What was your strongest build?

i love how every rogue-like has that one build that turns it into a cake walk, but it requires almost every single component or it fall apart. what's amazing to me about tyler is its obvious how much happens in his videos that we don't see, all the failed runs and the time spent strategizing

After Watching Northernlion play this game, it made me realize that the game is a lot harder than you make it look

I read somewhere Tyler that if you hold Shift before firing, you can bypass the Folly Shield's without losing them.

pretty sure the pawns have to protect the king because as we see, if the king dies then they get obliterated by lightning sent from the heavens

I'm so proud of that second queen, figuring out who she really is. Such an icon

Tyler, I believe this is how the shield/bypass mechanic works: As you mentioned, there is some element of randomness as to the spread of bullets. Therefore, if there is a non-zero chance of the spread "screwing you over" and causing you to deal non-lethal damage, it won't let you shoot without first destroying your shields. However, if there is a guarantee to kill the enemy (no amount of bad bullet spread can prevent the piece from dying), it will instantly shoot without forcing you to destroy your shields. I could be wrong, but this seems to apply consistently to all applicable scenarios.

Missed mate in 1 from double rooks at 3:34...yeah, can relate

I don't know if you are ready for the secret bishop Boss or not but here's the way to summon him Get red book When you are at floor 12, kill the king while letting a bishop survive Good luck

I've heard something about mod support for this game, which got me thinking about a mod concept. Specifically, allowing players to choose pretty much any 10 Black *and* White cards they wish. This would result in the potential to have absurd builds on both sides. (Perhaps a consequence of choosing any particular card would be that said card would be the only one available for the rest of the game. Or that could be a mode within the mod...)

I very much enjoy that the renamed the card that replaces a bishop with a queen backup to "genderqueer."

I love how at 6:24 he's like August presence Meh and then says it's really good.😂

we have sniper king now, SMG king, revolver king, rocket launcher king when

Yesterday I got 3 holy gunpowder, high focus, crow's blessing, 2 engraved scope, cornered spot, courteous jousting, and extra barrel. This is the best sniper built I've ever got, ever. I literally just need to right click, fired 3 times and win..

I personally REALLY struggled with hard mode, so good luck with that!

I think Tyler forgot that the soul slots only give +1 firepower if they’re empty, and most of the time they were filled. So it encourages and rewards using the souls more often to keep the slots empty.

I think the red book would have been a perfectly fine choice considering you had the moat... :P And the ammo regeneration does sound insanely good. It would make up for the enemy pieces being faster.

I've been subbed since btd battles 1, and btd 5 days. I just don't understand how not only you find the coolest strategy games but only have less than 500k subs. Don't worry you should hit a million this year if you stay on track. Love watching your vids man

Snipin's a good job mate! It's challenging work, outdoors, I can guarantee you'll not go hungry

Tyler, take The Red Book for your next run, while it makes Bishops more annoying, there is a secret boss associated with it

Looking forward to more of this!

High firepower sniper builds make this game look easy lol. gg

Me awake at 11pm for the 172733th time this month waiting for the upload

0:17 A "Shotgun" blast

2:45 the random bloom is totally intended, and designed to be played around. removing it is fine for TF2, but not here Edit: have you heard of the true final boss yet? If you wanna fight it, here's a hint: you'll need the book.

Sniping's a good job, mate!

13:02 "Too little, too late, bishops! I won't be needing to focusing on you and pawns any longer"

The sound effects are beautiful

I think how it worls for when you have an enemy unit right beside you (or in check), I think you have to have more power than they have max HP to be able to take them out and not have them take your shield, as I have noticed that in the past few videos. I may be wrong, but that is my hypothesis on how the shields works

commentary wholesome and entertained nice

Absolute chess prodigy prodigy

Seems pretty alright

Tyler actually is the master of strategy, makes any strategy game look insanely easy

in the first 10 seconds of game play you have shocked me. do you know how many runs i would have succeeded in if i knew you could reload without having to move

i like that they changed the name on the bishops turning into queens card

man you're right the sniper moat is op installed an hour ago and won in 55 min with only 5 or so runs

“Welcome back to ShockCock King” Where can I pick up -that- game XD

14:49 I'm glad they changed the name of the cross dresser card to genderqueer. It's in much better taste.

whenever u play this again, take the card that says it lifts a piece, its really cool

great video

this game is cool as hell!

14:30 that's what the police said

Nice

yoo clean run

big W

Pikemen is absolutely terrifying for me

hes a true sniper now

Having a ‘blast’ with it, heh

17:12 Somehow I don't think I've heard 'Let's try and get some kills, here' in chess.

Next run you do, please take the red book. It’s so much fun!

finally a dungen crawler for me, a chess player

What happened to the endless mode of the last backpack hero?

Seeing Tyler pass the red book physically hurt me

“I’m actually having a blast with it.” Pun intended?

You should check out a game called Nomad Survival. It's in the same sub-genre of Vampire Survivors, and it does a lot different to where it feels like a different experience.

Crossdresser being renamed to Genderqueer is an interesting detail

thank you for listening my advice on old video

“King with a shotgun” sounds like a music video name lmao

14:30 Got close to being cancelled there

You can fight a secret boss if you have the red book and leave a bishop on the board after the big white king fight

-shotgun- *sniper* king

8:14 is when the moat + sniper starts

Shotguns are really powerful

11:49 red book unveils secret boss

Another soul slot doesn't give you more damage if you never use up the souls you gain

This game makes me realise I dont think ahead fully.

Imagine not being early

correct me if im wrong but i dont think having knockback would acualy be to bad because there is no way to nock somone into a space that puts you in check without you already being in check as all you ar pushing them away from you not towards you meaning its impsible to push enemys to check you if you are not in check already but im probably missing something

On floor one he is using a shotgun On floor ten he is using a bolt action sniper rifle

There is a secret fainel boss in shotgun King you need to get the red book and 1 bishop

so i dont get it why do you have to get out of check if the peace that puts you in check isnt gonna move?

Dont know if you know this but there is a secret boss fight you can unlock

Hear me out: 5D Shotgun King

At 3:34 if I was controlling white you would be in checkmate

They should give the option to play normal chess in this game. I mean, it has a great artstyle.

Shotgun king becomes awp king

what does the blac flipped card do?

3:35 shoulda been ladder mated smh ai

oh yeah since peggle like rougelike is (apparently) a crazy currently so I want to recommend Roundguard as a game to check out, it's a peggle like rougelike that I'd say is very good, even surpassing Peglin in my books.

GET THE RED BOOK

whenever you cant post gameplay you should post a 4second clip of just you saying "hey, tyler not here"

You skipping the Red Book so many times brings me pain.

Take a shot every time Tyler forgets about the moat Alcohol poisoning

i respect the card "genderqueer", big fan of the name :3

Finally Chess got an Update

3:35 unfortunately there was a 0% chance you would be able to kill that rook you didnt have any bullets in the gun lol

I have to ask this, how did intern play without thinking and won first try, while you have to use 100% of your brain to survive

It's weird how the average person in the west thinks shotguns have no range. I guess good job, Hollywood and CoD.

Shotgun got SLUGS

*meet the sniper start playing*

i thought in chess white goes first

Does Tyler sound different in this one?

Honestly, as much as I love the shields. They suck. There will be moments where I kill a piece and a secondary piece that was behind it kills me.

Basically Doom entrnal in an nutshell...

That empty soul slot one seems shit to me, you lose the bonus after every kill

2:45 what is it with people complaining about random bullet spread in games? It's funn and random wich I like also its more realistic

Tyler you cant shoot someone far away in check, only up close like you said but the reason is because in chess the king could kill that queen! remember the moves you cant make to kill as the king you can as the shotgun.😁

The AI could’ve easily checkmated you on floor 4 if it wasn’t stupid.

hello i had 9 fire power on floor 5 then 10 on floor 7 and 11 on floor 9 and cuz i am stupid i lost there

Sniper OP?
