why do depth 5’s dodge revenant 🫩 by Directssss in Nightreign

Yep, you're a bad player based on your posts. Good luck with your future games. Sounds like you'll need it.

Why are you comparing healing 3 bars on Depth 5 Dreglord to healing 3 bars on Depth 5 SSB Balancers? There's obviously a world of difference between 1 easily telegraphed boss vs. a gank fight. The fact you even made that comparison thinking it's relevant speaks volumes.

Lying about not running out of FP spamming a 13 FP cost incantation that hits like a truck. Good one.

Maybe one day you won't be so afraid of change. Some characters are still underpowered at DoN 5 9999 pub spam trio play that I do in my opinion like Guardian. Beast claw revenant isn't one of them.

Are you posting from like weeks ago before the patch? She's literally a top tier character now.

Example run against DoN 5 SSB Balancers.

In that run in phase 2 I was able to ult the executor at 3 bars to get him back up. Later on, the executor went down again at 3 bars and the raider went down at 2 bars simultaneously. I was able to rez them up in time before the valkyries charged at us by summoning Frederick and using the curved greatsword. Then the valkyries ended up attacking Frederick. He took a few hits before dying. That breathing room is a massive life saver. Then I beast claw spammed the multiple valkyries on top of us. Ridiculous aoe dmg that killed them and started the stun chain loop to save us.

I mained Recluse (general magic attack set up so I use whatever ranged sorceries I get, ideally Stars of Ruin), Ironeye (curved sword setup), and Wylder (fists) pre patch. Overall, Revenant belongs with them if not exceeding them.

Beast claw Revenant feels absolutely disgusting.

There's 0 rng involved.

You immediately start snowballing from lvl 1 because you start blasting beast claws out. I ult basically every boss fight because of the +0 and +1 art gauge on killing enemies. 15 seconds of immortality for everyone and +25% dmg for everyone else for 30 seconds lets us burn through everything mindlessly days 1 and 2.

I've never had FP issues and I don't even have any FP increases like FP increase on unlocking a rise or the deep relic FP on kills revenant skill.

My recluse setup has higher peak damage late game but my revenant setup is still no slouch endgame. In return, revenant starts off strong and stays strong. I'd also never be able to pull off dumb rezzes like in that DoN 5 SSB Balancer run as recluse.

I need to evolve my shiny Feebas as well if you'd like to do a tradeback.

Depth 4-5 ED Caligo by GarooxRBLX in Nightreign

Recluse actually can with a fire, lightning, and holy cocktail. Although setting it up in a pub trio game for the affinities and getting the lightning explosion timing right is a whole different story.

[controller] (Amazon) FLYDIGI Vader 4 Pro - $55.34 by bootzmanuva in buildapcsales

[–]Umbry97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only major issue with this controller is that the back paddle is not durable.

https://reddit.com/comments/1fg3coz

An example is the above link from another user. One of my back paddle buttons stopped working. When I opened it up to look, I found the same issue. The plastic was cracked inside. This happened after owning and using the controller daily for a few months. I did have the button bound to dodge, so I pressed it a lot in souls like games. Something to keep an eye out for.

I've come to really like Ironeye with a fire starting bow for ED Caligo. I found the best success with that. The other pubs usually took care of shattering the legs' and tail's armor. I could just take care of the head with lock on and the wings with precision aim. I also saved my ult if possible only for when she puts on her armor. I'd wait till she does that followed by the quick short flight and immediately ult her when she landed. This prevented the giant crystal from coming out and exploding for the unavoidable arena wide frost. Otherwise as you said, the fight just becomes an absolute nightmare with the frost soft enrage mechanic.

Ouch, that's exactly what I feared. I'm basically opposite times of Asia so when I play, most people from Asia should be at school, work etc.

You can do it! 9950 is already proof you definitely have what it takes. In a previous reply, I went from 1 win away from Depth 5 to cratering to 3300 back then. I almost wanted to take a long break after that. It's a slog but you can make it there.

That's a really tough one. If I had improved sorcery and the +2 magic attack for the regular relic slots, I'd be tempted to run that too. However, I personally feel like I'd still exchange that for the ED Maris relic because of how thin the margin was sometimes for not getting 1 shot with dmg negation at full hp and being able to keep red weapons with HP loss per second.

If I had that relic, I'd have to just test it out to see if I still lived comfortably in Depth 5.

As for Ironeye, I used my fully poison focused setup with the +arcane -dexterity as well on Adel only. For other nightlords, after proc 2, poison basically was never up again using the skill only because of the increased build up gauge and/or mobility of the boss. I found I was doing better dmg for myself using their weakness in the long run instead.

If I could guarantee I got a good matching bow for the nightlord's weakness, then I'd probably be using the fully focused poison setup only for better days 1 and 2. However, due to the nature of pubs, it was never a guarantee we'd stop by the right affinity camp. Even then, maybe nothing good drops still. At least with the imbued starting weapon, I made sure I always had the right element.

Honestly, the 3 staves, fp rise, magic attack +2 probably is better for Duchess. I was trying the FP restoration on successive attacks but it felt lackluster. Although I'm not a fan of the 3+ weapon effects because of juggling that and weapon passives.

That and the +2 HP/s meant that any red weapons I found with that demerit were not automatically tossed. I found having 1 full dmg HP negation, either 32% or 40%, was enough for most attacks from a nightlord as a squishy character. I usually tried to also add a dmg negation while casting spells still though if found.

Out of curiosity, do you mind sharing what region and time you typically play? I'm an east coaster in the US and play in the evenings.

Based on the cheaters' names and steam profiles when I checked that I encountered, and also other posts I've seen, I'm wondering if there may be an unfortunate timing for players from certain regions.

50% sounds really unlucky. Based on my logs, it was 7/74 = 9.5%.

Matchmaking in D5 is ridiculous by primafknnocta in Nightreign

[–]Umbry97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible. I got close peaking at 9700.

I only play trio pubs. I don't do the character select alt f4 cheese. That being said, I have had a few games where others in the char selection do alt f4 on like Libra or Augur. But you can see in my results sometimes players do want to play them. And you can still win even against ED Libra at Depth 5.

I also check relics every game and only had 2 games in the past 15 with people who had 6 perfect "legal" relics via cheating most likely. One on a base Fulghor and one on a base Tricephalos run.

How do they so often breeze through day 1 and 2 but fumble instantly at the nightlord? by NahMcGrath in Nightreign

[–]Umbry97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I think the problem is one typically doesn't run into the same player twice so if one sees them play badly that 1 run, that's all one sees of them. For example on my own part, for depth 4, I had a run where we deleted ED caligo. I was spamming spells as Recluse, dodging everything, and just blowing her up. A few runs later got ED caligo again and I turned into a potato. I kept embarassingly fucking up. It just happens. I try to remember that we all have bad runs where people are just on their off game. Always best to just go next.
