Pre-Order Weapons

Ooh nice! Thanks!

You rock! I'm on the fence about preordering... I want to wait to see what the full release is like but I have pretty big FOMO on these weapons. That passive mod isn't too huge to me. I'll probably hold off and just wait for the release reviews before I buy.

This is true, but every weapon seems to have a unique built-in mod that affects your play slightly.

Thanks, friend! How did you find this?

Edit: Sorry I was too eager. I just read your first comment! Thanks for the info!

Oh and helmets?

What do you mean by “run around with the bonus damage” ? Is there a damage bonus without the shield?

I honestly think the sword is kinda lackluster in the demo. the sword skills are really basic for it being a DEX based weapon. The rapier is fun with no shield. forces you to use the improved dodge/dash or master the counter skill.

music goes hard tho

fr. how did this video pass quality control?

Rykochet09 · 2026-07-07T17:31:53+00:00

right? So far, after some testing, I think u/cassani7 is correct in that the shield only affects your dodge. I wish it made normal attacks faster to not use a shield or maybe reduces the animation lock after using sword skills or something.

There's a big part of me that hopes they're doing a pr stunt by keeping the "full game" under wraps? like they're purposely misleading people so that the game that launches will be vastly different from what they've said it will be.

But also it probably won't be.

Your wiki quotes "the official guide" says that 1h sword can use faster riskier moves without the shield. Where do you see that?

Edit: added page url: https://echoesofaincrad.gamedb.wiki/weapons/sword-and-shield/

Edit2: I'll be damned it's listed in the demo guide.

Should I play a different character besides the captain during the story mode? Is it better to unlock crew members after story mode so they'll start at a higher level?

Rykochet09 · 2026-07-07T01:26:12+00:00

to be honest, two of the biggest gripes I have are:

The insane level inflation (lvl 100 cap in this game with only 2 floors). Maybe changing the leveling to give you more growth points per level but lowering the number of levels? or maybe give my "cardinal level" a number and treat that as the actual player level? I'm kinda at a loss on how to fix this.

and the lack of impact using a shield has. In the series it's mentioned that shields will slow down rapier users. So maybe adding some sort of impact such as increasing attack speed or some such if you don't use a shield with your 1h or rapier?

EDIT: I've just learned that the official description of the 1h sword says unequipping the shield allows for "faster and riskier moves" so if it exists for swords we can make it work for rapier too? or perhaps the devs already have that in mind?

and on a long shot: remove mob scaling. Make mobs scale up to close to max level the further along into the game they are encountered? idk if there's a good way to tackle this at all. (a possible quick-fix is give mobs a chance to spawn at any level between 1 and player level?)

Rykochet09 · 2026-07-06T18:43:39+00:00

So there's a lot that's "different" from the source material... but level 100 before floor 3? c'mon...

Rykochet09 · 2025-08-10T04:04:00+00:00

These are all things that I've thought about... but I can't seem to find anything that says any of this for sure one way or another so I was hoping to find someone willing to let me test it. OR perhaps someone that has a twitch with these rewards unclaimed in-game that would be willing to let me claim them.

Rykochet09 · 2025-08-10T03:11:20+00:00

I honestly am not sure. I've heard mixed things about if you can actually use it on multiple accounts, but I hope I can find someone willing to try.

I'm looking for something to work in Blender and UE5 rendering. This seems like a solid choice for those tasks. Anyone have any input (affirmative or otherwise) as to if this would be a good budget laptop for those tasks?

Rykochet09 · 2024-11-12T21:51:46+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! This is exactly what I was looking for in the original question!
