[@TheHatefulHarlequin]

Scythe does slash damage when you hit witht he blade part. If you hit with the handle it does strike...cause that actually makes sense, good job From

[@jynxed66six54]

now lets remember they also made the blade hitbox useless... and back stabs should be thrust with a scythe, since it just gets stabbed through. and that poise still doesnt work

[@Mike23443]

the idea that you can "stab through" with a scythe is fucking retarded. It looks so dumb. Why couldn't they give them some cool animation like you slash their throat from behind or something.

[@emilhappy5696]

except you don't backstab them with the pointy end of the scythe, you kinda just... mash the stick/hilt through their back. xD That would be neat Mike234 but that move is reserved for Sister Friede :). But I would love if they made scythes backstabs like you said, and Whip backstabs a strangle animation :) claws should rip em apart... I got a lot of Gore(y) ideas for finishers/backstabs/riposts :D

[@jynxed66six54]

Emil Happy the blade goes through though. wouldnt that whole thing just rip the person apart? what a badly done animation, its likely the worst in the game tbh

[@TheRisingZenith]

Dark Souls 2 did give scythes proper backstab animations, they just chose not to use them

Luxra By the end if this video you'll have all the crabs you ever needed

[@SaltedMallows]

Limit Breakers LIES the video says crabs are mostly strike damage but the water us physical

[@prop0042]

The scythe does different damage types depending on what part of it hits. If the blade hits, it does slash damage, but if any other part of it hits, it does strike. You can test this against the skeletons; if you're closer, you'll do a lot more damage, but if you're spaced just right, it does slash, and therefore much less.

[@LimitBreakers]

Big, if true. I gotta go retest this.

[@fangerzstanky]

Limit Breakers tell me your findings im too curious

[@Ellemental]

It would if this was dark souls 2, but dark souls 3 doesn't have the 'sweet spot' system of 2 and went back to the ds1 setup on polearms, spears, and scythes.

[@arcadius2569]

So if you backstab from further away does it do slash too???????

[@pancakerzzz]

I think EpicNameBro figured that stuff out back in Dark Souls 1. Not necessarily the damage type, but that damage output depends on which part of the weapon you hit the enemy, and which part of the attack animation.

[@Zerum69]

I think I finally figured it out after a over a year, testing and learning about game design Lava damage is of course fire only But it has a automatic damage boost to keep up with your absorption value, so that you can't just stack a truck of absorption and walk in lava forever Iron flesh worked because it not only gives you absorption but also it gives you a flat hidden damage resistance bonus to all damage, this is so that it's slightly harder to get oneshoted by the negative lighting absorption it gives you The secret is, once you reach 100% absorption even if the hypothetical lava AR is boosted by a infinite amount to keep up you're still absorbing 100% of it If you lower your absorption to 99% thought, you should take the damage as normal since it got boosted to the point that 1% of it is equal 100% of it when you have 0% absorption

[@MrTalithan]

Then how are you supposed to get da loot without biting the dust if getting 100% isnt naturally possible? :(

[@shodahollow4021]

[@GayFroge]

That's actually really interesting. If I had to guess, I'd bet that they separate "physical" from the other three physical types so that they can separately balance PVP and PVE. And perhaps the inconsistency of backstab type damage is because they wanted a way to balance the damage of backstabs without nerfing the weapon's damage overall?

[@burningknight7]

3 years late but that's probably it .. good hunch

[@Hura_the_Blessed]

What about demonscar damage it had only fire damage but deals slash damage wich is impossible since it only deals fire damage *how*

[@Hura_the_Blessed]

Seeing limit liked it wil he test that useless data out?

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

If I had to guess, every weapon has to have some kind of physical damage assignment to keep it from breaking, even if it deals 0 physical damage.

[@JedBullet]

Tim Herdendorf he had a lot to say this video. Imagine how long it would be if he had to get all that across in Text to Speech. The old man voice is entertaining, but I understand why he just wants to talk sometimes. It seems like a lot of testing had to go into this video so I appreciate it.

[@timherdendorf]

Hildebrand good point. I'm sure he gets tired of doing all the editing, and I'm glad we got some more data

[@abysschef5078]

Tim Herdendorf memey and moist

[@sanfransiscon]

This is actually pretty useful information to keep in mind for wearing armor. I do wish that Physical wasn't its own type and was just spread across Strike, Slash, and Thrust. Pretty much every attack imaginable can be put into one of those. EDIT: Also if the Scythe does Strike damage on its normal attacks, that makes it not only a weapon type designed to bypass shields, but also a more effective on armored enemies.

[@LimitBreakers]

Correct. Also if I remember right, for the normal scythe it is only the WEAPON ART that does slash.

[@user-pf8hs7nv6z]

What about axes and swords (excluding curved ones)? They're obviously not slashing or anything, they're hacking/chopping.

[@sanfransiscon]

@@user-pf8hs7nv6z As of now I think it'd be easier to rename them as Cut, Strike, and Pierce. Axes would likely be under Strike or Pierce, while pretty much any (non-primarily-thrusting) sword would be under Cut.

[@-v0n-]

Does hornet ring, that change animation of backstab, can also change damage type of a backstab? Like a weapon deal physical on backstab but with hornet ring in becomes strike, or something like that. And so: Is there a weapon in the game that can deal all kind of physical type damages?

[@christianz2934]

You’ve been visited by lava corpse man! High fire defense and Charcoally goodness will come to you!

I always thought physical was just a general damage reduction that was used to reduce damage taken first and then afterwards strike, thrust or slash did a second damage reduction. Guess now we know that those are are almost completely useless...

did the scythe deal strike when it didnt hit the 'sweetspot'?

that was the question I was wondering. since friede's scythe doesn't seem to have a sweet spot, it dealt it's slashing properly, but the other scythes would just be hitting with the blunt weapon handles, meaning the strike would make sense

[@yellow4633]

It does Dark damage, but it ignores dark defense and scales with the target's HP.

[@oranweaver3033]

Negative, mercury used to be flat damage but was buffed in a patch. It's now based on the HP of an enemy. The reason it can kill things is because it hits many, many times. If I do 1% of an enemy's health 1000 times, I can definitely kill that enemy.

[@tasin2776]

Just realised they changed the name to pestilent mist now

[@kevinbeteta1737]

Wait so does absorption heal? I forgot by the end of the video

[@Magmafire999]

Flat damage reduction is done first, then absorption reduces damage by a percentage, in really really short terms. Thus, 50 absorption is 50% damage reduction, 100 is 100% damage reduction. However, the actual math ingame is stupid messy because FromSoft. Yeah.
