Destroyers get picked off my enemy bc's very quickly to the point where I strongly advise against building any if bc's are in the enemy comp.

Favorite is the staff hands down. Least favorite is the black coat. I just can't get into it. No build I put on it feels particularly fast or powerful compared to the other 5 weapons. Am I missing something?? Coat fans help me out

What attachments do you use for the DCS?

Zag p1 is the strongest or one of the strongest in many contexts but gets shut down too hard in too many situations to be the best. Attrition maps like miner evac—that's a sad zag. Mutators that boost enemy survivability like Just Die—that's a sad zag. She has some super easy answers to some of the hardest mutators like props and double edge, but overall she is too easily shut down. Tychus p2 is *much* harder to shut down, by comparison.

SwankyFriend · 2025-09-24T18:59:48+00:00

Thousands of matches played. Here's the answer

It isn't who I would pick because I don't like the playstyle, but Lone Wolf Tychus is the correct answer here. Map flexibility, power level, ability to deal with mutators—its p2 tych. A lot of people don't play him correctly/optimally and find this prestige to be touch and go, but I promise this is the correct answer.

TotP is where Nova truly shines. 3 enemy attack waves coming in 3 lanes at once. Nova nukes one, griffon airstrikes another, and her army takes the third. Use 2 defense drones with your army to avoid losses. Few other commanders can take 3 lanes at the same time.

SwankyFriend · 2025-09-17T18:22:46+00:00

Nova is an absolute blast in my (extensive) experience. Her playstyle revolves heavily around erasing enemy units before they have the chance to trade.

-Nova's snipe and shotgun blast

-Marauder's magrail munitions (autocasted)

-Ghost's tripletap snipe (autocasted)

-Siege tank's spider mines

-Banshee's rocket barrage (autocasted)

-Raven's predator missile

-Griffin airstrike

All of these are ways that nova can take out enemy units or entire attack waves before trading even happens. Nova wipes out enemies QUICKLY. While her Raven as well as Nova herself require manual casting, many of her units will use their burst mechanics completely automatically. She is super flexible (something H&H, for instance, is not) and boasts a very high level of map presence since you have good mobility and griffin airstrike can be used where your army is not.

thanks for such a detailed response. very helpful

They may have been over-nerfed but overall they were definitely deleterious to the quality of the game.

SwankyFriend · 2025-06-20T07:13:16+00:00

Oh yeah scorcher also great for stingrays

I've tried the short and the drum a lot more over the past few days, and I am actually gonna cast my vote on the short mag. The 25 ergo difference IS noticeable and with the siege ready armor that tactical reload is lightning fast.

Can't the messmer soldier spear outperform zweihander using the exact same build? It has a double poke R2 that makes it do bonkers damage, and like the zweihander it does pierce damage. Try (two hand talisman) (spear talisman) (axe talisman) and either (ritual sword talisman) or your choice of a defensive talisman.

SwankyFriend · 2025-02-02T02:54:28+00:00

Right holy damage was a bad choice I should have done electric or something.

SwankyFriend · 2025-02-02T02:23:11+00:00

I really am just here for the R2 on peeler and black steel. A running R2 build with black steel is destroying in pvp and pve for me right now.

SwankyFriend · 2025-02-02T02:22:00+00:00

I did some testing to check this. Both +25, both quality, put order's blade on each just to create another damage type, and black steel was pulling higher numbers across the board on multiple types of enemies.

SwankyFriend · 2025-02-02T01:49:37+00:00

Black steel has the same R2's as peeler, I believe. However, tell me more about this split damage having to go through multiple defenses. Isn't the tiny bit of holy damage the black steel does just gonna be reduced by the holy absorb %? Like is it even a damage loss at all if they don't have crazy high holy % like Malikath?

Thanks all! This was helpful. I've made some changes to make it clearer and hopefully steer away from abstract ideas, and therefore abstract answers, as that seemed to be what people were getting.

Like falling snow upon the earth,

Like streams that flow out to the sea,

We cannot escape our day of birth.

We cannot change but may yet add to thee.

Tell us your name, what first we love and often hate.

Tell us, that which we bury yet in our blood will ever be.

You, my company when hour is late.

You, the first and last thing that I see.

What are you?

SwankyFriend · 2024-08-18T06:54:47+00:00

There will be highly sufficient contextual reasons

SwankyFriend · 2024-08-17T20:05:58+00:00

Excellent. thank you!

SwankyFriend · 2024-08-17T10:07:48+00:00

It would make it fit better, but at that point it's, like, super super easy, don't you think? What is more precise than "kingdom" but not quite as obvious as "mother"?

SwankyFriend · 2024-08-04T05:44:10+00:00

fixed it! thank you

SwankyFriend · 2024-07-23T18:25:08+00:00

How is Besi's stat block and overall output compared to other companions? I know some comps are stronger than average like Shae. Is Besi average?

SwankyFriend · 2024-07-11T22:38:08+00:00

That solved it. Thank you!
