The ULTIMATE Dungeonborne Beginners Guide - A Complete New Player Introduction To Dungeonborne

[@elevenade]

i like how short and on point these are. Good job!

[@SynystarYT]

Thank you 🤘

[@souheilotsmane9441]

I hope this game will get more popular tbh

[@SynystarYT]

@@souheilotsmane9441 Free game, great anti cheat, great development path, replay value is Insane, Dark souls and Diablo style build crafting with extraction looter logic. I mean what’s not to love? It’s basically Dungeons and Dragons the video game inspired with some of the best fantasy game mechanics. I’d just tell everyone you game with about it and have them watch this to have a smooth start 🤘🏻

[@unyieldingtv3930]

Liked, subbed, followed AND shared with my stepson who just got me in to the game. Thank you!!!

[@SynystarYT]

Total W guys happy to hear it! I really appreciate that! If you have any questions at all just ask, I got more guides in the works 🤘

[@adamjarvis8202]

Thanks for this. Just conmenting for the algorithm, this guide deaervea it

[@FancyKerbloops]

The thief seems really really good. Being able to scout things out, and paralyze. Almost every encounter is optional, if you're solo anyway.

[@SynystarYT]

Rogue is very good at picking fights and disruption. One of my favorite strats for Rogue is to flank enemy casters, petrifying the high damage classes like Fighter and Deathknight and singling out the caster killing them and taking their loot before retreating away for a later strike.

[@SneakingMOUSE]

Just wait until you run into a swordmaster that has the 50% damage reduction breakpoint...

[@SynystarYT]

@@SneakingMOUSE SM will catch a Petri too for the same reason 🤣

[@amoineau]

I started as a rogue in solo and had such a bad time, just dealing with PvE was very hard. I tried several other classes after that and found them so much easier. Rogue is probably great for PvP and in group, but it's really not that good as a solo. It's so squishy and doesn't have that much damage or mobility when using starting gears.

[@SynystarYT]

@@amoineau Rogue is actually one of the best PVE classes. If you kit into strength and Dex you can cloak on kill, use the cloak to get behind the next AI and stun it with backstab, revealing you from cloak and then backstab again to kill it and reactivate the cloak. Essentially keeping you invisible. If you kit far enough into Dex you get a speed boost in cloak and this will allow you do drop AI for a sneaky attack on players and then pop cloak for a speedy get away 🤌🏻

[@Klowd9888]

Did you do another vid about the recent update? This would've helped me a lot if i looked it up before i spent 60+hrs lol😂. Very detailed and not rambling to much while explaining. Great vid for the beginner. Kudos 👏

[@bobsteave1236]

Thanks dude. I hit that like button . perfect vod to watch as I was installing the game. My boomer ass has played all the souls games, chiv 1 and 2 for 1000's of hours and feel like getting in with these damn zoomers and there extractions

[@SynystarYT]

Theres a pvp mode where gear isnt lost for TDM and best of 7. Just high level pvp fights

[@goblin_emperor]

Really good guide! Straightforward and easy to understand!

[@SynystarYT]

I appreciate that!

[@Eseerrowez]

So another note to make. Armor groups. Plate - Fighter, Deathknight Leather - Swordmaster, Rogue, Druid Cloth - Priest, Pyro, Cyro. Each of these groups give certain kinds of bonuses as equipment base stats. Plate. Gives Max life and Physical damage increase on almost all pieces. Its really straight forward Leather - It a mix. 3/5 will give max life, but there is no phsical damage increase instead its crit damage increase. The gloves give a unique bonus + weapon damage, and the boots give a bonus to movement speed (which is unique only to leather) Cloth - Another mix. Some pieces give elemental damage, others give just damage. Some give max life, some give resistance or crit chance instead. There is also secondary effects on the weapons as well. Grey bonuses that come with the weapon itself. Example one handed swords give crit chance, daggers and crossbows give crit damage, two handed swords give damage. Maces give max life. Staves give elemental damage. These bonuses apply to the whole kit weather you have them in your actual hand drawn or not DO NOT LEAVE A WEAPON SLOT EMPTY. You will be missing out on stat gains as well as bonuses.

[@SynystarYT]

@@Eseerrowez I agree, this is good information, thank you for this! The plate armor bit was just an example to “introduce” this system in general as this video is targeted at players who have never heard of DB or are just getting into it. I have plans to cover this in a more advanced guide on armor, affixes and kitting at later date and this information will be shared in depth when that video drops 🤘🏻

[@robert_2866]

nice, i now have good interest to try this game out. pm any dissord, interest to find people to party with. I like priest class.

[@TiredEyeBags]

Im a new player and a tip i learned for figuring out if a cheat is a mimic or not is if you ping it and the ping is blue then its a normal chest. If the ping is red then it's a mimic. I've gotten some early and fast strikes on many mimics this way

[@Wizardbeard91]

Came over frim dark and darker a few nights ago havent even opened up dark and darker since

[@heresjohnny4878]

Crazy good guide dude

[@SynystarYT]

Thank you! This was my first true attempt at guide style content so that really means a lot. Feel free to ask me anything. I plan to make further guides involving common questions and progressing with this growing community of DB as the questions evolve until we have no questions my content can't cover 🤘

[@heresjohnny4878]

@@SynystarYT I have a question actually. Do you know if special effects on equipped crossbow, such as Max dmg increase on kill, still applie to kills with my other weapon? It works like that with midas touch ig. I am very curious about which modifiers on weapons and armor are best for each class. Do you have any other guide on that?

[@TheMrSpencerific]

Great vid! thanks Syn, downloaded late last night, didn't really read or know what was goin down beyond "Skyrim-Tarkov", but loved every minute of it. With this, i'm going to have some more fun.

[@lukedavis3408]

5:10 All units can be healed by health potions/ bandages/ holy magic. I thought the same as you did, and was very wrong. Priest can heal, shield, and revive you.

[@SynystarYT]

Oh really I'll have to give that a try. As far as I'm aware the Undead race cannot be effected by holy magic

[@ganael2000]

Holy... How do you get 9999 of each mineral?

[@SynystarYT]

LOL OH. The section on Heirlooms uses the devs reveal trailer footage for Heirlooms, so they had really high ore counts probably to test its functions. I started this edit between The Final Playtest and Early Access Launch so I used what footage I had to explain its functions since I could not access the game. If you want counts like that, you can sell gear for gold via the auction house, use the excessive gold to buy up cheaper blue and green gear when its selling low and smash it into heirloom materials as a way to covert gold into heirloom crafts.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Wow, thank you for making this guide! This has got to be the hands down best guide I have come across. I think I will be picking up Dungeonborne as a staple after this.

[@nicolaspereyra420]

Bruh this is way better than dark and darker (at least to me), and many ppl were saying that it was a cheap knock off. It has everything that the game should have, including a training room (question, can you fight monsters there?) and a pvp mode I do have to say that I am not the biggest fan of heavy attacks and the rock paper scissors style of combat (is it somewhat similar to for honor?), but it's not a big issue since you have other options Hey, do the magical weapons have power and light attacks too? I really think that this game should have more support classes, a bard maybe? I hope that they add more classes/skills in the future I am excited to try this game

[@BuriedInInsanity]

Great beginner guide, my dude :D Keep that good work up, and I would like to see an in depth guide to the cryomancer

[@j.d.4697]

*BEGINNER TIP:* From what I could test there is matchmaking based on gear, so keep going in with grey gear for a while until you get the hang of it, then go in with what you find, but don't craft or buy the best gear you can because it won't give you an edge, it will only match you against better-geared and more experienced players.

[@SynystarYT]

I don't believe there is gear based matchmaking. I have seen plenty of 30 gear level players while being only sub 9 gear level. 0-9 is "Casual' while 9+ offers you "Classic" mode with harder enemies and more rare loot spawns. If you queue into that at the lowest level you'll see purples anyways. But if you go casual there is not much reward to risk such high status kits unless you are boss hunting IMO so I think in general you'll just see more grey just because of that. I could reach out to the team for more concrete information, but I do not believe its the kind of system you mentioned.

[@doggiethepug]

Amazing beginners guide. I'm hitting 25 hours of playtime soon but I have been struggling with the PvP part of the game. Heck, even the skeletons and goblins cause me some trouble, losing my health and usually not having any healing, when I go in with default broken gear. I've been watching PvP videos where players barely loot each other. I'm unsure how they got that far without engaging with mobs and looting the map. Sometimes I do wish the game was just a co-op PvE so I could crawl the dungeon playing with my brother. PvP as an uexperienced player seems way too fast and unbalanced and unfair. Great video, im checking the channel for more dungeonborne 👍

[@SynystarYT]

Yo thanks! I have allocated content for AI coverage and survival for all Monsters, Elites, and Bosses on both Casual and Classic difficulties. Will probably be a Monsters video, Elites video and Bosses video explaining all move-sets and then showcasing successful takedowns. My mic has been messed up but I'm fixing it today and I should have the content out within the next week or two 🤘

[@SynystarYT]

If you queue with exactly 0 Gear Level in your character stats menu, by not equipping anything green or higher, you'll actually get matched with other gear level 0 players and lobby with have minimal or no opposition containing only gear level 0 players. Level 0 is its own bracket. Hope that helps! I learned this fully this past week.

[@worgmaniashenanigans2702]

First and foremost, good job with the guide. Alot of new players will be thankful 😇 Since u recommended the Swordmaster for new players, could u elaborate on how to sustain your abilitys. I found it rlly weird going into a dungeon using my Q twice and not having any abilitys left for the rest of the run. Do you just buy a full inventory worth of swords ?

[@Wizardbeard91]

I load up my 4 equipped slots and get 8 more swords I only use abilities on players and sometimes bosses you can bring an extra 8 swords to be able to use more abilities but the real key is only using them when you need them

[@walczak9862]

I wish cryomancer had their own type of ice staff

[@Mecanotech]

Hey i am very curious about something. You said the swordmaster is the best class when you have no gear, BUT every skill consumes swords and they are not that easily available to pick up. And then again, what do i do ? Stash swords just so i can use my skills, and then equiping them every time the cooldown is up ? Am i missing something here ?

[@SynystarYT]

Its one of the best classes to start on because of all of its forgiveness. SM is an elf, so they can cloak when crouched hiding from AI and players, healing while cloaked and having some of the best mechanics in the game like 2H sword with parry, The E is a damage reduction AOE sword that protects you and the Q is natural range not needing to buy a crossbow. In the event you die, its costs you nothing to have all this utility again. This is SM base kit. That being said if you make it out, the swords can be purchased from the Merchant so just make sure you are making enough gold to buy the kit back if need be and remember you can always INT a naked class to wipe them back to default with their swords.

[@Despereaux23]

When do static portals open like in Sinners End? Is it based on Timer or do you have to open something?

[@SynystarYT]

@@Despereaux23 Static portals spawn randomly more so the smaller the safe zone is. The less time in match, the more portals spawn.

[@amoineau]

Doesn't Sword Master require to buy a ton of swords ? That's not very beginner friendly

[@SynystarYT]

@@amoineau SM starts with 8 swords

[@amoineau]

@@SynystarYT Ok so the idea is that either you win and have to buy the one you used or you lose and they are given for free, I admit it's a decent balance. But doesn't the damage scale with the sword rarity, so you need to start hoarding green/blue sword at some point ? I mean it's probably worth it right now because the class is overturned but when it's on par with the others it will be an expensive class...

[@martinkrajscak4381]

The only thing I want to know is - I was thinking to remove second set of weapons to increase my movement speed. Is it beneficial to sacrifice potential switch in combat style + little stats for extra movement speed?

[@SynystarYT]

It can be but the slowness is applied once the weapon is in hand. For example a crossbow will slow you drastically in comparison to Daggers. You can get your fastest movment speed from "torch running" but a less noticeable way to traverse at that same speed is running with a consumable out 🤘 Hope that helps

[@martinkrajscak4381]

Thats actually very helpful. I keep chasing rogues and cant catch up to daggers. Thank you!

[@SynystarYT]

@@martinkrajscak4381 Two handed swords charge attacks can boost your movement speed. Just charge and jump on the swing to cover massive distance 🤘 Time it well to get the most speed out of it. I use it to catch people all the time, maybe not so much Rogues as they are designed to flee BUT most other classes will be outpaced to this strat.

Thanks a bunch I will definitely try this. I only play 1h sword + shield yet. But its true that the 2h has its benefits.​@@SynystarYT

I think the two games are incomparable honestly. Much like Dark Souls and Lords of the Fallen, they look similar but what gameplay loops are available are vastly different. Like two games of the same genre.

[@MoonShineVVitch]

Why did you say it is perma-death? Where is that element?

[@SynystarYT]

Death's or failing to extract will result in a permanent loss of equipment and subsequently your characters build. You keep you characters level sure, making it slightly more forgiving than true "perma-death" systems, but ultimately have to rebuild entirely otherwise.

[@delinkwent7375]

​@@SynystarYTthats not perma death, perma death would mean the character is gone, like Hunt Showdown that is perma death because you lose not just the gear but the hunter themselves and all their perks
