it's showdown season XP now
@fierce light why are the characters limited in showdown? wheres takeda and akos at
they just renamed it
They're slow to add them. We were supposed to get Justina when Matron came out (~2 years ago), but we're just now getting her.
new nirriti maps btw
They shouldn't care about showdown mode since there are not many player matching in showdown
CN has like a professional scene for it iirc
Top 100 is actually hard over there
I was once check showdown in NA or EU server and there are not even top 5 player in speedrun 💀🙏🏻
SEA probably second after CN
cn, sea, eu, na
order
i forgot 5th server
and i have no idea how popular it is

asia
how do i upgrade my soul jades now>
recast
not being able to sort jades by name is some bs
using dead eye\ controller is hard
You don't enhance their sense anymore
Aw I was afraid of that
So it looks like our new base attack is 252, 20% higher than last season's.
its pretty fun tho
Got the formulas down to calc the base dmg and stuff
guys any build recommend for new update? it seems my scorch build not working anymore
grind nirriti to max lvl
then find a good build
already got windfall recasted on 1 new jade
i see i see
doing 50k damage with muskey is fun
Can confirm Wuchen's Skill only activates Ice Spike when you first cast it.
there are no curios
you have to farm again right?
so nirriti first as usual?
sadly yes
wait what's the rating?
oh no more sense lvl huh?
nope
read my last message
it's locked
What is the new meta?
ice and thunder
im supposed to go thru 472 jades one by one?
why aren't they in alphabetical order
nah, i closed the game 
*opens it backin 10min
gugu has chain defuse?
hi @fickle linden @fierce light
whats the first jade i should swap with element surge?
got a pretty good elemental surge, slowly maxing the stats on it
i have no idea. dark will help you, i just do what dark tells me to 
but sub-zero seal probably
idk what element surge even does
Tundra Might, does the same thing, but better
gugu got chain defuse?
No, it's either
- Hepta-Detach (Horizontal), which has a longer animation and does less damage than a single hit of Wuchen's Skill.
- Defuse Solve (Vertical), which has decent range and fast animation. Not much damage, but better than Hepta-Detach in every situation.
nope.. no chain defuse.. XD thank you
tundra might
thank you zero chan
What is the current best build?
Yes, but it stacks additively.
new jades
so just farm nirriti till max lvl or high enough to get em
Can confirm Poison Seep only procs on one enemy at a time. Very little hope for Poison.
why are they giving poison jade if it is useless
and they are being too generous with flux shard
Anyone going for a run on Nirriti's ruins?
Hmm
Actually Poison might not be so bad
I think you'd want to go for Dmg to Bosses
I'll do more calcs tomorrow, time to play
Lmao
It's pretty simple tbh
You only go what boosts you
Green for Thunder, Red for Poison, Blue for Ice.
oh ok xD
do we need super rare stats like 100% mod again this time around?
or 2 windfall every jade?
for ice i mean
keep us posted cs a girl is LOST
so is a new ice set updated>
💀 how he inside
had the samething, i used a bow to kill it
devs cooked something
Wow Bow feels weird on controller
Takes a while to charge dead eye in Nirriti's Ruins as well
I didn't, but it was doing this weird stance that made my sensitivity crazy high
when you hit the red circle thats the dead eye
your highlighted yellow like thunder shock
every time you hit you get the dead eye "pose"
Giờ được thêm mấy anh tanker thì đúng là hết nước chấm :v
Souljades and Potential are showing at the end of the video.

Jeez the ring selection feels worse
Ah gotcha, just don't like that it increases my sensitivity.
hi dark
how are you using your fatigues?
i wonder if spamming nitiri's ruin Hard or normal could be the way?
I thought they said they added new blessings
There's no sense cap on drops, farm what you want
range blessing
Do we know what builds are bussing this showdown season or not yet
ice build
Don't think they've changed the drop rates then, should be hard still
tessa ult?
Justina
so now we must start over again in stupid showdown?
so my frost build usseles now?
Dang looks like they really just added more junk rings
No basically just reworked
can someone explain to me why when i go now into boss there is some weird TING TING TING sounds at nittri ruins ?
well curio not work atm
Justina is so unoptimized her animations sux
getting used to is hard
- Curios are enabled for half a season.
- Every season the potential tree changes, so you can expect a shift in the meta.
u telling me to my lotus ice will work ?
Yes, you just have to get Ice Root again
Ranged already had a blessing
theres dead eye blessing for range
Your Lotus won't have an Element till you get Ice Root.
excellent drop\
What would the jade set up look like now for Lotus builds?
Wanna do topaz instead?
i think lotus build is dead
i farming crystals.. topaz has less drops of that
I see Okee
I think she's insane
Her defuse costing Stam is trash but
New boss pulling off some Naruto shi
It one shotted me in final legend stage
And my team
Was funny
Another pain in the ass boss with crazy attack skills, got wipe out in hard nitiri. It just spam wind walls and those sword waves moves 😅
how long does the season last this time? days on the showdown pass i mean
worse
Can only hope they lessen it in Yama's
eerie huanyue soon
Wow Musket is so much better than Bow
Did u get the build already?
wth, musket/bow counter has no cd?
Can u show me the complete set of Jades?
which dungeons u guys running
I feel like it's harder to aim with musket
sometime bullets just fly off-aim
lol same
Topaz solo
Lol just using it in Ruins
anyone has full anima?
Why these new bosses have a 1 shot mechanic
mean?
why can't tempered inferno be played?
men i hate when new season come
the devs are delulu if they think this is the way of designing new bosses
Anyone figured what would be the new meta/optimal build for ice yet? Or just stick with recommended?
🎉 | Mona/Aira leveled up!
new secret anima ring
Well I mean you all probably were heavily underleveled lol
what do I do with soulgems now? >_>
Can't lie ranged is pretty fun in Ruins. Even on controller
Plus the fact I'm keeping up or surpassing my teammates in damage
I was doing justina bow and its a blast
only nirriti to farm xd?

Easiest farm, need some levels to do Enigma
So basically farm Nirriti till you have enough level to do Enigma right?
Still need to unlock new jades, but need level and courage to face that stupid new boss on nightscream..
the dog according to their owner and the dog when you met them
ehh whats this 
anyone up for farming? eu server
trash drop but 0 pts ???

bruh
they make justina basically immune to freeze?
lore accurate tho
taraka immune to burn next, subscribe
@fierce light how do u rate this build?
Lol what's with this mod streak I'm getting
Yeah that's the build in the pins
Okee then I'm just missing chill spike and chain
bruh
toxin seep requires you to include alot of aegis break/defuse counter attack in your rotation
thunder charge requires you to does weapon dmg
chill spike is using skill
they clearly want to make mod builds ice exclusive
from where u can get chill chain? the only thing i saw was frostbite chain
they're the same
can someone gives me a quick rundown of the deadeye system
I outskilled my wayy there ez pz
My teammates all didn't have a life tho 
No!
I literally can’t 😂

I can gib me a sec
Deadeye builds up the more you hit a target with a ranged weapon. When you build up enough meter it turns red.
When the meter turns red, you are in deadeye state
On bosses, a target or 2 will appear on them when you have red meter.
If you hit these targets, your deadeye meter will increase. It also does more damage than regular shots. Headshots still do more than deadeye, so it's important to mix
is 2x windfall useless?
If you charge till the second stage, right at a certain time, bow and musket can do a special aegis break move when deadeye is full
Headshots can stagger with full deadeye on bosses
(I think, it might be something else causing bosses to stagger not 100%)
Potential glyphs boost deadeye, so do Anima rings
that's the fun part
^
Good enough rundown?
whats funy there?
the bosses being more challenging at the start idk i find it more fun than the endgame of just trying to get a better time on paragon 20
Ruins isn't snooze for now and running legend is fun again
ohhh the red points only appear on bosses
so basically just pew pew when got red pew pew the red

Ye, but also sometimes head shots cause they still do more damage
You just wanna keep your meter up by hitting the targets
and only headshots can stagger bosses right?
Bow is crazy fun
@fierce light How can we fast up Showdown level? Do u know?
Pretty sure yes
I kept a boss permanently staggered for a round doing this
Super fun
Dude just kept flinching
wish they increase the firerate during deadeye status
also gives us unlimited dodge
so i can turn into a m61 vulcan
I can believe that, nightscream nearly as hard as I thought it would be at only 8 score. lol
Bow ruins build is so fun that I want a thunder bow build
Also justinas an f merchant her ult is so mid. It's cool she has unlimited healing but dodge defuse and no ult makes her eh.
Her f is an instant thunder accum like tarka and matari, but idk whyd you play her over tessa
@balmy coral you were right I was just high off self healing and bow
Ye and technically much easier to play her with bow in nirriti
but ngl bow is so boring .. I don't feel the thrill without difuse and parry
lol, HOW WHY, i just got 2 purple
Bow has parry
Can't get too close I'm not used to it haha
this would've been very useful for the entirety of last season
the lotus pollution on the screen 😭 and Tessa's fox curio
What's the last anime ring for ranged?
Do I need a specific element like the toxic lotus?
Thanks, no special conditions to get this one? Just keep rolling ranged?
ehm... yes
lol didnt see this... are we supposed to on or off?
in setting but idk should on or off cuz i can't see what change
i'm done in new build =))
Which difficulty of Niritis?
wtf
drop rate
u rich so you'd be
still have some frag + crystal

this screenshot told me to farm more
w8 chinese in best ranged build i'll use last

i feel like hepta detach should heal a bit more to make up for the fact it ain't doing barely any damage
76k
yea
need more heal
base dmg just 4 =))
Any ppl a fan of this showdown rework? Seems like a pain in the ass to me
It's aight
Wouldve liked it better if they kept sens level
lol there's a naraka ball stage in Nirriti
I checked drop rate
Doesn't tell me which Souljades drop on that menu
Or at least the new Soulajdes
I mean
At the beginning of each season before you had to grind sense level anyway
A very small amount
It's more or less the same
It was pretty significant
Sense stayed the same, just the cap increased
Also i cant even play the modes i had unlocked in previous seasons
Anyone know the meta poison build?
Cuz low level
The amount you had to grind up was more or less the samr
Again, happens every season
Ye now they reset u basically
Almost
I honestly think they lost me with this update . I'll still play survival modes tho. But not showdown
Idk, it's kinda not fun to chase a build for the entire season, and when you finally get close to completion, the entire thing gets flipped
Exactly
Again
Happens literally every season since 1.0
You guys seem to be new to this
Fair
I've no clue how anyone can have stacks of unused fragments
Even one stack would be crazy
Even 500 unused fragments honestly
Already having double Rares is a big one
On base Souljades like Thundercounter and Thunderpull
If you have those, you basically save half the fragments needed in a season
This will be my third season, I managed to get semi-good thunderscorch and basically 99% completed ilm
But I'm bone dry on fragments
Scorch damage modifiers keep getting sacked lol
And now once again new jades, lotus goes in the bin, by the time I'll get the new stuff finished I won't even have time to enjoy it
Very unlucky investment
Opposite for me, carved crystals are the big bottleneck for me
Maybe I spent a bit too much in niritti
Basically
After you finish Season Quests and Anima Ring Collection you swap to Enigma
Usually you'd want to do gold keys for peak
The other thing you'd do is Inferno
Both give you a lot more Fragments than Nirritis
wtf this skin is of heng sword
I did inferno exclusively since it came out
Looks like a musket skin to me
Unfortunately, Inferno still is a lot less than Enigma
But also not limited by keys
I just used brown keys the entire last season and got more fragments than I could have gotten in enigma
i though it was of longsword
wait wtf
ngl i just realized this too
it looks like a ls skin
What is your build?
need last windfall
i think backfire + Desperation + Quick Attack
not sure if have Outrage
What nodes in potential should I focus on for ice build?
I see I don't have those anymore
Thank you 

NEW NIRRITI MAPS ARE ANNOYING AF
hey, wanna rent my heroes =))
Ikr?!
So whats the new best build guys?
🎉 | powerholzi leveled up!
bro it's like they tried their best to make the run as long as possible so we need to spend more time playing showdown
Instead, they could just change the fatigue limit and simply have people play more matches if they wanted to max out
But noooo
They want us to suffer.
And all we want is suffer no demon

How yall gonna ruin showdown..
Tbf I didnt like it to begin with but what the heeeeel

Does new ice build easy to play? I see frostbite accumulation is quiet fast
This new ice build is so strong probably x2 than the old popular one
ehm... i think x2 or x3
why the dead eye spot of manticore is only in its tail ???
what they were even thinking??


nightscream nirriti
Tbh they ruined showdown like 1.5 yrs ago
Ye for seasonal
Used to be so much fun
just need go hard for fast run
hello any suggestion for potential tree for zipping and justina
I was new lol so this was all I knew
Showdown was soooooo good
It was skill based
Like is poison still a thing or did we move elements i feel lost af
It would take weeks fmto get a single purple jade if u played 60 hrs a week
So no one have builds
Good xD I was pulling 6mil in trios
But like why remove sense requirements and change it to levels that take weeks to aquire it defeats the purpose 
I haven't looked at update
I miss showdown but its too casual these days
Grinded my way to 1k sense and bam back to beginning cause it change to showdown level
When it was literally brutal and skill based it was exhilarating to get a perfect run and top the board
Yeah I just broken 1100 sense last season. . I was 900 something for seasons
Like why change it? I just dont understand who had this dumb idea
souljade dont have levels anymore ???
If u remove the lotus from the poison build it could be usable.
won't be as good as ice thou
I heard poisen is the only thing that keeps lotus
"Only Lotus build that will remain in Season 3.0 is currently Poison because Core Poison is more passive with focus on piling DoTs and the increased attack buff. Lotus Poison has better DPS than Core Lotus due to the bursty nature of the Ghastbloom Chains."
Lotus on poison got badly nerfed
anyone test ice bow or thunder bow is better?
I hope thunder
maybe
Probably if someone could test and sweep these new two poison Jade into the build
So whats the new best ice build can someone send a pic?
you can go training
Poison Lotus Surge
- Pestilent Pool
- Element Surge
- Toxin Seep
- Toxified Chain
- Toxified Lotus
- Ghastbloom
From what I was told idk if it's good
My source is good tho
Ye removing the venomous lotus was a good idea and could work.
Venomous will probably make a comeback with curios if they are the same but idk
remove GGhastbloom too
Wouldn't be lotus if you removed it tbh. On poisen I've heard it's still required
But idk it's early season
It's not mine
lol
This is just what I was told from some good showdown gamers
But it's early season
Who knows
maybe but this season just 3 months
I wish thunder scorch worked with bow
Isn't feasible tho unfortunately
Can't get the proc without swaping to melee
Maybe if I do some wep swap tech
Ranged would need to be crazy worth in dps
Seems like wayy to much work tho, would have to be like swap pre divine thunder, or parry, c swap h, parry dodge, attack dodge
All in a sequence
Then swap back to range
With trios desync/delay yeah right
they nerf burn dmg
so hard to do with scorch

Eh the nerf for burn is overblown a bit
Dark Zero added the builds in the pinned
Did they fix the jade elemental surge? I was testing it yesterday and it doesn't work with thunder and poison
Yesterday = today at dawn
what the heck is elemental surge do :3, and surge > flower now right
what is max showdown lvl? 100?
lol just 1

We went from 700 to 1120 last season iirc. It was always more than 100 levels.
Hey man, can you tell me if they fixed this?
This
Yeah every Counterstrike, except Valda's and Ziping's has more than 10x Attack scaling. If not that, usually 2 charged attacks will do.
Yeah, is why I was telling him it's not different this season the grind time is about the same to get to max.
There's no trick this time other than just spending your fatigue.
Oh it heals? I was wondering why it only has 20% Attack scaling. Hits weaker than Wuchen's Skill lol.
do u test in training?
Element Surge is compatible with all the old builds at least.
No, I already dropped one and went to a Yama Abyss to test it. I can't activate Toxin Surge and Thunder Surge, only the ice one.
@fierce light do you already know about some new possible souljade builds and potential? Will u update soon the website too?
It took 2 weeks to reach max sense all the other seasons, still the case now. You can reach 75 this week and 100 the next.
Not really, cause people still got lucky with the builds and you simply couldn't compete if they had a strong one. The rng was just that bad. Now it's just a matter of if you put the time in.
That was towards the end of the inital cycle, and you're right. I had a 99% shotgun viper build which was lots of luck
And heaps of playtime
Not sure what you mean. In free training? You just have to select the different element for it.
The first 6+months most people didn't even have full purples
Yeah
I enjoyed it tbh
When we got top times it was skill
I understand why they changed it
still work normally
Old recasting system was so complicated to game, but anyone who watched CN videos or had good statistics knowledge would have an advantage
Yes
@west crater i think u need change element core
Tbf still kind of like that, at least for a minute
They likely had the wrong Wielding on their Element Surge
How did showdown changes feel this update?
Good
do you have % of Frostbite Chain?
15 stacks is too long
System consolidation, streamlined processes, easier for first timers
That's good
if it not strong so i can replace it with Element Rush
Yeah game is probably the most beginner friendly it's been
I have newer player ask for help in showdown alot
It wasn't skill, it was a lot of luck in the extremes. If you had a good build you would always have the advantage over a top skilled player with a sacked build.
There were no builds
@fierce light
There were before the season systems started. Zero made an entire guide on how to setup and build with that awful Quench Crystal system
It's the same now if you don't use choice Souljade gifts
The drop rates are still awful like they were before
I play one match I get 2 golds 3 purples
Back then you would play 1000 matches without seeing a purple
Are you talking about Nirritis?
hi, whats the way to lvl up now sense lvl has been reset?
Because Enigma and Normal story (which was what pre-Seasonal Showdown was) still have piss poor rates
Even the quests huck jades at players now
builds are in pinned messages
It's Showdown levels, just run Nirritis
And I have over 400 souljade jgifts in inventory
Sounds like a you issue.
alright thank you, do you know anything about potentials or has someone gave any ideas about one ?
oki thank you ^^
I don't miss only being able to play on weekends. I don't miss the frustrating grind to get decent jades to be even a little viable, I don't miss the awful Quench Crystal system that was really bad RNG
They are not even in same universe
They are the same
Lmao ok
Nirritis and Quests are not included in the comparison
not sure about potentials but im sure in the next week some might appear in the recommended or itll be posted here
Nirritis and Quests improved jade farming tremendously.
okay thanks a lot !
You obviously didn't play showdown before it was made casual thats ok
I'm not going to argue with you
But if you decided to not do quests and do Enigma and Story only the rates are really bad.
np ^^
New possible builds are in the pins, it'll be a while till I can confirm which are best though
I did lmfao but sure buddy
alrighty
Guy argues extreme variance RNG is a skill based game lmfao
What does grant additional 3 Blessings mean here?
Ex: 9/12 u get this anima it will grant to 12/12
ooooooo
So its accelerates the Blessing so you don't have to spend as many anima rings on the trait OR it's clutch to finish a build in harder levels like NS and up.
Nice nice, I assume every trait now has that.
It was skill because no one had builds
I read it, but I didn't quite understand the wordage because I forgot that the 4 and 8 same anima ring perk is called blessings
You're obviously too new to understand
People did have builds
Lmao
Sure not everyone had perfect builds
U talking out of your ass
but the top 20 had builds.
I'm talking first 6 months
I'm not you arse
There were 0 builds
The first 6 months of Showdown?
Bro I thought you were talking about the few months before Seasons. The first 6 months ofc there are no builds, the game literally started
Idk
That's why I smoke u
First 6 months was mainly Backfire + Desperation
And that's if someone had it
Cause back then every attack and DMG Bonus you had was multiplicative
It was pretty broken, especially if you rolled good attributes.
Literally every new game that comes out is the wild west and there's not defined meta build.
Couldn't compete with someone, I remember Douya having a cracked build that early
And was out damaging everyone on Viper easily
This was my point
So then why u spend an hr arguing against me when u agree
Dumb asf
Because I'm disagreeing that the streamlined processes and new systems that make it a lot more accessible are trash are not trash, they're actually good things
If you want a sandbox game with infinite powerscaling and "skill based" play it wasn't Showdown for sure lmao.
I don't think u understand wut u saying
Your literally saying points that are countering each other
I do, you're basically arguing extreme RNG variance builds was a good thing. Because not a lot of people could get them, meaning you had a shot at "being skilled" and taking a spot on the leaderboards for speedrun.
I fixed it for you
See moka was right again
English is obviously not your first language because you can't understand implied meaning
Moka is an idiot who refers to himself in the third person like a child.
You impled the changes are bad
No you're just arguing grammar semantics at this point.
Have a good day
Yeah, go fark yourself too with your 4 alt accounts.
U not worth the effort since u can't even form thoughts
You're so autistic, you literally can only do simple inputs/outputs like a computer program
fark man
nah bro I'm chillin
Was talkin bout you, but if it makes it easier for you bro
U ass at showdown just like in br
hmmm, so Ice Spike or Element Rush is better?
You never played with me lmao
Nice bro? I guess?
You managed to beat a bunch of casual solars?
In Showdown lol?
Yes
Then I think you, Rouge and I all had bf desp
Hello! Are any builds already figured out for the new season?
In the pins, but still WIP
Zer0 will update them as soon as he does more testing
I'm interested in any builds utilizing 100% moderation if there are any
Ice
Ice Spike. It's pretty much Arcane Thunder on steroids. But it has a cooldown.
Chill Spike or Ice Spike or are they the same?
Same thing
Not that many jades were added
Don't you need both?
No u can't
Why not? I thought you just use Depths, Successive, Frozen Blast, Element Rush, Ice Spike, and Frostbite Chain?
Or did the builds shift again now because of the potentials and live changes?
where your Element Surge?
Element Rush/Element Surge are different jades?
yes
Element Rush is the purple jade
I didn't realize, assumed it was a translation thing like Chill/Ice Spike
hmm isn't there potential that pops off for surge/rush or am I mistaken?
oh forget it =))
is topaz solo first 3 bosses still the best way to level up sense?
oof
Imagine Sub-Zero Seal just being meta for more than 3 seasons lmao
hello , how does one trigger yin yang blessings. I just cant seem to figure it out
Just retested Ice Thorn's damage, it has a 9.1 multiplier instead of 7.0. They increased it from the Test Server by 30%.
I have 100% on my Frozen Blast and Successive Ice Blast. I also have wildfall on Element Surge and Depth Blast. What should I put on the last 2 slots for Ice build?
It now deals the damage of ~4.64 Blossom Blasts
Which one? The one that increases luck by 1000+ or the Nirriti's Blessing?
I believe Yin Yang blessing is over, Curios are outdated
Could be talking about the one in Nirriti's where you have to use a regular attack into charged attack or vice versa to pop the Yin-Yang AoE
nice
Scorching that's less than your current
RNG loves you
Please don't tell me that the ice build requires scorching now 😓
It's 100% mod
4 mod 8 WF
good
Ice Spike is a lotta damage lol
Looks like Lightning will be a Windfall Meta again lmao
Dang ima have to retest all this stuff, I'm getting different numbers than they did in CN
Ice Lotus got nerfed even harder than it was
blessings
is the grind now to just lvl up showdown lvl to max through niritti?
Wasn't all the damage frontloaded into the Potentials?
8 WF is for super rich, I'm not so rich, so I only use 1 WF and dmg to boss, attack and ice blast dmg per souljade.
You need a Yin Anima Ring and a Yang Anima Ring that actually adds an additional effect to your attacks.
how do i actually trigger it , i had like 12 rings of that attr , but couldnt trigger it at all
Once you have those, its just popping a Charged Attack into an Normal Attack or Vice Versa then the Yin-Yang AoE will pop
Not really, the big ones are still at the edges
oo... thanks so much
Aegis Break skills count as normal attacks
help me this
Last season was all about lotuses. I put away my maxed out Lotus jades for next seasons, I think they might become viable again in the next season.
So most people will just Charged into an Aegis Break and Yin-Yang should pop
yo watssup scorching
Another one of my Chamber Mates did this
Bro that's the 5th time.
this 5
That's what I meant sorry, brain farted
Just hit the first level of Blessing on 6 different anima ring type
its not hard if you focus Currency Blessings (except for Might which burns your gold) and then use the excess wealth to purchase different types of anime rings
ah undersdtand
I figured that they nerfed the shit out of Hydroflare and TScorch from Seasons 1.5 and 2.0, they would probably nerf Ghastbloom and fark people's meta builds.
The only consistent thing they've kept are "Core" Elemental Souljades.
For DT that's Thunderpull and Thundercounter. For Ice its Successive Ice Blase and a toss up between Frozen Blast and Depths Blast.
Those are probably the safest investments for rares
For Poison it's still in flux, but Pestilent Pool seems to be consistent across all Poison builds so far.
45 fatigue from nirriti gives me 225 exp with 50% bonus @150%
It's criminal they are pushing away it's viability
It's probably because it ignores Aegis which is a big thing in Yama's
Since you realistically can't break it.
It wasn't even good last patch because they added curios to super charge lotus
It's kinda weird though, they nerfed Scorching specifically while Poison still exists and ignores Aegis. Also Lotuses just dealt so much elemental damage past Aegis it's basically brute forcing.
Here are the new Lotus numbers vs the old. They nerfed it by almost 2/3rds.
i feel like you simply get more exp when you drain more fatigue?
Water is wet lmao
Jesus
that's awful, entire investments scream into the void only to meet silence
i mean you dont have to run topaz 3 bosses for maximum exp per fatigue efficiency anymore
Yeah because they merged Sense and Potential.
Perfect run solos, downed 0 times, good boss rng, I could only get a 3 min time with TLS. Ice build? Easy 1:30, considerably less effort.
Nirritis was still king for Potential Leveling, but sucked ass at Sense Levels
Now they're merged, but they kept the exp scaling for Nirritis so people don't need to run Enigma
Like what's the point of scorching now, other than just griefing your rolls?
ok ill just spam nirritis, topaz bosses are cancer this season
Hi guys, just got back from the game, is thunder scorch still the best build late game wise? Am hesitant to do a new build
It looks like the pipeline they're currently trying to build is play Nirriti's for Fire Forge/Showdown Level/Carved Crystal, then swap to Enigma for Souljades, then farm Inferno to then get Curios and finish off with Yama 20
No but it's fine to use for now
Not anymore, it's a viable build, but won't be highest DPS for Yama rankings.
I can solo enigma and up to solar 2 on a 50 level deficient
thanks, what's leading rn? Lotus?
Probably ice charge
Indeed
But it's still too early
I feel like they should just redo burn and scorching
as well as hydroscorch
just turn it into its own element Fire
and give it a slightly different twist to DoT mechanics compared to poison
I see, okay, i'll keep a lookout on what's new
I just wish they would keep things viable. There will always be 1-2 best builds, but everything should be close enough
Lotus got sacked too, the damage has been reduced by basically 66% across the board.
Remember skyfire
Elemental Surge/Rush builds with their accompanying Jades are the meta rn
Alright all my numbers on the spreadsheet should be up to date now
It's a pattern
Make it so its not so egregious. Like if you can get 1:30 clear with Ice make it so Scorching can do like 1:40ish
100%
Oh man, only Wuchen could pull it off
I'll do some parses later, but that buff to Ice Spike is looking like Ice is definitely the meta
ah fudge, I was looking at Dark Zero's site and thought nothing much changed, okay I better just grind for now and see what's the current meta
Scorching got nerfed less than Lotus
I correctly predicted this pattern since Hydroflare.
Carry when? 
It feels playable
It was nerfed hard last season so it's not as bad this time around so you can still play it
But I know the new charge stuff will blow it out
HydroFlare DMG is at most 45% weaker than before. Lotus is ~60-65% weaker.
looks like they make all old season build viable, but not leaderboard viable.
whattttttttttttttt
noway
But is it 45% weaker than last season OR from its inception?
Well element dmg (Thunder Counter, Ice Blast, etc) not being nerfed probably makes it about even.
Yeah so cumulatively it's probably similar to Lotus right now.
Except I'm p sure Surge builds slam both
And ranged builds too
Meaning it looks like the pattern now is they push out a new Jade mechanic like Hydroflare, Lotuses, and Surge now. Then they'll nerf it the next season. Looks like base element build jades like Thunder Counter, Successive Ice Blast are stable investments for rares.
Wouldn't be surprised if they nerf ranged with surge next season
Do you have a bar graph for Lotus' changes
Not a fan of that pattern. People will build new builds and play showdown. You don't need to cycle out older builds to get people to grind.
If we compare Lotus's change to Scorching's 1.5 to 3.0 we should see similar %'s
I'm not either. I get it gets engagement, but artificially making that engagement is no bueno
Whenever 
I need the topaz or a nighscteam girl to unlock the chill spike, im missing only this 
I do too
But stuck in office. Not enough time to play new update.
That's new ice meta?
Here you go:
not yet
i need the other jade
to replace subzero
but i haven't got it
Frostbound?
Frostbound won't work without Elemental Lotus
So which one is
this one
new jades are farmed from chapter7?
dang so basically is a new set of jades lmao
They pretty much lined up the intended builds in free training
3 old 3 new
gonna be a pain in the ass trying to get perfect mod and windfall again
Why they do that? now lotus is useless right?
I feel u
ice surge is same old 4x mod 8x wf?
should be
yes
new ice heavily favor using skills
so mod is a must
and most of its dmg is still from ice blast so yeah windfall where you can
ice jade literally tell you to use your skill lol
while poison is using aegis break/defuse counter attack and thunder is using weapon attack
looks like thunder and poison doesn't need, or even doesn't want 100% mod
they need more windfall
Is Elemental Rush better than Sub Zero?
it's not
rip, the end result coeffcients are the same, but the ratio nerf is much higher than Scorching builds.
5% less Attack, no
Lotus had not only a harder drop than Scorching, it happened in literally one Season.
So we went from powerful Lotus spammers, to now as weak as Scorch
But in game it feels much much worse since we're looking at an almost 3.0 coefficient loss in one season vs Scorch's 1.5 over two seasons.
Weaker most likely
The bar chart for Burn/HydroFlare is for the DMG Bonus, the coefficients for it haven't changed though. So it still has crazy high base damage.
Oh I see, thanks for the clarification
So Lotus is even worse because it doesn't have the base numbers lmaoooo
Question, the curios are inactive right?
Scorching builds woulda been king last patch if curios didn't 180 the meta
With Zer0's correction yep
Tarka Enrage lol
Yes, but if you had the luck bonus activated, its still active this season
Even without the absurd tarka build, the bonuses to elemental accumulation and blossom blast was too much
I feel like Thunder Lotus was in a really good spot
Regular TL I think
Was like TP, TC, TP, TL, ThunderousLotus, and MLC
it wasn't broken bonkers like Ice or even Poison
but felt good to play and pilot and rewarded good skill
I think that build had higher scaling than both
Damn the potential plan reset as well?
sad it got nerf.
Probably did, but people never used it
Mod is just too strong with successive ice blast
Now with Successive and Spike your skill is never on CD
especially for Justina who ignore freeze and scales off of ice or at least that's what I heard someone say
Eh justina can't freeze bosses
Doesn't really have any self ice things as far as I'm aware
Her f is good
It resets every season
But worse than tarka f or tessa, or even matari
Justina, while fun, is no zip release
Oh I didn’t know, this was my first season playing showdown
Is Zippy still queen of Showdown?
I haven't been able to test this morning, quickly did dailies before I had to catch my bus for work
Idk depends on builds. Will still probably be a top tier tho
I saw a video in CN saying she scales from Ice
I wonder if some CN players are bullshitting
Is it from the hidden bonuses in ult?
But so far it just looks like she benefits from a free Moderation from being frozen
Probably best way to test is too see if she deals more damage in V and F hit with and without Ice Element Damage substats
To see if she truly scales
Otherwise she just has better synergy with Ice than other elements because she can just F out of a badly timed freeze
Bottom was with Frozen Blast + Depth's Blast.
Top was with nothing
But which parts of her? Just F/V or includes her damage.
what the fuck
that's double
Yeah +95% Ice Blast DMG
That’s been a challenge
No wonder my Justina cleared Solar so much faster than Ziping lol
same build?
Both running Ice?
If they are that's massive, basically meta has shifted to Justina only DPS
+0 Ice-Wielding lol
basically it will be Zippy, Kuwumba, Justina comp with everyone super soldiering Justina
bro this is actually huge
So basically meta is specifically Justina + Ice Build for first time clearing.
Her Skill isn't affected, just her Ultimate
its a bug
i completed nightscream but it didnt complete
If that's the case, I wonder if its better to run Rage substats on her or wait for Curios?
I figured it had to be in her ult. It's the altered aegis breaks right?
10% is a lot smaller than you think. You basically have to be at sub 10% when the final boss dies
The best way to do this is get that Green Scroll Rare Perk that increases attack but constantly degenerates HP
And just don't die
Ziping and Kurumis will mess your runs
so its better to just run solo as Wuchen or a safer hero and get that perk
ahshit
Doesn't appear to be affected either.
Yeah it's not 10% once during the run, it's less than 10% as soon as the finall boss dies
hmm
Okay it's big, but not as big as I thought
Yeah that challenge is pretty difficult since they nerfed poison.
So could it also be a hinderance to Justina if she doesn't land her ulti?
Yeah if anything sits in your Ultimate, that's a lot of damage
Like if you create the AoE and Korvine decides to fly out
yeah just I thought
