This was a very difficult video to make, and I made mistakes: The evasion discussion is in the Act 2 decklist, even though you get most value from in it Act 1 imo. Exact same problem with the Vitalizing Serenade. You can see the rest of your deck while Tracing, it just takes a work around of clicking on yourself and scrolling to your deck (clicking on the deck icon does nothing); this can be very useful in deciding what to discard. There are many jump-cuts, because the original footage was well over 75 minutes long; I cut out the most egregious babbling and coughing. Thanks for your patience. Many, many times I said Grukli when I meant Yogger, and vice versa. I did the same with others as well. A list of the different payoff cards for each archtype: Tank: Blur, Ballad of Evasion. Support: Chant of Accuracy, Ballad of Conquest. Healer: Vitalizing Serenade, Sweet Melody, Healing Serenade.
I'm too lazy to switch to my deckertech acct atm, but I buggered the act 1 combat. I can guarantee the last 5 cards by: Scavenge deflect, Vigilance, Setup. That finds the adrenaline to pay for the vigilance. Thats how i played it out in my practice run, but I was not top form recording this vid. (And talking while playing is always a difficult process).
@@suikodin2501 There seems to be about a 45-47 second difference around the items discussion; you could do what I did and just have two tabs open, one with sound on and one 47 seconds away with the sound off lol. As always, much appreciation for the great guides and strategies.
Thats a youtube issue atm. The video is actually not set to public right now while it gets fixed. Looks like it's actually been resolved now, should be synced again.
whenever i start a new run, i almost always come back to your videos as a reference point - your level of knowledge and detail is amazing! i'm slowly working my way up to m16 and your guides have always been such a lifesaver and given me a new appreciation for different kinds of builds. if you have the dlc, i'd be super interested on guides for the new heroes if you have the time but ofc no pressure - mostly just wanted to send some love your way. thanks for being great :) ❤
@@deckertech-aaron i'm so sorry to hear that, i hope from the bottom of my heart things start looking up for you very soon :( please take care of yourself and take it easy. don't feel pressured or push yourself if it takes longer than january or anything like that - your personal life should always be the priority and we'll be there to watch em whenever they come out :)❤
Really cool guide. I wouldn’t have thought to use him as a front liner, or as a support over Gustav. It is crazy that his trait and all of his level ups seem useless for the roles yet you found a way to make him work just based off his speed and starter card.
Hey, love the guides and explanations they really helped me with making fun and cool team comps. Just wanna spread love and show support towards the channel, and I hope to see more content about the Sands of Ulminin.
Excellent videos. I enjoy your content! Have you thought about a video outlining the most beneficial nodes or best nodes for each character to visit during a playthrough?
I've toyed with the idea a few times. I just think I might miss some and not sure how I would structure it. I might re-do the "where to go" guide and try to mention 2-3 places for each character in there.
Still love the AtO guides, you really made the game great for me giving us all a starting point for the characters You could try doing build videos for other games, your style is easily the best and easiest to understand
thank you! trying to get any traction with other games has been a struggle. I plan to keep bouncing between ato guides and other games for the next bit and see how it goes.
Great guide as usual! I'm curious, aren't we able to sneak in a Flask as well, for the Dilute/Baptism combo? Especially with that Adrenaline, we should be able to afford it, mana wise (maybe turn the Setups to blue version late game as well), and it would be a massive DPS increase for just 4 cards played, between your Scout and Healer
I have a video dedicated to that combo, so didn't cover it here. I should have mentioned it in passing at least. You have to skip the ode to war and celerity to maje a flask happen consistently, and have a mana item to double flask ( best baptism combo). ruclips.net/user/livex4aL-SpIi2A?feature=share
Yes, you have to be much more picky with what you keep in hand/play, or use a 0 mana setup instead of 1. I used to do only M16 vids but found they werent inclusive enough for new players. i really need to remember to mention what changes on different difficulties. maybe I add a section after act 1 combat to address that in future vids. You will also likely be skipping setup altogether for shards if you dont get good divinations. you can keep a zero cost slash if you get a 'when melee draw' weapon, or find a couple similar combinations to dig a little deeper for cheap. Good luck with your runs!
I don't think Cloak of Speed gets worse when you corrupt it. It changes from "combat start" to "every round", which means you'll still get the fast charges before you start your turn. Compare the wording to Gloves of Agiliy, which change from "combat start" to "every turn". Unless they really messed up their wording/templating, it means for Cloak of Speed you'll still benefit from the fast charges every round.
I can test it again, but last I checked it didn't happen until my turn start, even worded as 'every round'. That said, there might have been a ninja update that fixed it that I missed.
@@deckertech-aaron Then it is definitely a bug. It should have been changed last patch from "Every turn" to "Every round" with the intention that it is no longer a downgrade when it is upgraded.
Yup, thanks for pointing this out, just tested it and see the change. It did not work this way previously. Obviously I overlooked that patch note. Or my bad history with upgraded cloak was just a stronger memory, haha. I'll add it to my notes or pin your comment. Thanks again!
@@deckertech-aaron No problem, I don't think it was in the patch notes. At least I also don't remember seeing it, I just remembered there was a discussion about it on the discord a few weeks ago :)
Just started watching this video on a train, as my headphones ran out of power So i though "autogenerated subtitles it is" Well, seems like yogurt and yoga are busted, while grouply will deal the dmg Alright, understoon Guess ill watch it later that evening

life has been super hard recently. dlc guides are still on my list, but it might be as late as January? these sorts of comments absolutely help me.

@acevisconti4047 Same for me and my friend, when we play we allways watch Deckertech's guide it realy helps a lot right now we are on Madness 6
@@deckertech-aaron Im sorry to hear that, take your time and most importantly take care of yourself
I cant wait for new guide to come ^^
Thanks for the guides as usual, if you ever have any recordings of your runs feel free to upload them.
bro ive been searching for this!! so many top players playing andrin but you havent had a guide on him as support! thank you!!
Thanks!
Thank you! Both the kind words and tip help so much, more than I can describe!
Really cool guide. I wouldn’t have thought to use him as a front liner, or as a support over Gustav. It is crazy that his trait and all of his level ups seem useless for the roles yet you found a way to make him work just based off his speed and starter card.
Your videos, as always, have been unbelievably helpful!
Thank you! I stress over them sometimes, so this is super great to hear. Good luck!

ulminin content is definitely on the to-do list. it's being backseated by a struggle to survive, but I hope to publish rhem sooner > later.
Thank you for these, I'm slowly creeping up the madness. I've just beat m11!
Congrats!
Another educating guide, thanks for your effort!

Cheers. If you find a Last Reward, no need for mana item anymore, since thats the best way to double flask imo
As I'm practicing Andrin based on your act 1 combat, I'm realizing it's much more challenging on Madness 16 with only 4 starting energy instead of 5.

haha. the combination of fake names, games terms, and my inability to pronunciate... rip subtitles.
Love your guides but need to admit the do do doo singing is extremely annoying. Silence is better.
Noted

i could also live with less do doos :) thanks for videos btw
