Cyclone Meta is here! V Rising 1.0 

Amazing game, looking forward to the 2nd one :)

Sounds like a good idea. I could do a spell tier list or something to help give a summary of where things stand

This has also been my preference for open world. It’s really good there too once again because double counters so common and the stun jewel which makes cyclone so good is very easy to get. The only time it is weaker is in raiding because most open world terrain won’t break it but castles will

@@chappllgr ty! played a bit more with it and liked it alot

Cyclone doesnt break against most terrain, it does suck in raiding though,

I put a couple screenshots of blood and gear at the start. Im playing full scholar here because the resets are very strong with these spells but its so good that you can use any blood and equipment for it. It's not easy to longbow kite discharge because if you hit into counter at all you'll get pulled in. As for chaos dash I think its in close contention with both blood and frost since those both give much more value on hit but chaos is always a solid choice

It's a good pve game, lots of unique boss fights, locations, builds and playstyles to test out alone or with your friends :) Just make sure so make your own server and not join a public

I think in the current version of the game people who enjoy the PVP will typically get the most playtime out of it but the PVE is a great experience and there is tons of creativity in the base building. I'd recommend doing a private server so you dont have to worry about getting wiped until a major update

Cyclone does not have many jewel rolls. The only thing that is actually important is getting the stun. Discharge as well gets a small amount of value from any of the jewels but does not require any at all. The lack of jewel requirements are part of what make both these spells so strong

Not the kind of thing I tend to play but I think double counter is best for this. I'd recommend any combo between bloodrite/discharge/cold snap

I believe long bow has longer range and can be released earlier than crossbow, but the crossbow shoots at higher velocities and the shots fly quicker, it’s up to you. Whether you prefer being able to have more control or more consistency

Not at all, all the weapons have viable situations to be used - its a mix of build and preference. Both the new weapons longbow and whip are especially strong Longbow overall is better than crossbow and more commonly used (my opponent nemesis is playing longbow instead of the crossbow) but I prefer crossbow in scholar since Im more used to the primary attacks and with scholar you tend to want to use weapon cooldowns on crowd control and movement rather than the raw damage that longbow provides.

The jewels on V arena are max rolled tier 4s - I think he would have freeze, nova left behind, nova on attack and extra damage

@@chappllgr okay makes sense. Yea open world has T4s as well just wanted to know what rolls haha

game is much faster, and there is a lot of damage in the game at 1.0, so i found that the crystal lance or shadowbolt dont cut it anymore. If you are learning tho, a build that you feel comfortable with and have fun with will perform much better than a meta build imo

Sadly Shadowbolt actually caught an undeserved nerfed going into 1.0. I've not tried it yet but considering it was already weaker than crystal lance Im not sure how good it will be. I could update you on that once Ive had more time to try it

​@@chappllgr ye idm it being full meta its just fun to play but if it got nerfed to the ground (if thats the case) is there a spell dmg / crit alternative build to run that works similar aka get cc w weapon into skill- think i overall just enjoy the blood archetype especially the dash for trading is pretty neat imo- idk if theres another blood type build or anything i just dont rly know what to go for since all the information on yt rn seems outdated (i dont wanna play full fotm meta tho just sth unique and fun that has a skillceiling)

@@cjay2363 I would say run some shadowbolt and see how it feels to you, it got a 10% nerf, which is definitely big, but it went from 180 to 170.

Very good weapon, works well as a solo weapon and most people call it overpowered. I have not been using it much compared to other players but if I do fit it into my hotbar it goes in place of mace.

Thank you sir. Does the new bow seem generally underwhelming to you in a PvP context or am I missing something myself?

No have some on official. Didn't get until level 2 world events

t4 jewels used to be a admin item - they are now part of the base game and drop from end game bosses + tier 2 rifts in mortium

dr stands for diminishing returns which is where something becomes less effective the more it happens In the context of static stuns it means once they are stunned to many times they become immune to it

@@chappllgr ah i see got confused because i come from path of exile where everyone uses dr as damage reduction

Any kind of double counter setup with warrior or rogue tends to be very strong in open world 1vX especially vs less experienced players that are not good at playing around them. I'd recommend any combo between bloodrite/discharge/cold snap

@@chappllgr I'll see what I can come up with based on your recommendation, ty.

IP for EU Varena is in the description. I'm not sure if there are any arena servers for other regions yet

Yep - although I think rogue or warrior sets are fine with these spells too

I could use footage where I win all the fights but thats not as interesting as vs a skilled player like nemesis where our duels are close

nemesis is one of the best players in the game. We all prefer chappl posting footage testing builds against the best, so we can see its actual strength. He can beat casuals with any build and it would look super op.

My bad, I'm new to the game and have no clue of who's good or bad.
