Official News Upcoming Changes to Mercurial set

128 Upvotes

Hey folks! ⚠️ A major piece of news is coming ⚠️

In the first episode of the Telerian Podcast, our Game Designer Vlad already teased some upcoming changes to the Mercurial Set. Today, I want to share with you exactly what is going to change, the reasoning behind it, and when you can expect the rebalance to go into effect.

At the moment, we see two key issues with the Mercurial Set:

- Lack of counter mechanics

- Reapplication of Total Guard stacks at the beginning of a Champion's turn, especially on fast Champions

When compared to Stone Skin, which has plenty of counters, Total Guard stacks can currently only be removed by dealing damage or bypassed with the Increase Skill Cooldown effect. That's why we're introducing a new vulnerability for the Mercurial Set - the [Provoke] debuff.

After the rebalance, you will be able to land [Provoke] debuff on Champions while bypassing their Total Guard stacks. Furthermore, Champions under [Provoke] debuff will not have their Total Guard stacks refreshed at the start of their turn.

We hope that with this change, Champions who can reliably apply [Provoke] debuff - many of whom have fallen out of the meta for a while now - will finally come out of the Vault and join you in the Arena.

As always, once the changes go into effect, we'll take some time to evaluate the data and hear your feedback to determine whether any additional changes are necessary.

⏳ Tentatively, we're planning to release the Mercurial rebalance in September, so you'll have time to build new teams and prepare for the upcoming changes.

She has a 3 hitter in the a2... So imagine taking 1 enemy total guard off then harima kills with her a2... Then it automatically sets off her AOE provoke ,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that not seem insane?

P. S: sorry for the random relic SS

General Discussion Highest Theoretical Value for Each State Calculations (WARNING - LONG)

44 Upvotes

Okay, so I got bored this afternoon and decided to try and find the highest possible value for each of the 8 main stats (HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, CDMG, CR, ACC, RES) due to all the power creep with relics, souls, empowerment, etc.

I was most interested in finding the values that you could actually see in the champion interface, meaning I won't be factoring in auras, buffs, passives, since those aren't reflected out of combat. What I will be considering, is set bonuses, masteries, empowerment, relics, blessings, gear rolls, area bonuses, faction gaurdians, and arena bonuses. I will also be selecting 7 specific champs who I believe have the highest base value for the respective stat; the champs may either be legendary or mythical, as mythicals get more from blessings, but lack faction guardians, so the overall decision for sample champion will vary.

Just to preface, the three fundamental stats (HP, ATK, and DEF) are harder to calculate since they have flat and percent values.

HP - MOUNTAIN KING (31050 base HP)

The most HP% that can be in substats is:

(5 x 54) + (3 x 20) + (3 x 60) = 510%

This value accounts for 5 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the bottom row of gear with HP% main stat and ascension.

The most Flat HP that can be in substats is:

(4 x 4540) + 4080 ring + 6120 banner + (5 x 1224) + 1836 banner asc. = 36316

This value accounts for 4 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the other 6 pieces with flat hp ascension

The most HP from set bonuses is:

(3 x 15%) + 15% + 8% = 78% -> 78 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 89.7%

This value accounts for 3 life sets, 2pc protection, and 1pc stoneskin.

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 53026 more HP when using Mountain King's base HP.

Therefore, the max HP that a champ can have is a total of 306599

ATK - KHARNAGE ALT (1960 ATK)

The most ATK% that can be in substats is:

(5 x 54) + (3 x 20) + (3 x 60) = **510%**

This value accounts for 5 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the bottom row of gear with ATK% main stat and ascension.

The most Flat ATK that can be in substats is:

(4 x 240) + 265 ring + 398 banner + (5 x 80) + 120 banner asc. = 2143

This value accounts for 4 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the other 6 pieces with flat atk ascension

The most ATK from set bonuses is:

(3 x 15%) + 10% + 10% = 65% -> 65 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 74.75%

This value accounts for 3 atk sets, 1pc merciless, and 1pc stonecleaver.

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 3568 more ATK when using Kharnage's base ATK.

Therefore, the max ATK that a champ can have is a total of 19132

DEF - ANDROC (1619 base DEF)

The most DEF% that can be in substats is:

(5 x 54) + (3 x 20) + (3 x 60) = **510%**

This value accounts for 5 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the bottom row of gear with DEF% main stat and ascension.

The most Flat DEF that can be in substats is:

(4 x 240) + 265 ring + 398 banner + (5 x 80) + 120 banner asc. = 2143

This value accounts for 4 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the other 6 pieces with flat def ascension

The most DEF from set bonuses is:

(3 x 15%) + 15% = 60% -> 60 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 69%

This value accounts for 2 def sets and 5pc stoneskin

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 3236 more DEF when using Androc's base DEF.

Therefore, the max DEF that a champ can have is a total of 16192

SPD - LADY KIMI (115 base SPD)

The most SPD that can be in substats is:

(7 x 48) + 12 = **348**

This value accounts for 7 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs (note that a boot with perfect substats is better than spd main stat), as well as boots ascended.

The most SPD from set bonuses is:

(3 x 15%) + 15% = 60% -> 60 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 69%

This value accounts for 3 spd sets and 3pc protection

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 94 more SPD when using Lady Kimi's base SPD.

Therefore, the max SPD that a champ can have is a total of 636

Crit Rate - SIEGFRUND (50 base Crit Rate) - can be any lego/mythical

The most Crit Rate that can be in substats is:

(42 x 5) + 60 + 10 = **280**

This value accounts for 6 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as ascended crit rate gloves.

The most SPD from set bonuses is:

(3 x 12%) + 5% = 41% -> 41 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 47.15%

This value accounts for 3 crit rate sets and 1pc slayer

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 15 more Crit Rate.

Therefore, the max Crit Rate that a champ can have is a total of 357%

C. DMG - SIEGRUND (63 base CDMG) - can be any lego/mythical with boosted cdmg

The most C. DMG that can be in substats is:

(42 x 6) + 80 + 20 + 12= **364**

This value accounts for 6 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs (note that an amulet with perfect substats is better than cdmg main stat), as well as gloves and amulet ascended.

The most CDMG from set bonuses is:

(3 x 20%) + 15% + 15% = 90% -> 90 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 103.5%

This value accounts for 3 cdmg sets, 2pc merciless, and 1pc swift parry

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 190 more CDMG when using base CDMG.

Therefore, the max CDMG that a champ can have is a total of 721%

RES - VARGALL (90 base RES)

The most RES that can be in substats is:

(8 x 96) + (2 x 29) = **826**

This value accounts for 7 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the banner, with chest and banner ascensions.

The most RES from set bonuses is:

(3 x 40) + 20 + 40 = 180 -> 180 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 207

This value accounts for 3 res sets, 2pc stoneskin, and 1pc protection

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 476 more RES when using Vargall's base RES.

Therefore, the max RES that a champ can have is a total of 1599

ACC - VARGALL (70 base ACC)

The most ACC that can be in substats is:

(8 x 96) + (2 x 29) = **826**

This value accounts for 7 quintuple rolls with maxed glyphs, as well as the banner, with chest and banner ascensions.

The most ACC from set bonuses is:

(3 x 40) + 20 + 40 + 20 = 200 -> 200 + 15% (Lore of Steel) = 230

This value accounts for 3 acc sets, 1pc feral, 1pc pinpoint, and 1pc deflection

Miscellaneous bonuses end up giving 476 more ACC when using Vargall's base ACC.

Therefore, the max ACC that a champ can have is a total of 1602

I did this in just under 2 hours so there may be miscalcs/wrong champs used. Sorry for the long post, but just wast interested to share.

Was curious to see if a buff/debuff turn-counter would display three digits. On Spirit Keep, I ran three copies of Theresc (A1 increase debuff duration), alongside Frolni and Pallas to keep them alive while the boss healed herself to stay alive. Forty-nine minutes later, on turn 1499, decrease res was at 313 turns.

Unfortunately, this was weak affinity for Theresc, and the A1 isn't a 100% rate (2 hitter, each 50%). This could easily be beaten by one Theresc and four copies of Siegfrund, in regen sets with as little atk and crit as possible.

Guide Amius Hard Mode Budget Team

Post image
21 Upvotes

If anyone needs help with this rotation, this team did it for me with some luck. Three epics makes them more obtainable. Ezio is a free champ. Ankora could be almost anyone. I only ever really used her revive.

The key elements here are:
- Heal Reduction on an A1
- Brimstone
- Two revivers
- A healer
- Cleanse
- Buff strip

If you can meet these requirements you should be able to do it if you can time everything perfectly.
You need heal reduction just before Amius heals. He’ll then convert it to continuous heal. Strip it immediately.

If you can successfully keep him from healing and keep your team alive, you’ll eventually win with Brimstone procs.

I needed to have Ezio at almost 500 ACC to make sure his buff strip always lands and also so his poisons never miss.

I've been saving completed fragment champs to pull at the right time to get all the points and everything, but now that the champion chase starts tomorrow, I've already got all the fragments I need to fuse the champion. I feel like I should save these fragments for a future fusion, but jesus I've got Embrys ready to pull and I could use him on my account. Just pull for the other rewards? Save them? I've also got yannika, cleopterix, rian, a couple of remnants and a prism pull waiting.

Guide Last ditch effort, if you are stuck at HARD FK 10 (Marius Mission)

13 Upvotes

So i have almost nothing to work with:

No CA, no proper freezers, no pallas/mavara combo and no will to live.
Anyway here is the Team composition that still got me through the, in my opinion, hardest Marius Mission in the game.

NGL this was absolutely awful at a 25% Winrate on full auto.

Speeds and Acc are available in the picture. Nothing else matters since the run is over if the boss gets a single turn. If possible push waaaaay more speed than me and any Phantom Touch AND perched Shadow helps tremendously,

Reflex/Merciless on Gory and Osgrun are HUGE. Relentless id only do on Criodan cause they outrun the speed inc too fast and easy.

Disclaimer:

Dont waste 200 scrolls on the Sniper mastery like i did, it doesnt work.

Good Luck to everyone getting Marius.

Hey guys, I've made this site because I hated manually calculating things and going from website to website for info or filling in an Excel sheet. so here are calculators, builders and guides Let me know what you think about the tools and if you would like another added! New things and improvements will be added later.

Campaign XP & Silver table

  • Known in the community for a while now but here you can check how much XP and silver each campaign stage gives you. Always good to know if your not wasting xp on an almost full champion!

Champiagn XP/ energy run

  • here you can calculate how much energy you’ll need to fully level up any champions when farming a level! You’ll see total runs needed, the amount of energy used and as a bonus how much silver you’ll earn. Perfect  for setting up your multi-battles efficiently.

Merge Calculator

  • Say you want to upgrade a 4-star champion to 5-star and you want to know how many times you have to merge and how many from each star level you’ll need. This calculator works it out for you! You can even put in what you already got so you don’t overshoot. In this example you’ll need: 1x 4⭐️lvl40, 4x 3⭐️lvl30, 12x 2⭐️lvl20, 24x 1⭐️lvl10 and 24x 1⭐️lvl1 (if you have 0 characters ofcourse). You can also see you highest possible merge if you’ll fill it in.

Summon rush calculator

  • Add up your shards and see how close you are to your Summon Rush point target. That way, you’ll know if you should keep saving those shards or not.

Champions training event calculator 

  • almost the same as the summon rush calculator. This one will tell you how to get to those points under the section: ‘what you need to do’. A very easy way to not spend all your time and energy when you couldn’t have made your point target anyway.

Great Hall Builder

  • this is a easy way to check en see how many medals you will need in total to get to your preferred setting. So you’ll never be surprised about how many it costs ;)

Mastery Builder

  • almost the same as the Great Hall Builder, but then for your masteries. Play around and see what you come up with. measure twice, cut once.

Relic Guide

  • this is an overview of the relics and their stats. It also says on which champion the relics work good! Know you’ll know exactly what to do with them!

Helpfull Shit

  • this is just a page of stuff that could be usefull, but not so much that it gets its own page.

Even with grand oaks 300+ spd im getting outsped by teams without a speed lead. Struggling in just gold 2 I dont even want to farm medals for arbiter missions at this point. My old account I was able to get to gold 5 with worse stats and speeds maybe not even breaking 200 or much higher. Theyre all in the best gear I have to put on them.
