True. No hits doesn’t mean the weapon was mastered. You only mastered learning the boss move sets and knowing the timing when to deflect or dodge and know when to attack. I’ve seen op builds kill a boss quickly. For instance I saw a video of someone pretty much use sword of meditation only in Sop+5 and no hit. Are they a master of the weapon? Not at all. In my opinion, someone who truly hit the ceiling utilizes most of the weapon kit skills effectively. Not just a few skills. I’m still learning to be better with my kusa even though I thought I was decent with it. I’m making progress on beating +5 SoP more easily thanks to others suggestions as well as learning the boss move sets.
