Swing just found something out Classes have penalties ---Leader's get no penalty (Arthur is bugged and increases range weapons by 30% no ability required "cough F U Annie") ---Warrior range hits for 50% less damage ---Hunters melee hits for 30% less damage (Kelly's Master let's her have only 10% less melee damage on the meat hammer) Healers do 20% less damage for range and melee weapons They really need to label things

[@Monkey_Business_JJ]

I’d absolutely love to see a guide to demons and their builds. Vote this comment up if you agree.

[@Monkey_Business_JJ]

At long last... When RE Resistance was still a thing, I trusted SwingPoynt to educate us on how to make builds that build on the base strengths of the characters. Now, we get our first list of builds for Evil Dead: The Game. I cannot wait to use these to the fullest once I level up my characters.

[@nyahszn]

SAME!

[@medfibezk8745]

Really feel like the builds are self explanatory in this game, a lot of the points are obviously good and others quite obviously bad.

[@Monkey_Business_JJ]

@@medfibezk8745 It’s more straightforward than RE Resistance, but it doesn’t hurt to get information from someone who runs testing on everything. What's more, some of the numbers aren't being accurately reflected in the character sheet, like how Annie's ability only gives a 30% boost to ranged instead of the 100% that it states.

[@ditch5662]

always has and always will. Man is a god for games like this.

[@LuciusPepega]

This is definitely a great help in figuring out every good builds, I'm trying to get all survivors to level 25 and have got 4 of the survivors to level 25, 3 of the Ash and Arthur, now at least I don't have to scour youtube for a good build for each survivor. It would also be cool to know what to use your pink f on first, what should be prioritise and what could be forgo early on.

[@DuneCrescent]

I would say when it comes to leaders - Ash should prioritize his aura because he gives an overall boost to damage and fear resistance which is huge, Annie I'd say more towards a hunter build so dodging and range is best for her and Arthur you will want survivability as he may do nice melee damage but he REALLY needs that survivability as he does not come with the tankiness warriors will have innately

[@dkres82]

Good call. Actually working on Arthur right now.

[@Mali8029]

Your assumption is correct, at least for Arthur. The dmg calc goes something like BaseWeaponDmg*(Aura+Master)*Ability*Devastating Force and if he is using a sword during lord's wrath he gets 14 base dmg so: White Sword values are (80+14)*(1.30+1.06)*1.30*1.15 = 191 on first light attack, fractions are rounded. Other values are: -183 without master -125 without ability -120 without master and ability so in my opinion the damage increase seems very low for 4 points into master plus the 3 other point in cardio arcane and quicker you may not even want so a 7 point investment for such low return. It is probably best to focus on DR DMG and fast forward

[@TheRealLarcin]

Oh, thx for that. I just asked that question

[@june5877]

My gut tells me there are some very unique Pablo builds out there

[@Lenown]

Since you play pc. I play console and the F spam is clicking in R3 which is a pain in the ass. But on ps you can change your buttons to make custom load out on any game in accessibility. So I changed r3 to l1. So I ping with r3 and execute with l1. For me it's a pain to click in r3 while rotating the camera :)

[@michaelachin]

this video helped me learn so much thank you! Do you have an update for the new survivors?

[@SkieShauphen]

Good stuff. Please please keep testing around with numbers. I don't have a dedicated group yet to get to test in private matches so I'm relying on people to do some good science out there. Agreed with your builds for the most part. I'm glad you mentioned how the leaders have trickier builds and a 1 size fits all is difficult for them since they seem to operate on more of a "what does the team need" strategy. 1 thing I will say, is I recently ended up putting the fear resistance points in my hunters into other stats since it seemed to do nothing for me. With the lowest fear resist in the game, even with max fear resist, I it feels like your at max fear with 1 scare anyways. I guess 20% of nothing is still nothing

[@dkres82]

Curious does the Schemps boost also apply to teammates? I never really paid attention to it to see if there’s a difference.

[@violau8550]

It is for the whole teammate, and it's huge difference, especially warrior have fat hp

[@dkres82]

@@violau8550 nice

[@violau8550]

Especially Henry since he gain another 10% hp on his level 25, even with 4 pts on with Cheryl level 25 perk, you may just heal him like 40% hp, but well maybe that's why he need shield more

[@therodrigochronicles9740]

I think Annie is bugged because it is supposed to be 100%

[@SoapPhoenix2998]

I agree with the hunter build but instead of fear i just go for bonus damage with head shots and you you be doing 2k or more damage per shot on the last bullet. The way I deal with fear is stay with teammates no matter what. Loot building often always move in darkness and use match’s as needed throughout the game cause match’s are like all over the place for me. Also avoid all trees that can scare you but you got to know what the look like though.

[@dkres82]

Tree avoidance is tough sometimes. But yeah if you actually monitor and grab matches fear isn’t a huge issue most times. Can also drop your ammo or gun and that just stops them from really being able to do much.

[@Prawnsacrifice]

Your so right about hunters dude iv lost count how many times as Amanda iv been possessed an team wiped 😞

[@oneANGRYelf]

I’m surprised you don’t put points into “Fast Forward” for support players.

does ashes damage reduction ability work on ash shields

[@jadeharlan3042]

I’ve been looking for your account for so long now, I started watching you a few years ago and couldn’t remember your KZbin name but finally found it😂😂 also the last of us 2 is out (as you probably know) and I was wondering if u could post the gameplay if u choose to play it

[@mosesmaserati_9350]

He did play it and I believe it was posted

[@nicolask4742]

does the chainsaw count as a one handed or two handed weapon ?

[@Lenown]

I played a game earlier today where a hunter had the Stam build and I chanced him for like 5 minutes and all he did was walk backwards and dodge my attacks. So I left him. Found the other 3 as they was doing the dagger. Dropped them. Then just surrounded the 3 with units and kept hunter away until time ran out

[@LGPPMcCrandle]

On your “1 tip for every survivor” you mentioned Annie was your favorite leader. Does your opinion change now you see how her abilities are expressed. Would you pick El Jefe or Arthur now?

[@matt2much]

I think some abilities counteract each other. If demon has +5 percent damage and survivor has -5 damage they cancel each other out

[@dkres82]

True

[@N1ceDreamsz]

Well yeah obviously. But it's better to counteract it than being in the minus zone.

[@TheRealLarcin]

So Arthur's ability is 30% more melee dmg when active. Plus another 30% for light and heavy attacks when he's a high level. Master of influence adds 20% so what's the math here? Is Arthur's math different because it improves the dmg of specific attacks as well as melee dmg as a whole? And which percentage would master of influence be improving?

[@N1ceDreamsz]

It's percentage multiples, they don't add the percent to each other. Arthur is garbage tbh, no leader is really worth using. Arthur's biggest weakness is his defence is awful. It should be 4 defence points and 1 range point. Not 3 and 2. The guy wears armour yet his defence is awful.

[@TheRealLarcin]

@@N1ceDreamsz I wouldn't say pointless. Arthur's melee aura really helps when everyone is smacking the same player controlled target. And his fear removal while it's active is useful anytime. I've seen many games lost simply because the hunter got possessed. Leaders for sure need a buff, but it's not pointless.

[@justin_fv]

Hey! I have been loving ur content. learned alot about the game. thank you for that. I have a question, can Henry be interrupted when his ability is active while reviving a teammate? i was interrupted thrice by an Eligos and once by an Elite and found it a little suss so i thought i would ask thanks again!

[@Prawnsacrifice]

Yeah iknow for a fact grab attack gets him and your jumps scares can do it I believe. not really sure tho only played against him ATM 🙂👍

[@xXMemelord]

He can still be attacked, he just doesn't take damage. So all effects that would stun the character still do so. Edit: Stunned is not knocked back. Basic and heavy attacks will knock you back, but you won't be stunned. The stuns you can do in the game (to my knowledge): All boss grab attacks Eligos Shockwave Demi-Eligos Lightning Bolt

[@truebacon133]

The 2 extra points in Staying Power only takes it from 6 to 7 once maxed in game so not worth it since 6 is already enough

[@lucrative6477]

for the hash build put 2 point into the less spread on shots and he's a monster with the double barrel.

[@N1ceDreamsz]

Never a good idea. It's bad Enough if your team mate gets possessed and 2 taps you with a shotty, but giving the demon such range to two tap you from 20 meters away is even worse. Should be using spread weapons up close anyway

[@lucrative6477]

@@N1ceDreamsz hunters are for trolling anyways. No other reason to have one.

[@VenomG69]

Could you do a guide on each of the missions because they are relatively hard when you're a new player

[@carminedies3481]

Go to Slash N Cast channel

[@N1ceDreamsz]

If people can't do the missions they sure as hell can't play against a half decent demon. Just play the game more and they'll see what they are doing wrong in the missions. And if they don't learn they just suck. A lot of people suck and that's fine.

This means Arthur is basically a semi hunter and warrior with 30% boost to damage for both ranged weapons and melee, now does that mean his melee damage get weaker with the melee upgrade, I don't know yet, gotta test it first.

And the Hunter class is very good at Killing teammates while posessed 🤣

[@N1ceDreamsz]

Worst people for it are Ash hunters.. dumb asses don't know how to drop a weapon or manage their fear. Every time I get two tapped by a possessed team mate it's a dumb ass Ash user every single time.

Just plaz againts me and zou will win ewerz time i played 20 matches and was not able to down even one survivor my minions do 0 damage

[@saihiko9967]

Swing Scotty, has a bug where his head hit box counts as his heavy attack, which stacks with the 100 damage hit from his ability, so if I do 400 damage with a heavy attack, if I hit them with my head, it will add the 400 damage with 100 damage, with also the heavy attacks balance bar damage too.

[@boomknight1015]

It's weird, you can't really attack warriors / Hunters that well, how ever possessing them is crazy strong and they tend to be the weakest as fear goes.

[@gamingwithgage4952]

Hey swingpoint I tried to tell you this on Twitter but some survs when you posses them can use their ability. I e tested this and it works for Henry, Amanda, Scotty, and hash Could work with others If you try and doesn't work try spamming the ability button as soon as possessing a survivor

[@N1ceDreamsz]

Or maybe when you possessed them, their ability was already activated

I felt like Annie ability was not 100% percent, it it was I felt like it should have done so much more damage but when I used her I felt I still doing not much damage compare to a hunter, I know hunters do more damage but I thought Annie could do almost as much, kind of disappointed as I wanted to really like Annie.

[@violau8550]

How can Annie do as much as hunter since hunter have way more skills tree for damage boost,

[@fanofeverythingweridandcut8631]

@@violau8550 I just thought the 100% perfect damage would make it so Annie could be almost as good as a hunter but to if you did point skill points into hunters they do much more damage still but Annie could at least give hunters more ways to do damage but as of right now 30% is not big enough especially since she has a 40 second cooldown even with upgrading the quicker cooldown skill.

@@fanofeverythingweridandcut8631 but anyway, annie is giving everyone 30% more range damage, that alone can make everyone deal good range damage
