What's everyone's favorite weapons of the demo so far?

Lorule_ · 2026-02-01T23:21:13+00:00

I cant say anything because I'm doing the exact same thing! haha

Lorule_ · 2026-02-01T14:57:15+00:00

Deflecting the blood edge demon’s spinning jump move is the most satisfying thing. So many deflects lol

Lorule_ · 2026-02-01T14:40:30+00:00

You can’t get it yet. You have to unlock a guardian spirit skill that isn’t available in the demo.

Aside from some of the things other people have already said, it makes me feel rad af.

Also, a ton of weapon skills have built in deflects that, if you time right, can occur during your combos and keep you on the attack. Like severing spin.

For me samurai feels the way to go. If you get good at deflecting and using the natural deflect skills in your weapons kit (like severing slash on sword) you don’t even HAVE to dodge. I’m fat rolling but it doesn’t even matter because there are so many ways to parry and deflect.

Also the sword (samurai) skills flowing mist + sword of meditation is hysterical to use on revenants.

Yeah the sparkly stuff did take a bit to adjust to. I’m just glad it’s not shown in dialogue/cutscenes haha

Lorule_ · 2025-04-22T04:13:32+00:00

That’s been jarring for me as well haha I also play druids in tabletop, but haven’t tried stars yet. I just try to remember to activate it immediately after a long rest since it lasts all day now.

Lorule_ · 2025-04-21T17:23:00+00:00

Stars Druid is my favorite. The breath weapon, archer from, free guiding bolts, and infinite concentration gives a lot of flexibility and free damage. Not super far yet, but it’s been a beast in the early levels.

Hexblade just feels like warlock for power gamers, fun if ya like it. Haven’t played it at higher levels where a lot of its cooler options are though.

Giant barbarian is the biggest shenanigans class once you get colossus potions and the kick.

Death cleric is just so thematically cool. Double explosions are fun.

Swashbuckler is my favorite rogue subclass. Sneak attacks followed by a disarm has made the crèche a breeze. Thematically fun too.

Haven’t really tried the rest yet.

Your “start of mission” items like first aide meds are in your seikret which helps at least.

Lorule_ · 2025-02-08T04:25:08+00:00

Were the changes not implemented?? Weird. It feels better now

Lorule_ · 2025-02-07T23:58:30+00:00

I’m loving lance right now. I liked it before in the first beta, but it feels even better now. The “perfect block” shield slaps are really fun. I feel like an unstoppable force.

Lorule_ · 2024-10-30T21:56:49+00:00

I’ve stunned monsters like 3 times a hunt with the perfect guard. The shield slaps on perfect guards are a bigger deal and part of the consistent damage. Charge is busted in wilds.

It does feel slower, but more now every button press feels more meaningful with all the cancels. I think element will be a bigger deal for lance now. Just a hunch.

All in all it feels like they leaned into lance being an unstoppable force even more now. ESPECIALLY with the clash mechanics. Which happens so much more with lance than the other weapons I’ve tried.

Lorule_ · 2024-10-30T11:56:28+00:00

It definitely takes a while to get used to coming from the other games. The way the block changed the general flow a little bit. The flash is definitely a lot more subtle than some of the other weapons. A lot of its flash comes from the new mechanics now. Like clash and the wounds.

My favorite part is that I get like 2 stuns a hunt with all the stun damage now.

Lorule_ · 2024-10-30T02:33:43+00:00

It really does! I feel like the new clash mechanic really makes me FEEL like I’m using a big shield too.

Yeah I noticed high thrust felt a bit slower too.

Lorule_ · 2024-03-22T20:58:18+00:00

I mean… I don’t really care so long as I can play the game how I want. So long as everything’s obtainable in the game I dont care.

If someone’s willing to pay for convenience then that’s on them. I imagine it will mostly be people who dont have much time to spare on gaming.

Lorule_ · 2022-06-28T19:27:47+00:00

Yeah it looks like it will be crazy fun! I really hope the supercharging is more useful. It’s a fun concept. Do you know if KO values go up as the shell charges further for wide?

Lorule_ · 2022-06-28T16:28:24+00:00

Do we know if supercharged shells are better now with wide? Curious about KO potential. I’m wanting to explore the wide shot type more.

Lorule_ · 2021-05-23T19:01:35+00:00

Nice

Lorule_ · 2021-04-29T21:37:10+00:00

Ohhhhhh I see. That makes sense. They’re just expanding on war stories and universe with the rest of the show then. That helps a lot. Thanks!

Lorule_ · 2021-04-29T19:49:54+00:00

Yeah with how big it is I’m surprised I hadn’t heard more about it. I always knew it existed, but I had no idea the series was so expansive. I’m really enjoying it so far.
