00:00uh welcome to my Shockwave Cyclone
00:03progression guide to to hey red Maps
00:06this guide I'm going to go over or what
00:09passive notes you need to pick what gems
00:10you need to buy how to gear your
00:13character when you're very weak how to
00:15make efficient use of the very few
00:17resources you get early on and I'm also
00:20going to go over map progression how to
00:22get to t6s really fast how to get
00:26your two void stones on day one and and
00:30I'm also going to talk a little bit
00:31about early Game Gear progression so the
00:36first thing that's important to know is
00:393.25 the game will remove flat damage
00:41from skill gems from Attack skill gems
00:45so it becomes pretty important to get
00:47decent is gear already at the start so
00:50what I recommend is to first before you
00:53make your dual list is to create a
00:56ranger mule and the ranger mule
00:59basically check the vendor so you're
01:01going to check the vendor for certain
01:03colors in our case for three red two red
01:06one green or one green one red you also
01:09want to look for movement speed boots
01:12and if you have wisom Scrolls left you
01:14want to buy a rustic Sash and you want
01:17to check the implicit for height TI and
01:19if you have still fre wisdom Scrolls
01:21left you also want to buy an iron ring
01:23now this will help you go through the
01:25early game pretty comfortably so in
01:27general what you want to look for what
01:30currency you want to pick up basically
01:32transmutation orbs and you want to pick
01:35up early on in act one I would say
01:38couple magic items because they will
01:39sell for True transmutation
01:41shards if they un if you sell them
01:45unidentified if they are rare and
01:47unified items they will sell for five
01:50transmutation shards and these
01:52transmutation ORS you will need for
01:54resist resistance C you also need
01:56alteration orbs which you get by selling
01:59aent ified items two for magic items I
02:03wouldn't sell I wouldn't identify magic
02:06items I would only do this with rare
02:08items you also want to get a few
02:11blacksmith redstones a good source for
02:14them is Artis strong boxes but if you
02:17don't find any blacksmith wet Stones I
02:20wouldn't worry too much about it now
02:22these wet zones are important for the
02:25vendor recipe that gives gives a weapon
02:29increase phys damage and you can also
02:31use them to get quality on weapons and
02:34if you don't need either of these you
02:36can also sell them for four extra for
02:39four wisdom Scrolls you also want to do
02:42Essences you also want to do Essences
02:45because we do need Essences for one for
02:48a increased physical damage vendor
02:50recipe and they also help to craft your
02:54gear because they basically act as
02:57Alchemy orbs and will turn a
03:01item into a rare one and ideally if
03:04you're not very familiar with the
03:07marille fight you also want sapphire
03:09rings which you can get by selling an
03:11iron ring together with a blue gem so
03:14from level one to four I would recommend
03:18after you kill after you reach town I
03:22recommend using first Frost plates which
03:24you get from the ranger mule and you use
03:27that skill gem till level four where you
03:30get blood and Sand now you could already
03:33use perforate low too but perforate has
03:36two modes blood and Sand stance and in
03:40the blood stance is more tailored
03:43towards has a very blood stance has a
03:46very low area effect to enable the sand
03:49stance which is the more clearing mode
03:51for perforate you need blood and Sand
03:54the blood and Sand gam which you get a
03:57level four so I recommend using
04:02alternative to the alternative to
04:04perforate would be Spectra and it is one
04:08of the best leveling skills but it
04:11requires pretty good positioning to get
04:13the most damage out of it so for
04:16beginners I would say use perforate at L
04:20four after mlet quest you get blood and
04:22Sand which is necessary for perforates
04:25you also get War Banner which provides
04:27you a temporary buff which will change
04:30in 3.24 I believe it's more physical
04:333.24 and you'd also want to buy a frost
04:36blink and you want to keep the frostling
04:39at level one because it is a
04:41intelligence based skill Gem and we do
04:43not get L of in so you also get Dash
04:46which will be your movement skill for
04:49now until you are able to use Frost
04:52blink after you kill so after you kill
04:56Brutus at L eight you can get the added
05:00support gem which will replace momentum
05:03then you can also which you also get as
05:06a when the reward is Leap slam and you
05:08want to buy fast attacks fast attacks
05:11will cost you one transmutation or and
05:13Lea slam together with fast attacks will
05:15be your movement skill you don't want to
05:17level up leap slam because if you level
05:20up leap slam your the Mana cost of this
05:24increase so you keep this skill gem at
05:27level one and you never level it up
05:29because you don't need to deal damage
05:31with this skill Gem and ideally you also
05:36flasks for the majority of the campaign
05:39actually until you get reduced man cost
05:42of attacks passive nodes or the minus
05:47Mana cost Aron rings so an important
05:50early vendor recipe is the rasic sash
05:54with the wet stone recipe so what you do
05:57is you sell a set say your weapon soell
06:01for example a weapon that's not very
06:04good for example for example you sell an
06:07ax or a sword together with a rare
06:10rustic Sash and a redstone and what that
06:13will do is basically turn you a weapon
06:17with the serated mod which gives you
06:19increased physical damage you can also
06:21get a lower tier mod if you do this if
06:25you use a magic rustic sash the best way
06:27to get a ra rustic sash
06:30would be to use an Essence to make this
06:34rare rasic sash but you can also use an
06:37Alchemy or now I wouldn't recommend
06:39using an Alchemy or because you need
06:41Alchemy ORS to you need Alchemy ORS to
06:44buy gems later on and you also need it
06:48progression another useful vendor recipe
06:51is the Orman or to sell an organ or
06:55together with a quick server and your
06:56boots and what that will do is give you
06:59bo back with 10% increased movement
07:02speed and you can repeat this recipe to
07:05increase the tier of that movement
07:08speeds so if if your weapon is bit weak
07:11if your damage feels a little bit weak
07:13you want to check the vendor for better
07:15basis now for example at level 9 level 9
07:18you can equip J Chopper or at level
07:20eight you can equip long sword and these
07:24bases these weapon bases will always
07:26show up one level before you can equip
07:28them it's pretty important to check for
07:32to have good weapons because in 3.25 you
07:36won't have any flat damage on your skill
07:38gem so you're completely
07:40reliant on either gems like chance to
07:44bleed or just having better
07:47gear so here I have leveling trees from
07:5113 to 84 they usually in 12 level steps
07:56so this is going to be your tree at
07:58level 13 so afterwards in act two we
08:02want to look for a torur amulet we have
08:05strength based characters we don't get
08:08that much dexterity intelligence so we
08:11want to fill this fill these attributes
08:14with a toos amets and that enables us
08:17later on to use blood
08:20rage and also to use Frost blink and
08:25after fidil quest you can get blood Rage
08:28which you will need to just generate
08:29frenzy charges and you also get extra
08:32attack speed at the downside of having a
08:36d gen a 4% of you take 4% every second
08:40of your life you can also get a heral of
08:45buity on and heral of Ash all these gems
08:49cost alteration ORS now I would make
08:51sure before you buy a heral of Purity or
08:54her of Ash or wallet Mark that you have
08:57still have two alteration ORS so you can
08:59get M physical damage support and close
09:02combat which are really good support
09:05gems for perforate and you still have if
09:07you still have some alteration Ops left
09:10after that you can get heral Bey and
09:12heral of Ash which will boost your
09:14damage and wallet Mark you can use this
09:16to generate rage basically to generate
09:20Rage with wallet Mark you need to stun
09:22the opponent and then you will get 10
09:25rage for each for a stun and wall Mark
09:29also Pro provides a little bit sustain
09:30against Monsters so at level 24 you will
09:34start seeing falling bases in at the
09:37vender at the ACT threee render and
09:40onwards and you want to look for three
09:43red one green also you will get can you
09:48viability these two gems will boost your
09:51damage significantly at level 28 you can
09:53switch to Shockwave Cyclone but you will
09:57need Maes or you would need a maze or a
10:03Shockwave so you ideally you'll be
10:05looking for such weapons already before
10:1028 and if you don't get a good one I
10:12would just delay the switch it's not big
10:15deal because per is pretty strong so
10:17ideally you get a because a ma will be
10:20easier to roll if you have a staff then
10:23you probably use infused channeling
10:25because a staff is strength and int
10:28based so chances of rolling a blue blue
10:33socket are pretty high in that case you
10:36want to do the library Quest because
10:39there you will get infused channeling
10:41which is a blue Gem and is ideal for
10:43cyclone and you will also get
10:46puliz which increases the AOE of cyclone
10:50and also gives you more damage
10:5324 this master is pretty good gives 40%
10:57increased damage these nodes give you a
10:59little bit of physical damage
11:01reduction so you acquire Cyclone after
11:04kill cisus in act three from maram MOA
11:07and you link this with the first gem you
11:09link it with is shock wave then you can
11:11use M physical damage so you won't be
11:14able to use close combat anymore because
11:16close combat only goes with sword and
11:19axis and as your fourth
11:21gem you want if you did the library
11:24Quest you would do you would use
11:27pulverize if you don't have Pulver you
11:29can use chance bleed I don't very much
11:32like chance bleed but because they
11:35remove flat damage from the skill gems I
11:38think this one is kind of okayish as a
11:42support gem but you will be replacing
11:44the support gem in act six after you do
11:47the Twilight strand Quest where you can
11:49buy pulverized and Infused
11:5436 is what the tree looks like so you
11:57want to pick these notes because they
11:58help you with getting dexterity
12:01intelligence dexterity intelligence is
12:03otherwise difficult to
12:05get this of course you also
12:09get tax and in from your turos amlet
12:12this is to ensure that you can use your
12:15gems and you would want to start paing
12:18down here these damage NOS are pretty
12:21efficient and if you do need more ins
12:25node so afterwards you progress to five
12:29and in act six you're going to get a
12:32resistance penalty after you kill well
12:34after you kill kav you get a resistance
12:36penalty so you want to make sure that he
12:38have like roughly or close to
12:42105% Elemental resistances if you're a
12:45little bit below it's not a big deal but
12:49ideally you use hatred anger R Essences
12:52on your armor pieces or belts because
12:55these Essences give resistances you want
12:57to check your gear for the suffixes you
13:00resistances also want to use your if
13:03you're lacking in damage you want to use
13:05your contempt Essences on on your weapon
13:08on a normal weapon normal Rarity weapon
13:12and you can use the rest of your
13:14Essences on rings it's what I recommend
13:18and hopefully you get a uh resistance
13:21roll on these Rings or
13:23amulets and ideally also in open
13:29in act and act five I would stay in
13:31chamber of Innocence till level 42
13:34because that zone has very good
13:36experience because there are many magic
13:38monsters as many magic monsters give
13:41increased experience as well as more
13:44Loot and if you're a beginner I would
13:47even stay there till 45 so you're a bit
13:50stronger 48 nothing special you do want
13:54this fortify otherwise you want to
13:58fortify master otherwise you have to use
14:01support and you want this one rage on
14:06node because rage now gives you more
14:10and for this one note you can basically
14:13get up to 30% one 30% more attack damage
14:17so this is pretty op oh something that I
14:20didn't mention if you're struggling to
14:23cap your resistances you can click these
14:25stamin skin notes obviously you get hit
14:28with a resistance penalty at in act six
14:33or after killing Kar rather you can also
14:36click these notes and these
14:39two so these are your options so 60 you
14:43can go for def more defensive nodes like
14:46these maxr nodes get more armor with
14:49these Al also helps you to get ready for
14:54maps you want a decent Maze and a
14:57staff the jump come from campaign to
15:00Maps is actually pretty huge so you want
15:03pretty pretty good gear if you don't
15:06have a decent staff or mace you want to
15:08use a contam Essence on a ma or staff
15:12and craft increased physical damage or
15:15if it has increased physical damage
15:16already you want to craft increased
15:18attack speed and if your characters too
15:20weak if you feel like you're dying a lot
15:22or if you don't deal enough damage you
15:25can Farm the Des grade Chambers Des
15:29created chamers is very similar to the
15:30Chamber of sins there are a lot of magic
15:33packs those magic packs give increased
15:37experience so you can Farm them or you
15:40can also do M lab or merciless lab which
15:44will give you a lot more currency
15:45because there are these treasure
15:48treasure chests that you can open they
15:50give you items isar himself gives you a
15:53lot of items but that zone has pretty
15:57experience but what you can also do
15:59there is get decent transfigure gems and
16:02you can also get the Quality
16:05Craft and use it on your Cyclone to get
16:08more movement speed or you can use the
16:11transfigure gem crafts on gems and sell
16:16them for a pretty high
16:18price but ideally you wouldn't do any of
16:20these steps uh you wouldn't do these you
16:24wouldn't Farm mer mer laap or desk
16:28create Chambers because it is very I
16:31would say it's pretty inefficient but if
16:33you're a beginner it's not a bad move I
16:38recommendable recommended 72 pre-
16:41straightforward after you click smashing
16:44strikes you want to click these
16:49nodes and you can al already start
16:51specking into some crit
16:54noes here for example because we are now
16:57going crits and you can use assassin
17:02vulnerability and you want the
17:04sovereignty you start paing to
17:06sovereignty so you can use D Pride as
17:08well as blood and Sand so for map
17:11progression what's important is I I
17:14wouldn't recommend clear full clearing
17:16wi Maps I would just focus on my
17:21because you can progress through yellow
17:24Maps even if you don't full clear
17:27maps by buying maps from K with chance
17:31Ops so you need but you need a lot of
17:33chance Ops if you're going to do
17:36that and you can get Chance Ops going to
17:40the jewelry vendor and buying chance
17:45with fusings and if you do a kission it
17:48will also refresh the vendor so you can
17:49look at you can buy new maps and you
17:52always want to check if you have
17:55completed the map objective you do that
17:57by holding the old key and hovering over
18:02the map so Alchemy ORS are needed by
18:05Rare Maps so that's why we didn't use
18:06them in the campaign to craft our
18:09gear and you also need to AR you your
18:13yellow maps to CL complete M objectives
18:17now I still wouldn't clear full clear
18:21the ti six ti7 T8 T T8 Maps unless
18:26you're running out of K missions and you
18:28don't have maps and all maps to buy and
18:31for red Maps I wouldn't use chos offs to
18:34buy red Maps because you will need a lot
18:38of chos ORS for the physical damage
18:40crafts as well as the error and ring
18:42crafts which is which are in essential
18:45to reduce the Cyclone Mana
18:50cost and is pretty difficult to get a
18:54good Fizz weapon as a drop
18:56because weapons have a very high mod
18:59pool and the waiting of the increased
19:02physical damage mod is rather low one
19:05way to get really good physical damage
19:08weapons or not really good physical
19:10damage weap decent is for the early
19:13game is betrayal so what you do is so
19:17betrayal you can get the increased
19:20physical damage unveil on
19:22weapons and if you get another good mod
19:25with a open ax on your weapon
19:29you get a very very decent weapon so
19:33this is one way to to improve your
19:36damage tremendously now you also need to
19:39do to get the Aron signature craft which
19:44reduces the Mana cost of
19:48skills if you don't do that you need to
19:51use life life Tab support which is not a
19:59and another benefit of betrayals in the
20:02early game at least is you can
20:05get T3 or T4 vichi basically T3 refers
20:10to the ranks and if it's T4 it means
20:13that that you so you need to have vichi
20:17and transport if your vichi is at at
20:20rank three and you do a Caterina safe
20:23house you will get a ti4 vichi a tier3
20:26vichi will give you a crafting bench
20:29that links your item 5050 times and if
20:32you get a tier four you will get two of
20:34these crafting benches and V is also
20:37important because he has the signature
20:39mod increased damage while
20:41leeching and as Slayer we have over
20:43Leach so we are almost always leeching
20:46bet tra will also provide you with other
20:49Gear especially rings and amulets
20:52because you can do the fire and Chaos
20:55you can do the resistance unveils and
20:58you can do life unveils and then you can
20:59craft another good mod onto that ring so
21:043.25 endurance chares will be buffed now
21:08they also give you Elemental reduction
21:11and with Cyclone shopwave we
21:15stars and the notable smashing
21:19strike has the line 10% chance to gain
21:22endurance charge on really Critical
21:24Strike now after you allocate this
21:26notable you can go for Max endurance
21:28charges and this will be a endurance
21:32charges will be a great way to mitigate
21:34Elemental damage and physical damage and
21:37that physical damage reduction of
21:40charges is additive with
21:43the physical damage reduction you get
21:46from armor now I don't recommend
21:48dropping determination but you could do
21:51it if you have enough urance charges and
21:54you feel like you're tanky enough
21:56against physical damage and level 84
22:01you get a little bit of accuracy if you
22:04if you don't have any accuracy on your
22:05gear you can click these notes these are
22:08pretty efficient especially this
22:10accuracy Mastery so for for highy WAP
22:13Maps you want to look for certain
22:15upgrades so as previously mentioned you
22:17get from reach the signature mode
22:19increase damage while leeching this is
22:21you get roughly 40% increased damage
22:23from this craft so it's really good you
22:26want to look for accuracy rating
22:29on your jewelry or Helmet or
22:31gloves it's most likely to roll on
22:35helmets and you want a pretty decent
22:38staff with like 400 physical DPS from
22:41the trail or you just buy one from the
22:43trade s side you also want to start
22:45using the arrogance and precision setup
22:49what arrogance does is you Reserve Life
22:56because position Reserve a flat value
23:00and not a percentage value it is okay to
23:04use it to reserve life with it and
23:07ideally you also want a five link which
23:10you either can get from V by using these
23:12crafting benches or you just buy
23:16it on trades which typically on day one
23:20cost like one to two chos
23:23orbs and you can I use M physical as a
23:27fif link or infused channeling infused
23:29channeling has the advantage that you
23:31will also get a little bit
23:33tankier so for defense you want to
23:36allocate these Max assistance masteries
23:39so one for example is if every armor
23:45armor as armor you will get plus one to
23:47all Max resistances the other one is if
23:50you're reserving life you will get one
23:52to Max resistances so make sure you
23:54click these notes they give you quite a
23:57bit of Elementary reduction and I also
24:00recommend going for Max endurance
24:01charges you can also click the twoand
24:04Mastery which makes so I think for every
24:07red socket that your main hand weapon
24:09has you can you get 10% increased armor
24:14and you can also go for the staff
24:16Mastery which increases your defenses by
24:2130% which will help you with physical
24:29so I'm going to briefly talk about the
24:32atlas tree rather the rushing to two
24:37void Stones P threee so I usually start
24:41off by going this direction for
24:44betrayal so 40% should be enough to get
24:48all the important unveils get decent
24:51gear from Trail at up to when you when
24:55you hit level 85 is should probably all
24:58the unveils that you need and some
25:01betrayal then I start paing up here
25:06notes and go for for C missions C
25:10missions you need to buy to reset the
25:17maps and of course to get your map
25:20completions also through
25:24missions and you want to increase your
25:27chance to to drop higher tier maps with
