Stone monkey is the coolest for me, literally your Kaiju/Titan form, very tanky, with all your abilities too. 2nd is Yin Tiger, he's just so damn cool with the block, focus build up and nuke, the way he handle that greatsword feel so powerful and satisfying. Bonus the roars too, literally my top 3 NPC/Boss 3rd is Yellow Loong, with the highest skill ceiling to use for sure, but it's so damn powerful and satisfying when you pulled it off The 4th probably 'that another monkey' - it has really solid dps and easy to use, plus chill and frozen enemies. Only that a scrawny, crazy monkey doesn't look as cool as other transformations
Way to go Bad! Yeah, Kaiju, Titan is the way to describe it. Spoiler aside XD. Yellow Loong is prolly my fav now. Right about Umbral, I just hope he he just cooler than Loong but Loong is badass XD
Azure dome is best to use with final boss as you can also take advantage of life strand to extend your life and the transformation. On top of that, you can take remigration pill after the first revive of your transformation in order to get 2 more use before tapping into your own. Fighting those bosses with insane health bars on NG++ and beyond, having extended lives with life strand spell and pill combined.
Thanks for the tip TOT! but I think this will apply to many. In my Soulslike or ARPG journey, I didn't focus much on defense side of things of extra lives. I reached NG++++ just fine as well in this game but I get ya. That's lots of opportunities that can help a lot of people!
@@JRPGSamurai I agree with you. For my play through chapter 1-5, I only use pluck of many bc I have the 6th relic feature unlocked for one mind. This will carry you through any normal chapters. Only 2 bosses that I would use life strand spell to be able to survive longer. Sometimes, you got so close to beat the boss but you are also on your last pinch of health. Having the life strand will ensure that you have another shot to finish that fight.😀
@@TOTKBOTW Agree, yeah, the unified minds is one of a monster skill to use. This is the strongest move imo. I use this as well. But people are telling me that Azure Dome should be the one that caught my attention, in fact I played with it to do this showcase. But its not broken or anything.
Found yours and another channel just from this game. You and the other smaller channel I found have absolutely some of the best guides out there. Very well put together video.
Do you guys know that each transformation you do in front of Erlang will make him say different funy lines? For example, if you transform into the stone head, Erlang will stop hitting and just stand by watching and make fun of you. In Chinese version, he says: Wukong born from a stone, maybe you should try if you can jump out from this stone too? If you transform into Yinhu, he will tease you and say: maybe I should let you forge a new weapon for me .😂
@@JRPGSamurai Maybe you can make a short video to show all the different conversations that Erlang does when you perform different transforms:D I saw it in the Chinese dub, but no such videos in the English dub.
Thanks for another awesome showcase! Crazy how the very first spirit and transformation you get in the game are some of the best overall. Umbral Abyss and Dark Thunder look awesome and really satisfying to use. I'm not really in love with Golden Lining due to what looks like kind of a low DPS with light attack and varied combos, it's also weird that you can't see the focus bar build, you just see the focus dots appearing. But the Death Trilogy attack looks amazing and appears to secure Golden Lining as a lot of people's favorite transformation. Great video - looking forward to what you come out with next!
Golden Lining is my favorite Transformation because of its burst DPS and Theme Song. With Golden Lining you’re not supposed to focus on Light Attack to deal damage, and it also does not build focus in the traditional sense. You have to “see through” the enemy while performing Varied Combos. Death Trilogy is an absolute monster when combined with Thunder Bane.
Man Golden Lining is prolly the best in terms of DPS, IIRC, thats 2500 ish for the first hit of Trilogy, 3k on the second and 5k on the last, it is also so satifyingly to use, imo they are all good, Azure Dust falls off imo.
I didn’t even know he can do that either. I just used him to chip off broken shell sage phase two health. Plus the remigration pill works for him only as it gets nullified by other transformation forms. I was wonder why the pill doesn’t work sometimes lol. I learned things as I played.
@@kahfipesek6208 hello kahfi, in my honest opinion and as mentioned in the vid, all of them has its own usage depending on the build. I see them all equally. However if you will ask me which is the most fun to play id say umbral abyss and yellow loong. Umbral Abyss for general builds while Yellow loong and Dark Thunder for lightning builds. While I have noticed that Dark Thunder can be the highest damaging tranformation since it has this Damage over time that you cast before de trasforming. and it will stay. You can even do combos while the damage over time is active. insane really. On the other hand. Yellow Loong's max skill DPS is over roof. Its last hit can deal 5k flat damage not counting the first two hit.
It is empowered by fire and ice, so if you want fire attacks you have to use ring of fire to absorb it, or take fire damage while transformed from a different source.
Its ok, it was not explained in the game. If you got hit with fire element, you will be able to absorb it. Same with ice and as blackhat mentioned, just slot in Ring of Fire to be able to cast Scorch Shower.
@@blackwidow7804 ok. I’ve just beaten the game Ng+++ or 4th cycle using azure dome trick with remigration pill. For the final boss last 2 phases, if you can beat him down on the first phase with 4 focus points attacks, great, if not, use the plaintain fan to help put some damage on top of wonder wight. If you want, you can call azure dome in also, he will be revived if you have life saving strand spell. Once he went through revival, you can pop the remigration pill. I swear, I get to used my life strand 4-6 times and was able to beat him with this life extended trick. The key is azure dome in between you fighting him, every time he transforms, he gets revived once more. 😂
Thanks for Sharing shan, Yin Tiger is prolly the second coolest looking among them. Its satisfying move sets are the ways. Not to mention they are a lot! I so love cats so I enjoyed this one.
You have to use heavy attack to counter (resolute) to earn focus point. It's better to spam light - light - heavy just like the destined one you have to time it. But it's very OP when you use heavy alone with all 3 focus points. 1-2 focus point heavy attacks are pretty hard hitters with thunder.
Great video and the effort that has been put into this is clear but i would suggest you turn down the music as it gets repetitive no hate meant at all. Thank you kind sir for the great content much love
These are max upgraded transformations. And I put a lowerthird in the video saying I had 167 raw attack to test all of them to gain consistent results.
Git gud. I use Yellow Long to wither away half of almost every minor boss Health Bar and 1/3 of Big boss Health Bar. His Heavy attack with full 3 focus points is a nightmare.
I don't use it and I have my reasons. Its strong for sure, I prefer more damage than simply taking Azure Dome as a cookie cutter for every build. Again this is a showcase and not a proper super top recommendations as I will be those later.
@@nxvh9062 Agree. I mean not to be detrimental about their take, I just don't understand why they are putting it on the pedestal. Sure it does have its unique quirks but its a be all and all transformation for all builds. Yellow Loong is by far better than this but again, i stated that it depends on the build.
@JRPGSamurai Azure dome is the only transformation that can kill 80% of bosses by itself, that's why I have it and believe it needs to be one. Yellow can not. You can get 3 to 6 full focus attacks off if you are lucky (fully upgraded everything) and given the health and might difference with yellow you need to dodge a lot more if you can't start your light combo because that's required to get your focus. Azure dome with the right spell and equipment set up will kill almost everything in the game for you. (Given it's ng plus nature you become op pretty quick, and dome seems to take more of your equipment into damage calcs than any other transformation)
@nxvh9062 Azure dome is the only transformation when I did my transformation only play through that could kill most bosses in one transformation. Yellow couldn't. It could kill about 40%. The spells (life saving strand if you let yourself die with the right amount of focus and equipment, you come back full health and might) and it varity and abilityin combat makes it a clear number one for overall transformations. (It's really my 3 favorite to play, but I gotta give it the one spot for every category)
@@JRPGSamurai my bad bro!! i thought the first one in the thumbnail was the wind rat next to the yellow loong, but that is red tides, fire video i just was confused
@@XxSacredFatalisxX Yeah I mean if my voice sounding bad for this guy, I just how the way it is. Oh yeah its true. I've been watching voice videos lately and they mentioned this as well. It sounds differently when other people hear it.

Its easy to see through in this game prison. You will be filling that focus bar in no time with practice.
Agree, people are telling me that why Azure Dome is not there. its just that I don't need the second lives and such. Its not even a proper list.
Yelow long is my fav
Damn sick right? He is one the best imo. The data shows it.
@@JRPGSamurai yeah,, the best part is you can play agresif and defensif at the same tim,
@@sebutsajadia5803 those parries are so satisfying man. That is why he is one of my favs. And his dps can backed it up.
Great showcase video! ❤
Just a quick info: check the title at 5:10 hahaha (don't worry, it happens) 😅
Oh my god, thanks for pointing this out pires, I already changed this but I guess I was not able to save it! Noted man. Glad you like it still!

This game has a lot of secrets that it does not tell us lol!
Greatly appreciate the effort 🙏

You are welcome and sure, wait for the actual top recommendations.
Maybe i am dumb but what affects Azure Dome light attack spell element? You show Ice and Lighning but whenever i activate it its always Ice.
It is empowered by fire and ice, so if you want fire attacks you have to use ring of fire to absorb it, or take fire damage while transformed from a different source.

Just give me transformation for EVERY major boss and I'm happy
@@BadEnd98 LOL! Yeah, that's going to be a lot of work for Game Science, it would be cool though.

You need to slot in Ring of Fire instead of Immobilize before transforming to Azure Dome Koko.

I'm using Gold Lining now but is not charging any Focus Points? Anyone knows why?

Hello Omarezz and thanks for the feedback and will note this. Glad the content helps and more incoming.
Are they not upgraded or your attack is super low
These are max upgraded transformations. And I put a lowerthird in the video saying I had 167 raw attack to test all of them to gain consistent results.
Enemy?
Meaning?
Awesome Video. Yellow Loong is the worst transformation (I cannot see through).
Skill issue.
