🗿

[balmy coral]

wwm update tomorrow.

really disappointed that Heng blade won't be coming til next month.

[amber terrace]

yea

Test nrk tmr too, maybe

[fickle linden]

it is

they already have patch notes for it

[amber terrace]

where

[fickle linden]

in weixin but i dont have link for it i just saw video about it

i cant register to weixin

[kind escarp]

nothing showdown related?

[fickle linden]

nope

they probably make own post for showdown stuff

because it's new season and there will be alot of stuff

new bosses, new hero, new systems etc.

[amber terrace]

badge trios, solo top 1 2 3

[kind escarp]

wow so excited for these

[west crater]

Certain things about Showdown drive me crazy, there's a trio of sons of bitches here in NA who keep carrying each other and they're the only ones in 90% of the ranks...

I wish there was a way to prevent people from getting multiple top3 on various characters.

[fickle linden]

play solo yama's

[kind escarp]

u cant get multiple badges tho

[fickle linden]

i mean ppl let other players to play on their account to get top ranks in solos too but what can you do

[fickle linden]

they just do it to make 100% sure they are in top 3 in some character category and to prevent others getting badges

[turbid agate]

People also do multiple characters to make sure they get a top 3 finish

[kind escarp]

but still they get only 1 badge right? or am i confused

[fickle linden]

yes but if you only get top 3 with one character and last hour 3 ppl pass you

[kind escarp]

they can grind all chars but still only get 1

[fickle linden]

you get nothing

so you want to have atleast 2-3 different rank 3s in the leaderboard

[kind escarp]

oh

[west crater]

I play solo, and until earlier today Akos had the best time.

[kind escarp]

i thought if the same ppl have top 3 in multiple lbs they will get one char then in other lbs the 4th - 6th will get top 3 instead

[west crater]

Yes, which reinforces my dissatisfaction, because if you can't get multiple badges, what's the point of wanting to be in all ranks?

[kind escarp]

just to make sure u do get one i think

[west crater]

Like this

[fickle linden]

nice faster than rank 1 in EU

i think in SEA they have multiple 55sec times

[fierce light]

Yup, made a post about that https://discord.com/channels/750237703739539497/1417667610027360490, but it started an argument lol

[fickle linden]

it's crazy how every season there is some arguments about leaderboards in here

and it's always NA players

[fierce light]

In my defense though, that was only because we were trying out different team comps to see what could be our team's actual fastest comp. I think my times are beatable though since I'm not maxed on any build really.

[kind escarp]

they are just trying to gaslight everyone

[west crater]

Oh cool, I'll contribute to that daily, just like DuckNaes does with the canonical skins. I really don't think it's fair that people get multiple positions.

[drifting lance]

🎉 | [00]Lemos leveled up!

[west crater]

I'll just read everything first so I don't sound repetitive.

[fierce light]

The post is locked though, so can't say anything.

[amber terrace]

weeeeeeeeeeeee

[rotund forge]

Look ugly af

[rotund forge]

If that the case these people also come up in EU to take the ranks

Naraka should ban that ranking

From different server

Someone infest from other server and ruin everything

[fickle linden]

EU and NA leaderboards would be empty asf for rift traversal after that 😄

[valid roost]

Tbf it's not as if it's that hard to get on the majority of leaderboards outside China and maybe SEA anyways, when stuff like rift rank and leaderboard is mostly a playtime trophy

Some characters in showdown in solos abyss are quite literally still just bronze 1 for top 500 in NA, and Temulch doesn't even hit top 300 in NA

[fickle linden]

in the 1vs1 leaderboards, 1 win would get you top 10 in NA lol

[west crater]

The game shouldn't even allow someone from another server to qualify on the leaderboard.

[valid roost]

I think after awhile if they actually moved locations, it'd be fine to let them be on though, but of course, you can't realistically verify that either

And also that wouldn't stop people from just making more accounts anyways

[fickle linden]

imagine farming maxed build for more than 1 account

couldn't be me lol

[valid roost]

Some people would probably be so petty as to do it for 4 accounts for NA, EU, SEA and AS combined lol

[marble kindle]

Man at that point, that man deserves the ranking

[valid roost]

And then on console too

[rotund forge]

I mean the badge looks ugly now I don't even care out it

they could make some dragon design atleast

[fickle linden]

yeah

that amount of work for no reward

other than badge, that my naraka friend has 8 of and he can't do 10mil dmg in inferno

console badge free

they should give seasonal treasures and exclusive profile background and/or avatar border for top 3

real rewards

[valid roost]

I don't remember where I saw it but I think top 10 on PlayStation or so in SEA goes as low as Empyrean for one of the characters. Barely anyone on console that the badge isn't hard to fight for

Probably more people on Xbox but still low enough that maybe 5 people are competition

[fickle linden]

i dont think there is even 10 xbox showdown players in eu lol

[valid roost]

They just trade black badges amongst each other like it's the black market

[fickle linden]

should just combine console and pc leaderboards

[valid roost]

I never understood making them separate as is for any mode

Let alone I feel like it doesn't incentivize console players to minmax if they know they don't need to with how few people there are

[fickle linden]

for pvp it makes sense

console players turn off crossplay and play bot games to get high rank. they would just ruin pc leaderboards

but for showdown should just combine them

[turbid agate]

Yeah Xbox NA leaderboards is like the same 5 people or so.

[valid roost]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

Console players infighting when the same 5 people get top 3 for all the characters

[sinful grail]

I took a look at PS SEA yesterday and some top 1 heroes are at Paragon 15 so they don't really that much of a playerbase - in EU we still have many in Paragon 20 though

[fickle linden]

i know it's niche game in west, and showdown is the least popular gamemode in the game and console is less popular than PC but 5 is crazy

but not surprising how they been treating console players last year

[valid roost]

I'd have to imagine rift is even less popular but I'm not on console so no idea

[sinful grail]

The few rift games I've done were only crossplay off and waiting 1:30 for the game to start - never saw a player

[fickle linden]

yeah PS is not popular in SEA but for some reason i keep getting [PSE] players in my speedrun games every week

in EU

[valid roost]

Those PSEA troopers are built different

[fickle linden]

maybe they live in EU now or something idk

very weird

[sinful grail]

I have one in my friend list who is among the best of the player we have, I don't know about any other PSE

[valid roost]

I just had a very dumb idea but imagine if they explained Showdown like an anime TCG and there was a big hype reveal for the random SEA rival from console appearing in TI or something

And they have to stand there on the side to do the obligatory monologue

[sinful grail]

Need 300ms between lips sync and voice sound otherwise it won't be realistic

[valid roost]

And at least 8 seconds spent cutting to everyone's shocked reactions

[fathom edge]

I’m a console player (PS5) and there is more than enough showdown players in EU.

[fickle linden]

can you screenshot yueshan solo leaderboard for research purposes?

[sinful grail]

I got you hold on

[fickle linden]

yeaah thought so

just clearing paragon 16 gets you in top 10

3:20 for top 3

[sinful grail]

Tarka's got only 4 people on P20

[fickle linden]

any xbox player can screenshot yueshan solo leaderboard EU?

i imagine it's even more dead

ps more popular than xbox in EU in my experience in games

in NA it's other way around

[sinful grail]

Yeah in games with cross console I mostly get PS players too

[fickle linden]

when i was playing low level ranked pvp games in NA season or two ago it was 90% against xbox players

i mean 95% against bots and 4% against xbox players

and 1% against pc players

[misty bridge]

[turbid agate]

Man those are slow times

[valid roost]

I wonder what the Matari times on console are like

[sinful grail]

We're not the worst though

[fierce light]

I got 1:04 on Xbox-NA

My build for her is only like 85% done though and at Lv. 22

[sinful grail]

On our server the top 1 solo has 58sec - from someone that sometimes talk on this channel

[valid roost]

Not too different from PC NA then

[fierce light]

Okay, nice to know I'm not that far off despite my lacking stats.

[valid roost]

Third on PC NA has the same time but first place has 44s

[fierce light]

44s? They went Aegis DMG?

[valid roost]

But there's a 13s difference between 3rd and 2nd so I don't think many people in NA invested in Matari

[valid roost]

No aegis damage

But on SEA, it's tied 3 times for 42s

They all use goblet

[fierce light]

No Defuse Prowess?

[valid roost]

They use defuse aegis break

[fierce light]

On Potential

[valid roost]

Oh yeah they use defuse potential from what I checked

[fierce light]

Wow

I guess that lines up

17% stronger than my build if maxed and likely Lv. 25 so even stronger.

[valid roost]

Third place has an incomplete build, I think he's just using scraps from his Kylin build or someone else since it's not the best stats

And yeah IDK how SEA has 42s but I guess that's the fastest you can go with her since from what I've tested it's impossible for her to skip the orbs

Especially because of the game forcibly capping Agnivat's health depletion when she's about to summon them

[fierce light]

Okay yeah, should be 20% stronger than my current build at max Level and Attributes.

[valid roost]

It would definitely be lower if you could skip the orbs but I have no idea how much aegis damage you'd need to skip it for Matari

And of course to try... Resources would need to be spent

Her feathers already do so much damage to bring Agnivat to the ground stabbing animation quickly

[valid roost]

There's a bug?

The #1 Matari on NA isn't using scorching

3x or 2x scorching??

[turbid agate]

Just kylin stagger, no? That's not a bug tho.

Yeah I realized after I replied lmao

[valid roost]

So anyone can abuse the bug in solos or no?

I get your sentiment but this is also Naraka we're talking about, the devs are probably too slow to recognize it or it'll be ignored

Much like other forms of cheating

It should be reported if it's that egregious though

I'm assuming it's an unintended bug because the devs seemed very adamant on making the orbs unskippable for most

If everyone can abuse it and it's not just character specific then it should be called out, as futile as it can be sometimes

Esp since nothing is stopping people from using it last minute unless it's patched out

[fickle linden]

in rift traversal season 0 they banned bug abusers for some time and removed them from leaderboards afaik so who knows

i think someone in this chat got banned too because of that bug abusing

[fierce light]

They need to stop adding these "unskippable mechanics", cause all it does is make the final times be the ones who found a way to skip them.

[valid roost]

It's also just padding

Like it's not fun to watch the boss do an attack you can't do anything about 500 times

Or the forced "no, Agnivat cannot delete aegis shield during this animation" or preventing her health from going below 75% health or so before the orbs are summoned

[fierce light]

Don't know why games insist on adding time wasting mechanics to their PvE the longer they're out

[valid roost]

If it's during the story then I have no issue with it, sometimes you gotta add stuff for the pizazz or thrill of immersing the player

Like the eye lasers in Agnivat's story mission I'm fine with

But then cut all of it out in abyss

But realistically, it's almost certainly in one part to force more playtime

[fierce light]

Yeah different move set or something for Yama's Abyss

Makes sense on their story stage

But it's even buggy in Yama's cause the Orbs will go out the stage half the time

[west crater]

Now that you've mentioned this bug, I don't know if I should try harder to get back to the Top 1... It will be very frustrating to know that the guy who beat me didn't beat me because he's better, but because he used a bug.

[valid roost]

If what none says is true though, people have been removed for having abnormal times or could be abusing the bug at all so idk

[thorn narwhal]

they already found 3-4 different bugs for this stage, and the whole leaderboard is basically BUG fest rn 😂

[fierce light]

Just sad. Spend all season prepping for a build to get beat by a bug

[west crater]

Well, I was so proud that my build is completely off-meta. And I can easily compete with the stinky meta Hydro Flame build. (That being said, can my build still be considered meta? )

[thorn narwhal]

they already changed half the builds so the ones we using is not up there anymore, it's like if they have a million build just as if they could build them for free and test what works best with that specific stage, even the specific amount of each attribute

but most likely 99% they are not gonna do anything about the bugs runs, they don't have an ingame replay, a QOL feature that should of been there years ago

[fierce light]

Yeah, i think they have alt accounts to try out new builds to reach certain breakpoints to cut a lot of time. Oftentimes those builds are hardly usable outside of Yama's, so it's pretty annoying

I hope we get a new endgame or they at least update Nirriti's Ruins next season

[thorn narwhal]

the never ending hope every season

[shrewd basin]

Bring back old Yamas

Infinite ruins

[valid roost]

I can't imagine the time commitment of managing multiple accounts just to test builds let alone how boring that would get after a while

It's almost like having a QOL feature where we can select stats and test stuff in a test mode called Free Training would help mitigate this guess work in some way....

[fierce light]

They do it professionally over there

[valid roost]

There's a Valda Cui on PC NA with 29s actually, no idea who the player is or their history and all so not my place to look further off that knowledge alone. But there is one Valda with below 30s

Over 1.7K hours put into showdown

They have a 49s as Ziping Yin too but idk enough about Zip vs Agnivat in paragon 20

Multiple people play on that account?

[stoic rapids]

Who the next char?.?

Any info ?

[turbid agate]

not yet, most likely Li

[stoic rapids]

No way, dodge boss ?.? :)))

[valid roost]

We'll probably get news tomorrow or so

[kind escarp]

[fathom edge]

[valid roost]

Guess that checks out

Prolly multiple people are account sharing

[kind escarp]

when even is test serv gonna open

[valid roost]

There's one Matari in trios comp that put 3 of their stats into damage to astral aegis after looking but I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes to have (almost) 24% damage to astral aegis. Could purely be a benefit to trios and doesn't make a difference in solos

It's still 2nd to the Matari in first place

[rotund forge]

It's same build as kylin tho

Don't need to invest

Just gotta try

[valid roost]

Matari wouldn't use scorching though

And also, the Kylins are using thunder counter, and Matari also doesn't

It's almost the same build, but in practice it's not the same as Kylin

[lyric trench]

I hope it's Takeda, his Judgement Cut ult is cool though.

[kind escarp]

why do i feel like its gonna be lyam

[shrewd basin]

My vote is leaning to Takada or Hadi

Lyam imo doesn’t seem like a good fit for showdown

[kind escarp]

mine is on takeda as well but lyam's rework is so random and the only explanation is new showdown season

[valid roost]

As a Lyam Liu fanboy that would make me very happy but I seriously doubt it's gonna be him

[fathom edge]

https://tenor.com/view/naraka-bladepoint-naraka-lyam-liu-feria-shen-gif-4626661896585739112

[sinful grail]

I want Shayol with a armor oriented build like the one we have in Nirriti or in a opposing way of burn/copper ward

[fathom edge]

I kind of want to see Inor in showdown. Shayol would be good too. But I think none of them will be added this season 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh my I can’t wait 🥳

[sinful grail]

Welp I don't understand the video so I'll wait for the English version

[fierce light]

Glad to hear it

[merry narwhal]

Shayooooooool yeeeeeeeees

Interested to see what her ulti will be like

Considering it's predominantly defensive

[limpid pecan]

they could just make it like rift

she gets to freely throw shields for rage cost

and blocking also eats rage

[fierce light]

Interesting, buffs to Yueshan, Zai and nerfs to Justina?

[limpid pecan]

tbh its maybe justina buff

[fierce light]

Overall not seeing anything major changing in the article

[limpid pecan]

the raw dmg of F skill is rather inconsequential when it comes to overall dmg output

[fierce light]

It nerfed her Skill spam build

[limpid pecan]

she got buffed for farming tho

she can trigger ice blast on weaker mobs now

[fierce light]

Ah

Haven't used her in so long forgot about that issue

[limpid pecan]

in solos enigma

shes

SO BAD

like unreal

even in trio

its too much

i think u need to get to like enhancement lvl 7 or 8

before mobs survive F

[fierce light]

Maybe she'll be usable in Dangers of the Deep

[west crater]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vzPxz4Exp/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click

I was wondering if she would use Aurora Burst too, but it seems they made that Jade Mastery skill the standard for her.

[fierce light]

Lol, hope they aren't trying to push an Armor build on her cause it scales horribly atm

Her Skill has a 12.00 DMG Coefficient at least.

[west crater]

I would be super happy if she were like Akos, who has an interesting kit and encourages you to build around it, instead of a generic Hydroflare build.

[kind escarp]

lol so she can hold defuse?

[fierce light]

Oh nice she has a boss stagger in Ult.

Seems to be rather weak otherwise though.

[fierce light]

Akos's kit doesn't really encourage a specific build since his Ult gives a generic Attack buff that any build can use.

He's actually one of the strongest Thunder Scorch users because of that

Kylin is more of someone that encourages different builds.

[fickle linden]

shayol?

[west crater]

I've always had a different view on this, precisely because martial skill is highly valued in his ultimate ability.

I look for a video of Akos with Thunder Scorching to see.

[fierce light]

His Aegis-break certainly hits hard in his Ultimate, especially with Defuse Prowess Tier 2+. But it doesn't quite reach the damage of Lv. 12 Scorching (54.00 vs ~38.44), especially while your Ultimate is down.

[balmy coral]

can she parry thunder on ult?

[fierce light]

Ah, good point she could restore armor that way.

If they gave it the same scaling as other Armor things though (doesn't scale from DMG Bonuses and Attack), it's probably not worth using her Ult tbh.

[balmy coral]

they better do magic on this

[west crater]

F lotus?

[river stratus]

lotus path removed , green is the new one

[fierce light]

Wonder what'll be next

[amber terrace]

[fierce light]

New jades aren't elemental?

Still looks like you might want Thunderpull maybe

Wow that actually sounds pretty complicated, might have to figure out some rotations.

[amber terrace]

dafug i love this bg

[balmy coral]

help me do trios

I want placement

Like 20secs run

[amber terrace]

u mean yama?

[balmy coral]

yup

[chrome seal]

Oh does this mean the armor builds are gonna finally ever be valuable?

[amber terrace]

lmao 12%

[fierce light]

What's the big node

That's actually not bad though since any build could activate that

[amber terrace]

defuse change?

[fierce light]

Wow that's a huge nerf

Rip Matari outside of Curios.

[west crater]

oh man...

My tiger punch become a Kitty punch T-T

Hmmm wait

The patchnote mentioned that they would be changing the values ​​of some things.

Yueshan Heroes Level 21 Buffs are adjusted to: Scorching Dash ·Zheng Extreme gains an additional 20% rage growth rate; Rampage ·Zheng Extreme gains an additional 15% Attack power, lasts for 6 Sec, and can be stacked up to 4 times.

Zai Heroes Level 21 Buffs are adjusted to: Burning Damage increased by 10%, and "HydroFlare Phase Damage Increase" is converted into additional Burning Damage.

Zai [Tarka's Sober Day Lock·Zheng Extreme] adds new Buffs: "Defuse Lead". If successful, it can Enhance next time [Chain Man's Ruin·Jie].

Justina Gu [Shadowswipe·Zheng Extreme] The Damage coefficient is lowered to 9, and the Element accumulation coefficient is increased so that the accumulated value of each Element brought by Skills remains unchanged.

The Damage coefficient of Aegis-break Martial Skill and Defuse Martial Skill is increased by 100%. The Aegis-break coefficient is decreased by 50%, and the Martial Skill coefficient of Enhance remains unchanged during [Flash·Extreme]. [Frostwind·Extreme]. [Feral Frenzy·Extreme].

The translation is rather poor.

[amber terrace]

ill spam right

[fierce light]

Ah in that case, it'll be an overall 320% increase, instead of the 210% from before.

• (100% + 100% [DMG Coefficient increase]) × (1 + 110% [Defuse Prowess Tier 2]) = 4.2

Although it reads like it'll still be an overall nerf to Matari and Akos. Since their buffed Aegis-breaks will only benefit from the +110%.

[amber terrace]

wao i like this effect

[valid roost]

Can't wait for next season with Shayol Wei but of course we're getting this info through a Livestream first and no dedicated video

[amber terrace]

brehhhhh

[turbid agate]

What Heng sword attack isShayol getting?

[versed barn]

yeah its good question

i also want to know it

[west crater]

That jade that makes Yin Yang symbols on the ground.

Refinement, something like that. It's possible to get that attack via mastery jade.

[fierce light]

Hmm, if they gave it a 4 stack limit, I'm assuming getting a new stack refreshes all of them?

Cause otherwise, going to be hard to get more than 2 stacks on any build other than Thunder Mark.

[amber terrace]

[fierce light]

Zai's going to be pretty strong in Ruins at Lv. 21+

[amber terrace]

burning everywhere

[versed barn]

agree

https://klipy.com/gifs/storks-cute-wolves-i-agree-i-agree-i-agree-i-agree-storks-wolves

[kind escarp]

[valid roost]

I can't imagine Rent Firmament is that useful in a PVE context if that's what they're giving Shayol Wei

But then again, the only character with heng sword is Kylin who wouldn't use it to begin with

[fierce light]

Yeah her kit seems pretty meh aside from a decent damaging skill and a boss stagger in Ult.

[valid roost]

She's popular so people will use her anyways even if she's meh

But still a shame since I was expecting a bit more

[fierce light]

Stagger might come in clutch though

[valid roost]

Definitely for trios yeah, having a controlled stagger to manually time

I could see her be a Ziping Yin 2 Electric Boogaloo in terms of carrying bad players through some content

Thinking about it I wonder if thunderpull would proc her ult or not. I don't see why it would because then she'd be unplayable with ult using those kinda builds

[stoic rapids]

Shayol ?.? Wth

[valid roost]

I know it's too early to tell but are these jades anything that would actually benefit Matari or is it like poison mark all over again where it's decent at best

[fierce light]

It would be a bit awkward to use on her since you'd have to do a crouched Horizontal to activate the Triple Mark effect. It does line up well with her Flash buff though, so you could use:

• Skill → 8x Aegis-breaks → [Land on Ground] → Crouched Horizontal → Vermillion Bird Scorch

I'm assuming it'll hit hard so that should activate Moderation to use Skill again.

You'll have to make sure to dodge cancel out of your Defuse Counterattacks though, or you'll have to do another 3 Marks.

[valid roost]

It'd probably be more awkward if the boss raises up even slightly to make crouch H whiff than anything

[valid roost]

So basically the same as curio where if you use the defuse counteratrack she won't throw feathers, so you'll have to dodge out of it if I'm understanding you right

[fierce light]

Yeah

It goes right back into Aegis-breaks when you dodge after a Defuse.

[valid roost]

Then yeah that won't be much of an issue for Matari

[marble kindle]

Oh shoot Shayol?

[kind escarp]

oh yes... i can use valda next season as well

hope there isn't many jades to switch

[fickle linden]

make spear valda stronk so i can use my extreme spear effect

If you're talking about the showdown mode specifically, there's a website guide you can use in the pins to get started and it's comprehensive

[quartz swallow]

Well I just started the game so I don't even know what to do first😭😭😭

[kind escarp]

well u might have to play some matches to lvl up then

what do u prefer...pvp or pve

[valid roost]

Yeah, not much you can play if you're literally just starting because you gotta level up a bit

[quartz swallow]

I prefer pve

Until I level up

Unless pvp mode is evenly matched opponents

[fickle linden]

pvp mode is just bots

you cant lose

[kind escarp]

well to play pve u might have to play a few quick matches on pvp mode... 1st matches r gonna be ez so u don't have to worry

[valid roost]

I think you still gotta level up a bit to unlock the PVE mode but it's been so long I don't remember. I think it's level 15? But it shouldn't take long to unlock it either since the game is probably showering you in items to work with

But if you want a general guide on Naraka there's plenty on YouTube like this one https://youtu.be/QEptZXEWU0g?si=Mf4_8o1dCjZMi7oK

Doesn't cover anything PVE specific though

[quartz swallow]

Thank you all for the help

[kind escarp]

[quartz swallow]

[valid roost]

Some skills like movement transfer over to the entire game, it's least important in PVE but it helps to know in general

Either way take it one at a time since you're just starting

[kind escarp]

i was such a noob when i started playing...it took me 2 months just to finish tutorial 😭

[valid roost]

It was kind of a struggle to start out on PVP even after years of playing fighting games just because I had to learn how to play a battle royale and learn everything about Naraka

[kind escarp]

actually this is my 1st fighting game...so took some time to get used to literally everything lol

i mean then i explored everything else in existence

[valid roost]

Grapple combos took longer for me to learn than I wish I could admit

Though I guess if I were still on my 1660 Ti like when I started it would've been even harder

[turbid agate]

What is this for? Shayol's ult?

[valid roost]

This right here

[turbid agate]

Oh new jades

Ty Lich

[valid roost]

I wasn't expecting another season of marks tbh I was expecting something different but at least it's different from elemental marks

But I still worry it's gonna be too niche

[turbid agate]

Yeah

I figured more marks but I thought w Li since he's about perfect dodging

[valid roost]

Would've been good incentive to make people learn to perfect dodge more

I could see it being good on Akos Hu probably and IDK about anyone else

[turbid agate]

Yeah it would be, I'm excited for Shayol but hopefully Li comes soon, he's super fun in pvp.

[kind escarp]

1st time hearing this

[valid roost]

They had to add the waifu first, tough life for husbandos

Akos slipped by at first because he gets PVP favoritism by the devs

[kind escarp]

shayol just couldn't stay without zai

https://tenor.com/view/yuri-shayol-wei-zai-ji-yingying-jiyingying-gif-11702624067007996804

[misty bridge]

Which map is better to farm crystals in solo? peak or topaz?

[fierce light]

Enigma Domain isn't that good for farming Crystals in general. Nirriti's Ruins and Dangers in the Deep • Nightscream are the best options for that.

[misty bridge]

Ik, but which one is better of those two

[violet basin]

As of rn I’m fastest kylin across all servers XBOX n PS

I need a good trios group, if anyone wants to go for #1 spots lemme know

[sinful grail]

Ggs you're 1 sec faster than our PS EU

[fierce light]

Dangers in the Deep is the absolute best

[warped falcon]

Why does the next boss have to be a flying boss 🥹 gonna be so hard to fight it with matari’s curio

[kind escarp]

she's literally floating the whole time wdym

[valid roost]

Really can't imagine the boss will be that much harder to fight with Matari

It's like saying Korvine is hell to fight with Matari

[warped falcon]

Her feathers have a weird hitbox and this boss seems like it can evade them fairly easily

[kind escarp]

understandable but i mean it's terrible even on other bosses

lol shayol can spam stagger bosses

[valid roost]

Matari feathers barely have what I can call a hitbox on anyone, even enemies that are knocked down most likely won't be hit by her feathers, it's obnoxious

It does some mad damage though

[fierce light]

It doesn't seem overly skinny at least

That's the main thing that hurts her Curio

[loud citrus]

what new hero comin to the new season of showdown? or its not comin out then

[drifting lance]

🎉 | Tal♡ leveled up!

[marble kindle]

I'm telling you they're a ship, this ship is real

I saw the pictures, I understood the language

Shayol is gay af, only character to bend over two women

Theres no way its not true

[fierce light]

@amber terrace does White Tiger Bane (3x Heaven Mark/Counterstrikes) work for you?

[hollow herald]

Does video playback cover showdown as well?

[gleaming grove]

[fickle linden]

shayol

[fierce light]

Looks like a genshin area lol

New jades seem interesting. We might actually get more complex rotations than repeating 2 things every few seconds

[balmy coral]

we're getting gacha rotations now.

gacha location.

[amber terrace]

Yes

[shrewd mesa]

how tf is shayoi comin to showdown

[shrewd mesa]

where can i see the new jades

[fickle linden]

test server

[shrewd mesa]

oh.

[fickle linden]

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/jC40Lle5Kr_J_FGbOLberg

here is some stuff if u are interested

[shrewd mesa]

i am ty

i see nothing about being able to get old curios

pain 😭

[valid roost]

If they do ever do it then it'll be a rerun event. But I'm at the point I don't think it'll ever happen

[viscid wraith]

SHAYOL PLAYABLE?

[fickle linden]

sooon

now we just need her not to be boring to play

🙏

[fickle linden]

idk why i just find zai so boring in showdown

and zai is my fav hero

sucks

temulch 10000000000x more fun to play than zai what is this world

well tbf temulch is fun in pvp too, just boring in showdown without curio

[viscid wraith]

bow made him playable

[hollow herald]

Zai's ult feels weak in showdown

[fickle linden]

and curio made him fun

[viscid wraith]

so true I made a lot of temmy build this season

[fierce light]

It'll be stronger with the adjustment to Lv. 21

[viscid wraith]

what's the adjustment?

[fierce light]

She gets increased burn dmg from HydroFlare DMG bonuses

[fickle linden]

did someone post shayol lvl 21?

[valid roost]

Is there a specific time you're supposed to use Yoto ult to interrupt Agnivat's orbs in trios? Or is it just invest in aegis damage stats and skill does most of the work

[kind escarp]

you know who else r lesbos... viper and justina

https://tenor.com/view/naraka-bladepoint-yueshan-justina-gu-viper-ning-gif-13462108941909841566

they are cousins though 😔

[marble kindle]

Its okay, they're both girls

They can't dilute the gene pool

[kind escarp]

😆

[marble kindle]

well I guess its keeping it pure

[fierce light]

It's getting crazy

At least figure out what's causing the stutters and crashes.

[kind escarp]

that's the bare minimum atp...but id even take that 😭

every single time i enter a boss stage it fugging crashes

or i can't see boss at all

and a couple of minutes later a mysterious force killed me

[fierce light]

The worst when it crashes and cancels your run while you're doing the Easy Battle event.

[kind escarp]

that as well

i wonder if it is a xbox thing tho

[fierce light]

Seems to not be as common on PC

thank you sir

[sacred copper]

we don't get new gameplay mode in new season?

[versed barn]

@fierce light yoo

maybe you know how much doing dmg thunder chain without potential boost?

[fierce light]

Doesn't seem like it. No word on if they even fixed updated Nirriti's Ruins either.

[sacred copper]

sad

[fierce light]

A lot.

With Potential

• 2345% of Your Attack
• Scales from Divine Thunder DMG & Thunder-Wielding
  Without Potential
• 1708% of Your Attack
• Only scales from generic DMG Bonuses.

[versed barn]

ehh wish i have 7 more potential point or this thunder chain is automatically scalled with divine thunder dmg

cuz idk how i can hit paragon 20 under 1 minute with my build

maybe i still can in perfect run do 58-59 s but its extremly hard

[rotund forge]

oh she solo the trios

[fierce light]

Haven't watched it yet, but I can imagine the skill being quite good for mobbing quickly

Damn so they got rid of the lotus potential tree all together.

[balmy urchin]

The new showdown season is coming next week, have they not release any trailer for the new season 😔

[fathom edge]

They probably gonna do on Monday 🤷🏻‍♂️

[valid roost]

RIP lotus, it will now remain in Nirriti I guess. Unless they decide one day to murder it from there too

[exotic canopy]

wonder what the alternative to thunder lotus mark wil be

[misty bridge]

[viscid wraith]

I think it's solo topaz

[limpid pecan]

they deleted lotus?

[sleek bronze]

shayol defuse is so coolll

[coral shard]

disagree, i think zai's was so much better tbh

[fierce light]

Usually get it shortly after the article

[fierce light]

Thunder Mark Chain

They nerfed the build overall on Justina, but should still be strong

[turbid agate]

How will it work with no lotus potential tree tho?

[valid roost]

Apparently so, no longer on the potential tree, rip lotus

[fierce light]

Whoops, meant to type Thunder Mark Chain

[cursive fable]

hii zero

[viscid wraith]

[fierce light]

👋🏾

[shrewd mesa]

can someone lwk boost me in legend ruins so i can get the red jade

[violet basin]

In half the amount of time you’ve been asking to get carried thru legend mode you could’ve done it yourself

Why do u need to be carried just go beat it

[balmy coral]

wow rude

Just help the guy

[violet basin]

Go ahead then

[fierce light]

Easy Battle event is probably the best time to clear Legend tbh

Can get really powerful builds with those 22 refreshes.

[shrewd mesa]

easy battle event?

[fierce light]

During the weekend, there's an event boosting drops either from Enigma Domain or Nirriti's Ruins

But it also gives an extra effect to make the clear easier

This week it's Nirriti's Ruins, Easy Battle should show on your lobby screen

[shrewd mesa]

oh.

its more that im like 20 or so level below

its not hard really

just the dmg prob

[turbid agate]

Just go ziping, makes it easier. If I happen to get on later, I can help. (No promises though).

[valid roost]

Yeah zip trivializes Nirriti in general

[cerulean temple]

Do we have any kylin mains in paragon 20 ?

whats the best way to trigger thunder

Start with what ? charged vertical ? skill

[sinful grail]

Iirc from the videos I've seen it is mostly musket

[fierce light]

Get an early defuse or counter off

Musket dodge cancel spam at the start

[cerulean temple]

tyy

[shrewd mesa]

i was able to do it after a couple attempts its just that the bosses was lwk 1 shotting me 😭

[valid roost]

Legend is hard for everyone but what is your fire forge level at

[shrewd mesa]

it was at 10

or 9

something like that

its more rng than anything some bosses i just dont know the patterns 😭

[valid roost]

That's one reason they'd be one shotting you since you're missing stats

But important thing is you cleared it

It'll reset when next season starts

[marble kindle]

My friends hate me when I use Akos in Nittri

I throw people everywhere

The Ziping told me to stop

I got her killed

Because she couldn't spin

Skill issue but its not just her

[fierce light]

Yeah Akos is my go to farmer for Nirriti's

Only character I got to 25 for that reason

Nearly solo'd Heroes Assemble with him too, very strong kit

[violet basin]

I just got 34 with kylin I’m in complete disbelief, I even said yesterday 35 is the max for console players but u can hit 34 with perfect RNG and a perfect run.

[fierce light]

Great work. Should be a safe spot

[violet basin]

The person below me is a straight tip rider who copies every build and every move I make so it feels good to know he’s stuck below me. I’ve beat him all season but I was worried he’d win right here at the end so I kept on the gas and I’m glad it paid off.

[fickle linden]

what's ur fastest hard time

[fierce light]

2:34

[fickle linden]

whenever i've played nirriti past 6 months i've been using zai just to lvl up whipsword slowly

[fierce light]

That was before Lv. 21-25 was added too, so probably can do faster

[viscid wraith]

same she's so strong because of the burn buffs

[amber terrace]

oops

[fathom edge]

[finite gull]

since gen chat is useless and this is showdown related ill just copy it in here

how do I actually access the test server, on global test server I have 500+ ping and network error and i have 256ms ping for CN server that I cant access, I used to be able to get in when last I tried a year or so ago

[viscid wraith]

I'm not sure but I think only cn players can access the current test server right now

it's always been like this when it comes to showdown update

[kind escarp]

idk if i remember right but i think there was smth related to test server few weeks ago

whats the best hero and rings to run nirritis hard fast ?

im trying to farm crystals omg

always takes 5-6 min

[versed barn]

Kylin with thunder/elementals , Justine ice/elementals , Yueshan Cannon build

[fickle linden]

akos hu

[valid roost]

Zai hydroflare can also work, first boss dies in 5 seconds and second maybe 10 seconds

[fierce light]

Ice Essence

1. Element Confluence
2. Element Resonance
3. Element Priming
4. Element Fragility
5. Element Conversion
6. Enhanced Element

[cerulean temple]

I will try to get those rings also , might be based on luck a bit

[limpid pecan]

anything that increases dmg of ice blast pretty much

[fierce light]

Element Confluence is pretty huge, preferably before you grab Conversion as it allows you to proc Ice Blast with her Skill on mobs.

Which makes it freeze yourself for another free Skill at Tier 1 Blessing.

[cerulean temple]

from now on , nirritis hard until next TI xD

Wuchen swarm is op in showdown, but what souljades are best for his swarm, like do some reduce the time to charge it? If so someone tell me what's the best souljades pls

[fair jungle]

i think stacking as much atk as possible
poison surge, pool, miasma, backfire, vigor and subzero/desperation

smth like that

[urban imp]

[chilly kestrel]

atk, deadeye build rate, dmg to boss, range weapon dmg. 1 windfall on each jades

the pin website has the swarm build in detail

[sleek bronze]

look like it is time to do thunder scorch

maybe they buff it next season

[obsidian maple]

jo does someone know if they removedtwinshot?

wanted to make an cannon build on alt acc,but couldnt find twinshot in any drop list or drop it

[obsidian maple]

even without its mnot weak at all

[kind escarp]

check narakapedia section..u can use like 2 sj fragments to buy one

[obsidian maple]

buy one?

[kind escarp]

yeah..1min ill find a ss

[obsidian maple]

whats an ss

[kind escarp]

screenshot

[kind escarp]

that book...click that and there's a section for showdown souljades

[obsidian maple]

lul didnt know you can buy already found souldjades

thanks

[kind escarp]

u can get jades from old seasons as well

[obsidian maple]

i have a copy of all jades on my main , just havent made any ranged builds until now

the cannon mechanic seemed kinda fun so i wanna try it

[kind escarp]

usually that's were most players get jades for ranged builds...cuz most of them r from old seasons

[obsidian maple]

ah and you can even buy them if you havent found them

[kind escarp]

yes

twinshot was there

[obsidian maple]

crazy then i coulve saved the grinding on my 2 acc

[kind escarp]

[obsidian maple]

did manticore like 10 times to get mighty lotus counter

[kind escarp]

im not sure if u can get those tho

dont really remember...but ig its only valid for old jades from old seasons

which r mostly ranged ones

[obsidian maple]

just needed twinshot , i just do some builds on 2 acc that are not that common

so i dont waste material on badbuild

but yeah thanks alot , will make many things easyer

[kind escarp]

[fierce light]

Potential for Burn looks unchanged next season, but they already buffed it like crazy this season

[sleek bronze]

hope they do new jade set so i can choose the other

[versed barn]

buff? scorchings are meta since turmoil season .... are u crazy or what???

[obsidian maple]

didnt they add enough new jades etc over last seasons , i would prefer some new content.they didnt add much content besides inferno in quiete some time*

[sleek bronze]

i will happy if they delete nirriti lmao soooo booooring to play

[kind escarp]

not delete ..maybe replace

[obsidian maple]

i like nirritis

[versed barn]

i also like nirritis

[obsidian maple]

i do legend trios solo , wich makes it arder

[kind escarp]

cuz there's not much ways to farm crystals

[versed barn]

balanced mode then other sweaty modes

[obsidian maple]

but like solo or nightscream is rather boring after couple seasons

[kind escarp]

but it needs huge update to cover all new stuff

[obsidian maple]

its also nice to test out the ranged weapons without making a build

[versed barn]

you mean this blue ones?

[kind escarp]

yeah...im out of those now

[obsidian maple]

yeah i have poor luck , i needed to make 6 backfire jades to finally have it without moderation

[kind escarp]

prob have like 50...while i have 1k frags

no not even 50

[obsidian maple]

i have 0 , already bought the 4 out of gift shop already

[versed barn]

my probles is with jade fragments

[obsidian maple]

my luck is crazy bad so it mostly takes much ,last season i got scorching on poison lotus 17 times in a row

[kind escarp]

i had 0 last week..but i did niri with an elixer so got some extra for now

[versed barn]

i need nearly 8k jade fragments to burn crystals

but whatever

[obsidian maple]

i have every jade 1 time and like 900 fragments tho

[versed barn]

this mode is boring af

[obsidian maple]

wich mode , showdown?

[versed barn]

yeah, one build meta since turmoils isnt fun

why they adding new jades

[obsidian maple]

yeah as said,i also only do weeklys mostly

[versed barn]

when they sucks

[kind escarp]

eh wasnt burn nerfed and only buffed a bit this season

[obsidian maple]

its the same over and over for quiete some time

[obsidian maple]

its still crazy strong tho ,

[versed barn]

yeah cuz you need 4 scorchings and now you dont need even a draco stride

[kind escarp]

yeah i made one as well for valda

didnt max it tho

[obsidian maple]

yeah same , got mine nearly maxed now

its also quiete fun

so now im kinda doing all the ranged stuff that i like

[kind escarp]

i dont really max builds anymore...so i have enough for multiple builds

i made 2 decent builds this season

[obsidian maple]

@fierce light can you maybe tell me if theres a valid swarm build,looked at ur side for one but the one jade isnt avaliable anymore

[fierce light]

You can use Swarm in Thunder Scorch

[obsidian maple]

same , i go to like 3/4 attack and same value on other stats

[fierce light]

Or go purely for stats

[obsidian maple]

only maxing some builds ,but i prefer to just make more b uilds to have variety

[kind escarp]

same lol

no point maxing if u dont compete for top 3

[fierce light]

Pure Stats

• Pestilent Pool, Element Surge, Miasma Drive, Backfire, Renewed Vigor & Sub-Zero Seal/Shattered Edge.

[obsidian maple]

i have 0 badges ,i just do the yamas with tessa most of the time cuz i enjoy her defuse most

and leave it at that

[obsidian maple]

thats a swarm build? or am i lost

[obsidian maple]

so its nearly normal scorching build just with thunder swarm jade

[kind escarp]

i maxed my build and got the badge last season but it doesnt really feel satisfying...wish it gave 10 seasonal chest or smth....my main is tessa as well since her release...love her defuse

made the thunder mark build just for her

[fierce light]

Yeah, it runs stat boosting jades since there aren't any with direct synergy with Swarm at the moment.

Unlike Bow with Scattershot Enhance

[fierce light]

The elemental swarm jade isn't even necessary either as it doesn't increase the damage it deals. Just the accumulation rate, but 1 Deadeye attack is enough to proc pretty much any element already.

they giving all new heroes different colors now...dk when they gonna update old ones and give smth other than red

[obsidian maple]

you mean her release in showdown or normal mode?,cuz i used to main justina ,wuchen andtessa when i actively playedranked

so happy about the justina in showdown cuz i barely play normal mode since it got less focus on actual weapon combat

[kind escarp]

showdown...i dont really play other stuff...so idk what anyone not in showdown can do/their skills or anything much

so even shayol is brand new content for me

even as a hero

[obsidian maple]

i havent played more then 30 games last 2 season also and 25 were bot games

from release until then i played in top 500 eu rank solo

ur not missing out on anything tho , meta champs win by pressing ult mostly

[kind escarp]

same lol...its mostly bot mode if i really have to play...even then id just play yoto or viper

[signal kite]

Rumour says still playing showdown in big 26 is a sign of brain dead 🪾

i saw u were grinding yama last week lil bro

[signal kite]

Avg showdown players playing the same as$ mode to grind again and again

[fickle linden]

pretty cool effect but damn is it ugly asf weapon in showdown BP again

and very small effect

[limpid pecan]

what a homeless looking skin

they got me to buy this bp for zai and shayol effect

but thats about it

[fickle linden]

ngl those effects are kinda weak too

akos had way better ones

[limpid pecan]

not insane but

[fickle linden]

traaash

[limpid pecan]

whatever

[kind escarp]

ehe i mean i didn't really play last 3 weeks... did some bp quests to get to lvl 115 and got db extreme...then just login to get discord points

[fickle linden]

yeah zai and shayol are my 2 fav heroes in the game, and my most played heroes (in pvp)

and dont got any other use for gold atp

so guess i get this bp too

like the sucker i am

the bar for showdown BP is low as it can be, but i feel like every single season they make it worse and worse 😄

atleast they finally use different colors for hero vfx

the bare minimum

[kind escarp]

sooo mid lol

[limpid pecan]

showdown is on life support

for past 2 years or so

they just pump out 2 bosses every 3-6 months

[signal kite]

Same ass mode

[limpid pecan]

and some maps we will play once and forget about thme

meanwhile we lack the most basic QoL

[kind escarp]

still waiting for the story mode

[fickle linden]

i wish the showdown BP atleast gave the gold back like pvp one

[limpid pecan]

like why we can;t filter stats of jades by percentage?

[kind escarp]

fr...such a scam

[limpid pecan]

would be nice to have score that counts X jade fragments to bring it to the state it is right now from minimal stats

so if u loot jade with max stat

u can keep it

and deconstruct crap

in general showdown is pve mode

but it has worst looting out of all modes

there is 0 excitement for loot

its just slowly grinding numbers to slog through their awful RNG machines

wow im so excited i got scorching instead of windfall

really i love this mode

also for some reason

to make it even more boring

they require players to treat showdown as full time job

to play more than 1 build

[kind escarp]

are they gonna do that boss rush event...

don't really wanna grind niri

[limpid pecan]

they should just

port rift map to showdown

add random stats on weapons/armors

we drop/craft pink/red gear

like in rift

add fkton of mobs and objectives

to rift map

with some randmness

[kind escarp]

bruh...ew no

[limpid pecan]

what ew no

robust loot system is cornerstone of PVE mode

[kind escarp]

add the map...make it a story mode with interactions

and explore the lore

[limpid pecan]

rn the jades are disaster

they are just time tax for playing a build

they remove stats from jades

and instead u craft stat orbs

which u can insert into jades

and remove them when u want

so if u craft 4% attack

u can use it on any build

[kind escarp]

i had a whole dream about this topic... u could merge all modes in Showdown to a map and make it go around... also add the shop in to the world as well with a crafting mechanics...craft jades,flux etc... and at different locations there will be bosses and portals... etc... blah blah blah

[limpid pecan]

hm could be i guess

rn showdown is 50% waiting for loading screens and settlement screens

[kind escarp]

yes... booring

[limpid pecan]

and the maps are so short

it doesnt feel satisfying

imagine u play BR game

[fickle linden]

rn also pvp is 50% waiting to find a game

[limpid pecan]

that lasts 3 minutes

[fickle linden]

naraka waiting simulator

[limpid pecan]

management of naraka is dreadful rn

[kind escarp]

imagine having to open a rift to enter yama or niri.. and wgen u go arround random boss will jump u

killing them will give u a flux shard

[limpid pecan]

also its annoying in yama the floor doesnt have good markings

would be nice

if u could tell more easily

which side is which

[kind escarp]

oh yeah that

[limpid pecan]

would be nice if there was circle showing where boss will spawn

[kind escarp]

or atlease reset ur position like everything else

[limpid pecan]

there are so many super easy QoL changes

they could make

like elemental blast triggers on overkill

make bosses spawn in enigma after runestone activation only

[kind escarp]

oh yeah that would be cool as well

[fickle linden]

wouldn't mind the change to restart yama's instead of exiting after a kill run

now i need to reset level before boss dies

[limpid pecan]

yeah its super ass

having to do this

[fickle linden]

or to be able to swap curio/jades in yama's

[limpid pecan]

and this sht is in game

like this

for ages

nothing done

idk

[fickle linden]

it's annoying asf to load everything again just to try few runs with another curio awakening

[kind escarp]

hate the whole ..."oh u overkilled now go fk urself" mechanic

[fickle linden]

and then again leave the yama's to swap back

[limpid pecan]

when i leveled justina to 25

solo enigma

literally unplayable

xD

think u need like wave 7 or something

before normal mobs survive F

[kind escarp]

lol its too fast that it takes forever in the end

[limpid pecan]

the only good thing about showdown

its rly fast at doing quests

i had 50 healing berries/armor powder quest

i just munched heals in yama with swift heal

XD

[kind escarp]

yeah that's all ive been doing these days

just go manticore normal and beat his aah 50 times

[signal kite]

They should delete showdown and then delete the game

[kind escarp]

im gonna touch u lil bro

[limpid pecan]

but also idk

[kind escarp]

[limpid pecan]

looking at "content"

BR gets
