Great advice! Only going run rare and corrupted maps for the atlas point then down to magic.

Just curious, what is your ideal atlas for playing HC SSF at league start? I assume it's either essences or expedition (or both), but which do you rush first? And how do you decide when to take map drop / kirac related nodes vs go for more essences / expedition nodes?

if it's not HC it's always alch + go for me but definitely for HC

Great video, a caveat you should have added at the beginning though should be: Stop running your maps rare (unless you are EA)

great point, and now when you do a map is gonna be a league mecanic node so you can farm currency little by little, so you could assure the upgrades on the character.

I alch the maps that require it to get the bonus points on the atlas. Or if I have them to spare, which I usually do.

ive started running blue maps first 2-3 days like a year ago, best strat so far

Big thank you, I fell into that trap.

NOWAE

have no idea what hes saying

Enorme paire Mr Carn

i just start running rare map once i get to yellow tier

carn is lily trans?

Another good reason not to alch your maps is, you won't have mana to kill stuff lol

Huh I always run anything above yellow rare even if I already got completion neat

HC take, try getting good maybe

good video thx mr melee man!

what is this take lmao
might as well just say "do content your character is able to reasonably do" and end the video there

For sc the choice is simple. Atlas points > less deaths.

On SSF I usually run every map exactly once. First I run every available white map once as magic before starting with yellow maps as rare and then switch right to corrupted red maps. After I'm done with Atlas map completion I switch back to alch and go. Usually doing magic white maps gives you enough power to survive rare yellow maps, same for corrupted red maps. I assume the situation is slightly different if you don't do most lower tier maps first and skip them to get faster to the bosses.

eh, I honestly run every map after my 5. rare, first 4 are blue, but then always rares, case when I do them blue, I just run out of higher tiers immediately, if I would be constantly doing T1s and T2s, allright, but higher tiers and I would ran out of them, dunno if I am unlucky compared to others, but that is unfortunate reality for me, I tried it, long time ago, so maybe it changed since then, but well, I am skeptical tbh

Specifically white maps.
Once you hit yellow maps you SHOULD run them rare to get the atlas points, just dont waste your alchs on white tier maps.

This is good advice! NO WAE!

I've send this to my friend that always says I HAVE TO rare my maps, and that's funny because I also thought it's worth it, it was just to hard and not fun at all.
Now I know I had nice idea, thanks!

Follow this advice, especially if you're using one of Quinn's builds 😂

Your biggest mistake was to trust Riker.

If ur poor and ur build is shit, yes dont run rare maps...

Thank you, I always do opposite. Alc + vaal -> die @ t14+ This time I'll do it right way!

I only do the mininum to get my map bonuses. Most of the money comes from atlas investment anyway.

I do bare minimum for completions. Once im to red maps i may start to alc/corrupt for completion first, then ill still upgrade them if my atlas strategy and the map make sense, and also only if i know i can survive it.

Save those alcs tho. They arent as plentiful early on. Feels bad to have to exchange a div or lots of chaos to get some alcs for completion still

Feel maybe i get lucky my builds but wtf is he on about, if your dying in rare maps pre t16 wtf is happening.

It is a very good advice, but there are nuances about it.

I personaly run every map rare if I can. Either because I dropped them rare (which was mentioned) or I just have a bunch of spare alchs.
Low tier maps are not that dificulty even if they are rare because the mods are also lower tier. Running them rare when I have alchies to spare improved my league start quite a bit and also my atlas progression because rare maps just drop more maps period.

Outside of that specific, Carn is 200% right when it comes to pleople trying to run league mechanics on rare maps. Unless your build is already well put togheter, running them rare will lose you a lot of time in league start. A lot of League specific mobs have mods, spells and attacks that regular map mobs don't have and can kill you if you give them 1 or 2 extra map mods.

At league start I even run some low level logbooks magic instead of rare because of how rippy they can become.
It if just more efficient not dying all the time, specially when you actually need levels to complete your build as fast as possible.

Man my friends for making fun of me for making this, I have done that for couple leagues. I level faster because I die less, spends less currency and still dropped a headhunter haha. I run full breach blue maps and level to 95 reeeaaal fast.
