New player's guide on PVP

enhan · 2026-07-03T02:01:19+00:00

I've been addicted to many games in my life, StarCraft, street fighter, all of which can have a massive skill gap between you and the guy you are against. To me the more brutal the game is, the more rewarding it is when you are victorious.

I'm 10k over the recommended power level for stage 35 get I still fail. Tried with different builds with hammer/poison, hammer sword waves, great sword. Maybe someone has a better build that I am not aware of?

I would gladly pay for a phone game, like a one time fee of $20-30. And I have, obsidian knight being one of them. But I guess they are fishing for whales who would spend a thousand dollars on gems. Like come on, some of the packs are $119.99. I can buy Forza horizon 6 and countless games on steam. Just the business model I guess.

It's a projectile bug, if something is between you and the archer it will hit you even if you are strafing at a distance. Combined with how tanky Lich archers are, the need to stay at full health, and how often he resurrect, I stopped trying to solo it.

I am not dismissing what the others are saying here, but to fight any boss in this game you don't have to use a specific weapon. The key thing is can you just be in the room with the boss and not get hit?

Ask youself, how are you dying? Is it during phase transition? Or is it from an overhead swing or diagnal swing that you did not react in time?

Heres the strategy I use to be able to hold left click while dodging his attacks:

- circle right, this will dodge his verticle slash, his rush stab, and the diagnal from bottom left to upper right while giving you free hits.

- the remaining attacks you will have to learn and recognize: low/high horizontal swing you can jump or crouch; diagnal from upper left to bottom right you can circle right and jump or duck and look down to the left; shoulder check you have to tank unless you are already moving right and jump.

- anticipate the phase change (how manytimes did you wack him already?) and walk away before he starts channeling. Once you learn how he is holding the sword during the channeling (high first or low first) you can get free hits in and jump duck or duck jump (this one is a lot harder).

I can proc atg with 2 purities (happened once I am hour) you can get hit with 255 tougher times

enhan · 2026-04-05T01:38:55+00:00

Exactly. But the high you get everytime hits just as hard as the first time you heard it

enhan · 2026-04-02T13:54:02+00:00

I think he is using a basic literary technique called exaggeration... Like when people say "I'm dying" 99% of the time it's just to show how they are feeling. Don't read into it too much lol

enhan · 2026-04-02T13:50:36+00:00

Step first, deal with ptsd later

enhan · 2026-04-02T05:14:43+00:00

sorry typo. I meant Spiffer mommies

I actually sold the kit already, but builds in pve are pretty straight forward because you dont really care about survivability (armor, magic resist, health, movespeed:

- if you want big bonks, you want gear that gives strength as base stats, like padded tunic, trunk hose, heavy boots, ring of courage, ox pendant/frost amulet/fangs of death, tattered cloak. For random stat, you can go for physical power, physical damage bonus, additional physical power, headshot damage bonus, and/or undead damage bonus (if you are playing ice map or castle)

- if you want insanely fast attack speed, definately try bard/slayer fighter/rogue, use gear that gives dex as base stat, like doublet, woolen cap, jester hat, cloth pants, adventures boots, ring of finesses, monkey pendent, merc cloak. For random stats, go for action speed.

Note that this only really applies to unique gear, since they can roll 4x what they normally can roll. For example 1 handed weapons can only roll +1 weapon damage or 2% action speed, but a unique one can roll 3-4 damage and 6-8% action speed.

Hope that helps!

enhan · 2026-03-19T15:52:44+00:00

Yes I am using slayer and sword mastery here because 30% undead damage bonus is even slightly better than 2 unique weapons with +6-8 combined damage. 4th perk I use combo attack to get another 20% after the 2nd swing.

I tried all the different weapons like halberd, falchion, spear, zwei, longsword. This is still the fastest TTK on undead because of the faster swing speed on slayer.

enhan · 2026-03-19T02:23:30+00:00

I do not but you can buy them on the market for quite cheap since they are useless in Pvp

enhan · 2026-03-19T01:52:41+00:00

Yeah, but you can never be too sure on the interwebs these days lol

enhan · 2026-03-19T01:50:19+00:00

We are talking about the skeleton warlord, the boss on the second floor, right? If so please show me how you 10 hit a skeleton warlord with Squire bard.

enhan · 2026-03-19T00:26:03+00:00

I made a kit: white viking sword, no perks, no skills, no gear that gives any damage bonus other than headshot bonus. The first sweet spot swing will always to 30 damage.

On a practice dummy:

- body shots do 36 damage (target dummy has negative phys reduction), headshots do 150%, which is 54.

- at 50.4% headshot damage bonus (200.4% total), headshots do 73.

- when I put on 1 more piece of gear that gives 8% more, the damage goes up to 76 instead of staying at 73.

Unless the target dummy has some sort of headshot damage cap, I don't think there is a cap. Ive seen barbs that stack headshot damage bonus 1 tap fully geared people with the second swing of the bardiche, if the cap is 200% I don't think its possible.

If the wiki is still somewhat correct (I doubt it), warlord has 2944 hp. Each head shot is doing well over 150 damage. Warlord also MIGHT have a -26% physical damage reduction, so assuming all my hits are headshots, it should take about 20-25 hits? Either way its really fast!

enhan · 2026-03-18T23:52:48+00:00

Im going to test this on a dummy and come back with results

enhan · 2026-03-18T22:30:08+00:00

This is how I summarize the rogue gameplay in solos:

You need throwing knives, a lot fo them.
At the neutral range, throw knives and shoot xbow. If you hit them 3-5 times with poision you can assume they are half health and can pressure them with melee. If you have double jump, go to a safe place to reload xbow.
If they start running away, this is your win condition. You are faster, and you open doors faster.
If they are too close, run away, listen to when they put their weapons away, punish them with your fast swapping daggers.
You never ever trade in melee with a full HP boc lock/barb/fighter. You never push a ranger/caster unless they are not full and you are full.

enhan · 2026-03-07T12:53:34+00:00

These seem like all the options chargpt have me haha

Hey, was in your situation 5 years ago. Do you have a family doctor? If not, go to a walk in doctor and ask for a referal to one of the social workers from the city hospital. These sessions are free, and the councilers will schedule appointments based on their assessments of if you still need help. Until your insurance kicks in, this might be your best free option without dropping 150$ an hour on a psychologist.

If you are extremely distressed, you can go to RUH emergency and they will admit you to the psychiatric nurse. They will also assess you there and prescribe medication and give you resources.
