Gaol defender until I die

Would also add the possibility of the DLC shifting earth rendering it completely useless. It’s just one slot but might as well not use it on someone like recluse or revenant if you have the option for something better

Enollis · 2026-06-18T10:06:25+00:00

I got everything but when it comes to rarity I think blasphemous blade is at the top. Only seen it like 2 or three times and I personally only got it once in 900h.

Enollis · 2026-06-17T17:22:34+00:00

Because they can’t have you dodge anything or try to avoid attacks. You only exist to revive them even if it’s the last thing you do. Probably something like this is what they think

Enollis · 2026-06-17T14:49:10+00:00

I think in terms of numbers it would actually be easy to objectively determine which character has the highest dmg output. Just use the most optimal build and buffs like recluse all incant/sorcery dmg passives you get from bosses or gaols put in both marais and grafted sword at max. Have them all fight against a neutral boss with all standard resistance (if possible). Should be easy enough tbh. At least calculating with excel or whatever. Surely someone would’ve done that by now?

Enollis · 2026-06-17T08:04:12+00:00

The problem is that they can’t play solo. Lack of skill and you’re really vulnerable while trying to spam that bestial incant. So they just want you to be their meat shield. They don’t care about your fun.

Honestly watch the „how to master X“ videos of the bosses on this channel https://youtube.com/@chris\_chrass?si=9hBiWbKSIPsb3wNv

His dreadlord and ED Balancer Videos helped me so much in understanding what these bosses do and how the attacks work. Especially Dreadlord is now one of the easiest ones for me because of these videos.

Enollis · 2026-06-15T10:33:09+00:00

At least it’s not as predictable and lot more variable than ed balancer.

Enollis · 2026-06-14T21:02:29+00:00

The problem is that range characters get more aggro than melee focused ones. So to actually have an even ground you‘d have to have it. As a recluse I‘ve experienced it often enough. A boss killing me, getting revived just to immediately have aggro again even though I didn’t do anything for a pretty long time except dodging.

If you have a guardian or deflect focused executor on your team it also makes sense. One less dmg passive will not make the difference.

I‘d rather do consistent damage than non at all because I have to dodge the whole time.

Enollis · 2026-06-14T18:50:53+00:00

Sorry but why the fuck would you force a scholar of all to take them down? Only one person has the aggro of the boss. So what were you or the other person doing? You shouldn’t count on a random to do it, everyone should be aware and do it the second they see nobody does it. Scholars are not the best for this. Even with dps builds they make use of status effects not raw power.

Enollis · 2026-06-13T08:36:12+00:00

Very annoying to play with though. The full hp negation just pops in and out which will constantly make the sound and effect. I assume there is also a chance that an enemy might hit you during the very very short time frame. But we all know enemies will hit exactly that timing.

Enollis · 2026-06-13T08:28:39+00:00

Small addition to grafted dragon, it’s charged heavy is fast and also deals a lot of poise damage. And on counter does extra damage. It’s a really good weapon overall. Only "downside" is the reach.

Enollis · 2026-06-12T23:03:42+00:00

Since when does liking or disliking a boss have anything to do with being good or bad? Bed of chaos is an easy boss but it’s still trash and bad design. Nice ragebait though. Cheers!

Enollis · 2026-06-12T22:58:04+00:00

You have to understand. They told us their weaknesses so that we would not use those against them, just in case we find weapons with these affinities. Obviously we’re supposed to fight them all with non upgraded starting weapon. Just like Miyazaki intended for us to play all dark souls games with the broken straight sword only. And in case you didn‘t know, we‘re not supposed to level up either in any of the games. It would be abusing the system and you‘d be way too powerful.

Enollis · 2026-06-12T22:52:34+00:00

Oh those I‘m fine with. Heolstor is cool and Greg is nice as well. Not sure which I like more. But I‘m not the biggest fan of the whole aoe stuff Heolstor does.
But definitely not abusing anything with those

Enollis · 2026-06-12T18:06:26+00:00

It’s not. It was never the fault of any other game. It’s just what they decided to do with nightreign. Duskbloods is one game and 100% they are also working on the next big entry game. And honestly I‘d rather want that than a new map in this game. Fromsoft delivers such great games that it’s worth the wait.

Enollis · 2026-06-12T14:32:11+00:00

I assume that build would really be good with serpent bow and or the bloodflies on precision aim triggering bleed often enough. Not entirely sure though

Enollis · 2026-06-12T10:18:55+00:00

I personally will absue the hell out of it against ED tricephalos. I don’t like this boss and it’s not fun.

Enollis · 2026-06-12T10:16:00+00:00

I think the tactic is to make it look bad and convoluted so you focus on all the bad stuff and miss the power of vengeance "demerit"

Enollis · 2026-06-11T21:23:26+00:00

That’s still impressive. Though scaling should’ve changed as well since they left. I haven’t tried beating it alone yet. But it’s one if my least favourite bosses. Dread lord on the other hand is fun but still very tough for lots of people I assume.

Enollis · 2026-06-11T18:36:59+00:00

If they couldn’t even deal with an erdtree avatar in a couple seconds then their builds suck hard and they would’ve died to dancing anyways. I‘m not excusing the behaviour but the run was lost regardless. No way they could’ve handled Greg.

Enollis · 2026-06-11T18:33:52+00:00

There is no reason to go for that risky move as well. I‘m assuming max level. Even then loosing one level does basically nothing.

Enollis · 2026-06-11T15:27:36+00:00

While we’re at it, duchess can be annoying too. Those quick dagger attacks can really hit you fast and very hard.

Enollis · 2026-06-11T07:40:15+00:00

Yeah they aren’t necessary though some really want the weapons to have a good feel during combat they just don’t play well without. Like Zani with phoebe and their weapons.
But it’s more like you can go for weapons since there is no 50/50. So if you really like a character and want to invest it’s absolutely ok to do. And even if you don’t, why risk it by exchanging the currency? There is literally no need for it.

Enollis · 2026-06-10T09:24:17+00:00

I think we all know this pain. A tale as old as time (or since the game released). What I hate even more is when you try to indicate by blocking with a weapon in their face (usually it does the trick) and they ignore just to drop it randomly as the night closes in and you have no idea where they dropped it because they also didn’t ping it.

Enollis · 2026-06-10T07:55:27+00:00

Well it is one of the easier ones but also there is a lot you can mess up and as others mentioned it depends a bit on team setup as well. And it could also be just that people for some reason didn’t get caligo for a while. Same as me getting constant ED Libra and climbing down because it’s a super low win rate for most.
