veilwalker on haze??? seems unneccesary

Tesla fall off later because of attack speed stacking with any damage items much more :)

Great video, another thing I've seen basically no one talk about yet are matching item buys with ability upgrades. For example: my Seven build has a massive spike at 8k souls exactly, which is when I get my T3 3 upgade, and finish my laning items + Slowing Hex, Tesla, Fleetfoot that creates a very strong powerspike all at once. But if I'd go for another 3k item instead of buying fleetfoot for 1250, I would be farming for another 1750 souls while I already have my T3 3 upgrade ready. I don't really play any other heroes but I'm sure you can do similar things on other heroes. Another example would be buying a combat barrier on haze right at 3k so you have a really strong all in as soon as you unlock your ult.

Good video! I’ve been grinding the game hard but the items can be super confusing. This helped as I did not really understand the differences between armor and shields.

Good video. Would like to see you with a pre-game or in game example

Hey, thanks for the video, I got some useful information out of it. Two things you should consider for your next videos: 1. Write out a script and mostly stick to it to avoid long pauses where you think about what to say next or how to explain your point. 2. Use a different mic / fix whatever is causing the static, its really uncomfortable to listen to.

Hey deruitsu! Do you have discord by any chance?

I think a lot of people forget a lot about "opportunity cost" Your items don't just have to be good, to be the best build it has to be better than any other option that you could build.

w video, I was working on a build while you posted LMAO

This is the only kind of yapper I want lol

I like seeing more numbers popping up, so it's good

I think active reload is not bad on haze if you're planning to splitpush - because you don't need to waste your knife when you fall back and rather use it to escape with your cloak

Active reload is funny on abrams

great early game value

I won't say all the tests you did are useless cause it actually gives a more accurate response to people hating on Tesla. Now what a lot of people miss to realize, Tesla also procs on spirit. The only way to allow it not to fall off as you say late game would be to build up spirit. Then again, there are far better items late game. Another thing is now with haze needing a bit more spirit for her ult, Tesla can stay in your slot for at least 30min maybe even until 45min into the game only because its still that good while building spirit items. In any case, Tesla will always be a rushed item for me in early game.

One of the reasons people don’t choose Tesla is because if you’d rather have ricochet then you don’t want both.

This makes sense because tesla does flat damage. It's best early game and falls off unless you have spirit scaling.

Tesla = fun = good

I'm pretty sure it's just because people build it in a match, check the damage report, and see that it did 30 damage over the last minute. Maybe people ignore/don't care about the other stats it gives and just focus on the damage the lightning does

tesla does worse later on a gun stick haze build compared to burst cause firerate just means youre able to pump out more gun damage while tesla scales spirit so by mid/late the raw value of tesla doesnt catch up to the amount of weapon damage you have, spiritual overflow/general spirit items can make tesla do good damage much longer into the game

I think its good but you have to commit and get improved cdr on ult or dagger and many would just prefer to go attk speed route

wtf ppl are really saying its bad? it's pretty epic to get myth slow + bullet shredder. telsa is also pretty important getting early on for farming. huge damage boost especially for the likes of wraith

Okay, let me try clearing this up so you don't have to do any more tests. I don't have exact numbers but estimates should be good enough. Tesla's lighting gives roughly 70 DPS at base for haze. Since she has the lowest base DPS in the roster the flat DPS from lightnings is more than any +weapon dmg modifiers, even glass cannon's base +70% gives 6 dmg per bullet, so did a quick test it barely outperforms tesla in the DPS by a small bit. Since fixation provides flat damage (at maxed level 7 per 20 stacks, 28 at max 80) it can only scale with lowering resistances, fire rate, or lucky shot multiplying it. When it's time to buy your 3k item, Burst fire and Tesla provide about the same DPS, Tesla from consistent damage and Burst fire from more fixation stacks procing. You get sliding, slow resistance, a bit of HP and extra move speed when active besides the damage. Tesla on the other hand let's you farm faster and deals chip damage to other enemies in fighting, secondary lightning deals more damage than to the secondary target, so it's good for ulting multiple people. But since Tesla is bound my the CD it gives mostly flat damage from lightning and scales worse as you get items to scale Fixation and you don't really build many items that scale your tesla naturally. So if you winning fights early Burst Fire will scale better, but Tesla gives you the back up option to farm faster. Also Tesla suffers less if enemy stacks bullet resist, but don't buy spirit resist. For DPS your 6k choices are between Spiritual Overflow and Lucky Shot. Spiritual Overflow scales Tesla a bit like 20-30%, while LS is much better with Burst Fire. Lastly there's the way this game calculates recoil and spread. For Haze if you go beyond like 100% rate of fire Haze gets spread on her weapon, which is pretty easy if you decided to go Spiritual Overflow and Burst fire. Overall it's hard to say which is better, depends on play style and which items synergize better with your playstyle, build and the what's needed in the particular game.

Not another Tesla stock scam f- oh wait. This is actually interesting

Tesla + Ricochet + Toxic Bullets or Silencer goes BRRRRRR

They called me a mad man, One day they will have to embrace tesla + mystic slow and I will be the one standing tall

For me, the only bad thing is that TESLA makes me drop frames in team fights.

The real question is Tesla or Ricochet?

Love this vid.

FYI you can measure distance over to the left side where the taxi cab and truck are. Starting at the line between the veil and the jump pad, you should see little number markers on the ground every 5 meters. From the veil to the NPC running back and forth is a little over 50 meters.

Did this factor in the level associated with souls, because your characters gets weapon damage per boon, and this value scales the base damage. Base damage + tier percentage + stats * fire rate - resist. If it did not factor this in I’d image tesla does more damage but it’s hard to calculate this in my head

Video so good I Tesla Bulleted all over the enemy team

heres the spreadsheet link if anyone is curious: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wzgHtqGtWj8w5YZ7gnGVZlsfSd6QrLgZA8waDlTbnVo/edit?usp=sharing

I did some testing too after watching your video and noticed that ult dps is a lot lower (almost 20%). Imo tesla isnt that bad for Haze as a single item but the transition from cheap items to 6k items is the most contested in terms of slots & tempo during games. If the game is going super well you have slots but also can go into expensive & situational items early, if the sart is bad orange slots are often very limited. I also think that with the Zerggyyy build you have enough farming speed from the 2x reload items and dont need tesla that badly. This said, you still convinced me to try tesla out a bit more in the future :)

Personally, rushing Tesla early is stronger while you still have t1 items, this is a no brainer. The thing is, you rushing Tesla early isn’t the problem, Tesla falls off hard to mid to late game really fast compared to every other T3 item in the game on haze, that’s why we rush burst fire and the other item because mid to late game you can end up constantly snowballing other then snowballing early then just falling off. That’s my opinion tho

It’s not that it’s bad it’s just that Burstfire imo is the better 3k buy, and I’d rather go from burstfire to lucky or overflow instead of then going for Tesla, that’s just my philosophy at least. Sometimes after I buy my first 6k I’ll then go back and get Tesla.

burst fire catcher cause of hero LVL up that gives weapon dmg the point of burst fire is to slide, slide gives not only ammo but also mobility like bunny hopping. The point of swift striker is the cost, u can get HUGE DPS boost buying swift + hollow poin + combat barier for cheap Ive been playing haze for more than 6 month and ive literally tried everything

If you can work some CDR in tesla gets even better.

I agree with you, I had the same thoughts and you confirm it for me. Thanks

You are not utilizing Burst Fire if you are static. The idea with the current meta Haze is to be a really fast assasin and punnish people out of position. You need to dash and slide so you can kill people before you have to reload :p

for the algorithm

it's all over my screen

please stop posting

algorithm

Active Reload can be popped right before Haze ult to nuke enemies for extra 20% dmg in teamfights, just tap left click once and go into stealth and hover near team, once the fight breaks out press R for Active Reload into Unstoppable + ult

What would you recommend for infernus? Considering he likes to have a lot more spirit lategame than scaling his bullet damage, I think pretty much everyone agrees that it should be put on catalyst to you can mag dump twice and get the damage amp on the afterburn there after

QSR is better on Haze. Orange slot is needed for other items. Also QSR buff lasts for the whole mag but AR is just for a few seconds. Out of fights always reload with QSR dagger and you can have the buff basically always.
