/vmg/ — Sword x Staff

heard it was extremely p2w and that boltray is actually boltrend

>>2026380
Unless you can provide proof of that, Boltray and Boltrend are NOT the same entities. Boltrend was based in Hong Kong and had no connection to G-bits/Leiting Games, who are the parent companies behind LTGAMES GLOBAL/Boltray Games. Boltray Games was also founded in Singapore in around 2023, which was the year Boltrend started to collapse and vanish by 2024.

Dunno why the game interests me but I'll definitely give it a shot.
What class are you going to use? I'm thinking of using the sword.

>>2026822
Going with Sword too, probably lock in as the DPS sub-class (the Duelist branch iirc)

How has everyone's experience been with the game so far? Are you having fun? Is it in line with your expectations?

My time with the game hasn't been great because I've run into issues binding my account; I'm using a MicroG services on my phone so the game is giving an error when I try to bind with Google (first time that has occurred). Playing on emulator (Mumu) isn't an issue, but now my name is in use by the guest account on my phone. Trying to delete a guest account needs you to log in to their website for some reason. I had no reason to log in with my Google account to delete a guest account, but I did it anyway to see what would happen. ...it let me delete my account (after 15 days of inactivity), after effectively binding my account just to attempt to delete the account. Of course, the account isn't bound when I exit back to the game. I also cannot sign into my Google-bound account on my phone. What a vexing experience.

>>2027075
it’s been enjoyable so far. level 22 and 26.1k combat power, just hit the first roadblock since next area is 30k cp recommended.

some codes: SS000, SS888, ZJ888, ZJ999, SS999, ZJ777, SS777

>>2027123
Thanks for the codes! I hit just under 26k now. Looks like things will slow down here drastically.

This game is pretty comfy, but I think I bricked my char since I didn't go with the BIS skill pathways.

>>2027359
What skill? Starting to feel the pain of not having a way to self-sustain as a DPS myself since none of the Mage players I've run into use some sort of support loadout even once.

Yoooo, I played this game today too. I basically am at like 29k and can’t progress much more but it’s super fun I think.
The strat is to spam farm the tree dungeon shit for the summons on that, you can farm like 200 summons that way or some shit.

At 38k power. Have no idea how people are over 100k. Is it purely a matter of spending money or am I missing something?
Went mage cause I never do the magic route. Regret it cause swords just look cooler.

>>2030779
what level? i’m about to ding 44 and at 93k cp as a f2p. there’s a whale at level 45 with like 600k cp already on my server.

>>2030779
F2P fags are around 130k today. Yes they paid money.

i didn't realize this game released already, i started only yesterday. mage is pretty cool. the sustain in this game is pretty ass, and i feel the dps difference between me and any sword class because they have the atk buff charm. might have accidentally bricked myself a bit on the gacha, i accidentally got to mage class level 19 instead of stopping at 18 and am hardstuck at the end of verdantgale due to the level 40 req for progress. pretty cute overall though, i'll prob stick with it for a while

>>2033149
level 50 you unlock pets and that’s another gacha you have to worry about.

the konosuba collab next week will probably determine if i stick with the game or not.

>>2033354
>the konosuba collab
?????
How? When we can only field 1 character

>>2034667
they’re companions so mainly stat sticks. they will also show up as party members in some event battles, just like the other companions do in some of the main story battles.

>>2034667
They're basically NPC party members you can deploy if there's absolutely no one willing to party with you in co-op content, but they're mainly used as stat sticks that help raise your power by leveling their bond levels.

So this is not newly released game? China already at season 6 with 6th class and if you're not picking mage you basically brick your account.

>>2035822
it’s been out in china, sea, japan for almost a year.
>you're not picking mage you basically brick your account.
you need to spend a good amount to even do well as a sorc, not to mention whale level to absolutely destroy shit.

What's the future plan for us for example do we save our gems for limited banner and etc.

>>2036334
gems won’t be use for limited and collabs. gotta fork out real money for packs that has the event currency.

>>2026346 (OP)
This game is fun. It sucks having bad taste, every game I like never has alot of motion.
>>2035822
Fuck. I'm a duelist, changing now would be a huge hassle.

jesas, there’s so many spenders in the game that it’s easy to get carried in dungeons and crucibles lol. we’re getting cross server play in a few days too.

For a game that already released on China this game have zero guide.
No I'm not joining Discord just for guide.

you can wait until you reach level 100 to do lossless class change, where you can switch classes and have your warrior skills convert to the equivalent of the mage class skills.

if you’re f2p, save the energy for the grand treasure hunt for next week so you can get the relic that has a chance to double chest drops in dungeons. if you’re a spender, you can get two of the 500 energy pack for 15 dollars each to get all the rewards each week.

>>2036962
There is no penalty for that? How about Knight to Duelist?

>>2037220
Anything else? I hate that even though I'm dolphin but I don't know secret tips because someone who already played on CN have huge advantage.

>>2037400
>There is no penalty for that?
no penalty. you can class change once a week and revert the changes in the first few hours of changing class if you want.
>How about Knight to Duelist?
yep, you can class change to any of the other three classes.
>Anything else?
nope, the couple guys that plays the chinese servers are dripfeeding the info as it gets close to release on global. i can at least provide you with this timeline i found that has an estimated release date for stuff on global so you can plan things out:
https://qenu.github.io/ethna-timeline/?start=20260519

>>2037425
Is there tier list?
I'm using youtube comment section as my source most of them said Knight is only good for now because of rebound skill after advance class release its start falling off so should I focus on Knight path or when I hit level 100 change path to Duelist?

>>2036843
>zero guide for Knight
Grim..... The fact that grifter choose to not make a guide for Knight is enough proof how dogshit Knight class

File: knightbuild1.png (1.06 MB, 995x1109)

>>2037829
here's some builds i found on discord. dragon should be crucible i think.

Knight Gear Substat Priority
TO: Essential (Meta Core)
• Double Block (The most critical stat for Knight survivability)
T1: High Priority (Strong Defense)
• Crit Resist & Block ≥ Auto-Protect > Crit Accuracy ≥ Shield Mitigation
T2: Utility & Offensive Scaling
• Block > DEF/HP/SPD to ATK Conv. > Mitigation & Healing Up > Double Crit >
PvP/PvM DMG Up & Mitigation
T3: Niche / Filler
• Accuracy > Crit Rate > Refresh ≥ Evasion > Shock Blast
F-Tier: Trash / Scrap (Avoid)
• Crit Resist, Teleport, Counter DMG Up, Resist to DEF Conv., Fire Ring, Extra Protection, Wind Cloak, etc.

I really liked the first couple days of this game but the big "just go afk" gates are testing my patience. "I don't care how good your build is, you cannot advance until level 42. You got that? Okay, immediately after that, without getting more statues to accelerate leveling, you do have to be level 44." I just want my advanced class, dawg. I hit the requisite job level 18 forever ago.

i don’t think we’re getting any new class outfits anymore after knight/duelist/sorceror/sage, which is kind of shitty. they really want us to buy new outfits every month i guess.

>minimum nameplate achievement requires 150 raids with at least one person <85% of your power level
why is this game so autistic

>>2038051
at least we’re getting carries because of it

>>2037924
How often do anime protagonists change their clothes? Pick one you like.

>>2037901
I think the guardrais get dropped once you hit Lvl 100 since that's the permanent hard cap and any level gained afterwards only counts towards a temporary seasonal level.

>>2039187
>permanent hard cap
are you sure? i looked at the timeline and it shows requirement above level 100 for future class advancements.

the whales can become literal gods in this game

>>2039217
yeah, the rank 1 player on my server is already at 1.02 million power. second and third rank is slightly above 900k.

so the attack % relics only affects the flat attack relics for that element. for example, if you have a light relic that gives 7.5% attack increase, it’ll only boost the other light element relics with flat attack.

>>2039217
>>2039224
Why does this matter

gonna take at least five days to get to level 82 for third class advancement. and the big power gap between warrior and mage is already starting to show itself at the start of the season.

Any guilds?

>>2040047
not any that would be relevant. almost everything social is server-specific, including guilds and friends lists

>thought i got overcharged like $20 from an iOS purchase
>my earlier r1999 purchase was delayed and added on to this one
oh phew haha... i should really track my spending on this stuff

Any tips for this void boss? My knight deal no damage because the boss have low damage so my counter build doesn't work.

didn’t realize how short the season is going to be. kinda looking pretty grim for f2p and low spenders with the next two dungeons’ cp requirements too.

>>2041245
I'm a low spender, can you please elaborate? I can get consistently top 33~40 on the power ratings rank at the end of each day.

>>2041784
in ten days, there will be a new dungeon including a new difficulty. it shouldn’t be a problem for us to get into normal as we should hit level cap and invested a bit into our third class. the problem is with the two harder difficulties, as the power requirement jumps up quite a bit.
Source Water Shrine-Normal (Power: 930K + Lv. 100)
Source Water Shrine-Hard (Power: 1.45M)
Source Water Shrine-Nightmare (Power: 2.05M)
then nine days later we get the last dungeon of the season.
Yellow Springs Tower-Normal (Power: 2.25M)
Yellow Springs Tower-Hard (Power: 2.75M)
Yellow Springs Tower-Nightmare (Power: 3.9M)
Yellow Springs Tower-Purgatory (Power: 6.2M)
we have two weeks to do the final dungeon before season ends and the new season starts.

>>2041805
also forgot to mention that divine rarity gears will start dropping in the nightmare difficulty of the second dungeon.
