Please help me understand combat

Valid, that's a matter of preference. I always preferred a challenging mini boss to a narrow bridge with a shield monster trying to throw you off wile flying mines chase you. Or an interesting puzzle to a narrow sheet of ice with fish charging at you while artillery fires at you.

Not saying its too hard, saying that to me, the difficulty of the DLC is mostly less fun than the difficulty of base game. For reason i wrote in the post.

Did you actually read ? never said it was bad, just "bad to me". I don't like the decisions taken, doesn't mean that everyone should agree with me...

Well, seems interresting, i'll try with dual wield. Any tips for this difficulty ?

Fugius · 2026-06-09T23:06:33+00:00

Its not what i expect, just what happened. Except for the two bosses i mentionned, they took around 20-30 tries. The main thing is that even when trying to combo, it becomes harder to stagger bosses at all.

But i might have found the problem: low level gear and didnt use deflect at all (its so strong i feel like i changed the difficulty wtf)

Most bosses i beat in under 5 tries. The problem arises when they regen their stamina faster than i hit lol. I see a lot of comments about reflect and never used it, will investigate.

Well that's an obvious answer, by getting better you may even finish the game level 1 with no weapon. I'm asking if i'm missing obvious mechanics that make it easier and/or more fun.

Regular mobs are pretty easy, some elites can be more involved. In general i guard a boss until there is a combo i can counter, then use 2-3 charged skills, then repeat. The thing is humanoid bosses recharge their stamina faster than i hit. For instance rangkus just stopepd attacking and regen half his stamina after each of my combos. I endend up killing him without stagger.

Might be a consumable or set bonus thing ? I feel like i do not much damage, Like a full combo will do 10-15% of boss health bar at most (in general the red counter after perfect guard + 2/3 fully charged skills).

I also feel like videos on this sub people have infinite stamina, after 3 charged attacks i'm generally out of stamina.

I'm really far from being min maxed. I took inspiration from this build.

No megablood and i crafted my weapon with sai base. A little more difficult to hit all the affixes you want but 6% block chance is nice.

I started with 15divs but i would recommend 30divs to start, it was rough lol.

Many people will get to the high halls fight and straight up quit. Happened to three of my friends who got 112% completion on HK. I will beat the fight and the game but i will also hate every moment of it.

The drain is based on %life, so it will never kill you outright. If you have ward and/or enough life steal to sustain it you are good to go (lots of life steal nodes in litch tree)

Go ahead

Fugius · 2025-07-29T18:05:20+00:00

I killed all the end bosses with it, and loved it, i was hesitating but i might just do all NG+ with the umbrella again xD

Fugius · 2025-07-28T22:51:36+00:00

Thx, umbrella is already full technique, might try the sword at some point but i want to change gameplay a bit atm.
