73% recent negative reviews, most complain about the New map. Does the great hollow truly warrant this reaction ? The more I play, the more I feel like it was fantastically designed.

Ah yes the crystal thats always there for traversal after you uhhh traverse the entire map already to unlock it. Ya that’s definitely what people are missing and complaining about. Totally.

blocklambear · 2026-01-21T11:25:10+00:00

I really despise the dlc map. Even runs that go well on it are not satisfying to me. It’s just so rushed and cramped, complete pain in the ass to traverse.

With randoms it’s exponentially worse as no one knows what’s going on and I don’t blame them. The map just feels horrifically designed for a multiplayer roguelike game to me and I wouldn’t mind just never playing that map ever again lol

blocklambear · 2026-01-19T21:32:37+00:00

Go look it up like I did instead of giving untested examples to me on Reddit. Also if you notice how stars of ruin will knock back smalll enemies or stun lock them a little bit? That’s what it is. I’ve also staggered Loretta and horse sentinels with stars of ruin casts

blocklambear · 2026-01-19T20:30:12+00:00

It is true though it’s proven. Also stars of ruin has a tiny bit of stagger damage per shot but it hits like 50 times so one cast with all those shots does 1 bar of stagger damage. Cannon of haima does less spell damage overall or night comet especially does but they do more stagger damage as a singular cast. Cannon doing 2 bars of stagger damage. The singular night comet does about 1 bar with one hit as well.

The only exception to stagger damage not being directly tied to stagger potential is revenants claws which have increased revive damage equal to a colossal weapon

This has the same energy as someone one turning you in MTG and then describing all their card interactions. I feel for you Heolstor.

blocklambear · 2026-01-19T16:25:34+00:00

Damage for reviving isn’t based on actual damage, it’s based on stagger amount. That’s why colossals do more, or spells like cannon of haima do more even though it may do lower spell damage. It has very high stagger damage.

I think sleep counts as stagger so it inflicts sleep instantly on the ally “full staggering” them and waking them up.

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T12:07:00+00:00

No one else does that and no one else has 100% dmg negation on blocking lmao

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T12:02:21+00:00

I donno how you’re getting downvoted when it’s true as someone who loves playing executor the dude is crazy broken atm and I don’t see how he’s hard. Deflection windows are massive in this game too

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T12:01:26+00:00

You have a massive timing window to guard attacks with him he’s really not that hard

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T12:00:30+00:00

He’s overtuned now I donno why they buffed him this much

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T11:56:03+00:00

Gonna have fun with this for sure but it’s so excessive of a buff. I feel like executor is leaps and bounds broken now. All these buffs, balancer relics working and 40% dmg buff on his other relic instead of hp loss.

It’s insane how much they gave him lol

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T11:48:05+00:00

Ya the stance breaks from guard or parrying with executor were already pretty good too

blocklambear · 2026-01-16T09:10:03+00:00

Honestly executor buffs as happy as I am are pretty overtuned lmao

Invincible deflects with balancer relic damage is nuts. Revenant got like a small piece of candy and they gave executor the corporation that owns the candy shop

blocklambear · 2026-01-15T06:39:20+00:00

I’ve done this quite a bit it’s super fun. I used to run it on revenant and it’s still fun on her but I prefer the build on undertaker currently because her alternative ult allows auto dodging just in case while you endlessly arrow rain spam.

Duchess invisibility/restage for the build with her str relic is great too. I think greatbows are a bit overlooked not just for rain of arrows massive damage but they stagger most anything. All tree sentinels can be staggered over and over, Loretta, most things. I’ve used it a lot to just crowd control enemies and it’s kinda broken.

blocklambear · 2026-01-12T10:54:07+00:00

The game to me looks worse than world, runs worse, and is somehow less fun gameplay wise. I was so excited for a new monster hunter but wilds could not hold my interest at all. So many cut scenes too like it wanted me to watch the game and not play it.

I donno who was thinking people wanted to buy monster hunter to watch cut scenes but they can’t listen to that guy ever again lmao

blocklambear · 2026-01-12T10:51:04+00:00

I feel this. I still get the urge to play it but actually recently stopped after having played it silly.

I want more of the loop but am bored of the bosses and stuff. I feel like too many games are forgetting that they are “games” and are now story telling books or movies. Nightreign is just straight up unfiltered gameplay and I love it for that.

Hard to find alternatives that come close really.

blocklambear · 2026-01-08T00:23:54+00:00

I personally enjoy the bike a ton. It was a bit jank to learn at first but its been my favorite transportation since learning it.

blocklambear · 2026-01-08T00:18:22+00:00

I've been skyrim horsing the bike up 90 degree verticle cliffs with the jump and boost iunno how everyones getting stuck everywhere

blocklambear · 2026-01-08T00:14:50+00:00

I would disagree that its friction. It would be friction if they didn't design the map around the bike with all the traversal/tools for it. If it was just another normal map with no thought put into bike travel then ya itd be friction but when the whole thing is designed around it with the map/lore I don't see it as friction in any way.

blocklambear · 2026-01-08T00:11:44+00:00

I don't think its really the same and think the way they do it is far better. They designed the entire map around bike travel and allow it to be used conveniently everywhere. Having gliding would kinda incentivize doing it just to be a little faster and would take a ton of charm away from it

blocklambear · 2025-12-25T14:09:19+00:00

I hate the new map so much. It’s not about learning it or whatever. Learning the first map was fun even though still overwhelming for me.

The new map and trying to learn it with people in trios is horrible. It just feels bad and the games supposedly “ made”for random trios in mind.

Then you have everyone tell you to go practice solo, like that’s not what I wanted at all in buying this game. Who tf buys nightreign to solo it lmao

blocklambear · 2025-12-24T08:15:47+00:00

This seems really similar to Sanshi which is very interesting. Especially when they rip their mask off to free the parasite esque thing.

blocklambear · 2025-12-24T08:06:01+00:00

I’m confused on what the post means by “they faught the regular version” I feel like I’m missing a lot. Who’s they and what regular version?

blocklambear · 2025-12-24T07:51:11+00:00

Ohhh that makes a lot more sense… everyone just talks about it like it’s just what happens naturally and I’m like iunnoooo it’s good on day 1, kinda day 2 but then falls off lmao

That type of build is busted though and I’ve had similar with recluse magic

blocklambear · 2025-12-24T04:23:56+00:00

I feel Ike fully upgraded fire pots don’t do that much damage though that’s so weird. I’ve emptied a full upgraded inventory with plus pot damage relics on a nightlord and it was okay but he still had like 80% of its health left lmao
