#NovaDrift #Chimeric #Pixeljam
For the record, that was 18 Double Taps and 6 Grandeurs. Glorious.
In this episode, Lee gives in to his spicy side and gives James a heart attack for an hour.
Jimmy asked for it
Another method of getting enormous damage scaling on the Swords is to go Siege Weaponry. It's spicy too, but there's a LOT less investment, and you can take a different Body gear.
Engineer with Defense Drones is a solid combo to support it with.
Edit: and Courser/Swords/Temporal Shield = Crobat. Who knew?
it works
Nearly made it through every video before you hit 500 episodes of Nova Drift. Congratulations, you have grown so much in skill. Who needs strafe anyways.
Lee don't need it, I'll give ya that. But it is a lot of fun to miss out on.
Probably my favorite Nova Drift video in a while!
Honestly I want to see a sword build based around phantom strike and a bunch of double taps now. The flurry of blades going off every ram was really cool, and I want to see what happens if you invest in it.
The only problem with that is how wonky the phantom blink is. It really likes to put you just out of sword range.
We still want to see it.
@@MsHojat Could you make it work with Omni Shield and Gemini Protocol, so you'd be taking damage against a relatively tiny health pool, but still have a large shield to actually defend yourself?
@@NickCombscounter this with rampage. Since it faces you towards the target, you just thrust in. Sure you may miss like 2 swings, but when you have 20 others and crash into it again for even more, it becomes a non-issue.
This build is my first million point build (only 40k from 2 million) and I only just started playing 3 days ago lol (my 2nd place run is only 400k lol)
Crash builds tend to be my favorite so far, with a simple Hullbreaker/Pulse being my first Sunbreaker kill, and this Phantom Strike/full crash/Burst Sword being my first million+
Since you are looking for fun things to do with swords, you should try the targeting tree. Does nothing to the swords really, but it turns the sparks into psudo sharks. Throw on more projectiles, and they can easily fill the screen with sparks on a good swing through some projectiles.
Then, there is of course the build you dont want to hear. Strafing strikes can ramp thesword damage considerably just from strafing in the same direction over and over. Turns battery into something akin to hullbreaker.
Awww look at the tiny health bar. He's so cute!
What's wild (hehe) is that you didn't even take support specialist.
Strafe (minutes): 0
Prerequisites (taken / appearances): 0 / 3 (not banished, miraculously)
In this episode of Nova Drift, Lee swings like it is the sixties again.
I hope he has a safe word in case someone starts biting.
@@NickCombsAYO
It’s only 10 minutes, and I’m already in tears from laughter 😂
Now Lee's gotta name "Chaotic Ambition" into Opportunity.
16 minutes in and the video is already a rolercoaster of emotions!
Thanks for listening! Didn't even think to use research!
did u guys noticed that the more damaged the swords, it starts to appear cracks on them until they fully brake?
6:14 For decades I thought the AC/DC song "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" was actually singing "Dr Jimmy" because of how bad their diction was.
Scared james is the best james. The noises that come out of this man!
It's pretty funny, Swords With Barrage and temporal shield was the first thing I've tested. The defence felt pretty amazing!
OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITIMG FOR THIS YES!!!
50:18 this Bulwark should know never to read the *comet* section, it will just make you angrier.
I am quite impressed, Lee. That was the most amount of wild mods I've seen yet. Well done.
The two sets of swords behind the coursed is really nice looking
Pairing with barrage literally the first thing I did
Dang Leonardo and jimmy really took over there
A very ''Wild'' run ! I wished you took more challenger to reach perma booooost :D you really had the chance to make this very special :D
The Railgun Messiah goes CQC, the Four Bladed Angel rises, and Jimmy can't even.
This has been my favorite build you've done in a long time.
Neat! So, now that we can make the bullets dark...is it time for the return of the Black Hole build? Since now it can be an ACTUAL black hole?
James: (Jimmy Mode) Just don't get shot, It's just that simple
Something else that blades can do: Hullbreaker Apotheosis. Normally, taking Apotheosis on Hullbreaker is probably the absolute worst decision you can make, for... incredibly obvious reasons. But with Blades, it lets you essentially get the damage and aoe of the higher tiers of Celestial Lance without any of the self-damage, and do hullbreaker stuff without worrying about crash or knockback at all. Plus, it's the perfect build to name the "Sword Saint" build.
Honestly, I'm not particularly creative when it comes to Nova Drift. With these new swords, I think my favorite go-to has just been the usual Research setup to get enough Evolutionary Niches that switching to Engineer results in having three sets of swords instead of just two, and taking Charged Shot for that sweet burst damage. (Bravado and Ataraxia-5 help a LOT with this.) And finally, both Phantom Strike and Outrage Module, which runs the risk of dying by exploding rammer enemies but lets you just bump into something and instantly give it the Bury the Light treatment. (Though then, I tend to take a mix of offensive and defensive upgrades, and in this situation it's almost always leaning fully into stacking hull strength and regeneration rate via normal mods but banishing things like hypermetabolism.)
Finally, the General Grevious build I've been asking for!!!
this build is peak "while you were doing X, I was studying the sword"
I dub this the General Grievous Build.
i still love the icarus/daidalius run that happened here. wish we could get engineer wing blades, but it's such a fucking pain in the ass.
Wow, that's pretty busted.
I never noticed the shield recharge effect, I thought it was Last Stand going off.
5:38 What's more of a forbidden technique than OBSESSION, so long since I've seen it taken
those swords did a lot of defensive work to be fair. they DO block projectiles and at that high rate of fire with four swords you block a lot of bullets
Yeah for that reason they are pretty great paired with defense drones for that arc barrier.
This one’s going in my Favorites playlist.
You could have banished normal mods when you had one reroll, a rule of thumb is to NEVER press the reroll button when there is a mod to banish.
Wow that was a lot of double taps, what is this, zombieland???
That looked really cool, I miss swords! Nice to see them swingin and swishin again but BARRAGIER
I feel like Architect is one of the best bodies for swords.
5:00 respect. A bit drastic for game but respect
13:05 The weewoo is strong with this one.
Okay, now do the space vacuum crash build with death blossom swords. The normal version is hilarious, with swords it would be even more absurd.
You are a nice team to watch and listen.
Awesome episode, guys!
World record speedrun: Blink percent
37:42 - "The entertainment value alone... I feel like that's worth the price of admission. Which happens to be free, because it's just RUclips."
I feel like there was a missed opportunity here to shill:
"If YOU would like to pay admission though, I have a patreon, link in the description." >D
Also, unfortunate end. Maybe less double taps in the future. >D
We've seen the Crazy James build.
This is the Crazy Lee build.
Forbidden sauce has been acquired
This was definitely one of your more interesting builds and all those chaotic ambitions at the start did some interesting things to the mod pool. ... I don't think Grandeur is supposed to show up quite that frequently. It does make me wonder about two different builds though.
First, how would blades handle Siege Weaponry? The basic interaction should be the same as this build, but it's also interacting with the ramping damage in an odd way, since it's converting the speed you'd normally gain into damage instead. Would it result in a slower damage ramp, allowing you to maintain it for longer?
Second, if you get an early Chaotic Ambition, how far can you push the Grandeurs? What can you do to minimize, or mitigate, the your continually decreasing speed and how many free levels can you pull out of it?
Leonardo is in full form today I see.
Did anyone else notice how death blossom wasn't triggering on the shield brake for the swords or is it just me?
Oh I wasn't paying attention to that. Got a timestamp?
@@NickCombs 38:45 had a death blossom, it’s just so quick it’s hard to notice while mid-swing
@@markereyes Thanks, yeah I had to watch it back in slowmo.
Ah, alright, so they did have it. Could of sworn it was different. Like, didn't the swords pop out all around you and swing at one point, or is that my imagination as well? lol
I had to go so I skipped to the end, and I only heard “he got bit and beat her up” and I’m immediately assuming it’s the slap chop guy
Build idea: Sworm
Leviathan+swords
Swords protect the leviathan from bullets, it's 2nd biggest weakness.
Such a daring build, and I personally felt there was a lot of luck in those first upgrades! One lil missed opportunity was Overclock! (Edit, no overclock doesn’t like swords), awesome build play indeed!
Overclock specifies 'non-weapon' constructs, so it doesn't work with swords. That's why I didn't take it! :D
@@UltraC oH I see now, you have foreseen it and so had mr developer guy!
For a spicy build, the run was 'Stoinks' =)
31:40
That's... that's the second level of transmogrification...
And this feels like the opposite of a speed run.
"i dont swing often" well technically... on average you swing often!
12:40 No, the reason to take Bravado is because bigger enemies = more XP = more levels. You wanna kill more elites and be higher level by the time wave 200 comes.
I honestly havent laughed that hard in quite awhile.... TY for the laughs..... also Jimmy really came out hard today.
I had a thought. not something Lee and James can do though. I wanna see a TAS Pacifist run of Nova drift, how long can you survive with perfect reflexes and a pure heart.
I get the feeling that Lee believes that removing wild mods from the pool is going to help with the Chaotic Ambition overload. It won't. The number of wild mods stays the same, there's just a smaller pool to pick them from. And if there aren't enough, you get Voids.
Are you sure? I feel like if that was the case I would have seen a void in this video. On top of that, I had so few wild mods in the pool that I was still getting regular mods during a transmogrification set (which I would imagine would show up as voids if what you said was true).
"The Void is a special mod that only appears naturally in the mod pool once the player has started exhausting all upgrade options."
If you have to exhaust all options, it will necessarily show the available options if it can.
Oh yes, I'm sure. That happened to me. Although maybe this has been changed since last year.
Transmogrification is a different matter from Chaotic Ambition. @@UltraC
oh my i love da foridden builds
I know they only affect the reflected projectiles, but could homing, splinter, snipe and those types of mods make those reflected projectiles dangerous enough to be worth it?
Yes they work quite well, they also do well with ricochet which makes me happy
So here is my question ... if you modify this build very slightly to use engineer and all the EvoNiches alongside the double taps ... could you get a third pair of blades to give yourself a permanent slashy bullet shield?
And allies
Having been playing this build for little bit, had honestly thought it had already been done. Granted the research banish did some solid lifting. That being said, have we found out if it's possible to get 6 swords? Been trying to get an facehugger kinda build. With all the swords and the no clip super mod. :D
I tried this build just based on the title. Wish I’d watched the video first. I ended up grabbing anti-matter rounds late because I thought, “Oh that’ll look neat.”
It was not a good idea.
This channel is one of the few channels I would actually pay for patreon but financially I cant 😪
Funny you should mention that. I just subscribed to their patreon today. First time I did it, too.
Battery also gives you extra swords
That's true. Battery would've been more damage and hull while courser is more thrust.
Courser ROF: +10%, DMG: -10%, CRASH: 0, HULL: 100, THRUST: 140
Battery ROF: -15%, DMG: +15%, CRASH: +50, HULL: 125, THRUST: 75
You figured out my secret!!!
I wonder how well Swords would do in a mortar spam build.
This could have been a pretty cool leviathan body transition, sword snek
the price of admission is the ads we made along the way... huh?
the double taps all connect
So, I'm a little late to the party... what's the "best" sword build right now? The one to try out first in the new update?
Huh. I tried to avoid using burst fire (the mod itself) in order to avoid the annoying delay but apparently stacking the double taps does the same thing. I did not have barrage due to this.
Anyway what I ended up with was basically unleashing a storm of seemingly 100 sword strikes to the enemy's face then a ridiculous cooldown.
What SHOULD work... would be the other wild mod of which the name eludes me. The one that adds another projectile. Assuming a sword counts as a projectile.
Theoretically what would happen if you could get a bunch of those at the same time? Is that doable? Would you use barrage (and therefore one burst fire) with that or just use it on its own? I'm not sure if it would add sword attacks to the sequence or just hit with more at the same moment.
I'm not even sure if that particular mod is stackable.
I wonder if this could be my build obsession for the next month. Kinda tired of shieldbreaking dying hearts with wave
good one!
I tried garage swords, it didn’t go like this.
If it did,would’ve taken so man grandeurs
Can you show us a build with swords with double taps AND multiple swords (without barrage of course)? Would love to see what happens.
That would be awful
@@TrevorD19 maybe, only one way to find out
@@aldrichreborn9145 he showed that before this. Double tap slows the rate down so muxh
The ORA ORA ORA ORA build lol
I'd have taken the challengers when you got the build going, you are clashing swords, can we get a rollback some time to see if you can get to 10 challengers?
I have to ask...once you have aderaxia and reliably see the double challenger whats to stop you from gaining tons of levels?
Besides dying to the challengers themselves? The fact that every level I take double recursive mods my total health goes down until I explode. :P
Because there are very very few builds that can survive, let alone beat multiple challengers at once. Especially as the challengers can be bosses. I tried eight at one point. I did not survive.
yall should really play void crew. it would be great for co-op.
I think going with hullbreaker would have been a better idea.
Mortar blade will make blade more interesting and question will enginner get more blade if you take enough evolution nieche?
🎉🎉🎉
YOU HAVE TO TRY COURSER WITH SWORDS PLEASEEE
We did... in this video...?
Is 45:15 when last stand popped
Why did you banish Defiance!?
Yo C-uys, why don t you try the BEErrage build? just shark build but slow projectiles and ALL projectiles (convergence helps), with burn damage, splinter and warp shot are kinda core to make em look like a swarm, it will BEE a swarm (ye i know those jokes sucks but ye) heavy calibers for the BEEg and nothing else, just look at the BEEs BEEing mean and attack your enemies
also optimizing is amp, but BEE is halo
edit:
it has BEEn checked: BEEld has BEEn done in 2019... it s BEEn a while... i swear i stop
Do a build with the starter body and weapon
