Thoughts on Magic at the bottom.īone-carved Kris is the best early -> mid game weapon.

It is the best weapon when fighting an enemy for the first time.

If you don't know this thing's move set well enough to dodge it, thrusting with the Kris and immediately retreating gives almost no opening to the enemy mob to exploit. Once you're sure you can dodge well, you can step in close with Kris's full combo.īuild: get 7 STR, then enough stamina for a sprint into range, full combo, and then sprint out of range, then 300 HP. Then 200 stamina, 400 HP, and the rest into more STR. This is because the Kris has a 1.2x STR multiplier from the start.Ĭrusader's Straight Sword (Normal) is the next and last weapon you need. Once you memorized an enemy's move set or has enough HP to afford making mistakes, you can step in close to an enemy to unleash full combos without being hit. Once you get here, Crusader's Straight Sword has a 4x combo, while Kris has a 3x combo, so you can have approximately 25% more dps when unleashing full combos. You can still long range thrust, actually, but the Th move (thrust) is the 2nd in the Straight Sword combo, so you could intentionally miss the first swing then use the 2nd move to stab over long range. Again, it's easier to avoid being hit if you thrust, sprint out of range, thrust again.Īn advantage of Crusader's Sword is that you have to switch to an INT build, which seems to help with magic. However, magic is still too weak, so don't get more MP just to get this extra side ability.īuild: weapon requirement first, then same as above except go into INT. Don't go ascension reinforcement path to get the Corrupted Crusader's Straight Sword, because that just gives 1.1x STR and 1.1x INT multipliers so while you could keep an STR build (no reason to do so btw STR DEX INT are only for weapon damage purposes), you're just weaker than a full INT build with the 1.2x INT multiplier on the normal holy version. Plus, the attributes of holy and dark are just very low. Still, holy is useful in the area you get the Straight Sword and the arguably hardest boss in 0.54 takes extra damage from holy.ĭefender's Broadsword is a mandatory side arm.
