above a secret room X mark. Right as you were talking about not wasting bombs haha Also at 39:48

Hey Tyler, great run. I can't wait for you to find out later what the endgame looks like. One confusing thing about Mana is that the damage and attack speed you get is per mana, not per max mana. So if you're in mana fatigue (red) you will actually do less damage than when you have full mana.

I needed some tiny rogues today

Tbh i'm here cause of the funny comments You drop about the Game and stuff Keep going as You know king, you're an epic grinder anyway

Losing the encumbrance from strength scaling i think makes that trait hurt a lot of runs

Ive loved the series so far, no need to min max. this is a fun game, have fun. I did watch some other guy so i could see secret rooms and yell at you for missing them; but he must've had a meta upgrade, cause his were obvious anf plentiful, and yours dont exsist.

90% of the time Dont use souls for heals usually, instead you usually want to grab stamina, unless you are running any magic items or swords, in which case you go magic stars on both of those because it super boosts. Even if you are going for some health, likely grab an extra heart instead of a small heal

Curse is the inverse of luck, (rolls twice taking the lower, downgrades rooms and rewards…) but, just like luck, does have some rare things that massively proc off it.

there so much time of gameplay dont let people told you how to play and enjoy your gameplay. nice video !

That was a tough one, I felt that pain there man.

He's never beating the illiteracy allegations

THAT ARCANE GOLEM FIGHT WAS LEGENDARY MY GOD HOW DID YOU NOT DIE

I love Olenky style ❤

I haven’t watched all of this- but I have to say and I usually just creep- keep do what you want (Tyler) either how you play this game or from you ‘24 channel update. I’m here for the ride and while I don’t like some videos the rest is quality conversation that I’m here for

the curse isnt broken u won in the last episode

Man, gotta say, I very much appreciate these TR videos you've been dropping 😊 it's a shame it isn't on PS5, & since it isn't, I come to you for my Tiny Rogues fix Keep on keepin' on, Brother! 👉🏻👊🏿 Edit: ps - You were absolutely right about people who attempt to perfectly optimize every run & how experimenting is half the fun in Tiny Rogues 🤌🏼

Welcome home! Also swords are pretty good... And also way better than bibles...

Tyler after saying that he think he plays the game "better" than most of the comments: I think different people having different gameplays is good, there should not be any that's called bad gameplay

Edit: oops, left a massive comment. Go ahead, read half of it. I recommend just the last two blocks of text (the big one and the tiny one). Lucky hit at low amounts isn't great. Let's use ✨math✨ to discover this ourselves. First, 100% will be 1, 50% will be 0.5, 0% will be 0, and so on. I'm used to this to the point that I actually *prefer* to have probability set like this. I haven't played, but I'm guessing this follows basic probability and that crit modifier is how much damage a crit does. Let's look at the point in the run in which you had 20% lucky hit and 8% crit chance. Without accounting for lucky hit, you had an 8% crit chance. Great! Now let's assume you don't crit naturally. You have a 20% chance to lucky hit. If you do, that's two 8% rolls. It's a 92% chance that you don't crit, so a 0.92 * 0.92 chance that you don't crit in two rolls, or a 1 - 0.92 * 0.92 chance that you crit (at least one rolls a crit). So, If you don't crit naturally, you have a 0.2 * (1 - 0.92 * 0.92) chance of rolling a lucky hit crit. 0.08 (natural crit chance) + 0.92 (chance to not natural crit/roll lucky hit) * 0.2 (chance to lucky hit) * (1 - 0.92 * 0.92) (chance to crit from lucky hit) = 0.1082624 (crit chance) That's a 10.82624% chance to crit! Wait, that's not much different from 8%. The truth is, lucky hit is terribly pointless at such low values, but if you were to always get a lucky hit (remove the 0.2 in the equation above) then you have a 22.1312% chance to crit, which isn't much better, but that's still over 1/5 hits. So yeah, lucky hit is best built strong, but it still feels great to see numbers get bigger. Keep gambling.

Hi Olexa, use the dynamite on the bosses for a legit a 1shot its pretty funny. Also I am a player that min-maxes every run but its what I find fun and I still like watching ur style.

Also, floor 6 - 4 right next to the booze exit theres an X with shimmering. Bomb it for secret room

Seeing how many characters there are is really good to see.

Probably most people's frustrations lie in the moments where you don't want to read the text. That being said, my frustrations with your last run was how crazy lucky you got for drops after making horrible decisions. It's just jealousy, don't take it all to heart, you still cleared!

Your grate man enjoy the vids

the curse has yet to be broken this run was ment to be a loss since the last one was a win

I can always count on you for the fun runs. Do they always succeed? Maybe not, but they're always interesting =)

AT 39:34 you walked past a secret room. I've see a few but not many are great.

Mana star scaling would have been twice as effective as stamina

Also, the theif means you shouldn't take keys lol. It days you can pick locks

mana increases damage by 40% per mana draining weapons.

I watch you because I enjoy watching you play, not to coach you to play like me. Keep doing your thing. Rooting for you bud

Revive is good on cleric, on anyone else its… okay at best. Its basically a free 2 soul hearts if you have nothing as a synergy to it… except it doesnt trigger soul heart items. If you are a cleric And have the angel set, then it starts becoming crazy

Dude i just started watching you, so dope that you call out the comments lol im watching to watch YOU play. Im not going to tell you how to play lol

If you ever make merch/more merch, please make ''cuz I'm a little freak - Olexa'' shirt

You really should have read the tooltip on that sword you found - it had 100% crit at the max range of the attack and you kept running closer.... :(

He's done tripping

You don't have to dodge you're own bombs or when you kill the boss on the end of the floor.

Just unlocked the cyborg today

The secret rooms are also marked with an x just so you know

The souls have not been meta currency since the big update not the update last week. When this version of the game launched they were not meta currency. The meta currency was and still is the boss crowns.

Olenky you can summon up to 4 companions per summoning item. you only click it once more clicks spawn more summons. just wanted you to know edit: im wrong

If it makes you feel any better, the revive isn't even that good; it doesn't even revive you with full health, just 2 red hearts, and odds are that if you're doomed two extra whacks don't save you.

You won last time. The curse isn't broken

39:37 my dude, u could’ve repaired ur armor.

About halfway through, when you took the double Dex, you became encumbered since you lost the carrying capacity. Idk if you sort that out later but that's probably why you started to suck

i respect not using the revive. get good or die trying

You should watch one or two videos of sifd. He is amazing at this game and will give you some info

your weapons still scale to different types of stat increasers strength, dex, int, but your character only gains stats from dex, just fyi.

I'm sorry to say, but this was an odd numbered day, so the curse continues. You were destined to lose

I might be mistaken, most likely. But i believe your crit chance when pointing it out was at 9.6 (crit chance said 8%) Lucky hits occured every 1/5 hits at that point. Which would mean that only 20% of the shots you shoot that wouldn't be a crit would reroll, not every single one. I'm quite horrendous at maths so if there's some abstract formula you'd have to use to find out the number, then i wouldn't know. Also i think you've been using mana incorrectly, it has to recharge and you've been just holding it in. My reasoning for thinking holding it in being an incorrect play is because in an earlier video you had a staff that shot out a whole buncha magic projectiles, when it depleted you only shot out 1 at a time. I would like to point out that i agree with your play on the revival thing, seems a bit cringe and busted in my opinion lmao.

I saw you miss a secret

When you run thief never bother with free keys to start, its a waste

All the systems make a lot of sense if you play d&d

bunny

16:53 I dont care how well you can play, please dont "stroke one out" while recording man.....

If you aren't gonna get the revive, at least don't throw your life away, NOT healing lol. P.S: Using a controller gives you auto lock so you can focus on only movement. Also, the Pyromancer and Bard kinda suck.

I still do not get why you hate swords. They cover a massive area. They are so clearly superior in larger rooms where you can watch it hit on both ellipses of the orbit and that is something you pull off despite not trying for it. You are mad you are getting double hits on many foes.

Good show ole chap Don’t hit read more… I love watching these when I get off! My jorts get creamy when I watch these.

the only problem that i have with you is you refer to yourself in third person and dont shout out my channel salsaboy every episode

If you don't know how to read clap ya hands *clap*

You can always play the game the way you want to, and there IS nothing wrong with that. You just seem to have quite an understated, yet smug, attitude to the way you speak. I imagine it puts a lot of people off. I’m sure you don’t care though, right? Funny how people who think they are so original by “not giving a shit” are just tiresome and generic. Is what it is. I was just looking for a good build, as advertised, and did not find one. Shame. Overconfidence can be seen as smugness when you’re not as knowledgeable as you think you are.

Can you actually not read?

Watching him walk right past the secrets, which he has a meta progression to make them sparkle, hurts my soul. 🥲
