Astral Chain - Aether Speedkill - Fusion (19 seconds)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Astral Chain Superboss killed in a single Fusion. 19 Seconds from first to last hit. 35 seconds on IGT.
~2630 DPS. Gear is shown at the end.
I had 8% Attack Boost, 120% Critical Damage Boost, 20% Crit Chance. I always knew it could be done. This is in no way optimal (perfect gear could be twice as fast) but I'm not going to grind for more abilities. Astral Chain Playtime: 415 hours
Music: Astral Chain: The Only One (Satoshi Igarashi, Naofumi Harada, Hitomi Kurokawa,Masahiro Aoki, Satoshi Setsune)
Game: “Congrats on beating the literal God of the Astral Plane in 19 seconds completely unscathed! Please take this empty can as a token of our appreciation!”
About as useful as the first time reward...
_*Aether, the most dangerous chimera humanity has seen. Its mere existence symbolizes certain death_
*Abarax:* _*Drink Spicy Cobra._ LET'S F*CKING DO THIS!!

LOL so true. It's just worse for me since I used preset C which meant it was some claw grip (hold Y and mash X) which is really uncomfortable to do for long periods of time.
OK THIS GUY STILL HAS NO LIMITS TO POWER
This guy: This is in no way optimal...
Could've fooled me...
I knew XCX and Astral Chain were similar with their advanced tech/humanity’s last stand themes and music, but I didn’t realize that they’re both super easy to break if you know what you’re doing
There are two options for Astral Chain imo: first being technical and difficult execution, and second being brute force strength. Second one is easier and results generally in higher scores due to how well time bonus scales in a lot of cases.
I love your avatar customization bro
Thanks lol
If I ever get to this quest, I will try this strategy
Good luck
@@Abarax Thank you, I'll need that
I know this is an old video, so I probably won't get a response on this. However, I still want to ask. I've been trying to replicate this, but Aether breaks out of the stun right as start chucking the energy scythes at him. Then he teleports right in front of me and prevents me from really making use of the powerups. Is the positioning really that important? If it is, would you suggest others do it at the same spot you did. Also, does the ability code build need a high crit rate to be effective?
What this video doesn't show is the many failed attempts before finally everything seemed to line up in my favour.
I'm still not sure on the specifics of keeping an enemy stunned, its either enough hits fast enough or a lot of strong hits in a row.
For me, having it teleport out of the way was a problem too, that's why I started using Beast Howl. If you wanted to be safe you could also try putting Slow Attack on the Legion you fuse with (although then unless you have the ability codes you want you'll do less damage).
I found the positioning to be important, this spot and this distance seemed to work for me in the end but I'm pretty sure I somehow got lucky with the stunlock as well.
Your ability codes needs a high crit rate - the Fusion attacks are all "yellow" (critical numbers) by default but they aren't actually critical hits - you need a decent balance of attack, crit rate, and crit damage to get the most out of this and without a decent crit rate (~15% or more) I don't think it would be possible.
@@Abarax I figured that there were many failed attempts before you actually got it. Speedrunners are not perfect after all. I just didn't know if what I was experiencing was common with failing replicating this. Also, I was not aware that the fusion attacks were not actually crit attacks, which explains why the damage was never that big. I'll keep that in mind when readjusting my build. I might try a slow attack method as well. It really helped me with getting an S+ in person of interest on Platinum Ultimate after all. I have been using the beast howl, but that problem does arise. I suppose part of it is me hesitating because I don't think I will have enough distance. Thank you for this insight.
Would this setup of abilities still work regardless of any legion?
Yes, it doesn't matter which legion it is on, as long as it's the one you fuse with.
I didnt even known you could do range attacks. The game does a really bad job at teaching you what the Fusion form even does, and even if it did, the whole fusion mechanic is hardly even utilized in the game for it to really matter.
Yeah, they don't tell you what to do or what affects it.
I played this game for 60 hrs and didnt know u can do ranged attacks with fusion.... How???
Because a lot of the games tutorials are really bad and don't explain anything. Do you also think that Sync attacks are the only way to charge fusion gauge? Because dealing damage does as well.
Even without going into technical stuff like where in combo chains can you instantly use other techniques, the tutorials are lackluster.
@Velocerbate Got bored with answering how to do the fusion projectiles, I've answered it multiple times on multiple videos.
@@Abarax The game does a fine job explaining the basis of the gameplay, but okay
@@gonhunter3994 The tutorials are still somewhat basic and don't cover everything. Fusion as an example doesn't tell you about the other 3 attacks it has. Tutorials don't tell you about the dodge offset stuff (some guy had to map that all out himself over the course of a few weeks).
I agree that they do a fine job explaining the basics, but not everyone is content with being basic.
In case you're still wondering how to do it, here's what the wiki said:
"Aiming Mode (L) - While aiming, press (ZR) to shoot energy from the claws." So, yeah, just hold down L and spam the fuck out of ZR.
HOLY SHIT!!!! GG DUDE!!!
sir how are you suppose to aim and line it up and if i have 300% (200 and 100%) in critical rate and i still do the bear minimum even if i managed to increase my power? plus do you throw a few energy claws then stop and continue?
Lining it up is very hard because you need a good distance from it, you need it to not recover from a stun too quickly, and you need to keep it locked in the stagger animation. It's very hard and while I think my position in this video is good, I was very lucky and found it accidently. Aiming itself is done with the Legion ranged attack buttons (on my preset C; X and mash Y), and aiming with the right stick.
You can't have 300% critical rate, you might mean critical damage, in which case; no, you can't do it like that. All Fusion damage numbers are yellow, *as if* they were critical hits, however for some reason they are not critical hits. That's why its more important to have as close to max crit rate as you can, and *then* do crit damage.
@@Abarax yeah critical damage is what I meant, so I can’t have anti freeze, but have critical rate by 3% and effect spread? Do you have a social media account that I can use to reach you on to get a better understanding on how to do this, because I’ve been at this for 5 hours to kill this guy and it ain’t working
@@ashtonerby8890 The strategy in this video is all about offense and has no defense, so you don't need Anti-Freeze at all, unless it has really good offensive (attack/crit damage/crit rate) stats on it. You can see at the end that I have Perfect Call and Chimera Analyser because they have high attack and crit rate stats (the calculator I made to optimise my gear codes indicates that having as much crit rate as possible is pretty much mandatory).
You can pretty much really only do this *if* you have strong Ability codes, if you don't it's near impossible and its not consistent even with gear as strong as mine. I'd personally recommend using a slower/safer strategy with Axe legion (ua-cam.com/video/eIZOzpwsmVw/v-deo.html).
I have social media, but I'm sorry, I don't want to offer personalised help:
-Just maximise in order: crit rate, crit damage, attack (but have some of each) - you need really good ability codes though, probably better than what you have
-Make sure you're buffing properly: drink + sync keep + power charge, you need all of them
It took me around 100 attempts and this was the only one that actually worked. I wouldn't recommend this as a strategy, its just a showcase.
I finally beat him by using your tactics and mine considering I literally rode beast so much, I thank you and I could bring you a fruit basket if needed. Thanks again
@@ashtonerby8890 Congratulations. I'm glad you were able to do it.
Nice strat but why didn't you use close attacks
weaker and slower
@@AbaraxIs it's only advantage that it has life steal?
@@Xanderchu All Fusion attacks have lifesteal.
The Fusion melee combo has damage scaling of 200 -> 220 -> 240 -> 260 -> 280 (forgot if its 4 or 5 hits).
The Fusion ranged attack has a scaling of 235, but its a LOT faster after the first few attacks and has no hitlag (melee you have to animation cancel by dashing so it comes out as less DPS overall unless you also need to stagger the enemy or break a shield, but Aether isn't easy to stagger in this way).
@@Abarax I'm usually on so much of a power trip when I use the fusion that I don't notice damage scaling
@@Xanderchu Yeah. Usually you wouldn't need to worry about it and generally I'd recommend just spamming the melee attacks. Ranged is just better for this particular showcase, and against certain bosses.
How do you use that attack???
Depends on your control preset. I used C, so for me it's hold X and mash Y (as well as lock on with r stick).
Wiki says preset A is hold L and mash ZR.
@@Abarax okay got it thanks
O-O
can you throw off the save?
What do you mean?
@@Abarax I'm sorry, I don't know English, I use google translator
save files from the game astral chain, I don't know how to explain it yet
@@АндрейВострокнутов-д6о I don't have a hacked switch - I cannot share my save file.
@@Abarax ok
Tell me how
I haven't played in a few months so this might be a little off:
Fusion has its 4 attacks, and the ranged is the fastest, but weakest per hit, but all things considered it has the highest DPS potential (see: boss shredder, speedrun strats etc).
The base attack does like 0.9~1.1 * 76.5 damage per hit or something, so we boost 1.5x with power charge, 1.5x with the drink, 2x with sync keep, and then 1.08x with attack up gear. This gets us to around 370 damage per hit.
Now Fusion's attacks are displayed as crits but they aren't actually crits. There are two types of crits, and fusion benefits mostly from random crits (as opposed to headshots or backstabs) due to the higher multiplier. Headshots/Backstabs are +25%, and random is +100%. I boost the crit chance to max (20%) and then the crit power to 120% (not the max it can be but best for this).
All comes out to about =0.9~1.1*(76.5*(1+8%))*(1+50%)*(1+50%)*2*((1+((100%*(1+120%)))*(20%)). Turns out it wasn't my best set up, but was my 5th possible best for this kill.
@@Abarax you the best! Thanks! Gimme a shout out when you rise to a million subs which I know will happen!
@@Abarax is there a build showcase you can have? Can you do effect spread on multiple legions?
@@TwistedFoo There isn't really anything special to the builds I use, its just an optimal combination of attack up, crit rate/damage, and berserk that I calculated from several hundred thousand combinations of gear that I have. Sometimes if I'm experimenting I'll change things, and sometimes I use slow attack stuff on arrow legion, but mainly just damage up stuff.
Effect Spread does work on multiple legions but if you are asking that I think you don't know how it works in the first place. Effect Spread make it so that the ability effects of your SELECTED legion are applied whether that legion is summoned or not, AS LONG AS that legion in particular that is selected (in the wheel on the bottom right of the screen) has it. Only one legion's effects can be active at a time, and if you want the effects, each individual legion must have at least one effect spread trait.
