Cavalcadence plays Mary 4: Titanium Axe! (& Ring of Wonder Transmogrified!) (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
So... I was doing some All Zones Mode attempts with Mary, and came across a Titanium Axe in 1-1! I'm still not as comfortable with the axe as with some other weapons, but I figured this would be a good chance both to get some practice with the axe and to see what the axe is like for Mary's playstyle. ^^
Oh, I also managed to get a Ring of Wonder in 2-2. And yep, if you watched my previous Ring of Wonder video (Aria 15), I'm sure you can guess what happened next: I transmogrified it. =)
Mary wasn't quite as overpowered as Aria was, but I was pretty sure I'd regret not taking the opportunity to test what would happen... so I did! And while Aria got Peace, Mary got Might... so it looks like Wonder doesn't get any special consideration (like Becoming does) and it's just a normal transmog (turns into a random ring). Granted, most of the time you probably won't want to give up the Ring of Wonder... but there are some ring effects that Wonder doesn't give, so... depending on the type of build you're going for, I suppose it could be a possibility. ^^
Anyway, despite losing the benefits of the Ring of Wonder, the rest of the run actually went relatively smoothly (for the most part)!
So anyway, here it is... my first ever Titanium Axe Mary win! Hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 1-1
0:51 Mb: Minotaur
1:12 "Ummm..." Oh, a Titanium Axe! I don't think I've ever tried an Axe with Mary before... could be interesting! At the very least, I'll get some practice with the axe. Hmm, and it is a 2-damage weapon... okay, let's give it a try! =)
1:21 Titanium Axe & Obsidian Shovel!
2:38 1-2
3:08 Map!
3:35 Winged Boots!
4:08 Mb: Gray Direbat

4:38 Hmm... I think I'll get that Ring of Becoming too. Probably a bad idea, but... I seem to be doing pretty well with the axe so far, so... ^^
4:48 Ring of Becoming & Luminous Torch! Heh, I have exactly 0 gold now. =)

10:34 Transmog Shop! =)
10:38 Ring of Wonder! =)
10:39 ...
10:44 Hmm, as nice as a 4-damage axe is... I'm not sure when I'll have the opportunity to Transmog a Ring of Wonder again... and I really am curious to see whether it turns into a Ring of Peace again (see Aria 15)... or just a random ring...
10:47 Transmog! Hmm, okay, looks like Transmogrifying a Ring of Wonder is just a normal Transmog (random ring)... good to know! It's probably not very useful to do most of the time, but I suppose it could be useful if you had a specific reason for wanting one of the effects that Wonder doesn't give you (Peace, War, Courage, Luck, Shielding, Darkness, Frost, Piercing, Pain, etc). ^^
10:48 Ring of Might!
10:57 Plate Armor!
12:14 Mb: Red Dragon
12:26 Ow. Oh right, unlike the spear, the axe will lunge you into the attack. =p Hmm, I guess attacking from the lamb-row might be better with the axe.
