Keywords

💡Solo Leveling

Solo Leveling refers to a popular web novel and later adapted into a webtoon, which is a story about a weak hunter who becomes the strongest after acquiring a unique system. In the context of the video, it seems to be the theme of the video content, possibly discussing character levels or gameplay mechanics related to the story's universe.

💡Retest

A retest is a repeated test or evaluation to verify or validate previous results. In the video, the speaker mentions a 'retest' indicating that they are conducting additional tests on a game element, possibly to confirm or adjust initial findings, which is a common practice in gaming to ensure balance and fairness.

💡Stats

Stats in gaming refer to the status attributes of a character, such as strength, intelligence, agility, etc. The speaker mentions switching from 'intelligence' to 'strength' stats, which implies that they are adjusting character attributes to test their impact on gameplay, specifically on the performance of a weapon in the game.

💡Westwind

Westwind appears to be a weapon in the game being discussed. The speaker is frustrated because this weapon, despite being an SR (Super Rare) rank, seems to outperform other higher-ranked SSR (Super Super Rare) weapons, which is unexpected and potentially unbalanced in the game's meta.

💡Zeke's

Zeke's likely refers to another weapon or item in the game, possibly an SSR weapon. The speaker compares it to Westwind, indicating that Westwind is outperforming Zeke's in terms of damage output, which is a point of contention as it challenges the expected hierarchy of weapon power in the game.

💡Blessing Stones

Blessing Stones are mentioned as part of the game's mechanics, possibly items that enhance or modify a character's attributes or abilities. The speaker assures that these stones, along with other artifacts, remain unchanged for the retest, indicating that they are controlling variables to isolate the impact of the stat changes on weapon performance.

💡DPS

DPS stands for Damage Per Second and is a common metric in gaming to measure the output capability of a character or weapon. The speaker discusses the Westwind weapon's DPS, suggesting it is unusually high for an SR weapon, which is a significant point of discussion as it affects the game's balance.

💡Nerf

A nerf in gaming refers to reducing the power or effectiveness of a character, weapon, or ability. The speaker discusses concerns about Westwind being nerfed, meaning its power could be reduced by the developers to balance the game, which is a common practice but often controversial among players.

💡Buff

Buff is the opposite of nerf; it refers to enhancing or increasing the power or effectiveness of a character, weapon, or ability. The speaker suggests that instead of nerfing Westwind, the developers should buff other SSR weapons to bring them on par with Westwind's performance, indicating a desire for game balance and fairness.

💡Pay-to-Win

Pay-to-Win refers to a game design where players can gain significant advantages by spending real money, often purchasing powerful items or characters. The speaker mentions 'pay-to-win' players, indicating a concern that the current dominance of the free-to-obtain Westwind weapon might be undermining the value of items that players have paid for, which is a common criticism in freemium games.

Transcripts

what's going on ladies and gentlemen

welcome back to another solo leveling

arise video all right guys we

unfortunately have to do another goddamn

retest ah I'm so frustrated with this so

the reason why the retest has to happen

guys and this is thank you for everybody

who noticed this I had switched my um my

stats to intelligence when I did the

Westwind testing yeah all intelligence

zero strength and everything else that I

did testing on was all strength

so here's round one with all strength

all right we're at 10281

uh 325 yeah yeah so this retesting is

gonna happen I'm gonna give you guys

five five more battles here okay so I'm

going to show you guys what we did so

everything else Remains the Same just so

everyone's aware let me just put the

volume back on sorry that's one thing

I'm going to have to do I put it down

for the the live stream but here's what

we're going to do I'm going to show you

guys the the stats so again it was

unfortunately done with with

intelligence it's all strength now

everything else Remains the Same in

regards to the um the blessing Stones

the artifacts are still the same nothing

will change there I'll run the same way

here's the stats 50%

19.25 uh Precision Etc all all the same

nothing will change here in regards to

the damage and stats okay the difference

of course is now it's all strength

versus all intelligence you guys saw the

first

number yeah it looks like it's safe to

say that in fact West Wind will for sure

be the strongest weapon in the game by

far yeah even beating out zekes

now I know that upsets a a lot of people

it does and right rightfully so there

should be zero reason that a weapon that

is an Sr uh that you can get for free is

out sorry is out damaging anything that

is an SSR there should be zero reason

for that to happen and I'm sorry but uh

I know free to playay players love that

I mean I do cuz hell that's my

favorite weapon in the game I use it all

the time uh but there's there should be

no reason for it there should be zero

reason for this weapon to be dominating

as much as it is so I'm going to give

you guys another run here real quick so

you guys can kind of see how it looks

and what we're dealing with um now again

the run is going to be very much

determined by couple things number one

uh how the boss moves right all all the

all the skills that it does if it's

going to go across the field or not I'll

be honest with you the first run it

wasn't a very good one it was actually a

pretty mediocre run because the boss was

all over the screen and moving

everywhere and it was hard to keep up

with the boss this run might even be

better who knows we might even get more

than 108 million now Zeke's a highest we

did with zekes was if I recall uh 87 or

89 or 90 or something like that I'll go

back to the to the spreadsheet and take

a look but this right here this is a

kind of move that kind of messes things

up right so this is an example of a move

that I wish wasn't happening as often as

it does but here we're going to we're

going to continue going here and we're

going to see what we can bust out in

terms of damage all right so let's let's

pull off some more

here I didn't even Dash that time too so

that was that was a little bit of a lack

of crit there on that one that would

have been even higher damage if I did it

properly here we go we got

two now I know I know some of this is

obviously this damage just coming from

oh see that's that right there issue

that lost five this is what I'm talking

about right these are the kind of

Maneuvers that mess up the entire run so

the numbers could look even better

obviously but we have to take into

account this is how you're going to play

the game like not everything's going to

be perfect for you lined up where the

boss doesn't move so we got to we got to

take the numbers as they come this

there's no crit

there still not bad 50 million already

and we're we're only with a minute

something left right so we got some time

left here let's go in again I do another

we'll charge this one up there we go 5

million we got to restart secret bullet

though that's kind of the

problem oh that one didn't that's

okay that one that was that was going to

be a non non- cool down one anyway so 61

million

already and this is again this is

considered I would consider this also a

fairly bad run like the last run was way

better we had way better crits more

damage uh with 108

million let's see what we get off here

by the time this is done we're still

going to do fairly good damage wise but

it just won't be as high as the last one

I think

oh 77 all right we already beating up

the Scythe for the most

part yeah it's kind of it's kind of

crazy right to to think that an Sr

weapon is in fact dominating pretty much

every SSR weapon in the

game a pretty big margin too um so for

those who are wondering if if uh if it's

worth building a West Wind I'm going to

be honest with you guys and I've been

saying this for a while now now that the

west wind is the best weapon in the game

I have I'm saying this since day one as

a matter of fact and the fact that it's

still even worthwhile building 103 there

so I mean 20 about 20 million more than

Zeke's fragment it's a lot of damage

guys a lot of damage so the thing the

thing at the end of the day with this

weapon is they promise not to Nerf a lot

of people are afraid that I was going to

show this and they're afraid that

they're that we that we might get a

Westwind Nerf the the promise from the

devs was there will never be nerfing

will only be buffing so this is actually

a very very good test and this needs to

happen because I think by showing how an

Sr weapon is dominating the charts it

will allow the devs to look further into

buffing the SSR weapons even more and

they need to do that there's no reason

for anybody to use this any other weapon

in this game besides Westwind literally

if you want to dominate just Westwind

that that is enough and this is actually

the only weapon in in in SLA history

right now that they've ever nerfed they

literally if you guys don't recall in

when when it went global they reduce

this damage by 30% this is the only only

weapon in the game that's ever gotten a

Nerf that's got to say something about

the weapon now again they're promising

not to Nerf anymore so what I'm hoping

this video allows them to do is take a

look at some of these numbers and just

be like oh okay so not we can't Nerf we

we promise we won't we got to buff

everything else like they really need to

buff everything else now I'm not saying

that things should be as equivalent to

Westwind like in terms of SSR weapons

not everything is considered a DPS

weapon but your DPS weapon should by all

means be able to compete with an Sr

weapon there's again people are paying

for these weapons like there should be

zero reason why an Sr weapon is

dominating the charts in every possible

manner like this is wild guys this this

is unprecedented in any game to have an

Sr weapon just be the best weapon in the

game it's it's unreal you play any gacha

game and I'm telling you now 99% of the

time the SR weapons are are discarded as

soon as the next Sr weapon comes out or

you know that same similar rank kind of

scenario

so it's very very concerning for a lot

of pay to win players and again I think

rightfully so I think this is a this is

something that definitely needs to be

Revisited by the devs and considered

again uh as something that needs a fix

look this we're at 70 million already

guys and we have a minute of 13 left

this is wild numbers right so um again

I'm not doing this for them to Nerf

Westwind I think people are seeing this

the wrong way I'm doing this for them to

buff SSR weapons it's it's this is this

is now like a travesty to everything

else that people paid for and I would be

I personally as a spender am a little

offended as well too like it's great for

my my free-to-play account but you know

what you got to you got to consider that

other weapons need this level of Love or

more

like Westwind is one of those things

that were discovered fairly early on as

one of the best weapons in the game I

think they knew what they were doing

with it uh but I don't think they

understood how people would would use it

properly right and now that it's like I

would say the most used weapon in the

game besides the plum sword um they have

to kind of consider

that most people are going to just use

this as their number one go-to weapon

going forward like why use anything else

right why pay for something when you can

get something for free and better now I

know a lot of you guys don't have a a10s

or a5s or whatever the case may be but

it's way easier to get an A5 West wi for

the most part in comparison to other

weapons in the game there and look at

this we're at 112 guys this is insanity

man Insanity look at this 120 million

that's 40 million more than Zeke's

fragment

40 million

more unreal unreal damage I just I

needed to show you guys this it's it's

compared like now that I put the proper

stats in place night and day difference

night and day difference so devs this is

not for you to Nerf Westwind this is for

you to increase the damage of all your

other SSR weapons it needs to happen

those little Buffs that you guys have

been doing every single patch should be

the bare minimum uh actually not even

the bare minimum that that shouldn't

even be the minimum the minimum should

be hey let's let's let's number crunch

do some testing where do we fall flat on

some of these DPS SSR weapons test it to

the Westwind everything should be

increased for SSR there should be only

I'd say Westman should be like fifth or

sixth place in the DPS charts not first

place it's crazy to even say that all

right guys this is pay let me know what

you think in the comment section I'll

see you guys in the next one
