[@nullvoid2001]

Can we get gley next?

[@Nurimac]

I am genuinely curious, what would you do to fix her? I mean i myself feel like her kit fall short on what it needs to be on base line plus her trans mods are kinda the same in terms of falling short. I feel like the devs tried to make her a little of everything and fails on each front. There are better bossers better mobbers and better supports, and that's fine but she need something to stand out. I have my one ideas if you were at all interested but im kinda interested on how you would address her if fix/buffed/reworked.

2 big reason for take viessa at 1st descendant lol

[@Aurummorituri]

Just finished my Absolute Zero Viessa. She’s not as flashy as Bunbun or Freyna, but anything in front of her or chasing her just dies. You have to rely on gunplay more than Freyna, but her Ult is drop and go without the risk of interruption and you can go ham with Afterglow or Enduring while you beam the face. Less of a nuke, but I feel way less squishy. Also, I don’t have to trade speed/AOE for more boss damage.

[@VashCowaii]

"bunbun"

[@Aurummorituri]

@ Freyna is buena, Viessa is mi Contessa, and Bunny is…just Bunbun. 😄

[@St1ckY72]

Yeah, she's feel much more well rounded than any other character I've played so far. Well, maybe ajax. The fact that she isn't super squishy and she inherently deals cc, most other descendants are support only or glass cannons. Viessa feels tanky enough to take a few punches without even building into tankiness.

[@ih5004]

​@@St1ckY72i thought im the only one who think that viessa is more tanky than bunny and freyna. I even solo infiltration dungeon and boss and i didnt die, while bunny and freyna, well, in standard mission they often die

I main Viessa for her thighs and her unique pistol sheathed position whilst on her back in comparison to any other descendant which is unique

[@BasedBrave]

Everybody just wants every character to be a nuke. It’s just that simple. If they not a walking nuke like Freyna and Bunny they useless

[@NotFound-tj3vp]

Agree, this game is becoming the next Warframe, if you don't nuke the entire room or don't do negative red numbers then your build / frame.or weapon sux

[@RagaGearforever5]

It's all because of how they designed the hard content. Asking you to slay more than 500 mobs in every dungeon, leads to make players look for big and consistent aoe damage on their characters and weapons. Colossus battles are the only difference now, but now everyone is building max shields and enduring legacies to tank and DPS the bosses with every single descendant.

[@BasedBrave]

@@RagaGearforever5I was one of the first people to ever get enduring legacy. It’s a great gun. I just so happen to notice a common tread with the majority of the content creators of TFD….they hard focus on meta to much. What makes 400% dungeons (hard) is the density, keep in mind they don’t have the enemies with the special abilities, no drain, immunity etc. imagine that. Probably and hopefully that will be what mega dungeons are. That will perhaps tilt the meta and make people think more power over all rather then just damage numbers.

[@flameofanor1415]

​@@RagaGearforever5Because Death Stalker forces you into shields, smartass, not because its the best build.

[@BasedBrave]

@@flameofanor1415 She doesn’t force players to do anything, players just go to their favorite content creator and copy paste a build. You don’t need shields players just follow the meta without thinking for themselves. I farmed Death Stalker and got R4 Frost Watcher in no time on my Gley while using the Blue Beetle to wipe the debuff off me. That’s a player issue not a developer issue and they sure have addressed this in the most recent Q&A that they will indeed be adjusting and and adding more diversity to the mission types etc. The community is to is to meta focused and it’s not only easy to change that…it will change

[@shwoompyy]

I’m not a Viessa hater, she was my first ultimate purely because I wanted an ice descendant, and I invested a lot into her. But I couldn’t agree more with your statement, I haven’t used her ever since I got Hailey.

[@pacer2310]

I've been playing spam build for several months now. She's still my go-to Descendant for most content that aren't Colossi. What you've said is true, but I think she's perfectly fine. She's just not overtuned like Freyna or Hailey. What's sad is I think post-buff Blair may actually be better than her now.

[@Ceno420]

Viessa is one of the only characters that can still use an ability on an enraged Colossus. If you throw her ice shard so that it blows up like a burst around right above the Colossus rage plug, it will do A LOT of damage to it. She may not be perfect but she's still better than at least 25% of The Descendants.

[@ADway-hn7qu]

TL;DW: Viessa isn't meta so just go play meta. F is for "farming" not "fun". Ok, all seriousness, it's fine for a character to just be fine.

[@DarrieusJohn]

Exactly, she's very much a jack of all trades kind of character, she's okay at everything but far from the best.

[@andypanda889]

Take your time and build every ultimate descendant. They all have something good to offer. Sometimes i feel playing Viessa, other day Valby, then Freyna, etc. It is good to explore into different options. We all know Freyna is the 'do anything, kill everything easy and fast' character in the game. You can just rely on her and forget any other investments yet i don't feel like playing with her only every day every time is a fun thing. Also i don't like to run as horse and stress myself thinking i have to rush all the content in a week then cry like a monkey and blame the devs because there is no content and nothing else to do (there is always something to do but it means 'use your brain'). Whatever. Have fun people. TFD is a great game. Just calm down and take your time. Viessa is fun as hell. Has many options, modules, advantages. Don't get crazy because you killed that colossei in 7 seconds instead of 5. Maybe because you don't feel to move and use your gun is 'good' compared to just throw a skill and then sit down waiting everything to meltdown. Idk people. When the 'fun' became just 'have everything fast, easy and cheap'. Something is deeply wrong here.

[@TheSADOHUNTER]

As a Viessa main player I want to thank you. You nailed it! Especially the comment on 3 different characters and shoving them together. I love to play Viessa but compared to the other choices she got hosed by the developers. I use her for Mobbing and bosses when I want/need resistance to what ever I am dealing with fire/toxic/ etc. She definitely needs a rework but her and Sharen are what I play most. Yeah I am weird but I am not gonna defend her because you explained what I am seeing with her. Maybe some day she can be as good as Hailey with guns and Freyna with mobbing.

90% of people who build viessa build her for the xp farm, and most importantly proficiency xp, which was very hard to acquire, until recently when they introduce the 400% dungeons, So the people who build her they got the most out of her already. and she still good at those two things, So definitely she was worth the investment, i got the most out of her, Build her now as new player probbley not worth, Unless you like the character, then you do you.

[@RandyHance]

Love your videos man. Solod Infernal Walker with CB / Blue Beetle in one minute shortly after the buff to both. Might be time to revisit.

[@Revvlyn]

i really hope the devs watch this video and take suggestions from the community and they give her a much needed rework/massive buff, the idea of an ice queen character was very appealing to me from the start so she was my starter descendant but after trying other descendant you can really notice how lackluster she is compared to the other characters, rn bunny, freyna, valby and etc are so much better and fun to use than her (mostly freyna and valby being my favs) sucks the only use i gave her before the increase in xp for weapons and character is to use her for weapon leveling and mastery xp. now with special operations you can max level a weapon as fast or faster than her while not being so goddamn boring

[@John-t5k]

Thanks for this video, very detailed and definitely agree with your take on Viessa. I've tried a bunch of different builds for her trying to find just the right fit, but I always come away with the fact that she's sorely lacking relative to most of the other descendants. I feel the same way about Blair. It's a shame because she's a pure ice character and Blair is a pure fire character, you'd think they'd both be among the strongest descendants. Hopefully the devs are watching your vids and they decide to buff these two up like they did with Kyle and Esiemo.

[@dinvsl]

Just join the crowd playing mindlessly as Freyna and you’ll be fine.

[@Azuline501]

I like how she gets two default (built-in) V (crit-related) polarities on ultimate viessa, biggest bait/trap of all ultimate descendants.

[@chipperdrewski]

As a Viessa main, I completely agree with this video.

[@Qballiz2kool]

I invested 7 catalysts into the Ultimate Egyptian ice cat…… Only for her to be relegated to chill void shard farming and that’s about it. XD That eating pizza with a spoon analogy describes Viessa in her current state pretty well… The problem is you COULD play Viessa, but then you’ve got other infinitely better options to use like Freyna/Bunny for mobbing, or Gley/Hailey for bossing, so it becomes the question of “why” when you think about using Viessa for something outside of getting void shards from a Frozen void fragment.

She's one of my 5 mains. She's really fun to use, as you use all her skills for the mission. Freyna/bunny gets stale quick, especially bunny she's extremey boring. Viessa is the most engaging. Her and lepic, my favorite for dungeons. It's not always about completion time, there's people who like to play the game and not rush through it. I never use her for bossing though, not even once.

[@ScarBebop]

Viessa has always felt like one of those Descedants that you would think is top-tier because of the hyper specific niches she fills but when you actually want to use her for anything else, the veil gets lifted and you realize she's actually incredibly mid. The only thing that makes her impressive is the fact that her skill 4 can kill enemies before they even spawn into the floor. Thats it. And when she can't do that everything about her kit just feels weak. On another note, WOO, the cats back! \o/

[@kurdoras]

[@ghedin4]

The thing Viessa excels at is dungeons with hard bosses. She is also the most fun descendant to play. Yet, Viessa's damage vs Colossi needs a buff. I would love a buff to Frost Watcher, either so it can proc with 100% chance or it's duration needs to be doubled at the very least. And it should provide more skill power. Noone but Viessa would actually use it, and Viessa would use it only for bossing. This would be the easiest way to buff her bossing. Also, all red mods other than Cold Bloodedness need a buff. As for mobbing, there's no need for a buff. Your mobbing build sucks so much, if that's what you're using in dungeons, you surely would feel like a liability. In dungeons, my Viessa kills trash as quick as any other descendant, except Freina. Also my Viessa kills bosses faster than any other descendant, except Hailey. As for your bossing build, where is Dangerous Ambush, lol? If you go for Colossi with Viessa you should go solo and kill it before enrage phase, in this case Slayer set and Dangerous Ambush is the way to go. In group play i don't recommend going in with Viessa at all, even though you can do somewhat _decent_ damage just using your ultimate.

[@AzurePromise]

Bro these KZbin opinion guys are always wild. And people listen to them. When they build wrong play wrong or just flat out aren't even good.

[@monostorizsolt2472]

Agree! Booth on the bossing build, and his mobbing build sucks! Coldblooded is the slowest clear for dungeon, for bossing no ambush when the only time you will certenly hit with blizzard is when the boss is staggered. The range of Blizzard is so low, that to me feels like a waste to improve for bossing. If the boss is agile it will move out of the range before the second tick anyway, if the boss is big and slow will stay inside mostly anyway. She does not make a huge damage, but can shine with CB on add clear while adding extra dmg, pulling off the agro from the gleys and hailey (also directly buffing haileys dmg). On executioner you can keep clear even 3 portals while you aim every 4th shard at the frenzy tube, i managed to save myself from so many wipes because of her! I dont want her to become a braindead descendant like freyna kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooOkdXSofMRofM0si=E4dhxbE2_YTQmcsl Thats a 0 investment freyna, 1 skill 1 room - what is the joy in it? Viessa defenetly need a fix, but the HP of the enemies should be raised by 20x The joke is that A-0 frost road can dish out 1M dmg + /mob And hypotermia, just with the dot can dishes out 1.1M dmg/mob without duration increase Hypo has a really strict build with only 2 flexy slot, and A-0 lives on crit, so probably that one as well if you want to max efficency She needs fixes thats for certain

Well, I would word it differently. She's not 'strong', but I find her one of the most fun to play with a very active playstyle if you minimize cooldown (and solve the resulting MP issues). That for me makes her 'good' :-) I only wish her 3rd was Cold Snap Watch by default, as Frost Shard and Cold Snap are a bit redundant in my book.

[@AzurePromise]

My Viessa has been an absolute asset in any party ive ever been in. I use her for 400% dungeons. I no longer use her for bossing in intercepts since hailey made everything else meaningless. But her dungeon value is pretty clutch. Quit hating bro

[@Hac-dieu]

Honestly agree, I invest heavily into Viessa because I bought her swimsuit. None of the 3 Transcendent mod builds that most people make videos and suggest felt all that fun to use (cold blooded being the funnest). I hope that the next major updates overhaul her kit.

Viessa's best ability is the power to wear a slingshot.

[@karraeotus4682]

I'm unaware if they've made any changes to viessa in the last week or so, but prior to that I ran/run a build that has somewhere around a 50% crit chance and absurd crit damage (guestimating about 400% because I log in infrequently), and hit for 400k non-crits and 1mil crits with her first ability alone. beyond that, I use ice needle (because it seemed cool) and do more damage atop that. HOWEVER, she is my only truly high invested character and after seeing your other videos, I realize that said numbers are in fact.... average at best. I personally disagree with the idea that she is directly bad, but that is moreso a matter of opinion when speaking about a game where okayish damage does everything just fine. You definitely know what you're talking about (not sarcasm) and I respect your points.

[@Awiatar]

As much I really like her kit and playstyle for being just a basic Descendant that mixes gameplay with abilities and weapons like in every single looter shooter (Borderlands, The Division, etc.). 90% of the time I'm using Bunny for farming, 5% Hailey for Bossing on both Gun and Zenith Builds and the rest 5% is Nuking Freyna or Outpost Sharen Farming. As much I love the feedback from Devs and they are not trying to nerf things but buff others it's a nice change of pace coming from different PVE games, but with these recent buffs they are Power Creeping other Descendants or Weapons. And the new players will always chase meta or whats good to improve they current and future time spend in the game

[@KhallStream]

The one thing Viessa has over Jayber for me that settles it is she has an Ultimate version. Which means I don’t waste catalysts on a normal descendant that will most likely be replaced and deleted later. Hope they allow carrying over upgrades to Ult versions later, I’d be more willing to spend time on building more characters. Thanks for the awesome explanations on the inner workings on the game though! They help a lot when trying to avoid wasting precious resources for us casual players with little time to spend on the more grindy aspects of TFD.

I’m trying your build. Works quite well. Noticed she kinda works best as a speed demon skill spammer. Which I know is pretty much the build but, add the Albion Cavalry Gun. Now she’s a speed demon. Just need a good build for the gun. Not worth a flip against bosses though, mobs are a different story.

[@grilup360]

I enjoy using her, especially her Az build but hey to each their own

[@GamerX9428]

6 catalysts down the drain

[@Comeback180]

Wait for her buffs this Thursday Dec 5 with season 2 update.

[@suburbhermit8792]

Viessa main here... I have to agree with this. Viessa does need something that makes her unique. I suggest that she needs to be a CC and Damage character, but leaning more heavily on crowd control. The viessa main should be rewarded for building proper by allowing them to slow down enemies and colossi to a stand still for at least up to 10 seconds.. That would make her synergize with most team comps who are made up of lepic's, gley's and hailey's to do some crazy damage. Kinda like how Valby can make enemies have -20% electric resistance to allow Bunny players to do more damage. Also F Glacial cloud, F that stupid transcendent mod.

[@valtor12]

As someone who loves Viessa and enjoys playing her, I just have to say, you’re absolutely correct 😢 it breaks my heart but she’s just not good. She is my second most catted descendant behind Kyle, and I regret it. I never use her for anything because there’s another descendant that can do it better, faster, and more efficiently than her. I really hope they rework her and turn her into the skill spamming queen she was meant to be.

[@MrTodalexandrov]

She was my starter and i really tried to make Ultimate work and its fun to skill spam but i never use her...other than the frost damage on void shards

[@p3t_3r]

I remember playing viessa during the steam beta and she was just as underwhelming then. she has ALWAYS needed a rework.

[@modernbeatnik]

I imagine your pre buff Freyna video would have been about like this or perhaps worse of a review. So now I wonder what a post buff Viessa will be like if Nexon does the same with their upcoming balancing efforts in season 2.

[@quinn636]

Good video as always, fucking great thumbnail.... as always

[@dragonpanda1301]

How dare you do this fair lady Viessa!😡😠😣

[@Gallosh]

"Glacial Cloud" is only dumb to you bc you see only numbers and not actual gameplay... and thats ok btw, I'm only here for a "numeric" point of view. For everyone else, the character is super fun and really strong in a bunch of situations.

[@stevendavis6157]

She's not that good. She really needs a rework. Like turn her into an actual walking blizzard.

[@dacks3375]

@@stevendavis6157 Making her a blizzard is easy. Stop using Cold Bloodedness and use Frost Roads as it was intended with Absolute Zero on Ult Viessa. It causes damage as you run placing frost on the ground. And alot of it with crit mods and full cooldowns.

[@stevendavis6157]

@dacks3375 That's not a walking blizzard. That sounds like a rain storm!

[@kassandrajade3643]

Any updates on builds regarding the buffs?

[@Dekarowski25]

Do the characters change in terms of how useful they are? I only played the early beta so i don't know. In warframe the frames do get upgrades but that's probably the diference betwen developers i guess

[@digidigdj1]

have to agree, 380hrs in and i have a semi build viessa cause i needed a ice user for farming certain void shards (i dont build non ult, unless they add a feature where u can transfer CC to ults from OG descendants) so i had no choice with viessa. She feels so lack luster in everything in the game where i can just run another descendant that does 2-5x better job than her when built right.

[@Saggyspandex]

Best thumbnails ever 😊

[@IdiawesKara]

she's op because most of the main content in the game is weak to ice right now, while the opposite is true, fire is the weakest element since there is no content weak to it

[@ModPhreak]

My problem with viessa is placing the snow globe pedistal, since so many surfaces make it red/not placeable. This takes to much time and the range is not big enough. She was my main until the Freyna rework.

[@AzurePromise]

What are you trying to target my dude? Because I don't encounter this much of ever. Most typically in the bunny cave and that's really it...

[@w1mark275]

Just wanted to ask something stupid. if you use the tamer with general rounds compulsive you can activate the arche peacemaker inversion reinforcement for viessa for 25% skill cost reduction. Is this even worth considering even though you'll lose 20% on your reactor optimization bonus since you have to use a purple reactor instead of a gold?

[@AzurePromise]

It's not worth using or building for the inversion buffs because they're temporary

[@Dyminxsh]

Could you please optimize a supercooled kuiper round build?

[@thorinhannahs4614]

I was building base descendants before building their ults. I decided not to build Ult Viessa but I built everyone else because I just don't like Viessa. Good to know she is in the funk.

[@MTODbasics]

Why I play Viessa: A: Base outfit doesn't look like a total thirst trap. B: Is not Bunny. C: Her skills are fun to use.

[@makotomurazakieng6219]

"is not bunny" anti-tryhard player user detected, opinion rejected 🤣

[@MTODbasics]

@makotomurazakieng6219 Just meant that everyone plays Bunny or Freyna.

[@makotomurazakieng6219]

@@MTODbasics it's the litteral definition of "meta", highest % of players who uses similar builds

[@nuke2099]

Her base outfit was THE thirst trap until people got Ultimate Bunny or Gley.

[@hexerin]

Regarding the whole "Blizzard randomly loses one tick of damage" thing. Literally all they need to do to fix that is change Blizzard's base duration to 6.1 seconds. That extra 0.1 second would completely fix the issue.

[@VashCowaii]

It likely would, yeah, but will that happen is the better question

[@Mandingo_]

any build update for her?

[@razia6046]

We need an update on this

[@justmate2322]

Am i crazy or wrong cause my blue beetle says 115% cc on the buff not 30%

You're right, but it was 30% until a few days ago.
