When to work on your legendary accessories? [Rise of Kingdoms] 

I have 3 rings and 7 marches 🙃

It’s a 10% to trigger. Which means in 10 turns there’s about a 35% chance that it won’t even trigger once. I’ve had to answer this question a few times in the comments now…. But when you’re calculating average rage per turn…per March the drums are going to do less. If I run 3 drums, the average rage it gives my 7 marches will be less than if I just had 3 horns. The argument for the drums is that it costs less to craft (and refine) but it actually cost the same as the other accessories to get to awaken 5.

Why not, both?

@@Lugh-gv6jx if they both trigger on the same turn you over rage by quite a bit and for most commanders the ring is just the best option anyways

@68Busdriver you need 4 drums for 7 marches. Drogothein's video covered this topic years ago. Otherwise, you'll need 7 horns. Many top players use either option. If you can afford the materials, go for it. 👍

@@davidw.5185 the benefit of a horn to a March compared to a drum is 3x the value. Even if you get coverage over 7 marches the average rate of rage gained will be slightly less than 4/7 of the value of the horn on all 7 marches.

Awaken 2 then crit before you go further. Archer and inf boots awaken 4 (or 5) first

@@68Busdriver I ss this and sent it to my friend... he's been arguing about this for me over the course of a couple days... I told him I was going tier 2 for iconics and then I'll work on critting( I was going to do the same for boots, tbh, I probably will still do the same since skippy/che is a speedy boy, and I already have the 4 peice set) but he insisted that working on critting was better because it'll give more stats per bp/material... not if you have to go 25/25/25/25 bro Thanks for this comment, maybe now he'll finally listen haha

I think the best is 2-2-2…. But it’s close. Not like it’s the best by a big margin compared to 4-2

Pretty good guess

Umm depending on how far I get for the accessories

​@@68Busdriver I meant for me

@@Opapi2268 haha nice

Yea get hope cloack and eternal night even if it’s defense it’s best in slot

You actually get no health from equipment if you are doing the best end game set

@@68Busdriver im familiar with late game equips as i have an acc in soc as arch main but im not familiar with kvk 1 since its been a long time since i did it(2years by now)

@@mechzz4226 I couldn’t tell you what to shoot for in kvk1. I’m almost 2 years out from at this point and I didn’t spend until kvk1 was over and that makes a big difference with your equipment for kvk1

Umm probably 1k. But I’m also pretty good with armaments

I think it would work a little better for smite compared to skill damage commanders but based on how I understand the stats to work I think that would be worse overall

If you don’t have some kind of tankiness on the field you lose effectiveness too quickly since damage also scales with how much troops you have

I see. With what you said it would really only wok for hit and run and switching targets constantly as to not get targeted. I think it works if you have a commander like Liu Che with the extra attack and Alex with the instant proc. Thanks for the feedback

@@gbabydoe5237 you just have 1 March? And how many gh do you currently have? And what type of spend are you?

@@68Busdriver yes, I still got my blue Inf gear as well, I got 228 Gold Heads, an super light spender maybe 50/100 bucks a month (outside 30day gem an LScrolls). I try an stack my spending on recharge events. (I have started running 7Day Mats an Armaments Supplies).

@@gbabydoe5237 I think for you just finish scipio and the equipment and move on to the next March

@@68Busdriver with WW coming out, an that inf wheel being awhile away for us (Arch currently, Maxxing ZL 100 spins) LC/Scipio EXP, how would I transition into a 2nd March (which is currently what I'm looking at trying to do) I got a Lil Alex 5211, a Pyrus 5523. Considering buying daily GuanYu to start 2nd Inf March. If WW/LC is the New Meta. (Will max the WW wheel) Scipio would be sitting Exp.

Thanks for the insight BTW, I saw in one of your videos, you mentioned restarting as a light spender 30/50 a month, I wanna say I've spent a lil more a month got to KvK3 taking 30% trades until KL opened an I Maxxed LC an 5551 Scipio with 970ish Gold Heads I had saved. The Fresh start is terrible for F2p an light spenders only took 270/300 days whatever it is. 😒

Horn and ring

Ideally horn and ring

I think 4pc eternal empire set is better for open fielding

I agree with bus, that 10% march speed is crazy crucial for infantry. My theory for the kvk pieces, leave them for the rally/garrison, where speed isn't so important. For inf, I think set boots, gloves, helm, and weapon, and hope cloak, karauks humility crit until you can at least awaken tier 2 eternal night. But karauks humility can take you a long ways, where you can focus on higher priorities on other sets for a while

You’re not choosing between whether to have equipment or accessories. The choice is actually between upgrading from epic to legendary equipment or get the accessories. Let’s take something like greatest glory for Liu Che. You get a permanent 5% increase to normal damage and smite damage. At some point you have to do the math and make a call which one you are getting more value per legendary mat.

@@68Busdriver same argument still stands though. Epic equipment grinding away saving for seasons to afford an expensive accessory whilst being outclassed in all areas by someone with legendary equipment and only purple or blue accessories. Have general accessories to suit and save for best equipment to suit. The pay off ratio, reward for effort ratio, bang for buck and the ease of hitting Kingdom targets asked and personal targets or KvK targets wanted, become easier. Thus trickles in more presents to carry on. The other path is longer, more frustrating, negative mindset, thoughts on quitting, harder to reach targets asked or wanted etc.

@@graemefeeney2256 If your argument is that legendary equipment is better than accessories…. For the mats spent. That’s not always true and I even gave some examples in the video. And also full legendary and purple/blue accessories actually loses to epic/legendaries (the right upgrades) and legendary accessories

@@68Busdriver I would say that and I would say when it’s not always the case, that’s a one off low probability. Higher stats that are permanent and always active will trump underpowered stats that need chance (1 in 10) to bring some 2 seconds worth of whatever result. 10 rounds of combat to statistically fire off once, hoping your still alive by the 10th round or your underpowered performance wasn’t significantly hindered to see something minuscule take place. Mats spent scenario : 120 mats you cannot save in one full season. I’ll take the 2.5 avg equipment upgrade instead route. I own a ring, horn, dagger, just did greatest glory 3 weeks ago for this KvK fight coming. 4 x Delanes, 5 flags, 5 stratagems. No intention of doing any more legendary accessories until equipment on remaining marches are at best suited. Additionally, the implementation of armaments and their inscriptions have devalued the need due to exact same or similar results of most legendary accessories, without the burden of 120mat grind cost. Thanks for replying and doing your videos, it always generates good dialogue. 🍻

Crit blue?

@@68Busdriver the blue chestplate with crit. It gives 4% health and 4% defense, while purple is attack

@@tsyforka you mean the harvester chest? I’d take the 10.5% attack and 3% March speed personally. Also, defensive stats isn’t as important for siege because often you’re only taking back counterattack damage.

@@68Busdriver oh okay, thx

No it’s the 5th craft of the same item.

@@68Busdriverahh hahaha thanks for clarifying

@@68Busdriver for my benefit, could you go into some detail about what you mean with this please? My experience was, after 12 Legendary equipments were made I finally got my first crit. It was on Ash of the Dawn (legs) 13th item. Those legs were the 2nd in total of that section. Previous legs was INF set legs (which was my first early game mistake I made) For me, 13 forges for finally a crit was me thinking this is normal, or Lilith truly hates me. Current game status : 20 legendary items crafted in total, still the one crit from Ash of the Dawn.

@@graemefeeney2256 every craft you have a 11% chance to crit it. If you craft the same item and haven’t crit it by the 5th try, then on your 5th turn you’re guaranteed a crit. If you crit it before that, then the counter resets

@@68Busdriver copy that, so this refers to epic or lower equipment. Where you can dismantle and try again based on blueprints and gold savings.
