If you drop 20 sacks and hold down ME i.e. speed bombing, the first 8 sacks are used by the first ME with the other 12 still available for the next explosion whereas if you just pressed ME once it would blow up all 20 dealing the same amount of damage. The specifics of this were worked out by Marty so I can't vouch exactly for the accuracy.
With 20 bags: 1st ME uses all 20 for damage calculation. 2nd ME will start once 8 bags are gone, so it'll use 12 for damage calculation/ 3rd ME will start after 16 bags being blown up by 1st/2nd ME, so should only use 4 or so for damage calculation.
So you can squeeze out 3 MEs for 20 sacks? I'm going to try and find the sweet spot number needed to kill am entire map of Dreamy Ghosts for optimal 65-75 leeching.
Dumb question: in the equipment section when you say "all-stat scrolled", are you talking about using chaos scrolls?
Wait, I've never actually heard this before. Is it just so you need less AP resets for Dex and Str? Or is there a different reason.
for a new player like myself who isn't very funded, is it still worth starting with ME? also, do shadowers need to HP wash? I'm thinking with such high avoidability and meso guard, it is not really necessary but I'm not too sure.
