[hoary mason]

it only takes about 20 sec to gewt in a match

[grand bluff]

Oh wait

I mean is there interest in unspent MP in ILV Arena battles?

[smoky python]

Not in PVP

[brazen quarry]

[plush gate]

affinities arent adding up properly

have 3 frost on board counts as 2 frost ect

[grand bluff]

Okay thanks

[hoary mason]

Probably not just a frost

[plush gate]

its the same for nature affinity and fighter from what ive seen just today

seemed to be working yesterday

i have a phorus and it counts as 1 bloom and when i go to add phosphorus its still 1 bloom

sadness

[tulip tiger]

gg mart

[dark vine]

are they from the same line?

[dark vine]

yeah, same line counts as one

Jokull and Jotun would be still one frost

[plush gate]

yeah okay i did not know that

thanks for enlightening me

[south spire]

Magma and air deck turned out really cool. Thanks everyone! happy deck building!

It worked

[slow iron]

Will give it a try after the Las Vegas TFT Tourney next week

[elder ore]

Hey guys, any advice how to counter attipo empath deck?

[raven obsidian]

You can't have multiple from the same line of illuvial. E.g. for 2 frost you could have Slashin and Jotun, for the 3rd you woukd have to bond your ranger with one of them with correct choice of weapon to create the frost affinity for your ranger

[tulip tiger]

Check out those augments. Some reduce healing efficiency

[elder ore]

can those augments be stacked? lets say exalted -40% + great -30% = 70% reduced healing?

[tulip tiger]

Yes father

[elder ore]

oh my 😄 thanks

[tulip tiger]

Hmu anytime 😄

[hoary mason]

I am a very social person when it comes to games, and Illuvium in general is very independent. If in the future we could see 2v2 and clan battles this would fix that part. Also making a ranked 2v2 would be so hype. And for overworld maybe a possible buff for tagging with a friend, you and your buddy could go in an loot together, that would be sick.

[tulip tiger]

We stay in voice chat chilling and playing 🙂 I like your idea to

[serene lance]

Very nice

[lusty sleet]

@hallow notch GG

@unique ether GG sir, we went the distance

[unique ether]

Indeed!!!

[lusty sleet]

Glad I was packing the 40% & 30% Healing Reduction Augment

That comp was mega tanky to get through

[unique ether]

That made the difference bro

[elder rover]

Is there a library for the words used in the game?

[distant surge]

Been running a collasal/ invoker shock comp melts them pretty quick

[elder ore]

I have collosal/invoker but I get wrecked all the time, cannot get thru their heals and shields. You go early invoker shock?

[distant surge]

I go 3 water bulwarks first round, then the 10mp fire psion cannon thing, connect ranger in 2nd round to the giant squid air affinity (I forget its name lol) so you get shocks round two. You will prolly lose round one but win round two forward. Round three if they have no assasins the put out level two crab and seaforus (the granite invoker). You will melt them round three with 4 invokers.

[storm tundra]

Does the game keep waiting even after 0s and doesn’t start?

[elder ore]

thanks, will try that

[azure wigeon]

a lot ot freezing

[hallow notch]

Gg!

[hallow notch]

This happens to me occasionally too. I think its like a disconnect/reconnect thing going on, or server lag. Not sure

[azure wigeon]

yeah very disturbing

[distant surge]

@austere spear pretty sure we just faced each other hahah

[austere spear]

it's been happening to me almost every game, game will go to 0 and nothing will load

[austere spear]

GG's! haha

[opaque cape]

illuvialmaster has a dictionary

[elder rover]

Thanks

[obtuse summit]

Stage 1 sword cant be say toxic when bonding to an toxic illuvial?

[serene lance]

Toxic is water + nature, so if you have a nature sword for example, and you bond with a toxic illuvial who is water dominant, then yes it will make toxic.

[obtuse summit]

So stage 1 tier 1 sword and nature will make a toxic combination?

[opaque cape]

any water sword bonded to any nature unit will make toxic

[serene lance]

water weapon + nature bond
nature weapon + water bond

both = toxic

[elder rover]

What happened to my game it stucked

[obtuse summit]

Same with an berserker, only need fighter swrod also and no specifik tier?

[opaque cape]

fighter sword bonded to any other fighter

[elder rover]

Wew glad I still won, being afk for 4 rounds

Luckily I got reconnected

[plain dagger]

Hey Fam today was sick battles 🔥🔥 thanks to all my opponents 😉

[velvet wyvern]

Do we have a leaderboard already published?

[serene lance]

Yeah nah empath atippo clump is still busted

Grant said there is an anti shield augment coming

Cant wait

[plain dagger]

Hope legendary one)

[serene lance]

There needs to be a normal one so you can have it every game, legendary wont always come up, and the opponent would never let you get it

[plain dagger]

And that’s what I want

[serene lance]

r u atippo spammer?

[velvet wyvern]

I have no problem with the attipo / empath opponents

Kill em with fire 🔥 if you know you know 🤓

[plain dagger]

👍

[plain dagger]

No , just like atippos to much

[safe stirrup]

holy i just got 700 omega power

[fair hemlock]

I capped at ~500 once. 700 is crazy 😮

[safe stirrup]

whats the actual cap? cause i got umbre to like a crazy attack speed but they said it caps at 250

whats omega power cap at?

[languid sparrow]

You can filter illuvials by Attack Speed 👀 & MORE

[fair hemlock]

I got the attack speed of my phyriox to like 350 once. But i couldnt see whether it hit faster.
I think Omega Power doesnt have a cap. Phosphorus was like 80% damaging Seeforus with one omega at some point.

[languid sparrow]

Nice to know that red Panda line will be in the top line.

[safe stirrup]

when will the stuck in arena and round wont start be fixed? come on garf fix it i know ur a dev

[fair hemlock]

Lol i wish

I get afraid seeing code 😄

[plain dagger]

Today, the preschool teacher mentioned that my 6-year-old son spent the entire day playing a game with everyone. "He's teaching them and getting them to play. Are you familiar with his interests?" Joy and paternal pride🥰. On his side of the arena: Atlas, Rhamphyre, Phyri, and Ranger. Against him: Gnarl, Slappin, Fire Fliish, and Ranger. Mozart on the sidelines.😂😂😂

[brazen quarry]

No way, this is so cool

[languid sparrow]

Grant may love it

[brazen quarry]

@low halo new pfp

[languid sparrow]

We can clearly see the Ranger with it weapon

[proven ember]

there is no omega power cap

[languid sparrow]

Is there attack speed cap ? Or which stats have cap ?

[brazen quarry]

They should put a cap on your powers cause you awesome

[proven ember]

betty's account has a been hacked.

but thanks ❤️

in the current version, you will be able to play with all assets.

When the Open Beta comes out, you will have a free-to-play area. You would be able to obtain and grind for a number of Illuvials, but those will not be viable on their own for competitive decks. You would have to go on paid expeditions, something similar to opening Pokemon Packs, to obtain the more powerful and rare Illuvials.
Imagine having a free beginners deck, but if you want to go competitive or climb the ladders, you have to start obtaining the paid assets.

You also have this in Hearthstone right? You can get quite far without paying, but at some point you would fall behind if you didn't buy packs. But in Illuvium you would own the assets, and be able to trade/sell them with someone else 🙂

[pine field]

Is what i meant

[twilit storm]

@brazen quarry read then write

Educate instead of trolling

[marsh bloom]

Free To Play

Begin your adventure with a free-to-play experience that takes you to our richly detailed world, where everyone starts with equal opportunities. Immerse yourself in thrilling gameplay and grasp the fundamentals of the game. The free-to-play experience in the Tier 0 regions offers a full and engaging gameplay experience, without any limitations.

If you enjoy the free-to-play experience, you have the option to dive into the paid elements of the game and discover higher tiered regions, collecting valuable NFTs and embarking on more exciting adventures.

Please keep in mind that after the game's launch, it will be possible to list Tier 0 NFTs on the IlluviDEX to sell them for ETH. However, the value of these NFTs cannot be guaranteed as it is an open market and the price will be influenced by supply and demand factors controlled by the players.

Game Economy

Illuvium offers various ways to participate in the play-to-earn (P2E) economy, including the option to:

• Sell captured Illuvials
• Sell farmed materials
• Sell crafted items
• Earn a portion of the 1 Million ILV reserved for in-game rewards

Please note that while the game itself is free to play, a monetary commitment is required to fully participate in the earning aspect of the economy

[pine field]

Those paid assets can increase in value

[fair hemlock]

They theoretically could. There will be sets where an Illuvial will be available. Later on they would go "extinct" and you would only be able to buy them from other players.

[pine field]

I see

[pine field]

Hmm i see

[fair hemlock]

But it's a game, and the assets inside will be tradable. If the game can't hold their player base, then the assets can lose value as well.

[pine field]

True

I really hope it doesnt become [rich beats poor] vibe

I wish there was something where its more about rarity but its still obtainable for free its just absolutrly rare in a sense

But game is amazing , looks absolutely sharp so

Im sure it wilp be amazing

[fair hemlock]

There will be holographic and Perfect-stat Illuvials even in the free-to-play areas.

Those will be significantly more rare than your avarage Illuvials

[twilit storm]

it s a free game so you can have fun without spending uh?

[pine field]

🫢

Hopefully ! I thinj that should be the bigger goal

Otherwise ita not all fair or equal and becomes pay 2 win

[twilit storm]

nah..there will be a free part so no need to spend money. Like other games..if you want you can buy some "fuel" and roam into higher tier lands...hunting rares illuvials to sell or to use ingame

[fair hemlock]

there needs to be some pay to win in card games. But in illuvium, if you buy a legendary card, you actually own it.
If the game stays popular, you could probably sell it for the value it cost you initially 🙂

[golden garden]

Hearthstone is a bad analogy because you CAN compete at high levels being completely F2P, it just takes longer to grind, earn gold, and get the cards you need.

[obtuse summit]

I dont really understand invoker ability. 25% max energy as omega power, thats that?

[fair hemlock]

Well, you cán grind, sell your max level Illuvials and buy the rare ones off the market if you are lucky / immense amounts of spare time.

But yeah it's difficult to find a good comparison since it's a new economic model. Maybe MTG would be better

[golden garden]

I think it means 25% of their energy bar is converted to energy damage during their omega ability. Energy damage is like magic damage.

[rich pasture]

@fair hemlock Hi Sir, What is the difference between Empath & Psion?

[high stream]

that game @plush gate ! WP bro

[plush gate]

really close one

[high stream]

yhea ^^

[plush gate]

probably closest one ive played so far

[high stream]

me too haha

[bronze spire]

empath = everyone gets shields. Psion = everyone gets omega power

[rich pasture]

Roger that, thanks! How about Rogue and Fighter?

[ebon pagoda]

so we need a wallet to use the team builder?

it opens my mm

im just gonna use the given deck

this bot?

[smoky python]

Jag actually playing the game?

omg

[ebon pagoda]

lol

[brazen quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-crypto-bullish-bull-market-gif-21332204

[ebon pagoda]

took awhile to download but i made it

[elder estuary]

Is there a way to view match history/how many games I've played?

[elder estuary]

It opens MM but you don't need to login to MM
Just login to your illuvium account via email, then you can use teambuilder. And close the MM popup

[ebon pagoda]

oh thx

[cyan olive]

It means they buff every other Invoker’s omega power(which makes their abilities deal more damage) every time they cast.
So eg if your ability costs 100energy, they cast and buff 20%, aka 20 omega power to every invoker on your team.

[ebon pagoda]

jag is a pro player

[languid sparrow]

When Invoker compotiste is active 2-3-4 all Illuvials will have their Omega Power increase by X.

[wide eagle]

wait thats u lol? im pretty sure we played yday

[ebon pagoda]

my first game

with someone named jaganite?

[brave grotto]

All the illuvials no, just invokers, isn't it?

[languid sparrow]

Only the illuvials who have the class composite Invoker = Psion + Psion

[tame violet]

True sight means cannot be blinded or atk cant miss?
How about True sight vs dodge?

[languid sparrow]

@proven ember I don't know if Illuvium is working on it, but it would be nice to see the number of stacks on the augments or composites—anything that can stack.

[dusky cedar]

Hi sers, when i bond my character to an illuvial, let's say i want to bond with Ophisto, checking Shock stat extra.

It takes the underlying one and not the shock.

Is this normal, can i change it? I thought i saw something else on youtube

idk if my question is clear xD

[safe valve]

you also need to equip a weapon to get shock.
Depends on your weapon affinity and the dominant trait of the bonded illuvial.

[storm tundra]

How to cancel move i keep accodentally clicking my unit and cant cancel move and waste my energy

[worldly jolt]

ESC

also Z to undo

[storm tundra]

Yay thanks

[twin mortar]

is that a bug that says none of them have any attack damage?

[undone kite]

Hey team competitive MTG player here - Are there any plans for MTG Arena style ranks (persistent once a certain rank is acquired in the season) and season rewards for PVP? Playing towards a certain achievable milestone would certainly help with sense of progression and cohort stickiness. For reference, MTGA is using a glicko style system that incorporates rating, deviation and volatility and top rank (mythic) requires roughly 150 hours of gameplay on 60% winrate, 45 hours at 70% winrate etc.

[languid sparrow]

No, they do ahve Energy Damage, we will add the stats.
Psion and Empath do Energy Damage.

[twin mortar]

yeah energy damage should be considered in attack damage no?

[languid sparrow]

There 2 kind of Damage for auto attack dmg Physical and Energy

[twin mortar]

right, and “attack damage” seems like it should cover both on the website

[twin mortar]

unless you guys specifically separate them, which it doesn’t appear has been done

[languid sparrow]

We will fix it, thx

We will separate them.

[storm tundra]

Yes all planned said kieran

[elder estuary]

Grit == Physical damage reduction
Resolve == Energy damage reduction
^Is that correct?

How do I tell which damage I am taking, which is red / white in the damage meter?

Edit: Is omega damage a third damage type? Or does it resolve as either physical or energy depending on the omega?

[elder estuary]

Oh wow didn't know that!!

Can also right click to remove points when bidding for augments 😄

[languid sparrow]

There 3 type of dmg Physical(red) Energy(light blue) and Pure dmg (white).

[coarse echo]

this is correct

[elder estuary]

Okay thanks, at least I think I can remember red "blood" == physical... Then I'll know whether I need more grit or resolve 🙂

"Grit my teeth" when getting physically hit

"Mental Resolve" to resist magic

That's how I'm remembering it haha

[coarse echo]

grit and resolve are flat physical and energy damage reduction. physical resistance and energy resistance are percentage based reduction.

[elder estuary]

Okay thanks!

[onyx sundial]

Hasn't been announced how ranks will fully work. Seasonal pvp rewards has been mentioned but also not announced. If you've got a good idea on how ranks should work though feel free to chuck it in the feedback/ideas channel

[dusky cedar]

Ooh that's what i was missing indeed, thanks. will look in to it

[formal crown]

👀

[dusky cedar]

damm pro 😮

[fair hemlock]

same deck you were using against me?

[formal crown]

new one

[dusky cedar]

pls gib

[dusky cedar]

is there perhaps some guide somewhere on this topic?

[young wagon]

where did you get that information from? Any web or something?

[dusky cedar]

debuilder, take the class in deck and go to affinity tab, hover over invoker

[hearty yew]

Hey guys, what does "Gain 40 thorns" do?
Does it reflect 40% of the taken damage?
Does it reflect 40 per attack?
Or something else? both looks very strong ^^

[rich pasture]

@safe valve Hi Sir, What is the difference between Survival and Ascendent?

[languid sparrow]

Yeah, mostly from Team builder.
We collect all data to help the community to have a better understanding of the game.

[safe valve]

watch out in #🎨〕community-content , i bet there are many vids where people explain

[young wagon]

I was referring rather to the graph itself, not to the information of the invokers as such. Is it from some external page or something?

[supple cave]

I think the red panda line will help a lot with an ophisto comp

not to mention the inferno phantom moth and rhamph going to be mad good

[young wagon]

By the way, does anyone know what happens to the extra critical when an Illuvial reaches 100%? Does it become a crit amp or is it useless?

[languid sparrow]

I made the graph in Excel it's just a quick prototype 😛

[still sand]

yo guys is team builder deck not working?/

[young wagon]

Oh okay, very good job, I thought it was from a website, tool or something.

[still sand]

yo guys is team builder deck not working?/

[west quartz]

alright now we're talking !

[languid sparrow]

Well on our website you can find the stats of illuvials when you click on the illuviary. illuvihub.gg

[twin mortar]

i was digging around the website, really like what you guys are doing on there (especially once the 0 attack damage missing info gets fixed)

[still sand]

yoooooo team builder deck not working?

[dusky cedar]

#💬〕general message this one helped a lot 😄 was searching on "bond affinity" instead of just bond, mb.

[supple cave]

seems to be working here

[untold plover]

you have the bug where it just take you to the main page?

[still sand]

yes exactly!

[untold plover]

log out and back in should fix(on the webpage)

[dusky cedar]

Interesting website thank you.

[still sand]

thanks bro will try it

[languid sparrow]

Thanks we appreciate those comments.

In the illuviary you can filter illuvials by their stats

[opaque cape]

@cyan olive time to go do another one 😄

[waxen swan]

i

hate

empaths

[twin mortar]

the filtering was 100% my favorite part yes, i don’t think any of the other 3rd party websites have that yet

[opaque cape]

but they are nerfed 😄

[waxen swan]

ahahahahaha

it was so hopeless i tried everything

even made my caurdolux a slayer

[opaque cape]

i laughed so hard at the cardulox jumping my backline

[waxen swan]

yeah i was like might as well try it

ive tried everything my deck has against empaths

[opaque cape]

well to be fair your deck isnt very good 😄

[waxen swan]

ye ofc im not gonna use any of my tournament ones for ranked

zz

[opaque cape]

too many expensive units, gets rolling too late

ah that's fair

[languid sparrow]

Pretty close to Diamond 1 👀 only missing 9 points!
Let's go GodOfPB2

[opaque cape]

thats what im doing as well

[waxen swan]

ya

i think my troll deck could maybe beat empaths

5 air rogue spam with fire and other fun stuff

[opaque cape]

oh lol im not even diamond yet with this elo

nothing to brag about then

[azure wigeon]

whats the website name?

how to get shock affinity?

[worldly jolt]

Air fire does seem to work

[azure wigeon]

why i cant play Shock? any way to make it out?\

[worldly jolt]

Shock is a composite. Of fire and air. There’s only one shock line at the moment. We await red panda line still.

Stage three red panda is shock right @languid sparrow ?

[coarse echo]

Roo is shock as well 👀

[worldly jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/guitar-kangaroo-roo-autobattler-rpg-gif-22412583

[dusky cedar]

you can get it by bonding your ranger while equiping a water weapon, go to training, Ophisto is availble there atm, so you can test it out

[brazen quarry]

I don't think you can make shock with water. If I remember correct it's Air / Fire

[dusky cedar]

ah sorry i'm a low iq

but yes basically the opposite of the dominant

I find out in deckbuilder whats the dominant and then take the opossite.. probably better sites out there like illuvihub .gg ,illuvimasters is also amazing

[lunar pebble]

what the PC specs requirement for illivium? where can I check?

[dusky cedar]

Gud question, i know for overworld it was 1060 GTX minimum , not sure about Arena.

My friend was FPS lagging on a laptop with onboard video card

[lunar pebble]

saw it

i did screenshot from store page but i cannot upload here

[west plume]

Anyone else feel Mozart should be bigger and the emotes to be more in your face?

Or in the other peoples face

[proven ember]

Looking into it 🙂

[azure wigeon]

i mean, how to ophisto get the shock affinity?

[dusky cedar]

you pair your ranger to the illuvial with the opposite of his main afinity

so if your shock illuvial is main Air, you take a fire weapon.
If the illuvial is main fire, you take air weapon

[brazen quarry]

Yes

It’s gotten me killed so many times with my memes

Imagine having that beautiful 100 extra omega, then it goes to someone else who just dies

Poison is, at max stacks it applies healing debuff

toxic itself doesn't directly

[proven ember]

Have you reported in game? thats the best way to get in the system

[safe stirrup]

Nah just in discord a couple times

how can i build my own team?

You can press b in game and report fast

[zenith bough]

Click on the ‘new team’ button where you usually choose between the different teams before a fight

[lament jasper]

but the site won't open. It just goes to the home page.

[zenith bough]

Try logging in with your account, go to the arena menu, scroll down a bit and there is a link to team builder

[hasty lichen]

How can I see the rank list?

[zenith bough]

You need to be a team member to do that

So I guess, get hired by Illuvium Labs

[cyan olive]

EMPHATY IS STILL BROKEN, ITS ABSURD

[lethal widget]

arcanite is a pretty hard counter

[raven obsidian]

I reported some feedback regarding some QoL player preferences in the reporter tool but will add them here for others to see if they agree or not:

• Filter options for deck should save across each game. e.g. I prefer to have my illuvials/augments/weapons etc go from low to high cost. Would be nice if it stayed like that from game to game unless I change it myself.
• Camera position should again be set to players preference and stay like that across each game.
• The little drop down arrows that show affinities and classes should be set to players preference too. e.g. I prefer having mine set side by side instead of stacked on top of each other.

These are just some little features I thought of whilst playing that are all opinion based to each player.

[elder estuary]

@lusty sleet gg that was close

[sullen dew]

Hi guys. Can i play illuvium on epic games in PVP vs my friends?

[raven obsidian]

yes absolutely 🙂

@elder estuary thank you, everyone would be delighted in public)

[glad obsidian]

How many mastery points do we start off with each round?

[echo yew]

Any of you guys know how I can get the health bars off the screen?

[sullen dew]

Guys, what is the maximum Illuvium I can use on my field?

[echo yew]

8

+ranger

[fair hemlock]

ctr shift H

[sullen dew]

How much is that in total?

[echo yew]

Thk u

8 illuvials 9 pieces on board

[fair hemlock]

eight illuvials xD

[sullen dew]

It doesn't matter which tear is the question?

[fair hemlock]

nope you can do whatever you want

[sullen dew]

Ty

[fair hemlock]

you can place 4 scoriox and 4 sear... if it's good is a different story

wait...

is it? XD

[sullen dew]

I played now against a character I think had more than 8 pieces

[zenith bough]

You can’t place more than one

[fair hemlock]

you can';t!?

shit

[zenith bough]

On the board

No’’

[fair hemlock]

bahh

shit

[zenith bough]

In team

Yes

[elder estuary]

stops building new deck

[fair hemlock]

yep

[zenith bough]

Glad to be of service

[fair hemlock]

thanks Positivity

[elder estuary]

🤣

[lethal widget]

Yeah you can have multiple in a deck in case you need to switch out dominant affinity/class

[elder estuary]

Yooo what how do you move mozart around :o? Damn I got so distracted I didn't place all my units lol

[safe valve]

Ctrl+ leftclick

Or was it right Click?

[elder estuary]

ahaha right click

amazing

almost messed up my turn again XD

So good

[safe valve]

😂

[elder estuary]

OH this is amazing hahaha

@gritty wren this is so incredibly distracting 🤣

[gritty wren]

hahaha

GG

[elder estuary]

Wow okay that was not the play 🤣 💀

Man that toxic is so strong. Thought Phosphorous might be able to out vamp it but... no 😆

[gritty wren]

i expected the rhamphyre earlier

yes its strong

[elder estuary]

@cyan olive what would be the best carry vs a toxic colossus deck? Between Phosphorus/Scoriox/Rhamphre

I'm thinking Scoriox with pierce + attack speed?

[worldly jolt]

I’ve seen scoriox work well against mine. I had no way to get to him. Rhamphyre has worked but I can usually sustain and take him out.

[glad obsidian]

Do you guys find that sticking to the classic tank/dps/healer model is the way to go?

[rapid crest]

I was trying something out and had all nature illuviuals and it didn't stack to max

It counted only 4

Am I missing something

[glad obsidian]

I believe Illuvials of the same line don’t stack elements

[rapid crest]

I had all t0 nature

[elder estuary]

Nice okay, maybe I'm struggling as my deck is earth too 🤔

[dreamy inlet]

Hello ! I'm looking for someone to test some builds. I don't want to ruin my MMR since I'm still gaining decent amount of rank points per win. I'm at 1760 I think currently

[supple cave]

the damn deck with blazenite and 7 empath is still winning all the time? seems so ridiculous...

[edgy bough]

Trashbird gets its revenge

[stray gull]

@sterile shore gg on that back to back war

[hoary mason]

the game keeps doing this sometimes where the match will count down and at 0 nothing happens and i have to restart my game.

[lethal widget]

Yep happening a lot to me today

Also freezing between end of round and new selection phase or vice versa

[vernal forum]

@coarse echo did that game resolve for you? froze for me, just curious on the result. tyia

[coarse echo]

nah it froze

rip

[lethal widget]

@crisp stratus same q as ^ lol

[hoary mason]

anyone up for a 1v1?

[crisp stratus]

@lethal widget very unlucky, sorry :/ I've found alt f4ing as soon as I notice a crash usually allows me to reconnect with 0-1 rounds lost

[cyan olive]

scoriox

[lethal widget]

Oh smart

[coarse echo]

I restarted and have no option to reconnect. No idea what played out.

[lost wyvern]

Happening on you guys?, the battle didn’t start? Camera I can move, but I am waiting for opponent for 2 minutes…I am in round 4

[stray gull]

Hey mate, we are seeing some instances of the server hanging

[stray gull]

Unfortunately this may be a restart until we're able to resolve the issue

Apologies for that

[lost wyvern]

Ok, thank…no problem…it is in beta, don’t need to apologies…I love you guys, great game…

lol i've been a bit busy but yes I knew about just no one ever asked me to create an event or gave me details until you said so right now lol

[sterile shore]

Where can I find the leaderboard ?

[tired depot]

Do we know when the game will have a half decent range of starter teams? (like hearthstone starter decks)

[west plume]

Fair,sorry for jumping the gun

[stray gull]

The guys are working on updating the start teams as we speak

[tired depot]

I want to try different teams but can't be assed with all the trail and error needed to create them - I'm 100% other new players will be thinking the same.

[tired depot]

Great!

[stray gull]

Yep we agree

We will make them more competitive

[potent topaz]

where can i find this?

[edgy bough]

In the Wildfire guild

I cant post here cos I got timed out

Who has the best arena videos?

I’ve watched Scoriox a ton, but looking for more

[opaque cape]

probably viper stream is your place to go

[civic grotto]

I was just there, he lost to some old god empath shitbird abyser 🙂

[opaque cape]

lol im getting rekt by most updated decks

rematch vs viper incoming

[kind tinsel]

are synergies bugged? looks like sometimes i don get them

[opaque cape]

nope, theyre fine

[civic grotto]

#banempaths

[opaque cape]

that was a player diff

moving my whole pack, spending my entire bank for the round on that transfer

[coarse echo]

ggs @west quartz your comp is scary

[onyx sundial]

Just be aware that synergies from a illuvial line are only counted once. So if you have atlas and axon - you only get a water boost once, not twice

[west quartz]

go tag again

i need to try a new placement

:p

[coarse echo]

queueing now

[coarse echo]

good attempt. it worked a little better

[west quartz]

nop

if ramphire doesn't cast the comp is useless

and somehow no matter what placement i use they all focus the ramphire

it's a good comp

does it beat phosphorus or toxic ?

[plush gate]

warpwave assault doesnt seem to be working, also played a game and my weapon went missing

[worldly jolt]

I’ve seen it proc.

Maybe some circumstances. Press B and report the bug. Maybe it’s a certain holder throwing it off

[coarse echo]

I haven't played against toxic. mostly empaths.

I lost to a cool umbre steam comp though

[steady willow]

so like is there any move the takes down shields? like a shield buster?

[coarse echo]

gg @edgy flower for the win against me

[gritty wren]

@fallen vortex GG

didnt expect that side swap

[obtuse summit]

These empath decks, wow

[west quartz]

does it work against empaths ?

[fallen vortex]

Gg hqhaha it'll happen

[cyan olive]

I was expecting the move, but not that vermi would kill my entire team with the aoe the next turn^^

[languid pivot]

Hi guys can someone explain me the dominant traits in illuvium...

you have like the main trait like as an example : Wildfire
and Nature as Dominant

but you can do with that just wildfire combination and not nature combination..

for what is the Nature Trait then good ?

[cyan olive]

for hyper and bonding with your ranger

e..g. nature gets hyper when close to air/water illuvials, so nature dominat is good vs those, while fire would be bad vs water giving the water the hyper buff

[languid pivot]

okay thanks i kind of got it hopefully, im gonna try some stuff out

[cyan olive]

gl

[coarse echo]

sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think your team is better against that match.

[lethal widget]

Seems like toxic is the new meme tbh

So many toxic colossus comps

[elder rover]

Is there some guide/website for these dominant Vs weakness

[olive hedge]

illuvial master . com is good

[elder rover]

Oh thanks!

[languid sparrow]

Your welcome!

[elder rover]

May I have the tournament link?

[languid sparrow]

We can't share link here. But image.

[bright pivot]

How do you gain hyper? for example on a firre illuviul like scoriox

[gentle bronze]

[silver nebula]

Hi guys, if we spend less mastery points on a round, will that give me a lot more on the next round?

[languid sparrow]

Not sure if there is interest on Mastery point ?

[hearty sleet]

What’s a good augment to put on a malura?

[languid sparrow]

1st you could make sure you understand Malura well 👀

[oak sigil]

What happens if I have 2 Cardolux with different dominance, does it count as 2 x toxic?

Even if it is from the same line

[reef basalt]

No it won't. Classes and affinities don't stack if they're from the same line.

So Toxic will be counted as 1 if you have 2 caradulox

[oak sigil]

What is the best setup against a fierce scoriox with augments?

Ramphyre?

dont mention empaths, ther ARE a bug

[languid sparrow]

See Scoriox have less Energy Resist vs Physical Resist 👀

[oak sigil]

by the way, when do we get rid of that empath bug?

[reef basalt]

Things that stun it or mud

[reef basalt]

They released a patch already and I hear they'll issue an augment that counteracts shield rather than outright nerf empaths

[oak sigil]

didn t see any updates on epic games lately

[languid sparrow]

This Augment will be hardly farm & sale

[languid sparrow]

#📣〕announcements message

[misty spruce]

what do i do if my opponent wont choose a starting card? been here for forever... ranked

[languid sparrow]

You opponent have a limited time to pick up Legendary Augment, the game is probably bug.

[silver nebula]

Guys how do I change my male ranger to a female ranger?

[languid sparrow]

Not sure you can yet.

[pseudo shard]

does anyone know if there is an illuvial or augment that deals with shields

been getting run over by air with every unit having a massive shield at the start of the fight

[glad obsidian]

Any pros in here willing to run a match? Looking for some critique

[hallow notch]

God, I love this game! Just keep on loading one more and trying new strats out. Can’t stop.

But there are still invincible empath looters hanging around

so the patch didn's solve the issue

[edgy flower]

Interesting deck with magma, but it was 1 : 1 by games as I remember, gg 🙂

[storm tundra]

When i win sometimes i just get like 5-15 arena points

Some people lose 100-300 points

Thats absolutely insane, thats overkill very hard to farm back

Also sometimes there are disconnection issues, i just disconnected for the first time ever don’t know how and have no clue how many arena points i lost

[lunar pebble]

what's the most OP affinity now?

[thick rune]

what classes teleports? is it only rogues

[reef basalt]

Composites with rogues in them. Vanguard revenant phantom etc

[reef basalt]

I've seen Toxic, water, and air a lot.

[thick rune]

ok thx

[plush gate]

what does truesight do ?

[dark vine]

it prevents the holder from getting blinded and it should break through dodge but the last part is bugged atm

[elder rover]

Dominant means it has that trait when you bond with them right?

Before I thought it was dominant against that trait, it's a bit misleading

[rare meteor]

is there any way currenty to see the area affected by my aoe augments/skills ? like id really like to exactly know how much 30 hexes or a medium area is

[dark vine]

yes, a toxic with water dominant trait will give this water trait to the ranger. So, you could play a toxic ranger by giving the ranger a nature weapon and bond to that Illuvial. Dominant is also important for the hyper effect

[humble tide]

Im looking for some decklists

Whose got the juice

[dark vine]

I believe it is like this:
archie omega = medium (20 hexes)
exalted air atippo omega = large area (30 hexes)
rhamphyre omega = massive area (50 hexes) (1/4 of the arena)
arena = 100x100 hexes

[rare meteor]

ty

it helps a lot

[cursive vortex]

Guys please help me. How do ranger change roles? Like I want my ranger to be Magma, But sometimes it's a different role

[dark vine]

you can bind your ranger to an Illuvial
If the Illuvial has two traits like magma (fire/earth) the dominant trait will be important for the bond.
So, if you play Scoriox with dominant earth you need a fire weapon on your ranger to get magma and if you play a Scoriox with dominant fire trait you need an earth weapon.
Same with classes

[cursive vortex]

Thank you ❤️

[sterile shore]

yo where can we find the leaderboard

ty

[steep quartz]

hello guys, where i can find an escalation table for affinities? For example: earth 3/5/7 - rogue 2/4/6 - colossus 2/3 ecc..............

Those vertical white line are representing the Average Stats of all illuvials.

[vague karma]

a typo on Amplification

[vague karma]

rogue thresholds are wrong, 2, 4, 6

this shows up because I have a lynx with stage 2

[azure wigeon]

its server problem i think. too many players, th server is overwhelmed

[azure wigeon]

give them poison

[azure wigeon]

not pro, just a friend, may we test it?

[vivid stirrup]

it's not a bug its a feature 🙂
rogue is the only basic synergy that doesn't have 3/5/7 treshholds

[azure wigeon]

i think lose 200 point only for new guys start from 1500

[azure wigeon]

affinity its earth maybe

[azure wigeon]

anti clumsy

[azure wigeon]

should rent the proofreader, or fired him, lol

[opaque cape]

the tooltip with the hexagons say 2/3/4/

[vivid stirrup]

true! misread the message! 👍

[steep quartz]

excuse me guys, i don't understand one thing: for example, how is it possible to arrive to LEVEL4 TOXIC ? I find only 2 type of creatures in team builder, the SEASCORPIONS and the WATERBUFFALOS

(it's just an example, but there are also other similar cases)

[jade pecan]

Ranger and Legendary Augment

[plush gate]

play league of legends ranked in bronze 5

[lost wyvern]

I think it’s better to add “surrender”…now when the battle didn’t start we must to exit the game

[steep quartz]

there aren't toxic ranger items

[jade pecan]

There are, just water + nature = toxic

[steep quartz]

i thinked a ranger could have only one affinity and one class, like for example WATER + FIGHTER

[jade pecan]

you bond Ranger to illuvial yet?

the (+) symbol…..

[safe stirrup]

@opaque cape wp

i thought youd move again

[rare blaze]

hi does anyone have any info/resources on the arena like what counters what best option based on the enemies elements and affinities ?

[steep quartz]

I don't know this mechanics 😦

[opaque cape]

hehe

how rich do you think i am to keep moving my team

[safe stirrup]

cant believe i almost won just based on that

[jade pecan]

then try again

[opaque cape]

well your deck is a hardcounter to the poor little empaths

but you have to make your harbingers die faster

[steep quartz]

is there any place where i can find infos about this mechanics?

[fair hemlock]

Illuvihub.gg/guides :]

It is still rather unpolished but it has a lot of info to get started!

[jade pecan]

https://youtu.be/vC7hlof0vxM?si=jjr-pvlNrDkbLX2S

here

[steep quartz]

lol i tried now.. WOW... THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING 😂😂😂

[swift edge]

which legendary augment gives toxic? or you mean toxic affinity from the draw

[steep quartz]

@jade pecan Excuse me after i bond ranger to WATER illuvial, i have just the possibility to use the NATURE weapon to get TOXIC or are there any other mechanics that i don't know?

[lunar pebble]

thanks for sharing

[jade pecan]

It works vice versa, you can use Water weapon and bond to Nature illuvial (just make sure Nature is that illivial dominant affinity)

[jade pecan]

Dont remember the name, but it’s there, the augment from bidding phase

[swift edge]

gotcha. so up to RNG if you can get to 4 toxic

[safe stirrup]

@opaque cape wp

[opaque cape]

hehe, the 50/50 failed

[safe stirrup]

took to long to ready up and had like 4 augments left

either way ur number 1 for a reason

[opaque cape]

yeah but only thing that matters is whether or not the bird gets siphoned down

[safe stirrup]

i hope u come first in the tournament

[opaque cape]

thanks

are you playing?

the tournament i mean

[smoky python]

I hope smartass gets 2nd

[plush gate]

what do i do to get my ranger a weapon to link with phosporus ?

if that makes sense

lol

phosphorus*

[safe stirrup]

no

[opaque cape]

how can i get 2nd when kyle isnt playing 😄 ?

[fair hemlock]

Check phospohrus dominant affinity and class.
Then choose a weapon that is the opposite.

I.e. Nature dominant phosphorus and Fighter dominant class.
Add an earth | psion weapon to the ranger. Then bond the two and you have two bloom arcanites.

[plush gate]

thank you 🙂 ❤️ much appreciated ! ! !

[safe valve]

Lmao... Just lost with full fire rhamphyre against full Air rhamphire.... Was even able to Tank enemy ramph away from my Units with a sapping hex

Either i am Way worse than o thought, or Air is too strong

[smoky python]

Air is pretty good

[noble radish]

It’s too strong. But we are iterating. Just remember our main method of balance isn’t quite done yet so we want you to find the OP strats.

A lot of people seem to be confused about what a beta is about. The game isn’t in its perfect final form. We are purposely giving it to you raw so you can tell us your thoughts.

Otherwise we have to jump at shadows and possibly waste a lot of time. By playing you are really helping us.

[opaque cape]

would that be AI based balancing?

[safe valve]

Oh yea, i'm totally aware of that 🙂
Was just curious what others think about air in the current state. 😬

[opaque cape]

air is way too good, numbers should be somewhere closer to 20/35/50% for 3/5/7

[cyan olive]

air is the main counter to rhampyre/phnatom/inferno with the energy increase for first omega

without air likely no backline based team can beat it, with air you have a good chance

[cyan olive]

I think it is just the energy part and cause rhampyre is so much of the meta
also truesight doesn´t work for dodge atm, which takes a good counter away

[languid sparrow]

Truesight doesn´t work for dodge atm hooooooo...

[vague karma]

It's 2, 4, 6 in game, and 2, 3, 4 in site

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1730285112825102808?t=eggq9sK9bFBc1vE6vM8bwA&s=33 imagine illuvium on this table @low halo

[radiant pine]

What time is team liquid streaming pvp today?

[cyan olive]

according to @coarse echo 👀

[opaque cape]

when augments become unique and you cant play 3 synergetic fields or 2 starting mana on rhamphyre that problem will be solved

then it will be your job to kill/cc the rhamphyre in time before he can cast

[cyan olive]

will they become unique?

[opaque cape]

not sure, but that would be a good solution imo

will increase deck variety

cause now people play the entire line of some augments in most decks

[waxen swan]

hf playing against heal decks

idk if 40% is enough

[opaque cape]

well i dont think you should be able to counter a full comp with 1 or 3 augments

[cyan olive]

we might have too few augments to make them unique, then you just play one of each tech augment with no downside to not playing something that is good overall

[opaque cape]

healball should be a strat, shouldnt instalose to -90% healing

[opaque cape]

true but then you have to make decisions on the fly ingame with more flexibility

harder to copy a deck and perform as well if you have to augment depending on the situation

[waxen swan]

if you could place 3 augments on an unit then unique augments could be cool maybe

[cyan olive]

healing debuff not being 40+30+20 is a good point, could be 40 debuff down to 60, then debuff 30 from 60 etc., so it doesnt go to 0

[opaque cape]

the stacking augments are too good

you could always make it 50% or 60% healing debuff but you can only play one if thats the issue

[cyan olive]

also you can fix that if you seperate healing debuff and energy gain, I wouldn´t run 3 healing debuff ever, but energy is almost always fine

[opaque cape]

for that hypercarry harbinger umbre deck the triple healing debuff is a must

[cyan olive]

these hard counter techs having a common fine 2nd option is the part I am unsure about

[waxen swan]

wait someone else has made a harbinger deck?

[opaque cape]

example?

[cyan olive]

maybe 1 of the on crit debuffs could also work

[cyan olive]

healing/energy gain reduction

[opaque cape]

harbinger umbre hypercarry has been out there for a couple days

[waxen swan]

zz

[cyan olive]

just have dedicated anit healing standalone effect is what I mean

[opaque cape]

a designated antiheal augment with no other option

[waxen swan]

one out of 7 decks gone ig

[opaque cape]

thats better vs healers but useless if they dont play healers

so you sit there with a dead augment in your deck and have a lower ceiling lategame

but since all of the augments have 2 options now its hard

[cyan olive]

that is usually the trade off for playing hardcounter cards in games

[opaque cape]

you could make it -20% global healing debuff or -40% local debuff

[cyan olive]

In the end if there is no downside to playing the counter to hypercarry healing meele, you just delete those strats from existence, so I don’t think it should be „free“ to run them

[still sand]

yo bros how to see leaderboards on rank games?

[brazen quarry]

an augment where you can weaken an area of the board
or put it on one of you mobs and mirror the effect on the opponent side

[still sand]

make some custom bet match ❤️

[sour helm]

hello

[nimble glacier]

is team builder not working? i keep getting sent in loops

[opaque cape]

@lean ivy youre getting closer 😄

i actually have to make some moves to win

[lean ivy]

Nice pod shift I relized it last second

Thats why i pulled my ranger but was too late

[opaque cape]

hehe

[lean ivy]

Already placed everything...gg

[safe stirrup]

Wow caveman u gotta win against his op empath deck

[fair hemlock]

I won against his OP empath deck 😏
(Not because he was testing stuff out ahum ahum.)

[lean ivy]

i had him beat....shifted everything, quite impressive for the full pack move

[safe stirrup]

You know it’s an op deck when he can move the entire team and still win

(No augments spent that round as so much spent moving)

[supple cave]

the -healing on crit augment gives clumsy now. it helps against doge

[bleak escarp]

That moment when you swear you have him this round, then they're on other side of map...like where tf they go?

[proven ember]

Arena pb3 release post-mortem

Overall I am happy with the release, we’re going to be enacting changes drawn from player feedback and our observations.

Balance - we’re pretty happy with the balance for a first release, we were hoping to do a second balance pass today but due to issues identified with the backend during the previous balance patch, we’re having to postpone this until Monday.

Overview of changes in next patch are

Air Synergy nerfed
Empath Synergy nerfed
T0 Units nerfed
Biogenic Suppressor nerfed
Fortification Catalyst nerfed
Siphon Matix nerfed
Photon Ripper nerfed

We’ll be doing a larger balance pass focused on buffing and more fun changes later, but these are the big issues atm and we want to get this in as fast as possible.

In the coming weeks we’ll be changing Legendary Augments - ensuring that Synergy Legendary Augments are always relevant to the teams being used by the players.

We’re also looking at adding some additional Augments to cover some gameplay spaces that are being underutilised and as a result causing balance issues.

We’re working at fixing Truesight.

We’re also exploring the possibility of allowing Units to have 1 Legendary Augment, and 2 Normal Augments to better allow for exciting power objectives.

We'll also be holding some testing/listening sessions with the community to do deep dives into certain gameplay features.

Finally we also have some refinement planned for Placement matches and some UI/UX updates.

Ben

[proven ember]

Feel free to poke me in this channel with any thoughts and feedback - I'll hang around a bit

[bleak escarp]

I really like the idea of the Legendary Augments possibly being a third augment on Illuvials. Makes it truly legendary. Maybe raise cost on Legendary Augument to bring back into balance?

[gusty bay]

The camera movement is very weird and cant move it easily

[vivid stirrup]

amazing changes, rly happy the random legendary synergy augment is getting fixed! 💪

[fair hemlock]

How about the augment that heals 8% max Hp every 4 seconds, as opposed to the 4% Hp regen of another augment?

One is 2x worse than the other.

[proven ember]

I've let the team know 🙂

[west quartz]

@proven ember any buffs coming in too ? Slashin and the slayers really really feel like trash illuvials rn..

[proven ember]

As I mentioned in the post - we're looking at buffs but thats a bit more work than just hammering the obvious OP stuff 😄

so will occur, just don't have more news than "we're on it!"

[west quartz]

For slayers I’d say the issue is the rng, could be fixed from switching on takedown to on assist

[glad obsidian]

Lmk when!

Wow... I didn't think I was playing this much, but apparently I am too 🤣

(Context: That's a lot for me, I've not been playing any games for months before this lol)

[zenith mortar]

just beat an top 5 in the world pro

nbd

[west quartz]

it would be nice if we could review the last round, like when losing to someone we can't see who dealt damage or healed a lot

[stark swift]

This would be awesome, a post-game breakdown to see where it all went wrong.

Or right, but usually wrong for me 😛

[west quartz]

or at least just to have access to the stats of the last round, while rn it just closes

[safe stirrup]

@twilit storm dont you dare win against the streamer

give the lad a fighting chance

[raven obsidian]

I reported some feedback regarding some QoL player preferences in the reporter tool but will add them here for others to see if they agree or not:

• Filter options for deck should save across each game. e.g. I prefer to have my illuvials/augments/weapons etc go from low to high cost. Would be nice if it stayed like that from game to game unless I change it myself.
• Camera position should again be set to players preference and stay like that across each game.
• The little drop down arrows that show affinities and classes should be set to players preference too. e.g. I prefer having mine set side by side instead of stacked on top of each other.

These are just some little features I thought of whilst playing that are all opinion based to each player.

[lethal widget]

15 rows down in "most played" and climbing

[stark swift]

I like that synergy augs are being tailored to each player's team, was thinking about this the other day. Something that could be cool would be having synergy augs included in the base set, but giving them proportional debuff stats. It seems like right now they are not included in the base set because it can be incredibly strong getting the correct synergy aug (esp. composites). It could be a cool idea to give, just as an example, the Spore aug a property that reduces dodge chance for your team. That way you could deterministically play with it consistently, but you'd have to contend with the corresponding debuff and play around it.

Just in general it could be an interesting way to include some of the more powerful augs in the base set. Give them a downside to counterbalance the upside, so that it's not ALWAYS just pure power being added, it has potential to be net negative situationally.

I do really like the draft system, but it seems desirable to have the augments that show up be primarily generic. Having a round where very specific augs that don't apply to a player's team are the only ones available can be pretty detrimental.

Having some "rush" augments could be interesting too. Ex. -100 player health, Illuvial does 100% increased damage to enemy health on winning a round.

It might be too complex to have meta augments like that at this stage, but possibilities around modifying a team's performance within the game rules is pretty exciting.

[brazen quarry]

Look at @dawn isle playing against the Team Liquid guy

[velvet wyvern]

good Q im interested as well

[stark swift]

You don't, currently.

[dawn isle]

And getting crushed, just trying out team comps in Casual!

@cyan olive GG we have the same idea of strategy except that I prefer yours slightly better😆

7 bulwark seems oddly strong

if you're looking for nerf ideas @proven ember :p

[humble gorge]

If you could nerf my opponents and make me better, I'd appreciate it @proven ember

[opaque cape]

yes, lets nerf everything that a single deck doesnt beat 😄

[vernal forum]

@proven ember The rollout has been smoooooth. Congrats to the team, I know how hard it is having done it myself. The long nights (overnights?) will be worth it as Illuvium enjoys continued success. Is Scoriox working as intended right now?

[supple cave]

There is a mouse sensitivity scaler on the option. it helps a bit

[glad obsidian]

Predator from greater grilla and exalted grilla won’t stack will they?

Also, does mud get equal perks from both water and earth stacks or does it only get the perks from the dominant trait?

[cyan olive]

did I overtake you @coarse echo ?

[fair hemlock]

Is this the power of your Illuvitar?should be close right?

[cyan olive]

it is close

idk the power but 21 something

[west quartz]

idk what beats viper's 7 bulwark + unkillable bird though

and the anti-heal getting nerfed mondays will make it even stronger

[azure wigeon]

anyone know how to change camera view shortcut?

[azure wigeon]

what bird

[brisk dove]

game is stuck on waiting for opponent.... for one time i was winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stray gull]

GG ThinkTwice (if you're in the chat)

[brisk dove]

how do i report an error? game got stuck

it's saying waiting for opponenet but i actually see top right "ready to fight"

found it

[west quartz]

phosphorus

[edgy bough]

lets gooo! we love to see it

[glad obsidian]

Basically if we don’t play phosphorus we lose

[west quartz]

also it's not just about how strong it is, it's how strong for the few mastery points you spend. you get 7 unit with 200 physical and magical resist for just 205 points, and your main carry gets +75 of both, seems fine to me in late game, but not really in turn 3

[atomic kestrel]

Can we get an augment that adds range to an illuvial please 🙏

[gentle bronze]

Bro this game is so much fun lol

[worn fractal]

Yea I cant stop playing ha

[gentle bronze]

How crazy is it that we are this early

on a game this good

[fleet crest]

I went to the team liquid twitch channels that have streamed Illuvium. I don't see any recording of it. Is there anywhere I can watch it?

[solar karma]

i'm so bad at this game xD

[fleet crest]

It's a steep learning curve. Personally I found survival a good place to learn the game. Especially the mode where there is no time restraints. That way I can really figure out what I want to do. I found when I started that the time goes by so fast and felt overwhelmed.

[austere sun]

@spark berry ?

[raven obsidian]

nice mate! do you have a rough time frame for when it'll be implemented into the game?

[proven ember]

I do not at this time

Soon as possible 🙂

[opaque cape]

4 xborg in the top 5 😄

[tulip tiger]

is rank getting reset?

[opaque cape]

dunno

[mild sinew]

did you find out what on assist means

[raven obsidian]

gg @spare frigate

[dark vine]

you dont count twice 😄

[opaque cape]

of course i do 😄

[cyan olive]

should have stopped plaing

[oak sigil]

Still no idea

[supple cave]

man, i had some epic matches today!! But I won quite a few against people that were like 100+ better ranked and only got around 12-13 points for those wins!! cmon! i should've gotten around 25-40 at least!!

it felt really bad

after such epic wins

same amount i lose or win against someone that's in the same category...

[tulip tiger]

you were killing it today good job

[supple cave]

I was! but I am getting too few points per victory against people much higher ranked. I don't get it. Will try some more matches later

this game is so awesome haha. Can't wait to connect overworld, Zero and arena together

[jaunty trail]

For anyone interested vagon.io will allow you to play on and iPad or iPhone remotely.

[oak sigil]

any ways to create a 4xtoxic?

[opaque cape]

yes, cow/scorpion/ranger/legendary augment

[oak sigil]

legendary... that's rare

will try to obtain it in the future

for whatever cost:)

[uncut comet]

which augments are the best for blazenite since u have prob over 100 games+ with him xD

[opaque cape]

depends oh what youre facing

[uncut comet]

for example the 2-3 core combinations

[opaque cape]

double true damage, any crit chance + crit dmg

[uncut comet]

you mean graviton piercer for true damage?

[opaque cape]

yes

[uncut comet]

u never go attackspeed on him?

[opaque cape]

nop

bro I thought I ran the clock out

lol, empaths are a pain in the butt

you killed my Grilla so fast everytime

@cyan olive i queued wrong deck lol

didnt expect to win that one

taken over rank 2, next stop -> dethrone martini

[cyan olive]

idk lost 100 mmr today, time to order chair and rope

[supple cave]

[smoky python]

So XBorg just crushing everyone?

Anyone surprised?

Rank 1-2-3-5-11

[wicked cloak]

That’s pretty strong wow! What rank are you?? (How many points do you have)

[safe stirrup]

Disappointing it’s not 1-2-3-4-5

[smoky python]

Fair

@umbral oracle cope

[cyan olive]

dw, I will be 1 again, was just too lazy to just camp it today

[opaque cape]

camping it isnt cool anyway

[serene lance]

Even with a stacking scoriox for aoe damage, resolve on my team against only energy damage, reduced energy and healing onto the enemy team, tanks with stuns, i still lose against these empath clumps lol, ive changed multiple things in my decks to help against them and it isnt enough, i dont want to have to play a whole deck just focused on countering them and lose to any non empath deck i vs, glad they are getting nerfed again in the next patch

[halcyon nova]

caught the end of that liquid stream it was Epic 🔥

nice to see the Empath Team out in force again .....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[storm tundra]

Quick question

I never tried empath or mystic before the last nerf

Didnt want to anyway, i always thought it was just the empaths overtuned

But mystics got nerfed too, why did mystics get nerfed when they weren’t apart of the empath setup and weren’t overtuned anyway

I wanted to try mystics but seems like one of the weakest at the moment

[storm tundra]

Are you in xborg?

If not just wondering, where do you guys discuss playing and strategising in the arena, i wanna join like a chat about illuvium arena, to better myself, thanks

[smoky python]

lol no he isnt

[cyan olive]

they asked me a lot but I always refused

[smoky python]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[cyan olive]

I am better on my own

I´d only join real esport orgs or teams

[humble gorge]

These empath piles are getting out of hand

[storm tundra]

Ohhh ok

Is there any community i can join that chats about illuvium arena alot

Want to find a place where i can just casually discuss and chat about illuvium arena and better myself in the arena

[humble gorge]

Viper and SJUD always throwing shots back and forth but who wins in PvP? Lol

[storm tundra]

Hah

[cyan olive]

I just link esportearnings when sjud gets loud again^^

[mild sinew]

Why is it when I placed augments to my illuvium, the augments get removed to one or 2 of my illuvium?

[smoky python]

Sorry too mean 😦

[turbid osprey]

You should check out #1169004294473793597

[storm tundra]

It shouldnt unless you disconnected maybe, can close and open app and reconnect

[storm tundra]

Thx u

[manic rivet]

I have a question if someone can help me understand the synergy system better. I'm placing up to 4 fighers in the arena and yet it doesn't even register two. Same with the Wildfire and some other synergies. I have to be missing something .

[mild sinew]

Ok

[cyan olive]

you threaten to dox me? @open hemlock

[smoky python]

LOL

[manic rivet]

Could someone maybe give me a link with a proper tutorial about the game system / I can't find anything on the website page or anywhere else for that matter

[smoky python]

You're a streamer. You show yourself every day

[storm tundra]

It can only be single fighter synergies

If you have composites that are combined from fighters

It doesnt count, such as berserker, thats not fighter

Or your using the same family tree

[manic rivet]

Ouch. I'm lost sorry. Family tree? composites ? what are those ? is there a tutorial page somwhere with in dept explaination of all this?

[storm tundra]

Try illuvium master dot com

It helps alot, its not a tutorial i unfortunately couldn’t find one either

But this website is super helpful the arena section 4 sections

Illuvial master dot com sorry lol

[manic rivet]

I'll go have a look. Thanks mate

Sit can't be reached

is it ulluvial master instead of ulluvium master?

[storm tundra]

Haha yup sorry

[midnight sonnet]

is there leaderboars?

[smoky python]

Not in game

But Ben posted it

#🎮〕illuvium-arena message

[manic rivet]

So how can you reach rank 5 of wildfire when there is only 3 illuvials with wildfire currently available ?

or am I missing something?

[smoky python]

You cant

[mighty hearth]

where can I find affinities counters graphic? I saw somewhere but couldnt find it

[serene lance]

Wildfire only goes up to 4 if im correct. You can use illuvials, ranger bonding, and legendary augments to max out.

Theres also only 70% of the illuvials in the game right now, more to come to fill out the synergies.

[quasi rivet]

illuvialmaster.com/affinities

[storm tundra]

Thanks sky

Your website is absolutely amazing and extremely helpful, i always have it open as an accompaniment when playing arena haha, good work!

[manic rivet]

I'm on the website and to be honest I'm still none the wise with the synergy and afinity system ahah

We need a proper Tutorial about this. It's weird that we don't have something like that already

[storm tundra]

True

I was also confused at first, but gradually worked it out

[storm tundra]

Illuvials that are from the same evolution tree

Dont count for classes and affinities when stacking them

Thats key

[serene lance]

There are official in game tutorials coming soon

[mild sinew]

Sometimes I get a lot of points like 800 points, how does that happen?

[steep quartz]

hi guys how do i counter empaths?

[serene lance]

Close your eyes

[storm tundra]

If possible sky could you maybe add two key lines which are mini introductions

1. Extra Illuvials from the same evolution tree do not count towards class/affinity bonuses

2. Combined classes do not count towards single classes and vice verse

[storm tundra]

Most important 2 key things

1. Extra illuvials from the same evolution tree do not count towards class/affinity bonuses

2. Combined classes/affinities do not count towards single class bonuses

[manic rivet]

So the 3 slightly stronger fighters that looked like The pokemon evolution won't be adding up then

well... that explains a lot why I would place 3 of them and still get no fighter buff increase.

[storm tundra]

Yes if they are from the same evolution tree

[storm tundra]

Hahaha yup fun times

[manic rivet]

But how do you increase Wildfire given that there seem to only be 3 wildfire illuvials at the moment?

[serene lance]

If your ranger has a fire weapon or a nature weapon, you can bond to a nature or fire illuvial (plus sign next to ranger) respectively to create wildfire (fire + nature), this will give you another point towards wildfire

[manic rivet]

I would still be short of 1 point to reach the max lvl rank 5 no?

[serene lance]

where did you get 5 from? isnt the max 4 ?

[manic rivet]

Oh you are right

it is 4 max

what about toxic with only 2 illuvials from different trees and a max rank of 4 ?

[serene lance]

So blazenite + blotto + bonded ranger + legendary augment if it comes up = max 4, its meant to be hard to get max 4

[storm tundra]

So bond one with your avatar, and summon one each from their respective evolution trees

The max is 3, but more illuvial sets are coming

Same as pokemon, we keep getting more illuvial sets

To complete current bonuses but we are still in building phase so illuvials are limited atm

2nd will make things a strategic dream

Once 2nd illuvial set hits

Illuvium will probably be the most competitive strategy fun fantasy game in the world haha

[serene lance]

unit 1 + unit 2 + bonded ranger (nature + water) + legendary augment = 4

[arctic furnace]

how do i learn the game? do i just jump into a pvp match?

[serene lance]

survival mode on casual with no timer is a much slower environment to learn the basics

[arctic furnace]

thanks ima try

[manic rivet]

damn.. I need to be able to try this against a bot or hell even just randomly placing them on an empty arena for test purposes.

[storm tundra]

Use illuviumaster dot com and yes dive in

[serene lance]

Yeah we have mentioned that a 'do anything you want' testing arena mode would be good, maybe we see it in the future

With target dummies

[storm tundra]

I just experiment in arena and my rank died, then i revived it again haha

[manic rivet]

I think it would definitly help people like me who are more " visual " learners

[storm tundra]

Brutal

[steep quartz]

wtf, how do i counter shields/healthregen like empaths/nature/tanky builds???

they're so annoying

[serene lance]

its being nerfed in the next patch, for now you can try big AOE damage because they are clumped up, and augments that reduce their healing

greater flish, the illuvials that shoot beams through units can be good as their omega pierces through all of them

[old lark]

@vague karma lol i had 5 hp

[honest pawn]

my augments didnt get placed after the round start, but my illuvials got placed

I feel like we had a similar bug before the patch

[steep quartz]

however this game is gonna be huge, keep the good work team!

[viral moss]

do we have a count for daily active users?

[smoky python]

Not currently

[viral moss]

coool thanks

[honest pawn]

it's the combination of dodge, shield and healing

[serene lance]

and blind, and disarm, and burn and so on

and a complete lack of shield counters

all good, its getting nerfed soon

[honest pawn]

oh yeah if you are melee

[gentle bronze]

Illuvium inferno tomorrow at 2pm EST who’s ready? 👀

Who’s gonna win?

[formal crown]

Not me 😭 playing style first he is top 9

[serene lance]

Whoever places their empaths and blazenite better wins

Most of the damage scaling augments to try and build up and kill them before overtime just got banned too so yeah

[wicked cloak]

This is so stupid, I legit had the negative 70% heal augment too and it just does nothing

[formal crown]

Seems like a lot of the on crits got banned

[formal crown]

Seems like a lot of them got banned due to an exploit

[smoky python]

Yes unfortunately they are banned

😦

[serene lance]

just a good counter to clumped teams

[smoky python]

lol you keep repeating that everywhere

They are bugged

It is what it is

[serene lance]

his omega causes his attacks to be aoe, the augment makes auto attack crits scale, he auto attack crits multiple people and it scales harder, i just cant believe theyre gonna ban the augments from this tourney but the empath bs is fine lol

[serene lance]

'everywhere' as in 2 places?

[smoky python]

It's not just on Scoriox

[formal crown]

Are they going to patch that?

[smoky python]

The team is aware of it so I would assume when they are able to

[formal crown]

Catcha thanks so they very well could patch it before the tournament? Was using that in my deck

[supple cave]

what is the bug augment scaling? sry, i was off

[serene lance]

The earliest they will do a patch is monday, they already plan on nerfing things

[formal crown]
