Buffed Attuma

Squidopus

R4 sig 200, no synergies or boosts.

I like him. 5 Million health in 3 minutes. Probably doable faster, from the looks of it 100 Concussions was fairly overkill so I could probably afford to throw one less sp2.

This is technically the sorta thing Attuma could always do, but with the Cruelties (which pause Concussions) lasting as short as it did before, it required basically frame perfect play, perfect AI, and no defensive mechanics that forced you to not stay aggressive, preferably against an opponent with short specials. The duration increase solves most of those issues and lets you stack Concussions pretty freely now.

Both his Specials 1 and 2 are easy to dex.

Well this is an attack based test, not a defensive one

Did they buff Attuma?

Yes, they buffed him this update to go alongside his ascension release coming up.

No real defensive changes, just offensive. Technically they’re mostly based around his utility and just making him easier and more consistent, but as I mentioned, practically speaking his ceiling is vastly improved because he wasn’t realistically hitting these sort of numbers in all but the most conducive of situations.

Where can we find the details on this? I haven’t heard anyone talk about it!

Here’s the slide from the livestream with all the changes:

For whatever reason they didn’t mention it at all in the patch notes. I can’t claim to know why. Feels like they do that a lot these days.

would you mind just quickly writing how you ramp him up exactly?

Show his crits with Cruelties from 100 Concussions tho

@Squidopus what's your preferred rotation

My general rotation is mostly just Sp2 spam to build up Concussions until you’re ready for the knockout Sp3. To that end, you want to throw Sp2s while you’re just under 3 bars so you can get to Sp3 as quickly as possible when you’re ready, and you want to keep your Hydrations up and only convert them to Concussions just before you throw Sp2 to preserve their duration. Once you’ve thrown that Sp3 and inflicted a ton of Bleeds/Physical Vulnerabilities, just go in and hit the opponent, the Thorns will quickly finish matters.

If you need the utility of True Accuracy, just start the fight with a Sp1 and proceed as usual, throwing additional Sp1s in between the Sp2s as necessary. Once you’ve got a good stack of Concussions a single Sp1 will give you literal minutes of True Accuracy, so while it’ll slow your ramp a bit you won’t have to focus on upkeep for long.

Also important note: Attuma really wants max sig (or close to it) on offense. He straight up doesn’t inflict Thorns on hit unawakened, and the Thorns damage post-Sp3 is significantly worse without the extra potency boost they get per Bleed. The starting Concussions also boost his ramp speed. The Bleed Resistance is also just a really nice piece of utility that lets him handle a lot of extra matchups, and he needs high sig for it to be reliable.

Really appreciate the thorough explanation. You don’t have a video of that quake fight by any chance? Mine is like natural sig 140 now or so, but never made it past r3. He might now, especially should I get him ascended.

II've Loved him since the day i saw his deep dive and so glad he got the little tune up. I've used him more than most skill champs and still never really gone for the sp3 since his sp1 sp2 loop is mostly what I go for in bgs but definitely gonna try out some more rotations with him
