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!

    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
