You can stunlock those guys with a single R1 swing from a twinblade. They only get the crazy poise during certain attacks. Rest of the time they’re a joke. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I do gotta appreciate that they both managed to make your character have the most movement than the previous games, not counting sekiro, and also made it the most difficult, also not counting sekiro lol. Ngl I had a few moments where I felt cheated lol, was saying to doc the ai is almost too smart xD But you have plenty of ways to go about killing stuff, especially outside.

Back in the old games, I only ever felt cheated by ai input reading when a shield hugging enemy would only attack when I tried kicking. Looking at you Lothric Knights with Spears.

I busted my ass playing on my first playthrough by playing it like I usually play Souls with a little Incantations sprinkled in. Then I started mixing it up with other builds and holy shit is it easy to annihilate most enemies once you have a grasp of all your options + how to work the map! * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Actually if I could make a single request and it be implemented, I'd want there to be no input delay on rolls. It's soooo fucking subtle but there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you nail down how to work it, it can actually be to your advantage. It's slight, but the speed of a well-timed release is faster than the speed of a press. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to nerf rolls in a game where hyper precise reactions are demanded, then do it by increasing roll stamina consumption. But I agree they did it on purpose. Too many attacks artificially roll catch based on the roll delay for it to be a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think there is any attack pattern that can't be successfully rolled with good enough timing. Granted, for a few enemies it requires very precise timing. Arguably to a BS extent depending on how beholden one is to the git gud philosophy. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If they didn't purposefully design roll catching the player through this mechanic. Then From should have added a toggle in the options menu, like they did for jumping in ds3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always use BHS or the invincible shield ash of war for those attacks. It's timing is insanely demanding otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably the most BS enemy attack in the entire game. Yes, including Malenia’s waterfowl dance. At least Malenia is supposed to be the be-all-end-all "prove you’ve mastered the game" super secret optional final boss. That guy? He’s sitting right smack in the middle of the game and guards the only entrance to a key story area that 99% of new players are going to conceivably be able to find without help. He was another instance where I realized how busted sorcery builds are. I struggled with him on my first playthrough, then went back with a sorcerer and fucking flattened him first try despite being much lower level. Same for most bosses. Magic is busted in this game. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glintstones, blades, spirit summoning, meteor showers, ice moon bombs!!! Enemies won’t even try to dodge the Selian night sorceries! They’ll just walk in your direction and let you smack them in the face with no defenses until they die. And even if enemies are resistant against magic damage, you can just switch to a gravity spell and hit them in the face with a giant fucking rock! * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
