2021 Febuary Gameover% strats

This guide will go over the current starts for GO(gameover) as of 2021 Febuary.

Charachter: to start the best charachter is rogue using idaio, remember by using a trial voucher aswell cloud save trick (as referenced in phaze's guide) you can get infinte chances with just 1 voucher 

Plants: thankfully, none. 

Statue: The statue is the second most important aspect of GO, the only viable statue is thief becuase... well... what else would even help? You don't need bigger bullets or to suck enemies in you just need to get to the room asap and hope to die

Challenges: your set of challenges is what makes or breaks this run. Ideally you want: more enemies in dungeoun, elite enemeies spawn more often, dwarfism, more aggresive enemies and max 1hp

Weapon: for optimal starts weapon is useless but for less luck based start your gonna want a long sword that swings fast to hit barrels

Pre Game: use the gashapon machine to get explosive and get your self to exactly 1hp (or have max 1hp challenge) [Remeber to use the cloud save trick to get optimal challenges]

Strat: dash asap towards the room and hope to ethier hit an explosive barrel or the one which throws out the metal projectile, or hope for an elite enemy to destroy you (contact dmg is your friend!!!)

First guide[OUTDATED!!!]

Pretty sure best route is assassin with max plant, max upgrades etc. since the assassin has the dash ability, other than that it's just a debate of whether you should just choose any chest and take the weapon, as quick killers like Very Rare, Epic, or Legendary Bows and Railguns are very viable options, basically, what I'm trying to say is that you want to pick up anything that does a lot of damage in 1 shot rather than multiple, as they are a larger waste of energy and far more inaccurate. As for buffs, always pick the following any time you see them:
Reduce skill cooldown
- No brainer, faster skills = faster movement
Statue effects trigger twice
- You should worship any offensive statue IMO, I would always visit ! marked just because they may have have good shops with good weapons if it's an offensive statue (Knight, Elf, Theif, Wizard, Assassin) always worship.
Immune to Freeze/Poison
- These can really be a pain, and since monsters can hit them, this is a big problem if you cannot move, also Poison Immunity counters slow tiles, which can also be a pain
50% off in shop
- Not necessary, but you may need it, as you want to buy a weapon from every vending machine as they all have high legendary rates
- Also, shops.
Decreased Charge/Increase Beam Width/Increase Shotgun Bullet Count
- Nice to have, but again, not worth it unless you have a good weapon that has one of these traits and you know that you will keep it. For example, a Shotgun M3 is decent enough but what if later on you want a Rocket Gun? 
Anyways, that's all for now, I don't know how far this is gonna go, so I didn't write a really long strat, just the basics.

Enjoy,

Full game/ level mode

Hi, for the people that read this guide it is made for level mode, with and without vampire which is timed with REAL time(Rta) NOT in game time(Igt). 

The guide is primarily focused on those who are new or want to get in to speedrunning SK.

Disclaimer: 
Please read the ENTIRE guide before doing the sections step by step.

Cloud save exploit:
The cloud save exploit is essential for speedrunning. It’s the main way to keep plants and not having to plant them again an again 

The way you do it:
On the opening screen you click on the cloud button over the settings button. Once you’re in there you click upload progress AFTER you have planted all your plants and forged all your weapons. NOW you can click the upload progress button. Now, if you fail or succeed a run to do it again simply, go to the cloud and retrieve the progress. 

Hero:
Rouge, the reason is because of the Iaido skill which is great for going from room to room.

Weapons: 
Electric ninja stars(Ens) x3 gives you the most dps in rooms and against bosses. It also automatically shoots when you switch weapon. It also gives the more dps than just regular shooting. You get three of them from the trigun buff from the fantastic flower. 

Plants: 
The must have plants when using Ens is binary tree(more shotgun shells), watermelon(faster reload) and fantastic flower(for the trigun buff) which does a heavy lifting in the insane dps output of ens.

4 plots:
If you are a free to play player and haven’t unlocked the fifth plot which you get from beating wave 46 of origin. I would recommend having dragon fruit tree(fire immunity) or mandrake(poison immunity).

5 plots:
If you do have the fifth plot I have four recommendations. 1: the other immunity buff(fire or poison). 2: the radar flower for 1+ damage with the ens. 3: 1 extra fantastic flower for a higher chance of getting the trigun buff. 4: magic flower since spamming ens eats energy quickly. 

5+ plots:
If you are not f2p and have bought plots I’d recommend doing the suggestions listed above or experiment with you feel are missing, 

Attachments:
I wold say that the grindstone which gives you +1 damage and the poison stone is the best combo, but ammo pouch and electric stone is also very good. The ones I wouldn’t recommend is energy stone, lava stone and auto fire, while you can certainly use them the others are just better. 

Challenges: 
If the daily challenge has infinite energy, x2 attack speed -x2 damage, -x2 attack speed x2 damage, dwarfism, -x2 ability cooldown then use it UNLESS it has the following: more enemies in the dungeon, +100% skill cooldown, random weapon reforge, more rooms in the dungeon, melee weapons only(Ens does not count as a melee weapon), -50% energy, chance to change character, max 1 weapon. You can also consider putting gigantism on the list since you get as you get quite chunky, but you do also get more hp and armor. 

Statues:
If you don’t have the holy statue don’t worry about this section, but if you do have it the best statue is the rouge statue which gives a speedboost when using your skill. You can argue that the berserker statue gives you more damage but for a speedrun speed also matters a lot. 

Drinks:
If you have the beverage vending machine you can get a random drink for five coins. The best drink by far is milk as it decreases all damage by -1.
In second I’d say wine since extra hp is always nice.
In third is coconut and orange juice, coconut gives +1 shield so if you have knights buff this is OP AF, orange juice is good even though you have magic flower cus ens x3 takes so much energy.
In fourth is coffee and Bloody Mary they don’t really give any advantages which is why there here.
Tea is a bit of a wild card it gives +1 buff slot which is good but it also increases load times and thus the dime of the run, but if you get +1 combo or lower skill cool down you can pick up the pace again instantly fast. 

Summary:
In this guide I’ve given a lot of strategy ideas which can be molded into one that fits personal struggles with speedrunning Soul Knight. Thanks for reading this guide, I hope it was helpful.

Please stop sending in runs with Igt, thank you.

how to use rouge

rouge is the best character for speedruning
buffs: immune to traps-cactus 
          immune to fire-dragon fruit tree
          immune to poison-mandrake
          laser buff-radar flower
          charge buff-watermelon
          trigun buff-fantastic flower(very rare ngl)
          shotgun buff-binary tree
skill: second skill
weapon: electric ninja star 
strategy: I guess it comes to timing with the dash and electric ninja star gets really op when buffs are added
(so there)
