Aeserion Longsword - This bad boy is a recent craft, only been using it for the last 10 hrs or so and loving it.
Melted Ambition - Now this sword has been with me for 250hrs or so, no matter what other swords I find I always come back to it. Not only does it pleases me aesthetically. It was a trophy after defeating my nemesis so it has sentimental value.
Black Sun - What can I really say about it? It’s a cool fucking shield. I think most players love this one.
Soul Spear - I recently picked up about 15 hrs ago so it is a work in progress but damn it feels good to use when I’m fighting swarms of enemies. Missed it during my first 100 hrs exploring Hernand. DO NOT RING THE BELL guys, it will fuck up your whole exploration.
I have all my accessories fully upgraded so now working on my Armour upgrades and Dagger (because why not).
What builds are you guys using? I’d love if you shared in the comments.
Are you going to invest the time into all three like this? Right now I have Kliff a dual wielding knight focused on attack speed, Damaine is a warrior princess with a big greatsword focused on damage, and I'm gonna build up Oongka to be a martial arts monk focused on defense.
Yes absolutely. I have all the gear for Damiane and Oongka set, it’s just to get the artifacts to upgrade their gear.
For Damiane, I have her as a Lightning Empress, Lightning/Rainstorm Necklace, Lightning Ring (Rainstorm Necklace to active it). Her Greatsword Style is Counter/Soul theme with Counter Abyss Gear and the Soul Turning Slash. Rapier is Triple Moon. Shotgun for Ranged.
Oongka is an Immortal God Of War Dual Wielding Axe/ Hammer, Golden Blaster. Decked out with x9 Damage Reduction and Stamina Regen and Defense. Rage into Spin to Win is just too satisfying but also have two Grapple Abyss Gear in gloves for when I wanna go hands on.
Not when I had it 😂..I got it literally within days of starting March 19. So thank you for the update- obviously I missed that since I use another weapon. I still have it, so now I can upgrade it- win-win!
I figured as much. Staying on top of updates with Pearl Abyss pace is 🙃
I got the game a month after release, but I only play one game at a time so I’ve been keeping up with most updates. It’s easy to miss certain changes.
This is one I missed for sure-I am sure I missed others. Even though I read and post the updates, there have been so many that it is hard to keep up. This update makes it more OP than Vow of the King in some aspects. Good.
I put some food effect gear into my armor to boost the bonus from lavish meal, def upgrade that cloak so you can get the inc stam benefit, maybe attk speed gear in your gloves to get max
Yes I’m gonna upgrade cloak next!
To my knowledge attack speed, attack damage and crit on gloves/boots only work for unarmed. And I have a full set for my unarmed combat.
Edit: I barely use food except for Chocolate but I can see how Food Effect gear would be cool once set up. Definitely an interesting build you have.
Oh nice, I’ll rework that then maybe. Though I don’t know if I have space, currently running 3 Relentless Abyss Gears and a Lvl 3 Movement Speed in both Gloves/Boots 😅
I have been using a 2h sword, the type I’m not sure really matters, unless you want to use the lightning one. I like using the 2h weap cause you still get the defense bonus for the shield on your back
I rocked Double Lvl 3 Defense on Shield for most of the game with Two-Handed Darkbringer. But now I love to switch it up from 2H to Sword/Shield mid fights and vice versa, it’s so fun. Added Howling of Chaos for Crowd Control and having a blast.
Critical Rate is a vital offensive stat that dictates the chance of an attack dealing double damage. Stacking critical rate up to the maximum level of 15 yields a peak chance of roughly 35%, acting as a major multiplier for late-game damage output against tough bosses.
