GODFALL | Combat Guide, Tips & Tricks - Breach, Polarity & More Explained

[@Viktoria_Thaelin]

One thing about weapon timing attacks, you cannot have even the slightest directional input or the spark will not fire and you will not be able to do timed attacks.

[@IGNAlPhAfIgHtA2]

You play on ps4/ps5?

[@MrBaritone]

Favorite weapon for sure is dual blades, and warhammer has been great too.

[@OsirisSixx]

Agreed. Both go so well together!

[@clawdio1395]

Same stormflayers with time bubble war hammer for sure

[@i_am_dusky113]

This game had me at war hammer…so fucking great

[@Rustmonger]

Thank you. There were a few things I was unsure how they worked and you explained it all perfectly.

[@brandonadams6369]

Thank you for this video, I was having trouble understanding how to get weakpoint and deathblow kills for bonus objectives. This broke down the various aspects with highlighting and visual representations. This was incredible. Thank you so much!

[@Ozymandias_SofaBear]

I've been following you since MHW. And now, I find you here too!

[@WEDZGAMING]

One of the best beginner guides I've seen so far, good stuff Arekkz!

[@Speeff]

Please do a video talking about the different ailments! What they do, how the damage is calculated, etc. Loving the Godfall content!

[@sirreginalddoc3117]

The ailments don't really do anything sadly....they are all just DoT and the chip damage is tiny.

[@killbill71]

Great video! I only started playing Godfall a few days ago (I’ve only had my PS5 about a month) but so far I’m enjoying the hell out of Godfall.

[@lamaboy2878]

Did not expect the combat to have this many mechanics. Look forward playing it!

[@ayyayyron1]

I love this, my favourite weapon so far is the warhammer! You can do soo much damage with it! Cheers for this Arekkz

[@bobf6259]

Thank you. You’ve explained this a lot better then the game. Fav weapon right now would be the hammer 🔨

[@PurpleBadger331]

I'm pretty excited between this and Outriders.

Same, these r literally the only 2 games I want for my ps5.

[@ALPHAX336]

[@abdullahnaeem7275]

@@CameronBaileyQuote The first time i saw that game I am just hoping that it doesn't make the same mistake made by destiny 1&2 as well as division 1. I love looter shooters and godfall's combat is just so good for me damn

[@Cipher_X_x]

Great content as always. Loving the combat system and learning builds. Exceeded my hopes and glad it’s my launch game 🤘

[@juniorv2441]

Thank you for this! Helped me out a ton. I started with the longsword and the hammer. Now I'm level 22 and I switched to the polearm and the greatsword. Loving the game so far!

[@opgam3r482]

That was an excellent straits forward breakdown.

[@ZStarShadow]

Dual blades have been killing it for me. And I thought I wouldn’t like war hammers but man they are way better than I expected!

[@Rogdizzle]

Great video! Helps a lot and now that I understand the combat a little more, it’s way more fun! 👏

[@WingNutZ100]

Awesome content! Just wanted to say, you can dodge during the Weapon Timing and still proc the timing attack. (Unique uses)

[@rorymanley6696]

Can wait to play Godfall! I’m gonna try to master the Greatsword

[@Mori.Garage]

there's nothing to master in this game, you just mash light/heavy attacks and occasionally use some of the skills he talked about in the video.

[@Aspengc879]

@@Mori.Garage mashing is not optimal. some of the comboes require timing on the presses and just mashing gets you animation locked into a combo, leading to a quick death on hard mode.

[@imaginepigeons792]

@@Mori.Garage Sounds like someone who has only watched bad reviews of the game or only played the early game. Although has has a point that can't master a single weapon. Each weapon has their own nuance, but once you get down one, you can use them all. It's just a matter of preference :)

[@rebel6176]

What r u gonna master? There is 2 mash sequences..... The game is terrible

[@HotRefuse]

I'll grab this game if it goes on sale. Not worth 70 dollars.

[@spiritualsoul2711]

Bro...I mean no crap. First of all what game is worth 70? Second full price purchases should only be if you love the devs and the game. Or if it's a masterpiece in some way, shape or form. We aren't going to sit here and say Godfall is more justified than demon souls a complete game with pvp. Godfall still has an expansion coming. There's nothing wrong with it not being worth 70$.

[@Finurah]

Thank you for your video Arekkz. One thing that came to my mind is that Polarity Attacks can also be targeted on a weakpoint.

[@bacon098]

Damn arekkz you have videos on every game I play or get into

[@noelgarcia5525]

Great video, man you explained it well that now I understand on how everything works lol 💪🏾😎 amazing game.

[@Geezerachi]

Really great help. Thanks so much!

[@ragingsilver]

Finally! I understand all these methods of attacking.

[@Cha_Koibito]

Thx mate, now i can use all of it!

[@jgojiz]

Very clear, and useful

[@roelaguillon1440]

Been waiting for this game!!! Looks beautiful, gotta get a ps5 first, I've had many failed attempts to get a ps5, hopefully soon

[@netia2]

Same, I pre ordered this n knowing I own this game n cant play cuz I have no console is depressing to say the least. Hopefully I can snag 1 during black friday

[@streven1331]

Best of luck. Hopefully Sony will be able to keep getting lots more inventory out there.

[@simplebryll123]

I'm building mine with Rampage+crit change and damage using dual blades, it's really satisfying

[@jacielgraves9266]

Add weapon executions to all weapons and it would be cool if we could customize the color of the plates

[@jakeintini175]

Some of the plates have a different color under the customization tab in the inventory menu

[@Hobbitude]

Great video! So much info in here that should have been in a tutorial or something in-game... Please, could you make a video about Shield Prime or if you have any practical infos to share about it? Thank Arekkz! Btw, something that is not mentioned in this video: - There's a move called Leaping Shield Bash which is mentioned in the skill tree (lvl1 of the "Breach" node). To do that move, you need to sprint in direction of a target and then press the heavy attack button and you will leap with your shield to hit the enemy's face ;) (it's also described as a written tip during loading screen, but it took me a while to figure out what was exactly this Leaping Shield Bash from the Breach skill...) - If you do the same but with the light attack button instead, it makes another special move and I believe it's called Fury Attack (iirc).

[@spicoli2801]

Game is really fun, but... WHY NO MATCHMAKING

[@bolzhammer9603]

without matchmaking its allready dead :(

[@nubitynub1757]

Its coming.

[@c2dholla]

Its confirmed to be coming. This game is no longer a premium game, it is a gaas 2 days in. Lolz great game good news it was

[@spiritualsoul2711]

Even tho people are calling it anthem which isn't true. People will be coming back to check on the game in the future once the 2nd expansion drops. Last time I checked Anthem was such a mess it came out and nobody gave 1 crap about it afterwards disproving it's anything like anthem. That's what I did lol since I knew that wasn't worth any money. Godfall tho I plan to get when the expansion is live and I'm still excited for the game. There are flaws which I hope they change

[@Dominik21926]

Without matchmaking i will play this like demons souls on steroids. But i think that they will add matchmaking down the road. Or at least i hope so

[@amit5538]

Really like this game, I enjoy the combat mechanics. It has a lot of potential, getting vibes of Destiny 2 in its early stages hopefully they'll take this forward in the right way

[@xanderarman7729]

Love the video, it would be cool if you make a video explaining what every ailment actually do

[@kekoroto]

I'm kind of a basic guy, but I am loving the long sword. It hits fast and the weapon techniques are awesome

[@passionfruitgaming8577]

Another amazing guide 🙌

[@Perfectionado]

FINALLY. Ive been Googling this whole time how to do weakpoints and deathblows and I found nothing. I knew about dodging and thought I had to have them locked on. I had no idea there was even a 'reticle' there and I would never of thought of 'aiming' it. This would have been great to explain in the game. Wish there was a proper dark souls risposte move/weapon. Really wanted a high risk/reward plate like 25% extra damage in exchange for 50% more damage taken. Something like that. Too many copy pastes (fire, shock, air, poison ectect) Literally picked weakpoints up in 30 seconds thanks to you. Now Im one hitting the training dummy with charged hammer heavies LMAO the game just opened UP

[@Paladinbaroque]

Cheers for the video bub :3 - enjoying greatsword and hammer the most together I think xD

[@karlmainprize9226]

Legend thanks dude!! Super helpful.

[@AXIOM_H]

Longswords are my fav so far

[@scottwoodtraining]

This is going to take a few watches to get down. Combat is way more complex than expected, in a good way! Thanks Arekkz.

[@Genashi1991]

This should have been a part of the tutorial! I'm a bit late but thanks for the info anyway.

[@derekdrozdzak]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

i'm gonna probably wait a bit for this one. No rush to get the game but looks really solid.

[@thefantom2533]

I'm loving the hammer so far!

[@edwardtrowers6403]

Thank you Arekkz. I have the same trouble with this as Monster Hunter World, wondering which weapon to master first. Also rampage is not indicated by the red meter at the bottom, that actually symbolizes 'in combat'. Rampage is active @6:34, the weapon attack have trailing arcs in the air when attacking, before that the effects were not present.

[@spacejim12]

I should say, the more I play Godfall, the more I like it. I really see good job devs did with loot and combat systems. Sad, that game got a lot of negative comments just because Gearbox advertised it as next get title and EGS exclusive.

Nice. Played some. But didnt finish it so needed to refresh the "tutorial"

Thank you!

[@Drc21]

I'd love to see a video detailing the valor plates more. They don't feel that different to play, but i only just started so wondering how significant the choice is as you get into late game. Also all the shield abilities are tied to one single bar. Is there anything that improves that? feels super bad having 3-4 diff shield skills all sharing 1 cd...

[@muhls]

Hammer and greatsword arre my favorite so far. Combat is really fun!

[@Vermazing]

@Arekkz I've been using siphon on breached enemies and it does a decent amount of damage still testing it against bosses but you can see some good damage numbers on the training dummies

Great video man thanks. Look forward to receive my PS5 to play this game...

[@Cloudcrof7]

How About the end Game ? im Curious about that :)

[@JediMentat]

This just changed my preconceptions big time. I was worried combat would be bland. Pretty but bland. This is way deeper than even the last GoW, and that was pretty deep

[@davidpitre5364]

Ok gonna tell you right now that’s not true I’ve put a good amount of hours into the game got all the moves he mentioned(timing,shield throws ect) and it’s not more in depth than GoW combat is definitely fun specially the later you get in the game tho will say it feels underwhelming until you got some build synergy going on

Man god fall is so dope, this game is all about combat, and style without, being a Live service bull shit game.

[@OsirisSixx]

So just curious, what's so bad about live service in your point of view? I hear good and bad things so I'm not sure what would be bad about it tbh

[@prestonwingate7836]

@@OsirisSixx I’m not saying they all bad destiny is a great game, but overall if you look at live service games, it’s the company’s that ruins them. It’s like they have no clue what the consumer wants. Even when we voice our concerns on community threads. For instance Anthem that game had so much potential, but was nothing but let down promises, and eventually bombed. All BioWare had to do is look at the out cry from destiny community, all the transformation it went through, and look at destiny 2 a hella of a game. With a tremendous amount of content. Even more recent, Marvel avengers. Crystal dynamics, and square, had destiny as a template, Anthem, and Division as examples to see what not to do. They still bombed, and that game was in development for a long time. They still got it wrong, and had a shit ton of material, and lore to bring to table. So I feel it’s more so the developers, and not the game itself.

[@OsirisSixx]

@@prestonwingate7836 ah I see. Great informative reply man appreciate it! Yes I agree about anthem while I did enjoy it, it really did feel like a lot was missing unfortunately.

[@robertschiffer4404]

Great video. This game is fantastic. The game play and combat is so satisfying. This video definitely helped me learn some of the different mechanics and how they work. Especially weak point hits. I think the game needs to do a better job explaining these mechanics as you go. Some of the skill or tutorial screens are lacking.

Have you found that breach and soul shatter are any better or worse depending on weapon class? For example, are slower, harder hitting weapons better at breaching, and faster weapons better at soul shatter? Is is there no real discernible difference?

Is there a way to check the map in-game apart from the seventh sanctum?

[@slickperspective]

Love the game so far. It's so thunderous & has arsenal of skills and moves. But I'm beginning to feel repetitive after hours playing it.

[@khirgil]

I felt that repetitiveness dig in after a few hours too, but then I decided to switch up the gameplay. I switched to a fully shield based build and depended on archon fury for burst damage, and it revitalized the game. Then I tried a build focused on polarity and used two dual blades with an emphasis on crit chance/damage, and then I found an awesome charm that weakened enemies when I hit them when they're cursed and made a curse build with a long sword/hammer. The game doesn't have to feel repetitive - at least there are mechanics that ward that off for a while longer.

[@khirgil]

Speaking of "curse" that does remind me of one complaint that I do have of the game. All the debuffs you can apply are the same mechanic. I don't understand why they did that beyond just atomizing an aspect of the game. It seems to me the only reason I'd switch to a different element is to create a synergy with some item's primary aspect - which feels arbitrary to me; it's the same flavor with a different name, and I'm fed bread crumbs to switch between things which are effectively the same, but have frivolous differences that keep them separated. Aside for that, the weapon styles, and skills, do keep the game interesting for a much longer period of time then what I've seen with other games.

[@lidofzejar]

@@khirgil Every debuff does dot, and as you said, it's the item that makes the difference when it plays off specific dots. I'd recommend getting toward level 30+ towers, if you're not already there, as you start getting unique and total goober gear that's straight bonkers. Thanks to towers I now run a flame soul shatter support shaman that, when he burns people, causes nukes that summon suicidal jojo stands that run to and explode on my enemies, which in turn ignite said enemies, so I can basically indefinitely summon stands.

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

Polarity is sweet shield being more then a damage sponge dope let’s fall some gods boy

[@unnero1]

So I saw mostly everyone maxing out Weapon Timing attacks, but why? I tried these attacks, expect for a VERY select few, they come out extremely slow (like 1 sec after your swing ends) the attacks themselves are slow, some give some form of mobility, but most do not, they do not have any form of invincibility frame and can easily miss. What is the advantage of landing these attacks? Simply attacking and parrying seems to be way faster, deal way more damage, and you are way more mobile then trying to land these slow animation locked attacks. The only useful thing I got from this skill tree is the breaching shield counter attack, noone of the attacks outside of that seemed remotely useful in any way. Maybe if you gear for timing attack damage they could be useful? But then again there are far more valuable stats. This isn't a rant, I am genuienly curious why people see this skill tree as useful to max out.

[@xenghuong]

Yea, I also have it unlocked but rarely ever use it. They're not worth doing and you get hit most of the time anyways
