Crypt of the NecroDancer: Dead Ringer Strategies
Crypt of the NecroDancer: Dead Ringer Strategies
DR himself has 2 types of spawns (Left/Right)
1 turn ≒ 0.43 sec ("For Whom the Knell Tolls" is 140bpm.)
I tried only few times for "Turn Consumption". "Consistency" is very subjective. And both depends on builds and your skills. Don't trust it.
Right Spawn Only
Avg. Turn Consumption: 33
Consistency: Very High
"Easy...Left Side...Scoots!!!"
Left Spawn Only
Avg. Turn Consumption: 37 (success) / 42 (ping pong x1)
Consistency: ??? (Mediocre - High at least)
Easier with Bomb/Pulse.
↑middle enter↓left enter
Left Spawn Only
Avg. Turn Consumption: 38 (success) / 47 (ping pong)
Consistency: High (?)
Avg. Turn Consumption: 51
Consistency: Very High (with enough practice)
Useful especially on races/multichar runs.
↑Left Spawn ↓Right Spawn
Turn Consumption: 31 (at best) - 40
Consistency: Very High
Diagonal teleport/rider block needs few adjustments.
Turn Consumption: 31 - 40
Consistency: Very High
Almost the same as double earth.
Turn Consumption: 28 (with autodig) / 36 (without autodig) / A lot (bad teleport)
Consistency: High
Faster than Japanese/Oblivion even without autodig.
Turn Consumption: 23 (earth meme with autodig)/ 25-29 (double earth with autodig)/ 29 (earth meme without autodig)
Consistency: High (earth meme) / Very High (double earth)
↑Earth Meme ↓Double Earth
Turn Consumption: 27 (upbro)
Consistency: 100%
Leftbro/rightbro costs few more beats against the opposite spawn.
Turn Consumption: 24-27
Consistency: Very High
Enter from middle, go straight.
Turn Consumption: 26 (snowbro)/ 23-26 (freeze)
Consistency: 100% (snowbro)/ Very High (freeze)
↑Snowbro ↓Freeze
Turn Consumption: 25-27 (dagger range)
Consistency: Very High
"Dino damage" means 10+ damage.
On second phase, you need to decide whether to hit DR again or make DR charge to the gong.
↑Dino Damage/Safer ↓Phasing Dagger/Faster
Turn Consumption: 27-32 (2 range)
Consistency: Very High
Avg. Turn Consumption: 30 (axe)
Consistency: Mediocre
Minibosses form bells don't drop gold even with golden weapons.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 28 (success)
Consistency: Mediocre
For left spawn, enter from left.
For right spawn, enter from middle.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 28
Consistency: High
Don't try to use mana-bomb on the bottom, or second phase will be too dangerous.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 24
Consistency: Very High
You can open the door with earthquake.
Turn Consumption: 34
Consistency: Low
Looks useless for right spawn.
Probably useful for left spawn if you want to go really fast.
You can lure DR to the bottom 2 bells, but it's slower than Japanese/Oblivion.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 29
Consistency: Low (High version by monster: https://discord.com/channels/669027034973995047/669039911575224321/853126916663541781)
Avg. Turn Consumption: 30
Consistency: Low
Avg. Turn Consumption: 32
Consistency: Very High
Avg. Turn Consumption: 34
Consistency: Mediocre
Left spawn one is faster and safer than Japanese/Oblivion.
Left spawn
Avg. Turn Consumption: 39
Consistency: Very High
As fast as successful Japanese/Oblivion, and safer.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 41
Consistency: High
Oblivion/Japanese with frail is very difficult. You need to use this or below instead.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 41

Oblivion/Japanese with frail is very difficult. You need to use this or above instead.
Avg. Turn Consumption: 48
Consistency: Very High
Avg. Turn Consumption: 25 (success)/ -30 (bad enemies spawn)
Consistency: High
Available for both spawn.
Easy with dagger-range weapons, spear, longsword, cutlass, bow.
Available for axe/hammer with few adjustments.
For left spawn, left/double rider breaks this strat.
Turn Consumption: 25
Consistency: 100% (No darkness)/Doesn't work for mage spawn (with darkness)
Available for both spawn/condor zoom.
Mindless with dagger-range weapons, axe, spear/longsword/cutlass, bow.
Difficult but usable with 2+ damage cat.
This can fail with darkness active (or with shadow ring) + mage spawn. (Mages have 0 activation range; without wall torchs they won't move.)
Not available for broadsword/hammer (unlike Tufwfo's strat).
lith found easy fix for mage spawn with 1 bomb: See here.
Turn Consumption: 22/25 (left rider)
Consistency: Very High
Works even for hammer.
Turn Consumption: 22
Consistency: High
Turn Consumption: 24-32
Consistency: Very High
Not available for darkness/condor zoom.
Available for left spawn with few adjustments. (Unlike my video, you can stay 2 tile away from gong to lunge directly into stairs.)
Avg. Turn Consumption: 19-20
Consistency: High (?)
Without blast helm/bomb charm, sometimes you need to tank your bomb.
Used in Grimmy's preDLC Cadence seeded WR.
Turn Consumption: 13-17
Consistency: Very High
Second Fastest DR strat.
Turn Consumption: 12
Consistency: Very High
Fastest DR strat. Found by dkienenb.
(This can be still faster by cap or dino damage axe courage.)
