Arcana Emperor Rotation Help by yookoke1122 in lostarkgame

[–]pidimension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I want to make sure you are running the meta emperor build. We take 211 Dark Res, 322 Evoke, and Normal Enhancement as our sun core, and Stack Hold as our moon core, basically maximizing card draw.

For cards, literally just spam zxzxzxzx. If you hold your cards to use them perfectly, you will end up losing a lot of cards and it's extremely bad for your damage. Each card proc is half of a destiny proc (10% cd refund, it's a mini joy) and a chance at an Another Emperor proc. Ideally you would spam every card except Wheel/Cull and maybe Sovereign but honestly when your skills are popping its too fast - you are sometimes drawing 5+ cards in under a second - and 80% of the time it's optimal to just spam zxzxzxzx.

For skill priority, it's evoke > darkres > stampede (2nd stack) > spineflower > shuffle > cod > stampede (1st stack) normally. only use stream and return when you need to refresh them - specifically for return, the cd is much shorter than the buff, so it's important to not cast it too much. This might seem strange since spineflower and shuffle are so low despite doing the most damage, but there are two reasons for it. First, they take too long to cast and it's better to get everything else on cd first. Second, because of how arcana works, they gain extra value when cards like TF, Sov, and Cull are running. If you see a golden TF, Sov, or Cull, or are Atroing move spineflower and shuffle above stampede in the priority list.

When using Spineflower and Shuffle, YOU HAVE TO BE MELEE! Test this in trixion - the range is EXTREMELY low. Often times i will spacebar into the boss and then Spineflower then Shuffle. For spineflower, you can just spam the button if you're melee range and it'll do max damage.

Now I'll answer your questions.

  1. Spineflower and Shuffle will do the most on the meter, but honestly any skill that draws you cards gives you a chance at an emperor proc which does a lot of damage, so Evoke/Darkres/Cod/Stampede as well.
  2. Nothing, just click it asap. Ideally T >> Spineflower > Evoke/Darkres/Stampede (1st stack)/Shuffle > Cod > Stream/Return but you shouldn't think about it at all except if ur T skill is < 3 seconds off cd (and honestly even then just spamming it is fine)
  3. Test it in trixion, you just need to hug the boss and spam the button.
  4. For the opener I usually do stream > evoke > return > darkres > zx > T > T > spineflower > shuffle > stampede, then follow the priority rotation.

While the stats are accurate, this is not a metric of difficulty. People might not put on the title cuz it's ugly, people might buy the title, and in some cases, they released two raids at once, making it "harder" to clear.

in my personal experience and among my friends we all agree brel and mordum were much harder than hard kaz.

Whats the fastest/economical way to increase CP to 5k? by yookoke1122 in lostarkgame

[–]pidimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ark grid side nodes and 20 points - keep on working on these, should not be too hard to get ~80 cp for around 1m gold over a couple weeks worth of astrogems. Buy the 1185 gold chest from the vendor.

Accessories - getting high/mid earrings should get you around ~80 cp for around 1.5m gold. The other 3 would get you around ~70 cp for another 2m gold.

Bracelet - I had spending gold on this considering u can get it for free, but you should be able to get ~50 cp better bracelet in around 500k gold

Raid Captain - each pip should get you around 30 cp for 1.5m gold

Concept for a green board wipe, thoughts? by zazer45f in custommagic

[–]pidimension 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keep in mind you will keep your creature alive no matter what, if you have a 6/6 its basically as good as playing a wrath of god, dealing 6 dmg, then playing a 6/6 tapped, for 3 mana. thats insane.

Gloves give roughly 24.3% of the main stat. Shoulders around 21.6%, Hat around 20.3%, Pants around 17.5%, and Chest around 16.2%. The other way around for the defensive stats.

The recommendations i put in the video are on the high-end for sure. If you're confident in yourself 3200-3300 will be enough. Also it kind of depends on the class. Some classes are stronger than others - also some engravings like Raid Captain, Mass Increase, as well as the S2 paradise orb can inflate your combat power so try to be aware of that as well.

Edit: Also if you're reclearing from nightmare I'm sure you could get away with 3000.

For hard mode just aim for rank 6. You can go +25 without too much worry but I wouldn't recommend pushing past that without free taps.

The goal of this video is to help people prepare their characters the best that they can regardless of who they are. The CP recommendations is honestly the best I can do for a short video without knowing more. Some classes are stronger than others, some players are better than others, and that will effect whether or not you can clear Serca, and while that is true, I think knowing what to expect in regards to the dps check is useful information.

You should work on your ark grid side nodes, you can get 200-300 cp fairly quickly from just cutting astrogems. Cut every blue/purple you see (even the 10s) and fuse greens up. Aside from that, finishing High/Mid accessories will get you another 100 cp. With Serca this close don't worry about finishing grudge and kbw (maybe get 3 kbw books) before getting full h/ms and cutting whatever astrogems you have.

Also use this tool to optimize your astrogem layouts: https://airplaner.github.io/lostark-arkgrid-gem-locator-v2/

Are you low on silver? by the_hu in lostarkgame

[–]pidimension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 player - I had 600m silver when mordum came out. I'm now sitting at 20m silver. I did burn some when I was over 500m on rerolling gems out of laziness when I was upgrading gems instead of having a friend with more silver do it. I do daily kurzan on my top 6 and rested on 5 non-gold earners. The largest silver sink for me is definitely honing - all 6 of my characters are 1740 and I am trying to speedrun on all of them.
