I wouldn't leave cards on the table before around 8 minutes, and never leave more cards than you have remaining upgrades

[@xxarimus]

This!

[@jlayman89]

If you're doing fine, leave them. Yuumi quests can give upgrades based on the number of cards picked up so if there's no significant benefit to grsbbing them, hold off. If youre struggling to clear before 8 or 9, grab them. Once you get the final yuumi thing done, go gather them until you only have as many leftover as there are weapons that need evolved. That's the general rule I follow.

[@michealstout4619]

You need to kill the Rek'sai tunnel. It will stop her from tossing out the sharks and you can more effectively kite/dps her.

[@mirzu42]

Just take glass cannon every time. You are making it so hard for yourself by making sure you survive one extra hit rather than deal more damage so that you dont even get hit in the first place.

[@peedddro23]

He always pick trash augments 🙄🙄🙄

[@JesseOrey]

It hurts my soul when I see him not choosing glass cannon

[@jeremyk7113]

i never really comment or like videos but i actually enjoyed watching you! keep it up :)

[@thefacts10183]

I literally watch this as soon as it’s up

[@mirzu42]

Blue cards can only upgrade existing stuff not give you new things. Also you should pick cards early game and after 12 min (when the game spawns 4 bosses at the same time) only pick up for evolution. Also if u have more cards than evolvable weapons pick the spare ones up.

[@shirouarima708]

me and my friend learnt so much from your videos. I can see we will have great time with this swarm thanks to you.

[@i0kiPlus]

Dude awesome! Love to hear this, it's been a huge learning experience for me so glad to hear others are learnign too!

[@benistcreative]

you can pick up cards before 10 minutes for the most part, ofc if you have a weapon at level 4 you might as well try to get the upgrade first. what I have also found was that with enough weapons/haste toggling the auto attack to attack on it's own is much more relaxing than the perma aiming, just gotta toggle the aiming back on for bosses/bombs

[@murilowsful]

You need wuw blaster but i didn't saw even once during your xayah run

[@jonansayo2123]

This guy too funny 😂😂😂

[@thwago]

Greatest swarm alive

[@eduardothomazl]

Hello GSA! I'm just catched up with your conntent on Swarm, very fun to watch! I have some tips for you suffer less trying to clear the game. First one, DPS is as important as survivability, because if your DPS is too low, no ammount of defens and HP and regeneration will keep you alive, like when you saw when facing Bel'Veth before. I always take at least one of Yummy's upgrade that exchange max health for damage, when I'm playing with ranged champs. Synergy is very important too, some weapons aren't good together and either because the weapon is good in one champion it will not means it will be good in other. But most mistakes you made aren't your fault, because some stupid comments made you believe that some bad weapons and passive skills were good. For example, "Static Sword is OP, always pick it". When actualy, Static Sword is a garbage weapon. It only seems good in normal mode, but when you go to hard and extreme modes, you see how little damage it does. "Projectile Count is OP, always pick it even for champions that aren't ranged". This is other passive skills that is garbage. It only "seems very good" when you just started playing and don't have upgrades. But even then, if you think a little, you will start too see that isn't good. Most strong skills, Like the Bunny Crossbow, shots an absurd amount of projectiles per wave. What a waste of evolution cards, to waste 5 cards for only 3 more projectiles in a skill that already shots more than 40 every time.

[@xyph3r]

i can confirm anima power does indeed go to level 100

[@ownall15]

The longer reksai is in tunnel phase the faster she moves and the more sharks she shoots. It's a soft enrage mechanic. YOU HAVE TO KILL THE TUNNEL. That phases reksai into her above ground mode.

[@fasterpet]

definitely think you should do a Solo-Swarm series to show how you figure out what build works best on each character to beat endgame content.

[@sean24stevo]

Still waiting on that 10 hour swarm video ioki

[@simioncristian2891]

i didnt play this mode yet, but to me on the 3th run i think u needed the long range weapons, the bots and bunny gun are damage locally and i think u as adc u need to keep distance, btw, enjoyable content, thank you very much :)

[@murilowsful]

I'm kinda addicted to swarm and i didn't even got to play it

[@jakeazfitness]

I love these videos:) So excited to play this mode!

[@RJFlute]

i0ki, a familiar is a pet/creature that shares a magical bond with the owner, common in the fantasy genre

[@morrigan3957]

If you hover over the spells in gray color at the bottom they tell you what other passives work for that spell to make it even stronger.

[@ToterBagel]

Hey Ioki, I guess multi evolving your wepons could be great. For example, if u want to go pickup radius, to evolve your fether, you should go yuumi too because both will evolve from one perk. With that strat you could go full evolve with only three, or four perks, so you are able to take more perks that you want but dont need. Love your videos❤

[@jlayman89]

Xayah is like if you made jinx better early, but worse later. Xayahs abilities are better, but late game damage is just king and jinx does a lot more.

[@sweetcider9643]

The most optimal number of card you leave is 5

[@BurnDem101]

I like to pick my abilities based on what stats I'm going for. For example, Xayah wants pick up range so going yuumi is good because you can evolve both with one stat. You can hover her auto to see it scales with crit and ability haste too. So going any crit and ab haste scaling abilities will let you evolve with just two more stats. Then you have filler stats. I think max level is 41 if you have all synced stats and abilities

[@gundegavjakse174]

Can't wait for when swarm content changes into challenge mode (like, beating stuff with no ranged weapons etc.). Right now it's still all about understanding how the game is supposed to be played, and that's lovely, but, yeah, build that challenge map awereness or how good a player is with timing their abilities... It's gonna get wild! 🤔✨

[@MrLintonbrandon]

Now that you’ve unlocked more characters and upgrades, will you go back and try Aurora again? I think if she has multiple projectiles she might be better than last time! Still enjoying every one of these videos i0ki ❤ Thank youuuuu

[@nicomir5997]

gg

[@nicholasbruce2076]

Shouldn’t you focus the center hole when fighting reksai. She takes reduced damage while she’s. Tunneling

[@superokula]

Whenever you R with illaoi your E goes on a reduced cooldown so try to spam it

[@mahmoudkhalaf3244]

"Son Of a Gun"

[@TheGrassay]

With the squishy champs you need to go almost full glass cannon on extreme. It is pretty much impossible not to get hit by the bosses and you just need to have a dps race with them. So try focusing almost full damage stats (crit, damage, ability haste). You want some aoe weapons to get through the rounds but you also need good single target like uwu blaster for bosses. And also trading in max health for more damage from yumi quest augments can be very helpful.

[@jordanlicht1601]

If u get both guns they're solid together single target plus cc from double bunny guns, the Xbow too tier for mob clear with projectiles+crit

[@idoisaac6602]

Don't waste rerolls, you skipped damage, projectile count and duration just to get pickup radius earlier. Then you get stuck with things you don't want. ONLY reroll when you get 3 unwanted options, or you've already filled up all your item slots and don't have to worry about unwanted items anymore.

[@smokingbacon]

Leaving cards on the ground is ok but you want to make sure you only leave enough cards to evolve. every other card after that should be picked up. also unless you get alot of upgrades into an items early you should pick up the first few cards

[@Shatsbeard]

And consider picking up exp boost for early.

[@furiousfiregaming]

Love the vid

[@FelipeRodrigues-yo1el]

I hope you'll try leona sometime soon cause if u manage to get some dps weapons upgrade shes THE best tank to fight the final bosses

[@jlayman89]

26:20 turn on auto aim during darkness. Helps some to tell where the closest enemy is via indicator.

[@jlayman89]

16:31 Cards only level up existing stats/weapons. They wont grant anything new. So using thrm to find pickup radius wont work.

[@haydenhenderson19]

For the ball of yarn, if you're clearing enemies instantly, just push it into a wall, it'll stack and then fall on you and bounce back into the wall, giving you 5 each time. You can complete it in around 38 seconds with this method, if you kill the enemies too fast to stack on them.

[@haydenhenderson19]

Projectile count, Crit, Damage, Ability Haste, uwu blaster, that should be go to on any character in any run. The other weapons and stats are kinda whatever you're feeling and your playstyle, but that setup will give you the boss damage you need 90% of the time.

[@haydenhenderson19]

p.s. On the topic of cards, and for reference I've cleared extreme aatrox on every champion using this strategy , here's a breakdown on the average number of cards you can get per run: elite unit every ~2.5 minutes (5), mini boss ~8 per run, bel'veth trial up to 3 per run, so that's up to 16 cards and you need 5 for all weapons to evolve. The fewer unlocks you have, the better your odds are of getting a favorable upgrade with cards. If you have 3 weapons unlocked and 1 stat, pick up cards, 75% chance to level your weapons, if you get a weapon lvl 4, then save a card, but trying to leave 10+ upgrades on the table the entire game is just putting yourself at a disadvantage. The more mobs you can clear the more gold you'll get, the easier it'll be to survive, and the more xp you'll get. Don't save the first 5 cards. After that, only save them when it makes sense. I usually leave 1-2 on the field after 5+ minutes but I use the rest right away.

[@Roudo93]

how do i unlock the anima power? i have no idea

[@spiketownmen]

why do you want to leave cards on the floor?

[@TracyLayden]

YESSS wp!!

[@zbeater4656]

I mean we are a pretty s tier conscience if thats what you hear. Never grab lioness lament its absolutely the worst weapon when it comes to damage or wave clear.

[@i0kiPlus]

Thank you Jiminy

[@jordanlicht1601]

I'd have to agree it's very bad, I think I only like it for very niche use​@@i0kiPlus

[@eastongsa2426]

iOki I usally don't make bad commentary under your videos but when you play Xayah, you search for pibk up radius AND the Yuumi weapon, she scale with pick up radiaus too and its OP cause she take the EXP for you ^^

[@nicholasbruce2076]

And do that first yuumi quest asap.

[@ignaciomeroni5338]

Cards won't give new augments

[@user-wu7ew8yb3w]

Don't leave so many cards on the map, you're losing so much damage. With one or two is more than enough for when you need to upgrade, which is towards lategame. In early just pick up whatever you come across.

[@daniell91]

Whoever said to leave the cards on the table did I0ki a huge disservice. The comments are now filled with "pick up the cards before X time." Etc, etc. Honestly, it's frustrating to see the cards left on the table at all. So I get I0ki's feelings behind leaving them on the ground.

[@FelipeRodrigues-yo1el]

U need to build weapons thinking if you character is a multi target focused or single target one to balance the dps between this two, besides yasuo is the best champion if u get his weapon upgrade soon enough

[@ticonderoga5121]

Id watch a twelve hour stream to see how far you can get, if its on a weekend

[@jordanlicht1601]

Extreme just increases hps and damage idk about different mobs. U cannot afford to lose any hps to Yumi quests. And more gold equals more passives

[@mirzu42]

Movement speed on illaoi is like building ap on senna. Like seriously. Think before you do something. Your champ wants to sit still in the middle of tentacles. You get the best augment you could possibly get. 40% more damage meaning nothing will ever touch you. If you max duration and haste you will have permanent ult up. I get what you are saying about playing with the cards you are given but you pick the worst possible cards in a given situation usually. Damage is the only thing that will help you with the bosses. The less you have to dodge the easier the game is.

[@jlayman89]

Ok, I'm just watching you use 3 RR right at the start of a game... you need a flowchart or priority list. You lost the boss fight when you did that, not when you died in the fight. On hard or story anything goes, especially with the stste of your permanent upgrades, but on extreme it begins to matter and especially extreme aatrox is hard on most champs even with a lot of levels in the anima. Start the game with an idea of what weapons you want. UwU is always a priority, at least in the beta (unironically a large part of what made the illioa run easy was that and people havent seemed to notice this. A significantportion of the damage was uwu at the boss). So always grab it, few exceptions, but you'll notice what they are when extrme mode clicks. Youll want to have like 3 or 4 weapons that are must takes and about 3 that are solid options with synergy with the first set. Usually the 2nd set should share stat upgrades with the first set. When you get a level, here is a priority list: 1. A weapon on the first list. You dont have. 2. A stat that upgrades the first list you dont have. 3. A weapon on the 2nd list you dont have so long as its not preventing the first list, if so use RR. 4. A stat for the 2nd list you dont have, so long as it wont prevent evolution of the first list, if it would then RR. 5. A weapon on the first list you do have to lvl up. 6. A wepon on the 2nd list you have to lvl up. 7. A stat on the first list you have. 8. Stat on the 2nd list you have. 9. If none of the above are options, RR. 10. If out of RR, take a generic good stat, damage, haste, health, movespeed, crit, armor. Or take a crap weapon, but odds are good on extreme aatrox that this might result in a death at the boss. Very rarely with this list will you get into a bind where youre forced to take something that doesnt work. The kiracle run is tou finish list 1 and 2 in both weapons and stats and youve got level 1 in all of them by like level 15. Then you're free to just focus on mechanics. Do Yuumi and Bel'veth asap. I auspect they have a timer that starts when they finish until they next and this can allow you plenty of time to do the final ones. Obviously, dont die for them, but you seem to get that so thats good. It is better to fail a challenge than the run, but always try to asap. Leave all cards unless youre struggling. Theres yuumi quests that give bonuses based on the cards you take, so its a potential insane upside for whats posisbly no downside if youre getting good wepaons from levels. At minimum you can take cards up to about 8-9 min and then leave as many as you have weapons that need evolved, but its always best to leave them if possible.

[@mirzu42]

In thw rek’sai fight you stand way too far from her. You have to kill that thingy she spawns to stop the sharks. Ur so far away you are not doing any damage to her. Also notice how much you struggled with the final swarms? Thats why you go full damage and sacrifise all health.

[@mirzu42]

With the tank you can kill bosses easily. Just stay on top of them and its perma damage. Projectile count is def not op lol. Its good on yasuo and seraphine. Thats it. Also you might want to give leona another go. Its stupid op in extreme. Just build damage and haste. You are practically guaranteed to get that every game and you will always have your shield up. Even extreme level aatrox cant one shot your shield with a single ability. If you build tanky tho its quite shit. The whole point of leona is that the E shield is so good you dont need anything else.

[@okeson9301]

I feel like you are wasting rerolls early. Normally there is something you want in each pick, it might not be the #1 thing but it’s better to have a reroll available later when it forces you to get something you don’t want. Also damage beats everything, who cares how your health looks. You basically get 1 shot regardless, but dead things don’t hurt you (still the best form of CC).

[@zaumarian2949]

Ioki stop controlling the direction of aim, you should be using the control when needed for targetting a boss or something bigger

[@andreimitran4994]

You should prioritize xp from start. Also, don't leave cards behind in extreme. Best weapons are uwu blaster for single target dmg and then bunny crossbow/statik. The rest is up to you and the character you are playing. Keep it up. Great content!

lament, tibbers, ice armor, floating gun things, poison boots, all absolutely trash evolved, though ice armor is good to pick up and not evolve because its a get out of jail free card every like 7 seconds.

[@chargestone96]

eh id say xayahs one of the weaker characters, she suffers from the same basic issues that auroura and jinx do, the lack of real need for a glass cannon id say S: Yasuo A: Illaoi, Leona B: Seraphine C: Briar, Riven D: Xayah, Auroura E: Jinx that said you can solo with any character as they are all fairly well balanced bar yasuo

[@mirzu42]

Jinx is S tier. Yasuo is only rng based. Jinx is almost full skill as you can go alot of things

[@haydenhenderson19]

Xayah is absolutely one of the most insane characters in the game, killed aatrox on extreme before he could even finish his 3rd q combo. S: Yasuo, Xayah A: Briar, Jinx, Illaoi B: Leona, Seraphine, Riven C: Auroura Your tier list makes sense if you don't factor in player movement at all ig.

[@chargestone96]

@@haydenhenderson19 xayah has the most potential but that potential is kinda pointless as once you get past a certain point its all the same either way, her floor being much lower due to less defensive options ends up being much more impactful then her ceiling being higher, she becomes better if they added another harder difficulty after extreme but with what we have now i dont think her extra dps is an impactful tradeoff
