@@antoniopimpao9645 not yet, waiting for the servers to come back up to do the void rift epilogue and take one last crack at it!

@@BluntgutsGaming Oh, man... Was it that bad? I've spend around 1000 euros myself to get a damn Praetus...

@@antoniopimpao9645 it was not good! Lol, that's all I'll say, you'll need to tune in. Thankfully I only spent about $60 myself

@@BluntgutsGaming You will get him next time, brother.

No worries man, me too! I can't wait to start testing out defenses tomorrow! Thanks for watching!!

Yeah 100%, I think they'll be deadly if you can deploy them properly. My only concern is the low health, but we'll have to see exactly how squishy they are once we all get them

I keep saying "better pulls on the horizon" but they never seem to materialize lol. Hopefully it'll turn around for us soon 🤣

@@BluntgutsGaming I'm not complaining. It would be nice to have Praetus, but I feel like it's not as fun if you can just drop him in and beat anything. I have a challenge to work through this way

@@RytzGaming Yeah as much as I would have liked Praetus so that I could compete, I generally agree with you. I think he's massively overpowered and really stifles competition in the game.

Which ones? Demon soldiers? I use The Fool and the Scalekin Warrior pretty regularly, they're great. Adag's Follower not as much, but who knows maybe he'll have some uses in the new map

🔥

It depends on your account progression. The only place she's really relevant is GD2 and I've already beaten that, but you're right, she's a usable hero for earlier accounts no doubt

Thankfully they aren't as obstinate as Plarium, I love the swift response they did on this

Big things coming! Can't wait for S4 ❤❤❤

Thanks, man! I appreciate you tuning in. I haven't thought about doing a rage regen breakdown, but I can certainly put it in the queue. Some very good info you've provided here 👀

​@@BluntgutsGamingno problem! Looking forward to the video!

Yeah I agree, they need to start communicating these changes to us. People would be far less upset if they had proper warning. Thankfully I woke up to 2 ancient summons in the mail and it seems that they are going to revert the change in future Brave Conquests. I really love that this company listens to the community!

Looks like Moonton agrees! I woke up to 2 ancient summons in my mailbox and notification that they would change it back in future Brave Conquests!!

Hell yeah man, Pope cures all!

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

Me too, but I can't wait to see what you get!!

Yeah that's really rough, I don't normally advocate spending but I might in that case. I hope you get lucky, I'm going for my last shot at it tomorrow night as well!!

Agreed, you don't have to take the fun out of the game to earn more profits

Lol, we suffer together my man

At the end of the day Soulbound should be a bigger damage increase because it's 50% of her damage from all sources, not just damage that scales off of basic attacks. There are definitely some instances where IR works better on heroes regardless, so that could certainly be the case here. Ultimately this breakdown was supposed to be about building with glacier vs. more traditional damage gearing (i.e. hp% main vs. attack% main). I also wanted to show that the way that glacier ancient pieces were statted would limit their effectiveness because they just don't typically (or ever) have the ideal stats. If I was looking to make a declarative statement about which produced the highest overall damage I would have included damage testing in the breakdown.

Omg yes, seeing that gold chest pop up is almost always a letdown! I have over a hundred of each and really no need for even a fraction of that number!! It feels like I maybe get something decent (i.e. Divine summon, ancient summon, Lego skill crystal) at most once a week if that. I haven't tracked it so I can't say with any kind of certainty, but it feels way worse

@@BluntgutsGaming Exactly. When it's purple, at least you know you'll probably have 200 diamonds. Sometimes it's like they don't know the value of their own stuff. I feel like those in charge of that part of the game, don't play the game at all. I wish we could press a thousand skill dust into a skill crystal even if it's only once a month.

Yeah that would be amazing. Having conversion for a lot of the lower level resources into actually valuable ones would take the sting out of a lot of these drops!

Hey Tim, I did not do a full damage test so I did not address the 50% damage issue. It is the main reason, along with the extra stats, that traditional damage gear is going to outscale hp% glacier gear. I did not mock up anything for hp% main stat Soulbound for a couple of reasons. 1. Soulbound ancients can't roll hp% main stat. 2. Soulbound hp% regular gear with solid damage stats are few and far between, they very rarely roll well and even when they do it's unlikely that many accounts have 3 perfectly rolled pieces of hp% Soulbound. Finally, 3. Even in the rare cases where someone has all of these pieces you're still likely to end up around 10-12k attack, which would completely nullify the benefits you'd get from the hp boost. Glacier is unique in that it synergizes so well with her massive HP pool, but I don't think it's viable to be running her at 12k attack regardless of how well those pieces rolled. Basically my findings were that you would be forced to make a decision between big hits from Divine Reprisal (Glacier) or overall higher damage from all of her skills (Soulbound). Regarding Semrah I did not delve too deeply into doing actual damage tests because my initial testing showed subpar damage and I didn't think it would be competitive. Someone in the comments has said they've seen IR producing solid damage which I did not check because her kit doesn't read as having a lot of damage that is based off of her basic attacks, but it wouldnt be the first time that the skill descriptions didn't match with the in-game experience so maybe that's the way to go

🔥💯

I'm not sure, I assume it adjusts dynamically with Max HP, but you could be right! Given the damage increase she gains from the ult it would be hard to parse if there was a significant difference.

@@BluntgutsGaming I will keep testing, with some different alternatives, then. So far, my best damage has come from a Glacier set with 2xATK/1xHP, although I haven't gotten to SA 3xATK yet.

That's interesting, I did not play around with adding attack% glacier to the mix. Keep me posted! She has such weird gearing requirements that I felt it was going to be too big of a task to produce a coherent set of results that would translate. This is the problem with their gearing system - ancients have a preset set of stats that they can roll and non-ancients gear so rarely rolls high that each account may have a different experience with a hero like Jeera

@BluntgutsGaming I've got a series of videos on my channel if you are interested. My conclusion at this point is that how you gear Jeera will depend on what you need or want on your team. She ranges from a high-damage bruiser to a punching bag who will definitely muscle herself into the Tank ranking lists. She can certainly be built to be effective either way, so there isnt a clear "best" option, and that means the GVG meta will get a bit more wild.

Awesome, I will check them out! I'm not really convinced that she's going to be effective in GvG personally, she takes a crazy amount of damage, and absent her A3 doesn't have any way to effectively mitigate it once she uses her ultimate a second time. Even ignoring all of that her block is going to make it way too easy to just run past her, and her one tile range means she can't just be placed behind a defender. If I wanted to counter Jeera I would just deploy a set of Skeletal Guardians and a Fallent Templar then deploy a swarm or dogs to run past her. Her damage only gets crazy when she takes a lot of damage and I think she's just going to be too easy to run past, even if healers can keep her alive.

Someday....😢

Yeah it's an odd thing to do right as the anniversary is going on. Hopefully it's just temporary!

Someday man! I'm gonna have you do my summons the next time he's on a rate up 🤣

@@BluntgutsGaming i got shafted this week...1+1 was a5 kinwza a4 hattsut..not bad but not wanted..nascent got the morrigan i wanted...but ancients...a1 jeera...admiral claw...and 2 lords..a1 venoma on pity and demi..couldve been any pvp lord mainly pope but nooooo

@@BluntgutsGaming i really wanted pope to pair with INIT..i think tgey going to monsters with allistair in gb2

I'll let you know how he looks in a week or two!! I plan to do some testing before everyone starts getting him in about 2 weeks

Better than me!! I came out of this weekend with a7 Alaura, Magnus and Edith lol...oh yeah and a4 Apsan on a random rare summon

Yep, and there are several ancient exclusive heroes that are EXCEPTIONAL there, not to mention lords that really enable different team comps in that game mode. This hurts newer accounts more than developed ones without a doubt.

they didn't create that for new players😂 that's how the game goes! what do you want a week old acc can already do the higher stage event instantly without grinding hard?

I take your point but the issue here is that Brave Conquest was relatively accessible to younger accounts, whereas if they removed the Brave Conquest ancients because they were now providing more ancients via GB2 then that really undercuts younger accounts. Granted this was just a thought I had, and in no way shape or form do I know that that was Moonton's logic for the change

@@datuez4396 I get GB2 is for more advanced players. I’ve been playing for about 6 months and I can’t crack 7.2k on Apoc 1 using both runs. This game rewards players a ton but this was a slap to early to mid game accounts and non spenders.

Hopefully this isn't a permanent change!! Sound off on the official discord, let them know how this will impact your experience imo

I agree with all of your points, particularly regarding whale spending which I think Brave Conquest ancients had no impact on. Ultimately I think less ancients for low spending accounts is probably more impactful to their bottom line if those folks don't stick around in the game as long as they might have. I don't know that this change causes that all on it's own, but if they begin to move in this direction (i.e. less free rewards in general) then it could be problematic long term.

Very well could be - the timing made me wonder if they didn't make as much money off of the ancient banners during the anniversary as they thought they would.

That's right Because I am totally F2P and I got 3 legendary heroes Ajax+Kaede+ Jeera from the last banner. My chances simply boosted from 5 to 20+ crystals a month. Now they deprived everyone and new players will have a terrible time to progress​@@BluntgutsGaming

Yep, thank you for adding this to the conversation! I come at all of my content from an endgame perspective, so I don't see what the rewards look like at the lower levels of GB2. Unfortunately I saw this kind of thing happen in Raid: Shadow Legends first hand and it really drove me away from the game. Over time the points requirement was increased while the quality of rewards dropped. That's why I think it's important that people let Moonton know that they don't like this change, even if it does not get reverted then at least they'll think twice about doing something similar in the future.

@@BluntgutsGaming Appreciate you coming out with this video! The more attention that can be drawn to this the better. I came from Raid as well - one of the reasons I left was because it was harder and harder to accomplish anything without spending. I sounded off on the official discord and upvoted all the others. Hopefully if we make enough noise they will reconsider this change.

Amazing! Yeah that was a big part of why I left Raid too and I do not want to see WoR go down that path

1000%! The only chance you have to buy ancients at a relatively low price, which I'd say is around $3 each, is gated behind heavy spending. Even at $3/ancient long run average means you're spending $150 per Legendary pulled on these banners. ~12-16 per month means that on average you're getting 1-1.5 legos per year from Brave Conquest.

I did not test her thoroughly and there are so many different variables that it's hard to say one way or the other. I can say my Jeera was A0 in Soulbound with triple attack%, and my Alistair was A1, which is a significant boost to his damage. He was also in Soulbound Arcana. Both received inspiration via constance. Beyond that there are a lot of factors that could skew the damage in one direction or another. Some heroes gain disproportionate damage from IR and maybe she is one of them!

@@datuez4396 yeah she can hit extremely hard in the right circumstances!

@@Diego-sp9gp FYI I tried her in GB2 and I was pretty underwhelmed so I decided not to do a damage test and breakdown on her. In a Praetus team she was doing ~33% of A1 Alistairs damage in Glacier, ~60% of his damage in Soulbound Arcana. I think she can act as the tank and fill in as an arbiter body for the Praetus boost but otherwise she isn't bringing a ton to the table. Her big damage comes from Divine Reprisal and she doesn't take damage frequently enough there to have the glacier outweigh the bonus attacking stats from a more traditional damage build. Appreciate you watching!

@@BluntgutsGaming this is in line with what I was thinking but I didn’t want to spend the resources to test it out. I think would be great tho to call it out in the video because all other ppl are just using her for AMR and saying how good she is but tbh who cares about AMR… Right now she is gonna be just sitting on the bench because I have Torodor as tank in boss 2. Your contents have been amazing!

Thanks man! Give her a try in IR, several folks have reported that they've seen a damage increase in that set

@@BluntgutsGaming good to know thx man for letting me know!

@@kosfan4286 it's in the queue, should have an update with magic resist and some spreadsheet updates coming soon! Appreciate you watching ❤️

Still the luckiest guy in WoR haha, I should have you doing my pulls 😜

🔥❤️

Oof, I hope I never pull another Alaura lol. I don't have Edith and I'm fully expecting her or Kai on my Nascent summons 🤣

Shamir is underrated imo, his damage is bad but his utility is nice. Not what you want though 🤕

Good luck! I've got 77 ancients saved up, and I'm very nervous about tomorrow lol. Probably going to spend a bit if I need to

@@thehalf8 Rough! I hope it helps!!

@@ScottDodsonVideo yeah I think that could be a good use. She also ignores defense so she might be quite good there! Glacier set viability will vary by account. Ideally you want hp% main stat and crit, crit damage and attack speed subs on all glacier pieces. It's the crit damage that I struggle with personally, which based on my testing is what really enables the big damage. With about 200% crit I was topping out around 1 million hits in AMR18

Good luck!!! I both can't wait for tomorrow and am dreading it lol...I hope we both get what we want

@@rando56 yeah I'll take it! Good luck to you too bud

🔥 I'm VERY jealous 😛, congrats!!

I have seen more double up 1+1s than ever before this weekend. idk if it's some crazy backend coding, but I have seen at least 70% or more have people getting x2 of the same hero this time around.

Oof, that's rough but at least awakening coins? That Valk soul in the awakening shop is calling to me...

Regulus is an amazing tank and he got great awakenings.

@@LordJustinian20 so that's where my arrogance went!! 😛 Congrats!!

@@luebeckm from your lips to Moonton's ears! That would be amaaaaaaazing
