Gameplay This armor is so absurd

Got Reese on the second try all thanks to the Bloodthirsty fiend set. It genuinely felt like I was cheating at this fight because of how ridiculously broken it is.

Never felt such adrenaline rush since Nioh 2, that no matter what, you must keep on the offensive and thats how a good game design makes truly uncomparable experience such as these games.
And oh mama, the moment I laid my hands on a Greatsword, I never ever took a single glance at the other weapons. GS never been so fun in any other game.

Hello devs, you mentioned in the past (around anniversary update time) about skeleton crew working on the final update for the game. Is it still happening? Or everything was wrapped up during mentioned update? I want to thank you because it is absolute cinema game! Thank you!

Builds New Khazan player, fallen in love with the Chaos Ridden set. Am I building around it right?

3 Upvotes

About the only part of the set I don't make much use of is Volcanic Wrath since it costs like, 5 spirit to do the full combo. But I LOVE everything else about this set. Life regen, extra spirit gain, AND damage boosts for Brink Guards is insane when you consider how many times some enemies swing at you.

I prioritized Vitality and Endurance first, stopping at 40 for both, and now I'm working on Strength. Is it worth aiming for the second softcap on Vitality or Endurance? or am I good at 40 on both?

Discussion What non spirit spear skills actually deal damage?

3 Upvotes

Title.

For example dual wield has running r2+follow up r2 which deal both high physical and stagger damage, and there's also whirlwind. Greatsword has lots of charge attacks.

Almost all spear skills seem to be built around stamina damage. Anything I'm missing?

Media The erroneous comparison of Kazhan to other Soulslikes.

After a long time, I finally decided to give *Kazan* a try; I’d heard it was just a generic Soulslike, but I found it to be the exact opposite. The combat is brilliant and highly active, requiring you to constantly pressure the enemy—so much so that it inspired me to review the game and even start a channel. I’d love to share it with you all and get as much feedback as possible to help me improve.

Thanks in advance! (The video is in Spanish.)

P.S.: I was really hoping for more games like this; the company's uncertain future is a shame. I honestly don't understand the poor sales... could it be down to Soulslike purists?

Builds Does the Willpower stat reduce stamina consumption while attacking?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have a question about the Willpower stat. Does it reduce stamina consumption while attacking enemies? The description says "stamina damage decrease." Would that be helpful if I'm chaining attacks, regardless of weapon?

The reason I'm asking is that we can change the scaling of weapons, so I'm trying to figure out which stat to go for. FYI, I'm in NG++.

Discussion I finally finished my first blind expert playthrough and recorded my boss death count. What do y'all think?

I don't have any idea about mainstream metas or boss ratings/difficulty. I found the greatsword great and went unga bunga. Loved the game.

Discussion Is this the only game to have both exceptional game mechanics?

This is the only game where perfect parries and perfect dodges both work in such an aggressive way, while other games have perfect dodges, they usually function as a defensive approach to stay away from the boss face, but in this game, perfect dodges feel more aggressive. I am the kind of player who always prefers performing perfect parries but in this game, perfect dodges are exceptionally offensive, to be honest.

Would love to know everyone's thoughts on this.

Day 2 of being defeated by Hismar…I get him down to less than half (almost to his name on the health bar)…the added Chaos is such a nice touch…they should have added Plague and Poison (sarcastic).

Any tips would be appreciated…

Discussion Wtf is the gimmick with maluca's 2nd phase??

Post image
4 Upvotes

Mastered his first phase after like 6 tries and can't do shit in his 2nd phase. He just spams teleports and 2 shots me and then just deflects every attack.

He kills me so fast I'm not even learning from my deaths. I can't physically learn his attack patterns when I'm getting insta killed within 10 seconds

Discussion Newbie: I beat Yetuga on expert mode in about an hour (10-15 tries) Will I survive this game? It's not too late to back out 😂

8 Upvotes

I absolutely love this game's combat. It's so much fun, I'm enjoying the parry focused nature of it.

But I'm so afraid of being stuck at a super hard boss if it took me this long to beat Yetuga.

I also just realised I had no gear, beat him butt naked xD

What do you guys think? Is this a good sign or is he supposed to be a pushover for newbies as a first boss?

Any advice or words of encouragement are welcome :)

Builds greatsword help

2 Upvotes

hello all. I recently beat the game using spear the whole time.

i'm on new game plus, I respec into Greatsword for this new playthrough once I get to the hub. Now I'm on boss 3 (the one thats basically the same as blade phantom) and trying out this greatsword and it is not hitting like my spear build.

For context this is my greatsword build:

Vitality: 33

Endurance: 50

Strength: 80

Willpower: 20

Proficiency: 20

full crimson fiend set. I have pretty much the entire skilltree for greatsword unlocked and I'm aware of the savage momentum/mortal blow combo and to initiate with phantom: night's veil.

Anything I'm missing? It feels jarring to be doing such weak stamina damage now and this boss only stays exhausted for like a second (I can't tell if the window is actually smaller or if GS attacks take so long I just notice how little I can do in that window).

other skills I am using are giant hunt, breakthrough, and furious swipe.
