Characters that have damage over time moves like freyna, valby, and blair benefit a lot more from ability modifier than characters with high modifiers on their abilities. So for example on sharens sword ability, it has a base modifier of 700% which means Im better off putting a combo of skill power mods on her than trying to get the like 4 seconds of electric damage to hit a little harder especially since you can get that ability to like a 2 second cooldown. Now on freyna who has a lot of DOT built into all her abilities you want to do a combo since her abilities have low base modifiers. People need to actually look at their characters skills and see what is ganna benefit that character most, not just slap on what sounds good. You can use the training room to test the increases that mods give you one at a time to see which has more impact that way you know what mods you want to level in what order. I always put survivability mods first, then largest damage increases to smallest that way, by the end im just min maxing. Also I would wait to use catalysts until you either test transcendent mods for your character yourself or watch a video on them, because you don't want to use a bunch of catalysts then realize that the mods need to be changed due to one of your skills changing the way its damage in distributed.

The simplest way I understand it is All "skill power" mods add together to multiply reactor. Reactor x (1+mod1+mod2+ etc) While "skill power modifier" adds to the ٪ on the right when looking at skills. Using the 40% skill adding a 40% "modifier" doubles, 80% triples 40+40=80% 40+80=120% Around 200 SP modifier is where it's more benefit to increase SP instead of SPM 20%SPM at an already 200 essentially is only a 10% increase
@HenryBleachАй бұрын
Save yourself 10 minutes, here is a few sentences summary. 1) Skill Power: Directly increases your base skill power by a percentage. For example, if your skill power is 11,696 and you increase it by 133%, you multiply by 1.33 to get the new skill power. 2) Skill Power Modifier: Increases the multiplier used in skill damage calculations. If a skill's base modifier is 209%, adding a 13% modifier increases it to 222%, enhancing the damage output significantly.

@hardluckmk.52Ай бұрын
Note: ajax’s void charge mod is still all over the place with problems if you have it you know but mods like technician actually affects *expulsion’s* defense scaling or whatever by what appears to be an additive amount so at max you got DEF x 53.4% or something on top of your skill damage scaling so…not impressive as it usually will just be between 200k and 300k dmg from your expulsion…which is a lot more than the most damage from a single rocket…well no not really because weakpoints and crits but yea hope they fix that mod Note there are few mods that increase skill power modifier but most won’t be able to stack only walk a tightrope(must be below half health for 30%), iron defense(like 12.7% but 89.9%def so..), and any attack mod of your choosing either technician/skill simplification/maximize power in order from least to highest amount granted but the last two having a trade off of cooldown or max mp Don’t have either to know the max amount but in hopefully i prevent people from getting their hopes up Just learned it’s supposedly 96.1% on maximize power so altogether that’s basically still just 300k total unless I’m calculating the interaction between DEF power and skill power but maximize power gives a +50% ability cooldown as well still don’t think it’s a lot

Feel like most of the video, the calculation part either adding more confusion or was a bit redundant when the game shows the numbers and calculates it for you.

You should have one Hp mod maxed out and one defense mod about halfway. With the resist all mod after that. Before you ever touch skill power and it's modifier. Weapon mods should be two mods that give attack boost (slow art mod) is a good purple mod but decreases fire rate. So you want to get a fire rate mod to rebalance that after the two attack mods. Just those 3 mods took a level 100 weapon I had to the next level. Rule of importance No.1- Hp(defense, and resistance have a maximum amount of reduction they can offer and the base value of shields is much lower than Hp) No.2-Defense (This decreases the overall damage you take) No.3-Resistance( I Have half the number I need for hard bosses and yet I survive quite well because this is just another reduction and my hp is High.) Notes: Make sure you get the best external components and reactor you can. That will give you the edge and the reactor will be your primary skill boost until later.

The only characters that want to invest in shields are Enzo and Kyle. The math guys have found out DEF is also kinda worthless once you're Lv100. Get around 5K DEF (unless you're Ajax), then just invest in HP modules and HP boosting external components. 20K HP is significantly stronger than 80K DEF. Shields would rival HP, but their modifiers are too low when compared to HP.

Not really, the gain from modifiers on some characters like ajax, with over 1000% skill power modifier, esiemo with 6000 and Kyle hitting 10k on his ultimate mean that the small gain in modifier has very little impact on the final damage, however the raw skill power has a far larger impact. Plus, using both removes space for things like area or cooldown / duration or just more def / hp. Overall, low skill power modifier skills will benefit far more from the 'modifier' mods while high skill power modifiers will benefit more from raw power. Use both of you couldn't get better performance from other mods, my ajax (ultimate) could not fit them in so I use non attribute skill power that also reduces cooldown as a best bang for buck option.
