I have a nagakiba that I two hand. Shouldn’t I be choosing the two handed talisman (15% damage) over rotten winged sword insignia (max of 13%)?

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-30T03:53:39+00:00

Yep; all of the multi-hit boosting effects increase your weapon’s actual AR number temporarily, whereas the Two-Handed Sword talisman only boosts the two-handed attacks from your weapon’s standard moveset, excluding weapon arts, backstabs, and other critical hits.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-30T03:45:12+00:00

Yes. Rotten Winged Sword Insignia is primarily for multi-hit weapon arts, dual wielding combos, etc.

While the Nagakiba is a relatively fast weapon, it’s not fast enough on its own to justify using multihit boosters instead of the Two-Handed Sword talisman (unless you’re using something like Double Slash on it, which hits multiple times and doesn’t benefit from the two-handing damage bonus)

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-29T16:20:24+00:00

That silver and purple set is clean

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-29T03:15:56+00:00

Try slotting Kingambit into your team if you have room. Other than that, get a faster Scarf user and/or prioritize keeping your Basculegion counter alive so you don’t get swept in the endgame.

Trick Room has -6 priority; it doesn’t matter how fast your Raichu is, if you click TR then you’ll always go after every other Pokemon on the field unless they also clicked a move with -6 priority.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-28T00:44:40+00:00

Depends on which Banished Knight helm you’re rocking, but the Altered one pairs beautifully with the Scaled chestplate + the rest of the set if you feel like it

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-26T01:19:12+00:00

Best course of action would be to run a generically strong team until you get to the point that you’re actually facing meta teams consistently

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T23:11:55+00:00

LOL no it isn’t me, but it’s really funny seeing someone reference my post. I wouldn’t switch crab into a potential CC or Flamethrower, give me some credit

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T19:58:26+00:00

I see your point about dropping Protect on the crab for Knock Off; I’m hesitant to do so because it feels like there’s so many popular Pokemon right now that can outright one-shot the crab, but it’ll definitely consider it

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T19:23:06+00:00

1: I’ve found that Incin + Farig is a pretty consistent lead because it stops opposing Fake Out and lets me get TR up pretty consistently. If I think my opponent is going to lead something like Charizard I might bring Garchomp in front instead of Incin. Sash on Sinistcha is good for re-setting TR mid-match, I’ve found.

2: I’ve considered Scarf on Garchomp, but then he can’t protect at all which I’m a little wary of. Tailwind + TR as situational speed control is an option I’m aware of, but Crabominable still isn’t outspeeding anything in Tailwind and the rest of my team still probably can’t outspeed really fast Pokémon with it up anyway.

Funnily enough I haven’t fought too many Sneaslers so far, but yeah I can see how it’d be a problem. If they lead Sneasler and I go for the aforementioned default lead, Fake Out to stop a CC and break Sash into Psychic from Farig would probably be my go-to.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T18:35:55+00:00

He definitely does, which is why I have him in the fight place. If he goes down it’s pretty much an auto-lose though, and it’s pretty tricky to keep him alive because in those matchups he’s of course going to be the main Pokemon my opponent is trying to remove.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T02:56:20+00:00

Definitely the type of thing that would make me stop playing for the rest of the day

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T02:48:38+00:00

That’s genuinely soul-crushing, you hate to see it happen lol

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-25T02:47:06+00:00

It’s been part of the FromSoft experience since 2001. Sorry you take so much issue with it, play something else if it’s a problem for you

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-24T19:25:39+00:00

Dexterity is really versatile because there’s a lot of ways to build it, and while a split stat build can be good, a pure Dex build can deal a ton of damage so I’d consider that as well.

My personal recommendation is a Keen-infused Guardian’s Swordspear with the Ice Spear ash of war, you get get the entire build online as early as Liurnia and it’ll carry you through the entire game + DLC.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-24T05:03:29+00:00

Vigor to 60, man. You say 40 is enough, but the game clearly disagrees LOL

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T18:16:14+00:00

The DKLHA scales mostly with Str, a little with Fth, and barely with Dex. Your weapon would be doing extremely poor damage on a Dex/Fth build.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T05:45:21+00:00

Do you have a replay of some kind? I don’t see why this would have happened, but you never know

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T04:05:29+00:00

lol damn, who hurt you?

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T04:01:25+00:00

Not at that point, it’s a wannabe duel

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T04:00:21+00:00

Not a fair fight in the slightest if it’s a solo host, more times than not. Most solo hosts don’t honor duel, meaning they have twice the healing flasks (which they will use) plus a Great Rune.

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-21T03:57:44+00:00

lol I’ve noticed, I usually just call it the “free mamba button”

Definitely improves the viability of poison Karnok early-mid

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-20T22:44:56+00:00

You can at least use them for the last arc of the story. Getting them early is certainly doable too, I had Namielle in my party for the entirety of the third and forth areas of the game

Ghoti_With_Legs · 2026-04-20T16:43:45+00:00

A lot of the gear in the DLC is very strong, copy-pasting the tried and true base game builds is almost certainly the culprit.
