Best Of

The way Daunted works is that it amplifies damage taken during special attacks. The interaction with Echo is that Echo is based on the original white damage from the hit (which was boosted by Daunted), and then gets Daunted applied again to the red damage. This allows it to double-dip on effects that multiply damage.

These combos are most noticable if you've ever run the Siphon Slider or Vicious Placebo boosts in raids. Those boosts massively outperform the others, with champs able to do millions of damage in a single special attack. The base hit multiplied by the role boost and then by the Daunted. Then the target takes the Echo damage, which is multiplied by the Raid Boost, the Daunted, and the Vicious/Siphon effect.

As Elsa once said, Let it go

I know it will sound challenging, but there is 1 way to do that:

Play the game, finish contents. Some are challenging, some are not

Youre so lucky Miike doesnt work here anymore. That's all I'll say

I haven't done any real world testing of arena speed since the last time I did a deep dive analysis, and that was a lot of ascensions ago, so I decided to do an informal test of my current crop of 78 4* ascended champs. I also tested the way I normally run arena, which is to say I'm watching Youtube videos while I grind, so my grind speed is not perfectly optimal. This is a real world test.

Starting points: 1,954,043
Ending points: 3,128,096

total points: 1,174,053
total rounds: 26
total time: 46 minutes

Four cycles of this would be 104 rounds, scoring approximately 4.7 million points and take 184 minutes. That's all of the milestones in the Summoner Trials arena in about three hours. On the one hand, that's slightly slower than the best time I recorded during my analysis (which was about 2.8 hours) but on the other hand this is a test under real world normal grinding conditions. Also, it takes 4.4 million points to get all the milestones, so it would take slightly less than four complete cycles and thus take a bit less than three hours.

Of course, not everyone has three hours to do this (it amounts to one hour a day across a three day arena cycle) but on the other hand, compare this to the exaggerated claims that grinding arena is "like a job" or "takes all day." It is a moderate amount of time.

At this point, you might think ascending more 4* champs would not help speed up my grind since I already have enough to use nothing but ascended champs at this point already, and that's sort of true. What matters is the power index of the champs I use, and ascending more champs won't automatically increase the power index of the champs I use. However, two factors can actually slightly improve things. First, new champs that have intrinsically high prestige will, when ranked and ascended, end up scoring more points than at least some of the champs I'm using now. Ranking and ascending them will improve the average PI of the champs I use. And there are champs I have unascended now that when ascended will end up with higher PI than some of the champs I have ascended, because I did not originally ascend champs in prestige order. Over time as I continue to ascend older and newer champs, the average PI of the champs I use will drift upward slowly. And as I ascend enough champs I will likely stop using all of them in one big cycle and start using just the highest ones, which will also improve my average PI. So there is still some room for improvement, although probably only a small one. I'll have to revisit this maybe towards the end of the year and see how things have changed.

Yes I’m aware but if the AI decides to spam combos on your block it gets nasty regardless I already watched Nick’s showcase and that shield went down pretty quickly against Serpent because he kept throwing basics instead of throwing heavy. Dark Phoenix even worse you need to line up things perfectly to pull off a good score, she won’t be better than Nico Pav or Spiral, and even Okoye with assassin mastery will be a better option.

Watch Simula's video. He explains what he sees as the pros and cons of her, you'll understand what he means when you do.

Don't get me wrong, I'll also be saving titans as soon as I get either a dupe on my heimdall or a cosmic gem for him, bdcause I like her too, but simula did a really good job explaining why he's not chasing her.

ive been coming around on war lately so that wasnt as egregious to me.

What’s concerning here isn’t just the “not listening to feedback” comments, it’s the fact that you guys keep making decisions that simply scream “we don’t know our playerbase” which at this point is starting to become incredibly annoying and tiring. Whoever thought paywalling ascensions for new champs was a good idea definitely takes the cake when it comes to those horrible decisions, and setting a cap on essentia would absolutely be another one just off the top of my head.
