Thanks for explaining more about the engraver. I’ve got over 8,500 power powder and lots of shards. I boost all 12 statues for every daily Ops. I will definitely be using the shards and power powder on the engraver. I clear my map everyday and play all the events. I usually reach well over stage 100 on the MegaCrab. Being able to add statues to the queue has definitely helped too as has the Boom Pass.That’s how I gain so much pp. I’m really looking forward to seeing exactly how the engraver works. I’m hoping any bugs get fixed soon.
Thanks for.this. Appreciate your putting all of the time into researching all of the ins & outs. On a side note I never before realized that a defender's RLs would take out his own critters from critter launchers. It even looks like they all targeted the critter at around 11:26
It wasn't the RL that killed that critter. One of the zookas reached its position, turned around, and shot the critter. You can even see the zooka that killed it line up the shot on the far right of the pack.
I don't think triage is bugged - it's probably just round up instead of round down. So half a scorcher return will be giving you a whole scorcher. Just like gunboat energy, for example when you have 53.1, it gives 54 instead of 53
rally maybe a fun one - 0.6% is a small boost, and if you sacrifice a boat of rifle then that's just 0.6x30=18% speed boost for the remaining troop, might as well just pick adrenaline instead; however, if sacrifice all 8 boat of rifle, that will give 144% speed to hero, likely bullit, that will be interesting to see
QQ - maybe dumb questions but 1) once you research something, do you have to “activate” it in order for it to help? As in having researched stuff does not help unless you spend power powders to boost? If using PP is required, how long it last when you use either the immediate or time limit option? Also once you active one how do you check that the engraver is actually adding any stats?
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it better to get the quality upgrade instead of the token? Each quality upgrade is 10 tokens and more later on so just getting 1 is worse, even if you get the choice of which engraving has better quality.
Just got the update and I'm updating one account, I found one visual bug your loot counts are wrong when you win a battle it's saying you won like 6 million coins or resources
If you research 4 at the same time and #4 cost 30 shards; will the reward (green arrow points) be higher, compared with a reward that’s invested of 5 shards? Is it worth to spend 30 shards for research, compared with 5, 7 or 15 ?
sabotage may or may not be good, depend on how it calculates - if it's multiply, then great, that's just 1/3 less blue health or dmg, but if it's straight minus, then it may still be useful in main base, but will be absolutely useless against operation where ice boost is 3 or 4 digits
@@quantustremorestfuturus5434 I didn't test it myself, but I heard it's multiply and thus really good - sabotage and armor is probably the best one at the moment
Hi Zmot, thanks for the Video! I still don't understand some things about the engraver, maybe you can help. Can you still Research a boost if it is active? What happens if you reach a quality Limit, but not the next Level? Do you get tokens instead of quality increase?
I confirmed 100% (LOTS of shards/diamonds on the dev build) that you can research/improve an engraving even if it's active. It's basically impossible to hit a quality limit without hitting the next level as you'd need like 80 tokens to do that. Triage can be at 24% of lost units if you have max quality but level 1 (compared to 10% at level 1 with quality 1). Great questions and took a bunch of time to answer but hopefully helpful.
@@MrBlackNorton True, but that might cause some issues to those defenses like the laser ray and flamethrower that deals less than 100 damage per shot, or even every defenses that aren't even leveled up enough. For exemple that lvl 13 rocket launcher on torrent doesn't even deal 100 damage per shot (without boost), so it kind of overwritted the whole calculation for some reason, and no damage as a result. They should put it as a % decrease value instead of fixed
@@MrBlackNorton Yes because lvl 18 RL deals about 110 damage per shot. 110-100 > 0 so I guess that's why it works but is very slow, while on the OP the RL deals only 70, 70-100 < 0 which probably can't be done as you said so it messed everything up. Would be even more funny if it heals the troops
A, B, C, D are just like the grades we get in school, S i think stands for Super or Supreme and then comes worse versions of the subject as you go down
Ah now I see what you're asking, sorry without context I was a bit lost. It's the standard ranking system: www.reddit.com/r/CrazyHand/comments/51miz9/tier_list_explanation/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_list
Uhhhh... my mind just couldn't get past the confusioness (if that's a real word) of this new building stuff 😵💫😵 ...maybe I get it soon as I get this building 🤔🥱
Our simple little game has become complicated. Great to see progress with the game.

if that's the case the bigger units will greatly benefit from it.
Triage is magical for people without IT, already updated 10%😊
thank you for the video!!
Thanks zmot, very informative. I don't understand the wording for alchemy, is it just a 40% resource reward or whatever the percentage is? Thanks
I have another video which clarifies and shows examples but it just evens things out. Nothing fancy

Many thanks for this. Great reference info. Let the doubters doubt. They’ll come around when they get blasted, over and over. 🤫
I wonder if life leech works for critters? or bunker troops
Leech engraving does not work on critters. Bunker troops it likely does though.
I take it back! Leech works on critters!

Any engraving must be activated to do anything. It stays activate until you turn it off. You can only have one active at a time.
Don’t say anything about the rocket launchers!!!!!!!Snitches get stitches!!!!!!

Accurate-ish. So many layers we still need to figure out and not a lot of details provided sadly
Does Armor works on prototype weapons? It looks no, but it is nowhere mentioned, which is weird.
yes it does, shock blasters do negative damage for example
Just got the update and I'm updating one account, I found one visual bug your loot counts are wrong when you win a battle it's saying you won like 6 million coins or resources
How many engraver we can use at one time
1 slot
This is my update! I safed 11000 Powder and 20.000 shards. Should be enough to max it.
my brain is fried. to complicated to even consider doing anything with this engraver.
Spend 5 shards, read which ever engraving gets unlocked
If you research 4 at the same time and #4 cost 30 shards; will the reward (green arrow points) be higher, compared with a reward that’s invested of 5 shards?
Is it worth to spend 30 shards for research, compared with 5, 7 or 15 ?
Same rewards just more expensive
Alchemy is the most useful while upgrading it changes the resources you get to the one you most need.
Yes, Hq27 players don’t do a ton of upgrading 🤷♂️

Indeed. And so, which is it?

@@MrBlackNorton it's strange : a laser with negative damage... still damages the troops. Flame throwers don't seem to
Watch my latest video.

Will the boosts work on Warships?
The word is no
I also thought that armor would be meh. It surprised me. I can't wait for this update!!
a flat -100 dmg pretty much make flame thrower and machine gun useless, just alone that make a lot of options available
It'll be great for warriors.

I think rally would be extremely useful in close quarters attacks like warriors and zookas.
warriors I can agree with, not sure on the zooka side as they tend to go poof a bit more
Does interference affect delay or just dps??
Looking for sliderule!
Finally something that can eat up my shards, got almost 3000
The statue boost applied to the -100 from armor maybe?
Yeah I assume it boosted in the wrong order
How to enter the dev build zmot?
Get 5000+ subscribers making boom beach content.
@zmot I understand, thank you.
@zmot So will Supercell see me if I do this?
With leech and Armor alone, youre damn near immortal. Thats insane lol
Can’t use two at once… but yeah it’s good fun
I spent months to convert most of my shards just because the trader doesn't trade anything else than cristals at some point 😭 WHY
What’s SABCD stand for?
🤷♂️
A, B, C, D are just like the grades we get in school, S i think stands for Super or Supreme and then comes worse versions of the subject as you go down

Finally i have a way to spend my 200 life shards 😂😂, now i just need to get my hq to lvl 27 💀
Maybe the engraver makes psc statues worthwhile again
no shot, offensive statues boosting critters, etc way more useful
Really hoping this update comes out tomorrow
Tuesday is the most common day of the week for updates to drop 👀
👍😎💪
How can I get this please?
Of course. Update your game.
👍👊
This is confusing as shit.
13:52 CRYING HELP 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
imagine if RL heal the troops now
Checked, even with negative damage no heals 😂
Why am I just now seeing this video?? RUclips needs some work 😂
Welcome to the thunder dome!
boom beach dev team is broke
they add more ad LOL
