Hey yall, I see a bunch of posts on varying difficulties. I did kinda clickbait my title a bit, but now that you're reading this, I am gonna tell you a bit about my platinum:
Around biome 5, I turned on the Level 3 max +dmg modifier and never looked back. I never thought the trials that added extra aggression from enemies, or alphas, or anything was as detrimental as the meter let it out to be. I was having fun and didn't care.
I platinumed the game around 25hours and my final boss kill was around 2mins or less. I saw that it was kinda low amount of hours compared to other games I play, and I still love this game and want to play more. I like challenging myself. So.
Today I realized I could take the damage modifier OFF, and ALSO turn ON the -dmg done. I dunno what the percentages are, but its actually crazy. I don't know if anyone has calculated the % increase of damage increase from the Protection modifier, but I believe it could be 10% each level, so 30% total. Now taking that off I've lost 30% damage (or so, if I'm correct in my assumption) and also put on Damage Degradation. This may be a further -30% dmg taken from enemies. The math here is probably wrong but I'm estimating.
The point of my post: Yes you got an easy sub 30 hour platinum trophy. But if you like to challenge yourself, or if you are actually as god-tier as some of you wish to be revered as. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE THE KING, I want you to try something for me.
In the screenshot is the build I've come up with to inflict maximum pain. +43 OVERLOADED Carcosan Modifier. Here are the Trials and what they do:
- Corruption Enhancement III - Increase Corruption accumulation from Corrupted projectiles even more. +7
- Proficiency Inflation III - Proficiency increases require yet more Lucenite. +5
- Growth Incapacitor II: All permanent Armor Matrix enhancements removed. +10
- Armor Impairment III - Increase all incoming damage to integrity even more. +7
- Damage Degradation III - Decreases the damage dealt to Hostiles even more. +7
- Power Decelerator II - Further decrease Power accumulation when absorbing projectiles with the Shield. +7
Try this build. Do the first biome. Tell me what you think. Could you beat the game like this? Thoughts?
edit: I rarely post on reddit so I'm not exactly sure how to post an image, it looks like mine got deleted instantly. I might have broken some rule or something, but here is the image with the modifiers: https://i.imgur.com/u5Yc8yr.jpeg
