The First Descendant: Ultimate vs Base Descendants 

I came for an answer to one question but got a load of helpful information and you honestly made me slow down on this game and think things over. It all made sense

I feel like the game has potential, but it’s so expensive, one ultimate character is a whole game

DUDE, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BASE VS THE ULTIMATES? DOES THE ULTIMATE HAVE BETTER STATS OR IS IT JUST A SKIN?

Day 1 I said the same thing. The crazy thing is, they would make more money at much much lower costs. Blows my mind that companies don’t understand this

i imagining getting 30 minutes of content from a basic question

You can actually purchase the catalysts. The energy activator is 1,200 and the crystalization one was about 300. So in all everything else is costing 3,500 all together. In order to buy them, you have to go to where they can be used and there will be an option to buy from the shop

Whats the point of buying them if there is nothing else to do in the game but to farm the Descendants?

On the screen at 11:14 you can just hit tab and it will tell you what their base stats are and you can see what the ultimate stats are vs regular.

You must understand that Nexon and Digital Extremes are two very different companies. Nexon has the reputation of running the most long-lived wale farm in gaming history (Vindictus: it is still alive and has regular content thanks to all the whales who are milked).

You can actually get the ultimate skins by farming but the pieces needed are like 1% chance to drop then each of the 4 pieces cost 450,000 co craft, then 900,000 to craft the ultimate skin which equates to around 2.7 mil in game currency to craft plus ALOT of grinding to get the pieces needed in the first place. These costs are for the ultimate bunny skin, not sure if the costs are the same for the others.

Video really starts at 8:08… Jeez.

This is the video I was looking for. Subscribed and thanks for the suggestion information.

Thank you for this Video. Maybe i will spend around 70€ a year for: - Gley (basic) 600 cal - Valby (basic) 600 cal - Yujin (basic) 900 cal - 40 slots for equipment 1.000 cal In total: 3.100 cal 3.920 cal cost 69,99€ in my country

Appreciate the comparison the extra discounted modules is great

Don't forget to level up Shock Punch! It adds to your capacity, which as we know means more levels for other mods. Otherwise, it's a great video. It's nice to see it's not a huge difference like Prime Frames.

Great video brother man

Can they share cosmetics with the base variant? Also Ive heard rumors that Ulti Ajax will get a diffrent skill that the reg one wont get in the last void boss battle

When you 40lvl. you can put in any polarity you want . thats basically free... taking that out of the way... basically there isn't any difference 😁 Thank You that answers my question:)👊

Can I put my bunny skin I bought on ultimate bunny or I should buy skins again for ultimate bunny?

Does ultimate descendant gave you extra 2 reduced module cost slot than base descendant? Or you're already upgrading your ultimate Ajax 2 times?

you can also add polar slots to the base characters with higher level items that. Later game grind.

Are ultimae characters separate charactesr or you can upgrade a normal Lepic to an Ultimate Lepic ?

After grinding and crafting ultimate descendant, will i get not only ultimate descendant, but new skins for free like from bundles for 3k or 5k caliber?

Wow, so you're paying $100 for a cosmetic, 4 extra polarity, some exclusive mods, and a very insignificant stat boost? Well, this game was fun while it lasted.

Wait so you can’t unlock and use all the characters without purchasing a slot for them? Or what are the slots for

What is the point of unlocking a regular descendent? It would be way better to wait for the Ultimate version of the one I want .

Bro, this game makes me miss warframe farming because it was actually fun.

is this your application for the yap contest?

Needed this video

Essentially, so they're basically just essentially skins basically?

So like prime frames with a little extra?

Good vid. Tbh i would've loved if you maxed both to 40 and unequip the mods so we can see the stat difference in numbers. The stat diff you showed could be do to the fact your ult had a 40% def up and your base had a 30% def up. Once again great vid

the only thing i would ever consider buying would be descendant slots

i really enjoy the game but man they are some expensive shit and grinding the 3% drop rate stuff is insane im not that lucky to get 3% drop it took me almost 3hrs to get all 4 parts for thunder cage. but if i was were to buy these ultimate who do i go for? i main gley rn and been enjoying her so far

does anyone know how to unlock the ""Advanced Material Backpack""?

What about the skills stats? Are the skills' base stats any different?

The game feels like the Temu version of Warframe

So the difference is their growth stats. At level 40, ultimate lepic has about 62% more defense than normal lepic. That’s huge when you factor in mod bonuses. But as far as I can tell, that’s the only stat growth that’s remarkable

great video thank you

I seen on reddit they give little bonuses and they are better then the normal versions

Its literally like warframe and destiny slash sprinkle of ANTHEM but just korean....it is sooo korean made. The UI speaks for itself.

if i buy skin for base, did i have the same skin for ultimate?

Thanks for the vid. The info was helpful. I like the game but the Shop, like you said, need to change the prices. Thanks :)

The only thing i want to know is Is the ultimate version of the descendant skills better than their base versions?

I agree great video

I dont have a ptpblem with the shop and mtx style. The values however need massive tweaks. For instance, if you buy a color you should jusy have it end of story. You should get the heads and bodies together. You should be able to paint the base skins. The ultimates need to vome down in cost massively and the benefits need to go up. And material grinds need to be improved. Theyre too high right now considering just how much of it there is to grind.

I don't like the non- thematic cosmetics either. It kinda breaks immersion and is just weird

How are your premium ultimate bundles on sale?

This video not corresponding to the title tbh. No hating my guy, but to clarify the Ultimate Descendants are farmable characters. (Skins because I don’t see any difference in power or skills as of yet) You can find the parts acquisitions via the research section. My only concern is that there is a 78 day countdown as of today. Does that mean you’re paying/grinding for exclusive skins, or are they going to be farmable in the future with many hrs of gameplay?

Ok so the warframe example was $140. if the ingame currency is 10:1 in warframe that is $40 of currency included. For $99 is the prime, an alternate skin, and 2 weapons right? An ultimate in FD is 3000 which is about $55 and comes with an alternate skin. Doesnt seem so different

19:51 Oh no, you played BDO? I just wrapped up 15k hours in that game and I'm still a noob.

the big difference between them is the mod,some of the most top tier mod in the game can be equipped only by ultimate version, the normal version cant do that

U can craft descendants

This free game is expensive

I'm really enjoying the game as a free-to-play player, but Nexon's monetization strategies have always been what eventually caused me to quit their games.

Ok i dont want to sound rude but my man we want to see the difference between the base and the ultimate we dont care about dollar to caliber we can see that its 100$ simple

1 ultimate character is 100$ I’m good with base Ajax

I just bought the ultimate bunny for the views

Warframe has a much better monetization method than TFD.

This game is really spendsive

I don't normally say this, but 20 minutes of YAP WTF

If I buy the Ultimate descendants (3000) and not the premium 5000 one, would the exclusive Ultimate descendants modules come with the purchase?

Yeah so technically. You’re paying for the ultimate character, the base skin for ultimate. The extra 2 skin pieces you get (even in the 3,000 pack), the upgraded version has much more value. I’m not saying it’s worth it, because the prices are waaaaay too high. However… Looking at how much basic skins cost (the school skins currently are 750 alone), premium skins seem to be around 750 or more. So….youre really paying for those

That conversion rate knowledge is extremely flawed 😂😂

One thing he doesn’t tell you that’s VERY important is that the skills on the ultimate descendants are better than the base character. He’s minimizing just how great the ultimates are. 100 dollars worth? Absolutely not. 50 dollars worth? Without a question ONLY IF you’re going to play the game.

Opinion: dotn drag out info that should only take 5 min to relay. We get how youtube works but sheesh...

Damn, $100 for an Ult. Character or would you rather get COD black ops 6… I already know.

Oh so you can only have 11 descendants when there are 14 excluding ultimates. That’s a little fucked.

The Boost seam in this video; ...seasm to be the least problamatic to be honest. Buying and Ultimate or god forbid an Premium Ascendent...Seams Waaaaaay over priced if you ask me! I have nothing against paying for (In a PvE game) that you get some extra help for say 30 USD in progression between kids, work and life in general.(Sorry guys but its actually is a help..) But To nearly throw out 100USD and you get ess. Nothing for it? THat is a F---robbery!! As I said ...I personally have nothing against getting some help...Since you cant grind for 100h+ a week these days with family and life in general. But I dame sure would like to have some kind of sequrity that IF you buy somthing you at least get a value from it!!! Wich is preatty damn scary ovious is not the case; after listening to you my friend. So big thanks for this video.

Ultimate vs Normal Descendants difference is Ultimate Skin and nothing else, they don’t get extra abilities or stuff 😊

you cant really compare warframe and nexon! imo nexon has done far more successfull grindy type games than warframe! Maplestory/vindictus those 2 games run till this day with massive updates and a huge playerbase! the cash shop will grow bigger and things will get crazier content will get better! this is how nexon works

I like the game, I even wanted to support it, but there is no reason to spend, everything is so overprice and/or offers so little in return that it's not worth it.

Bro be yappin.

Its not UE5 assets 😂 that's funny. I agree some don't fit, but they don't have to, its cosmetic. Not functional.

Nothing. Its a skin. Its not any better/worse than base. Saved you 20min in view farming.

So its just look you pay for. Nothing else😊

you hit the nail on the head , underwhelming ,and overpriced , the shop needs a full recalibration fo sho.

It's the same bullshit like in Warframe. There is almost no difference. The basic def stat difference is so low that it doesn't even matter. Especially in endgame. The only thing you buy is a shiny character with a small headstart. Streamers and content creators stated the same thing years ago with Prime Warframes. They make no difference during endgame.

The base stats are negligible in difference with unique cosmetics providing that power per the lore. The big gain is the extra 2 mod slot symbols for capacity discounts which a base character can grind. When your Descendant hits level 40 you can use an item to add/clear a mod socket symbol but it resets your character to level 1, rinse and repeat for every extra mod slow you want to put a symbol on. Weapons with their proficiency level works the same way to add mod slot symbols to them for more mod capacity discounts. Essentially an Ultimate has been to L40 twice spending 2 x 300 coins of items and reset already before you start. Grinding Descendant and weapon proficiency levels is the main way to grind up mastery XP so in a way you paid to skip some grind but missed out on 80 levels of mastery XP awards you still have to grind but with a potentially more mod powerful character. The defense mission arenas are made for power leveling descendants and weapon proficiency levels. To max out mastery levels you are either grinding multiple descendants and weapons to L40 or the same one's multiple times.

Comparing a new economy to one that’s been around for about 10 years is irresponsible

Massively over complicated this. Not great

Omfg u made a video that does not inform of nothing.

So its warframe.. ill just go play warframe then lmao

This game is Micro Transactions HELL 😂

Too expensive 😪

It would have been nice if you more concisely explained the actual differences of the ultimate vs normal, instead of basically ranting for 20 mins about monetization and if its "worth it" tell us what the main differences are and we can decide if its worth it. This should have been different videos.

Its mad how popular it on steam charts. I really hoped this game improved ALOT from the beta but it hasnt. This is an Anthem 2.0

Warframe 2

23 minute video not necessary for this lmfao. tldr?

Jamust talking bullshit 20 minute long wtf

I feel like this 23 minute video could have been summed up in less then 5 minutes...... so much rambling on and repeating the same thing over and over....... I got the answer from reading comments below faster.

its not worth it to me i agree with u i hate this best in slot clone BS im not buying it lame AF devs

they should take note from BDO & make them alt arc types different make a M/F version that have different skills and use different elements because its just lame to play a clone 2 times & some i dont want to play because they look like gay boy band members lol just saying can i have some options that r not just a few stat tweeks &r different & not just a direct upgrade its vary disappointing & missed opportunity to add verity🤔

Brain rot, do not recommend

Warframe is cheap compared to this game

Bad video bye

The fact is that they will lose to Warframe.
