If you have a brandish line, which is basically the quintessential sword, on depth 27 after the second arena, you may use the charge to destroy the wheel barrows along the center, great for just speedrunning through the worthless section.
Also in addition to Judge's last tip, just try to water Vana's fire orbs because it'll allow for more damage from blitz to get past and it's good because it'll decrease the chances of you being lit on fire when he charges at you.
Blizzbrand and Blitz.
Or as I call it...
Blitzbrand.
Real creative.
Chaos set with fire max. Blitz, voltedge, and don't forget 2 true love lockets.
Please don't bring your Rocket Hammer. You probably don't know how to use it properly.
for killing Vanduke just charge blitz after he tried to hit you and work as a team otherwise you are just waiting your time...
have one person on your team spamming shivers and everybody else spamming whatever they have
also remember to take out the zambies
on vana the blitz and shiver and before that you need to kill the slag and on d25 there are lots of rooms be careful ok
-At the start of D26 when you just loaded, you have approximately 4 seconds before your knight's picture and minimap loaded and blocked the view of your top right and left screen.
During this 4 seconds you just have enough time to check if the statue spawned on the bottom right or bottom left of the map. Reducing the amount of time for a slightly faster run.
I have saved a screenshot in my steam to prove it since there are at least 3 players, throughout my 1000+ hrs of FSC, accuse me of hax ROFL.
-D25 Rocket Puppy room. If you ever decide to do this room, or get the loot in this room after someone cleared it already, hit the blue box thing to remove the obsticle and use a Maskeraith to cloak yourself, sneak past the Rocket pup and use Shield Bash without blowing your cover. You could cloak and shield bash on the first blockade too. Another alternative is use a "barrier" item and then activate cloak.
Hope this info helps, cheers.
are there any ways to do it with dracon silvernicle? and also just hit the missiles with either a sealed sword family or brandish family sword it will explode but it wont hurt u if u do it right. but sealed sword is the best one to use. and I just remembered can anyone test it can you use dracon fire barrier to hit the missiles??????? I think I have done it before...
For damage, I'm guessing Drakon can still be effective on all the Undeads if you use an Elite Crystal (green) harness for Elemental damage. The barrier would still be effective without any damage boosts.
Vanaduke's mask resists every damage type except Normal, so the Crystal harness would make it a little harder to hurt him there, but not by much. Everyone else will probably be blitzing the mask anyway, so you won't have much to worry about.
still I always die in the puppy room and I almost always see good things like orbs or sparks... and all I have is a shadow harness and I am poor so It will take me like a week or so to get one anyway and does anyone want to do one in about 20 mins?
never bring a barb or flourish into vana just so u know tried it
with Drakon or Seraphynx just do the Dash trick to avoid getting Aggroed by the Rocket Pup.
still can some1 test it to do dracon barrier against it?
Also,
PSA: DO NOT THROW WATER AT THE ALREADY WET MASK IN PHASE 2 and 4! If you do, and if any teammates are near the mask when you water it again, they're in for a world of pain and fire and suffering and will die, and we all hate you >:V .
Also, if you use shivermister against Vana, you must know the pain of having someone using their really weak gun in comparison to Blitz Needle, and breaking your freeze repeatedly. Do not be this person and make every attack count and hurt, because the person who's freezing him is giving you the damn opportunity to.
Also, on depth 26, on the left path. No, you do not have to throw a water bubble in the top left corner room. Why? Because you can actually get close enough to the statue blocked by fire and pick it up without having to waste time throwing water at it. The same goes for the center water fountain surrounded by fire after the second arena on depth 27.
Also, I would advise just speedrunning through 24. 24 doesn't have much note worthy to waste time over. Also on depth 25, only do 6 rooms since you only need 6 sprites to get water. I suggest skipping the wheel barrow room on the left side and the room with a trojan and two silkwings on the right.
