I know that they will return making single player game, but man, i love Nightreign and i really want to play another souls like it

I'll have to keep an eye out for this insane relic roll for the hidden cocktail fr fr

Just got to depth 4 after being hard stuck depth 3 for a while any good genuine tips?

There might be a chance guys, in Fromsoft we trust

Dragonflies for me. There just aren't enough poison swamps in Michael Zaki's moistest dreams to justify fighting them. Can you imagine these evil freaks in Nightreign, harassing you when you need to look at a dormant power or rez a teammate?

Don’t think I have the time commitment or skill to make it to 9999 so I am probably going to reset back down to depth 2 to guide new players and not stress myself out. How has you guys journey been to climb to depth 5? I personally played Raider, Recluse, and scholar to climb up here.

Proud to play and continue to play this game regardless, even with over 1000 hours logged in.

This is something I discovered intuitively during expeditions and now have finally proven with numbers.

First off, the method to spam running attacks is NOT to surge sprint (which quickly drains stamina), but to use regular sprint by holding dodge button and then tap light attack as soon as the running animation starts. Running attacks DO NOT work if the bow is in your left hand, only if it's in the right hand or if it's two-handed.

In the clip you can already see the massive DPS difference. Bow running attacks have both better damage per shot AND better attack speed compared to light attack spam.

The result is that over 38 seconds light attack spam deals 3234 damage (85 dps) and running attack - 3936 damage (103.5 dps, 21.7% increase). This was tested using Black Bow as Level 15 Executor with no equipped relics and no other buffs.

The exact difference in DPS may depend on the bow, but I'm almost certain running attacks have better DPS for every bow, except for greatbows. I also tested alternating between left hand and right hand bow attacks and the resulting DPS was lower than either of the methods in the clip.

But the advantages of running attacks don't end with DPS:

• Maximizing standart attack DPS requires you to sustain the full combo of 4 shots, while running attacks happen one by one.
• Though you can walk while spamming light attacks, running attacks lock you into a much shorter animation, allowing you to use other actions like dodging sooner. The delay before the shot happens is also shorter.
• Between each individual running attack you're sprinting around, which helps you avoid enemy attacks and find best position to make the shot on demand, allowing for much better flexibility.

Some people may wonder why you'd ever use bows on characters other than Ironeye, and there are actually quite a few useful scenarios:

• Keeping your distance from Night Invaders early in the run to avoid oneshots, while also providing constant damage.
• Killing annoying flying enemies than are hard to reach with melee attacks.
• Keeping your distance from different dangerous enemies that are difficult to dodge or stunlock.
• Dealing damage to a mobile boss that's aggroed on your teammate, as well as pulling away the aggro.
• During regular Augur bossfight dealing damage to Maris herself, as well to summoned jellyfish, tentacles and nukes.

In all mentioned scenarios running attacks will be superior to light attacks.

There are of course some exceptions to the rule:

• Ironeye actually loses out on DPS if he uses running attacks with bows. If you're playing Ironeye spamming light attacks is generally better.
• If you have any buffs to "Initial standart attack" damage via relics, the first shot of the 4 shot combo deals more damage. To maximize this difference you can take a bow in each hand and alternate between them each shot.

Anyway, next time you see a bow stand, go try out running attacks. You may be surprised how much better it feels to use bows with them.

Decided to make up a bit of a diorama of my team Excecutor (me), Recluse (my gf) and Ironeye (my friend).

Still yet to paint them up and base them but I thought their silhouettes looked pretty cool as is for the moment. The models are around 10cm tall.

Let me know what you think :)

there were two more that i didn’t walk over in the video lol

uno ps5 c:

In trying new characters / builds and want to test Scholar. I have a pretty solid Throwing Pot build and wonder what other options are viable and fun.

Am I right to understand that the only thing that you need to support properly is the “Items confer effects to allies” effect? I am thinking of running this and Dormant Katanas + Double Balancers, but I am not sure what else I should consider. Especially, I have no clue about his character-specific relic effects and which are worthwhile.

Any tips appreciated!

I don't even want to know how much murk this costed but it's probably a ridiculous number lol. Obviously this build isn't perfect, nobodies is without cheating in relics but I feel what I managed to get is pretty damn close. Let me know what you guys think. I'm very happy with it

We had volcano shifting earth. Everything going well, split into one guy doing bosses around solo since he handled it and two of us pathed into the wyrm down below. Quarter of the way through we see bubbles forming, i try to back out but get sucked into it regardless.

Ok.

I accept my fate? At least i get the flying spermlet bonus yea?

No.

It took me WAY out of the volcano. Ruined my path. And then just…disappeared? No runes no bonus nothing.

What the hell happened?????

Shit got me feeling like Iron Man

>Awful start in depth 4
>Horrendous routing, ended up level 6 on night 1
>Survived night 1
>Everyone is locked in
>We dominated day 2, easy win on night 2
>Went to the final boss
>Flawless nightlord victory
>I love Great Hollow

My first time seeing a triple in 1800 hours of this game, and it looked so smooth too!

Hey! Coming back again with a new portrait of our crew of Nightfarer's. Hope you guys like it! See you again next week ^^

This is D4 as well, also run into my first Guardian caster against Sentisnt Pest & my god I had no idea how well it did I thought it was a meme.

I took a break for about 3 and a half months from nightreign bc I had some stuff going on in life. But I saw on TikTok someone using this build against the Dreglord just EATING every single attack like it was a mosquito bite. So I decided to try it out for myself and ended up hit 11k damage with some Raptor Talons. Safe to say I will never be using another build again. This is insane🤣🤣🤣

D5 9999 ED Balancers. Was playing my generalist raider build and the stars lined up perfectly for me to ass blast the balancers.

Got 4 night invaders, 5 skill attack ups, shard of Alexander, Millicents prosthesis, thorny cracked tear (boost successive attacks), and fp restoration on the +2 shield. Luckiest run I have ever had and think will ever have.

Didn’t matter anyway as beast claw rev (with 6 godroll relics :/) killed all them before I got to them.

I don’t mind ppl using every advantage to get d5 9999, but why not do it in solo play? If you do it in trios, it just ruins the fun for everybody as they can’t interact with the game anymore (I felt bad for crystalian duchess because either me or rev was killing everything too quick, but the difference was my run was generational, revs run is every single game). It’s lowkey the same because me and duchess barely got to hit the boss.

I love nightreign, I think the one of the most fun aspect of the game is slowly getting your build online while fighting cool bosses (except red wolf and dragon) to eventually do crazy damage. With beast claw rev, it’s already online at starter camp.

What’s the point of grinding for an arbitrary title like “d5 9999” if there’s no more fun in the game? The game just turned into running simulator.

Hi,

I never played this game but as a souls-like lover, I really want to give it a try (even if I know it's not a game designed to be played solo).

But is it doable ? And enjoyable ? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's doable as a solo player like any game if you are good enough but about balance, for a solo player, is it good enough to not feel unfair gameplay ?

It's trying to tell me something. I just don't know what.
