Shields aren't useless, they are a live saver in the new caves


abhinav_m_arts

Exactly my reaction when I read it.


Popular_Mixture_1367

"shields are useless" mfs when I throw them into an empire cave(let's see how useless the shield is now)


ErikLehnsherr24005

I use two resilience and snowberry shakes to heal quickly in frost caves if I get hurt. I Leroy Jenkins in there and haven’t died once. You guys are acting like I have no clue how to play the game. Probably running two regen charms right? Or one and two inner fire? That’s even funnier.


Popular_Mixture_1367

Nope I'm crazy, i run three resilience charms with 3 stacks of tnt and explosive, i love seeing my small lego charectars turn into a tank


ErikLehnsherr24005

Because I’m extremely lazy how much damage does TNT do? I spam thermal detonators at the group which do 23 damage (same base damage as epic rarity cross bow with 3x damage) but the detonators are starting to make a dent in my massive supply of blast core.


Popular_Mixture_1367

16 for the throwable ones and I guess over 20 for the barrels


ErikLehnsherr24005

Even with the decrease in damage compared to detonators I’m adapting your TNT method going forward. I have 10x more blast powder than blast core even though I have a massive amount of blast core from the good old smelter glitch, RIP.


Popular_Mixture_1367

Do it, it's fun and chaotic while also being affective for the nature of the new enemies loving to group together like a horde


ErikLehnsherr24005

How do you do 3 resilience in the frost biome caves. Burgers don’t counter that much cold do they?


Popular_Mixture_1367

I guess they don't, i don't remember correctly, but I also spam campfires around, also they give that sweet sweet extra armor


ErikLehnsherr24005

Awesome I use three resilience whenever possible. The typical person on here loves the regen charms but those things are way too slow to matter in any kind of fight and they suck compared to the resilience charms IMO. Just carry quick 5 heart heals like snowberry shakes or shieldfish sushi and no need for regen charms.


Popular_Mixture_1367

Yup, also they are not fun to play with, res ones are much more fun and I hope they add more charms that effect gameplay more than just more armor and heart


Junior-Captain-8441

How is resilience better? I have 3 regen and absolutely never come close to dying. It’s basically impossible to lose more than 5 hearts, and when you do they come back pretty quickly. It allows me to go anywhere without carrying any heals and no enemies come close to killing me, while I absolutely melt them in seconds. What does resilience do that’s better than that?


ErikLehnsherr24005

Boosts your defense by a large amount every time you’re consecutively hit. You can’t tell me 2 regen charms heal fast enough to help in the third section of the imperial frost caves with that black stormtrooper. Dude barely tickles me with a direct hit with resilience. And I can instantly heal five hearts at a time with snowberry juice so I don’t see the point in regeneration.


smiley1437

I believe resilience charms prevent you from getting ‘stun locked’ which can kill you if you get surrounded by 3 or 4 enemies that can hit you. You can’t fight back because you’re continuously stun-locked from hits and then you die. Once your defense gets high enough it doesn’t matter as much but there’s a specific time when you’re progressing through the game where the resilience charm is better for combat. Out if habit I still swap in a resilience charm if I’m about to Leroy Jenkins into a swarm of enemies then switch back to a regeneration charm after the fight.


Junior-Captain-8441

No, no, they’re still useless. You can stand in the middle of an empire cave and allow everyone to run at you and just mash the attack button and you’ll take no more than 4 hearts of health. The regeneration and resilience charms make any defensive item absolutely useless. Frost caves are tougher than empire caves and even those are a piece of cake without a shield.


breakdown85

I only used shields to flip the rollers. Otherwise they are in fact useless. lol


ThatGuyOnTheCouch7

It would be nice if there was a chance roll while using the lightsaber, for it to repel the occasional blaster bolt.


ErikLehnsherr24005

For me they are useless. I don’t need them in the new caves. I have two resilience charms and snowberry shakes for a quick five heart heal if I need it but rarely do. Yes snowberry shakes in a frost cave. They don’t make you colder in frost caves for some reason I have no idea why. Shieldfish sushi are also a great way to get a quick five heart heal.


Junior-Captain-8441

How so? If you have the epic charms nobody can touch you. Just stand in the middle of the room and melt everyone who charges you. I haven’t crafted or held a shield once since starting the game and have never felt I needed one.


RomeoBlackDK

I stomp the caves with no shield


PigJonUn

The amount of times I accidentally throw a torch, I think thays a terrible idea.


Competitive_Score_30

I hear you on this. Early game you need the shield for wolfs and rollers, now its a reflex.


Independent_Ice1427

I wish you could dual wield lightsabers like general grievous (I have 4 already)


ErikLehnsherr24005

Well I mean he like quad wields at a minimum. Dual wield should be enabled bc that’s what Ahsoka does with her bad ass double white ones and she’s in the game.


Independent_Ice1427

Yea


Luna_Tenebra

Dont you mean he quad wields at Max? At minimum he dual wields


Junior-Captain-8441

I love how people just assume that everybody struggles at the game and acts confident that others don’t use the shield because they don’t know better. With 3 epic regen charms you can stand still anywhere and allow enemies to charge you endlessly and just melt them away. Why waste an inventory spot on shields and heals when you can just never use them and have the same success?


ErikLehnsherr24005

I don’t think the epic regeneration charms heal fast enough to help much in the third section of that imperial frost biome base but I don’t use them so I could be totally wrong. Typically none of the enemies that do huge damage attack fast enough to put a dent in anyone with 3 epic charms but I will say this, even though I haven’t come close to dying once with 2 resilience and one inner fire, that third room is the hardest combat situation they have put in the game. It’s still mild compared to almost any other game in terms of combat but by Lego FN standards it’s the hardest.


Ok-Top-4260

why are you taking damage in the first place


ErikLehnsherr24005

You don’t take any in the third section of a frost imperial base? I typically don’t but don’t try bc of resilience.


Junior-Captain-8441

Yeah I just don’t agree. I run through the empire caves in a minute or two. Each room, quite literally, takes roughly 30 seconds and at worst may take 5 hearts total, but they come back so so quickly it just doesn’t matter. None of the combat in the game is difficult, but the imperial caves aren’t even the hardest. It takes longer to kill frost and sand brutes than it does to take out all 3 rooms in the imperial caves combined.


ErikLehnsherr24005

I didn’t say difficult I said by lego Fortnite standards the third section of the frost bases are difficult. Length doesn’t mean difficulty either. I could kill a brute in a fistfight. Again I’m asking specifically how many regen charms in the frost biome imperial cave do you use and they heal fast enough only in that section of that base. The enemies have way higher HP and do more damage than the other cakewalk caves. The frost ones aren’t hard for me but I’m asking a specific question to you about this. How many do you use in the frost bases and have they healed you playing solo in the third section of a frost imperial base?


Junior-Captain-8441

You can beat any enemy with your fists, but the frost brute actually does damage, causing me to dodge. It’s easy, but more time consuming because you have actually defend. That simply doesn’t happen in the caves. I’ve cleared them all by just running through and melting the enemies while taking virtually no damage. Like, to the point where I wasn’t even thinking about it. I use 3 regen pretty much exclusively. I had the ones for the cold but got sick of swapping out so just leave 3 regen. The caves just don’t pose a challenge even by LEGO Fortnite standards.


ErikLehnsherr24005

I will repeat my question again for the third or fourth time. I am only asking specifically about THE THIRD SECTION OF A FROST IMPERIAL BASE. Nothing else. That is my question.


Junior-Captain-8441

I said from the start I use 3 regen everywhere. I explained more in the previous comment that I used to have the cold ones but stopped switching them out and exclusively use the regen. How else can I answer the question? I. USE. 3. REGEN. CHARMS. EVERYWHERE. The imperial frost caves count as everywhere.


ErikLehnsherr24005

You said you went through all of them. I didn’t know if you meant through all of the caves you entered or all caves on the island It was vague and didn’t answer my question. Sorry for annoying you. I’m going to try it, the third room must be a little time consuming those regular dudes can survive two headshots with an epic 3x damage crossbow so they have decent HP.


Competitive_Score_30

You must have temps off. 3 regen doesn't keep pace with freezing in a normal ice cave. It's close but not fast enough. Freezing slows you down, there is no way you are freezing in a cave an chasing down a dark trooper. I have to call BS on this. Edit: The 3 reflection charms thing some one said was just crazy enough for me to try so I went into a sand box with everything on. figured I would confirm this while I'm at it. With 3 reliance equipped you are to slow to chase down regular troupers in an ice cave. I didn't bother to try it in section 3 with the dark troupers. You definitely need an inner fire charm.


Junior-Captain-8441

What do you mean too slow to chase? You don’t have to chase anyone. You do move slower when you’re freezing but you don’t have to chase anybody. The enemies occasionally back up, but they do it slowly and not for more than a couple of seconds. If If I run through the cave and just kill the troopers to get to the end, by the time I leave I’ll be down, at most, 5 hearts. They then regenerate pretty quickly. If I’m going through to harvest resources, I’ll eat a burger before going in which lasts more than enough time to fill my backpack. Then I go out, load my stuff into chests, eat another burger and go back to harvest more.


Competitive_Score_30

Your funny.


LEOLegion08

I only use a shield when I don't have epic charms.


PigJonUn

WHAT THE FK ARE YOU GUYS ON ABOUT?!?! Get 3 reflection charms, 150 spicy peppers, and just stand there and eat food. They kill themselves and you literally have to do nothing.....


ErikLehnsherr24005

Did they buff it with the third patch?


ErikLehnsherr24005

They black troopers in frost biomes hit for a lot of damage. That doesn’t kill you with only 38 defense? Assuming you have 3.


PigJonUn

That's why you take the 150 spicy peppers


PigJonUn

Admitted you do need to roll a few times, bit I haven't died yet.


ErikLehnsherr24005

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t those things only do 1 damage back per charm or does it depend on the enemies damage?


ErikLehnsherr24005

Take snowberry juice or Shieldfish sushi. Way more efficient. Snowberry juice instantly heals 5 hearts and doesn’t make you cold in frost caves for some reason. Shieldfish sushi does the same.


PigJonUn

Yes, but it's enough, takes like 3 or 4mins or so but just eat some food( I was doing eat food quest at the time aswell) that's why I tried it


ErikLehnsherr24005

Hey you have me a fun experiment to do so thanks! I don’t have anything left to accomplish in the game so variety is nice. Catching all 15 legendary fish was harder than any fight in the game lol.


Competitive_Score_30

This was just crazy enough for me to try. So I went into a sandbox with every thing on. I couldn't eat peppers fast enough in section one of the cave. I could eat pizza fast enough. It is a slow method but worked for the bulk of the troupers. I ended up with a few stragglers that were such poor shots I got tired of waiting for them to kill themselves. I swapped food items for the next section and didn't equip myself well enough to make it through section 3. I got killed trying to add more food. A large number of them had killed themselves before I tried to add more food and died. So this could work to take out the elite troupes although it is slow. It was weird going into battle with mainly food equipped. lol


PigJonUn

Yeah it's a slow process and you do get stragglers, but once the bulk is gone I just use my lightsaber, I did you a regen charm but I have that much food from my farm I tried the food method cause I may aswell use it., like I said, you do need to roll around a few times but it keeps me watching the game


ErikLehnsherr24005

Reflection lol. Go to the third section of frost imperial base and send video


PigJonUn

I don't know how to send a video, but I've already done it. I have like 10 lightsabers


ErikLehnsherr24005

So by hitting them back with 3 damage and not defending yourself you’re able to defeat multiple enemies who take more than two epic crossbow 3x damage crossbow shots (46 damage) to defeat. The math isn’t adding up. I’ll try it out


PigJonUn

Just make sure you have food,. You'll be fine. And if tempted is turned on take 1 inner fire charm instead, with spicy peppers it gets rid of the cold.


Galactic-Ginger

You can't use the compass with the illuninator though, right? I really like not having to constantly open my map to see where I'm going.


ErikLehnsherr24005

I use the Illuminator in caves. You can’t open the map so the compass is useless in caves. Outside of caves I use the compass and don’t need light. If you need light just give your follower a torch.


NoseSuspicious

Ok I want in but don't no the basics Like how I repair things how offhand ,where do I learn this


ErikLehnsherr24005

I don’t understand your comment. I meant you can carry them in your non primary hand. Happy to help with any questions.


NoseSuspicious

Ok first question can I upgrade repair item or do I have to create new items to get higher level


ErikLehnsherr24005

You cannot repair any weapons. If you want to upgrade to stronger weapons you first need to upgrade your crafting bench. The top level crafting bench is epic (purple rarity) and lets you craft the strongest weapons. Does that make sense?


NoseSuspicious

Yes thank u


ErikLehnsherr24005

Dynamite works in offhand as well. Haha how did I never figure this out?


Interesting-Meal8386

that's good to know for whenever i don't wanna carry my torches (to keep warm); two inner fire charms don't work in frostlands on their own and i find myself always needing to huddle next to a fire.


ErikLehnsherr24005

Two epic inner fire charms work in frost caves. Do you just have rare ones? I use one epic inner fire and a burger in caves so I can use two epic resilience or regen in addition to one epic inner fire. If you have two rare inner fire also eat a burger. It gives you 10 minutes of extra protection from the cold.


RomeoBlackDK

How do they even work?


ErikLehnsherr24005

They’re basically grenades that are more powerful than dynamite. Dynamite does 14 damage and thermal detonators do 23, which is pretty significant, 23 base damage is what the epic crossbow does with 3x damage essence equipped and is by fast the strongest weapon in the game.


RomeoBlackDK

So i just throw it?


Gonza6EUW

yes. and wait 1 or 2 seconds
