Seeing as I got Hailey 2 days ago, I'm happy KZbin's algorithm put your video on my feed. Perfect timing in my case. Thank you. =)

[@thenightingale7405]

So many people in this community are curious about crit resistance and no other content creator covers it well. You honestly would have gotten a ton of views if you turned crit resistance into a standalone video.

[@VashCowaii]

May yet still, but there is more data needed from more bosses and whatnot to cover it better.

[@vbun4662]

I think a lot of people were building from Warframe experience where if you built 100+% crit your crits could also crit so I can see why people would initially just assume this game would have some kind of weird crit rules. But it's nice to see the community digging into mechanics like this.

[@johnnydamm22]

yeah but people need to understand that they are not playing warframe but TFD its like german people coming to the mc donalds in the netherlands and then gonna ask for the burger they have in germany but the netherlands doesnt have the same things as germany mc donalds and they still keep doing that asking that dumb question while they already know the answer to and the worse part of it al they always get a little mad because we dont have it and now these people are getting mad because vash is giving a complete breakdown on how it works and they cant handle it that they arent the one who discovered that

[@Seecret_]

but vash plays warframe lol... I agree though, why try and be superior when you can enjoy both games as they are

[@pooolish334]

Literally woke up this morning to find out i had a Yellow, Chill/Singular, Yellow Dmg to Colossus/Crit and Crit Hit Rate, mounted with the Piercing Light that i got grinding missions to lvl up Hailey. I almost lost my shit looking at it, i couldn'tbelieve it. But now this vid slapped my Crit hit rate roll out of the water 😂😢. But hey I didn't had to suffer for it so I'll take it and not care for any other. The absurd amount of hours that i have sunk into this game taught me this: if you already have something that is more than good enough (but not the absolute peak beast), and you didn't have to suffer for it, then keep it and continue with your other stuff because if you lose days of potential grinding looking for a perfect roll you will end up losing more in the end.

You don’t need this shit. Use Compulsive Magazine instead of Concentrate Support Ammo and Slayer set and any blue “Rounds per Mag” is enough for 8 shots. Slightly decreased weakpoint damage doesn’t matter because most of the damage comes from skill, not weapon.

[@thesin8772]

Your numbers allign with my calculations only that i use have aiming on the perforator -accuracy doesnt seem to apply on zenith also this is basically calculating best case boss scenario for perforator running it agains frost walker will significantly decrease its value but still on top But my tests with 68% crit rate at devourer ended up in 50% crit hits after 300 shots. While at 100% I ended up at roughly 72%. indicates 28% crit resist 68%*(1-0.28)= 49% I am pretty sure crit resistance forumla is: Crit% * (1- (Crit resist% * (1-Crit resist reduction%*analysis master*)) ) Edit: did rerun the test with 68.5% crit ended up with 52.7% effective crit against devourer after 547 shots. so roughly ~23% less

[@chriselliott403]

Significant flaw in your testing: the previous guy did 12,000 shots for his data. Vash did 1000 shots in his. The more shots taken, the more accurate the data. Redo your test with 1000-2000 shots and see if you get the same results

[@thesin8772]

@@chriselliott403 pretty sure you will get closer to 28% resistance not to a 72% cap combined i am at 847 shot with 24.3% less effective crit than the gun should have (including rolls and mods etc) while below the cap of 72 he suggests for my data the next 170 shots in the 68% crit test (300 shots were fired) would have to crit and the next 275 shots in the 68.5 crit test would have to crit (547 shots were fired) to bring crit resist to 0 when you are below 72% crit chance

[@VashCowaii]

Replied to your other comment but more or less I'll say the same thing, kinda like chris mentioned you're running with a lot less data, without knowing how you're performing the tests it is hard to gauge how accurate they are. That said there are still more tests to be done by anyone not just me, but given the thousands of shots I did between diff scenarios, the conclusions I talk about in the video are the only reasonable conclusions to be drawn.

[@Ayvan]

How about alternative, "budget" build for Piercing Light (or Afterglow Sword)? Remove "Refrigerate Gunbarrel" module. Add "Focus Fire" (weak point dmg +20%) Change "Concentrate Support Ammo" (+30% ammo) for "Magazine Compulsive" 14 energy (34% ammo and -8.8% weak point dmg) Now, we need only 8% Rounds per Magazine on "Piercing Light", because has +49% on "Expand Weapon Charge", 34% on "Magazine Compulsive" and 9% on "Slayer" set. This build has a little bit lower damage (but we added 11.2% weak point dmg, 20% - 8.8%), but not need to roll 12% "Rounds per Magazine" to obtain 8 shots of "Zenith"

[@CooleyHigh20]

Vash and Meui, a match made in heaven. Also, Valby when?

[@Rehkew]

Dang bro. Preach. Appreciate you getting into the math and letting us know how to properly build.

[@blackkat101]

While the Piercing Light is still the best (Afterglow is a close second, but loses out by 8-16% depending on how well it is built), there is another option. That is using an Impact Weapon. This is because for some reason, the Impact exclusive mod, Payout, which on hitting a weakpoint, grants you 3s of infinite ammo, works with Hailey's Zenith. This gives just enough time for 3 extra shots. Meaning you can turn those 8 shots, into 11. Of course this means the gun side of her Zenith shots will be weaker than the Piercing Light ones, but you do get 3 more shots, which benefits the skill side of the ability. This may be an amazing option to go for depending on how the new Ultimate Scout Rifle will be. In the meantime, the Perforator is the best option, as it has the highest stats for DPS for Hailey. The Nazeistra's Devotion, while my favorite of the Hand Cannons, isn't needed as the main stats for it are lower than the Perforators except its stupidly high Crit Rate, which you don't need on Hailey. The amazing ability to shred DEF on the Nazeistra's is also not available for use as like with any other unique weapon, they don't inherit the unique abilities of Ultimate Weapons. So her Zenith will not benefit from any Ultimate Abilities.....

[@blackkat101]

Also those math numbers are from Ryechews Games (too lazy to double check how you and he did their numbers). Further, you did mention Payout and Perforator.... yay, my post is redundant. (what I get for typing things while watching the video and seeing things all the way through, ah well, I don't like deleting posts I made, even if I make an ass of myself....)

[@Demondayo]

Do you need +12% magazine on Perforator as well?

[@blackkat101]

@@Demondayo yes, or do not bother with that substat and the second mag mod and go with 6 shots instead of 8. To get that 12%, roll for just that substat without locking any. As it will take many tries. Took me almost 200 rolls to get 12% on my Piercing Light.... Then you can start locking them and get your other wanted substats.

this is a dumb question and it probably doesn't matter that much, but is there a reason you use 2 cold mods on your sniper? wouldn't it be better to use electric for the defense shred? in my experience that's at least how it feels, shredding feels more important than elemental advantage but I could be very wrong and just having unlucky tests with no crits or something I guess what I'm really trying to ask is what are your thoughts on electric providing defense shred, on every boss including pyro?

If the ceiling is right around 75%, how does that factor into other weapons and characters who have less than 75% crit rate? Lepic and Viessa usually cap out around 50% with all 4 crit mods, but they aren't getting a true 50% crit rate against void intercept bosses right? I think this weekend I'm going to use Viessa's one ability 1000 times vs devour and see what happens

[@YisiLiu-cg4kz]

Great vids with detail explanation. But one problem with perforator is that at current stage it's basically impossible to even get a decent reactor for it on Hailey, with afterglow or piercing light at least we had last week. For perforator there won't be one this week or even next week. Not sure about the week after that, but if you wait until then to build it, might just wait until the new weapon or the red mod to come out.

Awesome and informative video. Thank you. I have a questions that I would love some clarity on. On your perforator load out you have damage mods that require investment.

[@jysaitma3724]

Great video, keep it up

[@SealFormulaMaster]

Counter point against Slayer. The Ice-Cream Spike (AKA: Zenith) locks you in place, and Cold Fury slows you to a crawl. If you get focused by the boss and go down, any theoretical damage you could deal becomes 0 DPS. Having a 2 piece of two other sets, like Glacier and Acrobatics, gives you more options for defensive stats while not reducing overall damage too much. Slayer is good for solo, but most of the bosses you want Hailey for can't be solo'd. Also, wouldn't it still be better to have Skill Insight to make it easier to hit crits when you're unable to use Cold Fury? Without Skill Insight, you only get about 9% with Emergency Lines, and 15% with. A 6% increase isn't much, but it's still impactful during the instances you don't have the MP for Cold Fury or it's on cooldown.

[@NeightrixPrime]

I assume if you're fighting a colossus, and you don't have the energy for Cold Fury, you're better off dipping and getting some 'MP Recovery out of Combat'. Plus if you're using Skill Insight it means you're missing another mod. But I could be wrong.

[@iamzer0938]

Counter point to your counter, zenith’s cooldown is based on shots fired. If you get focused and don’t shoot any, your cooldown is stupid fast. Typically cold fury is not going to slow you enough to where you can’t dodge attacks. Not even gluttony can hit you at max cold fury stacks if you know the timing to dodge or use your grapple. So slayer set is still better so long as you are able to reposition. You shouldn’t be tanking hits on her anyways, she’s not an Ajax, so that argument is dumb. If you’re getting focused on, gtfo and reposition. For your second question, no skill insight is still not better here. Having MP conversion for the reduction in skill cost is one of those mods you can put in for those 3 open mod slots. This makes the cost of cold fury to drain around 8 MP a second. Cold fury at this point will last a while. If you target ads as they spawn then go back to shooting the boss you’ll more than likely get an MP block or two to pick up. If the boss is downed just pull out zenith and hit weakpoints to get your MP refunded. It’s so easy to keep her topped off that you shouldn’t have any issues not keeping cold fury up. If you find yourself struggling to dodge attacks because of the reduced movement speed, uncast it. When it is safe to do so recast it. Alternatively you can also just use the one blue mod that increases your max MP to a stupid amount and it scales even higher for MP refunded from her 4th or picking up MP blocks on the ground.

[@SealFormulaMaster]

@@iamzer0938 Yes, the cooldown is based on shots fired, but you're assuming no shots are fired. If shots are fired, she's going to have a cooldown. And she shouldn't be tanking hits, but sometimes you have to. I can make a PBJ by the time she gets out of Zenith and can react. Unless you know of some secret tech to dodge roll while Zenith is active, or you know the formula to know exactly how much aggro you have at any given point, you WILL take damage. If you can't take a few hits, you WILL go down before you can get out of Zenith. The argument still applies unless you can somehow dodge. And there's still the matter of cooldown. While it's not TERRIBLY long when modded for, that's still another mod slot. It seems like a waste to be using up 2 to 4 slots just on MP/cooldown just to fit Slayer.

@@SealFormulaMaster again whether you fire one shot or five, the cooldown is different per shot fired. You don’t need cooldown on her. On my build I only use 1 MP mod and that’s the purple skill cost reduction of 36% for like 20% modifier. That’s just to upkeep cold fury. Again you’re missing my point. You can alleviate getting hit multiple times or even the first time by recognizing that you are even targeted. That comes down to experience and amount of times you fought a boss. The moment you get out of using zenith, you can immediately dodge to get away, that’s like a second window. So that PBJ comment is a gross exaggeration. If you’re telling me you can’t take at a minimum 1 hit or recognize your about to get hit, get out of zenith then start dodging before the boss attacks you then idk what to tell you because I don’t have that issue. Lastly cooldown is not great on her ONLY because her highest cooldown skill is 40 seconds. That’s nothing. Not to mention when soloing every boss upto obstructor, you’re downing them in like 5 seconds. The only time you want to be in zenith for Frostwalker, Molten and Gluttony is when they are being mounted or they got toppled. Otherwise you are screwing yourself. Hailey is more than just a ability platform, she’s also a gun descendant. From Frost to Gluttony you want to be using your guns until the mount or topple then you do big burst with your 2 and 4. If you’re spamming your 2 and 4 outright in those fights not only are you wasting DPS, but you are also enraging them by instantly filling their frenzy. The mentality of just using those skills outright forcing frenzied mechanics 30 seconds into a lobby fight is about as brain dead as lepic mains. Going back to the cool down argument, the only reason you would even want it is to spam her 1 to apply cyro stacks so that your guns do more damage when they hit. Outside of that, cooldown is useless. There is no secret tech, there is no get gud mentality, a lot of this is common sense, recognizing patterns and playing smart and not being an idiot.

Great video boss

[@Uneedskill]

@VashCowaii Are the new non crit/skill power mods a massive boost for Hailey like they are for some others?

[@samchenmusik]

Could you please explain why you use Chill enhancement and refrigerate gunbarrel?

[@kilua87659]

Because you can see that the chill dmg still works on the gun, as well as included in the cryo damage

[@VashCowaii]

Forgot to explain that. It adds dmg to the gun side, and any amount of increased dmg, even elemental, is going to lead to a higher dmg spread than slotting in a bunch of miscellaneous mods that boost your crit dmg or weakspot dmg by 2-4.5%

[@robmurray5453]

The 11 shots vs the 8 shots is an interesting argument when you factor in the weapon damage side of zenith, because it’s a chill attack and currently the hardest boss in the game reduces the chill by a heck of a lot more than the weapon. The AG/PL weapon side of zenith completely dwarfs the perforator’s weapon side damage, which is factually extremely more important against “hard” enemies with resistances to chill/normal resist. If you want to go spit down fortress’s throat or pyro, sure. But they die in a couple shots anyways: weak to chill.

[@VashCowaii]

Ye but if you're using a zenith build instead of a gun build on gluttony you're kinda trolling no? Zenith would never really be used on gluttony that often if at all

[@the_adc]

hey i wanted to ask if using a no crit build on hailey is viable at all or is it just plain bad?

[@KnevvitPrinyaM.]

8:16 Thats the time I subscribe by no hesitation.

[@chiXnhawk]

Can you do an updated Hailey build with the new mods and weather they are any good for her. Also maybe a gun platform build?

[@VashCowaii]

probably not lookin at hailey again any time soon without a major change or if I finish gun calcs on my site

[@KingJoey.]

Is this still ideal today or do you have a new Hailey bossing build cooking?

[@nolanadams1677]

@VashCowaii What about that blue weapon mod that decreases the crit resistance? Can you test that out? Does this mod just increase the crit rate ceiling?

[@kilua87659]

You mean Analysis Master? It's an ultimate special rounds gun mod.

[@VashCowaii]

According to the guy I reference at the start, it applies as a multi to the enemy's modifier. So not 50% - 25%, but 50% * (1 - .25)

[@merkkergaming4719]

Thanks for this, not listening to anyone else now 😂

[@chrismatney1397]

I'd like a video of sockets. Resetting your character and choosing your sockets etc...

[@Gillium-001]

I love this channel.

[@markdasilver]

"Anyone who knows something better 24 hours before anyone else is considered an idiot for 24 hours." Never let haters bring you down. You did such a good job explaining everything - thank you very much for that. Unfortunately, I don't speak English very well and will watch the video a few more times to understand all the information properly. But that doesn't change my appreciation for your work, time and effort.

[@korhanaydemir8366]

amazing insight

[@VashCowaii]

If this is a pun I approve
