My setup: I fuse good horns to weapons and use them. I don’t waste time teleporting around places every moon, because I find new weapons and horns faster than I use up my current ones. I do think there’s a legitimate complaint where a lot of the more varied and playful uses of fusion aren’t really worth it compared to the boring but practical +damage from horns. Yeah, I could make a spear-spear, or a shield-claymore, or a cannon-sword, or a bouncy-mushroom-sword, or a dozen other things… but once the novelty wears off it’s better to just stick a silver horn on for raw damage. But a lot of the stuff people do to get around durability is more tedious and restrictive than just using up your weapons without worrying about it.

Mixing armor is what I'm doing now. I do have the hylian set I just can't upgrade it yet.

Tokelau All Star posted:Consider mixing and matching armors. It's not that tough to pump up one piece each of the Hylian Set, Soldier Set, and Zonaite Set to level 3. Also, eat more mighty bananas meals and try tossing more puffshrooms/muddle buds at the bad guys to make the fighting a little easier until your inventory catches up.

Also helps to remember that Puffshrooms + sneakstrikes are almost cheating.

I feel like especially in late game the octoroks just make the durability system seem even more unnecessary/trivial and counteractive for experimenting. By late game, if you're mostly using silver horns, you're gonna have plenty of 50+ weapons and depending on what you're doing you'll be able to find comparable base weapons decently easily. So you kinda end up either tediously teleporting to Eldin to have the octoroks repair or you're letting the weapons break and fusing similar weapons to replace them shortly after. It just ends up making it so you have to managie if you're gonna have spears, 2-handers or swords at any given moment. Imo that definitely weakens experimenting. There are situations where one weapon type is better than others for dealing with enemies and I'd like to just know what weapons I'm going to have without worrying. Sorta unrelated, but if you've got some armor upgrades, a healthy number of hearts and 50+ weapons, the combat isn't super difficult. So it just feels like "what are we doing here". Combat definitely could use an overhaul/improvement if they're gonna make it more a focus like in BOTW and TOTK. It didn't really matter in the previous games as much because Zelda was a puzzle dungeon explorer.

I feel like one change that could really help combat with lesser monsters is having attacks do a lot of extra damage when the monster is knocked down. Does feel a little tedious when I can keep a monster from actually getting back up, but still have to keep just wailing away on it.

If you ever care about not using your good weapons on trash foes, you can destroy all Stal enemies by throwing a single dazzlefruit, shoot most chuchus dead with a single arrow, and kill any keese by throwing an apple at it. Also, hittin the bricks makes any problem no longer your problem

Snake Maze posted:My setup: okay yeah now this is a complaint I can get behind I love using the zonai cannon in fights but it does terrible damage Also does anyone understand why if you fuse a cannon to your shield it seems like you're aiming at the target then at the last second link points in a completely different direction?

HPanda posted:In particular, the Hylian Set is all purchased for cheap in the first quest hub area, so it’s a good candidate for upgrades. It also needs generic enough parts that you’ll get them as you need them pretty much (the amber req is a bit much, but those things are everywhere). Yeah this is my daily driver. It’s boring but very easy to upgrade so whatever. At some point I’d like to upgrade my barbarian armor but I kinda can’t be assed to farm a billion Lynels

My adjacent complaint is that they should have had had higher-tier versions of the zonai devices start spawning as the rest of the world scales up. One of the coolest bits of the game was at the very start, when I fused a cannon on to a spear and was temporarily a god of death against the mostly red and occasionally blue enemies in the camps at the time. I can do the same thing now, sure, but that massive explosion only takes off 1/20th of a silver bokoblin's health so it doesn't really have the same impact. Give me a mega-cannon that uses up five full batteries in a single shot for an explosion that can oneshot silver bokoblin, please.

Yunobo with a solemn vow kills a noticeable amount of trash enemies on his own. Not a ton, but like if three pebblits are after you, he might take down two of them while you're switching to a hammer weapon.

Combat gets a bit old because most of the time you're just fighting a goofy looking guy of some size or other with a generic weapon. Especially in/before temples. Maybe that's just nostalgia, but I feel like in the very old Zeldas, there were plenty of rooms where there's just a mildly interesting set of enemies to fight to open the door to the next room. That seems a lot rarer here and provocatively I'm gonna say it's because a) they know fighting zonai construct soldiers got old like an hour or two into the game and they don't have the enemy/environment interaction variety to keep it fresh, and b) they don't want to gently caress over people who broke all their weapons somehow. Sorry, everyone, I'm just being grumpy because I'm pretty much done with the game and am resentful of having to deal with irl problems now, so I'm distracting myself by coming up with fake bullshit problems.

Also the nonlinear nature means you can't have encounters based around the hookshot or a spinner. I don't wanna beat the durability horse but I think if the player was guaranteed to have at least a few (rechargeable) permanent weapons then the developers could design more 'complex' enemies and encounters around them. The armored enemies were kind of a step in that direction, you have different ways to kill them but having a sledge makes it easiest. And there's always been taluses.

Yeah it would be much better if the legendary weapons from the 4 regional quest lines would recharge like the master sword (and maybe did special movement stuff). Tokelau All Star posted:One big change I like from BOTW is that just holding a fire weapon near an ice chunk makes it start to melt, instead of having to swing-swing-wait with a flameblade. BOTW worked the same way, only time you ever had to swing your flameblade was to light a campfire.

You could do that in BotW. Not sure if the fire rods worked, but I know the flameblades caused ice to (slowly) melt just having them equipped.

Glooms are great for stuff like spear-spear but the durability of weapons when used as attachments is really bad. Still useful to have around tho.

Worked first time for me.
