Remember, Plum sword Full Bloom skill for crit dmg is buffing both the scythe and sword crit dmg. Skills/passives still apply for crit. If you use them individually though and when crit dmg is fixed, plum may do more

[@saqib8bp]

Hey payne I got moon dager A3 in my free to play account 😂 where is your's?

[@PayneBlade]

😂

[@pierredurand6799]

maybe i'm thinking when they fix crit damage plum is gonna be better than scythe because of the crit rate buff you get, thinking long term i rather invest in plum than scythe, nice content as always, have a good day ! :)

[@sguillen99]

What if you play on mobile holding the phone seems difficult to press both the dash and skill at the same? Seems like a pretty big oversight for a game that will have a very large mobile player base IMHO

[@PayneBlade]

@sguillen99 just gotta dash and 1 second later do the skill. U still have time but it's tougher to do

Damn, i always wondering what is that symbol above the skills as theres no any explanation about that, its mostly appear on dark skills, thank you so much for this information

[@animalistic6283]

The way I do thing with these 2 stuff is I use plum ult first then scythe as main weapon to burst and auto attack, and I want to stack plum buff 3x as soon as possible that way the stack is maxed and I do more damage in the lategame

[@JayJoStanAccount]

Does doing the dash and skill for Full Bloom also apply Plum Flower? Or Should you stack that up to the 3 stacks and then focus on using Full Bloom

Hi Payne I have both of them(plum and scythe) at A1 so which will do more DMG when crit DMG has been fixed. And will the a1 demon king sword get stronger?????

Will need to see at that point. Going to largely depend on your own crit dmg stats. Overall a1 scythe is better because 25% crit at 70% hp but u should use both when u can against dark

[@giovannidacchille2604]

You dont necessarly Need to hold both Dash and skill at the same time the important Is to skill really really soon After dashing, but if you are fast you even have time to Dash back to Dodge or to not overshot then turn and then skill and still get full bloom . I am sure of It cause i do It often.

Ya u don't need to for sure but it's the fastest way to activate it. U can definitely do it a second or 2 after

@@PayneBlade do you have any Tip to do full bloom while you are to close ? Cause the only way i found to not overshot Is the One i mentioned upper but you gotta be really really fast , and my hand hurt a bit every time i do It 😂😂😂

Lmao ya it's not the best mechanic but i always target opponent first before doing it and try to keep a distance so the camera doesn't mess me up and I don't overshoot. But it happens to me too

[@ZamoraJacob]

​@giovannidacchille2604 The easiest thing to do if you are too close is to hit the dash/dodge button without choosing a direction and you will flip backwards, which creates space

is it better to use th both or atleast one and moondagger or the ssr book as buff?

Depends on the fight tbh and the advancement of the weapons.

[@raiden3522]

Is the Plum Lore accurate? Why aren't the daggers SSR?

Plum sword is a dps/support weapon so it dont deal much dmg but if u pair with moonshadow or shadow scythe they deal massive damage

i see you are going to RIGHT HAND of dragon to do DMG.. is there a difference on witch HAND you go to or? cuz i go to LEFT HAND always.

[@marcelfab7551]

The scythe is more for single target Dps, the sword is better when it comes to mobs because the atk reaches behind the initial target.

[@Akash666999]

bro what , Scythe is a damn aoe circle. Literally carried me in wiping ch 15 mobs.

[@marcelfab7551]

@Akash666999 yes, but its more concentrated around you, sword is more like a cone or a lane moving away from you. Have not played with sword since LV20. Also, you can somewhat move and redirect scythe while holding the skill.

[@Manhwa-kun]

Will the permanent 25% more crit rate apply for the second weapon or for just scythe?? If it doesn't apply plum would be a better choice

[@PayneBlade]

Both. It's just a buff you get and it stays no matter what weapon u use. Don't forget at a5 scythe gives permanent 15% atk as well

@@PayneBlade eh i mean you don't use the weapon only for the skills tho

[@Smith0rz]

The first part where you do plum skill and then do shadow step Scythe is a bit unfair. On the second part when you do the first plum skill you don't crit vs the Scythe which you did. And again on the second time you use the plum on the second part, you don't hit the last hit of the plum which is 50% of it's damage. That being said, the scythe should do more damage when in this scenario, but 60% of the scythe crit damage when at 5 stacks of plum flower. Also while the scythe does 10% dark damage, the plum does 15. I hope the next video you do on this will be more neutral instead of properly using and stating 1 weapon and not even using the other one correctly.

[@Neno1017]
