Specials do a lot of damage (and freeze the timer for their duration) so don't forget to use those.

a cartoon duck posted:hitting the shrine with ZR gives you two symbols, meaning it's always a net positive and a quick way to max out symbols as long as you have one to start with It took me a while to figure out what this character's ZR is good for, and this was the first thing I found. However, it also seems pretty nuts with his C6, as you can go gigantic right after mashing to summon the 6 spike balls, and he crushes all of them, immediately getting all his giant symbols back and likely doing a huge chunk of damage and/or weak point gauge damage. Edit: Okay yeah, that was the piece I was missing. His ZR interacts with his C2, C3, and C6 balls in fun ways. Shadow Ninja 64 fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Nov 24, 2020 |

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Battles where you have to fight Kohga with a time limit are horse poo poo, it's so difficult to get his weak point gauge to appear You get one heart every 5 levels, which I think is how HW1 handled it and I think you do get a little base attack increase because you will absolutely crush earlier stages with a high level character, low attack weapon or no. And most characters will cause a very short weakpoint expose with their C5 or C6 combo, which for some characters will be just long enough for you to stasis the mob and extend the expose.

I'm still pretty early on but after unlocking the 4 champions the only characters I'm not really liking are Impa whose symbol thing is too finicky for me and sword'n'board Link who is just kinda boring. Zelda needs to get some more combos already though.

Also as someone earlier in the thread said, Impa is a whole lot more overkill when you realize you can tag three enemies in a row and then use.....I think XXXY or XXXXY and she absorbs all three symbols at once.

Zelda needs to get some more combos already though. The symbol thing is less complicated than it's presented-- you just ZR 3 trash mobs, C3 or C4 them, and then - Run around hitting things with all your shadow copies, and - Use your special attack to make a stack of bombs instead of just one that's literally all there is to it.

It can get harder when you're 1v1, like against a hinox or a talos, but I've found that using Impa's ZR while airborne is a safe (if time consuming) way to safely get symbols. Might be riskier than I think though, need to experiment more.

Yeah that's what I'm realizing, some characters are gods against hordes of bokoblins but absolutely can't scratch captains or bosses. Link with a spear is the best of both worlds tho

Mipha is my highest character at 67 currently, being able to teleport to whirlpools and have wide sweeping attacks make her great for crowd clearing and hitting multiple large enemies at once, her bomb rune is also excellent at locking down Taluses of all flavours as the bomb rain pretty much always blows their arms off which forces a down on them.

i did some soul-searching, and realised one of the big reasons this game feels more fun and active than the first hyrule warriors is that enemy officers don't block. just the fact you can whack bosses when nothing else is going on instead of having a block-off until your enemy makes the mistake of not blocking makes a huge difference speaking of blocking, i also noticed big/heavy characters have a different block than normal and smaller characters. where most characters get guard-crushed by strong hits and combo enders, heavies can block those no problem and still have plenty of time to exploit follow-up weak points. additionally, light attacks seem to have a "grace period" where if you press block, your last attack animation still plays but the game considers you in a blocking state and will just go into the block animation once an attack connects. conversely, dodges seem to have invincible frames at the start, but then end on vulnerable frames where blocking is disabled, making dodges slightly risky on smaller characters and actively hazardous on heavy characters. in short, just knowing that i can block everything but should avoid dodging made the Great Fairies considerably more usable.

I'm trying to naturally keep everyone's level balanced by pulling out my lowest leveled characters for missions and I dread this character every time. I also think my leveling strategy is starting to become a little unsustainable but I like forcing myself to give characters a fair shot.

This game honestly actively discourages* manually keeping characters balanced-- if you want to play other characters it seems to really be better if you pay to level them up to your current max before taking them in, otherwise you're nearly inevitably going to be forced to replay old levels/challenges to grind your underlevelled characters up to the level recommendation going forward. *My eggbot was "recommending" the training camp for me more often than not on the world map from about mission 8 onwards

One amusing thing I noticed is Link has pretty heavy super armor in the longest 2h sword heavy combo, so you can just facetank all the hits while you mash like a monkey then heal up afterwards with charge attack or neutral x.

I unlocked the ability to see how many Koroks are in a level, I went back to Battle for Hyrule Field and ran around for half an hour and still am missing one, ugh. I'm also still way short of Bokoblin parts to unlock Skull Lake because I was an idiot and sold a bunch for rupees for weapon fusion two chapters back.

I like to use the level 12 Zelda's Training map to kill Bokoblins quick, provided you have all her bonus combo unlocks and a weapon with good farming skills on it for her.

All of those corridor enemies designed to just knock you on your arse to stop you from running about is really loving annoying. Dealing with them is like having to close a spammy popup. It's not fun, especially when I'm some 20 levels higher than the mission requirement.

I've played far too much of the original Hyrule warriors and just dodge spamming to animation cancel to remember a block button. Then there's also flurry rush to incentivize not blocking.

Yeah, I haven't been blocking much in AoC. Dodging is so much more fun and stylish. Haven't made it very far yet, just have Mipha and Daruk unlocked, but I'm really enjoying everything so far. Might be smart to start looking up korok seed locations before I get too far, but I guess replaying levels with overpowered gear later on should make things easier, so whatever.

When do you get the ability to see how many Korok seeds are in a mission? I found one in a side quest and was very surprised, I had assumed that they’d only be in story missions but I guess those wacky Korok are just everywhere!
