Code Vein - Strength Build - Block n' Smash

Thanks to Bandai Namco for the review copy!
In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity. Wandering aimlessly in search of blood, the Lost will stop at nothing to satisfy their hunger. Team up and embark on a journey to the ends of hell to unlock your past and escape your living nightmare in CODE VEIN.
Featuring a story driven connected dungeon experience, dive into the world of CODE VEIN. Create your own character and choose your partner as you venture out into a world of destruction, overrun by the Lost. Use your combined strength to coordinate your approach and defend each other from surprise attacks or overpowered enemies using your Blood Veil and various weapons. Change the feel of the game depending on which partner you choose, each with their own combat style and background story.
Experience the power of blood as you use unique Blood Veils to drain your enemies to enhance your abilities. Using "Gifts" powered by enemy blood, players can increase their strength, weaken enemies, and utilize new weapon abilities and overpowered attacks.
Take on the Lost as you explore the malefic world of CODE VEIN. Choose from a myriad of weapons such as bayonets, axes and spears, to accommodate your favorite battle style. Apply strategy in your attacks through partnered coordination and Blood Veil enhancements, ready to bring down the most threatening enemies.

I was really glad to see you played this game after I decided to buy it. You're the biggest reason I didn't give up on Dark Souls. I was way late to the party but wanted to try DS but got stuck in undead parish and couldn't find a guide that helped until I found your 100% walkthrough. Thanks for all you do man stay cool

Try using a queenslayer build especially with final journey,tt raises all of your stats except from health but you die after a certain amount and you can't get revived and makes you a glass Canon,you do so much damage and you can have quick evade even with the heaviest weapon while doing damage but,you will die after a certain amount,not recommended for regular mobs,but bosses you should,you get fully revived after the boss dies so

I just basically ran through the rest of the game with Queen Slayer while relying on Final Journey as a last resort when I run out of regen. This build looks fun as hell, same with your mage build.

[@StukAmetal]

Got into this game late, through game Pass, so complicated, I started ng+ and thought I wasn't understanding some concept or mechanic because I kept returning to atlas, such a early blood code but it's so good it's almost cheese. Although oni blade intensification does give the argent a run for its money. Also the guard reversal is a extremely underrated ability for strength build and going 1 for 1 with an enemy the size of a mountain in a souls like where its usually jump/dodge/parry/back stab is a nice change of pace, yakumo partner gift also provides a hefty buff for it

[@theleathercandle]

Just started this game too, though I didn't pick ng+ lol. Currently running a strength build, working on developing a one handed sword dex build, as well as a dark gift build. Will probably run it a second time after I complete the game. Gonna go ng+ and/or no partner next time I think

[@StukAmetal]

[@wolfsbane7224]

I have a one handed build that has been well to me. But I want to be a beast on the battlefield like my hero Guts, and this video helped. Thank you.

[@ForeverLaxx]

The defense stats of your veil are useless if you're blocking all the time. When blocking, the game uses the defense stats of your weapon (assuming you block the hit at all). Your veil defense only matters when your body gets hit due to failing (or choosing not) to block.

[@FightinCowboy]

Still useful, there's attacks that the sword won't block and with a slow movement speed having that extra tankiness is valuable.

[@ForeverLaxx]

​@@FightinCowboy The amount of damage you took for an unblocked attack wasn't much less than what I take from a hit wearing the Venous Veil so its usefulness is pretty suspect. The bigger boon to your perceived tankiness is the larger health pool.

[@walterlaten7662]

Sorry but how do you even go for a str build I don't seem too get too choose what I level am I missing something? Still not really getting the game just beat my third boss and going too that dark pit just met these two white haired people who are into BDSM

Nice vid! This prompted me to tinker the build. I tried Prometheus + Great Sword = Balanced melee for both dodging, guarding, and doing heavy damage.

[@abunchofthighs3807]

*I have one I've been using as of late. I call it "Immortal" for good reason.* *First off the blood code "Ishtar" is an absolute must because of it's abilities.* *For passives* *Goddess Smile, so when I'm focused I get 200-500 health back depending on the dmg I take.* *Deliverance which imo is one of the BEST passives in the game when it comes to the survivability of partners or online help. If they take a fatal attack their hp is reduced to 1 and I take the rest of the dmg.* *Str/Vit cause there's 1 certain gift we need.* *For the 4th passive either use Guard Drain Rate Up to increase the use of Goddesses Smile, or Regenerative Drain to restore 200 hp per drain attack* *For gifts* *Iron Will to reduce dmg taken.* *Lightning Barrage or any of the other Barrage moves* *Finally the pillar of the build being Cleansing Light which restores a hp depending on dmg.* *Forgot weapon and veil* *Zweihander Fortified +10 for 100 defense and Silver Garb Fortified +10 for even more defense* *The way this build works simply is use I.W and C.L to reduce dmg and restore hp at the same time. Once you Focus you get extra restored hp from G.S. Deliverance helps teammates who get bodied by leaving them with 1 hp and you taking the rest of the dmg while at the same time healing. The amount of deaths you receive will drop 10 fold and you won't be so quick to use your own heals.*

Can you put up a list of which blood codes these abilities are in? Also if you're working up to GET those weapons (excluding the preorder since I didn't preorder) which greatswords are best to use instead? And where do you get those two other greatswords? I knew Yakumo's abilities would allow you to go into "YAGA!!-mode". It's a shame that I'll have to drop his spin-to-win move. It allowed me to close the distance with a decent AOE attack.

[@FightinCowboy]

Just use whatever you prefer, the base Zwei is a great sword all around. As for skills most of this build comes from Zerk/Atlas. Punisher is from Queen's Breath, Health Stim from Warrior. TBH you need every blood code to pull together most these builds. They're all designed around being played with in NG+ after an initial run as finished.

Legion punisher is exactly what the name implies. A legion punisher. It kills entire armies at a time. It also is just good as a plain punisher. It can take a full 10% of the hellfire knight’s hp in one go, so you can just use it whenever he falls over, or leaves himself vulverable.

you can use queenslayer greatsword instead of the pre-order sword, it has more damage and is still crush damage only. also you can use the argent wolf brand 2h, with 2132 attack slash/crush

what about zweihander? for 100 block :3

[@Xerathiel]

I use the Drain passive. That way you do 2 hits and do a skill. Its great if you have 3 skills so you can loop it. Also the Stun Buff / Cartridge is kinda helpful. The Impact wave is great for running around and oneshotting the normal mobs,

[@woodbutcher]

Did guard reversal get nerfed? Cause mine does not do what you're saying it does

[@WoahItsCrazyMike]

a good alteration to this setup is using the Demeter blood code (VERY slightly less stats in some areas, but 20 ichor base) and this will let you use blow of madness and flashing fang buffs then wait until guard reversal staggers the enemy and hit them with a fully charged heavy attack, and you'll just flat out erase their hp bar, it's VERY strong.

I might be a little late to the party but if you're looking for a purple Hounds-type blood veil, the Hedgehog Fort variant called "Thorn Devil" is purple.

[@kfclover811]

I’ve been using this build for most of the late game that you might like. Blood Code: Atlas Gifts: -Blow of Madness -Overdrive (or Adrenaline) -Flashing Fang (Most important buff for this build) Passives: - Two Handed Sword Mastery - Strength/Dexterity up - Vow of Ichor (or max ichor boost) Weapon: Judgement Edge Foritification. + 10 (It has a good amount of range of the attack, and it looks badass af. That being said you can do this with any greatsword) With this build, your charged heavy attack is your main source of damage. Ideally you want to active your buffs and hit the boss without getting hit yourself (Otherwise you’ll lose the overdrive buff, which is why you might want to switch it with adrenaline) If you don’t get hit and you land your charged attack you can take out a sizeable chunk of the boss’s health and you can one shot most tough enemies in the game. If you try this build of the punching bag, you should do around 14000 damage with the charge attack. I’m still trying to see if I can improve the damage even more so this is by no means a final build. I hope you like it. Edit: instead of Blow of Madness, you can use the Dragon Lunge attack to do 15000 damage

[@D00M3R_MAVS]

Hey Fighting, what's up? Been following you since DKS, used to watch all your DKS stuff back in the day. Do you rate hammers in this game? Just got it on sale on Steam, and I really like Hammers in games. I always played Dex in DKS (Great Scythe main in the first game, but I started using heavier weapons in the later games as they seemed better) I used the Hammer in Bloodborne as well (Kirkhammer I think it was called?) The hammer is also my favourite in Monster Hunter. Hoping the Hammer is good in this game, as will likely roll with that. Also.. what are the Dex builds like in this game, any good?

how about considering lost Zweihander, its quite rare and has the nasty stat

[@Eclipse4589]

What is a good aleternative to legion punisher for those who went for good ending?

[@devidbeifus7732]

that sound than ur comrade dies in this game is so disgustingly creepy

[@Mary...22-u9j]

would be better if you could co-op with a friend or online instead of having the AI following you around everywhere

[@FightinCowboy]

You can

[@Mary...22-u9j]

only in certain parts can you send a distress signal. I meant to play the whole game with and you still have to have the AI following ...no way to turn it off

[@tatonkad.9213]

[@lailcrystalbearer6637]

how can you tell wich element there weak to.

[@didiogamer1744]

i dont have the sword ure using on this video, but im doing pretty well with the Zweinhander (prob spelled wrong), and i jumped from Atlas to Isis, just cuz i like getting the defensive buff that makes u heal a portion of the dmg u take, its pretty insane how tanky u get with that, also i run bridge to glory since i have the mind requirement alongside adrenaline (its better than adrenaline) i also run the buff lengthen to keep it up for a long time and i also have the flash strike (i forgot the name but its the buff next attack gift) to buff my charged Heavy or the thrust. Its pretty strong. Even tho my favorite blood code and the one i think its the strongest in the game is QUeenslayer cuz the buff it has its absolutely broken, u trash anything in ur path with the greatest of ease.

[@gabrielchad447]

Zweihander is the best weapon in the game defensively, followed by the Broadsword

[@lailcrystalbearer6637]

why have two great swords is there a reason

[@Mystra]

Guard reversal was massively nerfed and doesn't do what you say anymore. Completely useless now

[@jackjohnson8305]
