Not sure if you noticed but your weapons tell you what stats help them scale at the bottom, it's not just the ones they evolve with.

On hard or story anything goes, especially with the state of your permanent upgrades, but on extreme it begins to matter and especially extreme aatrox is hard on most champs even with a lot of levels in the anima. Start the game with an idea of what weapons you want. UwU is always a priority, at least in the beta (go watch your prior runs and note which ones were easy and which werent and notice all the essy runs probablyhad uwu and if not, everything else was just perfect. Its OP, take it). So always grab it, few exceptions, but you'll notice what they are when extreme mode clicks. Youll want to have like 3 or 4 weapons that are must takes and about 3 that are solid options with synergy with the first set. Usually the 2nd set should share stat upgrades with the first set. Theres also some shit weapons, but youll notice eith time. Time bombs and searing arrows cant evolve in beta, so those but other like lament are bad. When you get a level, here is a priority list: 1. A weapon on the first list. You dont have. 2. A stat that upgrades the first list you dont have. 3. A weapon on the 2nd list you dont have so long as its not preventing the first list, if so use RR. 4. A stat for the 2nd list you dont have, so long as it wont prevent evolution of the first list, if it would then RR. 5. A weapon on the first list you do have to lvl up. 6. A wepon on the 2nd list you have to lvl up. 7. A stat on the first list you have. 8. Stat on the 2nd list you have. 9. If none of the above are options, RR. 10. If out of RR, take a generic good stat, damage, haste, health, movespeed, crit, armor. Or take a crap weapon, but odds are good on extreme aatrox that this might result in a death at the boss. Not perfect, but vaslty improves what youre doing now. Lol. Very rarely with this list will you get into a bind where youre forced to take something that doesnt work. The kiracle run is tou finish list 1 and 2 in both weapons and stats and youve got level 1 in all of them by like level 15. Then you're free to just focus on mechanics. Do Yuumi and Bel'veth asap. I auspect they have a timer that starts when they finish until they next and this can allow you plenty of time to do the final ones. Obviously, dont die for them, but you seem to get that so thats good. It is better to fail a challenge than the run, but always try to asap. Leave all cards unless youre struggling. Theres yuumi quests that give bonuses based on the cards you take, so its a potential insane upside for whats posisbly no downside if youre getting good wepaons from levels. At minimum you can take cards up to about 8-9 min and then leave as many as you have weapons that need evolved, but its always best to leave them if possible incase you get one of those. (This was mostly a copy/paste from the last vid.)

Your swarm videos is like an episode I'm watching every day 😂 Love this series 💜
@shirokku3279Ай бұрын
Something that has been mentioned in the previous video's comments by someone else, I think it might be a good idea to pick up cards as they come for the first 5 to 8 minutes or so, just to get you towards your upgrades faster. Then for the latter few bosses and quests/challenges that drop a card, after that 8 minute mark, you can leave them for your Evolutions. That is of course assuming you aren't able to snag an evolution at the time, like you have before where you got Lvl 5 on a level up and a card to evolve it in the span of a few seconds. So it wouldn't be some kind of hard rule you NEED to stick to, just something to keep in mind. Early on when you only have 2 passives, maybe 2 or 3 weapons, the cards should only give you what you already have, so that'll be good to get those leveled up early and leave some room for taking new stuff with your level ups. Backseat gaming aside, these really are fun to watch and seeing your journey as you learn the game and genre has been awesome, thanks for the uploads!

with xayah, the haste fluctuation shard, uwu, crossbow, static, fourth weapon can be anything, focus on getting early haste and damage, the gigachad of builds u can even sacrifice ur hp for dmg, and if u have over 300 haste, u take the 30 less haste 30% more dmg shard aswell, u dont need survivability at all, i did a run on extreme with only 600~ hp

@MrZaceversАй бұрын
Do all quests and pick up everything before 8-9 minutes. Unless you are really lucky you won't get level 5 weapons by then. And you'll still have bosses and belveth quests to get cards .

It was the Ani Mines and searing bow that can't currently evolve, not the Anti-Shark mines. Satchel mines need area (bugged) sphere mines need damage (A tier evolve)

Any time you take 'extra projectiles' (which is really good) you really should prioritize taking projectile weapons to maximize the value. Every additional projectile weapon is adding more scaling to the passive you've already taken, but picking up something like tibbers, bunny guns, or the ice armor is leaving free damage on the table. Leaving cards is fine, but you could probably pick up the first few to help you get ahead early, there will be plenty of cards and your limiting your potential.

@Krfification101Ай бұрын
You may have already realized this, but it may be beneficial to prioritize getting weapons that are evolved by the same passive stat as your basic weapon, if there are any. I'm sure you know that pressing tab will show you which ones have this synergy. Besides that, you might consider making a tier list of weapons for each character, same with passive stats. If you've already considered these things before a game, you won't have to think for as long when you get a level up. You already have an idea of which stats and weapons you want with a given character.

@MarkedlywastakenАй бұрын
You need to be doing the Belveth and Yuumi Quests on spawn. The reason you one shot in the first part of the video is because you were scaling faster because you did three Yuumi Quests but in a lot of these videos for some reason you only do one or even non. I explained this and other strats and the reasons behind them in a comment in yesterdays video. You don't even have to pick up xp just set a circular route around the map which you can follow so you only have to focus one direction and this allows you to come back to xp you dropped earlier. The only time to deviate from a route is to do the Belveth, Yuumi Quests or fight a boss that drops a guaranteed Access Card other wise you should be exploring the map to find those chest to pick up gold and xp vaccuums rather than trying to fight fight the swarm. They'll always come to you so you can let your passive abilities deal with those around of you and your active abilites(E and ult) to escape or deal with the swarm infront of you while you explore the map.

approaching 300 games in swarm now. 100% agreed on aurora being... a bit lacking in high difficulty. weapons wise.... Statikk, bunny crossbow and UwU blaster are absolute nobrainers for me when they come up. most of my successful runs on extreme i had all 3 fully evolved.

I feel like I don’t see enough people prioritizing Ability Haste. It’s basically attack speed for your basic ability and your weapons. 100% if you can manage to fit it into your build, you should every time

With how much Riot charges for a skin, I doubt they'd sell it for $5. But it is a good idea. I do enjoy this game mode quite a bit. It would be nice if they added other characters too. Because Sylas would be a great addition. His ultimate could basically be decided on what stats you pick up since all of the other units prioritize them and such, and then his main one could be omnivamp or something useful like that since I am sure Briar would benefit from that since she kinda falls off in Extreme mode. But just a thought. I do agree they should bring this back. Hopefully it doesn't end up like Odyssey and Star Guardian. Would suck.

in regards to leaving cards- I would only leave one up and that's if your close to evolving a weapon. Remember that those cards are pretty much as good as a level up. If you pick it up you get more damage which gets you more xp which get you more damage. Leaving the cards really stunts your growth in the early game, and because of the fact they can level up your weapons- it can actually delay your evolutions in the long run. Leaving several cards is more something you do if you're almost at the boss and are concerned you won't get another one before that boss
