I've honestly started telling people in HM Colossi fights to "stop following YT build guides and start putting on HP and DEF". I don't care how many millions of damage you can do in 5s, if you're crawling around on the ground and I have to save your sorry ass as a Bunny, there's obviously something very wrong with your build.
It’s really not a build if someone stand on place and taking all the hits no amount of HP or Def will help them
Yup, cause if you are on the ground, that means someone has to stop DPSing to rez. That's a loss of DPS of 2x in that time. And if you just happen to get focused on as you are resting the downed squishy player? You are dead as well, and now you have 2 people down, and so more people have to stop DPSing to rez even more.
I have a friend who built an extreme glass cannon lepic. Sure, he does decent damage when he pulls out his ultimate, but I have to rez him about 5-7 times a boss fight.
So very true. Not being able to stand and fight is useless in my opinion. I’ve never enjoyed the glass cannon mentality. I’ve been in the military and a glass cannon mentality is absurd.
Still, this is a video game and the extreme OP power fantasy compels extreme foolishness. In the end, gamers will play how they choose. Playing in a public arena means we all have to accept other gamers choices and decide our own course of action.
Started to slowly move to being a content creator, mainly because i saw a lack of integrity from the current bigger content creators. I’ve never been the “umm actually” type of person, but this game has opened my eyes to how lost lots people are on how they work, not only players but youtubers. Most of the huge content creators put out videos very fast, and constantly using this word “BEST BEST BEST” over and over just to learn 2 new things the next day and create another video with the same title. I really like your content, you speak my mind and you understand the nuance of things like builds in games, which you let players know. Hope you blow up and continue making videos not only for this game, but whatever you feel like doing because i like your perspective and approach to things man
appreciate it fam, yeah i dont want to start any issues but i also understand the mentality and tones that are set when content is made a certain way. I cant control what others or nor do i care too but all i can do it put out the best content that i can and help as much as i can.
I just wanted to say thank u for that Blair build. It made the game 10x more enjoyable and even tho I don't have truly deadly cuisine. I'm still locked in and enjoy your insight. W videos W mans.
appreciate it stay blessed fam!
Thanks for the discussion.. im a Yujin main who stacked HP (18k-22K HP) with little DEF only on one component and no increased DEF module on..and can comfortably tank direct hits from FrostWalker while keeping the team healed up all the time.. i have short cooldown and longer duration with 15K burst heals and 1.3K HP ticks..(Better with min/max reactor or even a level 1 reactor *bugged*) i find that some characters are better built for HP, some for DEF, and some for Shields even.. i think that's a neat thing that further more makes characters a bit more unique module wise imo.
I'm trying different builds. But since I don't have a ton of time its slow going. But your vids have been some of the best help. Thank you
To me the right values for HP DEF depends on where you are in your mod capacity for the descendants and weapons. You can't be a glass cannon while having a low or avg capacity. You won't reach a power scale needed to basically one or two shot everything so you will end up DNBO a lot. A scale I like to use is if your mod capacity is above avg to max level, then glass cannon builds are more feasible. If you're avg and below, you should have more HP and DEF since you will need to stay alive to do dmg that's relative to your power scale.
After I finally reached level 100 and saw the actual numbers I got from my equipment, the HP stacking is definitely good the defense is iffy depending on how much defense I can get from the right side on how much I need my modules to provide. (also I just try not to get hit but when I'm playing bunny around orbs and trying to break them with her aoe and the enemy has a shotgun it becomes glaringly obvious i can't ignore def completely)
The problem with this game is the catalyst being locked the fact that it takes 8 hours to craft 20% drop just for it to lock just limits builds in general glass canon or tank builds ir hybrids are not the problem i really love FD but there’s pretty much zero freedom when it comes to build creation they need to adress this
I agree with you on the catalyst is annoying to farm to make a build, especially if you slotted 3 wrong catalyst like I did and have to re-farm more to fix your error lol.. but I think there is lots of freedom to making a build however you would like to.. tanky bunny? Sure ! Sharen melting bosses with her 1 skill? Absolutely possible... you can make anything happen if you imagine it and stop comparing yourself to meta builds everyone spams because of RUclips
I have found that combining HP modules like Stim Accelerant and two sources of DEF from External Components (+6,000 to 8,000 combined) to work well for all Descendants as base line. Prior to that I was using one HP and one DEF modules and stacking both on External Modules and was not even close to being as effective as the new setup has been. The difference in mitigation being 30%+ now with 10,000 to 12,000 HP versus whatever 15 to 20,000 DEF gives and 5,000 HP, often while giving up a portion of shields. The change allows for more direct damage and damage-over-time to be taken before hitting the floor. Combine it with a base level immunity mod to combat the damage-over-time effects from bosses and you survive a lot easier, in my experience so far.
I'll do you one better, stack Increased HP and HP Amplification + Spear and Shield/Iron Defense/Increased DEF. Depending on your components, you should have around 25k DEF (35k DEF with Increased DEF) and 12-15k HP which is plenty of bulk.
Instead of having Stim Accelerant, you could take that MP penalty by using the Nimble Fingers and MP Conversion combo instead for all your descendants.
I’m all about HP and Shield. 20k for both and now I almost never die unless I’m just ignoring danger from being tanky.
I'm wanting to forego Defense, and build "Walk a Tightrope".
Yeah 15-20k hp gets you through most anything. Even with 1k shield 4k def, maybe a resist module & an un-upgraded dot immunity card(heat release, etc) for hm intercepts. That alone can face tank so much. Can eat the hits for a few seconds in most cases reviving someone. It's almost laughable that most sloppy players would rather die. Glass cannons don't fire when broken. And def does 0 for elemental. Which is where HM intercepts start to get wild. Where the physical is capped essentially at executioner level.
yea i had been pumping my DEF on Ajax cuz other youtubers said too. then i used my own brain and realized that was wasteful. i’m sitting at 13k HP, 1k shields and only like 20k DEF. i’m doing better than before
Agreed with the keeping stats neutral, in regards to peripheral stats like Fire. If anything, start with omission of primary stats in order to effectively progress into some kind of interesting bias for a build.
Very informative and helpful. I appreciate the information. This game with the modules has a lot of moving parts to it and it can be overwhelming especially to players not used to a system like this.
Always look forward to the vids as I find yours the most helpful and informative.
Your content is great. You don’t need to use those “surprise” faces for a thumbnail. Coming from a sincere place. Stay blessed
Sir so should i put an angry face lol? ill be honest i create and do things the way i enjoy doing them, stay blessed.
@@ZoxLootsthe surprised face in the thumbnail is used for attracting the attention of children, most people playing this are not children. And your content is definitely not made for children. It doesn’t fit the style and tbh could probably do better with a simple graphic relating to the video like a mod kr descendant with large text lol. Just a thought. Stay blessed
Wtf you talking about? @@beacon666
@beacon666 wow werid take lol adults can have expressions lol
my lepic for example i have one shot glass cannon build for all hard boss solo, but in group boss content i need a lil more survivability, hence i swap some dmg out for 1hp mod,1def mod,1resis mod+1 immunity mod, that being said. I ran 4 glass cannon lepic vs Frostwalker and killed it in 12sec skipping its mechanic. when we find more methods like that for harder content, it pushes away from survivability mods into more glass cannon builds.
If you have have CC'S into your descendant, all you need is HP and whatever immunity card for the content you are doing. Thats it. Max out your damage and learn to kite aggro, move and readjust. No "oh if your dead you cant dps.." those comments come from ajax players with dogshit dps just tanking. Tanking gets you no where tbh. Im taking supports even healers well over tank's. Unless ajax is buffing consistently. He is a weigh down.
how much of a difference will that chill skill power 10% will make? i notice this game with there % is very off and sometimes a small % can be a big difference but im not sure
its very subjective, if i can one shot a boss i dont have to worry about defense, if i cant survive i wont be able to do damage. a mix build a jack of all trait can be good but not the best for every situation. Honestly comes down to what content you are doing and what you are able to push.
You do you zox ❤️😎
Tbh lets just get to the point guys.
Ir you have a DPS character, fullfil your role in fights against Colossus. U aint a tank, SO DONT FOCUS IN ANY KIND OF RESISTANCE! Just on pure DPS, that Will help you team enough! Any character can take some damage without dying, even without mods that buff it.
So, for Colossus, if you are a dps character, focus mainly on that. If you are a tank, like ajax, focus on DEF and HP, focus on being resiliant, and having a duranle shield. SIMPLE AS THAT!
The Numbers of “tanky” lepics, bunnys, viessas, and other dps characters ive seen is just absurd. People just waste potential.
For mobbing, it is ok to have some HP and def, but should not be your priority. But you should actually put some mods for resiliant for mobs, since you get overwelmed easily, and we dont want ppl being 1 shotted by mobs.
