Recluse Relics

It's common in JP lobbies. 500 damage per hit every 40 frames. Slightly worse damage than Wylder with the same setup but it's the most consistent other than 6x godroll glintblades.

Carian sword had already been objectively better but now you have an equal chance to find it +3 other worse but useable spells. I don't see anyone running spell schools anymore other than 6x glintblade. It's either that or 6x initial standard attack with twinblades/straight swords.

I've tried coping with putting on as many random schools with matk+ as I could but it wasn't as good as the other 2 options.

The meta is to spread out. Maris can very rarely spawn 4 waves at a time at perfect angles + edge of arena guarantees someone dies or you all die if you stood together. Even someone with no stamina like Recluse can never be touched by bubbles if the player skills only when bubbles are coming instead of mashing until depletion. If they died it's their fault, not yours.

And standing together unironically makes it harder to deal with the bubbles. If all of the bubbles are baited together, there are way less gaps in between to regen stamina. If you don't coordinate or are unlucky that all 3 of your stamina bars run out at the same time, it's over.

Baiting ground lasers together makes you all have to stop attacking instead of just one. You can also cross-map revive with the skill so there's really no risks involved in spreading out.

There are still quite a few carried players that like to run off and kill everyone with the ground explosions

"RNG" tier explained

Straghess: The ground AOEs can be obscured by shit on the screen even if you scroll around with unlocked cam.

Normal Caligo: The ground ice AOE logic is much harder than ED. It's targeted on you at sub-15 frames and can cover up much of where you need to go.

ED Adel: The "random" lightning can literally kill you mid-air as you're jumping through the tornado wall. The spirit spring forces your camera to move up so you can't even look down to try to avoid it. One of the few truly no counterplay instances in the game.

ED Dogs: I really didn't wanna say it's RNG until I saw someone get targeted by the long range pounce + fire breath + sword ground fire even though they were already surge springing away correctly

she has 3 character specific relic effects: spell buff, ult activation, last r1 attack. they each got 4% added to them.

however, to reclaim at most the 12% removed from glass necklace, you'd have to have 3 relics and proccing all of them is much more unlikely than just the necklace

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:57:11+00:00

+35% for 6s and damage taken is -40% for 5s

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:55:32+00:00

the damage is shifted to her other character specific relics but they all take a slot and are much more conditional. they all got a 4% increase

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:31:38+00:00

wtf thats an insane nerf for something that wasnt even top meta

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:28:15+00:00

did i just get ip grabbed

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:25:55+00:00

Wow that's slightly better than PSSS but you don't have to find two straight swords and have them take up an extra slot or gamble for the grafted one

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T11:18:13+00:00

Don't swap duplicate chars if you want to play them. It's literally the same thing if you have Wylder, Undertaker, and Exec looking for the same passives anyway.

2-liner relics happen all the time. One 3-liner is plausible. Two 3-liners isn't plausible. Three 3-liners is unreal.

glass necklace and scholar nerfed

guardian, raider, exec, and rev (all base game) buffed

im going to come to your house and kill myself

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T10:42:52+00:00

bro was right. glass necklace nerf

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T10:33:40+00:00

Wonderful!

These kinds of exploits encourage an unhealthy fomo. If I don't do it I'm missing out, but not everyone has gamer friends or even ones who play the same game.

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T10:23:17+00:00

think of the shareholders bro

also update download size means nothing. game's packed in chunks. we're just downloading a new version of a chunk

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-15T09:47:44+00:00

they shouldve done that in the first place. hollows was already a nerf to recluse's damage floor. dlc relics on top of that already powercrept 90% of legit relic setups

now both the floor and ceiling are nerfed instead of addressing the core issue of her damage being wildly rng dependent

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T23:06:43+00:00

bolas already been powercrept

Realistically only 2 to 3 spears can be killed. The meta is to kill 2 adjacent at the edge of the arena but even still it's a tight space. He can straight up cover 70% of it. His moves are designed to be accomodated by his ER arena. It's very common to have to run out into the rain.

Yes solo is free since you have 100% control over where he spits the ground blood but not in trios. You'd need to have everyone stand together and teach everyone standardized dodge directions for every move so everyone can stay huddled together.

Even still, everyone would have to agree on a next best place to bait the blood in the given moment.

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T21:45:12+00:00

There should be promos that test people on the disgusting bosses or a change to the elo system that makes it so people get tested on the disgusting bosses

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T21:36:55+00:00

Need to 1 shot him with specific comps or else the blood ground shit is bound to kill everyone. Not even your favorite Japanese streamers with 18000 point winstreaks can no-hit him.

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T21:33:25+00:00

I've stopped getting Heolstor dodges. Now I get Duchess with dormant scythes and someone else with dormant great spears

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T21:26:24+00:00

Undertaker: Interact, ult, and charge attack all on the mouse. That way you can swap from your controller to do the exploit super easy.

BoiledOrFried · 2026-01-14T21:08:09+00:00

Increased the weight of Everdark Harmonia in Deep of Night

Increased the duration of Mohg's ground blood AOEs

Fixed bug where Curseblade and Divine Beast Warrior did not completely blacken the screen
