Thanks so much for watching! Quick note about Attuned Enchantments at 14:23 - The 9.2.6 patch notes actually have fixed this already. This came out after I had already recorded the video. So those will be REALLY strong with that Vision now!
Reaving Blows from the blue CP tree stacks with Ring of the Pale Order for extra heals. Strategic Reserve from the red CP tree makes you nearly unkillable if you hold 500 ult. Can also combine with Stage 3 Vamp to counteract health regen penalty. Obviously using Ults is important for the bosses, but if time to kill isn't factored into the leaderboards than Strategic Reserve might be a very strong option.
On a level 3 orc dragon knight running 2pc druid braid , 5 pc adept rider and 5 pc heartland conqueror and using those champion points i was able to get to the replicant , I had to fight selene , ice heart, nazzaray and some blue hell kitty . So I had to kite Alot but all my heals came from that champion point basically
Came here from the future of update 43. The new vision Adaptive Conqueror increases your damage the more Ult you have. It stacks so if you can get it multiple times you're looking at a pretty chunky flat damage boost. Pairs perfectly with Strategic Reserves since you're holding your Ult anyways.
I’ve been having good results as a solo Arcanist using a mix of Deadly, Ironblood, Pale Order & Pirate Skeleton. Made it to 5.3.3 so far, with better luck with verses & visions I think I could get further. High resource recovery a must too.
Holy shit I had no idea the Avatar transformations had an auto-res on their synergy, I've only got them on solo runs. That's extremely good to know for when I do more duo runs.
Something else I've noticed about the Iron Atronach transformation is that dropping the meteor also gives you an insane amount of Ultimate per second. I was able to use War Horn 3 times during a stage's final add encounter 😳
Very helpful and concise information, thank you so much Skinny! The way you can combine verses/visions and tweak your build for a given stage is my favourite thing in the archive, and I think it also helps with making repeated runs less boring. One thing I noticed is that although some of the offensive verses that have a synergy component (the fire orbs, the skeever, and the postulent globs in particular) can be strong, their synergy animations are a bit clanky, and in later arcs during trash stages when there's a lot of incoming damage and things going on, activating them can be very risky (sadly speaking from experience :D).
One random tip whenever I get the chance with the proper visions is not overlooking the benefit or Resolute Mind (restore health, stam and mag when you break free and increased CC immunity). With even just 2 of them stacked I get a massive return on all my resources and a very potent heal from any enemy that would stun me, generally enough to refund the entire break free cost and more plus avoiding getting comboed right after a stun and the recovery animation can at times save your life as I feel some of my stages were cutting it really close whenever I got CC'd without it. At least getting a good balance of how many, probably 2-3 is enough to make it turn the table on those stun users.
great video, as always! learned something new and will definitely us that advice regarding penetration (i was way too worried about underpenning lmao) Would love to see some class specific content regarding different EA builds. I know every class uses about the same sets currently, but maybe taking a look at different class specific setups would still be interesting? (hoping for nightblade here!) Anyway, i hope you keep up the sweet content, still my favourite ESO content creator out there!
I run heartland conq and ice furnace on my ice warden and it absolutely destroys when you get focused efforts. I was at 2000% dmg and was just 1 tapping shit in like arc 6-7. I gave the build to my friend and went on my arc tank and we got to 9-1-2 and then the server reset lol. We still had 2 lives. He was only at 1000% also. We could have done better.
I've beat Gothmau solo in 2 a couple of times and duo in 3 once; I'm not super good. It's just that he's a bit of an idiot and spins off in random directions, giving you a breather. Hilkarax is the only one I haven't beat yet, I think it's the one with all the whirlpools?
I stopped using vamp stage 3 because the 30% isn't flat it scales on how much health you have missing. I was taking waaay to much fire damage when I was at full health because of that.
Yeah I kind of felt the werewolf transformation was the least good of the three too but goddamn if it's going to stop me I'm a filthy role player and I can finally go Behemoth again without having to run stone garden let me have this😅
Ran it with 2 of my PvE tanks.. It feels like I'd have to build specifically for the archive as a normal tank doesn't have the damage needed for the higher arc trash mobs. Also ran it with my pet sorc dps and his pets just kept dying and even at Arc 3 he was just too squishy to survive.
Well looks we finally got a new playground to try out different sets and setups and try out builds, im thinking of something like hexos ward with flame blossom with the one piece slimecraw and the damned pale order mythic, maybe its an idea to make a vid about sets people might want to use in here sir skinnycheeks :)
Hey I have a quick question, those permanent account upgrades at the end: do they share with a partner even if the partner doesn’t have it unlocked? I know us both having the extra thread will bring us to 5 lives but if I buy the one that makes it so I have 3 vision choices, does my partner also get 3 vision choices or just me even if I have the crown?
Skinny, sorry but I got a question! If I want to go DW backbar with my stam necro, do I lose a lot of dmg when compared to maelstrom bow, hail and weapon enchant? Also, let's say I do go, what would be the best enchants & traits for the backbar weapons (daggers btw?) for cloak to procc? Rather complex question, but I really hope you can answer.
damage is similar, usually only very slightly less with dual wield backbar. but yes you'll run cloak then have both daggers infused. wpn dmg enchant on one and poison or flame on the other (whichever isn't on your front bar)
For the Enchantment vision, I was using this last night and the tooltip for the enchant was increasing. I didn't notice if my Weapon and Spell Damage were actually increasing or not but is that a visual bug?
Had done a lot of testing around with the Attuned Enchantments vision and sadly it does not boost Oblivion Damage enchant. 3 stacks of that vision would have enabled a completely broken mechanic if using it on something like Elemental Blockade. What I have found to be extremely useful however is using either a Weakening enchant or Hardening enchant on an Infused ice staff. You can tremendously weaken the adds in higher Arcs with the first one and if you go with the second one, you can easily have a damage shield over 20k.
What do you gain from going far? I went like arc 4 and quit I was getting trash stuff that I don’t need. It wasn’t worth the time. The bosses were ok. Pretty easy to beat, up to wear I was. I have so much other shit I actually need to farm. It’s ok for people that have done everything and they are just bored. You don’t get anything that I know of that makes it worth playing hours and hours.
The currency you get increases for each arc increase. So you start earning it really fast when you push higher. Plus it just is a challenge to see how far you can go.
What I would like to know is how do you get those damn ghostlights in time to the dude in the middle in the later versions? Seems like if I go too fast they'll return to their original position and if I go too slow I run out of time.
Woah so arc 10 enemies still have 9100 resistance and the thoat only has 18200? Multiple different people have told me that it keeps scaling up until even the trash is 32k+, must be some sort of rumour going around.
I did a 1st place in Eu Ps console server just 1 hour ago and sadly the score didn't count me but it counted my bestfriend only in the duo leaderboards is it a bug or what, is there a way to fix it??
Is anyone experience the most absolute garbage rng on visions? Also why tf is there an exp gain and gold gained vision Please add a preference system cause it’s absolutely aids getting to 134k without getting the visions you’re relying on for a long push
Lol someone has to much salt intake for the day!!! The resistance info was helpful as I would had thought each arc you would need to raise you pen a little till you reach pass a point you have to pen cap every round. But that is not the case and you only need to do at for the tho round. Most of us were over pen with our late arc builds.

Thanks a bunch. Yeah I’ll at least do some. Not sure what all classes I’ll take in there though.

Dude I'm so stuck on 4.3.3. Idk why. Exactly what is this build you speak of 😂
Really helpfull info thx,my limit is arc 4 but didnt know you could stack
#1 tip to go far in the archive: be lucky and don't have Gothmau spawn as a marauder :) This guy absolutely shreds even just in Act 2 and 3
I've beat Gothmau solo in 2 a couple of times and duo in 3 once; I'm not super good. It's just that he's a bit of an idiot and spins off in random directions, giving you a breather.
Hilkarax is the only one I haven't beat yet, I think it's the one with all the whirlpools?
Redguard dance is GOAT haha
any update on what verses/visions are good now?
Hello Skinny, thanks for the guide!
hello! hope it is helpful!
I stopped using vamp stage 3 because the 30% isn't flat it scales on how much health you have missing. I was taking waaay to much fire damage when I was at full health because of that.
Yeah I kind of felt the werewolf transformation was the least good of the three too but goddamn if it's going to stop me I'm a filthy role player and I can finally go Behemoth again without having to run stone garden let me have this😅
Great video, very useful 👊🏻
Thank you!
Question for you. Does asurablight scale with bloodthirsty
So the tip is - be strong, don't be weak. Got it.👍
Ran it with 2 of my PvE tanks.. It feels like I'd have to build specifically for the archive as a normal tank doesn't have the damage needed for the higher arc trash mobs. Also ran it with my pet sorc dps and his pets just kept dying and even at Arc 3 he was just too squishy to survive.
Was waiting for this.. Thanks again o/
All I can say that I am happy no one rage quit this game anymore. Live and learn.
what about for solo runs? Any major differences in choices?
What dd build would you recommend for a duo arc tank / arc dd without sacrificing too much dps
Well looks we finally got a new playground to try out different sets and setups and try out builds, im thinking of something like hexos ward with flame blossom with the one piece slimecraw and the damned pale order mythic, maybe its an idea to make a vid about sets people might want to use in here sir skinnycheeks :)

@@skinnycheeks I see thank you
endless archive sets are pretty useless for endgame challenges right?

2:30 Look at those crits of almost 200k??
If you leave the instance to change mundus/attributes, do you lose all the verses/visions when you get back in?
Nope!
He answered that at around the 2 minute mark.
Don't leave for more than 5 minutes if solo or it will reset.
@@Melsharpe95 yeah, wasnt sure if he meant the visions/versus would disperse after 5 mins of being out or if those would just go away immediately.

I use the RP (slow) walk and just tap shift a few times inbetween.
You also collect more than one at once. I will often take 3 or 4 back in one go. Be patient, move slowly, you have time.
I took in my PVP build, and got 150k score first try.
#1 Eso Tip - Watch Skinny Cheeks.
Woah so arc 10 enemies still have 9100 resistance and the thoat only has 18200? Multiple different people have told me that it keeps scaling up until even the trash is 32k+, must be some sort of rumour going around.
If it scales up past that I’m not aware. Idk if anyone has tested the really high arcs, like 12+
I did a 1st place in Eu Ps console server just 1 hour ago and sadly the score didn't count me but it counted my bestfriend only in the duo leaderboards is it a bug or what, is there a way to fix it??
Leaderboards have been very buggy on pc too, unfortunately
@@skinnycheeks 277k it's the score currently, is it good score what u think skinny considering this was our 1st push for score?
Great tips!
Now give us builds
Did they add a new option for the mini map I was a circle mini map instead of what we got now.
lovely voice
Is it only arcanists that can get very far solo?:(
Look at the class leaderboards. Arcanist is a bit low with Warden with the highest point totals.
@@TRG29338 gotcha. At most I can only get to arc 3 boss:(
There is a Templar at arc 11 solo!
Now I feel really crap:( I'm dk:(
Warden is pretty good. I got Inkslayer using my HA warden. It has many strong self-heal and you can let status effects do all the damage.
Ah,tanky,so light hunding/mothers gaze training set just wont cut it😂😂😂😂😂
Is anyone experience the most absolute garbage rng on visions?
Also why tf is there an exp gain and gold gained vision

yeah I've had really bad RNG on mine sadly
@@skinnycheeks I’m on a run right now at 220k cause I’ve had decent rng, I dislike that progress is blocked by rng in this
