invincible relic stops being "invincible" at tower levels 50+ with modifiers than can 1 shot
@8-bitbasementlive22 күн бұрын
If you're getting one-shot by modifiers with the Invincible relic on, then the relic isn't the problem and you need to spend a little time grinding the full herb stages to boost your stats. I'll be mentioning this in next season's video, but boosting your stats has become more important than any talisman or relic when attempting the seasonal tower. Since the Invincible relic still takes regular damage and just sends it to your meter instead, you still need to make sure that your defense is high enough to withstand powerful hits. Once you do that, the Invincible relic will do its job again by recharging your meter quickly so that you can continue to take hits without dying. I hope this helps!

This guide was really helpful, thank you! I'm pretty much at the point where I've fully finished invasions but lack the money to farm herbs and talisman parts. Even with characters, I don't play with knowing one string, and finishing with an uppercut still gives me flawless' with this method.
@8-bitbasementliveАй бұрын
You're welcome! If you'd just like to farm for krowns so that you can do the full herb stages and work on talismans, I actually just figured out a new method with the help of zak2986 who commented some important information about farming "bits of" komponents. There's a Test Your Might stage in Rampart, on the way to where the Invincible relic is located, that costs 125 krowns to attempt. If you win, you get a guaranteed "bits of" komponent. You can sell each these komponents for 1000 krowns at any vendor. That's an 875 krown profit every time you beat the stage, which can be repeated very quickly. I'll be adding this information to the video description and pinned message, but wanted to tell you directly since it would help you get krowns even faster than the hourly tower.

Does anyone know where to get “bits of x” komponents? Example. Bits of ashrah, bits of raiden, etc Or anyone know what liquified shadows does
@8-bitbasementliveАй бұрын
So it turns out there is actually a stage that lets you farm for guaranteed "bits of" komponent drops, which had completely slipped my mind but zak2986 has been nice enough to share. If you go to the Rampart mesa and follow the path to where you get the Invincible relic, there's a Test Your Might stage there that costs 125 krowns to attempt. If you win, you'll get the "bits of" komponent of whichever character's head you had to smash. It's still RNG if you're looking for a specific character's komponent, but it's a much better and faster way to get them. As for how to use items like Liquified Shadows, I think that has to do with the recipe key items that drop as rare rewards sometimes. Using these items together to create certain talismans will probably result in special types. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out which combinations work. I have a key item that just says "Formula: Titan + Tarkatans" and I've tried several combinations of creating talismans with the titan komponent and "bits of" komponents from both Mileena and Baraka with no luck. I'll be sure to let everyone know if I get more information!

Hey man! Are you also planning to make a video about what talisman to make in order to quickly finish the seasonal tower?
@8-bitbasementliveАй бұрын
I don't make videos about crafting talismans because I feel like most people have different ideas about what makes the _best_ talisman, and I tend to just use the gear that I show in my videos to get through the seasonal tower. I like to focus on the stuff that's guaranteed for everyone, like gear from treasure chests, so that everybody starts off with the same strong footing. From there, if people want to go even further and create their own talismans, there's a lot of other guides out there to help them get started. I also find that by the time a lot of players have finished grinding for the krowns and komponents to make an insanely strong talisman, they could've already been over halfway through the seasonal tower rewards. And with the addition of the potion shop and full herb stages this season, you can easily power up your fighter to the point where you really don't need an overpowered talisman to make progress quickly. That's just my take on it and I'm sure that other people are going to feel differently, but I hope this helps!
@nicksand5264Ай бұрын
@@8-bitbasementlive thank you for the reply! Well you might be surprised but in fact there is very little or almost no one I can find on YT who makes videos about the current talisman situation etc to complete the seasonal tower. As every season is changing and they make it more and more difficult to complete towers with grinding I was hoping you could make a similar video like that covering everything. For example they kept nerfing components, now also we don't have great talisman available like god blast or windbreakers etc etc. So would be nice to see what talisman would YOU make and craft to complete the seasonal tower 80 quickly and without problems. It's not about which one is better or which one who prefers but more about efficiency to do it quicker and get rid of it. I don't think people really ENJOY playing the seasonal towers they only do it for the skins and that's it. So it's not about what talisman people personally like but more about what talisman can be crafted to carry over this BS till level 80
@8-bitbasementliveАй бұрын
@@nicksand5264 That's actually very surprising, I would've thought that there'd be some hardcore MK players making seasonal videos about crafting overpowered talismans. I can totally understand wanting some help to get to level 80, the seasonal tower has always and will always be an awful grind. I just reached it last night actually, using the Looming Darkness talisman and the Invincible relic, then pumping my Li Mei full of herbs to get her strong enough to just run through all the opponents. You can also swap out the Invincible relic for the Kombo Mambo relic, or any other relic that removes damage scaling, so that your fighter does more damage at the cost of survivability. You hit the nail on the head though with the fact that NRS keeps updating and changing the talisman and komponent situation. It's constantly evolving, updating, being nerfed in some instances. It's very hard every season to keep up with the best way to not only make a talisman, but which talisman to make once you do, since if you mess it up and make a bad talisman that's all of your time and komponents gone. Right now I still don't think that I'd have time to create a video like that on top of all of the other stuff that I do, but if the talisman situation starts balancing out from season to season, I'll consider putting a video together for it.
@nicksand5264Ай бұрын
@@8-bitbasementlive yeah it's okay. I actually figured out this season we don't need a talisman at all. For this season in order to complete that tower grinding you just need to boost stats and resistance for one character which can easily be done by farming the robot combo and the animality encounter. So probably it's a new meta for now. Talisman is not needed.

I want to max every character's mastery and most of my characters are like less than level 10. How long do you think this will take me with this method? I usually play most of the day
@8-bitbasementliveАй бұрын
It's hard to give an accurate time frame for how long it would take to fully master a fighter or kameo since there's variables like player skill, tower modifiers, stronger enemies like Nitara or bosses. I'll give a quick rundown though based on how much XP it takes to master a fighter and kameo and how long these tower runs typically take: Let's say that it takes two and a half minutes to do a full tower run, and you finish every fight with a flawless victory and a brutality. That's 1700 fighter XP and 1460 kameo XP every two and a half minutes. Now, it takes 315000 XP to master a fighter from level 0. If we divide 315000 by 1700, we get roughly 186 towers. If we multiply that by two and a half, we get 465 minutes, which is just a little under 8 hours. For kameos, which only need 60000 XP to master from level 0, it would take less time. If we divide 60000 by 1460, we get roughly 42 towers. If we multiply that by two and a half, we get 105 minutes, which is just under 2 hours. As you can see, it still takes a while to master fighters and kameos, and this is with the streamlined method where you're getting as much XP as possible per time spent. The numbers I gave are also going to depend heavily on how strong your fighter is and what opponents you're up against, so some hourly towers could take more or less time. There's a chance that we'll get double XP weekends which will make a big difference to these numbers, but we don't know when those are happening. My suggestion is to continue playing at your own pace and focus on the fighters and kameos you like the most, then branch out if you feel like maxing out the rest of your characters. Keep an eye out for easier towers and focus on those when they pop up to save as much time as possible. I hope this helps!

Honestly, the easiest way to beat him if you're already invasion level 30 and having trouble is to make sure that your stats are high enough with herbs and potions. Try to use a character that is strong to (or at least not weak to) fire. The potion that doubles all stats for one fight will be a huge help, otherwise just run through the full herb stages a few times and build your stats up. Use the Looming Darkness talisman right at the beginning of the fight so it lasts the entire match, and when he does his projectile spam attack, crouch in the corner and block until it's done. If your stats are high enough he shouldn't be doing a ton of damage to you, so you should be fine.

Hey everyone! First off, I'll be doing some channel restructuring next month and will be releasing the next guide on my primary channel, not this one. The guide will be in the exact same format with full commentary and detailed explanations, so if you'd like to be notified when it's live, please subscribe to my primary channel here: www.youtube.com/@8-bitbasement Second, for stat-boosting items like the herbs and boosters, make sure to use them on your main fighter. Stats given by items like those don't transfer over to other characters, so you need to make sure to use them on the character that you'll be using the most during stages. I'd also like to mention that the grinding method that I showed in the video actually works for currency too. I've found it to be one of the fastest ways to get seasonal kredits and koins, and you'll be awarded a good chunk of krowns at the end of each tower. All of these currency rewards are doubled during Double XP weekends, so take advantage when that happens! If all you're after is krowns to help you fund the herb/booster stages, shops, talismans and the legacy tower, there's actually a very quick way to grind for them if you're good at Test Your Might stages. On the way to the Invincible relic in the Rampart mesa, you'll come across a Test Your Might stage that costs 125 krowns to attempt. If you win, you'll be awarded a guaranteed "bits of" komponent of whoever's head you had to smash. These "bits of" komponents can then be sold at any vendor for 1000 krowns. That's an 875 krown profit each time, so if you're able to win consistently, you can earn krowns very quickly. Big thanks to zak2986 for being thorough and reminding me about it! For those of you still trying to get the 5 Million Points trophy, follow the guide by getting the Invincible relic and attempting the hourly tower, but instead of doing a brutality every match, finish with an animality. The animalities should increase the multiplier enough that you'll get well above 5 million points and unlock the trophy. Keep in mind that it's possible to upgrade the Looming Darkness talisman at the forge in order to give it more uses, damage and better recharge, but make sure to use Dragon Blood komponents so as not to break the talisman. You may also only be able to upgrade it once, so make sure that you have all of the necessary komponents that you want to use on the first attempt. As for the Invincible relic, you'll probably notice that your meter stops charging automatically during multi-round fights. This is because you regain your health between rounds, and since you're no longer in critical health (1% health remaining) the ability to regain meter automatically will no longer work. The relic will still cause all damage to go to your meter before going to your health though, so it's still very useful even if you're up against bosses. For the seasonal tower, while the tower is only 7 stages now, I've noticed that they've added a lot more multi-round boss fights, some of which are three rounds and allow the bosses to do their ultimate attacks. This will potentially make the seasonal tower take longer to complete than previous seasons for a lot of players, especially at the higher levels. To counter this, make sure that you abuse the potion shop and the full herb stages that I showed in the video to make your fighters as strong as possible. Finally, I wanted to clarify that for the Towers of Time challenges that award points, you need to complete them in the towers themselves. So for example if it's asking you to do 5 air kombos, they need to be done in a Towers of Time tower. Doing them anywhere else in invasion mode won't count towards the challenge goal. Thanks for watching!

Just be sure to keep enough tp for the boss you’re probably gonna fight Hahn is your main healer till he leaves the party.
