how are you using adrenaline when this build lacks the strength to use it

[@asangheili5182]

In case some people are wondering how he uses Adrenaline on Scout, Somatic Zeal boosts Strength and Dex by one grade and allows him to use Adrenaline without a Strength passive. So with Somatic Zeal on, Scout's Strength rank goes from C+ to B, making Adrenaline available as long as Somatic is still up. Hope this helps anyone trying to make this build.

[@madmantitus6641]

Thank you!

[@awintrysky]

I was confused as a new player, however I figured out the details to this build. For all who are new to this build, I tested every combination of Scout + Queenslayer w/ Ivory Grace vs Noble Silver (+9 both), as well as some notes about Argent Poleaxe at the end. - Using Scout -> You can get Swift mobility with Alleviating Impaler with both Ivory/Noble. Noble gives more defensive stats. - Using Queenslayer -> You can ONLY get Swift mobility with A.Impaler and Ivory, meaning you will have less defensive stats if you choose Queenslayer. - Both have roughly same DPS with AA and Chariot Rush using A.Impaler, however you get to use Final Journey with Queenslayer only. - The guide infers that you should use Scout + A.Impaler + Noble when you quest normally, as Noble gives more defense and Scout gives more starting Ichor (24 vs 20). - The guide also infers that you should use Queenslayer + A.Impaler + Noble when you want to boss, as you will have Final Journey available. Conclusion: - Best overall dungeon build is Scout + A.Impaler + Noble. (You get more starting/max Ichor [24/44 vs 20/40] and nice defense stats). - If you prefer ONLY Queenslayer builds for Final Journey while you dungeon, you NEED to use Ivory Grace if you intend to use A.Implayer with Swift mobility, this means you will be squishier. - When bossing you will use Queenslayer + Noble Silver, as Final Journey gives you Swift mobility. I hope this helps all who were as confused as I was... as the guide is a little messy. If you invested in Argent Poleaxe for higher burst (like I did), then absolutely best bossing build is Queenslayer + Noble + Argent Poleaxe. - NOTE YOU WILL NEVER GET Swift mobility when using Argent Poleaxe (without Final Journey activated) , regardless of using Scout+Ivory or anything else. I tried, it's always Normal mobility. Even if you Alleviate the Poleaxe you will not reach the weight threshold.

[@hdwijaya8774]

This build maybe the most suitable for me And this reminds me BK Brent's build, as a God Eater player who doesn't want to get damage; stay full hp with stamina management; kill the boss faster Thanks & good job

[@NotAnotherLameName99]

Argent Wolf Poleaxe has an amazing moveset. The R1+square move is a vertical jumping slash that deals decent damage and almost always knocks down.

[@coolnobodycares]

Dark Knight was my build for a while after I tried out Chariot Rush. Lol Such a good perk in general.

[@antoinecoles4941]

I guess we both like using the halberd because, the Dark Knight build along with the impaler was the only build I used mainstream since I've started playing code vein. you have my like.

[@coolnobodycares]

@@antoinecoles4941 Well, now I use argent wolf blade and magic, but a bit of halberds for a while. Lol

[@roman260590]

The dmg on this is absolutely absurd + high mobility, it's amazing thanks Fextra

[@thanatostheredreaper1706]

I have a slight variant of this build that is mostly one to one with the video. The difference being that I use an Intensification-transformed Black Halberd as the “want-things-dead-quick”-weapon instead of an Argent Wolf Poleaxe.

[@Raisuru]

Also Bridge to Glory scales off of your Light Gift value, so the higher your Light Gift, the more damage you get out of the buff, choosing a Blood Veil that has high Light Gift would be ideal.

[@TLJ1025]

Prometheus halberd build was probably the funnest build i did during my playthrough. I ended up switching to a strength oni bane build because of better damage but strength/dex build with the halberd was definifely more fun. But with the blood code i used for strength build i ended up with 2400 damage with the oni bane with S+ stat scaling and also had B in mind and willpower so i was able to use mage as secondary for awesome ranged damage with spells. So i was able to have a strength/mage build without suffering any damage on my strength build. It was fantastic.

[@ctrlaltdel6440]

FEAR THE DEER!

[@xCr0nus]

Please update this. Scout was nerfed to C+ strength, and doesn't provide enough anymore for this build. Queenslayer with Ivory Grace can still reach quick with Impaler though, and works as a nice alternative.

[@Hopeful361]

Hi 2023 Here and this game is still Fun to play

[@Raisuru]

Queenslayer's Final Journey also upgrades whatever mobility you have to Quick, allowing for the use of the Swift Destruction passive. That's 50% from Final Journey and 20% from Swift Destruction already.

[@Danath121]

Loving these guides!

[@x_Avelyn_x]

I've been using the dark halberd. Gets A scaling in dex and a C in mind. I run all the drain skills and passives so 1 regular attack fills my ichor to do another weapon gift. I pretty much infinite stun lock bosses.

[@BlkSDX]

This is not explained in the video: Adrenaline requires B in STR, but Scout has only C+. What you have to do here is cast Somatic Zeal (Dark Knight) to increase the STR to B and then cast Adrenaline. You'll have to do this each time you want Adrenaline.

[@robertorusso644]

thank you for the build

[@Malacite]

The Impaler is an absolutely insane weapon. I've had it for quite a while (on my very first playthrough) but only just started using it after unlocking Dark Knight. Really wish I'd tried it sooner, the reach and stunlock potential are nutty. Stamina consumption is a bitch though.

[@kewlmyc]

Increased Gift Speed isn't independent, it's from a blood code that you can only get by getting locked out of the good ending. Feel like this video should have pointed that out. Regardless, this is an interesting build I'd be interested in in a NG+ playthrough since I went for the good ending.

[@Persesemi]

What do you mean about "getting locked out of the good ending"?

[@0Sephraim0]

@@Persesemi SPOILERS the good ending involves reviving all the successors, to get this gift in particular you have to NOT revive Emily which leads to either the neutral or bad ending. Hope this helps.

[@Kryto_Gaming]

As a polearm user this guide is just what I needed. Thanks! What's your opinion on the Assassin's Sickle? I LOVE the water charge from the Heavy Attack, but maybe Chariot Rush spamming makes it obsolete? I've been using the charge with Flash of Power or whatever it is called, but 6 Ichor an attack is a lot.

[@swingtity9798]

the assassins sickle has this weird doublehit on the first attack. this move takes a shitton of time and desls no dmg. sadly a move that many halberds share. If i can use one move that does 1.3k and another halberd does 1,4k with the first hit and 2.7k with the first 2 hits (which take the same amount of time as the one from sickle)....I will take the one without the crippled light attack. The sole reason why I don't use the sickle and everything that shares this move

[@Kryto_Gaming]

@@swingtity9798 Couldn't you get around this problem by using the other moves? Like skipping the double sweep by holding shift/combo.

[@swingtity9798]

@@Kryto_Gaming yes but the startup and recovery isnt good, not even with the dogeattack

[@Kryto_Gaming]

@@swingtity9798 A fair point. I've mainly been using it for the Charged Heavy attack. Its free dash lets me attack and move out of most enemy's counter attack range at the same time. Someone confident in their ability to go head to head doesn't need a safe but slow move and would prioritize raw dps.

[@ShikiRen]

I played through the entire game with a halberd... twice. I did just go for maximizing my dexterity though and used iron will/adrenaline/dex/str-buff as my buff skills. I really wish I had known that gift speed up also affected non-spell-type gifts...

[@Killing_Edge]

Lol I was pretty much making this build on my new character last night. Mine is a little different but the same concept. High DPS Impaler setup on queenslayer and prometheus because I'm not far enough in yet for other codes.

[@Bigalinbklyn83]

Actually played around with this build last night this and silver spellblade tie for me.

[@miuthepotato]

How about the Black Halberd, like to compare with the Impaler it does has good move set too almost like the Impaler it has better Dex and good looking too

[@savannamerino9572]

WITH THIS, MY CHARACTER WILL BE THE NEW ASSASSIN POLE DANCER. HAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[@justine2865]

Equipping Alleviation Impaler and Noble Silver doesn't make my mobility into Quick. I'm using Queenslayer blood code. Am I doing something wrong?

[@prom3607]

same thing i tried to figure out even took off my Fortification to see if that was just weighting it down to much but nope still just normal no matter what i do even checked it with Alleviating like he said to do and still was normal for me

[@dullededge1395]

your supposed to be useing scout with the impaler

[@justine2865]

@@dullededge1395 but the guide said to be able to reach quick mobility. Why would you even use alleviation impaler on scout. Quick mobility is default on scout so you don't even have to make it alleviation

[@justine2865]

@@prom3607 true what's the point of alleviation if we have to rely on scout for the quick mobility. If we're gonna go scout we can then remove the alleviation and switch to other transformation since if we're using scout we'll be quick mobility by default

[@codywalker1041]

Because on Queenslayer he's using ivory and on scout he's using noble silver

[@lordcommissar7813]

Can you make a good assassin sickle build I don't see any videos of that weapon

[@Werchiel]

I've been playing this on NG+ and it's actually pretty simmilair to the Silver Spellblade - you can just jam some barrage spells and it still works pretty well - I do play around with ice barrage a little mainly since I didn't get it on NG1 and it looks pretty good. That being said Cas - you said you like to use white vestment - but why? Even on +10 it's barely better than Noble Silver - at least looking at specific damage reduction values. Does it work differently somehow? Because from what I see ony my stat screen - GXL Defender is way better in terms of defense and your damage is still fine and you can still use all of your buffs and stuff. So is there any particular reason why you stick with white vestment?

[@cartharax4308]

I’ve been trying different things with it but I’d love to see what you can do with the red shoes buff that is specific to the fionn blood code

[@FreedomPLMarcin]

ive finished the game once already with god tier mage build. i mean, i nuked the final boss xD anyway the next playthrough will be with halberd, thank you for the build! are there any good shooter builds?

[@Fdzzaigl]

Very nice! But you don't mention the Black Halberd? It's a drop from the lost knights later in the game, has better scaling than impaler, and almost as light.

[@kaxxyn7361]

I think this build might be dated. I followed it as my source of what I strived for but I found out the passive gift that allows you to pull off gifts faster has been converted into an active ability. Not sure if this was a patch or what. Also I have yet to unlock scout but achieving the (best dodge) with a spear is virtually impossible. I'm hoping scout allows me to have it. Everything else is light, even my blood veil.

[@SentaiRangerRed1]

What is your opinon on the DLC Codes all 7 of them

[@Cashiz88]

You should do a video on all side quests. I wanted the Scout bloodcode but the NPC has disappeared from the game making this build obsolete for me. NPC keep disappearing on stage 3 even though I'm following your wiki guide online.

[@Rayendac]

Did Scout get nerfed? I have C+ strength when I equip the code, making Adrenaline unusable until I equip an appropriate passive.

[@kyle26091]

No, this guy just completely left scout out after he said it was good to run and went straight to queenslayer without giving any suggestions to active abilities that can replace adrenaline and final journey.

[@zacharyhammond3573]

Does this still work with the changes made to Final Journey?

[@OTKTamashii]

Does the Light Gift value in Blood Veils actually affect the effectiveness of buffs at all? I've experimented various Blood Veils and it gave me the same exact overall damage. Of course, I used the Alleviation Impaler for this, and used the damage increasing buffs I could fit in both Queenslayer and Scout.

[@canhnguyen-uj6ox]

Final Journey is exclusive to Queenslayer. Do you just switch to Queenslayer on bosses? if so then why use Scout at all it's inferior in every stat aside from starting Ichor.

[@Castielle101]

Scout actually puts out more damage than Queenslayer with the Impaler when not using Final Journey. So it's best to use Scout and then swap to Queenslayer for bosses. Queenslayer will outperform any Blood Code on Bosses, not matter the build you make, so it's always best to swap there.

[@soulechelon2643]

Because Scout has higher scaling. The only reason to use Queenslayer over Scout during boss battles is Final Journey. As its name suggests, this buff eventually kills you. So it's only best used either against bosses or in a very sticky situation where you know you can get to a mistle quickly.
