Spoiler warning here, but I found a Google doc linked on Reddit where they listed out the level 25 and 30 hidden weapon seals for all the weapons. Something I did not realize is that these differ between the tier 1, 2, and 3 weapons for characters, and Link obviously has dozens of combination. There are also other weapons that get the Korok Detector skill, so that's cool: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ci8hBndMf9jIRC_sYzZaKWhWt9UVw9Ee8PyhlbQ-eHA/edit#gid=129604727

It's a really rad way of doing weapons rather than just "Higher Tier = More Better"

I want super hard dlc because most of my weapons were level 17 or something and I was able to beat everything in the game with just whatever. I never had to touch de-rusting things (few times I did was just some lame trash) and never had to raise the level cap because I just rarely got to that point.

Careful what you ask for as the level cap in HW 1 ended up at 255.

I’ve only gotten insanely good weapons from removing rust lol the price is steep though. Also the price of removing weapon seals is insane. I did it once so far and it hurt. It was physically painful. The rupees you have to pay on top of the bajillion items you have to sacrifice to the god of weapon seals is just adding insult to injury.

I love the animation when Terrako warps from a tower to go do a mission. I still have one character left to get but I genuinely enjoy playing most of them. There's certainly some that aren't my first picks, but the only one I actively dislike is Great Fairies.

Ugh, I really don't like Sidon's timed hits mechanic. It just feels clunky for me and I can't get into the groove with him at all. He also has a lot of weird ending lag on his attacks. Probably my least favorite character to play as overall. Weirdly though I really like Riju despite normally hating the high movement characters in Musous. She's got a lot of good single target strings and her AoE is absolutely nuts if you can get a handle on how she controls. Also she can parry which is hilarious Zore fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Nov 30, 2020 |

I was having a lot of trouble keeping up with with the timing and found that just mashing it after I did my strong move works reliably enough.

Probably my least favorite character to play as overall. for the first character you can just mash ZR after strong attacks and call it a day, the game doesn't actually care about the timing that much and won't like cancel strong attacks because you pressed ZR too early for the latter, i found them pretty underrated, probably because of the high movement stigma of other Warriors games. obviously her aoe is great, but her c3 and c5 are appreciable single target combos, even if they don't outright delete weak point gauges like some other characters.

While it's neat that every character has relatively unique runes, it becomes irritating when some of them don't work like how you want. Like when a Wizzrobe flies into the air, Link can't hit it with bombs because he can't aim up, and Urbosa's bomb rune has a long windup that causes her to hit after the enemy's lost the weak point. About half the cast seems to use cyronis at a distance rather than right in front of them which means 70% of the time it's triggering behind the enemy which isn't helpful.

This is why Mipha is the best. Her cryonis works good and her bombs do a bunch of weak point damage. I haven't really been using Impa much and I just discovered like 10 minutes ago that she can ride the block of ice like a badass.

I'm pretty sure I've smashed a Wizzrobe with the bombs before, even though it really looked like I shouldn't have. Similarly, frequently you can stop a charge with Cryonis even if the specific form of that Cryonis looks like it shouldn't work.

So far Revali has the best cryonis I've seen, he does it immediately in front of him and it falls from the sky in four blocks side by side so it's really good at hitting things. This does make it not great for Moldugas though but you fight those a lot less than you fight Lynels.

There's definitely clear winners but it'd make for some interesting combinations. Maybe they could frame some missions around using specific combos of runes or something.

Rand Brittain posted:I'm pretty sure I've smashed a Wizzrobe with the bombs before, even though it really looked like I shouldn't have. Some runes seem to be more forgiving than others-- I've noticed that Impa will frequently use bombs in a random different direction (probably the direction she's facing instead of the target you're locked into) but it'll still trigger the bomb weak spot on the enemy you're locked on to. I'm not sure if that's something they hardcoded because people were running into issues with it, or the AOE on the bomb is just That Big when you're at 3 runes on her. Cyronis is hands down the most irritating, Stasis also feels like it's frequently hit or miss-- although again, in hindsight, that's probably a "Because I'm making the mistake of assuming that me being locked into a large target will make me actually face that enemy when I'm throwing down runes" like it does in this game's namesake.

You have to be facing the enemy to hit them, but if you hold R it slows down time and if you press the control stick in the direction of the enemy before using the rune they will turn in that direction when they use it.

That's one of my biggest complaints, the original HW refilled your bottles between battles, but this one doesn't and you can't just buy apples or something between missions to refill your apple meter. Not that I'd have many rupees to buy apples with anyway, I don't know when I'll ever be able to get to that 5000 rupee mission because I'm just stuck hovering around 3k.

That mission gives you 9k when you complete it so you might want to sell some stuff. So I've seen some people compare Zelda's second weapon to Fierce Diety Young Link from OG Hyrule Warriors or Tiki from Fire Emblem Warriors. That isn't really a good comparison and trying to play her like that is going to be frustrating. Basically her ZR lets you go into a sort of turret-super mode but you should use it fairly sparingly, like when you dodge out of a Lynel AOE fire burst you can set up to punish it but you shouldn't be going into it when the Lynel is running around. Its designed for you to weave in and out of it when the enemy is incapacitated to do massive damage, most of the time you should be in the (fairly good) normal mode.

My advice to people struggling for cash is to open as many stables as you can and to check them after every battle. All but one or two of the merchants that show up there have a preferred good that's marked with a gold star in the category list when you sell. One merchant wants monster parts and pays 50 rupees for bokoblin guts, which you should have dozens if not hundreds of. Completely agree about the apples though, I get that Koei really wants you to do small challenge maps to get those back, but that doesn't always work out.

Cryonis felt like the least flexible of the runes in BOTW so it's only fitting that it's the odd one out here. It felt like the closest to old Zelda items that are really only meant to use on specific places for specific purposes.

Eh, it gets more utility than people give it credit for since it freezes enemies who are in water and serves as a really easy aerial launch for about a third of the cast. I find it much more generally useful than Magnesis on just about every character personally.

Selling Bokoblin parts is the best way I've found to get lots of rupees. Even just doing Egg Pudding and Egg Tart with no other seals on an average story mission will net me about 100-200 fangs and horns, plus 50-100 guts, which is probably about 10,000 to 20,000 rupees if you sell to the travelling Rito merchant. There's also a good side mission called Chief-of-the-Dunes Battle that's quick to play and has about 1100 bokoblins to kill and can be done with anyone. Great place for collecting parts and trying out characters.

Chief-of-the-dunes is the best place to farm Bokoblins for sure. I was lamenting running out of Bokoblin trophies and then I did that mission twice and was all set.

I really enjoy this game. The cast is killer, the soundtrack is amazing, the story is light years ahead of the OG, and a lot of gameplay quirks I found very annoying in the original have been ironed out. My one complaint (and my one wish for the DLC) is that... well, there's not really a whole lot of missions that engage in traditional, bread and butter Warriors gameplay, at least as I understand it from HW:DE. That game was, fundamentally, about seizing and maintaining map control. You take enemy outposts while enemy tries to take yours. Sometimes you lose outposts and have to decide whether to continue the mission or take them back. Sometimes you need to decide which outposts to take first in order to more effectively slow the enemy down. It was basic, but fun. There just isn't a lot of that here. I don't think I lost a single outpost that wasn't a pre programmed event. The only times I really needed to defend a base were in missions where not doing so would trigger mission failure, and even then, the game was ridiculously forgiving; I let the Moblins rampage in my bases for minutes at a time while I fought Hinoxes during Hold the Line and came back to find the outpost health meters had barely decreased. My favorite missions in the post game are the ones that actually force me to both defend a position and capture new territory, like the OG Hyrule Warriors. So when the inevitable DLC comes out, I hope they include something like Adventure Mode - just a big old assortment of battles it's you vs the enemy army in a fight to maintain territory.

Yeah it's kind of bizarre that there's no 'enemy is advancing to capture your base' mechanics. I don't really remember it being too much of a problem in HW1 but it's just not here. I felt like most of the enemies were just static standing around in the same spots while the only ones moving were the tougher enemies like guardians. I think because of it I went through without ko'ing all that many enemies because they weren't exactly doing anything or trying to move from where they were rooted so just 'eh'
