    Just a few extra details here:
    -The Buster Blade can cancel its attacks into a block.
    -The Short Blade can cancel its attack into steps. It also grants you the ability to step in mid-air. A dodge cancel (indicated by a flash around you) can combo into any action (including jumps and steps).
    -All weapons can combo into Gun Form. Simply input R1+X in the middle of a string.

    • @derVadok
      @derVadok 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The term "cancel" is very misleading here. You can cancel only the recovery frames of the attack, but not starting or active ones. In that sense, every weapon is cancelable with step or guard. I didn't notice anything special with Short Blade: once the attack button is pressed you can't dodge until the hit is landed, the attack is just quick on itself. Buster Blade too doesn't allow to cancel attack with guard until it is landed, but the guard deployment during recovery frames has the Buckler speed even if you have Tower shield equipped!

      Just pressing R1 activates Gun Form R1+X changes your god arc into its special form/activates its special (extend bite for scythe, parrying move with buster blade, glaive form for biting edge etc.)

    12 weapons type??? I still remember the time when its just 3...
    Edit:
    Little story time. It's funny that this is my first ever comment in TH-cam, hell in all of social media in fact. 3 years later when a notification informs me about someone liking my comment brought me back here, and I suddenly got struck by nostalgia out of nowhere like an RKO.
    I still remember the very moment I made this comment, I was living at orphanage (more like a dorm for troubled kids actually, they never really had any adoption as far I'm aware of) as I was middle school drop out kid trying to get on track and getting his life back. And at the time it was evening, around 5:56 pm. And the rules written that every electronics has to be collected at exactly 6pm, and you see that's the reason why this comment originally so short and uneventful.
    And now I'm out of the orphanage and finally fighting my own battle in the wildest jungle of all, society. My headmaster words truly resonate in me and his guides while simple it speaks a thousand words.
    "Honesty, Responsibility, Diligence, those three quality is enough to get you far. The rest, is up to you to follow and remember my teaching to heart or ignore me and repeat the same mistake you did."
    He's truly a great man, and I'll forever in debt to him. No matter how bad of a people I met, I'll always remember someone like him exist. Someone who unconditionally helping anyone who asks his help and never turning his head to those who needed help but refused to accept it.
    If you're on bad time, it only takes a moment for you to meet the right person to help you. Trust me on this mate.

      The heavy moon is super good despite being a self proclaimed heavy weapon its default form attacks are suprisingly smooth and easy to dash or guard cancel
      The axe form attacks are understandibly slow but very satisfying to use when landed
      Its reach is a little on the short side like the boost hammer

      Scythe was a good position weapon back in 2, There's a small hitbox at the tip of the blade that have a damage modifier(0.5 I think) in it. So you deal more damage if you attack slightly afar.

      @Forgetthereality 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      On the note of buster and scythe nerfs let me also add these: buster now has arts that quicken attacks and charge making them the best part breakers with partial nuking
      The scythe may have been nerfed but tip play (hitting gami with the edge of range) has dmg increased to an absurd amount. I do however think scythe stamina drain is far too high but it is also home to the fastest nuke so gotta nerf it a little

    Wait a sec... they removed the Blast Gun!? But then again, it could get pretty OP easily especially with its storage bars and custom bullets, so it makes perfect sense to either replace it or heavily nerf it...

      I just got this game on switch, it was on sale and I didn't know it was on the console. I'm a long time MH fan and I main GS. Would this weapon best fit the GS style of play?

      @@atheist101 Hey MH player veteran here who also just started getting into God eaters Resurrection, Rage burst and 3. I never really have a main in MH gen, 4u, and world since I use all weapons and just make sets best suite with them, though I mostly use GS, CB, LS, DB, IG, H, HH, LBG, and Bow.
      The buster sword here is definitely faster than the greatsword (also has like 1 charge level), it also has a guard point built in it's combo like in CB or SnS. Though with perfect guarding using shields make a few frames when you guard that nulls all damage taken. But compared to monsters in monster hunter, it is quite difficult to charge your attack if the Aragami you are hunting is not downed or snared.
      Though if you want heavy hitters, Buster sword is the closest to GS. But if you want lots of combo potential like CB: The scytle can extend it's reach like in axe mode in CB and the playstyle feels comfortable if you play CB , I can also recommend heavy moon since I feel comfortable with it like I would use CB to chain attacks with good damage.
      For shield, if you like to guard point, buckler is the quickest to deploy. And if you guard point an an attack the damage is nullified. Though I prefer shields instead of bucklers. (keep in mind there is no armor in this game, your shield's def and weakness/strength is equivalent to what armor you choose in MH games)

While it's the closest to GS it's much different. I've found that my main attack is the step X attack with the right burst skills on it. Also the jump X attack with the downward thrust on it. I charge sometimes when they're down but I mostly step X. It does crazy damage when the part is broken. I'm terrible with timing so I haven't landed any guard points yet, this is also a problem in MH with the CB. Overall this game is really fun and great at filling my time between Rise updates

    @MattGallagherComposer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Wiki admin and That Guy from the community here. Some of you may know me from the discord or FB group, and I'm here to give y'all some condensed advice.
    First of all: Biting Edge and Heavy Moon outclass everything else in the game (melee-wise). Buster Blade and Boost Hammer come close, but they can't match both the damage output AND utility of BE and HM. BE has the highest damage output in the game by a long shot with Halo Assault, but HM is the meta favorite because it's not as situational and doesn't lock you out of guarding/isn't as risky a weapon overall. Buster and Hammer have amazing damage potential with BAs like Deadly Glide/Overkill (for BB; I'd include Anathema but being locked out of your primary method of ground damage when your enemy isn't attacking is kinda nah) and Lost Memory/Grand Finale (for BH), but they aren't nearly as aggressive as BE/HM and can't match their damage output.
    As for the other weapons... Charge Spear retains all its problems from the previous games. The hitboxes on Charge Glide are too thin to be useful, and the highest-damaging option, Valkyrie Glide (IIRC that's the aerial one), requires annoyingly precise aiming. IMO the most viable option is the one that replaces the glide with a stationary thrust. Short Blade is still the king of utility and survivability (with its infinitely-chainable air steps), but its damage output is nothing to write home about. The replacement for Astral Dive isn't nearly as good, since the angle is almost horizontal (making it harder to aim) and it'll carry you across the map if you miss. Long Blade is about as aggressive as BE/HM and is good for targeted parts breaking with Apsara Wings into Void Cutter, but it just doesn't have the damage output that those two do. *_Don't use Variant Scythe._*
    You honestly don't even NEED guns this time around, but honestly, if you're using anything other than Ray Gun you're missing out. Buy the L-sized laser bullets from Faith ASAP and just use those. There's basically nothing that won't melt to a well-aimed laser aside from a shielded Idol.

      In GE3, let's just say you're dead weight if you bring the scythe, but that's about the only bad weapon. Even using a short sword correctly will get you decent damage, mostly because you're going to be able to focus on attack most of the time instead of healing, since you'll dodge everything.

    Variant Scythe: Bloody Claw+Floating Mine is my go to attack for downed enemies. Step Dashing around enemies while laying out dozens of tiny floating explosives and healing HP with every hit is godlike.
    Distopia+Firebloom has massive knock down potential and the spin even allows for multiple hits. Most aerial enemies are grounded after only 2 rotations.
    Inferno Rush+Blade Storm allows you to focus massive damage onto weak points while still providing good area coverage.
    I use Machine Gun with explosive shots to deal large amounts of area damage combined with Rapid Fire status shots (Bind and Venom) to debilitate and a custom Healing Grenade for large area healing on multiple allies.

    As a God eater veteran I wonder why I still watch these videos. Then I remember it's because it's goddamn quality content and deserves to be watched even if you know already. Great breakdown of the weapon types and benefits of each.
    If there's one thing I would add in, the biting edge actually isn't as fast as it seems. While the moves themselves are fast and strike quickly, the delay from the moves to go into a step or a block is actually a bit longer than even the long blade, so while it might seem like a beginner friendly god arc it takes time to learn the timing and block patterns you should be using. If you want something similarly fast but with better step and block response then the short blade is your go to till you get used to the game first. Thanks to the delay, ironically I wound up just pairing a buckler to the biting edge to get those last minute blocks in, rather than a shield for better defence thanks to the speed, otherwise it's tough. You can pair a shield with the short blade for better defence and still be able to pull of last- second blocks, but doesn't quite work with the biting edge.
    But hey, that's how it is for me. If it worked for you right from the start, then good for you.

    God Eater, Lord of Apocalypse and Toukiden stood the same ground as Monster Hunter back on the PSP era and was considered as the best MonHun clones with unique identity.
    Especially God Eater, who had a special place in my heart as it is the first game I played before discovering MonHun and becoming my favorite game series of all time.

    Really feel like the Ray Gun's reserve ammo should've been mentioned in this, it's unique from the other guns in that fact.
    You can store up to 2 full OP gauges that will come into effect when you deplete your OP bar allowing you to stay at maximum beam strength for a very long time. Great when using strong bullets that exploit enemies weakness and if you can keep the beam in their weak spots.

    • @Reialine
      @Reialine 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correction 3 gauges actually, and can get up to 450 if you max your Oracle level to 10 allowing you to hold a total of 450 OP! However the downside of this weapon is that its use of reserve make the gun frame shorter then have a long firing sequence, requiring people to trade the damage output of the gun for better stamina handling, making it only friendly for weapons that doesn't consume a lot of stamina.

      Rage Burst offers Blood Arts and the Rage Burst mechanic (very late into the story), which is highly customizable and offers a variety of playstyle.

    Long blade Addition : you can use zero stance to extend your ground combos simultaneously.
    Short blade Addition : after attacking, short blade special moves (not rising edge) allows the wielder to immediately step back and forth
    Buster blade Addition : your shield can be immediately deployed right after attacking or you can just guard parry (remember, guard parry will not work against certain aragami moves, it requires full shield to do so)

    Shoudnt Sheilds be included since the delay of Sheilds also affects the game style of the God eater as well as. Buffs and its uses like:
    Buckler
    -quickly deployed but once hit by an aragami it decreases your health and stamina
    Sheild
    -a medium sized Sheild that's not fast and not slow as its damage is lesser than what the buckler can resist
    Tower sheild
    -one of the most slowest but toughest Sheild as it dosent decrease your health but it also decrease your stamina
    In conclusion, all stats have an effect to the game style of the God eater and how the use it and mix it with their combos against their foes
