As someone who plays way too much geist and is my single best character, here is my comment on the 'farm isn't a big priority with geist' when you max out her bomb you should start steamrolling every bit of farm you can find, she can easily mid game snowball off of this. one bomb at a lvl 1 camp and leave it auto clears, clear the lvl 2 in seconds, some lifesteal and do lvl 3's. You can easily get 30K+ ahead of everyone in the game in no time
Yep, kind of suprised at putting it off so much when Geist becomes an insane steamrolling farmbot once the you get lvl 3 bomb, silence on drain is nice, but does not matter as much during mid/late when most of your fights are teamfights and silencing one person will usually not win you said teamfight.
Would you recommend avoiding gun Geist and just sticking with a spell build? I like clicking heads but as a newbie I've been having a hard time in lane, especially.
Of course, geist is one of your best characters, the character is a total balance error, literally a fracassed caracter, it is obvious that you and anyone will play well with her
If you build around her 3 she feels stong later at least for me. Get some lifesteal and spirit armor to mitigate self-damage and just spam 3 with surge of power and you can straight up take 1/4 enemies health like every 3 secs.
Can you share the build brother? I recently started playing her and I can already see just now that her 3 is strong but I haven't found any build that is based on it yet
Agree about ult, just because it can be good doesn't mean it will, I play her to just harass the shit out of teamfights with maxed nade, shards, and alchemical flask. just forcing them to play the ground is lava. if her ult had just a single meter of extra range it would be so much better, the times ive died trying to use it and they are a tardigrades pubic hair out of reach is annoying but i don't want to drop improved reach on it over the nade.
@@73j1 Warp stone is good if you play around the ult and rely on it, outside of lane I will never deliberately tank damage just to use the ult because of all the damn cc, nukes, or procs that can happen in the time it takes to pull it off, to me it is solely a "no u" button if I get jumped. I'm not dropping the money on a warp stone for an ability I'll use maybe 3 times a match post lane stage. Bottom line, if an ability needs an expensive item to be functional, it's not a good ability.
Ive been going a hybrid Geist build with berserker, intensifying magazine, quicksilver reload and eventually frenzy. Late game you literally can never run out of bullets and with enough stacks from your 3rd ability your bullets will do hundreds of damage each. You can do all of this while still running Leech, Improved Burst, Mystic Slow, Surge of Power, improved boots, healing booster and so on. Can literally 1v11 (if no mo and krill)
Agreed, she's an absolute menace. Played her for the first time post update and immediately dropped a 15 kills 18 assists game. You can play her two ways, either as a frontline fighter or as a backline harrasser. You can actually chip away at her health from long range by spamming your abilities, and then sneak up on the enemy and ult. That way enemies will have a harder time seeing the ult coming.
Nice! You can cook some cool builds with her. Can't remember the name of the item but t4 green thwt lets you blink to an enemy and silence them, works out great so you can cut distance and ult em
this worls specially good if you are on a solo lane but can also work on duo. If you just won a really close 1v1 and have ULT don't base. Stick around out of vision and surprise your full health opponent with instault and burst him to death again. Works amazingly most of the time
Her gun is actually one of my favs in the game. A magnum pistol with high velocity bullets + high damage, easy to shoot heads. Just a lil' old lady, prowling the city with her shiny magnum. Rarrr! *cougar-claw (haha)
I use her a lot, and i think shes great. The problem with her is down the line when more people understand the game she'll be a lot more difficult to be good with. Right now since she isn't used a lot and its a lot of newer player, when people see her low health they dive her. Its so easy to bait people when youre low health and do an HP swap with the highest hp tank or person near you. A lot of times ill see a haze jump me and ult,. ill wait a bit hp swap, 2, 1 then shes dead. Down the road people will be smarter and people wont dive her, or be aware of how short range her 4 is and will keep a safe distance. Shes a bully in lane, but i just see her being not as viable once people get better at the game.
5:10 True, but you can get off a kill on one or 2 of the 4 with your ult usually late which I think still has a lot of value. Turning getting caught out into a 1 for 1 trade is cool but not as flashy or mega impactful as some other ultimates. I think her low cooldowns on the 1 & 3 though make her ult fit very well in her kit since if you do manage to get the ult off you're definitely going to be able to pop off a few more big chunky hits before you go down. Neat character!
Every time she ults me as infernus, it doesn't matter because his ricochet with spirit or bullet lifestyle with leach just can't die it feels like w/o stun
@arnlaugr with ricochet, spirit or bullet lifesteal, leach, and other life steal items (including the 1 upgraded), it is hard to out lifesteal an infernus. Even with a knockdown to delay the infernus m1, he can still start enough dots to usually survive. Early lane is different, he is weak early on because it is hard to get lifesteal strong enough for cheap and he has a harder time starting his dots, especially without ricochet.
@@arnlaugr I'm curious, does healbane make geist reduce her own healing? The item says causing spirit damage reduces healing, it doesn't specify enemy, and you're doing spirit damage to yourself.
seems like my kinda hero, usually not the best but still capable if the team isnt feeding. I could imagine haveing a lot of fun testing out builds on lady geist
Gheist is a top notch pick, if you fall a bit behind you can just def and farm the shit out of everything you see until you catch up. Late game you can easily do 30k dmg in the last 10min of the match aswell.
Geist does have an awkward kit, her 1 and 3 are the best artillery mage in the game. Her 2 with some range kind of works, but the low range ult is funky af. Basically I just hold ult until I'm being dove by someone. Still think it should be split into two characters
2:25 I'm a newbie, but would it have been a better play here to buy healing rite to stay in lane instead of backing? I've heard it's kind of a grave sin to back early in the game. Though I suppose with two picks it's not that big of a deal, right..?
In my last 10 games or so, I got at least one kill with my ult right after getting it. I presume my MMR isn't the highest, by baiting people to chase when I'm on low HP, only to hide behind corner and ambush them with ult worked for me every time.
If you play geist again Mast. I recommend getting echo shard after surperior cooldown. Your farming speed goes way up. Double bomb, or double silence is disgusting.
Hey mast, just want to say love your videos and your vibe. Keep blasting and I await your next video :) also it would be awesome to see some losses or times you lose lane.
Mast would it be to much to ask for your build at the beginning of the game during your sound intro? I would love to see what you think a final build would look like if you got that chance.
Personally ult is just the button i press when im mess up my positioning and get caught, but thats simly cause i play her as AOE poker. Simply sitting bit farther throwing 1,3 with spirit slow.
I feel like the reason her gun feels kind of bad is that the velocity just feels low to me. Shes one of those characters where bullet velocity feels like a very impactful buy for poking people.
geist is the only true mage in the game, you can legit not go gun at all. spirit armor for her own spells including OP's max 1 then 3. 3 stacks dmg like a mofo, 2 stacks escalating exposure which is dmg amp with 3. get burst, cd, spirit etc, like an actual mage.
I think you might indeed have some form of colour blindness. When you said you couldn't tell what health the Walker was, it was perfectly visible in for me. Same thing when you thought you were about to catch a big wave in purple, and it turned out to just be a standard wave. ''It looked huge on the minimap'' lol. Or maybe you've got some scuffed monitor colour settings.
Abilities should deff go 1>3>4>2. 3 does crazy damage and upgraded 1/3 can hold lanes against so many ppl. Also focus farm. With upgraded 1 youre a farm queen. Youre nerfing yourself for a silence you dont really wanna be close enough to use.

@@entropywizard he also said she's one of the worst heroes in terms of win rate.... Last I looked she was number 1 hero in terms of win rate lol
Of course, geist is one of your best characters, the character is a total balance error, literally a fracassed caracter, it is obvious that you and anyone will play well with her
Now we have that fated mirage gun comparison 🙌🏼
I really like that you show us what items you buy and what they do, that helps immensely for understanding the build!
3:38 "I don't think I'm a bottom" - bottom

That’s what I’m saying she steam rolls late game with her 3 and no TH-camrs seem to be using it properly lol too much gun
I mean you can just build spirit lifestyle and 1-3 late game forever. The health tradeoff lategame is nonexistent if you hit at least one person
Can you share the build brother? I recently started playing her and I can already see just now that her 3 is strong but I haven't found any build that is based on it yet
"tardigrades pubic hair out of reach" lmaoooo

Warp stone closes the distance
Bruh warp stone exists
Instead of pointing out the obvious like the other two comments, I gotta say that I adore the "tardigrades pubic hair out of reach" comparisson haha

@@BananakinSplitwalker You could simply use kinetic dash, much cheaper and can get the jump on people much easier to swap em.
Her 3 is actually disgusting if built around it. I actually love getting it first if the matchup is good.

Lady geist is also really strong at holding base when your team is loosing
The difference between Mast and other youtubers is that sacred item card he displays after buying an item, is so dinamic and helps so much

Phantom strike, he went the cheaper route with warp stone

Feels like you have gotten better at the game. Feels better. Used to not feel that good to watch you play.

Mast playing deadlock is huge
You should try melee geist it's actually Nasty cuz malice makes punch hit super hard and you kinda wanna chase with her heal anyway
Such an abnormal clearing speed haha.
just started playing her yesterday really fun and solid

Quick question is there a reason he didn’t secure the soul @16:34?
No reason not too, it's definitely a misplay, might be because he was focused on the soulbag or commenting while playing
How did you get item triggers to appear under your ammo?

geist does have the highest damage per bullet in the game. Gun build geist kills people so fast.
I love her but the ultimate is silly to say the least
If some of you are sucks at aiming then try to use mcginnis until you are sick of her, like me😅
Your sleeping on the 3, you throw a couple in a team fight and can half health all 5 of them I always max is second and heal last all super valuable

the "i didnt think that would kill" moments is because the 3 increases dmg by A LOT
try maxing 1 > 3 > 2 > ulty. The 2 is bait, silence is for late game. 3 does so much dmg
This game just popped out of nowhere 🤨. Never see anything on this game. Is it for Xbox?
No sadly

Shhh, don't make her popular, I like being able to play her most of my games.
that and if people realize how good she actually is she'll probably get nerfed
This patch Paradox is the worst wr. Geist is tier2 somehow.
Day 119 of asking on behalf of that other guy for Bacchus adc with full mage adc build/attack speed so late game when autoing you become a beyblade
Idk if it's just me, but I'm always pulling away from the lobby, yet all my teammates lose lane every game.
the matchmaking is the menace. every game my teammates feed and leave. this game is garbage.
