In-Depth Strategy Guide for Von Leon

Guide updated:

• Added alternative Shadower jail method, thanks @GreedyTW
• Added another loot/bonus option for larger parties
• Changed some minor stuff like the new partyinvite command and some grammar mistakes

 

Made a quick belt chaosing simulator, and calculated what it takes to hit a target WA on a belt.

This is assuming you're WS + CSing until it's impossible to hit your target WA, and once you hit the target (or above), you stop.

2 WA belt is guaranteed (100% chance, 0 cs need to pass)
3 WA belt is achieved in ~58.7% of belts, taking around 2.8 passed chaos scrolls (4.7 total parchments)
4 WA belt is achieved in ~43.5% of belts, taking around 4.8 passed chaos scrolls (8 total)
5 WA belt is achieved in ~25.7% of belts, taking around 9.9 passed chaos scrolls (16.5 total)
6 WA belt is achieved in ~14.5% of belts, taking around 17 passed chaos scrolls (28 total)
7 WA belt is achieved in ~6.7% of belts, taking around 35 passed chaos scrolls (58 total)
8 WA belt is achieved in ~2.7% of belts, taking around 70 passed chaos scrolls (116 total)
9 WA belt is achieved in ~0.8% of belts, taking around 190 passed chaos scrolls (316 total)
10 WA (perfect) belt is achieved in ~0.16% of belts (1/625), taking around 800 passed chaos scrolls (1333 total)

Hopefully this helps people decide what WA belt they want to settle at! For pro VL runners this makes 8 WA seem... kind of achievable? If you run 2/week that's a bit over a year, assuming you can always loot belt. But past that you'll need some incredible grinding, or amazing luck, with 10 wa taking >10 years on average

Spoiler: Code I used in case you want to look for bugs

Code:

const makeBelt = () => ({ wa: 2, slots: 5})
const chaos = (belt) => ({ wa: Math.max(0, belt.wa + Math.floor(Math.random()*5-2)), slots: belt.slots - 1})

const domath = (target) => {
   let successes = 0, scrolls = 0;
   for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
       let belt = makeBelt();
       belt.slots--;
       while (belt.wa > 0 && belt.wa + 2*belt.slots >= target && belt.wa < target) {
           belt = chaos(belt);
           scrolls++;
       }
       if (belt.wa >= target) {
           successes++;
       }
   }
   console.log("Successes:", successes, " (% =", successes/1000000*100, ")")
   console.log("Scrolls:", scrolls, "(per belt =", scrolls/successes, ")")
}
for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    console.log("WA Goal=", i)
    domath(i)
    console.log("")
}

 

Changed the recommended party sizes, as well as the HP values and some other things to be in line with current patch.
In case of a fix/revert/buff, I will be changing them again.

 

Revamped large outdated parts of this guide.
This should be more in line with the current meta/patch (also I might've not given enough love to Sair/Pally originally).

 

pro guide 0/

 

Revamped the guide once again, some parts were still very outdated.
This should be very relevant to today's meta now.

 

Mechanic note: while new bodies have teleport immediately of cool down, VL can't teleport until he's below 99% HP.

This normally doesn't make a difference at all but sometimes if he summons gargoyles at the end of a body and a bishop goes left to grab aggro (to prevent rock spam) they'll notice he won't teleport until everyone else runs back over to attack.

 

- Updated the thread to fit the current meta even better.
- Made adjustments to the Buccaneer and Dark Knight sections to simplify things.
