Honestly I like the new fuffing around format, it feels more natural

Yay or nay ?

Love the newer format. More like a conversation rather than a presentation.

The duration of the impale scales with combo counter. So at 12x, if you heavy attack, they remain impaled for much longer than baseline

Yes! It's like a mini lesson in mechanics in the "but why" series. But I get frustrated with sweaty creators that take this stuff so seriously and don't show the frustrations or happy accidents that come from testing. Your content stands out because of that ❤

This is probably one of the most enjoyable weapon showcases I’ve seen Seeing you try different builds, work around the issues, and even change out the evolutions helped me understand the weapon a *lot* better. It didn’t feel boring nor did it feel confusing, and I actually understood the choices you made unlike with a lot of builds out there! 100% a yay from me ::p

I like this new format, but I think you need to add a little bit of the old one in as well. A bit of information about what you're covering, the look at the stats and mats for crafting, what the incarnon evos are, but as you go through the video. For fans who follow you, this format is great, for new players that are looking for information about things, less so- but I think you can strike a balance to make these the best versions of your videos.

absolutely in love with the newer style. it feels very organic and it does kinda help to see the thought process when making (weird) builds since they most defenitely deviate from the normal stuff. I'd also really love to see your thought process when making full (more or less weird) loadouts for different frames and weapons :)

I absolutely love this thing. It’s a slam attacking monster with those impaling spikes, not to mention the mutation that rewards you with extra combo for hitting enemies with slam attacks.

I really like the format because of the way you reason through things.

The format feels nice, you get to see the tinkering and get a better feel for how the build comes together and it's cool seeing your process.

Love the new format with the new stuff, it feels so natural and organic discovering all the features and details alongside with you Mr.KZfaq. It is more enjoyable watching you having such a blast testing things, please continue!

New format 100%. You sound like you're having a lot of fun with the trial and error and as a viewer that is refreshing to see. It's also nice that people watching can interact with suggestions and what not based off things you may have missed or did not know. As always was really fun watching this video and now I have a new way to look at these fun looking knuckles.

Finally someone covers the ruvox

I'm a huge fan of the new format. It's fun watching you tinker with different ideas and make the thing you like work.

I like the very improve comedy of the videos and that there was a small little serious summary at the end, also Ive been planning to play with the ruvox myself, its been a pain to build though, thank you for showing me what is possible!

I love the new format. Seeing every step of the way towards the final build helps people realize why you went with one mod instead of another and teaches the right mentality to have while making a build. However, there is something missing from this and the Arca Titron videos: a proper end of video build showcase, something that someone trying to replicate the build and playstyle can jump to/replay over and over to truly learn the specific showcased build.

I like your new format man. Thank you.

Love this format I'd say a recap at the end is needed as well

I really enjoy this format! I think the only change I would ask is if you could add a section before your final commentary reviewing the build in its entirety and recapping how it works. It just helps things solidify in my brain because your videos are where I go when I try and understand *why* buillds work rather than just copying builds

This is honestly the best format!

I like the exploration and experimentations of these videos, but I think it would be nice to have a section at the end where you present your final build and conclusions.

Ok, the new format? Love it. Keep it up uncle MC.

Its really fun to watch you testing stuff, now we need you to do some testing builds on the Onos

Absolutely the new format. You sound like you are having way more fun, and that comes across to the viewer, it's really important One of my favourite things about this style is you can see where and when and why you put on forma. It's really easy to look at a 3-4 forma build and go "great, another forma sink". But with this style of video I can actually see the difference investing a forma or two vs not. Seeing a pre forma build as part of the process really shows you: A) why each forma used is needed and; B) what damage you can kind of expect for each forma used Love this style, and as long as you do as well, you should keep it up

I like how Ruvox is Dante melee... like they intentionally make a wizard like character with a hand to hand melee, as a reference to Mashle

Your new style of videos is really great, since during the process of experimentation you explain your ideas and mod choices very well. I reckon that it needs a quick segment at the beginning that covers all of the usual stuff (basic stats, method of aquisition, required crafting materials, incarnon evos/special abilities et cetera), and maybe more extended summary at the end that recaps and explains the build and maybe gives some insight into strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed weapon, so that players who want to pick it up know what they can work with and what do they need to work around. I also agree with you - we need more unconventional weapons. Knowing that DE doesn't release as many of them as they used to trading off weapon quantity for quality, unique mechanics and builds.

I just love listening to you having fun in this game nowadays

Love the format! Would love a section at the end that has a clear view of the mods you used.

Absolutely Amazing video, also thanks for the sensible and thoughtfull guide, instead of trying to brute force the basic set Up

i like the new sort of video format where you are figuring out the weapon it very much feels more natural than other build videos where the dude already has 5 forma arcane and exilus adapters on the weapon.

Nice new format! Maybe a tiny bit more of "initial description". I'm sure you read the gimmick and the perks once when choosing how to use it (which perk, build for slam) so seeing that too would be good info on the weapon.

I looove this format, it really shows why things ended up the way they do, and it's just fun

I like the new style but I would also like if you briefly recapped the final build and how it works at the end of the video

Normal slam won't trigger Tennokai, but you can light attack proc Tennokai then heavy slam without loosing combo, but I guess the build up here is so fast then there is no reason to.

I like it tbh, but then again id watch all the things you put out lol

I too tend to faff around and find out, so seeing the whole process is more enjoyable and educational from that perspective.

Mine should be done building by tonight. I'll have to try out your build.

Kullervo and the new augment could help keep up combo counter. The falling blades give combo and his one gets you to the next group quicker. Might try this.

I'm going to have to pick it up myself soon, but I think it's got some REALLY interesting potential as a status spreader/support weapon impale enemies for the status vulnerability, run the melee arcane that makes the weapon's status contagious on elec proc, build for viral elec, and max out slam damage just some ideas I'm gonna try out, it looks like a lot of fun, especially FOR MY DANTE, who only really uses slam attacks to quickly deal with enemies that take no damage from abilities, like arbi drones

Video format is good and works, it's a solid showcase of how to actually come up with your own builds and we need more of that in this community. The weapon itself, I feel... weird about, because we already had honestly pretty good Fist Incarnons with Furax Wraith. Before these came out there was a lot of mixed messaging on if it would be Fists or Sparring, and we don't have a Sparring one so I'm surprised we didn't go with that... And to be clear, Furax Wraith fucks if you build it right. You can make it for light attacks with the impact-bleed perk, or now you can do what I did the other night and make it for slams, and I was straight up beating a Gyre, a Protea and a Dante in KPM over the course of 40 minutes by building super aggressively around them having 90% Heavy Efficiency for slams specifically. So like... making another slam-based pair of fists just feels odd to me because there's kinda no good option; either they're worse than what we have already, or they invalidate an Incarnon Genesis and that's even stranger. I guess you could do something interesting with these, where you build for a mix of light and heavy using Tennokai, and do a 12x slam when it procs for maximum duration on the spikes? That could be interesting, at least. I dunno.

For incarnons specifically I'd like to see at the beginning which evolutions are avaliable, not only the ones you chose. Otherwise very good video format, it's very fun

okay, nice to know this is a wierd weapon, i got the arm cannon before this, heck i got dante before this thing. looking forward to getting it, seems fun. i do really like the faffing around format, feels fresh. :)

I think it depends, when I looking for a more information based details focused coverage of stuff I prefer your older style of stuff, but just seeing what someone can do with it I do enjoy the more casual style. Especially if it's older stuff or things that are being revisited. That being said, I feel the 2 ways of covering weapons and such can coexist and possibly even should coexist if you have the inclination to do so.

Could you by any chance try out the furax incarnon? im curious if this slam change affects the furax incarnon mode. (I dont have it yet otherwise id try it myself)

The newer style feels like 'fucking around and finding out' in all the best ways, especially when the 'finding out' sounds like hysterics in incredulity 😅

I wonder if makeing a convetional build and then useing tennokai for heavy slam attacks might be intresting.

I love Rovux cuz the incarnon form looks sick and I just like how it feels to slowly wind up a punch for 20,000,000 dmg with kullervo

Only nay about this weapon is the -attack speed when in incarnon form. turns a pretty good feeling fist weapon into a chore to use, especially against high armor enemies (and netracell nerds but they're just built different)

Ruvox is great! I used a Tennokai build due to the heavy slams also being able to be activated by opportunity attacks to buff them and conserve the combo. Also, the heavy attacks themselves would obliterate anything, including one shotting steel path acolytes. I like this weapon's focus on slam attacks which makes me think they implemented that buff to melee slams in this update purely because of this thing.

Can you try out the Vitrica? With the slam changes i can see it being much better with its glass gimmick

@MCGamerCZ can you pls do a vid on how to do the second chappenge im actually puzzled

i do wonder if tennokai does or doesnt work, dont got the weapon to directly test atm, but diciplines merit is always a good check to see if certain actions do or dont. infact its how i found out that thrown weapons trigger tennokai, but its basicly 1 attack per throw since i think the trigger for tennokai is per melee attack and despite it bouncing is still only 1 attack.

Fun fact I learned in the circuit the hard way, Incarnon weapons you don't have cant transform.

Interesting, I used a crit slam build and would nuke anything and a small radius around me with constant 12× combo from melee crescendo. Nice to see diffrent slam builds work

It’s weird but a good way and still finding a good build and might use this

I don't mind it it seems to do some dmg but it seems a bit more useful for cc than anything, but I can get passed evo challenge 2 am I meant to get kills with the incarnon activation or kills once it's activated I can't seem to make progress for it

Oh i would love more weapons with weird incarnon mods that you have to build around for some wicked fun.

You do understand you can build combo with normal attacks and tennokai a heavy slam, right?

I enjoy the stream of consciousness format 👍

Nice, totally doing this with it

I like this format. I assume you'll be making a similar video on that secondary weapon too, yeah?

Modding onos has also been a fever spell.

i suggest to start using tennokai with it, opportunistic reach allows FAR more heavy slams which proc the impales. i also like to run melee exposure so i can have both corrosive and viral. your content is good both ways, keep it up.

why the puncture status for the last evo?

I put this on Voruna... I very much recommend it. I've never used 0 speed on a melee in a long time, but with Rauta and the heavy attack efficiency from Voruna you can essentially become a repeating meteor of spikes... it's so much fun

if you can get your hands on the prisma ohma you should try it with melee influence ive been having a lot of fun with it

It's a nice fun weird melee, definitely worth get

What i did with Ruvox in the testing grounds, i used Valkyr+augment on her 3 and mele crescendo (don't know if i spell ir right) on the Ruvox with gas elemental damage. I just get them close to me, build the combo and activate de incarnon, when they are piled up and stick around (all puns intended) the gas just finish them off. Another thing about the impalement leave enemies open for finishers (finishers ignores armor if anyone doesn't know) and still procs gas damage and does a lot I still need to do more testing Of course this weapon is disliked, but is more likely due to not able to do 2 billon on crits or status in the first hit since this is a build up mele, not something straight foward

What's your build on harold?

do you even need to invest in heavy attack efficiency mods if you just go for Tennokai and a pure electricity mods? unless you literally only want to spam heavy slams, which works too lol

come on and slam and welcome to the jam.

one thing about this is that, the status vulnerability add flat 35% status chance on every hit on the impaled enemies. this include every pallets of shotguns... should try combo this with full spool Kuva Kohm that split out nearly 40 pallets per second with Galvanized Hell. since at full spool, its status chance is reduced to 7.5% per pallets. With Ruvox slam, that is increased to 42.5% per pallets so, idk, approximately 4.5 times more status proc?

Im happy that I'm not the only one with a base melee duplicate lol

I had a hard time buildding the parts because I kept writing "Roblox" on the foundry search bar

Onos build when? (I dont need a build i just want to see arm cannon)

I'm building the parts for it now

At 3:44 when he finally puts a decent build on.

I put killing blow and seismic slam on with my ruvox and disciplines merit with melee animosity and pure heat mods so now my heavy slams red crit and 1 shot, I dont think I've actually ran into that survives it and if they did they burned alive in 1 tick XD

Wee need more weird good weapon, Jut the Blueprint of this puppy yesterday

Use tennokai for the heavy slams they now work correctly

Now we just need a skin that replaces it with a pogo stick. Somehow.

Absolutely Yay

Yay. Actually helps with understanding how weapon building helps

I wish all incarnons were this interesting

I'd still go for Sampotes for slams.

huge fan of the newer format

Hard yes on the format

Just little criticism, when you review an incarno weapon pls show us all possible evolutions.

Its amazing that he managed to put a Tennokai mod and failed to capitalize on it.

Uhm, interesting. Mine is cooking right now, so... This weapons are really interesting... kinda want to see the onos, its wweird too, and i should try tennokai on the corufell now, another weird weapon.

I did not see that you forgot to put in organ shatter and i'm glad that nobody saw that I forgot to put in pressure point. 😉 This weapon seems to force these mistakes.

Interesting.

hooray for weird weapons

I say Yay!

I like it

I would ask that you just add what the best load out was at the end so that you don't interrupt the flow of the video that you have going.

I play Yareli again.

Definitely not meta but definitely viable for basically just about anything and everything.

Yay
