I know we've all made such a mistake at one time or another.

My incident was in a shock-themed danger room (the one with the 8 loop, spikes, and blast cube lines blocking two paths.)
I opened up a blast cube line only to have a Trojan fly through the opening and trample me to two pips health and my teammate to death.
I run away and then a teamie's charlibur attack sends a Zombie flying in my general direction and I get a nice faceful of zombie fistpunch. I die, then I see the same Trojan that killed my teammate squash Mr. Charlie like a bug.

So what's yours?

Heh, way too many to count. I'd say half my death are unfortunate accidents (off screen Trojan knock another Trojan/zombie onto me, lag, spawning fire tiles, etc.) and the other half are due to my own stupidity. Yesterday I died in the last room in D27 by Trojan smash --> broken shield --> Trojan fart --> trapped by both Trojans and a hoard of zombies. I took down one of the Trojans before I went, but it was a pretty stupid death anyways. xD

Also, any death in Vana's room = stupid. I can never steer clear of Slag Guards properly, urgh.

my biggest mistake is usually

my biggest mistake is usually just fear of wasting pills, or underestimating range and cooldown time.

Also stop typing and get a mic. They're cheap.

I bet that zombie was thinking: FALCON PUNCH!!!!!!!!!

My biggest mistake: 1st time on Snarbolax, and I had to revive like 6 times. Epic fail.

The mic only works if you're on Steam.

very sadly, yes. I don't use Steam, so I don't get to talk to anyone while doing runs :(

Although, lately I've been getting into PUG runs with French and/or Spanish players, and my fluency in those languages is rather lacking, so perhaps that's a good thing.

Edit: biggest derp moment(to contribute to topic): anything involving alpha wolvers and polyps in 3rd room of shock arenas. I fail so hard at those if I mess up the wave timings :(

Ok, I'm going to shield bash my way though these enemies and -ow ow ow- You have been defeated

No way that attack will hit me here. You have been defeated

I'm on fire, but I need to save my health capsules. I'll be oh c- You have been defeated

Look, I can't revive you. Not enough health. Fine. *press enter* I can- You have been defeated

*Steps on random trap while kiting* You have been defeated

Using the Sealed Sword

shock/slime themed danger room --> charge attack = shock, out of ALL the random statuses it COULD have been --> supercharging 3 quicksilvers at once --> epic death

Solution: use steam. It's free. I don't see any reason not to.

I have to say, although I DO

I have to say, although I DO recommend steam, it does have an issue: If steam's servers go down then the whole game does too. I don't think other platforms like Kongregate have the same issue...

My favourite sources of death

My favourite sources of death are shield bumping fire breathing zombies. Suddenly! Everyone's on fire!
