If you take out the two octoroks and use a special to take out the Lizalfos archers that Lynel is super easy because of what you said. You can instantly freeze it in the water and since it’s fire elemental it’ll stay frozen long enough for you to deplete its whole gauge. Master Sword Link is good for this because you always have full health so you will always have Sword beams. Edit: gently caress I didn’t get the Korok lmao

This is the worst warriors game in terms of performance in co-op I've ever played. It's practically unplayable. I've seen reviews mention it but things like - I can't see the top of enemies at all. So I can't see what they're doing and can't counter their attacks. Because of the constant horrible lag I'm wall jumping when I try to evade all the loving time as well, it's really annoying that it's the same button. It's so unbelievably disappointing. I'm not saying Hyrule Warriors or Fire Emblem warriors were AMAZING in co-op but they at least worked

Just to be clear, that's for chests that drop from enemies. There are also treasures around the stages that you do have to walk up to and smack them to open.

Yeah, you eventually get an upgrade that labels them on your map. They can have materials, weapons, or rupees and don't respawn once you collect them. Then there's also chests in monster houses or on top of monster towers, the wood structures that you can climb up and fight monsters on. For these, best thing to do is throw bombs at them, it will immediately destroy them and kill all the monsters, and in the case of the towers it will drop the chest down to ground level.

Use L/R to navigate the menus on the map to flip through your challenges/quests/etc. I was moving my cursor around the map trying to find things I could turn in for longer than I'd like to admit.

Teba is weird, his regular attacks have him flailing all over the place, as does his C5, but his C3 is absurdly good at taking out crowds and C6 is one of the best WPG-shredding attacks in the game. His Stasis also lasts a really long time and his Cryonis is kinda neat. But I don’t use him or Revali very often. Revali is kinda good but he really needs a better way to transition between ground/flying, unless I’ve missed something.

The birbs are so good at shiekah runes, and Teba is just amazing at everything. Also why the heck is Hestu not usable on the Calamity Strikes mission at Hyrule Castle? I was going to grind it with each character who needed levels/weapon drops.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Revali is kinda good but he really needs a better way to transition between ground/flying, unless I’ve missed something. Revali starts out seeming crazy but the more I used him the less it seemed that way. He's awkward because his ground combat is pretty subpar, he only has a C3 at max though his normal attack string is decent for WPG damage at least. The game really wants you to use him in the air (which makes sense, he's a Rito and is proud of his air abilities) but when he's in the air he has problems hitting enemies sometimes due to height differences, and none of his strong attacks are particularly good at doing WPG damage. It's also easy for enemies to knock him out of the sky, which means you have to waste time getting back up, and the camera while he's flying can be pretty spotty. I feel like Revali would be a lot better if his air attacks forced WPG damage like other characters' midair attacks. I know they almost certainly purposely made them not do that because they were worried he'd be too overpowered if they did, but considering how many high level enemies have no shortage of attacks to knock him out of the sky, it'd be a nice risk/reward situation I think. Speaking of which my opinion of Sidon improved immensely when I figured out his C6 forces WPG damage, except on Taluses.

i would like the final optional character more if every time i did a weakpoint smash i couldn't just leave the room, make a sandwich, eat that sandwich, return, and still have to wait before i'm allowed to play the game againTwelve by Pies posted:and none of his strong attacks are particularly good at doing WPG damage. It's also easy for enemies to knock him out of the sky, which means you have to waste time getting back up, and the camera while he's flying can be pretty spotty. i find Revali is one of the best at depleting WPGs, in part because he's the only character who can cancel his stasis rune attack in such a way that it still does its full damage without cutting stasis duration short, meaning he can land the stasis attack, his aerial c5, and then his ground c2 (or ground c2 into aerial c5), letting him deplete WPGs in one go. Revali's got some wonkiness with his flight mode admittedly, but what he did he did extremely well. my only real issue was that lock-on kept breaking on hinoxes in flight mode but other than that he's fine?

Yeah his C5 is great and it causes you to land so you can keep hitting the enemy while the tornado is also hitting them. The issue I have is having to wait like two full seconds for him to start flying and how awkward he can be to control in the air sometimes.

the secret is that if you dodge-cancel his ground c2 during the part where there's updraft after the explosive arrow, you're immediately back in flight mode the trick to Revali is never actually using his unique action button but still getting all the benefits from his unique action

Ah that's pretty helpful info. It's hard keeping track mentally of which characters have stasis runes worth using for extra WPG damage. I know Link's and Impa's are fantastic, and Sidon's is practically worthless. I don't like much of that character's runes come to think of it. His bombs are amusing the first time you use them and then quickly become irritating since it's a timing minigame and they take too long to set up, meaning most enemies have already lost their bomb vulnerability by the time he hits it. e: I originally had Mipha as one of the "bad" stasis users but turns out that she can dodge cancel out of her stance and slap around enemies too, so she's fine (so is King Rhoam for that matter). So that makes the other characters with stasis animations less useful (which off the top of my head would be Daruk, Hestu and Urbosa, don't know if there's others).

That character's Stasis is just long enough for him to set up C6 on any enemy in the game after you dodge cancel it, so it is good enough. Also, their bomb actually hits pretty quickly compared to some other bomb runes (Riju's comes to mind as being horrifically slow), and it does amazing at knocking off both Talus arms simultaneously, which some other bomb runes struggle with.

After playing with Hestu a bit more today, I found out his stasis is pretty strong too if you have a full entourage of koroks with you, taking off about 3 or 4 wedges with his animation, and then you can still get some regular attacks in to boot after it finishes. I beat the story a little bit ago. Really good stuff! The final Ganon battle was...okay. I think the Ganon fight in the first Hyrule Warriors was much better. Looking in the gallery, it says that Astor is from a "certain small village" in Hyrule, which makes me curious if he has an interesting backstory we might see in DLC.

It's funny how different the experience is for me playing co-op because as I said Teba is absolutely 100% worthless trying to play as.

In my experience, you're better off dodge canceling the Stasis and doing C6 (the leaf ride) to break the WPG instead.

Hestu’s C6 is absurdly good at breaking WPG’s, I agree. I wish Zelda’s mine cart one was as good because it’s way funnier. I haven’t used shiekah slate Zelda since I got her other, significantly better weapon though. I unlocked the first post-endgame special character and they are pretty awesome to use. C5 is amazing against crowds and C3 is great at shredding WPG’s if you are able to get in close enough. Still haven’t unlocked the final character but I was spoiled on who it is so I’m not in a rush. By the way, is there any benefit to redoing story missions with a Blood Moon? Apart from more exp and rupees. Every time I’ve done one I’ve gotten ten of each of the battleground-unique materials which is nice except I found like 90 of each in the actual level lol

I know you get better weapon drops during a blood moon. I did the harder version of Revali's recruitment stage and got nothing but tier 3 weapons for my characters. I think material drop rates improve as well but I'm not sure.

this is my first musou and so far i've finished the demo and now Daruk's recruitment mission. Still trying to get a hang of his lava stone stuff. The map management stuff is turning on my brain cells, love doing all the stuff and reading up the cute descriptions. As soon as I finished Daruk's thing I went to camp and used rupies to make everyone level 16 and then fed their weapons, just left a couple with neat looking abilities that didn't seem to transfer. oh and i love it when theres like one or two big enemies left and their back is towards a wall so I can enter Performance Mode and see how this would run on a theorical Switch Pro.

You have to have an empty skill slot on a weapon in order to transfer a new skill onto it. Weapons start with one slot by default and gain a new one at every fifth level.

When you do get the new skill slot, the first skill of whatever weapon you fed to it first will be the skill you add. Since you can only feed 5 at a time, you might need to manage exactly when you level-up a little bit to get the right one.
