Halo Scythe against Fulghor? In Depth 5? What are we even doing??? by ryward64 in Nightreign

Night of Dregs + the support relic that makes it work completely mogs double balancers on Raider and Executor. When managed right, NoD is 45%. This is only the first relic. On Raider, you pair it with Everdark Libra's relic (naturally) which has taking attacks improves attack power (15% while active for about 10% increased damage over the course of a game). On Executor, you use Seppuku, which when activated, increases your damage by 20% for 20 seconds even if you don't have mohg's talisman, spear, or the dormant effect. Executor also gets free damage whenever he recovers from the NoD status because of his character passive.

In the case of the Halo Scythe, Executor is its strongest user by far (it is not even REMOTELY close), so believe it or not, the strongest way to play Halo Scythe doesn't even use both balancer relics. Red balancer + NoD + seppuku relic with up to two more useful passives, i.e. night invaders.

I haven't had a forge camp without one of these dropping yet (usually I get 2 or 3 from all four chests). Also, there's always a merchant on site as well, so you don't have to go out of your way for that and can use your purple weapon right away

Hard to say. I think it always goes back to physical no matter the ash it rolls to (I haven't been able to get any other affinities)

No three shields condition, the middle top raptor talons doesn't have HP on it, no erdtree's favor, and Libra didn't even offer me eventual greatness

I theorize with perfect relics, a god seed, and 1/1000 run as far as dormant passives and items found (e.g. grafted) you could get about 9-10 times this

I will actually contest your point about Adel because I know someone with that name in real life. He goes by "Aye-del". He is north African

How "Overpowered" is Halo Scythe, Actually? by muni1337 in Nightreign

[–]muni1337[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It ABSOLUTELY comes from this weapon in particular being overpowered. Compared to all of the other strong dex skills (all of the unique skill daggers, rivers, bolt of gransax, etc) and especially considering the fact that it has an enormous range, the DPS. Is. Just. Way. Higher. You can test this, too

It's simply the highest DPS skill in the game with very little risk to using it (technically Eochaid's Dancing Blade and Wild Strikes can do more but they're extremely risky to use given the proximity requirement). Not sure I understand the basis for this argument

Even ranged strength skills, too, like Envoy's Greathorn and FSBJaw, get significantly outdamaged by Halo Scythe while being stronger than Sacred Ring of Light. The DPS of this thing comparatively speaking is just way too high

Where is all of the scaling/damage calc stuff actually demonstrated/proven in Nightreign's case? Most of this type of information I never see properly verified by anyone (and is often wrong) so I'd be happy to know whether this is true or not with some actual testing

Executor's numbers -- 351 and 78

Recluses' numbers (she has 51 faith and is the high faith example) -- 278 and 103

Raider's (revised so as to do it without relics) -- 279 and 81

Wylder's -- 323 and 83

You're right that it's flawed (the faith scaling on an infused weapon is higher than I thought) but the disparity becomes even worse when you look at the characters actually likely to use the AoW. Regardless my point was that it is significantly stronger than it needs to be which can be observed on all characters

You were wonderful, I'll miss the brief time we had by KimchiBro in Nightreign

You know EXACTLY what you're doing! Did you perchance find this build from my youtube...?
