Magicka: Outsmouth Challenge Solo

Outsmouth is a 10 wave challenge where you gain 1 element per wave. After a while you will then have every element except for water (an element that's needed in most of the powerful magicks).
When I played with someone else they said they get every element except for lightning, so It's a possibility that only the host can revive others, unless you have to have the dlc in order to revive. Or this could be a glitch altogether. I may look into this further, if it's a glitch it will get fixed though.
In my opinion this is a very easy challenge, and is very good for having people learn the importance of each element, and melee.
I may have gotten a bit overboard with the melee, was having fun trying out some of the weapons from the item packs (which only work for challenges and versus). I was using the "Epic robes" from the gamer pack during this cha

alle items AND elements are randomly given. Every next wave can give you either an important spell book, weapon or an extra element. If you play it repeatly you see that sometimes you end with no fire and cold, or end with no water and arcane or end without cold and shield. It changes everytime, which makes this challenge replayable. Only the first three waves are very boring because of the lack of good elements. Having an Octrod really helps you in skipping the first three waves.

@FlippieX If someone has an Octorod, they shouldn't have a problem with this challenge AT ALL. =) You end with 1 element missing at the end, hence why i have every element except water, but sometimes it doesn't give an element to people connected to whoever is hosting. (lightning seems to be always given in wave 2 but no one else gets it) I love the first few waves because I like seeing everyone melee/shoot everyone. but yeah, replayable challenge, I just wish it was 20 waves, not 10.

@TheKeeshu lol, so far (I have already played it for several times) end without 2 elements, not just one. Other difference is, that I don't like melee capability whenever others can shoot me at a distance.

[TheKeeshu]

@FlippieX Well, you can always use the robes that have a gun, I believe there's one that's available to everyone that you can use. You can use the bug staff on the other robes and it has a slightly stronger melee than vanilla robes I believe.

As for DLC robes

Good meleers - Space, Star trek, Nippon, rogue (sometimes I use rogue's poison as a main attack, super support+decent damage), Tentacle

medium: wizard, Epic, Zombie,

Bad meleers - Detective robes, support, tank

@TheKeeshu No gun, unless you have DLC vietnam ;). Last night I discovered a major error in this map. It is impossible to revive the host of the game. Since, only the host gets lightning element during the second wave. Therefore only the host can revive people. So if you host and die, you have to wait till defeat or victory before you can play again.

[TheKeeshu]

@FlippieX If that is the case, then 3 of my friends have lied about the Reservoir robes being able to be used when they don't have any dlc. Anywho, meleeing isnt that bad, unless you're being a fool and using detective robes or support, then I suggest having the two guys poison each other and steal their daggers. then you just poison anything else and run.

There's another glitch as well, if you go into the upper left part of the map, only ranged enemies can hurt you.

@grim4ig Last but not least. tested out arcane, lightning fire mines and they do about 1600 damage instantly and applies a nice fire DOT. So, if you're a fast typer that's the fastest way to kill them without magicks. 2 lightning does 2 more damage than 2 arcane. and it's easy to hit shoggoths with all 4 mines. only problem is if you're fighting tons of shoggoths, mines will only effect 1 of them.

AAESF. however when I type I generally do easfa when casting it for some reason. =)

[TheKeeshu]

@grim4ig Also, i cannot get all the lightning to hit shoggoth unless i were to walk around him, because he goes too slow to follow you with aaaer, with aaaef he got hit by soo much lightning that sometimes he'd freeze in place from all the lightning attacking him. That's for leading me to learn about AAAEF =)

Though, i will probably use EFFFF still because Im lazy. =)

[TheKeeshu]

@grim4ig 50 damage per tick (doing about 150 damage per second), or 1,500 damage per second with fire... I'll stick with fire. Even before it starts burning up really high it does about 100 damage per second.

However, with this in mind, A+A+A+E+F is probably better because it takes a lot more damage from lightning if it's chasing you, and it burns him as well, dealing even more damage.

Doing EFFFF was something off the top of my head because I don't do the challenges much.
