OVERWHELMING SHIELD KYLE UPDATE | The First Descendant

- This is the final video I'm making for Kyle as I think he's pretty much solved. In the video I go over whether the Slayer set is better or worse, a minor reactor difference, peacemaker and more.

Your audio is too quiet
@@ryanwaller8479 damn I even raised it up this time. I’ll raise it even more for the next video
Ajax destroys Kyle for mobbing. Also bossing…because a better tank with reliable barriers for teammates too is more useful actually than Kyle’s damage 4 because he can’t remotely do the same damage as other descendants so why bother with him anyway? Go Gley or Hailey for damage.
Finally, Kyle can ONLY BE MADE GOOD with an inversion reinforcement buff you will lose soon. It’s not reliable at al. Ajax gets better shield regen than Kyle too. Shield collector is trash in colossus fights and one of most painful mods to grind. Conditional Recharge doesn’t even work with Overwhelming Shield. So you’re STUCK using SEASONAL buffs to make Kyle good which is insulting to me.
Is there a guarantee you’ll regain another reliable shield regen ability when they remove inversion? No…
I love Kyle. I WANT to like him but I’m sorry I definitely am one of those that disagrees with you. Ajax is 100% superior. His additional tankiness and barriers makes him more useful his team in Gluttony than Kyle’s still laughable damage compared to other descendants. Just let Hailey kill Gluttony…the jet pack I love but for looks that still it’s only use lol.
And yeah for mobbing..Ajax frog leap build gets way more AoE range for skills than Kyle’s 3 unfortunately again
@@foxnfire6388 your points are assuming everything works in a vacuum imo. I’ll address them point by point.
Ajax better at mobbing - pretty sure I mentioned that in the video, not sure why it’s a point to mention when I never disagreed.
Better tank - you completely missed my point about what tanking means in this game. Also, Kyle technically has infinite shield, you don’t have to pop his 3 and can keep it on for 15s at a time with an absurdly low cooldown and regen with his 1 which is also an absurdly low cooldown. On top of that, while Kyle may not have the barriers that Ajax has, his 3 recovers his allies shields at 100% of his own.
With all that said, your own videos disprove your point since even in your Gluttony tank video from 11 days ago, 2 people go down within the first 2 minutes either way. And that’s with his amazing barrier abilities.
Damage - this is a weird one. A lot of the time an intercept boss is a dps check. Doing more damage is a good thing actually. I could use the same logic and say why play Ajax when walls exist.
Inversion Reinforcement - you can play without it. I played Kyle largely without overwhelming shield until the most recent buffs and I was just fine. With the build and cooldown management his passive is on a 30s timer, which you can mostly wait out with the use of his 3, 2x.
“Just let Hailey kill gluttony” so your entire argument is contingent on getting carried? I mean that’s fine but I prefer to get active.
@@forthepridetv Kyle is not remotely the same either for durability or damage without overwhelming shield now so no what you used before was vastly inferior I already know. Take Kyle into Gluttony WITHOUT the OS build? Lol.
Also the video you’re talking about is just testing his durability with a pure tank. Actually the hp tank is better for protecting teammates. You lose in this video too so not sure why you even bring that up.
Also his shield recovery is only useful on other shield built teammates…which are very rare and the few that exist don’t even NEED your buff lol. AND you have to be RIGHT NEXT TO THEM for it to proc which is even more stupid to me. Distance shouldn’t even be a factor when it isn’t for other Descendants like Yujin.
And you have not really answered the fact you RELY on INVERSION. Take that away and your Kyle here is definitely losing shield routinely during Gluttony until inevitable death. Sure your invincibility mode lasts long but not long enough…you WILL inevitably take damage meaning regen is required and the only reliable shield regen you have is a seasonal buff.
Until they give Kyle actual shield regen he’s just trash to me. I play him to feel like iron man that’s all. If I want to farm. Bunny or Ajax. Boss as a tank support? Ajax. Boss as dps? Hailey. Gley, etc. Buffer/good support role? Enzo or Yujin.
There is NOTHING in the entire game where Kyle is a better descendant than others for any task needed. That’s how you know he sucks in his current state…wish it wasn’t true but it is
@@foxnfire6388 I can’t tell if you’re ignoring my points intentionally or what
Your point was: Ajax is the better tank for protecting teammates, I used evidence to debunk that and you move the goalpost “well I was using my shield build not my save fwends build 🥺”
Your point now: you need to be next to your teammates to give them the shield…. How exactly do your barriers work again? Oh right.
I have literally told you I played Kyle pre-overwhelming shield buff and told you exactly how to play it so you don’t even lose shield at all and you genuinely just ignored it so I don’t even know why you’re bringing up the inversion reinforcement argument again. Maybe it’s too hard for you to look at the timer on your abilities to know when they run out, either way it isn’t my problem. I have cleared gluttony without OS and without inversion. Did I do less dmg, undoubtedly. But I cleared the content just fine.
Which leads me back to my point in the video: just because his abilities don’t work for YOU doesn’t mean he’s a bad character. Do I think he’s the best? Absolutely not. Could he use some love? Of course. Do I think he’s “worse” than Ajax? Not at all.
Either way I’m not continuing this with you anymore since I’m certain it’s not going to get anywhere.
@@forthepridetv I’m not going to bother getting locked into a pointless debate over this (do I even WANT to respond to all your counter points with my own so our essays get longer and I spend even more minutes on this? No so I’ll leave it here too..).
I will just note our one agreement at least that Kyle definitely needs future buffs which is ultimately my point as well. Yes you can clear ALL content in this game on anyone..I could clears Gluttony on my Void Walker Ajax even if I just played more evasively and maxed my gun dps. But not all descendants or builds are created equal and Kyle has always been the best example of that to me.
They definitely need to give him shield regen on a skill or trans mod in the future. That’s my main issue for sure with him right now is gets no ability at all to self heal even though others do yet he’s supposed to be the shield descendant! BUNNY…gets shield regen on a trans mod 😂
there are no tanks in this game no way to aggro no way to tank if u claim to be a tank who u tanking for yourself?
