the GOAT strikes once again. that finisher with 4 perfect dodges into rock solid into thrust heavy attack was just perfect. i think rock solid is quite underrated, i am thinking of doing my next playthrough with it

[@visic1]

Thank you for the kind words

[@hitoyoshizofa]

I don't know why everybody uses cloud step. Rock solid is one of the best tools in the game for me. It's basically an easy perfect block that staggers opponents and uses so little mana

[@rayleigh4002]

@@hitoyoshizofa rock solid becomes amazing once you get the right build for it. on it's own it is kinda mid. also cloud step is just so much more convenient. you can comfortably get away from your enemy, catch a breather, drink your gourd/medicine, summon your clones or use your fan or whatever. and then also finish with a surprise attack that usually staggers

[@nguyendq1]

@@hitoyoshizofacloud step is more beginners friendly because they still have to figure out the controls. And its versatility makes it an easy choice. In new cycles rock solid is more interesting, because of the game knowledge you can stay close to the boss and hammer them down.

Cloud step into a 10s circle run with pilgrim set into immobilize into loong balm sip into headbutt for 17k damage Never gets old to me. But agreed, it's kind of a noob trap.

I like how rock solid pairs so well with thrust stance, you can instantly thrust after a successful parry and whirl to engage immediately. Such bread and butter combo.

Great video... VERY impressive!!! One quick question. What skill tree tree option(s), curio(s), etc. are you using to keep your mana so full, and how are you able to regenerate Qi so quickly to keep using the transformation as quickly?

@@youthfulspirit_ thank you! The mana regen of rock solid comes from its last talent and one relic. If you maxed out both it gives you full mana refund if you have successfully parried. Curios are all damage + amber beads for more focus. Non-able has very low Qi requirement so inherently it comes back very fast if you keep attacking the boss.
