actual good beginners guide ngl, but once u get the basics down its all about practice and playing A LOT

[@Kor0ismEee]

gyatt!

[@MalevolentCherry]

Easy for people who dont go to college or don’t take much classes in high school of college. Really damn hard when you have so much work you can’t practice pvp. (I am the one swamped with work, the only thing carrying me in being good at pvp despite being rusty right now is meta magic and stats. Tho I do wanna start coming back because vitality sounds sick and I wanna use) Edit: yeah I’m afraid to say I broke my oath of never becoming a metal mage with 200 size

[@stereotypic_asian]

College student as well. And yeah i get what you mean by just not having time, something that can help with this is just having specific and good practice. Have a competent sparring partner and understand your kit/moveset better. A competent sparring partner will piece you up when you make a mistake and that will be how you find what youre doing wrong the quickest.

[@MalevolentCherry]

@@stereotypic_asian my problem is I don’t have a sparring partner and can really only go ask for fights or get people to jump me via high fame/bounty

[@stereotypic_asian]

Join archronos pvp server, theres pvp sessions held constantly there. Elysiums are constantly being open. I can say pretty much everyone there too is well skilled or even better at pvp than me. Just ask around and im sure someone will help you. Server link is in vids description.

[@Thomas_-bg8hi]

Step 1: consider fighting back when you’re getting hunted. Practicing in unideal situations generally yields more benefits than constantly being smothered by the “rules” in a fair fight. Even if they’re one of those guys that have 1.1k kills in 50 hours, allot of those kills just come from them either killing the same person over and over again during a practice (which gets them accustomed to the “rules” and is also why they’re usually incredibly petty when they lose) or from killing the average ravenna level 93 random. TLDR: more pvp can only be beneficial for your improvement. All right that was my ted talk see you guys next tuesday

[@Jeta_z]

I wouldn't really say its a tedtalk, its only 3-4 sentences

[@sim2769]

Not many rules in a friendly 1v1 tho... just not using potions isnt exactly an idealised version of fighting as most ppl wont make use of them even when hunting

[@DanielSilva-gc4xz]

Fighting in unideal situations will not necessarely help you any more than any other situation. What matter's is to learn while you fight, and that needs to be done consciously, otherwise It doesn't matter the situation you will not be learning anything.

[@NPC_exe]

I was just playing. He jumped me after a dark sea expedition CUS I WAS POOR. (was using a caravel) I couldn't kill him because I suck, but during our first fight I was on the upper hand and he ran away. Then he was generally an asshole.

[@Gamer_Oni927]

But it's funnier watching them cry when I hit them with love gels, ESPECIALLY when they don't know how to undo it

[@MonoEyedNutJob]

It's nice to see someone who's friendly about pvp, let alone someone who wants to help others get better at it.

[@stereotypic_asian]

Suprisingly too rare

[@alexwolfplush7523]

LITERALLY!! ive been trying to upgrade my build and im just over halfway through the video and there is SOOOOO much more to it than what i thought!!

[@indxcisiv_]

Not a good pvper by any standards (size crutch), but I met this dude and helped him with how to warrior and some mechanics... He absolutely devastated me within an hour. I don't know if I should be happy or feel bad about myself. Just to note, I would green him the first couple of rounds before I gave advice. Now I'm thinking buddy is an alt.

[@stereotypic_asian]

It is suprising how quickly people can learn pvp lol

[@moedred3901]

someone taught me how to warlock and thats the reason why im good at pvp'ing, i didnt friend him but i respect the man

[@Jeta_z]

Pvp in alot of different games are very similar, so when you realise this and how to implement previous skills your gains suddenly skyrocket

[@stereotypic_asian]

Agreed. Most of my skill for this game derived from Brawlhalla and R6S of all things

[@cryoteros]

This is a really nice breakdown of the basics because it also helps people understand what they might be good at based on the effective ranges and playstyles of the classes

[@jamclone]

When you mentioned the very small difference between pve and pvp players I lit up a bit. I have less than half player kills compared to my hours on all of my files since release, I've never grinded renown or really ever been considered a 'pvper' and yet i can kill people that I have no business killing. I always used to say that 'the only difference between pvpers and pve players is pvpers have a fragile ego.' and while this is a bit of a generalisation, I'd say it does hold some truth in that pvpers believe themselves to be superior when the skill gap isn't that great. I'll be sending this video around. The ao community needs to see this

[@thezestfall1st107]

Nah that totally holds true. Especially gankers who jump people just grinding stuff out or fishing. The moment you reveal you’re in a party who won’t just stand and let you get killed. Are the first to cry their heads off. It is a valid strategy to find a sub community to join and play with if you don’t have co fence in your skills, you should still work on them though

[@jamclone]

@@thezestfall1st107 A while back a group of like 4 of us stood against a couple gankers despite none of us being considered full-fledged pvpers and only really doing it for fun. One of us, in fact, has barely touched pvp and was an explosion paladin with an unfinished build. The gankers didn't kill any of us once, even the non pvper paladin. I heard that one of them started complaining in a discord chat afterwards, after we actually fought back. That battle was fun ill never forget it

[@stereotypic_asian]

Nah legit me and my friends got jumped by some guys, and then they complained that we were running size builds at the time 💀. Disrespectful gankers usually have the most fragilist of egos.

[@jamclone]

@@stereotypic_asian In that gank on us, one of em was complaining about two of us using instant 20 blast builds (we still are). It was so funny

[@ironsand09]

@@jamclone i have a similar story to yours, i was in a group of four as well doing some stuff when a person attacked us. none of us are pvper's, and yet once he realised what he got himself into he tried to run away but made a fatal mistake. he backed into a corner, and i was closest to him. i am a magma mage with ~180 power. and i am also using an ultimate art 20 blast. needless to say the rage afterwards was very fun to watch, and is one of my favorite memories of the game thus far.

[@RedSuitTaxi]

a good thing to remember is that counters are always stronger than throwing attacks.

[@Crimson_Mimicry]

I just learned so much and wasn't shamed for my lack of everything. I thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@Roseofthevines]

Probably the best pvp guide i’ve ever seen Just by using both magic and weapons as a conjurer instead of relying on just weapons, attacking less on the ground and going up close to attack I already beat my first pvp battle

[@TidaIize]

True I mostly got better by asking ppl to PvP and bounty hunting, just keep doing it and results will show eventually

[@dryleavesonfire]

YES, ive been saying this for so long. Hybrids tend to heavily rely on one aspect of their build and neglect the other, only using it when they have no other option. This isnt inherently a bad thing, but it will in no way match against a hybrid player who can use BOTH aspects well. A hybrids whole shtick is about being a mix. You cant out magic a mage, you cant out weapon a warrior, and you cant out strength a berserker. Your selling point is being able to tap into MULTIPLE styles of combat where others fall short. Also, its good to be creative with how you fight. Having an unorthodox playstyle would be funner than playing a recommended build that gets stale quickly. You can use sword draws and snares to dodge, you can use reflexes to hide an incoming attack (slightly makes the attacks start animation less noticable) etc. I also agree with your point about aiming. Sure, its a very important skill (essential if you want to be lb), but its ineffective if you dont have good TIMING/POSITIONING. Every move has a cost. Is it worth it? What are the chances of it landing, and what are the chances they are going to take advantage of your endlag and succeed? Id also recommend playing around with other classes, whether that be making alts or sparring different kinds of players. By learning the ins and outs of every move in ao, your situational awareness increases too.

[@stereotypic_asian]

100% agree with everything here. The only reason why i became knowledgeable on all methods of combat (and able to make this series) is because I have 9 saves with various methods of combat and playstyles. And because im so used to so many different classes, from both playing against and playing as, I always have a good fighting chance against anyone I play against.

[@littlecan7579]

I agree, a good amount of conjurers i meet tend to forget about their magic especially leap even though its a great way for you to not burn through your stamina too quickly

man it's people like you who rekindle my spark to keep playing arcane despite its unideal conditions (on my end, a very low-end pc and the lack to truly commit to a game for hours on end, and the community doesn't exactly do wonders for both of these given how toxic it can be) my mindset has switched to playing arcane solely for enjoyment--not following the meta and just finding solace in minor things that people normally wouldn't look too far into, like the scenery, getting immersed in the progression, trying to make my own stories for my files and yeah while that can combat my wants to actually play on a level alongside the majority that can actually DO things in the game with no relative difficulty, at the very least i'm not siphoning my life away purely for vassal, just taking my own pace yk? thanks for doing us all a service ^_^

A useful guide that doesnt only go in terms of mechaniqs but also mentality, AO is still far from optimized so keeping a good mind whilst playing instead of ranting problems can be a game changer into getting yourself in the flow of things during PvP and having good fundamentals of what you should use for your advantage.

[@Tanoranko]

as a decent ish pvper myself, this guide is good! Simple yet effective, i like your style 🔥 Though i do have one teeny nitpick Conjurers are split into conj and monj based on their playstles (weapon conj and magic conj respectively) Generally as a copnj you main your weapons and use magic purely for leap and or snare, because thanks to synergies, weapons are WAY more effective than magics at dmg output. Which is why most people play conj and not monj Cant wait to see the next part :3

Thanks for the praise. I actually wanted to ask, I was the leglord earlier asking about how you use explosion (the spell), I'm pretty mid with magics and I don't understand them very well.

[@boopygo3799]

I will be awaiting pt.2, just so I can send it to my defenseless friend

[@TBMVD]

Theres more than one reason why you should go in the air. Some attacks like beam or blast have an explosion that is larger than the attack itself. If you are in the air, they will have to hit you with the attack and not the explosion, making it harder for them to hit you. You also constantly move in the air, usually down due to gravity. After doing an attack, there might be some time standing still before you dodge. If you are on the ground that is esentially more time on top of the endlag. Do note however that I almost entirely PVE (and only play classes that have magic). This is just what I believe is the case.

[@stereotypic_asian]

You are absolutely correct, I abuse the hell out of explosion sizes constantly. (Even Piercing Shot has an explosion size). I cutted that part out to make digesting info better.

[@scouty1922]

I'm going to throw in my two cents here and speak from my experience - The strongest tool is punishing. All builds can do it, and almost all builds are vulnerable to it. Also, learn your opponent. I excel and punishing mistakes I know my friends will make, it's like another boss fight, but you need to keep thinking on your feet. They likey match you in strength and skill, so be creative and unpredictable. Lastly, movement. Not moving is often bad, but sometimes can bait out attacks (shift to dash while charging works so well). You also can't always be airborne, and if you use up all your movement, you can leave yourself wide open. Have mutliple midair options, ways to rapidly change elevation, and dash to evade when necessary, though using it to get it/out of the opponent's face or confuse them is effective. Also, Knights and defence builds- Get up close with any opponent with 1000 health or less. You can almost always trade hits and come out on top

[@canyousaymyname465]

1:02 what do you do when ur low health and u see a fury of the sea ❌run ✔walk inside it

Yep. Saving this for later. I made this choice as soon as I heard that breakcore. Hell yeah!!

[@CindersGD]

I think the main thing to remember about pvp is that this game is more build dependent than skill. Using something that's comfortable and practical is more useful than something that yields theoretical dps. Don't cave in to people complaining about your build because whatever you use, someone is going to talk smack about it. And yeah practice practice practice. My personal way of getting better was using an extremely hard build until I just got robotic aim, it's nice having a challenge to push yourself once you are familiar with the fundamentals.

[@MadacInWonderland]

na at the end of the day the game is the most skill dependent for example number 1 eu pvper inteqz can prolly beat over 80 percent of players on a simple mage with just blast and beam

[@stereotypic_asian]

Build dictates your playstyle often but it isnt the only or biggest factor. I usually take off quite a bit of my gear when training newbies and id still win no sweat. It will matter at higher levels of play to a large degree but not necessarillt for your average pvper/ganker

[@CindersGD]

@@MadacInWonderland ironically mage happens to be one of the most op classes rn, alongside blast and beam

[@CindersGD]

@@stereotypic_asian the significance in skill may be noticeable between someone used to pvp and someone who isn't, but most builds you see nowadays abuses a mechanic to some degree (whether it be size, damage, speed, or just overall ease of use)

[@MadacInWonderland]

@@CindersGD true i guess but the game is skill based at the end of the day a skilled person who can aim will beat someone with a better build. For example a size user loses to someone who knows how to aim

[@derekmiller673]

Different armor stats have different progressions. Some stats such as attack size and attack speed are more effective the more you have while other stats such as power and defense are less effective the more you have.

[@stereotypic_asian]

I wouldnt say that necessarilly. Power and def scale linearly, atk spd atk size, and agility have diminishing returns but feel more significant at high amounts.

[@jablesgamer1556]

Great video

[@BlueSoulGamer]

AO PvP is so one sided 9 times out of 10 unless you are at the very top of your game and have the best builds and experience to help fight back. That high skill ceiling coupled with the expectation of always having the best gear and abilities possible makes the whole idea of PvP in this game more frustrating than fun. Because of this fact, many players don’t realize how easy PvP is because the few times they try it’s an absolute landslide in the other player’s favor. They just convince themselves they aren’t good enough and never try again.

[@stereotypic_asian]

While I dont agree with needing the best builds to do well with PVP. I completely agree with the one sidedness and soul crushing feeling of never being able to compete with pvp. That was one of the reasons that made me start this series actually. The community for the game can be extremely toxic (both pve'rs and pvp'rs) and I hope by making this series, the gap in between them will lessen and somewhat ease toxicity. Having a constant cycle of hatred for a different type of player as well as constant shame and doubt in your own skill is probably one of the main reasons why AO was never able to fully flourish and reach a wider audience.

as a person who has been pvping since WoM, i noticed that your skill will depend on these three things your ability to dodge and movement your ability to use everything in your kit, with its max advantage and last but definitely not least, your ping :/ but for your ability to win fights, your build is very important

while the websites are indeed useful, having resources like them be on a website instead of in some form ingame could be considered bad game design, especially the wiki cause that just tells you the game doesn't give you enough information

[@stereotypic_asian]

I dont think its necessarilly the case for treasure chart finder and and ao gear builder. As it is still very possible to find charts and plan builds without them, they just make it more convenient and easier. But i 100% agree with the wiki part. Having to decide your class at the very start of the game and only receiving info about what youll awaken to at around 8-10 hours into the game right before you awaken is atrocious. And the only band aid fix is one free stat reset. Really poorly thought out.

[@gunk7014]

came for the guide, stayed for the amen breaks

[@grantbright3410]

I have a small quibble about the "stay off the ground" bit. Doing so is important, yes, but if you stay in the air TOO much, it can seriously impair your mobility, particularly if you haven't reached level 100 and/or missed the NPC at Whitesummit who will let you unlock the ability to dodge in midair. I have personal experience with this issue; when I first started with Arcane Odyssey, I was heavily reliant on hovering in a single spot in midair, which is admittedly a viable tactic in early-game PvE, before enemies begin using magic and the lack of a midair dodge becomes an issue. Then I ran into General Argos. It took me twenty consecutive deaths to that boss before I FINALLY realized that I NEEDED to stay ON the ground more to stay mobile enough to evade his attacks and prevent him from murdering me in a matter of seconds. The moral? Yes, jumping around and adding verticality to your movement is important for evasion, but you shouldn't do it to the point that you aren't touching the ground frequently enough to refresh your dodges and thus impairing your ability to evade attacks. You need to strike a balance between staying off the ground and touching it frequently enough that you stay mobile.

[@stereotypic_asian]

Yeah there is an important distinction between just staying off the ground and airstalling that I didnt mention in the video.

[@stereotypic_asian]

[@I-Stole-Your-Toast700]

I mean glad I have the "running the fuck away while attacking" part figured out I mean often times when I start getting ganked I just go high up into the sky (mobility/attack speed explosion paladin. Weird combo) and just rain down fury then run the fuck away and rinse and repeat

[@ThESHAPER.]

Recommendation for warriors: Atlantean cutlass has broken aoe, add dense and it’s really hard to dodge

[@mercifall]

i get way too intimidated when i get forced into a fight and start panicking all over the place-- using random moves not acknowledging my opponent due to the pressure and i dont know what 2 do ab it

[@stereotypic_asian]

Before when I got jumped by people, my hands would shake violently ngl and id panic too. There is somethings that you can do but unfortunately youll just have to train it out of your system for the most part. From what I can understand from what youre telling me, I beleive youre dealing with two issues which are panic and anxiousness. Panic that you cant process info, and anxious that you know you HAVE to do something but you dont know what. Itll be hard to do but try to first just simply information into digestible bits. First. Who is your opponent? Aoe or speed? Both? Stat build? Just having that little bit of information already tells you a lot on their playstyle, aims, and what moves they can or will do. Second. Where is your opponent? What are they doing at this moment? Keep in mind of their positioning and if their timing can allow them to do a move with little consequence. Third. Where is your position? Is the time right for you to do anything? If you have a good position and time window to do something, go for it. If youre not sure or not in a good case scenario, dont. You will have to make split second decisions and youre not going to be able to process everything in time and thats okay. You can always play patient and wait to strategize or find an opening. Dont force out an attack that youre not sure will help you at all. IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE. Refer to only these three pieces of info. Maybe in wars things might get more complciated than this but right now youre learning and simplicity is key. You can always learn more and do more once youre comfortable and trained to do so. Just work with the information you have at the moment and try to make the best possible judgement out of it. You will make mistakes and have bad judgement at times and thats fine, it still happens to me and ive learnt a lot over the past months. Practice irons out these mistakes overtime. Be patient with both your gameplay and yourself and you will see rewards gradually. Feel free to message more if you still have questions.

[@stereotypic_asian]

Follow up on my last comment. Once you get those 3 parts down. You can start incorporating resource management into gameplay. Health, energy, stamina, cooldowns, etc. But for right now just focus purely on being able to process info quickly and effeciently without panicking.

[@ShadeCattt]

i desperately needed this as a level 140 who died to a level 110 😭😭😭😭

[@DemonicRange]

honestly charts are really easy for me so i dont usually do that app thing, but i always grind charts on either max level or for early level up for lvl 20-80 since its free ''decent gear''

[@yippeefarts]

i feel like my biggest issue is just my timing is terrible. i know /when/ to block, but its usually after i use my weapon/magic, so i dont actually block at all. and also i think my nervousness makes me just forget where different keys are, or something like that. it's like 90% being nervous i think

[@stereotypic_asian]

Honestly. I did not think about that. This is a really good point that ill need to find a way around. When i first started pvping, especially when i get ganked, my hands would shake real badly, still happens a little now. Ill look into things that can help calm the player down 👍

[@iodduseri9476]

Also forgot to even say but waddling is a fast mfing learner like bro rocks all our asses😭 Bros created a monster

[@Syndicatian]

Most of the time I barely know where the enemy is.

[@stereotypic_asian]

Tracking is another skill needed for pvp. Still figuring out how i can teach it, but rn basically youre relying on audio cues and game sense on their movement.

[@axiom3570]

turn up your sfx sound to 200% and lower other sound settings to 0%. Now you can hear every single thing your enemy is doing even when you cant see them in particular dash, dodge and moves are really loud. Another tip ( only applies outside of munera/elysium pvp ) is to abuse one ways by hiding behind a rock or some terrain bc your camera angle can see them but they cant see you .Theres also revealing potions which is just straight up esp

[@xethrion4758]

I mostly overcharge my beams so I remain in the air for too long making me vulnerable to attacks so I learn to slightly charge my beams and attack at medium range. I use Auras (cuz I’m mage) to increase my speed of my attacks so I’m less vulnerable as well. I also practice blocking and parrying a bit more to negate damages done to me and lastly, I am trying to go my best not to be afraid to use surge since it helped me turn the tide in battles quickly as I’m able to deal out high damage without much aiming

[@VoidCraftGaming]

MAKE A PART TWO PLEASE!

[@griddycheese]

I quit AO when the updates were taking a while but now I feel like i can’t get back into it and catch up

[@stereotypic_asian]

I can see where youre coming from. For a few months, I would hop into AO by myself as I had no friends to play with and just run around ravenna opening chests and doing nothing in particular. I remained stagnant for a while, not doing much and not learning much. After certain events, I decided I needed to learn how to fend for myself and I spent about a month practicing just by myself with no one in particular to spar with. It took me about a monyh or two to be able to be competent at pvp to the point that any given gank (where I was hit first), I had a 50/50 chance of winning. The learning curve for the game is suprisingly low once you just understand how to make decent gear builds and some (not even all) of the fundamentals for the game. You learn and excel quickly if you have friends to spar with that are either equal or better than you. Now 6 months after initially becoming competent, I can say im somewhere in the upper echelon (but nowhere near AOSL levels still) of pvp without anyone needing to teach me nor hand hold me. Finding someone that can teach you makes the process a lot faster and Ive seen players I teach learn much faster than me and out grown me in terms of skill. Its just practice, thats all there is to it.

[@naoky8049]

This video apply's too with arcane reborn, cuz the combats are similar SOOO, ty :>

[@Pastajelly1388]

the air stalling part is similar to blox fruits pvp where if u sky camp u usually win bcz its harder for small hitbox moves to hit when ur target is in the sky especially when the moves dont have proximity trigger or grabs, and skycamping is so meta that if u use it u are considered a scumbag

[@stereotypic_asian]

Same thing here but to a much lesser degree. Aiming at someone above you is much harder than someone below you. Though it isnt considered nearly as scummy since theres too many different movement options that can shut down airstallers.
