So I've been hard at work today getting my equips in order and making some new weapons. It was a little stressful, but I got everything I wanted. But I wanted to see what you all think of my equips for a Royal Jelly run.
Armor - Ash Tail set
Shield - Mighty Defender (working on getting a Heavy Plate Shield)
Weapons - Vile Striker, Firo Driver, and Master Blast Bomb
My strategy is to use the Firo Driver to open with some burns. I read guns aren't very useful since the smaller slimes can get in the way, but the Firo Driver has a splash affect. The Master Blast Bomb is really just crowd control if things get too hectic with the slimes. And the Vile Striker is for obvious poisoning and quick damage dealing.
Suggestions, corrections, anything helpful?
Are you attempting to solo, by the way?
Overall, the Royal Jelly is easy enough with a competent crew of 3*, so you don't have to worry too much in facing him.
The usual method is to completely ignore his spawn, and keep him Poisoned most of the time.
Continuously rush with melee (no guns, only use bombs to set-up before getting on the switch), and heal up when he super-spins.
Shock and Stun Vials are fine too, as Shock will spread to most of the surrounding Jellies, and Stun will delay if you get him right before he becomes invincible. Don't forget to shield when he does.
You may need to revive once, but you shouldn't have energy revived previous to getting there; it will be just a mere 5 energy for 3-4 Jelly Gems, in a way.
