Pay attention not all weapons/armor are the same tier. So some are stronger.
yea i equipped the ones with 4 star things
Someone might be able to extrapolate this into more useful baseline data:
Testing on Wave 1 vs. Scarabok (50 phys resist, 40 energy resist)
Water Pistol - 33 Baseline Damage, 49-50 Crit Damage (rounding?), Omega: Single Shot for 148-149 Damage (Damage is energy)
Water Sword - 39-40 Baseline (+ Occasional 34 that seem to be off swing timer), 51 Crit Damage, Omega: Single Slash for 200-201 Damage (Damage is physical)
Fire Gauntlet - 43 Baseline, 65-72 Crit, Omega - Single Shot for 174 Damage (Damage is energy)
Air Staff - 57-59 Baseline, 85-86 Crit, Omega - 440 pt shield for (4?) seconds (Damage is energy)
Earth Daggers - 45-46 Baseline, 65-66 Crit, Omega - 179 Damage Stab + Teleport Away, reappear for guaranteed crit x2? (Damage appears to be going out before Arlen is visually back on the field, and I always see double crit after the teleport) (Damage is physical)
Air Bladed Shield - 67-69 Baseline, 101-103 Crit, Omega: 143-147 Damage + (1-1.5s?) Stun (Damage is physical)
Fire Sword - 48-51 Baseline, 72-77 Crit, Omega: 254 Damage Slash (Damage is physical)
Nature Gauntlet - 54-61 Baseline, 85-93 Crit, Omega: 213 Damage Shot (Damage is energy)
It appears that while the hyper bar is charging, Arlen is getting some amount of bonus damage, but that could be from some other interaction. The damage she does typically ramps up. Additionally, as Scarabok gained hyper (when Arlen wasn't gaining any), Scarabok seems to take LESS damage from each attack. This is particularly noticable with Nature gauntlets on.
this thing is driving me mad ....i will concur it eventualy more studying to do thought
Good stuff!
Can we get this pinned?
same
i got no idea how people getting past even lvl 15
I might test again tomorrow vs. a different (hopefully) round 1 mob so we can compare the effects of hyper/energy/phys resist. I'll pin it if I do.
but it's addictive and fun af
How's the deck looking today bois
will more illuvials be added throughout beta?
Yeah, Aaron mentioned the next batch will be close to 100 IIRC.
IIRC?
nvm if i remember correctly
damn 100 will be sick
the illuvial designs are awesome
Is there a description what "grit and resolve" means?
As far as i've seen grit and resolve are flat damage reduction (like 25, 50, 60 etc) vs the energy and physical resist which are based on a formula/%
Hey guys, is there any detailed info on mechanics? LIke what is Grit and Resolve, Energy Resist, etc, and the effects they have on battle
Can't wait for the penguin and polar bear
Would be better if WS would be swapped with QE- doesnt make sense that WS zooms in and out. Also, arrows dont work for me ๐
just got my hands on the beta today guys managed to make it to wave 12!
Got to say i am addicted... played through a team meeting hopefully no one noticed me smashing my keyboard..
Hahaha this game really going to get people fired
Or.. hired? For farm ๐๐
is there no solution with this crash?
Haha maybe both
Story of my life, got email 2 days ago but was too sick to get up, finally get to play today and damn, IF this project somehow failed, I dunno if any other projects could survive, SUPER IMPRESSED
Wave 12 seems very tough today!
๐
Hey everyone, please use the threads above to keep things tidy.
Please ๐ pin this. ๐
Is it hard to zoom in very close. How can it be done?
sry will use the right thread
Has anyone tried running the Illuvium beta on a Linux ? Seems that the major hurdle is getting UE4 to work.
un4 is bad in linux ?
I think it can be but Idk. Tbh I didn't take much more time trying to run illuvium than doing wine illuvium.exe and see it fail to install the engine straight away.
Hi All, I just started the beta yesterday! It is awesome ๐ช
But is synergies not working properly?
for instance, I can't seam to get the bulwark synergy actually add the extra HP.
anybody know why? Thanks.
This game is gonna rock so hard when it is released! ๐ฅณ ๐ค
Can someone explain tiers to me? So there's stages 1-3, small cute, medium regular, big scary. Do tiers 1-5 (the bar on the top of the card) depend on the level of the illuvial? (once the game is out) Can each illuvial be a different tier in a different deck depending on the day?
Illuvials are grouped into common-uncommon-rare-epic-legendary. which are the T1-T5s.
Atlas is common, being T1. Rhamphy is "legendary" as he is T5. So you will almost never encounter the rhamphy, or you won't be able to catch it even if you tried dozens of times because its capture odds are just that low.
So: Stage means the development of the illuvial, and Tier means the rarity of the entire line (stage 1-3).
ah ok, that helps. thanks
note the team will likely never use the word Legendary ๐ that's just my way of describing it. ^^
This game is actually insane, if feels completely different from yesterday!!
Im looking forward wen we have more options to choose from, atm you cant get double stats from same line illuvials
And this hyper system iโm still puzzled with, gonna find myself some spreadsheet for it
Nice to know !
It would be useful to have a written guide, or does it already exist ?
Hi, Illuvium.exe file is not properly signed, is that ok?
Wave 12 is a bit cheeky today isn't it.
What do you mean by guide?
gm
how does the energy get charged up in a fight, is it just time based, or do other factors increase / decrease the charge?
Oh wait I just discovered infoluvial.io, I meant something like that โบ๏ธ
Oh yeah that is a good site for info
i got to wave 14 today slightly better ๐
If it wasn't how tired I get because the mouse bad experience on the game I would play this game all the time. they really need to fix this
Guys, is it possible to make a voice room next to the ru chat, so it was possible to run the streamers in Russian?
interested
As long as you know you got it from play.illuvium.io you are fine to open it. Itโs safe.
Hi all, sorry to spam with this question, but I still can't seem to get the bulwark synergy working. Can anybody else in here confirm if it should work, and give additional HP to bulwark units when you have 3 of them? Thanks.
Ok, thanks, I guess for Private beta its ok, but I would expect 2 certificates for the public beta, one for the company and 2nd for microsoft, I consider this a standard - we build our apps like that in our company
you could also try illuvialmaster.com
I'm waiting for my email for the beta ๐ค
Getting rekt on 14 and still i can't stop
It's taking over my existence :p
Can't imagine the feeling when you actually own them, and you play with your own characters mmmmmmmmmmm sweet
I think I also got rekt in 13 or 14

I am getting rect on wave 9 ๐
My top today so far is wave 12 hahaha
Thanks !
you're welcome ๐
Me too man! fingers crossed! ๐
i dont think i ever get past appx 13... im one of those dumb guys that keeps doing the same thing expecting a diff result.
Yes and ACG partnered with illuvialmaster recently and we will be writing and recording pro guides very soon. These will be made by current pros like @smoky python and @slow iron(also has his own YouTube channel I would check out) who both won the last two tournaments respectively. Make sure to keep it bookmarked. Big things coming soon.
Thanks for the shout out @fluid lagoon
is it jus me or u cant zoom in all the way
G
2nd day of beta: Yesterday I couldn't beat wave 16. Today I reached wave 18. Hoping to get to wave 20 tom ๐ช
Definitely had fun with todays deck. Made me focus on positioning and trying new comps
Wow. Pa coach po
cool nice deck
Sure! Im actually coaching @worldly trail right now lol. Ask to join his zoom if you want
Guys don't you do a promotion for brothers 2 for 1, he got the beta place and I am dying to get one too. He said on the first game he played he cleared 25 waves and on the 2nd he became first on the leaderboard at the time. I want to kick your ass, surely people with brothers will understand the competition between brothers, @umbral oracle and @low halo know it too and we've seen it too haha Don't make me beg for it because I will!
Sorry for the ping, I know I did spam it in twitter too but I am desperate to beat him ...
If this don't do it, I will stop asking, I don't want to be the most annoying person here ๐คฃ
jus go to ur brothers housee and play lol
Changing my name to Pablo or somin, keep getting tagged instead of the real Chad. Smh
In the private beta application form. There is a drop down menu for graphics card. I use a GTX1060 and it is not on the list. Does that mean i cannot apply for private beta? Thanks
You can still apply-- I'm trying to remember the application exactly... is there another space for you to type in your Computer specs? If so, you could type your graphics card in there
no problem
I think I use a similar graphic card and I am playing in the beta. Seems to work fine so far other than some lags
Would be great if we didn't live 3000 miles apart. It have been at least 10 years since we don't live close to each other if not more. And the last time we played a game together was Dota on Warcraft III and I wanna beat him again ๐
urghh that wave 18 is painful, took about 6 attempts to beat it
any1 able to play the beta with ray tracing enabled. I got a 6800XT and turned it on but the frames dropped to a stutter
when I put 2 scorpions - the poison counter does not increase. is this a bug or not?
Its the same champ
Beta Testers: We now have Threads in this channel to help tidy up the feed and keep discussions on topic. Depending on what you're about to type, please try to post in one of the following threads:

In each thread, click the "..." button at the top and select "Join Thread" so that all 3 threads remain visible in your channel list 
Thank you! 
So its not stacking
Not a bug. You can only get one affinity/class bonus from the same line.
I love the scorpion but somwhow i cant make him to fullly function ๐ฉ have 3fighters, 3 waters, 3 plants and still feel like he is missing something
Wouldnt it be better to just have a separate category then different channels under it? Bit difficult checking threads but that just be me lol
Once you've joined the thread, I find it to be just as difficult as checking this main channel. Instead of clicking "pb1-discussion" you would just click on one of the appropriate threads below it.
The channel list looks like this when I'm in any other channel:
Its collapsing on mine when i move channels. Do you know how I can keep it out permanently like that?
I cant even see them on phone
You have to join it and then right click "join thread"
Found it
Ahh.. there was an extra step. click the 3 dots then join thread.
Ooh-- good point. I'll add that to the post ๐
Anyone getting this error?
๐ no worries and keep up the good work. Happy to help in any way if it'll be the case (i just hope i get access for the beta ๐ )
Only day 1 beta but this wave 15 umbre really is my demise ๐

Responded and continuing in #976752031844933642 โก๏ธ
I would love the ability to position a camera "view point" in a static position, then toggle back and forth from top down command style view and the in the action camera I positioned.
Currently flying around and resetting view to place I can see people being to lazy to this compared to a toggle.
Having a toggle to view a perspective of the battle from your character (1st or 3rd person) might also give the player a better attachment to their character!
Would love to see this so we can enjoy those amazing graphics more seemlessly.
Please post this in #976752118008545310
Thanks, didnt see that before
Yeah, new threads were just added today! See the pinned message and you'll find 3 you can join ๐
What is the ยซย resolution scaleย ยป setting ?
Do I have a question?
Crashes 1-2 seconds after entering captcha
PC- Ryzen 5900x 3080ti
Scoriox just 2 shots a full life ramphyre that was about to omega. Legit ๐
Clearly best carry so far
does the deck change every day?
Yes, at 00:00 UTC
It gives you the option to down or upscale the resolution you selected (down=better performance, less quality)
I can't increase or decrease anything, the game won't start. In order to change the settings, you need the game to start.
Ok, who has good build and placement for 10/11/12? I know a lot of folks getting stuck on these
Hey guys, anyone else keep crashing out on wave 12 today?
This sounds great ๐ฆพ
Is everyone else realizing that theyโre shit at the game?
You mean I'm not just having a bad deck day? lol
I'm one of those folks. I would love to get that info too.
wanna go over the deck together? ๐
Yep We're all noobs
If that's an offer of help the answer's yes.

we could go to Off Topic voice, and i'll coach you through the waves? ๐ Though i died a lot on 12 as well LOL it's just a tough wave i think.
Archeleon needs a healing nerf and a tankiness buff
Yeah, I think it's just a tough wave. I just fired up the game and I have another comp idea I want to try. If I stay stuck, I'll be back! ๐
Does everyone get the same deck every day?
Yep
you can stream in voice, i'll check you out ๐
So we can't individually have a bad deck day then?
When do all rangers get access to private beta?
I'm such a noob... give me a few more tries. lol
Stubborn noob
Any way to change our pw?
I've had today a crash with "out of video memory" error
Just happened once
The deck today is tricky but had the max at wave 14 with air one
how do i change rangers weapon and armor on mac keyboard? cannot figure it out for the life of me
shift + mouse right click
I tried out the public beta, but it was very laggy on my mac ๐ฆ
I suggest you to lower at minimum level the graphic and video settings, and of course to close every program/window you have in background.
That helped, thanks. The curser is still pretty laggy. Is it possible to have it not use the animated one and just the system mouse pointer?
afaik nope, but usually this kind of things are not relevant. Also use the fullscreen mode, it helps.
12 is so hard
it's that little crab thing top left i swear
just deletes my team
Yes place your ranger at the right to tank the three illuvials there.
Place umbre, scoriox, Ryplance, Scarabok and sear on the left. They should go through the enemies in a quick pace and fix things up without too much of an issue.
here you go
Yeah usually you shouldnt focus titanor though, he has invincibility the first 4 seconds. But if this works, then great!
what should i use on the ranger, shield?
Yep
yeah, is the only wave where i do that ๐
You guys don't have a solution for 19? 19 to me is basically two sides (fire and on the other spore,nature, bloom stuff) but i can't balance it ๐
used air to tank the water canon ๐
Ive used shield all the way up to 26
god damn you got to 26
that's crazy
i used the following:
12) air
13 water
14 water
15 water
16 air
17 air with empath
but all depends on your team ...
im just realising how bad i am lmaoo
You just need to adjust placement a little ๐ if things dont work out, then think: How can i make it so that the enemies hit as many different units as possible? That usually is the way to go. Dont let them focus on one target at a time.
is there a rule of thumb for how to deal with rhamphyre?
Ryplance > Rhamphyre. If that doesnt work, then lure him away from the rest of your units. Option 3: kill the initial focus quick enough, while placing your damage dealers far enough in the back so that they focus rhamphyre afterwards. He dies pretty fast.
this wave gives me trouble sometimes
See you are hitting allthe different illuvials here. Place your scoriox further to the right, focussing Sear and thรฉnTeeantee. Place your umbre to hit teeantee, and things should go a lot smoother. (Though i dont really like umbre in that wave because teeantee is invincible for 4 seconds here as well)
man exactly two waves in which i focus tanks and you are asking for them ๐
Takes practice! You'll get there!just place skarabok in the back, or your ranger with the shield ๐
so i should only put 1 tank in the back?
Depends on the amount of rogues. I use to do like 1 tank per 2 rogues. Titanor (if we had him) could tank 3-4
And then it is all about positioning it well again ๐
ill be off now though so good luck!
alright thanks for your help
4-5 Rogues can be tanked by two bulwarks. It really is about positioning.
Noob question, how do i change my ranger weapon?
shift + right click
Still have the same crash when entering the game.. anyone else?
when i open the app it says an error but when i open from Illuvium-Win64-Shipping it works, is it normal?
I believe someone else was having the issue, will note it down see if they all already aware
anyone having issues with game crashes around wave 13?
First time ever! While the pros are asleep ๐คฃ
My Game keeps crashing at wave 6, anybody else having this issue??
Nice! I am coming!
yeah this deck is crashing way more than the past 2
Ahhhh okay, i had to make sure it wasnt just me. I have so much RAM open
Are you able to report it? I like that they included in the feedback a choice to send your Pc specs too.
Any tips for taking out adorius? I'll chuck three rogues on it and it still out heals their attacks ๐ญ
Yea i reported it with PC specs
Leave it for last? But yeah, 3 stage 3 rogues is what I did to take it out. In a 6 empath board I go straight for it
Can you get on the leaderboard also with casual mode or only with the timer?
Hey, friends, I just got selected to play on beta and I am downloading the game.
But I have 2 questions
1- is there a blog post or website with good information about the affinities and gameplay strategies?
2- in the website it says I can't share footage, but in the youtube video It says I am allowed as long as I say to my audience that it is a private beta, etc.
I had the same issue, when I put the illuvium application on desktop it doesn't work but inside the folder it works.
Hey!
- Illivialmaster.com is a good start
- I have raised the beta website language. No one is fixing it. It bothers me a lot.
Good strategy for the early / mid game for those struggling to get past wave 15...
Start with only stage 1 illuvials (get a full board of 8 illuvials before putting down any stage 3's) then slowly start to upgrade each illuvial to stage 2 & 3 as you get to later waves. Doing this makes the first 10-12 waves very easy. You can get to wave 15-20 quite easily using this method combined with good positioning
Love the game so far with the beta battle play. Is there anything I may have missed describing literally every class, attribute, synergy? I feel I missed it. I'd love to be able to read that to leverage a better understanding of the counters, weaknesses, etc for strategy.
LOVE this challenge by the way, LOVE the graphics AND the game play, lol. Just this part alone is addicting. I like how hard it is. It's engaging and for me to have something so engaging with my mind is very fun and rewarding. Having done real life battle I love learning and growing, adapting, learning and eventually getting better, lol.....quick
Check out infoluvial.io
See, I never learned ANY of that. How can I upgrade them or MERGE them
I did, lol. Didn't see anything. I'll have to go back. Would truly love to read up on it all
ahhhhh, I was dumb and so quick, lol. I didn't read further. Thank you
are you talking about the YT video?
I've watched that already. Hmmmm, watching again just in case
Take one off the board and replace it with a stage 2 or 3 as you get more gold.
Yeah, I was trackin on that
Love learning this though so keep it comin
I appreciate everything y'all can shoot this way
Having 6 tier 1's is better than 2 tier 3's and 1 stage 2 for the same cost
Does anyone know why there are two hybrid armors and one is just worse?
During the beta we have access to all the armors available. So these are different tiers of armor
Ah okay, thanks! And as far as I understood these will later also cost masterypoints, right?
I think we will have to craft it
OOHHHHH, man! I listened to that video while I was at work. MAN! I missed SO MUCH. Ok, love it
I missed the whole hyper mode part. Smdh, lol. SLIGHTLY important, lol
I'll be back in the am. Love all this folks. Thanks a bunch on this. I'm learning a lot from all of you
15 is hard
Yeah I've no got past it yet either.
I have to get home asap to play this game. Can't get anything done at work cause i keep thinking about different strategies and synergies. This game is ruining my job ๐๐คฃ๐
Would you feel better without access? ๐
Would feel better without my job ๐ช
Wish we can have a screenshot option that would save an image automatically. or a camera option to take some selfies in mage ๐
Check their air/nature count before attempting to kill it with rogues, if its too high might be better to leave for later
Thanks!
Wow the first rounds are a breeze with this strategy. Thanks!
I think that is my light bulb moment I was uncosicously doing that at the begiining and doing well been going backwards eversince cuz upgrading to early
Could we have our rank on the website leaderboard on format 25/1530
So we can get a feel of the number of people who play each days ?
Ooo I like that
Except eventually itโs gonna be like 72638482/288485843
How many do you think we are roughly ATM ?
We will be informed when there is a new build of the game?
Yes
I see, interesting! I find that the worst strat is to place a stage 3 at the very beginning. I'm only placing the first stage 3 around wave 12 or so...
I still find it ridiculous how good some of those Stage 1 Illuvials are due to them filling their Omega bar much faster. Having Vermi tank Vermilliare so long is just too fun ๐
What wave did you get too today Sascha?
Haven't played yet today, but will soon. Yesterday it was 19 I think. Only really got to find time to start playing a few days ago, so a little bit behind everyone. But I will catch up 
it work to me cheers wave17
So good to use stage ones as cheap tanks for rogues while you take care of the rest of their team?
It's true. Having lots of stage 1's is low key OP. Don't be fooled by their small size ๐คฃ
The 3sec daze coming off earlier on Stage 1 Vermi than his Stage 3 Vermilliare version is what makes this play quite lucrative at times. I don't think (other, currently more informed players might disagree) that throwing cheap stuff away in general is the right play though ๐
is not just using stage 1 because ramphite was able to kill almost all my team
What's the best strategy? Or does it change every day, considering the deck? What kind of deck to collect when the game comes out? ๐
The game is super well made. I'm absolutely hooked and addicted!
And here are some of my personal remarks about the game so far;
- Need checkpoints at certain levels or when ever you die in regular mode (restarting from 0 each time is bit frustrating sometimes)
-Sound breaks sometimes when there are a lot of Illuvials on the board
-Need a explanatory guide on how synergies and omega's work for beginners
-Difficult to see the explanation of an illuvial you already placed on the board
ramphire is so dangerous xD
You can use scarabok to tank him while 2-3 other illuvials clean up the opponents before attacking Rhamphyre as a team.
thats what happen just in time for the special trigger and kill them all
Does the deck change every day or is it a once a week thing
Every day at 00:00 UTC
Damn, might get passed 13
Are you having fun playing the PB? ๐ฅฒ
alot
I think my best is actually 13 today haha
@zenith mortar
As per Fraggy, around 1,750.
We believe her now?
That are the numbers I remember
only got to wave 12. But dahm, so many fun combinations to do
Yup! Been experimenting fun ways like all water, all bulwark, and just having fun seeing how far I can go ๐คฃ
How can I send a screenshot here?
You need to have lvl 5 to be able to post screenshots. You can check your rank in #๐ใbot-commands
Thank you
If I send you a screenshot of the game error, could you send it here?
Sure but I'll post it in #976751873447034901 ๐
I want to solve the error problem because my beta is not running
@brazen quarryThank you friend!
Does not start at all, crashes a couple of seconds after the captcha
That happened to me a lot. What specs are your laptop/pc mine wasnโt good enough to run it
ryzen 5900x RTX3080ti
Oh well that should be fine lol. I can be of no more assistance!
Guessing you have uninstalled and reinstalled. Some people were saying they had issue with their security settings. And make sure your apps are up to date
the game doesn't need an awesome graphic card to run. I can run it on epic with this default laptop card
lol - minesweeper only brah!
YES, I did all this, I also tried to turn it off vsync
I don't have integrated graphics
Sorry I dunno, when I was struggling with something different. I went into the engine or illuvium folder into extras and prerequisites and ran that first then I managed to get on
I ran it from the illuvium folder, the same error
Iโve only gotten to play twice since getting it but I get to feeling really limited with the deck, like I canโt get to the 6 affinity synergy. Maybe Iโm doing something wrong or just not seeing how it works properly ๐ค
Remember things like inferno count as 2 fire.
Right but donโt illuvials in the same line not increase affinity, say like axon and axodon their affinity doesnโt stack?
Yeah thatโs true. I havnt seen the deck today so I canโt say for sure.
U can use the rangers weapon to add another affinity too
Yes this tends to be an issue :) But this is here to familiarise you with the game ๐ you should work with what you get. And it might surprise you where it can take you :D
6 affinities is not really important since it doesnt affect composite units
The stacks do though ๐ค
Iโm still waiting on an invite to PB1, is everyone likely to get access before the full game is released? Or how is this to work?
True but there is no threshold between 5 and 6
Iโd disagree because the bonusโ would help even the composite affinities. Going from 30-40% regen on energy say can make the difference between one illuvial going after last enemy versus two of your guys surviving to take down last
True. Thresholds dont matter but it still is a slight increase in power ๐
This is where I say I was feeling limited because it meant I had to field a more diverse team when sometimes itโs stronger to be able to go whole ham down one path for a turn
Thereโs definitely a learning curve that I havenโt studied enough yet this is just me getting a feel for the gameplay
And my only other experience for auto battle being TFT
Also I think a few hot keys would work well, say instant recall button, save camera point, cinematic view (side view close up), maybe hold alt and scroll down thru affintiy/class type things
Starts incorporating both hands for a more dynamic feel and engages more than just the mind
Is there a chart to see whatโs effective vs different type of illuviums?
Check the pinned messages
Turn on ray tracing lol
Oh dear lord donโt my 1080 went from doing great to holy shit ima die put me out of my misery in .2 seconds. It was a struggle just to get it ray tracing back off with the mouse delay and rubber banding
Dude my rtx 3090 canโt handle it lol
Gonna need a quantum processor by the time open beta begins
whut
When does the rtx 5000000 come out? 2050?
ofcourse ray tracing is off. ๐ but is nice to see that I don't need a XPTO graphic card for this. I was even thinking on buying a razor core x just to play illuvium. looks like I will not need it
It has a very large range from:
playable to > looks great > super HQ > insane GRANT mode
Optimizations will continue to improve the quality on lesser machines.
how do people beat wave 13?
Skills 
I donโt even remember.
used this first game today
This adorius should be deleted from this game. How can it not die when i send 3 rogues to kill it?
Send 4 
He is bristleback with lifesteal :p
Bristleback with ac and octarine ๐๐คฃ๐
Hey All! I got an email Tuesday saying I was able to play the PB1. Just wanted to confirm these emails were legit before clicking anything. It looks offical
Go to the official website to know for sure.
You never need to click links in an email from Illuvium. Just go to the website and log in. But, you can know that email are legitimate if they are actually coming from addresses with the @ illuvium.io domain. Probably you got the beta email from beta@illuvium.io
Raytracing puts my 144 fps to 20 in epic quality ๐
Hahaha I spotted his ability, it's a badass when added with a healing one.
Even his allies can't die because he's filling them with hp
Should a MacBook pro from 2020 be able to handle graphic settings on low with the current build according to your estimations or are optimizations not there yet? I was expecting it to be good enough, but it was super laggy for me with low graphic settings.
Hard to say when it's an Intel HD integrated graphics.
But I used it with low config on an Asus from 2016 with gtx970 and work with multiple lags and freezes
Hmm okay. I hope it improves for our lower end machines. I'm still hopeful, but it's currently not really playable for me.
Made it to the top 20. Not bad ๐๐คฃ๐
Nice job! What wave is that today
Lol, the same thing happened to me when I tried to turn on ray tracing (2080ti)
haha, I gotta try this now....
I think it was wave 18? I was ranked 18th
I didn't like autobattlers cause i thought it was simple and boring. Now i'm starting to see how complicated it is ๐ but i'm loving it
Yup, you got it! Thank you ๐
Played my first few rounds of beta & LOVE it! So fun, gaming experience has been smooth, and clearly difficult gameplay to master. Excited for a proper grind sesh to clear higher waves โจ
jesus christ...can't get past wave 12
I'm stuck on 13
got to 19 first try today now i can't get back up there ๐
Going mad, trying to remember how you did it
I have almost tried all combos nothing is working for me lol
server down ?
People getting to 21 so it must be possible
Don't think so, why?
yeah I know, I'm still learning...never tried autobattler before
we are 2 on discord, got a crash at same time and now cant log in
works fine for me
I can't test now, I can test in 30min o
Heisen i posted a screenshot earlier of Wave13 comp i used first time if its any help
good lord, where is it๐
Hmm
Thanks ser..lets try it out.
crossing fingers for you 
wait, isn't it wave 14?
same pos and comp just went into wave14
aah ok makes sense
just saw someone ask for help on 13 just as i completed it ^^
all good after 3 try it worked
2x Steam with 6 Psions works pretty good aswell 
damnit
im on 13 now ๐
After watching a frobei gameplay from another deck im wondering if vermi and adorius arenโt the key to getting past 11 with mystic empath and air
can confirm it works on 13 @lofty palm ๐
Adding a lil shield on the tankies
I did use adorius earlier though
Right but vermi would give you 3 empath wouldnโt it? Increasing shield?
gonna keep grinding then 
deadge on 17 
it gives one empath and one rogue so yeah
I agree with this strategy in having the ranger use the shield. Helps bring them away from those sly little bastards that zip past everyone from behind, lol
yeah feels like the most usefull weapon atm ๐
I really need to sit down and go through cas to get a better feel for all the classes and affinities but I think having that extra empath boost would give adorius what it needs to sustain the later fights better for everyone
Actually thinking about it I think empath gives anyone shielded higher atk speed doesnโt it?
Is there a x2 speed feature being taken into consideration?
got to wave 12 and crached man :((

Agreed
I also canโt get past 13! Haha
I honestly donโt know that would be useful, I mean I can see where youโd want to rush the early waves till like 5 or so but beyond that youโd want to be able to take the time to see the damage and shield each of yours is doing to get a better feeling for whatโs going on during the fight
I must be completely blind, but can someone tell me where to easily check (ingame!) the Tier (NOT stage) of an Illuvial that has been either played to the board already (or was placed by as enemy)?
Well, after all it would be optional so if you don't want to use it, you can chose not to. I think it's a pretty good option for those who are either super casual or so good that they don't need to see numbers to know what to do (I'm obviously the first lol)
I can see your point, I just worry about those that would turn it on too early and miss out on all the learning info they need to grasp to be able to grow
16 the wall for me
Afaik you have to learn this from the card UI in your own deck (the dashes on the cards), then apply this to the opposing team; that said, unclear how useful that information is
Tier still says something about raw power (afaik). I know the tier of most lines from memory already anyway, but I don't find it intuitive if both stage AND tier are shown on the card in the deck but only stage is shown when checking the Illuvials on the board.
You folks looking forward to the upcoming patch?!
Should be a good one! It's not the big big one, but it improves hyper so much
Yasssss
Oh my! Might be premature to ask, but will there be patch notes?
Are the same affinities neutral to each other? So water against water for example. Or is it like pokemon where it is 'not very effective'?
Agreed it's nice to have the UI consistent throughout, like with the tiers. Could you write this in the feedback sub-thread?
Just wanted to make sure first I'm not the one who is blind ๐ Will do.
Turns out you've got good eyes. ๐
hi ๐
how does the energy get charged up in a fight, is it just time based, or do other factors increase / decrease the charge?
Everytime an illuvial attacks/gets attacked it gains energy
so tanks should probably charge faster
or dds that are placed in front to gain more dps ๐
finally got to wave 15, got dahm 6 empath is hard to beat with a Ardorius
yeah 15 was definitely the hardest wave today
What do you guys think of PB1?
Is there some sort of survey we can fill in
I saw andrew talking something about feedback in the tutorial video
simply awesome, can't believe that this is only a beta. It's hard to stop playing ๐
Found a feedback tab in the top right but i am not sure how how often they want to hear that the game is awesome ๐
looking forward to us being able to start designing our own deck, will be fun to see what people come up with
i am in general curious how future game modes will look. I mean creating your own deck sure is a task on its own but random generated decks for tournaments can be fun too, i guess
I find the autobattler really difficult to master, so many things! You don't have enough neurons to check even the basic stats of illuvials
In theory the basic stats will be different even for the same illuvial? And you will be able to level them up right?
make your world smaller ๐
but yeah, it is easy to understand but hard to master
I still don't get the composite synergies. For example if I have a Tsunami (water+water) in addition to the Tsunamy affinity should I get 2 basic water synergies?
Or just the tsunami
i believe that is highly situational:
are there other synergies that you can reach that provide more benefit that 3 energy regen
is water even a good choice against that wave and so many more questions ๐
Hahaha yeah sure! I just comment that because I put on the board the 3 evolutions of Atlas, Axon and Axodon and I just saw a 2 counter for water synergy, when the 3 are water (and Axodon Tsunami). That confused me
Do you think that 1 minute is enough time ? I wouldn't mind to have 30 extra sec for each round ๐ค
i believe the same evolution line only counts once
I think 1 min will make more sense in pvp
Todays deck was super hard 
so it counts only tsunami with 2x water
how lond did you guys come?
The Tsunami counts for 2 water (being water + water), but if you were to play another Illuvial of the same line, it wouldn't count for extra water OR extra Tsunami.
I agree, because you can't see what the opponent is going to use
Lol didn't know that exception for the same line ones. Thanks Blickter!
still wondering if that will always be true or if there will be a draft mode where we can counter more
Those 6 Empath waves with Adorius are brutal today.
You can test it for yourself with like, Axon/Axodon. Ex. Axon is Water/Harbinger (So, Psion, Bulwark, Water) and Ranger has Fire Sword for Fire + Fighter.
With Axodon in the mix, we gain 1 water, and 1 Tsunami, but no extra Harbinger (and not 3 water, still just 2, because Axon is now providing literally no class/affinity bonus, it's all coming from Axodon)
Ok so is always the higher evolution which gives you the synergies. Normally it won't be profitable having Illuvials of the same line at the same time
Been playing for 4hrs now. I still can't beat wave 18 ๐ any good suggestion?
Yeah, AFAIK all the Stage 3's inherit all of the class/affinity of their predecessors (stuff like Lynx would probably be an exception), so if you have the Stage 3 out, the only reasons to play the lower stages of that line is for the Illuvial itself, or to capitalize on existing bonuses.
Atlas is a good example of that, he can be worth playing even if you have an Axodon out, because he's a cheap and effective little tank if you have 3pc Bulwark.
this worked for me 100% of the time @versed dew
I'm extremely excited to get more Illuvials in the mix, being able to push synergies further with more lines available is gonna be awesome ๐
Did the server go down? I am having trouble connecting.
Never mind. Working again!
today is the first day i will be able to play at reset. whats the story do we just load the game 1 minute after or is there some down time?
yesterday i received an error while playing with the old deck. I was able to play the new deck instantaneously
good to know. cheers!
that was my last round, but at the start of wave 19 my game crashed. I won the wave but couldn`t go on 
Thx. I tried that line up but with ramphyre in place of kukka and adorius. Maybe that's why i couldn't win. Better luck next time. I'm too sleepy to play another round.
yeah, gl next time ๐
Never could make any good use of ramphyre until now :/ but well maybe with the next decks ๐
Is there a new software version out?
It keeps crashing on me
Not even trying to break it now.
I use it cause i like the effect whenever it uses omega. But 3games in wqve 18 triggered me cause it couldn't even use omega ๐
Of course it crashed now when the deck changed
First time getting 1st ๐ , @hasty blaze and I put our brains together for this one
๏ผญ๏ผฅใ2nd
crashed on round 15 damn
Lets see how long it will last
first time on the leader board lets go 
Crashed on 13
what did you use?
6 bulwark?
Yes shortly but I focused on getting as many different secondary tank stats as possible
Again crash on 13
Is the survival mode changed? I lost 2 round but still continued, and it was game over when I was defeated for the 3rd time.
Rendering thread exception:
Fatal error!
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00000268ee91c4d0
just got 4th in the leader board! feels good!
I could only get to wave 13 today zz
Good morning Gang! I have a question about the profiles when I logged in for the first time a couple of days ago I didn't set up a name or profile it's jist had one and was like level 32. Is that just cause it's the beta?
I'm stuck at wave 16. It's a bug the way I see it ๐
Yeah, the name's automatic with the beta.
Not a feature?
All good thank you for your response! I am enjoying the game I sure once everyone has a go this game will be huge! Have a good one!
Tips on getting past wave 7?
Pray
Figure out placement for stunning and then taking out whatever is defeating your illuvials. And move everything else to a different spot.
(I havenโt seen the wave. But that usually works)
Give Arlen the shield let her 1v1 whatever rogue is killing you
Fun deck. Magma is sick
Yeah I prefer magma to steam.
Sear is one of my favorites so far. And scoriox does an insane amount of damage.
Yeah those boosted attacks are intense.
Goes from sniper to bazooka
I think I saw him do 800 dmg on one attack when he had the omega, hyper, and fighter bonus all going.
They get the little fire boost too right? Itโs in the ui at least
I think so but im not 100% sure. I havn't been digging too deep into the specifics of how everything works cause I figure lots will still change before release.
How is this possible?
The enemy counter is bugged. You can ignore it and just pay attention to the wave number.
I also don't know how people are getting to wave 24 ๐
That's what I actually meant ๐
I played 1 game and got to 15
Yes, got some fun ones
My hexes still disappear randomly on a i7 3050
Wen strategy guide?
High score is 30???
Who is LovingAtlas? I need to see how they play ๐
What a legend
Me ;)
Do you have a video of how you play haha?
Not a recording, but I usually stream a couple games on discord when the deck resets.
Well let's go then
I will be offering up coaching as well
I'll try to get on the next stream and learn from pepe senpai.
Getting on the leaderboard is addicting thatโs the fucking hook my guys
Apparently the desk making it pr easy today with air staff..?
So everyone should be hitting wave 30 today right?
How do change the hunter's abilities?
Guys, I want to know how to get the plot of liv and how to get the white list. I hope I can get help
Shift+right click
Nice!!! Thank you ma bro
Quite easy my friend, there is no WL
There's a full list of hotkeys and controls pinned to this channel for future reference ๐
Thanks man! Checking it out now!

What I want to know is the price of mint
Check the pinned messages in #๐ฎใilluvium-zero
Speaking of hotkeys/controls anyone found a way to start battle without having to click the button at the top of the UI?
only got to wave 15 today
same
Damn Adorus is hard to beat ๐ฎโ๐จLost out on wave 12, goal to hit 15 by end of weekend. So addictive!
Man, how can I participate? I feel fun when I see them playing. How can I play
You can apply for beta with the link provided in #๐ใhelpful-links
Focus your healer first or the damage will just keep coming
Cant beat it either
my highest score so far, 6 empath combo is really great
Best play against Adorius?, I can only send 2 assassins to not weaken my DPS protection, on Wave 13
the only thing i can say is to either go for the kill or not trying to hit him at all, the more you hit him, the more heals he will put out
I know, will try a different approach,i kinda get stuck in a mindset and it is hard to let go and get a different perspective
Hi, how the hell do I beat wave 11 today?
hi guys, some hours ago i was able to play but now it says that my account is not authorized
probably entering wrong password
theoretically i'm not that stupid XD
ok i'm that stupid
dont know why yesterday the game was laggy with low graphic now is perfect with high grapic
When reaching 1 minute in a round, you succeed in that round despite certain enemies still being alive. Not sure if those are counted as "killed" then, so that could be an explanation as well (aside from a bug).
this will probably already been mentioned several times, but remember login credentials would a nice (simple) addition to the client
I once had 1 unit survived after 1 min when there were 6 enemies on the board and I still won. I think this is a bug
No, currently, as far as I am aware, surviving one minute equals winning the round
Counter against adorius is adorius itself ๐..have your own team with bunch of empaths
Yep,cant beat them joint them,got to wave 15 and got greedy deploying Dualeph instead of 3 smaller units..
I got past wave 15-16 once and now I'm struggling ๐
Goal for the day is wave 20๐ฌ
damn the Beta bring my MacBook Air M1 to fire xD time to Invest to M1max.. anyone play on it ? or better a other Gaming Laptop?
lol it hurts doesnt' it on the Air M1, I just ordered a Mac Studio 
oh yeah it hurt an goes after some houres laggy not fraggy xD
Mine starts lagging once I get to wave 12 or so
But you can still go, it's just not smooth anymore ๐
i aim for the Portabel stuff.. be a lot on tour... so i can everywhere keep my addiction on level xD
yes i play on low graphics.. help a bit....
Hey Zom. Sent you a Friend Request. Wanted to ask you sth.
and crash nr4 today....
Don't hit it at all. Go for other illuvials first. The more you hit it the more annoying it gets
I need a crash curse explanation on the Hypers
Frobei made a video on it, you can check out his yt
Hi, anyone able to find a solution with the round 13 crash? I read a while ago someone has the same issue. It crashed the unreal engine 4.
As in focus on attacking enemy healer, or building up my own?
Yep did that ,still insanely annoying
Yeah kieran confirmed this is a feature not a bug. However there are plans to increase the timer so it rarely comes into play for deciding battles. Relatively rare right now tbh.
got to wave 21 but couldnt beat 22 :((
Congrats, wave of today looks hard
To give some feedback: I personally think all the information on the side of the screen can be a bit bigger
And I appreciate the depth of the game, but I am skeptical of "normal" people enjoying the fighting because it seems so complex at the start
It's like DOTA vs League of Legends
DOTA is much more complex and has a steeper learning curve
While League of Legends is much easier to pick up
Maybe it is possible to create a kind of "noob mode"?
please god no, just make a really good tutorial that explains everything.
I personally prefer complex gameplay and really enjoy the thought out mechanics (big dota fan)
With my investor hat on, I would say to attract a broader player base, a "noob mode" can serve as a first step in the "sales funnel" to onboard as much people as possible
A good tutorial where you start to play and you go through everything while you play, is another "method" of reducing the complexity initially perceived by many players, yes
I think the overworld will attract more non tactical players already while the auto battler will attract more tactical players, so not really an issue imo
And not having played any auto battlers before I must say it's not too hard to get into the auto battler mechanics of Illuvium.
Unless I want to become competitive. In that case it will take a while, but I don't mind
did you watch this tutorial?
https://play.illuvium.io/
i am talking about an ingame tutorial, not something written
it is ingame
Bigger info on screen ? I agree with that !
To make it less strategical ? Absolutely not. Who is lazy can just think about affinities, who is competitive can think hard to show his value
i dont see a tutorial mode ingame ๐
ahh, i ment the video tutorial
Wave 18 highest today....
I'm not saying "make it less strategical". You can read my comments again. I'm saying make it seem less complicated, the 1st time you try it. Maybe by hiding some "advanced" options or something
It's very overwhelming for normal people
Exactly this
It's like playing a complicated board game with your friends. YOU might enjoy diving into the complexity of the rules and the mechanics, but the majority does not
So you end up 1 time playing this board game which you really enjoy and for the rest of the year, it's in the closet, because nobody wants to play it again
What about it is so overwhelming?
I do understand that it's overwhelming. The typing/Affinities are tough, the classes and positioning with T5s are not easy to get a grasp on, and we aren't even talking about the equipment. But for the Open beta, we'll only be able to use T0s initially so all of those concerns will fade away and you'll have an easier time getting used to the intricacies of the game.
I hope the augments and such will also be as simply structured as the T0s and their omega abilities.
Anyone recommend certain specs for running this game? My pc is lagging hard so gonna order something new hopefully today
Fucking loving it so far though, enjoying the complexity!!
๐
And this is a private beta. In game tutorial is when the game releases
Both really lol but I meant in this instance focus on taking down adorius and line first so they canโt keep healing and being a nuisance
@winter perch I can't see them not having a full on multi step tutorial plus hint/guide menu for the full release.
If that entirely clears away the friction of starting and enjoying the game for people without game experience, then yes that sounds like a great solution
AND also guys
Extremely well done about the game, everything is so smooth and detailed and beautiful, great accomplishment
This belongs in #976752118008545310 
is there a reason to play the game with a timer? isnt all the same ladder?
To train for tournaments
Nothing is โcomplicatedโ, thereโs a ton of information out there already on how to strategize. โNormalโ people are lazy and want everything handed to them as opposed to theory crafting themselves
Yes, so with that knowledge..... what do you do to get as many people playing as possible?
Do you know when the next tournament will be and how we can qualify?
I'm not aware of any future tournaments.
I reached wave 21 and i didn't even make it to the leaderboard? How many pros do we have here?
Enough to fill the leaderboard

Hol up I got knocked ๐ ima have to hit that grind today
Overworld is meant to be the casual play mode
I think most casual players would enjoy collecting them while traveling around in those beautiful areas, then once they make a little bit of money and collect a few illuvials they will get hooked
is there any information how the pvp game will work? like placing one illuvial after another? and who would start it then?
It's not about which game is meant for what, it's about how to maximize the amount of players (for every game Illuvium has to offer and) to at least want to try out the autobattler, then maybe they will stick. They won't even start when it's perceived as "overwhelming"
Simple sales funnel stuff of your game
Let your gf play the game and let her give her opinion
I'm 100% sure the Team is aware and will try to maximize # of players btw
They have to maximize the number of players for the ecosystem as a whole, not for each and every game within it. And they are already doing a lot with the superb quality free-to-play option. If you want competitive gamers as well as casuals it might not be possible to please everyone to the same extent on each game type.
Lmao, how do you maximize players for the ecosystem?
You maximize the amount of players for each game...
It's not hard
If by making it less "overwhelming" you scare the competitive gamers, and you lose overall, than ok that's a valid tradeoff and keep it like it is
You are wrong lady ๐ It does not matter which game a player plays within the range of games offered by illuvium. Not all players will equally like each game types
The complexity needed for the competitive aspect and the simplicity preferred by casuals are on the same spectrum. You can't have it all. But they do offer great game choices for both camps
You have a point there, if you are looking at 1 person entering the ecosystem and because a person has limited time, he/she can only play maybe 1 game on the competetive/casual spectrum that he or she likes. So the ecosystem provides everything for everyone
I'm talking about a person which might very well like the autobattler but is scared off by the initial perceived complexity
And honestly, complexity in the mechanics gives depth to the game, complexity in the UI is just annoying and gives unnecessary resistance
I hear you and it's a tradeoff for sure. I heard Aaron mention that they are working on fine-tuning the UI and I'm sure the final version will be one that will please more people.
I don't think I can mention stuff that is not noticed by Aaron already, but I can always try
Autobattlers without complexity will be like a disney movie
Yeaaaaa mayb want to read my before last sentence
Yeah, that can be improved with feedback of what we see. As this is the 1st UI, I'm confident they will improve it even more
where can i watch someone good stream?
Made it to the top 20 again ๐ช๐ช๐ช
Congrats, currently stuck at wave 17...have a proper go after kids are sleeping๐
Makecthem sleep asap before they change the deck ๐
This deck is good
are we able to make it onto the leaderboard in casual mode or do we have to play competitive?
you can in casual
Working on it๐ its candy day and they get a bit energized and hyped up
Wave 18 done:-)2 more to go
How's everyone doing today? I reached wave 22.
๐คฉ
Where is the best place to provide beta feedback?
Not that impressive, think we're gonna have at least 20 people hitting wave 30 today ๐
Feedback:
I really feel like synergies like bulwark should be applied before the battle begins.
It took me a long time to realize, and I did not understand why bulwark didn't work, until I found out that the buff is only applied after the battle starts.
Likewise it would be nice to how much shield is applied with synergies like empath before the battle starts.
I also feel like it is quite hard to understand how composite synergies work.
For instance: do the primary synergies for the corresponding composite synergies improve the composite synergies, when they(the primaries) are increased?
in the thread #976752118008545310 ๐
haha, thanks, sorry
Good Evening. My internet is low.... ๐ข Can anyone suggest specific Settings to play on MacBook? E.g. Video Resolution, etc. ...
anyone here hit wave 30?
1v1 is going to be crazy
just hit 27. could not quite make it to 30
what were u running
But it was competitive so I feel quite good about it.
yeah thats huge
last comp was sear, scoriox, titanor, adorius, dualeph, axodon, malura, ramphite
with the air shield you get 6 bulwarks
Candy day?!?
did the deck just reset?
Saturday is Candy day and movie night,Saw sonic 2 for the 10th time(still an awesome movie)
they get candy basically๐
nvm
Yep
nailed it
? I dont understand ๐ ๐ง
goal for the day was wave 20
ah, in that case gz ๐
How did you do?
place 7 on your screen - so kinda happy ๐
empath seems op ๐
6-7 empath and pick rogues up near archos if possible
Got 26 today. 2nd day playing so not complaining. I see why everyone was wanting check points as u go along. Pretty painful grinding back through each time
What do you mean by this exactly? Were you putting archos near backline every round?
most of the time i had one big cluster around it
but that way you can check if you really understood how a wave works ... ๐ but yeah can be frustrating as well
That sounds awesome. Might have to watch it again, although I donโt have kids. My bro has 4 and he knows all the kids movies back the front ๐คฃ
Iโm seeing 6 stage 3, 2 tanks and 1 healer. Anything else key here?
Archos is great at tanking rogues because he stays farther back because of his ranged attack. Just dont put him up against ramphyre. Hyper Ramphyre will end your run.
Plus the healing from the nature synergy makes him tanky enough to get his ult off if you have some help from empath shielding.
adonis is now my least favourite to verse
Excuse me sirs this new deck ๐๐ right when Iโm showing off the game to the neighbor french kiss perfect
French kissing the neighbor?! ๐
Haha but what makes this one perfect, Okyrox?
Just the hook factor for my neighbor he got all excited to see it like bro get in the seat and go I wanna see it ๐
Thatโs awesome!! Was it his first time seeing it? Might be time to tell him to register for the private beta ๐
It was heโs been asking about it cuz Iโve been hyping and being able to show him looks like heโs diggin it
Perfect. Have him fill out the application on the site and maybe heโll get access of his own 
the game need music at the log in screen
TEST
on mac how do i scroll sideways in the illuvial deck. 2 finger drag doesn't work
lol. nevermind.... just figured it out
just upgraded my PC from a rtx 1650 to a rtx 3070... i got to say playing in max setting is just insane!
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't understand at first
Ok, lmao I've found some early success with all level 1, singular element illuvials. Then returning them for higher up illuvials later on. I started with all water illuvials....but then when I contributed a singular fire element into the mix it didn't end well. Looks like your crew ends up buffing up better with using all singular or similar elemental powers
I'm loving this by the way, lol....the challenge. I qualified for COD:mobile worlds in 2020-2021 and it wasn't really a challenge. So I'm loving this being as trying as it is. Thank you
This is OF COURSE obvious noob info, I'm just saying that the video shows using a variety of elements and I haven't found too much success with that early on in the combat levels
I'm very much so enjoying chasing this though
Definitely a different kind of game huh?
Yeah i feel kinda overwhelmed by how complex the battle system is but i think that's a good thing. It's been a lot of fun trying different things. It's really genius how this is all put tugether.
Its definitely a complex system. Determining what illuvial goes good against the enemy illuvial. Where can I place them so they can have a favorable fight. Making sure damage dealers are shielded and or healed is super important. I cant even count how many times a Rogue illuvial has killed my damage dealers early on because of my poor placement.
Having a ton of fun in beta, honestly didnt think id get this addicted to pve lol
โIโll just do a quick 15 minute run of illuvium PB1 before I sleepโ. ITโS A LIE!!!
Just kind of curious, do we have an overall game feedback from the community? I was having a conversation with someone and they feel the state of the game is boring, and really all graphics. In terms of keeping the game interesting, not sure how they will keep retention like how TFT is doing by changing synergies, champions, abilities, etc...
Everyone has their own perception at different games. If they donโt want the autobattler then they donโt want it. Itโs simply not their โkind of gameโ. I find Fortnite to be boring but not for A LOT of gamers. Also, The autobattler is just a part of the whole illuvium gaming experience maybe they will find something good in the future releases. And even if not, fine. The world still moves on ๐
who reckons they made the game easy for the early rounds of beta and are making it harder for the later rounds hte pro's sure look'd good when only 500 in beta now its a real struggle ๐
loved frobie's casual walk through video btw ...hope to see more do that sort of thing
Well, I don't disagree with you. I think what I was trying to get at when someone said this was, based on other auto-battlers what about Illuvium would compel other players to want to play Illuvium over other autobattlers. Then onto the conversation of retention rate which is also something to think about down the road. I'm just curious what some of these opinions are is all; hence looking for something like a compilation of feedbacks.
Same argument applies imo. Illuvium autobattler is more complex and is deterministic, without RNGs. And it is more fun for some people and not for some. About retaining players, I think when the game rolls out and has been more balanced and more game released, imo they will eventually jump in fully, but yeah, weโre on the same page. I am also keen to know what the feedbacks are, especially the โnegativeโ ones but I donโt think it will be publicly available, I might be wrong.
Gm guys
Not sure if this has been discussed before... but wondering if we will face an issue down the line with someone creating a plug-in solver for the auto battle
much like people started using solvers for poker
i keep hearing it is deterministic (which I like a lot), but can someone tell me how dodge and precision works then?
I think it was like if you have 1 out of 7 chance to dodge, then you dodge every 7th
Open world
The game isnโt open source so you canโt just make a plug-in and run it inside the game engine. As far as making a bot to play the game essentially by using the mouse it would be simple to make a rudimentary one but I imagine it would be pretty easy to beat for a player with any amount of skill.
It has to be through an entropic system I think, which is basically what alex was talking about.
You will gain a seed when starting the battle which will decide your dodge/crit hits. Since both you and your opponent used that seed it will give the same outcome.
Ive heard that right now the seed is weird, as pathing is not the same at all times. So even if you place you units exactly the same, the game is not deteministic even though they only use one seed now.
Have personally not been able to test that out yet.
Oh word - So in theory you could get the god tier seed that has all crits? I was under the impression it was an entropy system with a random start point based on the seed.
It might be an entropy based on the seed... but the thing i heard is that the seed will decide the crit rates etc. Im not sure if they will make one with max crit values ๐
aah gotcha, makes sense - thanks!
TEST
Who will turn to for help? Beta won't start
message received, everything working perfectly , now go stream some Illuvium Beta
I disagree on "without RNGs" there's an element of RNGs in every wave, the critical hits and stuns could potentially determine if you win or lose cause they could interrupt/stop an ultimate.
Not saying it's bad though, there'll always be an element of RNGs involved and that could be fun because a slight move in positioning could change all that too
The Crits are every few attacks and same with the dodge. Itโs not a percentage that it might crit. U always know when itโs going to happen
actually I apologize, I didn't read what the conversation was about and assumed it was about the game in general
About to finally play again this weekend. Anything I should know about today's deck? :)
yes, the deck looks much better when you stream it so we can watch ๐ (some of us like to watch๐ )
Hahahaha! Sure. Will stream in a bit. Just settling in 
ayooo, where to look for stat & element counterparts? any site recs sir?
seems like everybody here made it to wave 30 easily y____y
Is it me or Adorius is a real pain in the ass healing everybody ? Iโm having a hard time beating waves when he is on the board
Yah Adorious is pretty good
Any suggestion to handle it ? Should I go for the kill from the start or try to kill the others first ?
It depends on the rest of the board and what your team is
I prefer taking out damage dealers first when I can
Either you beat him last or you beat him first with 3 rogues lol
Haha yeah you need a bit of fire power ๐
damn, it feels so good to be on leaderboard๐
Airstaff?
shield
Aww Iโm the one below you lol. Now Iโm have to play again!
Before providing official feedback, did anyone experience bugs with the earth daggers? I saw Arlen blink several times when normally she should just blink behind the enemy lines once at the start. I think she came from the surrounding water lol
Good luck ser, imma keep grinding as well ๐
hi, where i can read about, hiper of illuvials? how the natures works? I just started paying beta, but some stats are not explayned, like what is what.
i cant pass the 17, what is your secret mate? ๐
I have been using adorius and bunch of empaths.. heels the whole team lol
Frobie made a video about hypers...also you can check out infoluvial and illuvialmaster websites, they have pretty good stuff.
is just me or you feel that the rogs are not going to proper target? is supose to atak the closest target after teleorting?
I guess they works fine it's all about placement, maybe you're slightly misplacing your rogues?
Sometimes happens with me too when I'm defending against then
ok, i see the stats what the class is giving, but what +8 mean? how the nature is strong against granite? is giving some extra health, attack, speed? how to understand that? this was my question. you haw the caractere stats, i have its ability giving by the class to what he belong. Is anything what i am mising or is this is all. Apart from the hypers?
it is more when they jump to my side. I put a tank in front but the thank go to the mid of the map, but the rog is not attacking him, but attacking other unit what was not the closest to him at the time of jump.
That happens with me too when I use Arlen with shield as a tank she moves faster so by the time rogue reaches to your side your tank is not closest so they attack other units..that's what I have observed so far.
I'm also learning about affinities and classes, new to autobattler and stuff ๐ . Here I guess +8 means granite is strongest against inferno?
yes, + 8 inverno and weak to tsunami -8. But what exaclry this -8 and +8 mean, in terms of stats on the battle board.
I belive it means you fill your hyper meter quicker agains +8
Yeah I'm thinking the same. Sorry wanted to reply to Lars comment ๐
do you guys feel atlas have been nerfed ?
i m pretty sure he could tank ramfire, and now he can t
Wait what!!! I don't think so patches are rolled out already?
yep same I don t think so, that s why it s weird
you can test on wave 2 or 3 you he got blasted by ramphire
I use Arlen mostly xd
what grit and resolve means?
Physical and energy resist,can not rember which is wich
He guys, what is the minimum recommended game pc to play Illuvium?
just downloaded and started to play ๐
dont know, but gtx1650 I am all epic
I run a 1070 and works just fine - to the extent that helps
Will only get more optimized over time I imagine (especially as we move towards mobile)
What is the lowest score on the leaderboard now?
I can show you top 10
That is a tad high for me๐iam setting my goal for the day to come in at 20๐ฌ
noice
Grit = flat physical damage reduction, resolve = flat energy damage reduction
Physical and energy resistances are % damage reduction
illuvialmaster. com has an article that is a dictionary of a lot of the terms within Illuvium, like grit, resolve, precision, savagery, etc.
I would like to suggest that the GIVE UP button is renamed to EXIT or EXIT TO MAIN MENU, something like that. @noble radish
Absolutely not! If anything they need to go further like tesla did. It should say "I give up, I want my mummy"
Anybody have tips for wave 15? I cant get enough damage to get through the empath 6+adorius.
Yeah, but I really like it. Honestly a good thinking strategic game.
Adorius๐ก
Is there any articles about all of this, want to study in more details. Thank you.
Is it unlikely that all PB1 applicants will get access to the game before itโs released and revdis etc. starts?
Or different question. When is the game currently expected to be released?
This is what I did. Just got rid of the seer early and made sure to draw attention with your singe
There is a phyri and air staff in there
Cool thanks, That looks similar to what I had so i might just have to work on my positioning a little bit.
Having the singe there helped a lot cos it took a lot away. N have the titanor so it takes the ador hits too
do you know if singe gets the grit and resolve from his earth synergy or is it just the magma bonus?
Pretty sure he gets it. But other people might correct me
What is Resoluteness from Titanor?
Yeah Polemos did an encyclopedia https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12W8NmagHN5VEQ6z4nkCo2IW4dtzQUIHzQ6Lo9WlYn5I/edit#gid=87406242
very happy about this run
you running air staff or shield?
how did you get over wave 22 fucking savage ๐ I think you run it with the air staff?
im working to get past wave 11 lol
What are the best settings to play on MacBook? I feel like game moves very slow.. any advice someone??
Everything on low
Ok thanks, need game pc asap haha
Today's deck is pretty easy to use
todays deck has so much dmg what the hell
I just used 6 psion 6 earth then bam! Easy 20 waves ๐๐คฃ๐
a reason the deploy in cluster?
sir help, what does **number * OP mean? how does it calculate
and where to look to illuvial atk range while the card is in the hand? sometimes idk whether theyโre melee or not
and is there combat to check after each wave?
if one ilv has 100OP >> (300*OP) = 30,000.- energy damage? lmao wtf
For a brief moment in time, I was on top of the leaderboard this evening. Feeling pretty good for only having pb1 for a week and making a rookie move that ended my run 
wave 30 sir?
i believe omega power is a percentage multiplier
so 300 x 100 OP is just 300 damage, and if you had 150 OP it would be 300x1.5 so 450 damage
if you place a tank or two in your backline where the rogue units will jump they will buy your team some time so the damage dealers can deal with them later
but i miss having healers ๐ฆ
depends which macbook but it's actually running great on epic on m1max
this one sirs?
aint seefocus ss too op
today's deck is brutal af lmao
spoiler alert : here's a comp that works up to last wave :
guess daily cards different to each region & time zone?
No. Itโs global. New deck at 0000 UTC.
<t:1653264000:t>
<t:1653264000:R>
Iโve found the healers donโt do too much as far as staying alive lol. So Iโve been using the lower and slower method to exchange them as well. Then again I havenโt gotten past 10 lmao
21 first try, happy with today!
It was so that they focus the same target to try and kill a couple quickly and the rangers air staff gives attack speed to the nearby units.
Oooo nice Iv not seen the deck yet. But that sounds good ๐
Go earth/granite, bullwark, psion
Il go where the heart of the cards takes me!!
died on 21 first try too lol boo
hahaha GG
ayo i'm waiting any1 knows
hey anybody knows how the Hyper works? I mean, what does it do? as I understand it, in PB1, the illuvial will just get stronger when hyper is activated, is that right?
I believe the plan upon release is that hyper ability will be based on class, i'm not sure though.
understood it exactly the same just boosting some attributes. Also the calculation is still calculated on all illuvials and not on the illuvials they face or are in a certain range am I wrong?
that's how I understand it too, hopefully this can be confirmed @noble radish , or is it confirmed already? idk.
It's already been confirmed how it works and also what is changing. Just wait until next patch.
Thanks. I missed that one. Looking forward for the next patch.
what attribute
sir, it doesnt quite work, my placed in the back line units forward ahead, not stay to fight with those backstabbers lmao
Tanks move forward when the battle starts. You should consider the distance they would walk when you put them in the back. They usually go for the nearest non rogue unit. You should predict your tanks and enemy rogues movement ๐
Why do we have 2 axons in every deck? Is it some kind of bug or is it normal?
so no way to fix it then
Hes saying positioning is key
Game crashed 2 times in a row for me after I reported a bug I'm unable to log in showing me "request finished with response code 1" anyone experiencing the same problem today? Was able to log in after restarting internet
my problem is different ..i can't even log in into the game anymore lol ..it tells me i'm not even in the beta haha
only started playing 2 days ago also kek
Hi guys can someone please help me and tell me what should I do?
Go to system preferences, go to security & privacy and click the padlock
And then?
Then you should be able to allow it
Thanks I just bypass it.
I had to do one extra step which was โAllow apps downloaded from:โ then choose โApp store and identified developersโ then allow play.illuvium.io
Couldn't remember that far, sorry ๐
Appreciate the help @brazen quarry
For me it's working fine now
I had the same issue.. i donโt know how i did it but itโs gone now
What is omega power exactly ?
the ultimate/special skill of the illuvials
So the higher the omega the more damage the ultimate deals ?
If seeforus bugged? I feel like sometimes his ulti just doesnโt cast?
Sometimes he doesn't cast when Rhamphy is just going up or malura is just going underground
On mine it seems to be if heโs attacked while charging aswell
Or maybe itโs when his ulti is going to change target
They target one person as the primary lock, when they die, or goes untargetable, the ability cancels
That makes sense cheers ๐
lost at wave 22, am I improving or just a simple deck today?
Simple deck
I knew it, but you could at least give me some hope... 
no sir, we can't place units behind a rogue landing spot
any core tip to get to wave 20+ sir?
will there be more cards in the deck in the future?
Getting familiar with tanks and damage dealers. Position them in such a way that you get to attack their damage dealers first.
Look for Best entry point: right, left, Center or divide and conquer.
Yet another crash happening. Anyone else having this? Happened twice to me today during gameplay
what's ur favorite build & element sir
I have used double granite double steam double magma, was quite nice
i got this when i tried it on my laptop after 30 Min of playing on high when it happend.have not seen it on my desktop after 50+ hours playing
Need some advice on how to proceed, i did not get beta access even though i think i should have. so i think i have messed up my beta registration, i have tried contacting the community manager but understandably he is busy and not replying. so im wondering if anyone know what route i can take or what i can do at this point as i dont think i will get access at any stage if i have messed up my application
Happy to have made it into top 20 for the first time ๐๐ผ
Wow
Yep, happened to me twice as well unfortunately ๐ฆ
How to change the female fighters loadout?
Shift + right click
Ah, i knew there was a reason i couldnt get past wave 1
Didnโt happen the last few days. First time seeing this actually
Woo congrats! I feel like Iโm always one level back from the leaderboard
hmm, playing with seeforus feels like tossing a coin with all these omega cancels or is it only me? (Counted 5 omega cancels over the last 3 rounds oO)
Worth it
yeah, that is issue i have with that, it is such an high impact ability that a cancel because the focus target dies (seems to work that way) is a little much, or not?
How many are in the Pb now?
Last time I checked about 1750
Noice
got to wave 20 today lets goooo
I really liked the deck of today โค๏ธ
Whatโs an omega cancel?
Yup me too.
I think Aaron have confirmed that some Illuvials will have that โwastedโ omega if their target dies.
Every time I'm on a good run!

i got this on wave 13
we have the same background
Hi how could i enter in the beta?
I was a diamond in tft and want to try some wave ๐
Registration to be a beta tester can be done on the website-- find the link in #๐ใhelpful-links ๐
will survival mode always be that we all got the same deck, or will it after open beta be like that we compete but with our own deck?
GM GM
not sure, but i think we need to have a way to test our deck against AI, but in the same time to play with what the game is giving you for the people who just testing the game and did not what ti spend days on the game to catch them, even if they are for free.
put tithanor and golainet, put them in diferent corners. i manage to get 21 today but noting more ๐ฆ
game is crashing if you play at the time wen new day is coming ๐ experienced yesterday this.
Really depends on the deck. For tank, titanor line is still the best. But any bulwark class is also Good. For damage dealers, depending on availability: scoriox, dualeph, seeforus.
dope psion power
IDK if someone mentioned this, but it seems like a bug that Seeforus omega ability "wifs" whenever his target dies.
Known bug thanks m8
Bug found: If your internet (wifi) goes down. The game freezes for a while then silent crashes. No crash dump.
Should be easy to reproduce and verify.
I was terrible on the previous deck. But I was watching tv and playing competitive (the only way I play)
Hello, I'm curious about the hex stuff in the game.
Is it possible for illuvials to walk directly from hex A to B in one move?
or does it take two?
It would be 2. Thatโs why the units tend to run at diagonals instead of straight forward
ahhhh ok thanks
looks awesome!
Applied today! ๐๐๐ป
Am I tripping or is there not meant to be a 2nd ramphyre today?
Ye i feel like this is pretty much a bug, should find a new target..
Did anybody notice that after playing a lot of the survival mode during the day when you are not playing you think you hear the sound of the survival mode everywhere 
Haha I'm so happy I'm not alone
Soundtrack of our life ๐คฃ
There is a second one in mine even after I place 1 on the deck.
I noticed a bug on mac. you are unable to use the bottom menu bar to sort your illuvials by class or affinity when in fullscreen.
Basically the bottom of the screen is treated as not a part of the screen.
Please make an in-game bug report. Also bug should be discussed in the #976751873447034901 channel
Hello Illuvium Fam!!! I just found out i am ranger! I thought it would take me tons of spams in the discord to have it and be able to apply for PB1 lol
Soooo... how can I apply pleeeeease!?! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Thanks hips!
Itโs easy...just go to the main website and create and account - and find the Beta test tab...fill out ya form click โ sendโ and boom! Sheโs a beauty!
hey is there any discussion about putting a checkpoint at certain waves you reach?
for example, start at wave 6 after playing the first time would just great
They have been talking about that yeah i think
cool
maybe analysing some data and see at what wave 90% of players pass through without trouble. from that on would be a nice checkpoint
I think they said multiple checkpoints, not sure tho
i think it should be just at the beginning
you can reach wave 20 in your first try, and at the second you reach wave 17 because you tried something that doesnt work well
23 minutes until land details ๐
Less than 24 hours until TopGun 2 movie comes out !! ๐๐คฃ
oops I thought this was the IZ channel, anyway
Sorry if this has already been discussed.
I would like a fast forward function to quickly go around waves that has already been cleared once.
Also, the red color of the screen due to alerts is too strong, so I would like to have a setting to reduce the saturation.
its top gun 1 but with unreal engine 5, a F18 skin, some DLC legacy.
I loved it si much
Does a single Enchanter get this innate ability or do you have to get 2 Enchanters to unlock?
1 enchanter will get the innate ability, and the bonuses from Psion and empath stacks.
So 3 psion illuvials means that every 6 seconds he boosts the omega power of your other illuvials by 15% of his max energy.
Yeah I saw that bug!
I raported the bug, but did some of you find a way to not have the second ramphire disapear before we can place it ?
I can t find a way for it to not disapear
that bonus is applied to all my illuvials or only the psion ones ?
Nope ๐ฆ but got to 28 anyway ๐
enchanter innate says: all allies
nice !
still stuck at 22 :/
I had the same line except adoredo instead of malura
will try, I had the same but seephorus instead of malura
