Tactics

Obtaining

---

• The Hyper-Threader is obtained by reaching the third teleporter and activating it, without taking damage once as Commando.

• The Artifact of Glass is very useful in gaining this item. Because the player must not take damage in order to unlock it, the low amount of health playing with Glass results in is not an issue, while also allowing characters to deal increased damage.

• The Artifact of Command is also useful. It allows the player to choose items that will help get this item quickly. Getting a Guardian's Heart gives the player a shield that can absorb hits, while items like the Hermit's Scarf or Paul's Goat Hoof will increase evasiveness, allowing the player to more easily avoid damage.

• The Artifact of Kin is also a good choice; however, it can also backfire depending on the enemies chosen. If the player is lucky, they may get an enemy which is easy to dodge, like the Lemurian.

• It is recommended to play on - DRIZZLE -

• The easiest way to unlock is to go into a match, get zero item cooldown & freeze time for a while, then go into another match & activate the third teleporter. The time stop should carry over.
  

Note that fall damage, fire trails, HP shrines, and damage absorbed by a shield don't count as being hurt.
