0:00There are three rules that you have to
0:01follow when progressing your genus
0:04insight. The genus insight can give you
0:05a crazy amount of power and also combat
0:08power for your character, but you can
0:10actually do quite a few mistakes when
0:12progressing those boards. And that's why
0:14I will give you first of all three rules
0:16that you should follow when you work
0:18with those genus boards. And then at the
0:20end of the video, I will give you the
0:21exact stat lines that you want to go
0:24for. And yes, they are different to what
0:26people used in Korea and Taiwan. Okay,
0:29let's start with rule number one. Don't
0:31lock any of your stats before you are at
0:34least level nine 50%. Now, you might
0:37have noticed every time you level your
0:39board, you will also change all of the
0:42stats in this board. Of course, you can
0:45lock individual stats, but you can see
0:47that the cost of rolling your stats or
0:49leveling your board is going up like
0:52crazy. If you lock five stats, we have
0:54to pay 172
0:56crystals and 43,000
0:59Keena. And if we have no lock, we only
1:01pay 36 crystals and 9,000 Keena. It
1:05becomes a very fast, very expensive. And
1:08the problem is it's easier to roll good
1:11stats as soon as you're level 10. There
1:13are a few exceptions where it would be
1:15actually good to lock certain stats
1:17before you are level 10. But for most
1:20people that don't know what they are
1:21doing, you just bring your insight to
1:23level 10 and don't lock anything before
1:26that. Rule number one, don't lock
1:28anything early. Rule number two, don't
1:31just go for heroic stats and work with
1:33presets. So, heroic stats are the orange
1:36stats and these are the best rolls that
1:39you can get. And yes, they are
1:40incredibly good, but they are super hard
1:43to get. So, what usually most people are
1:45doing, they're working with presets.
1:48What does that mean? As you can see, we
1:49have here three different presets in the
1:52top. The first thing that we are going
1:53to do is we bring all of our boards to
1:56level 10. After that, we create a first
1:59preset that is good but not perfect. And
2:03we only focus here on the offensive
2:05stats. What exactly you want to go for,
2:07we will talk about in a second. It is
2:09just important to understand that we get
2:11a lot of power from these boards, but
2:13rolling the perfect sets is incredibly
2:16hard. And especially because it becomes
2:19more and more expensive the more stats
2:22we lock. If you want to go for the
2:24perfect rolls and you include from the
2:26beginning onwards already defensive
2:28stats, you will miss out on so much
2:31power for such a long time. That's why
2:34what you should do is work with presets.
2:37So, what you do is you create a first
2:38preset, which is good, but we will not
2:41have just heroic stats. We will also
2:43have a bunch of unique, so golden set
2:46lines, which is fine. And as soon as we
2:48finished all of those five boards, we
2:51will start on a second preset and
2:53completely mix max stats. But doing this
2:56takes so much time. And here this is
2:59especially important for people that are
3:01not playing 20 hours a day and farming
3:04just nonstop pets. This does not work.
3:06You will never be able to finish your
3:09genius inside. Please don't do this.
3:11Work with presets and don't just go for
3:13heroic stats. Okay, and rule number
3:15three, there is a specific order in
3:18which we roll our stats. We will not go
3:21into the auto analysis and just lock all
3:24the stats that we want for all of the
3:27nine slots and just keep rolling.
3:30Because some stats have just a way
3:32higher priority and are also a lot
3:34easier to roll. Okay, let me explain
3:36that. First of all, it's important to
3:38understand that all of the boards are
3:40structured in a similar way. Slot one
3:43and slot five are always your attack
3:46slots. So, as you can see, you have
3:48attack bonus, max attack, critical
3:50attack, front attack, back attack, PvE
3:52attack, boss attack, and also
3:54penetration, but mainly attack. Okay,
3:57this is slot one and slot five. Then on
3:59slot three, six, and nine, you get some
4:03defensive values like block and evasion,
4:05but then a bunch of accuracy, like
4:07accuracy bonus, PvE accuracy, and
4:10critical hit. So, let's call this our
4:12accuracy and critical hit slots. Then we
4:15have slots two and slot eight, which are
4:18our pure defensive stat lines. Here we
4:21have HP increase, which is a percentage
4:23HP increase, very, very strong, defense
4:26bonus, back defense, critical hit
4:28resist, you get the idea, a lot of
4:30defensive stats. This is slot eight and
4:33slot two. Then slot seven is also a
4:35defensive stat line, but a little bit
4:36more special, but on top of it, it has
4:39also some offensive stats, like PvE
4:41attack and accuracy bonus.
4:43>> [music]
4:43>> So, here we can actually also roll some
4:46offensive stats. So, those eight slots,
4:50everything except slot four, is exactly
4:52the same in all of those five boards.
4:55The only difference in those boards is
4:57slot four. And this is also always by
5:00far the best slot. So, for example, here
5:03on our Cockney inside, we can get
5:06critical damage boost, damage boost, or
5:08PvE damage boost, which is just a
5:10percentage multiplier for our damage.
5:13Incredibly strong. Way stronger than all
5:16of the other stat lines that we have
5:18here. Way stronger. Now, this slot four
5:20is a little bit different between those
5:23five boards, [music]
5:24but the stat line is always the best.
5:26And now the order becomes important on
5:29how we want to roll stuff. We will
5:31always start with slot four, because
5:34this is actually one of the stats that
5:36doesn't need to be heroic, as mentioned,
5:38but we also don't want to have it super
5:41low. That means we have to roll it quite
5:43a few times. Now, imagine you lock seven
5:46out of the nine stats, then every roll
5:49costs you 300 crystals. And now you want
5:52to roll, for example, PvE damage boost
5:55on slot four. This will cost you a crazy
5:58amount of crystals. And when you proc
6:00it, you get it maybe on 1.6%
6:03and then it's like,
6:05"I don't know. I want to take it, but
6:07actually it's super low. Should I keep
6:09rolling?" Don't do this. You always
6:12start with slot four. Doesn't matter
6:15what you get. It literally does not
6:17matter. You can have the perfect rolls
6:19because this stat line has the value of
6:22your whole board. Now, this 3.6% roll
6:25here is of course insanely good because
6:27the maximum is 4%, but I also rerolled a
6:311.6% PvE damage boost and this already
6:34cost me quite a bit of crystals. So,
6:37please don't do the mistake and lock
6:40your stuff early and always start with
6:43slot four. Then after you want to do all
6:46the other offensive stat lines. That
6:48means all the attack and all the
6:50accuracy and you will hit that stuff
6:51very, very fast. And then as mentioned
6:54in this first preset, we don't go for
6:56defensive stats. The defensive stats are
6:59for our second preset. Okay, we
7:01understood how we should progress our
7:03genius insight. Now, you need to
7:05understand what stats to roll. Let's
7:07start with our attack lines, so that
7:09would be slot one and five. Now, a lot
7:12of people will tell you attack bonus and
7:13max attack
7:14are the two god rolls that you want to
7:17go for. This is not the case anymore.
7:19Now, both of these are still very good,
7:22but they are not best in slot anymore in
7:25our version. In our version, actually
7:27PvE attack, back attack, and also boss
7:31attack are better stats. So, I want to
7:34keep this guide relatively simple. I
7:36don't want to make it too complicated.
7:38To make it short, yes, in the Korean and
7:40Taiwanese version, attack bonus and max
7:42attack was this. But this is because
7:45they had more percentage multipliers.
7:48But in our version, they removed a lot
7:49of those percentage multipliers. Now,
7:51this is important because all of those
7:54percentage attack multipliers only
7:56impact attack bonus and max attack. But
7:59because of the removal of those
8:00percentage multipliers, back attack, PVE
8:03attack, and boss attack became actually
8:05better in our version. But these are all
8:08very, very close. That's why I would
8:10highly suggest you, especially for your
8:12first board,
8:13go for all five if you're an assassin,
8:16because then you will always hit from
8:17the back. And if you're not an assassin,
8:19you will roll for those four stats. That
8:22will make it very easy for you to hit
8:24something. And for your first preset,
8:26that should be just a starting point,
8:29that is perfect. You can min-max the
8:31next preset. But if you were to min-max,
8:34PVE attack and boss attack is better in
8:37our version. But in general, for slot
8:39one and for slot five, go for those four
8:43attack values. And then for three, six,
8:46and nine, our accuracy and crit slots, I
8:50would always value accuracy higher than
8:52crit in our version. And this is simply
8:54because in our version, they reduced the
8:56crit chance from 80 to 50%, but I'm
9:00pretty sure they haven't changed any
9:01crit resistance or anything from bosses.
9:04They have basically changed nothing in
9:06our version. They just did a one-to-one
9:08copy. That means most likely we will hit
9:11all the crit thresholds anyways. So I
9:14would always suggest you here to focus
9:16on accuracy. But if you get some god
9:18rolls on critical hit, then this is also
9:20fine. So what I personally do here, for
9:23accuracy bonus, I would go for minimum
9:25unique. For critical hit, I go for
9:28heroic, because if I lock a critical
9:30hit, I want it to be really, really
9:32good. And then on top, I go for PVE
9:35accuracy, also for unique. So, I prefer
9:39accuracy here, but if I get a god-like
9:41heroic roll, that's also totally fine.
9:43Then I will [music] take that. That
9:45would be my rolls for slot three, six,
9:48and nine. Then we have our slot seven.
9:51Now, here again, later, if we do our
9:52perfect roll, we can actually do here
9:55some PvE damage tolerance or something
9:57like this. In my first preset, I will
9:59just go full on offensive. So, what I do
10:02here is I go for accuracy bonus and
10:05critical hit, I go again to heroic. So,
10:08again, I prefer accuracy, but it would
10:10be also fine if I get a god tier
10:13critical hit roll. Okay, so, these three
10:15categories here would be the same for
10:18all of the five boards. The only one
10:20that would be different is slot four.
10:22Now, here we have specific stats for all
10:24of the five different boards, and that's
10:27why we have to quickly go through them.
10:29First of all, the Kokanee board, here
10:31the interesting ones are critical damage
10:33boost, damage boost, and [music] PvE
10:36damage boost. Now, here, PvE damage
10:38boost is always the best. If you get a
10:40high roll on that, that is exactly what
10:42you want. But I also like to roll for
10:44damage boost because, let's say, I get a
10:472.8% damage boost roll, this is very,
10:50very good and more than good enough for
10:51our first preset. So, it doesn't matter
10:54if it's not PvE damage boost because the
10:56value of those two stats is exactly the
10:58same in PvE. Of course, damage boost
11:00would be better also for PvP. That's why
11:02I would always suggest you to also roll
11:04for damage boost. Then crit damage boost
11:07can be good if you have a god roll. I'm
11:10talking about 2.8 to 3% and on top you
11:14are a class that basically crits
11:16non-stop. So, if you're, for example, a
11:18gladiator and you make your overhead
11:20slam crit non-stop and you get here a
11:232.8% crit damage boost roll, then this
11:26stat can be still insanely, insanely
11:28good. So, for this critical damage
11:30boost, it really depends on the class.
11:32Okay, then the next board that we have
11:34is the Fera board. Here on slot four, we
11:37want to have weapon damage boost, damage
11:39boost, or again PvE damage boost. Now
11:42again here, PvE damage boost is in
11:44theory the best stat line, but if you
11:47get a high damage boost roll or a high
11:49weapon damage boost roll, this is still
11:51very, very good. If you didn't know,
11:54maybe short explanation, damage boost
11:55and PvE damage boost is pretty easy to
11:57understand, I think. It's just like a
11:59percentage multiplier at the end of the
12:01formula that gives you more damage. For
12:03weapon damage boost, it basically
12:05multiplies your equipment attack. Now
12:08the cool thing is, it's an independent
12:10multiplier from damage boost and PvE
12:13damage boost, so this one is not that
12:15heavy impacted by diminishing returns,
12:17but it's just impacting the equipment
12:19attack. So for example, some attack
12:21bonus that you get from your genus
12:22inside or PvE attack or PvP attack or
12:26whatever is not influenced by weapon
12:28damage boost. It's still a very, very
12:30strong stat, and if you get a high roll
12:32here on weapon damage boost, I would
12:34still take it, for sure. So I would roll
12:36for those three stats. Then next up, we
12:39have the Natura boards. Here, you only
12:42want to roll for PvE damage boost.
12:45Multi-hit chance and perfect chance are
12:47nice stats, but they are not even close
12:50to PvE damage boost. Okay, not even
12:52close. Perfect chance and multi-hit
12:54chance are both completely bait stats.
12:57You only roll here for PvE damage boost.
13:00Then next up, we have the Varium boards.
13:03Here we have again PvE damage boost, but
13:05now also back attack damage boost and
13:07front attack damage boost. Now back
13:09attack damage boost and front attack
13:11damage boost is a tiny bit better than
13:14PvE damage boost. Again, I don't want to
13:16bore you with too many details, but if
13:19you fully utilize the front and the back
13:20attack damage boost, it will be a tiny
13:22bit better than the PvE damage boost.
13:25This just has something to do with
13:26diminishing returns. We get a lot of
13:28different PvE damage boost and damage
13:30boost effects that will be all summed up
13:33and there will be some diminishing
13:34returns. That's why front and back
13:36attack damage boost is a tiny bit
13:38better, but not a lot. So, if you are
13:40already a positional class, like for
13:43example a Templar and a Gladiator, which
13:45always want to attack from the front or
13:46like an Assassin that always wants to
13:48attack from the back, then for sure try
13:50to go for one of those stats. But if
13:52not, if you're like a Sorcerer, a
13:54Spiritmaster or you are like a ranged
13:55class and right now it does not matter
13:58from where you attack, you can also try
14:01to roll for that and become a positional
14:03class if you want that. If you feel
14:06like, "Nah, I'm good. I just want to
14:08attack from everywhere." then it's fine.
14:10Just go for PvE damage boost. The
14:12difference between those stats, at least
14:14in season one, is not that high. And
14:16then the last one that we have is the
14:18special boards. Now, here most classes
14:22will try to go for double chance. In our
14:25version, we don't get a lot of double
14:26chance, which is just a chance to double
14:29your damage. It's an independent
14:30multiplier for all of our damage.
14:33Incredibly strong, but if you are like a
14:35positional class, it would be also fine
14:38to go for front attack damage boost or
14:40back attack damage boost. I would always
14:43still prefer double chance, but if you
14:45get a very high roll on front attack
14:47damage boost or back attack damage
14:49boost, if you anyways always attack from
14:51the front or from the back, then this is
14:53still very, very good. But as mentioned,
14:55don't make yourself a positional class
14:57if you're currently none. If you're like
14:59a Spiritmaster or Sorcerer, you will
15:01always just go for double chance. And
15:03yeah, that's basically it. Everything
15:04that you need to know to progress your
15:06genius insight efficiently. Okay, let's
15:09sum everything up again. Rule number
15:11one, don't lock anything before you are
15:13level nine on your genius insight. If
15:16you don't know what you are doing or
15:17what stats lock, just level it to level
15:2010. That's totally fine. Rule number
15:22two, work with presets and don't just go
15:25for heroic stats. It's only fine to lock
15:28unique stats because we will work with
15:31presets. We will first make a decent
15:34layout and then later on make a second
15:37preset that is going to be completely
15:39this. And the third rule, always start
15:42with slot four. First try to roll a good
15:45stat here on slot four before you start
15:49rolling all the other stats. But yeah,
15:51that's it. I hope it helped. If you have
15:52any further questions, ask me in the
15:54comments. Thanks for watching and I see
15:56you in the next one.
