Why there are not good dex weapons in ds3? I dont want to finish the game with the uchigatana... Is the pontiff great scythe any good?
>using a faggot scythe over based katana
just return the game bro
No. Use a sharp gem
Two hand the uchi.
Parry every enemy attack.
Destroy them with absolute grace.
This is how combat should be.
>>334806529
death before dishonor weeb
I'm disappointed as well
I really wanted to use the Great Scythe, but it has a bad attack animation, bad LT, bad scaling, bad damage
>>334806761
The pontiff scythe has a s scaling on dex at +3
I know it's a fantasy game, but scythes trigger me because they are wholly impractical as weapons and there's no evidence that they were ever used as such outside of fantasy.
inb4 >complaining about scythes in game with magic and the undead.
Scythes are real and can be judged, magic is not.
to be honest my familia it seems to be best to level str and dex evenly and use reinforced infusion.
What are halberds like? Ain't got the game but use to love gargoyle's halberd.
>STR weapons don't have S scaling
Okay, I get it, STR weapons have always been OP.
>Caestus doesn't have S scaling
OVER THE FUCKING LINE
Just get a thief's dagger. You need a billion hits to kill each boss and you get a cool dodge. Ideal if you don't have a PS4 and want to pretend you're playing bloodborne.
>>334806943
They aren't as fast.
>>334806878
this
40/40 is the way to go
>Not just picking a weapon that looks awesome and infusing it
>Actually caring that much about damage
The only thing that matters is the speed, If your weapon is too slow you are going to get fucked on the quicker bosses.
I don't understand how they are unable to make a decent scythe movevset. They managed to make some interesting movesets for other weapons, yet they only produce garbage scythes.
loving the Great Machete
managed to get Abyss Watchers second try with it
doesn't seem that slow to me for a STR weapon, and charging that RT/R2 to flatten niggas and then hit them as their getting up is based
I blindly went ahead and banked on crystal sage rapier and boy I was not disappointed. with pontiff's left eye and leo ring the thing is a monster.
going full dex/luck build to be a bleed spamming asshole
gonna be fun
>>334807368
The great scythe in 1 was pretty good actually once you learned to handle it.
>>334806943
Fantastic. OP in PvP
I really thought that having so many weapons and armor would fix my problem with Bloodborne, but I just ended up finishing the game with the same Uchi I got 10 minutes into the game, and I only changed my armor once.
I'm just really bad with stats, so everything looks the same or worse
>>334808074
Im so glad bleed is so fucking perfect in DS3, It was pointless to trigger in 1 because everyone had 3billion resistance, 2 just made the effect not worth triggering, But in 3 it's just right since it can easily trigger on alot of tougher enemies and even some bosses.
>>334808074
You dont get the Hollow ember until around the end of the game. Good luck with that.
>"Oh boy I can't wait to stack all this Strength and use all these cool strength weapons"
>End up just putting Heavy on my starting axe and never finding anything that measures up to it.
i used a scythe all through Dark Souls II. I'll make it work.
Scythe of Want is mai weaponfu.
>>334808251
>Being a minmaxing faggot
>Caring about slight damage differences
>>334806389
Pontiff scythe isn't very good since you can't buff/infuse it, and frostbite is garbage.
Get either the Great Scythe or the Corvian Great Scythe, depending on if you want a bit more base damage or more bleed damage. Both are still great weapons.
Try the sharp infusion
>>334808306
I'm talking more weapon speed and poise damage actually.
>>334808224
>using bleed to kill the crystal sage
He didn't even get to teleport once holy shit.
>>334808251
I did the same thing but other weapons still have advantages like range and stagger.
Anyone else realised how awesome this thing is? A bit r1 spammy but what the heck isn't amirite?
>>334808330
I'm doing NG+ with Refined Great Scythe two handed. Gotta be hard leaving my shield behind
This game made me think "oh, why the fuck am I even carrying that shield?"
This didn't happen in the previous two. Is it weird?
Is there a respect item?
>>334806873
I used to be like you but as long as it's not ff or wow level overdesigned I'm fine with it.
guns have it worse in the vidya world
>>334808484
There's a respecNPC
>>334808464
I felt that with Dark Souls 2. But not this one.
>>334808246
>Good luck
he skilled luck you mong
also there's an early one
>>334808530
Dope thanks anon
>>334808484
Yes, pale tongues. You can find like 3 per playthrough normally and easily farm extra ones online.
>>334808359
Oh well that i can agree on, ALOT of slower STR weapons are so gimped just because of their speed, Didnt stop me from changing shit up alot, I went from Heavy Battle Axe to Butchers Knife to Dual wield axes.
Sad truth is axes are the most viable STR options.

>>334806389
Why are straightsword so boring and shit? They all have the same fucking moveset, except for broadsword, which would be toptier offhand weapon if the fucking miyazaki hack didnt forever fuck offhand weapons.
>L1 is block, better have that 40% reduction with no stability, right?
>L2 is basic out of context basic attack
>L2 does that basic shit no matter what you do
>Running L2? Better stop and do basic L2
>Rolling L2? Better stand up and do basic L2
Basically, if you want to have weapons in both hands you are fucked for life. Fucking why? Also, key press buffer, kills me. Literally.
Also, this is what everyone and their mother look like.
>>334808464
I don't blame you. Most enemies can break your shield in one hit, and some can riposte you.
>tfw twin drang spears
the twin weapons are all pretty neat.
>>334808464
I'm with you
I've 2handed the majority of this game with no shield
it's made my rolling a lot better
>>334806943
low AR but best movesets
good in PvP but there are better PvE options
>>334807098
You are one cheeky little cunt, anon. I love it.
>>334808661
>Basically, if you want to have weapons in both hands you are fucked for life
good. dual wielding is for edgy teens anyways
>decide to two-hand my weapon

Holy shit.
>>334808661
>straightswords can literally R1 stunlock someone from 100%-0 if you have enough stamina to keep mashing
no wonder everyone uses these thing, i'm not even a very good pvper and i've won all my fight except one just by R1 mashing.
>>334808634
You can only do that 5 times. Get fucked PvPfags.
>>334806873
Obviously modified, but they were used in a few war during the dark ages. Look it uh on youtube, that Skallagrim guy talks about it.
damage for days, L1 stun spam, everything you need
>>334806389
>No good dex weapons
Rapiers, pleb
>>334808692
>the twin weapons are all pretty neat.
You are whole new level disgusting fucking faggot.
>>334808881
PvP is fucking trash this time around.
>what is Great Scythe
Been using it the entire game, what a great weapon.
How are damage and weapon requirements affected when I 2hand? Simple 1.5 times strength like in the previous games?
Is there any PvP/invasions in NG+?
>>334809048
How are you enjoying butcheredstock?
Where the fuck do I find some other dual blades? I've been using sellswords since the start of the game. I don't want to waste a blood gem on one then find something better a few hours later
>>334808826
2 handing your weapon has always been the way to go. After you get good at dodging and knowing the range of the enemy's attacks there's no reason for a shield. Except if you want to parry but whatever.
>>334808943
That makes no sense
>>334809095
NG cycle doesn't matter, it's pure SL and weapon reinforcement based.
>>334809095
>mfw crushing everything with the heavy great club
>>334806873
Shut up nerd! People used modified scythes.
pic related.
>>334809161
farm grave wardens in the cathedral of the deep for their twinblades with blood dmg
>>334809240
He doesn't know that any decent player has a character dedicated to every build instead of having respeccing all the time. Some scrubs anon, some scrubs...
>>334809340
Oh good there's like what, 2 of them? That's gonna take forever.
>>334809413
Use some coins.
>>334806389
90% of the games weapons are dex.
>>334807086
Basically nothing has S scaling. It's all D/C and maybe B with a scaling infusion applied.
>>334808251
Never found the Butcher Knife, eh?
![crystal_sages_rapier[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/rtiP7aB.png "crystal_sages_rapier[1].png")
>>334809240
No, it doesnt make any fucking sense at all. DaS3 takes a huge shit on PvP in all areas. I want B-team to come back and save me.
>shit invasion
>shit covenants
>shit offhands
>shit dualweaps instead of powerstance
I ma kinda glad magic got fucked so hard, magefags were cancer in every game prior. Though It fucking hurts when soul greatsword does less damage than my Sage rapier R1.
>>334809471
Dark Sword infused with Lightning has S scaling with Faith.
Yes really.
>>334807086
Butcher Knife has S scaling.>>334807086
>>334809021
>Damage for days
Do you have 40/40/40/40 or something? The damage on these things is terrible.
>>334809049
but why, anon? doesn't your mom let you use TWO spears?
>>334806873
Scythe were tools used by farmers. When these said farmers got into civil war against a king they used whatever they had, thus scythes, for example in the French Revolution.
But I'm sure they'd be useless against anything other than flesh
>>334809161
Grave Warden Twinblades can be farmed. Kinda low damage but they have bleed. The rest is mostly pretty late game. The way to Anor Londo has twin spears, there's twin swords at the entrance to Grand Archives and twin katanas at the end of Grand Archive climb.
Also Dancer's twin swords from a boss soul but they suck.
>>334808692
basically same stats as uchigatana but slower animation
>>334809580
They'd probably still be shit at those stats, it's only D scaling on everything after all.
>>334806389
>hey I'll make a dex/int char and buff my scythe
>range is ridiculous
>damage is laughable
>speed is pitiful
>use chaosblade instead
Well what a disappointing first playthrough
>>334808661
I was using that set earlier just for the stats, then drang, now a mixture of random bits of pontiff, fire witch and dancer. There's not that many viable sets in the early game if you actually want defense.
>No good miracles
>Wasted stats on my character
>Don't know if I should respec or what
Feels bad man
>>334809687
Because you could use TWO ANYTHING WITH ANYTHING in DaS2. And they scratched the whole thing for few designated dual weapons. Dual weapons are not neat, they are shit, they are cancer and they should be laughed upon and be seen worse than hitler. They are fucking unacceptable. Bring powerstance back, and I never even used to powerstance.
>>334809932
They also traded out parrying with your weapon for a bunch of garbage weapon arts. Pretty annoying honestly.
>>334809580
i have like 20 str, 40 dex, 30 faith and int at 10 or something, and i have more than enough damage to perma stun scrubs in pvp or hit and run no problemo
>>334809805
>L2 looks incredibly useful and powerful
>Shit damage
>Bounces off everything
>Drains barely any stamina on block
>You're left completely defenseless afterwards unless you end it prematurely
>Drains an absurd amount of FP
>Doesn't even stunlock throughout the entire animation
>>334806529
>Katana
Wat r u casul?
>>334809539
Definitely agree here. Despite Dark souls 2 being the shittier game pve/lore wise the pvp blows this shit out of the water. Ive been summoned maybe three times as a blue sentinel in my 40 hours playtime so far.
>>334809320
That isn't a scythe except by the loosest definition of 'stick with a curved cutting blade on the end'. Weapons that conform to that definition such as glaives (which I would call the examples in your picture) and bardiches were used commonly in some areas, but they're not scythes.
Proper scythes with a crescent shaped blade and undulating shaft are incredibly unwieldy for anything except plant stalks along the ground. They're farming implements and not much else.
>>334810012
>Scrubs
Well, yeah, of course you can.
>>>>>>Katanas
I would use literally anything else, I do not see the appeal at all.
>>334810118
>been summoned
oh shit it actually kind of sort of works? i've had it on since day 1 and i'm still waiting for my big pvp moment.
who /glaive/ here?
>>334810125
>That isn't a scythe except by the loosest definition of 'stick with a curved cutting blade on the end
Except it's literally a scythe that a farmer unhinged so he could kill people with it.
>>334808074
anyone has experience with this? How viable is it and any weapons, set ups for this?
>>>/vg/dsg/
You can discuss it with others playing last week's meme games in containment. We don't need 300 questions that don't deserve their own threads about the same game
>>334808461
Is refined better than sharp for dex? Also Great Scythe. More like best scythe.

They're alright, nothing special though. Very useful early on for Dex characters.
>>334809240
It's 5 times per game for some reason.
So if you go into NG+ you can do it 5 more times
I never found the Uchigatana, so I ended up sticking with the Sellsword twinblades all the way after infusing them with sharp.
Strange I never found anything that came close to the dps
>>334806529
Fucking weeb detected.
>>334806389
>Why there are not good dex weapons in ds3
Why do you make a dex build if you are not good enough for it?
>>334810312
Warden twinblades are probably your best bet. I played through most of the game using them and it was pretty fun (didn't increase my luck though). Bleed immune enemies/bosses are pretty annoying though since the damage on them is a bit lacklustre.
>>334809703
Give me a single recorded example of scythes being used in combat in any period.
Many people will suggest things like that because it makes logical sense, which is fine, that's what a lot of historical investigation in based on.
However, if you dig deeper into this particular example and try holding a scythe or watch people using one you'll see that the blade really can't be swung in any effective way because it's affixed in such a way that when held comfortably it will be resting parallel with the ground, the user can easily cut grass with a gentle shifting of their arms back and forth.
>>334810312
The problem with bleed weapons is that they are often short range, allowing opponents to run away and reset the status. It inflicts bleed quite often though if you have 40 luck and a pair of twin weapons that can cause bleed
>>334806761
Make it refined then buff. Already higher dmg than most other otakutanas.
>>334810463
Uchi is literally right next to Firelink
go out the door, go right and kill the NPC nigga
>>334810006
You know, since I never parrie with weapon I didnt even notice, but you are fucking right. And you can thank dirty consolefags for this and their shitty controllers with 8 buttons.
Funny stuff, know the start screen? It says press any button. It actually waits for a controller assigned button. Why does start screens even exist? If I want to start the game and go take a piss before it loads, I want to return to the game fully loaded to main menu.
>>334810118
Dont forget Darkmoon AND sentinels. What the fuck? How does the game decide which one? Who the fuck would ever want to be in way of the blue anyway? They should just include every covenant except red and purples.
>>334810463
>I never found the Uchigatana
It's literally in the first zone of the game.
>>334810498
>Still no helmet plume
COME ON
>>334806389
I use a great scythe. Got used to it. The only thing that saddens me is special move(headcutting move or some shit) which isn't do any fucking damage even if I hit it on the enemy neck. It fucking sucks.
>>334806389
The painting guardian sword on a luck/dex build is a weapon of mass destruction provided you stay below 30% equipment load and flip about.
>>334810463
>I never found the Uchigatana
This cant be right.
>>334810446
Its not about gameplay, its about jap thousand folds meme.
>>334810209
I am with you. Though they have nice weapon art.
>>334809191
Use a parrying dagger for that. Only problem is no left handed attacking but ive fallen in love with that parry animation tho.
>>334810652
That weapon seems really really strong for any dex build, attacks fast, doesn't consume much stamina, can be infused with weapon buffs and shit.
I still can't decide on a fucking build so I've just been pumping Vigor and End
>>334809895
Miracles are pretty terrible in this game
>>334809413
Use a coin and go to the spot with two of them next to each other. It drops quickly, honest.
>When you realize 2 handing any weapon is just superior in anyway
Too bad I only just figured this out as I got to Lothric Castle. Would have made the game infinitely easier.
>>334806389
Estoc for easy mode PvE and apparently it's good in PvP too.
>>334807368
Because scythes are for cutting grass.
>>334810498
>dex fags spam R1
>dex fags think they are good
Every time.
>>334810713
Its only downside is the short range but staying light and rolling up to enemies negates that pretty good. The bleed effect is especially good at melting people in PvP.
>>334806389
How dare you want to use anything but a straight sword or katana in this game you fucking faggot!
>Not playing as deprived
Uninstall DaS pls.

Who decided on the stamina formula for that thing?
>>334809471
Dark sword infused with crystal has S scaling with int.
Ok Ok, What's all this dex/luck stuff, why luck? I've been putting some points into STR but I'll respec if I'm about to l earn something really nice.
>>334810248
Then it ceases to be a scythe, such as the ones seen in Dark Souls. There are dozens of different bladed weapons, but they're just classifications for the most part. There's no innate quality that ties an object immutably to one type.
If the only examples are modified to the point where it no longer resembles a scythe, the point is proved.
is there anything to reset my stats like in ds2?
>we will never have bloodborne 2

>>334808251
Dark sword, fast and hits like a truck, I kill most people in 4 hits with it and I have enough end to do 6-7 hit combo.
>>334810937
Luck increases bleed (and poison but that's useless) so dex/luck with a fast weapon using bleed or luck scaling infusion will do a lot of damage.
>>334810969
NPC in the Cathedral
>tfw the lack of poise makes having a slow, but super heavy hitting weapon completely un-usable since enemies just shrug off a 400 pound axe smacking them in the face and hit you 4 times before you can swing again
>>334810846
>THUNDER THUNDER THUNDER HOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I need that weapon
>>334811002
But you can win the game with literally any weapon and you aren't even gimping yourself unless with some meme weapons, they are almost all viable. fuck off
>>334810937
Luck is for hollow-infused bleed weapons. Luck increases the rate at which you apply bleed/poison effects to enemies. Hollow infusion also makes weapons scale with luck while still keeping the original dex/str scaling high.

Morion Blade (as boring as the moveset is) is at least a better katana in looks and damage. I was in the same position, struggling against the bosses since I didn't want to lower myself to using a weeaboo weapon that I only had by cheesing that fight with arrows, but then when I was stuck against Crystal Sage I went back to fuck around at Firelink, got the Morion and have been smashing the game since.

It's gimmicky fun but really not that great, can be parried real fuckin easy and barely does more damage per hit than a straight sword. The buff from the lightning strike also lasts a pathetic 15 seconds.
>>334811236
wat
So is there any resource that actually has all the weapon upgrades and damage values mapped out?

ok

Dragonslayer swordspear, at +10 it has D/C/C scaling with STR/DEX/FAI.
Faith scaling only effects the lightning bolt strike and the buff you get from it which is pretty gay.

With this anon, if you want to say they could never feasibly have been used in a battle because they're inefficient then you're going to be arguing against the vast majority of tools appropriated for beating people's heads in.

>>334811903
Just like their owners.
>>334806389
Get the Drang twinspears, gotthard twinswords, most of the katanas, partizan, any curved sword, Farron greatsword, whips too. Daggers.
Stop being a fukin scrub and look around faggot.
How good is the Fume UGS in this game? It was my weaponfu back in DaS2 along with the Bone Fist
>>334810236
MAH NIGGA
>>334812036
Took a nerf in the last patch because it was an UGS that hurt more than a straight sword hit for hit.
>>334810739
Dont worry about being locked into a build, just save at least 1 pale tongue for the Rosaria cov and you'll be able to respec. If you find a high STR sword that looks cool, use that etc.
>>334809021
yet still shit in pvp
def worth for style points
>>334810846
>that health bar
Why
>>334811236
Melee only and no shields here. That boss was fun to fight, but I died like twice for that suicidal attack he does when near death.
Only annoying part is the fire wave he throws whenever you get too close.
>>334811796
Tools aren't made for battle, they just happen to be able to hurt people, just like anything else ever created.
>>334811906
Probably a stronger handle so you can get a good grip or they sharpened the blade.
>>334810209
That's because there's no washing pole
>tfw no washing pole
>get 2kat instead (2kat lmao)
>>334811465
>>334812198
>>that health bar
That's 40vgr m8, pretty standard benchmark for PVP in every Souls game.
>>334812198
>Not having a big health bar
What else are levels going to be used for?
Faith?
Int?
Luck?
STR/DEX past 40?
Fucking VIT?
It feels like fucking Bloodborne with how few stats are useful.
>>334812227
Washing pole always made me laugh when I saw someone running around with it, never went up against it though, just that two handed fatana.
>>334812227
>no washing pole

>>334812227
Yes there is, I can't remember who sold it, but it's there.
I want to try a poison build for a fullgame run. How viable is it and how early in game?
>>334812315
>he has more than 25 vigor
>>334808246
I'm only in irithyll and I've already found a hollow ember.
>>334806529
Let me guess you use the Fallen Knight set
>>334807086
FUGS has S with heavy gem. It has 590 dmg at +5 heavy infused with 60 strength. It also weighs 25.5 and is slow as hell, the only way to hit bosses that are very agressive like everything from ithryll onwards is to dodge attack. Literall the only viable attack it has for half or more of the game.
Are there any weapons at all that reach S-scaling in dex, at least with sharp infusion? Also I'm really mad at cestus rework, in DaS2 you traded the worst reach in the game wor S-scale on both str and dex, here its scaling is shit.
>>334811548
the pyromancy weapon buff gives like 100 damage with only a 10 faith + 10 int requirement (and this is without upgrading the flame) making it really good.
Another good idea is using Carthus Rouge instead of a buff(consumable item, maiden has infinite stock of them if you give grave warden ash to her) as it heavily increases the amount of bleed build up on enemies, use it when you go fight enemies with lots of hp and you will get tons of bleed procs. I also heard leveling luck increases bleed build up but haven't really tested it yet.
>>334812227
eastern ashes nigga
>>334812428
Poison is fucking shit, it does 3 damage a tick so you'll kill someone in 5 minutes with it.
>>334812570
Weapon in the OP has S scaling
And yeah i'm mad that the mannikin claws are so shit damage wise when they are so fun to use, even worse that the NPC invader using them actually did shit tons of damage with them while the real deal is garbage.
>>334812570
Pontiff scythe without infusion gets S but the weapon isn't that good
>>334812204
That isn't a sufficient modification to make them a viable weapon. Swinging a scythe such that the cutting edge connects requires a horribly awkward stance that gives little reach.The blade would have to be affixed to the shaft differently and probably beaten into a better shape. Of course people could easily do this and it was common to transform farming tools into weapons and vice versa (swords to ploughshares, etc.). However the main point is that modifying a scythe to the point where it can be properly used in battle makes it no longer resemble a scythe, but rather another kind of bladed polearm.
Can someone please tell me where does the Lothric knight greatsword drop? I've been farming the ones outside Dancer for a bit, but I have a feeling there's some other knights deeper in the castle.
>>334808251
broadsword
claymore
executioner greatsword
greatsword
butcher knife
great machete
all fucking killer
>>334812524
>stomp
>>334812436
>he doesn't PVP naked with 10vgr while wearing 3 clutch rings and pic related
lmao fucking casual
>>334808881
It stuns for two hits only you fucking mong
If you get """""""stun locked""""""" you are just panic mashing R1
>>334812771
If they keep spamming it can catch the tail end of your roll and re-stun you. Same thing can happen with rapier, it's due to the speed but it's merely bad luck if the frames sync at that specific moment.
>PvP with Two Greatswords in two different hands
>Main one is Black Knight Sword
>Upon my back lays my Zweihander, the sword of punishment
>If someone listened to their internet friends and just spam R1 with a straight sword, I use the sword art of the Zwei to nearly 1-shot them
Zwei is still a good weapon.
>>334811383
Yeah, ive found that that bullshit is so much more common in ds3. When invading i always get at least one phantom, i guess now that the game is more popular, new players join the game and have a complete disregard for etiquette.
>>334812735
>tfw Calamity Ring doesn't double your damage output to make you a glass cannon
I want to try a faith/str build is there a great sword with a nice faith scale? DS2 had an S one.
>>334810950
Too bad that weapon is referred to as a scythe and your autistic need for everything to be categorized doesnt apply to the real world
Arguing semantics and classifications, autistic fuck kill yourself
>>334812502
what the fuck is wrong with fallen knight you double nigger
>>334813008
>DS2 had an S one.
Defender Greatsword? Loved it. Used it a lot.
>>334811484
This is honestly such a fucking tragedy it hurt.
The skill (Perseverance) is clearly to be used as a desperate block for oncoming damage, but it really just lets invaders get free hits.
I really hope they buff Caestus in the future to S rank, otherwise fist weapons are basically dead.
Demon's Fist is okay, but I just want to play a modest pugilist.
>>334813083
every wannabe edgelord uses it.
>>334806389
Painting Guardian Curved Sword, my friendo.
I got to the end praying and hoping that I'd find a better Dex weapon but it seems almost all of them are weaker than the Uchi, and the one time I finally found one that did more damage, it was the fucking Washing Pole, which only adds to the humiliation of looking like a complete tool to anyone who invades or summons.
>>334813092
yeah
Anything like that here?
>Tfw everyone uses dragon scale set
>I still use the chest because it looks so comfy
They need more sets with big scarfs.
>>334813179
fuck you i feel great using it on my usurp the fire run
>>334806389
I use a sharp lothric knight sword and sharp falchion. Don't know how they compare to the rest but they carried me through the game so far.
>>334813083
>t. 14 year old faggot
The description also literally says the previous owner made peepee in his pants, fitting
>>334812720
You can buy it either from greirat after irithyll i believe or once you get his ashes later in the game. might be wrong though.
>>334813027
>hey guys i took this axe and grinded down the blade so it is now blunt on both sides
>so its a hammer now?
>no its a fucking axe you god damn fucking autist why do you need to classify everything with semantics fuck you
>>334813258
I like the putting out the fire ending best.
>>334811465
Actually, why is S better than A? I never got that.
