Yo what is up guys this mode is insanely fun and quite a challenge! Let me know what you think of it and what teams you find success with especially if you manage to defeat difficulty 5 with them! Check out Prydwen's written Swarm Disaster guide here: www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/guides/swarm-disaster/
Easiest way to beat final boss in difficulty 5 is by using remembrance, and if the boss ever resists freeze long enough to actually do anything you just alt+f4 to reset the fight. Any sort of hunt turn reset (for example extra turn on weakness break) really helps.
@@meowk123Kafka, jingyuan, Dan Heng IL, and even blade is better than seele in aoe, seele is just better than everyone (besides Dan Heng IL) in single target
Abundance path saved my ass especially with the healing blast + Bailu’s vigoration. I only use the resonance when my team got controlled or stacked too much wind debuffs
Somewhat unrelated, but I love the music choice in these vids, especially at around 5:30 with that rabi ribi track. Was an unexpected but welcome surprise.
Wow this is a lot more in depth of a system than I was expecting. This is the exact kind of thing I waited years for them to add to Genshin and quit when I realized they never would.
This kinda reminds me of Apple vs Android debates. Apple found a formula that works which makes the people buy their products even if there are minor changes only. They sell the same lookalike phones with small improvements for the last few years. Genshin is the same. They don't add these types of endgame content because they don't need to. People will still play. Some AR 60 players will complain about it and stop but that doesn't affect them at all. There is no competition for Genshin so it stays the same. Star Rail is new and in its genre, the competition is pretty huge. Just like Android phones. The Android market is filled with new phones with different features like lots of ram, 200mp cameras etc. This suits different people and whoever makes a device with the most powerful specs gets the cake. Sure there are other factors but the general competition is to get the attention of people who seek more customization and performance. So for Star Rail to be in relevance they need to introduce more and more such content to keep players in for the long term. It's all about feeding the people with content to get them to play as much as they can. Even Genshin is a huge competition for Star Rail that's why they keep on adding more new stuff like this.
@@ymw1107 well, genshin is a more story and lore focused game, they spend a lot of effort for their world building and crafting unique stories and histories for each region, and yes you are right, the majority of the players are casual players so they do not need to focus to heavy on the meta side
@@___..Blade..___ you misunderstand, genshin will never be "competition" because they are from the same company 😂😂it dosent matter if you quit genshin for star rail you are still playing a hoyo game
Everyone talking bout higher difficulties while I’m still stuck at difficulty 2 💀💀. I keep dying on the final phase. Ran rememberance with march for the freeze but the damage is real painful. Maybe gotta check my build.
Same, that's not a build problem at this point, we are trying our best but there's something, maybe luck or buffs from each path, i don't understand what is happening at this point
I'm stuck at dif3 (beat it like a few times and now I got a task to beat dif3 and keep dying to the fucking bug), to be fair I'm playing for 1,5 months so my team is unoptimized, but there's also times when I choose Remembrance and the blessings just don't appear.
If this game mode is anything like in normal SU, rememberance is broken. If you just get 2 specific blessings is pretty much won. You will kill everything in just a few hits.
I think that elation's ultimate becoming follow up and 55% buff for follow up is the most flexible card in SU ngl,I can put it on any comp,any universe,any path and the buff is unreal
skipped all the instructions cause I thought it'd just be another easy event I can breeze through without actually knowing the mechanics, only to find myself dying at level 4 lol so ty very much for the detailed explanation on how everything works :)
Well done. Very professional show Case. I can tell you enjoy playing SU. Swarm. You explain everything very well with specific and detailed. I enjoyed seeing this content and learning from it as well. Keep doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.
Imagine a whole new mode made just for a new character(DHIL, propagation path + swarm weakness being imaginary). I hope when Raiden Mei expy will be released she will get her mode, too.
So overall it is the same rule as SU start from weak worlds to the hugh worlds after make a buffs make sense. Especially this one cheat code looks really usefull. But to be honest i thought they gonna add something a history of TL to move on with it a little bit. But instead of it they make us game called a gamble which rule create a dice.
On last boss sometimes they have extra weakness like lightning, fire, or physical (in my account case) do you know how trigger that ? Most characters i use is natasha, bailu, himeko, kafka, serval, sw, qingque. Thanks
in every plane, there is a boss fight. depending on which boss you choose, the swarm boss will have different debuffs. for example, if you were to choose boss a, it would give the swarm boss fire weakness but if you were to choose boss b, it would give the swarm boss ice weakness.
After any plane you will be given a choice on the story, what is for? I also noticed that based om my choice there's a path behind it, can you guys please explain what it's for?
I still don't understand the points and the communing system. Can somebody please dumb it down for me how does it work? I tried watching and listening but its the same as every other video I've come across. It still isn't clear to me.
Same here. I've obtained points by completing tasks on the trail of pathstrider, but I also gained some for other things, - I think selecting an option at the end of a plane. But I can't seem to increase the points at all for some paths despite making many runs. Confused about this.
Wait!I am having quite difficulty in completing difficulty 4,my all paths levels are around 2-3,destruction being 7,can I level up all paths by playing difficulty 3 or inside it for now?short summary can I reach all max levels by completing just difficulty 3?and that,I mean is there any tasks which mentions difficulty 4 or higher in trail of pathstrider?
@@GrimroGacha so difficulty 4 will be a lot easier right?when my all paths reach more than level 10?for the time being i am gonna just grind difficulty 3
opposite. the 1-2 star blessings you gain, wouldn’t help much when in disarray. the boss hits hard and is very tanky so it’s better to just get to the boss as fast as possible
I kinda like it but it feels like it was created exclusively for Lunae. Damage from bosses is just so high that I cannot go through even with preservation path...
As some one who has cancer is my dream to get danhengg and ii try somuch to get jade but this game is not good with f2p wish me luck i get danheng with his light cone:)
As a single target dps user this is absolutely insane. I've got the most broken runs with awesome blessings but always manage to die 3rd phase because I can't shield or heal (due to that one effect). I'm sad so say this but I'm somehow still stuck on difficulty 2?? The rest of the entire event is very easy except for that one last boss phase. I've used different paths but I'm still struggling. Oh well that's karma for not building Dan Heng IL I guess Edit: I did it and something Swarm disaster made me realise is that I really need to be better at strategising. Now that I think about it there were many times where I had the right blessings but didn't use them well enough which ended up costing me a lot of time. My team remained the same. If anyone cares I used rembrance this time to freeze all the little bugs since they're actually the main target I had to look out for. Pair that with the levelled 2* hunt blessing which gives u max energy for defeating an enemy, the 3* one which gives you another turn and the usual 3* elation blessings and i had my burst basically 100% of the time which easily killed those pesky bugs. It's a small victory but knowing what route I need to take from now on is gonna help a lot
i'm also stuck at diff 2. the last boss' final phase is the most annoying. they'd take control of my characters at once, and by then not even gepard+luocha duo can save my team😮💨 is there any way to counter against this controlling-debuff thing?
@@acherthecat8316 you can use Natashas or bronyas skill to debuff allies (idk bout luocha) which isn't great since they're somehow always the ones getting targeted. I believe there's a preservation blessing that can remove debuffs but that isn't really useful if gepard is getting controlled. Maybe fire MC would work since they can apply shield with their skill but they can trigger enemies to target them more so they'll probably be controlled 24/7. I'm gonna try again and hope for some better blessings ig
*Sigh*, sorry but this isn't what I'm looking for. I want to know how to clear this with Abundance Blade, I keep getting stuck at the first plane because I simply just can't get enough dewdrop related Abundance blessings to overcome the first plane boss's high health pool. Everyone is level 80 and all and the team is Blade, Luocha, Bronya, and Pela. I am so desperate for help with this specific thing, please someone help me.

@@GrimroGacha I'll be sleeping less now I guess lmao that's amazing. So it's literally an endless mode sorta. What's like a realistic approximate of unlocking everything reward wise?
Well different people have different opinions, but this is imo the best mode they have brought out yet, even without the rewards the gameplay seems amazing. The only reason you're not liking it is because you're dealing with it like a chore, you just want to get it done with, which is fundamentally against what the mode is about, so try to enjoy it and slowly upgrade your blessings once, you'll like it more then
@@Mayank_MJ It is hard, which isnt bad, but, but it disrespects your time. It takes so many hours. Many say just to play it to unlock buffs, but in reality you need to do very specific things to even unlock any of em and it always doesnt explain very well.

The access to info like formulas etc is much appreciated so I can do things my own way and more personalized for my specific account.
