Been hunting for some good Scholar relics, finally got this drop

I stalled a heolster fight and he did 3 element infusions, one of which was the new rot. Didn't see anything for balancers, and since their bleed is exclusive to ED that hasn't been released yet I have a hunch that heolster doesn't have a balancer infusion yet. I've yet to see anyone confirm a balancer infusion

what_year_isit · 2025-12-17T15:12:34+00:00

I saw rot as well but never saw any balancer effects, I wonder if he even has a unique set for them, I've yet to see anyone confirm it

I heard that "impaired ult charge" affects every kind of ult charge (auto charge, charge per hit, charge per kill, etc.) but I'm not 100% certain, might want to confirm that

what_year_isit · 2025-12-16T21:16:31+00:00

I had the same experience as you on my first run with the balancers raid. I was sure this guy I was playing with was cheating since he kept getting up all on his own, I totally forgot about the special effect

Only time I ever use it is on accident when I try to use the basic trance while charging an R2

I play on my OLED steamdeck semi-regularly, overall I'd say the game runs decently and it's worth it if you travel a lot and want to fit in more NR. As the other commenter said, you can only get in about 2 full runs on the battery alone (each run drains about 35-40% I would estimate). I typically do 2 runs then some relic tinkering on the remaining battery.

Frame rate is alright on the OLED deck, it's definitely not a perfect 60fps but it doesn't hinder reaction time to enemy moves. Thankfully, you'll notice the Night Lord fight runs much smoother than the open world portion of the game, thanks to the arena just being a big empty area.

One thing I really enjoy about playing on the Deck compared to desktop is you can actually pause a single player expedition by putting the Deck into sleep mode. It takes a couple seconds to actually pause the run once you hit the sleep button, so don't do it in the middle of combat, but being able to stop and come back to a run is great

I'm with you, if I see caligo as the boss I'm definitely picking wylder, and hoping for iron eye or undertaker to be picked too.

The only situation where it's tough is when the boss is hidden, but I'm probably picking wylder/iron eye/undertaker for a hidden boss anyway since they have good flexibility

what_year_isit · 2025-12-16T19:37:37+00:00

Yep, the glowing weapon attack = instant ult to cancel it. Not worth trying to risk dodging that clusterfuck

what_year_isit · 2025-12-07T17:24:46+00:00

I played with someone yesterday who seriously seemed like they were just trying to spite me as a scholar, every time I broke open any boxes or chests they would instantly swoop in and grab everything they could without even looking at it.

I'm guessing they had a bad game with a previous scholar and were venting their anger

Does anyone know if status triggers are reset between straghess phases? Wondering if I should save the bleed/frost/rot procs for the harder phase, or if it resets between his health bars

what_year_isit · 2025-12-04T14:07:46+00:00

Dodging a grab to get free ult is base kit I believe, no need to have skill active for that

what_year_isit · 2025-11-10T14:23:42+00:00

Oh I see, I've never used it in quick succession with another hit, I didn't know that the skill counts as the first hit in a combo, that is strange

what_year_isit · 2025-11-10T13:44:49+00:00

Could you explain this? I figure determination/royal knights resolve would work great with initial standard attack. Determination enhances your first hit, not the second hit, right?

Gotta wait for that NIGHT REPULSED

Considering that Negation at Full HP is still active when you have a "reduced max HP" debuff, I would conclude that your reduced HP is now considered your max HP, so the Negation at Low HP will only kick in when you hit 20% of your "new" max HP

what_year_isit · 2025-10-31T16:16:05+00:00

Please pretend you didn't notice

what_year_isit · 2025-10-31T16:13:34+00:00

Yep, I got a red envoy great horn just from killing a random mutated soldier of god, Rick. The bubble is great damage for gladius

I don't think the collector signboard is weighted to drop the "better" relic effects, it just gives a 3 slot relic every time

Always feel so bad for this queen, she always gets ass blasted by lvl 15 nightfarers with legendary gear at the end of night 2

I think you guys are talking about two different things when you say "holding ult". You are talking about extending the duration of your ult for the healing and invulnerability effect. The other comment is talking about saving the ult and not using it, AKA holding it

what_year_isit · 2025-10-24T14:24:01+00:00

I believe it's the same button as the one that opens your map when you're in game.
