I'm pretty sure the reason as to why the Yeti Sword is inconsistent in damage is because it deals more damage when closer to the target.

Here's what I think about these weapons (in no particular order) Spirit sceptre: good damage, easy to use, versatile Glacial scythe: good damage, harder to use, but very good for clear if you practice with it Yeti sword: big rock smash = big damage (very fun to use) Midas staff: great damage, but a little bit difficult to use and is very expensive All these weapons are good in certain scenarios, but it's mostly about figuring out what works best for you.

thanks to help this community and make those interessting vids gab !

You will only ever use multiple mage weapons at once (that is the point of a magic class). Yeti + sceptre works great, because you use sceptre for clear or long range and if there's a mini boss. Another amazing combo is Yeti + spoon. They each have a 1s cooldown, meaning you can cycle between them to do massive damage, while still using a sceptre for clearing mobs. The glacial scythe is actually good 😮!!! You have to aim at their feet, so the projectile AND explosion hit, doubling you damage. It is still not worth the 50m, but it is not as bad as you made it seem. Midas staff is really good. Honestly it's probably a skill issue if you can't do master mode with it. I know its not for clearing, but THATS WHAT THE SPIRIT SCEPTRE IS FOR!!!! You testing these weapons in F7 boss almost seems like you are purposely putting them into a bad environment to make the sceptre look like the only option. One last thing. To me at least, it seems like you are so used to a wither blade that you either [1] don't know what each of the weapons you tested is used for, [2] are used to large aoe from a wither blade (bias towards the sceptre), or [3] are using the complexity of the F7 boss fight as an excuse to be biased toward the sceptre. I usually agree with your videos and have an enjoyable time watching them, but this video is quite literally just you showing how biased you are towards a weapon. You focused way to much on clearing potential in this video, and because mage is meant to be played with a clear weapon AND a damage weapon, these tests were extremely skewed. And you probably won't see this comment, but hopefully it gets enough likes to bring it to the top.

The I have with the yeti sword is that it has a hyperion like playstyle so you are close to the mobs but it doesn't offer the buffs that the hyperion and other necron blades give such as healing.

Something I think should be mentioned is that the yeti sword is probably well paired with the baby yeti pet (legendary): It boosts the damage and intelligence of the yeti sword, providing more lcm and rcm damage and the pet also serves as a great solution for tankiness (also use dwarf turtle shelmet)

11:00 I think the yeti sword ability damage is based on how close to the center of the chunk the mob is

also the yeti sword depends on how close and far you are from your target the closer you are the more damage it will deal

For the glacial scythe, I crafted it for some reason when I was basically a noob, that I had a lot of ice minions and 10M on ice collection, I didn't know it was this good.

Oh wow that storm armor is really cool!! I wonder how you got it!?

the clear issue you had with glacial scythe was a very clear skill issue, as well as the miniboss fight, if you aim at feet it does 2x damage due to the fact its hitting them twice, once with the explosion and once when it pierces through the target. in clear you completely ignored the explosion damage which would help a lot clearing

Going into F7 with just a Sceptre is not what I was suggesting, I was just comparing sole RCM damage against other sole RCM damage. Ideally I would suggest using a Sceptre + an LCM weapon of your choice (Shadow Fury or Felthorn Reaper work really well) as this is miles better than any other mage options such as the Midas Staff or Yeti Sword. The LCM weapon is the boss destroyer and the SS is the clearing weapon. As for reselling the Midas Staff, how does this change anything? There is no point in forking out 300M for an objectively underwhelming weapon when you can spend 70M of those coins on a SS + LCM Weapon and then the other 230M coins on talismans, armour, pets, etc. You're going to get better performance, it's going to be more reliable and you won't have any of the problems the Midas Staff has? Mentioning the Midas Staff's potential in lower floors is quite literally insane, because if you're spending 300M+ to complete F6 and below, you're already doing something horribly wrong. You should be trying to complete the higher dungeon floors (M3+) spending that sort of money, and if you can't achieve that well with a Spoon, then it basically renders it as a useless upgrade

Its worth its price considering it allows you to do Kuudra, acts as the best healing item in the game, the best damage item to use outside of dungeons, etc. Imo its worth its price considering how difficult it is to get, along with its high demand. All that Midas staff does is just high damage output in very little situations, which isnt worth even a fifth of what the hyperion is.

Im using a spirit sceptre to clear and for minibosses/bosses I switch to my spoon, fully agree with you on the point that sceptre is just the best at clearing, but for a lower cata level its harder to consistenly kill mobs with high hp

i don't like that people underestimate glacial scythe so much, its a much better weapon than the spirit scepter because it has infinite pierce AND an explosion AND slows mobs, making it very good for clearing mobs and minis. having used all of these items quite a bit, i can comfortably say that glacial is much better than spirit scepter and is actually comparable to yeti in a lot of cases. overall decent guide, but very misleading when it comes to glacial

I feel like I should write an essay on this, but there's no point, since you covered most of the stuff that's important, BUT, as you said at 27:16 you couldn't clear m3 at all, which was honestly expected. I personally wouldn't recommend mm mage before an edrag or a gdrag, and honestly, a good lcm set. Most boss mobs in mm have a RIDICOULUS amount of magic resistance, therefore rendering rcm weapons useless. (Also, let's not forget that it's archer's job to kill minis in mm clear 👀) For F7, spirit sceptre would be enough since boss dps is USUALLY archer carried (Goldor 2 tap go brrrrrrr), but if you really want to, using a midas staff for clear IS an option but you shouldn't. There's no point in spending 300m on a mediocre weapon that can't hit mobs most of the time, the 300m can be used elsewhere, probably for a felthorn reaper or a GS and an lcm set that you can use for minis or boss. Also a funny thing people don't realize is that spirit sceptre is just better at clear than hype for non mm floors, so keep that in mind aswell, hopefully party finder figures that one out...

A very nice item to use with SS and GS is the Implosion Belt. With the 25% damage boost on the GS, it might be able to boost its damage over that of the yeti sword

@Rubyllim

5 ай бұрын

A 25% damage boost isn't enough to take it from 800k to 7 mil, even with the double hit tech, it only applies to half of the theoretical 1.6m damage And then the spirit sceptre's entire kit is already based on explosions, is already more reliable, plus if ur going to have an lcm weapon on the side, you won't need the impractically theoretically higher damage, so why bother with the glacial scythe at all if you're going to want the weapon that clears better?

glacial scythe damage should be doubled, just aim at the feet and it will count as pierce and aoe

modernsoldier >>> every skyblock guide fr

Yeti sword does more damage based on how accurately you hit your enemy. Also, what works for me as I’m saving for a Hyperion (about 300m away if you include the price of my current weapons) is clearing with a spirit sceptre and killing bosses/mini bosses with my Midas staff.

I think the yeti sword deals less damage the farther away you are from enemies, though i havent tested it too much.

i used spirit spectre, then glacial scythe, then glacial schythe and yeti sword, then midas staff and spirit spechtre (glacial schythe does double damage and area damage if you aim at the toes)

Yeti sword does more damage based on where the enemy is inside of the chunk middle does most 2nd layer does less and 3rd layer does even less

if u hit the feet on the sythe it hit twice 1 for first hit and 1 for explotion

for the spirit septure and glacial scythe they both pair well with guntlet of contagion

I agree that the yeti sword is worse nowdays but im still fan of it, cause when i was starting playing dugeons there was no such thing as 100mil midas staff it was almost unobtainable and i used it in combo with spirit sceptre so i can kill mini bosses quickly and clear quickly.

yeti sword is very wierd. as a yeti sword main, it can be very confusing. however, it is fine if knowing the mechanics. it only does damage when it hits the floor, and also can’t hit midair enemies, so sadly i rely on archer when necron is in the air.

Another thing is dungeons isn't the only aspect of Skyblock, there are also Slayers, Crimson Isle, fishing and general mob grinding.

not only does it do double damage at feet (which people have already said) but it also can pierce really well and takes no mana like at all.

you'll need practise for yeti sword and you have to know how does it works. your chunk will land on the block you aim therefore you cannot see yeti as bugde hype as its not insant explosion its smashing the ground so when golder and necron you'll need to aim at where the block block they are at to get max damage which takes a bit to learn.

Ok so some important things Yeti sword deals more damage when ever u are closer to the enemy Glacial scythe It haves like 25% more dps then spirit scepter but You will need to aim for legs and It haves some benefits like it costs rly low amount of mana and the slowwness is rly helpful with mini bosses And don't use midas staff for clearing It's made for killing bosses/mini bosses And spirit scepter for a lot of players will be just too weak for clearing f7 but it's still rly good weapon And he was skill issuing a lot with close all of the weapons Only weapon he was not skill issuing was with spirit scepter

@ModernSoldier

8 ай бұрын

In regards to me 'skill issuing with a lot of the weapons', this reinforces a lot of my points. If there's a supposed learning curve (like you're implying by aiming at the feet), this makes the Glacial Scythe a much trickier weapon to use, so not only is it 3x more expensive, but it's also harder to use and basically the same in effectiveness? If this is the case, you're not really getting much of an upgrade here, but rather a more inconvenienced time in Dungeons. What I know for certain is the Spirit Sceptre being so easy to use makes it MUCH more appealing as you don't have to try as hard, and the fact that its damage is basically on par with that of the Glacial Scythe makes it so there's no reason to upgrade at all. You're going to kill minibosses at almost the same speeds (maybe within a 1-3 second difference), your clearing will be the same and your boss damage will be unaffected since a full party will still output high enough dps numbers. Midas Staff for only boss damage is CRAZY. If you're going to buy a weapons SPECIFICALLY for boss damage, you're better off with a Shadow Fury/Felthorn Reaper for LCM damage as they are 40M/80M and are significantly stronger boss killers. 300M for a Spoon is totally outrageous and not worth it at all. Yeti sword being stronger the closer you are to a mob is also really bad, because what if you can't get close? What if the situation is Goldor's Tunnel where you have to keep your distance? Are you just going to run into him and get obliterated by Frenzy? All in all you raise some valid points, but it doesn't really change the fact that the Spirit Sceptre remains consistent, reliable and easy to use. The other weapons just have too many downsides and raise too many complications when using them for F7

The spoon might be to good in dungeons but is pretty good out side of it. The damage is really good and is pretty easy to clear mobs with it.

Dude the voodoo doll is one of the best boss damage weapons… it might not be a primary weapon, but it is an amazing side weapon.

#makeyetiandgoldspoonhavebiggerAOE,oratleastbeabletodamagefloatingwithers. Then you wouldn’t have to go (at least damaging the bosswise) from scepter to hype. Yeti and spoon might be goog for clearing though, and didn’t they patch the carpet bug? Same with the walls right? Idea for spoon; instead of a rectangular wave, make a circular amount of gold around you (so like a hype) go up in the air, and the fall back down. Anything it hits both ways takes damage. With yeti sword just make it able to hit enemies when falling down, not just on impact. Spoon basically becomes better yeti that centers around you instead of where your cursor is.

Fuck it, time to buy them all the glacial scythe has double the dps if you target the mob's legs, since the projectile and the explosion from hitting the ground both deal damage to the same mob. also the yeti sword deals more damage if it hits in the middle of the chunk. also, midas spoon for f6 terracottas is just.. heaven. im working towards a golden drag rn, so i can get even more dps. rn im using 3/4 YELLOW storm with 1/2 perfect saphires, cata 28, chimera 1 midas with minos relic sheep. rn i can do 23-40m damage in clearing, wich will be like 80-90m with a 1b bank gdrag. i know the chimera was a waste but i was curious and i like wasting money on a soulbound spoon. so yes, embrace the spoon, embrace getting hated by archers, come to the yellow side. pairing it with a fire veil + a fire fury , you can melt bosses easily. also soul eater 5 spirit sceptre, its fun, trust me.

We need a video on the lcm potential of the Felthorn reaper then

I'm going to make another one of these but for berserker and berserker weapons, and in it I will likely have a small segment on LCM damages since they're somewhat relevant to that. Not sure when I'll get around to it, but we'll see

@@ModernSoldier Also, can't you use the midas staff with the spirit scepter and yeti sword and get insane clearing? Another note: They killed AOTD mage :(

If u hit legs with glacial scythe it does 2x dmg... 1.6m! (nearly 1.5x scepter) and the hard to hit factor dies since the explosion is big enough (I think 1 block less than scepter).

Scepter is a 6 block radius, glacial scythe is 3, glacial scythe is shit, your clearing a 3x3 area opposed to a 6x6 one

Frozen and Glacial Scythe also go through enemies if you line it up right and Glacial Scythe explodes if you hit the ground and wall

That doesn't make them bad either and from my use of all but yeti sword It comes down to what the player likes and how well they use it and with the right equipment both SS and Glacial Scythe better@@mqvio_173

hey I was wondering how you make your armor invisible

Glacial scythe also can be fragged and increase stats

Anyone know the best method for beating Thorn before we do this....? Because he pretty blocks the usage of the Spirit Scepter....

23:15 Man really just called LCM beam weak... This thing is pretty strong, you only need 100 bil of setup though hehe

The Spirit Sceptre is quite literally the best RCM clearing weapon even used by end game players speedrunning dungeons. It is just the best weapon for its value even outclassing the wither blades.

This is an opinion, not a fact that a lot of high level players have. I personally prefer the necron blades for clearing because I like the teleporting aspect, but I can agree that the spirit sceptre is basically on par with this. Either way, it just goes to show that if even high level players are preferring the spirit sceptre, it's likely that it's going to be better than all of the weapons in this video for clearing specifically

Will the midas staff be worth it if the bugs with it where fixed

I went from spirit sceptre to midas staff, I just solo f6 so it helps quite a lot.

Except you're probably going to be stuck at f6/f7 and seeing very little or no action past that. A Spirit Sceptre would've also kept you stuck on these floors until you get stronger upgrades

A couple things with the glacial scythe, if you can afford it, buy it instead of a spirit scepter, for one, the spirit scepter has a much higher mana requirement, unlike the glacial scythe, plus the glacial scythe can hit twice easily, finnaly take into account that the midas and yeti sword have a cooldown, and the glacial scythe shoots faster and slows. All in all glacial scythe>spirit scepter my opinion

@ModernSoldier

Couldn't disagree less. If you're having mana problems with a Spirit Sceptre then you're not optimising your mana efficiently enough (I have a whole separate video on this that covers it in extreme detail). The Glacial Scythe has a much trickier learning curve since it REQUIRES you to aim at the floor in order to double hit the mobs, which the Spirit Sceptre does not have. Both of them quite literally perform the same in the clear, but the SS is easier to use, and the same applies to minibosses and boss damage. In a full 5 man team you're not going to notice any major dps changes between the two weapons so you're quite literally forking out 50m coins for a slightly worse time in the clear and same miniboss/boss performance.

@@ModernSoldier Back in the day I used to main spirit sceptre and he is 100% right. On a lower cata profile, you will run out of mana constantly with a spirit sceptre and it is necessary to use a glacial scythe or even normal frozen scythe with if when u get low on mana

@@ModernSoldier you did testout the weapons on a cata 43 profile with 3/4s storm and wither goggles, while players just getting the scythe or scepter would be using wise dragon or something. A good example is a friend of mine who uses glacial scythe. There cats 24 and use 3/4s wise dragon and wither goggles, and they didn't use spirit scepter because of the mana cost. I sometimes use spirit scepter, but I have storm and other stuff, and am cata 32. So some of ur stuff is right while others are wrong tbh.

Last thing, it would honestly be better just to get both if you have the money, because both have varying uses, because spirit scepter is overall better for clear but glacial scythe is better for minibusses and other stuff.

14:00 its not coz the shot is slimmer is coz bats follow your cursor, and glacial does an explosion on impact with ground so u didnt get full potential

Hype is crazy good it does less 1 hit than Midas staff by abt 50% however you can attack with hype 6 times a second and Midas staff 1 time a second

whenever i use spirit sceptre i just teleport back and forth while shooting the mini boss

u can actually frag yeti sword with winter fragments

Just buy Weapons in this order: 1. Bonzo Staff 2. Spirit Sceptre 3. Glacial Scythe 4. Midas Staff 5. Hyperion

Thing guy is goated…whens The new giveaway?

Also glacial scythe does WAY more dmg with gauntlet of contagion and implosion belt

the yeti sword damage depends on if you aim good or not

Why is the Yeti Sword and the Midas Staff worth 65m and 300m respectively if the suck. One work: Sadan. They excels in Sadan fight because their mage beam is good enough and it clears really well in the Sadan Terracotta Warriors and Giants. Even works with Sadan himself if you don't deal kb damage

Never underestimate the voodoo doll in early to mid game dungeon, they mainly slow the target and deals a decent amount of damage.

Also clear SA or Frozen Adventurer

You were very unfair to glacial scythe here, the whole power of the item comes from the double damage, the projectile does damage once, then explodes on the ground/wall to do damage twice, so you have to aim at the mini bosses feet. Through all my personal testing, it has higher dps than spirit scepter with less strain on your mana, but probably is slightly worse at clearing. I personally used the scepter for clearing and scythe for bosses for a long time. The slow on scythe is incredibly useful for early players as well, lets you kite out shadow assassins

The spirit sceptre is 25 - 35 Mil currently btw

You forgot that you have to AIM at feet with the scythe so IT does Double the damage

Does yeti sword is very good melee weapon or no

I don't think that people are unhappy with your video due to your methods or choice of armor/weapons to compare but that [1] you chose a floor that had near to no on ground bosses (which severely disadvantages certain mage weapons) [2] did not give an accurate representation of the weapons and ALL the abilities and damaging options [3] you didn't say anything about preference and only that the spirit sceptre was good because it was easy to use and did enough dmg as a catacombs 43 player. In my opinion i do think spirit sceptre is best for the price but I'm upset that you didn't give the due credit to the other weapons and only picked a scenario that benefitted the spirit sceptre and didn't even try to use the weapons as intended or the best way possible
