Would I be better avoiding the DLC until I play and beaten the game? Or should I experience whatever characters it offers from the start?

You mean buying the DLC or playing it? You should buy it so that the DLC weapons are added to your potential weapon drops. You shouldn't play the DLC until after you near the end of the main story because the DLC maps are kind of brutal.

Hyrule Warriors has the most effective allied troops in Musou history and that is a terribly depressing state of affairs because Hylian Captains can barely survive going to the toilet by themselves.

We can't keep up... :negative:

I love when a giant boss shows up and your allies have no idea what to do about it. They'll let themselves get trampled by the Imprisoned over and over for no reason.

On one hand, the Boss Rush Mode looks really frustrating.

On the other hand, Ganon Mode actually looks fun... :allears:

Moveset of Ganon. What I don't understand is 'boss attack'. EDIT: I'm dumb. they're his version of sub-weapons.

So you basically get just about all of his attacks to use for yourself, I see.

In news that doesn't really surprise me but that some folks were worried about, people are reporting that the Max Rupees Glitch still works in 1.6.0.

Pretty hard to get A ranks with Ganon when part of being a huge monster is not seeing tiny but buffed officers pecking away at you. Dunno what the exact damage thresholds for ranks are, but I got like 20000 damage in one mission and still got silver for it.

So how does Ganon lure out giant bosses weak point meters? (I can wait a week to see on my own, just curious for those who know now)

Spoilered just in case

Basically when Ganon defeats a giant boss, they may drop their boss power. King Dodongo beats Argorok, Argorok beats Manhandla, Manhandla beats Gohma and Gohma beats King Dodongo. You just have to hit them with the correct boss power and they reveal their weak spot, no waiting for certain attacks required. The Imprisoned is still a dick and has no weak point and drops no boss power, but you can easily stun-lock him to death with the basic weak combo, same as the other giant bosses.

I made a few more videos of the Max Rupees Glitch in action, mostly to demonstrate how some other characters can pull it off in a quick manner:

Cia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRkIqA1Gjkw
Impa Naginata: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-VkfGincQc
Ruto with Hasty Attacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FETviNGGoZ0

At this point I'm probably done making videos of the glitch unless something new and amazing is figured out with it. I don't have anything I can use the rupees on until the next DLC comes out in NA, anyway.

Also, Ganon Mode will be called Ganon's Fury, according to the 1.0.6 update, and Warrior Level Cap has increased to 255.

That's cool but it also seems like it will only be cool for like five minutes due to how limited the moveset appears to be.

How are you doing the break with Impa? Strong is throwing the thing at the beginning and end, and then is that just C2 over and over in between? I've been cycling through which characters I really like (loooved Fi right when my husband and I started playing, now she's kinda meh compared to the rest, for instance) and my Impa-Naginata phase as it were was when I just threw the thing and spammed weak attack til the cuccos came home. I'm much better now, pretty sure I routinely use all of Twili Midna's combos... just can't figure out how to break a giant boss weak point with her in one go unless I have specials saved up.

It's presumably one of the unlockables from Ganon mode. There's three different mission types with three unlockable difficulties each. Beat X enemies unlocks Cia's new costume. There's also beating tons of giant monsters and a survival mode, but I dunno which unlocks Ganondor's costume and which unlocks Cucco yet.

Joe Desperado posted:

It does, yeah. The drops didn't seem increased like in the Twilight and Termina maps, but one of Ganon's mission types involves beating a dozen giant monsters at a time, so there's that.

Are the new costumes recolors, and if so are they at least decent?

Fresh outta hecks.
God I have no idea how you're supposed to kill 9999 mobs with Ganon and get an A rank for Cia's costume when the whole map is filled with stalmasters and darknuts doing 4k damage blade throws.

Edit: Got it on the third try. Did the same thing I did on the second try but focused even less on actually fighting anything that wasn't a mook and spent the entire time just doing three normal attacks into his charge.

Yeah, it's Strong Attack, dodge forward into four reps of C2, dodge away into Strong Attack again. Impa Naginata and Volga can both pretty much chain YXYXYX repeatedly like that, which is why it looks like one continuous string.

Wow, I wasn't expecting much for this pack and I was STILL disappointed. It looks like the DLC is going out on a whimper, but I don't regret my bundle purchase because the three other packs are awesome.

The baton is just dreadful. In between it already being slow, the fact that it makes the game start lagging makes it feel even more of a drag.

Yes. Sometimes I had several successes an hour and sometimes I had no successes in multiple hours.
