(Pre balance hotfix) Magister Lab Invasion Speedrun 2min 16s run | The First Descendant

[@DylanBufferman]

Updated run timing after balance hotfix: imgur.com/a/qLCIsky Afterglow build used: imgur.com/a/cAhBA2V My build was inspired/crafted by this content creator \/ Link to Hakei's speedrunning bunny build guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2PaZIiXfdKsfNE

Never thought about grapple and cooldown effect. Very nice find, well done. You have Mid-Air on as do I and now cannot ever give it up its so cool. Having a cooldown effect on it will make it better. Build is nice and really want to try this but if I have different symbols how easy is it to change using the new system? I get we can add more but how many and is there is system too it like if you have a M then you can only add certain other types to it?

[@DylanBufferman]

@@JarredHumphries-vh3ps Its a good time to farm exp and catalyst stuff now due to how generous they are with giving out exp boosters right now. tfd.nexon.com/en/news/2631846 For your question on adding different polarities to a mod slot, you can add any polarity to a mod slot and that mod slot can later be adjusted to whichever polarity you have catalyzed it with before. Eg, if you have a Malachite, you can catalyst it with Almandine, Rutile, or Xantic with no restrictions.

[@JarredHumphries-vh3ps]

@@DylanBufferman Yes and also glad they last the whole season inside the mailbox because I cannot keep up using them with how often they are giving them.

[@DylanBufferman]

@@JarredHumphries-vh3ps hi there, sorry for the false info previously. Cooldown DOES NOT affect grapple charge time, but it does affect roll cooldown.

Love my EC setup, so underused. I have a monster HV build as well but its just overkill and hits less ads at a time for most content. Glad to see someone showcase this

[@CasualTS]

Oh nice, when you mentioned Hakei I was thinking he had an EC build too. Small world, haha! I like finding new content creators from recommendations of quality people, it's working a lot better than KZbin's typical algorithm which throws a lot of low-quality stuff at you. I do like the typical High Voltage build a bit better since it gives you more damage, range, and faster cooldown in just the one transcendent mod. It's hard to beat. But this is a nice alternative and I've seen people using this to run Environment Contamination Zone and it works well there as there are so many mobs in places that HV gets overwhelmed with targets. One difference is the HV build can also be used as a decent boss killer for those who don't have juiced guns yet.

[@khoamama88]

Nah, the star of the show is definitely the Sniper.

[@alexossan2829]

Yeah. It's not the Bunny build that matters. It's the sniper rifle. The only obstacle in this invasion is the boss HP, which combined with his two tracking abilities that force you to take cover, reduces the time you have to take him out. So all that really matters in this invasion is a very high dps weapon, i.e. the Afterglow Sword with 11 catalysts, energy activator, maxed out UA, that is used to practically delete the shield and take down 95% of boss HP with just 5 shots.

[@PäiviYevheniy]

@@alexossan2829 I have the sniper and it's pretty RNG whether you can kill the bosses in one clip. Enduring Legacy though, 5/5.

[@DylanBufferman]

My bunny build is not used for doing damage to bosses, its to get me to the end of the dungeon as fast as possible due to EC giving an extra 20% boost that can be stacked with SOL. I tried going HV+gun as well but it doesnt net as fast clear times compared to going EC + gun. Using a HV build brings you to the boss room at round 1:50 - 2mins, compared to using EC, you reach the boss room at 1:30ish from what I’ve tested. That is a whopping 30 second difference.

[@duaynecollins9994]

I finally started being able to beat these. I just had to get my gun upgraded correctly. Thunder Kitty for the win.

[@Nomad-Dave]

Yet 'another' Ultimate Bunny run showing that really you need only pay out for this character and forget the rest.

[@Madulpix]

nice guide as always

[@Madulpix]

waiting for VERSATILE Ultimate bunny guide too ♥

[@suriil9875]

I was looking on this mod A LOT....

[@SenEvades]

matched your time 2min 16sec as well

[@CasualTS]

Nice!

[@petro095]

Got Hailey on day 5, and now have absolutely no reason to do gold runs

[@Selenium117]

But you didn't share the most important thing, the Sniper build. I can clear the invasion mission easily with bunny but the boss. What matters the most is the Sniper build, the bunny build is secondary.

[@DylanBufferman]

Sorry for not including it in the video. I'm not focusing on clearing the mission easily, I'm chasing for clear time efficiency which is speedrunning as fast as possible. Afterglow build: imgur.com/a/cAhBA2V

[@lov.2.g]

Agree

[@one2dad575]

Is this record showing anywhere? You said it is world record so wanna if i can see the records.

[@CasualTS]

It would be nice if TFD had leaderboards for dungeon runs and stuff

[@UltraStyle-AI]

Everyone knows Bunny is OP. Maybe post an Enzo build that can do these in 2 minutes? How about Ajax? Luna? /s

[@PäiviYevheniy]

What do you even need the explosion for in these missions? Everything but the boss dies in one fart from bunny and you just gun down the boss anyway, lol. Superconductor would be better as it theoretically debuffs the damage of enemies. I personally leave the spot open to have space for HP amp on a flex slot. Can easily mano a mano the boss.

[@DylanBufferman]

@@PäiviYevheniy I’m not using electric condense for the damage, its for the speedboost to achieve faster clear times on the dungeon. Electric condense gives a 20% speedboost which can be stacked with speed of light’s 50%. Thus giving you a total 70% boost. I tried to compare using HV and EC in terms of clear times, EC has a faster clear time compared to using HV in my experience

[@evilkonkarne74]

You used Ultimate bunny, shocker.

[@lov.2.g]

Bro im sorry to say...the role of the sniper is more important then ur bunny build...the build is interesting but the sniper was the main reason the dungeon was cleared

[@usersname16]

its a shame people are looking at the video as a “Guide on how to clear invasion easily” instead of looking at it as a speedrun video which was the purpose. I was telling everyone weeks ago that electric condense is the best augment for bunny when u wanna clear missions fast compared to HV due to it giving an extra ms boost. This guy literally proved it… People are literally allergic to guns when building bunny in this game. The game allows you to use both guns and descendant abilities when doing missions or anything, why limit yourself to descendant abilities only? Its equivalent to having 2 hands but u force yourself to only use 1 hand to do stuff.

[@lov.2.g]

@@usersname16 its not the best ....its just an altetnative to hv....hv is still better because its easier to build and yield better result...not much theory crafting also ...not to mention you just want to speed farm content....so you dont need to follow his guide ...you could make another build bionic fuel for example....but based on this video , i dont see anything special with electric condense ...the only thing that allow him to clear fast was the sniper

[@usersname16]

@@lov.2.g u’re forgetting the fact that electric condense gives u an extra 20% speedboost and you keep the mobbing ability of your normal lightning emission where you’re not limited to hitting 3 targets. Say, give you a scenario where you are given 1s to kill 10 mobs. Normal lightning emission > HV due to how HV is limited to 3 targets. Even with normal lightning emission and without building crit u still 1-2hit mobs. 90% of any dungeon is mobbing and with the example I gave above, going normal lightning emission > HV. The only part where HV outscales Electric condense build is when you reach the bossing area, but this is easily fixed by just using your gun to shoot. Yes, HV lightning emission can hit a range of 27m when u max out on range. However, electric condense giving that 20% speed boost allows you to travel faster to hit the enemy so it makes up for not having 27m range on lightning emission when compared. HV bunny is only more useful in colossus and against red hp bosses…than again just use your gun to shoot if you’re running electric condense build to make up for it. No point to run bunny in colossus as well when u can go hailey, lepic or enzo to kill the boss much faster. As I’ve said before, don’t know why are people allergic to gunplay. 2 hands to use but wanna be handicapped.

[@lov.2.g]

@@usersname16 you are quite wrong....with hv you are much better with gun play also...hv is literally making ur range reach 27 meter and with that range ...any gun will work in any scenario...not to mention the damage u deal in those 3 hits are the maximum amount of damage...so in any mobbing scenario with or without guns , you still own...electric condence is just a good alternative....nobody is gonna switch to that ...not to mention the delay in switching...not worth it ...if its about the gun then hv does the same result....stick to hv is better ....its ok you can stick to lower tier build, nobody is stopping you ...unless you have allergy to high tier build

[@usersname16]

@@lov.2.g HV build doesnt let u run through the whole dungeon as fast. Do you need that much damage to clear the mobbing part of dungeons? No you don’t. For the 27m part on HV, addressed that in my previous comment. So just invest into speed instead by going electric condense. This is something you’re clearly not getting. Why do you need to hit 500k or 1m crits on mobs that only have like 100k hp.

[@aesonica]

so the secret is to have ultimate bunny

[@CasualTS]

This is the (not so) secret to the whole game in Hard Mode. If you don't have Ultimate Bunny, get her, then come back and watch this guide.
