Bro you need to join the strongwill game theory community, there are a lot of people that calculate stuff about the game like you😁 I learned some stuff there that helped me get the general gist of things, but your tutorials helped a lot to make me understand more.
I would like to see a video about a drafting guide. How to counter pick the enemy? What is the rationale to choosing this hero into their enemy comp etc
@@Sussy_Boy625 that question is good, the punch itself is a physical lifesteal but the AoE dmg I don't know.... If you don't know aldous' 1st skill is considered as dash skill I noticed it when my enemy Aldous uses 1st skill and punch, my Phoveus' passive triggered(reduce cooldown if the enemy uses dash skill). Also it is a enhanced basic attack so skills and item with immune to basic attack works.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming r u sure it's only blood, sweat and tears were spilled 😏 Or is there any other kind of liquid like u spilled 🤨😏. Is it........ You're coffee you spilled 🤨🤣🍷💪🗿
Props to you for actually talking about cost efficiency in this game. Also fun fact: Dominance Ice reduces Terizla's physical attack because of his passive. So Dominance and Antique can really gut his damage and sustain capabilities.
it will not unless you build attack speed build on Terizla, His passive indicates only "extra" attack speed that convert to dmg. Same as Kimmy's passive which also converts "extra" attack speed to Movement speed. And to be fair, Sea Halbeard is useful for Terizla which provide attack speed might be affected by dominance Ice.
Drafting is a main part of glory matches. I'd like to see one on drafts, tips and tricks on how to outdraft, counter meta heroes and also hero combos. Would also appreciate if subtitles were added. But great guide video. I've been playing ml for more than 7 years but i realised i still have small details i need to know. So i really appreciate the efforts you've put in this
Drafting guide is one of the videos I would want to do, thank you for the suggestion! Subtitles are actually already available, you need to click on the CC icon for captions, or click on the gear icon and select Subtitles, then you can select the language you want.
I'm quite new with the game. Barely 2nd month in progress. Yet, when I'm trying to compare any kind of guide created by either your guide video seems far superior in terms of quality, dedication and usefulness towards either a new player like myself or someone of above knowledge towards this game. I will definetely spread the content as much as I'll be able to. There is a difference when a content creator makes a guide compared to someone that releases cuts and pieces of some random game they had... 10/10

And I really appreciate that you commented really thoughtfully and kindly 💛 I really put in a lot of effort to make the videos, so comments like yours are the true rewards that warms my heart.

7:14 Fun fact: Terizla converts his attack speed into physical attack. If you reduce his attack speed, his attack is lowered instead. Like wise, Terizla will gain physical attack if he builds attack speed boots.
blade armour calculations are only done on the additional damage that crit damage deals. In most cases, a crit damage deals double of a normal attack, so the 20 percent crit dmg reduction will only apply on the 100 percent of the original attack damage (which is 10 percent of the entire damage dealt). The reason why the number is still a little off is that as defense increases, damage would fall of a little more
749 to 687, and 787 to 721 (×2.2÷2.4) I'm pretty sure the reduction is calculated in a similar way as the bonus of berserker's fury so it went 2+0.4-0.2
I think what a lot of players don't understand is the timing and efficiency of building items... You did a great example of building 2 yellow robe if ur thinking of building multiple mdef items. Another is building items so late like Athena shield if youre outpaced by the enemy burst hero he/she will still one shot you still. This is the reason people need to learn mid item and not just straight up let the AI do the buying and building. It involves a little bit macro.
Yeah, 2x Yellow Robe is really efficient since no other Magic Defense item even comes close to it's level of efficiency. It's like spending $2 and getting a huge lobster 🤣 You got the idea right for sure on the timing and efficiency stuff. Did you study economics? 😇
Awesome video, very informative and can definitely see why it's important to change your build in game and adapt. One thing I'll take from this is blade Armour, won't be building it when against high skill based users instead of basic attack. I also agreed about twilight Armour passive not being very good.
Yeah, adapting to the ever-changing situation in match is very important. In my head, I really need to make an itemization theory guide so all of us can use whatever information we have gained from this video and apply it to our games!
I've just recently subscribed, and your explanations are far superior than my understanding of the items. I'm a roamer and a mage player and I always try to adapt my builds based on the enemies' hero/build, especially if I'm a roamer.

Also a tank main and I understand how much work this is and thoroughly appreciate it! I play almost all the tanks but I am a Hylos main and after the last update I buy thunder belt and twilight armor almost every game unless they have a lot of magic and then I won’t do the belt. But after using all the defense items for years the twilight armor cost and large burst hit protection make it feel like one of the better items to me right now. Was bummed to see it didn’t score too highly because it feels really strong right now
@@danbyes8893 No worries, bro. It's just my opinion so don't take it too hard. Perhaps because I'm not a Tank main, so I'm unable to appreciate the true power of Twilight? 😅
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming no problem dude! This is actually way more professional than what i do so u definitely deserve it! :3 my streams are mostly weekly anyways xD btw i think my replies under ur pinned comment somehow got hidden or deleted, u can maybe check in the “held for review” section of yt comments on ur yt studio xD
I kinda wish the other Life Drain items get the same treatment that Dominance Ice does because man, buying Necklace of Durance or Sea Halberd feels like I'm sacrificing my firstborn. I know they gave them extra passives recently but my god are they underwhelming
mad respect to make this video, the calculation and explanation is easy to understand, and delivered perfectly. hopefully your channel will grow fast bro
This is a very detailed video! ❤ It helps players to be more informed with the mechanics of items, to know the proper items to buy in different situations and know when to do so! Just a note though, and no offense, I love your videos! Oracle's passive only works for the hero who bought the item and its passive effect will not take effect on allies when you heal them. That's why Estes' healing on Layla was exactly the same regardless of whether or not he has Oracle. In order for Estes' healing to increase for allies, they will have to be the ones to buy Oracle instead of him!
Props to you for making this guide and explaining it so good i was about to plan to do every item guide so new players will know what to build, mad respect for you dude keep on making this types of videos so new players will know what to build especially some players do not know what to build or how to counter enemies with items
Finally, a complete video about defense items! I've been looking for this kind of video because I'm a tank main. I really learned a lot from this video. Keep it up bro, and more power to your channel..
Damn this helps me a lot, hope to see more content like this, maybe things that players should be aware of, useful things that most players didn't know about, things that you should avoid, etc. 🗿
This really helped me understand a lot . I was always refusing to look up every defense items cause its just boring and I'm lazy , I always built athena shield as well cause I just thought it was just better but damn radiant armor does hard counters some heroes huh
Which armor do you prefer against high atck spd heroes, blade armor or dominance ice? Great details and the visuals looks clean and well taught. This deserve more views. Kudos!
I prefer dominance ice. Blade armor has high defence stats and that's it, it's unique effect is not good enough but dominance can reduce HP regen(commonly high attk SPD heroes at least has a lifesteal items), can lower attack speed and it has decent armor
Thank you for the compliments! 💛 If I had to choose only 1, probably Dominance Ice, like what @kierzsenpai3542 mentioned. Dom Ice just wins out in overall utility for me. But, if you're playing tank, you 100% won't go wrong just buying both 🙃
Really nice explanation ,on defense growth per minute per 100 gold, very detail, i already aware of this theory, so good you can make the video of it, so everyone can aware of this theory :)
I wonder why u have such a low number of subscribers. I find that ur vids are really knowledgeable and suitable to math nerds like me since u do a lot of calculations. Surely I will recommend ur channel to my gaming frds.
Man i really hate this Video...... it doesnt have enough views it doesnt have enough likes this guy has low subsribers this deserves to be atleast 10m views so that people know how to use these items man give this man a sub and likes
Hello Good Evening Friends I'm from Philippines, Based on my opinion as a Student who played almost 9k matches and playing as multirole and solo player. Athena Shield- I usually build this item against those heroes who have burst magic damage. And another thing: I usually build this item because, I got mad to those who love to ambush. Example: Like Eudora who hides on the bushes and after she kill me, spamming recall fuck and I hate that thing. Weakness of Athena Shield: -High Magic Penetration Items that can make lower the magic defense and reduce it. By this way it will make magic power deal it's total big amount of magic damage. -Just throw the magic skill/basic attack at them, after triggering the passive of Athena Shield you have a five seconds to strike and have an opportunity to kill them but sometimes they can survive by having a 1-10% remaining hp. How to know that thing: try to use gusion as an experiment hero in custom mode/practice mode. Then throw your first skill of gusion at the enemy who have build anthena shield. If you see the violet ring that's the indicator that Anthenas Shield Passive has triggered. After the violet ring disappeared that's your 5 seconds opportunity time to deal a magic damage that may kill them because Athena Shields role is to resist to survive against the burst magic damage only like eudora, Eudora have only 1 combo to kill you, the combo it takes only few seconds to kill you and Athena resist it by its passive. Radiant Armor- For me this item can help you to survive from continues magic damage/ Sustained Damage Per Seconds. But also this item can't help you against heroes who have burst magic damage with sustained damage per seconds like pharsa, gusion and other like that. But also this item can only help you against low magic damage/sustained damage per seconds heroes like gloo and other heroes like that. Weakness of Radiant Armor: -Magic Penetration items: Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive. -High Magic Power Items -If your using this item radiant armor, heroes like pharsa and gusion that having a sustained damage per seconds and also have a burst magic damage, you may survive or may be killed. If you using this item as marksman or mage or assassin you will take 75% or more damage, if you are fighter 50% or more and if you are support less than 50% and if your tank you will take 25% or more. Oracle- for me it helps me a lot as a support user and sustained heroes user. Weakness of oracle: -Anti heal/shield/regen items: like Necklace of Durance, Sea Halberd, and Dominance. -Anti Heal/Shield/Regen hero: Baxia. -Magic Penetration items: Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive. Curse Hell met - for me it helps me to deal extra damage to enemy as a tank heroes. If you noticed my grammars are wrong, Sorry because I'm not good at english so much, that's why I'm saying this... Sorry again.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Still having hard time familiarising the advantages of each items, honestly. I think, in terms of the game IQ, I already have it. But I have to admit, I have to improve on item utilisation and maximising lane synchronisation with Lord. Looking forward on you future videos! I'd like to see guide on the magic and physical items :)
No worries! Baby steps, baby steps. As long as you're learning something new everyday, you're adding to your arsenal and you'll be a strong player soon enough
This is really informative, it’s made like an actual research providing math mathematical solutions and providing experiments shown in a controlled environment. Very nice 👍 and also I’m writing this while the ads play.
I love these comments because it sounds so sciency~ HAHA! Yeah, I tried to set up the showcased experiments as balanced as I can so as not to skew any results unfairly, which would be misleading. Thank you for the support 💛
At 9:30, when talking about blade armor, you say the crit damage isn actually reduced by 20%, but it actually is. Crit shots deal 200% of your physical attack as damage, and there you built berserker fury which boosts them to 240%, but blade armor reduces it to 220%. If you calculate it 1191 ÷ 240% * 220% is equal to 1092, so the damage is consistent.
Yes, that's true. I realised that after many people telling me about the calculations. I do still think many people expect the total damage when crit occurs to reduce damage by 20% tho. It's a technicality for sure. 8% reduction can still be useful
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming it can be more than 8% dmg reduction against heroes like Lesley and Ling that have lower crit base damage (140% if I'm not mistaken, instead of 200%). But still guardian helmet and twilight armor are preferable against Lesley
The reason why blade armor doesn't actually give you a 20% damage reduction is that it reduces the enemy's crit dmg stat, which starts at 200% (except for Lesley) and goes to 240% with Berserker's fury. So, the actual reduction is from 240 to 220 instead of 100 to 80; and 20/240 is indeed 8% actual damage reduction.
like I said in your stream, your defense guide was extremely helpful! I'd like to see some role guides as well as magic and attack items from you in the future :]
This is a good guide for beginners that would like to understand defence items a little better. One minor inaccuracy you made was regarding the mention of Guardian's Helmet. Minions and creeps are two different entities. You should have mentioned that the reduced regeneration only applies to getting attacked by heroes and creeps, while minions do not reduce the passive healing when hit by them. Although not in the section of defence items, you could have mentioned something on Wind of Nature, Winter Truncheon, and Rose Gold Meteor. These items have their defensive capabilities too just like all the other items mentioned in your video. Considering you included two boots, it should be okay to include the above mentioned items into this video as well. Overall, you made a great comparison video of defence items. Good job and I am looking forward to your future content. Cheers uwu
A fair and critical comment, thank you for that! Actually, enemy minions do affect the passive regen for Guardian Helmet. Just to make sure, I went into Training Camp and tested it again on 3 different heroes, and I'm defo not getting full regen from Guardian's Passive when getting hit by minions. So I'll have to correct your correction here. 😅 Yeah, those items could have been included, but I kinda wanted to keep the video under 20 mins. Didn't want to bore you guys over that time limit 🤣 In hindsight, I probably should have put those in tho, like you said. Cheers, and I really appreciate the feedback! 💛
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Oh, is that right? Apologies for the mistake hahaha Usually when I clear waves with Guardian's Helmet, it's not obvious that the reduced regeneration is applied since the aggro is usually on your own minions. So I probably never realised that. Understandable that you wanted to keep the video not too long in length. Thank you for the reply!
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming dont make separate video of attack and magic bc almost every item basically have similar use the only item which not comparable are critical items and spell vamp for attack, and cooldown items for magic
I am so glad you made a video on this, I've explained this so many times but nobody understands that Oracle isn't good for a support hero, it's a Exp laner item, and Dreadnought Armor is so bad, legplate is just so much better for a squishy
Immortality is also better for fanny , ling etc coz when they resurrect they resurrect with full energy /mana That way you have better chance of escaping
Agreed! I should probably have said it in my voiceover in the video, but I had already pre-recorded the audio and didn't want to go back to changing it 🙃
Such an amazing item guide! As a content creator, i know the exact time and effort put into this is crazy. Definetely deserve my sub and respect! Edit: Can i ask what made you take a pause from making videos? You were already doing so good 7 months ago
Bro this video is AMAZING! Keep posting more of these kind of videos. I want to see a drafting guide. What to prio pick / how to counter pick / what to look out for etc. Thank you! Love from Singapore bro
Super glad to have some local support! 💛 Appreciate the kind comments bro. And those are some good ideas, I will add this to my list of video ideas, thank you!
Great video. Just to add, twilight armour has to combo with the double helmet. The higher your hp, the better. It definitely allows you to tank alot of hits from Lesley with DoI as well. I played Balmond (tank/jungler) oh boy the blade armour doesn't help at all. I sold that off for twilight armour. It tanks better. I sold off immortality too. Whats the point of second life if she will jst one shot your 2nd life. Lol.
Aye, Twilight Armor passive scales with extra HP, so it helps to have the Double Helmet Combo Wombo (say it together now 1... 2... 3). Yeah, Blade Armor does nothing against Lesley's True Dmg, and the HP from Double Helmet also helps tank even more True DMG. It honestly depends on the game situation though, bc of Twilight's super high CD of 5s, unless Lesley is constantly being forced back, she's gonna push in normal Physical Dmg too, which Blade Armor will be superior for. If you have the space, probably get both.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I dont think she got time (she was in full crit build without malefic roar) to respond to the Twilight armour switch because the moment I swith to those build, Lesley got overconfident (because she killed me twice 1v1) and she tried solo 1v1 again. Well, she got owned and we push to end the game. XD I may need to check the replay if she had Malefic roar when I had the Blade Armour..
Ah, okay! Nice switch at the right time, that's good itemization from you that changed the game! Thanks for sharing the experience bro. Nothing like real experience on the battlefield. 💪
Also, another tip! Antique Cuirass' passive can stack multiple times when all allies have bought it. This way, you can more effectively reduce all physical damage taken from enemies!
So I've tested this, unfortunately Antique's passive is unique, and so multiple Antique Cuirass held by multiple enemies cannot reduce enemy Physical Attack past 24%.
Thank you 💛 You can also check out @StrongwillGameTheory who has plenty of build guides on specific heroes. They really go deep in the math to make those guides!
I was just trying this same experiment by my own and i remember there is an app called UA-cam, so that's how I come to know. Thanks for your hard work. Love you bro! You saved my time.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming No problem man. I just binge ur whole catalogue on yt. Ngl if u keep this up, im not even suprise if u channel will blow up. Ur editting, insight and info u give in ur video is just really well execute. Looking forward to ur next vid in the future. ❤💛
My final item for cyclops is Immortality, and when I die, I quickly sell it to buy Queen’s wings. This helped me survive against the 3 heroes that were waiting for me to revive from immortality.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I click prioritize for Queen's Wings and save up 1000 gold so that when I quickly sell Immortality, Queen's Wings would pop up ready to be bought.
Usually, The item is based on your character weakness and enemy lineup, if theres a gusion jungle on the enemy and youre using grock, best bet is to buy 2 magic cloak and a hp crystal asap, since those items are T1, you can slowly work one to a radiant armor. those items alone would provide you bit more time and sustainability to survive gusion full combo
Dont look at every enemy youre going to deal with at the Early game, build defense based of what is a threat to you before dealing with the other threat
In a way, yes, there should be a holistic approach in the itemization against a certain line-up. The amount of computations on what's optimal is kinda crazy to calc, but in general, an optimal approach would be to build efficiently against enemies you'd regularly encounter that are strong in the early game first in order to improve survivability against them. Building against an enemy you're less likely to encounter, is IMO, at the very least sub-optimal.

Quick question, does aldous first skill attack count as a “skill” that can apply spell vamp?

btw i think my replies under ur pinned comment somehow got hidden or deleted, u can maybe check in the “held for review” section of yt comments on ur yt studio xD
I kinda wish the other Life Drain items get the same treatment that Dominance Ice does because man, buying Necklace of Durance or Sea Halberd feels like I'm sacrificing my firstborn. I know they gave them extra passives recently but my god are they underwhelming
IKR! I think your comment really hits the feels for many people who are gonna read this 🤣
Sea Halberd is good now tho, it counters high hp heroes...which is the meta
mad respect to make this video, the calculation and explanation is easy to understand, and delivered perfectly. hopefully your channel will grow fast bro
Thank you for your kindness and encouragement bro! 💛
You have no idea how much I needed this video, your attention to detail will definitely earn yourself more subscribers than you think,
Thank you for the well wishes. I hope the details can help more players be aware of the nuances of these items 😇
This is a very detailed video! ❤ It helps players to be more informed with the mechanics of items, to know the proper items to buy in different situations and know when to do so! Just a note though, and no offense, I love your videos! Oracle's passive only works for the hero who bought the item and its passive effect will not take effect on allies when you heal them. That's why Estes' healing on Layla was exactly the same regardless of whether or not he has Oracle. In order for Estes' healing to increase for allies, they will have to be the ones to buy Oracle instead of him!
Appreciate the love! 💛 I believe I included the tips on Oracle in the video too, so thank you for sharing it anyways
it's in the video
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Ohh okk sorry, I didn't watch the full video 😅
@@MoobWorld It's alright bro, we got the same idea 🤗
Bro OP content 🔥 And the thumbnail og too hats off to you brother ( tell me what software you use for the thumbnail design 😅)
Appreciate it man! I used photoshop to create the thumbnail 😁
This video needs waaaaaaaaaaaaay more views then it currently has.
I madly respect you for this video.
Thank you for the amazing compliment 💛
I've never seen such detailed mobile legends guide in my life. You've earned a subscriber!
Appreciate the sub my man 😁
Props to you for making this guide and explaining it so good i was about to plan to do every item guide so new players will know what to build, mad respect for you dude keep on making this types of videos so new players will know what to build especially some players do not know what to build or how to counter enemies with items
You should do them too if you can bro, then we can help the newer players together 😇
Finally, a complete video about defense items! I've been looking for this kind of video because I'm a tank main.
I really learned a lot from this video. Keep it up bro, and more power to your channel..
Thank you for the power bro, I'm absorbing it fully to make better content for you guys to enjoy 💛
It’s so detailed, no wonder so many people watched it. (This is your most viewed video so far. Will you make items for other categories?)
Yeah, I might do it~
Damn this helps me a lot, hope to see more content like this, maybe things that players should be aware of, useful things that most players didn't know about, things that you should avoid, etc. 🗿
Great suggestions! I'll keep those in mind. Thank you 💛
9:27 I think it's the 20% of the *extra damage* from the crit, rather than the total damage dealt.
Was abt to comment this.
Good times back when defense items actually made you tanky, compared to the cancer assassin meta now after all defense items got nerfed
I also do testing on my own spare time, but the amount of effort i put in on my testing is nowhere near even 1% from yours. Tysm dude for the video!
My fellow Science Enthusiast, welcome! Glad you liked the content 😄
New into mobile legends and I rarely see in depth content about ML as good as this one. Props to you expecting a attack vid soon.
I mostly play as marksman, mage or ranged support but I also plan on learning how to tank. This is a very helpful video for my plan. Thank you
Glad that it could help your plans to play tank. We need more tank players in this game! 😄
You work really hard. Loved and subed🔥
This really helped me understand a lot . I was always refusing to look up every defense items cause its just boring and I'm lazy , I always built athena shield as well cause I just thought it was just better but damn radiant armor does hard counters some heroes huh
Yeaaaa, Radiant really does work against Chang'e especially!
This is sick. It's fun to see newer likeminded people like you pop up in the SWGT community.
And it's really fun to discover and join a like-minded community like SWGT's!
What is SWGT
The quality of this breakdown is so 🤌
Man, I love that hand gesture emoji. Thank you 😊
Which armor do you prefer against high atck spd heroes, blade armor or dominance ice?
Great details and the visuals looks clean and well taught. This deserve more views. Kudos!
I prefer dominance ice. Blade armor has high defence stats and that's it, it's unique effect is not good enough but dominance can reduce HP regen(commonly high attk SPD heroes at least has a lifesteal items), can lower attack speed and it has decent armor
Thank you for the compliments! 💛
If I had to choose only 1, probably Dominance Ice, like what @kierzsenpai3542 mentioned. Dom Ice just wins out in overall utility for me. But, if you're playing tank, you 100% won't go wrong just buying both 🙃
Really nice explanation ,on defense growth per minute per 100 gold, very detail, i already aware of this theory, so good you can make the video of it, so everyone can aware of this theory :)
Nice one on catching on to the theory early. Let's go us Stats nerds! HAHAHA!
I wonder why u have such a low number of subscribers. I find that ur vids are really knowledgeable and suitable to math nerds like me since u do a lot of calculations. Surely I will recommend ur channel to my gaming frds.
Thank you for the support! I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed my videos, from math nerd to math nerd. 💛
This was amazing
Thanks for the great work
Glad you enjoyed it!😀
I like how you explained the defense items and its actual effects in the game. Please do the same for the attack and magic items.
Glad you liked it! Working on those 2 videos RN 😉
Wow. This is such a well-put video. You earned my sub!
Awesome, thank you!

it doesnt have enough views
it doesnt have enough likes

@@RubyRubyRubyGaming MWEHEHEHE
Hello Good Evening Friends I'm from Philippines, Based on my opinion as a Student who played almost 9k matches and playing as multirole and solo player.
Athena Shield- I usually build this item against those heroes who have burst magic damage. And another thing: I usually build this item because, I got mad to those who love to ambush. Example: Like Eudora who hides on the bushes and after she kill me, spamming recall fuck and I hate that thing.
Weakness of Athena Shield:
-High Magic Penetration Items that can make lower the magic defense and reduce it. By this way it will make magic power deal it's total big amount of magic damage.
-Just throw the magic skill/basic attack at them, after triggering the passive of Athena Shield you have a five seconds to strike and have an opportunity to kill them but sometimes they can survive by having a 1-10% remaining hp.
How to know that thing: try to use gusion as an experiment hero in custom mode/practice mode. Then throw your first skill of gusion at the enemy who have build anthena shield. If you see the violet ring that's the indicator that Anthenas Shield Passive has triggered. After the violet ring disappeared that's your 5 seconds opportunity time to deal a magic damage that may kill them because Athena Shields role is to resist to survive against the burst magic damage only like eudora, Eudora have only 1 combo to kill you, the combo it takes only few seconds to kill you and Athena resist it by its passive.
Radiant Armor- For me this item can help you to survive from continues magic damage/ Sustained Damage Per Seconds. But also this item can't help you against heroes who have burst magic damage with sustained damage per seconds like pharsa, gusion and other like that.
But also this item can only help you against low magic damage/sustained damage per seconds heroes like gloo and other heroes like that.
Weakness of Radiant Armor:
-Magic Penetration items:
Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive.
-High Magic Power Items
-If your using this item radiant armor, heroes like pharsa and gusion that having a sustained damage per seconds and also have a burst magic damage, you may survive or may be killed.
If you using this item as marksman or mage or assassin you will take 75% or more damage, if you are fighter 50% or more and if you are support less than 50% and if your tank you will take 25% or more.
Oracle- for me it helps me a lot as a support user and sustained heroes user.
Weakness of oracle:
-Anti heal/shield/regen items: like Necklace of Durance,
Sea Halberd, and
Dominance.
-Anti Heal/Shield/Regen hero:
Baxia.
-Magic Penetration items:
Arcane boots, Genius Wand, and Devine Glaive.
Curse Hell met - for me it helps me to deal extra damage to enemy as a tank heroes.
If you noticed my grammars are wrong, Sorry because I'm not good at english so much, that's why I'm saying this... Sorry again.
One of the best guide I've ever seen.
Keep up brother ❤
Appreciate it bro! 💛
the best guide video about items ive ever seen, thank you!
waiting for same guide for attack items as well!
Appreciate the kindness my friend! That guide is in the works~
This is a great video! Thanks. Hope you can add summary table for the stat you computed. So we can have an easy comparison for items. 🙏
Thank you! Let me see what I can do about this aye? Maybe I should create a Discord server...
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Still having hard time familiarising the advantages of each items, honestly. I think, in terms of the game IQ, I already have it. But I have to admit, I have to improve on item utilisation and maximising lane synchronisation with Lord. Looking forward on you future videos! I'd like to see guide on the magic and physical items :)
No worries! Baby steps, baby steps. As long as you're learning something new everyday, you're adding to your arsenal and you'll be a strong player soon enough
This is really informative, it’s made like an actual research providing math mathematical solutions and providing experiments shown in a controlled environment. Very nice 👍 and also I’m writing this while the ads play.
Oops forgot to add that You as well showed clips of the practical applications of the items in an actual match
I love these comments because it sounds so sciency~ HAHA! Yeah, I tried to set up the showcased experiments as balanced as I can so as not to skew any results unfairly, which would be misleading. Thank you for the support 💛
this is super awesome!😍 i would love to watch your attack guide!
Working on it! 💛
Very informative video, thanks dude
Btw I have a suggestion, you should do a max range check for stuff like Dominance Ice, it would help some people
Good idea, I'm just thinking how to make it easier for our players to gauge the range
At 9:30, when talking about blade armor, you say the crit damage isn actually reduced by 20%, but it actually is.
Crit shots deal 200% of your physical attack as damage, and there you built berserker fury which boosts them to 240%, but blade armor reduces it to 220%.
If you calculate it 1191 ÷ 240% * 220% is equal to 1092, so the damage is consistent.
Yes, that's true. I realised that after many people telling me about the calculations. I do still think many people expect the total damage when crit occurs to reduce damage by 20% tho. It's a technicality for sure. 8% reduction can still be useful
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming it can be more than 8% dmg reduction against heroes like Lesley and Ling that have lower crit base damage (140% if I'm not mistaken, instead of 200%).
But still guardian helmet and twilight armor are preferable against Lesley
best English defense video tutorial out there period.
Aww, thank you for the mega compliment bro! 💛
man
first time i'm looking a video of yours
and your content is legit Goated
sheeesh!
Thank you for your kindness 💛
The reason why blade armor doesn't actually give you a 20% damage reduction is that it reduces the enemy's crit dmg stat, which starts at 200% (except for Lesley) and goes to 240% with Berserker's fury. So, the actual reduction is from 240 to 220 instead of 100 to 80; and 20/240 is indeed 8% actual damage reduction.
True dat. The math checks out for sure.
Any items to counter badang?

Thank you for dropping by in the stream too! Appreciate your support 🙏💛
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming of course 💛
@@junostarr Seems like the yellow heart is catching on 💛
thanks , great details in vid
Thank you! 😄
This is a good guide for beginners that would like to understand defence items a little better.
One minor inaccuracy you made was regarding the mention of Guardian's Helmet. Minions and creeps are two different entities. You should have mentioned that the reduced regeneration only applies to getting attacked by heroes and creeps, while minions do not reduce the passive healing when hit by them.
Although not in the section of defence items, you could have mentioned something on Wind of Nature, Winter Truncheon, and Rose Gold Meteor. These items have their defensive capabilities too just like all the other items mentioned in your video. Considering you included two boots, it should be okay to include the above mentioned items into this video as well.
Overall, you made a great comparison video of defence items. Good job and I am looking forward to your future content. Cheers uwu
A fair and critical comment, thank you for that!
Actually, enemy minions do affect the passive regen for Guardian Helmet. Just to make sure, I went into Training Camp and tested it again on 3 different heroes, and I'm defo not getting full regen from Guardian's Passive when getting hit by minions. So I'll have to correct your correction here. 😅
Yeah, those items could have been included, but I kinda wanted to keep the video under 20 mins. Didn't want to bore you guys over that time limit 🤣 In hindsight, I probably should have put those in tho, like you said.
Cheers, and I really appreciate the feedback! 💛
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming Oh, is that right? Apologies for the mistake hahaha
Usually when I clear waves with Guardian's Helmet, it's not obvious that the reduced regeneration is applied since the aggro is usually on your own minions. So I probably never realised that.
Understandable that you wanted to keep the video not too long in length. Thank you for the reply!
No worries my friend! It all adds to the discussion. 😎
i love deepdive content like this! u got yourself a sub
And I love your Raiden PP 😍 Thank you for the sub!
Aww, and they just updated the items too.
great detail, another for attack and magic
Thank you! Yes, I'm planning to 😉
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming dont make separate video of attack and magic bc almost every item basically have similar use

I am so glad you made a video on this, I've explained this so many times but nobody understands that Oracle isn't good for a support hero, it's a Exp laner item, and Dreadnought Armor is so bad, legplate is just so much better for a squishy
Heads being hit with nails and all with your comment bro. GG 😄
I think at blade amour the 20%crit dmg will be reduced from the 200%crit dmg (or240% if u bought berserker)and not from 100%
I think you hit the nail on the head there. That might just be how the mechanic works. I'll have to verify this. Thank you for the insight!
Amazing! Thank you for your time and effort in putting together this terrific resource.

Super glad to have some local support! 💛 Appreciate the kind comments bro. And those are some good ideas, I will add this to my list of video ideas, thank you!
Let's go Singapore!
Great video. Just to add, twilight armour has to combo with the double helmet. The higher your hp, the better. It definitely allows you to tank alot of hits from Lesley with DoI as well.
I played Balmond (tank/jungler) oh boy the blade armour doesn't help at all. I sold that off for twilight armour. It tanks better. I sold off immortality too. Whats the point of second life if she will jst one shot your 2nd life. Lol.
Aye, Twilight Armor passive scales with extra HP, so it helps to have the Double Helmet Combo Wombo (say it together now 1... 2... 3). Yeah, Blade Armor does nothing against Lesley's True Dmg, and the HP from Double Helmet also helps tank even more True DMG. It honestly depends on the game situation though, bc of Twilight's super high CD of 5s, unless Lesley is constantly being forced back, she's gonna push in normal Physical Dmg too, which Blade Armor will be superior for. If you have the space, probably get both.
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I dont think she got time (she was in full crit build without malefic roar) to respond to the Twilight armour switch because the moment I swith to those build, Lesley got overconfident (because she killed me twice 1v1) and she tried solo 1v1 again. Well, she got owned and we push to end the game. XD
I may need to check the replay if she had Malefic roar when I had the Blade Armour..
Ah, okay! Nice switch at the right time, that's good itemization from you that changed the game! Thanks for sharing the experience bro. Nothing like real experience on the battlefield. 💪
I swear bro I respect you for this video... It's not easy in the slightest.

Thank u! really needed this since coming back to playing ML again.
Welcome back! How long was it from when you stopped playing?
Items that are not on the defence tab but is a defence item...Rose Gold Meteor, Winter Truncheon
True story bro. I had wanted to include those, but didn't want to bore you guys out by making the video over 20 minutes! 😅
This is the best guide I ever seen in UA-cam ngl good vid 👍
Aww, I appreciate the kindness! 😇
Also, another tip! Antique Cuirass' passive can stack multiple times when all allies have bought it. This way, you can more effectively reduce all physical damage taken from enemies!
So I've tested this, unfortunately Antique's passive is unique, and so multiple Antique Cuirass held by multiple enemies cannot reduce enemy Physical Attack past 24%.

My final item for cyclops is Immortality, and when I die, I quickly sell it to buy Queen’s wings. This helped me survive against the 3 heroes that were waiting for me to revive from immortality.
You have fast fingers my dude
@@RubyRubyRubyGaming I click prioritize for Queen's Wings and save up 1000 gold so that when I quickly sell Immortality, Queen's Wings would pop up ready to be bought.
You need to say yourself just one phrase: you are amazing!
Usually, The item is based on your character weakness and enemy lineup, if theres a gusion jungle on the enemy and youre using grock, best bet is to buy 2 magic cloak and a hp crystal asap, since those items are T1, you can slowly work one to a radiant armor. those items alone would provide you bit more time and sustainability to survive gusion full combo
Dont look at every enemy youre going to deal with at the Early game, build defense based of what is a threat to you before dealing with the other threat
In a way, yes, there should be a holistic approach in the itemization against a certain line-up. The amount of computations on what's optimal is kinda crazy to calc, but in general, an optimal approach would be to build efficiently against enemies you'd regularly encounter that are strong in the early game first in order to improve survivability against them. Building against an enemy you're less likely to encounter, is IMO, at the very least sub-optimal.
Great content and thanks!
This is actually a pretty well made video! Hope you'll continue to upload tho
That's the plan~ 😉
