[hk] Hmm. For a No Healing run, do you think lifeblood counts as healing
Quinn Angstrom
the lifeblood build is made specifically to be OK without healing
Quinn Angstrom
so maybe I won't use it
Quinn Angstrom
what's the point of a challenge run if I mitigate the thing making it challenging
Quinn Angstrom
so, full ruleset
Quinn Angstrom
- Cannot use Soul for healing under any circumstances
Quinn Angstrom
- Cannot gain Lifeblood under any circumstances
Quinn Angstrom
- Must defeat Radiance
Echo
I feel like breaking Lifeblood cocoons would be cheating but using the Lifeblood charms would be within the rules, but I don't know why I feel that.
Quinn Angstrom
the lifeblood charms are much more my concern
Quinn Angstrom
because there's one that just turns all your health into lifeblood but gives you a bunch more
Quinn Angstrom
as like, an intended no-healing viable build
Echo
Yeah, Joni's Blessing, right?
Echo
I think.
Quinn Angstrom
that doesn't feel like doing a challenge run
Quinn Angstrom
it's just trying a new build
Echo
Fair point.
Echo
On the bright side, you're going to be able to spam so many spells if you're not using the soul for anything else. : D
Quinn Angstrom
YEAH
Quinn Angstrom
probably gonna go for a pretty caster-heavy build
Quinn Angstrom
just based on that
Echo
May I make a suggestion?
Quinn Angstrom
also based on how if I shoot giant shade souls at things I don't need to come into arm's reach
Quinn Angstrom
sure
Echo
Dreamshield.
Quinn Angstrom
possible
Quinn Angstrom
I'm using Fury of the Fallen for now
Quinn Angstrom
because hanging around at 1 HP is a very possible scenario
Quinn Angstrom
the healing instinct is strong so for when I inevitably fuck up
Quinn Angstrom
if I heal, I must immediately quit to main menu and reload the save
Quinn Angstrom
technical infraction, I picked up some lifeblood in king's pass before deciding on this rule, but I took no damage between there and the next bench so it had no impact on the run
Quinn Angstrom
managed my first ever perfect Hornet fight
Echo
Ooh, nice.
