  • 00:00:00
    What's good y'all and welcome to another
  • 00:00:02
    vid. Are you ready for the first ever
  • 00:00:04
    look at Marik's Hall of Illusion at the
  • 00:00:07
    trial keystones? That is exactly what
  • 00:00:09
    we're here to do today. And yeah, for
  • 00:00:12
    that, let's talk a bit about the basics.
  • 00:00:15
    Before we get into the basics, let me
  • 00:00:17
    give you an idea of what you can look
  • 00:00:18
    forward to in this video. So, we'll be
  • 00:00:21
    looking at the loot of all the rarities.
  • 00:00:24
    So, rarity 1 through rarity 4, all the
  • 00:00:27
    different stages from boss stages to
  • 00:00:29
    golden stages to purple to blue stages,
  • 00:00:30
    all the differences in between those.
  • 00:00:32
    The loot, we'll also be taking on a
  • 00:00:34
    stage 4 one. We also be taking on a
  • 00:00:36
    stage four. And then we will have a
  • 00:00:40
    comparison of what you can achieve with
  • 00:00:43
    these materials between this Vukong and
  • 00:00:47
    then the Vukong next to it, which is
  • 00:00:50
    going to get all the resources that you
  • 00:00:52
    can earn. So, all the gems as well as uh
  • 00:00:55
    all the augmentations for the artifact
  • 00:00:57
    to give you an idea of how powerful they
  • 00:01:00
    truly are. Enjoy. So, I did around
  • 00:01:04
    probably like 2,000 runs, maybe like
  • 00:01:09
    2,500. Overall, we
  • 00:01:12
    spent
  • 00:01:14
    may I would say like 20,000 energy and
  • 00:01:18
    we made we managed to fill up the
  • 00:01:20
    capacity.
  • 00:01:22
    So, capacity is full. Um, let's talk a
  • 00:01:26
    bit about drop rates and such. So,
  • 00:01:28
    overall, obviously, the drop rates on
  • 00:01:30
    stage 24 are better than the drop rates
  • 00:01:33
    on stage 21. With stage 21, I noticed it
  • 00:01:37
    took around, you could say. So, I did
  • 00:01:40
    run 321 just to see what the drop rates
  • 00:01:43
    are. I would say it takes around like 75
  • 00:01:46
    to 100 runs to kind of like guarantee a
  • 00:01:51
    map. So, I would put the drop percentage
  • 00:01:53
    at like, I don't know, 1%. Uh, the
  • 00:01:56
    important part here though is you can
  • 00:01:58
    still get trial keystones level
  • 00:02:02
    three like you would get it on 23. The
  • 00:02:06
    only difference is the only level four
  • 00:02:08
    stones come from stage 24, but there's
  • 00:02:12
    also a purpose for that. But yeah, let's
  • 00:02:15
    look at what we have. Let's look at how
  • 00:02:17
    this works and uh let's go over it
  • 00:02:20
    together. So you can see the tier other
  • 00:02:23
    than the color what it is actually
  • 00:02:25
    referring to is the tier. So this is
  • 00:02:29
    one, two and three. These so up to the
  • 00:02:33
    number three at the top all of these can
  • 00:02:35
    be dropped naturally from gear rate um
  • 00:02:40
    21 22 23 whatever you are at. And those
  • 00:02:45
    are what is here called the purple drop.
  • 00:02:47
    It's It's a bit confusing, but um yeah,
  • 00:02:51
    if there's a three at the top, that
  • 00:02:53
    means it's a level three gem. If there's
  • 00:02:55
    a four at the top, that means it's a
  • 00:02:57
    level four gem. You can see we have two
  • 00:02:59
    level four gems, bunch of level threes,
  • 00:03:01
    mostly level uh level twos. So, now what
  • 00:03:05
    about the different colors? The
  • 00:03:06
    different colors are, I would say, you
  • 00:03:10
    you could see it as more difficulty
  • 00:03:13
    within the same tier. So, let's take a
  • 00:03:16
    look at a Mossy Crystal level one. So,
  • 00:03:19
    the way we're going to be doing this is
  • 00:03:21
    we'll be looking at the rewards first,
  • 00:03:23
    and then we'll be playing a couple of
  • 00:03:24
    stages uh just to see how this all
  • 00:03:27
    works. Overall, there is no difference
  • 00:03:30
    uh between Gear 1, Gear 2, or Gearate 3
  • 00:03:33
    with what kind of crystal you're
  • 00:03:34
    getting. It's always a mossy crystal,
  • 00:03:37
    and the target trial is always black
  • 00:03:41
    sewer. though it couldn't be further
  • 00:03:44
    from the truth that if you were to think
  • 00:03:45
    that this is everything. So once let's
  • 00:03:49
    just start with the mossy crystal level
  • 00:03:50
    one. It has one uh you could say debuff
  • 00:03:54
    benefit. You kind of can see it like
  • 00:03:56
    maps in path of exile. So we have
  • 00:03:58
    healing fly airborne healer joins the
  • 00:04:01
    battle after wave two. If we click on
  • 00:04:03
    the information you'll see that wave two
  • 00:04:05
    you have the healing fly and then you
  • 00:04:08
    have to defend exactly five waves. Here
  • 00:04:11
    are the four spawns. You can check out
  • 00:04:14
    what these monsters have. They all have,
  • 00:04:16
    for example, magic rest, defense,
  • 00:04:18
    defense, magic rest. Here, high defense,
  • 00:04:20
    low magic rest,
  • 00:04:23
    50/50, and then the like. You'll have or
  • 00:04:26
    inquisitors, skeleton, giant shielders,
  • 00:04:29
    argent crusaders, and then the healing
  • 00:04:31
    flies. That's kind of like your main
  • 00:04:33
    enemies for this one right here. And the
  • 00:04:34
    healing flies are specific to this
  • 00:04:37
    keystone. So, heals all adjacent uh
  • 00:04:40
    scavenger units. Now, on this black
  • 00:04:43
    sewer trial, which is all the tri, this
  • 00:04:46
    is a level one keystone, and you have
  • 00:04:47
    the ability to get between two to five
  • 00:04:50
    purple chests upon completing it, which
  • 00:04:52
    can net you anything from a stamina
  • 00:04:54
    potion to legendary skill crystal shards
  • 00:04:58
    and also these hammer shards. We
  • 00:05:00
    obviously open a couple of these to see
  • 00:05:02
    what the drop rates are. And here we
  • 00:05:04
    have the first, you could say, drop, and
  • 00:05:06
    that is a
  • 00:05:08
    augmentation gem. Now, what I'm kind of
  • 00:05:11
    curious at the moment is maybe we don't
  • 00:05:13
    have to play as many maps to see some
  • 00:05:16
    drops. Okay, perfect. So, we have we
  • 00:05:20
    have enough of the gems, so we're not
  • 00:05:22
    bound to the uh us clearing a whole lot
  • 00:05:26
    of maps to get the resources, but we are
  • 00:05:28
    going to be doing one map of each tier.
  • 00:05:31
    So, this was a one a tier one green map.
  • 00:05:36
    Now, let's go to a tier one. We sadly
  • 00:05:38
    don't have a blue one, but let's go to a
  • 00:05:40
    tier one purple map. Straight up, what
  • 00:05:42
    you're going to notice is this is
  • 00:05:44
    440,000 BP. This is 532,000 BP.
  • 00:05:49
    Furthermore, these maps are all
  • 00:05:51
    different between each other. And the
  • 00:05:54
    biggest differentiator as you can see
  • 00:05:55
    right here, it is a boss stage or better
  • 00:05:58
    said the black sewer stage contains a
  • 00:06:01
    boss. And then we have Uralda, the
  • 00:06:04
    scorch, devour, and a triple Elder. You
  • 00:06:07
    can also see the BP. Here you have
  • 00:06:10
    532,000 through all of them. Here you
  • 00:06:12
    have 552,000.
  • 00:06:14
    The golden guard joins the battle after
  • 00:06:16
    wave two and reduces allies attack speed
  • 00:06:18
    by 50 or spawn storm walker gilded
  • 00:06:22
    warden suicide self-destruct joins the
  • 00:06:24
    battle after wave two. So if we now take
  • 00:06:26
    a look at these moss at this mossy
  • 00:06:28
    crystal you'll see that it is the same
  • 00:06:30
    thing. We have 1 2 3 four five six waves
  • 00:06:35
    actually. And also starting from wave
  • 00:06:38
    four we get the lost spirit as our
  • 00:06:41
    enemy. Errola has the ability um to
  • 00:06:44
    raise your stuff generating cur power
  • 00:06:46
    within its massive AOE damage. So uh for
  • 00:06:49
    example it would bring something like an
  • 00:06:51
    AoE damage reducer. Once again you have
  • 00:06:54
    kind of the same units and then these
  • 00:06:56
    golden guards as stated in the map are
  • 00:06:58
    going to be joining. You can see they
  • 00:06:59
    have an incredibly high amount of
  • 00:07:01
    attack. These are the guys from Gear Ray
  • 00:07:03
    2 that just run into your defenders,
  • 00:07:06
    lose 80% their HP and then uh the next
  • 00:07:09
    time they run in they die. So this is um
  • 00:07:12
    a purple stone. Now next to the purple
  • 00:07:15
    stone you have a even higher difficulty
  • 00:07:18
    within the same rarity class or within
  • 00:07:21
    the same tier and that is a gold
  • 00:07:23
    crystal. You can see again 592,000
  • 00:07:25
    versus
  • 00:07:26
    632,000. We also have two different
  • 00:07:28
    bosses. We have baron and we have the
  • 00:07:31
    scorch devourer. Furthermore, you can
  • 00:07:33
    also see right here reduces allies block
  • 00:07:35
    by one. Orit Inquisitor first three
  • 00:07:38
    instances of damage that I increased by
  • 00:07:40
    200% and the scorched devour created
  • 00:07:42
    trail of flames. So overall it's a lot
  • 00:07:45
    of randomness. It's a lot of extra
  • 00:07:46
    stuff. What we did forget on the note of
  • 00:07:49
    stuff is for this golden map. It is
  • 00:07:52
    still tier one. And you can see we have
  • 00:07:54
    up to seven chests of the ones we saw
  • 00:07:56
    before. Then again up to seven chests of
  • 00:08:00
    these. We also saw those before. But now
  • 00:08:02
    we also have the mythic chest. The
  • 00:08:04
    mythic chest has the chance to include
  • 00:08:05
    an evolution gem which allows you to
  • 00:08:07
    take a tier one gear to a random tier
  • 00:08:09
    two or tier three set from the same
  • 00:08:11
    category. So support set to support,
  • 00:08:14
    tank set to tank, damage set to damage
  • 00:08:17
    set. So that's the way this works. Here
  • 00:08:19
    you see a couple of the rewards and once
  • 00:08:21
    again keep in mind this is from the
  • 00:08:23
    lowest map from the lowest tier of maps.
  • 00:08:26
    And then we have the highest step up and
  • 00:08:29
    that is a tier one boss map. So, let's
  • 00:08:32
    just pick the most difficult. Why not?
  • 00:08:34
    We have the Scotch devour spawns.
  • 00:08:37
    Batwings Banshee with the airborne and
  • 00:08:39
    poison at positions three and four.
  • 00:08:41
    Reduces all rag poison reduces targets
  • 00:08:44
    attack speed and every 15 seconds scorch
  • 00:08:46
    destroyer gain 20% attack. So, we have
  • 00:08:50
    the scorch destroyer who joins us at
  • 00:08:53
    wave three. This guy is um this atrox
  • 00:08:56
    dude. So, overall it's kind of like a
  • 00:08:58
    mix of a whole lot of enemies that we
  • 00:09:00
    know from the story. the same with the
  • 00:09:01
    bosses. Uh they might have a certain
  • 00:09:03
    different skills. They also have
  • 00:09:04
    different interactions. Overall, it's
  • 00:09:06
    it's super fun. Honestly, it's a super
  • 00:09:09
    fun game mode, I would say. Once again,
  • 00:09:12
    same thing, but another wave. So, we
  • 00:09:15
    went from five waves to six waves to
  • 00:09:17
    seven waves to eight waves. Still same
  • 00:09:19
    layout. You have these four monster
  • 00:09:20
    portals, and then you have two portals
  • 00:09:23
    to defend with three platforms and then
  • 00:09:25
    the rest of units maybe four platforms.
  • 00:09:28
    We we'll have to see towards the end.
  • 00:09:30
    So, this was tier one with the best
  • 00:09:32
    rewards again being the same chest but
  • 00:09:35
    more stuff in it, which is what you're
  • 00:09:36
    going to notice. So, we have a chest.
  • 00:09:38
    You can also see that something was
  • 00:09:40
    removed here. We have up to 10 chests
  • 00:09:42
    again with the augmentation gem. And now
  • 00:09:44
    for the best chest, we still only have a
  • 00:09:46
    chance at an evolution gem and
  • 00:09:48
    augmentation gem, but it is one to
  • 00:09:50
    three. And it is one to three chests.
  • 00:09:54
    So, now let's move on to tier
  • 00:09:56
    two. Same scenario, same thing. Let's
  • 00:09:59
    just quickly go through the rewards. So,
  • 00:10:01
    here we have two to five chests and then
  • 00:10:04
    0 to three chests. Once again, you're
  • 00:10:06
    going to be able to notice these
  • 00:10:08
    rewards. Though, what you are also able
  • 00:10:10
    to see is evolution gems and these
  • 00:10:13
    augmentation gems are already in the
  • 00:10:15
    golden chest for tier 2. And this was
  • 00:10:17
    the worst tier 2 map. So, now let's go
  • 00:10:19
    to the slightly better one. Then, once
  • 00:10:22
    again, 1 to five and 0 to four with also
  • 00:10:25
    higher drop rates. Also, the chests do
  • 00:10:28
    vary a bit between the difficulty of the
  • 00:10:30
    stages, but overall it stays in around
  • 00:10:32
    the same margin. Then again, we have the
  • 00:10:35
    same chest. We have the option to get
  • 00:10:37
    ourselves the evolution gems. And then
  • 00:10:39
    lastly, right here already on tier two.
  • 00:10:41
    Tier two, something you can easily still
  • 00:10:43
    get from gear rate 21s, we have a new
  • 00:10:46
    type of gem added, which is the darkfall
  • 00:10:49
    gem, which allows us to enhance the
  • 00:10:51
    primary attribute of mythic or higher
  • 00:10:53
    rarity gear by between 2 to 6%. We'll
  • 00:10:56
    obviously see if that's the maximum and
  • 00:10:57
    all that stuff. And then we have
  • 00:10:59
    augmentation gems and also advanced
  • 00:11:01
    augmentation gems as jobs who have the
  • 00:11:04
    ability to massively or they say greatly
  • 00:11:07
    enhance the artifacts attribute. So we
  • 00:11:09
    are now currently only missing two
  • 00:11:11
    resources, two different gems and we're
  • 00:11:13
    missing only one augmentation and we are
  • 00:11:15
    barely through with the tier twos. So
  • 00:11:19
    let's take a look at the golden one. You
  • 00:11:21
    can already see uh even though we're
  • 00:11:23
    still in tier two, we have
  • 00:11:25
    740,000 BP. So yeah, you can see kind of
  • 00:11:29
    same rewards obviously more chests, more
  • 00:11:32
    chances. Then let's take a look at the
  • 00:11:34
    final one, which is a tier 2 red map.
  • 00:11:37
    Tier 2 red map, 0 to eight chests, 11 uh
  • 00:11:40
    one to 10 chests, and then one to three
  • 00:11:42
    chests. Same drops chance at two
  • 00:11:44
    darkfall gems. Uh you get it. And then
  • 00:11:48
    let's go to tier three. So tier three,
  • 00:11:50
    we don't have a lot of options to show
  • 00:11:52
    you, but we have the 6 to 10. So the
  • 00:11:55
    minimum reward from a tier three map is
  • 00:11:58
    a emperion trove, which you have a
  • 00:12:01
    chance to get a evolution gem from, as
  • 00:12:04
    well as also this augmentation gem,
  • 00:12:06
    summons, all that stuff. Six to 10, so
  • 00:12:09
    you're guaranteed to get six. And then
  • 00:12:10
    for the three, once again, here we have
  • 00:12:13
    these resources with the darkfall gem
  • 00:12:15
    and the evolution gem. Obviously, the
  • 00:12:18
    rewards would increase to a blue map and
  • 00:12:20
    then to a purple map, but we don't have
  • 00:12:22
    an example for it. We do have an example
  • 00:12:24
    of a red map for tier three, which
  • 00:12:27
    includes nine guaranteed chest up to 16
  • 00:12:30
    with these drops. Then 9 to 17. Same
  • 00:12:34
    stuff right here. And now for the final
  • 00:12:36
    chest. Boom. There you go. We have
  • 00:12:39
    another gem gem in which is the
  • 00:12:41
    guaranteed variant gem, allowing you to
  • 00:12:44
    add a variant to an ancient gear.
  • 00:12:46
    meaning we're only missing a single gem.
  • 00:12:49
    And then right here with the runic
  • 00:12:51
    augmentation, you can increase or better
  • 00:12:54
    said add a hidden stat to an artifact.
  • 00:12:56
    So something like for example between 6
  • 00:12:58
    and 15% increased attack. So this is how
  • 00:13:03
    this all works. Let's give one last one
  • 00:13:06
    a chance and that is the tier four map.
  • 00:13:09
    So tier four map 7 to 12 guaranteed this
  • 00:13:12
    is chest one. 6 to 12 guaranteed this is
  • 00:13:15
    chest two. You might remember it from
  • 00:13:17
    tier three. And then for the final
  • 00:13:19
    chest, we have the last source, which is
  • 00:13:21
    the transmutation gem. The transmutation
  • 00:13:24
    gem is the one that allows you to change
  • 00:13:26
    a secondary attribute to a different one
  • 00:13:29
    of the same role. So if you have like a
  • 00:13:31
    red roll on a piece, you could change it
  • 00:13:33
    to a different stat. Then again, also a
  • 00:13:36
    couple more of every other resource. But
  • 00:13:38
    overall, uh I would say it's a pretty
  • 00:13:41
    fair split. And it doesn't seem like
  • 00:13:43
    tier 4 is all that necessary at the end
  • 00:13:46
    of the day. We can take a look at the
  • 00:13:48
    normal map. You'll see that if you get a
  • 00:13:50
    normal tier four map, you're still
  • 00:13:52
    missing out on, for example, the
  • 00:13:53
    transmutation gem. So, I like the split.
  • 00:13:56
    Honestly, the transmutation gem makes
  • 00:13:57
    sense for it to be the latest one. Um,
  • 00:14:00
    and I'm kind of happy with us getting
  • 00:14:03
    these resources, the important ones, so
  • 00:14:06
    early.
  • 00:14:08
    So, now that we got this out of the way,
  • 00:14:10
    let's just uh yeah, start a red tier one
  • 00:14:15
    map to kind of get a layer the land and
  • 00:14:18
    then we'll um I think yeah, we we'll do
  • 00:14:20
    one tier one map, we'll do a tier four
  • 00:14:22
    map, and then we'll jump to a couple
  • 00:14:24
    enhancements to see a bit of the chances
  • 00:14:26
    and uh then we'll make a follow-up
  • 00:14:29
    tomorrow. So, let's uh go into this
  • 00:14:33
    right here. So once the battle begins,
  • 00:14:35
    it cannot be restarted. Exiting mid
  • 00:14:36
    battle will trigger immediate settlement
  • 00:14:38
    and the tri keystone will not be
  • 00:14:40
    returned. So you have to really read
  • 00:14:42
    through what happens here. So I mean I
  • 00:14:45
    guess we might as well do so. In the
  • 00:14:46
    first wave we are faced with mostly
  • 00:14:50
    defense resistant enemies and then a
  • 00:14:52
    double that pretty much has everything
  • 00:14:54
    again defense resistance. So magic
  • 00:14:56
    damage looks heavily favored right here.
  • 00:14:59
    Once again same thing then we get Baron.
  • 00:15:03
    again 50/50 these Ori inspectors and all
  • 00:15:06
    these guys with immune to CC. Um yeah,
  • 00:15:11
    looks like we really want to bring some
  • 00:15:13
    magic damage. So let's hit okay. We are
  • 00:15:16
    in the black sewer and let's just put
  • 00:15:19
    together a somewhat realistic
  • 00:15:24
    team. All right, so we bit us a pretty
  • 00:15:27
    decent team with a lot of magic damage.
  • 00:15:30
    You can see we have pretty much just
  • 00:15:31
    magic damage, but nobody seems to be
  • 00:15:33
    magic resistant. So, we're bringing
  • 00:15:35
    curse, we're bringing aoterosis just to
  • 00:15:37
    kind of prepare for it all. We got
  • 00:15:39
    ourselves two tanks, two healers, a
  • 00:15:43
    inspiration unit, uh, and then like four
  • 00:15:46
    DPS as well as also double epic lot. We
  • 00:15:50
    are also bringing the brand new hero
  • 00:15:53
    Nerissa for a first test spin just to
  • 00:15:56
    see what she can do. And yeah. Okay. Um,
  • 00:16:01
    167 enemies. This might just be what
  • 00:16:04
    we've been asking for. Proper AoE
  • 00:16:08
    content. Okay. Um, Beasel Boozel can
  • 00:16:13
    reach all the way over
  • 00:16:16
    there. How do we do this? Or how do we
  • 00:16:20
    even start? I mean, I guess we start
  • 00:16:22
    with a tank. You
  • 00:16:25
    can never really go wrong with a tank.
  • 00:16:28
    And just in case, we're putting um her
  • 00:16:31
    one tile up and also putting down Biboop
  • 00:16:35
    already
  • 00:16:37
    uh to help with some
  • 00:16:41
    healing. Uh so yeah, I don't I don't
  • 00:16:43
    expect us to have like a great amount of
  • 00:16:46
    difficulty. I would be very surprised if
  • 00:16:48
    we do. And uh it looks like there's only
  • 00:16:51
    three platform tiles. So ground heroes
  • 00:16:54
    might just very well get a big boost in
  • 00:16:57
    value um because there really just isn't
  • 00:17:01
    all that many tiles to place units on.
  • 00:17:04
    So yeah, let's see how this goes. Uh we
  • 00:17:08
    kind of maybe [ __ ] up over
  • 00:17:12
    here because we don't have a healer for
  • 00:17:15
    Brockia cuz V. I mean, I guess we can
  • 00:17:17
    just take out
  • 00:17:19
    Vanna and then go like this. Uh, yeah,
  • 00:17:23
    let's move myself out of the way. So, we
  • 00:17:24
    have the H. Yeah, at position one spawn
  • 00:17:28
    that do AOE damage reduction, join
  • 00:17:30
    better, second wave, increase max HP.
  • 00:17:33
    Um, but yeah, I'm I'm I'm quite
  • 00:17:35
    confident in this formation. And also
  • 00:17:37
    what you can notice is another jab
  • 00:17:40
    towards platform units and that is we
  • 00:17:44
    can deploy everyone right we can deploy
  • 00:17:49
    everyone but obviously we can't deploy
  • 00:17:52
    everyone cuz there's no space. So if you
  • 00:17:55
    are bringing a platform unit it looks
  • 00:17:57
    like it's quite important for you to
  • 00:18:01
    make sure that they bring a lot to the
  • 00:18:03
    table.
  • 00:18:04
    Um, yeah. Uh, I think I think we just
  • 00:18:08
    killed killed the boss. You can also Oh,
  • 00:18:11
    I'm kind of hiding it, man. There's so
  • 00:18:13
    much going on right here. Where where do
  • 00:18:15
    I go? Let's make ourselves smaller and
  • 00:18:18
    go over here. You can see this is the
  • 00:18:20
    revolt. So, we have a purple chest. We
  • 00:18:22
    have two of the golden ones. Uh, there's
  • 00:18:24
    one of these guys. So, obviously,
  • 00:18:26
    depending on how much you struggle,
  • 00:18:27
    these stages might or might not prove
  • 00:18:29
    difficult. You might or might not have
  • 00:18:31
    to read up on it. Um, the main part I
  • 00:18:34
    wanted to make is at the end of the day,
  • 00:18:36
    if you are getting the level four
  • 00:18:39
    stones, then those should pose a
  • 00:18:41
    challenge. So, let's say the TW level
  • 00:18:44
    four stones were available earlier, you
  • 00:18:46
    probably wouldn't be able to make use of
  • 00:18:47
    them anyway. They should require a level
  • 00:18:51
    around what it takes to be the stage 24
  • 00:18:55
    to complete if everything uh were to be
  • 00:18:59
    in
  • 00:19:00
    order. So, we can actually leak 10
  • 00:19:03
    units. We don't want to do
  • 00:19:05
    that. Uh, we didn't even have the boss
  • 00:19:08
    yet, so that was just normal units,
  • 00:19:10
    these big
  • 00:19:12
    guys. Our team seems to be holding up
  • 00:19:15
    quite well. We're getting Baron in here.
  • 00:19:18
    Uh, keep in mind this is the lowest of
  • 00:19:20
    stages. Okay, it is it is a boss stage,
  • 00:19:22
    but it is tier one, right? We're looking
  • 00:19:25
    at tier one. Uh, also we are only 56 out
  • 00:19:30
    of 167. And you can see at the top left
  • 00:19:33
    right there, we have a next wave
  • 00:19:36
    counter. So overall, I still think this
  • 00:19:39
    game mode is super
  • 00:19:42
    awesome. Yeah, it might be a bit rude to
  • 00:19:44
    get myself something to drink right
  • 00:19:45
    here, but I'm decently confident that we
  • 00:19:48
    can just observe what's going on. Yeah,
  • 00:19:51
    I don't know. I'm super happy with this
  • 00:19:52
    mode. It seems like it just brings a lot
  • 00:19:56
    of change, a lot of different stages,
  • 00:19:58
    maybe even a lot of unexpected
  • 00:20:01
    challenges to your account. And it seems
  • 00:20:04
    like a lot of heroes might find a place
  • 00:20:09
    here to be useful. Obvious big brainers
  • 00:20:13
    are Wukong and Kiri. You can never go
  • 00:20:16
    wrong with Wukong and Kiri anyway.
  • 00:20:20
    So,
  • 00:20:21
    uh, yeah, we got to we got to see how
  • 00:20:24
    this how this all turns out. For the
  • 00:20:26
    moment, we did clear all the waves.
  • 00:20:29
    Depending on how high your damage is,
  • 00:20:30
    maybe the boss is still active by the
  • 00:20:32
    time this happens.
  • 00:20:35
    But yeah, maybe not every wave is as
  • 00:20:39
    spammy as this, but considering that
  • 00:20:41
    there's 167 enemies, I would argue that
  • 00:20:46
    uh AoE damage
  • 00:20:49
    is pretty important, right? Especially
  • 00:20:53
    on that one stage that we rolled where,
  • 00:20:56
    for example, the block gets reduced by
  • 00:20:57
    one that you would like to bring uh high
  • 00:21:00
    block tanks so that you letly uh people
  • 00:21:04
    through. And overall, yeah, you you're
  • 00:21:07
    going to try everything you can uh to
  • 00:21:10
    make it through this unharmed. Let's
  • 00:21:12
    see. Okay, this is getting kind of
  • 00:21:14
    close, but there's also not much we can
  • 00:21:16
    do because we brought too many ground
  • 00:21:18
    units. Uh, we brought too many platform
  • 00:21:20
    units, not enough ground
  • 00:21:23
    units. Makes one wonder how do you best
  • 00:21:28
    do this? I mean, Dao Chan in the middle
  • 00:21:31
    here seems quite obvious. So, you have
  • 00:21:33
    the inspiration on all the on all the
  • 00:21:36
    ground tiles and also the potential
  • 00:21:38
    damage reduction and the healing if you
  • 00:21:40
    need
  • 00:21:41
    it. I mean, be seems fine. Even Dolores,
  • 00:21:46
    Dolores, her positioning would be quite
  • 00:21:48
    awkward. But I guess if you look at the
  • 00:21:50
    ground tiles, there's so much space to
  • 00:21:52
    place your units. So there wouldn't be
  • 00:21:54
    any difficulty in placing them here or
  • 00:21:56
    even here and then just having them face
  • 00:21:58
    downwards, moving the tank one tile
  • 00:22:01
    back. So there should be a lot of
  • 00:22:03
    variance, a lot of things that could be
  • 00:22:04
    done right
  • 00:22:06
    there. And we probably have to take a
  • 00:22:09
    different look at our team. uh change a
  • 00:22:12
    couple things in prepare uh in
  • 00:22:14
    preparation for our tier 4 attempt
  • 00:22:17
    before we then go into the specifics of
  • 00:22:19
    what these gems even do. Uh and then
  • 00:22:22
    obviously you get more of an idea uh at
  • 00:22:25
    a later date because there's so much
  • 00:22:27
    going on today. There's so much going on
  • 00:22:29
    with this mode. Uh getting or giving you
  • 00:22:32
    a comprehensive review of how this all
  • 00:22:35
    works is going to take quite a while.
  • 00:22:39
    But hey, we did get a red chest out of
  • 00:22:42
    our tier one boss dungeon run. Um, I
  • 00:22:46
    think that's quite
  • 00:22:47
    nice. We were able to deal with
  • 00:22:50
    everyone. I don't know. I feel like
  • 00:22:52
    something something like, you know, you
  • 00:22:54
    go like Aerys and Magda,
  • 00:22:57
    ASA, you got like full AoE ground units
  • 00:23:00
    seems to be pretty damn strong. So,
  • 00:23:04
    ground units for the win, I guess.
  • 00:23:07
    M because healers are most of the time
  • 00:23:10
    then going to be ending up as platform
  • 00:23:12
    units. Okay, open all chests. Here we
  • 00:23:15
    go. We got ourselves as a
  • 00:23:19
    reward three augmentation gems. uh 90
  • 00:23:25
    120 180 200% uh 200,000 gold, two
  • 00:23:30
    shards, seven crystals or like this is
  • 00:23:34
    this is around the fourth of a of a
  • 00:23:36
    legendary skill shard and then also some
  • 00:23:38
    psychic
  • 00:23:39
    power. What I find interesting and what
  • 00:23:42
    might be nice of the deaths to do is put
  • 00:23:45
    legendary skill dust as a drop in these.
  • 00:23:50
    This might be a good idea of a nonto
  • 00:23:54
    powerful
  • 00:23:55
    drop. Uh, we might we might get [ __ ] on
  • 00:23:59
    because this is a million BP.
  • 00:24:06
    Um, yeah. I mean, it's it's going to be
  • 00:24:10
    fine. It's going to be fine. All right.
  • 00:24:13
    Time for Black Sea stage four.
  • 00:24:17
    Uh, purple version. Not the boss. not
  • 00:24:20
    the real like super crazy boss version.
  • 00:24:23
    So, not the hardest thing you can get.
  • 00:24:25
    Still, you see there's the same amount
  • 00:24:27
    of placement. You have the same amount
  • 00:24:28
    of platform tights and then a lot of
  • 00:24:30
    ground tiles. Uh what we did is we made
  • 00:24:33
    a couple changes. We brought a couple
  • 00:24:34
    more units in hopes of this going uh
  • 00:24:39
    better. And yeah, let's uh let's see how
  • 00:24:43
    our team is going to
  • 00:24:46
    do. Uh, let's this time just reverse the
  • 00:24:49
    placement order. No particular
  • 00:24:55
    reason. Yeah, I don't know. Ground
  • 00:24:58
    ground AoE uh seems to be the way to go.
  • 00:25:02
    Something that I did kind of fail to do
  • 00:25:05
    here is bring in another and we cannot
  • 00:25:09
    quit. O
  • 00:25:12
    uh yeah,
  • 00:25:14
    obviously this is probably not I mean
  • 00:25:17
    maybe it's going to work. Maybe we can
  • 00:25:19
    just fully tank this by
  • 00:25:23
    just going double tank and then a
  • 00:25:28
    uh a single DPS behind. This might just
  • 00:25:32
    work. Honestly, it's hard to
  • 00:25:35
    say. And yeah. Oh, we have a limitation
  • 00:25:38
    to the amount of units we can place.
  • 00:25:43
    Interesting.
  • 00:25:45
    Um, wait, what the Oh, no. It was just
  • 00:25:48
    him triggering the I thought he went
  • 00:25:51
    invulnerable. Ah, yeah, the AoE damage.
  • 00:25:54
    The AoE damage from the guy. I remember
  • 00:25:59
    now. Also, it's only 118 enemies this
  • 00:26:02
    time, not 167.
  • 00:26:06
    Um, yeah, maybe maybe this will all end
  • 00:26:09
    up being
  • 00:26:17
    fine. Okay, this already gives us an
  • 00:26:21
    idea of some of the problems that might
  • 00:26:23
    just happen, and that is these exploder
  • 00:26:26
    guys pretty much
  • 00:26:28
    singlehandedly beat the [ __ ] out of us.
  • 00:26:31
    There we go. Stage lost, job done. Stage
  • 00:26:34
    four, game over. So, uh, let's let's
  • 00:26:38
    open the rewards. Hey, we still did get
  • 00:26:41
    a Darkfall
  • 00:26:42
    gem. So, yes, we are going to do more
  • 00:26:45
    stages. Yes, we're going to do uh guides
  • 00:26:48
    for all the bosses, etc. All the drops,
  • 00:26:51
    all that good stuff. Just not today
  • 00:26:54
    right here. All right. Yeah. So, now for
  • 00:26:56
    the part you've probably all been
  • 00:26:58
    waiting for, and that is how good do
  • 00:27:00
    these gems actually make a character?
  • 00:27:02
    what kind of difference does it actually
  • 00:27:04
    make? And for that, we're going to be
  • 00:27:06
    having a look at a Vukong as well as an
  • 00:27:09
    equivalent Vukong. Both Vukongs are A5.
  • 00:27:11
    Both have the equ the exclusive artifact
  • 00:27:14
    at 25. And the stats are the following.
  • 00:27:17
    21 5 HP. Uh so we're just talking about
  • 00:27:19
    the plus numbers, right? Because the
  • 00:27:21
    base stats are the same. plus 21500 + 16
  • 00:27:24
    300 plus 250 and plus 187 versus
  • 00:27:29
    215600 260 and 187. So it's an attack
  • 00:27:33
    speed difference of 15, an attack
  • 00:27:35
    difference of 300 and an HP difference
  • 00:27:37
    of 74. So, we're going to be taking the,
  • 00:27:41
    you could say, weaker version, this
  • 00:27:43
    Wukong, and we're going to go piece for
  • 00:27:46
    piece and see how we can enhance these
  • 00:27:48
    pieces to make this Wukong stronger than
  • 00:27:52
    the Vukong before. So, let's just go
  • 00:27:56
    straight into it. We have a lot of
  • 00:27:58
    options right here. We could transmute a
  • 00:28:01
    stat, but we're going to keep the HP the
  • 00:28:02
    same. We we could um make it a variant
  • 00:28:06
    piece, and we can also enhance the
  • 00:28:08
    primary attribute. So, let's start with
  • 00:28:10
    the variant. We're going to turn the
  • 00:28:11
    weapon into a variant weapon. Crit
  • 00:28:14
    damage plus 2%, crit rate plus 2%.
  • 00:28:18
    Obviously, there's some RNG here. And
  • 00:28:20
    then, and now for this one, this
  • 00:28:21
    interest interests me greatly. What is
  • 00:28:23
    the max? So, you can kind of see that uh
  • 00:28:26
    you can get between 20 to 85 and then
  • 00:28:28
    100 to 360 1 to 5% uh depending on what
  • 00:28:33
    kind of gear it is. So, let's see. We
  • 00:28:35
    have 1,56. How high can this go? And
  • 00:28:39
    what do we get on our first one? So now
  • 00:28:40
    we have plus 30, giving us 156 plus 30.
  • 00:28:46
    If we now roll it again, we're up to
  • 00:28:48
    plus 50. If we do it another time, we
  • 00:28:51
    would go down to plus 35, which doesn't
  • 00:28:53
    seem to happen. So overall, this isn't
  • 00:28:57
    the biggest increase to power ever. Uh
  • 00:29:01
    definitely the the weapon and the chest
  • 00:29:03
    piece with the flat sets are getting off
  • 00:29:06
    worse right
  • 00:29:08
    here. Worse right here, no doubt. So
  • 00:29:12
    let's see. So it's between it's between
  • 00:29:14
    like the again the 50% roads over here.
  • 00:29:17
    We've done around 10 of these gems. The
  • 00:29:19
    best draw we got was 50. Here we have a
  • 00:29:23
    40. Then a
  • 00:29:27
    45. Another 45. Let's see. Can we can we
  • 00:29:30
    get over 50 ones? Maybe
  • 00:29:33
    please. 20
  • 00:29:36
    if 45
  • 00:29:40
    if
  • 00:29:43
    25
  • 00:29:47
    30. Okay, we keep it at 50. Honestly, we
  • 00:29:50
    keep it at 50. Transmutation gem. We
  • 00:29:53
    would now be able to transmute the uh
  • 00:29:56
    crit rate into something else if we so
  • 00:29:58
    desired. We're going to keep it the same
  • 00:30:00
    for the moment. We could also refine the
  • 00:30:02
    crit rate attribute, but overall we have
  • 00:30:04
    a single gain in the variant piece and
  • 00:30:07
    we also now have plus
  • 00:30:09
    50. Now, next up right here, we can
  • 00:30:12
    again use a dark for gem to give us a
  • 00:30:15
    bonus. 180 is pretty much bang in the
  • 00:30:18
    middle. So, we're just going to keep it
  • 00:30:20
    at 180. Obviously, it's not crazy, but
  • 00:30:22
    also there's not a lot you can do with a
  • 00:30:24
    piece like this because you can see all
  • 00:30:25
    of these are kind of grayed out. Uh, we
  • 00:30:29
    could technically do something funky
  • 00:30:30
    like take a calamity piece right here. A
  • 00:30:34
    calamity piece that is similar
  • 00:30:39
    enough. Let's see. Do we have a calamity
  • 00:30:41
    piece with
  • 00:30:43
    HP? Not a good one. But for example, you
  • 00:30:47
    could take this piece, go to gem
  • 00:30:48
    enhancement, go to the evolution,
  • 00:30:51
    randomly evolve it, and bada bing, bada
  • 00:30:53
    boom, we now have a ancient wicked
  • 00:30:55
    vengeance instead of our calamity. Or
  • 00:30:58
    you could go the natural path and just
  • 00:31:00
    upgrade it into warlord. Uh, interesting
  • 00:31:02
    enough here, obviously optionwise, there
  • 00:31:05
    isn't all that many chain uh that many
  • 00:31:09
    things it could roll into. So, uh, you
  • 00:31:12
    can see it's going to be 50/50 between
  • 00:31:14
    Warlord and Wicked Vengeance, where I
  • 00:31:16
    would always take the bet in hopes of it
  • 00:31:19
    becoming Vicked Vengeance, even though
  • 00:31:21
    Vicked Vengeance obviously has the uh,
  • 00:31:23
    stat roll advantage, huh, you could say.
  • 00:31:27
    But yeah, overall, we have our gear the
  • 00:31:29
    same right here. Technically, we could
  • 00:31:32
    change it to Warlock because we used the
  • 00:31:33
    transportation gems, but we're going to
  • 00:31:34
    keep it the same for now. For now, no
  • 00:31:37
    big changes. Now, let's start with the
  • 00:31:39
    very fierce first piece right here,
  • 00:31:40
    which is the soulborn arcana banger,
  • 00:31:43
    where we can use a darkfall gem to give
  • 00:31:46
    us between a one and a 5% attack
  • 00:31:49
    increase. So, here we're going to be
  • 00:31:51
    rolling at two. Let's let's aim for like
  • 00:31:53
    at minimum like 2.5. Uh, so this is a
  • 00:31:56
    two
  • 00:32:00
    1.1 1.8
  • 00:32:03
    8
  • 00:32:06
    1.1 O 3.1 good enough for me. Then we
  • 00:32:10
    can turn this whole thing into a
  • 00:32:12
    variant. Increases the damage dealt to
  • 00:32:14
    enemies inflicted with slow by 4%.
  • 00:32:18
    Obviously not a big change. And then I
  • 00:32:20
    guess here just
  • 00:32:22
    uh to keep it interesting, we could uh
  • 00:32:25
    confirm to select this attribute. You
  • 00:32:27
    won't be able to refine / transansmute.
  • 00:32:29
    We can for example now change a HP bonus
  • 00:32:33
    into I guess defense flat. The fact that
  • 00:32:36
    this is random is a bit varying I got to
  • 00:32:39
    say, but um yeah. So HP and HP flat.
  • 00:32:44
    Obviously weird. Uh the only thing that
  • 00:32:46
    would benefit us is either rage region
  • 00:32:48
    or attack flat. So, let's see how long
  • 00:32:50
    it takes us to get there because we're
  • 00:32:52
    going to have a higher HP base just from
  • 00:32:55
    the other upgrades, which means we can
  • 00:32:57
    afford, for example, uh, swapping a
  • 00:32:59
    piece like this. Obviously, there's
  • 00:33:00
    better pieces to swap, but this is more
  • 00:33:02
    like symbolic. So, here we go. We now
  • 00:33:04
    have a full foret, got piece, if you
  • 00:33:08
    want to call it that. Now, onto the next
  • 00:33:11
    one. Gem enhancement. Darkfall
  • 00:33:13
    enhancement. Once again, 1 to 5%.
  • 00:33:16
    1.1% obviously isn't going to do a whole
  • 00:33:19
    lot.
  • 00:33:21
    1.6%
  • 00:33:25
    1.5
  • 00:33:28
    1.1
  • 00:33:31
    1.3
  • 00:33:35
    1.7
  • 00:33:36
    3.1%. There we go. So, we increased our
  • 00:33:39
    damage bonus by
  • 00:33:42
    half, two and a half%, right? If if yeah
  • 00:33:48
    66 6% would be 6.6 would be 10. So it's
  • 00:33:52
    it's around a 5% attack increase. I mean
  • 00:33:55
    it's it's a 3%. You get what I mean in
  • 00:33:58
    comparison to the main stat right here.
  • 00:33:59
    We could transmute crit damage. Dumb
  • 00:34:01
    idea. Not going to do that. And then
  • 00:34:04
    here we have the crit damage piece where
  • 00:34:07
    we again can go from 2 to 6%. We're
  • 00:34:09
    rolling a 2.4. We're kind of hoping for
  • 00:34:12
    anything around a three.
  • 00:34:16
    Let's see.
  • 00:34:19
    2.1
  • 00:34:21
    6 3. There we go. We're just going to
  • 00:34:24
    keep it at three. Now we have some extra
  • 00:34:27
    increase. And this this should be the
  • 00:34:30
    biggest one. And let's let's work our
  • 00:34:34
    way through it slowly is what I would
  • 00:34:36
    like to say. But you should always roll
  • 00:34:38
    the random attribute first. So this is a
  • 00:34:42
    3%. Oh, it always only upgrades
  • 00:34:46
    the
  • 00:34:48
    Aha.
  • 00:34:49
    Aha. Uhhuh. That's not great. Okay, then
  • 00:34:54
    uh let's start with a common
  • 00:34:56
    augmentation. Random plus
  • 00:34:59
    115. Random plus
  • 00:35:02
    480.
  • 00:35:03
    Random just 80. So, it looks like 480 is
  • 00:35:07
    the max roll here, while 1600 is the max
  • 00:35:09
    ro here. Uh, let's see if we can get
  • 00:35:12
    closer to that max roll. So, stays the
  • 00:35:15
    same. Just
  • 00:35:17
    120.
  • 00:35:20
    200 down to
  • 00:35:22
    60. Yikes.
  • 00:35:26
    205. 130. Hey,
  • 00:35:30
    650. A I mean, we're not even at the
  • 00:35:34
    half 890. We've made it to the halfway
  • 00:35:37
    halfway mark. Now, we just got to see if
  • 00:35:38
    we can get the same to happen for
  • 00:35:40
    attack. Keep in mind, we started on like
  • 00:35:43
    a,03. Uh, that's
  • 00:35:46
    145. Preferably, you' probably also only
  • 00:35:50
    want to upgrade like the things you're
  • 00:35:51
    always going to use. So, for example,
  • 00:35:54
    Vukong's artifact, Kiri's artifact
  • 00:35:56
    first, or the good exclusives, the
  • 00:35:58
    really popular exclusives first. Uh,
  • 00:36:00
    Hexis of Cabis comes to mind, obviously.
  • 00:36:03
    Uh, and then after that, the truly
  • 00:36:05
    popular, oh, we high. We high roll on HP
  • 00:36:11
    1,400 and 270. So we made it over 50%.
  • 00:36:15
    It took us around 20 of these crystals.
  • 00:36:18
    Now for the advanced refine, we have a
  • 00:36:20
    cap of 4,000, a cap of
  • 00:36:22
    1,200. So you can see already uh these
  • 00:36:25
    gems are way better. We uh doubled our
  • 00:36:28
    attack
  • 00:36:30
    increase. We did get a lower HP
  • 00:36:33
    increase. We increased our attack even
  • 00:36:35
    further to plus 760. 760 is actually
  • 00:36:38
    quite a lot. That's a 50% increase to
  • 00:36:40
    the base. Uh and then now
  • 00:36:43
    2,760. So I would say overall that's
  • 00:36:46
    pretty good. Now the weird madness is
  • 00:36:50
    um to find a good stat. So you see we we
  • 00:36:53
    have all these different stats you can
  • 00:36:55
    roll and they can roll between 3 and
  • 00:36:57
    15%. So now we have an attack increase
  • 00:37:00
    of 3.2% which we obviously take. It's
  • 00:37:02
    kind of like the same with gear. Now,
  • 00:37:04
    rate region 5.2 is higher, but attack
  • 00:37:07
    should be more valuable. Crit damage
  • 00:37:09
    once again 3%, we stay with the
  • 00:37:12
    same. Crit rate 5% only worth it if so
  • 00:37:18
    the reason crit rate might be worth it
  • 00:37:20
    is if you can afford to run a single
  • 00:37:23
    piece without crit rate allowing you to
  • 00:37:26
    for example put in more attack speed put
  • 00:37:28
    in more rage region put in more crit
  • 00:37:29
    damage to uh take over for this spot
  • 00:37:32
    right there. So there is a couple things
  • 00:37:34
    that crit rate could help here, but
  • 00:37:37
    overall if everything goes optimal and
  • 00:37:39
    if you already have your 100% crit rate
  • 00:37:42
    with only four pieces, then trying to
  • 00:37:45
    get the highest attack roll possible is
  • 00:37:47
    obviously great. So once again, we are
  • 00:37:48
    aiming for a 7.5% roll. The attack uh
  • 00:37:52
    the crit damage roll here at 8.3% we're
  • 00:37:54
    going to take for the moment and then
  • 00:37:57
    we're just going to see how long it
  • 00:37:58
    takes us to get something useful out of
  • 00:38:00
    here. So once again a 3.1% uh attack
  • 00:38:05
    increase. Hey 8.5. So 8.5 is more than
  • 00:38:10
    8.3. 3.4 is obviously less than
  • 00:38:15
    8.5. Attack speed 22 which is also below
  • 00:38:19
    the 50% mark. Um and also I don't think
  • 00:38:23
    it's justified to take a tech speed
  • 00:38:27
    especially because with the way attack
  • 00:38:29
    speed scales. Uh, obviously right here,
  • 00:38:31
    if you were to do this for a defender
  • 00:38:33
    artifact, which kind of should be like
  • 00:38:35
    your last thing to upgrade after you've
  • 00:38:37
    done all the proper ones,
  • 00:38:39
    um, would be to upgrade,
  • 00:38:43
    um, for a tank. So, you would look for
  • 00:38:46
    something like HP percent and defense
  • 00:38:47
    percent. 44 is actually quite a high
  • 00:38:50
    roll which should be equivalent to
  • 00:38:54
    around 12% should be around like a 12%
  • 00:38:58
    roll uh in terms of attack. And I think
  • 00:39:02
    if 44 44 attack speed increase is
  • 00:39:06
    justified
  • 00:39:07
    enough. So there's still a couple things
  • 00:39:09
    we could have changed, a couple things
  • 00:39:11
    we could have done differently. Uh we
  • 00:39:12
    could have upgraded to a whole different
  • 00:39:14
    set from the beginning. Um, but overall,
  • 00:39:18
    let's let's see how much of a difference
  • 00:39:22
    uh spending. I I would say this is
  • 00:39:24
    probably what you're going to get within
  • 00:39:26
    like a week, maybe two weeks. It depends
  • 00:39:29
    on what kind of stage you're getting.
  • 00:39:30
    Obviously, the amount of um red crystals
  • 00:39:33
    we're burning through here is truly
  • 00:39:37
    painful. Um but yeah, it looks it looks
  • 00:39:39
    like you can at least in a sense get
  • 00:39:41
    lucky, which makes sense. Uh first
  • 00:39:44
    feedback to the devs will probably be
  • 00:39:46
    buff the drop rates before
  • 00:39:50
    uh releasing this to global because it's
  • 00:39:53
    just going to cause uh cause more
  • 00:39:55
    frustration
  • 00:39:57
    um than it helps especially with with
  • 00:40:00
    some of these values being truly this
  • 00:40:02
    tiny. Let's see if we can once again
  • 00:40:04
    make it over
  • 00:40:06
    50%. We I mean we did make it with uh
  • 00:40:09
    with the crit rate. We are at
  • 00:40:11
    around 80 80. Yeah, I guess you could
  • 00:40:15
    say 80%. Oh, maybe even a bit more like
  • 00:40:19
    close
  • 00:40:20
    to 90% with the attack speed roll. Oo,
  • 00:40:23
    8.5% attack. That is actually pretty
  • 00:40:26
    good. So, let's end it on 8.5%
  • 00:40:28
    attack. So, now grand reveal. We've
  • 00:40:31
    spent these resources. We went in, we
  • 00:40:33
    upgraded our Vukong in comparison to the
  • 00:40:35
    old one. So, what did we manage to
  • 00:40:39
    change overall? We've increased our
  • 00:40:41
    attack on Vukong by around 800. Um, by
  • 00:40:46
    around
  • 00:40:50
    845, which can't be qu I mean, how is
  • 00:40:56
    that
  • 00:40:58
    possible? No, there must be something
  • 00:41:00
    else we've done. I mean, how is it that
  • 00:41:03
    we went lower? I mean, how is it only
  • 00:41:11
    1684? Is it maybe not counting in? No,
  • 00:41:15
    it is counting in the 2,800 from the
  • 00:41:20
    artifact. I mean, we have 3% here, 3%
  • 00:41:24
    here. So, that's 6%
  • 00:41:27
    attack, and then we have 50 flat attack.
  • 00:41:33
    So, oh, and also we got a flat attack
  • 00:41:36
    stat by swapping out an HP
  • 00:41:44
    stat. I mean, 10%
  • 00:41:48
    of No, something has to be a bit wrong
  • 00:41:51
    here. I don't know. This doesn't quite
  • 00:41:54
    look like the calculation it's meant to
  • 00:41:56
    be, if you know what I mean. I feel like
  • 00:41:57
    the starting value changed somehow.
  • 00:42:00
    Like, did we start on like 1,600 flat?
  • 00:42:04
    There's no way this just ended up being
  • 00:42:06
    1,600 because the math doesn't add up.
  • 00:42:08
    We have 760 right here, plus
  • 00:42:11
    8% plus 6%. So, that's a 15% attack
  • 00:42:15
    increase plus the 760 plus 50 base uh
  • 00:42:20
    plus then also the 350 attack speed. So
  • 00:42:24
    this should not
  • 00:42:27
    be, you know, this should not look like
  • 00:42:33
    this. Yeah. And we also didn't swap a
  • 00:42:36
    piece. The only thing we did is swap
  • 00:42:37
    instead. So I I guess this is a bit
  • 00:42:40
    weird, but overall, what did we get out
  • 00:42:43
    of this whole shenanigan? We got 6%
  • 00:42:46
    attack plus 8% attack. So make that 15%
  • 00:42:49
    attack, 760 flat plus the from the
  • 00:42:53
    weapon. So 800 flat. Then uh around
  • 00:42:57
    3,000 HP from artifact and water chest
  • 00:43:00
    piece. And then from the variant, we got
  • 00:43:02
    another 2% crit damage from the rolls,
  • 00:43:05
    3% crit damage, and then some extra
  • 00:43:08
    damage against slow. So overall, we
  • 00:43:09
    gained 5% crit rate, around 20%
  • 00:43:14
    attack, and then uh yeah, that that kind
  • 00:43:17
    of seems to be what we were able to get
  • 00:43:20
    at the moment. Obviously a little bit of
  • 00:43:22
    a let down, a little bit disappointing.
  • 00:43:24
    We obviously have to kind of talk to the
  • 00:43:25
    dev, see if we can get these rates
  • 00:43:27
    higher, maybe even increase the max
  • 00:43:29
    values because at the end of the day, we
  • 00:43:31
    did spend quite a bunch of these
  • 00:43:33
    resources and we didn't really make such
  • 00:43:36
    a um amazing leap
  • 00:43:40
    forward. Uh we can we can just do a
  • 00:43:43
    couple random upgrades here cuz why not?
  • 00:43:47
    So, let's just upgrade this piece right
  • 00:43:48
    here. see if we can if we can get
  • 00:43:50
    anything fancy. So, this would be a fast
  • 00:43:52
    state gem enhancement uh evolution. Bada
  • 00:43:56
    bing, bada boom, bada bang. And it would
  • 00:43:58
    be cataclysm. That's actually pretty
  • 00:44:00
    good. That's actually pretty good. And
  • 00:44:02
    then this cataclysm piece, you could
  • 00:44:08
    also Shouldn't we be able to take this
  • 00:44:12
    cataclysm piece now?
  • 00:44:15
    And it somehow doesn't count as a
  • 00:44:19
    variant. Ah, weapon or banger. Ah, h
  • 00:44:24
    makes sense. It's uh a weapon or a
  • 00:44:30
    banger. Uh I guess that uh does explain
  • 00:44:34
    a bit. Um, and then also obviously same
  • 00:44:37
    is true for just taking a piece that is
  • 00:44:40
    already a variant and then turning it
  • 00:44:43
    into
  • 00:44:45
    uh turning it into a tier two tier three
  • 00:44:48
    set. Let's see what do we get here.
  • 00:44:50
    Another cataclysm banger. This time
  • 00:44:53
    actually it being a banger. So we can
  • 00:44:55
    also turn it into a variant with
  • 00:44:58
    increase the damage dealt from summon
  • 00:45:01
    enemies. So quite cool. Um yeah. Okay,
  • 00:45:05
    overall let's let's wrap this whole
  • 00:45:06
    thing up. Um, the stages. Okay, let's
  • 00:45:10
    let's just go by from the beginningish.
  • 00:45:14
    I really like the way this works. I
  • 00:45:16
    really like the fact
  • 00:45:18
    that not that you can get the most
  • 00:45:21
    important resources even from just tier
  • 00:45:24
    three maps. this transmutation gem or
  • 00:45:29
    here this um yeah this chameleon gem
  • 00:45:33
    that you can swap a stat with it really
  • 00:45:35
    isn't as important as the other ones. So
  • 00:45:39
    you can get the more important resources
  • 00:45:41
    like specifically these runic
  • 00:45:43
    augmentation gems, you're going to get
  • 00:45:44
    you're going to need a lot of them.
  • 00:45:45
    That's also why you can get two to six
  • 00:45:47
    per run if they drop. Then darkfall
  • 00:45:50
    gems, you're going to need quite a lot.
  • 00:45:52
    Evolution gems are going to be a bit
  • 00:45:53
    more niche. And variant gems, it truly
  • 00:45:55
    depends on how many heroes or how many
  • 00:45:58
    gear pieces you have that you truly want
  • 00:46:00
    to awaken or enhance. But yeah, I'm I'm
  • 00:46:04
    a big fan of the game mode. It looks
  • 00:46:06
    like it's going to introduce a lot of
  • 00:46:07
    fun, a lot of RNG. You've seen how how
  • 00:46:09
    much we got crushed on stage four
  • 00:46:11
    because we didn't properly prepare. So,
  • 00:46:13
    it's going to be important for you to
  • 00:46:14
    read the things in the stage to
  • 00:46:17
    understand how these units work and also
  • 00:46:21
    to try to counteract the boss, try to
  • 00:46:24
    bring units that work and also uh fill
  • 00:46:28
    out your ground unit roster because as
  • 00:46:30
    you've seen, we only have three platform
  • 00:46:32
    spaces and a whole lot more ground
  • 00:46:35
    spaces. And then now for the upgrade
  • 00:46:38
    experience thing.
  • 00:46:41
    Um the upgrades we made at the moment
  • 00:46:44
    with the resources do seem to be a I
  • 00:46:47
    would say realisticish level of how much
  • 00:46:50
    you're going to be able to take
  • 00:46:51
    advantage of this overall. Um yeah, what
  • 00:46:55
    do we get? I mean we we repeated it
  • 00:46:58
    quite a lot of times already, but like
  • 00:47:00
    a,000 flat attack, 15% attack general.
  • 00:47:04
    So 15% of 16700 ends up being like
  • 00:47:07
    another,000. So let's
  • 00:47:10
    say it's around 2,000 attack, 1,000 flat
  • 00:47:14
    HP, 5% crit rate, and then depending on
  • 00:47:17
    whatever you roll. Uh also, we could
  • 00:47:19
    have gotten 300 more uh for 40 more
  • 00:47:22
    attack speed, but in this case, we do
  • 00:47:24
    have extra attack bonus. So very
  • 00:47:26
    interesting system. There obviously
  • 00:47:27
    needs to be some tweaking in the values.
  • 00:47:30
    Maybe make the higher values more. maybe
  • 00:47:32
    um cut a couple of the super low values
  • 00:47:34
    out. Maybe weigh the chances a bit more
  • 00:47:37
    away from just that 50% or like the 30
  • 00:47:39
    to 40%
  • 00:47:41
    mark. Yeah, this is uh the first look at
  • 00:47:44
    this whole system. I hope it answered
  • 00:47:47
    most if not all of your questions and as
  • 00:47:50
    always, we see each other in the next
  • 00:47:52
    one. Peace.
