As Tyl Regor would say, "garbage game, I never liked that game". Long live Digital Extremes, down with these thieves.

I'm a new player that played the beta. I'm just getting into TFD now cause I had acouple games I was in the middle of when TFD launched. I have so many questions and everyone says different things. I really appreciate you clearing this up for me as I main Ajax at the moment.

There is the information on defense stat where it says 80% mitigation is the cap. There is a penetration stat they are not showing. This is why max health makes you seem more tanky cause you can sacrifice so much defense and still be at 80% against some mobs. It seems 33K to 35K resistance is optimal for hard mode and rest into Health. Did they really just copy and paste Elder scrolls in regards to resistances? 😂

10 mins- of rambling- zero build or links to build >><< cmon man! ??>><<??

Thanks for the stats guide man!

Over whelming hp it’s good

I've heard someone actually made an ultimate Ajax that has 10m hp with 25k defense is that even possible to get hp to 10m the highest ive seen anyone have was 2m

Phase 1. Stack healthy components Phase 2. Max out HP modules & equip your descendant. *Queue making of a super soldier cut scene* Phase 3. You're now a cybernetically enhanced super organism that feeds on health packs & lives eternal to vanquish the enemies of mankind. Arm yourself well my brothers and sisters and you shall conquer all!!

You are the man! Thanks for the video, I'll cut the shit with the 60k defense 😂

The game is trash

is this still true? plus i subbed

@AngryHatt You previously said don't go more than 20-25K defense, go HP... but in this video you say to go heavy on defense... contradiction?!

I'd say that this simply means 24k def is enough to get that hard 80% cap at dmg reduction.

I'm so glad I found this video before hitting hard mode. Saved me so much time trying to get defense components. Thank you.

TFD players discovering eHP xD

Youve got a sub

Wait u guys put hp, shield and armor? 😮 I thought skill attack 🤣

when you realy sa this invasion is endgame then i never do it to complet only the haily rescue mission have i play 13 times to understand what the heck is wrong in this mission sry man realy the game selfe is very fantastic i enjoy the story so far and wana see how is continou but when i musst be endgame to even can have a change to complet this missions and actualy pur solo the ni say no i wana enjoy a game and dont want me to force me to farm or addicts to dead...

Kinda reminds me when I learned in WoW tanks actually built hp rather than defense. It seemed so wrong to me they weren't armored tanks they were hp tanks bleeding gallons to survive. Sure there should be a practical consideration in a game with healers needing to show their worth but if you heal specific numbers rather that percentages that build up of hp should make their heals seem weak and armor should matter too or why wear plate. . .

Great break down, advice, and accent. I know the last may not be important to survival in The First Descendant but i had to give you a high 5 for that natural voice. Im sharing this video with my buddies.

Where do I farm HP mods

There is absolutely no such thing as deaf versus HP. There’s HP versus shields, but you should have some deaf and some HP or some deaf and some shield. You should not be going all into anything except for Ajax possibly

Might explain why my 50k def and 2k health feels like a wet napkin lol

The trick with the inventory in the ship, and having all loose items be moved into the inventory when you change the ship config doesn't work in the latest update

This feels disingenuous... ho and defence scale with each a certain point they're both more valuable than the other. Just building pure one or the other is self crippling because, at a certain point. At a certain point, defence will mitigate more damage than you'd gain for equipping more hp.

Thank you for the info! this seems like it needs a bit of a rework because its misleading looking at the numbers... so you can choose to add a bunch of DEF but it will actually do basically nothing for you... thanks game...

Thank you for your advice. im still new for this lot of thing i need to learn. thank again :)

Here is the thing, nobody on earth recommends 60k def with less than 5k hp xD there is always a compromise for example if you have perfect component or a module that will take you from 18k hp 10k def into 14k hp 25k def that's a very good change you should do 100%.

That hat... please stop wearing it. It's terrible.

😂😂 the biggest number is what I usually equip 😂😂 ya I can't get past the lvl 45 missions😂😂

Video dude and I’d like to say I agree with you to a certain point I agree with you that if you go in a certain amount of death and then everything else in one of the other two survive bill mechanics that you’re good it doesn’t have to be HP I’ve been I don’t have shield collector and I’ve been running by a fuel bunny, grinding everything else Operations whatever I wanna do with my bionic fuel punny at 15% HP and I haven’t really found any problem. Certainly, I’m a little more prone to occasionally getting fucked by something and damage and honestly, I don’t really have like Maxo chill either. I think I have several thousand maybe three or 4000 shields But without shield collector, virtually immoral and all that or not, but I guess what I’m getting yet but I’m going shields and death and I’m still surviving just fine but I didn’t try to go all in death. My character survives just fine even if I have to stop at standstill for a minute shoot that stuff or sometimes when I gotta clean out my inventory and I realize I’m getting shot out while I’m in my inventory because I have enough death to reduce damage enough and enough shields to carry methat time

Unless you need shield again, there are characters that need to use shield by act feel plenty for instance doesn’t need to put anything into HP at all defense and shields. In fact you should have mods on to convert what little have in the shields if you’re gonna be at 15% of your total HP anyway and even if you have a large HP max HP it’s not gonna be enough to keep you from getting one shot you need shields and you need shield collector for that billshield collector and shield kill bunny for bunny that can run forever literally not like one of these bills were they say you get infinite speed you are going to get infinite lightspeed it’s always dependent. I’m picking up fuel bunny gets infinite lights to speed to turn it on when you pop out of the gate if you don’t turn it off. And you just run around killing massively killing getting back a chunk of your shields. Every couple of seconds literally becoming vulnerable for mopping mind. You, none of the collectors are worth a shit for bossing because you gotta be killing stuff shield collector with bunny with bionic fuel all in on shields, shield and defense you still want defense again another fallacy is that defense doesn’t help you when you go shield of course it does, stop thinking about war Warf and things don’t work the same simply damage mitigation for all incoming physical damage whether you have shields or HP to absorb what’s left after the damage mitigation is depending on you and your bill and your preference will keep things from hitting your shield so again about 15 to 20 defense HP or alternatively if shields are your thing everything in the shield and the set for Bonnie is two and two shields and that set is good for boss bunny. It’s good for bobbing bunny. It’s good for any kind of bunny you’re gonna think of because the two piece sat at four piece that bonus are always good, you probably should theoretically if you’ve got a maxed out high voltage bunny going to kill a boss the boss is not gonna live for 20 seconds anyway typical max out boss killing time is 20 seconds or less so not having HP is not really a handicap and your set bonuses I mean, you’re your main stats already lean towards Max shield That for a minute think about what the devs intended when they made supernova, which clearly was designed specifically for funny kind of makes it seem like they expected the bunnies to be running defense and shields since the bonuses are defense and shield. I don’t know food for thought maybe want to use will stop eating drinking the Kool-Aid and start thinking in terms of off Bunny that doesn’t use HP instead goes on shield by the way it can be made to recharge while in combat while out of combat and there’s a shield recovery modifier also one of the couple the only problem there’s kind of a conflict components between MP and shield but again killing Bonnie the fight should be over so fast that MP doesn’t matter your health isn’t gonna matter because the boss is gonna be dead before it can possibly matter

I I can’t even count number for KZbinrs. I’ve seen talking about how why they should go all in on this one or that one or the other one and all of the arguments are just bogus. You need a balance stuff out of defense and HP or shield and HP. I don’t really know any cases where you need all three and it’s not practical to fill in all three because well I guess it doesn’t really matter if you got 8000 HP 5000 shields and you manage all that you’re still as good as you had all of that in the HB and the fence or all of it in the shield of defense because shields are functionally just the same as HP whatever damage doesn’t get mitigated has to be absorbed. It first gets absorbed by shield Shield disappears. It gets absorbed by certain things like elemental attack. Just have to have the best bill for almost every character in the game is 15 to 20 K event and then everything else into HP

I’m sorry so you’re saying exactly what I just said. I just got ahead of you.

Doesn’t add any your HP components just add HP to the face number then you have a modifier that’s multiplying that face number if you takeoff all your modules and all your components and look at your HP it’ll be something like you know 800 or 1000 or I don’t know what character out but it’ll be whatever the face characters HP is that if you add your components that number will go up and then if you add any of your multipliers, it’ll go off a lot Increase HP that’s a 218.5% increase to your base HP number just like shields and the same concept. Do you have a number you have a face shield number? You add those bases with certain things and then you had a multiplier the multiplier makes a drastic change, but it makes a bigger change if your base is bigger.

Top of that my friend damage mitigation is caped 80% hard cap at 80% for that very reason because they don’t want anybody just going not that anybody’s got there. I mean, have you actually seen anybody that made it past about 65 to 70% damage mitigation I don’t think anybody’s done it. I haven’t seen a video or somebody claimed created there Either way past 80% no matter how much you love there’s no way to get past 80% damage so 20 points of 100 points of damage is gotta be absorbed by your health or shield has to be absorbed two points of every damage has to be absorbed. I’m sorry my bad, 20% of all income damage has to be absorbed by something in best case defense scenario absorbed because 80% of being mitigate but nobody’s got that and anybody backed out will tell you that it’s not worth going in on defense you’re still taking damage

Oh the way you said that about David litigation is not correct the more you use the less of mitigates that’s never true. The more you use it’s always going to mitigate more damage what you should’ve said or to be more accurate the more you choose the less you’re being from, but you always gain, it’s the difference defense the difference the amount you’re gaining would be chunk is less what you’re still however choose as you mentioned like 15 K defense and 15 KHP on a character that it was appropriate to have HPO would choose that over you know 50 K defense and 7KHP every day of the week For the very reason you outlined any methodology of gaming back is dependent on your HP whether it’s from HP or or from HP collector or any method back based on how much you have in total percentage of your total HP collector every two seconds so if you’re not wanting to worry about picking up or throwing a max out HP collector every two seconds are getting back 9% of your max HP if your max HP is only 5000 that you’re gonna gain back half of what you would if it were 10,000 what I don’t give you And then also all of these things are probably affected by HB recovery modifiers. I don’t know if Hector is betting or five or argument about all that shield is stupid. You can’t go all in on anything but if you want a character that’s going to survive you have to go in on it And HP or death and shield do you want to mitigate a certain of damage and then you wanna be able to absorb a certain amount of damage and shield they both absorb damage the difference between them and the reason that shields seem like a lesser value is because shields automatically regenerate went out of combat They may regenerate in combat this slowly. I’m not sure HP never regenerate without some influence. It never regenerate if you were to lose HP and keep playing the game and not take any damage and not step on it or and and that best travel anywhere HP would always be at the same level it never regenerate, so you know you have a higher HP but best suited HP you should have 15 to 18 defense and everything else piled at HB if you go on defense if you have very low hip points, your hip points still have to absorb what you don’t mitigate and then you’re constantly gonna be searching for or cause you’re gonna need them all the time and the alternative of those pilot all the HP and ignore defense like put on four components with HP and defense but lotta points but they’re still having to run around and grab health or all the time because there’s nothing mitigating that income

I’m not sure what time maybe I missed something but all things being equal the guy with higher defense from the tanks for HP and both cases equal shields in both cases all other things equal both cases you should have an increased increase that guy report that is going to take more than the guy would last deathproduction goes out exponentially the returns are exponential get more damage production by adding more least until you get to 80% anybody’s ever got there

How do you even reach 18k hp? Im with bunny and i barely hit 6k

any advice for a rookie

Whats the name of the metal song that starts at 11:10

Thx for this

Thank you for this video now it makes more sense to me my friend.

All of this confusion would be cleared if there was a stat that shows if youre hitting that 80% dr limit

I keep coming back to your content. New Sub. This is fantastic information. Thank you Mr. Hatt!

you are not that bright are you mr hat?

Was alittle disappointed that Ajax wasn't used to showcase this, you're using a non-tank character to show off a "tank build"

def only bucks 80% no matter how high you go. you don't need more than 10k. just build hp. hope that helps.

This is not End Game Content. This is daily season content, that unlocks at end of normal mode, that rewards a normal descendant and is required to get all rewards from season pass. It is far to hard for what it is. Now if there was a normal mode invasions, then yeah this would be End Game content, but there’s not.
