Shotgun King: the Final Checkmate
store.steampowered.com/app/19...
Someone made a post on the official PUNKCAKE Délicieux discord offering 40 bucks betting that no one could beat rank 10 with Richard III (without using a blade build) in a week, so I figured I'd try it. It took me about 5 attempts but I decided to only upload the successful one. This is also my first shotgun king video after a huge update, revamping the difficulty settings, introducing new shotgun types, and adding a lot of neat new cards!
Richard III has high ammo count, clip size, and range, but has bad firepower and accuracy, so runs with this gun tend to be difficult unless you can find cards that leverage the high ammo count.
Rank 10 has the following difficulty modifiers:
+2 pawns
+1 rook
+1 hp on the king (giving him 9 hp)
+1 knight
+10 degree fire arc (slightly worse shotgun accuracy)
+1 hp on the king again (total +2, giving him 10 hp)
+1 bishop (bishops have 4 hp)
+1 hp on all rooks (giving them 6 hp)
+1 hp on all knights (giving them 4 hp)
My 3 damage shotgun shells cannot destroy anything from full health except pawns, so let's find some damage upgrades and the run will be manageable. Getting some better accuracy as well will be nice but is not as important, since any orthogonally adjacent piece can be shot for full damage pretty much regardless of your shotgun accuracy.
