We didn't cover a few of the single armor piece abilities - such as the champion tunics ability to allow master sword beams when not at full hearts!! We'll cover more of these in future episodes as they relate - thanks for watching!!
A note about the slip resistance buff: Climbing on ice does not receive any benefits from the buff, and you will still slip after roughly 3 seconds of climbing even with a level three buff. The only way to help with not slipping while climbing on ice is to get the slip proof set bonus, which completely negates all slipping, even on ice.
Another thing to note is that, while climbing slips are based on time, the amount of times Link grabs to a surface kinda serve as a visual cue anyways if you don't fancy counting the seconds. You just gotta keep in mind that he can climb at different rates depending on the incline and speed buff so it won't do more than helping with the ballpark
8:21 the lynels in the floating collsium have a full 360 sight range. If you leave the area, so that they go back to “patrolling mode” and you return and you happen to behind the lynel, they’ll instantly know you are there and starts attacking.
Never used the elemental armor because I assumed it was just a worse way of getting attack up when I already had the barbarian set, good to know it's actually kinda useful.
@@CrotonLmaoo same thing when I battled my first Gleeok (the fire one at the Ancient Columns) I switched to this armor every time that fat dragon got up, expecting to deal more damage with my arrows (I don’t use Keese eyes often)… how wrong was I lol (btw it takes up a durability point when you get the elemental attack, just adding this so people know)
Honestly, I find that makes them less useful. There are specific options I go to when I want to spread status effects. If they were either a more powerful attack buff or could be stacked with regular attack up to go beyond level 3, I would find that more useful.
Wait, so there is no Attack Up buff for, say, the Ember Set while in a lava cave? What's the point of it glowing when you're near lava? Each set would be even MORE useless in those environments since, not only do they not provide environmental protection, but all the enemies there are of a similar element, so your fire attack is gonna do less damage to the fire-based enemies!
@@BoyProdigyX that is my main issue with these sets, fire element in a fire area are kind of worthless, cold being only a little better since it is a better element. Only thunderstorms are kind of useful, but they are so rare it doesn't feel like it
Honestly feels like the mystic armor was supposed to be leveled up at some point, because if it follows the 3 defense armor upgrade path each piece would be 20 defense at level 4, so 60 defense plus the rupee padding, and if there had been a set bonus then whatever that would have been. It’s a shame too because if you get it early, you probably wont have the money to use it, and if you get it later on you’ll have way better armor to choose from.
If that was the case, Link would loose 10-30 rupees per hit. They can be useful against Lynels as long as you have the full padding set, otherwise you'll still take damage.
One thing I noticed about Lynel disguises is that even after they recognize you, they'll become far more likely to target the sages instead of you when you're wearing it.
Your Stats of the Wild series was what got me convinced to finally cave in and buy a Switch for Tears of the Kingdom (and Breath of the Wild via game voucher) and I love all the practical ways in which I get to utilize this knowledge: -killing high-rank enemies and overworld bosses with the knowledge of the EXP system and the better weapons it will eventually give me -using ice/fire weapons as temperature protection in the desert/mountains without need for specific clothes or food -upgrading armor because I know how low Link's HP actually are when compared to enemies and the weapons they wield (this may sound obvious to others, but as a Zelda veteran I am used to "enemies usually do only a quarter, a half or a full heart at damage, just max out your heart containers and you're fine") -increasing my damage output (therefore, wasting less durability) through tactics like mounting lynels, sneakstriking, ice-shattering and using hammers against rock-based enemies I'd love to see more videos on Fuse (this might be too niche as a topic, but I'd like to know which materials on which weapons result in which name of the fused weapon? Like how there's reapers and blades, or sledges and pulverizers, or hammers, pounders and smashers)
Reapers are sharp one-handed weapons. Blades are sharp two-handed weapons. Sledges are blunt-force weapons with a spear/polearm base. I'm not sure on the hammer/pounder/pulverizer thing myself. I know this comment is a bit late but hope it helps a little :)
I assumed the Gloom Attack Resist was (in addition to the fourth ward heart) also reducing gloom based physical attacks by some percent value. It's a really weirdly named effects if it really does nothing to gloom attacks. The elemental attack buffs are also weird. The descriptions on the food items that can give you those buffs specifically mentions your muscles, so it's another weird case if it doesn't effect your physical damage at all.
One interesting thing I've noticed about climbing in the rain is that jumping, while it does cause a slip, seems to reset the timer for slips during normal climbing. So, if you go a few seconds, then jump/slip, you can start a new bit of climbing with a fresh slip timer and repeat.
yeah the tactic is to get right to when it was about to make you slip, then jump, so the slip doesn't take you back all that badly.. but it's harder and harder to predict with higher levels of slip resistance.
also, if you're on a slight slope you can briefly let go after jumping and immediately start climbing again before you fall down to completely negate any slipping.
Ahhh nothing better than a Stats of the Kingdom video while having lunch! Thank you Croton for these high-quality videos that help us so much in this fantastic game! :))
I’m trying to remember what armor sets could be considered “spoilers,” but the only one that comes to mind is the one you get when beating all the shrines.
For the ruby padding, I personally only use one piece of armor to have the effect on, and I add strong pieces of armor for the rest. It protects you the same way but will not cost a lot
Stats of the wild series from both games can singlehandedly take any casual player to new heights. Great series my guy learned so much about botw from it and am learning a lot about totk too
An idea for another stats video is going over all the weapon effects and how they work (like the Guredo weapon "Strong fuse" ability, even though that one is self explanatory)
I likely won't because nearly all of them are self explainable - they just deal double damage when the conditions are met!! There might be some odd quirks about them that could easily be covered separately though - such as knowing all wetness durations for the water buff!
Knight, Gerudo, Royal, Zora and Royal Guard weapons share the same buff of doubling damage in certain conditions. Gerudo grants powerful fusion in exchange for lower durability (you only get +5 fuse durability on top of the base durability of the weapon you are using) to balance it out. Knight weapons will deal double damage if you are on your last heart, making it far stronger than Gerudo weapons in the long run if you manage to avoid getting hit and it provides a high risk high reward scenario. Royal weapons will double your damage when you attack during a Flurry Rush, making it the strongest buff if you can flurry rush consistently Zora Weapons will deal double damage only if you are wet by landing in water or when you splash yourself with a Splash Fruit. This trait synergizes well with Sidon's Vow simce it grants you a water bubble and the game considers you as being wet. Royal Guard weapons deal double damage when they are close to breaking, and on the last hit they will deal x4 the damage, making it extremely devastating against Lynels because weapons do not break if you strike them while mounting them, meaning that it will always deal quadruple damage on each hit.
Royal Guard weapons will deal double damage when they are close to breaking. A pristine Royal Guard Sword will deal 30 damage at base, then 60 damage when it's close to breaking, and 120 damage when it breaks since it deals double damage on top of its breaking point buff (60×2).
@@2NDSEATEROFMOTHORCOUNCIL Royal weapons deal x2 damage when you strike during a Flurry Rush. Honestly one of the most powerful weapon buffs if you know how to Flurry Rush consistently.
5:50 Correction: order of operations does not matter here. The 20% speed buff could be applied before the 20% penalty, and the result would be the same, since 0.8•1.2=1.2•0.8
My head canon is that the Lynels either do not get fooled by the Mask... Or they can recognize friendly Lynels and see you as a Rival Lynel invading trying to usurp their territory.
Poppin' in the comments to pay my respects to the G.O.A.T. of Breath of the Tears of the Wild Kingdom science. Also trying to do my part to combat the UA-cam algorithm.
another thing on the climbing set bonus, it makes so stamina is used less while jumping, which in turn means you spend the same amount of stamina that you do jumping, as you do climbing normally (you get the same distance) so if you have the set bonus, there is no reason to not always jump
Now im just imagining a bokoblin see link walk through a wall of fire, a freeze attack and lastly just walking through a lightning strike, and all i see is true terror
Equal buffs and debuffs not canceling out doesn't have anything to do with the order the game calculates them, it's just a result of the game stacking stat changes multiplicatively instead of additively. The 20% increase stacked with a 20% decrease results in 120% * 80%, which is 96%. If the game added them, they would cancel out, since it would be 100% + 20% - 20%
I was moreso referring to one buff getting calculated in first, then the next after (multiplicatively) But I probably should have said: "the buff gets calculated *alongside* the other buffs" not "before" Definitely just a wording mishap on my end!
Embarrassed: I have a clip that was viewed a million times where I used Gibdo bones on my Lynel bow thinking I was getting that 80% buff 🤦♂️ Love your work Croton.
So glad to see you’re continuing this series for TotK; I watched all of them for BotW. Question, though: Does the “protection” provided by the Mystic armor also protect against environmental damage (i.e., hot/cold weather)? Or is it only for damage taken in combat? (Don’t have my switch at hand to test it myself.) If so, I could see a useful application whereby you where it in the heat/cold if have a fat wallet but no meals available.
Fun fact: Since the mystic set's rupee padding calculates AFTER normal damage reduction, and damage reduction can only reduce damage down to one point at the least and can't fully negate it- Pairing high defense armor pieces with pieces of the mystic set allow you to fully negate a bulk of powerful attacks, that can then be further boosted by defensive food bonuses. You ever stand in front of a lynel with 100k rupees in your pocket and absolutely no fear of death whatsoever? Do you want to?
Something about seeing impact proof nullify ALL fall damage feels cursed cause everytime I've seen link ragdoll is when he's gonna absolutely faceplant the floor
What I want to know is why in the world I wasn't able to find this information anywhere online. And honestly, I am disappointed that weather attack up doesn't give bonus damage.
You can convert the gliding speed boost into the paraglider by : Diving into freefall forward > Cancel dive with Sprint button > Take out glider immediately. Repeat when the speed fades away.
Oh wow, I never bothered with the Bone armor in either game 'cause I always thought it only applied to the bone arms for some reason lol, and I just thought "Huh, that sounds completely useless". Good to know how wrong I was. Thanks for the info!
great video, you're doing god's work with some of these cryptic worded buffs...weather attack up for example...who came up with that name?? also gloom attack resistance just adding a 4th gloom heart.
Good video! However, you didn't mention how exactly each one of the sage helmets buffs their corresponding sage. Perhaps in a future video on the sages you could talk about that?
The exact values are a bit varied, but typically the helmets will buff their normal attacks by 50%! Upgrading a sage with the vows can alternatively get this same increase in damage - but with both they'll do around double damage!! However there's still much research to be done, especially with how their abilities work - which is what I will look into next!
Amazing video! Thank you for this, I learned some great things I didn't know about these buffs. I don't see the buffs spreadsheet you in the description that you mentioned in the video, though. I think you may have linked the wrong thing?
I wish Night Speed would constantly worked in caves and the Depths instead at certain times. But I guess it would also make it trickier to program for.
The new weather attack buffs are really cool along with their sets. It's such a shame that weather is confined to very specific areas and you still have to manage your temperature. It'd be nice if it could randomly snow or have a day be extra hot anywhere.
They should have added the Pegasus Armor to allow people to get a speed up from armor and if the next game allows rolling, then it would cost 50% less to roll
Didn't realize just how much faster the skydiving set makes you until I put it on in the lomei sky labyrinth and started zipping around the entire maze in seconds lmao
Theres also a hidden ish buff when it comes to speed up and how it increases drawspeed and the speed of upholstering a weapon/bow which can stack alongside night speed up
I wasn't aware the elemental attack AoEs weren't just a set bonus for the dragon outfits; they may still be weather/environment-locked but this changes things :D
Ancient Armor was a combat thing though, for fighting guardians. Zonaite armor is not meant for combat, but for Zonai devices. That's why it's effect is Energy Up and not Construct Resistance.
Concerning the weather attack up buffs, I did some testing on them and noticed the damage differs based on how you trigger the effect. Finishing the combo string just gets a basic amount of damage, but doing charge attacks does more depending on what level of charge you did. Sadly I'm not sure how I'd go about getting exact numbers, but in the testing I did (using spin attacks with a basic cheap sword and using the level 3 effect so I can do my best to ensure I'm hitting with just the elemental effect), lightning does seem to hit harder than the other 2 as with other uses of the elements, dealing around 25 with a level 1 charge, around 35 with a level 2 charge, and looking to be at least 55 when going all the way for a level 3. Considering the set effect boosts charge rate, I'm pretty sure the idea is to use that to actually pull off level 3 charges midfight and spam aoe blasts.
I didn't know that's how the buffs for the hot, cold, and thunder weather attack work. I thought it gives you attack up when you're in that specific type of weather

I was hoping the gloom attack resist would negate gloom damage takes from using gloom weapons. I think that would be a pretty fitting use for the name

What I want to know is why in the world I wasn't able to find this information anywhere online.
And honestly, I am disappointed that weather attack up doesn't give bonus damage.
It’s not “Weather Attack Up”, though. It’s just “Weather Attack”. That is entirely on you. (not like i would ever defend nintendo)
@@catalyst539No, it's clearly misleading.
You can convert the gliding speed boost into the paraglider by : Diving into freefall forward > Cancel dive with Sprint button > Take out glider immediately. Repeat when the speed fades away.
Oh wow, I never bothered with the Bone armor in either game 'cause I always thought it only applied to the bone arms for some reason lol, and I just thought "Huh, that sounds completely useless". Good to know how wrong I was. Thanks for the info!
what a guy still blocking those spoilers thank you so much
I really appreciated you censoring the late-game spoilers! great video as well
I like to think the stalnox don’t see past the skeleton disguise, but are just really mad that you woke them up
great video, you're doing god's work with some of these cryptic worded buffs...weather attack up for example...who came up with that name?? also gloom attack resistance just adding a 4th gloom heart.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I studied statistics in college rather extensively. Applying that knowledge to this game is fun to me.
Good video! However, you didn't mention how exactly each one of the sage helmets buffs their corresponding sage. Perhaps in a future video on the sages you could talk about that?
The exact values are a bit varied, but typically the helmets will buff their normal attacks by 50%! Upgrading a sage with the vows can alternatively get this same increase in damage - but with both they'll do around double damage!!
However there's still much research to be done, especially with how their abilities work - which is what I will look into next!
Amazing video! Thank you for this, I learned some great things I didn't know about these buffs.
I don't see the buffs spreadsheet you in the description that you mentioned in the video, though. I think you may have linked the wrong thing?
Night speed buff also works in the depths full time
6:04 Actually, sludge slows you down a lot more
I think the Secret Weapon Buffs or Debuffs depending on the type of weapon are also worth noting
I wish Night Speed would constantly worked in caves and the Depths instead at certain times. But I guess it would also make it trickier to program for.
The new weather attack buffs are really cool along with their sets. It's such a shame that weather is confined to very specific areas and you still have to manage your temperature. It'd be nice if it could randomly snow or have a day be extra hot anywhere.
Nice video and nice explanation
I put in 200 hours and didnt know that the elemental sets had charge attack elemental blasts
1:40 blew my mind, i had no idea you could do that with the spin dash
isnt that timestamp for climbing set?
BOKOS CAN RIDE BEARS?!
Yeah they can ride bears they could also do it in botw as well
Hell I’m pretty sure not many of us even knew bears were even in the game in the first place
They should have added the Pegasus Armor to allow people to get a speed up from armor and if the next game allows rolling, then it would cost 50% less to roll
I really appreciate you blacking out the spoiler armour ty :)
Didn't realize just how much faster the skydiving set makes you until I put it on in the lomei sky labyrinth and started zipping around the entire maze in seconds lmao
The Elemental blast with the elemental armor drains a weapon’s durability even if you don’t hit anything
I like how if you attack the guards in lookout landing long enough they will knock you to the ground.
Theres also a hidden ish buff when it comes to speed up and how it increases drawspeed and the speed of upholstering a weapon/bow which can stack alongside night speed up
I wasn't aware the elemental attack AoEs weren't just a set bonus for the dragon outfits; they may still be weather/environment-locked but this changes things :D
after so many months i only now considered using the yiga set at the depths bases
10:04 On this clip, Link has on the Ancient Hero’s Aspect with is the reward for completing all 152 Shrines.
I really wish the Zonite armor had an ancient proficiency like the ancient set did in the last game. Recharge up has largely been useless for me...
Ancient Armor was a combat thing though, for fighting guardians. Zonaite armor is not meant for combat, but for Zonai devices. That's why it's effect is Energy Up and not Construct Resistance.
ALMOST all the stats in the game! there are so many more.. but i love the detailed explanation
Gotta love the Kirby music
7:15 That's definitely a reference to Wind Waker 💀
6:37 yo that is the craziest fucking thing i've seen in this game and i need to know how to make it
I'm guessing you already have that on your list but a video going over all the weapon and specific buffs would be cool.
Concerning the weather attack up buffs, I did some testing on them and noticed the damage differs based on how you trigger the effect. Finishing the combo string just gets a basic amount of damage, but doing charge attacks does more depending on what level of charge you did. Sadly I'm not sure how I'd go about getting exact numbers, but in the testing I did (using spin attacks with a basic cheap sword and using the level 3 effect so I can do my best to ensure I'm hitting with just the elemental effect), lightning does seem to hit harder than the other 2 as with other uses of the elements, dealing around 25 with a level 1 charge, around 35 with a level 2 charge, and looking to be at least 55 when going all the way for a level 3. Considering the set effect boosts charge rate, I'm pretty sure the idea is to use that to actually pull off level 3 charges midfight and spam aoe blasts.
I didn't know that's how the buffs for the hot, cold, and thunder weather attack work. I thought it gives you attack up when you're in that specific type of weather
Now that I've finished the game, I can finally watch these :D
