    1. 0:47 *yeet*
    2. The Giant round was suprisingly close, mainly cause they kept stunning him.
    3. I actually thought he was gonna lose for a little while against the mages because, even with his high resistances, he was just getting peppered with *everything* and was so slowed he barely moved and his magicka was probably gone alredy. But at 3:40 it feels like the Ebony Warrior just said "Aight, now I'm mad" and just started performing *disrespectful* finishers on them 1 by one.
    He folded the Dremora Lord, tore out Illdari's Heartstone, juggled Neloth so he couldn't even defend himself, killed Savos with a bow *at close range* and he didn't even give Malkoran the time of day.
    4. I feel like half the reason the Vampires did so well was because their signature Vampire Drain does non-elemental damage, meaning the Ebony Warrior has no resistance to it. Also those Gargoyles Harkon was spawning are not to be underestimated.
    5. The Miraak and Carius round was interesting. Oddly enough, Miraak didn't shout very much and went into melee immediately rather than testing the waters first with spells at range.
    But he was definetly the tank of the team and The Ebony Warrior's AI looked like it focused mainly on him anyway.
    However, Carius was definetly doing the heavy lifting in terms of damage. Even with the Ebony Warrior's 50% resistance to all Elemental damage and high armor rating, he was taking *big* chunks of health out of him.
    6. The tagteam against Kaarstag was *really* close. I feel like it really could have gone either way there if the Ebony Warrior didn't get stunned that final time.

      1. YEET!
      2. They do surprisingly high damage, especially the Frost Giant!
      3. Yes! His magicka got drained very quickly from Ildari's attacks, but they shouldn't have made him mad. 😆 It was a really interesting round.
      4. You're right indeed! The Drain Life spell is really effective against the Ebony Warrior, and Harkon did well spamming his spells from the background.
      5. I think the reason why he went for melee right away is the close distance. He really didn't shout much, but I'm glad he equipped his Dragon Aspect right away. He sometimes doesn't do that at all.
      And again, you're right about Falx! Having him do damage while Miraak is tanking is the most efficient way for them in this fight.
      6. It really was close, but the main reason why I chose this recording was that it got very tense at the end. I've repeated this round many times (as usual when I record my videos), and Karstaag usually dominated. I even replaced Falx with Miraak, who is *much* better prepared against Karstaag, and they still lost against him most of the time, which I really wasn't expecting!

      Welp, the idea is good, but the summonable Karstaag is much weaker than the boss version, and despawns rather quickly. 😂 But to keep the Ebony Warrior distracted, he's perfect!

    In the several fight videos I've watched of the Ebony Warrior I've noticed a few strange things about him. For some reason he seems to draw his sword and holster it and then draw it again before combat. I've also noticed that after a fight he draws his sword for a second and then holsters it. Another thing I've noticed is that he seems to start off most battles with just his sword and when his health gets low he casts the frost cloak and brings out his shield. However at 5:52 he decides to put away his shield momentarily and block with his sword before pulling out the shield again. He has quite an interesting combat style to say the least lol.

    • @lSlendermaster
      @lSlendermaster  3 дні тому

      The sword issue happens with other NPCs as well. It's a strange bug, but luckily, nothing that breaks anything. 😅
      As for his combat behavior: He starts off with his sword because he tries to cast a few spells first (iron flesh, frost cloak), and use his shout. After that, or if he takes too long like from getting staggered multiple times, he switches to his shield.
      Once a certain amount of time has passed, or his spell effects run out, he tries to cast them again. During that, he might still try to block, but can only do so with his sword. Once again, he can run out of time to cast his spells, which makes him return back to his shield. Other NPCs show the same behavior (provide they have the spells, of course), and it can get pretty awkward at times 😂

      @marcusking332 9 місяців тому

      @@lSlendermaster i remember Karstaag being around 55 to 60% health when Falx died and EW being around 45%. EW still dropped Karstaag to 1 to 2 hits from death range when it became 1v1.
      So i'd say a 1v1 at full health has Karstaag as a very slightly better chance at winning. Likely a 55% chance.

    • @lSlendermaster
      @lSlendermaster  9 місяців тому

      ​@@marcusking332 I have to disagree, but I'll explain why. 😅 When I make my videos, I do a lot of tests with the setups. Instead of just doing each round one or two times, I sometimes record them dozens, up to 100 times, to see what's possible and wha the average result is.
      Karstaag beats the Ebony Warrior almost 100% of the time. If he doesn't stomp, the Ebony Warrior can have a chance, but Karstaag usually ends up winning at close to full HP due to his healing. Falx' additional damage and fire effect make a big difference. Even the summoned Karstaag, who is a lot weaker than the original, has no trouble beating the Ebony Warrior most of the time.
      I've noticed the same things in other people's battles, as long as Karstaag had all of his abilities (such as frost cloak, blizzards, and ragdoll when stomping).
      To be fair, he didn't even have his ice wraiths in this episode because I didn't know how to implement that mechanic for custom battles. If he did, he would be even more superior 😄

    Even after all These years the ebony warrior is still always my very last enemy to slay, even karstaag is easy in comparrison on higher difficulties in my opinion. And He was acutally the very first "Boss" i had problems with wenn i was 12 back in the days i still remember the good old days this Mountain of a Men comes and challanges you, no ambush no backstabbing just a clean fair duel, since u had plenty of time to get all the shouts in the World and weapons its Still pretty fair(but still annoying) that He got the disarm shout

      I struggled more with him than with Karstaag too! The Ebony Warrior is more balanced overall, even if Karstaag is technically better, especially when it comes to crowd control. Shouting the Ebony Warrior down the mountain and seeing him get back up and shoot you with arrows is a fun experience 😆
