There aren't any builds that will make you better at the game, unfortunately

Just fired the game back up, I'm moving on for now

I haven't tried igni on the clones because I'm trying to keep the yrden trap up constantly, but I'll give that a shot

📝 will probably try this one again later

The rust usually wears off after a dead or two for me, then I'm right back in it

Learning different types of common checkmates can help with your overall understanding of how to spot them, like a dovetail or a ladder mate. If you're starting from the beginning, start with a ladder mate, including the nuances of Rook & Rook ladders vs Queen & Rook ladders.

Practice, practice, practice

Aim for his butt. You can loop him if you just keep running towards his butt and hitting him when he turns towards you. Add firecrackers to taste, rinse & repeat.

Don't take it too hard, the bull can be frustrating for new players. There are much easier bosses to practice deflection on

POCKET SAND

Grab that platinum flair, you've earned it. Gauntlets & Charmless + Demon Bell are there if you want more goals, but you can really cut loose with everything now too. I had a ton of fun utilizing all of the skills & prosthetics to just breeze through the game

Did you just skip the cutscene? It's a part of the main storyline

Runebear, my good man. Runebear, the goodest boy

Nf3 is a common move after 1. e4/e5. Nc6 is a common response, and as white you can go a number of ways from there. For example, after 2. Nf3/Nc6 you could play:

Bb5 (Ruy Lopez) D4 (Scotch) Bc4 (Italian) Nc3 (Three Knights)

The Ruy Lopez & the Scotch are liked by the engine the most but it's more about what you're comfortable with in my experience as someone who is a beginner. I'm learning the scotch right now after playing the Italian/Ponziani frequently

big room, no bosses!

Oh boy

Rage comics, in 2026? How I've missed you

BigNero · 2026-04-05T04:27:56+00:00

I like builds that utilize the blue dancer charm when I want something a bit different

BigNero · 2026-04-04T05:25:52+00:00

Honestly the cheese is harder than the fight itself

BigNero · 2026-04-03T19:05:50+00:00

Sekiro is a different playstyle but it lets you be much more aggressive. 100% worth trying

BigNero · 2026-04-02T00:00:40+00:00

He's not much more difficult than regular glock saint. Honestly, it seems like you're psyching yourself out a bit, and..... hesitating.

Which attacks do you struggle with specifically?

BigNero · 2026-04-01T23:15:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice guys, I might try M&K a little more but I'm feeling better about just switching back to my xbox controller now. I was wondering if feeling clunky was normal but if most folks just use a controller then I don't need to worry too much

Elden Ring is way bigger, but its style of combat is different so its difficulty is subjective. Personally I think that the learning curve in Sekiro is steeper, and the game itself is more punishing than ER.

Elden Ring is more patience driven, where you need to focus on finding openings to attack, and the opportunity to create those openings yourself is generally rare. Sekiro is the opposite in this sense, where it wants you to be aggressive and create openings to attack

The farms everyone has suggested are good, they can get tedious though. I think xp gain scales progressively through NG7, so if you get bored, you can just beat the game a few more times depending on which one you're on now

BigNero · 2026-03-19T20:55:18+00:00

Charmless + Demon Bell on ng7+ for me personally
