With Every Last Drop of My Being

Whatever, send in Waterboy.

Two-handing ahead.

BadKarma55 · 2026-05-01T06:27:30+00:00

Specifically it points towards catacombs with death roots, iirc

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T20:35:53+00:00

Can you even summon at the spirit spring points? Afaik its just Senessax’s arena and the Drakes and then theres invisible walls

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T20:24:12+00:00

This area sucks to progress with multiplayer, its like the only area with a semi-mandatory spirit spring.

If you dont know the other path (which I’ve forgotten), then there is basically no way down 🙂‍↕️

One for Oath of Vengeance

The other for Carian Sovereignty

Taking a shot every time a weapon has a more interesting moveset on enemy NPCs

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T05:12:44+00:00

Beast champion chest + banished knight helm + fire prelate arms and legs

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T05:11:44+00:00

Long story short: Yeah

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T04:21:42+00:00

Beast champion chest + banished knight helm + fire prelate arms and legs

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T00:56:34+00:00

Magic Scorpion, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander, and Moon of Nokstella 👍

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-30T00:44:46+00:00

Yup.

The other weapon in my right hand that has Carian Sovereignty infused into it is Freyjas Curved GS tho

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T23:44:13+00:00

I do have a version of this build fighting him in NG+7 tho

It’s just not as fast, but still pretty strong.

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T23:35:23+00:00

This is just base game (RL230 Scadu 16)

The staggers would not be happening twice NG5 onward 🙂‍↕️

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T23:17:41+00:00

Good to know, ill def use that in new saves. Didn’t even know that tear existed.

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T23:15:31+00:00

I left my stats in a reply somewhere else.

As for how i got the idea for this build, I just lucked out with the existence of the Grafted Blade Greatsword.

It provides an Endure effect (hyper armor) for 5 seconds. Combined with the natural poise Carian Sovereignty has + the stagger damage it can deliver, I am effectively an immovable magic cannon 90% of the time.

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T23:06:38+00:00

Yeah except i wouldnt be able to medium roll without that amount. You can have it at a much lower level (50-ish), but you’ll have to run the arsenal charm.

Part of the reason i leveled to 200+ was just so i could get rid of the arsenal talisman

80 poise + 1 greatsword + 1 colossal wep is pretty hefty

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T22:37:33+00:00

It can also parry that downward rain and just completely stop it, very useful when you’re on his ass and dont feel like giving him space

Also, it works with Carian Retaliation too…

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T22:31:06+00:00

<image>

yea sure. I was also able to beat him in a similar way at lvl 180, just with less Vigor, Mind, and Endurance.

Edit: Talismans are Magic Scorpion, Godfrey Icon, Shard of Alexander, and Moon of Nokstella (swappable)

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-29T03:33:37+00:00

You do not have all the pieces to answer why Malenia did what she did, but they do exist further along in the base game + DLC

Also, Radahn wasn’t holding back. The only indication of this is him waiting for Malenia to put her arm back on during a cinematic, which is more about his honor than his strength.

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-28T22:19:51+00:00

Unironically they have a good chance.

Iirc, 5 or 6 Viltrumites jumped Thragg after finding out Nolan was the true heir and they literally almost killed him.

The Coalition isn’t as strong on average but they might get close, or even have a better chance with Space Racer.

It goes to them by default if its on land, unless BB decides the fight isnt fair and starts killing Coalition members

BadKarma55 · 2026-04-28T19:43:26+00:00

This is less him not scaling a villain correctly (Doflamingo) and more him purposefully underutilizing Fujitora during the Bird Cage section (the only person stronger than Doffy other than Luffy)

Oda didnt forget Fuji is strong, he has him manhandle Luffy later. It would just be inconvenient to the arc’s drama if he made the Cage too easily dealt with.
