  • Melee weapons are some of the most important weapons in Hypixel Skyblock as they are generally every player's first proper damage dealing item. As a result, people tend to focus on the best weapons they can get depending on their stage of the game seeing as upgrades to their weapon will obviously enhance their damage. However, melee weapon progression has stayed the same for many months now, and with the recent updates that have slightly shifted changes in the meta, I decided to re-visit your typical "meta weapons" to see if this was still the case. To my surprise, quite a lot has changed regarding melee weapon progression over these past couple months, so I've decided to explore it in thorough detail in today's video to share what I've discovered

      Absolutely! It's honestly crazy to me that the price tag for the weapon is still 200M, because even at 35M coins for the chest price, it still is barely worth buying. 35M worth of talismans is almost always a better upgrade than a single sword, hence why I pushed talismans heavily in this video :)

    I was criminally offended when he completely ignored the Fel sword's actual purpose: BETTER DUNGEON HEALING
    It causes both of the healer's already solid abilities to be easier to use, and makes healing circle make any healer nigh-on unkillable in the right situation. This makes any decent tank-healer combo completely invincible against even Maxor's frenzy (No pre-wish) or Storm's giga lightning (assuming both have enough EHP)

      I also dislike that he discounted it because of the kill requirement. For non-ironman profiles, you can easily buy a fel sword with 8000+ kills on it at the auction house for ~ 1 or 2 million coins then kill one or two thousand mobs to max it which only takes a few hours at most.

    • @ModernSoldier
      @ModernSoldier  10 месяцев назад +11

      And this is where the Fel Sword comes in. I'd argue that you could honestly replace your AOTD + Glove with a Fel Sword + Contagion when you hit cata 20. You keep the same dmg, you now have a contagion and it was only a roughly 5M coin upgrade, so you're winning all around. I didn't mention this in the video since it's a little too complex (I wanted to focus more on weapons, not equipment), but it absolutely is a solid option you can go for.

    *TLDR: Comparing weapons is more complicated than you think.*
    very nice video, just wanted to make a few quick comments because there are some things you seemed to miss,
    while yes aotd is very good, livid dagger is too, just not with the setup you where using it with. when used with a dps setup livid dagger will kill pretty much any mob really fast, faster than something like a shadow fury or even sometimes a giant sword, when paired with ferocity the attack speed from the livid dagger becomes far more impactful.
    just for a little suggestion, when comparing weapons it is a good idea to at least try to make a setup epitomized for each individual weapon.
    although with this you would also need to take into consideration the different playstyles that come with each weapon, for example with the livid dagger you could lean fully into the dps aspect and use a tiger pet and dirty reforge and put your talismans on bloody, or you could try to balance it so that you do a mix of dps and shd by going with a lion pet, suspicious reforge instead of tiger and dirty reforge, or someone could do what you did and simply not optimize their setup for the weapon they are using at all, and as you can see, that leads to very underwhelming results.
    Similarly when you where talking about the aotd you also failed to mention the fact that it can also function as a mage weapon as well as a mele weapon
    Another thing, with the gaints swords someone could instead of going with the standard shd setup one would normally use with giants sword, you could use somewhat of a hybrid dps/shd setup and use a lion/tiger pet with the sword on suspicious reforge and talismans on bloody.
    Final Note: this is not even taking into consideration things like stars, recoms, hot potato books, enchants/ultimate enchants, which would not only increase the damage but could also either increase or decrease the gap in damage/dps between weapons, this is also not taking into consideration things like armor and equipment.
    *TLDR: Comparing weapons is more complicated than you think.*

    @Jensonator10 10 месяцев назад +17

    I personally went from aotd with the gauntlet, to livid dagger because I could switch out my equipment with the gauntlet of contagion. I could later sell the livid dagger when I wanted to get something better. But in terms of DPS the Livid dagger scales much better because of the attack speed. For things like starting the crimson Isle it helps quite a bit.

And if you can only pick one weapon to start with, that's reasonably priced for a weapon for starting the crimson isle, you have like 3 choices (aurora staff, fire veil wand, and voodoo doll). Fire veil is like 15m so rather expensive, and aurora staff is probably a worse weapon for minibosses in specific while Id imagine being similar for mobs. But obviously it would be better to have both

    I noticed during the dps test comparison of the Livid dagger and the AOTD he seemed to be jerking his mouse with the Livid dagger in order to hit the target less instead of the optimal strategy of just sitting there and hitting the mob. If the rev can get inside of you like it usually does when you stand still all of your attacks become backstabs. Even without it if you are simply tracking the rev without backstabs then the livid dagger usually performs about 20-40% better depending on your setup.

Every other situation mage or arch would be better.

    Overall, i used most of the listed weapons. The Shadow Fury and The Giants Sword(and even the Warped AOTE) do benefit more from higher tier enchants(or OFA, if you hate yourself) and high magical power then all of the other weapons listed, hence they shouldn't be the main priority with weapon progression for earlier stages of the game and get much better the more advanced you are, but they quickly get replaced by something better.
    The Aotd is a great secondary weapon to the Juju shortbow in dungeons.
    Although i agree with the Ender Dragon Pet place in the progression because of its versatility (good ehp and damage for all classes), but the epic pet alone is hot garbage for 350mil, recommended to only go for the Tier boosted (even tho no shelmet is a pain).
    And also, Hyperion (or any other wither blade) before Terminator. Any wither blade is the best weapon in terms of versatility, best mage damage, very good melee damage.
    Unlike the Terminator, its damage is great inside and outside dungeons. Melee dps is around, if not better then, the damage of the Giants Sword. Its price is definitely something else, but in the end its worth it.

      ​@@deaddollan6583generally what that's saying is even though hype is way more expensive, term has 2 uses: master mode dungeons and kuudra (and magma boss ig?) While hype is a full on necessity for kuudra (not for any individual person, but someone in the party has to have it), is by far the best weapon for anything crimson isle, is one of probably like 3 items in the game that can 1 shot a t4 sven which is very nice for grinding wolf 9 (the others are dark claymore with an extremely good setup, and 100m midas which is probably the correct choice), a really good weapon for tara slayer though you can get away with something like a fire veil, the best clearing weapon for later floors (spirit sceptre is better if you can one shot with it), the most convenient weapon for bestiary grinding though ss is still hypothetically better, and is nearly a necessity for lava fishing

    I LCM'ed with both OFA Shadow fury and OFA Giant's Sword, i can 100% ASSURE you that the Shadow fury is WAY better, not only the 170m (non clean) price difference but the damage was 122m (Shadow Fury) and 98m (Giant's Sword) , I tested them both in the same run , so i have the same blessings. My setup was maxed Ancient Storm (with slots unlocked , fumed, wisdom 5/legion 5, and recombed) with the Goggles too, and as a pets I used Wither skeleton and Ender dragon (epic).

    I've seen some people who like running dungeons very early on kind of neglect the talisman bag, because the stats you get from buying talismans are minimized compared to stats you get from other upgrades such as recombobulators due to them scaling with catacombs levels and stuff in dungeons, so that kind of justifies buying a Shadow Fury instead of sticking with AOTD while spending more on talismans

    I think it's worth saying just in case, since you mentioned "if you craft everything yourself" when talking about Aspect of the Void.
    While AotV has no requirement to use it does however have a Enderman Slayer VI requirement to craft. So if you wanted to use one you'd have to buy it as AotV or you might end up with an AotE and a bunch of mats that you need to resell when you realize you cannot craft it.

Also can you use 1/4 back stamps with it and average it up to make it more fair. Also plz balance strength and crit damage it won’t change anything bc that’ll be the damage you’ll get with equal stats. I feel that those tweaks shall make more thourough testing.

    • @ModernSoldier

      For EXPLICITLY ghost grinding, I'd consider a Giant's, but you'd have to do a lot of it for the weapon to pay itself off, and it's 1 really specific task that I wouldn't buy a whole weapon for. Unless you're suuuuuper fond of the idea then go for it, but otherwise, an AOTD + Glove + a solid pet will suffice for all the slayers and dungeons you want to do.
      The reality is that you won't be playing melee in dungeons, you'll be playing with an archer setup (but selecting berseker so you don't dupe your archers)

      - Slayers : It's not worth it if you aren't meleeing T4 Voidglooms with high tier Crimson / grinding Blaze Slayer.
      - Dungeons : You lose all of your speed (which is very important for clearing) and a Golden Head / Diamond Head would deal more damage as far as I know.

    Having a legendary ender dragon, 600m-700m in talisman (700-800 MP) and still using an AOTD will not cut it.
    I feel like you did not take into account for the armor upgrades which you will obviously make while progressing.
    You could safely say that a person with such money invested, has around 2b-2.5b net worth and a necron set.
    You would surely have thought about swapping it out for either a Juju or a Shadow Fury or a Giant's Sword. Maybe even a mage set within that span of progression.

    • @ModernSoldier
      @ModernSoldier  10 месяцев назад

      It absolutely will cut it, because you're not going to be meleeing anymore. At that stage of the game the only melee you might be doing is the occasional revenant, tarantula and sven slayer, which you could honestly even get away with a daedalus axe if your stats are that good. In dungeons, you will be using a juju shortbow or a solid mage setup, so yes, the AOTD will definitely cut it.
      At that point you're only using it to "get by" wherever you actually need to melee anything, and hence upgrading to a 200M coin sword is totally worthless and your money is better spent elsewhere.
      I just want to re-iterate that I think you've mixed up the point of this video as a weapon progression guide. This was just meant to be a melee comparison between popular melee weapons, and I will have a formal weapon progression guide coming out over the next few weeks. I will go into much more depth with weapons such as the juju shortbow, the midas staff, etc in there, so don't worry about that. This video is just the melee testing I needed in order to conclusively say "the giant's sword is a waste of money, and so is the shadow fury".

    Hm it would be very hard to compair bc you need to inclode pets but the daedalus axe could be a a good candidat as well.
    Since the stats are okay (if you add the effect that it 2x the pet stats) and it has a lot of uses like beeing the best farming tool for mushrooms, max magic find, and 30 coints per kill.
    I think it doesnt even have a combat req. But im not sure.
    Yes it has some downsides like not beeing dungeonizable and you need to have a high taming level but still it is quite good and maybe overlooked.

    • @ModernSoldier

      The daedalus axe is absolutely an amazing out of dungeons melee weapon, but this is usually only applicable if you have really good MP and other stats to make it worthwhile. Objectively it's much worse in raw damage & dps than the weapons I tested in this video, hence why I didn't cover it.
      This video is more designed to help early to mid game players make better decisions when upgrading their current melee weapons, but as a late gamer, you can definitely get away with a dae axe as your main weapon since it's something I do myself

All you need to do is buy the cheapest talismans you can afford, and then once your cheapest upgrades start to be around 15M per talisman, you recomb your legendaries, epics, rares, etc. I have a video on how to increase your damage which details buying talismans a little more, so I'd suggest checking that out if you still need some help (it's my 2nd most popular video, I'd link it, but RUclips will delete my reply)

    I think selling aotd and dragon fuse glove to buy a sf is better. It really depends on what you need. If you already bought a ton of talismans and the rest are very expensive then buy SF, if you dont have any talismans get those. Since on your profile your aotd did around 68k damage and sf did 91k. But on my profile all the weapons I have tested have no enchants but have 5 stars, fuming potato books, fragged for SF and aotd had dragon fuse glove. Aotd did 85k while my SF did over 140k. I don't know if it is my setup or armour. But I think it really depends. But I do agree GS is not worth it since my GS did around 160k. Aotd is really good for its price however dragon fuse glove is like 10m rn.

  • @cubeit8722

    This guide is a bit weird for me at first bcuz every progression video I’ve seen so far starts out with aote, raiders axe or aotd then working towards getting livid dagger and shadow fury. But considering so many updates such as crimson isle with the equipments, the aotd with the right upgrades could literally be an endgame weapon . Upgrading from aotd to wither blades is pretty weird but regardless, absolutely love this video, sort of a up-to-date guide to increase your dmg as mid to late game player.

    • @ModernSoldier
      @ModernSoldier  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah I totally agree with you here, it's strange to see the AOTD become a 'starter weapon' and then be useable until a necron's blade. Realistically the only thing before that is an AOTE or the basic Weapon Merchant swords (undead sword, spider sword and end sword), but I wouldn't count those because they're kind of temporary weapons you'll replace quickly.
      The AOTD is strong enough to do everything you need it to at an efficient level, and will get outclassed by weapons such as the juju shortbow/midas staff depending on what you use for later dungeons. For strictly melee purposes though, you pretty much just jump straight from aotd --> necron blade
