Just quickly wanted to say thank you all for the recent support on the Lies of P content! I really do appreciate it :) Also, let me know what type of weapon combinations you're running in your playthroughs!
Acidic Great Curved Sword + Puppet's Saber Handle. Highest damage I've seen, high speed, crazy amount of stagger damage. Also the handle fable art adds extra ATK.
Using the rapier blade (stab type) and mjolnir handle (slash type with a penalty to stab) is why it does terrible damage. You should really match attack types when assembling weapons. Each piece shows it's affinity to stab or slash
Yeah, that’s true. Just I wanted to show that you can still use a longer handle with stab type blades so you have great reach, quick move set and can stagger quite easily :)
Not necessarily. Sometimes you can eat the damage penalty for stronger dps overall. The point of the system is to balance the possible speed of heavier weapons with fast handles and viceversa.
I don’t speak from experience, but I think there is substantially more benefit in using the rapier head with slash handles than most other non-congruent combinations. There is the large decrease in damage, yes, but the pros are a very fast head, great reach, and a number of sweeping attacks you’d lack on a thrust moveset. The vice versa for comparison, Mjolnir head on the rapier handle, would end up with the opposite of all of these on top of the reduced damage.
@@DipreG you have an overall 25/to50% damage reduction, so the statement make no sense, since pairing the blade with a compatible handle with the same speed will do so much more damage. do you want a longer reach on the rapier? acidic spear handle. Thje first combination we see in the video is far better with the same blade (ment for stab) on the salamander handle, is faster than that with no penality. You can do the same but withouth the penalities wih all the weapons. Even if the numbers in your stats is the same, if you test you'll see the drastic debuff to de damage you have
The acidic dagger deals most of its damage from stabbing, is important to match the handle slash or stab type with the blade’s type, some deal both but there are exceptions, for example the knight’s curse handle is both slash and stab but its guard parry and move sets are mostly slash
The more I experiment with the weapon combining systems, the more amazed I am with this game. Even with the absence of a magic system, the build variety is absolutely insane, and the ability to 'plug and play' your favorite moveset with a variety of different blades (and blunt weapons) for varying attack speed, defense/guard regain, fable art combinations and effectiveness vs different enemy types is SO engaging. Whereas in other souls games, I tend to find my favorite weapon type and stick with it, in Lies of P I feel the constant urge to experiment and try every weapon handle with every blade, just to see how it changes my playstyle. I think this game will still be talked about in ten years, as a top tier Souls-like. Fromsoft will always be king of the genre, but I look forward to whatever this company does next.
I would be very surprised if I don't see FromSoftware take a leaf out of the weapon system! Tbh, i'm surprised it's taken this long to have this kind of feature to be included in a souls-like game - It's genuinely the best thing to bless the genre!
The changes to the weight has made one weapon combo that I have much better. The Military Shovel Blade with the Coil Mjolnir handle. The handle is the second longest reach (The first being the shovels handle extended form), so it plays well to the shovel blades FA and thanks to it's weight it is also somewhat fast to attack with. The reverse of the two weapons also works very well as well as the shovel handle's charged attack makes the coil mjolnir head hit hard.
Ng+7 here almost all status 100 and still having fun, but I have to say any weapon combination is about fun now , cause the game is so easier in 13 that basically any weapon works very well and u still can pretty much finish the game with any weapon not to mention the archbishop Trident or the nameless puppet swords are still just the best with all that critical. Not even talking about consumables and Missile/Aegis arm. For those who like challenges I think they should add a option to make things more difficult in the future update, because now is basically impossible after NG+2 have any difficult, but for Casual players like me, this update was the best cause now I can actually have fun instead suffering every step. But I know that people that like Soul-like games enjoy the suffering of dying hundred of times which now is kind impossible in later-middle game Something that could be easily fixed but add hell difficult mode and would please greeks and troyans.
Yeah it would be nice to have a difficulty slider/choice - Would then cater for everyone - I too felt that this update brought a lot of fresh things as you can use any weapon essentially now :)
When I say casual what meant for me, I don't like try hard, Tbh honest I almost gave up in the begging because I couldn't pass the first puppet guard, after die many time, never played or enjoyed any soul-like game, the reason I loved Lies of P since before release was the trailer my first thought that would be one of those normal slash RPG, like Kingdom Hearts, and you focus more on the lore, level up,story, fun combos than the difficulty itself, when my friend said that would be a Dark souls game but with Pinocchio theme I got so sad 😭, I just waited to update 1.1 almost 1.2 to play for real, even tho I have game pass and "played" (not really) on first day release. But what made go through all the rage of dying zillions for Fuecoco, kage bunshin ninja lady, Brotherhood siblings the return of the undead, all the hell the was fall to your death in the cathedral and zombie cave. Was just because I loved truly the game, not all that dying and frustration, now that I have everything full the game and with this update, I can finally focus on py attention in every single detail and make 100% of the game, (still in 92,5%)
embrace 'self difficulty' limit your health stat to make every hit count. the enemies maybe easier to deal with but limiting your health would make every hit on you feel dangerous
Acidic Crystal Spear Handle with Salamander Fire Dagger is my favourite since dagger blade and spear handle both have high advance affinity you can enhance the dagger's range supporting swift and heavy thrusts with no attribution loss
I've been using the clock sword handle with the wrench head since it still goes decently fast for all the sheer damage of the wrench head. It's very all in with the taunt buff and a little stubby in range but it's been a workhorse for me. Glad mjolnir handle got a shout out in this since it's also a pretty versatile handle. A couple other things I tried was Halberd handle I stuck the greatsword of fate blade, and rapier with the spear of honor handle just because it makes it a bit faster. Trying out military shovel handle with other things too.
I have a quality build with Dex/Technique being higher. The best blade/handle combo I have found is the Bone-Cutting Sawblade and the Booster Glaive Handle. It offers a charged heavy that allows P to close distance, it is heavy enough to stagger most enemies with one charged heavy, even heavier enemies like the Shovel Knight. At +10 it has a base damage of 304. There are very few blades that go higher than this, and those are much heavier. I have respec’d a couple of times to try different play styles, but I continue to go back to this combo. It just melts everything.
@@asraiSOA I absolutely love it. I’ve learned how to time my attacks based off of this combo. I’ve upgraded my puppet string to max it out. I usually just puppet string and hold it to flatten whatever enemy is in front of me. Then wait a second until they start to get up. Hit them with a charger heavy. Rinse and repeat. This can usually stunlock anyone!
I’m addicted to the booster glaive handle and just about any slashing blade, especially the black steel cutter blade. The handle gives a quick and far forward lunging charge attack for getting those quick staggers and the fable attack for it ain’t half bad, to me anyway.
I found the Dancers sword handle with the Puppet Saber blade to be a solid combo. Ive had almost no real issue taking down enemies with it. Alternatively having the Dancers sword blade on the Booster sword handle has also been super fun to use.
I found the best combination in the game. The city long spear handle combined with the pistol rock drill head. Fable arts are buffs on critical attack rate and attack. Use satisfaction grind stone to increase critical attack rate and alter handle for C/C scaling. Use with the critical atk up amulet, and other attack up amulets. Use the aegis shield, hold block and poke. Invest enough in stamina and legion and you become a wall that can beat the final boss by just holding block and clicking attack.
Dancers Curved Sword Blade + Bramble Curved Sword Handle is my favorite weapon with good neutral damage and decent range/maneuverability. Plus, both Fable arts paired together form a really stylish combo that easily breaks any enemy’s stance.
I've been running the rapier blade with the longspear handle which is a fun and pretty good overall weapon for basically all situations, a hall bam thrust weapon, NPCs bam easy hits in, with quick attacks
You gotta make sure your combinations have similar matching to the original or that move will have issues. Not only in damage but also in stun. I tested this out on the brotherhood fight with a stab thrust move handle. If you don’t have a weapon that’s able to stab you won’t get them to stun. Like at all. It was the salamander handle and the running heavy on all of them stuns them. If you don’t have a stabbing blade they won’t stun and poise right through the same hit. Sure it does damage still not as much as a fully comparable blade but if you see the down arrows you might run into more issues. Seems like a lot of your combinations have the incompatible arrows by it. The rapier blade is only a thrust blade. Its moveset isn’t meant for slash like how you’re using.
this - I see so many recommending combinations that ignore the damage penalties and how that translates to stagger. There are other daggers that don't get penalized with slash that you should use instead. I find the Rapier with the City Spear handle to be a great combo.
@@TheKhoener yea they definitely matter especially if it’s tied to the heavy attacks. If it’s a down arrow on it pretty sure you can’t even break stance. I was confused why my booster handle with the acid spear wasnt doing it and it’s cause the heavy is a slash and the blade was a poke weapon only.
I used the bone cutting saw from the moment I got it because it reminded me of the big Great sword move-sets in Dark Souls. Combine that with a fully upgraded puppet string while upgrading your stagger abilities with quartz and you can stagger enemies in two charged hits. One with the launching ability of the fully upgrade puppet string and just one more charged hit. Makes light work of the carcass gorilla looking things in the Arcade in just two hits and a fatal attack.
Tyrants murderer blade + city longspear handle kinda broke the game for me on ng+2. Basically turns it into a spear with the attack speed of a dagger, that crits a third of the time. A charged heavy attack crit does like 4k damage, and it's FAST
On my first play through rn and I am also rocking the tyrant blade on the city spear handle. Like you say it attacks hella fast and the long range is super useful. I just fought the black cat and he couldn’t even hit me
So after running some tests the only one I prefer in the video is the acidic dagger and bramble sword handle for the nice fable combo and build up, lots of fun, but I do have to say that the rapier blade with the longspear handle is just that but better, but not by much tho, the difference is how much dmg U can get out quicker basically, while the rapier does about a 100 less dmg with longspear then the coiled Mjolnir handle but U can get off more Heavy and light attacks quicker
On top of that U also have concentrate for extra age, apply an elemental buff, use the fable art buff then use the blade fable art for quick and hi dmg
Blind man's spear handle + tyrant dagger is op I've tested for both a quality and technique builds both are pretty equal I'd say go technique first if you're in ng and when you reach ng+ crank the weapon for quality and level up your motivity and boom you're set congrats! Also if you weren't aware the handle has some perfect guard frames within the charged attack still new to the weapon but it's absolutely busted you can spam charged attacks and get perfect guards effortlessly
I still find heavy handles to struggle a bit in this game. Trust me, I use big bonk weapons in all the Souls games, and i gave it not one, but 2 goes on this game and by the half way point, ive come to find while the damage is amazing, the lack of poise and super armor of most attacks make it too hard against anything that isnt left wide open. I did a tech build, and much more easily annihilated the game. The stagger window on bosses sometimes can't even be finished because you struggle to land a charge attack, because the boss moves away or slaps you before it goes off. I've come to find the faster weapon handles with long reach blades are too darn good for every situation
Are you limited by play through for max weapons out with materials? Or can they all be purchase eventually? Wondering if I should focus on maxing only a couple weapons
There's only a certain amount of Max Level upgrade materials within each playthrough - the other materials can be bought in the stores but I believe there is only enough to max 1 or 2 levels each run (I haven't played the game for a while so maybe they've added more since)
Yep, had that in my previous vid - those types of builds don't really seemed to have been nerfed, just more the lower end weapons have been brought a bit closer to that kind of power! :)
I really wanted to like the weapon system in this game and I do think on paper it’s genius but the execution was a little meh. I pretty much stuck to the acid and flame daggers the whole game and I originally had a motivity build. Every weapon combinations I originally wanted to make was just so slow and clunky compared to the base weapon or just replacing the tip with a dagger. Fun game I just wish they’d let me get wackier with the weapon combos
This game is so soooo perfect. The weapon assembly is so innovative and amazing fun it’s like legos for the player. The devs listen to feedback and that deserves praise, although I hope they don’t listen to cries for nerfs as they’ve done in the past because the game doesn’t need more nerfs. The status application buff this patch brought for said weapons in the video is a great start. I also like the attack speed increases for heavier handles and I hope they don’t revert this decision. I have been messing around with some combos. I like cursed knight halbert handle with the puppet sabre blade. The knight handles moveset is so flashy and fast and has a guard parry which is so satisfying, and idk if you guys noticed this but the running r2 for that handle has such momentum it springs Carlo forward so much as well as giving you good attack range. Try it out! Other combos I like it circular buzz saw handle for the same reasons. I guess I prefer the polearm handles but they are so sick! GOTY FOR SURE
Yeah, I think they know that OP weapons don't need to be touched and well aware it's just a PvE game so no need to nerf stuff. Just doing more of what they've done and making it so every weapon/build is actually useable is more than enough to give replay-ability using all sorts of different combos. I'm still looking at other combos and I'll be sure to give some of those a try! :)
I was thinking of doing a video showing the best weapon/build of each class (so technique, motivity, advance) but wasn’t sure if that would be of interest! Might have to get to work ;)
Does it really make sense to use unmatching damage types? Each hit with unmatched type does half damage, so using some of those combination is really 'damaging' to your damage output (pun intended).
It can be to make a balanced weapon - again the power in the vid is from NG+4 so the damage will be lower against the enemies in the vid compared to say your first/second playthrough. Some combinations still work well, just means the type of attack you’re doing will change/be different for what the weapon was intended for :)
Anyone here has a weapon combination against the nameless puppet? I'm in NG+ but my old combination doesn't work anymore and deal close to no dmg. And if I do I'm way too slow and can't parry in time 😢
Maybe try something like the holy sword (boss soul weapon) along with some amulets to help with weight - that weapon does a butt ton of damage when fully upgraded and you can respec your stats if you need by using the golden tree at the hotel :)
You don't think it a big negative that you are putting a stabbing blade (rapier) with a slashing handle (Coil)? I always avoided combos that had the Down arrow sign. Is it not as big of a deal as I thought?
OMG hasn’t people learned by now there are no OP weapons in lies of P, either you master the perfect parry or combine it with throwables, but all weapons hit like a bitch or are too slow, until you are on something like NG+ 8
I suggest trying the pistol rock drill blade with the city spear handle. Poke from a mile, with critical and both atk and crit % buffed from fable. I'm kinda sad about the slowed heavy weapons.. The puppet axe seems like it can't make 2 consecutive attacks without being hit in between
I did try the pistol rock drill but found other combinations to be better - I didn't try it with the spear handle so i'll definitely have to try and give it go! :)
I hope this means beefier enemies in the DLC. Between the enemy nerfs and weapon boosts the challenging combat of a souls-like is start to feel like the gleeful hack n slash of a JRPG.
@@lightgenix591 thank you very much for doing that! I know this particular video didn’t show an advance weapon but I was messing around with all sorts of combos and these were 5 I really liked lol
@@mistom77 unfortunately the advance builds aren’t the greatest in terms of flat damage, you can take pretty much all of these builds and put an advance crank onto the handles to help with the status effects but it’ll be doing less damage that what is shown in the video :)
Despite how annoying it is, it's scientifically proven to work. Many TH-camrs who previously didn't go through the spiel have tried it once, only for their Subscriber count to mysteriously double.
Omg, out of all the buffs, you showcase these weapons and then don't even know how to match the handles with the blades properly. You are going to confuse those who are just learning to play.
Just quickly wanted to say thank you all for the recent support on the Lies of P content! I really do appreciate it :)
Also, let me know what type of weapon combinations you're running in your playthroughs!
Acidic Great Curved Sword + Puppet's Saber Handle.
Highest damage I've seen, high speed, crazy amount of stagger damage. Also the handle fable art adds extra ATK.
Yeah I was rocking that as soon as I got that blade, sweet combo weapon
would say high speed it very slow but good damage
Using the rapier blade (stab type) and mjolnir handle (slash type with a penalty to stab) is why it does terrible damage. You should really match attack types when assembling weapons. Each piece shows it's affinity to stab or slash
Yeah, that’s true. Just I wanted to show that you can still use a longer handle with stab type blades so you have great reach, quick move set and can stagger quite easily :)
Not necessarily. Sometimes you can eat the damage penalty for stronger dps overall. The point of the system is to balance the possible speed of heavier weapons with fast handles and viceversa.
I don’t speak from experience, but I think there is substantially more benefit in using the rapier head with slash handles than most other non-congruent combinations. There is the large decrease in damage, yes, but the pros are a very fast head, great reach, and a number of sweeping attacks you’d lack on a thrust moveset.
The vice versa for comparison, Mjolnir head on the rapier handle, would end up with the opposite of all of these on top of the reduced damage.
i agree with you, but sometimes the comboes, fable arts, technique, size and shapes of the handle and weapons gives better attack opportunities
@@DipreG you have an overall 25/to50% damage reduction, so the statement make no sense, since pairing the blade with a compatible handle with the same speed will do so much more damage. do you want a longer reach on the rapier? acidic spear handle.

Even with the absence of a magic system, the build variety is absolutely insane, and the ability to 'plug and play' your favorite moveset with a variety of different blades (and blunt weapons) for varying attack speed, defense/guard regain, fable art combinations and effectiveness vs different enemy types is SO engaging. Whereas in other souls games, I tend to find my favorite weapon type and stick with it, in Lies of P I feel the constant urge to experiment and try every weapon handle with every blade, just to see how it changes my playstyle.

tyrant dagger + blind man double sided spear handle + technique crank, good fast attack with crit
For a technique build you should try the bonecutter blade with the master chefs knife handle
I like the acidic blade bramble handle but I would do it with the fire dagger since it works with both stabbing and slashing attacks.
Yeah, that is also very good! :)
I've been running the rapier blade with the longspear handle which is a fun and pretty good overall weapon for basically all situations, a hall bam thrust weapon, NPCs bam easy hits in, with quick attacks
The same thing that I do:D
But maybe there's more effective variants like the one in video but don't know... :0
You gotta make sure your combinations have similar matching to the original or that move will have issues. Not only in damage but also in stun.

So after running some tests the only one I prefer in the video is the acidic dagger and bramble sword handle for the nice fable combo and build up, lots of fun, but I do have to say that the rapier blade with the longspear handle is just that but better, but not by much tho, the difference is how much dmg U can get out quicker basically, while the rapier does about a 100 less dmg with longspear then the coiled Mjolnir handle but U can get off more Heavy and light attacks quicker
On top of that U also have concentrate for extra age, apply an elemental buff, use the fable art buff then use the blade fable art for quick and hi dmg
Blind man's spear handle + tyrant dagger is op I've tested for both a quality and technique builds both are pretty equal I'd say go technique first if you're in ng and when you reach ng+ crank the weapon for quality and level up your motivity and boom you're set congrats!
Also if you weren't aware the handle has some perfect guard frames within the charged attack still new to the weapon but it's absolutely busted you can spam charged attacks and get perfect guards effortlessly
I tried the Chef knife handle + Black Steel Cutter and it melted the The Walker of Illusions
Mjolnir Hammer head with fire axe handle. Power, speed AND range!
For Master Chief's handle use fables separately better than hold it.
and try it with live Axe Puppet blade for more damage
Everyone shoukd try the coil head with the salamander handle, use only r2s for the slashes and it destroys
I still find heavy handles to struggle a bit in this game. Trust me, I use big bonk weapons in all the Souls games, and i gave it not one, but 2 goes on this game and by the half way point, ive come to find while the damage is amazing, the lack of poise and super armor of most attacks make it too hard against anything that isnt left wide open. I did a tech build, and much more easily annihilated the game. The stagger window on bosses sometimes can't even be finished because you struggle to land a charge attack, because the boss moves away or slaps you before it goes off. I've come to find the faster weapon handles with long reach blades are too darn good for every situation
Excellent guide very helpful thanks, just subscribed 👍 😊
No worries! Thank you very much :)
Thanks, now I can finally get vengeance on the puppet😈
I used the master chef handle with all of the elemental blades. Mainly the black cutter.....
Number one for me is the acid spear
Are you limited by play through for max weapons out with materials? Or can they all be purchase eventually? Wondering if I should focus on maxing only a couple weapons
There's only a certain amount of Max Level upgrade materials within each playthrough - the other materials can be bought in the stores but I believe there is only enough to max 1 or 2 levels each run (I haven't played the game for a while so maybe they've added more since)
Big pipe head with police baton at +10. Doing the job nicely in my first play through - although the short range is annoying sometimes.
Yep, had that in my previous vid - those types of builds don't really seemed to have been nerfed, just more the lower end weapons have been brought a bit closer to that kind of power! :)
Just picked up the acidic great curved sword - going to try that with the master chefs handle. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@Newtworks7 No worries, hopefully you have a load of fun with it!
This is what I’ve been using in NG+ and I am just destroying everything lol. It’s been easier than my first play through
I really wanted to like the weapon system in this game and I do think on paper it’s genius but the execution was a little meh. I pretty much stuck to the acid and flame daggers the whole game and I originally had a motivity build. Every weapon combinations I originally wanted to make was just so slow and clunky compared to the base weapon or just replacing the tip with a dagger. Fun game I just wish they’d let me get wackier with the weapon combos
Which are the stats of combo 3?
Mjolnir blade & Bramble handle
Bramble puppet axe works for me
This game is so soooo perfect. The weapon assembly is so innovative and amazing fun it’s like legos for the player.
The devs listen to feedback and that deserves praise, although I hope they don’t listen to cries for nerfs as they’ve done in the past because the game doesn’t need more nerfs.
The status application buff this patch brought for said weapons in the video is a great start. I also like the attack speed increases for heavier handles and I hope they don’t revert this decision.
I have been messing around with some combos. I like cursed knight halbert handle with the puppet sabre blade. The knight handles moveset is so flashy and fast and has a guard parry which is so satisfying, and idk if you guys noticed this but the running r2 for that handle has such momentum it springs Carlo forward so much as well as giving you good attack range. Try it out! Other combos I like it circular buzz saw handle for the same reasons. I guess I prefer the polearm handles but they are so sick!
GOTY FOR SURE
Edit: I like the circular buzz saw handles dodge r1 attack, you do a front flip downward slash almost it looks so sick
Yeah, I think they know that OP weapons don't need to be touched and well aware it's just a PvE game so no need to nerf stuff. Just doing more of what they've done and making it so every weapon/build is actually useable is more than enough to give replay-ability using all sorts of different combos.
I'm still looking at other combos and I'll be sure to give some of those a try! :)
Acidic curved blade is giving me crazy dps in ng+2
Can you do a best technique weapons post patch vid
I was thinking of doing a video showing the best weapon/build of each class (so technique, motivity, advance) but wasn’t sure if that would be of interest! Might have to get to work ;)
@@tkcjazza do it king
Does it really make sense to use unmatching damage types? Each hit with unmatched type does half damage, so using some of those combination is really 'damaging' to your damage output (pun intended).
It can be to make a balanced weapon - again the power in the vid is from NG+4 so the damage will be lower against the enemies in the vid compared to say your first/second playthrough. Some combinations still work well, just means the type of attack you’re doing will change/be different for what the weapon was intended for :)
I can’t find a weapon that beats Greatsword of Fate with Wintry Rapier Handle.
What background music did you use for this video?
The best soundtrack of all time... Skyrim ;)
@@tkcjazza I thought so but wasn’t sure
I have a personal question with this update speed runners should classified as Pre update 13 and pos update 13?
I don't speedrun... Soooo I wouldn't be the best to say lol
Anyone here has a weapon combination against the nameless puppet? I'm in NG+ but my old combination doesn't work anymore and deal close to no dmg. And if I do I'm way too slow and can't parry in time 😢
Maybe try something like the holy sword (boss soul weapon) along with some amulets to help with weight - that weapon does a butt ton of damage when fully upgraded and you can respec your stats if you need by using the golden tree at the hotel :)
You don't think it a big negative that you are putting a stabbing blade (rapier) with a slashing handle (Coil)? I always avoided combos that had the Down arrow sign. Is it not as big of a deal as I thought?
I don't personally see a problem - Doesn't mean there isn't one lol but I found it quite useful personally :)
nice
thanks :)
OMG hasn’t people learned by now there are no OP weapons in lies of P, either you master the perfect parry or combine it with throwables, but all weapons hit like a bitch or are too slow, until you are on something like NG+ 8
Except youre wrong lol archbishop trident and pipe wrench + police baton handle are ridiculously powerful early on.
Now I can finish the game 😂
Please do... you've left it long enough lol
the skyrim music threw me off
I suggest trying the pistol rock drill blade with the city spear handle. Poke from a mile, with critical and both atk and crit % buffed from fable.
I'm kinda sad about the slowed heavy weapons.. The puppet axe seems like it can't make 2 consecutive attacks without being hit in between
I did try the pistol rock drill but found other combinations to be better - I didn't try it with the spear handle so i'll definitely have to try and give it go! :)
I hope this means beefier enemies in the DLC. Between the enemy nerfs and weapon boosts the challenging combat of a souls-like is start to feel like the gleeful hack n slash of a JRPG.
No advanced weapons😢
Maybe there's a few other vids on the channel covering advance weapons ;)
@@tkcjazzagood call watched your new video on every class hitting the sub button lol
@@lightgenix591 thank you very much for doing that! I know this particular video didn’t show an advance weapon but I was messing around with all sorts of combos and these were 5 I really liked lol
Whats your p organ setup
All of them 😅😂 - I’m in NG+4 and literally have all but like 2/3 of them
So not even 1 magic advanced build ? this vid is not for me.
There’s no magic builds in this game…
stat based as in Acid, Blitz and burn DoT build (Advanced Stat)
All these builds are based on Technique or Motivity
@@mistom77 unfortunately the advance builds aren’t the greatest in terms of flat damage, you can take pretty much all of these builds and put an advance crank onto the handles to help with the status effects but it’ll be doing less damage that what is shown in the video :)
it's 2024, why are we still telling people to like and subscribe. like we know lol
It’s always nice to ask :)
Despite how annoying it is, it's scientifically proven to work.
Many TH-camrs who previously didn't go through the spiel have tried it once, only for their Subscriber count to mysteriously double.
Omg, out of all the buffs, you showcase these weapons and then don't even know how to match the handles with the blades properly. You are going to confuse those who are just learning to play.
Fun fact - just because the game tells you they’re “bad” combinations doesn’t actually mean they are :)
