I love this video
Kodiak. This vid just helped me with the beast of the hills boss fight, thx bro
I think Jorraptor just died when you said thorn of slumber was bad. It is the only ability he talks about
The incendiary trap shot came in handy for going through breakable walls. Didn't have to back track for explosive jars.
Incendiary powder trap should be S class because of the ability to break rock hidden walls without finding explosive jars and breaking barred doors. This just makes life soo much easier.
Agreed, that is probably one of the most used ability by me.
I use it for its utility but for me would make it B tier.
100% agree!
I tried to approach that fire trap from a purely combat perspective. I realize it's useful, but you can just swap it out when necessary. I do think it makes it a versatile ability, but maybe not in the context of this video.
@@LegacyGamingUS thing is not every ability is made for combat and to do damage this is ASSASSINS CREED things like raven distraction is useful in stealth and getting chain assassinates so i think ur thinking way to linear and not thinking anything but combat combat combat i actually have played 40. Hours and seen many times where u can be stealthy so yeah
Thorn of slumber is S teir for me, I was level 90 raiding a level 200+ area so I could get loads of tungsten ingots. Pair it with advanced assassination and you can clear out a entire area like a real assassin since you gain a adrenaline slot for a assassination.
Yeah You can literally take out every elite enemy providing you have adrenaline in a matter of seconds
Yes especially when you are having a hard time with a boss or a mini boss and you shoot them with that thing and they will go down and just sit there while you ax them in the face.
Yep you are right, when you are looking for specific items in high lvl areas that skill is very useful.
The amount of walls I've blown up with those explosive arrows when i couldn't find those jars is crazy😂
Oh yeah, I stopped using jars completely after I learned that trick
The in depth and honest breakdown alone makes these videos worth it.
The fire trap can be used to break down the stone walls instead of finding a oil jar.
By far the best ranged is that explosive arrow one. I don’t use ranged ability’s in combat but that one is really good for word exploration and completion.
Well done, Codiak! Legacy Gaming will blow up in 2021!! Speak it into existence, y’all’s hard work will pay off 👍🏽👍🏽 make it an awesome day everyone, and play on!!
Thanks for all your Valhalla gear ranking videos. They offer a lot of your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate them. Just one thing. Although Valhalla might seem to focus more on combat style in the first place, you can actually still play it in a pretty good stealth way, too. The combat style is just your way and so is your ranking. Just for other players to keep that in mind. Other than that, keep up the good work!
Brilliant breakdown, very well put together.
After watching his other video on melee abilities and this one, I'm now convinced that he probably hates stealth...
Well it's more of a sub play style 🤷🏻 like it's there but it's probably just more fun and simple to just play agressively but stealth is good for some situations just not every one
The Thorn of Slumber Ability combined with advanced assassination skill, enables you to take down any high level elite, effectively allowing you to farm tungsten early on. This ability outta be much high ranked. It's so useful.
It is a decent way to get 50% xp boost on harder enemies as well. This adds up and is pretty significant especially early game.
Sleep thorn is good in the Dublin king quests where you have to go undetected
Thorn of slumber can knock out multiple enemies to sleep. Definitely deserves more than f rank
Man's best should be s class because It is really good against bosses because you can use then do a stomp attack or hit weak spots
Ive been watching this channel for a while now, honestly it has one of the best content ive seen out there, pretty good work dude
I agree with everything on this list. I would say the incendiary trap is a good utility. Get through those breakable passageways and stuff.
Definitely a great utility, but I didn’t want to factor a non-combat element into this ranking
These ranking videos are really coming in handy and I agree with your tiers. Mark of death truly is my favorite ability, especially since it once took an entire zealot out while shooting his back with the ability. it makes life a whole lot easier! Keep up the great work
Incindiery powder trap can break through the walls that u usually have to use the pots for
My man just keeps giving. Keep up the good work
Keep up the good work! I really like how you have an ign sort of style, but with an actual opinion.
You need way more attention for these videos, keep it up man.
Your ranked videos are really high quality!
Love the videos keep them coming
I love these rank vids I’m really enjoying them
Literally been binge watching these videos!
Great work, subbed 👍
Really glad you're enjoying them =)
I enjoy these vids even if I'd rank differently. Honestly just comes down to play style and that's cool.
This is a seriously underrated channel!!!
Loving ya Valhalla vids mate, just started playing so finding them 'S' tier :)
Thx for this live stream btw. I picked up my phone to watch some youtube and it said u wer streaming so I joined. So thx
Keep it up mate!
I never used any of the bow abilities, can't wait to give them a go now!
Nice one cordiac. You S and A tier abilities are the abilities I like to use
you said it exactly like you were watching my play style. i agree completely with you on the sleep / fire trap stuff. i too play with my bow most of the time followed with a spear/ hammer combo up close. where you hit the mark is the assassination style, specifically the games speed.. i never slow creep an assassination attempt... i always find myself running up from behind or the blind area triggering a stealth kill/ assassination. i always, ALWAYS use the raven as soon as i fast travel in to an area, no matter what my goal for being there is, i always start with a high altitude recon searching for moving treasure on walking patrols. i will always take those out before going after whatever brings me there and i always just run up behind them and target the carrier with a stealth kill assassination. once i kill the target and grap the resources/ treasure i go back to my plan and this works on every area. i have been doing lv 360 areas since lv 40 0r so when i got the advanced assassination ability
ive used mark of death since day one. it is so op
An informative video, BTW is there a cap for the stats you can apply on your weapon? Cause no matter how much attack buff I put on my character, it's always maxed at 30 more than the weapon's original attack stat, I'm wearing the mentor set and the thegn set combination, with the Surtr sword on the right hand, and I also put the chain finisher fury rune on my left hand's Carolingian longsword, all the perks are activated, supposedly the attack stat should be over 200, but it's capped at 174 on the right hand, 178 on the left hand.
Good video bro , keep doing it !!!!!!
Another good ranking video!
Have to admit I didn't really use many ranged abilities in my playthrough but I'm going to experiment with some of these on some bandit camps. Only ones I really used were the mark of death (very useful) and the incendiary trap to open barred doors and explosive walls.
The only one I find pretty odd is the raven distraction. Would have thought that would be the most useless ability given it doesn't kill anything and costs adrenaline. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Odyssey have a similar ability with Ikaros that didn't cost anything? Having to spend adrenaline on it feels like a bit of a downgrade.
Perfect abilities guides
I use the incendiary trap all the time, very useful imo, you can also use it to blow open the destructive walls instead of searching around for a powder keg. Can also blow the bar off barred doors with the 2 tap
Nailed it again!
Focus of Nornir is the best by far. So useful.
I'm happy that I'm playing the game correctly thanks
Could you do a list for best dual wielding weapons or dual wielding combos
comb tips vid would be awesome and very helpful !!
I had no idea you were a ranged guy. That’s cool that you still record so much real melee footage, it really elevates your videos. I wish they had a quick way to swap between a main light and hunter bow. Depending on the situation sometimes I went light bow - some weak points on bosses are easier to hit with a machine gun spray. Also, can you break barriers through walls (not necessarily through the door) with piercing shot? Could be interesting if so...
Also that slow mo kill at 10:50 was dirtyyyy
I'm glad SOMEONE saw that =) I'm definitely a ranged guy 100% but ranged combat isn't always 'sexy' so I try and get in the fray when it comes to showcasing footage for these videos. I could headshot all day, but I think people would get bored!
I mentioned it before but i never used hunter bows, all light and predator. I miss the ability in odyssey to change your bow quickly though! I do not use the Focus of Nonir, instead i use the light bow for quick rapid damage. Great job on these videos!
Hunter bows just work for my playstyle, not sure why! I agree that not having a way to swap between gear sets is a bit odd, especially given how clunky the ACV menu system is.
i‘m only using the F-D abilities hahah
then again i like & use the assassin playstyle the most
I’m definitely using a couple of the lower rank abilities since day 1 and I’m level 300! The Incendiary Powder is a god send to get into those secret places when you can’t be bothered to carry the nearby oil jars
@@davidgross4419 yepp same
In overall usefulness the powder trap is really the most useful, being able to break walls is a lot stronger. Sure in combat not all that useful but for overall gameplay it’s really necessary. Some of the collectables around the map you actually need the ability
You don’t need it but sometimes it’s easier to use this than to find the oil jars
I use powder trap more as a utility instead of looking for pots to blow stuff up
With over 60+ hours, I must say that Thorn of slumber has made it a lot easier to handle yellow bar enemies, especially when you can instantly kill them with your blade. I typically use it mid combat and it helps me take care of the brutes with ease.
I’ve seen a couple comments like this and I’m convinced I should have ranked it higher. I really didn’t see players using it over some of the other abilities in the game, but clearly I was wrong. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I just unlocked this a while ago.
I was just thinking the same thing. The control it gives you is invaluable and allows you to reset. That's what makes Rogues in WoW so deadly.
This guy should have more subscribers
Incendiary trap can be used to destroy walls that normally need to be destroyed by a oil jar which makes it a lot more useful
Very agreeded 🤝
I like the piercing shot because it ups your damage. If you're running through an area underleveled and a normal headshot isn't enough to kill, piercing shot tends to give the ability to kill em.
As a poison ranged/stealth with predator bow as my main weapon, poison abilities are S ranked, imo... Especially when multiple enemies unknowingly got poisoned and the domino effect happened. So satisfying...
When the Ireland expansion releases will you cover all the weapons, armour abilities etc in it?
I really appreciate these videos. This is the first AC game I've ever played. I still struggle with understanding the abilities assigned that come with each weapon or armor. I would love to see a breakdown of ruins. which ones are good and which ones can I just sell. If anyone has any explanation for me on abilities I would love to hear it. Thanks Codiac for all you do!
please go play assassins creed 2
Both trap abilities and buff abilities are amazing in the hardest difficult combined with said perk for both statues effect allows for consistent damage to everyone plus the buff can be used in conjunction with mark of death. I personally use range abilities in stealth using both the bird plus thorn you can keep multiple enemies unaware as you kill other enemies easily kill groups of 4 in the hardest difficult with ease. If I'm playing aggressive I use a light bow combined with it volley passive with either buff depending on what status I'm going for then use mark of death to immediately apply status to a group followed up with keeping status up with both volley passive and traps if there is an elite I use piercing shot to shoot through enemies to hit weak spots on elites. Aggressive play is whenever I do river raid or raid normally the rest is stealth setup
Would it be possible to get the Tougher Enemy the Standard Bearer etc? Going from the easiest to drop to the hardest.
Incendiary powder trap is great for breaking breakable walls! Don't need to find an oil jar, in some off place, and carry it, like a baby!
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this in the comments section but Piercing shot is incredibly useful for zealots who use heavy shields, I used it a lot to just shoot through the shields and hit their weak spot👌🏻
I just got this game and I never tried focus of the Nornir because the way its worded made me think it would just speed up my shots didn't realize it was slow time. LOL I have about 35 hours and I'm power level 109 or something lol thanks I'll be using this one now!
Man's best friend is my personal S rank. It was literally a free stomp attack on any enemy that was giving you trouble. Plus when you upgrade it he sticks around and still fights. I love it. Also, extremely useful against the Zealots
I must say; I usually agree with most of ur ratings but the Poison and Incendiary powder traps when used effectively are s tier abilities for sure. If you're wanting to take out fortresses and wanting to get through the enemies asap then especially the fire trap when shot into the groups can take out large groups os minor enemies or chip down the elite enemies to 1/3 or 1/4 health for easy finishings and then the poison one is good for tagging the elites with them and having it slowly chip them down while you focus on the minor enemies and getting rid of them before returning to the larger elite enemies who are then quite low on health. Their highly effective when you know how to use them best.
Focus of nonir is op I love it so much
got to disagree on the slumber thorn or whatever it was called, I find this really handy if there is a group of enemies grouped together or a high level one in a crowd, you can send them all to sleep then run in and assassinate them. The best thing about it is that when you assassinate you get your adrenaline back so there's no net loss i.e. you can keep using it over and over. Great vid though, really handy!
switch trap and strike abilities, I tend to use light bow for general purpose and predator for sniping, but even if I was using hunter I would place the traps higher
1- you don't have to shoot the ground for traps, shooting the enemy directly can and does work and at level 2 it acts like a sticky bomb, so if the first blast didn't kill the enemy it'll go off again a few seconds later and it'll be right on the enemy even if they've moved (or if they did die the body will be trapped for any investigating grunts)
2- element poof on tier 2 strike is more or less useless for long range, even giving away your position if you're sniping
3- fire trap breaks breakable walls, I CANNOT emphasize how much time this has saved me, instead of searching around for an oil jar I just pop it with a fire trap and it's open (it'll detonate on hit, definitely deliberate on Ubisoft's part)
4- both axe blizzard and mark of death have a max range, traps do not, so long as there is an enemy where the arrow lands it will go off (perfect for sniping)
5- strike abilities often require multiple hits to ignite/poison an enemy, traps will ignite/poison all but the most resilient bosses, and at tier 2 even that won't save them
I generally use poison trap for when enemies are more spread out (miasma for the win) and fire trap for elites or tightly grouped enemies (and as stated in 3 an essential utility ability)
While you were using Piercing Shot in the footage for this video I was scolding myself for not reading the text better the first time I beat this game. The way I play stealth is slow and methodical and I cannot tell you how many times I climbed up and over a building just to be able to hit a singular target from stealth. Sigh. Serves me right.
Though we may have different play styles, I'll say you have convinced me to try Focus of Nornir. I know that I eventually got into a very good rhythm switching between bow and melee attacks on my first playthrough. And some of the tougher enemies in the game certainly require it. However, I do wonder why you would use Focus of Nornir over Throwing Axe Fury? Maybe it's just me but the gameplay you're showing makes it looks as though this is a panic button. And if you've all ready got one panic button, is the other really necessary? I guess I'll have to see how much damage we're talking about.
I was always starting boss fights using Focus of the Nornir 4 times :D
One of my favourite range abilities is rat swarm that is found in France , you light up an area of enemy's and the rat's come up from the ground and devour them and if other enemy's come to investigate they get eaten too
imo the double arrow charging skill is the best bow ability, kill any elite with 1 headshot, and drain boss health bars in just a few headshots, i do that with hunter bow
I suppose if there is one thing good about piercing shot it’s that it keeps you stealthy rather that forcing you into the open in order to take shots.
I want to mention the slumber ability with critical assassination is one of the best ways to get through late game areas as an early game player. Can kill essentially everyone just cycling the ability
Could you make one about the god favours in orlog?
Mark of Death and Focus of the Nornir helped extremely against bosses
Also Incendiary Powder Trap is so useful because you can break every wall without finding that goddamn jar
Thorn of Slumber deserves more for assassin based style
GREATTTTTTT...thank uuuu
I think poisonous powder trap can be good because when triggered, you can throw a torch at it and make it explode
@Legacy Gaming what armour and bow do you use in this video
My go to (non-store set) is 3 pieces of Thegn and 2 pieces of Mentor. I primarily use the Hunnish Bow
@@LegacyGamingUS Thanks for replying!
I find Incendiary Powder Trap to be one of the most useful abilities, as it is a perfect replacement of an oil jar. I blasted most of the blocked doors / debris with this ability instead of walking carefully with a jar of oil, then shooting it. Just like a torch is a perfect replacement for an arrow to break through windows, ice walls, etc. (especially because it has unlimited supplies). Also it works wonders on large groups of enemies standing close together. Piercing shot would be a lot more useful if it worked on barred doors.
Mf’s lookin like David Byrne
I have to disagree about thorn of slumber, maybe because I'm a low power new player. But I find it very useful when underpowered and out exploring much higher zones for gear and treasure etc. Im more of assassination always sneaking when I can (huge MGSV player lol) and when a lower level, anything to down the harder enemies or key holders etc without a fight is a huge plus. When the objective is in a hut in the middle of camp you can whistle the perimeter guards for an assassination, then put to sleep any guards in a open area to clear the path way to your main goal also. Maybe its a situational thing, but so far its been very useful.
piercing arrows ar underrated because you can use them to break the lock on dors !
The incendiary trap as so much versatility outside of combat and allows you to bypass many puzzle it can also interact with oil jars, the poison one cannot. I'd bump it a few ranks maybe not A but definitely not E either
I tried to approach that fire trap from a purely combat perspective. I realize it's useful, but you can just swap it out when necessary. I do think it makes it a versatile ability, but maybe not in the context of this video.
@@LegacyGamingUS I totally see the point and still a great video. It's just something that could be mentioned to make sure new players don't pass up on this ability when exploring
With Ranged Fire strike, if the enemy is still. You can just set the arrow on fire with a torch. Great list though :)
I only use the explosive arrows to blow up walls and fire arrows to light up the silos and blow up supplies.
I got a glitch with mans best friend where it killed a key holding enemy and it bugged out so I couldn’t loot him and wasn’t able to get an armour treasure.. just one of the 100 bugs I’ve seen so far
The incendiary trap range ability can blow up and open rubble doors/paths so you don't have to search for an explosive canister.
out of the two traps..fire trap id rank a little higher...becuse if you cant find a fire oil jar near a destoryable wall..load the fire arrow...and your good to go
I like to use incendiary trap because it does good damage to bosses and because it can break weak walls instead of finding an oil jar
I think the incendiary powder trap should be a little higher than the poison one before you can use on the breakable walls
Incinerated trap MUST HAVE.
You can get through blocked doors without looking for and carrying explosive jars.
It's saves irritation.
I kept incendiary trap on from the start, it can break the walls cuz I don’t like carrying around the stupid jugs.
Will you update the both of them?
The incendiary powder trap has another use, it's a shortcut to knock down breakable walls instead of searching for oil pots, I discovered this myself and no where have I seen or it mentioned useful tip
Thorn of slumber is one of the best abilities, if you hit a tougher enemy with it or group of enemies, even when they're in combat with you, they fall asleep and can be assassinated
It's an instant kill button on any enemy who isn't a boss fight like the zealots or daughters of lerion
Thorn of slumber is absolutely an S+ tier ability for the hardest difficulty games. Especially when going thru river raids, this is an absolute necessity.
They're good for druid dlc
The incendiary and poisonous powder traps are atleast A tier with their damage, area of effect, post effects and utility
The incendiary trap is basically just for blowing up obstacles, if it increased range and damage it would be a lot more useful outside of that.
Agreed. I only use it to avoid carrying oil jars to some of the harder to get obstacles. In fact after 120 hours I don’t think I’ve ever used it in an enemy!
The sleep arrow is super strong.... I always use it to sleep a group of enemies if they are higher lvl and assassinate them
Thank you so much for your videos I just got them game a little bit ago and your videos have helped alot
you ever think of comin back to these?
