Offhand for Glacors

[Vezon Dash]

What is the ideal shield/book/item that I should be using for Glacors? Right now I'm just using an Illuminated Unholy Book.

Celestial surgebox.

Celestial surgebox also has the wonderful property of dealing an extra hit every 5 consecutive attacks. Normally, it only does 20% of what your initial hit was, but against Glacors, it appears to do far more than 20%. It also saves a few inventory spaces. You should definitely get it if you're serious about glacors.

CSB is probably the best, even though the 5th shot being double damage only applies if you don't move/eat, and if you happen to get him onto half hp on the 5th hit from the double damage, he doesn't spit out minions until you hit him again, making it useless. I believe this is a glitch as it's too dumb to be intentional. Even with that crap, it still helps save 1 attack tick occasionally.

Actually, you can move, drink potions, or whatever as long as you attack again at the very first opportunity. So you have 5 ticks (4 technically, because magic takes an extra tick to come out) to do whatever it is you need, and as long as you attack as soon as possible again, it doesn't drop the combo. You can even evade the giant icicle special and keep the combo going if you're quick.

Thanks, that's good to know. I noticed it sometimes didn't reset the combo and i was wondering why.

 

Still though. You half hp glacors in 6 hits so often, where the 5th bonus damage makes it under half and the minions don't spawn. I find that so frustrating. (If you're an efficiency junkie you can air strike it at this point to save ~1k)

I'll keep that in mind I guess... Once I decided to get like 1m more rc exp and 1m more dung exp.
