    I've had some of the funniest runs solo in Descent, I've run super 90 with 6 tier unhinged and demolished everything at the cost of suddenly looking at the ceiling. BUT the fact I can make stuff like that is one of the most fun parts to this mode!
    Edit: Bullet Hell makes you almost godlike with shotguns, pair that with Breathe Free and Plague of The Outcasts and you have a monster of a build. RNG hasn't been kind to me to give me the weapons I desire to use these talents all together with but maybe at some point I'll be able too :)

    Chatterbox talent and Lucky shot can basically give you infinite ammo, I’ve had several situations where my mag refreshed for no clear reason to near double the normal amount. There are definitely some funky things happening with talent interaction.

  • @socialwill
    @socialwill Před 11 měsíci +3

    I will disagree on the exotic talents. IMO Plague of the Outcasts is the top talent to get. It keeps damaging enemies and can quickly eliminate and entire spawn at a door during loops. Diamond back is OK, the problem is if you have lots of enemies around you you might not hit the marked target all the time.
    Also, early on, don’t get skills that can be hijacked and used against you with Nemesis. Stick with Burn, Bomb, Chemical cloud, Holographic decoys, and Revive. Plus give yourself a skill tree bump at least once. It does boost that skill pretty well.

    • @CCM1199
      @CCM1199 Před 7 měsíci

      Plague of the outcast is second to bullet hell. Doctor home is the 3rd goto for exotics. my top exotics: Bullet Hell, Plague of the outcast, blood sucker and Doctor home. I dont use any other exotic talent as I found them to be lackluster.

    Rush the Nemesis then he punches you and smashes all your armour, on top of that sometimes using a med kit, doesn't heal you or work and it vanishes out of your inventory.
    Plus solo is one thing , in a group your basically fighting legendary all the way through.
    Seeing as we are basically being nerfed to level 1 the NPCs should level accordingly.

    • @Reslivo
      @Reslivo Před rokem +2

      Just avoid the punch. Run towards him, then sharply turn away or go behind him. Shoot. Repeat.
      These ads are by no means close to legendary. If you pick the right talents, they don't hit hard and they die pretty quickly. They also scale quite nicely as it is.
      This is exactly how Descent should scale. It just needs more additions to make it more replayable now.

      If players start getting fed up with playing this mode for 30 minutes to an hour then get obliterated by OP NPCs on the way to fight the Nemesis, then those players will simply stop playing, then consider the rewards, those caches you get, there is nothing different to what a group could get playing Heroic.

    What worked for me
    1 Load up on red talents at the beginning cause the floors are easier.
    2 Choose armor alot....
    3 always save money to buy extra slots for your talents
    4 aim all talents for damage that you can... such as yellow talents might give you weapon handling is better than skill haste.
    5 get special ammo and hold onto it in a weapon till needed
    6 get armor on kill or armor regen if possible... make the most out of all the armor youve chosen
    Talents for dam
    Armor for core
    Armor regen, etc from whatever else
    Thats it.
    Edit: the MOST difficult thing of the mode is TIME... this takes hours and i got bored af and basically got killed due to wanting to get out after 4 hours
    And having no real benefit to playing that four hours? I just dont see myself doing this very much.

    I would argue that plague of the outcasts is better than the chameleon talent. If you’re using bullet hell and the diamond back talent, I don’t see the need for that one. I always use plague, DB and bloodsucker. These 3 usually make all content a breeze after I’ve gotten 6 red talents and only choosing blue cores. I also use the burning sticky with the root foam for the extra damage to the nemesis. Usually make the fight a breeze.

    You can add, Trauma for the Yellow core as its really nice to blind and bleed targets. I dont use insulated unless I really have to and I start seeing rooms with more with hazards in them. IF i'm using a rifle such as the M1A (which I did because it hits like a truck), Unhinged is a no-go due to the fact that you become unstable as you upgrade that mod. by rank 3 its literally uncontrollable. Ill use it for any AR/LMG/Shotgun (which is wierd because unhinged affects single firing weapons only) for weapons I usually go for the AK-M, M1A (last resort), L86A2 LMG or Super 90 shotgun. If none of them come up as a first choice, Ill leave the game mode and restart until I get that one that I need to start the push. As far as Exotic talents is concerned, Bullet hell, blood sucker, Plague of the outcast and Doctor holm are the ones I chase for. If Im setting up for a shotgun build, I would run all talents that increase damage and give more benefits like stability, accuracy, ammo reload to the shotgun. I may take at the max 3 red cores to pump up the damage on the weapon a little. but the rest of the time, its blue core.

    Pistols have an often overlooked stat that is a large part of what makes them so good in descent, the naturally high base HSD% bonus. Each weapon class has its own base HSD% SMGs have a 50% base, ARs have 55%, rilfes 60%, MMRs actually have 0%, and pistols have 100% base HSD%. This makes them really strong and can 1 shot enemies even at high floors with the right setup, while also being very strong at the start when you have no other sources of damage buffs other than the base HSD%.

      @mauriciocastillo7302 Před rokem +1

      What kind of build are you using, and how are you dying to them: do they rush you, their skills down you?
      I don't have problems with the rogues unless I get them in the combustion lab. I had them on loop 33, and it took around 30 seconds to defeat them. Using a shotgun and staying in cover (especially elevated) are how I deal with them; you can quickly aim out of cover and shoot once without them shooting you, which favours high damage weapons. Also, they aren't particularly aggressive either.
      I use a crit-based build, breathe free, plague of the outcasts (POTO), and the M870 & magnum. The M870 allows me to get a lot of instant damage to the rogues (if they are close), then I can switch to the magnum for higher POTO ticks if needed; this usually defeats them in 1-2 magazines. If they are far away, I will just use a stable AR to build POTO stacks, then switch to the magnum.
      The decoy is a great way to take aggro from you and their skills,, grenades are a good way to get them out of cover, and knowing common spawns helps.

    Breathe Free + Bullet hell is crucial for higher loop runs. I should try incorporating diamondback into my runs for more guaranteed crit. And I’d choose rifles over lmgs for ranged attacks.
    For offensive talents, I’d highly recommend composure, gunslinger and versatile as they are raw damage for literally using cover and switching your weapons.
    Leadership, even solo, is also slept on, as you can easily get a shit ton of bonus armor just for moving cover-to-cover and even over short distances like moving to the same piece cover 2 feet away.
    And I notice a lot in your early loops where you almost die because you’re openly pushing a door where you can just as safely do so from cover. That strategy legit sucks after loop 1 as outcast, hyena, and cleaners rushers exist and will either immediately fuck you up or stun lock you to be fucked up by someone else.
    Otherwise, great tips on resource/currency management.

      I should've mentioned in the video, that the footage is from the previous WR speedrun so doesn't follow the same ruleset, and is played unnecessarily risky hence the few close calls (anything for speed, right?) :D

      @@hutchler Thanks for replying! Should’ve recognized the speed run traits.. my bad. Also, I found that the best ammo for nemesis is incendiary. It locks him for a while where as he’ll just ignore shock altogether and foaming him up close is risky. And be mindful of the skills that you take to him as he’ll usually use the same or a variant

    My personal view is that Ubisoft wasted their time on this descent and would have been better spent on new areas like access to all buildings or make the DZ more assessable to the single players PvE with all difficulties on the map, or at lease made descent (Rename) as the training camp on how and where our agents become an agents and have to achieve a certain level to become an agent so as to enter the main game.

    I totally disagree on things u said. by far best exotic talent is plague of outcast. next in yellow where is trauma? next lot of red talent have to do with headshots but console players aren't shitting headshots like that. People beat nemesis all the time i hit easy rooms and at nemesis by loop 5 and beat him in 30 seconds.

      Afraid that's just not true lol. I understand what you mean about K+M, but I find it a bit harder actually on PC than Console, so much so that I bought a controller for PC. Having said that, it's really about the stability of the game on PC and constant crashes more than anything. I'd describe myself as a "PC Master Race" gamer TBH, so I went back to K+M when I came back after a long break. SHOT up in SHD and skill level just from watching vids of PC players. Seems silly, worked for me. Haven't cracked Loop 4 on descent yet, but I think this vid will help.

    Ima save yall a bunch of time. Just get entrench every time you see it. At tier 6 it Literally gives you a bunch of armor every 3 seconds from a headshot. Let that sink in for a moment. He never even put it as a good talent when its the best talent in descent because it gives you the best survivability. You can definitely hit tier 7 before nemesis if you choose double blue rooms.

      @hutchler I could go to loop 100 if my friends stayed on. & it don't matter what playstyle you choose. Gaining a full armor every 3 seconds at tier 10 is unmatched by anything you put against it. Clutch & preservation can't compete with it. Like I said Try it then tell me it's not the best. Especially when running the shotgun sniper combo. That's a free medkit every 3 seconds.

      @hutchler ok wise guy let's really talk about this. Unhinged tier 10 you'll be shooting the sky without brace & not being in cover. & even with the other 2 at tier 10 (which take of more space in your talent slots) youll still shoot upward without being in cover & makes run & gun harder. Vs optimist at tier 10 that gives you 30% weapon damage for every 6% missing from mag that you didnt even mention. Go all blue? For what when tier 6 skill with tier 10 surge gives your reviver hive a 83 second cool down with 7 revives for your teammates. Clutch better for what playstyle? because you almost died like 3 times in your own video from solo unscaled, untanky wunsealed, 1 nemesis. When 1 headshot could've replenished your armor. & to top all this off you're using precise for headshot damage but won't use entrench which works off headshot but want to talk playstyles? if you playing high floors you know to pick the 1st talent you would use at the high floors because around floor 40 you should already have 6 reds, 5 blues & 5 yellows all at max tier lol. So why not pick up 1st talent you use in the high floors regardless of what it is & just save your money to open up more slots every time you return to to start? Make it make sense my guy? 1 bullet full heal vs how many bullets to get a full heal?. It's only common sense. & going all blue makes the killing take to long when you can speck into reds & yellows to give yourself better survivability by killing faster & using glue or jammer or emp with a faster cooldown. You talk about high floors like yall the only ones who been there 😆

      The difficulty rating of rooms doesn't affect the actual difficulty whatsoever - and obviously if you're going for the fastest possible time you want to raise the heat percentage as quickly as possible.
      In casual runs with friends, we'll take whatever room yields the best chance of bettering our builds - whether that's a boss, hard, medium or easy build. The speedrun I did and this guide are two separate entities; when you run for a world record, of course it's different in both build and strategy to when you run for fun/high floors.
