Do you have certain vials or pills you always have on you? Do you have a certain order they must go in?

Personally, I always have my health vials in slot 1, remedy capsules in slot 2, a support vial in slot 3, and a damage vial in slot 4. I like to think of a support vial being stun or poison, while damage being shock curse or fire.

I honestly don't care which vial goes in which slot. As long as the vials don't match the level's theme (Like fire vials in FSC, or freeze vials in Heart of Ice).

1 and 2 are HP and remedy,

1 and 2 are HP and remedy, the rest are useless. But i forget to use the first 2 so they're all useless :P

Vials at 4-5 [Useless huh?they can block turret's projectiles]
Sleep and Curse : fisrt choice
Fire and Freeze : second choice
Poison and Shock : least choice
Mecha Kits : willing to give up any vials' slots for them.

I have a remedy in slot 1 and a health in slot 2 because those two slots have hotkeys while the other two do not.

Health in slot 1, remedy in slot 2, sleep vial in slot 3, Mecha-Knight in slot 4

No-Thanks

kdk

i stopped prioritizing them and now i just make sure to tidy the floor
so if i have 3hp 3pill 3randomvial 3randomvial i would discard 1 or 3 vials and grab a new vial

imo what really matters is how well theyre used against monsters and blocks, not how nicely theyre put in order lol

I remapped 1 and 2 to Q and E so I generally keep hp and rem in them.

Hah, I'm particular...

Priorities!

Health
Remedy (this is conditional. If I am in a difficult status or heading to one, I stock up. If it's something which I resist well, then I ignore them.)
Poison/Curse (chuck at the annoying menders)
Mecha Knight Kit (destracts and buys time)
Sleep (imobilizes mobs;non-construct runs)
Fire (highest damage)
Freeze (also imobilizes, but not as well. I have a lot of fire damage on me, so it gets countered readily.)
Shock (too unpredictable, but moderate damage)
Stun (hurp-durp shield bash)

Don't care about the order, but my priority for which vials I'll carry goes:
Pills, Remedy, Curse, Stun, Poison, Fire, Freeze, Sleep.

Shock vials are lame.

I place health pills in the 4

I place health pills in the 4 spot and remedy pills in the 1 spot. I keep them far apart, so i don't accidentally click on the wrong one.

Theirillusion

1: Health capsule.
2: Any vial. If fsc: Poison.
3: Any vial. Some times nothing to avoid dying from status with a useless vial in my hands.
4: Remedy capsule.

Due to the awkward finger

Due to the awkward finger position needed to use them in the new UI, I don't use them for the most part. I know where the health pill is and sometimes I don't use that either. It's to hard to get to them while attacking and using a shield. When the monster gang muggings started, I stopped stopping shooting and swinging a sword to point and click on a vial. Everybody uses them as fireworks on the elevator before they leave the floor.

@Iamnoone

What? When did the new UI change the key binds? You can always change them, you know.

Hero-Of-Cheese

Needs more cheese.

I just pick them up and leave them be, unless it's a pill or a remedy capsule. The number keys 1-4 used to be for my vials. But now 1-3 are used for my battle sprite. As for 4, it's a loner.

Left click and hold any vial and drag it in place of another. But that other slot must be filled with another item.

On FSC I use slot 1: freeze vials. 2: health pills, 3, remedies, 4 , poison vials

How I Organize Vials

This is how I like to organize my slots for any run in any mission or arcade gate:

1. Highest level Health Capsule I can possibly get

2. Mega Noob Kits

3. Mega Noob Kits

4. Mega Noob Kits

Mega Noobs = Mecha Knights

Though I usually just end up with unneeded Vile Vials that my Masky can already take care of.

@Autofire If that was true

@Autofire
If that was true health would go to "c" but since I am limited to the four slots, I ignore them. I roll without a 7-up and often don't have a shield. Just kill, kill, kill.
