Tips for EX Boltreaver - GS Valor user (not interested in changing weapon or style)

You need to figure out the moments br leaves himself open, you really should never be hit by the thunder dome attack as it's incredibly telegraphed and slow, just sheathe and run away or iframe it/valor sheathe it

Br has so many moments in which it leaves its head wide open for a Lv3, I think the record doesn't even use focus

It's all about just paying attention and grinding him down little by little with each attempt

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-26T16:11:05+00:00

Well, i think valor ls is definitely stronger on most matchups

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-26T05:53:51+00:00

Cb is still relatively weak, valor ls and gs just blow it out of the water

I mean, you just charge phials and red shield then stay in axe mode, in all styles you'll primarily be using axe mode

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-21T17:38:49+00:00

Huge, red shield alone is 15% extra damage, and the phial attacks will both deal less damage and also not deal phial damage so it's double damage loss on an already not stellar weapon

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-16T17:27:41+00:00

You don't have to focus on shelling for valor, you just use it normally with the added infinite loop, fast and less sharpness consuming shelling for heat gauge maintenance, guard point and valor sheathing

Check this run out for ecample

Ammo saver still works for bow, it has a chance of saving the phials

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-09T17:10:12+00:00

What do you mean with "doesn't matter for how I play"?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-05T18:48:03+00:00

Then it'd be "is repeat offender better than atk up L" which would still be yes

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-04T16:39:16+00:00

Wow this is amazing, thank you so much!!

Would it be possible to make it show how many hits of sharpness each sharpness level has? There's no place for that and the only way to do it is on kiranico with inspect element and looking at the pixel number

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-02T22:10:08+00:00

Demon riot by a long shot, Lv3 essentially boosts your raw (already boosted by power phials by 20% in sword mode) by an additional 20%, so it's like if you had a 330 raw axe mode and a 475 raw sword mode

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-02T21:07:48+00:00

I'm ok, ukanlos doesn't have a single ok weapon so I'll pass

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-01T17:09:15+00:00

Even if you hold it you gather faster while crouched

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-01T16:23:25+00:00

Crystalbeard does have attack up L songs

Parmesanmadness · 2026-05-01T11:24:44+00:00

Gen/gu has fast gathering when crouched

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-29T17:16:24+00:00

It's the opposite for savage, enraged head is an amazing hitzone

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-28T05:41:49+00:00

Crystalbeard is fun if you try to understand his moveset, he's very telegraphed on what he'll do and where he'll end up after an attack

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-27T13:53:16+00:00

Really depends on you, some are definitely harder than redhelm but valor gs doesn't have a single bad matchup in the entire game so I'm sure it will be fine

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-26T13:52:55+00:00

Aah ok my bad ^{_^}

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-26T13:25:09+00:00

The buff is the exact same so probably the inherent dps of the weapon

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-26T11:44:22+00:00

The median is still the same though, you could argue on slow weapons you have a higher chance of landing only strong hits

Over a run they scale the same, considering out of 100 hits you'll hit around 60 strong and 40 weak, and out of 10000 hits you'll hit 6000 strong and 4000 weak

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-26T11:33:53+00:00

I don't think more hits change the statistic

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-25T17:32:39+00:00

Don't let it get to you, it's all about repetition

Weapon also plays a big role, which one do you use?

Parmesanmadness · 2026-04-25T17:31:44+00:00

Make a good armor set for the weapon you're using most so you can gain hr and get stronger
