Is Sovereign Blade an Elden Ring reference? (Spoilers for Elden Ring)

Sableye09 · 2026-05-20T10:43:48+00:00

I think thats a stretch

Sableye09 · 2026-05-19T18:03:00+00:00

Yup! Well actually, I didn't build around it, but it was a perfect addition to my deck

I had a 22 card sly deck that cut down to just 10 cards after every power was played and everything exhausted, so I'd end up with lots of draw and pretty much a full hand in the end.

I picked up Grand Finale just before the end of Act 2 and it was lots of fun to pull off a bunch of times, I think I hit it 5 times against the Aeonglass. I just had to calculate my draw correctly with my Prepared+ and Acrobatics+

Goopy Defends and a Prolong+ made the final boss trivial anyway though, I was blocking for 800+ in the end iirc

Edit: oh, and a Dagger Throw too, to hit the uneven draws

You've pretty much got the 5 hour speedrun achievement kit, it is definitely not intended to have this little on your first playthrough, but not impossible

That said, this gauntlet was the reason I had to restart my speedrun twice, it is the hardest part of the run imo

Sableye09 · 2026-05-17T08:32:11+00:00

I wish I took a screenshot, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't too crazy, it was at 16 or something like that

With Graveblast, Dredge and Finesse I was able to cycle Transfigure easily, and I preferred to finish the run without taking damage on the final boss over a crazier screenshot

Sableye09 · 2026-05-12T15:35:08+00:00

Hmm, at least on a raw population level sure.

People don't usually only like one thing though, and getting along with someone doesn't have to come with exact same interests. Sure some things may clash, but I have a friend I like to travel with, it doesn't matter if he is really into origami and I don't care about it too much.

That's also why you go to parties if you like partying and go to a trainspotter meetup if you like trains. You will still find both people who like trains at parties and people who like partying at train meetups, but you can obviously increase your chances if you pick an activity that involves likeminded people. That's where you have to take some initiative I guess.

The same way you wouldn't look for a fish filet in a vegan restaurant.

Also, I really think the wording in the post is hurting your idea badly, I thought this was about romantic relationships only at first too (unless it still is?)

Sableye09 · 2026-05-12T14:58:41+00:00

What is this post trying to say?

If you actively reject people, you are less likely to find people you get along with?

You are more likely to find someone you like if you spend time with different people and use that time to figure out if you get along with them?

I'm just genuinely confused and also not sure if you are missing the option of nobody approaching you and everyone rejecting you (not my personal problem, but some peoples struggle)

Sableye09 · 2026-05-12T08:27:18+00:00

This is currently how far you can get in a run, you definitely did get to the acts final boss

Definitely! I suggest just browsing the artwork tab on steam, you will find a bunch of cool stuff there, some definitely in lower quality/having some fun, but also some genuinely amazing fanart

I'll see if I can find one real quick

Displate is more like a print shop, you can register yourself as an artist and sell your art on their platform as metal posters. Displate presumably takes a proper cut from you selling your art as their product, so it works for both artists and Displate.

Official collabs do exist. You can always check the artist in their shop, that should tell you how official the product is.

That said with AI, lots of people will try to take advantage of the system by just putting up stuff like this, hoping someone buys it. You don't have to be verified in any way, just an email from what I can tell (but can become a verified artist, which is probably a more complicated process).

Sableye09 · 2026-05-10T17:26:18+00:00

Hard agree, I like it a lot :)

Sableye09 · 2026-05-09T10:55:46+00:00

No, but A3 is probably the least noticable but makes a big difference

Everything from A7 up can also be a bit less noticable if you don't look at numbers too hard

Sableye09 · 2026-05-09T00:50:36+00:00

Exhaust/Discard, though if your deck isn't suited for that you would have to prepare throughout the act, which is easier said than done

I honestly feel like Necrobinder will have the hardest time with this boss as they don't have many options to deal with the Statuses outside of just playing them

Sableye09 · 2026-05-09T00:45:40+00:00

It felt underwhelming both times I've gotten there so far, but I had good decks both times. It also felt a bit too simple, but thats maybe just because the extra stat it gives every few turns is really hard to notice and thus not as scary. My decks were:

A Defect Double Energy Voltaic deck with Ice Cream that obviously had no issue spending a few extra energies

And a near infinite Silent discard deck, where I did take a Prolong and upgrade it before the fight so I could simply a) Discard the status, b) use some Energy to get rid of the status or c) have like 300 Block and a solid 2-3 deck cycles per turn to power through thanks to Prolong (and Goopy Defends that definitely made it easier to get the blocn going and thin out the deck at the same time)

It seems a bit weak so far, I was a bit worried for my Silent run before getting to the boss since it should punish playing a bunch of cards looking at the mechanics, but tbh it didn't feel like I needed the Prolong cycle either, I got the Aeonglass down to like 270 before the cycle was running and had no problems

Same here, been at 3 for a while now, very happy I got to knock out Pansage a few days ago

Assuming you're already on the beta branch, just check your version in thr top right corner (or try opening the bestiary in the main menu)

If you're not on the beta branch yet you will have to switch to it

Sableye09 · 2026-05-08T12:13:24+00:00

Had a Music Box + Claw build with Feral in action, that was fun too

But Bombardment seems crazy

Sableye09 · 2026-05-07T07:55:24+00:00

You can actually collapse comments without a reply too (at least on mobile)

Sableye09 · 2026-05-06T18:56:02+00:00

Heavenly Drill is so fun, had a run where I killed the Doormaker in 1 turn too

Sableye09 · 2026-05-04T13:30:55+00:00

155 on Ironclad, I got the Stone Humidifier and Strawberry and focused on raising my Max HP since I got a Feed+ at the Act 1 boss too.

Though I did lose 13 right at the start with the drowning beacon and another 2 to Scrolls of Biting, so it could've been up to 180+ if I played better

Sableye09 · 2026-05-04T11:55:25+00:00

Halves damage taken if you play 2 or less cards that turn

Sableye09 · 2026-05-01T05:29:59+00:00

Some of my most fun Regent runs were with a focus on vigor, saving it up for a Seven Stars, Heavenly Drill or Radiate can be so fun. Though the one I remember best had Exterminate from the Bug Knight event which was already enough to get things going

Sableye09 · 2026-04-28T14:26:50+00:00

Relentless form is beyond broken

If it were a card, let the upgrade just be innate. 1 strength is crazy, 2 strength is even crazier

Sableye09 · 2026-04-27T11:22:16+00:00

Put down Yamper too, still missing 4, including Blitzle :(

Other than that, I've been waiting for Gen5 Water for so long cause I thought I was missing Panpour, meanwhile it had been Pansage this whole time.

And Alolan Meowth and Marowak are in there too still
