JBP posted:The red sword rating is generally more important than the level rating. I've swanned into so many missions like "yeah I got this" and then had to run around like a psycho trying to collect my spirit animal and then use a branch to get the gently caress out. The enemies seem to bust out their unblockables and vary up their general moveset more at higher ratings I've found.

poptart_fairy posted:Tweaked my build a bit to use a mix of Kingo and Warrior of the East with an Odachi and I'm having a better time of it, but playing catch-up with my gear is awful. I'm having dreadful luck with the POTD revenants - not seen anything higher than level 162 drop, let alone weapons with +1/2/3, etc. My damage stinks as a result. Revenants can't drop +x equipment.

Did they nerf sloth? Saw it only lasted about a second on one of the new enemies. Haven't tested on older ones but figured they finally nerfed it.

^^^ That would suck if true, I just bought the full compliment of Sloth Talismans because they're one of the only debuffs I regularly used. Every rev I fight seems to have a full Divine set of.................. Red Demon Armor  I refuse to equip any piece of that armor on principle alone. I did luck into a Divine dual swords with Lightning, as well as a Divine Fire kusarigama so that's fun.I did notice I seem to be having more luck bashing through blocking enemies' ki bars in the DLC, can't tell if it's an actual change from before the patch tho.

They may have shortened its duration slightly, but I'm still getting my usual mileage out of it. Then again, I am running an onmyo specialist with almost 700 Magic Power. Speaking of, I just Crushed Masamune. Dang, that was satisfying.

Crushed Maria. I used Sloth to do it, but even so, it wasn't easy. She's got a remarkable amount of stamina for the sort of boss she is, even under the effect of Lifeseal.

Looks pretty cool as well, though I'm really struggling to use it effectively against bosses - I haven't been able to upgrade an Odachi yet though, so it's probably an issue of being too slow for its damage output at the moment.

Duration of magic effects scales with your magic, so it's possible they nerfed the base amount and increased scaling to balance it out a bit. I can't wait to play this after finals next week.

From what I can tell, her main gimmick is that once she's in living weapon you can't ever Ki break her. Which annoys the hell out of me. I hope I'm proved wrong and someone Ki broke her while she had living weapon up.

Run like the wind buddy. He closes gaps really fast but you can dodge a lot of his poo poo. He is kind of relentless though and that's what I found most difficult.

Protip for those worm head guys: some of them will fight you as a regular human until they take some damage. While they do this, their stamina drains normally but because they're yokai it doesn't regen. SO, if you just dodge and block them for a while you can get a free big punish on them while they're out of stamina to start the encounter.

I got torn the gently caress up by centipede guy like twenty times before I almost got him. After a few more almosts I summoned and it was still close. Getting caught by some of those combos is enough to kill outright if they all connect. I like the fight though. It's frustrating getting basically one-shot by the same move after making good progress, but each part is blockable. A summon tanking won't last long though so it's really about playing volleyball with him. I almost posted last night that the new weapon type is my loving jam but I've drifted back to my trusty raikiri. This game at 60FPS after horizon and DS3 DLC is beautiful to play and I've been parrying like a boss.

I just can't read the Centipede read's moves. I'm dreading facing him on POTS and POTD. Also, finally got my gear back up to a decent level - building around the Unrivaled Warrior set, as I'm in love with the Odachi. Tome is maxed out from all my splurging though, something I don't know how to feel about.

Revisited Shigezane for the Crusher badge, and wow, he really does not like onmyo builds. His early attacks are telegraphed and surprisingly short-ranged, making them easy to bait and dodge, and once I'd set up the necessary (Sloth, Weakness, and Confusion, with Fire and Water as the ingredients for maximum pain), I brought him down in a single long, stance-dancing combo. Unfortunately, I lost the video, but I can try replicating it on his sub-mission if y'all wanna see.

Do it without magic! And ha, just noticed Oni pull a  face when you break their horns.E; pvp is awful but I'm having tons of fun regardless. E2; Tome has a full set of her own cobat and idle noises, including a unique death squeal during sepku. That's a mad level of detail. poptart_fairy fucked around with this message at 19:23 on May 4, 2017 |

I started a new character because I was bored with my skill/magic build and wanted to start from scratch rather than respec and farm up new gear. The odachi is really not bad on NG once you learn it's movesets and timing. The high stance quick attack into low stance heavy attack combo owns human sized opponents. I had a little trouble with yokai until I just learned to use low stance quick attacks on them , it smashes horns pretty easily.

I wouldn't say a "lot", but if they're wearing it then they're going to be using a specific build. Kinda why I'm so annoyed Shadow Haze got nerfed but that spin left untouched.
