Seijin Plays Elsword Armorless Part 178 : New Moves
0Please read the description (see below), if you haven't seen my other videos.
This playthrough has me playing the game armorless. That means no top armor, no bottom armor, no gloves and no boots. I am not using costumes (except the panda thing) to make it absolutely clear, to other players and you viewers alike, that I am indeed playing armorless. I am, however, using accessories and weapons. I don't do voice commentary, sorry. I am not a great or top tier player. I am merely an intermediate player, so keep that in mind as well.
In this video, I run the new dungeon I just gained access to in the last video. This time, on Hard difficulty. While the jump from Normal to Hard is generally not too high compared to going from Hard to Very Hard, it is rather significant here. The hard difficulty introduces several minibosses that are quite a pain to deal with with no prior experience with them. Watch me struggle!
Additionally, this video was recorded very shortly after a balance update that changed a lot of characters' move set and skills. This is my first video after those changes, so there's a lot of new stuff. While it affects some basic moves, the more notable changes to my character are Hell Stone and Poisonous Cloud.
Hell Stone is now cheaper in terms of mana cost, a bit weaker, a bit larger, and it "sucks" the targets to its center rather than pushing them away after the third hit. It also has the particularity of being spammable. After using it, there is a window of up to two seconds (if I recall correctly) where the skill can be used again. Past that, the skill goes on cooldown as normal.
Poisonous Cloud is, in my opinion, not as effective. The best aspect of it back then was that it was stunning the enemies every second or so. Now, it no longer does that. The damage formula also changed. Its initial hit is very potent, doing major damage. Subsequent hits from the lasting AoE do negligible damage. Good for damage, but my favorite part of the skill before was crowd control. I can no longer use it for that.
Another major change is the "gravity" change. Now, when a character is sent into the air, they fall to the floor much faster than they used to. This is a problem for me because most of my catches in PVP involved throwing the opponent in the air. I'll say right away that this is when I started losing a bit of interest in the game. That change is really major for me and I never managed to adapt. I have not played the game in roughly six months. There are very few videos remaining to upload...
