Use spare resources to upgrade this sword at least once to go from 'Guard break rate' (damage reduction % in guard position) at 80% to 90%. When you meet attacks that you can't dodge (I won't spoil, but I'm thinking of a very colorful attack), switch to the Defender's Broadsword and hold guard. Still, holy is useful in the area you get the Straight Sword and the arguably hardest boss in 0.54 takes extra damage from holy.ĭefender's Broadsword is a mandatory side arm. Plus, the attributes of holy and dark are just very low. Don't go ascension reinforcement path to get the Corrupted Crusader's Straight Sword, because that just gives 1.1x STR and 1.1x INT multipliers so while you could keep an STR build (no reason to do so btw STR DEX INT are only for weapon damage purposes), you're just weaker than a full INT build with the 1.2x INT multiplier on the normal holy version. However, magic is still too weak, so don't get more MP just to get this extra side ability.īuild: weapon requirement first, then same as above except go into INT. Again, it's easier to avoid being hit if you thrust, sprint out of range, thrust again.Īn advantage of Crusader's Sword is that you have to switch to an INT build, which seems to help with magic. You can still long range thrust, actually, but the Th move (thrust) is the 2nd in the Straight Sword combo, so you could intentionally miss the first swing then use the 2nd move to stab over long range. Once you get here, Crusader's Straight Sword has a 4x combo, while Kris has a 3x combo, so you can have approximately 25% more dps when unleashing full combos.

Once you memorized an enemy's move set or has enough HP to afford making mistakes, you can step in close to an enemy to unleash full combos without being hit. This is because the Kris has a 1.2x STR multiplier from the start.Ĭrusader's Straight Sword (Normal) is the next and last weapon you need. Then 200 stamina, 400 HP, and the rest into more STR.

Once you're sure you can dodge well, you can step in close with Kris's full combo.īuild: get 7 STR, then enough stamina for a sprint into range, full combo, and then sprint out of range, then 300 HP. If you don't know this thing's move set well enough to dodge it, thrusting with the Kris and immediately retreating gives almost no opening to the enemy mob to exploit. It is the best weapon when fighting an enemy for the first time. Thoughts on Magic at the bottom.īone-carved Kris is the best early -> mid game weapon. Kris early-mid game, Crusader's Sword late game. Tl dr Bone-carved Kris best for initial encounters, Crusader's Straight Sword (Normal) best when you've memorized enemy attack sequences. Make a brand new stat distribution for each weapon you're using. Reset stats using Vendetta, the woman in the starting area, often.
