Strategy: Reducing Effects of Incendiary Shot

Hey guys, here is a little strategy discussion post giving you the explanation and the means to reduce the negative effects of Incendiary Shot (archer 30% damage reduction skill) on your party simply by adapting your party formation. So let's jump straight to it, thanks to Elia tan for this feedback.

So here you have a standard formation in Wartune during a cross server Group Arena event:

The reason why a lot of people set this formation is because (a) it is visually pleasing and (b) because the life of every party member is clearly visible, which is especially important for mages.

Now when we talk about Incendiary Shot, it only affects players within one square of the player hit with the attack. It is not an all-player AOE. And therefore this formation is not really good because if the shot hits the top player then it will affect the front one and same for the bottom, but if it hits the front one then everyone is affected. I show this on the picture below:

So with the yellow arrows you see 2 people will be affected. same with the blue arrows. But with the white arrows all 3 will be affected.

So the way to fix this is to change the formation where the front guy stands not in the center but on top or bottom:

So you see in this formation you can limit the damaging effects of the Incendiary Shot even to 1 person which was not possible in the previous formation or at least maximum to 2 people. But never 3.

EDIT: Update: We did some testing (thanks gesh) and it seems in reality the IS might be working like an AOE. We don't know if it is intended to be like this or this is a bug. If someone has better info please share in the comments.

COSMOS Knight becomes Level 79

Hey guys, another big achievement for COSMOS Knight becoming level 79, so only 1 more level to go and I am at maximum and then the focus will go 100% on raising talents with full force of level 80 experience. So below you see the overview of the character and some comments / tips / explanations from me.

So first - my stats. Here to point out that academy buff is at 195% and this is my "normal" Will Destroyer mode. Crit build is 95k/96k around. Also to point out that I raised my MDEF considerably from below 11k to now 16.5k due to the sylphs magic attacks. Otherwise before I was enjoying a very high PDEF for class wars, but since sylphs came the rules changed a bit. Clothing is level 3 all. Fate is level 5. And note here I am with the Warlord's medallion so with a "normal" one the BR would be higher.

Next up we got the bags, i.e. all the items I have or as some people say all the items that I am hoarding. Some of the chests you will notice and might want to comment on - i just don't have the time to open them because I record the data as you know.

My sylph is a 3 star Iris. I did buy her rain dance for group healing with my locked balens, but I am not investing in her any more as I am waiting for new sylphs to come out before I use my saved up mahras and sepulcrums.

For the astrals below my WD build is my standard one with WD and illusion. I switch them with the top right Sniper/Determination combo for WB fights. All the others are flexibility astrals which I use if and when I need. Like guardian angel is very good in lych nm if you are tanking to avoid taking critical attacks by bosses. WD and Sniper there allow me to move around builds if I feel like it. Deflection is nice for class wars.

Runes I only have the first 3:

Talents are same as before that I posted. I haven't touched them at all since I am racing to level 80.

The good thing about skills is that at a high level you can have both EDD and Tenacity almost maxed:

and of course a small tribute to my lovely mount:

and lastly a full video profile overview of COSMOS Knight just before turning level 79:

Piles of Stinky Socks Drop Rates

Hey guys, here are the drop rates I prepared for the Piles of Stinky Socks which were being collected during Christmas time. As you might know we had the chance to exchange 60 Colorful Socks for the Reindeer mount, which was very much a doable task, so actually tons of people could do this even for free as long as they were active.

You will notice that 5 insignia is for some reason as rare as mahra, which is a bit of a silly game balance. Otherwise gold and daru have similar rates which is logical and kyanite has less than these which is also logical. Socks and decor roughly equal as well interestingly. A lot of non-cashers could not open the decor though because it costs 25 balens to open one, but for cashers the price itself is not so bad for the rewards inside.

COSMOS Mage Day 15 to Day 19

Hey guys and especially mages! Cosmos Mage is growing strong and here is the development Day 15 to Day 19 and a few words from me to support the pictures.

I was initially going for the legend 40 set but changed my mind and started gathering for the 50 set. this is because I got sufficiently strong to be able to get ~500 to ~1000 honor per Battle Ground so technically I don't need urgently the 40 set. Now I already gathered about 100 crystals for the 50 set so soon I will be getting I think the 50 hat.

In the meantime I also grabbed the arena 45 neck piece just for the time being. It did cost me some insignia but it helped me be stronger for the battle ground fights until I get the 50 item.

For catacombs I actually managed to beat the 90 boss as well as the 95 boss so only the 100 boss remains. He is a lot stronger so I need to wait a little bit before I can bring him down. Still this was an awesome accomplishment to do while having something like 25k BR.

In the Battle Ground, as I mentioned, I am doing alright. You might have seen the BG video I uploaded on LavashGames. If not I put it here below this post for you. Last 2 BGs I made ~900 honor which I think is great given how new Cosmos Mage is, my BR and condition of items. Of course I can't compete with the established monsters, but I do fine.

Here below are the screenshots from COSMOS Mage Day 15 to Day 19 from Wartune Kabam Server 4 Europe. I also highlighted for you as much as I could the main changes from day to day.

The plan still remains to hold the level but it is not easy at all. For example I did a small summoner run and due to the double experience event each summoner fight was giving me 200k experience which I could not avoid as I have to get the loids and legend stones. So I am now Level 53 and have to do my best to not become Level 55, but it is tough, experience just seems to fall down on me :)

When you look at this pictures from Kabam Wartune note that the BR fluctuates depending on the Academy Blessing Wheel that I have for the day. I wrote on each picture what is the Academy buff.

KABAM Day 15 - COSMOS Level 51 - BR 27429

KABAM Day 16 - COSMOS Level 51 - BR 27182

KABAM Day 17 - COSMOS Level 52 - BR 26122

KABAM Day 18 - COSMOS Level 52 - BR 31229

KABAM Day 19 - COSMOS Level 53 - BR 29836

And here is the video from my Battle Ground few days back if you didn't see it:

COSMOS Mage Day 11 to Day 14

Hey guys, I am shocked at how strong and fast I am making progress with this mage. For example I came up to catacombs level 90 with just ~22k BR and a green Pan with lowbie Templars. My guildmates were shocked and so was I - how important it is to make a perfect character finely tuned.

In the Battle Ground today I earned ~600 honor while still wearing blue items and not having neither the arena set nor the PVE set and I was killing level 54s while being 50 myself. This was totally unexpected which is why I did not even plan to record it, but I will start recording my BGs to share with you. Of course I also died a lot, but several times I was on a killing spree.

I have now 1 item from the 40 pve set and 79 crystals (1 short) for another one - not a single crystal dropped from all the campaigns :( and i have switched to and started doing GOD MPD gathering items for 50 set now, so I will not go for full 40 set, especially since I saw that I can be successful in the BG with even blue items that I have.

Here below are the screenshots from COSMOS Mage Day 11 to Day 14 from Wartune Kabam Server 4 Europe.

By the way the plan now is to hold level but since I maxed out talents already for level 50 I automatically became level 51 at the end of day 14.

KABAM Day 11 - COSMOS Level 50 - BR 21479

KABAM Day 12 - COSMOS Level 50 - BR 24561

KABAM Day 13 - COSMOS Level 50 - BR 23940

KABAM Day 14 - COSMOS Level 51 - BR 27254

And if you have not seen the balen spending videos here they are Part 1 and Part 2, each with 30,000 balens making a total of 60,000 balens:

COSMOS made level 50 in 10 days

Hey guys, some of you might know that i started a 2nd account, a male mage, on Kabam. I have been keeping a picture diary of my progress on that character and I am happy and amazed to be able to tell you that I am now level 50 in 10 days! I could rush higher further, but I just wanted to get the sylph at level 50 and now i will slow down significantly in order to get honor and the Lord Divine title.

And here below are the pictures of every day from Day 1 to Day 10.

Resource Recovery Officer Defeated

Hey guys, I think a lot of people don't know this little piece of information - check it out - the Resource Recovery Officer in the Battle Ground event can actually be killed and nets you a very nice 500 points and 40 honor, which might not be so great for the one who is capable of doing this, but at least the points can be used for healing if needed. Still, an interesting piece of Wartune info, thanks to Thethrell for sharing.

2 New Tiers in Sylph Atoll

(Posted by Fancypants)
    Hey guys! I have another update for you guys from China. This time it involves sylphs.
   First of all, let me say that I bought some scrolls in the shop to get in to the sylph atoll, as I was only a lvl 22 archer at that time.
   The update is that there are two more tiers in the sylph atoll! I took screenshots of the sylphs for you guys.
Here is tier 3 and the sylphs there

And now tier 4

I am really looking forward to the tier 4 sylph. It looks like the strongest, and overall the best in the long-run, but that is just my opinion:)
                    Until Next Time:D

The secret weapon of Thethrell

Hey guys, I got here a screenshot of the Wartune secret weapon of Thethrell which is just awesome! So check it out below and here are few words from him:

I'm Thethrell from Server Wartune 153. Upgrading this took a purple Apollo. Second star took 15k exp, third took 20k, fourth took 25k, fifth took 30k, and to max it to orange took 35k. Upgrading all the stats on it took getting sepulcrum wherever I could, and a lot of it. I didn't put it into any other sylphs, just this one. I've been playing since September, am level 70, and was doing Class Wars for the first time and wanted to be prepared, and came in 19th, after fighting only lvl 75+. Pretty much once I pull this out I win. I was also able to pass lvl 15 of Necro thanks to this, and made it to 19, and ONLY lose in battleground and group arena to stunners.
