Thread 723452358

Your favorite crest? I used reaper for most of the game but recently switched to witch. The heal is taking some getting used to but when it works, it works great. I also just unlocked architect. I havent used it much but i like the moveset.

dead flavor of the month game

>>723452515
Its not dead, i still play it :)
Is it worth getting act 3? I still have to do a couple deliveries for those dummies in bellhart and find like 9 more fucking fleas. Feels like a hastle.

>>723452624
>Is it worth getting act 3?
yes
> 9 more fucking fleas
find Vog in Putrefied Ducts

>>723452624
yes, Act 3 was fun

>>723452358 (OP)
Since I got used the angle of hunters down attack I can’t go without it. I also love wanderers speed and charge attack but one tool slot is a massive bummer.
>>723452624
It was a hassle for me as well but I literally just finished up and went into act 3 and it’s pretty cool. Slog through the flea gathering if you can.

>>723452624
wdym "not dead"? they nerfed shit of some of those in op, it's dead as fuck.

>>723452358 (OP)
Hunter. Then Architect. Then Wanderer.

>>723452624
>is it worth having more game to play
Are you retarded?

Hunter because I felt it was the most cannon and once I got used to the diagonal down i really started to like it. Wanderer was fun and too for those extra hits you can get in. I think beast will be really fun when I replay it in a few years, and you can just tank the shit out of things when you know their moveset

>>723453878
I could never get used to the weird angle in the first place which is why i switched to reaper. People say its the slowest one but ive never really noticed much of a speed difference between them.

>>723454029
Ive heard some folks say act 3 is an unfun slog. I must admit im curious though, ive heard the difficulty ramps up even more.

>>723453252
Will vog be there if i havent gotten the caravan to move to putrefied ducts yet?

>>723452358 (OP)
Witch, for sure. The heal sucks shit on some bosses but that's the price you pay for greatness

>>723454196
Those same people probably bumrushed act 2 and didn't have more than a +2 nail.

>>723454196
retard

>>723452358 (OP)
BEAST MODE BABY

>>723454776
Looks pretty rad. I havent really used beast crest at all since i was trying out the move set and saw the wonky down attack.

>>723452358 (OP)
same for me, actually. I tried switching from Reaper to Witch, but I was already in Act 3 by then and too used to Reaper's moveset and my playstyle with it. so I just finished it out with Reaper.
next time I play I'm going to use the mod that lets you pick your starting crest, and I'll do a Witch run.
>>723454196
>Ive heard some folks say act 3 is an unfun slog
well all the things they didnt like i thought were cool and good, so there.

I used wanderer because I'm a dexfag in any game I play and I won't apologize

>>723452624
Act 3 has some good bosses, including the true final and Karmelita. But you also gotta deal with void shit. Just try to do bosses, masks, spools, and weapon/tool upgrades so it's less of a headache.

>>723454286
Yes, I found her even to the caravan was in blasted steps for me.

Architect, Wanderer, and Reaper. If I replay, I'd like to try Witch and Shaman more, same with upgraded Hunter. I can't get into Beast despite decent visuals for the attacks.

>>723455162
Once you get used to the pogo, it's only real disadvantages are
>1 blue slot (from the vesticrest)
>its dash attack and pogo don't have a hitbox for a brief moment
It's annoying when you can't hit environmental hazards directly below you, but running the delver's drill actually helps a lot with that.

>>723454143
i felt the same at first but hunter's down attack distance is awesome for some more agile bosses. reaper has excellent nail range but yeah, its very slow to me, especially since i also favor wanderer

>>723452358 (OP)
Wanderer.
>but muh range
Wanderer.

>>723456987
Is the critical hit on wanderer any good?

>>723457451
Not worth counting on, but it's a nice occasional reward for playing well enough to not need to heal constantly.

>>723452358 (OP)
I literally used Reaper all game. Hunter's pogo is too inconsistent with its tiny hitbox, Wanderer is too short range, Beast is shit in like 4 different ways, and I literally never even tried the others.

>>723454776
In Beast Mode, her rawring is pretty cute. I can't hear it without thinking of the japanese VA in a sound-booth scrunching up her face and going wild.

>>723452358 (OP)
I didn't really notice any difference in the first few crests i found at all so i just stuck with the one i started with the whole game since it already had the charms I wanted on it

>>723452358 (OP)
I'm way too high when i play games to bother with autism shit like this

>>723454776
>>723455162
>>723458532
Beast also has the best taunt
Is it the only crest with a unique taunt animation/sound? I know about POSHANKA but that's not tied to a crest

>>723452358 (OP)
I like Hunter the most. Those diagonal down attacks are just too cool.
But objectively speaking Architect is probably the strongest one. Either that or Wanderer.

I used reaper, tried all the others but switched back. Its nice and floaty, I doubt I wouldve finished the game if I was forced to use the others. actually one of the tougher segments for me was the transition into act 3 where it puts you back into hunters and you have to fight a small gauntlet.. took like 3 or 4 tries.

>>723452358 (OP)
i liked witch

>>723454776
I can't stop thinking about how Two wanderer crits out dps all the beast mode effort + doesn't spend silk. They did beast dirty

>>723462417
they just made wanderer way too good
the only real downside is it only having 1 red socket

>>723462695
Its got microscopic range

>>723452358 (OP)
Side question: where are the good blue charms?
I've entered act 2, and I think did everything but Bilewater and some secret in the Wormways
Fractured Mask is the only good one I found. Am I retarded?

>>723462745
Wanderer has the same range as hunter, just not as girthy
>but the game said-
Don't trust the game

>>723454056
same
i'll probably use beast if i decide to replay the game
also FUCK all the invisible walls, i've been hitting all the walls i can see and even after beating the game in act 2 i apparently havent found multiple areas tucked in random-ass spots

>>723457451
Yeah. As far as damage goes, Wanderer is consistently a better option than the other crests out of the box. If you're good at the game, then Evolved Hunter with maxed focus and a constantly binding Beast will do more, but Wanderer is great if you're struggling and are getting hit.

how do I hit bell eater without trading hits

>>723463069
>invisible walls
?
not a single wall in this game is invisible

>>723463157
stay away from the head (red) and go for the ass
look at which direction the first bomb gets pooped
if they're too clumped and you're worried just play safe and wait for a better spawning position
also press rune rage and it deletes the boss

>>723463189
*breakable walls
had a brain fart there sorry
but seriously there are so many paths that i apparently didnt find when searching for them that it pisses me off a little

>>723454196
>I'm at world 5 in super mario and some guy on the internet said world 7-8 is unfun, should I do it anyway?

Reaper is a trap crest, the only upside is pogo jumping is much easier, but it ruins your dps and heal(less hits - less heals), they try to balance it with a passive that generates silk when you heal but I dont think it's enough

I didn't know there was this many crests. I got the weaver queen ending and I used hunter for most of the game.

>>723463189
there's an invisible wall that prevents you from entering wisp thicket before you get the faydown cloak

>>723452358 (OP)
DMC Crest-Switching mod when?

>>723452358 (OP)
Witch surprised me. I thought I was going to struggle with the heal, but it feels REALLY good, especially when you learn the windows for a boss and weave these gigantic AOE lifesteal bursts into your gameplay. The moveset is incredibly good too. Generous pogo, wide sweeping attacks with good speed, powerful Cyclone Slash charge attack, AND A DASH ATTACK THAT LETS YOU SWIPE AND RUN WITHOUT STOPPING. Jesus fuck I switched from Witch to Shaman when I got it, and the fucking Shaman dash attack gave me a fucking aneurysm ever time I tried to use it.

Isn't a full Witch bind the strongest attack in the game now, too?

Oh and don't forget the 3 blues. Witch feels like the only crest that doesn't have any real downsides, just a heal that offers an alternate playstyle.
Plus the tentacle sex scene with Grand Mother Silk is hot.

>>723454196
I can see it as unfun slog if you speedran act 2, otherwise it's pretty short
>>723463624
it should give +0.5 silk per hit and the balls should give 1 full silk

>>723454776
Hi Beast Chad. I switched to the Beast Crest last night after getting fed up with Shaman, and it wasn't as hard as I thought. I found Gurr and beat him on my first try, got a lucky stagger while fury bind was up and went crazy, killed him right there. ...fuck it felt really good, I could get used to this lol.

>>723462908
Anon, almost EVERY blue charm is god, that's half the problem. Anyone that plays this game is going to be in a constant state of frustration at the lack of blue slots vs. the HUGE number of charms to choose from.

>>723463157
Use Rune Rage, it shreds Bell Eater. The runes will target both ends when they're out.

>>723464619
Wait shit I meant to post a Hornet image.

>>723465105
Ok, then I am retarded. But it doesn't feel like it yet.

>>723463624
They should really buff reaper's silk generation ability.

>>723452358 (OP)
Wanderer because I'm obsessed with my brother and love everything about him, including his fighting style.

>>723465471
Multibinder
Injector Band
Longclaw
Druid's Eyes (upgraded)
Weavelight
Snitch Pick
Volt Filament
Spool Extender
Quick Sling
Reserve Bind
Magma Bell
Warding Bell

All of these at least.

>>723452358 (OP)
I almost exclusively use Beast Crest
I know it's suboptimal, but I don't give a fuck. Chugging on flea brew, entering berserk mode and just trading lightning fast blows with the bosses gets me pumped as hell. And forward down attack is actually quite handy once you learn how to utilise it

>>723452358 (OP)
The starting one, no contest.
The start of the game, I spend like 5 hours using it, learning it's timing and movement and stuff. And then I get another one that's completely different? I wasn't going to relearning that shit, I had muscle memory at that point. And then repeat that thought process for everything single crest.
Now I'm at 80 hours of muscle memory, on the last couple bosses.

>>723452358 (OP)
Hunter by far. It's just too much fun. And I mostly used Sting Shard and Delver's Drill/Silkshot from Mount Fay or as I like to call it, the Faygun, with it.
I also enjoyed using Architect with the Faygun when I was finishing up the game.

>>723452358 (OP)
Hunter and Shaman are my favorite. Beast gets an honorable mention but I never played much with it sadly while cool, I'm gonna play more Beast on my next run.

I'm watching a jewtube video about a tool only run and I just learnt that you can taunt enemies. What the fuck.

>>723452358 (OP)
Reaper. I love the running slash so much

crests are easily the most boring addition to the formula. I've quit the game twice due to boredom. not even cheats can improve the dog shit pacing. Team Cherry somehow couldn't even make another 7/10 like HK1 with six years of effort and almost ten years of experience.

>>723462745
Wanderer's reach is longer than Hunter's actually, it's an optic illusion that many people bought into lmao
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9vvZ0yf2R0

>>723452358 (OP)
Dunno about favorite but I never changed from beast after getting it.

>>723470509
It's not even an illusion, you can clearly see the attack is about the same length horizontally. You don't even need hitboxes for it.

>>723471569
>Wanderer is actually a sliver longer
What the fuck

>want to use Hunter
>if I ever invest a single memory locket into Hunter, I'm delaying the Eva upgrades which impact Hunter most
T-thanks...

>>723471893
Yeah but when you're good with Hunter you general do dash attack into pogo, both of which have better range than Wanderer. Or you Clawline into pogo. You don't use your regular attack with Hunter that much. Mashing your regular attack is mostly just a Wanderer/Beast thing.
I do think it's weird that Wanderer isn't actually shorter but at this point it doesn't really matter.
