If anyone finds errors in the math please let me know.!! The 1.061 damage modifier from sharen was due to the reactors bonus skill mod. I thought it would be calculated in the stats but I guess it isn't. Math's right though

When you said "With Destiny 10 years is enough" I felt that deep within my soul.

Hope this was better than the last attempt. let me know if yall saw both

Thabks for breaking this all down. We need a crunchier math based analysis to raise the overall community's knowlage instead if the million S tier builds with "this feels so strong"

These math breakdowns are so good man.

Been enjoying your explanations. I bet this must have been wild to condense. Thanks for clarifying your explanations

loving all these thanks so much

Thank you for doing all this hard work for us!

I feel like your builds on Mobalytics would blow up - in a good way!

love the information driven videos. hard to find objective stuff this early into a game.

GOATED content. Your weapon video actually helped me a lot with creating my build.

Legend, just subscribed. Your in depth detail and explanation of stats is epic. Looking forward to the future content, keep up the great work.

I look forward to seeing your Valby build

One banger after the next! This is pure awesomeness work. Thank you

For the reactors you only need to have the weapon equipped for the gold ones. The purple ones just need a weapon type in your loadout. Which makes both types worth considering. You lose 20%, but that is better than losing 40% more when you switch weapon.

I love synthwave music! good videos, thanks for the explanation 👍

love these videos! thank you so much!

This man about to blow up .

You're a saint. Thank you.

I love video games and math so i am very happy to find your channel!

Love the math breakdowns to mechanics. I like the phonk sound and it gives your channel a different vibe then other guide channels I've seen that seem to all use some Lo-Fi sound.

"not complaining, I'm into it.. :)" feels great to see someone do what they love/like.

I love you and your math. It's been years since a KZfaqr used exact formulas in a game I play. I love this so much. DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBING

Thanks for this. You got a sub and this changes how I plan to build my Viessa. I was stacking skill power modifier while ignoring the multiplicative skills..

Just found your channel, every video is incredibly informative. Thankyou :)

Thanks for breaking down the math for us. Always appreciate getting the equations instead of a build. If you like the math of games than Path of exile 2 might be a good one to look into. The first game was insane for building and there is a ton of math to wade through

Love your mathematical approach. Please make an Ajax build guide asap. Thanks in advance!

Great video! Thank you for this! Your explanation was super helpful. I think A good way to help make it easier to understand would be adding before and after images side by side while speaking about a certain module or additional affixes changing a certain modifier, and possibly related tests to show the changed numbers in real time. Easy to say I know haha! Just a thought. Again great vid and thanks!

I lovveeee these types of videos . Easiest sub of my life

Yo!!! This made so much sense!!! Thanks. I come from warframe and this make sense to know what is all multiplicative with each other. I think this videos was much clearer than your last one. So we can put the right mods without diminishing returns.

You’re the BEST! ❤

I am a former math major and play descendant and..... I love your content. Thank you!!!

I think this is a definite upgrade over the first video. Comparitively more data presented here, and neatly organised in an understandable method. I mean, math still sucks, but it makes general modding easier.

Keep it up ! This was very well done.

Most informative videos yet.

This is so helpful. It would be amazing to have one spreadsheet that you could input the modules and it calculates the skill damage. (I guess same as firearm dps and defense too!)

Thanks for your effort mate

Thank goodness for your math. I cannot wait for you to explain the voodoo magic that is Defense stats.

These vids are awesome dude keep it up!

Oh cool we have a kengineer :) a lot of this info is critical to best understand how to build, appreciate this

Keep doing the math! These are great breakdowns that give actual information. I've had Warframe's excellent wiki to look at for so long it's strange playing another game and having none of this figured out yet lol

I love the way you break these downs.I sit and watch while doing the kupier farm 😭

Super helpful thanks dude

Aww hell yeah, the true content of first descendant: math! Subbed.

Awesome vids dude thanks

You’ve earned yourself a sub my friend

Nice man! You're the only one that actually explains how these work instead of just "S+ Tier build" with a Solo Boss clip whic is easy to do once you get the gear.

Hey man thanks for the hard work bro! im lazy lol but thanks for doing all the labor!

Thanks alot. Super useful

What I would have loved to have seen is more example mods and what would be a recommended setup for this, as it helps with breakdowns of the numbers. But honestly, you have been the best channel for optimizing builds. I subbed after the first video I watched and am looking forward to seeing more.

At this point, I'm just here for the math lessons. Would've liked you as my professor. Good videos! Keep it up!

Top notch explanations. I would love if you added to these videos what the game is doing to generate numbers (more for firearm DPS) vs what is reality. Also production note, totally worth cleaning up the in frame area of your space, including the desk and floor reflections.

Thanks for the vid and reexplaining ma man, as for tips. making "on screen texts" representing what you are talking about helps with the confusion it might cause because it's hard to keep multiple details in mind at once. For example you can show the damage formula on screen and then highlight each part and have a small note to go with it which summarizes the point you are trying to get across so in case of confusion there is something to fall back to.

I thought the information was delivered well the first time, but this is also quite clear, so still great as far as I'm concerned. I'm really waiting for the defense video. So nice of the game to tell me that my defense can mitigate up to 80% damage but not tell me what % of mitigation my current amount of defense gives anywhere that I can find. Very clear Nexon, thanks (or maybe I'm just blind we'll see).

Bro, I'm a fellow old gamer and man, you are hands down the best content creator for this game. Keep up the great work man. The math helps so much

All this math videos reminds me of the one time i found the keching mains calculations from genshin impact, it was like a 60 page long eassay with very complex math and i couldn't understand a thing. Thanks for managing to explain this game's math in such an understanding way

This channel landed on my feed with a 3% drop rate chance✨

THANK YOU!

Love the break down im subbing

Absolutely the best info I've found. Instead of just telling me the best mods to use. You show us why. Sub from me

The way that Skill Power Modifier works is something that I think a lot of folks are misunderstanding (including the fact that it's a different bonus than +Skill Power). I'm glad you gave it its own section in the video haha.

We neeeeeeeeed defense next I appreciate the videos I don’t have the patience

Thanks for this! Another way to just make this easy is just look at the before and after percentage numbers. For example, if you put a skill power modifier and it changes from 500% (grey/bnfore) to 1000% (green/after), then you know that you got a 100% boost, which is A LOT!. If it changes from like 500% to 550%, then you know the difference is small and not worth it. Swap out mod and try another, then relook at stats

Best TFD content creator with very well made videos.

In Two vids. Im impressed. I click the sub button for you sir.

Solid videos. Subbed.

You had me at hello. Nice work.

Unlike Legendary reactors, Rare reactors only require to have correct weapon type equipped to get their 40% boost. IMO that shoud be changed ASAP - just having equipped the correct legendary weapon is a requirement enough, while not only having equipped but also holding the correct weapon is an overkill...

thanks man 👍

Best channel!

Thank you

Great video man. I need Sharen build so bad if u don’t mind people says she sucks but I think there’s hella potential there

Thank you for the remark on the things people should look for, even when they are dumb as me. 😂

Love the more methodical content. The numbers are definitely confusing overall and could use a dedicated video to explain how percentages and whatnot are applied. Seems they've also fixed/updated some things today.

New or not doesn’t matter, you’re videos are good 👍

I love your content, cant wait until you do a review on Blair, i'm messing around with his "Truly Deadly Cuisine" mod which modifies his 4th to do nearly 7,000% skill power damage and have been able to hit 2.4m-4m crits with it depending on the faction of vulgus you face. was wondering if it would be worth adding more skill power modifier considering the modifier is already so high.

Your helping me so much man. I am trying so hard to play sharon. Im doing ok but i need a build guide for her

I think everyone would love if you would do that on excel instead, and afterwards publish it on google docs, so people can download and add their own numbers and play around with it. Also for understanding and reading, I think excel is better than any handwriting. Hope your channel grows! Love this kind of content

I would love to see an spreadsheet doc that is made with each Mod Chip (maxed stats at minimum, or best having stats of each level as depending on your capacity, you might not want to max the chip....). Ideally, each chip would then be sorted into columns of their respective damage modifier pool type. Maybe add in color to chips if they belong to a specific type (thus can only equip one). This way you can further visually see if you wanted to use two chips but cannot as you would not be able to place two of the same color on a build.... This would really help in planning out the build and knowing which would be ideal for each character/skill. Please make something to this effect. It would be amazing.

Looking forward to character guides specifically for Sharen, looking to main her myself.

Thanks for the explanation but besides "get bigger numbers" a recommendation of action at the very end would be helpful as well

Subbed, just based off you using sharen lol

Nice math dude

OMG no math headache I understood it... let me mark this glorious day. On top of it I did it right hurray!

Dropping a comment for the algo. I can see you becoming the Kengineer of TFD.

Commenting because I want to know all about defense and how the DR calcs work.

I would love to see you try building Path of Exile

you're doing God's work. One suggestion that could improve the quality of these videos: download one of the many screen drawing softwares so you can draw arrows or circle the line items you mention or so you can write out the formulas as you say them.

i noticed in the lab that skills get snapshotted. so for example on bunny, i got a thunder cage weapon ultimate reactor and when i use my lightning aoe skill (lightning emission) with that weapon equipped and then switch to lets say a tamer, the damage stays the same, and vice versa. so for like bosses, i could use bunnys aoe skill with thunder cage equipped then switch to tamer while jumping around the bosses for even more damage. so im sure you can use the same logic for any descendant and skills etc, if all skills snapshot like that.

hi! could you make a bunny video where you try out all the skill power and modifiers and what not. Her AOE has multiple stages to it, theres the impact damage and there is also some kind of electrocution dmg happening in the inner circle. I been trying to theory craft how to build and what to build to get the highest damage possible but im lost. I think it would be very interesting if you could showcase if a raw skillpower build or whatever else is best in slot for her dmg out. She also has a ton of mods with skill power and modifiers and electric boost ratio, singular boost ratio and what not, its very overwhelming. Thank you so much!

So basically, use "Skill Modifier" on lower percentage abilities (70% or 200%), which are often damage over time abilities like poisoning an enemy, and use "Skill Power" on abilities with high percentage values (800% or 5000%)

Nice breakdown of info, thanks! As far as the music, keep it chill and don't play anything too abrasive/intense (an example of that is the last song played on this vid). IMO Lofi is great just keep it to instrumentals minus crazy synth sounds.

You should make mathematically correct builds for every descendant, starting with the starter 3

Great video, small note tough. At some point you mention that stacking skill power from multiple sources is better than using one source, for example base skill power and primary element skill power (toxic, chill, etc). For certain module choices though, this does not hold. When choosing a 'Battle'-type module, your choices are typically between the common 'Specialist' modules (max 81.2% Element Skill Power), 'Focus on' modules (max 77% Element Skill Power) and 'Master' modules (max 44.4% Base Skill Power and 19% Element Skill Power). As the Master modules provide boosts to both sources, some people may believe this would be a better option. Doing the math reveals that both 'Focus on' and 'Specialist' modules outperform the Master modules.

Actual testing and math? I love finding new channels that are truly devoted to game mechanics, not hearsay and hype.

You're getting a like and a sub just for pulling out the blackboard.

hey thanks

Could you add priorities on which ones to stack to what degrees. Like if you have 100 skill power and 100 electric power then you should do what next.

please do more Sharen videos, its so hard to find youtubers making sharen vids , thank you

Can you do a healing video? I’m maining Yujin and trying to do an “Undying” build with high defense. I wanna know how to maximize his healing and cooldowns
