5 Advanced tips for getting into Extreme difficulty! | LoL Swarm Tips & Tricks

[@Nighthawk20000]

Edit: As of today (7/31/24) Riot has fixed the Recall bug :( sorry guys! Another tips and tricks video, this one showcasing some recommendations from the comments on the last video as well as my own thoughts! I'm getting into the groove of uploading Swarm content so I'll be trying to do a video every day or so for a while. Stay tuned for more Solo Extreme runs, tier lists, and build guides! Here's the 1st video with 10 tips on getting into Swarm kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOtpJpsl5KGhac

Good tips didn’t think about leaving xp for a teammate to pick up

[@aroebe]

That felt like a very high quality well done video. Great inflection, great tips, exactly what i expected from the editing. A+ effort, please do more!

[@tupacshakur5868]

im somewhat sure the exp mutiplier applies to the whole team, so it doesnt matter who picks up orbs the last quest of the storyline was never bugged, the one before that is "bugged" as in the tooltip is incomplete and can only be completed with leona Edit: nvm the exp thing is correct as you stated

[@Nighthawk20000]

I can never say anything for sure because there is no definitive answer out there but from all my testing and asking Riot devs, this seems to be how the system works. The tooltips are a little confusing.

[@paradox8361]

I was trying to do these quests for so long and i gave up.... Thank u so much!!!

[@Nighthawk20000]

Glad I could help! I know the quest system is very confusing

[@kylethibodeaux322]

allow me to correct this, the final quest is with seraphine. The second to last quest is bugged and must be completed with leona (i sat for HOURS trying to figure that one out)

[@KillerIntent1]

tip 2. if playing with randoms or a briar, start saving cards with the wave of bosses that spawn at ~8 minutes. that should be around 10 cards (6-7 bosses, 2-3 elites, 1-2 belveth trials.) if playing with a group or solo then start saving with the group that spawn at ~11 minutes which is around 7 cards. (3-4 bosses, 1-2 elites, 1 belveth trial.)

[@joaquincaceresguibovich3182]

I don't think the last quest is bugged, it's just that the text is wrong. Makes sense that only Leona is able to do it since she is the one that wanted to start the whole party

[@Nighthawk20000]

I was actually a little wrong in the video, its the 2nd out of 3 steps in the last quest which is bugged to only be able to be done on Leona, the League dev team acknowledged it on Twitter

[@WitikoAmor]

omg thank you.

[@Nighthawk20000]

You're welcome :)

[@DanielDTUBWeinberger]

I love cross country when was getting swarm survivor or whatever it's called. Infinite stacking damage, health, area size is so good. Infinite health regen scaling was nice when was tank; ramming runner is good on literally everyone, but DPS gets so nutty. I have mixed feelings about the trading damage for projectiles ones, I know they are good, but lose so much damage Q_Q I haven't played with other people since was LVL 70 anima, kind of want to anima squad riven and just run around the map in matchmaking island. I was shocked when saw could play with other people after finished story.

[@Nighthawk20000]

I have a pretty banger video with Riven coming out soon, I got cross country 1st and was able to get up to 50~ stacks by the end of the game, was pretty wild. It wasn't quite the biggest highroll ever since my other augments were only mediocre but it was still a great game.

[@KillerIntent1]

i love cross country with ultimate haste as briar. just ult corner to corner. optional to get the immobile immolate or whatever its called, the damage for increased ability haste.

[@DanielDTUBWeinberger]

@@KillerIntent1 I'm so bad with immobile immolation I usually end up just dying, and then you are supposed to move immediately on respawn, if you don't, just instant die again 😭

[@gofko1238]

Omg there is another selection for quests? I was wandering why on wiki is 50 different buffy but i only have like 10. Usefull video. 🤠

[@Nighthawk20000]

@@gofko1238 haha I know right? They hid them pretty well 😂 Im just glad the video helped you :)

[@mainvillain1273]

I already completed 1st and 2nd map on extreme and yet I didn't know like half of the augments u said xd

[@Nighthawk20000]

@@mainvillain1273 haha yeah, Riot doesn't make it super obvious how to unlock them. I hope you enjoy them now that you know how to get them :)

[@hikkaru9751]

They should have add rewards that u can buy for swarm gold like blue/orange essence maybe key fragments or chests. Im anima power lvl 100 and finished extreme Aatrox with every champion, so I have nothing to do with gold :(

[@binhminhvu3654]

True, i hope they add new tasks. I dont want this gamemode gone

[@Nighthawk20000]

It'd be nice haha, I really hope Riot uses this game mode in the future for a more fleshed out complete game like TFT or Arena. People clearly love it and there's so much room for more characters, weapons, and maps.

[@Saberarts24]

im wondering doesnt both reduced damage augment affect the total dmg by alot? or is the amount of projectiles thrown worth it in this case

[@Nighthawk20000]

Honestly you get so much free damage in the game that the reduction doesn't really make much of a difference. Having +10 projectiles for every weapon also boosts your damage by quite a large amount, heavily outweighing any penalties. Also, its just way more fun ;D ! I wish I was recording when I got this combo so I could have shown off the footage, but it actually makes your weapons go crazy.

[@Saberarts24]

@@Nighthawk20000 ooo sounds great ! will try it for sure :')

[@kingheenokgaming4783]

I wish people would be smarter in this game mode. But it's league so I guess it's hopeless. I see those mistakes everygame: 1) not understanding that the few first card need to be picked to increase your tempo. 2) not understanding when someone is stacking XP buff. (makes the difference of about 5 level late game if stacked early so lvl 35 vs lvl 40). 3) not understanding that at some point your really need to wait your ally before getting card. 4) not understanding that you need raw damage to win vs the end boss because it's a stats check vs rage timer. 5) not understanding that you should think with your head instead of applying everything a youtuber says without thinking of the context of your game.

[@LilBeastie13]

Another decent combo of augments you can get is Hoarder and Death-and-Taxes. giving enemies a large chance to drop gold and healing you for every coin you pick up. Even bigger bonus since it nets you greater gold gains that you can use to finish off your meta-progression upgrades

[@Nighthawk20000]

I like this combo, but I wish hoarder worked like it used to on PBE. It used to give you a small boost to max HP for gold you picked up, was a lot of fun.

[@Yzurra]

EXP Upgrades in game apply to the whole team. Only one that applies to the players themselves are the upgrades in the main menu, and Pick Me Up that gives +15% EXP and -100% pickup radius

[@Nighthawk20000]

@@Yzurra from my testing this isn't true, but I'm ready to be proven wrong. My team and I tested by having someone without the XP passive pick up 1 orb and read the increase to the XP bar and then did the same with someone who had the XP passive. The number increased more from the player with the XP passive. I then asked Riot August on his stream and he confirmed that this is how the XP system works.

[@Yzurra]

@@Nighthawk20000 And everyone had max upgrades and no augments? Then that'd mean the tooltip is wrong and yet another swarm mistake

[@Nighthawk20000]

Yes, in my experience Swarm has a lot of tooltip inconsistencies and errors. Not unexpected since it's a brand new game basically, but I hope they can do a clarity pass in the future

[@hikkaru9751]

All exp bonusew must be for whole team, im already anima lvl 100 and in every game everyone lvls in same time

[@tehgdk224]

@@hikkaru9751they didn’t say each players levels up differently but that the amount of xp the party gets is higher when the player with the xp bonus is the one to pick up the majority of the xp on the ground

[@Comalv]

FYI, I've correctly completed the last storyline quest with Seraphine yesterday without issue

[@Nighthawk20000]

Ah interesting! I was going based on a tweet from the Riot dev team, I wonder if its already fixed, or just buggy for some people? x.com/LoLDev/status/1815561539329696210

[@johnwaffles9972]

Lucky for you

[@johnwaffles9972]

My last two story mission have been bugged since it came out

[@A3r0XxLol]

Problem is getting fucked with options early on. Even with 4 rerolls you often end up with a shit build that ultimately just ends your run after a couple of minutes. Way too RNG if you unlocked all abilities.

[@Nighthawk20000]

For sure, sometimes you just lowroll and see "Pickup radius / Area Size / Duration" over and over again when you're playing Jinx 🤣I think that's part of the fun of the game though, if you just got exactly what you wanted every single run, it'd get boring pretty fast. Being able to highroll and get a crazy game to tell your friends about is fun!

[@stamatisvragas7720]

the last one is actually a compo I'd name bad. The less projectiles u have the more the last augment helps, so pairing those last two is bad

[@Nighthawk20000]

I think the rule of fun wins out on this one, at least for me haha. There's something just so entertaining to me to see 15+ projectiles on something like Cyclonic slicers or Boomerrang

[@kingheenokgaming4783]

Ya your right, u take +4 projectile/-%dmg when you have no projectile buff. If not its pretty much garbage.
