    When it comes to Horizon Forbidden West Tutorials you are the best youtuber out there without question. This one was great. Your information is well organized and well paced so that someone interested in getting better can easily follow and learn. In's not just entertainment.

    I like Radial Blast too. It's particularly effective against enemies weak to Shock like the Tideripper. I also use it against Clawstriders, they seem to gang up on me everytime and I really hate these dudes in particular, so radial blasting them is super fun for me.

      I finished the game with the radial blast, it was like my panic button to get rid of a bunch of small enemies, it’s also good to just do a lot of damage instantly towards a boss or tough enemy. Very good valor surge!

    Powershots ends up being amazing towards the end game, when you have access to some of the super powerful advanced ammunition. You don't get access to a lot of that stuff til quite late, but when you do it will make Power Shots absolutely worth using due to the massive damage boost and free ammo considering the late game advanced ammo is pricey as hell to craft.

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah agreed. Powershots is pretty sweet late game. Kinda sucks the instant reload trick is gone after 1.09, but I figured they’d probably do that eventually lol

    • @johnfede7057
      @johnfede7057 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Came to say the same. After midgame, Powershots set it & forget it. However I'll admit I use Surges half as much as I should. Because I always forget about it.

    Frost + Powershot + Double Notch for sharpshooter bows. Highest output of damage Ive created. You can 2-3 shot the biggest machines. If they are resistant to frost, use purgewater first to allow frost to work. Double notch doesnt waste ammo and is considered 1 shot so it maximizes your valor usage and if you end up not using all of it, it eventually is conserved as the timer runs out.

    • @chehaljewrajka262

      It's actually counted as two separate shots, which is why it actually aggros enemies when you're in Stealth, cus of that 2nd shot.

    @PluslePlayzYT 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    First, congrats to 500!
    Second, this was a really good video on these. Valor surges have always been a little confusing, so this really helped. Personally, I maxed out stealth stalker first, and like to hit a stealth braced shot, then take advantage of the cloak to make them unaware again, and by then I’ll have another ready to go. You can take out machines such as ravages with those two shots like that.

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Plusle! I’m glad you found it helpful. That’s a good strategy with Stealth Stalker. As you can probably tell, I’m not quite as patient as you to wait for machines to become unaware again =P

      @@ArktixOfficial It does take a hot minute! You gotta wait the full cycle of the white circle ticking down until attacking again to get the boost, so it isn’t the fastes thing in the world. The damage is quite high and you’re not at much risk though!

    I've returned to HFW, playing now for the third time, and found myself drawn to the channel again.
    I still recall the first half of my initial playthrough, feeling that the game difficulty had been noticeably increased. Very Hard felt so much more challenging than HZD Ultra Hard. That was welcome, for sure, but different. Then, I finally started incorporating these new tools, Weapon Techniques and Valor Surges, into my play. What a fun revelation they were!
    I just completed HZD before starting this latest journey through the Forbidden West, and again had to shake off HZD habits and knock the rust off of my skills. On Day 2, I'm still not 100% back in form, but watching your vids is bringing all the old skills back to mind.

    I like these videos. They're well produced, informative, and straight to the point.
    As a person who's done too much audio work, do you happen to use a pop filter on your microphone or a compressor? I noticed in your s sounds, there's a slight whistle and it's sometimes sharp or shrill. A pop filter (or a stocking, like we used to use) may help, as well as a compressor to normalize all volume spikes when you're recording voiceovers. Keep up the good work. Guides like this for other popular games would be welcomed, I'm sure.

    I'm at level 21 now with many hours in and haven't been using any Valor Surges or Weapon Techniques. I guess they seemed a bit "extra" and were too different from Zero Dawn, I just didn't give them a chance. I'm going to try out some of these now! Thank you for clear explanation at the beginning of how to activate and switch between them.

    With the new nerfs to Powershots & Stealth Stalker - Ranged Master has become my go-to Valor Surge. I'll give a nod to Chain Burst though - it's great for crowd control. Clamberjaws are super annoying to me but Chain Burst might be my favorite way to deal with them. Or just for fun - a Chain Burst Braced Shot into a herd of Grazers. It's kind of evil but I like it lol. Easy Metal Shards too.

    Part Breaker was the only valor surge I used for the early game. I experimented a little with ranged master, and eventually switched to power shots, but for the first 20 hours at least I almost exclusively used Part Breaker.
    In the early game I prioritised weak spots and components even harder than I do now that I'm in mid-late game, especially with the lower damage you have access to early on. Part Breaker was the difference between three shotting the tail and five shotting it.
    I switched to power shots recently based on some reddit discussion but I've not quite been feeling it. I don't think I actually have the strong weapons they were using it for. I'm considering swapping to either melee master or either crit master or ranged master instead.

    I really like Elemental Fury quite a bit, not only you apply an element twice as fast but it also last twice as long. Nice to have since a machine will stay frozen for longer and then you ditch a ton of damage but can also help shocking machines to remove parts easily. Recharges very fast too, I'm usually triggering it up to 4 times per fight.

    Part Breaker is indeed really nice for those who have really good aim & hit components most of the time anyway as it actually has better damage bonuses than Ranged Master, however it doesn't boost the power of weapon techniques at all. It's best used when just fighting normally w regular old ammo & it is indeed great when farming for parts.
