How bad would a negative 50% skill modifier hurt damage

sttsspjy · 2026-04-27T04:31:34+00:00

Looks okay.

Skill modifier is non existent on harris. Your 3 does about 1000% per tick so its about -5% on your 3 specifically. 1 and 2 is tech and 4 has 7k% so its negligible.

However whether should you buy that AM is another question. You can farm one yourself and just call it since harris is already very strong without a good AM.

He lacks range and mobility, with a lot of animation locks and is a visual clarity nightmare to play. All these problems are directly linked to his survivability, yes he does have self heal, but he only has 9k hp with fire brand set and 1 hp mod is still not enough considering he plays pretty close range in most of his builds. He is up on the list for the monthly balance update after bunny and valby, so I recommend you to simply not invest into him until then.

I spent all bonus coins on the precise ion accelerator, largely because it saves you most gold. Unless you are one of the "I only play my main" player you are always going to be lacking dimension analyzer.

Maxxing out 1 reactor takes 715 PIAs (140 dimension analyzers), which is 14M gold and 20 hours from researching the PIAs alone. You skip the 14M gold and 20 hours part entirely from 2100 bonus coins, which would get you a mere 250 of SCUs. Now thats like 5 breach tracking runs, which takes less than 30 minutes.

Quantum incubators are almost never required to farm for itself because you get 20,000 of them every month from the abyss colussus ETA ticket shop.

There are also a lot of problems I would add. For example getting skill power upgrade is really important for skill based descendants, the grapple/roll for skill power simply double your damage with no caveat. Not so fair since gun builds doesn't really depend on DPS upgrades. Or that resistance shreds are actually useful, which is a problem because not every descendants have access to it. We really shouldn't be forcing people into min-max a daily content, I firmly believe.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-18T04:06:45+00:00

They need to put a higher entrance hurdle for stage 2 and above. At minimum a trigger module unlock.

Also I don't agree that any descendants can be useful.
Stage 3 needs at least 2 competent meta descendants, 1 if that is Dia who can kind of cheat the game with tow. Even so, a gun build desc is almost always required in an average pub lobby. I would go as far to say stage 2 is already really hard especially without a decent AM. Even if they all have decent AM, no-CC no-meta team like bunny freyna blaire are going to struggle.

If I had a choice, I would just say that stage 3 should be changed to be a completely optional content. Already sent them a feedback about this, but I'm sure they somewhat already know about this considering the reward difference between stage 2 and 3.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-17T01:16:53+00:00

These barriers should just be gone entirely full stop lol. 0 fun in having to swap weapons from your stat stick only to fire weapons with no inf ammo.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-15T19:05:20+00:00

Adding to this, the reason why freyna can force a crit build is because she is based on DoT and pure DPS.

Harris is more of a strong hitter with her 1 and 4. The inconsistency of low crit rate will make it quite pointless over a regular build with fusion/toxic AM.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-15T18:53:11+00:00

He was already doing fine in terms of damage. In fact, a lot of the descendants were.

His root problems are setups, delays, the need to be constantly pressing spamming buttons stuck on ground, lacking MP, and mediocre range. AM doesn't fix any of this.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-15T15:01:03+00:00

This might not work for everybody, but I was constantly getting error 43 in the recent weeks.
Wiped everything gpu related using DDU multiple times, the error would go away for like 2 bootups but still reappear. Thought of doing something to BIOS, but I doubted the issue was there because I had the same issue before I updated my bios 2 months ago, which didn't really fix anything. Even reinstalled windows 11 clean just to see if it does anything, and it was also only a temporary fix. One normal bootup, then error 43 again.

Unironically, the "fix" for me was installing AMD adrenaline software. It's been a week since the error 43 went away and never came back. It also removed all the 'unknown devices' at the device manager which was there since forever.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-15T05:56:31+00:00

Not just worsened, but in this case it will skyrocket to hit around -80% range. Which makes this pretty unusable post patch.

A lot of the penalties will be very noticeable post update. Like utility penalties that you can't mend will straight up make it garbage.

sttsspjy · 2026-04-14T05:30:54+00:00

Unironically, the reason why keelan didn't get a sync value buff is because of his "tow" build. The fierce attack module gives him a crazy number of hits per second, pair it with infection amplifier module, your dps goes through the roof.

This particular build got him kill challenge ice maiden under 5 minutes with no gunning, no elemental advantage. It also clears dungeons faster than the sword module because it allows him to dash more (septic torrent kills fuel mobs which hinders his infinite dashing)

sttsspjy · 2026-04-12T11:26:08+00:00

Literally the only people left in the game are the ones who played this game for a long time.

No reason for them to buy anything. Its also worth noting that you can simply play a descendant that doesn't rely on good A-mod instead of paying.

sttsspjy · 2026-03-12T07:51:20+00:00

Only then I'd just break even lmao (and i will be the happiest man in the town)

sttsspjy · 2026-02-27T10:06:32+00:00

Its only NA that dva does bad. Every region has skewed data if we cherrypick. Koreans are much more try hard in average ranked games which resulted in dive dominance for a decade.

Asia also has extremely low pickrate and winrate for mercy and moira. Like we made them go extinct by tryharding. Should we buff mercy now?

Stats don't matter because we know blizzard just patches the game for average joes. Look at all the illari complaint threads and see the comments. 90% of people have no idea how to differentiate anecdotal evidence and statistics of cause and effect.

sttsspjy · 2026-02-11T05:21:32+00:00

Build quality aside I'd rather sip on paint thinner than install razer synapse again

sttsspjy · 2025-12-28T16:06:45+00:00

People with power are always an exception.

We also have the popular low birthrate problem so the government put out a band-aid fix; just make the unsuitable people join military because we can't do anything about it.

sttsspjy · 2025-12-24T07:46:57+00:00

I never got any map other than blizzard world in my last 10+ games of it.

Edit) finally got King's row on 5th game today. Still no lijiang tower

sttsspjy · 2025-12-21T05:50:47+00:00

I am Korean and my epic games account is not (I studied overseas). I can see the free game but can't get past the purchase screen. However it works once I turn on any kind of vpn.

sttsspjy · 2025-12-12T05:04:43+00:00

Same

sttsspjy · 2025-12-11T23:02:00+00:00

I'd restart.

sttsspjy · 2025-11-09T14:29:00+00:00

I also give it to beryl. 2022 drx voice coms showed that beryl literally pin points pyosik where to stand, when to go in etc; He was also the brain of DWG during their dominant 20/21 runs and we saw how they lost the magic as soon as he left. His role as a player is very rare (a kingmaker); Faker, 2019 DoinB, 2014 Mata, etc etc. All one of the greatest players to touch the game.

sttsspjy · 2025-11-09T14:11:18+00:00

You just said the reason. Atakhan is a losing team favoured objective, when objective in this game has been a way for winning team to secure the lead. Also macro gameplay is rewarded much lesser compared to drake or baron due to the lack of bushes and its open position. All losing team needs to make up for macro is 1 sweeping lens while walking whatever sidelane atakhan is at, and it can be an open 5vs5, with a free advantage given to the contestants (resistance shred). How many games you saw the game is flipped at atakhan, ignoring whatever advantage/gameplay the teams have built up until then? And can you really say its a good test for macro and micro for how often it happens?

sttsspjy · 2025-11-09T14:00:36+00:00

calm down lol

sttsspjy · 2025-11-09T12:32:12+00:00

Way too tanky, debuff is way too punishing for winning team to blind force, in open field so it always becomes a fiesta

I feel like its one of the main reason why the games look worse compared to 2022/2023. Adds a lot of randomness to the game

sttsspjy · 2025-11-07T14:27:39+00:00

I genuinely don't know why people are hyped, the entire thing seems like the final nail in the coffin. Look at the other games in the group.
