[@JoeyLuGaming]

Hey everyone, so I have debated on either updating this guide with another video or I can still answer any questions here on this video. Nothing has changed in terms of HL. Melee and single target is still the same. There are some adjustments to make it better but I’m curious to know if everyone wants me to either provide more information here or make another video about the rotations and what not. LET ME KNOW 👊👊👊

[@kingfargo9578]

What happens if you aren’t super speed?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

@@kingfargo9578 then you’re out of luck! Haha joking 😁😁 If you’re not super speed you can still be good with HL. Whirling Dervish is stupidly broken to use but you can easily replace it with either chainsaw, entrap, or sonic cry 😊😊😊 The only downfall for being non super speed is that when adds die pretty fast, mostly everyone will be running ahead and get a head start in dpsing the next set of adds. I hope this helps. Any other question please let me know and I’ll try to answer 👊😊

[@iEddyGaming]

REAL TALK: -> Grimorium Artifact at Rank 160 is ideal for AOE. At Rank 200, it reduces the Power Regeneration for Robot Sidekick. -> If your Grimorium is not at Rank 160, use Sonic Cry (Melee) and Light Weight Strike (Range) for Power Interactions. -> If you are Flight/Acrobat and cannot get Whirling Dervish. Replace that with Chainsaw (Blockable) and Ram. -> You can also use Ram into Fan for Range AOE attack. It is just not that good. If there are any question, drop a comment below, Me and Lavender will get back to you as soon as we can. Happy Gaming. - iEddy

[@Vontox]

Hey eddy! Would we replace the 35% finisher for our daze PI if we don’t have grimorium? Then would we also just set up the PI at the beginning of each rotation?

[@iEddyGaming]

Hey Vontox! Yes, that is correct.

[@edgardobirriel9837]

Even if you dont have solar amplifier it is good to put heat vision on the loadout? What are the highest hit you got?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

Edgardo Birriel if you do not have the solar amplifier artifact that is ok. the point of using it is the damage over time and to clip into the rifle tap to proc the strategist card 😊😊 Also I forgot to mention you do not want to channel the whole animation since we’re not using the artifact it’s a waste of damage if you’re channeling. Channel about 1-2 seconds, jump into rifle tap and back into the hand clap grasping hand combo!!!

[@anto3617]

yo, i have solar amp 160, and i have not grig, can I use st loadout anyway?

[@corazon9377]

Good vid keep up the good wrk

[@thekylemontilla]

Just returning to the game. What happened to ram, snap, fan? And I noticed you'reight based, do HL combos not go based off precision anymore?

Yup nerfed amd switched to might instead of prec. Its been a while actually, I think back in 2016-17. 🤔

[@bignormtv6036]

How do I make one like that?

[@iEddyGaming]

Thank you. I use Photoshop for my thumbnails.

[@wordson2852]

The reason you would use inspiration in a might based LO is if you have the critical inspiration head mod, which increases your cr it’s for might and prec

[@JoeyLuGaming]

1. Yes even with the head mod that gives a 2% critical strike chance for using inspiration, IMO its not worth using because you have to reapply it every 12 seconds and I believe doing a standard rotation is far more better than using the buff every 12 seconds. 2. It does not increase might, it's a precision buff, with the head mod it gives a 2% critical strike chance, which sure sounds great for both precision and might, but 2% isnt worth it IMO. As i said these are MY opinions. :):)

[@wordson2852]

JoeyLuGaming I get what you mean, but everything counts, and weapon buffs actually need to be reapplied every 20 seconds now, not 12. Multiple people use the 2% head mod when their only viable SC is neo, because the long cool down for neo makes the head mod obsolete.

[@JoeyLuGaming]

@@wordson2852 Yah thats true, my bad on the 12 seconds, i thought it was 12 seconds x(x( my mistake!!! thats the only reason y i use neo, even tho cool down time is long compare to rage/electrics SC. we need either a %5 head mod buff or a lower cool down for neo to match rage and electric :):)

[@wordson2852]

JoeyLuGaming yes that is true

Very informative.... just ask as a noob im... clipping is just spaming the next skill and lost the animation? Ty

[@iEddyGaming]

Yes, basically canceling out the animation for first power while still getting damage/heal/power out of it, depending on the role.

[@xarhion5325]

I just fell on this bar and really great, my mana thanks you :D, I don't know if this bar is a bit weaker than the other more common bar, but at least with this one, the mana is more manageable, I revisit my light :D

[@MiikeyBoii311]

For COUE first boss, what would be the best set up? like what load out, rotation and artifacts...when the ads are up and when only the boss is up? HL allows you to quickly be able to adjust to both situations, but what is the best set up? Thanks

[@JoeyLuGaming]

Hey Mikey, so the loadout I think would be the best set up in my opinion would be my single target and range rotation, with some modification. Artifacts - (transformation card, strategist card, and grimorium) Loadout - (robot sidekick, handclap, grasping hand, neo-venom, light blast, and either heat vision(single target) or mini-gun(aoe)) So what I would do during 1st boss of COUe, during trigon I would just spam the hand clap and grasping hand combo. That is the best single target for HL. When eyes come out, go into light blast and quickly combo into mini-gun. Let the mini-gun tick for about 3-4 ticks, combo into ram, then use the power mini-gun on your loadout, let it channel for 3-4 ticks, combo into ram and repeat back into light blast, until adds are gone then u can go back to the hand clap grasping hand combo. I hope this answers your question, if you have any other questions lmk I’ll answer them as soon as I can ✌️😊

[@JoeyLuGaming]

In depth how/what to combo what: -Hand clap & graphing hand loadout 1. Hand clap and tap your range button 3 times, then go into 2. Grasping hand, hold melee for the dot, then rinse and repeat #1 and #2. NOTE: the video will help explain if you don’t understand from what i am saying in case 😊😊 -Range AOE loadout 1. Light blast, then hold range into mini-gun as soon as you can. Let the mini-gun tick 3-4 times. Tap range combo into ram. Then use 2. Mini-Gun, let it tick 3-4 times, tap range combo into ram, and repeat #1 and #2 ✌️😊

What to replace whirling dirvish for?if I’m flight?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

you can choose either sonic cry or chainsaw :)

[@rhufnagel]

Question, is hard light just not at all viable as fully ranged for those of us that do not like melee?

[@iEddyGaming]

Hard light's Full Range is not as strong as some other powers. And 90% scenarios you have to stay midrange or melee range with Hard light.

[@rhufnagel]

@@iEddyGaming Ok, thank you. Yeah that stinks. HL was always a fav of mine but I am not a fan of melee. Solid video, thank you.

[@JoeyLuGaming]

So HL range is decent. Not the best but not the worst. But in most content we don’t need to use HL range since it’s not that great like I mentioned in the beginning. But however I will still help make a good range loadout for everyone here. What I’m currently using now since it’s part of my single target loadout, I use Light Blast, let it channel for 1-3 ticks, than combo into Mini-Gun for 3-4 ticks, combo into ram, then use Mini-Gun from my power bar 3-4ticks, combo into ram and repeat. I know it may sound confusing but I’ll try to make a video about it as soon as I can ✌️😊

[@thiagopds13]

Hey @iEddy Gaming Which skill I swap for Sonic Cry until i get my Grimorium to 160?

[@iEddyGaming]

Instead of Sonic Cry use Light Weight Strike because you can use it at full range as well. You can replace Robot Sidekick with Light Weight Strike until your grim is at 160.

daaamn it's been a while! I quit this game after the revamp and havent touched it since. is it worth to come back?did they revert the revamp? or are the low CR raids still impossible for a high CR player?

They changed it back to normal, almost. Lol. You can do low CR raids easily as a high CR now.

[@fosterhighschool88]

Do the new Legion artifacts replace any of these artifacts?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

You could use the hybrid one, but I personally haven’t tested it out to know the potential of it and see if it would make HL good or not, but it’s up to you if you wanna try that. But for me Im still sticking w the trans, strat, grim artifacts for HL 😊

[@psyopopopop7240]

so the light blast at melee rotation is not that important? Because you didnt use it at all, but u put in your loadout. Thanx keep going.

[@JoeyLuGaming]

Hey brother, at the time I thought using light blast was good but IMO I think it’s better using the melee rotation and repeat. Only time I ever use LB was during boss fights in alerts or when adds are lower health and yea they take more dmg for having lower health than 35% essentially but IMO I rather do the melee rotation which is me using only 3 powers. (Whip thrash, whirling dervish, and lightweight) You can switch out light blast for maybe sonic cry or another supercharge if you’re running the EOG variant Hopefully this helps and clarifies the loadout 😁👍 If you have any other questions I’ll do my best to answer them ✌️😀

[@luisburgos6130]

How about a hard light prec

[@iEddyGaming]

I was actually hardlight prec before making this video. Its good but its not great. Also you have to be superspeed to maximize your damage as Precision and most people dislike this cuz they wanna be flight or acrobat. But hopefully, in future I will do a HL prec video just because 😂😂

[@mendezbrian3652]

What can i replace neo venom boost with?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

Neo venom is the only SC to use imo, I’ve seen other videos where some uses speed drain or pheromone bloom. You can try those, but otherwise I advise to stick w neo venom since that’s the only good dps SC.

[@iEddyGaming]

Hard light or quantum better what do you think guys?

[@JoeyLuGaming]

Both are great powers to use My opinion and .02 HL requires to be good at clipping in order to be top dps Quantum is more simpler by using powers 1-5 So it all depends on what you’re looking for in terms of dps In terms on controlling, quantum is better because of CC HL is ok for trolling but not as great CC compare to quantum and a lil but slow on recharge rotation.

Most people dont know this but you're a scammer my guy. I remember the day you traded over 2 billion from someone then disputed the actual cash you sent them through Paypal and you got all your money back and they lost all their cash in game. It was low for you to do that and you should feel ashamed. I called you out in game and I'll call you out on your main channel. If people still support you then good for you. But Ill always call you just so people will know how you actually are. But thanks for the loadout. Time is time.
