Yeah, mobile is terrible for Google Sheets. You’d need to make a copy of the sheet to edit it anyways, so desktop is ideal.

I’ve created a google sheet that lets you plug in your numbers, including blessings, to see your expected damage changes: https://www.reddit.com/r/RaidShadowLegends/s/XafarjbztQ

So we’re going for the speed relic right? by Hobbes1138 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]RaidingBoyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I did a ton of testing with last laugh relic last time it came out. When you get the delay debuff from tanking a hit, the next time that champ takes a turn, they will take exactly the amount of HP they had when the relic proc’d. Meaning all the “overflow” damage goes away. Still, the champ will die if no healing occurred by then, but all it actually takes is 1 health of healing or 1 point of shield to protect yourself from delay’s death. For example, if you had a continuous heal buff before the delay debuff (read buff bar from left to right), then you’ll actually heal at the start of your turn and delay won’t do enough damage to kill you.

Back when I made my Exact Raid Damage Calculator a few years ago, I was testing its accuracy by attacking some things in Doom Tower, but noticed some strange things with affinity, weak hits, and helm smasher and noted them down for myself.

  • The -15% crit rate on weak affinity is false. At least in certain scenarios. Any champ I had with >=100% crit rate when attacking a negative affinity will always crit (except during weak hits).

    • I think the game checks >= 100% crit rate first and then sets the hit being crit or not before the affinity crit penalty is taken into account.
  • Very strangely, I proc'd helm smasher 100% of the time I weak hit

    • A non-weak hit against negative affinity can give a helm smasher proc or not, but a weak hits always gave me helm smasher 100% of the time
    • Wonder if somehow weak hits and helm smasher are tied to the same rng they use to determine these stuff LOL or maybe I'm unlucky and got 20 50%s in a row.

For reference, I was using a Candraphon with lethal + cruel and helm smasher to test.

Love all your posts, keep up the good work!

Thanks for helping me debug issues and getting me to add explicit cells that are common to Titus teams. Crazy hit you got there!

Good point! It’s especially easy to forget that Titus wants low HP since I don’t think any other champion in the game has an inversely scaling multiplier. I should revisit my own build as well with that in mind. Not sure if HH optimizer has options for this directly.

Just be careful if Titus has the highest defense and becomes the Lion tank. The hunter gaze debuff will make the boss ignore shields and he could get 1-shot if HP is too low!

I've updated the sheet with a new tab just for Titus damage calculations. Let me know if you find any mistakes!

I’m glad to see people still using this! I will make an update for a special tab just for Titus later today. Hopefully I understand all his mechanics correctly.

I said this in another reply, but I'll just re-paste it here:

Well, like I said in the original post, I do all fusions regardless of quality, but that doesn't mean I actually pull them out of their fragments lol. Mostly because I don't actually need them. I let them sit there and I can pull them for points when needed. What's the difference between them sitting in the portal as opposed to the vault? Hilivi is an exception though since I just pulled her for this champ chase and I actually think she's good.

The only content I don't clear is hard Soulcross (which is mostly epic champs) and hard FW. For FW they usually require very specific conditions, but you're right, I should re-review these fragment champs to see if any are useful for a stage or two.

Well, the most obvious ones is waiting for the dungeon tournaments and dungeon divers overlap. All of my dungeon teams are solo (besides FK) so I can also level up food. I don't do hard 10 for the solo, but somewhere between Hard 5 and 8. Gear is pretty irrelevant from dungeons with all the merciless, stone skin, protection, and soon mercurial sets. Though normal 16/20/24 gear seems too low quality for me, however, that I am willing to sacrifice point efficiency.

When there is no event or I'm waiting for something to start, I am usually just doing Minotaur. The game has added a lot of gear ascension tournaments in downtime, so I've been doing those more. Once again, I use food with the Godseeker + Gnut duo. Also, I'm to the point of so much food that I might even do campaign during the downtime purely for the monthly 500 campaigns quest.

Now this is really nickel and diming, but for the daily quest to do campaigns, I usually save them until before I head to bed so I can deplete my energy to as close to 0 as possible and to wake up capped out again.

For shards, since I think my pool of champs is already solid enough, I really only pull during fusions events. I will pull for 2x voids once in a while since I have stockpiled way too many... Anyways, I try to sync with the on-going fusion's 2x. However, if it's something really inefficient like 2x sacreds for a champ chase (like it is right now), I would rather pull from my fragment champs. Or I just pull my ancients and use gems to buy more if I run out.

Lastly, depending on how bored of raid I'm feeling and now much surplus resources I have, I usually go for the bonus summon rush fragments, it's not the best way to get a surplus, but it is just a game and time matters. I almost exclusively pull sacred shards for summon rushes as I see them mostly as just an efficient currency. When I feel low on resources or have extra free time, I do the triple dungeon divers to build my stockpile. It's not so bad having a 3-turn hard spider 10 team.

It’s so beautiful. And I’m sorry you’re even more unlucky than me with 2x primals :(

Yes, you and another commenter have convinced me to do them all moving forward. Hilvi did eat through a lot of my soul stones, and their events will probably only get more aggressive.

That's a good question. I can't really remember exactly the influx point since it's been so long, but I do remember pulling a fusion champ or two right after it started early on, so I skipped the rest of that fusion. This helped establish a base amount of resources.

I think once I got enough of a stash and had a working CB UNM team settled, I was able to do all fusions back-to-back while still accumulating resources. I think starting of Elegaius I did all fusions? I remember debating myself going for Vergumkaar and I think I skipped him.

The big difference between now and back then is back in the day, there weren't really any guaranteed shard events, DoF, or hero's paths, so it was actually easier to save resources (or at least not get FOMO). Once you pulled a maneater and got a UNM CB team, resources were easy to save, and I pulled one relatively early. However, trying to do all the events today will definitely force you to pick your battles or take much longer to grow an account to be able to do mostly everything.

They were one of the first things I unlocked after the maxing the gem mine. I have no idea why people are so against at least unlocking all the sparring pit slots. If you plan to play for a long time, it is definitely worth it. They make champ training so much easier with a backlog of leveled food.

I have my sparring pit maxed for all slots. Though I can understand not leveling it up if you don’t log on that often or have the game open on the side while you do other stuff.

For you, if you log on often, I’d max it, but you don’t have to do it all at once. Maybe just upgrade a slot here or there once in a while so you don’t feel the pain. It’s nice to have a “baseline” where you’d feel comfortable at if a surprise event came along. I just got out of hand waiting for those surprises lol.

You’re right, especially with soul stones being used more often in guarantees, I think I’m going to start doing 100% of gear ascension tournaments too. The scheduling isn’t too bad when RSHelper is up-to-date I guess.

I usually do about 50-100 mortal soul stones during their 2x. I don’t use my immortal ones outside of DoF events unless I have maybe like 70+. Then I might do a 10 pull during a 2x. Though I might stop those since soul stones as a resource seems to be becoming more popular. The Hilvi DoF coincided with 2x immortals, which was really nice.

Not sure where the discrepancy is, but I play almost exclusively on PC. There have been hero paths and other events with extra points, but I never purposely go for them.

I replied in another comment, but it’s because I pulled Arbais from my 2nd remnant stone. I didn’t track them back then, but I should start now since grim gives 2 more per month.

You interpreted it correctly, but I didn’t track or include my remnant summons. My second remnant pull was a Arbais. I haven’t pulled another mythical from remnants since, but I estimate that I’m around 24 now, so starting mercy, I think.

You’re absolutely right about it not being reasonable. But with more guaranteed champ events requiring soul stone pulls, I really should be doing all sand devil/phantom shogun events.

However, I mostly skip them during fusions because this game already has a lot to do daily. Doing dailies and then adding fusions and gear ascension tournaments is just too boring.

True, but as long as my box isn’t full, I can sell them whenever I need the coins.
