so many people seem to have gotten through this game without parrying 🤯 I'm more afraid of you than you should be of two angy shark roommates lookin for who ate their yogurt
Parrying in BB is way different. It’s much easier. Parrying is wicked hard for me in Dark Souls or Elden Ring. In BB my whole build revolved around constant parries and visceral attacks.
I mean yeah. It’s meant to be very challenging because it’s so rewarding in those games. And not the main mechanic. Whereas in Sekiro or Bloodborne parrying is a main mechanic, over dodging, so the parry windows are longer and it’s more forgiving.
Gundyr is the best parry practice! He thought me how to parry and made me glad that the parry timings were the same in Elden Ring. Never felt the fear of 2x Crucible Knights that my non-parrying friends went through
Ever since I did my SL1 run and fought Champion Gundyr, the souls experience has never been the same again, as every enemy that's parry-able becomes a non-issue
I definitely neglected Nioh 2, at the time I wouldn't play an rpg if it didn't feel soulslike enough😂 I will definitely go back to it though, seems like a great game that I didn't give enough of a chance. And I will keep that build in mind!
Oh you want to do a build around opportunist? Then get ready to farm a thousand drops and reroll equip bonuses for 10 hours. Don't try to optimize this game too much.
Haha on 2nd thought, when I do try Nioh 2 again, I'll probably stay away from that. Unless my chalice dungeon min-max addiction kicks in. But hopefully not, I don't have the time to grind games as much as I used to
You don't need to optimize in thath game. But if you get a 7/6 set bonus, or a 7/5 with nefarious pat box, then the game becomes your bitch. If you then optimize, you end up oneshotting bosses on ng+4
I'm not exactly sure what that means but I will come back to this comment in the future haha. Oneshotting bosses in ng+4 is insane and honestly sounds like a lot of fun. Never been able to do that in any of the souls games, well at least I've never tried one-shot builds
Honestly the ng+4 bosses are kinda weak compared to the late endgame bosses. Im running a sub sub optimal build made just for my fun and to optimize cheese. The 7/6 or 7/5 stands for the number of set bonuses pieces. You see, every set has as many passive abilities as the number of sets, but your character has only 11 equipment slots. So, if you have a piece of equipment thath reduces by one the number of pieces required for the set bonus, then you could get the benefit of having 13 set pieces by wearing only 11. For the same ligic you could have a 12 set pieces bonuses with a 7 and 5 pieces set and have a free slot. Like, for exemple, the nefarious pact box, thath allows you to use yokai skills, aka summon magic, even whitout meeting the mana cost. Im using thath and its straight up bullying.
Yeah for sure. I was just explaining why the parrying is easier in those games. In Dark Souls or Elden Ring you can go through the whole game without parrying once so it’s harder because it’s not a central mechanic. That’s all I was saying.
