      that is not even slightly true, most of the coolest weapons hit like freight trains. Godslayer's Greatsword - 10k+ damage on aow. Bolt of Gransax, Dragonking's Cragblade - have pushed both to 8k damage on aow. Messmer's Spear - 14k damage on aow. Siluria's Tree - I literally killed putrescent knight in FOUR ash of war uses. I could go on, most of the unique weapons with good ashes of war can be insanely optimised in this game.

      if you know how to build around your damage talismans (shard of alex, godfrey icon, scorpion charms, rotten winged, etc), are using basic buffs like golden vow and fgms, and are using the right physick tears, doing that much damage isn't even hard. No billion buffs with hat changing and madness self-inflicting or any of that bs, just one or two spell buffs and a physick.

And more importantly, why are there two variants when it could’ve just been one weapon with 2 weapon art follow-ups out of a stance? Genuinely bad design imo, don’t know what they were thinking with that one

    • @chrisp9824
      @chrisp9824 Před 15 dny +14

      The way this weapon works is just poor game design, I know it's a hot take but like you said - it just doesn't flow with other game mechanics to the point where it flows in exactly the opposite direction. Maaaaaaaybe there is a build with like malenia rune, new lifesteal physic, some good defense and hp regen so you could maybe perhaps BY SOME MIRACLE beat a boss by just wailing at him and get that buffs in the process.... that's the biggest maybe of the century so still it's just a bad design. Almost like there was one dude who didn't do shit for any from game ever and now suddenly he can design a weapon mechanic, not understanding any previous design philosophy.

    • @TheStraightestWhitest
      @TheStraightestWhitest Před 8 dny

      They should just:
      1. Up the damage of both charges by about 50% (yes)
      2. Reduce the current buildup cost by 80%
      3. Give the second charge hyperarmor equal to the Gold Breaker Ash of War from Marika's Hammer to ensure we can actually pull it off
      If they do all that, it's still not going to be a good weapon compared to just slapping bleed on a katana or Peeler/BKTB, but it'll at least be fun to use.

  • @theroadstopshere
    @theroadstopshere Před 21 dnem +11

    Based on the general weapon/skill design they seem to be going with here, it seems likely that the backend of the code works a bit like this:
    Base Weapon starts with 0 stacks of 'hits', using the first of three movesets and damage tables. Each hit with the weapon using that table grants a certain number of 'hit' stacks, with the light attacks granting something like 1 stack per connection (since twinblade light attacks can hit 2x each, that averages to 2 stacks per light attack) tied to a boolean check ("Did weapon connect? If yes, +1") at certain frames of the animation. For charged attacks, there is likely a small table of stack values based on how much the attack was charged up which are used instead of the +1 for lights; jumping heavy and light probably both just have set values for each check based on the length of the animation required. These stacks are checked both every second or so and after each animation, decaying by one each check.
    Once some number of 'hit' stacks are acquired (based on the numbers here I'd hazard a guess at 10 stacks), the weapon switches moveset, animation, and damage tables to the first buffed form. Then, the weapon stays in that form until either the next buff threshold is met (If we're using these number again, likely 20) or the stacks fully decay to 0. The same is true of the second level buff, but until it drops to below the first threshold and then is moved down to the set of tables for the first buff. Using the AoW on the second level buff also automatically drains all stacks, seemingly regardless of whether you get the full animation off or not (although I'd have to review the footage more carefully or do the testing on my own to be sure).
    Since the stacks are tied to hit register checks, rather than damage numbers or kills, it sits in a weird place where maximizing scaling damage on it actually reduces the likelihood of getting and maintaining the buff during regular use, while doing a stamina build with minimal damage stats where you simply focus on maximizing hits is actually rewarded with more consistent flat damage buffs and access to the higher-tier AoW. This would actually make it uniquely suited for doing a build with max vigor, mind, endurance, etc and minimal damage stats, as you would be getting more out of this weapon by investing less in base damage. It's fascinating in how much more like a traditional "skill trade-off" video game weapon it becomes when compared to normal Fromsoft weapons when that is taken into mind, with trading out lower base damage and flexibility for more consistent access to the buffs and the stronger AoW. Really not something we see From experiment with very often, at least not to this degree. I can see why it was left out of the base game, it's a very odd weapon when compared to their normal roster, and doesn't really fit well in the sandbox as a result. Especially without any similarly-designed weapons in other categories, or a clear damage advantage offered by using it, it really is just an odd duck of a weapon despite how cool it is.
    Know a lot of this is just kinda rephrasing what was said here, but hopefully this makes sense as a coding/design theory. Appreciate the weapon showcase and breakdown! I've really been wondering about this thing, but haven't had the time to do proper testing or video study. Thanks for your work!

    This weapon would be awesome in a turn based RPG. The problem with all the cool shit you can do in any FROM game is that you have no window to use it unless you've completely mastered the fight, and even then it's just fluff. You're better off with power stanced straight swords L1 spamming, jump attacking/running attacking with dual curved swords, two-handed great to colossal tier weapons and so on. Too many weapon arts and incantations specifically feel useless as fuck, as though they were made for a different game where you can watch the spectacle and not get staggered out of your zero hyper armour attack that doesn't do nearly enough damage to justify using it over a regular attack.

    @Coansp Před 21 dnem +5

    it’s pretty good in my experience. I personally stuck with regular light attacks and running lights, with two handed sword talisman, holy scorpion charm, and both consecutive attack talismans. When using all 3 consecutive attack buffs (2 talisman and the cracked tear) the two handed r1 combo can do wonders. Gaining the special buff was pretty inconsistent though, I’ll either instantly reach max buff (especially fast buildup with the horseback charged heavy) or never even get the first. When optimally buffed with 18 scadutree fragments lv160, not counting the consecutive attack buffs I was getting around 2100 damage per light attack against the final DLC boss. Melts first phase, and the skill is primed and ready for the start of 2nd phase and deals 3-4k with the projectile alone. Overall a fun weapon, and imo blasphemous blade should have worked this way as well, since that’s how it works when rykard uses it in the bossfight. Where you need to build up a bar by attacking before you can use takers flames, so it rewards an engaging playstyle. (I have beef with blasphemous blade/no skill weapon skill spamming builds/jumping attack spam/status effects/any cheesy strat)

      im being honest, those numbers are actually really low considering the weapon isnt buffable, you can just replace it with 2 great spears and instantly get triple that damage with the same speed. Only difference is the euporia is rlly good against bosses that cant move... obviously that applies to comet azure as well so its not really that special considering it mimics the better variant.

It being complicated and such is interesting though because a weapon being strong in a souls game doesn't matter as every single weapon is a viable way to beat the game so the only thing that matters if it changes your playstyle which this does so that's great.

Every single thing that drops from this DLC should be balanced with that in mind, and it's obscene that barely anything we get in this DLC is actually powerful enough to be worth changing your build or weapon setup for.

    I think each hit adds duration and the charge increases the duration, so if you do all the attacks quickly you have accumulated the timer fully at once so it will appear to last longer. I'd recommend starting a timer at the time of the first hit to test this.

    • @petercottantail7850
      @petercottantail7850 Před 6 dny

      i tested it pretty extensively and its more like a self inflicting status, theres no +timer per hit, its just thresholds you have to reach. the reason you can keep the first buff going so long is because it resets the duration everytime you meet the first threshold. the buff lasts 15 seconds
      and even when you hit the threshold, your total doesn't reset so getting the first threshold again can be very fast.
      and instead of each hit, it's tied to the motion value of the weapon, so an r1 does 1.5 buildup cause the first hit does 50% extra damage. while one handed each hit does 1 buildup. the total you need is 4, and a decay of -0.25, a second, the 2nd buff needs 8 total.
      fastest way to get first buff is uncharged r2 into fullycharged r2.
      It's so complicated to type out but that's the gist of it. also seeing this video show powerstance build up first buff after 4 l1's so they both count to the same total but it takes longer to swing both of them overall. my idea of making it work is to use cypher pita and hit a boss with charged r2s till you get stance break then use this and hit the boss with 4 charged r2s to get max buffs.

    Besides removing the decay the timer on the buff itself feels unnecessary. 35/80 holy is nice but not busted by any means and you probably want to use the ash of war anyway.
    One question I do have: if you hit more than 1 enemy with a swing do you get more build up?

    I finished the dlc but this is the first time I heard of it. Where do I get it even?

    So euporia buffs are like mosnter hunter longsword but overall instead of building up meter to use a combo that buffs you for a longer period of time, it is the damage buff

    Twinblades in general needed a buff, I find them really cool and would love to build around them but if it's not the infamous eleonara's poleblade and godskin peeler power stance, it has no reason to choose them over other weapons

    Can you fully charge it, put it in inventory then pull it out when you fight a boss and put it away?

      No the timer is tied to the character not the weapon
