    Pretty sure like 80% of people steamrolled their first playthrough with greatscissors. Greatswords in this game are absolutely nuts, only thing stronger is magic.

      From the things I have heard you are correct. Seems to be the definitive easy mode for most people. Which I can agree with for sure lol

      Gonna be real I never touched a greatsword. Then again I’m often a sucker for guns and magic so I almost always throw my stats everywhere but the melee weapons

      I played my first play through with a greatsword.
      Lol, I remember reaching the witch and only then realizing I can turn my greatsword into another greatsword. (Transmutation?)
      Haven't played in a while. And man, the light classes look so interesting with the extra movement abilities.

      I would honestly be surprised if most people who played the game even figured out how to get the great scissors on the first playthrough.

    a possibly late pronunciation guide! "kureimoa" is a romanization of the japanese クレイモア, which is the Japanized version of the English Claymore! no idea why they did this for the name, but it's funny. Japanese is phonetic, so it's simply pronounced "koo-reh-ee-moh-ah". this has been your japanese lesson of the day.

    One run that I did, but didn't complete, was "starting gear only". You can use charms and rings and also are free to upgrade your gear, but no unequiping and you gotta do it with every class.

    One of my favorite games. If you're ever into doing a salt and sacrifice run, I've had the urge to try a speed run in that game doing coop. (Mainly cause coop is x2 more fun). We can even invite players to invade us!

    • @SheenShots

      Yes. My plan is to run though with every weapon type and then move on to the sequel. I have quite a few to get through still with magic as well. And I will definitely keep that in mind. Sounds like a perfect time to finally pull out the shield.

  • @CringeRat
    @CringeRat 4 місяці тому

    Fun fact, "Kureimoa" -- or 「クレイモア」 if you speak anime -- is just a transliteration of "Claymore" into katakana (one of the Japanese alphabets). It's literally just a Claymore 😂
    Another fun fact: not 100% sure if this is still the case, but greatscissors were the go-to in S&S speedrunning last I checked, as their damage output is indeed ludicrous.
    Anyway, great video! Certainly a _cut_ above. Fun to watch bosses get _folded._
    _Scissor pun._

    • @CringeRat

      (Technically it could be written in either kana, or even kanji if you wanna be crazy about it, but katakana's what's used most often for transliterating words in other languages)

    2:08 I kinda think you got robbed with that failed dodge-roll. It really doesn't look like you timed it wrong.
    And 7:15 ideally if you're heavy, you're running a tower shield and don't need to dodge.

  • @robertsylvan6005
    @robertsylvan6005 5 місяців тому

    Hold up! Im confused about 2 things.
    1, what do you mean about chef have 3 points to work with?
    2, how do you Quick roll with so much gear? (Below 25%)
    Good and fun video as always

    • @SheenShots
      @SheenShots  5 місяців тому +1

      I think I was trying to say free points. Probably sounded like 3 so that's my bad. Chef as a class just doesn't start with any points allocated. While the knight, which does have a sword class one stat, also has heavy armor class 1 which I did not want to use. So chef let me avoid an unnecessary wasted point.
      As for quick roll, there are two things. Number 1 is light armor weights FAR less than heavy. Number 2 leveling into armor nodes increases your endurance as well. Then you can throw a point or two into endurance here and there to keep you fast rolling. Also Wrapped Link is a must for fast rolling. Honestly, it's just a top-notch ring on its own. Hopefully that helps!

    Why do you level a single node multiple times instead of going down the tree? Is it more cost effective?

    • @SheenShots
      @SheenShots  5 місяців тому +1

      Typically each side of the skill tree extends pretty far out. If a branch has lots of other nodes I don't need like stamina, endurance, or
      weapon class increases I stick to maxing the front nodes as much as possible. Basically if you use magic you want the entire stretched out branch. But if you use a magic weapon you only need the front nodes. Either way works really but that's how I decide.
