Happy new year, guys! I hope had a nice celebration and could meet up with friends or family (offline or online) :).
Not sure if I’ll be playing any soulslike this weekend. Finished my recent Sekiro playthrough a few days ago after first-trying the final boss (😎), and now I’m stuck playing League again D: Oh well.
New year - new soulslikes! What upcoming releases are you excited for? Nioh 3, Mortal Shell 2, Lords of the Fallen 2 (yikes)? Let us know!
I’m playing Elden Ring, started having succes parrying with a shield, who would have thought!(recently did the rellana fight with the buckler shield and it was a game changer, much more enjoyable like that… )
Anyway. I’m not really excited for a new release, as I usually go with the patient gamer approach.More excited to dive into sekiro, get on with nightreign, etc.
Happy new years to all of you, may this year be fill with great moments in gaming and otherwise for all!
Oh hey, I picked up Sekiro too! Haven’t booted it up yet but my own Elden Ring buckler run has gotten me excited for more parrying
Same, still haven’t booted it up. I have graet expectations for the game, (but also myself) heehee
Hey I created a parry character in the last 6 weeks or so, fast roll so knives and low equip. Its very fun!
Also just started playing the Nightreign dlc. I haven’t played the new characters yet but I like the new content so far.
Do you have a main in NR?
Oh cool! Have you tried the deflecting hardtear? If so how did you like it? I’ve tried to use it a few times, without success :P, (haven’t done elden ring with parrying until now, Shield has been ok But I think I might have been too slow for my hits to register as guard counter with the deflecting tear… Idk, this particular character is not really a parry build, i do have one but it’s too early game for that)
I haven’t played nightreign that much but Wylder and Executor are the ones I’ve played the most, both I really like! How about you? Who’s your favorite?
I haven’t played with the hard tear, I’ll have to go try it out.
I’m like a hardcore Executor. I’ve played other characters remembrances but he’s my favorite. I’m pretty good with him, as far as Executors go, I love playing different builds on him, but I think I will like the undertaker class.
I can’t get past depth 2 though on Deep of Night so realistically I’m probably mid with him even though ive logged a ton of hours.
He’s very fun, great moveset and the high arcane lends itself for cool build possibilities. a bit squishy but, can’t have it all. I can’t say I’m like good with him yet, but hopefully I’ll get there . :P
Definitely squishy lol. I get a lot of value from the the everdark caligo relic which has phys damage negation, frost on weapon and atk + vs. frost: and the augur relic that increases HP. That usually is good survivability for exploring in a solo run, or maps that I’m still learning.
I tend to play like a status tank, face me and I’ll take everything you got and dish a little out. Turn away and I’ll start freeze bleed ya.
For a third relic, something with seppuku is really fun, I like to hit myself with seppuku 2x-3x, hit my ult, use his L2 special attack right away, then the boss is staggered and youre standing there with a blood blade. This makes stamina up really good with him too.
Mostly I try to stack damage negation passives on pick ups, and I love playing with guard counters too. The undead legion or holy burst with counters is a ridiculous passive ability, but anything that activates when walking is good too, you can just stand there with suncatcher out and getting passive chip damage while tanking enemy hits.
Suncatcher is super underrated as a playstyle, but takes some practice
Alright, you clearly know what you are doing so, don’t mind me I’ll be in my little corner furiously taking notes. X’D
