00:00hey guys welcome back to AFK journey in
00:02today's video I got to talk about
00:03something that's just absolutely crushed
00:06my soul uh and that is to do with
00:08exclusive equipment now this is
00:09something I actually never knew I've
00:11spoken to a lot of people people have
00:13been playing for over a year on PTR and
00:16they didn't know about it now I'm sure
00:17there are some people that knew but it's
00:19a situation that like we haven't really
00:21got into before with the majority of
00:23players to be able to check it and that
00:26is if you didn't know and this is
00:27something we've really got to consider
00:29when we looked to Celestial hypens in
00:31the future especially support Celestial
00:33hypens in my opinion so when we go to
00:36your exclusive equipment you can see my
00:38taen she is Mythic plus I want to get
00:40her to plus 15 so I can get the Revival
00:42on an ally I click enhance I need to
00:45have her at Supreme to unlock this now
00:48this is something like I said stupidly I
00:51never realized this because it's a
00:53situation that for freeo playay players
00:56which are the ones would which will will
00:57get a character to Mythic plus sort of
00:59leave them there and then you know put
01:01further investment into the sign the the
01:04exclusive equipment I don't know if I've
01:05been saying signature I I get it
01:06confused with AFK Arena but the
01:08exclusive equipment every character in
01:10the game pretty much I I don't think
01:12there's one character besides festo and
01:14tenen every other character gets the key
01:17unlock that most people are going for
01:19for effectiveness at either plus 5 or+
01:2210 and it's something I didn't notice
01:24with festo because not many free-to-play
01:26people were going for him and the whales
01:28that go for him normally just take him
01:30all the way straight to supreme Supreme
01:31plus so I have not seen anyone mention
01:33this and like I said everyone I asked
01:35didn't know about it but now we're in
01:36this situation with tenen and festo
01:39where their key ability unlock is at
01:42plus 15 but to get to+ 15 you have to be
01:46at Supreme now this changes like I said
01:49the way we look at uh the value in
01:51Celestial hypens now to be fair with
01:54damage dealing or tanking uh Celestial
01:57Hans you kind of think you want to go to
01:59Supreme Plus for them anyway because you
02:01know that's how you get the stat
02:02throughput for them to be able to
02:04actually you know deal more damage or
02:06tank more damage and stuff like that but
02:08what my plan with tailing was because
02:11Mythic plus is a good level to get to
02:13for a freeo play in my opinion so my
02:15plan was going to go all the way into
02:17the red use all of my red upgrade Stones
02:19as well and get her srem as high as
02:21possible to sort of alleviate some of
02:23the stat loss that I've got by not
02:25having a supreme Supreme plus like some
02:27of my full faction characters but now I
02:29actually have to go ahead and get her to
02:31Supreme which is another two copies that
02:33I have to get just so I can unlock the
02:36uh the added ability on her exclusive
02:38equipment to give my Ally the revive now
02:41once again it's not the end of the world
02:43for me cuz taking her to Supreme I I I'm
02:46happy to put the two extra copies in to
02:48get the extra stats out of it anyway but
02:50it's just frustrating that this is why
02:53every other character in the game like
02:54even if we go to characters like uh
02:56Rainer for instance uh if we go to his
03:00equipment uh obviously rainy's big one
03:03is just unlocking his exclusive but to
03:05get the additional effect it unlocks at
03:08level three which is+ 10 and then always
03:10with every other character they get the
03:12key upgrade on their uh on their
03:14exclusive equipment on either level two
03:16or level three and then normally level
03:18four is just a stat increase but I
03:20noticed with festo they changed his to
03:22be the higher one and this appears to be
03:24wise so that they can entice you into
03:26going to at least Supreme to unlock that
03:30but once again I did like the
03:31calculations on how many summons we're
03:33getting and stuff like that and if we're
03:34looking at getting like 8 to 10 copies
03:37of a slal hypen based on pities per
03:40season and they're releasing three of
03:41them well now that one that we need to
03:44get like now we're looking at getting
03:46one of them to a viable option of
03:47supreme if you want to get the full
03:49functionality out of their exclusive
03:51equipment so as we go forward with other
03:53characters this is something we're
03:55really going to have to consider so now
03:56if you're building taen and you want
03:57that revive you are going to have to get
03:5910 copies of her now once again with a
04:01damage dealer it's kind of okay like I
04:03don't feel too bad about having to go to
04:06uh 10 copies of taen because it when I
04:08get to Supreme it's just going to give
04:10me more stats Supreme plus I'll probably
04:12skip because that's another four copies
04:14but with a support like for instance if
04:17Rainer had his uh additional effect
04:20unlocked through uh plus 15 it wouldn't
04:24be too much of an issue because that's
04:25not his core functionality the core
04:27functionality is the damage
04:28amplification that he gets
04:30uh when he unlocks his exclusive
04:32equipment but let's say we get a new
04:33character who's a support cesal hypergen
04:36kind of like rer and instead of having
04:38that core functionality locked behind uh
04:41the base exclusive equipment it's now
04:43locked behind the 15 now you're looking
04:45at 10 copies for a support character uh
04:47which is a lot steeper so just just to
04:50note when we do go ahead and look at
04:53Celestial hyps and investment in the
04:55future and it's something I'm going to
04:56have to really weigh up when when I
04:58finally get my video done about suggest
05:00suggestions on taen we're going to have
05:02to really consider these types of things
05:04now for me I am just going to go ahead
05:05and get my taen all the way to Supreme
05:07and invest in her I I planned to invest
05:09pretty heavily into her anyway because
05:11you know she is my first Celestial hyen
05:13that I've built on this account and I'm
05:15really enjoying her but like I said I
05:16just wanted to let you guys know about
05:18that because I had not seen anyone talk
05:20about it and I had not seen anyone get
05:21into that pickle until now because like
05:24I said festo free to play wer really
05:25going for and whales who are going for
05:27these units and dumbing into them are
05:28normally going to Supreme plus anyway so
05:31it was like this pickle that I'd never
05:32seen happen and with four faction Heroes
05:34no one's really taking them to plus 15
05:36unless you're a whale and you've already
05:37got them at Supreme plus so it was a
05:39really frustrating thing for me when I
05:42was trying to get that and now I can't
05:44do it because I've got to wait to get
05:45summons now if you want to if you want
05:47to see what's going to tilt me even
05:49further is the fact that if we go here
05:52to the stargazing station in the new
05:54event there is one more summon that I
05:55can get uh one one more stargaze summon
05:58and then after after the weekly reset
06:00cuz they've reduced it down to three I
06:02believe it is for uh Legend Arena I'm
06:05going to get four more and then I'm
06:07going to have to wait a whole another
06:08week just to get that additional one
06:10Stargazer to get my tailing copy so
06:13that's where we're at I do have enough
06:15Guild coins to get one copy but then I
06:16need to pity that next copy and then I
06:18will be able to have her at Supreme and
06:21that's kind of where we're at but like I
06:22said just something to really note but I
06:24want to take you guys in and show you CU
06:25I have been doing a bit more testing
06:27with taen as well and dude I have been
06:29loving her as you can see I have not
06:30been in the top 20 uh in my server since
06:33the season started and I got you know a
06:36bit behind uh but now we are managing to
06:39actually push in there now there is
06:41taken still 14 hours left so people may
06:44level up but in that time I can level up
06:46too and hopefully have a good attack but
06:48I have been using her uh if you go ahead
06:50and we take a look at mine here you can
06:52see we are using the tenen in the kroer
06:55here and um she's putting in a bit of
06:58work now I this team with taking tenen
07:01out and putting in my uh what's his face
07:05my Corin and it was about I think it was
07:09about 3 mil less damage now I I've
07:11experimented with a fair few teams this
07:13is currently my best team obviously I
07:15don't have the Mythic plus Ria if you do
07:17he's probably still going to be better
07:18in here but what I am really loving with
07:20taen uh is her sort of Versatility in
07:24that she's just solid in a ton of places
07:28in the game which is absolutely
07:30fantastic but let's go ahead and I'll
07:32show you guys like the kind of thing
07:33that she's doing in kroer here if I go
07:35to mine let's go here and go replay but
07:40yeah she is working super well so the
07:41thing with kroer that she does is she
07:43like keeps everyone well topped off now
07:45I did try using um what's his face Corin
07:48instead of Coco in this one uh but it
07:51just didn't work out quite as well uh so
07:54I've tried a bunch of different
07:54formations this is still turning out to
07:56be my best but you can see here in kroer
07:58I still have it so that Thor is getting
08:00killed uh because if taen keeps getting
08:02killed then she uh she just keeps having
08:04time to reset Which is less optimal I
08:07did try having her get killed instead of
08:08Thoren and having Thor for amplification
08:10like I said I tried dropping Thorn as
08:12well uh for uh what's his face for Carin
08:15but this just turned out to be my best
08:17one now the the unfortunate thing on
08:18kroer is she does uh get knocked down by
08:20the swipe and she has to reset but in
08:22general she's been working pretty well
08:24for me she puts in decent damage she
08:26provides a good good chunk of sustain as
08:28well uh and yeah she's just been pretty
08:30solid and like I said I've been
08:32absolutely loving her as that unit
08:33that's just absolutely solid everywhere
08:35now for PVP I think it's going to be
08:38even better once I get her uh 215
08:40exclusive equipment and supreme and I
08:42think then she's going to do a lot
08:44better on top of that um but as you can
08:46see like she's doing not too bad and you
08:48can see here my damage uh is 252 and to
08:51get top 10 it's 286 so I do have a fair
08:54way to go but it's not too bad and I'm
08:56pretty happy with where my account is
08:58sort of level out to with the addition
09:01of T like I said she's a pretty solid
09:04unit and I feel like she's just good
09:06everywhere like even though uh something
09:08like Rainer is like sort of just better
09:10at uh straight bossing you know going to
09:13get you those scores and bosses I feel
09:14like Tage is that unit like I I feel
09:16like I want to bring her into every
09:18battle everywhere I go uh as a free to
09:20play because I don't have every option
09:22it's kind of like you know festo you
09:24know very high deficit pushing festo you
09:26know you want festo for that tanking um
09:28so he's going to specialize in that you
09:30know bossing you're going to get uh the
09:32Rainer specialization uh to be fair
09:34scaler is another unit that's pretty
09:36splashable but I don't know for me tenen
09:38just feels so good to play and she's
09:40been so comfortable uh but I will I I
09:42have a few people that I do want to chat
09:44to and before I make my full video on
09:46recommendations on pulling and stuff
09:48like that because it is a big decision
09:49that you got to make and a lot of people
09:51will be making that decision after
09:52they've already probably built rer and
09:53then they're going to be start gradually
09:55building copies into her if that's what
09:57they want to do so I do want to get
09:58really prise thoughts around the taline
10:01but once again now we will have to be
10:03considering the fact that if you do want
10:05to get her to the fact that she has a
10:08revive for an ally you are going to need
10:1010 copies instead of the eight I really
10:13don't like this system honestly I I just
10:15think it's really frustrating that I I
10:18feel like if you get to the the stage
10:19where you unlock this you should be able
10:20to just upgrade like you've unlocked it
10:23let me just put by resources into it
10:24don't gate me what I'm really hoping is
10:27that I'm not capped at 15 uh once I get
10:30to Supreme and then like I need Supreme
10:31plus to go beyond 15 that would really
10:33tilt me because I feel like this is the
10:35thing that's locked behind Supreme plus
10:37plus 15 is the thing that's locked
10:39behind Supreme please let me go beyond
10:41so I can dump all of my red ones into
10:43her as well and just get as many stats
10:45as I can I feel like once I got it to
10:47Supreme and then I put all of my Reds
10:49into it um then I get I get a good stat
10:52alleviation of not having a supreme
10:54Supreme plus so then I save four copies
10:57to go into my next Celestial hypen
10:59and then I still have some decent stat
11:01throughput with my T for her damage and
11:04her healing but you know it is what it
11:06is but I just want to let you guys know
11:08dude we are we are stacking up the
11:09savings here we're up to 124 we're up to
11:1176,000 diamonds dude give me the grave
11:13one Healer hopefully he's good enough
11:14for me to Warrant pulling because uh
11:16dude I need to start pulling something
11:18but anyway that's all I wanted to cover
11:20apologies for not picking up on that
11:22sooner but like I said it's that weird
11:23situation that we I I'd never really
11:25seen someone ever talk about cuz people
11:27don't really get into that position but
11:28anyway I'm up now as always thanks for
11:30watching hope you have an awesome day
11:31and I'll look forward to seeing the next
