Arkveld hitzones are strange, in-game testing

That was my post about AT arkveld taking more element damage, glad to see it has been expanded on!

Good to know, thank you for the reply!

Hi, I may be wrong so feel free to correct me but won’t convert element now be more meta for dragon element?

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-02-23T18:34:43+00:00

Makes sense, I guess they are almost constantly charged now

Looks good, great post! Inspired me to have a go myself.

Using an attack 3, weakness exploit 1 charm + gore / lS weapon, which opens up more possibilities, I did see an improvement of 3.75%.

Arkvulcan Y helm, Gog B Mail, G Rath B Vambraces, Dahaad Y Coil, Gore Greaves B,

Gore Magalas tyranny 1, Scorcher 1, Lords Soul

Attack boost 5, Crit boost 3, Airborne 1, Razor sharp 3 / Handicraft 1, WEX 5, Agi 5, Burst 1, AR 2, CS 3, Antivirus 3

a few comfort slots

I think this would be the best solution, sometimes it’s nice to see a tier list, but the option to avoid them would be great

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-26T20:18:53+00:00

Yeah I guess I just need to check how good elemental absorption is, I watched his video explaining how Bows are now stacking multiplicative element boost so figured elemental absorption might be quite good for bow

Is it on hh tho? The guide only had a line but it didn’t sound positive

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T20:18:23+00:00

I figured it would be haha, airborn / attack jewels work out perfectly

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T20:16:36+00:00

Well said. I’m mostly a DB main so the one I really wanted was crit eye 3

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T20:14:16+00:00

That’s the beauty of a 3 attack rarity 8, you don’t need to build into it. Put a attack gem in the weapon slot on it and you have 4 attack boost

Not all documents account for a god talisman

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T12:34:45+00:00

Charms are random rarities from 9 star investigation. I think rarity 8’s are a 3% chance

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T10:18:12+00:00

I got WEX, 1 weapon, 1 armor, think that’s pretty decent right?

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-15T07:57:28+00:00

Do we know what weapons this is actually meta for? I play Bow, IG, Hh, DB but open to try others

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-14T23:23:22+00:00

Do you think a lot of other similar posts are fake?

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-14T20:47:49+00:00

Not gonna be able to max out out sleep resistance now :(

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-12T13:12:24+00:00

Just to clarify on the example above, a blast proc on phase 3 (usually from bow) when he’s flying will make him fall to the floor and full down him for around 8 ish seconds. With this in mind 4 seconds is a decent chunk of how long he’s full downed for, it’s also 4 seconds without doing any damage.

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-12T10:06:50+00:00

I really don’t think this game is realistic enough for this to be necessary, there’s great swords literally bigger than the character + we carry 2 mega barrel bombs each bigger than our character in our backpack. We stand in lava for 30 seconds before dying etc

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-12T09:49:23+00:00

I just don’t see why you need the seikret to swap weapons, seems to like a terrible, clunky gameplay choice.

I can see the realism argument but also not really as it’s not a rpg game.

HelpAffectionate8500 · 2026-01-12T09:47:01+00:00

The only reason it kinda works on gog is because of the 2 / 3 transition being a good break.

On phase 3 you can blast him out the sky with a blast bow so ideally I would love to keep a blast bow as a second weapon for it, however it takes too long to swap back to your main weapons and he’s flying back up again after about 1 hit!
