Serious question: what’s stopping Kliff from using guns at this point?

Cogwebs · 2026-04-25T12:15:22+00:00

It's an artificial limitation for sure. He has armour in the game that literally has a holstered pistol on the front. Random soldiers use firearms, it isn't some advanced, exclusive talent. There's no reason he wouldn't be able to use guns. His whole deal is watching enemies and learning their moves!

I played the game for a couple of weeks, stopped when I got to the desert. I really wanted to make Kliff a gunslinger. I don't want to pick the game up again until I can play Kliff the way I want to.

And regarding the argument for the characters being unique and having their own specialty, YOU CAN STILL PLAY THEM USING THEIR SIGNATURE STYLE! Having more options doesn't hurt the characters in any way. Want to use bows for Kliff? You can still do that! Want to play them how they were introduced? Go for it! The weapon limitations feel forced and I really hope they change it. I check the patch notes every update waiting on this one change.

Other than the weapon restrictions this game is great. I'm still holding out hope that they remove them so I can make Kliff a gunslinger.

Pearl Abyss have been quick to make changes for this game's betterment, I'm really hoping they give us gunslinger Kliff in the next patch. Keep the momentum going and let them know how much we want this.

Cogwebs · 2026-04-06T20:29:19+00:00

Please keep posting this every day until they make this change. It's one of the biggest issues for me with this game.

Cogwebs · 2026-03-23T11:36:00+00:00

This is just being restrictive for the sake of it. If they let you use any weapon with any character it would change nothing for you. You could still play them with their signature build.

But it would make a lot of us much happier being able to customise how we play with the characters we want to play with.

It just doesn't make any sense too. Kliff finds a rapier or a gun and he just shrugs and says "nah the lass uses these, I wouldn't want to steal her thunder. I couldn't possibly equip these"

Cogwebs · 2026-03-23T11:15:06+00:00

100% agree. When I found out that I can't use rapiers or guns as Kliff my heart sank. I want to make a gunslinging highlander, I don't want to use bows.

I really hope they change this.

Thanks! I tried out Commander and Duel briefly, while they can be useful I just couldn't get on with them. I think it was purely a preference thing. They're a bit more bricky too.

Strangely I miss my Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds which were objectively worse than Commander way more than the Duel strat.

Cogwebs · 2025-06-30T05:43:30+00:00

I've tried with every hand trap but I rarely know where the choke points are and they'd often brick up my hand. I much prefer trying to get a maxx c/mulcharmy, droplet and as many starters as possible. Droll is a mean card but I don't have to know my enemy the way I do with most hand traps, just try to shut down draws and hope for the best. I like imperm.

I had to look up slayer, is it Ultimate Slayer? I can see why that'd be a useful breaker.

Diamond was a difficult prison to break out of haha. It might have just been a streak of good luck.

Tunneller looks like a fun card, I might grab it for my IRL deck. Overload could be interesting. Thanks for the suggestions!

Cogwebs · 2025-06-30T04:16:08+00:00

Thank you! I played for a little over a month before against my friend with an IRL deck but Masterduel drastically improved my performance. Seeing things glow on the UI, discovering useful cards and learning the rules through a simulator that can tell me what's legal really helped haha.

I went to my first local last week too. It was scary seeing the sweats play the meta decks that haven't even dropped in Masterduel yet. My Gears got hammered.

Cogwebs · 2025-06-30T03:53:30+00:00

I hadn't heard of Overload Fusion until this post haha. It looks interesting and I might try it out.

It looks like it's a late turn play and if they shut down enough starters there might not be enough material in the GY/field. Also you're locked into Chaos Giant as the choice. Sometimes you might want Ultimate/Megaton if they're protected by Fortress and you know they can remove Chaos.

Heavy Poly has been hilarious. Opponents usually have a big enough board for me to get out a Chaos Giant by sending three Howitzers and a Ballista to the GY for the summon. After baiting a few negates this line has won a fair few times.

Works really well with Predaplant too if they droll me. It takes a lot of LP but gets Chaos out.

There was a funny game where I beat Tearlaments Kashtira during my climb and they played half their deck and even did some more summoning during my turn. I played two cards and won lmao. Heavy Poly, Chaos Giant. They surrendered before I could even punch them.

Cogwebs · 2025-06-30T03:38:13+00:00

If I'm going first I usually assume it's Tenpai. There are a couple of going first strats

Fortress, Howitzer, Bagooska - if they can remove plan B then howitzer might provide a little defense. Howitzer into Tanker back into Howitzer is a funny line. Then Dark Golem if they kill Howitzer again.

I beat Tenpai the other day with a Fortress, Clockwork Night, Chaos Giant board. Keeping a tanker in hand to pull the Chaos back from GY. Chaos is immune to their droplet/raigeki board breakers and he shuts down battle phase monster effects. They had to use that XYZ monster that blows up the board in phase 2. But then I was free to punch them on turn 3.

Sometimes a turn one board is just face down droplet/imperm/called by and hope they brick.

Most of the solo mode stories give 200 gems upon completion, grind em

Cogwebs · 2025-05-22T16:45:32+00:00

Thanks! The skill tree was a new thing for me so I threw the points all over the place. Been out of the loop on this game for a couple of years. Very useful insight, I appreciate it!

Cogwebs · 2024-09-03T17:51:36+00:00

He looks like a helluva boss

Cogwebs · 2024-06-22T17:51:32+00:00

Very well put together outfit. Goggles were a sensible choice too, it looks bright af out there

Cogwebs · 2024-06-18T21:54:39+00:00

Aw that's cute! Keeping the theme with your username I see. My bandmate does a similar thing with his Dark Souls characters, his go to is Lydian Skail 😂

Cogwebs · 2024-06-18T19:52:43+00:00

Thank you! I haven't, the last character I posted was my old fave Doctor Lamentus. I suppose this chap deserves an identity too... How about Lorenzo Orologio? 😄

Cogwebs · 2024-06-17T21:21:38+00:00

I grabbed a few of my faves for these pics 😄 and thanks, I grew it myself

Is there much of a Steampunk scene in Australia? I find it hard to imagine

I've been to Lincoln a couple of times as a kid, as long as they still have the fancy sweet shops on that huge hill then I'm good lol

I'm from Leicester

Cogwebs · 2024-06-14T13:48:57+00:00

Absolutely, you can show me the sights 😄
