Post your bloodborne favorite weapon
>>319619439
How does this thing even work?
Saw Cleaver/Saw Spear. Can't go wrong with the basics. Threaded cane if i want to give fancy papercuts.
>>319621273
>out of all the weapons in the game, saw cleaver is objectively the best
It's kind of dumb. That said Ludwig's holy blade is also pretty up there. And now the pizza cutter.
Quality weapons > Str weapons > Skill weapons. Sucks that a lot of otherwise decent skill weapons also get stuck with arcane or bloodtinge messing with the scaling and not letting you use papers.
the gatling gun.
i upgraded it to +10 with 50 blt and 31% blood dmg gem and its really fun to use
>>319619439
Pizza Cutter and Threaded Cane are my weaponfus.
>>319619439
Rakuyo and BoM
>>319619439
Hunter's Axe/Stake Driver, Just got the game last week and haven't gotten any DLC weapons yet.
>>319620890
It has a decent moveset, meh scaling, and can fire a shot that seems to do pretty good damage compared to ordinary guns (this is experience with 25 blood so may change as I go higher). Overall its a interesting weapon that doesnt really seem worth it for a skill or blood char compared to the blades of mercy or blood katana.
It looks cool though
Where can I farm chunks?
>>319621783
Also, as you can switch trick weapons as a part of your combo the shot may be a quicker parry compared to a gun if you need parry mid-combo for some reason
Ludwig's holy blade. really boring i know but its just so good with that STR and SKILL scaling. i also got the burial blade to +10 and think it's really cool.
i'm at 30 str/skill and bloodtinge. should i raise any of my stats above that for scaling? i decided to stop there and i'm in ng+
Get a load of these hunters that don't speak feverishly, chatting into the wee hours of...
THE COSMOS OF COURSE!
this one's so fun
I dunno why, it's just amazing to smash people into the ground with it. It has decent hyperarmor and can stagger even larger enemies.
Not the best by any measure, but eh. Fun.
>>319622267
get these fucking ayy lmaos out of here!
how much arcane am i gonna need to make this good? also do you need to upgrade the kos parasite or is it attached to the milkweed rune?
is this in bloodborne
>>319622267
kos parasite transformed R1's are the fucking slowest in the game jesus kosm
Tonitrus
>>319622542
You need 50 Arcane and +10 upgrade and even then it's still shit. It's not until you get some rare chalice gems that it's any good. Went all the way through DLC as arcane just for that and ends up vastly outdamaged by ludwig's meme sword.
Gardener coming through.
>>319622661
Closest thing is the Rifle Spear.
>>319622661
Sadly it kinda is. There's a short-spear with a gun on the end. It slashes, it pokes, and it shoots.
>>319622661
yes
it sucks
>>319622767
chalice dungeons were a shitty idea
>>319622870
rifle spear is fantastic
fuck you
>>319622661
>yfw it totally is
>and it's kinda shit
>>319623126
>slow
>low damage
>cant be buffed
>>319621783
it has an excellent pve move-set and putting fire or bolt on it gives you mad damage because it's so quick and the bonus is flat
>>319623241
shit move-set too
isn't even long despite being a spear
worst weapon in the game
>>319623241
"It can't be buffed" is hardly a disadvantage when all of the buffs are flat damage and garbage.
It's not slow save for the first tricked R1. What follows after all have decent speed.
Its damage is okay. What makes it shine are the transformation attacks and combos you can do with it.
>>319623353
>worst weapon in the game
I thought we were talking about the rifle spear, not the stake driver.
>>319623241
as a skill fag it definitely carried me all the way till the DLC area where I switched to simon and the church pick. Moveset is actually great specially that charged transformed R2 that flies you across most rooms. Not really slow either. you must be an STR fag in denial.
Used to be Logarius's Wheel, but now I think it's the Beast Embrace Claw. Rip and tear.
I think I might do a bloodtinge build next. Never done one before. Would it be better to split points between SKL and BLT, or just go full BLT? I imagine full BLT would be hell until you get to cainhurst.
>tfw you wasted your rock falling for the wheel meme
So awful oh my goodness
>>319623545
the stake driver is at least fun and interesting, converting it to fire damage, getting a fully charged r2 on an oil urned beast is a sight to behold
the rifle spear is just not good in any way unless it's in a blandest weapon in the game competition
>>319623631
SKL + BLT is a ton of fun. Ended up getting the platinum with that build, highly recommend.
Stake Drivah!
>>319623707
there's another rock in the dlc
and chalices
>>319623545
Not even, anon.
The arguably worst weapon is the Boom Hammer and even then it's totally usable.
>>319622542
>>319622767
It's totally worth it just to have tentacle arms as your primary attack.
No more need to spam Auger of Ebrietas to be a tentacle monster, although I still do that a lot.
I can't pick a single weapon I like the most, but I do know that ludwigs holy blade is the most boring of all
>>319623434
you're arguing moveset depth with r1 spammers
>>319619439
>>319623787
Now I think about it, my platinum build was probably my favourite. Dunno why I decided to delete that character.
I really enjoyed that playthrough, and then the NG+ speedrun to get the final ending. Chalice dungeons were actually pretty fun the first time through.
>>319623879
You can parry with Augur now so it's still really useful.
Saw spear is pretty nice.
>>319623787
>tfw shooting an arrow into Defiled Amy's dumb fucking face
>>319623631
it depends on what you want to do
do you want to use chikage, bloodletter or simon's bowblade?
bloodletter is best either 14/50 or 28/50 str/blt
chikage is best 14/50 or 25/50 skl/blt
bowblade is best with an equal amount of both skl and blt
>>319623747
it really sounds to me like you haven't even the rifle spear
stakedriver has nothing interesting about it aside from the R2. With the R2 you can make an arcane gimmick
wow so interesting
rifle spear has a lot of great combos and nothing feels better than knocking an enemy is going to attack mid combo and using a transformation attack to parry him
reiter is a lot less interesting than rifle spear

GOAT monster boss in a souls game hands down
combos always take too long to be an effective way to play in bloodborne anyway
in any situation I've been in, having finished the game six times or so, having a weapon with a decent range, good sweep attack, good lunge and a basic quick r1 spam is the best way to go
>>319624072
can you explain this weapon. I just unlocked this weapon. Anyway to stop the health from going down?
I started using the axe, then I tried using the kirkhammer, and it was too slow, then I tried using the Beast cutter and it was also too slow, then I got the fucking pizza cutter and it's just right, I fucking shred bosses.
Really liked the Blades of Mercy in the game proper. Toying with Rakuyo in the DLC though, seems pretty cool.
I think that Bloodborne weapons have their uses depending on your build.
I managed to complete The Old Hunters' final boss with this baby. The alien slayer. Its got the second widest range Charged Attack in Bloodborne, while being versatile as a sword and a very good bow too. The player character actually spins to win twice with its charge attack, while having a free hand to use a gun.
Very handy against Orphan. I could have used the axe but it takes a long time to charge, while the Bowblade is relatively faster.
The stake driver is easily the most enjoyable weapon to use in my opinion desu senpai~
>>319624248
The best way to use it is to activate it when you go for decisive hits, that draw slash is the best move it has and the trickiest to master.
>>319624072
>rifle spear has a lot of great combos
combos are almost always shit though
I get they're cool to see but pvp is too unpredictable and fast paced for them to be useful and in pve you just want to get in as many hits as possible in as short of a time as possible before you have to run away or dodge
>>319624248
chikage?
while transformed it will slowly drain your health
while transformed, R2s will drain shit loads of health
what makes the weapon shine is the period of about 2 seconds after you transform it where it's in the sheathe. from that point you can press R1 to do a blended animation where you pull it out
most chikage combos go like: press L1 while transformed, then shortly after press R1, then R1 any number of times, then L1
you only let it drain hp while you're beating the shit out of something
while transformed it will entirely scale off of blt
while untransformed it will entirely scale off of skl
>>319624530
against newbs charged chikage attacks are fantastic because they don't know what you're doing until it's too late
for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBXb8fNLDgc
>>319624458
it has pvp and pve combos, you dumb faggot
both of which are great and it's actually a better pvp weapon than it is a pve weapon, as fun as it is in either case
educate yourself

>No Amygdalan Arm

This or Amydgalan Arm or Bloodletter. Not sure.
CaneI had a bum foot when this game came out and I initially avoided itHow wrong I was to ignore something that was made for me
>>319621936
Easiest place to farm chunks are the blue eyed werewolves in upper Cathedral. Just strap on a couple of eye runes and bring some marks to reset.
Also my favorites that Ive used recently are the Beast Cutter (strength build) and the Stake Driver. Close third is my Logarious wheel
>>319624706
Whenever I watch PvP it looks really fun, but then when I actually do it it's just tiresome.
>>319621273
Saif is objectively better than those two no matter what.
>>319624853
the cane is good if you know how to aim your attacks
having a weapon that's both righteous and serrated is great too
>>319624931
that's cause you are only shown the highlights
>>319624853
>I had a bum foot when this game came out and I initially avoided it
Why would you avoid a game because your foot is broken?
>>319624739
and pvp and pve combos will never be as reliable as good singular attacks with high damage
combos are shit in 95% of cases
>>319624706
If we're shilling videos, I gotta say blunderbuss is even better in terms of sheer fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq4cRIfklbI
>>319624804
>tfw going full beastie on a boss
>2000 damage combos not even with top gems
>>319621620
Makes sense for the basic weapon to be the most balanced.
>>319624935
saw cleaver gets that serrated bonus though. plus it's just cooler.
I can't image a hunter using the closed saif. lose your grip and your hand will cut itself with the inside blade. it's pretty dumb looking too. Like a poor man's burial blade tbqh
>>319625087
Trouble with most bosses is that you don't really get much chance to build up meter.
Although that's not the case with Maria. After fighting through the Living Failures my meter was full and I started the Maria fight at max beasthood. It was pretty sweet.
>>319625080
yeah I always used to use the pistol because it had higher damage and I figured I'd just git gud and always parry with it
not a chance, blunderbus has king parries and stagger and I've never gone back
plus it looks rad on your back
>>319625087
>Get top gems
>fill your meter
>stunlock the boss while the host looks on in horror
I'm serious. When I get my beast engines running at full power, I can make Laurence sit still and cry as I shatter his limbs one by one and slash him during the staggers until his legs literally explode.

Go and fight the first boss in any of the dungeons here: You only need to fight the first ones. Any deeper and you may get a Blood Rock.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q9enxffA3dyKGu6IVg-P4IVgmKSUYSP9UOOiThHmPIU/htmlview?sle=true
Guaranteed one to two chunks every time you clear a boss. Along with the gems you're trying to earn too.
Note that you don't need to use the chalice dungeons I listed. You can do a run of the earliest level chalice dungeons and clearing the bosses "with the set up I stated" will "guarantee a chunk or two" for each boss killed.
>>319625214
I'm not really a fan of weapons that do weird stuff. That dashing attack as the basic R1 would get really disorienting for me.
The Church Pick seems fairly cool. I tried it out a bit, has a decent moveset.
Rakuyo, baby.
>fight maria in a clock tower
>rakuyo's two blades are like the hands of a clock
>>319625214
saw spear/cleaver are the most fucking boring weapons in the game
>>319625235
to have a good pve beastie build you need to use something that has multiple attacks like the pizza cutter or the wheel

Fuck, I can't believe I haven't bought this game yet.
I don't get the stats - are there clear parallels to str vs dex and magic? Where can I go to read up on builds and the mechanical aspects of this game?
>>319625214
I use the saif on my current character, initially I was unimpressed with it but you just can't beat the lunge attacks
I like Rakuyo. It saved me a few times against bullshit enemies plus I got one of these chikage shitters with it. It's still not better than the saw cleaver but it holds a special place in my heart.

I didn't like the Threaded Cane because I was super depressed when my foot was broken.
Then I stopped being a bitch about it and used the cane because it's awesome
>>319625432
spear yes. but if the cleaver is so boring why is it on the cover of the game.
>>319625352
church pick is very fun in both modes. nice wide sweeps that come out fast when transformed. sucked for orphan though because the normal r1 can miss easy with fast opponents
>>319625525
STR is strength
SKL is dexterity
ARC is magic
BLT is for bullets and blood weapons
>>319625608
why are you trying to make an argument that the cleaver isn't boring when the cleaver and spear have the exact same untricked moveset and that's what makes the weapons boring
>>319625540
Same here. I absolutely love the tricked->untricked attacks and back. They are SO fucking good to punish people and catch them off-guard.
I'm legitimately not hyped in the slightest for dark souls 3. Bloodborne's tricked weapons are just so fucking cool. I don't want to go back to that slow ass simple-minded shit.
>>319625676
>blood weapons
What are these? They sound interesting.
>ARC is magic
Fuck, my roommate lied and said there was no magic in this game.
>>319625432
Sometimes a Plain Jane is all you want.
Saw Spear carried me through my first ARC build.
>>319625087
You should try the pizza cutter L2 revving attack with beast pellets. I've had combos of over 11,000 on bosses like Ludwig, one reborn, and Amelia. I'm using all top tier bloodgems though.
Shit is overpowered
>>319625768
There are a few weapons that scale with bloodtinge, such as Chikage and Bloodletter. Basically, think of the katanas that drain your health, that's the idea. You deal damage to yourself to turn the weapon into a more powerful form.
Also, stuff like Bowblade scale with bloodtinge for the projectile attack.
>>319625768
There technically isn't magic but rather magic tools that require bullets to use. Those tools and some weapons scale off of your Arcane stat.
>>319625768
blood weapons in your main hand usually have a transformation that drains the shit out of your health
blood weapons in the offhand are guns
a blt build is about high gun damage and high damage in general at the cost of hp in some way
>>319625839
I like the idea of gems, but I think the insane chalice gems were kind of a bad idea. Basically means you have to grind hours in the dungeons to be PvP viable.

>killing the bell maiden
Disgusting.
Has none of you fags ever done a sinister challenge run before?
Go to NG+ and get the sinister bell ASAP (or NG if you want to deal with twinks). Beat the whole game by ringing your bell so a maiden pops up and then silence it. This way your world is open for invasions like good old Demon's/Dark Souls.
Much more fun.
>>319625768
The hunter tools use arcane to cast spells that consume bullets. All except Madaras Whistle which scales with bloodtinge.
>>319625768
You can literally become an alien shooting overpowered AOE magic.
The magic comes in the form of tools you use like an item. It's neat.
>>319626012

No. You don't need the best of the best gems to pvp in this game. Hardly anyone does that. With the DLC you literally don't even need to go inside dungeons once. You can just straight up kill the Winter Lanters inside the cave that leads into the Rakuyo area because they drop up to +22% gems easily.
The only build that requires some grinding is arcane but it's not what people make it sound like. You just kill an Ash hunter that has its back laid out bare to you at the very beginning of a certain dungeon until shit drops. Took me like an hour to get multiples of my gems for two weapons.

People freak out when you start attacking and it has unpredictable attacks, such as the forward R2 and the AOE is not "good", it's downright fucking broken. Plus you actually get LESS damage if they hit you while dodging, instead of receiving more as it works normally.
It's extremely good.
Arcane is by far the most versatile build because it can convert every single pure physical weapon into an arcane monster, it can transform into the broken ayy lmao and it can use magic. No wonder it's the hardest one to farm gems for.

I'm sure Beast Mode has benefits equivalent or similar to that. They're probably just less obvious.I can't help but feel like my Beast runs faster.

The roar is a PvE tool for building meast meter. It's alright for blocking vials in a fight though.

They don't even fucking have two transform attacks. I've logged 150 hours on my beast claws character, with 50 since the DLC. It's better now. By a lot.
>>319626614
>Beast mode is pure garbage.
Not by a long shot.

Beast mode a shit.
>>319626885
Quality. It scales higher in STR than SKL, but the scaling isn't good enough for a full STR build. I go about 60/40% STR/SKL.
>>319626885
quality str leaning
quality in this game is almost always 50/25 or 25/50 with a few exceptions
that's because majority of the weapons are either D/C or C/D scaling

>>319627023
Also,
>That's all he fucking tested. You fucking retard.
Which was exactly the point you fucking retard? The point was the beast mode doesn't change the damage you take, whereas the ayy transformation does. Do you even know how to read?
>>319627173
>non-existent evidence

>>319627264
>The point was the beast mode doesn't change the damage you take
But I never claimed that it did you illiterate fuckstain. I said I think it might run faster or something. It stands to reason beast mode has a secondary benefit too.

>>319627336
Quality is a midpoint between strength and skill. Rather than putting all your points into strength, or all your points into skill, you put half into strength and half into skill.
Certain weapons only ever reach middling scaling, but what they'll have is a second scaling at around the same level. This basically means that you split your stats between the two scaling stats to get the most out of it. Sometimes quality weapons can actually be a lot better than pure weapons.

Are you stupid? Nobody needs to post proof about why it DOESN'T run faster. It's YOU who needs to post proof that it actually does, because you have absolutely fucking nothing to support this.
Now keep damage controlling, desperate faggot. Blow it out your ass with your "m-maybe" assumptions.

SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>319627572
SHUT THE FUCK UP
what's wrong with you fucking nerds, why do you have to bicker like this
Haven't used much else, but it's got me through everything solo so far, just beat Ludwig. Whirligig saw seems a lot of fun though, but I've only got it to +6. Chunks are so hard to come by.
I've played around with Holy blade, kirkhammer, beast cutter, saif and amy arm but none really clicked. Beast cutter seems cool as hell though.
>>319627689
>Are you stupid?
Are you? You said that it doesn't have any secondary benefits. I told you to prove your claim.
>. It's YOU who needs to post proof that it actually does
I didn't claim it does. I said I think it might. Huge difference. I said maybe. You said for sure. You were wrong.
Keep going though, you're making a pretty big mess of the thread trying to cover up your reading error and shift blame

Hory shet that was easily the funnest early-game boss in the entire Souls/Borne/whatever franchise. Not that hard because of the gun, but goddamn.The only weapons I have are still the Threaded Cane and the Kirkhammer which I can't use, but the Threaded Cane is pretty based.
I think I prefer beast to ayy. I guess ayy is more for PvP? It was kind of shit for me in PvE, even with that awesome explosion.
>>319627791
Not my fault some retard comes in pulling shit about his ass saying how he THINKS the beast form MAY have some kind of advantage just because he got mad the ayy actually does, when there is literally NOTHING to support his cause other than his butthurt wishful thinking.
>>319627865
I simply LOVE how you're trying to invert the burden of proof here.
>p-prove my imaginary benefit doesn't exist
How about you prove your supposedly existent benefit exists then?
>I said it might
Exactly, which means you have NOTHING outside of your asspulling wishful thinking.
Now keep crying because you got blown the fuck out and can't come up with anything to support the supposed existence of your imaginary benefit. I'm simply loving it.
>>319628009
>I simply LOVE how you're trying to invert the burden of proof here
There is no burden of proof. I didn't make a claim. I speculated.
>How about you prove your supposedly existent benefit exists then?
I'm not. Because I didn't make a claim. I speculated.
Take your middle-school debate club garbage and get the fuck out.
>>319628094
>There is no burden of proof. I didn't make a claim. I speculated.
And I said there was no benefit because - surprise surprise - no one has found anything outside of the ayy bonus with all the tests that've been done so far, which means that beast mode has no benefit at all unless you do manage to find some extremely hidden thing about it. Such a hard concept, huh? But no, let's assume something else because nothing even though the tests are coming up with nothing, amirite?
Now keep trying to backpedal because you tried to pull a fallacy and got BTFO. You're done for through and through.
The Moonlight holy sword hits so many of my design tastes for weapons so hard, its not even funny.
>Untricked is a sick looking greatsword wrapped in bandages

I just need to build for the weapon better. My first time through the DLC was awful because the weapon did so little damage with my build.

Yeah, I just got it and noticed I'm only on 10 points of arcane. If I just start boosting arcane, will it be fine once I hit the soft cap (hoping its 25?) in the NG+?
>>319624072
>le ebin katana unzip
god your webms are so fucking boring pls use that katana to commit sudoku
Doing Str/BLT build just to use the wonderful toys made by "Powder Kegs".
Aka, The pizza cutter, Stake driver, cannon, boom hammer, gatling
>>319628853
It isn't worth investing in arcane unless you plan on really using its lasers. Untricked especially is pretty much a quality weapon.
>>319628885
the katana unzip is fun, anon
>>319628280
You take this shit way too seriously, like, you got passionately mad at that anon for liking something you don't. Re-evaluate your life man, that was pathetic.
>>319629072
So, with 31 STR, 25 Skill, I should start boosting arcane to 16 and then back to following a quality build if I want to use it?
>>319628885
:^)
>>319629515
you should go for something like 50/25/18 str/skl/arc

Until I play around with the Rakuyo, Chikage's my favorite for stupid animu style.
For practical use in-game though, I prefer to Spin2Win.
>>319630001
Wait, is it Kobra or Lucy who are constantly bitching about people emoting after shreking them?
One of those two, I think Kobra, was going off for a long time about people using the Dust Off emote after killing his "Cosplay Build" (which, if it's the character in >>319629582 is pretty fucking funny, considering he's wearing crowfeather on his executioner)
Oh well, they're both faggots in the end.
>>319628280
>no one has found anything outside of the ayy bonus
Not much testing has been done. We haven't even fucking found the 3rd Guidance Rune. You're operating based on speculation too. You're speculating that extensive testing has been done, but can only show evidence for one thing.
>Now keep trying to backpedal
You're the only one who did any of that shit. Give up while you have a shred of dignity left.
>>319630040
Spin is a good move. Get the first hit, easy kills the whole game.
>>319630532
There are few moves that stagger or knock back as hard as the transformed R2 spin.
I also have a soft spot for the Stake Driver. Landing that charge shot always feels good.
>>319619439
The one and only. The charged R2 can do a lot of damage if you hit with the blade and the energy wave. Even better if you get the followup R2 after that. Also, it's just sexy as fuck.
>>319623925
I did a playthrough with that.
It was good, but at the same time it felt really boring to use.

Quick question about the Pizza Cutter:
Consider that the two saws on the weapon are on the border of the weapon's head. Then, if you tried pushing the saw into something, or tried swinging the weapon like an axe, it wouldn't work. The blunt metal of the weapon head, between the blades, would make contact with the target, and you would be prevented from cutting any deeper.
It would operate more like a kirkhammer with RIP AND TEAR edges than a Gears of War-esque chainsaw blade.
Why do people always act like it's meant to cut shit in half?
Is the D scaling in SKL worth making a 50/25 STR/SKL build for the Pizza Cutter?
>>319633289
I dunno, try it in a calculator
http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapon+AR+and+Scaling+Calculator
50skl with this for pve pretty nice
>>319625438
In all honesty, from should nerf this, that's pretty broken
>>319623948
is 50 skill and 25 bloodtinge actually good?

Spinning is a good trick

>favorite weapon out of 8
Well that should be easy.
The wheel in two handed mode is fucking amazing.
Ridiculous stun, bashing people in to pulp with R2 while staying mobile and circumventing the long start up with quickstep R1 that still stuns for days.
>>319637320
I hate the wheel in pve, literally only good against other players

Is it true that Demons Souls is getting a ps4 remaster?

Cainhurst was here, wheelfags are losers!
Saw spear is certainly the most superior of all the "saw type" weapons. It's transform-attack has godly range.
Only downgrade is the already transformed move set.

>superior foreign steel dipped in blood ten thousand times

I finished Chalices on lv 80 with the wheel and Tonitrus when I needed to parry. I works just fine.
I've been playing Bloodborne solid for a week and half since the DLC and I think I'm burnt out.
Now I'm bored and depressed again.

Trust me on this, friend: find a project. And I don't mean some bullshit project like "platinum BB," it has to be a project that has consequences and impact in the real world, either for yourself or others. Something to keep you occupied and motivated towards working to a goal.
>inb4 not passionate about anything
Just pick something that interests you, even mildly and throw yourself at it. The passion will build.
In my experience, many people who describe themselves as "depressed and bored" need something IRL to occupy their time more than anything.
But what do I know, I don't know you or your situation. This advice is probably worthless

Cathedral Ward is big, just explore
Does anyone else hate the Bag Men?
I can never seem to parry them properly. Despite many of their attacks being slow as fuck, they're only parryable in the very last instant or so.
>>319622447
I love zabimaru too
>>319643295
Use shotgun, if it doesn't parry them it staggers them out of animation.
Either that or just whack them a few times and finish off with backstab+visceral during power up animation.
>>319632953
Its not. Its just a shredder. But, it can permanently stunlock certain foes.
And because its a continuous damage weapon when you hold L2 on transformed mode, you can pop in the beast blood pellet, and combine it with the Beast Rune, and you can accumulate damage dramatically. Think Dark Souls Power Within but the damage keeps on going up and up, and the damage you can possibly take as well, except the enemy is permanently stuck trying to get out of your attack loop.
>>319645337
The problem is that the blades on the cutter are rather small. Anything much bigger than a man, and those blades would be virtual papercuts--especially against stuff like Amygdala or BLB. And the metal head of the weapon prevents you from slicing through with the bladed
>>319624779
This is probably one of the most overpowered weapons you can get. I recently did a playthrough and went immediately into the DLC area after beating amelica and got this shit. Nothing could stand before the charged R2 with the tentacle. It literally annihilates everything.
Is Simon's bow effective against cursed Amygdala? I can always consistently get it to the third phase but the arcane ground smash attack always hits me.
>>319646215
I beat the Orphan at NG+4 with a 35 skill, 18 bloodtinge, 10 arcane build with top of the line gems. And my Bowblade arrows were doing 410 damage at him.
I can't imagine how much more damage a full Bowblade build can do.
It had a glorious moveset though, especially that homing spin to win charge attack. But main point is that its technically a cannon that consumes one bullet at a time. I don't see why Amygdala's head would be immune to projectiles so.
I beat cursed Amygdala with my Hunter Axe and Ludwig's Holy Blade. You just have to stay out of arms reach and play turn based assault and retreat with him. Know where his hands will drop.
>>319645927
And the blades do act like as you say. The big enemies don't get stunlocked at all, you can just buy time when you stagger them.
>>319646916
It would have been cool if they had the cutters moveset adjusted to where you can swing without the blades being turned on
