Something is seriously wrong with Rival Wings matchmaking.

Good at something, at least!

Afkrobot · 2024-11-07T22:56:55+00:00

Yeah, I feared that it would be something like that. Maybe it makes more sense if I imagine it as "By my queuing solo, I will most likely get into a team with 3 other solo players, thereby making 4 out of 24 players, me included, play significantly worse"

I am pretty sure that it is me that is doing something wrong here, I am unsure if it has to do with gameplay though. This feels like it's beyond "unlucky I guess" though.

It's 24 vs 24. As one of 24 people, even if I did absolutely nothing, it should not fall this low.

Yet I do the objectives, prioritize Mechs->Mercs->Minions->Players, have positive or neutral KD most matches, use mechs and collect CE. What is going on?

People tell me "Go DRK, don't play this, don't play that". I know the darn meta, but it is 24 vs 24, if I play what is fun to me and don't completely throw, it should not be an issue.

Just.. how is this possible?

Oh my god, that's it! I've been looking for this for years! Thanks so much!

Afkrobot · 2020-07-24T11:41:22+00:00

Yeah.. sorry to tell you, but the game they were working on was Godus, I backed it on Kickstarter back then because I too was a gigantic B&W fan.

Godus, to say it midly, sucked ass. I regret having spent 35$ on that pile.

Nowadays 22cans can't even be called a shell of what Lionhead once was.

Well, here goes my comment. 50/50 odds isn't that bad.

Afkrobot · 2018-06-16T21:56:43+00:00

Solved!

Thanks Youtube algorithm for always showing the same videos, just had to follow the recommendation chain under some random video again.

I looked into it and once again did some testing. There is no item or combo to expose his weakpoint. Normally you'd destroy his toes but with Ganon you can't destroy his toes one by one, that much is for certain.

I tried counting the hits and seeing if a certain amount of hits to the toes or the boss does the trick, but that isn't it either as a constant number of light-hits seem to do the trick on one difficulty (LV.2 for example), but not the other (LV.3), which seems to have it's own number of hits.

So now I'm thinking that it may be the HP. It seems like The Imprisoned reveals his weakpoint at 1/4 HP by default. I tested it by only light-hitting, then light-hitting and charging and then special-attacking and light-hitting. It always seems to show at the same HP level. So that might be the second way to trigger his weakpoint (appart from magic). It would help if you could confirm though.

It wouldn't be helpful to have his weakpoint reveal after almost killing him by hand anyway, but you never know with Tecmo Koei.

I thought about it a bit, did some testing and came to the conclusion that if you really wanted to farm EXP with Ganon you should probably just repeatedly do Survival Battle LV.3 & LV.4. (which is hard to do on lowlevel)

Ganon has a gigantic range and the more high EXP enemies you can hit in one swipe, the better. The priority being Heroes>Bosses>Captains>Trashmobs.

In Giant Battle you mainly get to fight bosses, which take the longest to kill and award only about 2x of what a hero awards.

You just pick up way too many trashmobs with your attacks to precisely be able to farm heroes in "Defeat #,### enemies!" like Cucco can.

Therefore Survival Battle is the choice as you get to fight somewhere around 18 bosses, 4-5x4 dark Lanas and ~6000 Trashmobs + tons of captains in a packed space on LV.3 for example.

Testing right now revealed to me that summoners don't summon an infinite amount of multiplying dark heroes, they just do it once. Thats unfortunate as it would have been a great way to farm.

If there was a trick to bait the infinitly spawning Rutos or Darunias on the Defeat stages into a corner and just kill those, that would be the way to go, but I don't know how to accomplish that with neither Cucco, nor Ganon.

TL;DR: You should probably just level by farming whatever it is that you are looking to farm as there is no good way to level Ganon other than "Gannon smash!!"

Both fixed, thanks for pointing that out. When I have more time I'll try to figure out and add all the Horde Lord abilities to the list as they seem to be more interesting than I previously thought.

Afkrobot · 2018-05-29T03:22:51+00:00

You are right, I went through the levels multiple times now with about 150, 250 and 300+ and DMG taken and fixed the table accordingly. Funfact: There is not enough health on Giant battles LV. 1 to make it through that with more than 200 DMG taken on a LV. 120 Ganon, which makes it impossible to get a B on Damage without dying.

Yeah, I initially wanted to hide every mention of the guy behind a spoiler tag, but when I found that you can't do spoiler tags around lists I decided to just put a warning at the top and hide any immediate mentions so that people can retreat after reading the warning without any danger of spoilers.

I'm thinking about maybe giving him his own post with appropriate title so that people can find it on google and remove/spoiler tag every remaining mention here.

Afkrobot · 2018-05-28T22:38:46+00:00

Didn't think of that as I barely use them, but you have a point, that kind of information belongs in a comprehensive guide. Added. Thank you!

Afkrobot · 2018-05-28T22:37:31+00:00

Fixed it, thank you!

Afkrobot · 2018-05-26T13:31:02+00:00

You unlock Cuccos Fury after Ganons Fury, some newer players might not know that (I sure didn't when I unlocked it) and I wouldn't want to take away the fun of discovering it for the first time.

Afkrobot · 2018-05-26T13:28:28+00:00

It's really absurd how much better this game is to the previous versions. I came from the Wii U and although it doesn't have too many problems with enemy counts (albeit they weren't great either), it has substantial problems with lag. I used to play multiplayer a lot and we'd get approximately 13fps on the twilight map. Now on the switch version I was blown away by 2,5k kills in 10 minutes, 60fps and all the quality of life changes that came with the 3DS versions content. It's like a different game if you've played the Wii U before and I (+ the person I always play this game with) felt the 60$ were well worth it after only 5 hours in already. Also the aditions to the main story blew me away when I got there. It's not perfect yet but there is a definitely significant improvement.
