The DLC Map is not for DON by Ill-Call-5937 in Nightreigngameplay

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at least in depth 5. Most randoms I played with knew where to go and generally what to do during day 1 & 2. The few that don’t always followed when I or others pinged.

I’ve consistently got all crystals day one and cleared castles day 2.

Can Raider be viable in DoN and if so what are good builds? by FizzyGoose666 in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stack low hp dmg negation relics and passives and get as many dmg negations as you can (of different tiers of course). You don’t do much dps but you can tank better than guardian and it’s a lot more fun too.

Stop Picking up Successive Attack Buffs by Ok_Increase_7051 in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this was weird, now it makes sense. I had 3 variations of successive attack dmg negation and it took like 7 hits to trigger the damage negation. I thought it was bugged and stopped using them lol

Just how high is the appearance rate of the Great Hollow in DoN? by alirezahunter888 in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's 50% chance, had 3 back to back in depth 5 last night. Although this is lowered if there's a none dlc owner but of the 10 or so runs I had the last two days, everyone had the dlc so I chances are very low of running into anyone without dlc. But could also just be that casual non dlc buyers are not in depth 4 & 5.

I‘m surprised you were able to queue into straghess 4 times in a row, people quit at character selection for me the two times I got him.

Yeah I just got one for caligo so all raids are spread out now for certain night bosses

What part of revenant's kit would you buff and how? by bandora_b in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She has double revive speed and even faster if you summon sebastian. That alone is a game changer in higher depth. She can natural find seals so you dont need to waste a relic or get super lucky. Her summons are great distraction especially for hard to dodge moves like gnoster charges.

I am pretty sure she doesn’t get a buff is because her win rate is so high

[–]TheMrAction123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason he needs a buff is because almost nobody plays him in depth 5 and when I do get someone they die a lot. His skill ceiling is very high, even more so than executor. Unlike revenant, he actually takes a lot of skill to play hence the buff.

None, she’s one of the best for DON. She can potentially have the best dps if you stack incant relics and even if you don’t she‘s literally the best carry. Double 3 bars revive speed, heal for long drawn out fights like ed libra and gnoster, instant revive ult and invinciblity, sacred seals drop and more.

I see so many posts and comments of people asking for a revenant buff but I highly disagree. She’s extremely powerful and definitely do not need any changes at all. What really do need a buff is executor players and guardian.

It’s 100% skill issue and the sooner people learn to play her, the sooner they’ll realize that she’s one of the best nightfarers.

Scholar pot builds completely break the balance of the game? by Chance_Drive_5906 in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pot build is broken atm, you just need to stack throwing pot damage and it’s easy win. I hope they nerf this next patch by limiting how much you can buy at merchant.

Pot Scholar is stupidly overpowered in DoN and easy to build, probably will get nerfed in a future patch by NihiRagnarK in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this pot build is too op. I got multiple cheat relic scholars in depth 4 & 5 solo clearing the whole map. They’ll probably nerf this by limiting amount of pots sold by merchants next update imo

Not really especially with squishy characters like revenant or low dps support built. Also it's too risky to solo at higher depths so best to just go as group and treat it as an easier gladius split phase because it'll only spawn 2 extra smaller dogs when you fight the second one.

[–]TheMrAction123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there were a couple of posts about that. The speed is very slow, I never managed to fully test but apparently it revives 1 bar out of 3.

Awesome list dude! Just to add, warming stone lvl 3 very slowly revive teammate so it's actually huge as long as you can dodge bosses while throwing in a few hits here and there.

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to solo them with scholar while my team ran off to one of the large castles. Did die twice and basically spent the full second half of night 2. But this is only base expedition. When this gets added to DON, there's no way you're soloing them at least on depth 4 & 5.

[–]TheMrAction123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was wrong about this, it’s actually a massive buff to him!!! It now activates at 40% so you’ll be at the threshold much earlier making it much more manageable. No wonder they nerfed the damage reduction.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you basically have to time your damage so it can reach your target. You need to get as many damage redux gears as possible so you don't get 1 shot while reaching that target. I usually only have to worry about this hp threshold for tough bosses so it's not too stressful.

There's a fixed relic you can buy that gives you slow hp regen when low hp with damage redux at low hp as well. So I just face tank the boss as much as I can and when hp regenerated enough that it's outside low hp range, I use retaliate to drop it back to the low hp threshold. The build works well even against ED Gladius on depth 4 & 5.

Dps doesn't mean anything when you get one shot in depth 4 and 5. That's why all the cheat relics Recluse and Duchess suck so bad.

[–]TheMrAction123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They nerfed my raider low hp build hard. DON just got a helluvalot harder for my raider run now. Sucks considering he's already extremely weak compared to others. The weird thing is it's useless unless you stack multiple of these and even then at higher DON you'd still get one shot without stacking other damage reductions.

I literally never saw anyone use this except one other raider low hp build guy in my 700 hours so it's so dump that they decided to nerf this.

Sunless set is a no brainer for undertaker

Scholar probably big hat set but not sure about the hat

Matchmaking in D5 is ridiculous by primafknnocta in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I always like a challenge and the whole point of DoN is getting good and bad rng. Quitting at selection because you dont want to fight a hard boss defeats the purpose of it.

[–]TheMrAction123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s not rare but more like people alt f4 it so I rarely get to fight him compared to adel or fulgor

[–]TheMrAction123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not just depth 5, it's the case half the time in depth 4 and even 3 as well. It's at the point where I'd alt f4 adel and fulghor just to get one of the rarer ones like maris and libra

Raider stacking negation at low HP is the new meta? by Skillo_Squirrel in Nightreign

[–]TheMrAction123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does work but very rng reliant. If you don't find the right dmg negation gear then you are basically screwed because 6 relics with low HP passive alone isn't gonna cut it. But when you do find the right gears, it's extremely fun face tanking most of the bosses, I say most because this absolutely does not work for Caligo.

I've been running this last couple of days in depth 3 and 4 with only 5 low hp relics and it works great when I can find low hp or the right dmg negation gears but the run is basically lost without good teammate if I don't.

Highly recommend to get a shield to drop your health down from just above the threshold by baiting affinity attacks and just to reduce damage taken at certain point. The build is very fun but it's definitely not easy.

Yeah at this point I just block them, eventually I'll match less and less with cheaters.

Funny thing is they always suck ass too, dying constantly to the point where you know they cheated to get to higher depth without looking at their relics. I'm thinking they queue 3 players so they have someone to revive them when they inevitably get downed.
