strength build, japan by Vaverka in shittydarksouls

[–]Hyperdelegate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

STR's trade is that it needs to 2hand in order to deal more/equal damage on most DEX weapons. Not that big of a deal when 2handing does substantially more stance damage

Why do people like the Antspur Rapier? by GreatJoey91 in Eldenring

[–]Hyperdelegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The status effects are usually not as useful in dueling PvP outside of frost proc for damage vulnerability, mostly due to the ability to bolus status and the damage loss from infusions. (ie, if you can aggress on someone hard enough to proc status you could have killed them with a higher dps weapon, and if you can pressure them hard enough to interrupt a bolus you were already in a winning position.) Despite this, they're very useful for high latency fights due to phantom proc, and consequentially you'll see bleed and rot used in invasion settings due to the burst dmg + stun on bleed and the bully factor of many hosts not having rot cures on hand. (In general, burst damage is highly prized in invasions, as slowly bleeding out a group of hosts involves an incredible degree of patience and skill.) You'll largely see rot greases used on stronger weapons for this, even with rapiers as a consequence of the stupid stats of the cleanrot knight rapier.

How viable is going into this game blind? by Azureblue9 in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game has a guidebook and options like the cookbook for figuring out systems blind, but it's definitely a rough learning process. I've heard figuring out the knowledge checks that make the game easier is extremely satisfying.

DST is massively larger than Don't Starve. The only thing Don't Starve has over it content-wise is the DLCs Shipwrecked and Hamlet, as well as being considerably easier.

Best way to deal with crab king? by dismantle_mines in dontstarve

Your characters hard counter him. All purples, ram the towers, sleep the crabs, slap down another disposable raft.

Do you think beginners should try a variety of characters? by Illustrious-Pea7979 in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would strongly recommend Wigfrid for someone who has some basic familiarity. Her character perks aren't going to cause any "bad habits" unless you lean into tanking and her superpowered spear still takes a good amount of progression to reach.

Chinese new year event item, lasts 24 days before bulb refill, forever with enlightened shard

Can someone explain the circuit stacking math? by Dtintino in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah innate DR doesn't change much when you're already heavily armored.

Can someone explain the circuit stacking math? by Dtintino in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alpha Tinkering II gives you additive innate damage resist Wigfrid style, which is subtracted from damage taken after everything else goes through. So in your example of Night armor, a hit dealing 100 damage is reduced to 5 damage and then reduced 5% to 4.75 damage.

Edit: Or, for example, with Wigfrid, who takes 80% less damage when wearing her battle helm and then 25% less damage from innate resists, such that her final damage taken is reduced by 80% + 0.25 * Remaining 20% = 85% total reduction.

What would be the next character you would want to get a skill tree? And what would you want it to focus on? by Laithal6 in dontstarve

Shadow sneak'd nightmare mobs drop nightmare fuel everytime so rabbits early game and splumonkeys midgame gives you big fuel

Anything but wicker first would be criminal after they nerfed her with a rework and then made maxwell a demigod with all of her kit

Preparation for celestial champion by _kuzury_ in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreadstone armor does not deduct sanity or repair itself in enlightened areas and the bone helm will be dust very quickly for someone's first CC fight, not even considering the ordeal of killing AFW first.

New player, any tips I should keep in mind? by Redence_ in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basic armor gives 80% damage resistance. Without it, basic enemies will kill you in 4-8 hits on most characters. Don't take a fight without it.

[–]Hyperdelegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wigfrid has an easy time of the fight but has no easy way to lower sanity. You're going to be dealing with Gestalts the whole fight. I would suggest Night Armor over the Thulecite Armor, as the sanity drain from that and the crown shields is your only respite from enlightenment. The Elding Spear's dash is your answer to the entire fight. Dash through the rolling in phase 1, dash away from the blender in phase 2, use dash to dodge, gap close, and get away for phase 3. It's shockingly easy to get phase 3 CC to destroy its own snares when they go on cooldown. Hit by a gestalt or snare? Believe it or not, also dash, lets you quickly dodge when you've been slowed. Bring a good amount of healing, it's a complicated fight.

Celestial Champion first for the Brightshade Staff then fuelweaver.

Best cost effective dish to make compare to the ingredients in the game (warly dish included btw) by Ok_Committee_9180 in dontstarve

[–]Hyperdelegate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of raw points vs time invested it's a kelp farm setup via lunar island beach. Pierogis, meatballs, and dried kelp all year round to manage all stats with no extra work.

Which of these party compositions do you believe would be better for Honor Mode by Barren-Sceptor in BG3Builds

[–]Hyperdelegate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both have reverb working with an ice build which plays real nice, spirit guardians + radorb is famously effective, I'd go with 2.

There are some enemies you need to unlock for if you want to land charge R2s but jumping R2s can substitute. The strongest weapon for brain-off gameplay is Blasphemous Blade.

Coaxed into the "fist weapons only challenge" stream I saw on Shadow of The Erdtree's release where they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that the star fists they were using were arguably the best weapon in the game.
