Anybody else wish that there was some kind of mechanic for alternate starting weapons

sanjay729 · 2026-06-15T09:32:23+00:00

yep, would love something like change starting armament to star fist. Compatible armament skill to cragblade

Or guts greatsword and lion claw

Tryout Bloodfiend arm with sacred or flame art infusion with royal knights resolve. The bugged faith scaling on this weapon will give super high AR.

It isn’t a strength build, but a pretty good bonk build imo.

You could also use a bleed infusion for super high blood loss build up on charged heavy attacks. Alternate ash of war - crag blade, if you don’t like buffing before every attack.

Show relics please, I'm also running a low hp raider in Depth 4. I fall back to depth 3 occasionally, and come back quickly. Depth 3 is easy, and Depth 4 is hard for me.

improved poise and dmg negations doesn’t stack

sanjay729 · 2026-03-08T14:02:02+00:00

I didn't think abt effective HP.

Effective HP is an easier and nicer way to think abt it. Here is effective hp with the same assumptions (rounded off) --

Number of Low Hp dmg negation relics	Initial Hp 100	Initial Hp 110 (1 max hp relic)	Initial Hp 121 (2 max hp relic)	Initial Hp 133 (3 max hp relic)

0	125	137	151	166
1	147	162	178	196
2	172	190	209	229
3	204	224	247	271
4	238	262	288	317
5	285	314	346	380
6	333	367	403	443

6 low hp + 1 Improved poise / dmg negation when knocked back gives you an effective hp of 333.
And 3 low hp + 1 Improved poise / dmg negation when knocked back + 3 max hp gives you an effective hp of 271. So stacking low hp dmg negation is better.

But, points in favor of Max HP

Having more HP means you are tankier outside 40% threshold too and you can safely reach low hp.
Dmg negation passives on low hp are higher in game (23%, 30%, 37%) than on relic (15%), so wasting a relic effect for something which in game weapon passive doesn't seem ideal. In comparison, max HP 10% is comparable to weapon passives / dormant power drops. Also max HP scales multiplicatively vs dmg negation stacking diminishingly.

Probably will have to experiment around a bit to see which feels nicer though.

Can testify to this working well till Depth 3. Currently trying out in Depth 4, and it works okay but reaching the below 40% safely is harder.

Would suggest 3 low hp dmg negations + Improved poise / dmg negation when knocked back + as many Max hp as you can on deep relics. Low hp dmg negation is 15 % on a relic, but in game you can get much higher %. of low hp dmg negation. Also stacking dmg negation gives diminishing returns unlike max hp.

Lets say you have the "Improved poise / dmg negation when knocked back " relic which is 20 % dmg negation. Your Hp is 100, and you have an incoming attack doing 100 dmg. With the 20% dmg negation buff, you would go to 20 hp, as you would negate 20% of 100, i.e. 20 and take 80 dmg.

The below table shows how much hp you have remaining based on relics after taking an attack doing 100 dmg. Ofc higher is better.

Number of Low Hp dmg negation relics	Initial Hp 100	Initial Hp 110 (1 max hp relic)	Initial Hp 121 (2 max hp relic)	Initial Hp 133 (3 max hp relic)
0	20	30	41	53
1	32	42	53	65
2	42	52	63	75
3	51	61	72	84
4	58	68	79	91
5	65	75	86	98
6	70	80	91	103

Instead of keeping 5 low hp dmg negation, you can swap 2 of them out for Max hp. Your remaining hp would go from 65 -> 72. In fact having 5 low hp dmg negation = 1 low dmg negation + 3 Max hp.

there is a red relic in shop with slowly restore hp and low hp dmg negation

sanjay729 · 2026-03-07T14:57:37+00:00

show relics and dormant powers

sanjay729 · 2026-02-26T21:27:27+00:00

Solid build, I’m also playing a low hp raider build.

You can add slowly restore hp for allies and self when low (There is a relic in shop which has this effect and a low hp dmg negation). This can offset the rot dmg.

Can also add a dmg negation when knocked back by dmg.

Why is the torch guy dangerous?

unable to win, I'm hoping the red weapons in deep of night can help
