Glad you found it helpful! I'm really looking forward to Passtech adding the crit UI so we don't have to track it ourselves. Nightmare can be pretty humbling, hope the challenge is more fun than discouraging for you!

They're in the walls 👀

Capitalism nerfed 😢

Your eyes aren't lying, both games are made by the same developer (Passtech)

Thanks! I enjoyed your video about sort of getting a new exhaust on your K2500

Eagle sounds intensify Totally agree! I probably could have rolled for egg more aggressively after the first well, but I was worried about getting something to help with the first boss... and then after that, I had diluted my rare pool. Besides that, I was running behind schedule most of chapter 2--if I'd been more efficient, there'd have been space to refine the build

@@Frebr33ze yeah, it was still a good run, tho!

Yeee buddy

I thought so! Thanks for checking

That's very kind, glad you enjoyed it! I am very curious to see how the changes they're proposing turn out--the thing is, there are a lot of builds (items, talents) that just don't work at Nightmare difficulty, and it would be nice if more variety were incentivized. However... if they nerf the strong builds but don't tweak the scaling enough, then every run have 10-minute boss fight at the end of every chapter, which I don't think would be healthy either. I'll also miss builds like this one--guess we'll see what happens Golden egg would have been great! I actually mentioned that myself at 27:34, but my reroll economy wasn't very strong at the end of chapter 1, which kept me from getting to it. Maybe I'll do that another run 👍

We like math here, thanks for contributing!

Thanks for stopping in! I haven't seen that particular bug, but I took a look at the discord, and it sounds like someone was having issues with the witch spawning outside the grimoire area a coupe months ago (btw, this is a month late, sorry). If that sounds like what you were experiencing, the devs have been made aware: otherwise, might be a good idea to drop them a note via discord. Hope you figure it out!

Hey there, looking forward to your guide! I'm actually not certain about how eviscerate works (I spent a long time playing around with Lep Coin, and kinda stalled out on deep diving other stuff). If you're in the discord, I'd recommend reaching out in the Scarlet character channel--there are a lot of really good players. I bet some of them would be about to give you pointers

My man forgot to watch 5 seconds later in the video

Glad you enjoy them! We'll see what the future holds--developing videos and getting deep into character design is tricky to juggle, but I'd love to deep dive Wukong

@@Frebr33ze looking forward to more amazing RW content!❤️

Glad it's still relevant!

538616, I pulled the card off the video. Moving forward, I'll try to make certain these stats aren't accidentally covered up 👍

Glad you enjoyed it! Tbh, some things have changed since I made the guide. I would recommend this video as a more current resource: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp3al4R8n7Z2ldU

Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree with my whole heart and soul

I appreciate the feedback! I've been thinking about doing something like that. The downside is that the editing and preparation process is longer and more demanding, but like you said, it's also more comprehensive. I'll play around with it

I feel like its out of line with the rest of the chapter 1 quests--it would be nice if it were brought a little more in line

That's interesting, my impression is that DE has the hardest time of the Scarlet talents in the early game. But whatever works for you

Haha if it works it works

Yes! If you're using keyboard/mouse, you can press tab and mouse over everything and see a tooltip. I'm not certain what the controls would be for controller, but I imagine you can find them in your options/settings menu

Glad it was helpful!

Correct! Also, since armor stack parabolically and damage linearly, as those numbers creep up, damage is better bang for buck. If you have a crazy green armor build, Bloody Mary's Mirror is pretty sweet. That said, if you just got excalibur at level 10 and you have 9 legendary talents, BMM is a little less appealing

That is correct! This is why Scarlet does 155 damage to an unarmored target at level 1 with a Cloak + Swift Strike (3x combo stacks). The Swift Strike is 100 damage, the base crit multiplier from the guarenteed crit (cloak gives 100% crit chance) is 1.5, and the base crit chance is .05. That .05 is added to the base crit multiplier, so 1.55 damage. I put together a video that walks through this in a little more detail, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKOZlImHeNZ0qsk

Aladdin's ceiling is unmatched. I was kinda disappointed I didn't get to hit the boss a couple more times haha

​@@Frebr33zewhat about new build for Aladin? they changed shop how to play Aladin at nightmare 4 now?

@@Shadow_Rogue check out this guide, it should help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKacc5uigbV1jq8si=3n2oTKyVBj1mt60C . I’m honestly pretty far from feeling confident enough to make a definite Aladdin guide, but this one’s pretty solid

Just imagine how powerful you can become now that you have that knowledge 🧠

@@Frebr33ze ye, now everythin first try.

Tbh, it's a skill issue. I've finished multiple runs with scarlet, in nightmare difficulty with different builds and I'm sure i wasn't the only one that was able to do so.

That's a good perspective, appreciate your insight! One of the nice things about Ravenswatch is that almost any talent can be played around and will work if you have the right supporting cast of talents or items. That said, a key consideration for me is that I want my content to be accessible and helpful to newcomers to the game, and Savagery is probably Scarlet's least accessible talents, particularly at Nightmare difficulty. The downside with Savagery is that it incentivizes you to fight in melee range to keep farming stacks, and if you kite longer than 4 seconds without landing an attack combo, you lose its bonus. This means that it's going to be better on Attack-based Scarlet builds as opposed to Power/Special builds, which incentivize a lot of facetime to get your damage out. With legendary unlocked, Savagery can stack up to 35 times--but to get that bonus, you'd have to get off 35 2-attack combos, separated by no more than 4 seconds. Now, if you have an Attack-based Scarlet build, this begs the question: in what fight would the enemies you're against be able to sustain the damage from 35 Attack combos, in addition to the power/specials you'll also use during the scuffle? If you're also running talents like Wide Attacks, Cleave, and Double Strike (DS is particularly nice since it gives a combo stack for just one attack), you should be able to melt enemies way faster than that, except for bosses. However, most bosses have broad AoE abilities to prevent you from latching onto them and getting that damage out. Granted, there are survivability items (Gold Coat of Chainmail/Black Lotus/multiple Defensive cooldowns, etc.) that would let you man up, but in those cases, you're basically choosing your win condition: there's not many situations where Savagery is going to be a deciding factor. It's a win-more talent at best, and without its supporting cast, does almost nothing. I actually dislike the Murderous Intent/Energy interaction currently, because Savagery stacks on the actions of earning or spending combo points, not the number of combo points acquired. If you pop your defense running these talents, you only get one stack of Savagery, and reset the 4-second cooldown. Defense is on a pretty significant cooldown itself, so it feels like a very high investment for a single stack. Now, I haven't checked that interaction in a while, but that's how it worked when Savagery came out (here's an old, stylistically inferior video where I explored that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHOh4uvlNCZeZo). If you have multiple Defenses you will see more value, but it's still not a lot of stacks, and since Defense's duration on wolf lasts a lot longer than 4 seconds, it feels like a waste to spam it and overlap its effects. My impression is that Savagery was intended to pair with Fan of Spikes and Adrenaline particularly, since they both have positive interactions with it (Adrenaline with attack speed in wolf form and the heal on human, Fan of Spikes with making spamming combo points accessible). It's going to be better with those, though again, this is starting to become a pyramid of talents to make it work. Overall, I feel like the ramp time for Savagery is just too long. I'd like to see it stack on the number of combo points used/acquired, or the time to decay to be increased (or maybe the rate?). That could actually incentivize fighting between camps a little to keep your stacks up, kind of like Hogger in HOTS (pardon the obscure reference). As it stands, Savagery only seems good to me as a late pickup for an Attack build after it has already progressed to the point that it stands on its own. And for new players, I think its just gonna get you killed greeding for stacks.

@@Frebr33ze thanks for the in-depth reply, that's actually really interesting that they made it so it only stacks on earning or spending combo points. So many talents have interesting synergies like snow queens snowball becoming bigger with frost surge that I'm suprised they wouldn't have designed savagery to synergize with murderous intent + energy by giving it 1 stack for each point earned. If that's the case then yeah I'd think something like double stikes + fan of spikes with multiple dash charges would be the way to go for savagery but that wouldn't be nearly as effective as your build here. I stand corrected, complete a trap unless they change that interaction

@@positive4ce Agreed, I don't see a reason to take it atm

You're welcome and thank you!

Glad I could help! Do you have other questions you're curious about? I'm always looking for other video ideas to help new folks out

There are a couple things that are out of date *cough cough, grimoires*, but I'm glad you found it helpful! I might do one in the future, depending on interest and how much value I think I can add

First off, nice name! Second, no need to feel like you're imposing, we're all still learning the game. There's so much to unpack, and I appreciate everyone sharing patterns they've noticed. Thirdly (and forgive me for starting another paragraph) you're completely right about keys spawning in a radius around the mini-boss location. Here's a video where Quirjl demonstrates how to find the key, as well as a map of the area where it spawns: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqvOmZVqmreFeaM . There are also some maps showing spawn locations that coincide with your observation. I don't always do a great job of optimizing my pathing to find the key to be honest, something I have to remind myself to prioritize. Thanks for reaching out!

@@Frebr33ze Thanks for the info and compliment! I always like playing video games to relax and such so it felt like an appropriate name lol

@@paradisiacalgaming2929 haha of course! I approve, your philosophy does you credit

Glad you liked it!

Girly you can remove it with moderations now.

I doubt they'll ever remove it from the base game: they grounded a lot of their design around pacing and mechanics in the assumption that there'd be a game clock. However, they did add a challenge modifier that removes it, so you can customize your experience, which is pretty nice 👍

It actually used to be that way, but they changed it based on player feedback 🤷‍♂

Glad it helped!
