Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Oh cool! Have you tried the deflecting hardtear? If so how did you like it? I've tried to use it a few times, without success :P, (haven't done elden ring with parrying until now, Shield has been ok But I think I might have been too slow for my hits to register as guard counter with the deflecting tear... Idk, this particular character is not really a parry build, i do have one but it's too early game for that)
I haven't played nightreign that much but Wylder and Executor are the ones I've played the most, both I really like! How about you? Who's your favorite?
I haven't played with the hard tear, I'll have to go try it out.
I'm like a hardcore Executor. I've played other characters remembrances but he's my favorite. I'm pretty good with him, as far as Executors go, I love playing different builds on him, but I think I will like the undertaker class.
I can't get past depth 2 though on Deep of Night so realistically I'm probably mid with him even though ive logged a ton of hours.
He's very fun, great moveset and the high arcane lends itself for cool build possibilities. a bit squishy but, can't have it all. I can't say I'm like good with him yet, but hopefully I'll get there . :P
Definitely squishy lol. I get a lot of value from the the everdark caligo relic which has phys damage negation, frost on weapon and atk + vs. frost: and the augur relic that increases HP. That usually is good survivability for exploring in a solo run, or maps that I'm still learning.
I tend to play like a status tank, face me and I'll take everything you got and dish a little out. Turn away and I'll start freeze bleed ya.
For a third relic, something with seppuku is really fun, I like to hit myself with seppuku 2x-3x, hit my ult, use his L2 special attack right away, then the boss is staggered and youre standing there with a blood blade. This makes stamina up really good with him too.
Mostly I try to stack damage negation passives on pick ups, and I love playing with guard counters too. The undead legion or holy burst with counters is a ridiculous passive ability, but anything that activates when walking is good too, you can just stand there with suncatcher out and getting passive chip damage while tanking enemy hits.
Suncatcher is super underrated as a playstyle, but takes some practice
Alright, you clearly know what you are doing so, don't mind me I'll be in my little corner furiously taking notes. X'D
