biggest pro tip

#

spam obliterate hammers on wave 7

#

and yushan bladestorm is best single target dmg

#

and the laser for 20k is the biggest piece of dogshit i've seen

fierce light
#

The laser increases damage dealt from all sources for 20s iirc

#

So you want to use that first

tough dagger
#

Anyone know the fastest way to gain showdown levels?

i had like 20 spare ones so i used a few to get to 100 asap and end with the grind

#

nothing to waste it on rn tho

#

with domains speedruns and inferno unavailable

fierce light
#

Waste to use Elixirs just to gain levels

#

Something that can be done passively just doing the seasonal challenges.

crimson cave
#

i can see that it potentially save you 3 extra golden keys per elixir

#

but thats it?

#

or am i missing something

quaint girder
# crimson cave but thats it?

That's pretty much it. Basically you're min-maxing your Gold Key efficiency to get a full stack of rares by end of season.

#

Getting Rares Setup helps you setup for later seasons

fierce light
#

Rather use it during the dry periods or for Peak to double the value of Gold Rune Keys.

Yeah I learned lol. I was just trying to see if if was viable to make a mixbuild like ice lotus chain for thunder but nope. Thunder surge is very boring. Think I'm going to make a thunder lotus build. Is it super bad compared to ice or just somewhat behind?

hidden creek
#

i mean it's totally functionable but

#

it's just not good

#

cuz it take you too long to fill ur thunderbar

fierce light
#

Ice just has a lot of advantages right now, even as an Ice-Thunder build. Even for the new Chain Crush, Ice does over 50% more than Thunder's.

#

Thunder Lotus also got nerfed the hardest with the removal of Epiphany and nerfs to Lotus-based damage.

hidden creek
#

am wating for Dark to test this build but this is still an ice lotus build lol, just spawning lotuses with parries instead of ice blasts

#

with less lotus spawning but more chain crush

#

compare to ILC

#

as for thunder lotus builds they doesn't looks good, all of them

#

except maybe thunder lotus surge with scorching (?), though i doubt that it's worth it nvm thunder surge scorching doesn't run lotus

fierce light
#

Likely not, since if the negative burn dmg is multiplicative, it would be the same as having no scaling lol

#

I mean 54x base scaling per Scorching is still nice.

hidden creek
#

less lotus spawning but you gain access to divine thunder dmg

Wow they did it at lv. 92, should be possible to do 20s probably.

fierce light

anything is possible when you get carried by bow builds

balmy coral

#

same

#

gotta build a bow

#

still need 2 souljades

fierce light
#

I just used Frost Surge since I wanted to see how fast is possible

#

17s vs 13s on Bow

river stratus
#

so we can say bow dps are higher than frost surge dps if you shot without interrupiton?

fierce light
#

For the next couple stages though, Frost Surge might perform better

timid stirrup
#

will those times still b like that after the deadeye bug fix

river stratus
#

slower for sure

fierce light
#

Think it needs at least 30s to equalize

#

If you have at least 8% Deadeye Rate, it should take 3x Stage 2 Shots to activate Deadeye. Think that takes around 10s.

river stratus
#

ok👌🏻

Don’t think 21 could be much faster in solo tho

Maybe around 1 or 2 seconds

#

Matari doesn’t trigger ice with 2 hits now without curio

Yeah that 3rd hit makes it take much longer

#

Frost Surge going to be better with Curios

It's still called that. But you get it by going to the Narakapedia and then to the Commemorative tab. There you can claim it for like 2 jade fragments

#

I request dev/game need has action afk player in nirriti ruin or showdown mode

#

That made this game so trash and boring

lone umbra
#

But I guess it is not enough

fierce light
#

Yeah, leading to a ban eventually

crimson cave
#

i think they reduce rep if they leave

#

if they staying doing nothing idk

#

i had 1 afker in domain trios reported him

#

idk if that helps

fierce light
#

There used to be a strat where one person would clear it while the other 2 afk and all 3 take turns. But when they first implemented the punishment system it was pretty harsh.

tranquil beacon
crimson cave
#

thats why I guess

fierce light
#

Kinda weird it does it if the whole team afk's

#

They should probably implement a pause feature

amber terrace
#

damm, before that i met 10-15 afk player in nirriti ruin

then TI release, that help me so much

in this one i got 13 inc boon

12 w/o

chrome seal
timid stirrup

lotus boon only counts as 1

#

so even tho it says 12/12 technically its only 10/12

#

u should still grab more lotus anima after getting boon just to be safe

Yeah the quest isn't looking for Blessing II, but rather 12 rings

Hasn't even been a patch since the new season started yet, so no

hidden creek
#

upcoming poison and thunder buff doesn't looks so good either

#

from what i see it thunder is only good on perma ult monk

other than that eh
even the tsurge musket build shouldn't be called thunder musket, it's a DT parry build

where's the best place to farm elemental surge and chil spike? just unlock them

fierce light
fierce light
#

Just tried Toxin Surge on Kurumi & Wuchen in Yama's, it actually feels pretty decent.

#

The Toxin Blasts and Toxin Chains help with the accumulation

timid stirrup
#

no luck on a toxic lotus chain build huh?

hidden creek
#

well it was always decent
the question always was ''is it good enough to compete with ice''

#

and the answer is likely not

#

specially when infectious touch became useless

timid stirrup
hidden creek
#

idk why it's there

#

lol

#

once you entered surge state you can't build poison on yourself anymore
so there's no toxified stack to transfer aside from the one you got before surge state, so the jade only contribute 2 toxified stacks per ~20 seconds

#

well it's not entirely useless ig

#

but less effective

fierce light
fierce light
#

It'll be more windows when up against multiple targets

#

I'll try it with Lotus later when my little nephew is asleep

hidden creek
fierce light
hidden creek
#

doubt it could even compete with ILC

fierce light
#

Kurumi likely going to ILC when her Curio is out

#

ILC worse for them at the moment

hidden creek
#

and i don't mention mobbing because you can just run ILC build which shares 4 jades with ice surge build

#

no matter how you look at it, investing in a poison build is the worst decision at the moment

fierce light
#

You don't accumulate much element when you're spamming Aegis-Breaks.

hidden creek
#

what's the difference when you can't build poison on yourself during poison surge?

#

even if you proc poison blast earlier, pool happens earlier but you don't get toxified then what is the use of infectious touch?

fierce light
fierce light
hidden creek
#

are we even talking about the same jade?

plain spire
#

anyone tried this bow build 2 charge shot makes toxin explosion, it's good on training don't know in real gameplay

hidden creek
#

how do you even get infectious touch to works when you don't even get toxified for 2 stacks of toxified every 15s?

fierce light
# hidden creek are we even talking about the same jade?

Yeah.

  1. Poison Blast activates Noxious Blast & Pestilent Pool.
    -# Noxious Blast +1 [Toxified]
    -# Pestilent Pool +1 × 2 [Toxified]
  2. Pestilent Pool let's you activate Infectious Touch 50% of the time against a single target.
    -# Infectious Touch +2 [Toxified]

Infectious Touch becomes less effective the more targets there are due to it having a 15s cooldown from Toxin Surge.

#

Basically not worth considering if you're planning on mobbing

hidden creek
#

then how does it gives you 2 toxified stacks every 15s?

fierce light
hidden creek
#

yeah, and the rotation lasts for 30s

#

so it took 30s from the 1st time infectious touch active to the 2nd time it active

#

so +2 toxified stacks every 30 seconds, correct?

fierce light
#

Yeah, I'm basing it off the number of Poison Blasts, rather than time. Noxious Blast & Pestilent Pool both are dependant on the number of Poison Blasts as well.

#

Noxious Blast

  • 1 × 3 [Toxified] in that 30s
    Pestilent Pool
  • 2 × 3 [Toxified] in that 30s
    Infectious Touch
  • 2 × 1 [Toxified] in that 30s
  • 2 × 2 [Toxified] in ~32s

hidden creek
#

anyway
my point is [poison element surge] reduce the usage of infectious touch
bcoz without element surge, infectious touch is active everytime you proc poison blast
but with element surge if you proc poison blast during surge you can't active infectious touch

#

and you have to wait for poison blast to cd to start stacking for the next poison blast for the pool to then active infectious touch again

#

and that's bad synergy

fierce light
#

Yeah Element Surge does actively reduce Infectious Touch's effectiveness.

hidden creek
#

yep

#

poison build doesn't even provide that good of dps in the first place

fierce light
#

Yeah we'll have to see what they cook for the curios

#

Right now it's just a better option for Kurumi and Wuchen, but going to be just Wuchen once Kurumi's dedicated Curio comes back.

#

Sorta like how Thunder Surge mainly good for Tianhai only right now

hidden creek
#

if only they make toxified chain also proc poison blast regardless of poison blast cd like how frostbite chain does

fierce light
#

Aegis damage going to be useless in the later stages and it already does plenty of Aegis DMG

hidden creek
#

yeah they gave toxin huge aegis break power compare to ice or thunder

#

but it's useless if at the same time they keep giving end game stages bosses unbreakable aegis bar

#

that's why i said toxin builds are noob trap

hidden creek
#

they gets you excited when you saw early stages bosses aegis bar explode

summer ridge
#

My fatigue refills tmr and I’m max level

#

I get more gems now

hidden creek
#

to depression when you found out you can't even break them later

#

it's been 2 seasons and it's still the same

fierce light
#

Hmm

hidden creek
#

before anyone tell me ''bUt iT's thE bEst in infErnO~'', ice do fine as hell in inferno, in fact it's not even that far behind poison
so there's literally 0 reason to go for poison

fierce light
#

Maybe the Showdown Level rework adjusted how Aegis scales

hidden creek
#

also

#

they announced that when TI open there'll be dedicated curio for every characters

fierce light
#

But yeah Poison is reliant on the general Curios to work properly, while Ice is usually synergistic with the dedicated & general Curios.

fierce light
hidden creek
#

i didn't do the translation myself so i don't really know what's the wording they used

#

but they definitely said there will be more character dedicated curios along with new universal curios

fierce light
#

Okay I tried Kurumi and Wuchen with Poison Lotus Surge instead, I managed a faster time.

#

Removed:

  • Noxious Blast
  • Infectious Touch
    Added:
  • Toxified Lotus
  • Ghastbloom
    Kept:
  • Pestilent Pool
  • Element Surge
  • Toxin Seep
  • Toxified Chain
#

Wuchen especially felt it more since it's easier to spam his Aegis-Breaks

hidden creek
#

aha

fierce light
#

This current Yama's boss is pretty terrible for testing though.

amber terrace
#

reset tomorrow

bold ice
hidden creek
#

hard to tell

#

Considering a minute ago we had hero-specific curios obviously stronger than the universal ones

#

Cause even if you wanted to have the take of "let me use this universal one until I get a good hero-specific" it will be a waste of mats

#

And you'll probably get a good hero done before you randomly drop a universal

hidden creek
#

they're not that hard to make

#

and you'd want to max the crafting level on all of them anyway

bold ice
#

Yeah so it's just a material sink to get the rewards

# summer ridge Is thunder getting buffed

Big Buffs too. Thunder Surge increases DT damage by another 15% and they removed the burn penalty making Scorchin viable again. Thunder Chain procs every 5 DT hits as opposed to 6. @fierce light correct me if I'm wrong, but the DT hits include for Chain includes both the countered lightning AND the DT elemental accumulation proc on an enemy. This means after one rotation of a DT hit on an enmy plus 4 normal DT counters without Surge, you can pop chain.

#

So massive buffs for people who want to run non-Surge as well as Surge Builds.

They're all good for different things. When Tempered Inferno is open though you should be primarily running that to get your Curios online.

None of the of the curios match for her

fierce light
#

Ah it sounds like they aren't allowing us to deconstruct rare Souljades to Fragments directly.

isn't it they just gonna remove rare souljades

No

They removed you

why not all of them?

tf they means ''some'' of them

hidden creek
fierce light
#

They're still helpful as placeholders while you're leveling early on

crimson cave
#

whats was the point of blue jades anyway

fierce light
#

But I hope they do allow us to deconstruct them directly

crimson cave
#

from random gifts etc

#

you only need like 6

hidden creek
#

yea isn't it they gives you like a beginner set

#

or at least 3-4 jades

balmy coral
#

Imagine bringing it back

fierce light
crimson cave
#

and after a few chapters you get enough purps golds etc

#

I can agree that even grey jades are better than nothing in survival, but in showdown idk

hidden creek
#

they never bother to explain shit but they thought about keeping blue jades for starters?

#

bruh

#

i don't even know that elemental blast got a cd after one year of showdown

so newbs be like ''oooh that's the thing you should aim for when making a build, synergy''

i was like the fuxk is divine thunder what it means to counter that

crimson cave
#

we all been there

balmy coral
#

got a feeling they'd open Inferno much earlier I hope so

fierce light
#

2 extra crafts per week

#

Hopefully it does open earlier if they're adding a lot

#

Going to be a nightmare trying to get good ones for multiple heroes

balmy coral
#

with additional curious leveling it up would be tedious.

hidden creek
#

eh no

#

that's just for you to leveling up crafting level

#

when TI open they all gonna gets removed

#

so no you can't hoard them and wait for new curios

balmy coral
#

No, I meant the chaos stones.

hidden creek
#

even that

#

all curios, all curio related materials

balmy coral

Did they say that?

hidden creek

So, basically, get weekly chaos stone to partially level up the crafting .. that's it?

hidden creek
dusky sparrow
#

With the features for curios being added. Does this mean curios are back? And with thunder chain buffs, are divine thunder builds mak8ng a comeback?

fierce light
#

Starting out, you'd probably want to go for Fiery Lotus Bell & Withered Glory to get yin-yang early. Then go for random crafting till everything is at least Lv. 1.

i think its an ok build to start when you are farming for jades for better builds

#

and the gameplay is more novice friendly

#

and im pretty new to the game still like 25 login days give me a break

fierce light
#

Poison does have higher base dmg, just worse scaling cause Toxin Blast isn't considered Poison Blast DMG.

hidden creek
#

feels like they didn't even tried

#

to balance between elements

#

there's so many way that you can change for thunder/poison to keep their gameplay identity and at the same time could compete with ice

#

rather than just stats buff

#

but they just do stats buff, and it still doesn't change shit

#

at this point i'm convinced they did it on purpose

fierce light
#

They could've made Toxin Seep work off uncharged attacks and keep it's 1s cooldown.

flat compass
#

Idk I think poison is pretty good too it’s not just ice

#

Lots of people use poison

#

Thunder is shit

hidden creek

Could've made Thunder Charge increase the charge rate of Thunderpull as well.

dusky sparrow
hidden creek

come back when you're in top 3 with poison

#

then you can talk about it being good

fierce light

But still likely ILC is better for her.

hidden creek

as ANYONE who compete for top 10 yama, from the moment poison gets added into the game
see what's their opinion on poison at end game stages

dusky sparrow

(Math is my thing and so is build testing)

flat compass
hidden creek
#

thunder seeing it gets used everywhere except on thunder builds:

#

even with tmr patch changes

#

melee tsurge is still trash

#

actually now that mighty lotus counter + thunder chain looks appealing

fierce light

For current Yama's, meta is looking like:

  • Viper Ning : ILC
  • Feria Shen : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Tianhai : ILC
  • Temulch : Bow
  • Tarka Ji : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Kurumi : Toxin Surge
  • Valda Cui : ILC | Musket (sweaty)
  • Yueshan : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Matari : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Wuchen : Toxin Surge
  • Yoto Hime : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Tessa : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Ziping Ying : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)
  • Justina Gu : Frost Surge (Sub-Zero variant)

Replace Frostbite Chain with Sub-Zero Seal.

I think Peak is later, unless they pushed it forward

yeah in like 5 hours or something

crimson cave

yuppp

balmy coral

I just need one windfall for it

#

I might ditch bow build atp until next month if I get so unlucky

fierce light
#

I just need one more Windfall for my Frost Surge build and it's done

#

But I'm working on Bow since it only needs 1 rare per jade

My problem is shrouded jades

I don't have anymore

though i noticed chain crush is easily missed sometimes

#

wish they just make it proc on target

fierce light

like elemental blast

dusky sparrow
balmy coral

Since Inferno is locked its rate drop is low

fierce light
#

Pretty much less dps than the old Lotus Mod builds when that happens

hidden creek
#

rip

fierce light
#

I get about 2 Shrouded Jades per week

#

Plus the 2 from the weekly

balmy coral
#

I got only 1 drop + the weekly

#

Most of my jades rn are only 3 slotted

hidden creek
#

honestly considering making an alt to test out diff build idea

dusky sparrow
#

tilts head
We are not thinking the same thing
Can someone redefine shrouded jade for me?
I thought it was the ancient ones that no longer function and are a choice SJ

balmy coral
hidden creek
#

shrouded jade is the square thingy you use to open additional attribute on your jade

dusky sparrow
#

I only got 2

#

And i exhausted my fatique

#

Unless I mis c I unted

#

Miscounted

balmy coral
#

When inferno was open u wouldn't have a problem with it but I was stupid enough to waste it all

fierce light
#

I think it's slower than the old way, but it doesn't cost any jades at least

hidden creek
#

you only ran out of those at the beginning of the season anyway

#

once the meta settled they got 0 usage

balmy coral
#

With too many possible builds rn it's scarce

#

Plus battlepass doesn't give enough

hidden creek
#

inb4 it's monk tsurge and 2 bows everywhere

fierce light
#

Probably going to finish my Bow build, finish my Frost Surge build, then work on the new Poison Jades.

balmy coral
#

Ye and 4 hours til reset

dusky sparrow
#

I just realized the training room allows me to test base lines of things without investment

fierce light

It'll be relatively easy to make the Bow and Poison since they only need single rares.

Gonna wait till after the patch for the small Fragments

#

Will be testing the reworked element shots for Musket as well

dusky sparrow
#

I hate the training arena.
You cannot accurately test any ele surges builds that are NOT frost because the ele surge is forever pinned to frost e.e

#

Least IN the training room

#

Can anyone help me report that?

#

Yay!

#

I can see potential for thunder chain

#

Had to go test it.
Sadly with 0 investment it's a slow start tho. Using matari

river stratus
#

go on elemental jades

#

on top you can chose the element and description on ele surge jade change

Wait if that what u meant then ye

Oh
So for thunder I think i see the intended loop
Build to thunderbolt
Parry-riposte
Triggers it again
Repeat

God it feels so bad to use tho

Poor thunder needs help
So badly.
It's drowning.
I CANNOT get any form of consistency with it at ALL

What's the over/under that the update gets delayed on Xbox ? 💀

quaint girder

But Tianhai sucks with that because there's another Frost Surge he builds to double animation cancel to have infinite ultimate

Thunder, Poison & Musket Buffs

Thunder
-# from x12 [Windfall], x6 Attack, x6 Divine Thunder DMG.

  • +2% Attack (Element Surge)
  • ~1.02% DPS increase
  • +15% Divine Thunder DMG (Element Surge)

+20% Divine Thunder DMG (Element Afterglow)

  • ~7% Divine Thunder DPS increase
  • 6 > 5 Divine Thunder DMG charges to activate Chain Crush (Thunder Chain)
  • 20% faster activation

Poison
-# from x6 [Windfall], x6 Attack, x6 DMG to Bosses, & x6 Poison Blast DMG.

  • +15% Poison Blast DMG (Element Fury)

+25% Poison Blast DMG (Element Surge)

  • ~10.8% Poison Blast DPS increase

Musket
-# without including the base shot's damage.

  • Ice Bomb : 0.49 3.50
  • ~+614.29% DMG increase
  • Thunder Shot : 0.56 3.50
  • +525% DMG increase
  • Toxic Shot : 0.57 3.50
  • ~+514% DMG increase

Is Scarlet Guanyin's modifer better or worse than Shattered Edge's?

#

30% (or whatever) bonus on Headshot vs flat 18% ATK?

#

basically replacing one of those

fierce light
#

Scarlet Guanyin ends up being 26.7% more headshot dmg. No diminishing returns.

quaint girder
#

New Maximum Deadsky Build:

  • Element Surge Poison
  • Thunderpull
  • Desperation
  • Shattered Edge
  • Backfire
  • Scarlet Guanyin

Potentials is Red/Blue bow setup on Zer0's site.

#

This is my current build for extremely sweaty Musket

#

52-3k headshots in training lol

#

So new build will be:

New Maximum Deadsky Build:

  • Element Surge Poison
  • Frost Shot/Ice Bomb (whatever the name is)
  • Thunderpull
  • Desperation
  • Backfire
  • Scarlet Guanyin

Potentials is Red/Blue bow setup on Zer0's site.

#

This is the absolute pinnacle of Damage you can push, but extremely punishing if you cannot airwalk/skyrender immune the self stagger

#

Extreme Sweaty

fierce light
#

Shattered Edge is a 7.74% DPS increase at max build.
-# x6 [Windfall], x6 Attack, x6 DMG to Bosses, x6 Ranged Weapon DMG.

fickle linden
#

if i start the game xx:59 before reset and finish it after reset
, does it use old or new fatigue?

fierce light
fierce light
#

Personally going to run it without Thunderpull. Only a 0.867% difference.

#

If I do make the build.

quaint girder
#

Might be better to put in utility unironically

fierce light
#

It will only be a 0.8% difference between Shattered Edge and Thunderpull I mean

quaint girder
#

oohhhh

#

i see lol

#

If you update the site you should setup the build like:

  • Element Surge Poison
  • Frost Shot/Ice Bomb (whatever the name is)
  • Desperation
  • Backfire
  • Scarlet Guanyin
  • [Flex]

Flex usually is Shattered Edge for more consistent and forgiving damage, but if you really want to max out damage and are confident in landing every headshot and dodging ever stagger use Thunderpull for a 0.8% damage increase.

#

Xilenced would try piloting this build lol

fierce light
#

Feel like it would be pretty bad for trying to fly

quaint girder
#

If he actually pulls it off and shaves like 2 seconds off of like the top solo records for Feria/Valda then I'll be impressed

fierce light
#

Which seems to do more dps than grounded Skyrender Shots due to the fire rate

#

Poison Shot/Arrows is likely the go to after the changes. Poison Blast going to have a bit of scaling from Element Surge

#

Right now it doesn't matter

quaint girder
#

At least for Musket

fierce light
#

130.5% Attack (Bonus) with Shattered Edge.
132.5% Attack (Bonus) with Thunderpull.

fickle linden

it used old fatigue

yeah before you can't max out sense on the first week just like now also

the last 10 level were taking a good amount of grinds

ya, and i think topaz is not worth running it

too slow and not rewarding effort wise

#

basically just do hard nitriuii to clear out fatigue as for now?

im avging 4-5min per run solo for hard nitirui

fierce light
lucid ore
#

I set a timer outside and tried and my time in-game was like 3 mins or so but outside it's like 6 mins

Pretty much add 1-3 minutes to your finish time to see how long it actually took you. Depending on if you're speedrunning through or taking it casual.

I need tempered inferno back bad

You can download the update now, but the servers will take a bit to come back up.

The new Level Suppression doesn't seem far from last seasons'.

so in the end they never added any achievements for inferno like they had in test servers

should i DE this?

or nah

cuz if i DE it ,its gonna be 1 full rare crystal

but the ice blast damage is 30% already, attack is 4%

would feel bad doing so

2 justina 1 ziping is fastest comp?

what about element wielding?

doesnt matter?

doesn't really matters but if you want to squeeze out every dps then ig 2 of each

thats what i thought

#

thank you

hidden creek
#

according to this chart made by dark

crimson cave
#

for stats i look for
attack
ranged damage
damage do bosses
rares: windfall?

hidden creek
#

yeah

crimson cave
fierce light
#

So it looks like the elemental shots give double the Deadeye Charge of the base shots. @quaint girder

#

So with them it takes 8 body shots/ 7 headshots, instead of 17 body shots/14 headshots.

4 gold jades every run

Without elixir I get 2 gold jade and some purple

not bad for 30 fatigue ig

not bad

compare to nirriti

i tried tracking arrow and when i aim way above the boss head it hits headshot

drifting lanceBOT
#

🎉 | ƒisher[SEA] leveled up!

balmy coral
#

It's not even complete lol

hidden creek
#

is the tracking feature worth it for a slot on bow build is the question

lone umbra
#

but yeah it is weird

hidden creek
#

i think the chain crush position will appear on the exact position that the uncharged melee attack which triggered it hits

#

so i hit the boss's leg with my melee attack

#

and chain crush appear at that exact position after a short delay

#

but the aoe is smol af and the boss kinda moved abit from when it got hits with my melee

#

so chain crush missed

lone umbra
#

yeah looked like it

#

the chain crush happend at the location of uncharged hit

lone umbra
#

and boss moved

balmy coral
#

Ye thats why u should dash too far

#

How come y'all having so bad drops on nirriti

lone umbra
#

should or shouldnt?

hidden creek
balmy coral
#

Shouldn't

#

My bad

hidden creek
lone umbra
balmy coral
#

Chain crush has a limited radius is what I understand from it.

#

Happens to me often on Justina

hidden creek
#

the thing is it took the melee hit coordinate to spawn chain crush

#

instead of tracking the boss coordinate to spawn it

hidden creek
#

like lotus for example

#

doesn't matters where you hit the boss

#

the lotus spawn will track current boss position

lone umbra
#

even if location tracking of melee attack AOE should be bigger

hidden creek
#

which could still make it miss if the boss travelled a long distance in a short period of time, but it's better than this

hidden creek
#

i know

#

rly can't afford missing chain crush cuz it does too much damages

balmy coral

but my ILC which shares 4 jades with ice surge only got 75% mod atm

so i'm fine with my ice surge being 125% mod

2% attack and 15% ice is not that big of a deal anyway if you don't compete for top 3 yama

4 more rares and u are complete

#

dont wanna do 2400 fatigue every week

hopefully this set last me a while lol

Then save up the frags until u get another flux

So u can fix it if u make get a bad rare

balmy coral

Or get a new build

cursive fable
#

should i Disenchant this

balmy coral
#

No

cursive fable
#

kk just use rare crystal on scorching?

balmy coral

I'd recast that scorching into Dmg to boss attribute

cursive fable
#

ye

#

it was max attribute lol

balmy coral
#

Value doesn't matter it'd be near maxed

balmy coral
cursive fable
#

ya i was hesisting to disenchant

#

since it would give me 2 fluxes

balmy coral
#

Don't getting one windfall is already expensive

#
  • max
#

I'd say just leave it

cursive fable
#

ye how many Mod/wf do you have atm?

balmy coral
#

For Ice surge u need 4

cursive fable
#

i feel like 8 WF isnt as that important

balmy coral
#

3 is acceptable but u need 4

cursive fable
#

ya u can walk away with less than 8 WF

#

ya but 3-4 mod is absolutely needed

balmy coral
#

You will get another flux next week on Yama astral 3

cursive fable
#

3 mod is sufficient on justina?

balmy coral
#

You have one more chance to fix it

cursive fable
#

ya lets say

#

if i roll this into scorch

balmy coral
cursive fable
#

should i just Disencahnt it

balmy coral
#

Ppl would disagree

balmy coral
#

It's the lowest value

cursive fable
#

ya

#

i mean after i recast charged dmg to Scorch(unlucky situation)

#

should i just disenchant it for flux

#

and build a brand new frostite chain

balmy coral
#

Depends on u

#

But I'd keep it

#

All my attribute values are only 3%

cursive fable
#

this game is really RNG lol

#

if the flux jade (2nd rare) ends up being non-scorch

#

you can obtain 4 mod 8 wf super fast

#

but if you keep getting scorch, then shit will take like months

crimson cave
#

tbia pass should be longer

balmy coral
#

Literally building Ice surge was 100% better than poison so no regret destroying it

cursive fable
#

ya surge is gonna be bis for tempered inferno too

its all about killing the boss fast enough lol

what are the jades for ice surge?

It's fast and addictive

ya i mean doesnt the game gets boring

balmy coral

after our setup is finished?

like 4 mod 8 wf
