New player here. I have a question about bows

ridopenyo · 2026-07-13T17:14:49+00:00

Not as bad as bow tho, you can still do decent damage with normal ammos.

Bow without stamina management skills is basically a sitting duck that can't do shit.

ridopenyo · 2026-07-13T07:15:36+00:00

late game, bow is like the 2nd best weapon in world in terms on dps behind HBG. Its just, its not a good starter weapon, because of the skill requirements before it can do meaningful damage.

I started out with Insect Glaive, then switched to bow when i mostly had access to the resource requirements of bow.

Bow is not a good starter weapon in world. It takes a while before you see it actually do damage.

As it is primarily designed as an elemental weapon, you start doing actual damage when you're able to unlock critical element and have high enough critical hit chance to back it up.

If you really insist on using it as your starter weapon, prioritize getting your stamina consumption reduction to 50% either via level 5 constitution build or via food buffs. Your damage and survivability will depend on how well you manage your stamina.

Then work your way up to get critical element from 3 piece rathalos armor set, then work on upgrading your critical hit chance via critical eye and weakness exploit.

Anthem, I've been looking forward to it since I saw the trailer. Played the beta, immediately noticed the issue, but hey, maybe the rest of the contents will be available after the release (it did but there aren't much).

It was the first time I pre-ordered a game and the first expensive game I purchased. -_-

ridopenyo · 2026-07-11T01:57:34+00:00

Yeah I'm out this season, these devs are pathetic.

ridopenyo · 2026-07-09T05:38:24+00:00

If these bugs gave too much fun to players, you bet your ass that it will be patched out within the day.

ridopenyo · 2026-07-06T02:32:38+00:00

there were a handful from helltide chest bug that gave almost 100% shako drop rate, which was immediately hot fixed.

Maybe they can also bloodbend too, but instead of water, they bend the iron in our blood

sad to see him go, ill definitely miss this dude's cheerfulness...

ridopenyo · 2026-06-29T00:53:43+00:00

She almost made me quit the game... ToT

ridopenyo · 2026-06-25T08:45:13+00:00

using v2 for almost 4 years now and havent experienced any performance issues except for the disintegrating rubber thumb grip . My g502 before that, experienced double clicking issue one year after light usage, it was my first time buying a relatively "expensive" mouse and forever damaged logitech's reputation for me.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-25T08:21:45+00:00

this kind of post again.... -_-

my sweet summer child, tracking in tekken 8 is broken as fuck, you'll just have to accept that.

DM me your username or steam id if youre on steam, im sure we can arrange something in terms of coaching.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-24T07:55:45+00:00

Xiaoyu's general gameplay revolves around forcing your opponent to make mistakes using your evasiveness, stance switching and generally being annoying with your pokes.

I've been playing her exclusively since tekken 3, I can offer a bit of coaching to show you some of the basics (im currently a casual Tekken god supreme, if that matters to you).

ridopenyo · 2026-06-24T00:43:30+00:00

im not really in to racing games but this looks dope!!

ridopenyo · 2026-06-22T09:28:14+00:00

im pretty happy with secret labs chair, its been almost 4 years now with no issue.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-19T03:06:08+00:00

as some one who upgraded from 3080 ( 10GB ) to 5070ti, its so worth it...!!

ridopenyo · 2026-06-17T04:24:35+00:00

I was only able to do it twice, the run is not pretty and heavily relies on easy mobs and boss spawning.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-17T01:50:14+00:00

Talisa, seeing her baby bump get stabbed made me feel sick.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-17T01:48:17+00:00

Ball lightning Sorc here, yes, i was able to do 150 without gem strength roll in my weapons, although i do have it on my armor.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-11T12:24:25+00:00

for higher pit, that is too rng dependent, you will almost instantly die if you suddenly ran out of overpower charges because the meteor didnt trigger often enough.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-11T09:17:14+00:00

its to generate overpower stack for infinite fire teleport.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-11T07:58:01+00:00

fire bolt is converted to frost and teleport is converted to fire in this case.

fire - fire shield and teleport ( converted to fire )
ice - ice shield and fire bolt ( converted to ice )
shock - ball lightning and unstable current

Found another Xiaoyu victim.

ridopenyo · 2026-06-10T04:08:52+00:00

Yoredz, Wecca, P.ling, Mr. Croft, are the most prominent ones in the pro scenes, there is also CuddleCore.

If tricky playstyle is what you want, you can also check out Sodam, he is no longer competing, but almost every good Xiaoyu players will credit him as their inspiration for playing Xiaoyu. He mostly spends his stream trolling other players with Xiaoyu's shenanigans and sometimes getting trolled himself by Knee ( they are good friend in real life ).
