@@Swordfish_I heard from someone that he tried classic in hard mode without losing a life, and to his dismay and my relief, he did not unlock the skin that way
@@Swordfish_ It's 100% gonna be related to getting a full aether tier set of medals for a character in arcade mode; the thing is they are fine tuning arcade right now, so that might take a while.
I wish the game itself had a timeline to show what you can unlock as you level up your character. Or at least show the reward for the next level. I also wish there was a way to see what items in the shop (like death effects and costumes) look like in game before you buy them, just to see if they're worth the coins. Edit: Ok so, you can see the next reward for when you're about to level up, but I would like an easier way to view my progress. Something like a character stats screen that shows a character's ko numbers and win/loss ratio, and shows the character's current level as well as the next reward without needing to play an online match.
I didn't even realise that some of the online modes gave more XP. Now I can get the Level 50 skin for Maypul even faster c: Also thank you for being one of the only people I've seen to not hate on the Skunk Maypul skin LMAO
When I heard Maypul's L50 was a skunk, I was pretty down on it. But it actually looks mad good! I go back and forth between blue skunk and default bandit now.
Been looking for this exact video! Found a list on the discord last night but it was hard to find. Thanks for this! The only thing we need now is a chart or video showing EVERY unlock and what they actually look like. I mean I wanna see all the respawn platforms and skins.
Weirdly enough I thought that it having red flames made it cooler since his default skin has his red mane turning to a red flame, but with the black panther skin it turns a black mane into a red flame. For me I find the contrast to be a lot more appealing and it makes it when his fire is on all the more prominent. Though I can understand your disappointment.
Thank you for this! Very nice to have a resource like this outlining all the rewards so you know exactly what you're grinding for. Good luck on the future iceberg video too!!
Lets go ive been waiting for somebody to make a video about every rewards since day 1 glad it finnally out i was starting to do the analyse myself thanks for the video really usefull stuff !
Oh good. This is gonna save me some Aether Bucks. Thanks for puttin' this guide out. Didn't know it was also based on damage and stuff, so that's cool to know as well.
It's about 1200 XP per hour base. That's 5 hours for 6 levels per char. Bottom line, the cap of 200 levels takes ~165 hours. That's 1650 hours to max everyone. Oof
0:42 ay yo! I just found this video by sheer coincidence. Glad my efforts came to be helpful~ :D i also want to add that 1v1 online matchmaking gives more XP than Offline, if that wasn't stated yet. haven't figured out the multiplier, but it's at very least x2. And the XP bonus on 2v2 and FFA are based on the amount 1v1 gives you.
The lvl 50 skins are overall pretty good but I wish more of them were references like Clairen and Loxodont's because that's just awesome. Also I think the Abyss skins are gonna be unlockable through story mode, since it's plot relevant!
Shranno will always be my favorite, i love playing in my room by myself and hitting Forward Aerial and yelling "GET OUTTA MY SWAMP!" its my favorite thing ever
I didnt notice that Forcebures mask was off. I also didnt like the zettaburn skin at first but, what really changed my opinion was seeing him throwing his projects and his black hair glows and is lit on fire, really make up for it. Also, a small pet peeve of mine is that ronnos color of his bubble are the same as his skin in the profile picture but it's different in game.
I'd assume Abyss skins will become unlockable with the release of Story mode; possibly unlocked through story progression, but more likely tied to specific challenges.
I NEED those abyss skins, they look sick. Can't wait to get my leopard Clairen too, I like her more without the visor. Considering paying for that Leon skin since I have 500 bucks atm but the Ranger one looks much cooler. As a sidenote, yeah some of the skins are way too expensive. Paying half the price for the game just so you can be a funny meatball man is crazy. I'm really hoping the events give a decent amount of bucks to help make those prices seem less egregious.
Saving up all my coins and bucks for the release of the Civet skin for Maypul, it looks so so good but currently is unavailable (you can look at unavailable skins in the Dragdown wiki page for each character)
I'm really hoping the abyss skins will be free from arcade because that would be awesome. Also those level 50s are sick, and I'm glad my two characters got the best ones (kragg and clairen lol)
I was wondering why I wasn't seeing any of the more expensive skins in the coin shop. I need to be a lot more careful about how I spend those I guess. I know other games usually have currency in their battle passes, so hopefully events will have some bucks as rewards
My 2nd favorite animal (elephants) has a skin that's the print of my 1st favorite animal. (a giraffe) Ur...ur joking. A game has never called to me so much! This game wants me to play it! Ugh, please, Rivals! Come to consoles, I beg of u!
My only pep peeve with skins is parts of the moveset not matching them all that well. I play maypul and have the winter stoat skin. Love the skin it's just jarring when I plant Lilly or terry. The green just doesn't match
Clarinet's visor looks so derpy in-game. They should do another pass on it. In general, all the models have a lot of rounded shapes and sausage finger syndrome. They could do with more edges and being sharper and blockier in places.
Right now you can't see the alternative colors for each skin in the store so I think you can make a similar Showcase video to display all of those colors and get similar a traffic compared to this one
Does the experience calculation mean that if you repeatedly play arcade mode on hard mode and die then press continue to add onto the timer, you should gain multiple levels? Or is there a limit on the experience you can earn per arcade mode completion?
I'm not looking forward to the grind, but I'm determined to get more alt colors for every character without spending money. Little disappointed by how few good colors there are on a fresh account.
@BowlerSSF2 The crouch canceling makes it very unfun to fight in terms of trying to speed through it since lots of combo starters end up with you getting cc smash attacked. Otherwise the story ai is pretty decent (mostly) to just fight casually. Fleet AI definitely needs some help.
I noticed when playing local games that only player 1 gets XP. which is kinda unfortunate because we play on the same pc with 2 or 3 controllers and imo all characters controlled by humans should get XP. does anybody know if this is a bug or intended?
No bucks at all past level 50? Darn. I would understand if they got progressively rarer but i wish they were still available. Look at me complaining when theyre already so nice about it though lol
you basically get a full refund of the game in aether bucks if you max out the release characters then we get 40 more characters over the next 10 years for free + monthly events
Bro, Marc Knelsen is in the game!? Man, that's so awesome!! It's like a special gratitude to him for being the official concept artist and at some point the artist lead of RoA. Man, the rivals wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for ElRanno. Thanks to him now Zett, Clairen and Absa look sexy as hell!
@@BowlerSSF2I don't think they are going to the shop. The devs said that the skin that came from outside the game it's not guaranteed to go to the in-game shop.

@@jonathanwaldrep8503 oh dude there are some genuinely great skin alts, but there's also sets like clairen's lvl 50 skin alts, which look like gamma shifted recolours.
There's no way the abyss skins won't be unlockable
That was like the only thing to unlock in the original rivals
I remember hearing that they are Dev only, so if you find someone online using them you are most likely fighting a Dev
Dan said he will make it really hard to earn but the devs don't know how yet.
200 - silver, 300 - gold, 400 - platinum and maybe 500 - abyss skin?

Where did you get the PNGs of the different skins and color variants? I’ve been looking everywhere for them online
I’ve been waiting for a break down like this. Couldn’t find any of this info online
Do you start the game with any palette swaps? I only seem to be able to select the default, L and R does nothing.
Saving up all my coins and bucks for the release of the Civet skin for Maypul, it looks so so good but currently is unavailable (you can look at unavailable skins in the Dragdown wiki page for each character)

I like the skunk one, but it's such a missed opportunity that the leaves are green instead of white, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Agreed. Worth putting in the feedback forum, you never know!
I was the maypul skunk :)
Been trying to find this and struggling, where do we get the 8 bit skins? are they like, beta or backer exclusive?
These were part of the kickstarter, I’m not sure if they’re still available but it’s maybe possible.
This video is clairen, but also clairen with a sprinkle of CLAIREN!
I heard there was skins for level 70, 85, & 100. So that's not true?
What's the deal with that dragon Forsburn skin that's been going around?
I’ve seen the post, and no sadly it’s not real. Those are leaked skins from an earlier build

maybe do video showing each infividual reward

So sad the clairen leopard skin doesn't have a snow leopard varient
1 hour match 999 percent every stock lets go
One question, can you download it from Xbox console
How can I use this stuff? My taunts basic and I wanted to use the free one I got.
I did actually see someone using abyss zetter online, so someone out there know how to get it
W vid
They did ranno dirty ;-;
how do you get the glass loxodon?
So how do I cheese the level up system?
Rivals 2 lore video when?
15K View in 10 Hours, that was wild
does making bots fight each other work?

They are currently disables because of the bugs showed in the video.
They will be available to use again once the bug is fixed
