The First Descendant | Infernal Walker Solo & Public Matchmaking Guide | How to Fight Him!

[@GabeDarksmiller]

Nice video. I love how you show how a typical IW fight will go, warts and all. So many of these curated videos with flawless runs set unreal expectations of how an average fight will turn out. Your video allows for planning and reacting when things don't go perfectly.

[@RealAsianRobot]

Yup that's what I prefer to do. If I cannot replicate things and also teach others to replicate them. Then my content is essentially a failure. If I want to be the best guide for this game, then that means showcasing reality even if it's not pretty 😁👍

Was not ready for the character accent 😂

[@RealAsianRobot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Another tip to make hailey safer vs infernal walker is you can shoot through walls with your storm snare. Even with infernal walker's strongest attacks a single pillar will soak up at least 50% of the damage he does since they have to destroy the wall before they get to you. Peaking over the side so you can see is fine so you can use internals' huge hitboxes to your advantage but he still might clip the side of you sometimes.

[@RealAsianRobot]

I'll have to try it the next time I'm on stream keke. This sounds fun

[@w1mark275]

@@RealAsianRobot Having played infernal some more, Absolute zero viessa is just way more reliable. I personally can average about 3 minutes on him with Viessa, What makes viessa so good for the fight is your frost road allows you to have more momentum on your grappling hook which makes the timing of your dodges just so much easier, it also allows you to get uncomfortably close to infernal walker without getting punished for it so that you can use your cold snap on IW's legs. Hailey on the other hand is just constantly harassed by IW's cluster rockets that you can barely get any openings where it's truly safe to use your skills. For viessa I don't really even use clairvoyance that much, I just cycle out my skills and use the minions to refresh my mp. Maximize conservation seems to help a lot, I feel like chill integration might be good on IW because of crit resistance, but I am mainly just using it as I don't really care to crystallization catalyst again.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@w1mark275 Viessa is comfortable in general. Hailey is faster but basically more risk for more reward

Zenith fires two shots. One is skill based and one is weapon based. So having the right mods on your perforator helps a lot. Using Slow art for example gives 62% extra damage on that second hit, and Zenith has a set firing rate which isn't affected by the -25% fire rate

[@ryderjj89]

I mostly stick with this fight solo until more people understand that you have to keep moving if he's on you. People go down constantly, and you can't stop to pick people up unless he's distracted.

[@RealAsianRobot]

Yup, I don't mind the team fights, on my server the randoms 90% of the time know what they're doing.

[@swaggy2game]

Taking off fire rate on clairvoyance helps be able to use it longer and doesn’t burn through ammo as quick

[@stevemiller1268]

Yeah but if u runnin super cooled plasma u wanna get that stack up to 20 asap

[@roykiefer-tr1dr]

The only problem with the void abyss boss for me is the ticket rewards, you only get 4 per run (I have gotten 10 and a 11 but only twice since my over 30 plus runs). And the shop for the item and each character is 300 per one. This boss is really difficult for most myself included, but just because the very minimum can 5 sec the boss solo doesn't mean the rest if us should get low rewards because it was "too easy" for them. Most of us spend a little under 5 minutes or more on this boss because of his damage (especially in his rage mode).

[@RealAsianRobot]

I feel you, it's why I showed the more realistic situation. With average play a under 2 minute solo is possible, but team based fights are usually better for the majority IF you follow my builds. If I team fight, most fights are between 50 seconds to 2 minutes, which is generally very good and less boring overall. Hopefully this helps. But yeah, the rewards are low and not all that fantastic.

[@ader701220]

Tried full tank Freyna build sadly you can’t face tank it even have 35+ shield and guns are ineffective against it but Ajax(200% red mod) he can spam his 1 and 4 and take everything it throws at you, turns out the fastest way to farm this one is using Ajax and team up with a Hailey xD

[@RealAsianRobot]

Well the best choice is just be Viessa or Hailey. My fastest runs were usually when we had 4 Haileys all of equal skill. 1 eould be sacrificed but 3 haileys hitting hard makes the boss die easy

[@somfplease]

viessa solo is my go to. even without clairvoyance. she's just fun and consistently gets 2min runs and I am average skill.

[@NorrMele]

Thank you!

I solo it with Hailey in a cheese spot which the boss couldn't nuke me 😂

[@RealAsianRobot]

I don't use that because it's unfair haha

[@AxomeV10]

sad they are rotating the bosses out, thought they were just adding Defiler in and keeping IW

[@RealAsianRobot]

I think we should wait and see, we don't know if it's going to be that way yet and if it is, we should complain. They should not be vaulting content when they don't have enough.

[@somfplease]

Isn't infernal walker being replaced/removed next week for the new boss?

[@Dololomo]

what is the best way to get the Crystallization Catalyst Blueprint? I've been trying to build but I always run out.

[@RealAsianRobot]

Just farm any infiltration operation with my bunny build and then open them at the Colossus

[@SmartOps1]

Can you please tell me which one is better for Hailey ( Nazeistra's Devotion, Piercing Light or Perforator ?? ) i already have builds for both Nazeistra and Piercing! Can u summarise the difference please!

[@RealAsianRobot]

@@SmartOps1 Nazeistra is trash. Use either Perf or Piercing light. Perf is for spamming. Piercing light is heavy Precise damage. That's it pretty much Make sure you're only using my builds though or you may have a rough time.

[@lordmar9077]

i like fighting him with teams but i hat when i get a bad team, some people do not res others its like they forgot we will loose on death counts.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@lordmar9077 Yeah I feel the same haha. I enjoy fighting him in teams 😁👍

[@billvanrassel6441]

I find that I need more HP (like 23K HP or 2-HP mods) to beat IW reliably. However, for me at least, the fight is, not even in the slightest way, enjoyable (just way too sweaty). Oh well, I think I am beginning to understand why the TFD player count continues to drop.

[@RealAsianRobot]

Just takes practise tbh, it's not too bad once you get it right

[@alexianonyme2726]

The only thing he didn’t tell you, is that the infernal walker will go away on the 16th to be replace with Defiler

[@OneTato]

I hate this fight. Died so much to get geared to try for the back pack and just failed... I can almost solo him with ciessa but if failed 14 400% In a fing row trying to lvl hailey... then my friends quit...

Hailey is better

[@RealAsianRobot]

Use whichever you prefer, I use both

[@damousx6860]

You do NOT need skill insight for Hailey, you're just wasting potential damage tbh

[@RealAsianRobot]

@damousx6860 the choice is yours my friend. You might THINK it's not necessary, but I've done several tests where I've checked the difference between 100% crit rate and 85% crit rate. The fact is my kill times are better with 100%. If you believe you do not need skill insight, by all means, please use whatever else you want to increase your damage further. However, if you genuinely test for 4 to 5 hours of killing the same colossus. You will notice 100% yields better results.

[@damousx6860]

@@RealAsianRobotthe thing is, the boss already has crit res so adding 2 skill insights is just wasted damage imo, you cannot crit 100% of the time him him even with 100 percent. You’re better off using maximize conversion OVER dangerous ambush as well but I do really think running her skill insight is an overall net less

[@RealAsianRobot]

@damousx6860 Yes, we are all aware of the Crit Resistance. But I'm saying again, test it yourself. For me, there was a clear difference. If you feel there is no difference for you, then by all means, use what works for you. There are many folks that swear by the 85% limit on crit and that's fine. I make no bones about that. But when we tested it, we had a difference in the kill times that caused me to reconsider the skill insight module. Hence why I run it.

[@damousx6860]

@@RealAsianRobotAnd I know you’re not doing a perfect run but my average runs tend to be 1:16 with a death cuz I’m bad, we def have different builds which is okay but I just jumped on and do 14mil with the one shots and around 5.6* mil per shot with the sniper assuming I don’t be awful and miss or get the pillar bug.

[@RealAsianRobot]

@damousx6860 nice. I can get below 1 minute average if I really bother trying, but I prefer not to show that as it's riskier and also less guaranteed (but I tend to use that on stream because it saves time. Good runs are like 30 seconds, but the bad ones around 1:30, with 1 or 2 death)
