hello YouTube, this is B Mage again, and we're going to talk about our league start. So we've put out two good poison minion guides, and then uh, I've decided to do neither of them because as many of you may have seen about 7 months ago during Affliction League, there was a spectacle dark Marinette, and its entire purpose was to die. It exploded for its own damage on death and resurrects itself automatically. They were called Dark Marinette, and I absolutely loved them. That is not League startable, however, the corpses are back, so I want to pivot into that as quickly as possible. The efficient way to do that would have been to start with the holy Relic build like I'm getting other people to start with, and then use that to gather all the stuff I need and then pivot the necro into an explode necro. But thematically I didn't like it, just like the story of my character didn't really track that way, so I went looking around the YouTubes to see if I could see.

anyone doing popcorn SRS? 'Cause starting as explode SRS and then moving onto explode specters as quick as possible felt more thematically good to me. So let me jump into a scene, you can see my monitor on Boom, here we are. I found a dude covered it quite well, this guy right here named tables, what a name, uh. I've already looked through it, I've looked through the path of building, it looks pretty decent. Uh, this is what I'm going to be using until I can change, so this is a whole build guard here. Uh, so instead of doing my own and figuring it all out, uh, I figured I'd just link to this guy's, since I'm literally Ying his build as a plan to start, so I pulled out his path of the building. It's not quite as detailed as what I normally do with like several trees, but it does have a few leveling trees in it so we can know where to go and in what order. Um, I don't know if I will follow this point for point, knowing who I am as.

a person I'll probably make make some changes wherever I like, but this is going to be my current plan is to to roughly at least follow this guy's popcorn SRS build. Now, I do think both the poison Minions that I put out will end up being better builds than this, so unless you really want to play explode, which is a different play style and also fun, um, you could just stick with one of those, but since I'm going explode specters, I really want to level as has explode something, and this seems like the best solution to keep like the story. The theme going of just pop explodes, and I do not have a guide for the Spectre autobomber, but I do have a 7mon old one, which I will also Link in the description. It is also what I will base this leagues off, obviously this one's a little bit old. It has the old um wraith Lord Helmet, so we're going to gain an extra two minions there. Um, also with the candra Rings existing, we won't

need the replica dragon Fang at all that's almost certainly not going to be part of the build either but this is going to be what it's based off right. This will be where we start. Um, I'm going to work it out as I go so I don't have a real plan. Um, this is not a build guide. I do not expect other people to, uh, follow it, but I thought I'd tell everyone what my plan was, which is to become dark Marinet as quick as possible. So I will link to this old video so you can see the build I'm going for, and I will link to this guy tables SRS guide. So, uh, if you want to do the explode thing instead of one of the poison things just to be thematic like me, uh, go ahead. This seems really good, seems like a pretty good guide. It's all thought out. I like the tree I'm going with it. All right, that's it. I'm off to bed. Can't wait for the morning with the league starts, and I will see everybody.

B Mage's Change of Plans for the League Start

B Mage initially planned to use a holy relic build to gather what was needed and then switch to an explode necro, but didn't like it thematically.

Instead, B Mage decided to start with popcorn SRS and then transition to explode specters.

B Mage found a YouTuber named tables, whose build guide he will be using for the league start, as it aligns with his new plan and provides leveling trees.

Plan for Spectre Explode Build in the New League

The speaker plans to loosely follow a popcorn SRS build for a Spectre explode build in the new league, but believes that poison Minions may be a better option.

They will base their build on a 7-month-old Spectre autobomber guide and make changes as they go.

The goal is to quickly become dark Marinet and they will link a video for the build they are aiming for.
