This hero is more complex than my studies
😂
Still less complex than your farming strats though
At least you are getting smarter
@@Hbombthat was rude 😡
@@Hbombfr😂
@@anthony.morales6917I don’t wanna sound mean but is this a joke or serious??
Not gonna lie guys, the only thing making corvis complicated is lack of pictures.... With geraldo you already know what everything does with a glance so it feels seamless using him. Corvis however thinks we're gonna spend more than 2 minutes studying his abilities or something.
i mean they’re all intuitive; spear is a spear, frostbound is a snowflake, ember is fire, vision is an eye, etc
yeah but once you get used to it it gets a lot easier
its like learning Monklish and Russian or other language that doesnt use normal letters.
This is no different
@@KL53986there is no such thing as normal letters wtf
I mean, they aren't too difficult to read.
A lot o people has a lot of ideas that would make using him less tiring, but I think that having a visual indicator for mana without having to constantly click on the hero would be great, for using his abilities and maintaining constant spells for example.
Yeah, maybe just an aura that gets brighter or more saturated as he gets more mana, just to give a general idea at a glance
@@_ikako_i would say just a mana bar either near him (e.g. above him) or somewhere around your HUD. this way you know what numerical value his mana pool is at.
@@panzerfich I second having a small mana bar above him would be best. The HUD would be too crowded and there may be additional bars in the future with other towers, already got a bar you have to keep track of for Wizard Paragon if you're manually controlling for example. These could all be above the tower as a small mana bar with different colours. Corvus Mana Bar can be Teal and Wizard can be Purple and other bars for future towers can be other colours in case they're close to one another. Only issue would be overlapping layers but can be rectified with mouse hover or last clicked triggers.
Yes.
This is very handy, thank you! I was a little disappointed by how much the in-game tutorial skimmed, so its nice to have a more in-depth look :)
No problem, I'm glad I could help!
@@Hbombhow does pierce work for spirit?
He's actually much easier to learn than i expected. The hard part here is that the pictures aren't nearly as intuitive as geraldo
as someone who is too lazy to experiment with him, thank you for making this video
You're a beast for making such a thorough guide already 👏👏
Attention everyone, after doing several tests in sandbox, "aggression" spell seems to reduce damage rather than doing more dmg, even in combination of other spells.
You guys can test if you want, i ll stay away from that spell until it gets fixed. If its a bug.
Maybe it’s cause he moves faster so he misses the bloons?
Tested it, probably a glitch on your side because it increases his damage on mine
Thanks for this :) it's kind of like Geraldo when i started playing, lots of things going on at once but it is nice to see somebody help to break it down for me
I thought the title said “exactly how corona works in btd6” and I was like “wow didn’t know they added they feature”
Lmao
What i saw with overload is that if you use recovery right after it and instantly cancel recovery the spirit is instantly back and you are able to use all other spells again if you restock mana with 1 of his abilities.
A combo I like is Frostbound + Repel, as it pushes back all MOABs and cerams to the entrance, and leaves them with permafrost.
Also, storm is good midgame for MOAB damage.
Funny, they did nerf this in 40.1 by pierce limiting it.
malevolance is crazy good actually because it allows corvus to be alch buffed and overclocked since he is the one attacking not the spirit. While active you can also cast spear + storm which are also buffed unlike the spirit ones to get crazy cleanup
if malevolance is off, corvus cant be buffed or it just doesnt do anything?
@@The_Dr_Fate i don't actually know, but judging from the way the game's internal logic works, I would assume it's because he isn't the "source" of the pops, his spirit is until he activates malevolence.
Malevolence. May seem weak at first, but if you give it a 4-2-0 alchemist buff it can deal with super ceramics on the 90's. Not just that, but since you can use it with energy blade and spear, it can deal really phenomenal damage.
Not just that, but since malevolence technically attacks slow, it has nearly 100% alchemist uptime.
I think you severely underestimated, and underused it.
Corvus is a really fun hero, I may not know how to use him the best and other towers out-DPS him but he's just a lot of fun. Also, are you sick because your voice sounds pretty hoarse?
I am getting over a cough. I was hoping that I could get through the script sounding fine, but that was not the case :|
You sound sick, hope you feel better soon
I hope they add some quincy or sauda type heroes. The ones that dont have anything weird going on and just do their own thing. I know geraldo and corvus are powerful but they take so much time and effort to use that I dont feel like im playing a tower defense game with them. Geraldo gets thirty new buttons and timers each round, and corvus seems similar. I'll still try him out if I get the chance
they said in the patch notes that they were going to add heroes and towers that are much less micro-intensive
My guy, 90% of heroes are like that.
@@Kaghtaviybruh yes I agree
Geraldo and Corvus are the only ones like that
The vast majority are what you said
Geraldo 2: electric boogaloo, certainly an interesting hero
Very good video, u explained ir very well
Malevolence is actually pretty good in some situations, for example when there's a large rush incoming that the spirit can't keep up with or stopping him from attacking for stalling. This is also probably a bug, but if you use it or recovery after overload and then immediately cancel, the spirit just comes back out of nowhere.
I actually found that Malevolvence and Spear work weirdly well together, although the mana upkeep gets a bit high. Maybe I'm wrong about this, I'll experiment more with the combo.
Does it make Corvus fire the spears himself, since there's no spirit?
@@bluekirby_64just tested it, and yeah it does
I really liked malevolence and storm, it’s basically a tack zone + inferno ring combined
Super good for rounds like 63 and 76/78
@@tuxtitan780 Thanks
The freeze and fire abilities combo really well in the mid game
In case you didn't know, after you use overload you can also quickly use recover and stop it again to get the spirit back instantly
So you place sauda and you just leave her do her thing
I've been waiting for this cuz all the bloons youtubers I know were just making gameplay videos with the new guy
your new video on james somerton was so good!!!
I think you should probably do some videos on Topple Tactics, like some tips and tricks. That's right up your alley!
Exactly what i needed.
Honestly, Corvus is probably the 2nd or 3rd best hero in the game, I think he's great, Really fun, And is very versatile, but when you compare his damage to that of other towers, it feels underwhelming, especially considering the fact that Corvus is an attack-based hero, not a support-based one like Geraldo.
I've been testing all heroes and some tier 5s against Corvus to see if he really was powerful or nah, because I also felt that he was a bit weak
Corvus is busted, it was the only hero that could solo round 100, no other hero came even close except from Churchill and Ezili (obviously)
With the right micro he is incredibly strong, with a sustained power similar to a Dark Champion and capable of doing the dps of a Giganotosaurus in burst of damage
@@fabioelcazatesoros Sure, I said he is really strong, probably 2nd or 3rd best. But he's definitely not Geraldo strong, where Geraldo has a lot more unique spells that can both attack and support other towers.
@@fabioelcazatesoros In what world are Churchill and Ezili the only ones to be able to solo a BAD? Geraldo was able to 1TC at one point, and he definitely can take down a BAD on his own. And the only thing preventing Adora from doing it is her lack of camo detection. Being able to Solo a bad isn't the only determiner of power, otherwise first strike would be the best tower in the game.
@@thenarwhalmage I did various test with all the heroes at level 20 with just a MIB on Monkey Meadow
Adora just pops the BAD layer right at the end of the track using all of her abilities, Churchill just leaked a few ceramics, Ezili obviously didn't leak because of moab hex, Quincy did around 27k damage and didn't pop the BAD layer, Gwen did 21k, Obyn 12k, Geraldo could pop it but it leaked the DDT (this using basically all in his shop), Sauda did 17k, Striker Jones 9k, Etienne 19k and Corvus completely cleared it. No buffs, no support towers appart from the MIB, just the level 20 hero with all the tools it has. You can test it yourself if you don't believe me, with Corvus you need to use Echo and Ancestral Might for the first burst of damage, then use regen to recover the cooldown of Echo and then use Echo with Storm and when the BAD layer pops you use Overload to take the rest down.
I also did a test against 90 BFBs and Corvus drop them down easy
@@thenarwhalmage? Bad isnt camo bro, and if you Micro him well corvus got the highest dps after Churchill but i mean he Costs over 2k
We definitely need an updated tier list
You can mix the Spear Spell and Malevolence Spell to create an over powdered combo.
This will change CHIMPS and BTD6 Tutorials forever
Malevolence is better than it seems, considering the other abilities spear and storm, which raise its potential a LOT.
I’m so glad to see Hbomb finally branching out by making a video longer than 3 minutes!
He’s made many vids over 3 mins. I remember the first vid I watched from him was bazaar chimps back in 2020
does he get mana from regrow farms? does this mean you can regrow farm to level 20, and then make money with it?
I tested It out in sandbox, and you are right. Regrow farming has snuck its way back again.
I'm so glad they added Asuka R♯ to Bloons.
The thing i wondered from the start is if the spirit is able to receive buffs from alchemists and others
apparently no, might be wrong
the spirit doesn't get affected, but ancestral might's hands ARE buffable with everything
@@GalaksyzMalevolence+Spear/Storm also works I believe
can u explain how to effectively use ben’s biohack in ur benjamin guide coming up pls?
This hero will make insane challanges...
Corvus feels so complicated to use. I don’t mind it for Geraldo because you enter the shop between rounds. He is particularly good for maps like Muddy Puddles that alternate paths.
We must petition to change Echo's description to "Double it & give it to the next person"
He is officially my new favorite hero
I find it funny how both Honkai Star Rail and BTD6 have released new characters with a green spirit companion
Tbh corvus is my fav hero just how cool and useful he is my second fav is the indian shopkeeper
I'm convinced this guy is the new sauda solo strat replacer
Sort of
thanks
Corvis is my favorite hero aside from Benjamin and I never knew he had spells 😂
Corvus might is the most complicated hero for me so many spells and reading
lot of games coming out with characters with a bunch of spells, btd's corvus, guilty gear's asuka r# and league's hwei
This hero is more complicated than my relationships. Corvus is a real all-rounder, a compilation of other heroes' down-graded abilities.
The micro on this will give speedrunners an aneurysm
Nice
did you know frostbound actually has infinite pierce, try using it on a stack of 999 ceramics
Fun fact: this was patched immediately so now it gets pierce capped
I feel like the biggest issue with Corvus is going to be remembering the symbols for some of them
And the monkey money of 7,000.
@@agrilsunil1for new players maybe, but for ogs who maxed everything out not really
Focus on maximum mana generation to make the best use of corvus seems best
5:40 2 hands going at once 😏
anyone else noticed corvus is a monkey combination of de-grey from fantasy strike and akuma from street fighter/tekken7?
An akuma skin with a go hadoken as the spirit would be so sick but can’t for copyright reasons
@@monkehotdogs2227 yea
Imagine the raging demon on a bad tho
now I want to see the hardcore player solo chimps with this one.
if its possible
well not 1tc because corvus is too expensive
@@dhearyzikrimuhammad_0366 yup might need to cheat In money for that.
Repel plus Frostbound sends moabs back to spawn at high levels 😂
Corvus is Geraldo but instead of siphoning money you want to spend on other troops, he generates his own temporary cash pool
Jesus that was fast
NICE
god the little spirit is so cute
this guy is the definition of micro
I love corvus but the 800 max mana is a real bummer.
this guy is more confusing than a manga fight scene
how does the pierce work on the spirit
?
Nah Corvus has Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine 💀💀
Trample and the ability where you convert mana to lives momentarily are absolutely broken
Ezili: 😻
The spell malevolence seems like JJK reference
The ghost is a Jojo reference it’s a stand
He is great if he can pop bloons
im not very good at micro so i dont thing im gonna plzy with corvus much
Fair enough. He is a lot of micro
He took 3 hours for me to get
He has everything at the cost of micro
this is so complex i forgot this was a game where monkeys pop balloons
Do you guys know what that ZOMG skin is at 7:08?
how much does Corvus cost to place?
It’s like Geraldo
Are you alright, you sound like you have a really sore throat
Yeah idk, this one and Beast Handler feel like NK is missing what makes the game fun. Like, it's a cool idea, but BTD6 is best when towers work better or worse with different towers, not when a tower is just unique or complex. Why do you think no one's using the Beast Handler? It doesn't combine well with other towers. The game is most fun when we're finding interesting combos that synergize for various reasons.
Actually, beast handler has some cool combos
what is holding him back (and all underused towers like, mortar, Wizard Paragon and etc.) It's the high micro e skill needed
Looks very micro intensive but also very overtuned, looks fun lmao
Truly the Aphelios of BTD6
Challenge : solo corvus in hard standart
when do you think i should buy corvus?
when you become good at macroing
like with heli and ace
@@britishperson1 dang he looks really cool im tryna get good with geraldo currently
aint no way, corvus is popping domain expansions?
In co-op all people do is micro corvus, having 38,000 and doing NOTHING with it, they don't even send it to other players, they just refuse to place down any other tower
It’s fun no?😂
not fun on round 100 @@dragonmaster3207
Corvus sucks when trying to get to round 100. No Moab damage early game? No purple popping power? Camo purples got you?
welp, time to solo chimps with it, right?
right?
why did i read the title as “exactly how corona virus works in btd6”
So adora and this guy can gain exp in other ways while the other hero who lvlup slowly, churchill, can only buy exp with money.
Did no one notice frostbound freezes white Bloons???????
Hello again
Hello there
uhh how to pop purples with corvus
More complicated than rocket science
Forgot to mention abilities
He better than Geraldo? If not I’m not getting him
When Einstein and monkt have a baby
This hero is just like geraldo, but i aint gonna use him as much because my brain is teeny tiny😂
I also might not use him because other towers to simular things as most spells without needing to rely as mana
❤❤❤❤❤
