Hi everyone ! I did the Overdrive Tower recently on stream and wanted to make a little silly compilation out of it. The TLDW of what I thought of that content was, it just... was a bit of a let down. I'm all for tough/challenging content in this game - the most fun I've had is when I purposely play Fusion characters into Inferno Rider (60% Fusion Res), because I have to be ON TOP of my rotation to achieve the 3* clear. However, these towers were mostly waves of tanky trash mobs, and any difficulty was getting around what felt like character-check restrictions and janky mob targeting rather than mastering rotations while dodging powerful boss attacks, which is really where this game shines IMO. Don't take things too seriously, anyway, this is just a silly stream highlight video :3 hopefully they'll have some more hard content in store for us soon ! See you guys next time :3
Your level 80 Xiangli Yao and Yuanwu with Shorekeeper would've been your easiest clear on right side. The buffs cater to off-field characters, increasing Xiangli Yao's dps by a huge amount. Changli and Encore handle the middle tower well, with your Jinshi and Zhezhi handling the left tower. Using Verina with Changli and Encore would've been your best bet, since Jinshi can handle the left tower with little effort, so Baizhi or Jianxin as your healer would've worked perfectly fine. For context, my Xiangli Yao had the same talent levels as yours but was 5 levels higher, and his liberation was still doing Jinshi level damage in that tower (around 250k to 300k) *WITH YINLIN* instead of Yuanwu. Without Yinlin and being level 80, you still would do around 150k, but that's just pure speculation.
It was pretty fun for me tho, I enjoy the 4 min limit to get 3 star more than the usual 2 min in hazard zone, wish there were more lol. Most people failed to realize that you can comeback to these tower later on when you have better or more built characters, it's not time gated
The issue is not that you can come back soon. The issue is the high specificity on the character and gear requirements. For e.g., the right tower is very amenable to jiyan, an aero character with high grouping and mainly damage through resonance liberation. When do we exactly gain a character like this again? Should we be really waiting that long?
@@tirthgupta4798valid complain, i can only guess the reason they made the requirements so specific is that the game already expects you to have 3 built teams if attempting the mode, so just a matter of which team to use where. This also feels like a premium dps check, but at least its permanent ig. Ur example tho, I mean, right tower is easily doable using Xiangli Yao, and we really only have two of them as dpses of their respective elements rn.
XY is really good, big AOE, easy to play, slow mo, easy to gear. I just got the standard knuckle 5 star and his dmg is really good paired with Changli and Shorekeeper
But still not fun. Any time attack/dps check always not fun and never be fun. 100 waves of enemy or gazillion hp boss without the clock is always better and more fun.
@@yuugael4010 they could try Nioh 2 underworld/depths approach. They have 108 underworld floor and 30 depths floor. each underworld floor is small explorable area with strong boss at the end with better loot and higher drop rate than overworld. The depths floor is just boss rush, each floor have random 3 bosses back to back. each boss have different moveset compare overworld variant.
@@DonQ0 Ah more end game like the illusive realm? so how should they make the boss harder in that mode? should they have the same hp like overworld bosses where jinshi can just one shot them make it not fun since you can brain dead the mode? and you say different moveset you mean gimmick like the unfun double tempest/flying mosquito aix or something like wenut and serpent in genshin where they pad out the time by burrowing underground? the problem isnt more end game, its the balance and sad to say there's really no way to make it fair in a gacha
Hologram is skill check. Toa is dps check. The new hard mode is permanent one time clear ofc it would be a higher dps check. If you want more of a challenge just wait. I guarantee they will add higher levels of holograms eventually.
hologram is arguably a dps check too because of the time limit and the general fact that a dead boss will not damage you trust me if there was no time limit i would have cleared those with a solo half built chixia at lvl 40 cuz thats where the fun is really at lmao
@@ultimate1450 OMG end game requires you to have good damage? Really? Pretty sure if you aren’t a whale you can’t just face roll hologram without any skills. Plus people that are good were already beating it at lvl 80.
@@Maygi After you break herons’ shield, they will eat alive prisms to recover some hp (and maybe they get some buffs too? Idk). So you could use encore at left tower lv1 too
@@greyfox7352 It's in tutorial when you first try TOA, like those earlier floors and sometimes even overworld/ farming dungeons. That's why they got that link thing as an indicator, I first thought it gives them shield but its more than just shields in TOA
Prisms are just such a whack design as they are currently with the damage immunity cause they are just used to completely negate certain characters. Would be better if they just had more res to an element than the immunity. Good work as always Sir.
it's especially a problem since we can only bring 3 characters and they all do only 1 type of dmg taking genshin's slimes as example, they can be dealt with by any character with physical dmg, elemental reactions dmg, or you can even bring one character out of your 4 character slots specifically to deal with them but in wuwa this is just not an option
I only found the middle tower first stage fun cus it finally forced me to play encore changli, and the stage gave enough ptsd to learn their full rotation. Now I know encore and changli is a fun (tho rlly sweaty) duo to play and properly pull off.
I gave up maxing out those just like in Genshin. It takes away the fun of the game for me due how difficult it is. I'm bad and as a light spender I definetively don't make up for my lack of skill with money.
Take your time bro, the hardest content only give like 3% of the reward anyway so you don't miss up much. As a semi hardcore player with S0 chara I can clear most content in half the required time but I can see casual struggling cuz of the high skill and gear required to beat it. They balance the game around F2P but hardaware and skill gap of individual player is too big
@@kayyam9959 You actually got 400 astrites until 15/18 doritos, more than that just give out credits and exp bottle. Its permanent anyway so just go into it after you maxed out more characters.
take your time, remember it's permanent content so you can come back to it later when you have more characters and who knows, maybe you will also get better
It's funny comparing this with the coop event right now. I much prefer the latter lmao. Though tbh as a mode that just exists and I assume they will add more and more floors to with layouts favoring various units, it's fine to just kinda have there.
The right floor is actually easiest for me with fully built XY and Yinlin 😂 I haven't try the left floor yet coz I didn't have Jinhsi, building San Hua RN.
Honestly, I love the character design in WuWa, and I do enjoy the combat...but I find the boss designs to be annoying, and TOA walks a fine line between bullshit and interesting. PS. Why does Aix still have an invisible kill box post twin tail lazer beam attack? Shit's so stupid. Went back to try out middle of Overdrive Zone...who the fuck designed that shit? I'm spending more time dodging than I am fighting, and if I try to execute my rotations I get frozen out of them. Fun fun...
Honestly it would have been fun if it wasn’t for that chamber. Without strong crowd control the prisms easily wander around and it’s hard to manipulate them because of their randomness, this combined with the auto targeting that doesn’t favour selectively going for specific enemies and the presence of different prisms makes it feel really awful. I think I’ll clear it with Jinhsi XY Verina, XY’s AoE damage consolidation is very good and ngl the team doesn’t even feel as bad as I thought, I just need to work a lil more on XY’s damage (he’s using the new 4S weapon from the 1.3 event because I don’t have any better and I prefer to not talk about his echoes lol).
@@RenoKyrie tell me that by trying to compete in PGR with kamui, fire karenina, physical alpha instead of bianca stigmata, and all the powercrept characters or even the 4* units (5* in PGR, but yeah) lmao. Powercreep is a real issue. I wouldn't be surprised if v2.0 for wuwa added a new rank and introduces a new 6* unit and yall would be here acting you have the best devs. Crazy, aint it?
You do you but just saying that TOA is not everything wuwa has to offer. But if you give more importance to the endgame of a game then nevermind my chat 😊.
When the fuck is Kuro going to add more modes, they even fucking took away 1 mode and added this worse version of ToA. Guess we'll have to wait until 2.0, hopefully they add 2 modes or more because fuck man, minigames and events are not what I wanted from this game.
getting 24 star is still very easy if 30 star is too much for you who cares about the extra 200 gem/2 weeks. You can still get 95% of the game reward as casual F2P player. Even GI who has easier content still have plenty of people avoiding abybss 12 and teather which is just 3% of the reward anyway. Feel like a waste to stop playing such a great game just cuz you get intimidated by the end end game
Just say you dont play lmao.. This overdrive is not locked with time and you are free to fight whenever you want and its only a one time thing Using this as excuse is not making any sense

Your runs are basically gacha themselves cause you gonna have to crit a lot.
I feel you so much on the tower. I don't wanna pull Jiyan or Yinlin either. :'( So much character check.

I felt this. They were just damage sponges that felt a little lacking on the tech side for me.
Because fighting against a timer can only go so far before becoming annoying.
It was pretty fun for me tho, I enjoy the 4 min limit to get 3 star more than the usual 2 min in hazard zone, wish there were more lol. Most people failed to realize that you can comeback to these tower later on when you have better or more built characters, it's not time gated
Exactly, i just went for 9 stars astrites and then im gone, wish they add more astrites someday

For people like me, who don't like Jiyan's playstyle and don't wanna pull him.

according the the powercreep theorem, we will get units capable of overshadowing jiyan soon enough i wouldn't worry about it
Put a little love into Xiangli Yao, he will give it back lol
SOON TM...

He and changli are easy swap team
You are giving gameplay suggestions to the ALL KNOWING
@@duck730 the all knowing skill issue kekw
I enjoy these videos. They are really entertaining.
My conclusion from watching this video is that I made the right choice to give my Jinhsi 100% CR.
Fr, every dps with huge single nuke I gave them more than 80 cr like Rover and XY but still missing crits regularly 😅
Not 100% is 50/50.
There is a saying in Epic Seven about crit rate if it's not 100% it's 50%.
@@artsoloer Therein lies the problem. I wouldn't be saying this had I not seen my jinhsi miss a crit THREE TIMES IN A ROW with 70% crit rate.
@@Kyugorn Well would you like to see 80% 3 times miss then? :')
Tho I had seen one with 97% still miss so I can lower my expectation instead
I mean someone did it with the free character so max your skill lvl and build Sanhua guys
free characters with full 5* weapons even some limited ones yeah
But still not fun. Any time attack/dps check always not fun and never be fun. 100 waves of enemy or gazillion hp boss without the clock is always better and more fun.

It wasn't limited time enough, so I can guess the devs wanted more training wheels for upcoming wuwa players
Keep doing this pink angel, its so funny 😂
7:50 Malding session 😂😂😂 this is why I stopped doing hard content I get tilted too easily
I’m just glad I don’t need to get 100% to get all the gems
Jiyan and XIANGLI YAO's teams are best for the right side tower
YOUR ENCORE IS SO GOOD HOWWW, MINE DOES LIKE 6K FROM BASICS..
you can let the birds eat the prism that are immune to your dps
YOU CAN LET THE BIRDS WHAT
@@Maygi After you break herons’ shield, they will eat alive prisms to recover some hp (and maybe they get some buffs too? Idk). So you could use encore at left tower lv1 too
Aaah so that's why the birds go to full HP again in my run lol.
Do they write that mechanic in the abyss description or anywhere?

Your baby-like ranting make this even funnier 😂
YAAAAY Maygi video!!
i just finished the overdrive tower today LMAO i was struggling with no jinhsi, zhezhi, or jiyan
Yep it is a DPS check.
I just watch for maygi noises hahaha
at the very least it wasnt as bad as the time you tried clearing inferno rider with a fusion team
Prisms are just such a whack design as they are currently with the damage immunity cause they are just used to completely negate certain characters. Would be better if they just had more res to an element than the immunity. Good work as always Sir.
Don't worry these games make a problem and sell the solution, it will come

I also couldve beat this with 18 if i build Xiangli Yao, but i refuse. 15 will have to do.
it was so fun for me. 18/18 already.
truly those pesky spectro cubes is so obvious troll for Jinhsi players 😂
Me: (10PM in the evening)
*FCKING CRIT!*
Ah yes, the no crit gremlin, a true representation of cuteness over power.
I love it, the new override tower
i mean i would love them to be more aggressive with smaller health pool, At this point ToA is just a massive dps check.
I only found the middle tower first stage fun cus it finally forced me to play encore changli, and the stage gave enough ptsd to learn their full rotation. Now I know encore and changli is a fun (tho rlly sweaty) duo to play and properly pull off.
Encore Changli is some of the most fun I've had in this game !! Glad you were able to have fun with that one :3

you can do it with enough well geared 4 star characters. aim for maxing the main dps ones like yangyang and chixia so you have multiple elements.

Can't believe that people are really out here with this many built chars. Day 1 player and Im just finishing my 2nd team
I would have built teams if I wasnt spending wave plates on echos (dumb decision) honestly.
Day 1 player too, never refreshed for waveplate and I've got 4 teams built kek
I'd love to use jinhsi on the 3rd tower as well but I don't have zhezhi to deal with the spectro cubes and verina/yuanwu aint gonna do it :]
