Busting 7 Combat MYTHS in Breath of the Wild!! 

What questions would you like to see answered in a future video? Let me know below, and thanks for watching this episode of Stats of the Wild!

In Age of Calamity, it was shown that Revali was battling Wind Blight with almost exclusively bomb arrows. I wonder if that scene was an explanation to its resistance to him, having resistance to explosions in BOTW.

Wow, the game wasn’t kidding when it said that Link was. A full on warrior, his resistance is quite impressive compared to the other enemies.

i always thought the molduking has more health but only 1600 never knew about that damage reduction and weakness.. how interesting i learn something new from you every video!

Another excellent video with lots of useful information. It’s so much fun learning about all the different mechanics and systems botw has behind the scenes. Testing out some of these things for myself almost makes the wait for totk more bearable. Lol. Keep up the good work! 😊

I absolutely LOVE these stat videos, they're interesting and informative! I'd listen to you if you made lectures any day, it would be so fun!

These stats videos are incredible. You can tell how much work/effort goes into them, so thank you for making them for us!

I didn’t know Muldukings were so strong because I did indeed use a 5 shot bow with shock arrows

The bomb calculations are actually really interesting. Most of the damage caused by bombs in real life are actually caused by the concussive force outside the point of impact. For this reason, when bombs are dropped on a city, the are actually detonated above the ground, not on impact. It causes more damage that way. I learned that from an old army vet.

It’s so awesome to see another stats video! Even when I think I know everything about the game you come up with some amazing thing I never knew xD

Thanks for putting out the best BOTW content on RU-vid

Reasons for being desperate to play the forthcoming Zelda game: (2) to play the game myself; (1) to watch Croton's videos taking said new game apart and playing it with my kids in ways we never thought possible. Thank you for the past 5 years! x

Great job with this video! They must have been wildly confusing to figure out all the stats since they all kept on changing situationally.

I can't believe how there is still new content to be made about this game.

The stuff about the Molduking was especially intresting.

Cannot wait for Stats of the Kingdom to blow my mind after the game itself already does

This is the second video i watched by you today while I'm at work. I'm not watching judt listening and i love that I'm learning so much about this game bc i just bought it. I love the fact that you're not giving any major spoilers !

The Molduking stuff was super interesting!

Random Compliment Time! You're one of the only channels I see actually putting in the effort of adding (or in this case, linking to) a soundtrack list in the video description! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Way too often I have heard some cool music in a video and had no idea where it's from.

Slightly unrelated question: how is durability affected when hitting multiple enemies with one swing?

This is why you are my favorite botw RU-vidr, you can go in depth with complex things about the game and make it sound so simple to understand also are you planning to make a goron only run?

1. I used to call the lizalfos electric attack lizalfos fury 2. Ancient arrows against guardian scouts with multiahot bows?

Croton is the only person in the world who could say that his uncle works at Nintendo and I would believe him instantly

croton we need you to do a video on flowerblight ganons stats for april fools day this year :)

I love your videos Croton!! Keep it going! (I saw the spelling error when you first put the video online XD)

I absolutely love your videos!! I recently started playing botw, my first ever Zelda game to be honest. If I’m not playing it then I’m watching your videos!! Love your content croton!!❤

I just started playing botw last Christmas and was looking in a lot of videos. Because, yeah it's botw and it's just so complex. And your channel is by far the best one, your videos are just awesome. Keep on the good work 🤘

7:39 Of course explosion is an elemental, Handsome Jack taught us that one.

Sorry, but I gotta "Um Actually" part of this. You say that on the Molduking, using an electric attack will "exponentially multiply the value of the attack by 7.5 times". You just mean "multiply the attack by a factor of 7.5". Exponentially means that the rate of change of the damage depends on the damage dealt -- e.g. if the Molduking took more or less damage as the fight went on and more damage was dealt, that would be exponential. If it's just a damage multiplier (where instead of dealing 10 damage, it deals 10*7.5=75 damage), that is not exponential.

croton is the most polite man on youtube

Hi everyone,hope you having a wonderful day!😊

what is the best way to kill an enimies in btow without wasteing much material

There's probably a small amount of i-frames that prevent bomb arrow blasts from dealing damage on a direct hit but don't stop the knock back. There aren't a ton of i-frames because you can take multiple arrow shots in quick succession, but there may be a handful of frames that prevent simultaneous damage or damage on consecutive frames.

I hope there are more enemy mobs in the next game. The three main ones in BotW entertained me way longer than they should have

10:18 I hate long throw overrides critical hit

I want Tears of the Kingdom to be out so I can spend like 6 months beating it and then ill come back here and have years of content!

5:28 thats really cool. if only I had time to realize any of this before they die instantly because they get knocked down and have tiny baby health

Also, a Talus can be literally disarmed with explosives.

I didn’t realize this video came out today, nice to see people still upload on this game

Great video, Croton! I've learnt so many new things about BotW, thanks to you. I'm sure your content about the upcoming TotK will be even better.

btw, something i found out in my mastermode playthrough is that freezing an enemy and then attacking them with shock type damage applies bonus damage and creates a shock orb for even more damage :)

Emotes in the closed captions...A sign of true taste! So, Croton...You looking forward to picking apart Tears of the Kingdom to educate us poor, foolish masses regarding its secrets?

I love BoTW fact videos so much, its crazy how much stuff you can learn from them

Whenever this guy upload a my day is better by tenfold

To think you still had one of these in your pocket… Good freaking job, my dude!

fun fact: the hinox's eye takes critical hits from melee strikes too! The easiest way to do this is doing a ground-slam attack with a two handed weapon right after the hinox "ground pounds"

5:34 The Master Sword Beams were swinging off to the upper right because you had the magneisus rune equipped

itd be cool to see more videos on age of calamity, but i understand if not much is known about the game internally. these botw ones are always fascinating at least

i think the bomb arrows don't do full damage upon direct hit of the player is because they immediately go into ragdoll and can't take damage from enemies in that state

4:33 "If you ever tried throwing bombs at guardians on the Plateau when you first started the game, you'll see it doesn't work very well" *Ya think that's gonna stop me ?* No but seriously I spent minutes killing the guardian this way the first time

Yeah... 1-2 damage per shekia bomb to a guardian... I know that all too well (even if not the exact number). In my very first playthrough, i found a cliff just outside kakiriko village (zora's river side) with a visible guardian. Why i did it i have no clue, but i spent the next 30-60 minutes just rolling bombs down the hill to attack a moderately far off guardian, backing up whenever it fixed its sights on me to break line of sight. Yes, i killed the stalker in question, arguably far earlier in progression (even including skill) than was intended.

Awesome video! I guess, next time I do a full playthrough, I'll have to fight the Blights using only MS beams... that's pretty cool how they only do 30>max with the traditional tunic uniforms but a full 60 on Blights! And, now, since you can get the MS with just 12XP, you can do it for all 4!!! I, actually, always thought that the upgraded MS is way weaker than it should be, anyways. I mean, TotS takes some crazy skills and thinking to beat! Surely, the MS trials -- if the trials are completed -- deserves more of a reward?! Maybe like 120 damage per hit with it and 60 per beam, anyway! Also, it could use some more durability; as, it basically can only take a little more than two Gold Lynels at a time... I mean, maybe it shouldn't have any more durability, actually; bc, 2 Gold Lynels is a fair amount of durability!?! So, maybe the upgraded durability is good enough where it's at; but, definitely it should take on 60 damage sword beams and 120 attack power, and still have the 188 durability once upgraded, as the damage increase would make it last longer, anyway!!! I just think the Mastersword is a little underwhelming in the game. What do you think the MS stats should be? Or, do you think it's good how it already is? But, those trials are harsh, especially on Mastermode... you have to be quick and clever, otherwise: you're done! It's easy to be unable to continue if you chew through all your weapon durability with them regenning and all and be left with nothing but bombs to finish a room!

Great video, Croton!

I think the bomb arrow on player damage weirdness might be I frames after damage type of thing. Like the arrow hits first and activates I frames, but cause the explosion happens right after impact it's caught in the I frames

I was wondering if you would ever do a video on the three dragons that are found within the game. When you cook with one of their parts, it massively increases the duration and strength of whatever items you are cooking- i.e- attack buffs, speed. Is there a tier system like with the other buffs you discussed (bananas, mushrooms, etc.) or do you think they are all just going to make whatever you cook overpowered? I've always wondered where they go after you shoot them with an arrow, why you cannot shoot them more than once to obtain an extra part, as well as whether or not they will be featured in the new game. Sorry for the long questions, these are just things I've wondered about when playing the game. I enjoy watching your videos and am curious about your take on them. Thank you for the great content!

Watching this after TotK, the Bokoblins particularly look so weird without the horns.

All this taught me is that I should get rods that have a Durability Up modifier.

Awesome, thanks!

5:12 fighting Waterblight in the Sanctum with the floor broken? How’d you manage that?

Long Throw is quickly coming into its own. It is like the Superman logo in Seinfeld episodes at this point.

I can't wait to see you break down the TotK stats! These are great videos!

The champion is back!

Great video

What I also found very effective in combat is using revalli’s gale, equipping a 3x multi shot bow and bomb arrows, and shooting until either you touch the ground or run out of arrows/stamina

Ah yes, blown back to safety

Thank you for sharing that to me. Cuz i was really hoping for that.

I'm only now finding out that a Molduking exists

I think the weird mechanic about bombs arrow affecting Link is because the arrow deals the damage of the bow first, and as you said, Link can't take damage when he's in ragdoll mode, so he don't take the damage from the explosion who happens after (sorry for ad english)

so what you are saying is the thunder rod is just a pretty wall mount XD

I cannot believe that a game as polished as this has a weapon that phases through the Molduking.

Next can you do a video where you learn to do combat glitches? They're really fun and easy to do (most of them) and it unlocks a whole new level of epicness to the combat in the game

Cronton do a Knights only challenge by using only Knights and soldiers gear

Where was he at 8:20 and 8:50 with the floating mobs? And how do you find the molduking? It it from a dlc?

4:58 at this moment, I realized how much time I wasted attacking that guardian with only bombs in my first play through.

The fact the Molduking can't be hurt by the rod HAS to be an oversight. Just wow...

I am resurfacing to Stats of the Wild to share my knowledge… Moldugas are not weak to electricity. They are weak to bombs. In both BotW and TotK. People just thought they were weak to electricity because Fury does so much damage. Only the Molduking is actually weak to electricity, because there is metal equipment in his body.

50 second ago? Lemme tell you I screamed

Sliver the moblin Zang this useful

Good video keep it up DRILLSHAFT GANG!

Haven’t watched you in quite a while

With Simitar of the seven+electicity the damage is 6.4*7.5 equals 48 damage. Also If a Jedi's plasma blade acts and moves like a straight boomerang it's going to slice through everything. And imagine if a Guardian Sword++ with the long throw stat or moded plasma blade has a 300% to 700% increase when thrown and moving like a boomerang an does multihit, along with calculations with Armor and food buffs. I'm typing this as an idea about making long throw viable. Because long throw stats make the thrown Mallets, heavy spears with more momentum.

Good to know the for muldugaking 👍

5:31 Why are you using the sword beam with magnesis equipped?

When messing around in my post-game file, I noticed that parrying enemy weapons also disarmed them, so I put lots of practice into that, thinking it'd be invaluable in the Trial of the Sword. MFW it didn't work: T_T Still don't know why, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the relationship between the shield and weapon stats.

Hey crouton, nice vid. Can you make a blss tutorial? Thanks

Fabulous! You are still teaching me more 👍.

4:23 I heard that music and I got very scared

I should use some of them to help me as a botw noob. This will help a lot.

TotK is coming out on my birthday from what it says lets go

I have never heard of a Molduking before. Is it a DLC enemy?

I feel bad for you.....Tears of the Kingdom is coming out soon and you gonna need to remake all these videos all over again Hopefully most mechanics will be the same as botw but no matter what happens, I'm here for all the stat videos you put out. Keep it up!

Title should have been “7 combat related math problems in BotW” lol

So excited for botw 2! I’m sure it’s gonna bring even more fans of the game to the channel!

5:18 he said bomb arrows aren't effective on the blights but I 3 shot one soo that needs explaining

I kill lynels just because I can now for me its like killing a blue bokiblin/koboblin also croton how spiced are you

Question: Why does Parrying in Master mode seems to delay

10:25 LOL , Git snipped Scrub

Some really useful stuff!

Molduking is a Ground and Steel type, it should be fully immune to Electric lol.

8:28 Do you reckon that it's intended that bomb arrows do more damage when you're hit directly, but because of the way damage is calculated and Link's immunity directly after receiving damage, you only get hurt by the direct arrow hit and the game makes you immune for the explosion that happens a fraction of a second later?
