 so please be aware guys that this is a really early build of the game and what you will witness may not reflect the full game on release so guys i am back with another first descendant of video and today guys i'm going to run you through character builds leveling up progression how it works this that and the other how's it going guys my name is dpj and if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to be sure to subscribe okay so with the beta releasing under 25 october which is not too far away whatsoever listen you can expect a lot of things to do in the beta i mean there's a lot to do here in regards to building your character leveling it up progression this and the other so hopefully today guys i can help you out and explain to you what you can do how things work and well just just the basics really okay so when you start the beta you'll have 10 characters to use well nine and the ultimate version of another lepic now i'm pretty sure i'm releasing the game next year there will be more than 10 characters or more than nine characters i do believe there will also be ultimate versions of other characters or maybe even all of them not confirmed yet just i think that's just a just i think it's just a rumor at the minute i'm not certain but either way these characters within the beta they are that a variety of different play styles i mean here we have jabo who is a basically a medic we have bonnie who's literally rush in your face amazing like the flash we have the character i like best now which is vsa which is weird because i actually started the game as a level one and i leveled up to about a level 25 26 and i was kind of getting bored i don't know what it was but then i just i tried out every character because i was giving a boost to the count and i tried out every character at max level for the beta and although i enjoyed some of them i found myself back with vsa she's the girl who's got all the the frost and threes things pretty cool so yeah i'm back with her either way she's probably my favorite character besides bonnie and i'll probably go with vsa when a game releases unless there's somebody else who's just amazing oh yeah so okay so you'll start the beta you'll pick a character but then guys you'll have to level up your play and you'll level up your end tons of xp just doing the missions that you'll be put forth towards she is basically just a one-way route then you unlock all the maps available these four well three albin is the social space so one two three and these you can go on to do all the missions in order you can see the hours point to each one and you'll earn a ton of xp when you earn xp guys you'll level up your overall level but then you'll eventually earn enough xp to level up a mastery rank which is done over here so you'll come back to albin which is a social space of the game which is this pretty area you come here and you'll level up your mastery rank and this will give you more runes and more room capacity and this that and the other and i explained to you guys exactly what ruins do in a second so yes back to the imagery okay so in regards to your build and what you can do like said was your level up your start unlocking more things and it is a loot shooter so you'll be farming and it's like the looting scheme is like borderland style it drops so much which is good because you have a standard for the beta you have 50 in your bag so you can carry 50 items and the rest will go to what's like a postmaster it's called a mailboxing escape but you can also break down a cell set items to vendors which is pretty cool too but yes you have three weapons you have four extra slots here which help with defense half hp this one here is for your shield this one is also for health gyro for health sensor for shield coil for health and the memory for your defense and like i said you'll you'll find loads of these as you're playing you can get different varieties of each as well you know i think i'm not sure what the road is according to this game but we're just going to go with rare epic and legendary because there's a yellow variant too which i'll show you in a second with some things now with weapons there's three weapons slots but there are many many different types of weapons we have in this game we have hand guns we have hand uh cannons we have smg shotguns we have uh machine guns launchers beam rifles auto rifles or assault rifles that you call them scout rifles so there's a good variety of weapons here in the game um but yep i've gone with a assault rifle a hand can hand cannons in this game guys so absolutely brutal look at the damage to do as well compared actually i don't know what that is what is that is that that's 100 no it's 10,555 that's 11,305 what i can guarantee you guys well it's damage per second i kind of get it so that this kind of makes sense but yeah either way god this is like a sniper hand cannons in this game i definitely my favorite and this is the best one i've used so far and shotguns as well brutal at close range now as i've done about rarities we have obviously three rarities here uh rare epics and legendary but i've not unlocked any legendaries in the game whatsoever so i'm guessing they're waiting for a release on them but either way let's get this this video isn't about that it's about your build and what you can expect in the beta so you'll find your three weapons three favorite weapons and you also have runes runes are very very important to this game they're basically the foundation of your build i have runes for your descendant which is your player we also have runes for each individual type of weapon i have storm runes as you can see here on my right hand side the storm runes affect sub machine guns so it refers to the handguns torrents affect uh machine guns tacticals and beams tacticals are the pulses i don't think i mentioned that we have rave which uh rave i wish i went to a rave wave which affects hand cannons and scares we have funders which is sniper launchers and haze which is shotguns now very very important runes are they're kind of a complicated system if you don't read the tool tips when you first play the game i did luckily so i know exactly how they work so for instance when you start the game you'll have four or five slots but you'll get more slots as you level up like i said each slot you can apply rune too runes you find through the open world killing the enemies you reward them for missions planetary missions this and the other as you can see you also have a rune capacity a game mines at max at a minute which is 35 i think you start with like 15 or 20 maybe again you earn more as you level up as you can probably see guys it's quite straightforward there's a number there the number uh obviously takes away from the capacity the better the actual rune the more the number it takes away these glowing ones i'll explain to you guys in a second what they do what they mean but as you can see here there's tons of them and as you can see here there's also legendary versions no legendary weapons not yet but as you can see they all do individual things and what these do is they buff that certain weapon type tied to the rune so this one for instance unkeen electrocute enemy electrocutes enemies within a 1.5 meter radius of the target for three seconds now you all do many many many many different things and like i said your build and the way your place are always set up and what you plan to do there's a billion combinations here of what you can do and how you can work things now the glowing ones okay so these symbols here i actually applied to an empty rune slot and i'm gonna have to go down and showcase you how you do this because it's quite hard to explain after that so this vendor down here come this way he is the rune we call him the rune vendor this guy down here come his name i also get this guy's name this guy here either way you'll come to him through a natural progress cillian you'll come to him through natural progress playing the beta or sending to him so the runes here as you can see that's what they call the called rune sucky type what these do is as you can see we're on star runes i've applied three as you can see if i select this box here i can apply one of these three little symbols so if i applied this symbol to it which is an a there we go i'll just do it now and what we're doing now guys is we're back out and you'll see if i go back to that the storm you can see right there now there's a as you can see co-sponding runes with the matching symbol the capacity is caught in half as you can see right there capacity is three well i say quite enough if it's three it got down to two if it's five it got down to three but if it's ten it will go down to five well yeah as you can see this capacity here is a three it's on the right hand side but when i've got it slotted it only takes up two and if i go find another i can't actually get the space we can try out but you guys know what i mean you guys know what i mean when you apply that symbol two-sided spot matching symbol here under ruin or half the capacity i mean you can apply even more but you do need consumables you do need these right here guys which you will find or be rewarded in the open world to apply those symbols to those individual ruin slots and it goes for every single type of weapon as well i ain't using any machine gun statistical rifles or beams so i feel no need at the minute to even apply near these i'll waste any of those socket mods to apply symbols to get a discount on my ruin capacity so yeah and it's basically the same guys it's quite a straightforward system now descendant runes same in regards to the sockets and how you can apply the symbols to them it all works out the same here i've applied one right here so this slide was actually tested out with a c for another video and i applied this one as you can see here it's taken up four of my capacity but it's overall capacity it will take up a seven as you can see right there now in regards to the ruins you can apply to your character oh oh it's a completely different level to weapons as you can see here we have immunity i mean you will need immunity in this game the end game even in just a beta is brutal so i've got elemental immunity i've got elemental well poison burn ice and electrocution i've also got this right here under enemy kill 11.2 percent chance to reset skill with the longest cooldown yes you get ruins yes you get mods like that brutal we have this here running speed is a plus 5.6 damage immune when using grappling hook i mean if you're trying to get away from a raid boss use that grapple hook do you mean for about a second half it's quite good we have this here under enemy kill two percent chance to recover 10 percent of max uh mp immediately cooldown of five seconds mp's mana points by the way we also guys have a melee attack now this ruin here which you'll like to get i say you'll find open world you'll be rewarded it it's actually changes your melee attack i had a dagger for about my first 25 levels and i did find i think it was at the dual core it was a dual claw i think it could have been a kick but either way as you guys just apply these equip them use both bumpers on console uh r1 r1 on playstation and lb and rb on xbox they do like well i've got like a wolverine attack it's pretty cool but yeah it's basically that's basically ruins and how they work in this game but they are fundamental to your build and that is i think that's all you really need to know in regards to character progression i explain xp works as it does in every game i'll explain the mastery rank and what that does um ruins there's a few more things you can learn about ruins in in fact you can enhance them for instance if you've got enough materials so this one right here i've got equipped already you can see by the tick so if i select that what this does guys is if i enhance it uses qualipolfium and gold again both of these you can find in the open world just killing things this and the other apply these as you can see it gives me a better after reload first shots atk is a plus or attack is a plus 42 percent you can keep going you can keep going some ruins though uh don't actually buff in regards to make the room better what they're what they do is they they discount the capacity let me try and find you one uh you see this one here if i level it up it takes down the capacity which is also another good thing so that's cool keep that in mind as well we also guys how you can dismantle your ruins here and i think you get i have dismantled one we just dismantle another one just for this video's purpose you know i'm saying people that's what we do now i'm going to dismantle one of these i really using it so i dismantle i get these 500 qualipolfium materials again used to do other things with ruins which is cool well but i got 10 million i should get another 500 for that a bit slow but it's a better forgive it but now we can also combine ruins now this is a system i understand how it works but i don't at the same time now i think if you just select four mods or four ruins and put them in i'm just going to call these four you can combine them it takes 60 60 000 of your gold but i don't think the ruin that you end up with has anything i think it's random i really think it's random i'm not certain but i do think it's random it's going to combine for me a second hopefully my game dot three's there we go we've got wave uh focus magazine so that's a wave ruin five eight twelve percent five eight uh twelve percent five eight and rounds per minute over plus 26 percent that's pretty cool pretty cool guys and yet that was another brand new ruin which i haven't had already so that's good we also have well you know about this they apply the ruin socket apply a symbol to said uh socket and that means you can get a discount unsaid ruin in that spot if it's got the matching symbol simple as that and max ruin capacity if you want to upgrade you can you can get even more by using those energy activators which is another material which i think i've got some here let me show you them is it i'm not even sure you know there's so many of them since i've been playing i haven't actually had any of these dropped these were given to us so i've got these here this is them but i do drop i think they're probably from the red bosses but yes these are what you'll use no is that like no is that not what you use i'm not even sure it's one of these anyway it's one of these materials guys it's well it could be that one oh it's this one i'm not even sure i used the energy activator you said it didn't it what am i i'm a fucking idiot excuse me i'm tired but yeah so you can apply if you want to level up your character in regards to each ruin capacity you can it's quite uh quite a move to be honest i'm going to go up a bit further you know i might as well go up to 70 i think 70 might be max then that's cool so then i can just go then down to my descendants ruins i got i can get rid of that if i want to i can swap this for a bigger one when it uses whatever i can swap them all actually his lower level ones here these fives these fives well it's it's it's it's sitting five or four or whatever but yeah you guys know what i mean but yeah guys that's basically it i mean there's a lot to think about there's a lot to do there's a lot to play for uh and this is just the beta things will probably change in fact i'll probably guarantee they will change before the full games release but there we have it guys i think that's all you need to know really it's just a basic system leveling up your character through playing the stories killing the enemies farming bosses and an xp then you can go and spend the xp on mastery ranks which again gives you increased ruin slots ruin capacity and this and the other well yep guys there we have it and i hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave me a like really helps out if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys i will see you on that next one
