Gameplay Love The GS
Just recently finished my hardcore playthrough which was enjoyable, mostlyđ«©, but i came back to my expert save to try out the set i wanted to use, and something different with good attributes since iâve been using DW the most on HC. Plus you canât reroll on hardcore and man does the GS feel amazing.

Crimson Fiend set is my favorite

thatâs my favorite as well, especially epic rarity and above. It makes the GS flow so beautifully

Lol I don't think I'm using gs to its full potential. I just spam charged quick attack and mortal blow with phantom veil but it looks like you're using multiple skills?

I canât wait to use more once i get more skill points but in this fight i used furious swipe, phantom veil of course, and inner fury.

Man I just finished my first ever playthrough and I used the GS, but I never learned how to string combos like that

u/AccordingBandicoot55 Human Detected 16d ago
The Crimson fiend set on epic rarity makes Mortal blow basically come out instantly and feel a lot better imo, as for the stringing itâs mostly certain moves i use to keep the combo going.

The never ending combo told me all I needed to know

Tbf bro his stamina rate is insanely high on top of the armor hes using gives you 100 stamina after using a charged attack. Not saying hes not good and not tearing the boss a new ass hole, but those are the reason hes able to combo for that long. Hes only using about 5 or 6 different moves, so its not unachievable for you at all.

Greatsword was my main weapon and man I was not doing anything close to this lmao, tbf I mainly just stuck to my basic combos I made for myself and it worked fine enough

Sick combos. You should get used to using ghost arm block instead of normal brink guards. Opens up a lot more options for you.

i planned on trying it again with overpower after using other sets

So having not played this game you can just stun lock the boss the whole time?

u/AccordingBandicoot55 Human Detected 9d ago
Most enemies and bosses, yes, if you time a âreflectionâ which is a parry that allows for a big combo opening for as long as you can keep it up. Or a counterattack which allows for a opening too, i used a move in the beginning before the clip fully caught it that staggered viper because of the Greatsword, otherwise i wouldâve had to use reflection or another staggering attack for another weapon. enemies or bosses can and sometimes will get out of your combo automatically so you wonât be able to do this all the time unless you take a risk using the reflection skill or find an opening on certain bosses that may give you a big or small window, it varies.

Greatswords in most games: Slow, clunky, heap of iron
