Never knew that about Inara and Haven, good to know. Could you make a guide for where all the ult totems are and the maps they are on? Probably be a short one lol!
Thank you for mentioning the Inara and Haven diminished returns. Each time i get a loss in ranked playing Inara there's always that one guy being like "Inara didn't buy haven, report for throwing."
DR does have an increased ehp effect as you get more of it, so despite the diminishing returns you're still losing out on a lot of effective health pool. Inara will actually gain more absolute effective health from Haven when MG is active, it's just less proportionally. Around 1k ehealth without it, 1.5k with it active.
@@Darzk92590 no one said it didn't. However i find the utility of having Chronos/Vet instead of Hav/Vet outways the extra 500 EHP and cost of getting haven maxxed. I could purchase morale for extra stuns, master riding to get back into the fight from a death, get extra lvls in on Rejuv. Many things, however a majority of my matches either go 9 min or 18 min. Getting haven doesn't go well in my experience so take the anecdote as you will.
I mean, even with diminishing returns, you have at best 50% uptime on her damage reduction ability. You will vulnerable half of the time. And in my little experience in the game, people will focus me when playing inara exactly when I dont have my Eartern Guard available.
Fun fact: Every character who can go invisible; their name starts with an S. Simple thing for new player to remember so they know when to buy Illuminate :)
My favorite thing is using his Ignition for infinite ammo or Soul Harvest with a card in my build that gives me ammo when I use it. When I’m in a position that I have to reload but am in the middle of a fight it’s very useful, especially since it gives you infinite ammo with Ignition and health/armor with Soul Harvest
I hope this guide helped you out! What other Paladins guides would you like to see from me in the future? Also, for more guides, make sure to check out my Paladins Beginner's Guide playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLYpWSvLruf6WfsG55NU9_oBJp3dX2zQbe.html EDIT: I accidentally put deft hands as the image for wrecker. My bad 😅
The best way to improve us to use the same champion/characters for a long period of time, talking strix as our characters to use will make you better with snipers, cassie will make you better with thin proyectiles that travel at high speed and so on
You know I've been telling other content creators to make a video about this over the past couple years because paladins literally teaches you nothing about this and there's not a lot of content out there on this. Grant it you learn it from playing the game but I always thought a video on this would be so useful to noobies. Thank you Andrew for making a video on this and putting this information out there for new players.
Guardian is great on Torvald if you se that the enemie's champions have bought 4 items and wrecker isnt one of them because it affects your shield and the bubble you give to your teammates. Doesnt happen alot though.
It's great on Fernando as well as long as wrecker isn't everyone's items. Say bomb king buys wrecker but he's being focused by the flanks. Guardian will protect you from EVERYONE else. It's good but situational. Mandatory on Torvald for sure.
@@aaronblasco5190 It's not about multiplying the dmg, it's about accelerating the dmg by reducing the reload time, so you can do more damage in less time, in some cases the character's weapon practically has infinite shots with Deft Hands 3.
Lest by honest,even when you now everything about the game,beginner's guide are some of the best videos to watch,maybe it is because your trying to conform what you now?
16:10 Tell that to my rank teamates who lock support after I tell the whole team I want support just for them to go damage talent bc thehy said they wanted damage but it was already taken
if you are at the bottom of the list you are the weakest player. also, some people just don't care if that's what they want. you should get good with at least 4 champions in every class to fill in. being a team player is better than demanding and thus expecting.
You haven't mentioned him but I want to ask if chronos is effective on tempering azaan, the one that increases his cooldowns, anyways great video have a great day!
it would be cool to make a guide video to ranked talking about topics like which champs for each maps, which champs work well w each other, who to ban etc etc
The comments about diminishing returns on DR and not buying Haven for Inara are just wrong tho. Going from 50% to 56.864% damage reduction on Inara grants her an extra 1495 effective health; when MG is on cooldown you get an extra 1031 ehp. The balance between Chronos, Rejuv and Haven is up to player discretion but all three are contenders.
I'm going to ask you about "Wrecker & Buldozer" is Raum extra health is shield or illution? I've been playing Paladins since OBT (I forgot OBT XXX number, but it's around 2017), and as far as I know Raum is using both shield and illution, everyone angry when I use buldozer to kill raum idk why, he only have shield when bubble come's out..
damn, never knew about the refund option even though I have been playing ON and OFF Paladins since 1st May 2017 (6 years in total). Only 1K hours in total across 2 accounts though
I will say, Isn't Betty another one of those champions that you should buy Deft Hands for solely because her reload is just, you know, slow? Same with Buck. Also, go ahead and report me for using Deft Hands on Grohk when healing.
@AndrewChicken whenever i open my game, it always shows the Game Tips, even though i’ve turned them off several times. Is there anything you think I could do about it?
thank you this is one of the most precise clear and informative guide for Paladins. but I still don't know exactly what you mean by diminishing returns is that another mechanic
Brings me joy that right when we’re getting some new players that you’re making these videos. It’s much appreciated for the vets that have been playing for 5+ years. The game lacks to teach the knowledge you actually need to play the game, and it’s left too the recognized to teach the community. Which is sad, but like I said I’m really happy that you’re doing this it’s much needed keep it up chicken man👍
Pip and grohk benefit from deft hands. Pip on mega potion because his card resets potion with damage. Grohk because it's faster to reload than to use a bunch of points to buff ammo/regen for his healing staff. Try it yourself.
If you are fighting against 2 shielded tanks buy deft hands cuz you wont be able to regen ammo fast. Grohk is melting shields like hell, i have realized this in the recent weeks.
Tbh kill to heal shows itself like useless item even for flanks since it works only if you won a fight, but you cannot really heal yourself fully after a fight, so you're still vulnerable unless you retreat
@@snbk220 It's been an issue for a very long time and they know about it already. I don't believe they can actually do anything about it for multiple reasons.
As a torv and nando main I think guardian isn't that terrible. Worst case scenario they waste an item slot trying to melt me. Esp on torn since I prefer going all in on veteran guardian after chrinos for survivability. Not to mention talent one plus guardian three lets met shield for over a thousand shielding.
Can you upload a match when you upload a tutorial too? Because most of us already know the basics and with only tutorials we can't get our daily dose of commentary paladins match
@@blastinnn the fact that it change one of your damage points into healing and had a hard lock on setup made it bad. it would force you to heal even when you are trying to do damage to the other team. that is just bad
noo, they changed this, used to be 1 item for AOE and 1 for Direct attacks.... now haven defends against both AOE and direct... while guardian increases shields
is the guardian worth it on Makoa? now at tier 3, it give 30% more shield = 1200 HP for shield, which is just more than enough to trigger the Barrier reef card also, should we go haven on Azaan, or Veteran is better? he has the passive dmg reduction already
it is useless if your enemy has wrecker. it isn't enough of a difference when wrecker is taking the shield down more than guardian is improving. hope that makes sense.
@@irisbailar3980You misunderstand. Makoa's shield is meant to take damage. Barrier reef refunds the cooldown based on how much damage it took. So increasing its health then having it destroyed lets you put it back up really quickly. Makoa used to have a 0s CD on it if it got destroyed. Guardian lets you get closer to that.
Great video I was struggling a bit with certain champions and the best items for them. I just wish auto buy would stay turned off when I disable it because its annoying loading up paladins and turning auto buy off every time in the options. (PS4 player so yay bugs all the time)
You could've also mentioned lex/octavias passive abilities that can help with credit generation. Also i always thought that rejuvenate and cauterize interact as rejuv wil l increase your healing and then cauterize works. Meaning that if you get healed by 750 but rejuv increases this by 30% (+225 healing = 975 healing) and then cauterizes effect works so the healign is reduced by 90% (so 97.5 healing). I didn't realize that rejuv just decreases the caut.
Rejuv also increases healing lmao. My point was that it stacks additively against anti-healing. If you have 0% anti-healing, then you'll get 30% increased healing.
But it does slow down them reaching the 6000 dmg mark for the 20 credits under "Damage Dealer" (or 40 credits on a damage champion), which is what Andrew was referring to
if you use these guides to come and get better like "maybe this loadout is what i need to get good" and you just still suck! :( have you maybe concidered that you just horrible at the game and it actually has nothing to do with the loadout but your skill issues??
The best items to buy on Yagorath is Haven, Life Rip, and Resilience. Haven protection you in travel form and your headshot hitbox. Life Pip keeps you alive longer and with a self healing you will win most fights. Also life rip works with her acids spray and pools. and Resilience which works with the card Extermination Didn't buy Rejuvenate because you shouldn't be that close to your team to get much use out of it as you can't stand in the open on Yagorath as it is. Seriously, I had to tell people to stop following me while I was on Yagorath because they can't keep up and only putting themselves in dangerous situations or... and this is the key part GIVING AWAY MY POSITION!!! Do not buy Chronos. You may think it's a great idea. It is not. First the things you are using the most which is her quills and acid has cards that works better. And the things with the longest cooldowns you shouldn't be using that often. It is best to attack over using Hardening or Acceleration. Hardening isn't use for protection outside if some ultimates Acceleration should never be used from spawn be it is your projection ability. You have no idea how many Maeve players run after me thinking it is an easy kill only to die within seconds as self healing cards and life rip and she can't keep up with Yagorath. Even at self healing, she can't so enough damage to kill. Primal vision will let her know exactly where you are. Also her piercing quills go through everyone and shields and acid spray goes though people. It is always best to not aim at the person in front of you but aim though them to the person behind them. Also aim at people's feet. This will maximize damage output which Yagorath has the highest damage output of all frontlines with 1000 to 1100 damage per second per person because again Piercing Don't buy Morale Boost because you shouldn't be using your ultimate that much as it is. If I didn't say it here, that's because you shouldn't get it, your abilities does what it does, it isn't worth getting it, or you can't get it.
As a support, I'd still appreciate rejuv on a Yag. Periodically you have to fallback to team and it helps me get you back into the fight without using all my resources.
@@Chr0n0s38 as a frontline player who plays Yagorath, why would I waste a spot on rejuv when you should rarely see me like the other team should rarely know where I am. again why am I coming to you to help get Me back in the fight when I should go unseen by the other team. the only time they should see Me is for their death.
@@darkstalkerknight63 After a fight you're going to be low. Besides you only listed 3 cards and said anything else is bad. You have room for one more card.
@@Chr0n0s38 that is after a fight, by the time they come back, I should be full health anyway. so again why waste a spot on rejuv. even with a have another spot open, why waste in something that it on that.
@@Chr0n0s38 did you miss the part where I said "because you shouldn't be that close to your team to get much use out of it as you can't stand in the open on Yagorath as it is." also after the changes recently " Hardening isn't use for protection outside if some ultimates " no longer apply. now for all ultimates just use Acceleration . Hardening is now just an attack and should never be use for protection in most cases.
rejuv has nothing to do with generating ult. it is to heal you more by teammates. just playing generates ult. if you are doing your job. i.e. healing, doing dmg, capping point, pushing payload.
@@AndrewChicken don't report somebody for buying a item not everyone a sweat like you an understand ever single champion talents an cards an what items to buy an how percentage works
@@mikesimmerman4457 Not only is what you're saying totally unrelated to what this comment is about, but I also don't report people for buying items lmao. I joke about it (like reporting people who buy deft hands on Grohk), but I don't actually do it.
Even if i love rei it is kinda true if you compare her to someone like lillith and furia solar blessing, i wish they would buff the healing or rework the first talent to make it do more healing the more it bounce, you can use the card deft magic and her first or second talent and switch link between targets so you get your heals faster but she still has a low ouput healing and also not having a huge range on it
@@aaronblasco5190 well everytime because almost all rei players i see are bad or mid, i maybe saw 2-3 time some good rei players but they were in my team, and the few ones in the ennemy team i was tank or support
@@AndrewChicken Very nice, I have been watching you testing out some stuff like Guardian Torvald and Meditation Yago. I'm glad the items feel more impactful now, but I'm even more concerned than before that I'm not making the right choices every match.
Deft Hands is good on Spirits Domain Grohk since its the most effective way to recover his ammo in that setup. The card is far less effective and your shock pulse has too long of a cooldown so its inefficient.
No, it's not. By default, Grohk's staff will naturally regenerate faster than if you allow the reload animation to transpire. You're dumping credits into an item that will ultimately bring his reload up to par with his natural regen, incurring the opportunity cost of not picking chronos, morale boost, etc. NEVER buy deft hands on Grohk.
@@anatithe5358 I mostly use Spirit's Grace and Crackle for the totems, since the speed is so good. As level 2 fillers, I have Thunderlord and Electrostatic. It provides good healing output, and once your staff is almost depleted, just take a quick breather to let it regen. Invest into chronos and morale boost for more totems and more ults. Deft hands is not necessary because, like I mentioned, recharging is faster than reloading by default, and that is even more the case with Electrostatic in your build. Deft hands 3 will allow the reload to finally become faster, but you could have bought morale boost 3 instead. Morale boost is FAR better on Grohk because he has one of the best ults in the game.

Deft Hands might seem like a meme, but in the hands of the right dmg, or the right flank, it can mean more damage in less time.
Deft hands doesnt do more damage, just makes it more consistent letting you attack without stoping

if you want to reduce a cooldown for faster or more often use on a skill then chronos is best.

Also i always thought that rejuvenate and cauterize interact as rejuv wil l increase your healing and then cauterize works. Meaning that if you get healed by 750 but rejuv increases this by 30% (+225 healing = 975 healing) and then cauterizes effect works so the healign is reduced by 90% (so 97.5 healing). I didn't realize that rejuv just decreases the caut.
Rejuv also increases healing lmao. My point was that it stacks additively against anti-healing. If you have 0% anti-healing, then you'll get 30% increased healing.
Most champions earn a flat amount ultimate charge by just hitting their shots and skills, so haven does not reduce ult charge for enemies
But it does slow down them reaching the 6000 dmg mark for the 20 credits under "Damage Dealer" (or 40 credits on a damage champion), which is what Andrew was referring to
@@Karu_TC yes but that's credit income, not ult charge
@@mastrorick yk what you're right I misread your comment
You forgot to put seris on illuminate list
she isn't gone for long
if you use these guides to come and get better like "maybe this loadout is what i need to get good" and you just still suck! :( have you maybe concidered that you just horrible at the game and it actually has nothing to do with the loadout but your skill issues??
?
Think it might be you😂
The best items to buy on Yagorath is Haven, Life Rip, and Resilience.
Haven protection you in travel form and your headshot hitbox.
Life Pip keeps you alive longer and with a self healing you will win most fights. Also life rip works with her acids spray and pools.
and Resilience which works with the card Extermination
Didn't buy Rejuvenate because you shouldn't be that close to your team to get much use out of it as you can't stand in the open on Yagorath as it is.
Seriously, I had to tell people to stop following me while I was on Yagorath because they can't keep up and only putting themselves in dangerous situations or... and this is the key part GIVING AWAY MY POSITION!!!
Do not buy Chronos. You may think it's a great idea. It is not. First the things you are using the most which is her quills and acid has cards that works better. And the things with the longest cooldowns you shouldn't be using that often. It is best to attack over using Hardening or Acceleration.
Hardening isn't use for protection outside if some ultimates
Acceleration should never be used from spawn be it is your projection ability.
You have no idea how many Maeve players run after me thinking it is an easy kill only to die within seconds as self healing cards and life rip and she can't keep up with Yagorath. Even at self healing, she can't so enough damage to kill. Primal vision will let her know exactly where you are.
Also her piercing quills go through everyone and shields and acid spray goes though people.
It is always best to not aim at the person in front of you but aim though them to the person behind them.
Also aim at people's feet. This will maximize damage output which Yagorath has the highest damage output of all frontlines with 1000 to 1100 damage per second per person because again Piercing
Don't buy Morale Boost because you shouldn't be using your ultimate that much as it is.
If I didn't say it here, that's because you shouldn't get it, your abilities does what it does, it isn't worth getting it, or you can't get it.
As a support, I'd still appreciate rejuv on a Yag. Periodically you have to fallback to team and it helps me get you back into the fight without using all my resources.
@@Chr0n0s38 as a frontline player who plays Yagorath, why would I waste a spot on rejuv when you should rarely see me like the other team should rarely know where I am.
again why am I coming to you to help get Me back in the fight when I should go unseen by the other team. the only time they should see Me is for their death.
@@darkstalkerknight63 After a fight you're going to be low. Besides you only listed 3 cards and said anything else is bad. You have room for one more card.
@@Chr0n0s38 that is after a fight, by the time they come back, I should be full health anyway. so again why waste a spot on rejuv.
even with a have another spot open, why waste in something that it on that.
@@Chr0n0s38 did you miss the part where I said "because you shouldn't be that close to your team to get much use out of it as you can't stand in the open on Yagorath as it is."
also after the changes recently " Hardening isn't use for protection outside if some ultimates " no longer apply.
now for all ultimates just use Acceleration .
Hardening is now just an attack and should never be use for protection in most cases.
Hell yeah!
I didn't know about "rejuvenate"
Could you make a mini guide on how to generate ultimate?
rejuv has nothing to do with generating ult. it is to heal you more by teammates. just playing generates ult. if you are doing your job. i.e. healing, doing dmg, capping point, pushing payload.
Too bad that the Payload game mode has been canceled! It was so cool and fun to play!
That's just wrong, who told you that?
@@AndrewChicken don't report somebody for buying a item not everyone a sweat like you an understand ever single champion talents an cards an what items to buy an how percentage works
@@AndrewChicken alot of people may know 15 or 20 out of the 58 champions
@@mikesimmerman4457 Not only is what you're saying totally unrelated to what this comment is about, but I also don't report people for buying items lmao. I joke about it (like reporting people who buy deft hands on Grohk), but I don't actually do it.
It was added back in.
The way He called Rei a low output healer 😥...
Even if i love rei it is kinda true if you compare her to someone like lillith and furia solar blessing, i wish they would buff the healing or rework the first talent to make it do more healing the more it bounce, you can use the card deft magic and her first or second talent and switch link between targets so you get your heals faster but she still has a low ouput healing and also not having a huge range on it
Does it need it with that ult charge and suport, while also being the hardest support to kill?
@@aaronblasco5190 rei hardest support to kill ? Lillith is worst
@@Chaton_Mignon as a Flank, how often do you win a 1v1 against a Rei?
@@aaronblasco5190 well everytime because almost all rei players i see are bad or mid, i maybe saw 2-3 time some good rei players but they were in my team, and the few ones in the ennemy team i was tank or support
Remake with the new items coming soon??
You bet! My goal is to have a new guide available within the next month or two. There's still a lot to test right now, but we'll get there eventually!
@@AndrewChicken Very nice, I have been watching you testing out some stuff like Guardian Torvald and Meditation Yago. I'm glad the items feel more impactful now, but I'm even more concerned than before that I'm not making the right choices every match.
Ibfeel dumb...where does he talk bout damage dealers?
No way did Andrew say rei is a low output healer
Deft Hands is good on Spirits Domain Grohk since its the most effective way to recover his ammo in that setup. The card is far less effective and your shock pulse has too long of a cooldown so its inefficient.
No, it's not. By default, Grohk's staff will naturally regenerate faster than if you allow the reload animation to transpire. You're dumping credits into an item that will ultimately bring his reload up to par with his natural regen, incurring the opportunity cost of not picking chronos, morale boost, etc.
NEVER buy deft hands on Grohk.
@@AndrewChicken Hold on, you mean hold the little bit of charge left before it goes to over heat and regen from there?
@@anatithe5358 Yes, that's faster than letting it reload.
@@AndrewChicken TIL. Is the regen card even worth on staff heal then? Or the default regen rate should be fast enough.
@@anatithe5358 I mostly use Spirit's Grace and Crackle for the totems, since the speed is so good. As level 2 fillers, I have Thunderlord and Electrostatic. It provides good healing output, and once your staff is almost depleted, just take a quick breather to let it regen. Invest into chronos and morale boost for more totems and more ults.
Deft hands is not necessary because, like I mentioned, recharging is faster than reloading by default, and that is even more the case with Electrostatic in your build. Deft hands 3 will allow the reload to finally become faster, but you could have bought morale boost 3 instead. Morale boost is FAR better on Grohk because he has one of the best ults in the game.
