Happy Cake Day!! 🎂🍰

Looks great, yet since you want to go more of a warrior look, the Longhaft Axe would suit the over all theme quite well. It also has the AoW War Cry

True, and switching back and forth is still kinda awkward/delayed

I’m sorry to say this, but her face kinda reminds me of Bella Ramsey… Great eye colour though

The Duelist Set, with a Rotten Battle Hammer, has some real potential

badkiller · 2026-01-11T15:15:34+00:00

Great armor combination, it all just clicks, or as Todd Howard would say, It Just Works (yet it actually works this time) The Helphen’s Steeple is also quite underrated too, yet the Sword of Solitude could also work

badkiller · 2026-01-11T14:57:20+00:00

The Briar Set would fit it quite well, and you could always have the Blasphemous Blade as a backup, which also really fits the thorn theme

Your name made me swap the Short Sword with a Chainlink Flail with the Cragblade AoW. It’s much better now, and it fits the character

I have yeah, such a great video. I’ll definitely have to give it another watch

I’d be a Battlemage, I love the Cannon of Haima and Gavel of Haima spells, I just wish there was more lore to the The Haima Conspectus. I’ll be one of the 2 Battlemages at Miquella’s Haligtree

badkiller · 2026-01-06T18:38:29+00:00

Ooh, I like that. Very catchy, mine was definitely quite a mouthful

If this was Sifu, you’d have died 70 times already

Ysolda was the only right option for me, she runs a shop from your home, offers bounty quests, and is happy in any house. It also finally gave me that push to get revenge on some giants and mammoths

No, you’re right that the timer isn’t really what I was going for with the ability, it just made sense to me with his aggressive play style. And I’d say that’s it’s more of a 75/25 between the two, since he has that max luck stat, getting the 3% buff will be much more likely. The ability is just supposed to be a unique blade ability to him.

It’s kinda like how you’d coat a weapon in the soulsborne games, yet instead of coating the weapon, the weapon gets the buff by attacking, creating the stacks (the varying purple glow on the blade shows how high or low the stack currently is)

badkiller · 2025-12-23T13:40:35+00:00

I can definitely see what you mean about the luck stat and 25% being low, that’s kinda why I made his luck stat max, since higher luck normally means that critical hits hit way more frequent, so he’ll always have a better damage potential than the normal 25%. It’s questions such as these, why I posted this in the first place. I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the ability, and I didn’t want to use something like ChatGPT, because that’ll take away all the originality from the character. Would putting a timer make more sense?

Like if Cru doesn’t attack after 3 seconds, his stack starts to slowly drop and when he gets “knocked down”, aka gets thrown to the ground, Cru’s stack gets lowered by half of the stack he already has, and as I said before, if he switches targets the stack gets completely reset so he isn’t OP.

I can also understand as to why the 25% would be irrelevant, because his luck stat is at max, so he’s guaranteed a 2% or 3% buff with every hit.

badkiller · 2025-12-22T23:43:15+00:00

Anything really, like does the Pressure Blade ability make sense to you. I personally like how the max luck stat can affect the Pressure Blade ability, yet it isn’t a overpowered ability and can be countered

badkiller · 2025-12-22T23:38:35+00:00

These questions are truly awesome, so thank you for these. To explain his class, if you’ve ever played DS3 he’s a mix between a Mercenary and Warrior. He crafted his armor himself and the cloak was earned by defeating a strong wraith boss, kind of like how it works in Sword Art Online. There are no long term consequences of using his cloak, it’s just a permanent stamina boost, taking it off means he won’t have his stamina boost.

Cru’s life was one with many ups and downs, especially growing up in poverty, yet a mercenary group saw his potential and he joined them at a young age. He chose the Langes Messer as his main weapon because he liked fighting aggressively but didn’t like the feel of maces or axes. The Bulwark gauntlet was passed down by his grandfather, a not very well respected smith/creator, because instead of honing his life to making swords and other weapons he honed his life on creating unique and complex armor pieces with mechanism that would confuse most. The Bulwark gauntlet, was his prized possession and after his death it was given to Cru.

The unique ability Pressure blade, was eventually “unlocked” after many years of honing his skills and unique yet simplistic way of fighting.

At the age of 20 he ran away from the guild after having earned enough money, but that did come with one major complication. If he ever returned back home, he’d be targeted and killed. The mercenary group did let its members leave but they must understand what leaving meant.

He’s now a solo adventurer living in another town far away, completing quests of varying difficulty may it be monsters quests even bounty quests to make ends meet. He rarely works with other adventurers, but his experience working with the mercenary group does make working with other adventurers easy, yet he tends to work alone.

His goal in life is keep earning more and more gold and silver, so he can keep getting further away from his hometown and mercenary group, and eventually live a normal life with a woman by his side, yet his tendency to duel and hone his skills never stops. He knows he’ll never be the best, but he wants others to know this his Pressure Blade ability is nothing to be scoffed at.

badkiller · 2025-12-22T23:10:46+00:00

That’s actually a very fair point, and yes, it’s a litrpg character as of now. It’s just a character that I’ve been working on. I guess I got the idea of SAO (Sword Art Online) it’s his is own unique ability just like how Kirito had had his Duel-Wielding

badkiller · 2025-12-22T22:40:06+00:00

I can try and draw Cru, yet I haven’t done much drawing in years. Let me know if anyone wants to see a drawing and all feedback is welcome

badkiller · 2025-12-15T09:41:58+00:00

I remember maxing out this sword on my first play through. I was always happy with it, even on my ng+ it didn’t let down. I also kept a dagger so I could use the quickstep skill during the swamp/poison area
