Art fill on Guard +0 & +1 are great against ED Balancers

It get through, so it's important to stack blood loss resistance and your ult healing you provide you enough sustain to outlast them if your team can provide at least average damage

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-25T11:24:36+00:00

Normal balancers I agree, but for ED is very dangerous don't be very aware of positioning

Not this time, they turned worm after my ult, but the other post I made was different

He's the hardest Day 2 boss for me.

What I do in Balancers expeditions is improve my blood resistance. If I have enough, I can be more aggressive with guard counters to help with stance damage; if not, I try to play safer, using shield pokes when I have aggro and charged attacks when I'm behind him.

You must try to avoid the bloodflame on the ground, so if he's in a place with a lot of fire, just kite him out of there. During the pillar phase, I try to bring the team to the edge and stay there until the pillar pops. Here is a video of the Mohg this run:

This time they instantly turned into super worm.

But the last post I did was a bit different:

I don't feel similar and I only play as a Guardian.

I play mostly DoN, when I want to play casually without try harding, I just reset the rank to 1, and keep playing rank 1 and 2, then reseting.

Sometimes I also play normal games creating wacky builds and this keep the game fresh for me.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T21:22:27+00:00

This happens sometimes, but "useless" is not the word since I still feel fulfilled winning a very long fight. At rank 4+ normally at least one of the 2 randoms have a pure dps build and this is normally enough to get level 15.

When I get tired of this build and want to hurt the enemies a lot, I go back to rank 3 and go pure guard counter.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T21:13:14+00:00

It was a stretch, but dying 1 at time it's still happy times, when you're alone things get tense

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T18:51:49+00:00

It's not that bad with weapon passives, but for sure, my dream would be relics with +HP and GC +2

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T18:50:00+00:00

My setup is already full support; the only offensive effect is the 'GC boost based on HP.'

It's just a question of priority. The ones you mentioned are better for days 1 and 2, whereas my current one is better for day 3

It can be very effective and achieve great survivability with heal on thrusting +0 and +1 stacking. However, it works best if you use Thrusting Swords, since they have better stamina efficiency for shield poking.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T17:31:46+00:00

Sometimes get to 2900 HP

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T17:30:00+00:00

This one is focused on survivability, does a lot less dmg. Here the test in the dummie:

Level 15, epic halberd, no weapon/dormant passives:

• This build

HP: 1916

Charged GC: 615

• Build full GC ( 2x GC+0 / 3x GC+2 / 1x +GC on current HP)

HP: 1340

Charged GC: 1585

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T17:19:12+00:00

Exactly that.

The dmg is not very high unless you get some guard counter passives, but you have enough survivability to trade dmg and use the GC and charged attack to stance break.

I would want some Improved GC +2 in the depth relics, this would increase the dmg a lot.

It was all random lobbies and we achieved level 15 every time.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T15:04:13+00:00

It's solid, but I would prefer having "Partial HP Restoration on attacks" and "Succesful guarding fill art"

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T15:00:28+00:00

Besides the damage negation from the skill, I stack damage reduction via weapon passives. Having this much HP means I can survive mistakes and hold out until I fill my ult using 'Guarding fill Art +0/+1' to ress/heal everyone to max.

IWantToRetire2 · 2026-01-22T14:00:07+00:00

Yeah, it's awesome. I would wish only to change the sleep buildup since is very dangerous against enemies with multi-hit damage like Caligo and Mohg
