Ok sure

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the vid :)

Thanks! I'm glad you like the vid and build :) and you're absolutely right, using different talismans can change the prefered damage type you do. I swap a lot between different talismans with this build, allowing for very different playstyles which is what makes the build so much fun imo.

It's here, together with share code: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqrQdY2ldpKkfMksi=KPFAd9cR3WxHgigD

So true! INT/FTH is a lot of fun! The possibilities it gives you are endless!

I would probably put some points in STR so I'd have access to some colossal weapons and add some to FTH to be able to use more spells (like Golden Vow for instance). Also some more END and/or MND never really hurt of course. Edit: The build is explained in more detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a33dmmWggc1lntE maybe that helps a bit too ;)

True, but still ot's a very fun build. I like to use the frame amd mix up the weapons a bit. I've got different set ups that are less meta on my channel if you're interested, such as a lightweight brawler for instance.

Thanks! Glad you like the vid :) That sounds like a very nasty build! I gotta try that. Currently playing Elden Ring DLC, but I'm eager to jump back into the NEST again. I'll give this a go next time!

Maybe because of the basho arms? They got very good overall stats.

I did something similar, but instead of the vertical missiles I got the six cell regular ones I think. It's really good! The Majestic is one of my absolute favorite weapons!

Ehhh.. well that's the base setup I use, yeah. The idea is every setup is slightly different / uses different weapons with the same frame. Just to mix things up a bit.

It's Basho ;)

Glad you like it! :)

A VERY worthy opponent!

Lol, I was yelling just as loud. That was not an easy match to win lol

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

Tanks are really scary to play against as a lightweight. I like to play as a tank occasionally, but overall I like my ACs to be fast and light. The zippier the better, lol

Is it like a bug or an intended feature that it still hits through pulse armor? Because that's borderline broken

@@spacecowboy5486 Intended since its a dot effect. Stun guns do the same. The elec damage goes through if you hit before the armor finishes.

Well.. LWs sure aren't the easiest way to play, but they definitely are the most fun imo!

Agreed! I tend to lean towards a more midweighty around 320-350 boost speed builds. But I love zipping around.

:)

Lol, yeah I didn't really stand a chance

Sry.. I should've put a warning for sudden feelings of nostalgia in there lol

NP Glad you liked it :)

You're right, yeah The more experienced players will definitely know how to counter and keep their cool. Thanks btw! The build itself does require very little skill, but it's fun to just push-push-push them into their "I'm feeling uncomfortable" zone, lol

Missed opportunity.. smh

Yeah, I 100% agree. But it can be fun to play nasty sometimes. Gets real stale real quick tho.

Thanks! :)

They really surprised me in a good way! I mainly used them to keep the weight low, but like you said they hit much more than I would expect. They are more of a tactical weapon than a true heavy hitter tho, and they can't be really used to punish at all (I like most of my weapons to be multifunctional, meaning being able to put pressure on my opponent and punish if needed..). Also it might be that other players are unfamiliar with using them because they are rarely used, and if they would be used more people would learn how to counter them rather quickly, because right now they really miss a bit of.. sharpness. Even a small buff could fix this I think.

@@Etrulz some weapons, mainly RANSETSU RF, ETSUJIN, and the high reload speed missiles, take advantage of stagger not in an opportunistic way like the JVLN Alpha, but rather like the ever looming threat that just happens to be headed towards you when you get staggered. You can't plan the "punish" the same way as you can with bursty weapons, but you can take advantage of it by virtue of them frequently having ordinance in play.

I'm sorry bro but those things are one of the most braindead weapons in the game, they are borderline broken and I wouldn't be surprised if they are bugged

They absolutely are MEAN. I really like them, even though they feel a bit busted at times and not 100% reliable.. as far as laser cannons go they are my favorites tho.

Thanks! You're totally right, it does look a lot like that attack. It's been a while since I've done invasions with this build.. should pick it up again with the DLC coming up tho :)

You're completely right, the coral moonlight is the weakest weapon out of the four, but it looks so damn cool! lol I really like the majestic. I've been running it for so long now I can just guess when it's ready to fire and I know whether I will hit or miss even before I've pulled the trigger lol. Using it became second nature. I'll switch the blade for a different weapon and see what I can come up with. Another rifle would greatly extend it's kiting abilities which, although being a boring playstyle, can make the build a lot stronger overall..

@@Etrulz ah well, 10/10 man, rule of cool is always the best one, if that was part of the decision to pick the coral blade nothing to say! Yeah i rifle also seems nice!

Thanks you :)

Sure! No problem. Is there any build you're interested in? Because there are multiple showcased in this vid. Some of them can be found too on my channel btw. Normally I do one build per vid and show the build at the start of the video, so you may find what you need on my channel too :)

@Etrulz I've been trying to figure out an ideal setup for quick EN regen. I'll definitely be doing a deep dive on your channel 👍

They are just so damn ATTRACTIVE!

Although I don't really mind the way they look, I absolutely agree that there should be less of a gap. This is also in part due to the strength of the Ocellus tbh, but indeed for a melee build it feels weird to choose anything else than the Bashos. Maybe there will be another update somewhere in the near future. I sure hope so..

@@Etrulz I think maybe we didn't get a balance change due to the whole Elden Ring dlc. People are forgetting that ER is their cash cow. They've probably got everyone working double time on that game.

@@Etrulz I guess I could be nicer to the BASHO arms. What I should say is that they completely ruin the aesthetic of my NACHT/ALBA light. They make my AC look like a gorilla or pinhead from Puppet Masters.

Drip gang does not approve of Basho

:)

True! I was still learning what the best tactic would be with this build. I tend to experiment a lot to see what works and what doesn't, this one was a lot of fun, but the Truenos always feel like they hold back my build a bit whenever I use them. Maybe I jist don't really know how to use them properly lol

You are 100% right. Any build should try to emphasize it's own strengths while exploiting their oppponents weaknesses. Pure kites just have very few real weaknesses I think. I do prefer more versatile builds tho, so you can mix stuff up and/or counter your opponents build in the best way possible. One trick builds (kites, dual zimms etc.) quickly become tedious to use after a couple of matches imo. The build variety in Rank A is pretty good now tho, it's very nice to see people using all kind of different builds!

I was actually here to say exactly (nearly) what's put down here. But also *who was* that LOCKSMITH man. It's a solid build, but showing up online with a stock frame is a bold damn choice. I dig that.

That locksmith guy was a very good player. So good I still remember his name lol. Really had trouble with beating him, very, VERY good fights. Don't know who he is or if he posts his vids somewhere tho, would love to find out.

Let's Go! This is my first blind playthrough in which I decided not to re-do any missions upon failure.. I don't think I'm gonna make it tbh lol

I understand This is ome of my bs-builds, not my main build lol

Yeah, I understand. I'm very happy in Rank A atm, there's a nice variety of builds and you still encounter the occasional meta which can be fun from time to time, but it's not as bad as Rank S where it's mainly meta with very rarely a more creative build.

I encounter so many meta builds in PlayStation.A ranked. It's not even funny it just every one backpedling and not actually engaging in combat

It's why I like watching college games and not pro football. Those guys *want it* they aren't just comfortable getting paid. Same with Meta in online gaming.

​@@TheSimpleMan454this is a very good analogy. It's just more fun to watch and compete in below meta leagues.
