OVERLORD's Tier Magic / Levelling Explained | How The Scale Of Magic Works

[@adamgtrap]

What I find most interesting about this is that a light novel author basically wrote a complete video game, with all the mechanics included. Even if he did draw from other games, that is still a ton of work.

[@oneautumnleaf5270]

+Dragon Aspect well, current VR technologies are not bad,same with different trackers (like for people on probation or those devices that just calculate distance that you walked), kinect was.. acceptable, so overall it's possible during our lifetime, though it would still probably be atrocious for the eyes and people will go blind with playing it for several years.

When Ainz casts super tier spells, the magic glyphs are just fabulous.

[@AmateurGT]

If a player below lvl5 dies he/she would not vanish instead their lvl would be reduced to lvl1. light novel Volume 1 page 87 : "According to YGGDRASIL’s rules, death would cost a character five levels and force him to drop one of his equipped items. In other words, characters below level 5 would immediately disappear. Players were specially exempt from this and would not vanish, but they would be reduced to the minimum of level 1. Therefore, it must be an issue with the game rules."

@@emperorborgpalpatine Really? those 3 are all sci-fi themed and in space. Overlord (or in case of the game Yggdrasil) is a Fantasy setting. There is neither a Magic system nor the race/class system from Overlord. Neither Gamemechanik nor Setting are even close to Overlord, the only thing thats similar is the relativ open world and the fact that it's an MMORPG. I haven't played any of the 3 but at least from the gameplay videos i just watched i can't see any resemblance at all. Well if you can bring some good arguments i'd like to see them.

[@SuperiorFanBase]

As a power gamer myself , I could very readily see high-level, open world player versus player being structured into non-party kill teams where in the high-level magic casters would only be in a party with the people who were immediately charged with protecting them. I'm going to assume being in a party with a player means that you have immunity to their spells IE protection from Friendly Fire. Otherwise it would only make sense to have the high-tier Mages completely remove from any party to prevent the whole party's super tier magic from going on cool down. At max level, you don't need to worry about gaining experience from kills and any degree of kill credits would, reasonably, be traded between players within the same Guild on a voluntary basis. Therefore, the optimal strategy would be to have all of your magic casters position as far away as possible and not being a party with any other players, or only the players that are signed to protect them in the case of friendly fire prevention. Then, through use of some manner of external coordination, like how people use TeamSpeak or Discord these days, each of these kill teams casts a unique instance of a long-range super tier Magic. Each of these casting instances would, if executed correctly, have almost identical casting times. Therefore, the actual spell would impact its Target or targets at nearly the exact same moment. In effect, this is a tactic similar to how modern militaries use mobile artillery pieces in that they coordinate between separate units to have the actual munition impacts be almost simultaneous. Therefore, this would bypass the restriction and global , party wide cool down on super to your magic and allow for multiple castings super tier magic during one combat engagement. a party who is able to come to this realization would have an unparalleled ability to Simply eradicate entire armies of opposing regardless of number or level if what we see from momonga's S-tier magic is representative of the tier of magic as a whole. They would be limited only by the number of magic casters able to cast any degree of super tier magic. I'm sure that lasted all of a week before the devs patched it out XD

[@SuperiorFanBase]

Sorry for the word dump.

[@Vezoth56]

1) Super tier magic has a long cast time without the use of cash shop items 2) Depending on the spell, the pillars of light would tell away the mages exact position 3) A certain amount of damage to a caster will end the spell (Easily done by someone like Peroronchino who could snipe from 2 kilometers away and who's attacks can only be negated through magic or skills) 4) Is your team also fighting near the opponent? How do you make them not take damage? 5) Friendlies also take damage regardless if you're in a team or not. The super tier spell "Creation" altered the terrain and would affect friendlies too. The super tier spell "Fallen Down" damaged Ainz during her fight against Shalltear. The only reason he didn't take damage was that he had cast "Body of Effulgent Beryl" before the fight. The spell negates one instance of bludgeoning damage. Only WCI like Picture of Nature and Nation (Basically the WCI version of Creation) could control who was affected by it.

[@meme0taker87]

@@Vezoth56 friendly fire was not a thing in Ygdrassil but it is a concern in the new world

[@Vezoth56]

@@meme0taker87 As I mentioned, the Super Tier spell Creation did do damage to friendlies as well. This damage is indirect damage as the Super Tier spell alters the terrain, and thus it is considered damage from the environment. Therefore you should still make sure not to cause damage to your allies.

[@GiveMeArk]

Not most platinum rank adventurers can use Tier 3, it is just that people who can use tier 3 are at the very least platinum ranked. As for Tier 4 that is reserved for the insanely skilled ones (by NW standards). 5 is the realm of heroes as for 6, there is only one (not immortal) human who can manage that in the NW. Yes the guardians can use tier 7, but they’re governed by the same principals as players in that tier 7 is not nearly their top. Extra: An average lvl 100 player had around 300 spells to choose from, while Ainz using one of his skills was able to gain 700 of them.

[@papercat2599]

Noah King guardians can use 10th tier like breathing air

[@GiveMeArk]

Paper Cat Exactly. Even for lvl 100 players tier 7 was the bare minimum one used when fighting other lvl 100 players.

[@papercat2599]

Noah King it barely does anything to lv 100 except annoying them

[@TheRedAzuki]

Even for lvl 100 players tier 7 was the bare minimum one used when fighting other lvl 100 players And that's simply because of the High-tier nullification passive. That basically allows them to ignore all spells below lvl 7.

[@ericlanglois9194]

For a time there was actually 2 people in the NW that could use Tier 6, also thanks to items left behind by previous players it was possible to cast higher tier spells. The big angel that was summoned in Carne village was Tier 7 and could cast Holy Smite which was also Tier 7. As for the Guardians, not all of them had Tier 10 spells as not all of them were magic casters. however Narberel Gamma is capable of squeezing out a 10th Tier spell when in her best condition according to the Comedy spinoff series :)

[@114418514]

10:10 as Yggdrasil is based on DnD I'd argue that maximize magic makes a spell always do the maximum amount of magic it can like if shock would do 1d6 damage, maximize shock would always do 6 damage

[@LordOsiris499]

Not really, the LN says otherwise. It also doesn’t seem very similar to DnD, did the author say something?

[@114418514]

IMO that's Boosted Magic remember that Momonga so far only used boosted magic on magic arrow. If upping his damage output in the 1st phase of the Shalltear fight was his aim, shouldn't he have used Boosted Maximized Reality Slash a lot more? IMO that's because Reality Slash is a tier10 spell that can't have its power increased, just maximized and seriously it's in the wording tbh

[@SirDurant]

Going by D&D, Boosted Magic is Heighten Spell which isn't used for damage so much as for resistance difficulty on status inflicting spells and for bypassing spell-level-based (or tier-based in Overlord's case) magic immunity. The only metamagic that doesn't have a D&D parallel is Over Magic, as far as I can tell. I will fully admit I know relatively little about Overlord, though. ^^;

[@RevRa-3]

Ok so here's the dealio: My guess is that the creator of Overlord played a lot of DnD 3.5e. Here's why. Maximize was a Metamagic feat in there and it worked the exact same way. Maxes damage out. Boosted Magic is Heightened Magic because in 3.5 it amps the level of which the spell is cast at. For example, a Heightened Fireball in 3.5 would be cast at a higher level than 3rd. Penetrate Magic is actually Fortify Magic. They both do the same thing in terms of overcoming resistances. Twin/Triple Magic works the same way as Twin Spell in DnD. Silent works the same way. Widen works the same way. Over magic was a bit difficult. The closest things I could think of was if someone applied two Metamagics in 3.5. The first was Enhanced Magic. Which in 3.5 increases the damage dice of the spell by 10. So you roll the initial set of damage dice....then roll 10 more and add that damage to the initial damage. The other Metamagic to apply would be Empower Magic. Which takes the spell damage and multiplies it by ×1.5. So for example, in 3.5 a Fireball does a maximum damage of 10d6 fire damage. Then Enhance Magic would add an additional 10d6 to that damage. So now we have 20d6 being rolled for damage. Then Empower Magic multiplies all of that by 1.5 so if all those d6s rolled the max damage possible (120), the damage is now 180 fire damage. Oh and 3.5 did in fact have a Delay Magic Metamagic Get it? Got it? Cool.

[@meme0taker87]

I don't think yoy can roll for damadge in an DMMO RPG and it might be random each time but in most MMO games they have a flat amount of damadge so it is more likely it just increases the damadge

[@MajorLawliet]

fernando gonzalez ferga He was mainly versatile, but not optimized. Ainz was dangerous because he used knowledge extensively and always tried to make things favorable for himself.

In the end everyone just stopped coming and he was left all alone. Just like Momonga in Yggdrasil. From the loneliness, love for his friends and game, and his skills as a DM, Overlord was born.

Highly famous adventurers (10+ character level) will have 6th and 7th level spells, and your legendary heroes (character level 15-20) gain access to 8th and 9th level spells, one such 9th level spell being the mighty Wish spell which can be used to cast nearly any other spell in the game, boost ones attributes, etc. Once adventurers go beyond legends, and enter into epics, caster can even gain the ability to apply metamagic to 9th level spells by gaining even higher spell slots. find some friends, roll up a wizard, and begin your quest toward unmaking reality.

Make a video about the races of the characters.

[@Mestari1Gaming]

Facasinating video AniNews! The world of Overlord is very interesting and cool.

[@chrisanderson2056]

Ahhhh man ican't wait for Overlord season 3

[@nabinoorshahil2715]

Chris Anderson I'm terrified that they may mess up season 3

[@gachaleaks8654]

why would u say that? what would happen/go wrong #not a manga reader

[@satriosukarji1777]

Kastela They tend to cut a noticable ammount from the Light Novel source material. One of the many good scenes they cut was the introduction of Nigredo, Albedo’s horror themed older sister, and a potential comedy scene they could’ve put in the anime. The scene in particular was how the guild members were first introduced to Nigredo when she was first made, and how they were all scared and shrieked (Ainz included) which made them all use some of their strongest 10th tier attacks.

[@badatmagic5042]

I appreciate you not going into spoilers c:

[@Kafufi.]

Season 3 waiting room..

[@dakotaadams5376]

Lonely Pixel same though.

[@ragnarick1229]

Rumor has it, It might be coming on 7th of July, so It's close enough for me. :)

[@mohdbakhtiar7289]

CoyoteSyndicate It's on 10th of July

[@endlesswaltz9051]

Wow!!!! So much info in such a small amount of time!! This is insane!! Keep up your good work!!🤙🏼

[@JasonGrey23]

What is overlord? is it worth watching??

[@HierapolisPhrygia]

It's worth watching and reading.

[@SilentKar]

Go watch NOW! and if you don't like the anime read the BOOK!

[@ThuggishDD]

its worth watching but most of all its worth reading. READ THE LN!

[@dakotaadams5376]

Jason Grey oh my God dude. It's so worth if u like video game turned real. But it's a thousand times better than Sao.

[@snowman9631]

The first season of the show is much better than the second, and I love the anime I have watched the first season over 10x and the second twice, but both pale in comparison to the LN (light novel) which has 13 volumes for a total of like 4-5000 pages and is still ongoing, the anime turned each season into 3 volumes each and the 3rd season will be volumes 7-9 which you can probably guess means they cut a lot of things which they do. I can not recommend this series enough the LN is pure gold and I honestly just have a smile on my face the whole time I’m reading it which I have read 3x and if the LN sounds scary just go watch the first 4 episodes on the anime, and be careful because you will spoil yourself if you go father but if you like the first 4episodes I recommend you go read the LN and then come bk to the anime

[@archimedeis]

If anyone wants to play and rpg like this, the closes one I've found is called B100X. It's available on PC, Andriod and IOS. There are about 30 different going from rank 1-3. Every item has data slots that can be fitted with attributes and tons of unique effects. Different dungeons with their own unique buffs/debuff and items. And it has story that's delivered along with your progression. The combat is auto so it's a bit like AFK games but I really recommend it.

[@KwaarNawald]

(UN)HOLY SHIT! This was great video. I'm intrigued by magic in new world as well.

[@dragonspring5932]

Woot woot new video, thank you for doing this. Keep up the great work.

[@AniNews]

Thanks for watching bud

[@mohdbakhtiar7289]

Bro, why you whispering so loudly

[@edgardelibojr.4450]

The hate system is invisible. that was why Bukubuku chagama-sama was so impressive because she can manage this invisible system so well

[@chrisadler8888]

A lot of these Metamagic feats were first used in D&D.

[@ericlanglois9194]

the Author of Overlord wrote the original web comic after his D&D group got too busy or left due to life... i.e. the beginning of Overlord. It's only natural he took a lot of inspiration from the game system he really enjoyed.

[@reginaldmustardbacon5866]

So basically Maruyama-sensei is Ainz if he didnt get teleported into new world?

[@papercat2599]

Yes it is based on D&D but there are also lots different things that makes them completely different game. Read the novel if you’re interested especially the setting for NW is more original

[@chrisadler8888]

Paper Cat Thanks I will :D

[@chrisadler8888]

I tried looking for it but never found it...little help?

[@UncleBlerd]

On THIS DAY you have earned a subscriber Sir!!

[@Dylangillian]

some things that aren't true or simpy never stated about things you said in this video: - It's never said you lose 5 levels on death, you just lose a certain amount. Nobody knows how much. - Skill points don't exist. You gained levels in Job/racial classes but you never get to allocate them as skill points. - third tier magic isn't available to most platinum adventurers. if you can cast the third tier you will at the very least be at platinum level - tier 4 isn't really orichalcum, the 4th tier is extremely rare in the New World and while it's true that some orichalcum's know this tier, most don't. - I don't think it's clear which tier Twin Dragon Lighting is, it's either 7th or 8th tier. - the max amount of spells you could learn is 300 (400 with cash items). Ainz learned more because of his Dark Wisdom skill. - Boost magic can also be used to make a 1st tier spell a 10th tier spell I believe.

[@c0pitos]

I'm pretty sure Nabe heavily implied Twin dragon lightning to be 7th tier, i'm pretty sure she stated its exact tier but i don't remember.

[@Dylangillian]

she says that skeletal dragons are immume to 6th tier and lower magic. Kahjit just assumes that means it's 7th tier magic casue 8th tier is unheard of.

[@nabinoorshahil2715]

My friend it is clear to me that you did not read the short stories did you

[@nabinoorshahil2715]

Well all of your questions can be answerd if you read the short stories and the dramas they aren't as good as the main story however they give a lot of world building.

[@Dylangillian]

i have read every single side story and novel 3 times.

[@Malevolous]

Nearing the start of season 3? They just had a screening for the first episode today! It’s here and I couldn’t be more stoked!

[@juliorosal9698]

The spells here are heavily based on the D&D game, hence the tier, this is good but otherwise useless They have been using it since ages past and not really unique

[@g3n086]

Love these breakdowns, keep up the amazing work

[@esaigonzalez8157]

I wonder if with that many spells if there's a super tier magic that could make Sword Art Online good... who am I kidding, there's no way magic that powerful exists 😂

[@c0pitos]

There's a spell called "wish upon a star" that on NW can make anything happen, but it is highly discussed which are it's actual limits. On the other hand there was also a WI of the twenty's that allowed a player to ask the developpers to change anything whiting the game, which would translate into re written reality on NW. So yeah, you could make SAO good, but it's too much fun hating on it xD

[@batmeme9349]

The ring will reject it cuz its too ugly to fix and the twenty's WI is impossible to get in the NW because it can only spawn in the YGGDRASIL game

[@c0pitos]

There's a DL who has one of the twentys (DDDL if i'm not wrong) he stole it from a player he killed

[@batmeme9349]

c0pitos yeah he probobly had one of the twentys but not sure that it was the ouroboros

[@c0pitos]

I think Ouroboros was already used on the game, so i guess it no longer exists.

[@Serpentking789]

1:49 A correction: I recall reading in the books that dying at less than lvl5 in YGGDRASIL would just reset your character to lvl1. The whole "disappearing from existence if too weak" thing is more a feature of resurection spells consuming "life energy" when used in the New World, though higher-tier resurrection spells consume less life energy than lower-tier ones, allowing one to bring weaker individuals back to life with less risk of the resurrection process turning their body to ashes (as theorized by Fluder Paradyne in volume 9 and demonstrated by Ainz himself on Neia Baraja in volume 13 of the light novels).

[@nabinoorshahil2715]

Serpentking789 carp you just spoiled volume 13 for me noooooooooooooooooooooooooo my life no longer has any meaning now good bye beutifull world

[@Vezoth56]

There are multiple things that happen in the 13th Volume. Don't lose hope. Believe in Ainz-sama. You can always also wait for the third season!

[@ThuggishDD]

Great content you deserved more subscribers tbh

[@housemouseshorts]

The amount of detail this writer put into this is astonishing god DAMN

[@rothang4698]

Bro your content is killer keep it up

[@freshmilk7122]

Ya know pre isekai Ainz/momonga is pretty nuts. Memorising 700 spells is one thing but being able to use it effectively makes it all the more difficult.

[@slevinchannel7589]

I do better.

[@Jakkaribik1]

So Like 700 Days where you Use 1 New Spell each Day And Remember It

[@notawaifu4589]

Overlord videos are the next "Is this a JoJo reference"

[@Hopebestman]

Yey , I play Hearthstone and i love Overlord.This video gets better and better.

[@CILinkzSpre3]

really want to see someone on RoyalRoad used that kind of Magic System :D not only your Classes but your Racelevel as well

[@blacklight8786]

Aaaaaaand we play the waiting game aggain xD Ahh... Great content!! Keep it up!!

[@backonlazer791]

As a game designer who is hoping to someday design fantasy RPG titles this is definitely interesting! Thanks KZbin for recommending something interesting for once!

[@Benjidabeast3]

Love your videos dude! Definitely the ones over overlord

[@lauridyt2375]

I’ve watched OL 8 times in a year cus just how good the plot and character is

[@regalhearts3944]

Great detail on the Super tier so op they break the game best part this game so diverse it’s nuts and makes since with all the rules and how you can stack levels

[@timon7095]

5:20 actually, 4th tier can only br cast by Paradyne's strongest apprentices and inhumans. EDIT: heroes and a few humans can cast it as well

[@Vezoth56]

And Nigun from the Sunlight Scripture (not really strong so other scriptures probably can cast same or higher) and by the leader of the Blue Rose.

[@monkgogimasedi5265]

@@Vezoth56 No he can't, the angel was sealed into a storage Chrystal. Which itself can store far higher tiered magic

[@Vezoth56]

@@monkgogimasedi5265 I believe I was talking about the Principality of Observation at the time rather than the spell sealing crystal, though after rechecking there's nothing stating its tier. Certainly above 3rd tier as no 3rd tier magic caster has summoned such an angel, and below sixth tier as the Holy Queen was a 5th tier magic caster who could summon one of the "Principality of..." angels. In otherwords, Nigun can cast atleast 4th tier by himself.

[@Nuion]

thanks for bringing this vid back!

[@benpaul787]

i would love to see the second part u mentioned there

[@casper5949]

The amount of detail in the lore in insane

[@StarboyXL9]

ITS HEEEERRREEEEE! God you have no idea how long I waited for this video! Was well worth it though, content of this quality is so hard to come by. I would give you some criticism/corrections, but looking in the comments seems everyone else has beaten me to it! :P

[@eiantala9200]

Overlord deserves over a hundred episode if you ask me

[@Twofix]

It makes sense. Good job explaining this.

[@marsa5266]

Great content, keep it up! Subbed btw ^^

[@BigWyrm67]

Overlord is way more deep and complex than most actual MMOs nowadays. I think the writers true calling in life was a game designer.

[@batmeme9349]

Dixie Normus this was actually just a part time job.

[@davidbeauchemin1840]

I think it's simpler to say: D&D 3.5 tier system +1 (Seeing as cantrips are at tier 1, and things like time stop are tier 10) Super magic would be Epic spells in D&D and the meta-magic feats also exist there. Spells in D&D are also cast with experience as a component. The death and resurrection in Yggdrasil works like negative levels in a D&D game. It's obvious that the author has experience with D&D and based his concept on it.

[@parallax7789]

The tier magic reminds me a bit of the circle magic from Mage the Ascension. The key difference being that instead of things like abjuration or arcane, they had sections like matter, spirit, and forces because of how OP you could make spells. That's right, I said MAKE spells because in Mage the Ascension, you literally make spells in the Hope's of becoming god.

[@pierreshi6102]

YAS DUDE PLEASE CONTINUE WITH OVERLORD. My dream would be to make Yggdrasil as a game yo... irl ofc

[@caseygray2328]

this is pretty interesting, i love learning about magic systems

[@Yorashy]

NOW you done it, i want to play this game now....

[@Nomo-sapiens]

you will need to wait like 100 years more
