[Solo Leveling: Arise] - SKADI REVIEW! GRIMOIRE COMPARISON & BREAKDOWN

[@Sukenus]

I think you're grossly underestimating the Grimoire's A5. Think of a scenario where you use the Grimoire skill first, then you immediately use your ult and for example West Wind's skill (ideally all of it after a Shadow Step). Both of those will get buffed by 50% and then you'll deal the extra 10% of that combined damage on top of it. So all in all, A5 Grimoire should be the best burst damage weapon in the game by a long shot (unless some weapon can beat that).

[@PayneBlade]

Not grossly underestimating it at all. I use it more than most other weapons. Just giving u guys the test results

[@Sukenus]

@@PayneBlade Well I tried to explain why Skadi's A5 can't possibly beat Grimoire's A5. Not the weapon as a whole, just that advancement.

[@Valentair]

@@Sukenus While I agree with your point, the scenario that you stated is pretty hard to execute for the majority of players of the game. Many players of the game are not hardcore games. They are average players that won't be able to use the grimoire to its full potential, let alone pull it to A5. Case in point: the buff in Cha; why would they buff an already broken unit? Because they got the data from the majority of people and they are struggling with content even with Cha. Skadi of course also has the luck component of pulling it. But Skadi itself seems to be easier to use and would be so for a majority of the people. As such, while the grimoire may be in certain cases superior, our guy Payne is creating content for a majority of the people. Of course his data talks, but he should also be presenting things that are realistic and not idealistic to the average Joe, which is exactly what he did.

[@Sukenus]

@@Valentair Your point is fair, but since we're talking about A5 from the start, it can't apply to the majority anyway. And I believe our boy Payne is making content for any player, be it casual, hardcore, f2p or whale.

I love this game for the fact that you have to build dif teams and strategies including weapons, skills, hunters etc. Either if pure dmg of breaker needed As time keeps going in the game more "broken" stuff will come out its normal Tbh i changed grimoire for plum sword and moonshadow combo Feels so good even tho only have plum sword A1

[@ladyjeit1380]

that combo is so overrated, damage is low :/

[@mrcringe8286]

@@ladyjeit1380it only works with moonshadow A1 without that that weapon isn’t that good but the plum sword is stable for the amount of grit damage that it provides you and at A3 it becomes a lot stronger

[@AVS69]

Shadow step + grimore freeze+shadow monarch domain blessing + jinho ult you can cast all of the effect in just 2.5 sec and it destroys the anime if your poer is in white and you have elemental advantage.

[@sandythamtono2081]

The skadi deal 100% mod or 500%(A5) when it activate And it deals 50% mod dmg with a cooldown of 0.5 sec for 7 second. So if you attack inside the domain for every time cooldwon is up you will deal like 600% modifier attack. So it pretty much deal 700% more modifier to the enemy unless A5. Which is 1200% which is less if you dont spam rapid attack during it But its not like grimoire where it just straight buffs the attack by multiplying the modifier of the atack you do while dealing 10% of all of it during freeze So grimoire has a potential to do more damage when you do a lot of dmg during the freezing. With all the buffs on it which is 24% A1 and 20% A3 and the 20% from the A5 Just with one 2000% modifier hit during grimoire effect will certainly do more damage than skadi. Not to mention if you ult during it on top of it Also you dont have to bring a weapon you can bring SJW elemental skill

[@PayneBlade]

I did the testing with a buddies account and the a5 hit way hard with skadi due to high atk stat because it's based off jinwoos overall atk. The grimoires 50% more dmg didn't do more when using it and another weapon and that's most likely due to the fact that skadi also adds Def pen and atk up stacks. It may all make sense on paper but it translates different in game

[@sandythamtono2081]

@@PayneBlade but considering SJW might be able to do 2 ultimate during a big fight and how shadow can also be used twice during ult and break that might bridge the gap quite a bit using the 20% total dmg reflect with the book

YOH PAYNE DO A SHOWCASE WITH MOON N SKADI COMBO SEEMS GODLIKE

[@ryanbeamer4022]

It is I have both and they work amazing together but the real combo is the skadi and the plum sword. The plum sword is so OP I have it at lvl 40 and it does almost the same damage as the skadi I have at lvl 60

[@mrcringe8286]

@@ryanbeamer4022you seem new the weapon level doesn’t matter your attack stats is the most important so let’s say you have 10k attack then your skadi and plum will deal the seam damage ofc levelling both of them will increase attack which means more damage but you can use a low level weapon with a high level but both will deal the same damage

[@CaptainMeow24]

I just got 2 copies of skadi and i looked at KZbin if it is good or not well i guess it's good so I'll be using it for now

[@JiyuuNK]

I personally prefer grimoire than skadi at A0 and or A1. And ofc, use both to rocking water BRRRTTTT

[@Agent_Alpha_SLV]

The elemental weakness is a bit weird. Same as the Weakness Detection blessing stone, i saw a really good speedrunner (TyPal) said that that rune works on every boss that has an elemental weakness, and you don't have to use that element to get the bonus dmg. You just get it automatically regardlesd of which weapon u use. So can u do some testing on this? Thanks!

[@PayneBlade]

I asked him and he said enemy has to have elemental weakness so he isn't sure why that info was misheard

[@Abid_Al_Mahmud]

As a f2p player, it's almost impossible to have A5 with any weopons, especially SSR. I think you should also do a separate video on Jinwoo's weopons with no dupes cause most f2p players ( including myself ) doesn't have dupes for Jinwoo's weapons. Btw love your videos❤

[@ladyjeit1380]

use sr bow,orb and sniper if you have them, if enough advencements they destroy every ssr weapon with 0 and even 1 dupes

[@Starry-kun]

Yeah. I can only go to A1 so far. Scythe is A2 cuz of free copies

Hey Guys, do you also feel that we get higher Points for the Dragon fight? Since yesterday, the new patch, the number increased for sure about 20% +-. Reached on Fire~190M yesterday and today 210M,. Way more. Water was my best fight and 2days ago i had around 160M. Maybe they nerfed Dragon and i did´t saw it on patch notes. Would like to hear your opinion. Also Payne did, as he said way more, and i doubt it´s from Vulcan buff^^

Well, they buffed all the SSR hunters. That's prolly your answer.

[@ladyjeit1380]

I think if you want to do a real comparison you have to say everything Example, on "power of destruction" with grimoire you can attack both claws with the skill, and you have 3 hunters attacking with you so 10% of all that damage you gonna do on 4s is a huge amount that i highly doubt you gonna get with skadi

[@PayneBlade]

One game mode and how u use the weapon isn't going to dictate overall usage tbh. Overall skadi does more in all other content

[@ladyjeit1380]
