The beauty of the puppet ripper is that it attacks through walls and corners, very helpful to hit enemies that try to ambush you. In the BRB's 2nd round, you can just stand behind a pillar and hit them hard.
Yeah I found the charge r2 mostly avoids the collision that most weapons fall victim too and the way the head of it goes further to increase range is amazing too
I just beat it with Frozen Feast. It actually trivialized the game for me. People think that speed kills in this game and its not necessarily the full truth. Frozen Feast staggered bosses so fast that I was just wasting their health bars. Also they break opponents weapons when parrying much faster. Dont sleep on the Motivity builds people, they're really good.
I feel the exact same way, I used frozen feast the second I got it and I demolished bosses with it, it’s super quick when you break all the stone off and does tremendous damage. Definitely my go to weapon
I think people just say that because it's how they typically play other Souls-like games. LoP is too far off on its own mechanically for direct comparisons to be true.
I think about skill issue .Idk. I love Frozen Feast is a good dmg but still slow But I use it beat the game neither. It literally good for me and I think strength people love this sword. But I'm Dex people so It's more fun when you need more time to attack. I change my style play for this sword then the game is harder than usual for me but still funny to play this sword. tbh
The Frozen Feast is just a worse Holy Sword. The Holy Sword of the Ark is better damage wise and in the first playthrough i was charge hitting shit in the game and staggering most enemies pretty easily. Unga bunga ftw
Holy Sword on a motility build is absolutely a special kind of hilarious. When you pair it with iron wall amulet you can guard absolutely everything. If you build for health regain after block it becomes even more silly. Basically, "I'M FUKKIN INVINCIBLE!"
How much motivity stat u put until u spend it on other stat? I'm currently put 30 and it only add +1 damage to weapon. Is it worth to put more than 30?
Trident of the covenants parry has a charge attack to it. Deals extreme posture damage or whatever it is called. The normal attacks of the dragon sword also have i-frames aswell as the normal heavy
@@Imminent_Wrathyeah that and two dragon can easily carve and poke the competition away if you can properly use two dragon bosses are a cake walk and the trident gets bonus crit and has insane stagger for how fast it is
Heads up about the seven coil spring sword, it also has a thrust attack if you dodge and attack after, I used that weapon for the majority of my first playthrough and let me tell you, this weapon is beautiful
I agree with you. It's a very balanced weapon. For the ammount of stagger it does, it is also a lot faster than it's heavier counterparts. Also the single heavy attack (which is not shown in the video) is a super fast upward vertical cut that can be used on the narrowest of places.
@@jbuno1426 thanks😃 i will start this game tomarrow. Beat demo version with greatsword of fate. Cant wait see how feet this sword.. look of sword is realy imortant to me in every game 😂 this is beautiful
Hell yeah. I grabbed the proof of humanity in my original playthrough and have it maxed out before starting NG+. So excited to use it through my next playthrough.
Dude I fucked up and didn’t look at the endings to not spoil it for myself and went with the real boy ending with what I’m assuming would be max humanity only to my horror finding out I completely fucked up by giving geppetto my heart
The Seven Coil Spring Sword is just too good. The parry takes time to master, but the running leap heavy attack, which combos into a second vertical heavy, massive slapdown in confined spaces, closes gaps really well. The Fable Arts attack does massive DPS, and you have hyper armor the whole time, which can save you from, well, a lot of things, especially if you build into damage reduction during Fable Arts and Charge Attacks. Coming from Dark Souls as a UGS main, it's like the Black Knight UGS all over again.
I honestly can't use weapons that don't have guard parry on the handle, after beating the game with the dancer's handle. The damage-to-fable ratio is just crazy. The spring sword is awesome (my favorite motivity weapon), but I do wish the follow-up to the guard parry had more forward momentum to guarantee a hit, because you're sometimes pushed out of range by enemies' attacks.
Dragon sword and Etiquete are my choices. Both extremely strong. You can use with "Special move" stack and dodge everything and you can just spin away from attack while attacking them back. That weapon is so broken
Great weapons. I'm liking the Uroborous Eye for it's ability to release the weapon for a long range hit. That could be quite useful. For normal attacks the weapon in hand is short but that release is amazing. Bookmarked.
I feel like you kinda skipped over the best part of the "Holy sword of the ark", the transformed heavy combo: Its two stabs with pretty insane range and while the first hit is on normal tempo for a heavy, the secound hit comes out really fast after.
That stab carried my first playthrough lmao. Also if you use the amulet for more fable damage during stagger, you can buff the weapon, get the stagger, switch back to greatsword to buff the next attack and then charge the fable art and hit for INSANE damage
You really should give the two dragons sword a try. This weapon is amazing because it allows you to constantly dodge while attacking + the heavy attack is a devastating counter when timed right.
In my opinion that wepon is one of the worst because with frozen feast just have good parts so you can tank the hot without getting staggered and with the thing at +5 you do tremendous amount’s of damage .
@seanandmonicalebay2847 yeah that was before it is very slow, the new special weapon that is given to you at the beginning of the game does a lot of damage and is very easy to use, it probably does less damage than the frozen feast, but you can attack faster, and with the counter you can down a boss so easy
@@BryanMartinez-ec8ev what aparently most people dont realize is that the graple arm combo attack aplies damage and stagger based on your weapon damage for the downhit so for the bosses that are really fast but have less stagger you can use the arm combo and them follow with a heavy+ your weapon art attack and there is no boss in the game that doesnt get staggered from that, the only ones that can aboid that are the human minibosses with high mobility and the electric lady but for the rest if its to fast you use the arm and if its to slow then dodge and charged for the stagger
Two dragon sword is incredibly good once you get the charge parries down, fastest stagger for technique and the wind slash is by far one of the best fable arts, 10/10 weapon and hard to master but fun to use.
After a few quality of Life patches, I think this game has 10/10 potential. It’s already a 9/10 for me but it definitely has some things that need tweaking like Parry timing, a Poise bar, etc etc
I think the lack of a poise meter is fine. It would be nice to know the exact numbers for min-maxing but it's not necessary. In combat you only need to know their poise when they're on the verge of being poise broken and it's ok to go for a risky charged attack, and the white health bar outline tells you that information. You also pick up boss's poise thresholds just from refighting them so much.
Definitely not a 10 and especially not before the update. Boss speed for basic attacks needs to be decreased by like 5%, the perfect block increased by a few frames, give a damn telling sign for bosses that just instantly teleport to you and instant half health you like Romeo or Laxasia in phase 2. If they do that and increase the dash by a half or whole step further, then I'd give it an 8. The update has made it a 5 in the first 3rd of the game, a 7 in the mid point, 8 in mid late, 6 in late game, 5 in final area with most of the bosses after the police robot boss being a 8 or a 10 but still having that swing speed issue.
and if you block with the perfect block fable art and then use the fable art again you do a counter attack that dont use charges and does insane damage to the target. :)
@@mamutzzyou still use the 2 charges to do the block in the first place. the follow up attack is just considered part of the block. but yeah, surprised he glossed over that entirely, it’s the whole point of the move.
I would never chose the Nameless puppet's weapon over its amulet in my first run. Immunity to status saves your life again both bosses and harsh environment, like lorenzini arcade or the barren swamp.
the saint boss weapon carried me through NG and it has better damage at +5 than proof of humanity which is nutty as hell (modified both with tech cranks)
Little tidbit about etiquette and the Absolute Counterattack fable art. One you parry something, press the button again and you will preform an absolutely destructive counter that i absolutely abused when I got the chance.
@@P4wnyhof Hello again I need help, I've spent almost 35 hours and I haven't finished the game yet, I just got to the penultimate boss, I'm not sure what it's called but it's like the hulk haha, mostly I need help with the P-organ quartz stars if i write right,what is the best way to set them up, because this way how i set them I'm just changing the joystick like a baby's diaper 😄
Strange that you didn't mention the critical rate on trident and Proof sword. That's something that really separates them, especially as you can buff the crit with assassin's amulet and grinder. Basically three times the normal rate. That just melts bosses.
I noticed the holy sword i put out as much damage in one hit as the "Wrench baton" combo people use. Switching the glave back to the sword version gives it the same buff, and tripple charge the first art and WOMP! Not to mention the umbrella having innate guard when unfolded in a heavy attack. So many little quirks the boss weapons have, that you can only notice after using them for a time! I love it, shows they put thought into their designs.
You forgot something big with the holy ark sword. When you transform it back to a greatsword, you get a special boost with it than empowers the first attack you do with it. Making for some absolutely nuts damage
Early game fav weapon was the Seven Coil Spring Sword from the ground slam fable art. Mid game was the Puppet Ripper. End game it was between the Uroboros Eye, Two Dragon Sword and the Puppet Axe head with Glaive Handle. I got to play again for Golden Lie and the Proof of Humanity
I played the whole game with the holy blade of ark, but only in alter mode, I just wish more people had liked that weapon, I found it quite easy to stagger even bosses with some decent range heavy attacks and following up with a whole fable art combo, health bars went down pretty fast and I enjoyed using that weapon, but I regret didn’t trying the other weapons too
Two dragons sword has an inbuilt counter attack if you time the R2 with an enemies attack, was the coolest thing about the sword for me. Also by walking left it right as you attack he does lil flourishes in that direction as he attacks
I used Two Dragon Sword with the Aegis Legion arm I loved it. I used the Booster Glaive Blade and puppet string during most of my playthrough before getting it
I actually have the Proof of Humanity at +5 (had a bit of trouble getting it, since Explorer Hugo wasn't at the Hotel and wouldn't want to trade with me at that point anyway, and Alidoro also was nowhere to be found, had to try all the places :-) and man it's so great. Love it.
the Dragon sword was not for samurai general. IT WAS THE SWORD OF THE ADMIRAL YI,THE LEGENDARY HERO OF KOREA.who made the ironcovered turtleship and save ancient Korea from Japanese invasion
My only real gripe with LoP is the insanely unforgiving parry window. It makes the parry-related fable arts useless because the risk is almost never worth the reward, since you'' spend your fable just to 98% likely get KTFO.
I beat the entire game using the umbrella. Having a perfect parry as a fable art its extremely useful against every boss in the game and pretty much carried me. The only downside is how easy the weapon brakes
Laxasasia is a boss who fights with an extremely distinct greatsword and a prominent lightning theme. So let's give her a boss weapon that is not a sword and does not deal electric damage?
Big fan of Mjolinr and the Noblesse Oblige myself, for the increased ergo in NG+, and its sprint heavy attack is a pretty good leap. The Guan Yu style special weapon is amazing IMO for tech build
I’ve been using the flame dagger since I got it early in the game. I’m now at the grand exhibition boss. The flame dagger has been treating me pretty good, it’s at +7 now
The frozen feaster sword is not bad if you have the stats for it. It’s not good early though. It has very high guard reduction and you can get the health back. Its fable arts are actually really good. Mostly against bosses though. If you get all the guard perks in the p organ, it breaks weapons and staggers bosses really easy.
I like that with most of the weapons or atleast the puppet scythe you get similar or same attacks as the boss and its an actually good upgrade especially if you upgrade it a bit and change the handle
you missed the follow up attack with Etiquette’s L1 +🔺 attack. if you press 🔺 again after blocking an attack, you do a single hit that does more damage than the other counter fable art (the one on the starting rapier and the one curved great sword). it’s actually one of the best counter moves in the game, since you have soooooo much leeway when trying to time it. but yeah, it’s not just a block, that would be silly.
You missed the basic heavy attack on the transformed version of the sword. Fast stab that if you hit two in a row knocks back most enemies and it has such good range
Attach the salamander head to a spear handle, awesome quick fire build up. And the katana is badass. Good range and buildup. R1 into r2 gives a good quick combo, and you can confirm hit the 2nd r2 if they aren’t attacking
Saying "Not bad.. but also not good" for the guard counter is CRAZY! One of the best fable arts - can cancel enemy combos, does pretty good damage compared to 3-slot fable arts, and is just a better parry. I used the Seven coil spring sword for my first 3 playthroughs, and it is a beast. Do not underestimate the guard counter!!
Golden Lie looks completely different for me! It has a mostly golden shaft, leaves on one end and on the other it has a bunch of gold coin fruits. Anyone else noticed?
@@marcelomachado5677 are using a quality build? i'm wondering if it will be enough damage for NG+ on a tech build, with a tech crank it's only B scaling
@@cappzap honestly quality builds are kind of the best in this game because you can just even put the scaling with a crank. Also just a word of advice pump your capacity stat so you can wear heavy gear and keep a decent roll. It also raises your legion stat and it never soft caps. It was the first stat I pumped to 60 in new game plus
Two dragon sword is not the sword of a samurai. It is a sword made based on the motif of the sword of an old Korean general Yi Sun-sin. Please correct it.
It is very much implied that it came from Japan, thanks to Eugenie’s comment about it when you talk to her after getting it and her ancestor’s work as well as “Alidoro’s” motive to find it.
@@EXL72 It shows that he is from Korea, not Japan, from the name to the fact that he is from 'The Land of the Morning'. 'The Land of the Morning' is a nickname of the old Korean Joseon Dynasty. If you don't know, stay still, you will be in the middle.
So something i saw wasn't talked much about is that all weapons no mater the type actually has 2 different charge heavy attacks. Like the seven coil spring sword has the double hit spin heavy its also has the single hit right slash. Same goes for any other weapon. The katana has the charge heavy with the built in parry yes but it also has another charge heavy with a single slash if you do another charge heavy right after. While also mentioning the katana it has a built in sidestep with light attacks. Do a light. Hold you left move stick to either left or right and do another light attack and you will do a sidestep in either direction that you are holding. Not something super useful but worth noting for people that want a sword with fast moves but struggle with spamming light hits too much and end up taking damage for it
Funny part with the holy sword begins when you realise that switching back two regular regime buffes damage of next attack. Doing this and charging the big bonk up to 3 releases damage strike of 7k damage. I haven't seen anything even close to this strike, it's literally minus half of hp of any boss.
For 2nd phase keep hugging it's right try to circling him with occasional dodge to right, for the flame atk you really want to time the stagger when he started to flame coat his weapon.
@sdotwallace It's okay, sdot. I know that growing up, the teacher didn't call on you to answer the questions when your hand was raised. It's all good. Just heal, bro.
@sdotwallace LMAO, no one is ignorant. You are surmising that I do not know the intended use of these words over a simple error on a RU-vid video about a video game. Mind you, you act like you are trying to be helpful but yet someone who did the same thing in another comment you want to attack them. You spew hypocracy. Now go nag someone else's notifications, I have a shipping manifest to interpret and crossconnect. All the best.
Holy sword of the ark is my favorite weapon, he missed a few attacks for it, when it's in spear form you can stab enemies to cancel their attack animation. Overall is really good.
ima be honest. The acid crystal spear is absolutely broken later in the base game. I got through the last 2 bosses 1st phase in less than 20 seconds just by spamming the regular attack button.
New to the game. I got tired of the weight limits of the game and took out time to increase it to Level 65 before completing my first run. I have it at Level 90 right now, and plan on bumping it up to Level 100 before starting my second playthrough. Shit's far less annoying now.
I initially played as motivity and honestly wasn't too fond of any of the boss weapons during my runs. I love the moveset of the coil sword, and both Noblesse Oblige and Frozen Feast were good but preferered using big weapons (wrench, mjolnir etc) with the police baton handle for my motivity build, and in NG+ and NG+2 I went advance build which there isn't a single boss weapon available for. :( The technique ones seem really nice but always prefered unga bunga.
Completed my first playtrough with dancing sword and ripper handle? Forgot the name its quite doable, i dont understand how to use twindragon sword or etiquette Now im confused if i should stay technique trying those or try motivation build
Just wanted to point out that "slightly heavy" is comparable to normal rolling in DS, it isn't heavy rolling. Also, you miss some things when not testing against enemies like how the seven coil spring sword can multi-hit for wonderful damage and has a good heavy combo (only showed charged variation of this weapon's heavy attacks). You also get a damage buff when you return the holy sword back to normal from being elongated, thus encouraging you to play with it in both states. Some of the defensives like the perfect guard (great for moves that are a bit harder to get the timing down for), endue (allows you to get in slower moves against faster enemies while positively trading) and parry (extra damage on top of the stagger build up that perfect guarding provides) are nice in builds that build for those aspects; it seems that you dodge more often so that is why you don't think they have value. Finally, your suggestions are all Technique scaling weapons (besides Proof of Humanity which is Quality), which is a bit skewed. So this really wasn't especially helpful, even more so since you don't go over what you give up to craft these weapons. As some may want specific amulets which they cannot grab if they take the weapons instead. If you want to make a video about which weapons you prefer and why, just do that instead.
Holy sword is my favourite, the range and speed when you use the fable art alter is insane for a big weapon!! For me at least, I found it also staggers enemies and bosses quite often which is Nice.
The Frozen Feast is absolutely incredible. It's slow but you only need to hit a few times to completely wreck boss fights. Single Slash is *devastating*. I think I only attacked Nameless Puppet like 6-10 in total? It does so much dmg in a single hit and does absurd stagger build up.
