does anyone actually notice any punishment by the game for leaving a match early? for all the times it has told me, i don't really seeing any punishment towards those in my party that left or myself on the few occasions i just gave up on who i was with.

#

probably is just less priority in the matchmaking mostly, i don't recall hearing anyone getting banned for leaving matches

limpid roost
#

Fromsoft typically shadow-bans folks, or places them in low-priority queues with other malefactors without a notification geegaSalute

#

i just had a deja vu moment, i think we might have talked about this before the game's release

#

He’s coming POGCRAZY

I'm going to get turned into primordial soup

Well shit. Sorry Monster Hunter, I've got a real monster to hunt now

i havent played in a while so i am gonna be giga rusty

bitter oar
#

Wow

#

I learned

#

Absolutely nothing from that first attempt

#

I saw a lot

#

He did a lot of things

#

I have no idea how you deal with any of it

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

He was just doin shit and I was just starin at it trying to deal with 3 other things going "well it hasnt killed me so I dunno what that is"

spring kiln
#

starting my first run against him

bitter oar
#

So how'd it go?

spring kiln
#

we are just about to fight him

bitter oar
#

Hopefully you get further than I did

spring kiln
spring kiln
#

he did seem to be less aggro while they were on field

#

wonder if the relic perk for killing those things applies inside the boss fight

spring kiln
#

2nd attempt went a lot better

#

still lost

#

there is a bit of a dps check with how quickly you can kill those things before he summons again, and there is some variety in what gets summon, two on them were easy but the third one was noticeably tougher

#

i like this fight but i can see how this can quickly become an annoying fight if things don't go well

spring kiln
#

holy hell the people that can ping spam are annoying as hell, an archer did it to me when i was getting my runes back and then left the game

spring kiln
#

goatman is down

#

we got the frenzy raid at the start of the game

#

This fight is so fucking funny

#

Shame our Iron Eye doesn't know teamplay x0r6ztGiggle

#

I was like ||"Oh he summons guys, that's cool but not the worst" and proceeded to get every attack cancelled by a rain of arrows from 3 Wylders with Greatbows ICANT ||

#

Didn't properly see phase transition though because our Raider put his whole Totussy on him NOOO

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

I did not know that

#

That explains a lot

bitter oar
#

They think they're soooo fuckin funny

#

Givin the condemned Revenant a Giant Crusher and Greatsword

#

Lost this attempt, got close though

#

Think I've seen everything Libra does

#

He isnt balls to the walls hard... he isnt Super Libra, he's not a bullet hell boss like he coulda been

#

But conceptually, he's really really funny

#

I feel like he's kinda... this game's version of Old Monk?

#

In the only way they could do that

#

And I find it hilarious that he survives in this game too, conceptually

bitter oar
#

First time using it... everdark Sentient Pest's relic is pretty good...

#

This is just with 1 Rise

spring kiln
#

were epic online services down for anyone else earlier today

patent wyvern
#

split damage harpoon, haven't seen this outside sword of night and flame

bitter oar
#

Huh. Might be because its one of the few infusable innate elemental damage weapons in the game

#

Weapons that normally arent infusable are infused in this game, but its usually weapons that had no element to begin with

bitter oar
#

Got jumpscared

#

They changed the sentient pest raid

#

It actually fights back now when you find it

#

Its still squishy as hell, and also now has a fire DoT weakness like the boss, but it gets off the ground and starts blasting you

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

Man fighting everdark Libra with 2 Ironeyes on your team is fucking AWFUL

#

I think thats my 3rd run. They have not been going incredibly

#

Oh boy time for 2 Revenants on my team

spring kiln
#

defientely want more tanky and strong units for this one

#

at at least not 2 of the same class for some of them

#

the madness giga beam into the sky does drive me crazy a little

bitter oar
#

This run went pretty piss poorly overall

spring kiln
#

the summon parried me UndLaughHD

bitter oar
#

These runs are not going well

#

I will agree he summons new condemned so fast

#

Even when you deal with them quickly, if everyone isnt doing something useful it feels like he'll just throw infinite bodies at you

spring kiln
#

if the rate he summons condemned (mostly that 2nd wave) got adjusted, that would be great

modest matrix
#

im kinda having a moment with it too

#

Lmao

bitter oar
#

Still havent managed to beat him on like my 4th or 5th try

#

Got extremely close on my 2nd try but since then, nothing

#

Starting to wonder if fighting the condemned is even worth it

#

Or if you have someone just distract them since theyre pretty dumb while the others fight Libra

spring kiln
#

the ones that cause the most trouble are the raider summons from what I have experienced

#

everyone else is manageable

#

but then that duchess came in

bitter oar
#

Ironeyes are really annoying to fight

#

Even if they dont do a lot of damage theyre just always shooting you

spring kiln
#

yea, when they get you on low health it's rough

bitter oar
#

They can get jar cannons too

#

I might just have to fight him solo

#

It looks so much easier solo

spring kiln
#

interesting to see how that goes

#

it only summons one condemned

All "Demon Does X" events currently known (pulled from the Nightreign Reddit)

||Summoned the Condemned - Summons NPCs that mimic your teammates characters and skins but have their own preset builds. He will summon more every 50 seconds.

Shrouds all allies - Makes teammates invisible. Occasionally makes the Condemned invisible. Lasts 30 seconds.

False Blessing - Flask charges become infinite, but you lose a level each flask use. Lasts 30 seconds, you'll know you're under this effect if you have rings around your character.

Inescapable Eye - Power of a Demon without the boost. Lasts 30 seconds.

Preaches Madness - All attacks of yourself and NPCs cause madness buildup. This means you can apply it to Libra, too. Lasts 30 seconds.

Incites a Riot - More NPC summons, but they can attack each other as well as Libra.

Offers a Challenge - Cuts HP in half. This also applies to Libra and the Condemned, however, he seems only to use it when he's below half anyway. Lasts 30 seconds

He will start in buffed casting mode, and the only way to get him out is to poise break him, which does not enable a riposte but puts him in rage mode. Killing the Condemned drops a fragment which gives you health, atk, and def.||

bitter oar
#

They shoulda let Libra fire Midra's madness laser from his stomach

bitter oar
#

If I cant win with this then I'm just kinda fucked

#

HE HAS SO MUCH HEALTH

#

This is definitely the hardest everdark boss, regardless of how people feel about it

#

At least in trios

#

And I think due to the nature of it, you'll never really be able to get good at it

#

Because how can you when the fight revolves around NPCs so much? Its so much more gear dependent than any other fight

#

I could 1v3 everdark Adel, probably. He's a good fight but he is straight forward and learned pretty easily

#

This fight is a buncha bullshit with heavy RNG elements and a lot of shit to look out for

#

Its very fitting for Libra. Its an entirely different kind of madness than we've had to deal with before

#

If he were to get nerfed at all, I'd want like 10 or 20 more seconds between his summons, because apparently it happens every 50 seconds

#

Not even a minute

#

You need just a little bit more time to focus him down between waves before you get overwhelmed

inner trench
bitter oar
#

yeah

bitter oar
#

The NPCs also do so much goddamn damage for what they are

#

A Duchess plinking at me with a glintstone pebble off-screen should not be doing like 20% of my hp

bitter oar
#

This time for sure, surely

bitter oar
#

SURELY this time

#

Its going badly but its going way better than usual runs

#

Libra be damned, we have like 2 revives

#

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

#

Brother we could have killed any other nightlord like 3 times over

#

If Sebastian's last attack were allowed to revive me I couldve ulted and revived everyone else

#

I got a cheap shot on me in the fight when the enemy revenant chucked a lightning spear at me from beyond the wall of light so of course I couldnt fucking see it

#

That has to be the best run I couldve had, in regards specifically to dealing with all the NPCs

#

This motherfucker is single handedly tanking my W/L ratio

#

The only trick to fighting him I can think of is just extreme patience

#

But if he summons a riot you just get kinda fucked

#

The riot would be nice if the NPCs had their health cut down to 75% or something

#

Instead of just having to deal with TWICE as many NPCs

#

Or if the extra clones died when he summoned the next round

#

SOMETHING

inner trench
#

This guy feels like the prep for Giga Heolstor

bitter oar
#

I dont see how Heolstor could be harder without just pulling some real unfair bullshit

inner trench
#

Every single arena variant at once x0r6ztGiggle

limpid roost
#

geegaEvil Everdark Heolstor simply changes the timing on all of his moves at random, making old knowledge of how to dodge him obselete

Spectacle idea: Heolstor becomes one of those Giant Walking Shades and we fight that geegaWoke

sharp bluff
#

He pulls a Mega Man on you and forces you to fight all the other Nightlords before you get to fight him

bitter oar
#

Something I should probably know by now... does Libra do fire or holy damage?

bitter oar
#

God what a miserable run I just had

#

It went well but I tried playing patient

#

That Libra fight mustve gone of for like 10 minutes

#

Still sitting at 60% hp

#

I think the thing that shocks me about this fight most of all, especially given the previous fights

#

Is that 1: Libra is really fucking tanky

#

And 2: It costs him nothing to summon the condemned

#

Usually they make any sort of revive or "added body" mechanic cost the boss something to do, so it plays into how you kill them

#

But Libra can summon THOUSANDS of extra hp in bodies almost instantly on a timer until the fight ends at no cost to himself

#

All while being tankier than normal Libra and also a threat himself

#

Like, I thought that Sentient Pest couldve stood to be tankier, or cost less for Animus to revive things

#

Because it can kill itself REALLY fast

#

And the whole point of Augur's fight is you can kill it with all the adds

#

Even Caligo summoning their armor costs them hp

#

But Libra? Nah summon tens of thousands of HP in adds that also do a lot of damage and sometimes randomly have ranged weapons

#

We simply are not built to last that long against that many enemies without something more to help us

#

Really I think the pebbles dropped by the killed NPCs could be stronger, if they wanted to go that route

#

Restore like 20% of our hp or something instead of the tiny amount it does now

#

Restore FP too. That shit isnt infinite

#

Or have it so if they die it damages Libra too like Augur

#

Cause currently they are just obstacles. We get really no benefit if we kill them. They simply exist to get in our way

#

And thats fine once or twice but not for literally the whole duration of the fight

#

Only thing I could think of that would actually "counter" any of this is equipping a relic that gives you bonus damage when you kill a condemn

#

Usually very niche, but here it would just let your damage snowball the longer the fight went on

#

~15% damage for every wave of condemned he spawns in

#

I just havent seen any skills or weapons that excel at killing the Condemned in a way that isnt easily exhausted, or isnt reliant on specific spells

#

The only safe way to do the fight seems to just play it very slow... which is a problem when you're on a 50 second timer every time

#

My last run I was off in a corner dealing with my condemned and somehow my ally was fighting a revenant that had 7 attack and defense buffs...

#

Bringing either revenant or guardian to fully revive your team also seems really valuable, but they are both annoying characters to fight cause Revenant can have spells or massive weapons, and Guardian is just tanky and likes shielding

#

I have no relic with the night invader effect

#

Fuck

bitter oar
#

I'm gonna do it this time

#

HE'S FINALLY DEAD

#

I got so many bleed proc damage boost effects

#

Condemned spawned in and just exploded

#

Very good team, nobody went down

#

I had 2000 hp and enough flask restore boosts to fully heal from nothing so I was PREPARED for a long fight

#

9 flasks

#

It was the perfect run

#

This relic is ass

#

Its almost the same goddamn relic

#

If there was a time to stick "attack up after defeating a night invader" on a guaranteed relic it would have been this one

#

We do not need A SECOND RELIC THAT BUILDS MADNESS WHEN CROSS LEGGED

#

WE DONT EVEN HAVE MADNESS SYNERGY SKILLS OR TALISMANS

limpid roost
#

Does the Night Invader effect work on The Condemned?

bitter oar
#

I dont know but I assume it does

#

I sure hope it does

#

It says theyre condemned

#

God this relic is so bad and the same as the last one which was bad, it pisses me off a little

#

Libra you asshole

#

I guess the only other "trick" to his fight is that I think stance breaking him now just enrages him, which prevents him from doing any of his gimmicks

#

So if you stance break him enough he gets mad and you can fight him normally for awhile until he does his rotation

#

Got him on my 13th attempt...

limpid roost
#

Notes from sources; Libra's magic is Holy Damage
||When Libra is inflicted with Madness, any active Condemned will turn on him||

||"The Demon Incites a Riot" also makes them able to randomly target him||

"Attack Power Up After Defeating a Night Invader" is only +7% and does not stack*

bitter oar
#

Fascinating

#

There is a lot to his fight you will simply just not notice because you are too busy trying to survive

#

I think if you know EVERYTHING about the fight

#

It becomes significantly easier

#

He's a fight you need to actually research about because it is mechanically packed, not just new attacks

#

It'd be impossible to communicate that to randoms but I guess you should NOT use madness weapons against him until he summons

#

Or else you're just making it harder to turn the condemned on him

bitter oar
#

I think that, knowing what I know now, and keeping in mind you arent guaranteed to get madness weapon to use against him...

#

I would bump up the summon time to 60 seconds and make the npc pebbles heal more and restore some FP

#

And that would be it if I were to do a first balance pass

#

Just to make going for a long fight a bit more viable if you dont have all the tools to enrage him and kill him before he goes back to summoning

spring kiln
#

i have not had a successful run against libra since that one win the other day

#

lot of them got close

bitter oar
#

I had 1 close run and then my 1 win

#

And almost every other run he was still at 50% hp when we lost

#

So a lot of disparity

spring kiln
#

i made some tweaks to my relics and i could feel the extra power. unfortunately this run also failed because of the usual stuff.

#

I do want to try duchess with skill reduction on everything

#

I have enough to do +2,+2,+3 with some compromises to the other relic perks on it with some class exclusives for other classes on them

got a second win

rev left us early on but this wylder and i did really well. it was more manageable as a duo compared to trios.

really good wylder too, we hit all the evergoals on the map

bitter oar
spring kiln
#

it's been a while but i had another match where i am completely stunned that the game did not censor their name

#

no clever attempts to dodge the censor with a 1 instead of an i, it's all text

spring kiln
#

might take another break from nightreign until the next round of buffed bosses

#

there's speculation about a new mode coming but nothing official by fromsoft themselves. that'll suck me back in for sure. i'll still be active in this channel.

spring kiln
prime palm
#

The new mode is coming, it's just a question of when, a lot of the data for it is already in the game

bitter oar
#

Some kinda endless mode? Or something about ranked runs?

prime palm
#

Ranked mode with ||more relic slots for special new relics that give more bonuses but also have downsides, the game will also have tougher enemies||

languid bane
#

Wth

bitter oar
#

Yknow, relics with upsides and downsides does sound pretty good

#

Game could stand to be more random or punishing beyond your own bad play

#

Which sounds terrible but it is meant to be a rougelite

#

Or like

#

Whichever one

#

I'd take stronger relics for a downside

languid igloo
#

i hate abilities that have downsides

spring kiln
#

depends what kind of downsides they give us

#

if it's worth the cost or isn't an intrusive downside i'll take it

inner trench
#

-INT on Raider xdd

bitter oar
#

-1 flask

spring kiln
#

reduced dmg of a given affinity maybe?

#

i expect some negative versions of the bonuses we can get in game right now

#

we sort of have that in the game already with some talismans

#

something like 13% more fire attack power at the cost of -3% damage negation

spring kiln
#

i'll be honest, i forgot this dog was getting a buffed version now. i only remembered the other three bosses from the announcement .

bitter oar
#

He might be one of the most interesting ones cause his 2nd phase is not a strict buff

#

It is just 3 dogs

#

Wonder if we'll just have to fight 3 dogs and kill them all at the same time or they revive

#

They havent done that yet

sharp bluff
#

Phase 2: a secret fourth dog

bitter oar
#

A secret, more sinister option

steel seal
#

The dogs separate into 3 and those can also separate into 3 of their own

bitter oar
#

The dogs enter phase 3 and a 3-headed Artorias joins the fight

spring kiln
#

each dog gets a greatsword when they split

#

holster joins the fight in the 2nd phase

sharp bluff
#

The greatsword splits into 3 okayswords

spring kiln
#

each dog gets a moonlight greatsword

#

You load into the fight and Tricephalos is instead replaced by Sif, the Gravetender dog from DS3, and the Red Wolf but specifically the one from Ranni's plateau

spring kiln
sharp bluff
#

Ranni's plateau wolf Awaree

#

Easy there satan

bitter oar
#

I hate that one specifically

#

The one from the frozen outskirts area is also not great

sharp bluff
#

Yeah it's funny because the actual "boss" one is pretty easy

#

But there's a couple out in the map that're straight up brutal

bitter oar
#

Because they lose the greatsword attacks that actually give it windows of vulnerability

#

Radagon gave Renalla ONE dog and apparently had like 5 others that were way stronger

Just spread throughout the world

I forgot they were even in the game for the longest time

100 hours or something

Waa so confused when I actually got one because I simply forgot it was even in the game

#

Lost my first run against Tricephalos

#

Dude is aura farming HARD at the start of the fight

bitter oar
#

If Gladius came out first before Adel he would've blown minds

Feels like a good fight so far

Lost a 2nd time

He just does a metric ton of damage

Its like fighting a giant 3 headed Abyss Watcher...

Abyss Watchers cut out the middle-man;

Instead of fighting like wolves, BECOME the Wolf! geegaWoke

bitter oar
#

I feel like I'm washed or something. The fight isnt THAT different. Its like, Libra-adjacent. Not as chaotic but they gave this dog so much health'

#

Frankly its the kinda bump up other bosses couldve used too

#

But it just hits SO hard

limpid roost
#

Harder-Hitting + Sword Slashes now leave a damaging trail in their wake, so the old rolling patterns don't apply geegaSalute

bitter oar
#

||Oh my god theres a fourth phase||

#

I think not counting Libra because he is his own special kind of difficulty, Tricephalos is definitely the hardest straight up fight

#

If every other boss had the same amount of health? Maybe it'd be more similar

#

But Libra and Tricephalos seem to just have more health than everything else. An appropriate amount of health

#

I wonder if they'll go back and buff up the original everdarks since they seemed to be playing them just a little safe compared to what they're doing now

#

Caligo also has a lot of health but Caligo always had a lot of health

#

Adel, Fulghor, and pests all seemed like they had very similar amounts of health to their originals, and not massively increased damage in the case of Fulghor or pests

#

Adel had a lot more damage but its Adel. If you get hit by it you deserve it

bitter oar
#

The dog is now dead with my boy Guardian

#

Tough fight

First tried dog, much more manageable than Libra, still really cool improvement

Wonder if the bosses will be everdark versions by default

hoary summit
#

Been awhile since ive played this. Can anyone confirm if the players are just doing the evergaol strat or runs are varied enough?

limpid roost
bitter oar
#

Evergaols are still pretty strong but I think randos dont usually aim for ALL of them

#

Just any along the path they take

sharp bluff
#

Yeah lately I don't feel like randos beeline to them too early, which is nice

#

I do still get people trying to hit up the City way too early in Day 1 sometimes but that's not too often either

bitter oar
#

Honestly Ive seen people do that

#

And you kinda can

#

You have to leave in the 2nd half but you can explore the northern half of the map and loot the rooftops

#

Hit lvl 7 or 8 killing relatively easy Mausoleum Knight bosses

#

Get higher quality drops

sharp bluff
#

Yeah there are a couple chances to get legendaries really early if you find chests, it's not a total loss but I still feel like you're better off leveling in day 1 and then just spend most of day 2 tearing the city up

bitter oar
#

Lvl 7 by night 1 isnt bad, can get higher if you have an Ironeye to kill the larval Astel easily

#

Its like 20k runes

#

finally we got the official announcement

Oh baby

Also giga mode releasing the 11th

#

Actualy significant balance patch today as well

#

All characters aside from Iron Eye got at least minor buffs

#

Fair enough on these ICANT

bitter oar
#

Other things of note

#

Depending on how good this is, it may be like a free single hit for Recluse now

#

Which I think is more useful because she was already super squishy. A bit more hp doesnt stop her from getting 1-shot by nightlords. But a single big boost of hp could

#

Wolves can now stagger, but they did not implement such a change for Bell Bearing Hunter. He continues to aura farm

#

Farming in the night 2 storm will now be harder. Also hopefully people confuse lightning and holy less

g-g-guys.... he's coming

#

cant wait to play mace lady

inner trench
#

Undertaker seems really cool

#

Curious to see what Scholar will specialize in

languid bane
#

ya, looks really fun and hopefully we get a new map

bitter oar
#

Guardian and Raider are both Str/Vig/End tanks, Wylder is Str/Dex, Ironeye is Dex, Duchess is Dex/Int, Executor is Dex/Arc, Recluse is Int/Fth, Revenant is Fth, Undertaker will be Fth/Str

#

So what archetype is left for Scholar? Int/Str?

#

Or maybe a more Arcane-leaning Int/Fth caster?

#

It could be Fth/Dex but that doesn't really have any support or thematic history, besides them making lightning infusion scale with dex in Elden Ring

#

And it would probably be strange to have two Faith-leaning classes in the DLC

#

So I guess my bet would be more on Arcane

#

Cause Executor is our only other Arcane user and dear god his FP is so shit, he cant even spam weapon skills without running out immediately

#

Though in terms of "generalist" casting, Recluse kinda dominates there still. Maybe he wont be made of wet paper

west summit
#

idk, she has a mace so str/fth is on the table innit?

inner trench
#

Yeah for Undertaker one of the Fromsoft posts mentioned her using "her faith and strength", Scholar I haven't seen on of those for

inner trench
west summit
#

oh, reading comprehension is hard

I can see him being a High Arcane / Int Caster, with what appears to be an AOE Utility Ulti that applies a Mark to all targets hit. (Damage Amp like Ironeye that doesn't last as long or gives a reward on hit, perhaps?)

So it looks like his art or his skill is some kind of life link

#

Between allies and between enemies

spring kiln
#

they showed it in his trailer but i want to see a full boss fight against libra with him in the party

inner trench
bitter oar
#

Nice, I was right about the damage sharing art. Team heal off it is nice

#

No clue what his skill entails though

#

And an item-centric passive is... interesting

#

Will be hilarious if the DLC adds in the giant throwing pots

inner trench
#

His passive is probably gonna be pretty useless or completely broken with little in between xdd

bitter oar
#

People fighting avatars too early I guess if theyre ranked that highly...

#

Pot-troll being that high is disgusting

I know why its there but I doubt most of the kills are coming from the trolls people are actively fighting

What in the world are those abilities, holy moly

#

Anti-air Ult is killer

bitter oar
#

Yeah they didnt even explain what she does

#

Skill does... an auto dodge? Maybe? Puts a hat on her hat?

#

Art looks like a forced stagger, with repeatable casts? Kinda crazy but very single target

sharp bluff
#

Yeah I was wondering if the first skill was something like that

bitter oar
#

She doesnt auto dodge out of her own attack when she trades with the lion so either its just enhanced manual dodging or it only dodges if she would get staggered

#

Okay so

#

Her skill just enhances her everything

#

She looks NUTS

#

DEMON PRINCE????

sharp bluff
#

Str/Faith at last HUZZAH

#

Oh my god she seems crazy good

bitter oar
#

She's big damage

#

So we know we're getting Artorias and Demon Prince

#

2 bosses from Souls DLC

sharp bluff
#

Ult stacking with Duchess is hilarious

bitter oar
#

I feel like we are definitely getting someone from DS2 also if thats the case

#

So the question is who

#

I think the safest bet is Fume Knight

#

But I really kinda want Ivory King

#

Alonne is a possibility but I dont think he would handle a group fight very well

#

I also want a bunch of bosses from DS3 honestly. Pontiff at least

#

Champ Gundyr or DSA would be cool

#

Abyss Watchers, obviously

#

I'm not sure who we would get from SotE, if anyone... mostly cause the major bosses are all ball busters

#

Might as well be fighting the nightlord at that point

bitter oar
#

I was right

#

S in Arcane

Knowing that he loves items this would actually make him insane with things like fly pots

spring kiln
#

first run of the new area, absolutely stomped but i am in awe of the area design

bitter oar
#

Played my first run as scholar

#

I have misunderstood what his skill does, I think

#

I watched an entire Azula Beastmen goal evaporate when I hit them with my art and then an undertaker used hers

#

Okay so his skill only debuffs enemies or buffs himself, I thought it buffed allies

#

And his art's damage share is actually only 20% of the damage any target takes

#

So not THAT crazy but depending on the aoe you bring, against 2 targets that could be a 40% damage increase

#

On top of healing your team as damage gets done like with Recluse

spring kiln
#

third time around went pretty well but we died during the new boss's (those warrior maiden ones from the trailer) second phase

bitter oar
#

I just had a run with probably pretty high damage for a scholar

#

Ran into a blood ruin at the start, popped art, watched a bunch of zombies just explode

#

Got a bloody Rogier's Rapier with Seppuku on it

#

Eventually dual wielded it with a Frozen Needle

#

Pretty damn strong

I really am disappointed they for some reason couldnt get SotE weapons in this DLC though

I've yet to kill Mr Dreglord (though got really close twice now) and he is a definite contender for Top 3 boss in this game

had the most stacked run for the dredlord but unfortunately we have some back timing with his big aoe when two of us went down that we all got wiped

if that didn't happen, 100% would of won that

got relics for scholar, he feels good but i don't want to see myself matchmake with more than one scholar, two can still work but god forbid we have a full party of scholars that is probably not going to go well

just like ds1 geegaHelp

#

geegaStare i might be misrembering, i think he only did this in his intro and it wasn't a grab in ds1, just does the combo movement.

spring kiln
languid igloo
#

dlc boss is something

bitter oar
#

Took Scholar into my first run of the new DLC map

#

Kinda went horribly

#

He really doesnt do any damage

#

Especially since the main goal of the map seems to be breaking the big crystal to do a boss rush

#

The map feels kinda small

#

Im not sure if its because its underground or because the crystal takes up such a large part of the map or because most of the bosses seem to be in the boss rush

hoary summit
#

the new map is kinda hyper linear unless youre ok with knowing where the bottomless pits are and where the layers of the map actually are

#

also scholar needs arcane weapons and thrusting swords i think are 100% ass for him

spring kiln
spring kiln
#

you can get more dmg in with relics like one that gives your ult damage over time, more dexterity for thrusting swords at the cost of some arcane

bitter oar
#

Yeah but issue is the game ultimately comes down to wanting more damage assuming everyone is good at the game. Scholar can support but even that is reliant on relics outside of his art

#

His art can be good but is pretty much useless against a single boss outside the heal. But Recluse's art also heals, and then you have a Recluse

#

I guess he does let you kill camps SUPER fast. And if youve got an Ironeye on your team, if you coordinate you can blow up any group with combo arts

#

I should give him more time I guess. I need his relics

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

Oh yeah does the new map even have evergaols? I feel like I somehow didnt see them on the map

spring kiln
hoary summit
#

i dont think so? but that portion where youre at cursed health pool is obnoxious

bitter oar
#

So the new map doesnt have any evergaols? Bruh

hoary summit
#

i dont remember seeing any

#

but ive only been there a handful of times

bitter oar
#

Would be weird if it didnt

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

Whole DLC so far feels... weird... Im still stuck on then not being able to put in SotE weapons for some reason

spring kiln
#

also shifting earths do tend to get rid of evergaols, granted this shifting earth is basically a whole damn map

bitter oar
#

I woulda taken Ringed City weapons too

#

Yeah I dont know why its a shifting earth

#

Especially since it only shows up with the new bosses

#

Just... make it work with every boss?

spring kiln
#

clear the tower, get a rune blessing at the top

#

overall i really like this map BUT the spots where you can get screwed over by the bottomless pits during the end of night do suck. most we can do is keep an eye on where we are during the day to avoid those situations

#

adding a well spring jump to a few spots might fix this issue

bitter oar
#

Damn Mohg be doin some bullshit

#

So I did find a slight fix for Scholar's damage

#

Get a ritual bell and just use that instead

#

It does good damage

#

I do see the value of Scholar though, I think

#

I will admit, he kinda just sucks at boss fighting. Maybe there is value in his debuffs, I dont know how strong they are

#

But I think where he is supposed to be good... is wiping out camps super duper fast

#

Because he's slow to kill bosses, but they dont have time limits. At least not the nightlord and end of day bosses

#

You can take as long as you want with them

#

His value might be more in wiping out camps, getting extra rooms, and saving time there

#

Begs the question though, if you wanted to clear camps quickly, would you want Scholar? Or an Ironeye that just blind fires through the camp?

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

Oh wait a second I just realized how to use his skill

#

Nevermind yeah its pretty good

inner trench
#

He's been great in long slugfests like the Dreglord, where every damage down debuff actually matters

bitter oar
#

This map is rough

#

This guy sucks

#

We GOTTA stop coming here man

#

So this place is the castle of this map

#

But fucked up and evil

#

I hate this place

bitter oar
#

This run kinda turned around a bit and started looking better despite me losing 60k runes at the start

#

But fuuuuuck the valkyries are tough

#

Scholar has some really good parts about him but his overall poor combat stats make it so hard to not just fall over dead if you get hit

#

Like his skill acting as a stagger WHENEVER if you time the counter window is incredibly strong on its own

#

Thats like all of Raider's skill utility, but he has to take damage to do it

#

Scholar can just do that if you prime an analysis and wait for the enemy to hit you

#

But if you DO get hit you just explode

#

What the fuck is a dormant power

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

See

#

People dont wanna do that

#

Because theyd have to look for them

#

We spawn RIGHT next to it

#

Its basically free runes

#

Nobody dies to Erdtree Avatars anyways

spring kiln
#

i have been caught by a few attacks

#

those large sweeps or overhead club slams that hang for like a second

bitter oar
#

Jesus christ my current team just dumpstered a Mohg so hard

#

FINALLY the Valkyries are beaten

#

I sure as hell didnt carry though

#

Incredible run but Scholar is just made of paper

#

At least against the Valkyries

#

Its funny, you'd think his art would be good against them

#

But unless your whole team groups up to fight them all together, they just separate out of your range

#

And then you cant really make use of your analysis counter because trying to keep track of the 2-3 that go after you doesnt really work in his favor

bitter oar
#

I wouldnt say Artorias feels fully modernized

#

But its nice to see him flattening people

#

You're fucking kidding me theres a second phase to the Dreglord

#

I see now why you said every bit of healing helps

#

Half my job that fight as Guardian was just trying to stay alive and block long enough to get my art back to revive someone if they needed it

#

That was a really good team too, all things considered

#

And also my first Dreglord fight

#

Fuck thats brutal

spring kiln
spring kiln
#

or some other strong attacks

bitter oar
#

The issue is having all that ready when all the valkyries are next to eachother

#

Which is not often, assuming everyone is split up

#

Which they probably will

#

Speaking of valkyries

#

Their raid effect is so disruptive, it made someone on our team leave the game

#

And then we got Death Knights for our night 1 boss and that did not go well

#

Incredibly fucked up to put them in the game and then not give us their weapons

spring kiln
bitter oar
#

2nd run against Dreglord, kinda shit on him

#

Went in as Guardian with a Recluse and Scholar

#

We had all the healing we could ever need

#

I had a very sturdy greatshield

#

And made fire pillars and shot frenzy bursts while I walked

#

I pretty much just put my shield up and walked at him

#

Also, I have only now realized

#

If you have a weapon with a "restore hp on attack" effect, it counts ANY hit you do as an attack

#

So all the fire pillars, frenzied bursts, and tornado pretty much turned it into a regen build. The scarlet rot could not kill me

#

My goat Guardian saves me once again by exploiting boss weaknesses: only doing physical damage

#

What the fuck does this even mean

#

Is the first effect like... a separate effect? Like a % change?

#

Is it a more pronounced stat growth change? To try and skew them towards a different build entirely?

spring kiln
tribal sonnet
#

Yeah, that's "Find Crossbows more often" in Soulsese.

languid igloo
#

man the guy with the pillars made my camera pray for her life

bitter oar
#

Quick note about Scholar's art since I'm testing it right now: it lasts 20 seconds

#

The relic effect that makes it deal damage to enemies makes the initial cast do 30 damage, then 19 pulses of 15 damage

#

Each enemy linked shares 20% damage, so effectively a 3 damage increase per second per enemy linked beyond the first one. 315 damage total against a single enemy, ~57 more damage per enemy linked over the whole duration

bitter oar
#

Also Dormant Power is apparently, specifically, what boss drops are called

#

Thats what they've been this entire time. Dormant Power

#

So the relic effect that makes you find certain items more will appear as boss drops

bitter oar
#

Note to self: using Undertaker's Trance and then just starting to use Wild Swings is very effective

bitter oar
#

Would everyone else agree that Harmonia is tougher than the Dreglord?

tribal sonnet
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OK

bitter oar
bitter oar
#

Got a pretty solid build for Scholar goin...

abstract needle
#

Everdark Tricephalos is kicking my random groups asses. Might have to result to Shield gaming

bitter oar
#

Yeah dark dog ended up being one of the harder ones. They gave it so much HP

#

They did that with a lot of the later everdark bosses

#

They shoulda done it with all of them tbh. The earlier everdark bosses still die too fast compared to their normal versions

bitter oar
#

Very small minor benefit to Scholar's art in adition to everything else, but

#

The allies that get threaded together also share damage taken while they're downed

#

So if you pop his art, you can hit 1 ally and get rez progress on the other

#

So he does have revive support too

bitter oar
#

Did they buff everdark Gnoster at some point cause they feel like they have SO much health before

#

I feel like the boss killed itself before

inner trench
#

Everdark Gnoster I think always was pretty chonky, but they might have tweaked how much it uses to rez

tribal sonnet
hoary summit
#

The wraith calling bell was nice but does not hold a candle to pot bombs

bitter oar
#

Yeah but you get a LOT of bell uses

hoary summit
#

very true

bitter oar
#

Yknow I heard that Scholar's relic that buffs his dex scaling makes him S scaling

#

And I feel like that might be more worthwhile

#

Cause his arcane scaling is good but status effects fall off pretty quickly against bosses

#

And very few weapons actually have arcane scalings, at least as far as I can tell. There are no Blood weapons, just weapons with bleed

#

There are no Occult weapons

#

Plus a lot of his strength comes from his really really strong skills

#

Damn switching to that relic nearly doubles his dex scaling

#

Antspur Rapier goes from 84 dmg at lvl 15 to 131

#

Maybe it'd be more valuable if we had the DLC weapons... give him a damn Bloodfiend Arm

#

Now that'd be a prime weapon for him

#

Wtf not even the Staff of the Guilty, Frenzied Flame Seal, or Dragon Communion Seal scale with arcane

#

Its just int or faith? Yeah worthless on him then

#

Outside the Ripple Axe and Halberd and then all of Mohg's weapons, he doesnt really have anything benefiting from Arcane. Plus you can still use them, and most of Mogh's weapons are dex leaning anyways

#

And the Marais weapons, I guess. I never see em.

tribal sonnet
bitter oar
#

This shit is haunting me now that I lowered my arcane

#

Ran into a Condemned Scholar during the Everdark Libra fight that just had no weapons

#

I'm not sure what they meant by that

#

Maybe they're calling him useless in combat

bitter oar
#

The Scholar with no weapon spams Omen Bairns and fly pots at you

abstract needle
#

Man balancers just feels doomed if no sleep weapon spawns

bitter oar
#

I dont think Ive seen anyone use sleep on them

tribal sonnet
#

They do 100% physical damage, so if you find a shield with some nice stability, you are SET

abstract needle

all the attacks are physical?

Probably not the ground shockwaves or the blade beams but they dont do those much

It really is kinda fucked up to give The Balancers a weakness to sleep and then not add the DLC deep sleep weapons, huh

#

Which doesnt expand the pool a bunch but its more than just literally 2 weapons, and only 1 actual weapon

#

And sleep pots, I guess

#

It did seem like the non-crystal map had a high chance of spawning sleep weapons when fighting them

bitter oar
#

Yeah but 30 or something sleep per hit is a far cry from dedicated sleep weapons. Unless youve got it on a bow I guess

Patch is mostly bug fixes but this sounds cool if it means what I think it means

New technically Everdark version of Balancers is up

bitter oar
#

Wait what

#

Are they actually?

inner trench
#

Yup, it's Everdark difficulty but since they're technically not part of the Night, they get a special name

#

Can't check it out but I expect it to be very mean

bitter oar
#

Wow did not think they were gonna just drop them like that so soon

#

Fuck now I gotta go deal with that eventually

tribal sonnet
#

So soon?!

#

So uhhhh I’ve seen them (not yet fought) and this might be the most insane Everdark Variant yet

I just got spoiled on the everdark balancer on twitter before I could play but HOLY FUCK

bitter oar
#

The spoiler did not prepare me for the actual fight at all

#

Oh my god

#

I honestly do not see how they will top this fight

#

In shock value and just... what the fuck

#

Dreglord better bring some HEAT

ANOTHER KEITH GARCES MASTERPIECE

#

Balancers HardMode Discovery;

||The Ulcerated Imbalancer Spirit form is covered in scabs. Breaking the scabs SPECIFICALLY ends the phase and gives you a DPS window as the main Imbalancer gets up slowly. The "you failed the DPS check" attack is the flower nuke. It has extreme damage resistance on spots that aren't the scabs.||

#

yeah forreal, seeing that for the first time was;

#

brain stop worky

bitter oar
#

Hard part is catching up to the damn thing. Its not a fight you can do cleanly, you'll be taking some kind of chip damage

#

You can outrun it at least

#

You gotta run REALLY far though

#

Jumping seems to be better than rolling, since most of the BIG BOOMS are ground based AOEs.

However, the blooms have a big hitbox when they explode too, so it's still so rough.
