When to use upgrade scrolls with rogue (lemmy.world)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have got plenty of wins with mage and warrior as they play pretty similar from my experience and now I’m trying to get a win with rogue but I can’t work out when to use my scrolls of upgrade and on what (weapon or armour or something else?) and what the general play style is like. I feel like the “blueprint” for successful runs with this class is different but can’t work out why. I can consistently have winning runs with warrior and mage but can barely get to floor 10 with rogue.

Rogue gets early strength from cloak, abuse it as much as you can to get out of bad situations/setup fights.

Use all your resources to get to Tengu then go assassin and dump SoU into your best weapon and augment for damage.

Happy one shotting :)

So no upgrades into armour?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

That's my playstyle but you can put some into armor, as a +10 or +15 weapon is basically the same lol.

If you get a good ring I would put SoU into the ring instead of armor.

For example:

Thanks for that! What rings would you say are good for rogue?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Top: Arcana, Haste, Wealth

Ok: Evasion, Energy

Avoid: Accuracy, Furor, Tenacity, Elements, Might, Sharpshooting

Mostly because you want to oneshot as rouge, and you won't take any damage as a result.

Also you always surprise attack so accuracy is worthless.

If you had a run where you got the had the arcana and wealth rings on floor 1, where would you put your upgrade scrolls? Into the ring of wealth?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I juat did a wealth run with rogue, it is easily one of the most fun runs you can have. Every upgrade immediately goes into the ring, nothing else.

At some point the mobs drop +3/4/5/6/7 equipment, so you get upgraded gear via the ring.

RoWealth is all rings in one, you can farm for as long as you want for drops.

For example the max RoW without luck is:

Natural +0 + Troll upgrade + 2x Reforge + 15 SoU = 18

A +17 RoW with a second +1 RoW equipped will give you +10 equipment.

Then when you get all you need you transmute the RoW into a RoArcana +17.

So basically a RoW is a RoArcana but with more gear. However it is very grindy even with the ghost ally.

Here's a 6-chal rouge run

I find rogue the best class to play casually and hardcore because of the cloak. Gear for my 1,2mil score rogue run. Shattered pixel dungeon
