Great video, thanks. I came back to Dauntless a week or so ago having not played since like 2020, so much to choose to hunt and craft, this guide helps narrow it down!
Hehe thanks, unfortunately, this video took about 4 weeks to make. There were so many problems at the end of the video because I was starting to burn out at the end of it. And I also had to completely redo the video, so I didn't want to stay making the video any longer.
I just started playing dauntless a few weeks ago, I was invited by my friends, and yesterday I was able to solo the dauntless trial of tempest dog in exactly 3 mins on first try after some build preparations that I got from content creators, I'm also a chain blade user, and it's really surprising how just using the right equipment can really do good damage no matter how new you are to the game. I even saw a video about players using beginner weapons without cells an still able finish the dauntless trials in less than 2 mins.
Hey, congrats. Stormclaw trials are pretty annoying, and doing it in sub 3 mins is pretty good for a starter. Yeah, a lot of people assume this game requires no skill, but pure skill gets you so damm far.
rage does proc when using revenant so the combination with predator is only given in that a scenario but then just use overpower and its already better xD. Well put together video.
To be honest.. everything that was said here is correct and and good basis for everyone new to the game but gosh.. I hate these robot voices so much. Personally I won't sit through another one of these. Let's see how this will look after the big "Summer..lol" patch There was a time when attack speed was the king so who knows if everyone said really stays the way.
I completely understand, and yes, I'm pretty sure literally everything in this video will be outdated, the game is becoming something totally different. I'll have to remember to come back to this video and title it as "Outdated"
Few corrections: - Fire can be used for some iceborne builds too. - Reduce is still used in builds \ team builds if you are over attack speed cap - you aren't losing attack speed, just gaining consistent damage buff. (Should be in niche category) ____ And addition to "complicated" part to make it even more complicated - you don't even need 50% to cap impulse, even if you have 42.5% - that should give you same damage as 50% movespeed (it's rounded up each to 10% ) So like an example: +30% - fire +10% - impulse itself +7.5% - tree = 47.5% movespeed, if you increase movespeed from there - you will still deal same damage (42.5 should be the same as 50% too, but it's been some time since I tested it, might be patched since then, not sure) _____ There are alot more options how to build around impulse, than galv \ invig. I do fire builds \ some people do Shrike lantern + cata + cons + galv with it (15% + 10% imp + 7.5% tree = 32.5%, kinda meh, but it works for them, so whatever), could also do molten + pulse \ cons for non cata \ tempest builds (20 + 10 + 7.5 = 37.5, same thing), could do any of those options with wounds or even acidic on axe - that's gonna be cap impulse. But eh, there are too many options, whole this section kinda unnessesary.
Yep, I am aware that playing in a coordinated party does open up a lot of things I.e stuff like having a warpike with shrike lantern and savage wellspring will give you enough buffs to use impulse efficiently without needing frostwulf and invigorated. I've actually heard that the rounding in this game is weird so I didn't want to make any statements regarding that as I am misinformed on the subject. Tbf I have heard that some of these values are not consistent so I can't tell what is and isn't real. Like people not being able to agree how much ms Molten gives or if aethercharged ammo effects the ms of mighty land breaker. I have heard multiple answers to these questions, but awesome info nevertheless. Appreciate the words.
@@ltcernalcorn oh yea, I'm not sure about those too lol But...I don't really consider hammer buff or axe throw movespeed buff into impulse builds cause it's not consistent, you can't always have it, so eh
as far as I learned impulse rounds up to each 5%... i thought it was 10% but it seems like it rounds up to the next 5%. But still it would change nothing. Still most broken cell of them all.
@@basti0567 it tells you it's each 5%, but when I tested it - it was every 10%, you can try 42.5% and 50% for example - should be the same damage, unless it was patched since my tests (doubt)
@@ltcernalcorn but even after that some of them will only make build video unlike them you explained how can we make our own. you are not making us dependent on you but learn from you.
Thanks for this video! I'm a returning pkayer after years of not playing and there are new cells and changes on anothers. I've made some mistakes as thinking that pulse and impulse were super and I used then with every weapon so my builds will get better now
@@laughinabox4880 a build just boils down to having damage, attack speed and critical chance. The armor pieces I showed at the end all contribute to this. As for omnicells, revenant and tempest are considered the best. If you're still having trouble figuring out builds, I recommend using the dauntless builder website and checking out the builds there www.dauntless-builder.com/
I’m sorry to ask but I’ve been trying to figure out how to maximize dps with a sword Currently I run breserker tenacious+tough And recycle Being the main points but I notice my ult pretty much always screws up recycle do to the waves hitting more than my direct target I’ve considered 2 things and would appreciate some insight from anyone willing to help 1. Run the ultimate that spins to be rid of the issue 2. Replace recycle with the cell that gives percentile increase to crit chance
Hey! So a couple of things Berserker is indeed a good cell, and tenacious and tough are a decent combo for early game, however, having all 3 of these isn't exactly ideal. Considering berserker is decreasing your overall health which is having a anti-synergy. Recycle is usually only +6 on repeaters, for every other weapon, it's best to either not have it at all or only +3. The spinning move you're talking about (Ardent cyclone) is actually quite bad. Not only does it have subpar damage, it also locks you into a really long animation which will definitely make you get hit by the behemoth, which will disable your predator cell in your build. Also you wouldn't be able to run something like the Revenant omnicell which is really freaking good, since you'll be a easy target. Valiant and avenging overdrive are the 2 specials you'll need to choose on. Valiant is good if you're staggerlocking the behemoths and are not letting them get a chance to hit you, while avenging overdrive is better IF they are attacking you, since you'd actually be able to parry their hits. Here's a build I'd use www.dauntless-builder.com/b/n3IbTuYDlnqe7RcCBqTLZf_dt__~W_sg-dbGwjht6y0nXb_YVZCAMcGiBSc_HA
I don't think anyone has ever tested it but I'm sure it works the same Yeah merciless is bad, only activates on staggers. Whereas you can just put more damage in, which will also increase your wound damage, 2 birds 1 stone. Hell, even something like acidic would be better, although acidic isn't really used. Probably only in really competitive squads but not sure.
Merciless has the same activation times as overpower yeah. It is actually used, but only in high level group play where your entire team plays around wounds, and where the behemoth is staggered for the whole run.
Cascade has 4 orb effects, the healing and dmg one aren't good, if you need healing, just use a plus 3 parasitic. The dmg from the red orbs do almost nothing. The yellow stamina orbs actually hurt you since most weapons are using adrenaline in their build for damage, (you can also be hurting other players if you're in pubs). The only good orb is the purple one, but you have to invest a lot into the cell for the purple orbs to even drop. It also only activates on lantern hold, lanterns by default, have a 30 second cool down.
I just returned out of the blue from 2020 without knowing about the new update and I got really hooked, I love the axe now a lot and I was hoping you would say that enraged was good but alas, thank you for the info
@@ltcernalcorn Yeah switching weapons on the fly sounds nice, though I confused something on my previous comment when I was talking about enraged I was actually talking about a unique passive to a striker where you glow red and don't get staggered, I hope it was a cell but it's not
This is just me but I don’t usually run mixed sets I usually try to run a full set cause sometimes mix sets look out of place and I don’t wanna spend money on transmogs
You could have 100% up time if it's +6 and you have something like revenant or fire. But it's only 20% damage, whereas +3 berserker offers the same for less requirements. And if you're triggering rage by getting hit, well that isn't necessarily good. You shouldn't be accustomed to getting hit all the time

Reading impulse description you automatically get 20% increased critical hit damage, am I reading it wrong?
Correct, assuming impulse is at +6
