Love your swarm videos! One thing to note is that your weapons actually scale off of multiple stats. If you hover over one of them like your basic weapon, it first shows the stat it evolves with, but below that, there’s more stats that make your weapon even stronger. For example, Yasuo’s basic weapon Steel Tempest evolves with Critical Chance, but also scales with Damage, Projectile Count, Ability Haste etc. I find it helpful to try to get all the stats that make my basic weapon stronger, and choose weapons that evolve with these stats!

Classic i0ki, has 1 projectile weapon (gatling bunny guns don't count), maxes projectile count before anything else.

This first run is unbelievably unoptimized, I love it

mateeeeeeee. Really enjoying the swarm videos. Would be cool to see the FFS get back in it again. I am so gutted for you with the end of that video :(

I would recommend unlocking the last two weapons, see what they do. I mean, something called "The Annihilator" has to be good, right?

Okay so all the tips for Swarm pre-patch, you have to take with a grain of salt. They truly cranked the difficulty up, but I just finished all champs solo extreme Aatrox and I have a couple tips for you or anyone who has found themselves struggling here. Yuumi Quests, it is damn near impossible to outdamage Aatrox unless you get the augment that increases your damage with your speed, if possible also grab the one that gives you movement speed based on your haste, the two of these combined will add over 200% to your damage, even on the slow champions, with no downside. The first one on Yasuo/Jinx/Riven adds 300%+ by itself. Also with this patch the Bel'Veth quests are bugged, so you're going to want exp, and not only that, Aatrox has a very simple attack pattern in phase one with almost no obstacles, after you break free from the pillar, instead of damaging him, kill the mobs and farm exp until you're maxed out. I was averaging 1.5-2 levels per cycle to make up for the deficit. (Leave a couple of cards on the beach if your weapons aren't maxed and get them when you're ready) Strategy for phase 2 You'll want to enter the base and hug the right-most corner closest to the beach until Aatrox comes up to you and slams his sword down. This will make a large area on the left side of the base where you can kite him and maneuver around where the flying swords won't reach. When he chains you up, break free and go back to that right side until he repeats the sword animation. Rinse and repeat. Doing this will let you see what you're actually getting hit by from Aatrox, so that you can improve instead of just feeling like you got cheated. The final and most important tip, get ice armor. You don't have to level it up, definitely don't prioritize getting armor to evolve it, but this allows you to get hit by a stray ability every 4-7 seconds depending on the level it's at and take no damage. It's more valuable than any amount of dps because you're going to get hit by something. It is inevitable. If anyone is interested in champion specific tips, let me know and I'll share my strategy/build for each of them below.

@48 minutes I had a flashback to ioki saying the 25% hp plus regen yuumi augment would be worthless

Cannot wait for your full solo run when it drops on live servers! 😭♥️ You are the swarm king!

That fight was as intended afaik. He chains you into a dps check at the end. Aatrox is difficult and allows very few mistakes even with 5 evolutions.

Genuinely loved all these videos

Finally!

Omg I was on the edge of my seat!!!

"This is the run" Ioki ;)

glad you didnt take tibbers on Leona early. I am pretty sure he's bugged too and doesn't drop XP from mobs he kills

low key... kinda glad how this ended so we get more runs... I want this series to continue.... at least keep going until you max out anima power.... and beat aatrox with each character...

Area damage + crit + cdr on electric Leona looks great

Wait. Area size!!??? Daaaamn, that must be a new update or something. Time to go back to swarm!!

Nah nah ioki, you gotta win with all characters now

Passing haste on alaoi is begging to lose

16:06 You have 6 stats and 5 weapons. So you technically can have 5 different stats that evo 5 different weapons and 1 extra for your build.

wish they give this the TFT treatment. imagine adding all the league chjaracters in.

I swear that I saw this video a few days ago.... Oh wait, that was just a video with the same title.

area size?

Does anyone know if Swarm is connected to the Challenges system? Like can you unlock Challenge tokens & new titles? 😃

Does he actually have game where he wins?

UWU Blaster for bosses >>>>>>>>

seeing you take projectile count every single round, especially when you play characters or take weapons it gives no benefit to physically hurts

He love picking weapons and passive skills that are bad for the champion he are playing with haha.

first?

I swear ioki finish the game, and still makes the same mistakes as day 1 🫠🫠🤣
