Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris Lv999 Apostles 5 Star Weapons and drops

[@THENEOSARMY]

Hey bro, Nice vid, i just wanna ask something, do you have some content flor ppl that don't have the dlcs? Thanks

[@Introvice]

Thanks, hmm not too much. It would be my really old content. Like normal raids, extreme, Supreme Raids. I do intend to make a guide on a road map. As in what's needed from beginning to end of game. Beat game, unlock legendary blacksmith, do divine Beasts, craft weapons, then it would be normal raids, then extreme, maybe apostles/Shards then Supreme Raids. That's everything that is possible before DLC. Hopefully that helps a bit if you are a little lost. Don't forget unlocking important Animas, personas. Sheyta (Uptight), Fizel (Nimble), Bercouli (Born Leader) being the most important upon starting end game. I'll link you the spreadsheet I have. I'll continue to work on it and make sections for non dlc things too. I just haven't made the video because the last update will be coming out and many things will be changing. I'll make a guide in there too for everything needed early to late game. Dlc and non dlc. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ey4iaONfh4Z67cfUQ0HaZXxu_F6ZJoW7ZHDQU8OLih8/edit?usp=drivesdk

Wondering if I am fighting an ancient apostle thats like level 500. Then change the difficulty to hells game difficulty and it raises the enemy level to like 600 or even 700. Will I now get those level 600-700 treasure drops or will it stay on its original level 500 drops ?

[@sonicrebelxd6197]

Sorry this might be a stupid question but I just came back to this game sense 3 years ago and am getting back into it but how do u do the full attack on shining circular I only managed to do it like once is there a trick to it? Or is it a skill issue on my end XD

[@Introvice]

It varies on a few variables. It isn't a dumb question. About 95% of the players who played it couldn't do it. No one explained it and I never got around to it as it wasn't something really heavily requested. The main variables are what amount of speed you are using. This is the staple. In order to have consistency you must first pick a speed. Preferably from 85-100%. Once you have chosen that the next step is to pick a boss fight that has a decent amount of HP. In my case I practiced it on all apostles as I leveled them all up. If you feel they are dying too fast maybe tone down the weapons and use weaker ones or chain 1/2 into shine or change the difficulty (you can use DLC1 divine beasts too as they have a lot of HP). Don't forget you can refresh all the AI buffs by unequipping them and re-equipping them. So now you have a speed and boss chosen. Its muscle memory afterwards. The game claims there is a blue light but just like on hollow fragment if you see this light you are probably too late lol. Look for an animation. Double circular into level 2 is when both of the swords are nearly held all the way back. Learn this first. Try slight different inputs based on what speed you use. 85-95% is recommended to practice on to be able to see it at least initially. Level 2 into shine is nearly an immediate tap afterwards. Varies on speed. Animation is once the swords are getting closer to going down. Note that multiplayer vs offline are 2 different speeds and different inputs. So I don't recommend practicing them both unless you have mastered one. As the timing is quite different and it'll throw off your timing really hard. This is the short version of explaining it and hence why I didn't want to cover it as the effort I would put into it would have no return of barely helping anyone. Currently it depends who asks and the intentions. Most people in this community don't credit anything and or if answered will use the info and then make a video on it and claim it. Doesn't bother me but I'd rather always help others who want to have fun and actually play a game I enjoyed a lot. Hopefully it helped some. Practice it and you'll get it. AL honestly becomes very fun and addicting once you get shine down as the damage is comparable to the 2HS sword but takes a bit more skill.

@@Introvice wow ok I’ll work on that then I’m still figuring out the game and am learning a lot just got to around level 103? Something around there and am going through the second dlc the one after forget me not but hey thank u so much I will for sure work on it

[@Introvice]

@@sonicrebelxd6197 you are welcome. Good luck! Any questions feel free to ask. I know the game can be tough and sometimes info can be scattered or misinformation can happen.

Insane guide :)

[@Introvice]

Thanks, appreciate it! 😁

[@deusvlad2.083]

Why did you take out your free skill when pressing attack you get a free special attack. 1:01 under combo finish.

[@Introvice]

I don't use combo finishers. I take it off because I only use normal attacks for SP or high damage normal attack builds. So I always leave it off as it gets in the way more than it helps. At least for my playstyle. Hopefully that helps and makes some sense.

[@deusvlad2.083]

@@Introvice hmm interesting idea, wouldn't that limit the amount of combos you can perform though for the extra chain attack number?

[@Introvice]

@@deusvlad2.083 It doesn't limit the amount of combos nor anything of that sort. You can do a 5/5, 6/6 without a combo finisher. Having it or not having it doesn't make a difference. Doing normal attacks into sword skills if anything is less optimal as it takes longer to get to the skill that way. So I keep my normal attacks just for SP gain so I can go to sword skills after. Also your combo finisher uses your base gear. So the combo finisher is really weak. It's more of an inconvenience/interruption for me at least.

[@deusvlad2.083]

@@Introvice oh lol I didn't know m8 thanks

[@deusvlad2.083]

but getting them to 999 man that is a hassle thanks to stupid loading times is there a faster way to get them to 999?

[@Introvice]

Tell me about it lol It's a major hassle and pain. It is nowhere near worth doing. The 5 star weapons are nice but definitely not needed in any way. Technically you can farm the broken 4 star weapons at dlc2 Garuda although it would definitely take some time. If you were going end game it might be worth doing 1 apostle if you planned to play long term. I'd suggest you pick either your favorite character or a character to use for dlc2 supremacy NG+ (have to play as other characters) Best apostle to farm is probably tiese's Apostle. It's easy and at 300-500 you'll get XT light oak with domain if experts. Sinon's Apostle accessories are bad and bow itself isn't that good although her bow makes bow pretty good. Alice Apostle her weapon is probably the strongest but defense accessories and she's on your team so not necessary. Silica has an awesome debuffing dagger, accessories are bad. Slightly tougher boss but well you can get good debuffing weapons either way and stronger daggers. Ronie similar case to tiese strong weapon her accessories are good for skydancer though an update made the passive less frequent so don't really recommend anymore. Asuna her rapier is good but really bad accessories. Leafa's weapon is good and so are her accessories they are for debuffing but this has the longest load time so I don't suggest. Lisbeth has a good mace and decent accessory for in the moment+ but same as ronie an update made the skill less common. Hopefully that helps you pick if you were having that issue. As to load times there is no solution. Believe it or not it used to be even slower... So it is as fast as it can be. The one thing I can suggest is the fewer members you bring the faster it will load in. So if you bring in all 16 members it will take drastically longer. If you bring 3 AI characters it will load decent. Playing with a single AI is the fastest. So I suggest if it's easy for you to bring 1 AI and when it gets tough bring all 3.

@@Introvice Thanks for the information dood.

[@Yuwaethomas617]

Hey I forgot the main character can't use any of the swords other than the night skyblade right

[@Introvice]

Yeah only the character quest specific can equip it sadly.

[@Yuwaethomas617]

Please tell me is there any other way to get shards faster

[@Introvice]

@@Yuwaethomas617 I wish there was all the methods that exist currently are garbage. Just wait on the update honestly it should have some gme changing adjustments. That's why I haven't posted anything about best way of getting Shards because they all suck. Update hopefully will be soon. Until then it's just painful and not even fun to upgrade.

[@Yuwaethomas617]

Back to the grinding I quess

[@sephiroth1347]

Can i know why you are not using 3 unrivalled(weapon + armor + jade boots/sky boots)? 2 unrivaled +xt ring of curses has higher dps than 3 unrivaled?

[@Introvice]

TLDR: in short its capped at +4 lol It's not entirely about the dps it's that there's a cap. Unrivaled doesn't go past +4. I checked when it came out long ago and double checked to see if it changed when DLC2 came out but the cap remains the same. Before it was Armor and light Jade boot and it reached cap (+4). I tried armor and double stacked light Jade boot (+6) before dlc2 and same result. On double Circular it is a 2 hit move. With +4 it reaches to 10 damage hits on screen. Of course the counter will still only count 2. Now, with +6 (weapon, Armor, boot) (checked 10 minutes ago) it still only reaches 10 damage hits on screen. Which in theory if there was no cap it would be 14 damage hits and still count 2 relative of course. So that is why I use Ring of Curses and well I use it too because for most of the levels on apostles I only Buff with Main character and ReoNa. Raid gives 30%, passive of Ring is 30% which is enough but if I want to reach cap I do Tigers resolve and don't have to equip it on to skill passive and frees up a slot for extra dps. Now even if there was no cap +6 would be weaker than +4 in theory because of the loss of the passive. The big damage number still remains on the main 2 hits not the extra 6 or 8. Those numbers are way smaller so the big number needs to be boosted as much as possible the follow ups are just a nice add on to damage. Now of course there's the pursuit power to account for too but that's going too far into the math now. Hopefully that explains everything and more. Thanks for the interest in th Build!

[@sephiroth1347]

@@Introvice Thanks for your explanation. The only complaint I have is there is no armor/accessory with tiger resolve. I just bought the premium pass with 30% discount on ps4 and i shall slowly take my time to farm.

[@Introvice]

@@sephiroth1347 No problem yw. Yeah I agree. Sadly only a select few weapons have it. Comes down to making records with that specific class and Buff with characters like sinon or a katana user or dagger user. Not many options and sinons 5 star not having it didn't help either that's probably my biggest issue with her gear that her old Bow was better. But that's awesome though. Definitely the your time and have fun and update is right around the corner so hopefully something decent gets added in the dungeon lol
