- Yeah this video is kind of crazy ngl, because it has some findings that I was very surprised with when I figured them out. Title is not clickbait, the AOTD can out damage the Giant's Sword, though whether it's BETTER than the Giant's Sword is a different story...

Here's the long awaited AOTD video I briefly mentioned about a week and a bit ago. It's quite a long one so apologies for that, but I did my best to cover everything I could to prevent the amount of questions I'd get in the comments. I've noticed that with just the time it took to make this, a lot of the pricing has outdated slightly but the cost margins between the Livid Dagger and AOTD are still mostly similar so the information still holds true.
I will do my best to respond to all the comments on this video to try to clear up any confusion, though if you want to guarantee a response, join my discord and try to contact me through there. I never miss anything in my discord server and it's significantly easier to go back and fourth on a proper messaging app. This video will 100% create a lot of discussion and controversy and I'm always open to proper discussion as long as it's not hostile or unnecessarily toxic.

EDIT: People keep saying Superior buffs the AOTD's left click damage, this is simply not true. If you read the set bonus carefully, it says it buffs the AOTD "ABILITY" damage, which is the right click ability. I have tested this, I did not think this was going to be an issue, but clearly people still don't know how the Superior Dragon Armour works.
hi soldier
Dude you should give me that Giants’ Sword
yoo can i have ur giant sword please LMAO
stupid beggars
Please, can I have the shadow fury, giant sword, Fot, livid dagger and the AOTD
Hey soldier, this video is definitely interesting but i think that the gs vs aotd test was conducted very strangely, I don't know if you knew already but the wither skeleton is focused on damage over time instead of single hit damage, you could've used an epic tiger and it would've given you a much much better comparison, even ignoring the fact that wither skeleton is a dot pet, on the first hit you activated its perk during the dungeon test which gave it an extra 55000 damage, thus putting it clearly over the aotd. Also fot is worse for single damage but no one uses it for that as most people use it as a clearing weapon before they get a juju, or something to help getting combat exp for slayers. Nonetheless this is definitely an interesting video so great job on it
Yea but if he tier boosted his e drag it would probably allow the dps to be around the same
No hes trying to make it seem like aotd is better but he is using a dps pet and in the test where he used edrag in the dungeon he did 247k and gs with wither skeleton did 400k if u count in the first tick from the deaths touch perk, this clearly shows how much better a gs sword is. Also he is using superior which buffs the aotd by a lot, if he would have used superior for aotd and like a normal damage set like shadow assassin or necron for the giants sword it would be a lot more fair test.
@@basplantinga975 I didn’t even notice that he was using sup tbh but leg edrag does outdmg wither skeleton I’m pretty sure. I’m not surprised giant sword is a lot better than aotd
NERDDD!
Yeah the reason it deals more dmg is because its 200 time more expensive and hes like it's not fair bro it's called progression more cost more dmg and the fact you can combine it with e drag games over the aotd
Your stats were favored towards the aotd bc with silky you get wayy more crit damage and since you get more strength from the aotd it makes it balanced, making the giants sword be unbalanced as the crit damage stat is way higher than the strength stat
That would have increased the price of gs by a substantial amount. And in dungeons he probably had much more strength then cd so if anything the cd/str ration was more equal for gs
Well silky is 400 coins so it barely affects the price, so I see what you're trying to say, but bloody is 300k which is also negligible considering this test is done with 200m setups and gives equal amounts of strength and crit damage
@@yeetdragon2413 that’s true, I’d say doing the tests with bloody is more balanced outside dungeons, but inside silky is the only good way to balance strength and cd with the withered reforge. If he was using fabled it would 100% agree with you but he can’t because of the variation between hits
Finally smart person
@@yeetdragon2413 I know but then again what would 2.7m coin difference be when the numbers are as high as 200. Thats the only point I wanted to make
These damage tests, especially the ones at the start, trigger me because if you were to actually main a weapon, you would adjust the rest of your setup to match your strength and crit damage, increasing your damage. The AOTD happened to be better tuned to your setup used for all the damage tests, so it appeared as if the weapon did better than it actually would have if the stats were adjusted for the other weapons. This is also why the FOT did more than the livid dagger, which wouldn't at all be the case if the strength and crit damage were more balanced with the livid dagger.
To some degree, this is true, but you also have to take into account what the average skyblock player is going to do. Your average "early gamer" or "mid gamer" is going to use the silky power stone simply because everyone else says it's good, as well as whatever set they choose (I just happened to have superior, but shadow assassin is another option).
Yes, I could go out of my way to accurately tune my stats to each weapon individually, however this would create a series of other factors that would also influence the tests in unfair ways, and regardless of how I test these weapons, I will forever get people telling me that "you did something wrong".
This is probably the first comment I've read that isn't just pure misinformation though, so thanks for the constructive criticism.
@@ModernSoldier Yeah, it is true that regardless of how you were to do it, there would always be variables that you can't control, because that's just the nature of skyblock. Give these same weapons to a different account and the results might be drastically different, so giving a fair damage test that will be accurate to every player is impossible.
@@bheco4 And that's precisely why the discussion section of the video is so important, because acknowledging this is critical in assessing whether a weapon or weapon setup is worthwhile. For the average player, an AOTD + Dragon Pet isn't gonna be worth your while, but if you were someone lucky enough to drop a dragon pet, then it could be an option for more linear progression. Obviously this is extremely specific, and it's why the Giant's Sword generally speaking will be a better option.
@@ModernSoldieralso, the livid dagger is known for its backstab and bonus attack speed. So the dps would be 1.5x higher than it would without the attack speed. As for the backstab passive, I would suggest doing a backstab and a front stab and use the mean of the two
@@ModernSoldierso I have a question I understand using an edrag is similar price to giants sword but at that point someone with an edrag would in theory have a lot of money at that point you would expect someone to be able to optimize for giants sword too right?
even though it is better with a dragonfuse gauntlet, in dungeons having a gauntlet of contagion is very useful for clearing with a juju/term (which will be the majority of your damage in dungeons anyways)
Yeah absolutely, a juju shortbow is going to be a better clearing option over an AOTD for dungeons. Still doesn't take away from the fact that the AOTD is a better melee option than a Livid Dagger and FoT with the glove though, which is what I was getting across in this video
@@ModernSoldier sorry to break it but the attack speed allows the livid dagger to double hit so it does around 100k dmg compared to the 65k
@@esmagames4162 Sorry to burst your bubble, this isn't true. Watch from 19:17, I covered this already
@@ModernSoldier dragonfuse gives a damage bonus to aotd but not giants sword so its kind of unfair you could switch to another like molten while using gs.
@@bekirarhan8752 he’s using it as an add on to the sword basically. It increases the price but makes it more fair.
Well the livid dagger has attack speed and backstab so its not fair to say its better they should be around the same in the 9m setup
yea cuz I think just comparing base wepons livid dagger (used to befre attack speed nerf) out dps shadow fury
Good video but we have to consider that the renowned reforge is in favor for all weapons except the giants sword because it buffs als stats besides from Damage that the weapon provides
At that point, you're petlocked to the Ender Dragon pet, armorlocked to Superior Dragon, and equipmentlocked to the Dragonfuse Glove to deal as much DPS (using both Leftclick and Rightclick) as possible with the AOTD. However, with the other weapons, you aren't so locked to specific equipment.
the superior dragon set only buffs the ABILITY of the atod which means if does not buff the left click dmg so no you are not locked to the superior dragon armour set its just he was using it for the test
Waaaaah im pet locked to the 2nd best pet in the game, your not armor locked. And goc is a hard grind
The thing that shines with the livid dagger is the 100% crit chance and 50% attack speed .
Isn’t it 100 attack speed
@@user-wy5rs2zj6u it was nerfed to 50
The wither skeles death tuch ability increases the damage by 200% over 3 sec so its not really fair for a single hit test
ye but he is counting THE SINGLE HIT FROM THE SWORD not any other things like dmg over time with venomous and other shit
@@leschatssuperstars1741 then why is he using a dot pet and not a single hit pet like lion lmao , and he didnt even add the first skelly tick for dungeon gs lol
@@Julius72958probably trying to make the aotd look better ;-;
@@leschatssuperstars1741 even then death touch procs the tick you hit the mob.
@@leschatssuperstars1741even then, death touch procs first the tick you hit the mob.
The wither skeleton pet deals damage with one of it perks seperately from the main dmg so it dealt around 300k dmg (it deals dmg once per second but still has better dps then aotd with max attack speed). Also melee berserker isnt good right now for dungeons so inside dungeons tests arent that important. Melee weapons are useful for lcm but it only becomes good at very high cata levels at wich point u could afford a claymore and gdrag wich would deal more dmg than wither skeleton gs. Still suprised to see how much damage aotd does
AOTD + E drag: Big damage
Giant's sword: Mid damage
but when you realize you can use E drag with the Giant's sword ☠
Yeah the reason it deals more dmg is because its 200 time more expensive and hes like it's not fair bro it's called progression more cost more dmg and the fact you can combine it with e drag games over the aotd
The whole point was for the budget to stay the same bruh
@@urgamerboi2512 im stating what a normal guy would do and that is paid a gs with e drag
bro literally in my years of experience in skyblock i have seen no one buying edrag for AOTD lmao
AOTD is not relevant anymore so the comparison was irrelevant + again saying logically noone uses a giant sword with wither skeleton they use high dmg pets bro dont come up with "oh nooo dont forget f7!!!"
@@mariosakic1283 ^
same for you what i said was logically what a normal person would do
and not use edrag with aotd rather than using edrag with gs
@@urgamerboi2512 also you are saying that "it does more dmg because its more expensive" that is not the case idiot ok then lets say theres an exotic shadow assassin armor piece that is worth hundreds of millions of coins but necron will still outdamage it because shadow assassin being more expensive will NOT MAKE IT BETTER 💀play skyblock first then come at me
its the stats that matter not the price bro shadow fury was 10million 1-2 months ago so are you saying if shadow fury could outdamage giant sword then its all cause of the price?
10 minutes into this video and I’m hooked. Great job on this video ModernSoldier. 🔥🔥
If you look carefully in the dungeons damage test, the wither skeleton did an extra 150k damage with its last perk.
oh wow! who wouldve thought that if you used one of the best ONE HIT damage pet with the AOTD and not with the GS, it would outdamage it!
This test would be completely different if he used a lion pet with gs rather than a wither skeleton
Not really the point of the test
Bro , subed liked , appreciate all ur video most the description Putin ur mods and resources pack there thank so much !!
Your editing is just... amazing
Personnaly I believe that buying a giant sword is more worth it, due to the fact that you have to have equiped a specific pet and specific gear to reach the damage it does using an aotd. This video tho was impressive and really well made!
Personally I believe buying a gs is never worth it
yes but it's the exqct same price for the pet and gear than for the giant's sword
@@leschatssuperstars1741 yeah but by the time someone has 200 million coins to spend on a giant sword they definitely have a good dmg pet
@@leschatssuperstars1741 if someone has 200m to waste on a giants sword they will atelast have a griffin even rare griffin gs > e drag aotd
PRESS READ MORE!!!!! Hey Guys! Just to let you know he uses Superior Dragon armor (Which he doesn't mention), which is one of the reasons that it is better than the FoT. He also claims that the AotD is better than the livid dagger but including the attack speed and the back stab this just isnt true as the Livid Dagger has more dps. Near the end of the video he puts on a [lvl 100] Ender Dragon pet for the AotD and compares it to a [lvl 100] Wither Skeleton and Giant's Sword, pretty much he straight up just makes the comparison completely unfair as it puts a 270m coin pet against a 2m pet (not to mention the Giant's sword still does more damage even with the horrible pet difference). Finally he claims that the AotD is "better" than the Giant's sword and does acknowledge that pretty much every weapon on this list is still better in terms of dps/price-for-damage, but this doesn't really help as he claims that at the very end of the video, making the audience wait through the whole video to finally give an answer. He also compares the AotD, FoT and Livid Dagger against slayer bosses to look at their true dps and he clearly has better aim for the AotD compared to the other 2. This whole video can also be combated by the whole player base, if the AotD was "better" sword than all of the other weapons on this list than it would take someone a week at max to find this, not over 6 months of this being possible. This is a decent video but just the amount of holes in the damage tests are just funny. So pretty much, DONT USE THIS AS A GUIDE FOR EARLY GAME PLAYERS.
yeah not to mention he used dragonfuse gauntlet on testing all the weapons instead of switching to molten bracelet and there’s absolutely no chance anyone would use a 2m pet with a 200m weapon that’s absurd
@@hairpair8426 i agree its kinda skewed
Aspect of the Dragons ABILITY deals 50% more damage"
I pretty sure he was comparing total price and damage
A level 1 dragon pet with AOTD is 200 mil
While a giant sword by it self is 200 mil plus 2 mil wither skeleton
If you give edrag to giant then you are comparing 200 mil to 400 mil
And as other have said ability damage is what sup armor increase
Still think you should just use an a giant sword and he could use a better pet for single hit
23:56 bro has solvers but no dungon map 💀
I've been waiting for this forever. Glad it's finally out
hmm so the videos saying that
Aotd + edrag and the giant sword setups are both 200m
but is the edrag only lvl1 ?
cuz if not it will be higher in value than just 190m
sorry just asking
23:03
best way to dmg test is find a deathmite in trap and use the weapons comsecutively
true
First strike
triple strike
second strike
@@kaigoodbye i mean to compare weapon dmg. just disregard first 3 hits and then see which weapon does more damage
Im looking at aotd and none of them has more thatn 800 damgage in the gray bonus even if they are called withered
what is the problem here?
aotd is my favourite weapon BUT i know it's limits and at best it's an early end game weapon even then i will still use it till i reach the peak of skyblock because it doesn't matter what anyone says not being the most efficient doesn't mean your losing
You also gotta realize the bonus attack speed for the livid dagger. It may be weaker, but it does more dps than the aotd, meaning it is somewhat better than you think.
He literally did a dps test, someone didn’t watch the video
@@feralsteve1768 my guy the livid dagger has +50% bonus attack speed + backstabs. What he is comparing is the DMG of each sword with just one hit that has nothing to do with dps.
@@cyanc8942you missed the dps test, just as he said. Pay attention
@@feralsteve1768 my guy he is using Sup Dragon Armor but sure m8 keep thinking that AOTD > Livid Dagger :)
@@zephryus2001 And u should look at the entire kit of a weapon that's what is important about that if u just boost something with a armor set + not using the abilites of those weapon then sure use ur raw dmg :)
Interesting. Now I think the point of this video is to bring up the AOTD, because it's just unknown by new players and forgotten by older players. In other words, it's very underrated and it's true.
Also I think u should've included Warped reforge in the test, I'm curious to see how that effects it.
NOTE: Also if u haven't played sb for a while, livid dagger has been nerfed quite a bit and shadow fury has been buffed.
Warped is for aote not aotd
Warped on what?
Livid dagger has only been nerfed in atk speed
@@blambooosh the nerf of attack speed reduces dps by 25% which is pretty substantial
@@yeetdragon2413 he doesn't include dps in the video
Very cool video! I wonder how a Shadow Fury with Lion would compare to Giant's Sword or AotD with the Dragon, even tho i don't see much reason to run this, it should (if you get hit) out dps both.
I actually tested that rn (although with a slightly less fair test as my sf is far better upgraded than my aotd)
i used full crimson (2 fiery, 2 10* burning) no equipment, a lvl 96 epic edrag for aotd and lvl 100 epic lion for sf
aotd + epic ender dragon with silky and tunings on str gives 920 total strength and 1204 total cd averages 195k damage
sf + epic lion with silky and tunings on str gives 1166 total str and 1242 total cd averages 495k to 406k
my ign is Dondiamond if you want to look a bit closer at my setup, this wasnt really the fairest possible test but at lategame the minor buffs given to the aotd is basically worthless compared to the lion's % increase to first strike and the multiplicative nature of damage and higher levels of cd/str so it doesnt matter anyways as epic edrag + aotd would get outclassed rlly fast by sf and lion even at midgame due to % buffs which are exponentially better.
for dps sf should be better too if you use an epic tiger, i avg 345k with sf and leg tiger without the last perk active but have 48 ferocity which again would clown on the aotd with epic edrag
the video just didnt give a fair test imo and even if it is "technically" accurate in practice all the options except fot is better for single target dps and the 2 higher end options (sf and gs) clown on the aotd so much it isnt even close.
(this is also ignoring that if you use aotd you are both petlocked and have 1/4 of your equipment locked which is a MASSIVE nerf)
Great vid as always! but... how tf u be livin with that lagg xD
i did the test on my side with my mecron armour and the aotd did less damage so I investigate and 1 thing that was different was the armour. One of the perk of the superior is that it give a stat boost to the aotd it is why your aotd did more damage than the gs.
Only affects the ability
No, it buffs the ability damage, you should check the wiki before trying to debunk a 2 week long project
That is like saqing that a Leather chestplate with Protection 7 is comparable to a Goldor set
the test with livid dagger is not fair towords it because the backstab multiplyer is a big part of the livid dagger and you just ignord that
Your stats and gear are favoured to the aotd because first of all, the superior dragon armor clearly buffs the aotd and also you should try using edrag with gs aswell as the aotd
No the superior armour only buffs the ability damage of aotd
This video is comparing how much dmg can you get for your money, if you use edrag with giant sword that would be nearly 400 million at the time this was tested, double the cost of the edrag aotd setup which isn’t even slightly comparable
It’s a comparison between 200 million setup v 200 million setup not money bags setup vs poor mans giant sword setup
to people watching this video, yall have to keep in mind that he is using superior dragon armor, which also buffs aotd by 50%. Lot of people decide to ride the SA/Necron Armor.
The test would be more fair if it was Superior+Edrag+Aotd vs SA/Necron+Giant Sword+Dmg Pet (In my opinion, of course)
superior only buffs the aotd's ability
U r dumb

@@nubadriane639 either way gs wipes if it has soul eater
you are idiot
the only bad part about having an aotd with edrag is there is no more improvement you can make to the setup. With a GS, the posibilities are endless, up to getting a scylla or dark claymore. also you get petlocked with aotd, as well as no gauntlet slot.
Any tips for a decent mining setup?

Watch video before commenting!
@@feralsteve1768the 2nd test
you should have also done edrag with the giants sword and that would've been alot better than wither skeleton. Also livid dagger has alot of attack speed so it would be better for slayers and other high health targets because its not optimised for 1 hit dmg.
The reason he did not use the Ender Dragon pet for the gs is because that would make it an almost 400m coin setup and would not be a fair comparison
@@samuelmagnusson4347 so then use a rare/epic lion
its cool beacause its good for progrestion bc after the livid dagger you can go to that and the aotd is kinda a mini giants sword kinda like the shadow fury, Grreat video tho keep up the work
I love this video because the AOTD is way to underrated but I don’t understand why you didn’t do an backstab with the livid dagger it’s an part of the sound
Sword
When u use the other swords u should switch to molten equipments
As a player with a lot of experience, your test is completely false. The wither skeleton does 140k dmg with gs inside dung on the same tick as the hit (ie the first tick) which is the same with fire aspect and stuff.
This adds another 140k damage to the giant sword making it better.
Oh yeah. are we not going to account the fact that gs does so so much more dps that the result is abysmal?
Good Point , I Guess He Just Didn't Count That .
He didn't applied fragments on shadow fury which it gives 30%crit dmg bonus. Yes sf is way better than both sword, just use sf + baby yeti it's the best gear
"I did not favor the test over at aotd in anyway at all" proceeds to favor the aotd in every way possible, with your logic, technically the livid. dagger does way more since it gives 2x damage when you are facing the enemies back, and your not using any gear so giant's sword is complete garbage without strength and crit damage
wonder shadow fury + lvl 100 legendary lion would do against that aotd 200m (old price ik) setup
If your shadow fury was fragged (costs 1.5m) it would beat both aotd and gs (in dungeons) for 1/4 the price
No gs is still significantly better than sf, the update has made it a lot closer but gs still adds a lot of damage

Hey Soldier ,
Few Things!
1 - The Epic Edrag is now 350-400M
2 - Why does The Dark Claymore exist? it needs M7 Comp (Cata 36) which is incredibly hard, and it is only >15% Better Than The Giants Sword. I think You Need to go for a Hyperion.
and MP is Definitely More Important then Just a Raw Weapon
i think in 2022 a youtuber made a deleted video (for some reason) Showing a AOTD + D. Glove + WS (600 MP) Against A Giant's
Sword + NO MP + WS , Old Dragon Armour was used , and the AOTD won by ~7%
AOTD SETUP COST - 150M
GIANT SWORD SETUP - 200M
Claymore in LCM is Crazy good.. Outside dung no weapon comes close to it so thats why it exists
the gauntlet of contaigent is often if not only paired with a shortbow. spirit or juju. using it with melee weapons makes way less sense and make it not worth it cause of the pricetag
We still need to remember that he was using Superior Dragon Armor that gives 50%+ base stats for AOTD
It boosts The AOTD's ability damage. This video is absoultley valid.
@@vilmerbrodin658 it’s not.
It only boosts the ability, not the stats
Why did you not mention the aotv, its a great comparison between livid and aotd for cost 🤓and its just a great weapon if you spend 370m on enchants n shit 🤓
But having an epic edrag means you can use it with other weapons, so it's like yes 200m but also buffs other weapon damage greatly, spend another 50m on tier boost and you get +10% stats
WOOOOO THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
we wanted to see a 2 mil weapon beat a 200 mil weapon, not a 200 mil weapon beat a 200 mil weapon. Clickbait. 😡😡😡😡😡😡
The thing is at the stage where u buy the aotd or livid dagger or Fot.. Ppl still struggle to get a 100% crit chance. so to get that ppl often choose a power stone with good crit chance and tune their accessory for crit chance. And that heavily decreases the dmg cuz they could just get the HIGH str and crt dmg power stones.
This is just My take on this topic
The ya is still better in dungeons coz in that 1 hit with ws there is 245k and in next to it in black text 155k so 400k and in AOTD coz fire aspect 10k more so 257k
How do I get your config with the health and everything
This was a fun casual watch, but I was thinking in regards to the edrag+aotd vs the giant+wither skeleton it didnt seem that fair. Yes edrag buffs aotd with its second perk but its base pet stats as well are insane in comparison to the wither skeleton, which isnt even meant for single hit dmg and rather dps over time.
I also feel like if you have an e-drag you wound be using aotd. It would be more fair to use something like a shadow fury and even then I would go for the giant sword over an e-drag
Hey but the armour ability also affected the aotd what if we are using a shadow assassin
I might have missed it but why don’t you use the edrag for the Gs as well?
what's your texture pack man looks sick
I always said that the livid dagger isn’t required since the AOTD exists but not because the aotd ouclasses it. I personally don’t feel that the dragon fuse glove is worth it either. Good berserker damage against all enemies in that stage of game (early game) is meaningless in the current meta. Just get slayer swords for slayers, mage/archer gear for everything else. Generic weapons after the aotd until the giant sword is not worth your time
Honestly I strongly disagree, I'm progressing through the early stages of the game on my chaos profile right now and the AOTD + dragonfuse has gotten be through the first three T4 Slayer bosses and let me solo f2 as a catacombs 8 player. It really is a powerful "one size fits all" solution and the fact that it's all done with 2 items is completely insane
The edrag is just a way better dmg pet than skelly it literally gives u 10% stat increase and a ton of otherstuff, using an edrag for all weapon tests would have been way more fair.
Could you have a look at magma cube pet and rekindled ember armor. The ember armor and magma cube used to be pretty good dealing around the same as sa and an edrag.
"Umm actually you were wearing full superior which boosts AOTD damage"
Yeah, to be fair all your gear was focused on aotd. this does make a difference (for example if you were wearing strong dragon or shadow assassin or anything like that which doesn't boost the stats of any particular sword in the list the results might've changed)
if your comparing wepon damedge you need to make sure your using the right setup for the weapon. your setup was for the aspect of the dragons, change it to a giant sword setup and aspect of the draogs is stupid and you should just get a livid dagger
this isn't a very much fair comparison, using a pet and an item that buffs one sword specifically to make it better than others seems a bit silly, since the pet only gives a slight buff to your overall stats, and still only BARELY beating GS.
Also, the weapon sometimes doing more damage in dungeons is because of the berserker passive "lust for blood" or "bloodlust" because one of them increases your damage on the next hit by a x% after killing a mob, a better way to compare would be using LCM or just wait for the passive ability to end
I figured out about the bloodlust thing on stream last night, appreciate you telling me though. As for it being a fair test, they were fair tests but they're not reasonable ones. I covered this all from 23:03 onwards and yes, a very slight damage increase doesn't automatically determine a weapon being better than another weapon.
Which better? Full set SA + livid or full set superior + aotd + dragonfuse?
umm just asking but how much does a withered aotd with decent enchants cost?
cant wait for the prices to go up soon
aswell as eyes
in the dungeon test the wither skelly's wither effect made it better than the aotd but was not counted :/
Yeah the reason it deals more dmg is because its 200 time more expensive and hes like it's not fair bro it's called progression more cost more dmg and the fact you can combine it with e drag games over the aotd
@@urgamerboi2512 bro stop copy pasting and its the same price for aotd+edrag+glove and gs+witherskelly like and gs is better
good video!
just one thing: this was a one-tap test, actually, livid dagger is a lot better than aotd cause of attack speed, and you didnt count the bonus ability of livid dagger.
looks like someone didnt watch the video
for a "fair" test you should have left out the livid dagger otherwise you would have had to use the power of the livid dagger as well
he didnt use the drag rage ability or fots right click or giants slam or dragon rage?
@@PGDreemurr I meant the hits from behind if I remember correctly
@@dreechte o ok
he also mentions that ability av,and says that its more like a gimmick and isnt really practical.
which is true because youre mostly going to be killing mobs that are agroed at you and if they are agroed at you theyll be looking at you
Ngl if we are going off of perks giant sword still won because wither damage that wither Boi gives
But it's still great that aotd can compare to giant sword
I see in all your videos that your items are custom colored and named, how do you do that?
Hey man I just wanna ask what texture packs are you using for hypixel Skyblock. It looks pretty good
furfsky reborn
What is the texture pack u use?
You could used uncommon griffin or epic tiger or lion insted of WS since WS is dot
I maxed one for zealot grind Back in the days and now IT IS usesful :O
Hi modern can I have the livid dagger used in this vid it is the final thing I need for my floor 6 setup
Thats true but you still NEED to use the pet and Equipment with the giant sword you can use other pets and another equipment
SF with OFA and a lvl 100 Legendary Lion pet will out dmg your AOTD+Edrag by far, but whats even more funny is that a Warped AOTE with OFA and a lvl 100 legendary lion pet only does 10k less than the SF with the lion
the livid dagger has way more attack speed and 100 percent crit chance
the reason why being equipment locked matters is because gauntlet of constasian is good for juju clear and mele bers just isnt good and the resell value of an aotd is so low if you semi max a livid se 4-5 sharp 6 enderslayer 6 and alat you'll need to do all that to your aotd but if you do that nobody will take it from you and if you say that dosent matter then why not just get a shadow fury. Also livid dagger will be better with diffrent armour sets as these stats arent tuned for the weapons . And pets are better for diffrent weapons like a with them benefiting each other but overall that's a weaker point. You could spend about 11m instead getting a flaming glove for the livid dagger. There's just no reason in my opioion to not just get a livid dagger because I could get a livid dagger with rlly good enchantments and sell it when I wanna upgrade but I wont be able to sell my aotd with rlly good enchantments and in dungeons you can constiantly get bacstabs as the ai is dumb so u can just one shot the mobs and if ur assuming we have soul eater then u can kill one mob then just onetap everything and it wont matter
for both damage tests you used superior drag which buffs aotd
it only buffs ability
what equipment do u have
Its true, but not many players now about the dragon fuse glow, and its easyer to just buy a nice known gs. But I agree.
Giants sword outdamaged it as it was able to oneshot the crypts:
246k damage + the wither skeleton pet dealing 66% of that is the same as 246k + 156k which you might already figure out
402k > 248k :/
unfair tests
Most people have se5 on their livid dagger so they do much more dmg and still have an equipment slot
I feel like the base damage test was a little unfair, as it was better tuned to aotd with the thaumaturge reforge, it would be a much better test if it was just not including the reforge at all as it would more accurately portray the sword and would create less variables.
What pack do you use
try a maxed midas sword it might not be as bad as it sound
16:22 doesnt oneshot 341k hp target, 16:53 does oneshot a 341k hp target
so the giant sword itself is dealing less but the whole setup with the gs deals more dmg
Idk kow but I do around 600k to 1m damage per hit with my aotd during dungeons and I only have the dragonfise glove no superior, im mage btw and im an rcm with a spirit scepter but the aotd is really close to the damage of my ss with the dragon rage ability so idk how but the aotd can be boosted in dungeons a lot without the 200m e drag pet
Well, of course if the point to the video was to demonstrate that in specific circumstances it can out damage the giant sword, it was done correctly, but to actually buy all this buffs and actually use the AOTD for actual game is just useless in certain way, (btw you were using superior dragon if im not wrong converting it into a 224-225m set up) so just buy the giant sword or shadow fury, and use another pet, as well as better armor, it would also would take the whole mid game sword point, plus superior armor buff would be taken out if you need a better armor choice, and even livid and AOTD plus the tails man (in dungeon of course) not worth it at all, (if strict NW) but outside it would be great for a 9 millon set up,
ablility if you have like 5k mana
another thing that you havnt included with the livid vs aotd is that, the livid gives 100% crit chance so players will not have to worry about that aspect and put there gear towards other things, aswell as the use of your superior dragon buffing the aotd further aswell, and the reason i know the testing was unfair is that you have tuned all the points to the favor the aotd and used a power stone to even out the crit damage to strength ratio
Great video but your forgot 2 factors
1: the wither skeleton is more used for multi hit damage and something like a epic tiger would’ve been more comparable
2: everyone in the comments that I read never mentioned this, “it dosent really matter what armor I choose” he quotes but the armor he chose did matter the superior dragon armor full set bonus has an ability to give 10% extra stats and also buffs the aotd by 50% and if we don’t factor this it’s substantially worse than the livid dagger
Anyways good video
"Aspect of the Dragons ABILITY deals 50% more damage"
@@nubadriane639 he didnt use abilities tho
@@escino9571exactly?
would you rather sacrifice 2 different slots or just use an sword, when using the AOTD u sacrifice the gauntlet slot as well as the edrag
Just wanted to ask, does superior armor increase the hit DMG of AoTD or does it increase the ability damage only?
ability
Bro would be a good scientist bruh
