Jang Sao & Season 6 Tier List & Overview - Idle Champions

[@heykak]

important to note, hunting partners can be spread through valentine, thereby allowing you to gain more than six stacks of know your enemy per kill.

[@tyredack]

A good note!

[@sgising2]

Hunter's Pack is all over the place for me. In an adventure right be and I've got Valentine but she's not spreading Hunter's Pack. Without Valentine, and with only 5 people surrounding Zorbu I'm getting 7 stacks per kill.

[@dfaf3rqfdsa]

Isn't know your enemy stack only counting zorbu's kill? I'm kinda confused about what hunter's pack has to do with zorbu's stack

Literally shook at the quality of video. Thank you Tyredack, very cool! I like you, and I want you

[@Ar4tic_Blizzard1626]

jang sao just randomly ended up being almost perfect for my current team, which met 9/10 for her dex ability, without any changes at all. also it seems the dex focused season characters works well with the unaffiliated season which is nice

[@tyredack]

Perfect! For those she does work with, she an amazing buffer! She'll be one you want to focus for sure.

[@Ar4tic_Blizzard1626]

yeah but farming stars seems like it will take a while do you know anywhere that may be good for farming them? i've seen that ToA spirit of the trickster gods variation of lost love seems good for lots of enemies?

[@tyredack]

It will, for sure, and that is a great place to do it. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight Tall Tales' variant "An Unecpected Geist" is also great, only undead, though. If you're farming for Stars you might as well work on Zorbu's Know Your Enemy as well! And maybe even Torogar stacks if you care about that.

[@CassFenrir]

I havent played in a year and I still watch your vids first chance I get. Flawless work as ever.

[@tyredack]

That's actually a very large compliment, I appreciate that!

[@legendmaker694]

Great review as usual, thanks man! By the way, I hope you're well and sorry for my lack of comments on the past few vids. I'm still watching, subscribed and I give you a thumbs up every time, but I didn't have much to share. I've been playing a lot more casually after my break a few months ago. The game has become a bit too demanding for me with permanent Seasons and all the different event types and life (and other games) got in the way. Now that they've removed the daily quests from seasons, it should be a little more relaxed. I'm right with you about the reworks, especially for our boy Nrakk. I'm actually glad they removed the DPS tag (because I don't partake in the Artemis shenanigans; which let's be honest is the only reason you can see his DPS tag removal as a loss ^^). That's the only difference, though. Just like you, I'm glad they gave him a reasonably cohesive and efficient kit that fits one clearly defined role, which should always have been Support (Gaar used him as main DPS at some point, but that's on the same level of self-imposed challenge slash flexing as Emmote playing with the full Oxventurers team or other quirky stuff; it's never been viable for people with limited resources). But obviously I'm also massively disappointed that they removed what made him unique and worth reworking to begin with: his ability to supercharge ANY formation ability, instead of just PFAs like everyone else and their cousin. V_v He's pretty much useless for Krond, Ash and probably not even worth running in my own quirky JaJa team (Jarlaxle/Jaheira) anymore either. He might still be good for Zorbu though, probably even better than before. Just playing the Season 6 quests pushes me to run a team with all 5 of them and 5 other 16+ DEX champs for the next couple of months, so I'll get to evaluate and fine-tune that. Zorbu himself may have gotten unnecessary name changes here and there, but he's otherwise been both buffed and simplified a fair bit, imho. Having Drows and Humanoids when one is just a subset of the other always felt wrong and was pretty annoying, and ever since they tweaked him to have his lifelong enemies count as favored foes the fact that it required a bad specialization choice was very annoying too. Now he has 4 actually separate FFs by default, all of which can still stack like crazy and they even transferred our existing Drow stack to the new Aberration one. Plus, his new right spec seems like the better choice all of the time now, both for stacking and for pushing. I might seriously reconsider him as (one of) my main DPS. Apart from that I already liked both Sissaspia and Warden for Krond and I was using them fairly often with him. Now that they both received significant buffs without losing anything Krond cares for, they'll be even more viable options. Even though, Krond took a hit with the loss of the old Nrakk's single ability. I'm not impressed by the latest new champ, at least I don't see a spot for her in any of my formations yet. Out of the other recent ones since I last commented on one of your reviews.... Astarion is awesome for my JaJa team, basically a "goldfind on the go" Bruiser/Rogue team, so I can boost favor quickly from scratch in most places (ofc even that struggles a fair bit with the latest campaign and its super nerfed goldfind slash favor, but what doesn't ^^). Certainty is pretty good too, but what the hell is their deal putting almost every Half-Elf in Seat 5? I've used her a lot at the end of Season 5, but now I don't think she'll see any play from me anytime soon. I mean she shares a seat with Evandra, Calliope, Valentine... not to mention Briv. Tellora and Lae'zel are both okay, but similarly I don't really have a team they fit in and they're not worth building around either. So the last truly amazing addition to date is still Vin Ursa as far as I'm concerned: amazing with JaJa, amazing with Krond, just amazing in general I think. In any case, have a hell of a time out there, champion!

[@tyredack]

Don't ever feel like you need to go out of your way to leave a comment if you're busy, but make no mistake I appreciate it when you do! I just wish with Nrakk we didn't lose both his DPS tag *and* his other unique utility, losing them both in one blow is unfortunate. He should still perform for Ash, though, as plenty of great buffing Exotics out there work with to pair with him, and Nrakk's own buff is pretty damn good if you're willing to get that 60 Ki. But, yeah, Krond's a no go. I think Sisaspia, Korth, and Warden are all in a good place and deserved a Seasonal spot, but Zorbu just didn't make sense this time around for me personally. Even with their criteria (Unaffiliated high DEX oldschool Champs) we could have seen actual reworks of Stoki, Ishi, or Black Viper instead of just very light Zorbu tinkering. Oh well. Jang Sao is an interesting one to me, because she has the potential to be really good for a few potential formations... but with that availability and being in the same spot as new Nrakk... I don't know, just strange.

[@legendmaker694]

@@tyredack I appreciate your appreciation! ^^ By the way, thanks a LOT for the quick and dirty trick to max out Ki stacks early on in a run. I hadn't thought about that yet and I'm pretty bad with QTE stuff to boot. Just letting him sit in an area for awhile with a familiar on his ult and at the exact level where he gains Ki stacks but can't spend them should be enough for me. Definitely much better than the Max 23 or something I get by just letting a run roll.

[@toomad2309]

Concise, bookmarks, and you didn't blast music. I love it.

[@tyredack]

[@declanm810]

On Dev Insights, Justin said he overlooked the fact that Gith Focus previously had level upgrades that increased it to 375% over the base 50% it used to have, and that the new 200% was scaled vs the 50. Hopefully that means we’ll see those numbers changed slightly, but I’m not holding my breath that it will be soon

[@tyredack]

It would be nice, but them intentionally removing the Selise + Nrakk synergy seems likely.

[@tyredack]

This is a genuine fact.

[@Raxele]

Thanks. Good thing all the Drow stacks got converted to Aberration stacks.

[@tyredack]

For sure, if it's going to change, best we get to keep what we already farmed.

[@ZenciVer2]

I was happy to see Korth receiving a buff. He was one of my first champs, so he has a special place in my heart. But sadly he shares a seat with Blooshi and he doesn't seem to fit in too well into my current Arti group. Too bad you didn't say something like: "And yes, that means champ x does buff Artemis!", since I was really waiting for it :) (You said that in your last few videos!). Other than that, great video as always. PS you might wanna be careful. Seems like death is out to get you.

[@tyredack]

I always loved Korth too honestly. What I did fail to mention with Korth that is another bonus for him, is that his Dexterity 16+ buff can force those who otherwise could not be buffed by Nrakk's new Githzerai Agility Dexterity scaling to become viable for it. So, you could make the positionals from say, Omin and Evelyn, qualify for that scaling.

[@emmote77]

Yeah - I agree with Jang Sao's tier. She's good and can be a true powerhouse with effort since we're fairly sure her first specialisation choice and slot 5 item are prestack - but yeah... her availability is among the worst in the game. That said - she found her way into my Vin Ursa dps meme team that's 100% ranged for Solaak. She replaced Hew Maan and actually my Trials availability for the team improved because she can be used in Wisdom while Hew can't. And her numbers are so much better. I've already farmed up to e6 stars and she was pulling e36 numbers with 1k average and full shiny. So she's stronk.

[@tyredack]

Very Stronk indeed! It is nice we're getting more ranged viability, I just wish she wasn't so damn restrictive. What spawned the desire for the Vin Ursa meme team? Just love the character?

[@emmote77]

Mostly it came from reaching 60x20 legendaries on my Oxventure team and having spare scales burning a hole in my inventory. Vin Ursa came out around that time and I like her a lot (her Astral skin is very pretty) and she's a got a cool design (Space cowboy bounty hunter jellyfish!). I was annoyed that she wasn't made a dps though - so I decided I'd put legendaries on her and make her a dps anyway. Then since she's ranged I thought I'd make the formation around Solaak and use 100% ranged champions for added meme. Formation is Vin Ursa as dps / Deekin / Solaak / Krux / Viconia / Shandie / Jang Sao / Astarion / Imoen / Zorbu. It's doing a lot better than I ever imagined. Krux / Jang Sao / Astarion and Vin Ursa herself are basically carrying the others. I recently hit e533 BUD in trials with all legendaries around level 6-7 (and that's with 6 of them still not applicable to VU yet). (It also helps that the entire team is 15+ dexterity now and so that's 10 stacks for the Dexterous core.)

[@tyredack]

I really do love Vin's design as well. When I first saw her, I really thought she was going to be a DPS. I do like that the ranged are getting more ironed out to allow Solaak to come online. I do wish we'd get a dope new interesting ranged DPS, though.

[@emmote77]

Yeap. They could have made Vin Ursa a dps and with Krux around the same time they could have DOUBLED! the number of ranged dps. But no. We're stuck with 3 innate ranged dps champions.

[@caimhighwind5530]

Nice I always used Nrakk with Merilwen and Omin for gold fid buff but in a way now I can just use another gold champ or any other champ Excellent video this is my go to and helps understand what champions I can use That Tier list at F is looking emptier but with Walnut and Rosie being so good at being very meh I hope to all the gods in D &D they get a really good rework as they need it more Rosie then Walnut. I think Walnut just needs a better tanking HP and Rosie needs a bigger stick to hit thimgs XD

[@tyredack]

Appreciate it, and glad to help! One of my biggest problems with Walnut as well is that she 100% requires a kill to be of any use to the formation at all, and that is useless for wall pushing. At least with Warden's on kill mechanic, for example, the spirits can linger from the previous area.

[@HewieSux]

there he is - always looking forward to your analysis and build in jokes / puns thank you yet again for your effort . I'm really happy to see mummy Sisaspia getting some love; she helped me on many restrictive variants + she's from ToA, my favorite system & story DnD-campain . And my boi Korth - always loved his kit and simply the idea of a katana-wielding gecko, always a great buffer / debuffer until i build up my roster, and even then a solid choice . Warden is interesting too - more summoning is a biiig yes; + your skin for them looks like straight from FMA 👌 . It would be interesting to see how the new core sticks up for Artemis and his 20 DEX, or if even new DPS become viable . ( what I always wish for - diversity )

[@tyredack]

And always love when you come back for more! I think Sisaspia and Korth got appropriate amount of love, and I'm glad they did. Always liked both of them as well, and always sad to see characters like that fade into obscurity as the power creep raises. Warden's loss of a sticky debuff is unfortunate, but summoning, yes! Pairing Warden with BBEG, Viconia, and Miria makes the screen get consumed by all sorts of undead and I'm here for it.

[@PaulStanton-k4f]

Tyredack Thankyou so much for this insight I so missed that Nrakk's changes means they nerfed him for gold find which I've been using a lot recently!!!!!! Also mifed its nerfed a slot for Aremtis now only got Warduke that I find too hard to use and then the worst DPS in game as other option go Delina !!! My biggiest issues with this game at moemnt is is no longer becoming an idle game. With the new ultiamate changes for Nrakk is starting to be a even more invloded and hands which very worried as they called this change "a game changer" in the curent release notes.... So cant wait till see all the next champion revamps they do adding in more not so idle mini game mechanics :(

[@tyredack]

I know that's a worry for some people, that this game becomes less idle. I think a healthy mix of both is good to keep both parties interested, but it does suck they had to do with an established character whose roll has shifted drastically now. Nrakk still gives a decent buff to be Observed instead of being one being Observed from, so he's not a total waste in an Artemis formation if you've invested in him, but yeah, not ideal.

[@MrMarnel]

Worth noting Widdle's 4th item (the chair) boosts her speed ability so if nothing else, try to epic that one. From my PoV of "those are all new champs except Warden" this season has been way less impressive than Acq Inc so far except for Nrakk doing some silly bud spiking even with casual application of his ult. I still like the guys though, Sisaspia gave me a magic champion in slot 1 for Ulkoria, Warden's way less of a meh filler now, Korth and Zorbu will surely find some use. Virgil's cool and in general there's a lot of champs eligible for Strahd here, who has been my most restrictive patron by far. Jang Sao is *really* hard on positioning without her feat and has awful ability scores but from what I've seen gets some good numbers. Getting a 4th Modron Core for 4 parties feels pretty big and the removal of daily quests is nice, they often felt like a bit of a chore. Thanks for the video, always informative and helpful. Have you considered making more mechanics-focused ones as well?

[@tyredack]

Fair point with Widdle! That is kind of the theme this Season in a weird way, nothing crazy but they're all just pretty decent. Out of curiosity, what exactly do you mean by a more mechanics-focused videos?

[@MrMarnel]

​@@tyredack I wrote this on a previous video but maybe you didn't see it so I'll copy-paste it here: I think it'd be great if you made a video explaining some intricacies of the game's mechanics. Things like repeating the pre-stack vs post-stack explanation from Krond's video, additive vs multiplicative stacking with examples, how to calculate powers for two options with numbers that can't be directly compared like Thelora's specs etc. I'm sure a lot of newer or less knowledgeable players would benefit from it. Maybe also "tricks" like swapping champions between parties, Potions of Specialization resetting ultimates (although I'm not sure those are intended?) etc. Potentially useful for Nrakk, although it won't let you get over 30 ki because it resets that too it does let you get ki on demand to push. Basically I think there's a lot of room for video guides on the game.

[@MrMarnel]

@@tyredack Sorry for the double comment, but another thing I forgot I wanted to say is that, from what I saw, Warden's specters carry over from previous areas in an adventure so while it technically is an on-kill mechanic in reality it should always be maxed. It's just that when you swap into his party from elsewhere there'll be no specters up so maybe you need to go back a bit to get an easy kill again before pushing. While I get all the grievances about them losing the sticky debuff, I think a champion that actually wants to stay on the field is more interesting.

[@gelert16]

A pretty cool champion this event. Nice numbers (eventually) and some interesting niches. Really sad about the availability though. Nrakk needed some changes since every time they released a champion with 14 wisdom he would inevitably break them somehow (usually in the player's favor, and we can't have that, can we?). Even with Gith Focus getting nerfed into the ground the devs are still scared of him breaking things so the new item for the ability has a tiny cap. It's a shame they are on such a tight update schedule with such a small dev team, since there is barely any time or personnel to playtest things before they are released. A lot of the problems in this game could be solved just by slowing things down a bit. This season is pretty underwhelming mostly. It is so nice not having to worry about dailies any more, but it feels like most of the champ buffs get balanced out with nerfs. Zorbu is pretty much unchanged functionally as a main DPS. For Artemis, he should be slightly worse since he loses an observe by no longer buffing himself with his own positional. It seems as though it is still being observed as if he did, so who knows? Probably either a display bug or something not having been changed correctly. Another one of those things that could have been caught in playtesting, but hopefully it'll get fixed eventually.

[@tyredack]

Yeah, I really wish she had better availability because she is interesting and can pump some good numbers. I just wish we at least either got him to keep his DPS tag or his unique Focus mechanics, not lose them both. He's still good as he is now, just less flavorful. Artemis does still Observe Hunter's Pack from Zorbu, and I think that's intentional. Though Zorbu gets it in different way through Expert Hunter, it's still a positional buff applied to him.

[@Kaefer1973]

The champions of this event are blessed I guess. They get their own core but also the Unaffiliated Core from the Lawful/Unaffiliated event. They also go well with some of the champions of that event making it an almost continuation. Personally I'd have preferred they didn't buff Zorbu, but since he is one of the top DD's I'm actually willing to use, I'l try to live with it. Technically the season fall under the "no pay to win, real money only for cosmetic items" rule anyway.

[@tyredack]

It is interesting how many of the Champions that benefit from one of the cores also benefits from the other. And I guess thankfully for you, Zorbu got the least attention out of the rest!

[@Lou_Mansfield]

[@DeathlyTired]

Are they going to change Jang Sao to collect stars in background parties? If not, as a player that can't do 24/7 play, she's completely DOA - I'll never have spare capacity to have her in the foreground enough. Korth has a new achievement. Nrakk: Using just the four other season champs and Briv, I let them reach a generic wall. Then I put a DEX-spec, 60 stack Nrakk in and gave him 30 stacks more to use up. He gives... +e150 BUD - not a typo (e one-fifty)! Warden: I've played since well before Warden was released, and Hex being sticky has always been useful. They didn't chnage Aila's Storm Soul in her season re-work; it's still sticky. THat they changed this on Warden... they're just not Warden anymore. You can't just rewrite 6 years of history like that. As far as the season goes, I think from my point of view they've made 4 of the 5 less interesting, more generic (despite window dressing to distract from this) and the season in general feels completely muddled and already tedious to participate in. New champion, season, core all in one day would be too much even if the season was not an active pain to engage with.

[@LinkVisage]

Warden feels wrong now

[@tyredack]

That I can't answer, I can only hope that will be an option. I always forget the potentially altered achievements in Seasonal reworks 😅 Yeah, removing Warden's sticky is wild. Especially their reasoning being "this behavior was non-standard and promotes unintended and unfun gameplay." What do you mean non-standard? Warden *set* that standard and you intentionally maintained it throughout the years!

[@vmm.7144]

I didn't realize Nrakk lost his DPS tag until I saw this video. My day 1 arty formation has been destroyed. CNE is determined to not allow us to get ahead.

[@tyredack]

Yeah, it sucks he isn't classified as a DPS anymore. The heights his buff can reach do still offer a good buff to Observe on other DPS if nothing else, and he still scales the formation abilities of Zorbu, Birdsong, Nova, etc. so it's not a total loss. But yeah, still sucks.

[@blamecap216]

THANKS

[@tyredack]

Welcome!

[@OpenWorldAddict0]

Im glad both Korth and Zorbu are in this season just because it will make it a little easier for me to fully epic both of them, as both of them already have all rares. I have a question, do you think Warden's buff will allow him to pass Strix? The reason why i ask is that i like Warden a lot, but ever since Strix has become fully epiced an her item levels were seriously buffed since she was in last season, she always ends up winning that seat slot in my formations over Warden who hasn't been able to keep up the formation's dps. (although since he isin this season he might be able to bypass her buffing potential by the end of the season since he will most likely be fully epiced and have his item levels buffed as well. Also, the seasonal buffs might have been what was pushing Strix up.)

[@tyredack]

That is one nice thing about season regardless of reworks is the loot! It's a really tight race between Strix and Warden honestly. I think Warden can probably outperform her with max Specters up, but if you reliably farm up her Haunted she might take over. Real tight. At the end of the day that Seat also has Avren and Nova, really a competitive seat overall. 😅 And yeah, her losing Seasonal buffs and Warden now gaining them just might give the edge to Warden in your case.

[@sinclairo3349]

Good overview even for dummies like me. As Always. 😄 I was just wondering: Since there is happening so much in that game with season rebalancing, new cores and features. Maybe you can make a short "revisited" video every year or so for the current top 5 DPS champions. I am very confused for my zorbu formation. Is the dex core the best core for him? Are the new dex-based champions reason enough to change my formation for him? Is there anything I am missing to buff him further?

[@tyredack]

Appreciate it, but hey! I'm the only one allowed to be self-depracating lol It's true it could be a good idea to make a broad strokes video recapping the year for some of the Champions, it's true. As far as Zorbu, and *any* Modron Core question you have I'll always highly recommend Emmote's guide - emmotes.github.io/ic_modron_library/ - which going by the info there the Cores are equal in their potential. Really it will come down to if you use more Dex 15+ Champions or more Unaffiliated Champions actively in your main formation, as they scale per Champion in your formation with those qualifiers.

[@OlOlOIIO]

Okay this keeps crossing my mind every time I start one of your videos… did you use to make content for a channel called Planet Destiny or something like that? I feel like I’ve spent like weeks hearing your voice at least 2-3 times that week.

[@MrCMaccc]

Question about 'full epic everyone you can' but how? I mean, with the drop rate of the event currency and how much it costs to start a run I never feel like I can full epic anyone, let alone 2 of the 3. Is there something I'm missing? I know bounty contracts drop event currency but I feel like there has to be something else

[@tyredack]

The biggest way is indeed bounty contracts to drop event currency. Only ever use them during an event. I don't know how long you've been playing (I know you made a comment about Celeste's code not too long ago so I'm guessing not terribly long), but you'll eventually get to a point where you will be able to farm enough to reliably get them there, or at least get a large amount for each and finish it off with Patron Chests. Don't worry, you'll get there eventually!

Is the feeling that the loss of Nrak in arty formations minimal or did you feel covering it here just didn't fit?

[@tyredack]

That was my lamenting of his loss of the DPS tag. If he got these reworks and maintained it, he would have been *perfect* for an Artemis formation, but alas. I do think there was currently all-around better options than heavily investing in old Nrakk for current Artemis formations. Though, honestly, if you're sure to make Way of the Kensei reach its ceiling he'll still be just as useful as he used to be in raw BUD, he'll just be providing a good buff to Observe instead of being an Observing meat stick.

[@OpenWorldAddict0]

Does this change how Nrakk helps in a Orkira Healing Flame Farm formation?

[@tyredack]

He will still increase the effect of her healing since it's positional. But as it is right now it buffs it at a lesser amount, so there is a bit of a loss. While he did lose his DPS roll, so he can't be Observed from, in an Orkira buff up he has to be adjacent to her and wasn't receiving the heal, so wasn't being Observed from anyway.

[@heykak]

I got myself too hyped up over the potential of nrakk moving seat (to make jang fit with the season, while also potentially having another ceremorphosis stack for my warduke AA team.)

[@tyredack]

It is a strange choice to have two champions with the same seat to be focused on at the same time, no doubt.

[@heykak]

especially since they have kind of established a trend since season 2 that the first champion in the season will either be directly related (Imoen for Champions) thematically related (Miria for Lawful non-affiliated) or just generally useful (Strongheart). I understand that a seat swap has to be rare or else people will be clamoring for it all the time... sadly my adhd brain got fixated on that prospect (all though that does make season 6 formation building easier)@@tyredack

[@MrCMaccc]

​@tyredack I mean didn't they just point out in Korth's changelog that sharing a seat with Widdle who also does attack speed stuff was a bad call? Really feels weird

[@trummler4100]

They've Destroyed Warden for my BUD Spiking ):

[@tyredack]

Yeah, Warden not being sticky anymore (and their reasoning behind it) just doesn't feel right.

[@epicman4046]

TLDR: Using nrakk+krull+birdsong, then getting stunning strike to 60 stacks will add hundreds of digits of damage to any formation. Abuse this while it lasts! You didn't mention in the video that nrakk's stunning strike is LUDICROUSLY strong right now since all of its upgrades and are (unintentionally) applying pre stack and it has 60 STACKS. This results in the debuff having an e100+ debuff when stunning strike has 60 stacks. Now pair with with the fact that Krull squares debuffs with the traitor ability, and using these 2 champs then maxing nrakk's ult in any formation will skyrocket your DPS. But wait, there's more, Birdsong has an ability that deal damage based on your BUD, and they forgot to disable debuffs for it. So this ability has upwards of 180 applications, and an item that applies to it, and a dismantle available for the item. There's no risk in using this as a Jimothy replacement during the dismantle period to get your campaign favors to e90+ if you haven't already.

[@tyredack]

Generally speaking, I personally don't advocate the use of abusable exploits. Now, if they leave it in the game for long enough that's one thing, because that's them saying it's just part of the game if they don't get on top of fixing it. Something tells me this isn't one of those things, though.

I really don't get why Zorbu is in this season. They barely did anything with him and there are so many other champions that would have benefited from being included instead.

[@tyredack]

I think he was a strange choice as well. Hell, an Unaffiliated DEX based old Champ I would have loved to see get some love is Stoki, or if they wanted a DPS Black Viper or Ishi.

My main question: will you still use the term Nrakkable? 😂

[@tyredack]

I'm sure I'll sneak it in there from time to time 😉
