Code Vein Builds: Queen’s Gambit (Queenslayer) 

Sorry for being a pain bro but what blood code would i use for blazing claw for your spellblade build?

@@brodiewilliams9647 Eos

@@Fextralife but it has red line through it?

I have a similar build but i use the spell that gets you more ichor absorption on your weapon, instead of the attack in the prometheus code, and the ice barrage spell (5k damage by itself) instead of the stun fart projectile. Also im using iceblood, the ice sword. It can also be fortified i think (i still have to do that cuz i forgot). The normal attacks are almost the same as the flame sword but the triangle attack does almost 3k for 1ichor, with no buffs.

@@kato093 Tysm! But what gifts do you use for the blazing blaze weapon build?

Which is…

​@@Huckmon365pretty sure he's referring to Io since her Bridge to Glory buff is really op

I don't get why people get so lost in the Cathedral, the map is pretty linear(linear enough, at least) and you can just pause the game and look at the map Ps: the Cathedral design is stunningly beautiful imo

@@elz1074 yeah I’m playing this game for the first time, just got trough the cathedral and it’s realy not so bad most people say it is, I actually liked this area a lot

I got lost as hell used a 100% guide to get past turns out i walked past where i need to go several times yet didnt realize

but then u cant use the gifts meantioned in the guide. Do u switch ur skills before every boss? If so, which do u use. Im a noob and little overwhelmed by all the gifts.

@@Michi051290 so if i'm fighting a boss, i would switch to a heavier weapon as I said. I get rid of all the status effect like "stun" and focus on dammage and combo efficiency per ichor (this is why i go for the Obliterator axe, it gets the Halberd combos which are the best by far). Obviously I switch to the corresponding weapon buff (double hand sword, halberd or hammer), and the empty spots for gifts I just take dark gifts that counter the boss, so fire gifts for ice boss for example. I never forget the active gift that robs the ichor from the enemy too, it is such a great tool to get 10 free ichor in boss fights. so yeah, in boss fights this build is great but can be heavily optimised towards the nature of the boss and the use of Final Journey

the entire queenslayer gift tree is insanely overpowered

@@SimpleReally because is your original Blood code and as always anime protagonist are OP as hell

Love that game

XD. Only noticed that after this comment

That game is way more fun than Code Vein

Or you know expect patches since the video came out

Thank you so much for the notification about Final Journey. I was using it in boss fights, and I was dying from the timer. I was so confused because there was no way it’s 3 minutes already.

This is really helpful. I'm at the point where I have almost completed this build and I have been looking everywhere for the gift extension gift. The information about Final Journey also helps a ton. Fortunately I've been using it more as a closer after learning the boss and getting them to phase 2 (or enraged).

Also: Quick dash is super overrated and medium roll is great and actually better for fast, accurate, in and out combat. On a melee build where you can easily stun, quick dash is totally useless. Use quick dash for your mage or ranger build. Go medium with this build and wear a stronger blood veil.

Would you or somebody else who sees this have any ideas for great builds (one-handed/ two-handed) at the current state of the game? I'm at a loss for a good build and I feel like what I have now is underpowered...

Do you know if this build is still good with that nerf?

@@peace4kings275 i feel like it still works but is signficantly harder in boss fights due to you having to time final journey's activation mid fight. Personally i like it and it's not too easy to steamroll bosses.

mods

What happened? Am getting into Code Vein and this build looked super cool, did it get ruined by nerfs and balancing?

@@CottonBollBat Not too sure about other gifts but final journey got gutted really hard. To be fair, it was super broken and you could pretty much always have it on (since resting would cancel the effect you would refresh at every mistle) and it would last more than long enough for every boss (not blade bearer doe). The Queen's gambit build was super strong because everything would just be amplified even more by final journey so not having it is pretty rough.

Yes it does. I'm actually having a lot of success rolling full Heavy Blood Veil in NG+ because of this.

Seriously? You can’t medium roll? Quick dash sucks!

This ^

@@ketaminewomble2562 It's coming up next :)

murasame's blood code, bayonet mastery, dex+will up, (from Artemis) night thorn, and brodiea (mia's gun) are an excellent start. Maintains quick move and ivy type for ranges devour to open fights and stack up on ichor for ammo. It makes for a very efficient ranged attacker. Can even throw on Dex up or Str/dex up from hunter or prometheus blood codes to hit S dex. Brodiea is the best dex scaling bayonet I've found and it's super light.

It's up :D

Fextralife Absolute god

Tuff 😂😂

Opportunism is from gustavs side quest. I still haven't found stun shot but at least it isn't important Edit:just found stun shot its from the cliffs of rust depths map which you get from self important revenant's side quest.

@@idk8964 stun shot is in one of the depths maps. i think it was swirling but not really sure

some guy what stages are they in the quest lines for opportunism from Gustav and stun shot from self important rev?

also final journey lasts 1 minute now, extended to 1.5 mins by gift extension

Also a year late but that did confuse me so thanks for clearing that up.

You can go for Ishtar when you gain it, however, you will get it when you almost finish the game. If you want something until then you can try watching his tanking build/explanation and go from there. You can upgrade to Demeter later on, then the final destination being Ishtar. Ishtar gives a passive that won't let your partner die. Instead, if they suffer a fatal blow, they will survive it with 1 HP but the rest of the damage will be passed on to you. To mitigate this damage you can go with Cleansing LIght and Iron Will, as well as getting a Blood Veil that has great resistances.

Gift extension is season pass dlc, not pre-order

@@Rin-ix9dl Ah okay, my mistake

they restock after giving more gifts

Likely for Bridge to Glory and Final Journey which are light gifts. Don't know if Gift Extension is affected at all.

Nah youre dead, unless if you have a teammate they can revive you i think

Shiro Gami pretty sure they can’t revive you if final journey kills you. I died during a boss fight due to it, and near instantly the death screen came up, where usually you have a few seconds of lying there before that happens.

You can't cancel death, but you can always teleport back to your Mistle.

Unless Final Journey doesn’t count as a hit, wouldn’t you be able to negate the death penalty with the passive that keeps you Alive with 1HP after you take a fatal hit?

Tested it. Doesn’t count as a hit and does not work

Dunno if you figured it out yet, but Mia has two different blood codes thanks to DLC, you need the *"Alternate Mia Set"* to get access to her second Blood Code, it's known as Astrea and can be found in the basement of Home Base.

Fight enemies in the latest area in the game you have access to.

It depends on your level. If you fight lower lvl enemies you might not get mastery at all.

I'm honestly so glad that I found a halberd with a moveset that I like (black halberd), I want to finish my first playthrough with one but the early ones kinda suck

Any Dexterity Scaling weapon works.

Nothing

Nep Nep well you didn’t have to be so blunt😂

Kedrick Uchiha not gonna get his hopes up

Feels bad man xD welp after 1 week already found a comfortable build

Astrea is the side code you get from Mia when you get the deluxe edition or season pass DLC

Once you've completed the Dried-Up Trenches an NPC will appear at the start called Gustav. Do his side quest and he gives you Opportunism. If you want to know where to go to get the evidence for his quest, you can find it with Google.

@@Gaembesh_ yeah i figured it out yesterday. Thank you though.

I used the night claw blood veil until I found the noble silver +6 in the city of the burning flames. The night claw is a good option early on as it has low weight and respectable drain damage. The best weapon according to me for this build until you get the burning claw is one of these : crimson longsword (Louis's sword), queenslayer sword , ardent wolf blade. Get them to +6 till you reach city of the fallen flames. As for the bloodcode use Prometheus until you get queen slayer.

@@sarveshchande5087 What are you using once you get to the city of falling flame? Is this where you get another 1H sword?

I do remember that opportunism is found in one of the depth maps (although I can't remember which one) and it is found as an RV-mastery item

JustRCD, Thank you very much for the response! I will check that out. Maybe Stun Shot is somewhere along the same lines. I will have to find out for myself. Again, thank you for the tip!

I was wondering this as well. Currently using a +6 Enduring Crimson and it's done me extremely well.

@@thestrivinghero9536 i think EC better because u can upgrade it to quick mobility and use it with Swift Destruction passive , that will make u really OP and i think with the build on video EC better, and if u have Venous Claw u totally a GOD

@@ucanhnguyen2925 yeah I use the Venous Claw, too!! Definitely gonna have to try this c:

its dlc

It comes from the Astrea blood code, Mia's alternate blood code from the season pass

nocturnPhoenix lame as fuck

tro lol You say “actually” like that makes it suddenly not lame as fuck. Begone.

So, I got a better understanding of the game. The stat up passive increases the stat by one grading (C to C+; C+ to B; ... etc). So, yes it can work. Getting it is a major pain tho. Good luck.

I also think it may be optimally better by a little bit.

You can also use any of the other passives that increase Mind. The important part is the Mind up to be able to use Bridge to Glory. Mind/Vitality Up from Eos and Mind/Fortitude Up from Demeter would also work for example.

@@Solthusx ohh yeah thanks i just couldnt really find anything to replace it thank you ill try it out

That one was Astrea blood code, a DLC blood code for Mia (White)

Gift locations are on the wiki: codevein.wiki.fextralife.com/Gifts - if some are missing they should be added in the next few days as I'm doing a pass on depths walkthrough for missing pages.

Fextralife yo stun shot still isn’t on the wiki

Your mobility has quick which is based on you’re weapon and blood veil

Nah, you’re doing nothing wrong, enemies just hit incredibly hard in the enhanced difficulty for ng+

It’s in one of the depths map as an item. I don’t remember which one.

I know some are stun immune. Mido is stun immune. I originally thought he was status immune but my cuz told me he can leak mido so some boss might be immune to other staus ailments

Mido, Silva and Queen are immune to stun. I have just beaten the game (no NG+) and could not stun them.

You might lose the story unlocked ones not sure though since i haven't beaten it myself but if you can't find it then that's probably why.

@@VoidBL found out it came from season pass lol

Sombersamurai for the looks

I have realized although it’s weaker it does however have A scaling in dex and it’s weight is lower allowing me to move faster

You have a Halberd Mastery in the Dark Knight Blood Code which can be found later on.

@@Razor1Name thx bud

You get it after Gilded Knight

Yeah, you just need to pay more attention to when you use final journey

its a part of the season pass, it come with alternate mia, preorder bonus is a blood code with an ability that do damage around you while damaging you, and a bonus armor.

Doesn't seem like it. Died purposefully to it and Io just watched me turn to ash

companions are for noobs

@@sorryyourenotawinner2506 i mean if you can still say that after seeing lo's ASSets , i literally have nothing to say to you

@@bloblurk208 😂😂😂

There are two blood codes from Mia Karnstein.

Oh. Well I found opportunism and stun shot. Opportunism is from gustavs side quest and stun shot is from cliffs of rust depths map which is from self important revenanents side quest
