How strong is Frostcraft with Iai Spirit Slash?

In these dead days there was nothing to do, so I wanted to test how strong was frostcraft with LS. This is the best try I got. Gameplay recorded on PC!
The answer is "not enough" btw :D

To be honest, we need more of abilities like this that basically creates a new approach to a weapon, this was way more entertaining than any other Longsword speedrun

Problem is that soeedrunners will never speedrun like this because is not optimal. If you want WR, this style is shit.

I really like frostcraft as an ability, its one of the more unique armor set abilities in world. Also love how it has this interaction with longsword, kinda wish though it didn't degrade with hits, and more with damage dealt. I feel it drains too fast with faster weapons, and you get very little from it compared to harder hitting weapons....eh, maybe AT could give us a better version.

[@sweatyspaghetti500]

there is a really meme build for safi and kulve where you combo frostcraft with the dual blade back roll move, well worth trying it out.

Iai slashes in Japanese*

[@midgur]

0:30 why i hate tenderizing. it eats a lot of sharpness (even with master's touch) , u could die or lose a lot of health just by tenderizing (if the softened part healed and u didnt clagger it yet) u literally have to wait for ur temporal or rocksteady or wait for an attack from the monster that has a slow recovery if u want to soften again. LS should have a clutch claw attack that can soften parts easily (like that DB clutch claw attack)

[@Godslayer96]

I think it is really simple: Tenderize with one attack when at red Spirit Gauge. The same thing should apply to Insect Glaive when you collect all three extracts.

[@thepope2412]

Godslayer96 or just remove tenderizing. There’s only a few fights where it adds anything to the game.

[@mmrox4320]

From counter evade to clutch claw to save time.

[@salwaahmadz6215]

Here I'm hoping clutch counter attack Long Sword. Claw attack after using foresight slash and one hit tenderizing is cool though

Frostcraft armor set skill. From Velkhana 4-piece. As you keep your weapon sheathed, it builds up to 3 stages. Once you unsheathe, and start attacking, you get up to 30% damage bonus. Very, very good, even for non-crit draw.

Nice video peppo, you can make a video explaining if frozen barrioth with frostcraft will be worth it. It technically shouldnt because you need about 20 hits on head when you can use impact mantle.

[@PeppoLS]

I think it's too early to draw conclusions, but since you ask me, here are my personal thoughts on the topic. Considering you can substitute one piece of Brachy getting the same skills (except agitator secret ofc lol), frostfang barioth armor implementation could be worthy: you lose 8 raw from agitator secret, but you gain 5 raw from punishing draw. Since you already use CE 7 and WEX 3 in the build, 10% affinity loss doesn't really matter. So at the end you lose 3 raw to get 1 stun (in a speedrun scenario, probably more in a normal hunt), and consider that getting the stun is not that hard since the clutch claw attack is a sheathing attack. Worthy? It depends on the monsters in a speedrun scenario, probably there are cases where a free stun can help you more than a mere 3 more raw, in a normal hunt I'd probably say it's always better. You say you can just use the impact mantle, yeah but you are forced then to use evasion + impact, what if you need rocksteady or another specific mantle for the start? And what if you play in ta wiki rules? :D Still too early to confirm this all, so take it carefully.

[@Rathadude]

@@PeppoLS I didn't even know punishing draw increased damage. I thought it only did the stun effect.
