the skill is hindsight sweep, you roll then followup with a counterattack. there are no mods here

pawns also get grabbed a lot which buffs him and makes him way harder

@@Avohkii_ ah that grab buffs him? Really good to know thanks

He is clearly at a very low carry weight. You can also eat food at campsite to boost recovery speeds, however I do not see that buff above his health. There are also a few different ways to bolster your stamina pool. Lastly enemy behavior is purely based on rng while we all may fight the same enemies, however, no 2 people are going to experience the exact same fight. Your question seemed to be geared more at pressing the poster on something you find suspicious instead of trying to learn. Get Gud.

@@Beelzebubbly_ My weight is always light weight and I always eat food that boost stats & recovery speed via camping before hunting drake. I dare say keeping stamina above 50% most of the time when soloing drake is quite hard for a fighter. I assume he is at very light weight & not using endgame weapon. Let me know when you can get as good as him in your management of stamina when soloing a drake as a fighter and you killed it solo. I think many here also want to know his secret.

@@Toh2486If you still find yourself questioning his weapons, he is using the shield of vernworth and the threaded cudgel neither of which I would consider to be endgame.

I was average weight, if you’re above that your movement and stamina regen get slowed. I don’t think I had anything else affecting my stamina regen. In general just don’t spam skills and your stamina should be fine. Also the drake used his roar a ton, but he only uses it in his last phase, (3 to 2 health bars left I think). Which took up a majority of the video lol.

I reckon they should have a button that just switches between two sets of four skills. There’s a mod kinda like that and it doesn’t break the game at all, just adds crazy good variety to combat gameplay. Especially for sorcerer who is restricted to a pathetic 4 spells now.

...except warrior 👀

These guys are all over the place in Post-Game. Same thing for any else undead like all Lich variants, all ghost variants and Undead Lords. If the Dullahans had a pawn badge, first step into post game and you'd probably complete it in a single sitting 😂

They seem to be on most bridges in the unmoored world.

​@@wondertownfunk6858I was so annoyed lmao such an annoyingly long fight without magic

In my 1st playthrough, I only fought 3 of those and 1 of those is the quest.

Just wander around in post game and you’ll find plenty.

Correct it is 🙂

Might be weapon dependent, animations change between maces and swords.

This game's combat is incredibly deep. I already knew you could use animations with archer to change up the attacks but now I've started looking into numbers tactics (basically all the planning outside of combat) For my warfarer I've gone defense quality spearhand, physical explosive archer, and magick healer Mystick archer. It's awesome. My magick bow heals me when I sit still, and I heal/revive my pawns with it. So my pawns can go all in on thief physical, Sorcerer magick, and warrior knockback. While I'm the wildcard and can play effectively any role needed. Dullahans are the most engaging and fun fight because they're the only threatening enemy that can pierce the spearhand's bubbles (with their scream attack)

@@glowerworm dullahans for sure are the most intresting enemy to fight, i wish there was more of them and/or more enemies that make you feel like you are dueling someone very strong and skillfull, and also terrifying (i like dullahan "parry stance" when they kind of deflecting your attacks, super dope)

agree. i find just deluging shot + frosted edges are strong enough to get you through any content in the game, but honestly the fun is not in just winning but winning in style (like this). definitely agree bow + daggers are a stylish method.

I also though the moves were simple watching this vid... reason we don't see that in game is because we have 3 other pawns wailing at the enemy, I casting meteorites from fucking space and another smiting it with lightning every 2 seconds. Can't see a damn thing 😅

From what I've seen, vengeful slash is *really* pretty strong. Hindsight sweep remains really good at staggering, but I don't know if it's *actually* ahead, damage-wise. I know some folks actually ran both, even though it seems counter-intuitive to run that many counters... but after trying it, I kinda get it. They fill slightly different niches.

They ruined hindsight slash imo. Was a cool backstep into a clean counter and now it’s an awkward roll for some reason?

@@voltaicburst4279 I liked the original a lot, even used it as reference for part of a skyrim moveset I made at one point, but I’m definitely a fan of the new one. Think I personally prefer it. The perfect block animation for larger atks is also super nice

Builds up stagger on large enemies, making them easier to knock down. Small enemies generally get put in the riposte state immediately when perfect parried.

@@Avohkii_ are you sure it builds up stagger on large enemies?

@@BrokeNSings I'm pretty sure. If I wasn't parrying the Dullahan here he would've been much harder to stagger repeatedly like that.

@@Avohkii_ ye you go several down states while I generally get only 1 with a full party

@@Avohkii_ thank you, the game is clear about its effects on small enemies, but not on large ones.

Dd2 solo play is a whole new beast

DD’s combat is far better than dodge and roll then one hit then dodge and roll. It’s just that DD2 is too easy after a certain level so there’s no reason to push it to its limits.

@tristanward9937 DD2 mob fights are quite cinematic. Tanking hits as a warrior during a charge to knock back multiple enemies in one swing, countering attacks as fighter and holding ground like a 300 soldier, flipping off one enemy and shooting another midair as am archer, taking off a group with homing missiles as mystick archer, countering with a slice to the neck as thief, smoke bombing and assasinating enemies veiled by the smoke as thief, pulling an enemy in with implicate and doing a finisher as thief. These things DD2 does better than Elden Ring and Monster Hunter imo

DD2 never feels like Dark Souls. Combat in DD is miles ahead of any souls like...

The problem with dd2 combat is not the players toolkit, is the monsters ai. They are so passive and dumb, you need to handicap yourself to feel a challenge. Bosses in dark souls are actively trying to murder you, in dd2 they are at best target dummies. And you have op inmunity tools and insane parry mechanics on top that.

Dev gave you 2 path, easy mode or hard mode. Your choice.

You don’t even need that, even if you take fatal damage just open the item menu. That barrier is a wasted skill slot and I never needed it. Game really needs a hard mode bad.

@@_graiderz2462 this

@@_graiderz2462 yeah you’re not wrong. I use different abilities and vocations every so often so I don’t get bored of the game. I like melee fighters way more. Archers and mages are boring to me.

The game is more about choosing the coolest play-style. So it’s your choice to be invincible when you want but you can also just not use it and give yourself a challenge if you want. ( once they put in a hard mode lol )

He was perfect blocking

@@ToastyDuns gotcha thx!

@@ToastyDunsis it one of fighter skill? Or just core skill?

@@fadhilpaten fighters

​@@fadhilpatenperfect block is core skill for fighter. You need a shield to do it.

Thanks! 🙂

A pure fighter would have done it quicker because of Riotous Fury.

When you go new game plus, you can dragon forge abilities and vocations themselves one at a time for each, i dragon forged warfarer and the wild furie for mystic spearhand which makes it drain half as much stamina, the highest dps ive seen for a single vocation yes even more than helm splitter
