What is "attack break"?

Just as I am talking about how much I love the kusarigama's high stance strong attack, I get a kusarigama that gives a bonus to high stance ki damage and strong attack break, lucky me

Wow, the Red Demon set off of Li is amazing. Is there a way to get the smithing text for it, or am I going to have to soul match this poo poo?

I get half!!
Can anyone explain that weapon attribute that levels up attack with successful enemies defeated? How exactly does that work? It is it consecutive kills? What interrupts it? Why does it have a grade (I've seen B on axes, and D on other weapons).

I think all of the bosses like that have a chance to drop each piece of the smithing text. You'll start running into enemies later that drop higher level versions of it though.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I've gotten into the habit of sheathing my weapon after a fight, and I want to answer this question that you might have had: there is no benefit or compensation for sheathing a living weapon. There is bonus to the wait time before the Amrita gauge starts filling or to how much the gauge will start at (always 0 for both). Don't waste it.

I actually found those pretty underwhelming. Just put up your guard and let them empty their tiny stamina-pools before you empty their tiny health-pools.

My first Twilight mission was quite something, though. Apart from anything else, you don't get kodama bonuses on them, so you're stuck with three elixirs every time you spawn and severely reduced opportunities to find more.

Yeah I fought a bunch of them in the third main mission and the human ones are OK, but since I did the sub-mission for the second level first where you have to fight one that's all Yokai-ed up while four other enemies are trying to kill you it kind of added to the difficulty

Depends on your guardian. I murder bosses with like six casts of it in a row and high magic. But again, it depends on your build and guardian.

UGH every time I fight a boss and get near to killing them I end up using Living Weapon thinking I can finish it quick, screw everything up because I don't know the timing of any of my moves, then I'm back to normal and dead in half a second

I feel like 90% of people's deaths against bosses in these kinds of games is "he's almost dead, no need to be cautious anym... gently caress!"

Okay I think I know what's annoying the gently caress out of me about this game compared to :darksouls:

The gently caress knocking stamina system. When you face bosses it's basically just loving you over that much more. One more handicap the ds system never had

Apparently I missed a few side missions in the first zone so I did those and level 20 Twilight missions at like level 80. Playing through low level stuff when you're strong as gently caress turns this into a Dynasty Warriors game and it's kinda fun!

The night of the boss fight, you might accidentally holster your weapon when you try to dodge. That's just Dark Souls loving with you. gently caress Dark Souls. Dark Souls only hurts, it never helps.

I don't think I can beat Yuki-Onna. Her charge-impale attack has drat near no tell and if you're not in i-frames when she does it you get hit. I just can't keep up with the sheer amount of perfect dodges this fight expects from me.

Mission 3 complete! I'm at 223 deaths in 16 h 9 m. The midboss was actually much more difficult for me than the boss. It's just like in Bloodborne, big beasts always gave me a harder time than the humanoid bosses

Be farther away from her and let her use it to come to you! Or be closer and she won't use it iirc. It's the only tricky thing to dodge in her arsenal. You can block the ranged crap and her melee stuff is pretty easy to dodge otherwise.

It is good. Notably different combat from the Souls games. Level design isn't as good, but the combat is awesome as hell and really satisfying.

In true Souls-ish tradition, the first attempt after I complained about her in the thread, I got her. I feel like that's the one constant: as soon as I out myself as a scrub, I win the fight.

I wish there was an option in the menu to turn on a health/stamina bar over your head like the one enemies have. It'd make Ki pulse timing so much easier. I get hit a lot because I'm looking at the top left so I can do a Ki pulse, because the sparks around William are just too vague for me.

I love it when an armor combo made out of a bunch of different stuff ends up looking good. This one is a combination of the Western Warlord set and the Frontline Armor set.
