IT FINALLY HAPPENED... (SWARM HARD MODE)

[@asraphel]

it was just last video that you learned to start prioritizing weapons and now you're back into upgrading stats, oh god

[@juansegundoshanahan6982]

Yeah I don't know what happened, how can someone make a game this easy so difficult ? Bro's learning curve is logaritmic

[@juliocolon7992]

Yea cringe he’s not upgrading weapons 😅

[@asraphel]

every time you pick a stat when uwu blaster is available I feel physical pain, uwu blaster is basically the top 1 single target dps and that is the whole point of bel'veth

[@kingboomi2395]

Hey boss! GGWP, Yas' tornado power fills up faster based on crits, not damage, that's why uwu blaster is so good, it shoots so fast that it crits all the time. I can't wait for this game to drop from PBE!

[@shodron9898]

THERE YOU GO! I was the one who told you Ability haste is attack speed. Very well done! Your first game build was Soo close from perfect, Yasuo has Synergy with projectile which train weapon is low on. I woulda switched it for blade o Rama or bunny crossbow and switched mines weapon for statik sword and you were god mode. On extreme aatrox you might need 2 defensive max hp and armor (hp regen is bad and it goes with vortex which is unreliable) but def get uwu blaster as a single target to get through bosses

[@danteb9653]

Great vid, "belivers eating good today!". P.S. Focus weapons with multiple critting projectiles when playing yassou, like UwU blaster, crossbow, the navory quickblades-looking one, boomerang and vortex glove. (So pick apropriet stats to those and force it)

[@CarnageUndone]

Keep up the great work iOki glad you are enjoying a new genre of gaming.

I liked the video before you even posed the challenge, and i stand by that like

You can click "hide completed" on the objectives, it makes them easier to find. Also, the book on the left of the objs, has special challenges that let you unlock more augments

[@OccamsLazer]

Couple of tips for the future, or other games like this: Upgrading your economy (In this case, Gold) should generally be one of the things you focus. It helps you unlock more upgrades faster, but has diminishing returns depending on how late you max it. Also, the upgrades you buy in-lobby increase your base stats, making the stats cards you get in-game scale harder. The reason you want to focus upgrading your weapons is both because they're so powerful, and because you need 5 weapon cards for 1 stat card. Passing up on even one of them can severely delay your power spikes. In the same vein, upgrading a weapon or stat to 5 takes it out of the pool, meaning you can reduce the amount of options you're possibly shown whenever you get a new card. If you're given a bunch of options, and you don't have a preference for one based on power, then pick the one closer to level 5 so you can get it out of the pool quicker. Lastly, I would love to see some Extreme Swarm gameplay, and also for you play some Hades 2. Not exactly the same genre, but close enough, and it's such a good game.

[@i0kiPlus]

Thanks for the tips -- when this drops on live servers I'll definitely be maxing gold first. I think I might do a 12 hour Swarm stream! Also I totally forgot Hades 2 came out, Supergiant games is so GOAT'd

[@asraphel]

you weren't bugged in the end, you had to kill the pillar

[@Xenolis]

For other bullet heaven games, my suggestions are Vampire survivors (This is just considered the definitive experience) Halls of Torment (heavily diablo inspired) Soulstone Survivors (Really in-depth skill trees and stuff) Brotato (something very different. a game where you battle waves in an arena and buy upgrades between waves, so less map stuff, but it fits) Enter The Gungeon (This is stretching the definition even further, but i feel like it's worth mentioning, as it's a roguelike somewhere between bullet hell and bullet heaven)

[@Krfification101]

BTW, in the objective dropdown, you can tick the box in the upper right-hand corner to hide the ones you've already completed. That would have made it a lot easier to find the anima power objective, since you'd already completed most of them.

[@shaedel]

If you're curious of other similar games... Death Must Die on Steam has been my personal favorite. You'll get slight Hades feel as well with different gods giving you the bonuses.

[@benign_oracle8875]

I do appreciate that even with the out of game upgrades maxed out, they made so no matter what your defenses are low that you can get two shotted, even though your dps goes extremely high, you are still challenged to dodge and be evasive.

[@asraphel]

the reason you should leave cards on the ground isn't only to have the upgrade ready when you max out a weapon but also because there is a limited amount of cards you can get before the boss so having them at ready to guarantee the evolution is objectively the best decision if you can handle the waves without a random upgrade

[@benferrell-tillman5095]

You got his my guy! You’ve progressed so far!

[@i0kiPlus]

AND WE AINT DONE YET!!

[@b.jacobtomko6794]

Would love to see some i0ki playing Hades. Awesome job on this one.

[@eliman5]

Every Halo player: shoots the ai marine companions iOki: I love the marines, I'd always try to keep them alive it was so cool

[@Krfification101]

He and I are alike. I always do my best to keep the marines alive, in part because the survival of the squad is one of the responsibilities of the officer in command. In the field, that's the Master Chief.

[@calebshaw5647]

Did you just quote Chumbawumba and crash bandicoot at me in one video?

[@scottgraham7064]

Xayah seems OP to me. Good luck unlocking her and enjoying her mechanically

[@i0kiPlus]

Stay tuned ;)

[@chargestone96]

Shes not, she struggles like the other glass cannons jinx and auroura No character is unplayable though and once your far enough in you can solo with any character

[@scottgraham7064]

I definitely think her ultimate mobility is a better option than the speed ups jinx gets. I also played her after unlocking most things. So its tough to do a 1 to 1 comparison with starting with jinx.​@@chargestone96

[@zbeater4656]

Holy crap. Ioki is learning. Thank you for having adaptability and having higher than Antarctica temp iq. Not a insult btw. Oh yeah dont be so scared of belveth missions. You need them to unlock champs and in extreme its impossible to win without them

[@shirokku3279]

WE EATING GOOD! Of course we wanna see you play Extreme. What was all this build-up and improvement for otherwise? :D

[@i0kiPlus]

You're right. We're in the endgame now. STAY TUNED!

[@Krfification101]

We still gotta see him succeed at solo runs with every champ!

[@jlayman89]

Its so fun to watch a progression on this. Im that breed that's great at figuring out games early on, then other people just rocket past once more people get there. So i cracked this code early on. Was able to solo extreme aatrox with yas with maxed upgrades besides anima and 2 levels of anima. Was still hard, but you can get such high damage levels you can just wall off the damaging swords that shoot across and kill him before it ends. Yasuo will be the easiest path to finishing hard and then all thd extreme levels. Once you get a feel, leona is the 2nd easiest to solo aatrox on extreme, and well... gl with the rest. I just found out about a stupid issue with p2 aatrox and you can cheese it, but thats no fun. Edit: the reason yasuo is so op is because crits grant 4 flow, which is basically his mana here (ui might be bugged since it starts white), so each crit, when theres just a fuck load of crits adds up to spamming his whirlwinds several times a second. Melts everything. So more crits is more power exponentially on yasuo. Also. Yasuo does have a very odd hump in the mid game where he almost doesnt clear well before he snowballs, that cns be rough so dont fret if you lose with the "OP" champ. Just go for uwu > boomerang > bunnyarrow thing > then anything that crits. More projectiles that crit the better. Vortex can be ok, but its unreliable for a boss which is the part that matters. Then get crit > haste > movespeed > damage > projectiles > health. Health is always a good filler. And armor. Avoiding 1 shots is good for safety Also, just in general, uwu is op. Always grab it. Haste is always a good upgrade and and the persistent dps clears individuals which gives xp. They all have aoe to start, so finishing off low hp stuff is huge. Also, OwO shreds bosses and its vital on all of them for it to be easier. Lol... and you found the "cheese" by accident, Lol. Congrats on winning it. The swords have a max area the shoot through and i dont think its intended for us to be sble to dodge them by leaving the area.

[@idoisaac6602]

Seeing Ioki pick cards causes me physical pain, picking passive upgrades over weapon upgrades, picking upgrades over new. have you learned nothing?! It is always: New Passives -> New Weapons -> Weapons you can Evolve -> Passives -> Other Weapons. new stuff first to fill the slots, you will always be offered upgrades to stuff you have, but you might not see new items again. new passives first because passives upgrade multiple weapons, you have more chances to find "the right thing". upgrade weapons before passives because you need level 5 weapons to evolve but not level 5 passives. upgrade passives over weapons you can't evolve because passives affect every weapon, they are worse than evolutions but better than regular weapons.

[@Temponal]

cant wait for the next video :D hope u play more and put out more of this content its awesome !

[@scaryme3979]

I believe you have to do 20 Belveth quests to get Xayah. 20 or 25. But xayah is insane.!

[@gorriebyte2936]

I believe! Once you max crit and projectile and cd out of game, extreme difficulty becomes almost too easy. You just need to try to get the items that have the most projectile/ atk speed. Uwu, glove, and xayah blades and your screen will be just a blue mass of color from the nadoes. the frequency of tornadoes depends on crits which all those items can crit and hit many enemies at once. Also just in case cd reduces the time between attacks. More you upgrade cd the faster your ability comes back but also the faster you attack with tornadoes and items.

[@levinium]

The moment you get upgraded tornados it's just GG on yasuo .. abil is too OP

[@nicholasbruce2076]

Uwu blaster is the best item for yasuo.

[@asraphel]

also, yasuo's weapon changes faster when you crit, it's not all damage done the boomerang weapon is one of the best on him because when it evolves the projectiles separate into smaller ones that can also crit and charge his tornados faster

[@benistcreative]

Actually built different, definitely get the max gold upgrade now so you don't have to grind too much farming for the anima upgrade

[@asraphel]

I want to see you grind to beat extreme, you'll need a lot of anima power upgrades and to get actual optimal builds but the character development will be worth it

[@asraphel]

and to not ignore your question because that's rude: I'm down to watch you play more variety games since I'm watching for you specifically, the game is secondary at this point

[@mpage1908]

Let 5 cards sit. pick up the rest but always have enough to evolve your weapons. the first few cards you dont need to stay strong but what you do need is 5 evolves if you want to have a proper chance at anything harder than medium. (i know it says hard mode but its the middle difficulty)

[@clairification7206]

IIRC, the wisdom these days seems to be slam 5 weapons ASAP, then focus on getting the stats that support them. Especially short range champs like Yas.

[@kameron1130]

Short range?...

[@kylethibodeaux322]
