@@Simonb1471Current meta in the game is to stack Hp and Def and completely ignore shield because it becomes trash after you get to the gear around lvl 40 to 50. I don't know why they balanced it like this, but it is how it is
@@basil1415 yes mate thanks. I dont watch other youtubers I like to find things out myself. They clearly need to change the shield recharge rate as it doesnt build up fast enough and no mods to speed it up.
Theres gear that does gen faster shields shield recover out of combat which only takes a sec to activate but mines at 15 per tic 2k shield takes like 20secs or so which isnt bad, ut I might try this def hp @Simonb1471
@@Anihilationx360 20 seconds for 2k is abysmal, absolutely horrible, less time than it takes for the next wave of enemies to spawn and bumrush you, let alone during an engagement. As it is the game is extremely heavily geared towards healthtanking, you can easily get over 10k health and even more defense. Add a bit of recovery and you‘ll be healing for 5k over one second, while getting shot at, by collecting one of those health drops 😅
Maximize skill is not that much a no brainer imo, of course it's great for skill power, but the +38% cooldown is actually a nerf to your cooldowns, increasing its duration almost 40% wich is a lot. it would write -38% if it was actually a reduction. I prefer having the combo Technician (for power) + Nimble fingers to reduce cooldowns (check the explicit - xx%).
@Simonb1471 water play is bad it can't go to different heights compared to her normal ability wich can direct impact for pretty good dmg the mod you should actually look for is supply moisture for that extra skill crit rate and duration
I just unlocked Valby after abit of a grind and wondering where do I start and found your content , got all the mods but Waterplay not all maxed , so I modded up and doing well , thanks for your content and tips from comments helped a lot awesome Man 👍👍
Valby is love start with her on day one and rock alle the hard mode bosses solo. Not the last where u need team mates. Blue dev and the 2 big Hp mods rest goes in skills its amazing ❤
I will say you may want to invest in having cooldown on your build, increasing cooldowns with that mod and having no durations for your puddles means your abilities will be down more and won’t have puddles to do tick damage, and take advantage of the debuff on enemies
I'm really looking for a Valby 44 module build for earlier game build as this is more late game build where you either have to get a Energy Activator by purchase or gone through the game to the point where you can get the remaining required pieces -.-; ... At least it gives me some idea on how to build my character build but won't get that full effect till after i get the needed item to unlock more module potential.
Build for duration and skill power, and just fly around everywhere. Literally the only skill you should be using in clean up, the rest are ass, I can use valby and do resource defense by myself, I make the bunnys just go afk bc they become useless when a good valby is around
Can you give gameplay how you play her with this build? Because when I play with my friend, I always get the least damage even tho I always attacking. Also I run out of mana quite often ☹️
tidal wave is her best mod by far it makes farm as fast as bunnys. supply moisture is for bossing you switch thos in and out depending on content. nice vid tho
The massive problem with this game is there is really nothing to do once you have finished the campaign. I have 3 characters and none of their required reactors are available this week and I'm not sure they all are next week so I am left twiddling my thumbs.
I would like to kindly point out Maximize Skill is NOT a good card. Anything that is adding time to your cooldown is bad. Get Nimbler Fingers instead. Positive number on cooldown stats= bad. Negative number = good.
I would say it's a pretty bad card yeah but I would also add that Polygenic Antibody is an even worse mod, 650 all resist is like 3% dmg reduction once you passed level 20.
I have to ask where did you manage to get Maximize Skill mod to drop... I have been farming Echo Swamp for like 8hrs... I have gotten 3 red mods to drop and all kinds of other mods but that one mod refuses to drop. Just wondering if you had a better place to try to get this bane of my existence right now?
@@Simonb1471 I did manage to finally get it... it's a mission reward for Echo Swamp [Abandoned Zone] Abandoned Refinery Unit... it's a collection mission... I avoid those like the plaque but after abut 8x it finally dropped... looking forward to trying out this build with this mod in it
Go to access info> modules> find water play then press the button to see where it drops. Do the vespers quest that says mission monster. It’s like the very first mission on Vespers if I’m not mistaken. It takes like 3 minutes to complete it and just farm repeatedly. You have to beat the mini boss with gold health bar and he drops it. I farmed it about 7 times after doing the dungeon for a whole night and having no luck. When you hover over the mission, it won’t show that it drops but it does. It’s the mission RIGHT before you have to walk with the drone and stay in the circle until it reaches its destination then you have to protect it. The mission you need consists of fighting enemies in like 3 different spots before the boss with the gold health bar spawns. Sorry I can’t recall the name of it but it’s low level. That’s where I found it though! Transcendent mods can drop from mission monsters if you farm them but obviously it’s only a 2% chance. But forget about the dungeon. This is much quicker. Let me know if it helps!
Every descendants mods should start with maxed Hp+ and maxed Def+, shield is a pile of wank so is resistances (unless you can get several thousand resistance as a sub stat on components, then sure, why not), HP collector should make the lack of hp recovery irrelevant.
@@Simonb1471 Yes but you can use the non-attribute specialist mod that gives the same amount of bonus skill power, without increasing your cooldowns by 50%
@@Simonb1471 False. My cooldown is -45% and I can spam Plop Plop 100% of the time no cooldown while you're doing nothing but shooting your gun waiting on a 40 sec cooldown. I also can spam clean up and out run Bunny players since the cooldown is so low. This also allows infinite Tidal Wave spam which ties Valby clearing rank with Bunny. This build used by any high level player will have them perform the worst out of a team of 4
