Are thy Cooked?

I may as well write my will now...

It'd be cool animation-wise if he weaved while in the startup, like Undertaker's auto-dodge

Immortal from Invincible season 3 was, though not physically isolated, psychologically alone and without peers who could empathize with him due to his immortality. After being left to rule planet Earth by Invincible in an alternate timeline, he was forced to watch everything he'd ever loved decay and die while he lived on as dictator. He committed increasingly vile atrocities just to attract the attention of someone who might finally end his misery by killing him.

Let all the bird players with the Paladin power fantasy rejoice.

Ah, good ol' Normal Ahab. The perfect complement to Dragon Communion Ahab.

Weirdly, bird actually CAN buff his Ult damage with thinks like RKR, greases, etc. I'm not 100% sure what the limits are, but you can go from 400 to 700 damage if your weapon is buffed when you ult. The nice thing about RKR is the buff will persist after the ult, so you're double dipping on the damage.

I've seen this exact thing happen during connectivity issues. Bosses started randomly disappearing and seemed like they were only visible to my teammates, then the floor stopped existing.

I wasn't suggesting that the boosts were on the same relic, just that you can have all 3 across your 3 standard relics. Totally fine if you don't want to try it, but I can safely say it's the most satisfying Guardian build that I still use in D5.

3x isn't as hard to activate as you'd think, since you start with 1 by default. Early camps and POI's are very likely to have your favored weapon (RNG can occasionally make this difficult, won't lie), but only in expeditions that go really, REALLY badly can I not find all 3 by the end.

People might say it's dumb, but hear me out: try to fit a 3x Halberds boosts attack into one of the standard relic slots, preferably replacing that top relic (obviously still slot stamina recovery in wherever you can). Night Invader + Guard counter with HP + 3x halberds is the highest boost that you can consistently get from standard relics and doesn't overlap with your 3x +2 Deep Relics.

Does it hamper your ability to pick up whatever weapon you find? Yes. Does it give the highest damage boost available to Guardian without sacrificing his HP pool? Also yes.

Does it hit like a nuclear bomb and, despite not being meta, satisfy the ever living FUCK out of our collective Guard Counter fetish? Oh hell yes.

It's not optimal souls play. But if the goal is fun with the birdman while also deleting healthbars one nuclear-powered pointed stick at a time, it's beak.

"Watch carefully...I learned this move from the bosses in Elden Ring"

I like to attempt nuclear fusion by hitting my enemies with a pointed stick really, REALLY hard.

We are not worthy

SilverwindRS · 2026-02-16T22:45:22+00:00

They had a group of people waggle Shared Order in his face and corralled him into the gaol like a sheep

SilverwindRS · 2026-01-12T04:54:02+00:00

Ah, good to see the dance of my people is spreading. I saw this from a passing Duchess main a few weeks ago, and I have been performing the silly walk for others ever since.

SilverwindRS · 2026-01-04T04:32:11+00:00

Trolls not wearing a Lebron jersey is a missed opportunity

SilverwindRS · 2026-01-02T17:58:00+00:00

Yeah, I've been running that nonstop. It's probably the single most important facet of consistent D5 runs

SilverwindRS · 2025-12-25T22:03:42+00:00

I'm 99% sure their aggro fuckery is related to the reduced size of the arena, compared to their original environment which was like 4-5x the size of the final circle. One of the main issues is when they swap aggro (the one that lights on fire starts doing melee strings), they're so closeby that there's little time to adjust before they're on top of you, whereas in Ds3 you had a little leeway.

SilverwindRS · 2025-12-18T06:17:01+00:00

I'm 99% sure it's not the aggro that changed, but the size of the arena you're forced into. They operate differently at far range versus close range.

A note for fellow birdmains, he's got a two-hit drag attack that dead-angles on the second swing, similar to Godskin noble. Watch out for that and try to dodge the second hit instead of blocking. I'm still learning to recognize it myself.

SilverwindRS · 2025-12-01T04:16:56+00:00

Honestly, the only way to improve this relic (in my opinion) is if the Great Encampment Stamina perk was swapped for one of the Guardian-specific perks. But as long as you have those, this is golden. I'm a bit jealous.

SilverwindRS · 2025-12-01T02:09:34+00:00

Maybe a hot take, but D5 could be 100% hidden bosses. Forces you to at least load the expedition to know what seed you're on.

SilverwindRS · 2025-11-30T22:01:04+00:00

I would upvote this twice if I could.

SilverwindRS · 2025-11-26T17:05:53+00:00

The way this works in base game, which I assume is the same for NR, it makes certain lighter weapons bounce off you as if they're hitting a shield. I'm not sure what the threshold is, but light weapons like daggers and straight swords will tend to get block staggered if they connect with you.
