the workout thread title is super appropriate since it seems like ill play for a bit, kill a boss, then start sucking until I take a rest day then suddenly start making progress again.

I meant the dragon that does the cutscene kill. And yeah you fight it later but I'm thinking you should kill it and then another even bigger badass shows up or something

i did a guy who was mostly just a combat dude that has some pyro mixed in, but a pure pyro caster w/ very limited melee would be an interesting build. due to the way pyro scales, you'd also get to try out basically every spell too...

I kinda liked that the game didn't have poise but I understand people like to play like slow lame tanks for some reason so "let them eat cake" as Marie Antoinette famously said

i wish more weapons had hyperarmor attacks or at least that weapon arts didnt cost FP, since that's the only hyperarmor attack that light and medium weapons have, and the hyperarmor disappears once your focus meter's empty.

So what did Poise turn out to be actually doing, was it the hyperarmor frames or was there something else to it?

it works in tandem with hyperarmor frames on certain attacks. your poise number gets multiplied by a hyperarmor value (say, 1.5x for a glaive 2h attack) to give you a number that is how much damage you can take before being staggered during that attack.

there's quirks like your poise armor takes like 30 seconds to refill on its own, but will roll over and refill as soon as youre staggered, and some weapons also seem to do more damage to other players poise than others, etc

this has all of the info for the specific timings:

this should be how boss rush works - if u kill the tutorial boss u have to fight the next boss in line, and so on until u have beaten every boss

Ironically I think musou games don't feel powerful at all. You beat up hundreds and thousands of dudes with a single punch but you might as well just throws a feather duster around. In Dark Souls 2H weapons feel powerful and good because they do huge damage with a heavy looking swing.

*mashes square while berserker sword hits an enemy and drops their health by 1% and tosses them around*

No thank you

*takes a loving week of pumping iron to throw a single punch that kills the entire universe in one hit*
