As someone who is terrible timing dodges, here is what i did, i bet you cant die with this build: Dark Iron Staff Wind Tamer (Grants Damage Reduction) Top Takes Bottom, Bottom Takes Top (Or any high damage spirit) Bull King's Set(best defence + tenacity) Curios: (get up to 5 by fighting the yin tiger) 2 Agate Jars moderately increases defense. 3 Gold Spikeplates each considerably increases defense. Supreme Gourd 10 uses. Jade Dew recovers 55% of max health. Soaks Goat Skull increases max health for a short duration. Iron Pellet using the gourd can no longer be interrupted and grants considerable damage reduction. Guanyin's Willow Leaf Upon resurrection in battle, recovers gourd uses.. (Use with life saving strand spell ). Red tides (or the transformation of your choice) Life saving strand revives you in battle. Cloud step for safe use of gourd and medicaments and start an atack Inmobilize for safe use of gourd and medicaments and start an atack Meds Amplification pellets increase crit hit chance. Evil repelling medicament increses damage reduction. Septenary heartfire pill resets cooldowns. Life saving pill recovers full health and removes all four banes.

[@theonetruemorty4078]

Common Wukong Armor + Dark Iron Staff + 3x Gold Spikeplate + Amber Prayer Beads + Auspicious Lantern + Weaver's Needle + Non-Able spirit is where I'm at on NG+++, all stats and celestial medicines maxed. High armor, high attack, throw in some pills if needed on a boss. A charged heavy attack coming out of cloud step is devastating.

[@PetePossum111]

Nice build and fun to play! Gr8 work

[@iDentityUS]

Thanks for the visit

[@lanoche]

Wukong's Armor with 3 Gold Spike is straight up 888 defense and you can still use your perfect dodge when needed. Bull King goes up to 831.

[@austinboyd5363]

Bull king swaps Perfect dodge for tenacity which lets you tank attacks while still getting your attacks out. Then the black iron staff gives you 5 attack per 30 defense boosting your attack to over 250 easily.

[@louisanderson226]

The bull king armour is actually misstranslated on the second perk, its not below half it above half

Thanks a lot I just beat the great sage Ng +++ I was struggling a lot hahaha this build helped me

[@oneall23]

This is the same in God of war ragnorok with the survival armor. The armor with no perks have the best stats. Soon as I watched your video I switched from the bull king armor and had a defense of almost 800 I been using it ever since to finish my 2nd ng+ run

[@geraldgossett724]

You got a sub, just the effort to make this video, plus the game. Thanks for the put up bro.

[@iDentityUS]

I appreciate it!

[@iamthestormthatisapproachi5349]

Yes I would believe you because I tested it out myself in NG+3. I used a crit build in NG+2 and it obliterated everything but in NG+3 it was struggling so I started testing stuff out and tried the bull set with wandering wight, x3 gold spikeplate, X2 agate jar, weevers needle and x3 tiger relic soaks and a fully upgraded Spellbinder along with dark iron staff... It melted everything, still was getting a lot of crits too. Just saying I noticed a massive difference, I won't be going past NG+3 though as I got my platinum trophy and am done with the game.

[@jayceboi]

King bull along with spellbinder is my fav. Build atm in the higher new game+ im a button smasher i luv that i wont be interrupted on my combos and i feel its easier to activate "see thro"(that red glow is beautiful with the extra damage ❤) For hard bosses example, erlang and sage i use resurrection pill along with "life strands " i pretty much just beat them down

[@noijih]

I think in the dlc, we'll be able to upgrade wukong's true armor

[@iDentityUS]

That would be really cool

[@kalevipoeg6916]

Not at all a fan of thrust stance (because you must stand still to charge heavies, which is a huge disadvantage IMO) but yes, from NG+++ on, you first of all NEED crazy defense because bosses hit very hard - harder each time through - and have more HP - which means you need to have more durability to survive longer unless you're able to perfectly dodge everything which, let's be honest, you WIll get hit - and IF you have, say, 4 golden spike plates, all relics unlocked, etc, you SHOUlD be able to hit 900+ defense (also, everyone, REMEMBER, meds are there for a reason - USE the damage mitigation meds, USE the attack meds, USE the meds to give you might so you can transform more - I see so many videos where people struggle so much and lose over and over and seem to 100% forget you CAN use them). Maybe it's a pride thing, I don't know, but swallow the pride and USE them. An extra 10% damage reduction is a GOOD thing. USE it. AlSO, you can raise your defense permanently further in the transformations part of the menu - I thought initially it meant that transformed FORM would get the boost, but no, it gets added to your BASE defense. Now, defense doesn't DO much in this game sadly and need a ton to do much, but hey, 900 vs 700 defense, you're looking at, on a big hit, maybe 40 or 50 less damage, so maybe 5% to 7% less of your HP bar taken, which adds up if you take 10 hits like that, AND at the same time - unlike the moon rabbit / sun crow combo - that damage reduction AlSO has the bonus of raising your attack more with the dark iron staff.

[@iDentityUS]

Wow I didn’t know that about the extra defense! Definitely gonna do that thx

[@jackwang40]

Yin yang Robe is the meta for ng+4 & above with dmg reduction build bro. Up to 80%

[@SwagEverlasting]

Thrust stance is a matter of adjusting to flow, smash is my favorite. For fun equip the tri point spear and travel to thunderclap temple for durable targets. As long as you have that stance maxed this is a great place for it since people have trouble perfect dodging the monks

[@slapit2682]

​@@jackwang40I will try this, about to finish my ng+++

[@turtle00-0]

More dodging and less charging, and you'll get better at dodging and probably get hit less 😂😂😂 but on a more serious note, you focus too much on heavy attacks that you probably neglected the varied combo and the benefits of it. Smash stance - good for close quarter combat or if youre a button masher (theres a reason why you start off with this. Its not bad but, its not a one all be all solution). Varied combo triggers resolute strike which is pretty good but weaving heavy attack after a light combo is cluncky and oftern time miss. Pillar - is good for defensive play but not as good if the enemy has range attacks. Varied combo has aoe effect (one of my favorite ) Trust - is good for mobility. 4 charge heavy is instance and the varied combo give you tactical retreat which triggers invulnerability also you have two option to choose after tactical retreat (a lot smoother game play but again, depends on the fight ) Def and dmg is great but if your combo is crap or focus too much on heavy dmg, you'll be missing out on a lot of mechanics

[@henryhoen]

You get the tenacity above half health from the bull kings armor. It's a translation error

[@318soldier52]

When I found this common armor set. I automatically used the fan and the dark staff. I got my defense up to 888 with my attack being 270+, I'm sure both can get higher I just have tried just yet. I wish the game had load-outs. Hopefully they place that in the DLC or patch

[@lanoche]

Yeah his is a lot better cause you can still perfect dodge. Bull King set disables it and I personally don't like it.

[@davidtsmith33]

Yeah it great for Defense when you have done NG+++ and have all Relic perks selected. The downside is you don't benefit from the armor perks the others have. ......BTW, you'd benefit much better in Thrust stance with the Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear: "Integrate spear techniques into Light Attack Combo and increases the Damage dealt by Thrust Stance moves. ------>Upon performing Forceful Thrust shoots swords from the staff to attack".

[@zacksmith5963]

Heyy man . Don't know if you will answer my question When we go Beyond ng+4 or ng+5 , any boss can one shot us . Is there a build that can allow defense to stop this ?

[@iDentityUS]

@@zacksmith5963 honestly, if you were to progress that far into NG+ at that point it’s all about skill & your ability to dodge then capitalize on the attack windows. So no build will help in terms of defense. But there is one piece of armor I do suggest, the grey wolf mask that amplifies your damage when the enemy is in critical health. Check this video out for more detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpzbYZl7bdGhi5Ysi=JSn_9TwC4TBWDOYi hope it helps ✌🏽💯

[@hashem2653]

Maybe you should add that this only really becomes relevant after completing your third run. Of course it works before that as well but to get its full value you need to complete the game three times with beating Erlang. I’m on my fourth run and I have 883 Defense and 302base attack. I’m using 3 agate jars and 2 gold spikeplates. I’m currently playing to get the third one from chapter three because I didn’t know I should get it again on my 2nd run

[@GhostKonContent]

Would this strat work against the final boss?

[@Gunslinger962]

you can boost the defense to 923 with spikeplates, agate jar and waterward orb but this only works if the battle is some shallow water body otherwise it's around 870

[@jonbiloff1264]

Where do you get common Wukong armour?

[@vicmacky1504]

i just wonder why you take damage from the floor instead of equipping the first vessel (i think is the red robe)

[@iDentityUS]

@@vicmacky1504 yes that’s a great idea… But remember I mentioned that I purposely put myself in a bad situation to demonstrate the dominance & formidable nature of the build

[@akoul1949]

Nice, there is a spirit that gives more defense +45 , hits harder than the wandering wight but reduces attack by 10 i think it's the top takes bottom, i need to check if the -10 damage are compensated by the 15 extra defence from the iron staff that would make it worth it

[@iDentityUS]

@@akoul1949 I saw that and actually considered it, but I just didn’t feel like it was worth losing anymore attack

[@akoul1949]

@@iDentityUS yea i agree, but if the staff conversion rate is better than the loss value that would be worth i guess I just got to chapter 3 on my 3rd playthrough so i'll try to test it with the bullset for now the tenacity while staffspinning to get 4points then on thrust stance the roll charged that goes instantly

Yeah not sure if the gains are worth the dmg loss. For me it’s -12 and +15 🤷‍♂️

Something I have not tested but I wonder - IF he's absorbing our relics, right? And you have, say, all 3 abilities unlocked for each one, does HE get gimped if we DE-ACTIVATE THEM before that part of the fight? Someone should try, parse maybe his light hit damage (since one ability increases that), parse his HP, and try again with all of the activated when you go in.

[@geraldcortez826]

Yeah it is already known but pretty useless until a late new game plus 2 if not 3 to beat the bull king one. I believe that the bull king is a must for new game plus 2 because of the difficulty that enemies increase. And of course as soon as the original Sun WuKong armor defense passes bull king set you should use it. But most players will never put in that much commentmint to use it. I am still wondering if I will beat new game plus. On the 3rd chapter right now, and my game is going slow because it just isn't that exciting. And killing everything now has become a chore rather than fun. Two new game plus competitions including the secret boss Erlang. Is really lame for a one minute WuKong stance. They really should have just kept stacking the upgrades like health and magic and increasing spirits with new power. But converting all the things I get into will is just depressing 😕 since I have 3 million or more 😔 useless. Pointless really. But every few days I play a bit maybe in a week I will finish chapter 3.
