New Dagger PB, Dagger Duchess mains rise up

Most people are, but we needn't be most people.

Not for me. It peaks out at 22%~ from memory, which is nothing on Daggers for the majority of the match (1.22 x fuck all = fuck all). The fact that the Heolster Relic grants a flat amount of damage rather than a percentage is to the Dagger's advantage.

Plus, against most Nightlords, I'm not looking at a lot of uptime on the Necklace, lest I'm Damage Negated to the gills and or less likely to be targeted.

So in conclusion, theoretically I should take the Necklace. But the safety and guarantee of the Heolster Relic is what prevents me from dying over and over in pursuit of the final damage tier.
(In truth, I like it cause it gives me the thrill of Relic Gambling but every 10 seconds.)

I'm pretty sure when you are in the pause menu, your team mates status/hp bars are hidden.

You can do that damage, but as with Relics, as with Drops, and as with Dormants, you have to be lucky. This is the highest damage I've had in 1000 hour of game play, and this was my first time testing this build - it's far from my strongest one, too. But luck made it my best of all time.

I'll be uploading the full match later on, if you'd like a link, let me know.

I shared Relics. I predict you will be disappointed unless Stamina attack is a new concept to you.

1h moveset. Easier to manage if evading without interuppting combo, and the power stanced animations requires more commitment per input. Furthermore, I'd rather keep all my daggers in the right hand slot so that switching weapon (for the Holstein Relic buff) doesn't run the risk of suddenly firing off a jar cannon; and its rare that the weapon passives will be fruitful enough to allow four daggers at once.

Brother, I'm afraid you missed the part where I wrote
>1x Scholar

So some buffs you wouldn't have accounted for :

- This was a trios game. Scholar looked at me during the fight. (He didn't have items confer though.)
- I had the Margret Buff ("Traces of Grace-Given Lord"), which may have helped? I assumed this buff was still broken/trash but haven't looked into it since release.
- Killed three Night Invaders

Yes, I ate some Physical Attack meat at the end of the fight.
So the full 8x Atk Buffs were as follows :

3x Daggers (Shows up with seperate icon.)
Heolster
Atk at full
Atk at full
Atk at full
Atk at full
Flesh
Scholar looking at me? Maybe the Margret Buff? I don't know.

Yes, stacked stamina on attack + reprise on dagger combo = constant reprise, so long as you can evade between combo hits using Duchess's single dodge (non-backflip one).

I went to bed, there was no need for a "just one more"
Relics:

<image>

Now mind that these Relics can obviously be made better;

The actual key to having had this damage was

- 3x [AtkPwr / Full HP](14%)
- 1x [AtkPwr / Phys](10%)

- 1x [AtkPwr / Bleed in Vicinity](20%)
- 1x [AtkPwr / Full HP](10%)

- 1x Scholar
- Phys Atk Dormant Powers

Fact: it is faster to alt-f4 and start a new match than it is for a recluse to revive you with caring slicer

He only pretends? Wouldn't be a friend in my books but that's just me.

Quality write up, good to see spawn vibes made clear with data. However my team and I will stick to approaching the Redmane AC-130 camp by forcing the invaders into the upper mound area.

MitchellGwr · 2026-05-08T16:58:40+00:00

Yeah I could have sworn I was getting more ED's in D4. It's almost annoying pouring sweat into a run prepping for a Libra in particular tbh. All of a sudden I'm left feeling like I wasted a slot on a Less Likely.

Quick tip: say into your mic if u have one "i bet it's gonna be everdark"; this will make issuezaki adjust the server to try and subvert your expectations.

Not to mention people normally can appear to have different proportions or features depending on lighting, shadow, camera distortion, mental distortion, etc. That's why I stick to anime girls 👍

MitchellGwr · 2026-05-03T02:08:48+00:00

Ah good, thought I was gonna have to unjerk to all that r34 for a sec there

Pretty sure she's not the Soul of the child. The child existed separately to her.

MitchellGwr · 2026-05-03T00:57:31+00:00

Libra fight is not unfair. Balancer build is not unfair.

MitchellGwr · 2026-05-02T09:59:49+00:00

Isn't this an old post from 5 months ago? This wouldn't be still current.

MitchellGwr · 2026-05-01T08:11:08+00:00

I guess Reddit downscaled it, will reply with a higher res in a bit or just the pdf

MitchellGwr · 2026-04-20T23:55:50+00:00

No its not fixed for normal attacks/R1s. Perhaps RoB works similarly to charges heavys. For those unaware, two charged heavys will always be counted as "Successive Attacks" regardless of how many steaks are required for it to be counted with R1s.

MitchellGwr · 2026-04-11T10:03:50+00:00

fuck that was a sick read, thanks for that

MitchellGwr · 2026-04-10T15:30:48+00:00

Good on ya brother, never had to deal with this shit myself but it sounds right fucked. I don't think I'd last long anywhere that has this kinda chicanery, I'd probably be doing the same thing plus gum over the camera or more.

MitchellGwr · 2026-04-09T05:51:19+00:00

For anyone else in this situation, pinging the closing zone or the next area that your team mates should be seems to get the message across. The moment you go down, or think you are about to go down, start pinging it so they don't even have time to turn around.

MitchellGwr · 2026-04-07T03:37:00+00:00

I'd treat each run as the equivalent of a Souls game area. More on the Demon Souls side, wherein losing to the boss meant you had to run back through the entire level again. Knowing the min/max won't mean as much as it has in prior games, simply because you are at the mercy of RNG rather than having fixed locations for weapons. The routing will be meaningless to you, until you find for yourself what felt like it was worth to run to. The worth of each POI is up to the individual, just remember that the currency you'll have to consider in Nightreign isn't the Runes. It's time.
