"What Escalation Should I Do First?" - Escalation Difficulty & Usefulness Rankings

[@Nikkto474]

Man i still remember when shock escalation came out, that was wild

[@drakotaz7729]

I started playing on the first full release of the game right after the beta

[@GloEatsLiquidRubber]

@@drakotaz7729 that’s crazy bro

[@drakotaz7729]

@@GloEatsLiquidRubber I don’t play anymore but i still have the game on my pc : )

[@GloEatsLiquidRubber]

@@drakotaz7729 understandable, it gets boring sometimes

[@orion1644]

I remember when I first played frost escalation with my friend, we were struggling hard with the frostbite mechanic but honestly once you are lvl 25, frost escalation probably becomes the easiest because of the amp that increases attack speed etc. for every kill and also avatar of destruction is pretty good

[@frostyvoid827]

I prefer avatar of subtlety but that’s probs because I main the spear

[@knoven-]

I suppose you could say that your power... snowballs?

[@DhDetails87]

I've only been playing this game for about a month or 2 and I love it. So glad your channel came up in my recommendations. Your info has definitely helped make more sense of the mechanics.

[@frostyvoid827]

Same, I’ve been playing since November

[@TacticalReaper56]

I love umbral esc options and end boss weapons. Really can make you feel like speed.

[@thaizeeee6624]

Great video as usual :) Im only missing the hammers of each esca and agree on pretty much everything. Only thing I'd add is that frost becomes one of the easiest (or at least fastest) once you unlock all the perks.

[@elisabethryder4719]

Sums up my thoughts on escalations. Thanks for the overview. Terra - "Not Gonna Die" Frost - "Monster"

[@Aufsitzmaeher]

Yeah besides from Sporestruck Charogg this beefy boi is a pain in the ass, sometimes

[@BigZlinker]

I just bring pangar lantern when ever i do terra agarus just gets melted by it

[@unholylightning4617]

Have been playing for a while now but I never did any grind in escalation yet, I have the mindset of "if you don't have the 110% optimal build, you can't do it" for some reason. This alone makes me kinda afraid to try for myself, even when I really want to lol. Great vid, maybe this make me give it a shot now.

[@davidragg2160]

1-10 escas are basically a joke if you have a weapon above 15. I would say you DON'T need a 100% build to do 10-50 as I've done 10-50's in just shrike armour, but it does help to have a working build to offset some damage or downs.

[@PowerOfDoi]

As someone who played on Launch and reinstalled like a week ago, i'd rank Radiant very high in usefull since they moved chronovore there. you need his drops for TimeWeave Gear

[@seriousleek3691]

Blaze esca is actually easy for me, it’s just getting to the keystone behemoth is hard because of phaelanx

[@Kwann5000]

Noice,but the real best escalation to is the radiant escalation

[@frankjamesensleyiii8000]

I have the Top Earner challenge. I hadn't noticed but it has gotten hard to gather Rams. Slaying behemoths yields nada. The island events are hit and miss, with varying rewards. Patrols are the same (15k one time and 1k another). Patrol chests are +1k each, but that's a lot of keys to get to 500k Rams. Any suggestions? Hints? Tips? This is a sloooooow grind.

[@Meltizp]

frost is more than interupt,it can insta froze the behemoth which lead to longer staggered,more benefits from overpower and easy stagger locking

[@captainthunderttv]

I didn't look up anything before I started playing, started doing blaze first and need two levels till I'm max

[@montyzfuntimez8262]

what level escalation do you recommend to get to before ya try to do 10-50 normal esca cant find the answer anywhere

[@TheKillOG]

I've been playing this game since the beginning and I still have no clue how alot of things work lol

[@equinoxazra6943]

At what reforge should I stop I just hit reforge 8 and would I be able to craft the hard escalation armor yet ?

[@charltontuivai7846]

Bro I saw the notification and it made my day.Keap it up bro

[@sdeathrowfighters]

Is the mane attraction V bugged? I can seem to get under 15min... even thou I have timed it at 12mins

[@snoxop]

Bit late but is terra escalation useful for the axe now?

[@RyanOlsen]

It's nice that you don't forget about the new players.

[@NoraTheCreator117]

Yet not everyone can be such a dodge and parry god to allow Discipline and Predator everywhere

[@RyanOlsen]

@@NoraTheCreator117 Yeah, I barely use discipline except for early leveling. I simply don't want to play on edge the entire time. I do use predator in builds, but also pair it with tough and tenacious. It works out great, and it's not a big deal if it's deactivated now and then with a hit.

[@umbralaasimar9463]

Terra is a push over next it’s shock cause amp rng can carry and easy boops then blaze cause hellion will always be good and charrog got better so yeah then umbral,not as hard as frost but thrax moving weird can help improve Dodge skill and thus finally frost

[@izakdaturtal3724]

imo frost is the easiest because the avatar of destruction is so incredibly powerful I have like 50 clips of me one, two, or three shooting behemoths with a bunch of different builds. the hardest imo is radiant because the amps all suck, they are all mostly defensive and its better to just kill behemoths fast than die slower

[@notsniper9993]

Frost escalation is probably the 3rd easiest if one would take the crit avatar.

[@spiirxt_]

how level escalation up fast? i wanna get malkarions armor transmog lol

[@OmegaRejectz]

Wish I levelled up my Terra Escalation to max first, or at least 20+ first as it's the easiest, or do Shock as it's 2nd easiest and 1/2 most useful. Shouldn't have done Blaze...

[@mrMEK-jf9nw]

You could do a video on all the behemoths Ather mode , just an idea tho

[@snoxop]

Ik you prolly won't reply cuz you quit dauntless but I was wondering is this still true like is shock still best?

[@ryretze5823]

Hi MRTrails, can you update your weapon tierlist please? Love you keep doing your best!

[@TheMrTrails]

Will be doing soon

[@craigfunk3453]

Yeah...terra's AoE revive is nice in more casual content..but in heroic esca? The unstaggerable state it gives can be used against you and put you back in the grave rather quickly. Much prefer chronovore legendary ability (mostly the much shorter cooldown) if I'm not running an elemental advantage weapon Really hoping the radiant omnicell is gonna be good! Can't wait for March so I can play around with it

[@raynegallaher7661]

Chronovore weapons also have the heroic escalation advantage currently from having, on average, the best elemental matchup because there isn't a radiant esca yet. I suppose that will change soon though.

[@NoraTheCreator117]

I still prefer Agarus weapons tho, CB with Skarn bond is an excellent booper (also plus shields for Bastion)

[@Blitzkit]

Terra easy Shock and Blaze normal Umbral and Frost hard Terra due to agarus not really a threat both Shock and Blaze has the "dodge that one grab that can one-shot you" threat umbral I think is probably the most annoying boss you either do the thrax. and the frost overall is the hardest because of the ice minigame (esp if you don't know how to work around it) I remember starting a frost esca (10-50) without getting those avatars. and man that was really nightmare.

[@Deleted_Eevee]

Who else remembers when blaze and shock were the only escalation

[@frankjamesensleyiii8000]

I remember when there weren't any escalations and the islands only had one behemoth you picked at the start of the hunt. Things have changed.

[@Deleted_Eevee]

@@frankjamesensleyiii8000 yeah I want the single behemoth hunts back

[@fsMariano]

Pre video: hopefully u say blaze because when I played this game a while back it’s all I played, big gap compared to the other ones Post video: NOOOOOO

[@michelepricop5642]

You have a very similar voice if not identical to the spiffing brit

[@OurPmIsAWacko]

How it change how terra weapon are the best weapon if build right

[@TheMrTrails]

If we're talking dps, terra is the worst element

[@alecchapman7976]

Wait radiant escalation is confirmed?

[@vex2415]

Radiant escalation def the easiest escalation of em all

[@ardansukmanto4373]

Chronovore is the easiest, because you can beat it with 6 people and can have suply, and the litle monster it summon before boss is easy, the hard part pas to get part to it and collect stone to start with

[@NoraTheCreator117]

Plus Agarus weapons can revive the whole party if the Chronovore's jump shockwave knocks out everyone

[@MeatMaster69420]

I can farm thrax no problem but I get my ass handed me by a tree

[@KGXE]

Agreed Terra is the easiest then Frost

[@WmotionW]

Terra legendary is useless when everyone one is lvl 20

[@orion1644]

I played hours upon hours upon hours in shock escalation, leveled it to max and didn‘t bother leveling any other escalation. Malkarion fight was too much fun and once I discovered oneshot builds…well…things got out of hand And then 1.7.0 destroyed everything

[@HLC_NIKZ]

First

[@screamer2730]

so?

[@xxfriedkambamxx8722]

Zendaya < Brie Larson

[@TheMrTrails]

hot take

[@BozoLockedOn416]

no gonna cap on your reforge vids not every one has 1000 bounties so 69 and 49 mins not gonna happen

[@TheMrTrails]

You need like, 20, which you can easily farm in the reward cache
