In this segment, the video discusses the mechanics and effects of lightning and cold damage in a game. It explains that in dark zones, the light radius of monsters is reduced when they are “blinded,” preventing them from attacking unless the player is within their diminished light radius. The “Koi for Glory” item is highlighted, which applies this blinding effect through ranged and melee attacks but not spells. The duration of the effect decreases with higher difficulty levels, such as Nightmare or Hell, where monsters become more resistant.
The segment emphasizes that ranged characters, particularly Amazons, can efficiently use this blinding effect through skills like multi-shot or strafe, rendering ranged monsters unable to attack unless their melee attack range is breached. It mentions that the “Koi for Glory” item is especially useful in disabling dangerous ranged monsters and can also be advantageous for mercenary characters using bows. Lastly, the utility of the “Koi for Glory” helmet in various play modes is discussed, noting that while it is beneficial for ranged characters, it is less useful for melee characters.
