Deft Hands great with Grover and Sha Lin

[@spailer5478]

oh yea a must have

[@AgarEclipse]

I facepalm so hard when a Grover or Sha lin teammate chooses deft hands smh

[@ECMrAkuma]

I facepalm when someone buy bulldozer and there're no barik or ying on the other team

[@kintokisa]

He forgot to mention grohk's totem in the vid. Triggered.

[@peterputdeksel7215]

Grover doesnt have a reload lmao

[@DefNotHanzo]

Wow.. feelsbadman. Saw this in my recommended section right as I was finishing up my guide on the same exact thing. I laid mine out almost identically to yours too, yours has more polish though. ugghhh.. good guide dude.

[@abis_osrs9212]

DefNotHanzo your a sexy beast with a ton of awesome vids anyway :)

[@DefNotHanzo]

***** I honestly like yours a lot better, I'm just going to wait till they change items around a bit (specifically the planned aggression changes) then do a quick video for that :) I don't see the point in redundancy for this type of stuff, if viewers have questions about items I'll just link them to this video since it really nails it.

[@twurkeyonly]

+Kami0889 +DefNotHanzo Hey guys, wanna party? Add me as IISphynxII and let's have fun

[@Karrson100]

Hi, I only build deft hands on Grover/Sha Lin. On all others I max out Aggression and then I build Illuminate! :D 100% winrate

[@TrashBarSoap]

So what I'm getting at is ALWAYS GET DEFT HANDS FOR GROVER RIGHT?

[@LazyLoneLion]

Sha Lin too ;)

[@ylananderson6291]

Vanilla Nexus What if deft hands decreases the time between the attacks thus increasing the dps? It's a good idea or it's too op?

[@TrashBarSoap]

Ylantron Prime that would be cool, nit it isn't

[@kintokisa]

+Ylantron Prime that would be... broken kinda? How would the mechanic work with ruckus? with fernando and grohk? Not to mention some champ that will benefit too much from it. Imagine grover with it, he can spam his axe from afar so fast. Or glass canon champ, like evie or drogoz. Imagine them shooting faster. Or bombking, lol, imagine. Not good brah

[@kellyhe3012]

Ylan depending on the percentage, it might be too good, or too awful. Imagine if it was -5% -10% -15% like aggression? I realize, aggression has been removed at the time of this comment, but still would be awful. Now imagine if it was like deft hands, -20%, -40%, -60%. That would be op as fuck with someone like bk,drogoz,evie, mainly glass cannon type champions. It would be a fine balance.

[@LazyLoneLion]

I like to buy Cauterize on Fernando :) His wide angle of attack will cauterize all nearby enemies. And most of enemies *nearby* to Fernando are enemy frontliners, who really need some heal. And they got -90% of it ;)

[@reefrave]

LazyLoneLion Cauterize is an amazing card hands down, but Fernando practically has that in his kit with his auto attacks. GOD BLESS HIREZ FOR BRINGING INCINERATE BACK 😍 So if Fernando has his auto attacks + the burn tick during his autos you're dealing out some high damage. It would be best, in my opinion, to pick up another offensive card. Almost like you have 5 items instead of 4. But if the enemy team has two healers and one self healer or vis versa, yeah just say fuck it and get cauterize. I hope that wasn't confusing :o

[@LazyLoneLion]

Coril Currie First, I don't understand was do you mean by "auto attack". :) Then what would you pick instead of cauterize? Bulldozer? Wrecker? Aggression??? Nando is not so good in wrecking shields or blasting turrets anyway. Sure, if there is no healer at all, then cauterize is not the priority.

[@phantomberzerk9486]

why would u he say illuminate is bad i mean when playing a flank and if there is a sky in the opposite team this could be rlly useful.i admit haven and blast shiled is better tho.but sky can a pain so just to not get trolled by her every time u can get illuminate

[@markruiz5972]

And his basics linger and constantly reapply got a while even if they retreat behind cover

[@ExlerOne]

I think morale boost is great on drogoz especially when the ennemy team has multiple tanks and no ying and shalins, that (pretty much) guaranteed kill can really make a difference

[@MrDannyx00]

There really should be an updated item guide 😋 (more champs (because alot of people dont know inara's wall is a deployable and not shield) , no aggression, etc etc)

[@DevoShreds]

Fantastic video and series. Thanks for contributing to the Paladins community

[@deparoo]

Thank you,Sensei.2nd day of Paladins & most of the tips came from you!!!

[@thousandstar]

i learned ALOT. going from overwatch to this made things clear

[@starkiller5088]

Pip always Chronos, more healing damage and jumping

[@kintokisa]

I've been destroyed by pip with lvl 3 morale boost. It was a close game until the third round. We got the payload but can't push through. He ults so many times. and we lost at the 4th round

[@RickyMuzakki]

BlackOwl pip is either morale boost and chronos depending on enemy team wether you need ulti much or just healing and bombing

[@icecontrol2571]

I have no idea but once when I had morale boost as pip and I got my ult in literally 5-8 seconds. I was like "wait wut I thought I just used this???"

[@rishu_sinha]

Deft hand is also good for viktor, if he gets deft hand 2 and then he can unload clip after clip very fast. Plus his 1st 4 shots in each clip deals bonus damage

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

Raunak Sinha no they don't o.0

[@rishu_sinha]

Lorenzo Giancristofaro i think they do (or probably used to)

[@kotton]

What offensive item do you suggest for Kinessa? Lately i've been going lv 1 deft hands then just lv 3 moral boost.

[@haozacardistry265]

caut. great because people constantly escape you

[@Nosgarth]

I really like Chronos for Ying to speed up how quick I can punch out illusions (I build my deck around using shatter soon as the illusions health is low or they are out of time) but will def try using a build around Nimble with her now too. Thanks for another great vid Kami!

[@LaPoubelle42]

Deft hands is the best dmg card in a vacuum. I would say it should be a 4/5 since it has a similar effect to Lifesteal in helping you win close 1v1s but it also increases your overall DPS. Champions I always get deft hands (unless I am worried about healing) are Buck, Viktor, Androxus, Skye, and Bomb King. They have unique benefits to those champions in that with skye and viktor you are constantly emptying your clip and reloading, and with BK I find myself reloading in tight situation, Androxus for similar reasons, and because deft hands turns buck into a grover if you max out his reload card as well.

[@ollieeasdon6394]

Cauterise on Ruckus man, Spray and Pray :D

[@PhyxiusGaming]

Waiting for the day, that Hi-Rez brings back Agression!

[@donaldreynolds8178]

Deft hands for healing grohk, makes it so you can constantly be shooting heals with a 1 1/2 sec reload instead of 4 sec reload.

[@mixmasterX28]

Deft hands is actually really good on evie and andro too

[@azizull371]

yup i used it with andro and its greatt

[@aQrator]

mixmasterX28 on buck too, as he said, as his reload speed is so, so slow

[@azizull371]

Yup buck shotgun is so frustrating

[@aQrator]

The only advantage is the stopping mid-reload

[@azizull371]

Yup but what is your favourite champ aErator?

[@zakahn3896]

I like nimble with Sha Lin, especially when you have wonderlust and run like the wind, and with the slowdown with the bow it's extremely helpful

[@VDVFRANCISCO]

i used that method of finding the winning team too, who ever has more "aggressors" in their team is usually the losing side xD

[@sorogatehdark]

I tend to go for chronos with Ying although I rarely bring it above level one. Skimming off that extra second on illusion feels pretty good.

[@시트르산-w7o]

Chronos... is good for Evie too.

[@dragonesm]

i like nimble on vik, just to help him with movement when i'm using F

[@m_onde_r]

there is a card for that

[@Necr0ticus]

Scramble and Second Wind cards which increase your movement speed while you Hustle are both useless because they have cooldown on them, so they are no worth using.

[@burgerkiller4438]

Nimble foesn't affect hustle. The one that gives you more movement speed is counted.

[@ShadowsDML]

I like to get chronos on makoa because I usualy hit a lot of hooks.

[@jasonsmith-lv5my]

+Kami0889 makoa is one of those champs that after buying res or haven or bs idk what else to invest in, his damage, fire rate and ammo isn't much to give damn about cauterize, bulldozer or wrecker, life rip or kill to heal so I usually max out morale boost. It helps most of the time.

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

jason smith well cauterize does dot buff your attack in any way so it pretty much the best pick with any champ

[@jasonsmith-lv5my]

+Lorenzo Giancristofaro caut applies debuff for 2 seconds only so aoe like Fernando or sustained damage types like Viktor or ruckus are best suited for it but meh any one can use caut so long your shots are landing on targets.

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

jason smith btw does cauterize and wreker work with all the abilities or only the primary fire?

[@jasonsmith-lv5my]

+Lorenzo Giancristofaro I don't know about that I believe its just weapon shots which means shots fired by your weapon. not sure tho

[@eliblessed]

resilience is good aginst MalDunba if they happened to pick up deft hands and they are a decent shot...

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

eliblessed deft hands is my first pick with maldamba, at lv 1 it gives you the same effect as a snake pit 4

[@diluca1491]

Ain't Grohk's healing totem a deployable too?

[@LaPoubelle42]

It doesn't last long enough to get destroyed most of the time, a good grohk knows to hide it behind a box or something

[@SimoLInk1698]

I usually get Chronos on every support because i like my heals being up as soon as possible, and especially on Pip: i can stay alive for so much time if i time correctly my Q and F, so that if my teammates die, i can stall the game enough for them to get back in action.

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

SimoLInk1698 says he is a support, plays pip... Anyways chronos cooldown reduction is usually not woth it with cooldowns lower than 9/10 seconds simply because it literally just takes like half a second off of them, it is great on champs like sha lin for planted or nando for the shield

[@n1k0la3]

Hey @KamiVS, could you update this video?

[@thelaw7772]

Hey kami could u please do a new androxus guide?

[@Zennethe]

Nimble on Maeve for the luls. Chronos on Inara for the luls. With 70% cooldown reduction on her wall and the card that does upward knockback to yourself with her wall + the fact you hover in place during her ULT. lol "Flying Inara".

[@aQrator]

I kinda like Nimble on Kinessa when against flankers. You tend to suprise them with your speed a little and avoid just those little bit of damage that can make a difference against flankers not being buck. That said, Illuminate vs skye, and haven/blast shield against all of them should be a priority pick for most people. I guess it fits my style a bit more, trying to stay alive more to flankers and such

[@DarkraiQ8]

Great as always... this is wt i needed

[@Gwgitu77]

plus 1 sub bro, i love your humour and twitch emotes LUL

[@irisbailar3980]

This is a pretty old video. In my opinion illuminate works with Jenos as well. Instead of blindly setting off your ultimate through a wall, with this item you can see who is behind the wall you will more likely hit more than miss.

[@akhmad7119]

Taheerah Rochelle thats not how it works. It is to increase your vision against stealth champs such as shalin, skye, and strix. It's sometimes pretty useful tho.

[@bayronsuxej9206]

I love using wrecker whenever they have 2 or more tanks in a team, mostly with high dps heroes such as Viktor or Skye, also I like to use life rip on them whenever I need some sustain (I usualy go way deep as viktor)

[@luyolo5167]

Morale boost REALLY helps with Grover when playing a siege

[@WolfGamez1]

the bulldozer card also works for grohk's healing totems, oh wait.. no-one cares? i'll just take my leave

[@Issengrim]

He did say about that, also even after buff, you need a second to kill that totem. Now ying illusions and +700 turret is the other thing.

[@dytarus3108]

hello Kami, can you do a video about hitbox ? , i feel that sometimes the shot missed me, but i still take the dmg, or when i target direct in the enemy but still missed

[@valypredescu9753]

should I buy more iems or upgrade the first one I buy?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

4:00 doesn't mal'danba gourd count as AOE?

[@loudamir7390]

You actually made me laugh by skipping the aggression :D

[@andoryuumai368]

Thanks for the lesson, Kami-sensei...... :D Really like your vid.

[@urias888]

does bulldozer work against kinessa's mines?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

Help, do offensive items like wreker or cauterize apply buffs to the primary fire only or also to other abilities? What I mean is: does fernando's fireball deal more damage to shields with wreker? does bk grumpy bomb apply a healing debuff to all the enemies hit by it? Or is it only the left mouse button shots that do that?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

***** weird, i just joined some matches agains bots and played fernando and andro, with wreker, i noticed that nando's fireball does NOT do more damage to shields while his primary fire DOES, while with cauterize i noticed that fireball or androxus' right click automatically apply a healing debuff WITHOUT cauterize (i could see the text "healing" after hitting them with those abilities. so basically cauterize works only with left click; but secondary attack abilities like fireball(nando), explosive flask(pip), defiance(andro) all apply a healing debuff by default

[@MrWettissue]

are you gonna update this to current version of the game??

[@olav_]

I am far from good at this game (I am mainly an overwatch player) but I found morale boost really nice on evie since you can get like 10%-15% ult from a single hit. What do you think? Like I said I have no idea if it actually is good for her so.

[@segalem]

What about Life Rip on Viktor?

[@munadisos7873]

I do like to pick up nimble on champs like kinessa and sha lin just because they are snipers and are a bit slow, i also think cauterize is good against buck, there is usually always a healer in a team so it helps against that aswell

[@FinNote]

*Oh my goodness oh my goodness, I LOVE IT!* Thanks for the guide bro, +1 Sub :P

[@aphinphin1676]

Chronos is good with Grover too, cause his heals cooldown is soooo long, and Androx with extra reload speed in his loadout + deft hands maxed is just like u arent reloading bullets at all, and also life steal is great with evie, considering her health is so low, and she can just randomly attack the tank with some attacks just to get heals

[@Szmolikaze]

btw liferip goes well with buck on lifesteal loadout build :D

[@sukalyanmajumdar1196]

actually helpful guide good work m8

[@Bet12121]

Man I remember when I first watched this its outdated but somewhat relevantish am I right.

[@kintokisa]

barik is great with kill to heal, too. Kills and elim that happen when your turret just tapped the other guy heals you.

[@kintokisa]

aggresion suck. Like, yes, stop it/5. But I actually uses it once. I was using Evie, maxed master riding, etc. I saw that the whole enemy team already buys haven, except for the one guy that buys illuminate... I proceed to buy aggresion. Best comeback game ever :D (and proceed to buy it lvl 2, too) ps that was a really rare cases tho. 300 credits to counter 1200 credits is just

[@mrsandman4769]

Kill to heal with Kinessa?

[@hongphuc1730]

Thanks Kami for added my works, here's more detail & up-to-date items list album to everyone who need it (includes Defense & Offense): imgur.com/a/vxy0Q

[@sirioguidoandreapreziosi3836]

Compliments for your work, is much appreciated!

[@zeppelinzks192]

I also usually pick up nimble with ying, but also pip, making him even harder to hit :P

[@TheAsianpk3r]

Would like to see more of these videos @kamivs

[@jasonsmith-lv5my]

maybe decrease the price of aggression but if they made aggression deal 10,20,30 % damage champions like drogoz, evie and kinessa would 1/ 2 shot most champions under 2500 if not countered by their respective defense cards.

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

jason smith yeah i though about it too, they should make aggression cost 300 credits while cauterize and wreker 400 credits. That way you can waste less credits on aggression or commit to a wreker or cauterize build

[@airsoftpyro]

Deft Hands 2 on Makoa because it basically doubles the amount of damage output you can do by cutting your reload time in half lf combined with the reload speed card he has

[@philip40k]

nimble on flank pip is good cause it makes his weightless cover so much ground.

[@SammyDoesMC]

I kinda use agression when using kinessa. is that bad? ;-;

[@wwolfneo]

been trying to find thoses PTlagger pic you showed in this Vid for BS & H but no luck :(

[@hongphuc1730]

Here: imgur.com/a/vxy0Q

[@wwolfneo]

thanks PTL! :D

[@rakshithnaravajjala2598]

You need to update this video, Kami.

[@krishnapriya1554]

Resilience works with Cassies Blast shot and Shalins Throwback shot (Don't know the names) But it does work I guess

[@haozacardistry265]

it's called impale

[@krishnapriya1554]

Yaa thx

[@suzukihs3005]

I like to use chronos with Grover to use my heals faster and use the axe cripple thing. I also use nimble on koga and also use the higher jump card on koga loadout so I play like a nuisance against the enemy. I'm harder to hit.

[@lazygamer9648]

i have 1200 dpi but idk what my mouse sens is not my in game im trying to find my in game sens

[@aidanfitzhugh1422]

Can damage characters grab the increased damage against shields for extra end damage, like to get the 100k achievement.

[@markruiz5972]

Nimble on kinessa for those cheeky hard scopes, same with strix.

[@shadowtdk]

Even though I buy Tier 2 items I don't get them. I spend credits for nothing. When I upgrade a skill the credits are wasted and no Tier 2 item... There is a particular order to get Tier 2?

[@Issengrim]

All, Paladins youtubers need to make some Kind of PSA about aggression.

[@niewiadomokto3477]

Morale boost can be good on VIktor, too. (in my opinion)

[@SebekFerehRa]

What's the name of the outro song?

[@SebekFerehRa]

Thanks!

[@ECMrAkuma]

What is better for androxus, kill to heal or life rip?

[@LmocinemodSD]

Depends on whether you'll be getting kills or doing tons of damage. If the enemy has a lot of high-hp champions, kill to heal becomes bad and life rip becomes good; and vice versa.

[@ECMrAkuma]

Got it, thanks

[@mateuszskibicki1213]

I like life steal on sha Lin if you want to go more flank with him

[@jacksfields]

one of my off pick items is nimble on Barik. being able to juke and dance around your shield/turret makes a huge difference. even the first tier is enough to throw people off of their snapshots/tracking

[@haikalt.9279]

jacksfields barik just need to turtle behind histurret and he is useful

[@looney2be]

seriously, does deft hand work on sha lin or grover?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

oliver valentino yes please use it everytime it just makes you rate of fire so quick :)

[@Dragoyle01]

i've had people fight me telling me that aggression is "too good", i'm gonna just show them this vid

[@reefrave]

Yeah I was going to say Kami, Moral Boost is really good to pick up on Fernando BUT IF AND ONLY IF there is a Drogoz on the enemy team. Reason being once that Drogoz ults, whatever Frontline he is looking at is donezo. But with Fernando its a pretty solid item being able to save yourself and stick to the objective just a little bit longer. The only problem is though, as a Fernando, you really have to be putting in work for your team like shielding and helping to secure kills so it would take you away from the objective a bit. Overall a good card on Fernando but only against a Drogoz.

[@reefrave]

You can always do individual videos for each champion and items, but I don't know if you would be up for all of that editing :o Otherwise a good video, and I really enjoyed it Kami :3

[@reefrave]

Don't be nervous!And you're right they have become obsolete which kinda sucks but it's going to happen. Helps content producers create content :3

[@hongphuc1730]

I see Master Riding is good for TankNando and Nimble for FlankNando

[@reefrave]

Now see.... I don't like Master Riding... Only good use for that item is of you were dieing a lot, and I like to stay alive to be near the objective and help the team. But Nimble is a good card on Nando.

[@hongphuc1730]

Master Riding is good if you play with team, you & your team can set up strategy faster

[@dz0id]

Does cauterize affect bucks self heal?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

dZ0idGaMning yup

[@RematodeRanger]

yes. because its healing.

[@a7012a]

How about Tyra

[@JustaSadCat]

For me, if I don't get Nimble on Evie to at least tier 2, then I find that I get hit more easily if I don't have Nimble at all. For me, nimble on Evie is the icing on the cake! X)

[@trietho5125]

ohhh i loveee morale boost on grhok

[@tiensiii]

My favourite card? Definitely Aggression on Bomb King. You know, that extra 1 dmg helps SO MUCH /s Kappa

[@rickb3643]

love it kami0889

[@anthonycedillo-silva7771]

I like to buy cauterize on my nando and veteran on any flank i play, wrecker on cassie...and master riding if i wanna show off my slide on drogoz

[@scarnovak5298]

Hey kami I wanted to ask you what your name is in Paladins cause I want to copy your andro loadout

[@Shekanereal]

I love getting chronos on Cassie and people see me rollin', they hatin'

[@LackadaisicalBiomass.]

Because Viktor has one of the highest dps' in the game I enjoy building wrecker on him when going up against ruckus, you can just melt him so fast.

[@smithberns7862]

resilience ain't just for bk and pip. also great for kinessa, skye, cassie, maldamba, sha lin, etc

[@danielkickboxer]

What fov do you use?

[@lorenzogiancristofaro9721]

Deft hands is absolutely op on maldamba, it is literally the only offensive item i would ever buy for him, also consudering that deft hands 1 is the same thing as snake pit 4, which is an absolute waste in a loadout

[@chancehattaway1416]

Typically If I am playing flank against some sort of double cc comp then Ill take resilience. (Stuns or cripples, sometimes even against flask spam pip)

[@Reippa]

i Realy enjoy your vids! :)

[@ShashaParallax]

I haven't watched the video yet but why not an aggression buff

[@haikalt.9279]

Shashank Patel aggression is a joke, 400 credit to add 5 percent of ur dmg? u can buy deft hands, cauterize etc which is a better card

[@AntiGravityC9]

even if it was 10/20/30, cauterize and wrecker in their current version would still be a better pick until those 2 items are nerfed, aggression will never work purely from not being OP enough to get close to them

[@RematodeRanger]

i think agression should instead increase headhsot damage by 15/30/45% so that the skilled players can pick it up and destroy

[@luyolo5167]

Nimble is BAWSE when used with Maeve

[@bowmanclp]

I am on almost all explantions with you, BUT I think deft hands for skye can be really useful, especially when your aim isn't that perfect and you may have to reload to kill an enemy. I rarely go after shields with her anyway or at least the front liners are my secondary targets. With skye I always go after cassie sha lin and kinessa and so on and deft hands comes in handy in those combats. But thats my feeling, otherwise completely agree with you

[@DabloonsTNT3]

I love to buy Kill to Heal on Burger King.

[@rickverstegen9018]

I like to Guy the relaas one on ruckus

[@rickverstegen9018]

Reload
