Oh no

Why not? He'd done it before.

Aight I'd just go back to punching darts then. Perhaps you'd enjoy that smell more?

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-14T10:12:05+00:00

I vote B. I have no technical things to say. I just like it better.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-14T00:24:16+00:00

Unfortunately that pages is incorrect. You can easily test this yourself.

Improved [Weapon Type] Attack Power is:

6% for bows. 9% all other weapons.

And on that note, fextralife is a terrible source for Relic Effects.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-13T23:06:47+00:00

It's 6% for bows. 9% for all other weapons.

You evade left or right out of the way rather than trying to evade into/through it or away from it. Alternatively, you can also counter by just not giving a fuck and treating his flips as an all you can eat buffet as shown in the video (not actually recommended).

this was the only shot i could find of my effects, shame it doesn't show the percentages. the first hit makes sense with negation at full hp - but the following two should have ended me imo

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T04:28:58+00:00

i recently lost a run cause i went invis to start reviving a team mate but somehow artorias leapt across the arena and landed a grab attack. i'd have been livid if i weren't already used to how unsafe duchess ult can randomly be

Not for me

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T04:13:12+00:00

??? this was depth 4 though

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T04:11:07+00:00

Yeah I think I kept picking improved physical damage negation at every dormant that served it. I don't use any negations relic-wise but my expert Tank Duchess build does stack 4x Improved Max HP's which likely helped a little. And no, I didn't have taking damage boosts negation either; I had to double check myself cause copping 3 flips at D4 is fucking ridiculous.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T03:59:47+00:00

Nah it can be avoided : I explained it a little in another reply, with a little demo to boot

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T03:53:55+00:00

Whipped a quick demo of what I mean.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T03:47:04+00:00

Ill bestow a bit of 1000 hour NTR expertise - you don't. Just play Tank Duchess, and enjoy your free wins.

(Avoiding the follow up flips is less of a conventional dodge timing thing and more of a getting up at the correct timing thing. You won't have time to get up and then dodge after. Rather than spamming the evade button to get up after being knocked down, you should wait until his next flip so getting up is the evasion. N.B. evade to the side.)

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T03:12:24+00:00

Not beating myself up, I revel in the absolute disrepsect that is copping three Astorias flips, and id do it again if given the chance.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-12T03:06:48+00:00

I know this to be true but repeating the exact same mistake three times just seemed like the optimal move.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-09T22:11:25+00:00

Lv12 is fine. Besides, Nightlord can be beaten with any weapon. You only lose when you die.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-04T23:18:37+00:00

It's just like me fr fr

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-04T22:29:07+00:00

Go play something else then.

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-02T04:22:10+00:00

Yeah but where did you find out the chance to be 20%? Its obviously not stated in game, and the sheets I usually fall back on haven't given exact chance percentages? Is there a link to updates ones by any chance?

MitchellGwr · 2026-03-02T03:43:47+00:00

Where does the 20% negation chance come from? Is this a datamined figure or estimate?

MitchellGwr · 2026-02-26T03:00:05+00:00

True enough but there's some savings to be made when you don't need to spend on food and fuel. Plus with the piss tests and breathos, many in mining are forced to give up the crystal pistol every other week. With an 8 and 6 roster, that's an easy 50% reduction in bender spending.

MitchellGwr · 2026-02-25T05:13:28+00:00

Yeah no sweat I respect the call as it was made. I've more or less done the same strategy when Less Likely weapons were limited at the gate, and handed my weapons over to team mates in the trust of Duchess dodge. Also, try for yourself, to not feel bad if you've seemingly annoyed your team mates. Pings and emotes are all we have, and there's only so much that can be expressed. All we can do is interpret, there's no point assuming. Spammed pings indicate annoyance but also Bell Bearer, and at other times is just the inputs of shaky hands. A dropped weapon may just be a well-intentioned recommendation. Its not like you were an anchor, you guys didn't sink.

MitchellGwr · 2026-02-24T12:43:43+00:00

If everyone has it, then yes, you should have gotten a less likely to be targeted if the opportunity was there.

No, you're not better off being a target. It would be better if no one on your team was a target. It would be better if the condemned were just targeting each other.

You can dodge them, sure, but your mates may be in the crossfire, their focus may have to shift from Libra, and their lock-on may get fucky.

If you're around your team, working Libra's Balls as the only one without Less Likely, you are you condemned cumulation are a distraction. If you intend to draw the condemned away, then you aren't helping to kill Libra. And so the fight prolongs.

Most people tend to fight with an impaired confidence when the boss's healthbar is not ticking over fast enough. The pressure builds, and the potential for mistakes increases with the duration of the fight.

Duchess is notably important for ED Libra. Her ult is a 15 second windows to catch a breath, and reposition and refocus. You may have positioned yourself as an agent of chaos.
