POTD floor 200 solo

[MilanFrozen]

The real pain doesn't start until 180, or so I've heard from friends, and watched being streamed. I don't really care enough to try to solo past what I already have.

Who knows, I may try too soon if I get bored, although I really don't trust the game and/or my connection to keep me online long enough to not DC during the middle of POTD. The connection lately has sucked horribly.

I don't want to discourage ya at all, but yeah 180+ is where you hit the big wall. Every mob pre 180 can be killed without using a pomander so long as there isn't a floor effect or something. I'd still say go give it a shot though and see how you feel about it, but bear in mind that 180 is when it's hard. Also around 150 you will probably feel the anxiety kick in as you keep looking at the clock wondering if you'll make it in time or if you'll have the boss to 5% and 'duty failed'.

Also I just want to kinda point out the following as far as the RNG goes and list all the RNG there is.

-Pomander RNG (Pomanders are 100% essentially to winning and it's possible later on that you may not get the ones you need. at floor 190 you NEED to have at least 1 steel and possibly two if you can't beat the boss or he will ONE SHOT YOU)
-Trap RNG (Floor 180+ if you hit a luring trap you are dead. this will waste a raising pomander or ruin your run)
-Status debuff RNG (not as big a problem as trap RNG, if you get a floor with the debuff where you can't use pomanders or sustaining potions then you can't beat the floor without clearing the debuff)
-Crit RNG (Floor 190+ some mobs can do attacks that will crit you + do an attack for 80% or so of your hp killing you instantly without a steel)
-Floor Layout RNG (Depending on floor layout, you may have an easier or harder time. this matters because the time is ticking. CONSTANTLY TICKING)
-Monster Layout RNG (Sometimes you will get floors filled with only mobs that you cannot kill without one or two witching pomanders)
-Mimic RNG (On the later floors, the amount of Mimics you encounter goes up and getting infatuation on you will make things harder. Not to mention mimics take a lot to kill)

So my opinion on the challenge itself is somehow moot?

See above. Your opinion is invalid because the evidence above showed you're wrong and your words holds no weight because you have not experienced it. (edit for clarity)
