I always thought that physical is the damage type and strike, thrust, slash are sub types or something. I learned something from your channel. Fix this.
How is that weird? I thought it was kinda obvious that physical damage was an accumulation of all of its damage sub-types, that is unless you're a brainlet who doesn't understand basic addition and subtraction.
now lets remember they also made the blade hitbox useless... and back stabs should be thrust with a scythe, since it just gets stabbed through. and that poise still doesnt work
the idea that you can "stab through" with a scythe is fucking retarded. It looks so dumb. Why couldn't they give them some cool animation like you slash their throat from behind or something.
except you don't backstab them with the pointy end of the scythe, you kinda just... mash the stick/hilt through their back. xD That would be neat Mike234 but that move is reserved for Sister Friede :). But I would love if they made scythes backstabs like you said, and Whip backstabs a strangle animation :) claws should rip em apart... I got a lot of Gore(y) ideas for finishers/backstabs/riposts :D
Emil Happy the blade goes through though. wouldnt that whole thing just rip the person apart? what a badly done animation, its likely the worst in the game tbh
Fun fact. Dark souls 3 doesn’t have any calculations. They put all the files in random places and just used trail and error to make the game playable. And the players tried to make sense of it!
This reminds me of a rumor about DS1. I think PHYSICAL in that game was the complete opposite, and the only enemy that dealt it was the roof slug blobs. Remaster when?
Limit Breakers does wolnirs fog deal dark damage? Just curious Edit: well just watched the vid... I was just randomly asking as well. I didn't even know you were going to touch on the subject haha.
The scythe does different damage types depending on what part of it hits. If the blade hits, it does slash damage, but if any other part of it hits, it does strike. You can test this against the skeletons; if you're closer, you'll do a lot more damage, but if you're spaced just right, it does slash, and therefore much less.
It would if this was dark souls 2, but dark souls 3 doesn't have the 'sweet spot' system of 2 and went back to the ds1 setup on polearms, spears, and scythes.
I think EpicNameBro figured that stuff out back in Dark Souls 1. Not necessarily the damage type, but that damage output depends on which part of the weapon you hit the enemy, and which part of the attack animation.
I think I finally figured it out after a over a year, testing and learning about game design Lava damage is of course fire only But it has a automatic damage boost to keep up with your absorption value, so that you can't just stack a truck of absorption and walk in lava forever Iron flesh worked because it not only gives you absorption but also it gives you a flat hidden damage resistance bonus to all damage, this is so that it's slightly harder to get oneshoted by the negative lighting absorption it gives you The secret is, once you reach 100% absorption even if the hypothetical lava AR is boosted by a infinite amount to keep up you're still absorbing 100% of it If you lower your absorption to 99% thought, you should take the damage as normal since it got boosted to the point that 1% of it is equal 100% of it when you have 0% absorption
Faustlican I thought the miracle build thing was just a meme for Dark Souls 3. But I recently tried a miracle build in Dark Souls 1 in a co-op game with my friend. It was suffering. Acquiring Great Lightning Spear had me so hyped...and it was so disappointing. It probably didn't help that I was exclusively using the reinforced club as my weapon though.
That's actually really interesting. If I had to guess, I'd bet that they separate "physical" from the other three physical types so that they can separately balance PVP and PVE. And perhaps the inconsistency of backstab type damage is because they wanted a way to balance the damage of backstabs without nerfing the weapon's damage overall?
Tim Herdendorf he had a lot to say this video. Imagine how long it would be if he had to get all that across in Text to Speech. The old man voice is entertaining, but I understand why he just wants to talk sometimes. It seems like a lot of testing had to go into this video so I appreciate it.
This is actually pretty useful information to keep in mind for wearing armor. I do wish that Physical wasn't its own type and was just spread across Strike, Slash, and Thrust. Pretty much every attack imaginable can be put into one of those. EDIT: Also if the Scythe does Strike damage on its normal attacks, that makes it not only a weapon type designed to bypass shields, but also a more effective on armored enemies.
@@user-pf8hs7nv6z As of now I think it'd be easier to rename them as Cut, Strike, and Pierce. Axes would likely be under Strike or Pierce, while pretty much any (non-primarily-thrusting) sword would be under Cut.
I always thought physical was just a general damage reduction that was used to reduce damage taken first and then afterwards strike, thrust or slash did a second damage reduction. Guess now we know that those are are almost completely useless...
Does hornet ring, that change animation of backstab, can also change damage type of a backstab? Like a weapon deal physical on backstab but with hornet ring in becomes strike, or something like that. And so: Is there a weapon in the game that can deal all kind of physical type damages?
I love you limit. Not only have I been here since around 30k subs or so maybe lower, but you have always made me happy, and I’m glad to see you grow so high. These stats and analysis and just videos you make and I assume you enjoy making, based out of fun curiosity and or for some people to understand concepts or just some reason, that “others” my find useless, I find it awesome, unique in its own way, funny, wholesome, intelligent, and just so much more. I’m just saying thank you. Thank you for existing, thank you for you taking your time to do this and posting your finds. If you ever truly find it pointless at least you share with other like me who enjoy this and find it amazing, because it’s not useless or pointless. Even if it’s a waste of my life span I think it was time I will remember and hold dear to me because i know I can go experience other things in life but I’m happy to waste a part of my life on another Limit breakers video. ❤️
Hold on; is the sweet spot mechanic a thing in Dark Souls 3? It's possible that if you don't hit the scythe on the sweet spot, it deals strike damage instead of slash.
Flat damage reduction is done first, then absorption reduces damage by a percentage, in really really short terms. Thus, 50 absorption is 50% damage reduction, 100 is 100% damage reduction. However, the actual math ingame is stupid messy because FromSoft. Yeah.
that was the question I was wondering. since friede's scythe doesn't seem to have a sweet spot, it dealt it's slashing properly, but the other scythes would just be hitting with the blunt weapon handles, meaning the strike would make sense
Negative, mercury used to be flat damage but was buffed in a patch. It's now based on the HP of an enemy. The reason it can kill things is because it hits many, many times. If I do 1% of an enemy's health 1000 times, I can definitely kill that enemy.
This is my favorite Limit Breakers upload ever, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them all. I like this no-nonsense, non-shitposty format for my useless data. And this particular useless data was fascinating. You just earned a sub, bro.
I'm pretty sure scythe does strike normally, because of the hilt hitting you, but slash when you hit with the 'sweet spot', because of the blade hitting you.
I remember a long time ago, I saw something about spears dealing thrust only close to the tip, the shaft supposedly deals blunt. There is a chance you saw the scythe deal strike damage because you didn't get hit by the sweetspot but by the shaft
It's weird to me they added the "Physical" damage type instead of just doing split physical types. I mean there is precedent in the King's Field series for that. I thought that they had removed it after Demon's Souls, but it appears they just renamed it from "Normal".
Prepare yourself for this lore. Lava corpse man is actually *O L D E S T M A N.* He was the first old man to find out how absorption works, he set his fire absorption to 100% and retired in the lava, for the new generation to find Miyazaki's secrets.
I got it right even before the hint yay!. My friend was complaining about his a lot when he was playing Bloodborne, almost everything resists strike and damage change is relatively minor for the other types. The system would be largely fixed if they just all became physical damage type instead
Ring of steel protection +3, Fleshbite Ring +1 Speckled Stoneplate Ring +1 and Shield Ring with Havel's armor with a Havel's Greatshield and 99 vitality is the best defence build in the game. Enjoy tanking *EVERYTHING!*
Silver knights on anor londo stairs can do phys/thrust + lightning damage. And lothric knights in grand archives can use crystal magic weapon for phys+magic damage.
I would have NEVER guessed that slash, thrust, strike, and physical were all different categories, the way they lay it out is absolutely stupid, but thank you good sir for clearing the confusion and solving the mystery of lava man that not even the old man could solve.
The firebomb info combined with Old Man's "can you deal 0 damage?" video is interesting! For fun's sake, I yeeted a firebomb at one of the Lava Slimes in Demon ruins (expecting to see maybe 1 damage or something equally useless), and dealt 0 damage apparently. I expected all the fire damage to just be entirely ignored, obviously, but was surprised that the (even though it's small) physical portion of firebombs also did nothing at all. I suppose it makes sense, since their physical resistances are high enough to bring most weapons from maybe 200-damage-per-swing on average, to like 20-30. But then again, the point of the 0-damage video was to lower your damage on 'regular' enemies (even with the giant crabbos) to a 0-ish amount then being rounded down. Sadly, yeeting firebombs at the slimes did not activate DS1 poise.
This video is great I made the assumption that the physical damage stat was a average of the others also and wondered how the hell any of that worked 😂
It looks like, as far as damage types making sense (in terms of the different resistances actually meaning something) and in terms of a ton of multiplayer / PVP elements, there's plenty of room in the 3rd person exploration RPG genre that Dark Souls games occupy for new games to iterate and improve on the system.
“Unkindled, you must link the fire!”
“With my wealth of souls I should bring an age of fire to last for all time!”
“What... why isn’t anything happening?”
“Oh yeah, I’ve got 100% fire absorption. Physically can’t link the fire. Sorry boss.”
It's okay, The First Flame actually does strike damage
@@half.blight Got 100% absorption there too boss
I always thought that physical is the damage type and strike, thrust, slash are sub types or something.
I learned something from your channel. Fix this.
SuperCsubi - A Dühöngő Űrmedve man, that IS a problem considering I usually leave some of my brain cells behind when I watch LB videos
You know I love this channel, but since there is useful data now...idk so much anymore...

Don't forget about standard, that's a damage type too
How is that weird? I thought it was kinda obvious that physical damage was an accumulation of all of its damage sub-types, that is unless you're a brainlet who doesn't understand basic addition and subtraction.

Scythe does slash damage when you hit witht he blade part. If you hit with the handle it does strike...cause that actually makes sense, good job From

the blade goes through though. wouldnt that whole thing just rip the person apart? what a badly done animation, its likely the worst in the game tbh
Dark Souls 2 did give scythes proper backstab animations, they just chose not to use them

It might be the reason the game causes high cpu usage and stutters if you aren't overclocked to high heaven.
Muhammed Kaan Yıldız mine doesn’t ever really stutter
Fun fact. Dark souls 3 doesn’t have any calculations. They put all the files in random places and just used trail and error to make the game playable. And the players tried to make sense of it!
If:else
But what about the damage dealt by another player when he falls on your head? It's too useless to be left uncertain
either physical or strike
i'm betting physical
@@leon2550 its trust, what else, one on top of the other, it can only be thrust
Yeah I really don’t care about that, can we please get a video on it
physical for sure. If not then strike but it’s highly unlikely
This reminds me of a rumor about DS1. I think PHYSICAL in that game was the complete opposite, and the only enemy that dealt it was the roof slug blobs. Remaster when?
Limit Breakers does wolnirs fog deal dark damage? Just curious
Edit: well just watched the vid... I was just randomly asking as well. I didn't even know you were going to touch on the subject haha.
Wait, does that mean this channel will have DS1 videos after the remaster launches? I would be so happy.
old man better be young fellow in ds1 videos
Well... can you be 100% sure that Remaster dmg will be the same as vanilla? I guess, that it will need even more testing... Good luck on that))
Limit Breakers can you do the same thing with buffs u need to know if carthus, etc are worth it
*Needs more Crabfacts*
Crab lore!
Did you know that small crabs can only deal PHYSICAL attacks? THE MORE YOU KNOW~
But how correlate durability and health damages? Are you immune to durability loss if you're immune to incoming dmg?
Luxra
By the end if this video you'll have all the crabs you ever needed
Limit Breakers
LIES the video says crabs are mostly strike damage but the water us physical
The scythe does different damage types depending on what part of it hits. If the blade hits, it does slash damage, but if any other part of it hits, it does strike. You can test this against the skeletons; if you're closer, you'll do a lot more damage, but if you're spaced just right, it does slash, and therefore much less.
Big, if true. I gotta go retest this.
Limit Breakers tell me your findings im too curious
It would if this was dark souls 2, but dark souls 3 doesn't have the 'sweet spot' system of 2 and went back to the ds1 setup on polearms, spears, and scythes.
So if you backstab from further away does it do slash too???????
I think EpicNameBro figured that stuff out back in Dark Souls 1. Not necessarily the damage type, but that damage output depends on which part of the weapon you hit the enemy, and which part of the attack animation.
You don’t need any absorb% to absorb my love Limit 🦀❤️💦💦
Sure, lol

Damage types are convoluted in Lordran and Lothric, but weirdly not as much in Drangleic.
Maybe two negatives make a positive?
But the hitboxes?
Best Souls 2 confirmed
Instead defense is convoluted in Drangleic
I think I finally figured it out after a over a year, testing and learning about game design
Lava damage is of course fire only
But it has a automatic damage boost to keep up with your absorption value, so that you can't just stack a truck of absorption and walk in lava forever
Iron flesh worked because it not only gives you absorption but also it gives you a flat hidden damage resistance bonus to all damage, this is so that it's slightly harder to get oneshoted by the negative lighting absorption it gives you
The secret is, once you reach 100% absorption even if the hypothetical lava AR is boosted by a infinite amount to keep up you're still absorbing 100% of it
If you lower your absorption to 99% thought, you should take the damage as normal since it got boosted to the point that 1% of it is equal 100% of it when you have 0% absorption
Then how are you supposed to get da loot without biting the dust if getting 100% isnt naturally possible? :(
Increasing fire absorbtion des lower lava damage received.
But why does blocking it with a shield work?
Grandpa got *I N F I N I T E* *L I F E*

Hildebrand good point. I'm sure he gets tired of doing all the editing, and I'm glad we got some more data
Tim Herdendorf memey and moist
What about demonscar damage it had only fire damage but deals slash damage wich is impossible since it only deals fire damage *how*
Seeing limit liked it wil he test that useless data out?
If I had to guess, every weapon has to have some kind of physical damage assignment to keep it from breaking, even if it deals 0 physical damage.
Thesaurus Rex yes, like I say to potential clients...there is a fee, but I can make it zero dollars...still a fee, just zero lol
Hmmm... but the fire has a cutting-edge scimitar shape, so it makes sense. You're kinda "cutting" stuff with fire, even though that's weird AF xD
I guess it says slash as in it will share a moveset with slash weapons
This is actually pretty useful information to keep in mind for wearing armor. I do wish that Physical wasn't its own type and was just spread across Strike, Slash, and Thrust. Pretty much every attack imaginable can be put into one of those.
EDIT: Also if the Scythe does Strike damage on its normal attacks, that makes it not only a weapon type designed to bypass shields, but also a more effective on armored enemies.
Correct. Also if I remember right, for the normal scythe it is only the WEAPON ART that does slash.
What about axes and swords (excluding curved ones)? They're obviously not slashing or anything, they're hacking/chopping.
@@user-pf8hs7nv6z As of now I think it'd be easier to rename them as Cut, Strike, and Pierce. Axes would likely be under Strike or Pierce, while pretty much any (non-primarily-thrusting) sword would be under Cut.

ilovethelegend yep it’s there and it sucks if you use a scythe
Except its not, they dropped the sweet spot mechanic going from 2 to 3.

It exists only for scythes, seriously compare the damage.
Wait so does absorption heal? I forgot by the end of the video
Flat damage reduction is done first, then absorption reduces damage by a percentage, in really really short terms. Thus, 50 absorption is 50% damage reduction, 100 is 100% damage reduction. However, the actual math ingame is stupid messy because FromSoft. Yeah.
Monika Is My Waifu binch I am aware of this but the title of the video is “does 200% absorption heal” and I don’t god damn remember”

Kevin Beteta yeah it was a touch clickbaity
Kevin Beteta no. The intro says no.
When you say "thrust" I keep hearing "frost"
I figured Physical was it's own damage type but I didn't realize most enemies do strictly Physical damage. Good job From.
Helicopter man for the cameo. How did you dig him back up?
did the scythe deal strike when it didnt hit the 'sweetspot'?

What about pestilent mercury? I heard its just flat dmg
pestilent mercury is enemy hp% damage
It's a sorcery (I think) so I would imagine magic damage, but I could be wrong.

Negative, mercury used to be flat damage but was buffed in a patch. It's now based on the HP of an enemy. The reason it can kill things is because it hits many, many times. If I do 1% of an enemy's health 1000 times, I can definitely kill that enemy.

It looks like, as far as damage types making sense (in terms of the different resistances actually meaning something) and in terms of a ton of multiplayer / PVP elements, there's plenty of room in the 3rd person exploration RPG genre that Dark Souls games occupy for new games to iterate and improve on the system.
Man I love your edits I bit you put soo much effort in them
Also your voice is buttery smooth ❤️
That baby crab spanking session was wholesome.
Good taste in video game soundtracks you got there at 4:00 (One Danger Put Behind Us - Final Fantasy IX) and 6:22 (Limited Time - Final Fantasy IX)
