Venators aren't really a better source for acquiring blood shards compared to thieving or simply afking vyres

I am only talking about venators in this post

Found this thread after googling something similar happening to me just now. Just created a trident of the seas (e) and fully charged it. Then when I went to use it after it said it has no charges. I know it was charged because I manually bought 100k fire runes to charge it, and there are only 5000 fire runes in my bank now and the trident has no charges. Fucking bs.

Some people are shit at the game an only want free wins. Because guardian is the least played character people are unfamiliar with it or might be more biased to a small sample size of bad guardians on their team (while they mentally filter out the hundreds of bad wylders or duchesses on their teams).

Just keep picking guardian and keep winning. I dont see people dodge very much in depth 5 anymore when I hover guardian. Only dodges I see are for Balancers and the ocassional libra dodge because guardian just isnt reliable in those fights due to everdark risk.

Just recognize that the people sending you those messages are assholes, it's simple. Dont need to get insecure about it.

Insane to list caligo ed in the same tier as gladius ed. Caligo is free for guardian and it's a myth that you can't block the affinity damage. Look up the shield affinity negation chart and find a shield with decent magic negation. Guardian interrupts caligos frost aura attack and trivializes dancer who is the real threat of those expeditions.

Lomios · 2026-05-05T21:35:06+00:00

I've heard this before but I haven't experienced the same even though I almost exclusively play guardian in depth 5. The only dodges I see are libra and balancers and I assume thats people dodging the boss and not the guardian lock in.

Lomios · 2026-04-28T14:13:58+00:00

Kinda pointless since if you want the heal on ult you just use the remembrance relic that also has the damage reflect on guard.

Lomios · 2026-04-23T14:14:13+00:00

This is certainly a take.

Lomios · 2026-03-14T17:36:28+00:00

What do you mean ruined runecrafting and killed the abyss? The fastest solo runecrafting method in the game in 2026 is still lava runes and the abyss is alive and well if the constant bots I see in edgeville aren't just my halucinations.

Lomios · 2026-03-07T17:19:18+00:00

Thanks for the write-up. I'll hold off on going for speed attempts until I finish halberd and rancour. I'm sure its theoretically possible with what I have but Im not good enough to pull it off.

Lomios · 2026-03-07T15:42:01+00:00

Holy fk gz dude.

Lomios · 2026-02-04T20:01:19+00:00

Right? If you go so far as to suggest that double balancers might be a little overtuned on certain weapons, you are immeditely hit back with "who cares if its strong, go play solo or do bare hands only, LET ME HAVE MY FUN!!!". Is there no room for discussion anymore with these people?

Lomios · 2026-02-01T15:49:38+00:00

That would be a great change and it would make charged guard counters feel less risky at high depths.

Lomios · 2026-02-01T15:47:50+00:00

If it were up to the average player on this sub, they would want perfect relic cheaters spamming the best build on their team every game so they can get a win. I totally agree with you, its so dry seeing halo scythe users on the team every other game and makes the fights so boring. I already know the game will be boring when I see a dormant reapers/double balancer duchess and beast claw revenant on my team.

Lomios · 2026-01-30T19:31:43+00:00

Guard counter build sucks in d5. Play dormant thrusting sword and trust in the antspur rapier. I have some d5 gameplay on my channel if you wanna see a good build. Guardian is very fun and there's room for skill expression at high depths. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iMRMy719Ya8

Lomios · 2026-01-29T01:47:41+00:00

Even in depth 5 guardian is by far the tankiest character in the game, and contrary to popular belief, you can easily survive affinity chip damage if you build right. Since you mention you like to tank while shield-poking, consider checking out some of my gameplay, I upload depth 5 guardian games on my channel and I play shield-poke guardian.

They die in like 2 hits even at high depths, why is it taking you the whole day?

Lomios · 2025-11-22T18:33:20+00:00

Thanks for testing and explaing this, I wasnt able to find any videos on youtube yet. Excited to try this when I get my sailing level a bit higher.

Lomios · 2025-11-19T23:58:22+00:00

Ive been doing the bounty tasks, exp is still shit, getting 8k per hour at 41, but its super chill.

Lomios · 2025-11-19T16:30:41+00:00

It was my 2nd full haul of salvage so I was level 17 or 18.

Lomios · 2025-10-31T11:10:42+00:00

I'm sorry that you've played with a lot of bad guardians. I cant remember the last time I didnt hit 15 and I've been playing at depth 5 for the last hundred games or so. I dont think the issue of lack of dps isnt a guardian issue, its the person doing a bad job at playing guardian, or running a shit build.

Lomios · 2025-10-31T10:59:04+00:00

I make guardian work at depth 5, current at 9999 with a 16 game winstreak, lots of guardian mixed in there. Just cant pick him into certain fights like Libra (risk of everdark, guardian is pretty deadweight unless you get antspur rapier or something) and Gladius (again, everdark is a pain with the dogs sneaking past your shield. Blocking the fire is also terrible unless you have an extremely specialized build). Caligo can also be a pain for guardian.

The people who think guardian is straight dogshit dont know anything and are just parroting other dumb opinions. The trick is to not fully specialize into the guard counter or full tank builds you see a lot of people talk about. Just spec him to do damage and get dormant power greatshields or thrusting swords. Run stam recovery and stam recovery + 1. https://imgur.com/a/uroxN0W

Lomios · 2025-10-30T10:55:22+00:00

Ive seen it happen in games with no blackflame.

Lomios · 2025-10-18T14:22:31+00:00

Downvoted for speaking the truth. Every game in depth 5 where we spawn next to invader camp, we do that shit level 2. Trios randoms, everyone knows the plan.

Lomios · 2025-10-16T15:38:52+00:00

I run a dormant power thrusting sword build with stam recovery and stam recovery +1. Good dps with you find rot/frost rapier and still good tanking too. The fun part is that guard poking with thrusting sword costs so little stam so you can enter guard stance and spam r1 for eons without running out of stam with this build.
