Iraklis is OP - [Dragon's Dogma]

[@oddball9163]

The fewer words a magic sword’s name has the more dangerous it is. You don’t want to be in the wrong end of Dark King Grutmore’s Edge of Annihilation don’t get me wrong. But you FOR SURE don’t want to be on the wrong end of something called IRAKLIS.

[@Vherstinae]

"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. "This is Iraklis. It starts with your knees."

[@seabass5892]

I don't think it's quantity of words, but quality. When you hear "Dark King Grutmore’s Edge of Annihilation", you know who it used to belong to, and what it's gonna do; Dark King Grutmore, and annihilate. But "Iraklis" tells you nothing. It sounds like the name of a person, but the lack of titles implies mystery. It could be a someone you "have" heard of, a complete stranger, or even an unknowable entity. Only more questions arise when you figure out it's just a weird-ass sword.

[@TheFlameEmblem]

That name sounds like a noise when people get killed by something so maybe that sword killed so many living things the name just stuck

[@TheSteelkeeper0]

death, end, extinction

[@tekkenryu]

@@seabass5892 Even worse when you get hit by Iraklis- most of the time it deals peanuts damage giving you false confidence, and then out of nowhere "WHAM" and you're dead.

I expect a 25% chance of that happening at launch

[@lred1383]

also force hatchet and caged fury. These three are truly playstyle defining, absolutely love them

[@DivingHawker]

They could have gone for a crit oriented sword, but they went for a CRIT oriented sword

[@Personell101]

Trust not in your RNG, trust in the multi-hits.

[@Almoniification]

Then you would never use this sword. 25% chance to multiply your damage by 9 translates to 2.25 damage multiplier on average. 885*2,25 = 1991, which is still lower then BE's 2055 STR, but makes you take 50% more damage and increases stamina comsuption. Sadly, Iraklis is just BE at home. On average. That is on top of very weird scaling: it starts with whopping 105 damage (lul), forging it to 3 star triples it for no reason, dragonforging adds another 40% and purification doubles it. It scales like a rusted sword in normal game and then like low rarity weapon in post game. Which means it probably will be on par with any weapon you can use at any given moment of your playthrough. On average. TL;DR: This sword is for believers only. Go big or go cry in pillow, because you just spent all your upgrade mats on this... thing.

[@noble3696]

Yeah but its fucking cool I still just use the iron sword fully rarified because it looks cool

[@deathripperx1]

@@Almoniification You compared Iraklis' dmg 25% of the time vs BE's 100%. At 100%, Iraklis does 2655. the formula is (885*.25*9) + (885*.75)

[@Death_dm]

@@Almoniification somebody doesn’t understand DD hit boxes and it showes.

[@Almoniification]

@@deathripperx1 ah, yes, you are correct (almost). But it will be (885*0.25*9)+(885*0.75*0.1), since Iraklis deals 10% weapon damage 75% of the time. In the end it deals the same damage on average as BE. Also, crits are calculated before character's stats are added to the total damage value.

This was such a sick video. Has me really craving DD2 now

[@edouardkb2064]

Cant wait for dragon's dodogama 2

[@blazingamer21]

It's my favorite weapon in the game also! Hope it makes its way into dd2.. Nice job, as usual, on the video also. 👍🏼

[@Killazaa]

Iraklis is a lot better than it seems on the stats, it actually has very comparable DPS to Bitter End assuming every fourth hit is a crit. Just getting lucky enough to crit on every third hit bumps the DPS well above every other longsword, though of course that doesn't happen consistently. Unless you like using lash/arc I think it's definitely the best longsword in the game if you can put up with a few unlucky strings of hitting enemies with a wet noodle.

[@Eirud]

I'm insanely impatient for DD2 not only because I want to play the fucking game, but also because I cannot wait for more 10/10 content from this banger of a channel. It's literally split 50/50 for the source of my hype.

[@wacktastic1]

I cant wait for your DD2 video madness

[@Voc_spooksauce]

[@AngelMass]

Amazing, I was just thinking about giving Irakis a chance. I'm currently playing with the Force Hatchet and It is so much fun to try to do all that damage while trying not to get hit

[@Moodyblues478]

I just want to thank you for putting me on to dragons dogma with the magick knight is op video

[@godsplayingfield]

there is no greater joy in the game that buffing your strength to maximum, equipping Iraklis, and landing a critical arc of obliteration. it's the closest thing to planet cracking we got.

[@OceanRedux]

i swear ur one of the most underrated youtubers

[@bigt3xt859]

I love the fact that I had this game for years and for multiple consoles and just finding out about this weapon lol

[@sigfrodr]

As a warrior player for most of my 1200+ hours of DD:DA, I'd say you missed one caveat of Iraklis vs. Bitter End that is fairly important to warriors and that's the stagger and knockdown values. They're 207 units less than Bitter End. I enjoy using Iraklis but it does make it more difficult to get knockdowns and that can be a big deal for warrior if you solo like I do mostly. Really only matters in Post-Daimon BBI but I digress. Great video. Love to see Dragon's Dogma content. I just hope DD2 lives up to the hype. I'm trying to stay grounded in my expectations.

[@zuflis]

as a warrior main, im excited and hopeful theres the equivalent of Iraklis in DD2.

[@RaidenKaiser]

now that you explained what this weapon actually does opened my eyes to it. Warrior under normal circumstances is take hits and knock shit down its rarely a damage vocation but this weapon i know a skill thats rapid hit for warrior that could synergize with with this and I have an idea for my next pawn now.

[@jhonm6347]

what is this awesome chaos of a channel😂

[@thenootduck]

Real gamers know that 25% chance actually means 0% chance most of the time

[@abeldiaz3877]

A slight correction: only if it's a positive effect. If it's negative (25% chance of breaking, for example), it will most likely mean 100% on the first hit.

Iraklis is what I used to plat the game when starting bbi haha. Though daimon second form was not fun with bolide spam and me restricting myself to not use wakestones, op pawns, or periapts.

[@Herofromsevenyearsago]

Love to see Iraklis getting some love, fun pawn build: keep warrior pawn as low level as you can, equip Iraklis, hydra set, Augments Exhilaration, Vehemence, Clout, and (Tenacity). hilarity ensues, assuming it wasnt fixed, but trick is keeping pawn as low level as possible. play on easy, farm (small) rats in the stable in casardis for Disciple points without much exp gain. very tedious, rewarding? not really.

[@edenknight777entertainment5]

I’ve been saying this for years lol. Back when the DLC for the weapons and armor came out, I tried convincing a friend but he just wouldn’t listen. I told him just use jump attacks and carry items that will restore stamina.

Hmm, last time I played Dragon’s Dogma, I was pretty convinced Mystic Knight was my favorite class, but I never tried this weapon as a Warrior. It’s like a demon possesses the sword and is the once who decides when it is time to kill. I don’t know about the debuffs though. I guess I’ll find out when I try it.

[@iamdoom9810]
