  • looking forward to what you think of this fight and also taking suggestions on what bosses to tackle next with this build/mage gameplay
    im afraid my d-pad will soon break (spell swap to this extent will take its toll at some point lol)
    extremely fun fight, I had cleaner runs, but this felt more like a battle between mages; there was lots of back and forward spell casting in mid-range combat
    went with comet this time, feels more appropriate (messmer fight next will showcase a unique take on melee sorcery which I'm not sure if people are aware of, found an interesting way to use a spell for that boss specifically)
    all around pretty clean fight, the jump dodge didn't work which would be my only issue with this showcase; I went with lower damage than usual, wanted the fight to last longer to showcase more things, though it makes it way easier to make mistakes. I was very slightly late to jump it basically hit me from the last pixel which is unfortunate all around.
    also tried to go for back to back parries as little as possible, it makes the fight way easier and makes it also look way less like a mage battle and this isn't meant to be a parry showcase (by itself), I basically disengage from the boss instead of staying close to him to parry again after the riposte
    wanted to mainly showcase toph's barrier (can also be used to deflect the other glintblade casts, but I preferred to cast Eternal Darkness to showcase that spell)
    also went with the new sorcery sword, pretty cool; also stops the need to swap for a riposte
    should be an extremely unique type of battle, I hope it is enjoyable
    if you have any suggestions or want to tell me anything, you can comment and I will try to get back as soon and as much as possible

    Truly a 400 IQ fight. Like, you can just throw spells left and right, but using spells to counter other spells is real brainwork.

    To fully utilise all spells , manage stamina , parry , roll AND micro management of selecting spells WHILE these monsters of bosses close their gap in a second are really hard to master. Don't know why some people keep saying mage is easy mode , not to mention you need to find good openings to cast too😅

      This rapier is really useless to cast anything than non-scaling spells, stuff like magic shield, Toph's barrier or Terra Magica, any damage spell is going to do nothing.

    Seeing this kind of impressive display just makes me wish that the game had a proper spell selector rather than making you mash the d-pad. Imagine if you had a wheel and so didn't need a lot of practice to switch between this many spells.
    The idea I think about a lot is that it would be really neat if the game let you assign different spells over what would be the various moves of a given catalyst. As when fighting with a normal weapon you have a selection of different moves for different situations and that already feels a bit like how selecting spells works in some other games.

    • @Kryto_Gaming
      @Kryto_Gaming Місяць тому +5

      Hard agree. It makes no sense that the game doesn't have something as simple as a 8 directional hotkeys system, similar to how Monster Hunter World/Rise handle hotkeys on items. Those two games go above and beyond to give keyboard and mouse an alternate option to directly assign hotkeys as well. Souls games are great, but some aspects like the one button spell swap that can't even go backwards are relics of an older time.

    • @Hollow__Heart
      @Hollow__Heart 26 днів тому

      It's true that spell selection is underwhelming in these games, I just hope if they ever decide to change it, they don't ruin it for mouse and keyboard.
      Played a bit of Code Vein and its approach with "holding a button gives other buttons the function to cast skills" is probably fine with controller but it's awful on keyboard.
