was, oh hey all, and welcome back to Fuzzy D Gaming, and a day four update for the Lightning Strike Champion. I was looking, as I mentioned in my build guide, to progress to Slayer around this time, but I'm actually really enjoying Champion, and I think for the money I've put into it, it performs pretty well, and I can make quite a few improvements yet, so I'm going to keep pushing this character. As long as I am improving it, I will keep bringing videos out until the day I decide to stop upgrading the character. There is a ton to go through in this video. I basically played all day yesterday. I was absolutely loving, um, just the lead mechanic, mapping, upgrading my character, was really enjoying playing yesterday. So what we'll do in this video is go through the changes to my gear 'cause there's a few items I've upgraded, a slight change in the skill gems, we've added a Cluster Jewel setup in to get more defenses, and we've completed Uber lab. I'll go through briefly the content that I've completed and how it feels.

I'll go through my new atos tree that I'm going to start farming today, and then we'll just go to town, and I'll go through a few tips if you are kind of halfway through progressing your town where I think you want to aim to upgrade first. So, the first thing we'll do is just go through the gear. The PO will be in the video description. I'm not going to keep going through every item CU. Not a lot has changed. I'm just going to go through the new items, and they are voices of the storms and I've anointed arking blows. This is just huge because we don't do any crits at all. Every single lightning hit that we do is lucky, which means it rolls twice. It's just a massive damage increase. It's around 30 to 35% more damage. It was 4.2 divines, but it's well worth the currency. I've rerolled both my rings, so I brought a fractured intelligence ring for 5c, rolled Essences of Torment on it for

flat lightning damage, basically, until it hits something. Decent, I've done the same with this ring, but B fire resistance, again. Essences, a torment, to get some flat lightning damage, and then crafted life on the ring. I actually had a perseverance drop, which is really well rolled, so I've put that on to replace the one that I already had, and that's kind of it for the gear. There aren't any more upgrades. My fla still need to get sorted out automated and rolled, but bbls are quite expensive, um, so I'm just going with the flask piano for now. The only change in the links is I've added awakened added lightning, instead of added lightning, and I've got quality, um, onto most of my gems, other than lightning stripes, because it's corrupted multi-strikes. It just gives melee damage, and that's it. All the others are quality, and it certainly feels a lot better. I finally, after been lazy, added in my molten shell setup to give me a bit more tankiness, and I've completed Uber lab to

get conqueror, which gives you 10% reduced damage taken. In terms of the skill tree, the only change is dropping some points from the sword wheel and a couple of Life nodes. I've added in a cluster Jewel setup. Now that I'm level 94, the cluster jewel I've gone for isn't the best; it was just the cheapest available. Don't try to copy this because it's quite a rare config, I think, but it's not anything special. It's got Insatiable Killer, which gives me attack speed and damage while dual wielding. It's got Martial Prowess, which gives me a bit of everything. I absolutely love this node. We just basically use PO to find the best attack speed dual. This was 15c, and it gives me 16% attack speed. Then we got our Enduring Composure cluster Jewel that we crafted in the last episode. So defense-wise, we've got pretty decent armor and evasion with FL up. We have 15 fortify. We've got endurance charges. We got 10% reduced damage taken from taunt and 10% reduced

physical damage from adrenaline. It's working really, really well. We've then got our Molten Shell proc and help us out when we do get hit and take a bit of damage. Also, because we hit so quickly, this leech is crazy. I very rarely feel my life going down. I'm really enjoying the character, which is why I'm going to stick with it a bit longer rather than try and switch to Slayer when I really haven't got any spare currency 'cause it's all gone on upgrades. I'm still trying to six-link my chest, which is one of the bigger bases. It's just a long-term project. I'm just using fusions on it whenever I get them to see if I can link them, but obviously most of the time it's a no. If fusings come down a bit in price, I'll maybe look to buy some in bulk. So, in terms of the content I've been running, it's pretty much as per my at this video I bought out before the league started, and it's been disruptive.

play apologies. In the last video, I mentioned that you needed to put quantity and Al your maps to get more bosses to spawn. That's totally wrong. You can tell I've been off the game for a couple of months. The more enemies you kill in the map, the more bosses spawn at the end. So I've been doing formed invitations with disruptive play and just running the maps white because there's no need really to push the quantity and Rarity and make the maps harder because the boss drops are pretty much the same. You're still going to get boss maps to drop, and you're still obviously going to get your frag M. So all I'm doing is rotating those really quickly. So running the four maps and then doing the invitation at the end, just rolling it so it's not really really difficult. Like this build can handle them, but I don't want loads of extra life and damaging mods because then they're going to be a bit more tricky. So the way I tend to R this invitations is I'm happy to take more

damage CU it's softcore, but I want to be able to kill them quickly because if they're left alive too long and there's four at the same time, it makes it more difficult, and that's been really profitable. I've been doing both the formed and the Twisted. The Twisted is probably the one I prefer to do because the fragments sell for more. So the way I'm rolling these is, again, just doing a scout run, killing the boss, selling the fragment on the exchange, doing the invitation, getting the Maven Rits, selling those, getting anything else that drops, and sell them. And it's been a pretty good money maker. It's nothing amazing, but it's a few divines an hour, which at this stage of the league, I'm happy with. I've kept that tree so that's one that I can go and run whenever I like. What we'll go next is through the tree. I am looking to do next. I still want gold because I've got some expensive upgrades left to do in my town. So what I wanted to do is get an atlas.

tree that has mechanics that I enjoy, along with good chance to generate a lot of gold. So, I've gone with ultimatum strong boxes, and we'll use a strong boot Scarab going some torment no to get some uh ghosts into the map, so that we can get again more gold to drop on the chance of bigger items. We're still taking the XR alters and all the pack size, no, so again more monsters, more gold, and then just some map nodes here and there just to try and sustain my maps. I've have no idea what it's going to be like. I don't think it's going to be Mega profitable, so I wouldn't necessarily copy it. It's just mechanics that I enjoy doing, so that's what we're going with. If I had more points, I'll probably go in here and just pick up these Quantum Rarity ones, um, just to again make the maps have better outcomes. I did think about adding somebody implicits to add the modifiers higher on your Maps, but with ultimatum, I don't

think it's a good idea, so that's what we're going to go with. I will update you tomorrow on whether it actually worked and whether the build can cope with it. Let's go over and very quickly look at the town. I watched a few videos and read some posts on Reddit, just to find out kind of what's the best order to upgrade the town, and pretty much a consensus was to get your mining upgraded. Because once you get it to level 11, as you'll see over here, you get this perk that marking an ore in areas grants gold equal to the of ore, and you've got 45% increased ore found in areas. So, most maps you're going to find about a, or after the upgrades, maybe 1,200 that's gold that automatically goes into your inventory. Um, so I'm finding gold management much much easier now. I do want to upgrade farming. I think that's the next most important one, but I am a bit behind on that. I'm only at rank eight. So, what I've decided to focus on

was my town and my mining mainly in the town because the last upgrade. Everything goes go to rank 11 by the way. It's 25% reduced recruitment reroll cost and Ralph offers an improved roll cost. I'm not sure what that means yet. I haven't got there um but as you can see at the moment just to reset these workers and maybe not even get ones that are usable. It's 2,500 gold. Then the last thing I've tried to do is replace workers that have lots of different talents because they're more expensive. So if we go in here and we have a look at these workers. These are going to cost me a lot of money because they've got some shipping and some mining. Same with these. It's farming shipping and disenchanting. Even if you're not using them. Their salary is going to be more as you can see this person here only has two and he's 100 an hour. These lot of 250. That's something I'm going to do later on my gold is not

a problem at the moment, but later on, I'll want to basically get as efficient as I can. So I only want people to have one talent and be very good at it because you're never going to use them for more than one. So it's a waste of gold. Rog, I'm still not using properly. I'm just chucking any random I find in with him. Um, to get them to that do, but I keep forgetting to pick up rares to put in their mapping. I'm sort of started doing it and then decided it wasn't worth it till we got it upgraded because this is why. But once I Max my other things, then I'll probably focus on this. So I think the order for me is mining, then harvesting, then town, and then we'll going to shipping. I haven't done any shipping because again, I want to improve this a lot and I might need my material. So I don't want to go sending them halfway across Ray class. So that's kind of it for the town. We've gone through the gear and the

skills gone through the atos tree that I think I want to go to. Last thing I'll talk about is what upgrades I want to make next because like I said, I am going to stick on this build. This area of the tree is really not very efficient, but I need the strength and intelligence. What I would like to do is find attes elsewhere so I can dump probably these six points here. Drop these points here 'cause they're not that great either and then go a second cluster jeel setup. Gives me a couple more Jewel sockets. It can give me more damage. I can maybe get rage on hit cluster Jewel. There's loads of things that you can do with cluster jewels in this build but I'm not there yet so I'm just going to keep farming for now. Lethal Pride definitely in here with some double damage maybe some increased strength would help a lot so that is another upgrade that I want to make. Other than that I think that's about it in terms of gear. I would love to fit a t in in but I think I'm just going to

struggle to get my attributes, resistances, and everything else balanced. So the other goal, even if to buy Fus in, is to get my new six-link into play. Because if I can get something like either determination effect or wrath effect, and increased Aura effect as implicit Stacks, going to massively increase my damage. And I can roll the chest with Essences like this one. I think I got lucky like a day ago to get for like 25-30C because it is well rolled. But I definitely want to move away from corrupted six-link at this stage of the league. What I'd like to look at as well is what can replace ichimonji. Yes, the increased buff effect is nice, but it's nothing that makes or breaks the build. The main reason I'm running it is for increased Mana reservation efficiency of skills because it easily lets me slot in my auras. But could I maybe get 20% on gear and implicit, and then we can maybe craft some massive rare swords with tons of lightning damage. I don't know the

difference it will make DPS wise, but I would think it would be better. The thing about Ichimonji is the attack speed, so I'd have to get, I would say, expensive swords. They've got to be really high attack speed. Crit chance doesn't matter, so what we'd really be looking for is maybe big Fizz, convert it to lightning, or massive lightning, and maybe get some cold and fire in as well so that we can then run the Taming and get use of all three of its buffs. But that's a long way down the line, but I think that's probably what we'll look to do once we've got the Lethal Pride in and we've maybe got our second cluster Jewel set up. So what we'll do is we will go and run a map. I'm just going to see if I actually have any Strongbox Scarabs, so I'm just going to run normal ones for now, and then we'll have a look and see what Ultimatum Scarabs we've got, see if there's any worthwhile.

using I mean that seems like we should use that. The only problem is I don't like doing survive and standing Zone circles so I'll normally skip them. Obviously because we're going to be putting scarabs and we're not going to do that one thing I've noticed is chisels just seem to never drop. I'm totally out of chisels and so we're just going to go and try and find a map we can run. This is pretty much worst case scenario minus Max res 70% more Monster life and monsters blind on hit which means I'm not going to be accuracy capped so we're definitely going to roll that hinder a bit annoying poison a bit annoying but it's good enough but it's really low quantity uh but we'll just go with it it's kind of an out and go situation um not going to put anything on the atlas tree. We could to be fair put some strong boxes in because it's free yeah we'll do that why.

not just lower the Vo a little bit. I know I said I'd replace my clicky keyboard. I haven't cuz I'm too used to it now. Oh strong botes might be a. Oh no I am freeze immune. I was thinking strong botes might be a bit of a problem but uh random six-link astral plates. I'm assuming they're corrupted. If not, I think we're going to be doing all right there. They are corrupted but they'll probably sell. If not, it is some Fusions for me to try and link my chest. And then hopefully we pick up a bit of gold in this map. But we'll see. Yeah, we can definitely take the four chaos orbs from the boss. Uh, don't want consecrated ground anywhere. Now I'm hoping I've got 100% chance to Ultimate him. I'm pretty sure I have anyway. A pick strand even though it's probably one of the most sparsely populated Maps around. It's a nice lout to run. It works for me. I'll probably leave.

that uh mineral for now because it's going to really mess up my ultimatum. So we'll come back and get that at a later point, but definitely want to because it's, as I say, more gold and don't really want any of that. Did I just pick up a su Bond level two? Why have I done that? No idea. Uh, take the El Embers. I don't know if they're worth anything, probably not. We got protect the alter, nice, and there's some Catalyst straight away, awesome. So I think what we'll do is probably come back for the ultimatum 'cause since we're at the boss, we may as well do him first, would get this bloody tormented SP right end of the map as well, take our Loot, and then we're going to do the ultimatum, and then we'll click on the uh like mineral deposit, and then we'll leave. Uh, so I haven't taken the one that gives you plus one to the minus mods 'cause I find it's sometimes stops me completing the

ultimatum but I do have to watch out for ruin because at seven stats. I will just die that's fine uh yeah keep going with that inable. The ultimatum is ripping you just suddenly get one shots out of nowhere but we'll we'll do what we can. I'm going to have to take that. No we can take rank three actually we're imun to chill and freeze. I just don't want to take more ruin than I need to because I don't want to have to give up because my ruin is too high. Uh where's the enemies in here so you see with endurance charges they are up a lot of the time when you're doing content like this. Uh five fertile Catalyst awesome they're worth a bit of currency can't really take Buffs expire cuz my adrenaline is just going to expire so quickly so I'll have to take that. We're not corrupted blood immune so it's not ideal. Uh take some chisels right now we're going to take ruin because I think

we should be fine from here on out. I think we're close to the end. I'm not 100% yep. Got ruined straight away. Maybe that was a wrong choice. Uh, I don't know what Unchained is. I'm assuming it's rubbish. Another stack of Ruin. Not good. Um, we going to have to take that again because all the others are terrible. Uh, 23% wrath. I don't think quality does anything. It does not. Um, so we will take that. Should be okay, I think, because we're going to leech everything that we need to. Oh, these monsters that move and run out the circle. They need to fix those. Uh, eight in kindling orbs. Hardly great, but okay. Um, I don't really want to take the next room. We'll take more recovery of life and Mana. Why not? Oh, now I've got everything under the Sun, including blind. Let's hope we don't fail this. Oh, at the Circle. Oh, on six. That's not good. Oh, that was so lucky. Right. Don't take all them ruin next time, I think. Um.

I mean, we can sell it for a gem Cutters, I suppose. So, let me just look at one node quickly on ultimatum and explain why I'm not taking it. Let me just go and get this mining deposit first, then we'll get out of here. So, there is a node which I will take when I'm a bit stronger, but at the moment, I think it's going to brick a lot of maps for me because it sometimes forces you to take modifiers you don't want to because the tiers get higher, and that's prove yourself worthy. So, 25% chance for rewards to be duplicated is amazing. So, if you get something like, you know, Divine orbs or big Catalyst, there's more chance they get duplicated, but modifiers starting to tear higher makes it very difficult because for a lot of them, when they get to four, they're very, very deadly compared to at three. So, what it might make you do is make you take mods you don't want to. So, take the ultimatum I just did, for an example, I would have had to take the

ruin one earlier, which actually would have killed me, because I got so many stats at the end. Because I ended up getting hindered blind, which basically made me do no damage because a precise technique. So you need to consider, especially on a build that's situational like mine, what might happen in the last round. I shouldn't have taken ruin. I probably should have just taken more damage because I think my bill can handle it. Because that was a bit of a silly mistake. But that's it for this video. Thank you very much for watching, take care, and see you in the next one.
