DOES DEFENCE SUCK IN #thefirstdescendant (See comment for more info)

If, set bonuses didnt exist, id still have like 30-45K defense. Also specific stats on components roll on weekly rolls appearantly (which is od) also means the stats are up to change in the future. In the part where im talking about the shield i am doing both hp conversation and increased shield. If you pick one. The increased shield is better

What I love about Ryechews are two things 1, that he's not saying the "trust me bro" or just showing one clip to show he's right, but is willing to put in the extra effort to show, explain and do deep dive into the math to back it up. 2, And this might be the big plus in his character what I've seen in multiple vids. He's willing to admit when he'd made a mistake or that his previous vids aren't up-to-date anymore, corrects it, and makes an vid giving a brief explanation why and how things had changed in previous vids compared to new ones

Formulating a build is fairly simple to me, since its similar to Warframe. But I do lack some understanding on what to aim for in certain aspects, so your vids help to fill in those gaps, without having to test everything myself - Thanks!

Shout out to spongebob for the data man. What a legend

I didn't think I would be eating breakfast being enlightened by your breakdown. Good stuff man!

I can piece together a good build when I know what everything does so build guides are meh to me, but that's why your videos are so useful, cus you explore the deeper mechanics that let me know how to make a good build in the first place, thanks man, much respect 👍

I'm really glad I found you for this kind of information. I wonder when someone will figure out formulas to figure out effective hit points for all stat ranges so that we can figure our our builds even better. It wouldn't even need to be that detailed, just show based on max rolls on each possible external component and base stats for each descendant to give an idea what to aim for

I always appreciate and value your analysis of the topic you are covering. Keep it up

I have my own excel file with many tables on builds, tests and other thing. These videos helped develop a set understanding of the game and enabled me to make my own builds

Hugely helpful as always, thanks bro!

Love watching this guy for TFD content. Gives us a better understanding, thanks man!

I need a moment to let that all soak in! Great video and perfect pacing, didn't have me pausing every 3 secs like some.

The phrase "damage takeable" is generally referred to as "Effective HP' in common game interactions. Just an fyi.

Thank you for this, I didn't even know about slayer set and it is exactly what I need

Thank you for all the useful information.

Well, thank you, I learned that there are sets in the game and I've been trying to think about the best way to build my bunny, now that you've given me a better idea on what I should be doing then I can do it.

Worth noting, if you're not running a set, some of the set pieces get higher values, such as the annihilation memory getting 646 HP instead of 484.

Having two DEF lines on your Memory unit gives you 8-9k total DEF (depending on your rolls). You add the ~2k innate DEF of your descendant to that, and you get roughly 10-11k DEF. Paired up with Iron Defense or Spear and Shield, you sit at around 19-20k DEF, which is a really nice amount to have for the average descendant. I think it's very much worthwhile to have double defense on Memory, because you just get so much out of it since almost every build already runs one of the purple defense mods for extra damage.

2:39 the base HP/Defense/Shield values are incorrect on Aux Power, Sensor, and Memory, each has one stat that is lower. Aux Power has lower base shield, Sensor has lower base defense, and Memory has lower base HP. Only the Processor doesn't have one of it's base stats lower than the others.

With Gley, she has no shield or MP, so all those modules that rip away shield or MP, or only take effect at 0. Those are all just positives for her.
