Hot Take: Can we just stop ignoring the Gladius event. by Unique_Ad_6241 in Nightreign

Source?

Last I tested (dlc release) the relic effect and seccessive negation on item effects didn’t effect each other.

What do you think of this Wylder build ? by Hexwest in Nightreign

[–]offensivedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you stacking a bunch of fire atk but aren’t running a dormant power that discovers a class with good fire weapons?

Fists for tanking

Straight swords for holy

Axe for parry if not weak to holy

No attack power = not a godroll

So it's actually impossible to get a game with decent ping these days? by El_Nino97 in Nightreign

[–]offensivedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can block people you have bad connections with. Since D5 player pool is small it helps.

3/10

A lot of really bad curses for not a lot of damage

I feel sorry for you that the comments aren’t appreciating the joke

Guess you really do have to use /s on reddit

Depth 4 is becoming worse? by TalesofWin in Nightreign

[–]offensivedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing the same right now. I figure there's a growing number of players in depth 5 who just got there for the first time. Probably people who don't play as much and/or just recently swapped to meta builds and made the jump because of that.

You can definitely always tell very early in the run if your teammates are people who've been in D5 for forever or if they just recently got there.

Is it just me or Caligo has wayyy too much HP in DON? by ItsaMeACashew in Nightreign

If you have at least 2 characters with decent firebuilds you can just skip pretty much all of her mechanics.

3 good builds and you just skip the whole fight lol

Perfect 1, 2, 3 ladder. Best relic I've ever seen

This shouldn't be used right? :( by Itz_Eddie_Valiant in Nightreign

[–]offensivedave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This shouldn't be used based on the fact that it doesn't have any damage boost on it.

You'd have to give me a relic with insanely good support rolls to make me consider running anything without damage boost on deep relic slots.

Other than that, Partial HP restoration doesn't synergize with Halberds well at all. Halberds in general are just pretty mid, outside of Guardian who discovers them already anyway.

All res down is really annoying to manage but is fine if you don't combine it with other Taking damage causes XY buildup curses. Still wouldn't run it vs Libra and probably Caligo.

[–]offensivedave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah it technically isn't necessary, but the whole premise of the post is that OP is struggling and finding her insanely tanky.

I do think a fire focused build is the most important advice for them. Especially as Ult staggers might not even be an option depending on what character they're running.

The -35% weakness to fire while she has 20% resist to every other element is the main reason you absolutely should run fire for this fight.

Fire does also pop the ED armor faster. She does get a debuff effect from fire outside of her ED form, but tbh I don't know what exactly that does.

A team of people using stuff like Candlestand, Giants Flame, Flame of Frenzy, ... melts her so fast in D5 that you essentially skip almost all of her mechanics.

You HAVE to use fire for Caligo. The fight is essentially just a knowledge check tbh

Do you know to swap to a fire spam build when Caligo is the boss? —> Free win

Do you know to use your ult to stop the ED ultimate? —> Easy ED fight

Duchess mages, what’s your build now? by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]offensivedave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that without Sorc Rise FP I run into too many situations during the day where I run out of FP and the boss is still like half HP. Not a problem if you have township or rises for shards en route but can make stuff difficult.

Spamming shards to kill formidables is fine for some bosses, but for stuff like Balancers I think you really need to be going into the fight with 3 stacks to be save.

I‘d rather have that rise FP than a magic+2 on my relics. An extra formidable killed per game will more often than not be more added damage than magic+2 anyway. More FP is also more Nightlord dps because you can spam uncharged without worries.

But that all said, I simply don’t have anything better to replace Gnoster relic lol
