Transcripts

hello guys welcome back now in today's

video I wanted to talk about CDs a

little more going to be a quicker video

going to talk about everything important

about CDs which sets are for which agent

how to progress this get to level 40 get

to the max level uh some tips and tricks

here and there some materials where to

find them cuz some of some materials are

really really rare and some like

suggestion and tips that I would like to

say to you okay now first of all you

really need to progress your trust with

the with the agent with your affinity

and uh friendship with the agent why

because the proxy primer is going to

give you some really really really good

materials from clearing trial level

eight and trial level 9 the trial level

eight is going to actually give you a

almost full set of wood pcker Electro

and trial number nine is going to give

you actually high-fi Master Copy this

item is what you need to go to the then

bck needle and craft an ecd that you

might want if you have enough of these

now as you can see here the only way for

you to get in these is to

dismantle uh unwanted CD or get him from

the battle pass the the mo the easiest

and the most brain dead way otherwise

there are some other ways of getting

them for example the trial in this case

and maybe some events in the future so

keep that in mind it's not just these

two now with these ones what we need to

do to get to trial 8 and nine is to uh

get the character s to level four it's

going to ask you on trial eight to do

one character to level four now if you

want to finish number nine and finish

this and get XP that is going to help

you to get to 40 as well uh now you need

to raise three agents to level four I am

basically done I just need to hook up

with uh 11 at midnight and I will have

this done but that said and I need to

also do the the level 40 upgrade that

said this is going to take a long a long

time if you don't do it and then now you

start doing it it's going to take you

like a week maybe maybe not maybe like

four or five days but now we know that

this is kind of important because it's

going to give you some good materials

then in the Scot Outpost outside of this

Camp here when you start shoeld defense

or Holo zero you can go here and talk to

Casper and in the sh defense shop which

is the one that is giving you uh

investigation merits you can get them

from Shield defense and notorious hunt

which is the weekly but you can only do

the weekly three times a week so it's

not super uh big income Shield defense

is probably going to be more especially

if you are doing if you're clearing it

and you are doing the critical node now

in this shop there are a lot of good

materials uh I suggest you get this one

as soon as possible before the reset

that is going to happen in 17 days you

cannot see it because it's behind me but

it says refresh 17 days now this is

patch wide looks like so you have a long

time to do it but I suggest you first

Buy the important materials and then you

if you have leftovers then you buy maybe

the Bon and other other other materials

in my opinion the most important uh item

here is the tuning calibrator this is

basically a mold resin uh that we have

in the honka SEL that we can use to uh

determine and to to force one main stat

on our CD whatever CD we are making and

combining that one with the focus

calibration which let us choose one of

out of six numbers this is going to

become extremely powerful item that will

just almost make a perfect CD with the

at least get rid of two layers of RNG

correct number and correct correct stat

now the sub stats are still RNG but you

know this is going to to at least give

you the main stat then after that one I

I feel like we should buy the highi

Master Copy it's only 20 you're going to

need 240 to buy them all then maybe

it's kind of debatable either by The

Ether ether plating agent or the Bon at

that point right but these purple one

are always good so buying this one is

probably also a good idea the Bon you

have bons everywhere and from all from

many events you will get bons so getting

it here before the rest is kind of a

kind of a dumb decision in my opinion

now uh when it comes to the Bic needle

we go there we quickly teleport and as I

said when you get to level 40 you will

get a message from Elfie you talk to her

you do her story her Mission it's like

instant she's like here you click to you

click her and then you go to Bic needle

to inside the music store it's going to

give you a quick tutorial that tells you

to click to select one uh set that you

want to focus on getting and then now

you have you're presented with this okay

now we have access to Advanced tuning

are there other levels there is this is

the max level in the close beta we had

uh different levels but this one wasn't

level three it was on level four

basically level three didn't do much now

uh as you can see here now we have

access to we can focus craft a specific

partition and if we want on those that

can change the main stat for example

five four five and six cuz one two three

are determined they can only roll death

this uh two can only roll attack one can

only only roll HP the others though they

can roll all of these six can roll all

of these five can roll all of these five

is the craziest one and four is this one

now technically on paper you should be

using this one very rarely only when

you're like desperate and you have

everything done you just need one uh

particular CD you can get it there's no

way you spend so much stamina now you're

kind of you're kind of pissed off and

say you know what I'm going to use this

this is going to basically be uh your

your jolly your your final weapon but

they are extremely rare the only way to

get them is from Shield defense or the

battle pass and the battle pass is going

to be F three the battle pass is going

to give you one for free free to play

but it's going to be at level 45 it's

not going not going to get anytime soon

this might also be the reward of certain

events that we might get in the future

but it's going to be very scars so do

not use it uh without think thinking

about it that said uh this is going to

use the gold CDs how you get the gold

CDs by destroying gold CDs and we

already saw other other ways right so if

you click the CDs and you destroy them

it's going to give you by destroying one

is going to give you back one if you

destroy two you're going to give you

back two now there is a little trick

that you can do to uh convert your

previous tuning materials that you don't

use anymore because you at level 40 we

are basically slowly transitioning into

gold complete gold so we don't need them

anymore we might still need the purple

here and there because you're not going

to want to use these at all and you're

going to be farming uh the the CDs

encounters they're going to give you a

level 40 they're not super efficient yet

so they're you're they're going to give

you uh one guarantee that maybe if

you're lucky to that is it until 45 at

45 I think it's going to give you two

guaranteed or at least the Chan is

higher now

there is a way to convert these these

materials into purple and basically the

way it is is look at it here times until

guaranteed a rank Drive disc for random

partition five so if you do five you

have a higher chance to get a purple one

this might also tell you tuning rules

the base drop rate for a rank is 11% and

the overall drop rate including

guaranteed is 25 so what we're going to

do is try to get a purple there you go

we got a puffer Electro it's basically

like converting a blue one into a purple

now there's multiple step and the the ra

the ratio is dog but you are going

to waste them anyway so now that we have

those we can go ahead and Destroy them

and you can also destroy the others that

you randomly get from like events or

encounters if you don't need them right

and then we also go here and destroy the

one that we just got unless it's crazy

it's not crazy so this this is going to

give us one back so we used uh a bunch

of Blues and we got one purple back

technically is a is a conversion but

it's basically not but at least you can

get something back you also will get a

little bit of XP materials for the

future CDs if you have to too many you

don't have anything to do with them like

I don't like them let me destroy them

you can get some back so we dismantle it

now if you are dismantling something

that it's leveled up it would also give

you back some money now if it's level 12

it's going to give you a lot because the

the the XP that needed between three and

12 gets it's very very high uh

discrepancy between three and 12 it's

going to go from like one purple to 10

purples uh of these going to be like

from 1 to 10 immediately so the fact

that it's giving you back 10 it's

actually pretty good uh recoup of

material so let's say we don't like that

one we will be getting 30k back bunch of

materials four CDs and 10 of ether

plating which as you can see is very

rare the only way to do to get this one

is to do the routine cleanup which is

the CD encounter or uh do the basic

upgrade material when you go to your

custom combat and you select the monster

that Dro this material convenience store

which is like the three bang boost that

Weekly they're going to give you x

amount of materials and the dismantling

now speaking of the bang Boos now that

we are level 40 we should be able to get

to uh this Zone here uh the Zone the

this this part of the shop now we have

access to the a rank materials this is

going to be really good because these

materials are very rare but they're not

rare but getting these materials is

basically a lot of stamina consumption

and now we're getting them for free for

example we can get this ether plating

agent it's going to cost half a million

but it's going to give you 30 30 is a

lot so if you with with time with time

if you would like to buy some of these

materials that you might need you should

do that because this is very very good

when it comes to like sets which

sets are good for which characters we

can go to the bodying needle and access

the database and go check all the sets

that are here that are available now

these are the sets that I own not these

are all the sets that are in the game

some locked because I never dropped them

we don't have many sets in the future we

might have more sets obviously but it is

important to know that these are the

sets that are that we are here and what

they're for they're really

straightforward they're not going to

there's no way you're going to mess up

too much so I think that is pretty that

is pretty straightforward enough to uh

to understand so that said that is it
