did you know that one stack of roaring flames both causes your unpowered melee to act powered and subsequent unpowered roaring flames melee kills will increase the stacks and increase your unpowered melee damage like your powered melee?

[@juan-jesus]

At 7:31 , I just want to add that the damage buff given by combination blow also makes your normal melee kills generate power orbs ❤

[@qazx1427]

Same goes for Titan's Knockout and Roaring Flames, not just Offensive Bulwark. Heck, I think *any* subclass buffs to melee will make them powered melees.

[@MegaBeanHead0]

Bro…. Gambit motes being picked up by powerful attraction is insane.

[@KabbalahSherry]

I'M GONNA TRY THAT OUT RIGHT NOW 😂

[@qazx1427]

It's absolutely nasty with Arc Titan's Thruster. Combine it with Forbearance, Eager Edge, and a good shotgun, you can wipe out an entire sector of enemies before half your team even arrives.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

I always wondered how ppl were swiping my motes so easily. Must b this!

[@thandokhan1962]

Solar Titan with Roaring flames active also gives you the ability to create orbs by using your uncharged melee.

[@thepixarlamp7669]

I believe Knockout on Arc Titan as well

[@TruNemesis]

Yes, this is true with any type of melee that gets a buff that corresponds with that powered melee I.e. combination blow on arc hunter.

[@Eric-YT-Tutorials]

At 3:33 anti-bar also shoots through hive knight immunity.

[@night_san03]

1:50 bonus point: if you knew that it was a targeted nerf specifically for stasis warlock with claws of ahamkara, give yourself a point.

[@onearmtanner9301]

Heavy handed also works for knockout and burning flames on titan.

Listing things I didn't know yet: 1. Picking up Motes. Wtf, that is straight up busted 2. Blinding threshers. Good to know 3. Ships with glows. I just use Platinum Starling and the Mayfly, so I never saw that interaction Yep, that's it. I need a life

Don't know if it's already mentioned, but I just found out if you swap to Gally, you hear wolves howling if you listen closely 😂

[@wixzy_]

Good to know my arc buddy does that! Never knew, even more shocking because I use it all the time! Can't believe this is the only thing I didn't know, especially since I use my arc buddy the most.

[@shadow_blaze2317]

It can also shoot Hive moths. Iirc it might not do it during Lightblade which made that NF a more annoying.

[@ThatLatteCup]

I gotta watch this video again and again lol all this information so new to me

[@ShutchyerLips]

49/55, so thank you for those 6 things I didn't know! Gotta say, that animation for how the aim assist bloom works was the best I've seen. Very cool, my dude

[@ForeverLaxx]

Got all of these right except for the ship shader one since I never change my shaders while in a group. Surprised you didn't mention as a bonus question that targets affected by Witherhoard are considered Taken enemies (which lets Malfeasance do more damage to them).

[@roundraccoon6141]

Many people still mistake the taken thing with witherhoard. When witherhoard is applied taken spec does not get the increased damage, and the kings fall mods also do not work either when applying witherhoard to the hive in there. So I don't think it makes the enemy taken it's just applying a unique debuff only applicable to specific weapons (wishender, malfeasance, touch)

[@ForeverLaxx]

@@roundraccoon6141 Never stated it had anything to do with Taken spec.

[@FairusArc]

​@@ForeverLaxxyou did say that targets affected by witherhoard are considered as taken, which the kind young lad corrected you saying that taken spec and other mods that should do more damage to taken does not affect targets effected by witherhoard, also not to mention wishender also does more damage to target affected by witherhoard despite the weapon not saying to deals more damage to taken

[@rpotts]

applying witherhoard makes them "blighted", which is a serparate, hidden interaction with malfeasance. A Taken enemy can be stuck with witherhoard and both bonuses will apply at the same time, stacking.

[@ForeverLaxx]

@@FairusArc I'm not responsible for others' incorrect assumptions.

[@OutlawLotus]

Absolutely FANTASTIC video! There’s a lot of information in here that, for each you don’t know, can be potentially used to strongly elevate your game. Great stuff!

[@hhaste]

The Vorpal thing was a semi recent change. It *used* to do a flat 15% damage amount but it's now 20% for Primary, 15% for Special & 10% for Heavy.

[@evstar14]

I mean yeah but when you say semi recent, it’s been almost 2 years (from my memory at least) so I feel Iike people should know by now.

[@ST._Trinas_Torch]

For any sword user, simply blocking will negate impact damage and it gets insane when on titan with strongholds. the damage negation is also tied to your guard.

[@rwijnen1]

Awesome tips and explanation. Thx

[@KillboyMetalhead]

Great info. Great editing. Thanks for compiling.

[@CastleContent]

Thank you!

[@iamsuperman10]

1. Holding ‘w’ on a sparrow does nothing when you’re on the ground, but it *does* do something when you’re in the air. I’d encourage you to talk to a few speed runners/out of bounds explorers about the wacky physics involved in sparrows, it’s pretty illuminating. 2.DIM does so much more than allowing you to drag/drop gear between characters. It has a tab for tracking NPC inventory so you can see what they have without wasting time flying there manually, it has a section that tracks your collections so you can figure out which bones/eggs/penguin/action figures you’ve still got to go find. It was the first to have a feature to build/save loadouts you can swap between, and unlike the one added in-game recently the DIM version allows you to share your loadout with someone else and allows them to equip the same loadout. DIM is such an incredibly useful tool. (Ah, you cover that in one of the Ludicrous section tips. Bravo 👏) 3. Cabal threshers can also be blinded by any weapon blinding effect so grenade launchers with disorienting grenades also work. Not only the ships, but Hive Shriekers are similarly interrupted. Incredibly useful in high level content. 4.The confusion around the Vorpal Weapon perk probably stems from that Vorpal did originally give a flat bonus, it was changed a little while back to different values by ammo type because Bungie wanted to make it more appealing since it was falling behind the new perks they were introducing. There’s an entire TWID/TWAB article that featured how they adjusted certain perks. 5.Ambitious Assassin also will not reactivate until all the additional rounds added have been used, which is why it’s so attractive on heavy hitting weapons like grenade launchers since it’s easy to get multikills with one shot and you’re reloading those often, but not as much utilized on weapons like SMGs with little impact and similarly small magazine sizes. 6. I realized after watching this video that I have put entirely too much time/effort into this game and should probably go for a walk outside 😅 Thanks Castle Content, really enjoyed the video 💙

He said that the max points for an armor stat is 30, but I believe I have a piece of armor that has a 31 stat while not master worked

[@traviswalker2589]

Awesome video as usual but being a long time fan of Shadow means I got about 75% of them right😅. Happy to add the new ones to my knowledge pool

[@dbsommers1]

44: Cerberus being the notable exception as it does *increasing* damage at mid range, then drops off at long range 46: That explains why I have a 31 Resilience on my Geomags. I didn't think any stat went above 30 and it threw me off.

[@CastleContent]

Yep!

[@kaildutey3715]

Adding onto the finisher one. Some finishers have set element damage types, some do kinetic. Most will follow whatever subclass you have equipped.

[@everythingsalright1121]

For ammo finder mods, its something like 5% progress for exotic primary, 1.3% for special and like 1% for heavy. Keep in mind only weapon kills progress the ammo finder meter to 100%. 1/2/3 ammo finder mods gives you 33%/66%/100% of a normal heavy drop

[@fluffypanda6978]

Knew everything, but the ship shader interaction. I have not changed my ship since I got the wisper of the worm ship. Some great tips, but "ludicrous" for some buildcrafting or dim usage seems a bit exaggerated. Still a great video. Some useful suggestions for a 2nd part: - Interaction between Boots of the Assembler + Lumina & Necrotic Grip with Osteo & Thron - Snap Skating (for pvp) - Stasis crystal do shatter damage based on the creation source (eg. grenade damage) - Checking vendors like Xur in Dim - Kinetic weapons does more damage than stasis and strand weapons - Rocket launcher frame damage (not useful, but fun): - dance party key - reroll masterwork on old weapons - set light level stuff like deep dive are not affected by sunsetting, so you can still bring sunset stuff with no issues - some sunset weapons have elements which they cant get anymore

[@ucluu3103]

7:24 the combination blow melee on hunter works the same, but you need to get 1 kill with the melee and then you can make orb infinitely while the perk is on

[@lordofprolapse6719]

The impact casing one is such a relief. If you missed it: increases only the impact damage by 10%, resulting in an overall 2% total damage increase. Now I'm not stressing about getting it on my envious BnS Cold Comfort (if it ever actually drops).

[@jsgaming6469]

So many helpful tips!

[@Based_Shogun]

3:54 this Radiant effect can be frustrating if you're not used to it, so start swapping to your heavy weapon to avoid using a gun that's already benefiting from another mod like Overload or Unstop. Get Radiant, use Power weapon, melt champ.

[@gravity-arbor]

Really helpful !

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Super interesting! Thx

[@pingawingman7710]

The fact I’ve been playing destiny since dark below and didn’t realize the square / triangle changes it it’s a minor / a major is crazy

[@bacarihersey1275]

I haven't watched all the way through but you can also blind threshers with disorienting grenade launchers

[@dxh1799]

Idk if you mentioned it in an early video, I haven’t seen them all but there is a sword of crota combo (or any hive sword) light light heavy. Not only it does more damge than heavy heavy heavy. It also uses less ammo. Try it yourself in the crota raid or in the moon in the wave activity lol I forgot the name. It has its own animation as well.

[@jacobwalker8999]

Been playing 2 months and this was really helpful!

[@sangheilicommander1056]

the last bit about minor major and boss you should have mentioned that Vorpal weapon DOES boost damage to champions despite them being majors. So the best passive damage boost to champs you can get is major spec and vorpal weapon.

[@Tsuki_the_canadian_otaku]

For the offensive bulwark one, it also works for roaring flames, so instead of accidentally throwing your hammer off a cliff at x1 roaring flames cuz uncharged melee instead

[@Knight-zj3fj]

wow that is absolutely very informative even i have been playing the game for like 2 years now but i didnt know this much wow!!

[@trich742]

Things may have changed, but at one point, about a year ago, handling also reduced flinch. There was a few videos which compared the same gun with different handling stats and it did effect the amount of flinch when shot.

[@auspex42]

Flinch is currently reduced by weapon stability and character's resilience (and any unflinching mods and effects you may have).

[@itissoldier7837]

Honestly I knew everything except the gambit mote pick with class ability. Kind of shocked the only thing I didn't know was related to gambit LOL.

2:19 Holding the joystick forward does nothing speed wise, but when the stick is pressed towards the edge it is much easier to do precise left/right adjustments. So it's doing at least something beneficial.

[@CastleContent]

true I was referring to speed/travel, but yep you're absolutely correct I should have made that more clear

[@MeatSlinger_0311]

Pushing forward on the joy stick gives you slightly better turning and handling on your sparrow.

Thanks, I played D1 and dropped D2 warly but nack now with wife and this helps.

[@crossfire207]

Usually chance of ammo brick drops is considered to be not cumulative, but timed with the chance staying the same. So, imagine you have like 10% chance of getting an ammo brick after every kill and the chance is always at 10% no matter how many enemies you killed, but if this chance doesn't proc after some time passes - you get a guaranteed brick to drop. And exotic weapons make this chance not 10%, but 15% (I don't know the real values, those numbers are just for example). You can check that just by not killing enemies and waiting. After set amount of time, you'll still get a guaranteed brick to drop from your first kill, even though you didn't kill any enemies before. I don't remember the exact time, but I think Cheese Forever made video about this.

[@CastleContent]

So I nearly spoke about this in my video, in fact it was even in my script but felt too "into the weeds" haha -- what you're describing is a huge misconception in the community around general ammo VS ammo finders VS guardian activity time, and it's pretty complex but I might add it back in if I make a Part 2.

[@Welverin]

@@CastleContent You probably should.

[@vegancardigan]

Being under tier 3 on any stat gives you a penalty to your cooldown, so a jump from 2 to 3 is going from 90% to 100% original cooldown, and everything after tier 3 is a bonus

[@Herbster0]

I didnt know about the quickswap on swords and the sparrow boost one. Tough i gained a bonus for knowing about prioritizing dex on lower handling weapons . Never noticed the ship shader one either So final score 48/50

Holding forward on your sparrow will actually cause you to fly less far in a jump as opposed to just holding boost when jumping

[@ChaosRaych]

12:02 Arc buddies will also target Moths in Savathun's Throne World (helpful during Lightblade) & baby Screeb in the Tangled Shore, but they're not in the game anymore (RIP)

[@shadow_blaze2317]

I've have Lightblade runs where they wouldn't shoot any moths, but they would do it in the campaign and moon battleground.

[@richphoenixpa]

well considering i had all right before ridiculous, io was level 11 before i got to the stuff that is hard. There is something i do want to point out to you.

3:35 And Taken Acolyte bubbles.

[@BBBey]

Shouldn’t there be a spec mod for every enemy faction in the game? They could each be tied to weapons from each raid respectively, depending on what enemy faction is in that raid. Taken spec is for Last Wish weapons, so there should be a Fallen spec for Deep Stone Crypt, Hive spec (and/or Taken Spec for King’s Fall), Vex spec for Vault of Glass and Garden of Salvation, Cabal Spec for Root of Nightmares, and Scorn Spec (and/or Taken Spec) for Vow of the Disciple. There’s some overlap for a few sets of weapons, but that would go far in a greater effort to normalize gear for all raids, regardless of whether or not people may use them, in my opinion.

[@asimplefarmer6747]

On super energy gains: you missed fragments, specifically on stasis and void

[@CastleContent]

Good call!

[@Julici0us_]

Kickstart mods don't work if you have two charges of what it is focused on. So using it on revenant hunter melee doesn't work unless you quickly use both charges up.

[@calebcarlton6935]

But the thing is it works for double grenades and double class ability. Just not melee. Which is weird.

[@shadow_blaze2317]

They made the change for grenades when Lightfall launched because it was a common complaint that exotics that gave you 2 charges like Osmiomancy gloves or energy on hit like Contraverse could trigger before the kickstart and stop it from working.
