same, everyone is saying to just max blue modules since they give straight up bonuses compared to purples that have 1-4% less but either has another positive or a negative.
@Sojo21425 күн бұрын
@@Antonin1738It’s true in a lot of cases. Two purples that were perfectly aligned and gave bonuses to the same two stats are probably less than two blues for those individual stats? And I’m not sure if that exists, honestly.. Anyways, point is, purples are additional to blues to further your build, if the blue exists. I don’t believe there is a blue skill power, only modifier. Once you get to that point, you’re refining your stats and build to a finalized form, while blues are just good for most things.

Thanks for this! Another way to just make this easy is just look at the before and after percentage numbers. For example, if you put a skill power modifier and it changes from 500% (grey/bnfore) to 1000% (green/after), then you know that you got a 100% boost, which is A LOT!. If it changes from like 500% to 550%, then you know the difference is small and not worth it. Swap out mod and try another, then relook at stats

I would love to see an spreadsheet doc that is made with each Mod Chip (maxed stats at minimum, or best having stats of each level as depending on your capacity, you might not want to max the chip....). Ideally, each chip would then be sorted into columns of their respective damage modifier pool type. Maybe add in color to chips if they belong to a specific type (thus can only equip one). This way you can further visually see if you wanted to use two chips but cannot as you would not be able to place two of the same color on a build.... This would really help in planning out the build and knowing which would be ideal for each character/skill. Please make something to this effect. It would be amazing.

Great video, small note tough. At some point you mention that stacking skill power from multiple sources is better than using one source, for example base skill power and primary element skill power (toxic, chill, etc). For certain module choices though, this does not hold. When choosing a 'Battle'-type module, your choices are typically between the common 'Specialist' modules (max 81.2% Element Skill Power), 'Focus on' modules (max 77% Element Skill Power) and 'Master' modules (max 44.4% Base Skill Power and 19% Element Skill Power). As the Master modules provide boosts to both sources, some people may believe this would be a better option. Doing the math reveals that both 'Focus on' and 'Specialist' modules outperform the Master modules.
