Probably the content creator with the biggest impact on early meta hands down
Thats a big complement thanks!!
By far.
eh yall need to check out dods vid on weapon dmg calcs
he found an issue w ryes calcs that fixes the formulas
between both channels the math of everything is going to be figured out within the month
Fact!
I can agree to that statement
the chalkboard commander, the whiteboard warrior, the blackboard baddie............... Please keep making videos about this game!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao
As a 64 year old most of what you're saying is going over my head BUT still helpful aaaaaand you're the only youtuber i've subbed to.
Thank you for all your time spent in making these wonderous videos.
Those final words about "just play the game the way you enjoy it" are so refreshing ! Thanks for giving us those stats so we can know what's good and what isn't, but not saying one thing id THE meta that we have to play absolutely !
Exactly. Of course, dying a lot is not the way I enjoy a game, so these in-depth videos are really nice.
5k resist isn't too hard. 1 equipment slot and a halfish ranked mod will get you there.
Thanks for all your nerd math vids. Some folks want to know what's the best stuff, others want to know why. Thank you so much for helping with the latter.
not my equipment slots lol
@@ryechew nayy wasting 6 slots for resistance... i fear i would die
@@joshthehawk746 I've finished the main story and done a few hard bosses so far... all I have is a full defense bunny, with all resist mods, and a Tamer... which occasionally gets swapped out for Albion Cavalry gun (for SP boost on Reactor - only used for add clear agains Colosi).
Just having a large HP pool is enough to survive most encounters in game... In fact, dare I say, that your biggest defensive stat, is HP. Besides the obvious, it's fairly easy to stack health to the moon, and most bosses won't hit you for 10k, though there are some that seem to down you instantly. The health pickups restore % health, so as long as you can heal/ pick up health, you'll survive.
Also... movement... movement movement movement. Jump, double jump and strafe. Aside from the snipers/ lasers, "most" enemies won't land many shots on you, as long as you aren't standing still.
But, in regards to your response... you will die... slower 🙃. Thankfully, the game remains playable, even if you go full tank, which is more than I can say for many other games. Sure you wont oneshot the boss, but you can go res your ally who got oneshot instead.
*I will say that I finished the main story with around 7k hp on bunny, 5k+ all res and 2k armor (i rolled hp/ resist on accessories)... ah, and she was lvl 28 for what that's worth, I didnt wanna grind levels, so just kept playing after using Catalyst on her.
**PS, as a side note, unlike warframe, giving your stance/ sub attack mod a matching polarity, does not increase your total mod capacity, even though it indicates doubled capacity on the mod itself. The note on the mod states that it can only give 10 capacity at max rank.... so don't waste your time like I did.
I think the only content creator who is actually really theorycrafting. There are too much who just throw arround missbeliefs or selling you their bs as facts.
Fr thank you so much i enjoy your content
Peace ouuut 😘
this is hands down my fav first descendant creator, gives amazing information without yapping for 45min. love the content please keep it up it helps so much!
I just got into The First Descendant and i found this Math wizard of a gamer and i dig it
A little bonus if you wanna know, each External components when you go grind them, can have one of the 4 elements, but only one external component is specialized in THAT one elemental resistance. Which means you can save one external component of every element, add a mod, and you should be good to go for an elemental boss, having an easier time.
yep, i literraly use def componets with resistence elemental in my descendants
Thanks for the Intro about difficulty increase. That explains all the people complaining, that they managed a boss in private and failed with others, if the new person is that bad, that it cannot compensate the 20% increase.
His comment on 20% difficulty meant simply enemy damage output, right? Didn't he mention he wasn't sure how the health values changed? Enemy health could go up even more. However, it's important to also note that it's not really "compensating" for a person being bad in covering that 20%. That could be the case in regards to their health pool (which is why I think their health may increase more than 20% each person, because you'd need to be REALLY bad to not be able to contribute well over that 20% back). HOWEVER, that 20% damage output is not distributed or compensated for--each individual is taking the full brunt of each increased hit. So, with 4 people, every person has to be able to deal with significantly more damage, regardless if any of them are bad or not.
@@rickyjanzen6684 It also must be health value. I tried devourer with others and it take ages to get his health down. In private the devourer was really fast down on health. That is also why bosses are often WAY easier in private.
@@smti1985 The health increase isn't 20% though, solo hard devourer has like 20 million HP, 4 player he has 80 million I have been told, the 20* increase is just the damage the enemies do 4 player enemies do around 1.73 times more damage and have 4 times HP
Multiplayer is honestly hard mode with how bad most people are
@@flagro770 No matter how high it is, it is MUCH easier indeed. It fell stupid easy after the fails with a group how fast he went down solo.
Just want to give a huge thank you to all the work you’ve done for this. You’ve helped me have a better understanding of a part of the game I never knew I needed.
Your diligent work is greatly appreciated.
You are a hero to the gamer dad's my friend. I have all these questions going on while playing but don't have the time to farm and run tests so these videos are gold to me. I'm a tank build so watching this and your DEF video saved me loads of time figuring out build. Liked and subscribed without you even asking.
Best first descendant channel hands down. Keep up the great work! Extremely helpful.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this, it is very much appreciated.
dang the amount of effort put on these tests... i can't help but to subscribe
this guy is a legend to this game and its community
You are the hero we need but not deserve
Thanks for your hard work and how fun you make things be!
love seeing people reconize u now, 9k subs to 14k now in 2-3 days, concratz !!! u deserve it
Why is my man only at 20k subs?, all i see on my feed are " this ***** build is so BROKEN" videos
I need more numbers man, thank you so much!
You're my new favorite channel, this is the kind of data I'm after when crafting builds
I tried private mode for the first time today for Hard Executioner because people in public kept getting one shot by that sword and the lightning strikes. I couldn’t believe how easy this fight was in private. I’m convinced People are extremely lazy and don’t prep themselves for an intercept fight. They just want to be carried all the damn time
The boss hp and dmg scales up with more people. Really difficult to even carry anyone since the way the scaling works one person won't be enough to make up for someones lack of dmg on public for hard mode. You either go solo or get people that can pull their own weight to make it work. But do agree that are alot of people that looking for carry instead of grinding out their modules for more dps and survivability
Someone has never played Monster Hunter with randoms and it shows lol.
For real, you'd expect that players use their brain at least once they unlock the hard mode, but you can still find bunny mains...
@@AJDC_5 Can't doot my way through this trash lmao
@@raathh it doesn't matter if they are on Bunny. What matter is that I see Dead Bride Hard Shield/HP dropping only when I shoot.
I'm used to Pugs not doing damage but dear lord this is not Monster Hunter where you actually can carry three other idiots.
easily the best content creator for this game, glad to see youre growing
Dude I love your videos I don’t get half of it but also loved the drawings keep up the legendary work my dude.
Here's hopes to you getting the recognition you deserve. Much appreciated.
Math guy came draw. I’m astonished! ASTONISHED! Well, not that astonished. Keep up the good work, math dude.
I love raw data! Thanks bro!
Doing gods work man, so glad i found you
Love it! Best videos!
You make the game even more fun! Shows how crazy this game is!
Thanks, that really cleared up the questions I had from the defense video.
I find it interesting that the devs coded the Executioner's sword to do more damage in such a (more or less) realistic manner.
Bruh the blackboard drawing and the executioner sound animations are gold lol keep it up fam 🤣😂👏👏
crazy amount of work there, you sir are a godsent
You are incredible dedicated to disecate the mechanics of this game, im too dumb to understand all the math behind it, but your work is very much appreciated.
The graph man, helps so much with understanding.
Thank you very much for doing all this math and sharing it with us. Helps me have a better understanding of the game
I'm pretty sure watching stuff like this is why all my friends call me a tryhard nerd
Found your channel out of nowhere and I’m loving the content.
I've been stuck on the Obstructor Hard mode and regardless of having 7k res or 15k res I still took the same damage. This makes more sense to me and appreciate the video and knowledge to not waste modules space on more elemental Res.
Glad i caught this channel because i like to push builds to break points.
Also that's alot of upgrade for 400 damage diff on a large telegraphed attack that's easily dodged.
Any videos coming up dealing with the red mods and effects since they don't say anything and upgrades only seems to lower costs
Thank you. Good to know these things.
love the content. I hope to see the value of % resistance mods compared to the + resistance, which are more worth using if at all.
i appreciate your videos so much. i know so much about the game and how to play efficiently coz of them
I feel justified to simply keep running the needed resistance on one external component and that's it, thank you. haha
I was one of those confused people, thank you for this.
Easily the best CC for The first descendent. Hands down.
The Arnold at the end startled me lol
This guy gives me exactly the numbers I need to know.
Thanks for this.
Really great video! I love math. I would love to see a test on how maximize skill damage and how MP regeneration works. I will always have questions on this game. Peace and thank you.
@5:40 Best advice ever given for a video game
Man your growing so fast every day from your good content🤣
Good work🎉
Math nerd of first descendant, I recommend this guy, 11/10.
I love this channel.
Good content love the videos keep it up 👍🏾 one thing tho I was testing with 17K resistance got clapped in three hits
Id like to see some Yujin healing info. Great videos, amazing work!
You're doing the lord's work
Okay second video, Ive watched from you, I'm enjoying it, and it has me curious to how you "do the math" because I hope to get good enough to solo bosses and help the community.
says "peace out" like Arnold
aight, you got my sub
This dude hand down is a god ggs to this dude grinding the midnight oil
Each game got their data god
And i think we found ours
I wish this channel was mandatory viewing for the general player base
Yeah that what it felt like. Having a more factually grounded a swer is reassuring. Thanks!
This guy is the best
This is great content
This rant turned longer than expecting, so I put this up here instead of last. Great video and keep up the good work. The information you've been putting out has really helped me solidify my builds.
This is a genuine question, why does this phrase exist?
The adendem for the whole "do what you want to do" I always find strange. People who play the meta because the meta is fun don't care about that saying (or do, but what they want is the meta). People who will follow that saying would have done so anyway.
The only people I find that phrase helps is validating people who want to load into public matchmaking "playing who they want to play" and proceed to fail the activity for other people.
Play what you want to play as long as you play by your self. Play what you find most fun but isn't trash when playing with other people. Doesn't have to be "the meta", but I don't want someone who doesn't build for defense because they want bigger number cause haha.
In Destiny, there are hunters who don't want to run stillhunt (best dps in the game) but once they are dealing 1/5 the damage they could and are also dying the most, they still refuse to swap. This is an example of them being a detriment but not fixing that issue because "I don't find it fun". I don't find it fun wiping because we keep 3 phasing and you keep dying. If they atleast switched to still hunt they could bump their number and still be bad at surviving.
I wanted to subscribe for the effort but i already am subbed 😂
The arnold outro caught me off guard
Get to da CHOPPA!
That is why you only need both elemental res + HP modules (that's it) defense and other modules are secondary and not important (shield are garbage)
Thank you for all of this information 😅
No joke this feels like watching Explosions%Fire but for games
Awesome video! Could you do a video on damage reduction effects like Sensory Dep (MP) and Autoimmunity by chance?
Thank you, this is a Great help. :) to me it feels enough to get a purple or yellow resistance roll om component. I am still curious if boss resistances work the same way.
In other words , if one does not stack a bunch of resistance but instead have a larger shield+HP values it kinda makes up for it🧐
I am beginning to think that a good mix of all values its probably the best approach for a build 🤔
Many thanks for another great detailed and insightful video 👌
Its a joy to watch your content and explanations! 👊
I think hp def and resistance is the better trio
Thanks man.
I run about 30k defence and 3-4k resist and i rarely get downed.
I play Freyna so i can pop my defensive if things do get hairy which usually allows me to go heal up.
Regardless, thanks for the info will adjust my build off of this for future proofing..
If only I was taught math this way.
Thank youuu!!
Counterpoint, Kyle.
I want to add two things to this. One that module that adds 600+ resistance to all elements is horrible. Do not use it unless they buff it. (I pray they do.) Secondly higher elemental resistance does affect how quickly an elements ability will proc on you. (Poison tic, fire tic, being frozen, and electrocuted.)
#noresistancegang let's goooo!
bro I have a spread sheet to keep track of the damage some skill does based on the mods and all the enemy stats you should also share some of them in your description :) btw for who wanted to know: Power increase description means your CORE stats gets multiplied by that % while Power Multiplier increase increment additionally to the skill % stat so final damage is: "core stat (the blueones for each skill to simplify)" * "Power increase % mod" * ("skill % " + "Power multiplier increase mod") * attribute mod if any
last note: attribute modules sometimes act strange still count 'em as final multipliers cuz is the closest value i found probably a rounding error somewhere
maybe the description isn't power multiplier but Power Modifier sorry can't check rn
i love our math bro, so i can understand the ingame stats
I give a shit on resistance (I have 12) and can play anything. HP is king. Have a nice day.
There is also a mod that gives you immunity to a status effect + a flat % increase to elemental resistance
@ryechews games
PLEASE do a video on how mcuh more dmg we do if we have the right element (weapon mod ) to a boss.
cause tehre is weak and VERY WEAK, NORMAL, strong n very strong
While i was farming components I made it my goal to get the main stat I wanted with at least the gold resistance stat that corresponded with the piece, so I have 3.6k resistance to all elements with 26k defense and 9.5k hp on a full skill damage viessa with crit build, yes a couple catalysts were used and I seem to tank quite well against all elements and void intercept on hard while having respectable skill damage
You are a wizard, level 5!
thanks math man
my sweat builds appreciate you
I wanna see the perforator go nuts. But I’m having not luck with it just yet
im working on wave of light, that last piece is hard to get 😅
So do we just need a level 7+ elemental antibody mod or is there a world where the +% ele res mods are useful?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey, I would like to ask how do - incoming dmg modifiers modules affect builds with hp and def.
so basically ele resist in every yellow slot for those 4 add ons, each can only roll 1 certain element and there are 4 slots for 4 elements. Thats all you need tbh, use another hp mod over a resist mod any day! there is a ton of hp modules, its kinda crazy....
Have you done an area by area test to see if in some area you take more damage then others even if the enemies are lower level in the more damaging area then in the lesser? Because I've definitely come across this issue and not due to my resistances etc. I had 15k armor and 2000 resistances across the board going into white night gulch and the same going into hagio and the enemies in hagio do next to nothing to me whereas the gulch I was getting hit like a truck and constantly having to kite enemies.
Not sure if anyone asked but what about that amunime to fire or imune to lightning mods not sure the name, but do those reduce damage from the boss / element hit? Would those be better as a replacement for the elemnt resistance
Regarding your equation and commentary about 4:30: It appears Defense is immensely more valuable up until diminishing returns, since it's generally easier to get bigger numbers and percentage boosts for Defense. Also, what is the -Attack at the end or your equation, and could you give some example values (maybe not exact boss numbers if you don't have them, but ballpark guesses that make sense)? What are average values on equipment for defense and resistance? If they're equal, I couldn't see the need for any resistance (until diminishing returns, if you still need more survivability after that reduction). But, I guess if an equally "max possible rolled" item can roll with twice the resistance as it can defense, than resistance would be more efficient on equipment.
