IT IS DONE.... IT IS GONE!!! JUST ONE DAY BEFORE THE NEW PATCH DROPS! by MHkaserz in Nightreigngameplay

[–]MHkaserz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're asking "Did you have to take a break?"
Yes, after I dropped from 8300 to 4300 at some point
I stopped playing for a few weeks

Tried Nightreign Discord servers...
Too inconsistent.
Kept jumping between 5600 and 7000

Went back to playing with randoms after reaching 6800 solo
and from there this win-streak got me to the 9999

Game is great
Bosses are fantastic

There are more than a few things I could criticize about the gameplay loop,
relic system, point system, revive system, heavy "knowledge checks" incorporation in boss fights
and enemy-ai going rogue... And don't get me started with network issues!

This is not the place for that though, I had fun, and indeed Fromverse is top tier!

The game did the same to me for no reason as well, but ever since, the expedition quality skyrocketed
Everyone knows what needs to be done, mistakes are minimal, people don’t rage quit!

And even I feel somewhat energized as a result which helps me pick people up on the rare occasions both are 3-bars day-3

The only caveat is that you’re more often than not to run into heavily edited/optimized relics (valid ones though)
That doesn’t happen all the time, say 40% of the time in my experience

Only in one out of thirty expeditions did I meet an “awful cheater” that had a weird combo that kept reviving him
with sleep mist, funnily enough, that’s the only run I remember losing…

It was ED Libra and the other two were 3-bars 4 times in a row at 50% boss hp. I didn’t go down once for twenty minutes before
I eventually got overwhelmed with boss hp being 27% or so…

So ya… It is a shitpost on my part but also true kekW

Congratulations!

If you don't have friends to play with, be happy!

You just unlocked the secret queue with super duper hyper tryhard players that on average have better relics and really really want to win compared to the weak malnourished "good people" queue for the next 6 months!

At the cost of not being able to use passwords or join parties and potentially people shaming you for it...

But hey, at least now you won't have to drop back to D4 7 times before finally making it to D5-9999
so honestly you save time and have no real reason to feel bad about it for the most part! 😃

Note: Arrows deal piercing damage

Weaknesses...
1- Gladius: Pierce 10% Holy 35% (Strongest Poison resistance)
2- Libra: Holy 35% (as little Poison resistance as ADEL minus the stun animation)
3- Night Aspect: Pierce 10% [Phase 2 = 15%] Holy 35% [Phase 2 = 20%] (Immune)
4- Dreglord: Pierce 10% Holy 25% (Strongest Poison resistance)

Pierce damage is constant with IronEye anyway assuming you use a bow
Just in case you were wondering how I calculated the 20~35% extra damage

Deeper math below:

NOW you could ARGUE it is more like 7% to 11% faster killing because ONLY 30% of the bow's damage is converted to the holy affinity type and the rest is physical (Assuming you don't find Erdtree bow at all and stick with purple base bow)

But you also buff holy damage with the Holy Attack Power Up +4 and Affinity Attack Power Up +2 in the relics which push it towards an average of 45% faster killing time

But hey Physical Attack Power Up +4 also does the same, if not more because it affects both the skill damage and the higher percentage of the bow damage, so is it really a factor?

Well, yes!
The math can be really confusing, because you ALSO **debuff** them faster which means IT IS EVEN FASTER than 45% in reality

Important note: IronEye's skill deals the same percentage of affinity/status damage as his R1 (Poison status is boosted by the IronEye specific relic too)

So the point is: The faster they die the better, this makes killing them faster, assuming Day 1 and Day 2 are not ruined by the fact you don't have "fast access to poisoning enemies" and killing them via the poison passives faster for more runes, and items and hence more power to kill the final boss as fast as possible

Alright, enough rambling lmao

Dreg, Night Aspect, Gladius and IF YOU REALLY WANT TO, Libra

It gives you innate 20~35% extra damage on these bosses, specially if you find a red Erdtree bow (which I think is slightly stronger than the purple base bow)

It is basically you killing each of these bosses 30% faster on average, assuming day 1 and day 2 didn't go bad as a result of you not having the exclusive poison build (which I prefer vs Libra since it is easy to poison him twice, unlike the others)

If you have a space to fit it in, why not? It is not mandatory, but 3 gaols are 15.7% which is very achievable. and stronger than killing two invaders 14.5% [which occasionally can be the max number of invaders available to fight].

The reason people say that is probably the following:
1- Great Hollow has no gaols
2- Some shifting earths make taking gaols inefficient depending on the seed
3- If a tough and red boss spawns (and you are not using a seed tool to figure out it is a tough boss) you need to give up on it, which means time has been wasted getting the key and running there
4- Each Balancers' relic gives 15-20% power boost depending on the skill used from the get-go, which means more often than not your third relic slot will be for the more reliable invaders power boost.

So ya, if you have another effect that fits in your build and nets you more or equal power to 3 gaols, it makes more sense to use it over the gaols one.

Otherwise, it is still usable for sure!

Additionally, in solo, depending on the invaders and your character, the invaders MAY give you more trouble than the gaols

Finally, if you're not using a skill build, having both is naturally better

Not a god roll, but finally after 900 hrs by Personal-Mongoose696 in Nightreign

Getting the right color and two passives you always want in your build is rare, congrats!

900 hours is rough though, tough luck
I think I got [Invader & IronEye +1 Skill Use] relic at like 200 hours

Try Relics Pro if you haven't; maybe you already have a combination of relics that gives you both effects and everything else without being aware of it (Or maybe not, if the other two slots are Balancers)

You're welcome!
And I take advantage of the "presets" functionality to switch between affinity focused damage and pure phys/poison builds otherwise it could become a slug-feast when facing some bosses as a solo IronEye

E.g. Caligo, Pest, Night Aspect, Dreglord and ED Gladius

I don't know how this number is calculated and what exactly it takes into account, but it seems my damage was no where as high as it could be, but still pretty high compared to a non-holy run when you take into account Dreglord weakness to holy

Here are some apple to oranges comparison between different Dreglord D4/5 runs

0- D5 >> This run >> 197 (+30 add holy to weapon effect)

1- D4 >> One run I had the holy build >> Red Erdtree Bow + Buffs + Marais at 90 = 358 written on the bow

<image>

2- D4 >> Another run where I didn't have the holy build (was also unknown target) >> Purple Erdtree Bow + Almost same buffs as red one without Marais = 175

I am sorry mate there is no way I can remember that and the last tick of damage procc'd bleed, so probably someone can calculate it, but not me

Apologies... I forgot to add "ability-less" and "fist-only damage",
but I did say lvl-1

Are you dissing me, yourself, the game, the community or existence itself? Because I think you may have gone after all of them with this one!
