    The reason dodging feels weird is... because it is. The dodge while in Broccoli form has the I-Frames kick in and end slightly sooner than regular form, which leaves the end of the dodge technically having a higher recovery animation, while also taking a few frames longer to complete from beginning to end. Broccoli form is cool, but it seems like the devs didn't QUITE tune it properly.
    Also, the Ocsplosion L2 attacks, deals a set amount of damage based on the weapon level. the %damage increases don't actually increase the damage at all. However, flat damage up increases DO increase the damage. So if you want to make an L2 build you need flat damage gems, not %damage gems.

    I wonder if maybe the early bosses arcane resistance was a design choice for people playing in NG+. Since most arcane builds don't (normally) come together until the late game, it means that a person who wants to do an arcane run might be more inclined to go to NG+, so they give the early bosses some extra arcane resistance to make sure they didn't just get steam rolled.
    I could be completely off base here, just a thought that came to mind. Great video, Mr. Leeds.

      @raydhen8840 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +42

      It is deliberate yes. From devs tend to do Gameplay and Story Integration like that.
      Arcane stats is the equivalent of Intelligence in Bloodborne, as such, it does more damage against other being with affinity to arcane, like Kins & Great Ones. Therefore Beasts, being driven by instinct, naturally has big resistance against it.
      Beast-possessed Soul, Abhorrent Beast, Bloodletting Beast are the only ones with weak ARC resistance, but there's some sort of justification to it. The first one can do fire magic; Abhorrent can talk (and in general retain sapience); Bloodletting controlled by parasite with head that lliterally looks like brain lined with (bug) eyes, constant theme in the game.

    • @mkv2718
      @mkv2718 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      the best way to do an arcane build early is to get the fire gem at the bottom of the cathedral ward, and then go to the chalice dungeons, hope fore at least one good drop, and then get a radial fire from the big doggo. boom, you’ve got a good fire build going early on. can be used with any of the starting area weapons, but i like the saw spear since it also has the serrated bonus, and both that and fire are good for beasts, which you fight mostly early on. by the time you get to the nightmare frontier, you can then get some lightning gems for a backup weapon (put those on a church weapon for that bonus and you’ve now covered all your bases about halfway through, assuming you’re doing chalices, tho i save the latter half for ng+ anyhoo🤷‍♂️)
      but yeah. elemental arcane is probably my favorite build. got putting that sicker together on lock down😂

      "It's good in minmaxed pvp" is an elaborate way of saying "it's useless for 99% of the game".
      And if you spend the time to farm the right gems to make Kos parasite good, you're chokeslamming everything in the game because you're overlevelled anyways.

      Technically, you are correct. Nothing says you have to spend your souls on levels.
      However. It's also absolutely asinine to go out and grind for the purpose of getting stronger, but not level when you have the souls to, except being weird and arbitrary about this one weapon at the deliberate expense and exclusion of others... or minmaxing for PvP. So again. Useless for single player, because for it to matter in single player, you have to be playing in a way that means you've already beaten the game more or less and are doing weird challenge builds, in which case cool, you do you, but what's done in those isn't indicative of an average playthrough.

    The benefit of arcane scaling is that the soft cap doesn't hit nearly as hard when reaching 50 stat points (especially for hunter tools), unlike all the other stats which has a much harsher drop-off in damage from any stat investment beyond 50. This makes arcane builds very strong at very high levels. The flipside is that it's pretty bad at low levels, also because (most) arcane gems and (most) arcane tools can't be found until lategame.
    P.S. I just remembered that a common use for the kos parasite was to have a pure glass cannon arcane build with high/max arcane and strong arcane gems, then invade someone (or get invaded) and use the Messenger's Gift (transform into a message on the ground) at a chokepoint, and once the enemy player comes close, you use the L2 AoE attack to one-shot them.

    I'd say the Kos parasite is probably my favorite weapon just because how unique it is, but it isn't a great bosskiller. The move set is great for dealing with normal enemies as it has a lot of stagger, reach, hyper armor and doesn't bounce of walls. It is very good for dealing with some of the more human sized bosses in the chalice dungeons, like the Pthumerians and the watchers. Also good against NPC hunters.
    The thing about arcane builds in Bloodborne is that you want to use a varied toolkit more so than other builds, and the parasite is just one of those tools, not *the* tool. It isn't really a defense of the weapon itself, but just the reality of how the game is designed. You want to be able to switch elements depending on what you're fighting.
    A pure physical build will generally do OK against most things, while an arcane build can do great granted you're willing to switch up what element you're using.

    See, I absolutely love this weapon, but I used it pretty much exclusively on basic enemies. Bosses got to eat hunter tools, because the scaling on those is ridiculous. It doesn’t help that arcane builds are VERY feast-or-famine depending on damage type, enemies can be either super weak or completely immune to them. I had a lot of fun feeling out specific weaknesses for each boss, but then I’m one of those weirdos who finds no real fun in unga-bungaing their enemies with large sticks.
    Honestly, my favorite thing to do with the Kos parasite was equip it WITHOUT becoming an angry tree. Sure, the damage is worse and the move set is basic, but I don’t really *need* a super powerful weapon if my primary “boss killing” strategy involves the “suddenly tentacle” and the “spooky scary skulls.” The aesthetic of the empty-handed sorcerer is worth it I feel.

  • @765craven4

    Having done a pure Arcane playthrough a few times I can confidently say that they're not really given the Blood Gems to succeed outside of Chalice Dungeons. By that I mean Physical weapons are generally given a streadily increasing quality of Gem throughout the game, with low quality ones early and high quality late. Arcane damage types get a few throughout the game and that's it, with a few farmable ones here and there, but with no Radials available to farm and just the one Droplet you're pretty strapped for options.
    Within the main game your best bet for gems applicable to the Kos Parasite would be the Arcane Droplet, the Odd Radial one in Fishing Hamlet and a Nourishing Gem from a Gargoyle in Cainhurst. Options are that limited. I wouldn't say that Arcane weapons are inherently more reliant on Blood Gems than Physical weapons, and more that your options are just so much more limited without utilizing Chalice Dungeons.
    Edt: Theoretically you could farm the Celestial Emissary enemies in Forbidden Woods for some alright Triangles and hope for Out of Shape drops but that's so astronomically rare you couldn't rely on them.

    edit: you really do need to go into the chalice dungeons for this weapon to work. also, once you have the weapon the messenger baths there sell the other versions, which means you can get a Triangle Gem Parasite if you don’t want to spend too much time farming.
    there’s a reason this is supposed to be a ng+ weapon. arcane scaling gems seem to be the best.
    edit 2: you would have been better off with the “uncanny” version of the weapon. the gem slots go Radial > Triangle > Radial, instead of shoving that crescent one at the end.

    12:30 The Milkweed and Beast's Embrace runes change your dodges. Milkweed gives you more lag after the dodge, making them slower, but gives you some hyper armor during them. Breast's Embrace makes your dodges even more laggy but gives them way more distance, but they don't have hyper armor.
    A normal quickstep to the side is 20 frames long, giving you 11 frames of invincibility and 9 frames of vulnerability (lag). Milkweed side quickstep is 23 frames long, gives you 11 frames of invincibility, 12 frames of vulnerability, and 13 frames of hyper armor during that vulnerability (lasting 1 frame after the lag for some reason). Beast's Embrace side quickstep is 24 frames long, gives you 11 frames of invincibility, and 13 frames of vulnerability.
    I'd also like to add that the Milkweed roll is terrible, having 29 total frames with the same 11 s making it roughly comparable to a DS3 fatroll.

We did the moon pose for a solid two minutes and then we both decided to start our 1vs1, I had no prior knowledge of the broccoli's existence so I had to take it as a mini boss fight, making some space between it and myself to have time to learn his attacks and such, it was one of the most memorable moments of my first playthrough. That player even left me with a single hit left and started posing again so I could health and start over, very cool fella lol.

    The reason quickstepping probably feels so off in Lumenwood form is because normally, your character stays upright and leans a little in the direction you dodge, making your hitbox stay relatively thin. As a Lumenwood, your upper torso drags behind you, making your hitbox about twice as wide and therefore requiring tighter dodge timing to successfully i-frame through attacks.

And it also takes up a rune slot, damning it further in my mind. But hey props to the people who get good results with it. Anyway fun video, hope your holidays are going well!

    It's kinda bizarre what enemies are and aren't resistant to Arcane in Bloodborne, like, it feels almost random sometimes.
    The only consistency is that the big "beast" bosses are pretty resistant to it, like Vicar Amelia and the Bloodstarved Beast, but even then, Laurence is more resistant to it in his hunter phase than in his "beast" phase.
    The "Kin" bosses are usually pretty weak to it, bizarrely enough, and even great ones themselves like Amygdala and Moon Presence are very weak to it... except then the Orphan is highly resistant to it??
    It's already confusing why the great ones and those tied to them would be weak to it given the obvious ties Arcane would have to their power, then the inconsistency just exacerbates that.

    Pretty sure the gargoyles in Cainhurst give cursed nourishing gems. If you go there early you can boost the damage a lot.
    Having said that, it isn't surprising gems are hard to find as it is the weapon from the final and most challenging boss. Plus, arcane is the most unique and experienced playstyle. It's meant to compliment using tools as well.
    Without dungeons it can work, but it's probably assuming you've done some dungeons. Arcane runs get so much better with dungeon gems so anyone who ends up using this has probably already been diving quite a lot.
