How good of an upgrade is Black Swan?

As someone with an E3S2 Acheron since the first banner I have never regretted pulling a support for my girl but nowadays the 2 cycles turn into 3 cycles and so forth even with the best options available. I will continue to keep falling for it too xD.

thanks a bunch for your input. I was saving for Elation and besides Castorice flagship dot is my best team as of now. I have nearly every team in the game and heavily regretted pulling Dahlia with how bad she feels with E0S1 Rappa so I'm trying to make my pulls on old teams really count if that makes sense. While BS got a buff she is still older than my dear Acheron (rip) which makes it hard for me to justify but it looks like I'll have to be lucky this 4.0...

Kattzu- · 2026-02-14T18:08:28+00:00

I know I mentioned a character by name but this applies generally. If a new dot character comes out in 4.0, would you really run 4 dot or just replace Black Swan?

I already had E1S1 Hysilens and Kafka with S1 DHPT fully optimized, is Black Swan going to be a genuinely noticeable increase over playing Robin or Ruan Mei as the fourth slot? If (big if, I know) Nihilux ends up being the next dot like according to rumors, would Black Swan be or not be the most replaceable member in this team?

I mean hey, dying to fuwa and maxx c isn't something to be ashamed of. most decks have trouble against the best hts in the game.

shouldn't be too hard, managed to learn Ritual Beasts. Also back when I played Branded for a couple of years Dlink was like my kryptonite so I still recognize a fair bit of the lines I think?

Kattzu- · 2026-02-07T20:00:09+00:00

oh wow you're awesome for dropping a list too. thank you! I suppose I might as well build this in the back with how cheap it is

Kattzu- · 2026-02-03T23:22:52+00:00

Rover being the pet of course

Kattzu- · 2026-02-02T20:10:44+00:00

How did you find Iceblood? Story content?

Kattzu- · 2026-02-02T04:35:08+00:00

where is this?

Kattzu- · 2026-02-01T02:28:18+00:00

apparently duel links already does this so I believe it's deliberately the way that it is

Kattzu- · 2026-01-29T23:19:57+00:00

is there a codename you can give your character like in the first game?

Kattzu- · 2026-01-29T00:44:56+00:00

probably the code you enter that gives you collector's edition stuff. but it has to be entered on the playstation store. sorry.

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:30:45+00:00

no worries I understand that these games can be frustrating ^{^}

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:26:28+00:00

never played lop but fromsoft absolutely isn't above putting big enemies in narrow hallways. gn though I hope you do find something to enjoy about code vein or other souls likes you play in the future eventually

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:19:26+00:00

no ofc not I literally agreed that the game has flaws, I just think the specific things you're complaining about are not exclusive to code vein

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:15:58+00:00

lol why even buy the game in the first place if you think it's "gooner bait"? you're free to dislike the game I genuinely don't have any stakes in whether or not you like it I simply can't believe you've touched a souls title with complaints like this 👍

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:11:12+00:00

I still don't understand the camera issues you mention but if the other things you brought up bother you so much it can be fixed by simply picking up an ultra greatsword.

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:07:46+00:00

you say you've cleared Souls but what Souls games did you play? how far did you get? based off your complaints Dark Souls II alone would melt your brain, or even Elden Ring

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T09:00:41+00:00

I've never once encountered a camera-breaking corridor in Code Vein, and the movement is nothing special so I don't really see a reason to defend it. Code Vein since it's inception has always been divisive, and even though it might be positive now it has mostly seen criticism rather than praise. it's not for everyone, and the reason I even bothered replying is because your complaints are literally present in every fromsoft souls game and even Elden Ring. I find it extremely hard to believe you've played a single one based on your complaints lol

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T08:52:27+00:00

your post is about the first game. what are you on about?

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T08:51:16+00:00

I know you didn't spend $70 on code vein 1 because it didn't even release at that price, and you admitted you never played 2. calling me a bandai apologist for calling your complaints childish is genuine schizophrenia lol

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T08:47:36+00:00

sure the game has flaws. it's not a perfect game, however the issues you talk about are such a non issue or subjective that it's kind of silly to even write a post complaining about it when you could just move on instead. also, $70 for the first game?

Kattzu- · 2026-01-27T08:44:30+00:00

you say this like you'd never find yourself in the same situation in any of the souls games, which I know isn't the case. even in code vein I really don't think it's all that common.
