[@PetePossum111]

Amazing skill! I am on ng+8 now and still enjoy the game by testing various builds. The rock solid build is so much more fun than the tank or stun builds, but i am already struggling on some bosses. IF I manage to master this, i will try the combination with this immobilize setup. Keep these videos comming please. Really appreciate them... Thx

[@KUPR0Y]

i just started ng+ to try rock solid build and im surprise its synergic with thrust stance, especially executioning heavy thrust lv 4 right after successful parry. its so good

[@visic1]

you don't even need 4 focus points! when I play rock solid I do the thrust heavy after every parry. it's so satisfying

[@visic1]

Thank you! glad you like it. Rock solid pairing with immoblize is pretty crazy. It feels like you have 2 parry buttons that comes off cooldown one after another

What a breakdown! i didn't know that you could make this spell this optimized, great video!

[@visic1]

Thank you! I love your videos btw!

[@RajajaTube]

Never connected evanescence with immobilization until watching your clip. Most efficient manual charge slam. Plenty of time for a l3 smash (first BMWk play through)--staggers every boss so far.

[@visic1]

Glad I could help! For most bosses yea it’s enough time for L3 smash

[@RajajaTube]

@@visic1 Destroyed non-white impersonator (Towers of Karma) with perfect immobilization. Stood next to him and casually charge up a l3 smash, followed by a combo, & then instinctive heavy-mash. Took him out easily under a minute. (Believe or not: this guy was taking 1/3 to 1/2 of my HP on many tests runs.) Fun!

[@RajajaTube]

Your videos help me understand my lucky moves and other aspects of strategies and fun plays. :D Partially responsible for defeating Venom Daoist with another perfect immobilization. I was trying to go into Cloud Step--pressed wrong button---fired off Red Tides who finished him. I don't really like immobilization on later chapters because too many bosses could break out of it right away. So far, I've gotten lucky on a L4 thrust on Tiger Vanguard exactly as you described, which for the life of me I couldn't understand perfectly until watching your videos on L4 the Thrust Stance. I rolled out of panic and then pressed Hail Mary heavy smash. However, somewhere in the fight, I switched to Thrust Stance already--started on the fight with a running L3 smash on him. The unplanned L4 instantly took him out (tough boss?!). Needless to say I was stunned a little. At the time I didn't understand the power of L4 at all and how it could be obtained. Now I understand I got it from all the light combos. And yes L4 thrust is different from all other heavy's, there's no click sound--still stunned--just watched recording again. (No pills either) Also finding being offensively aggressive serves me better. Always attacking because I really hate defense. Looking forward to completely abandon my semi "monastic" strategy and incorporating Rock Solid in boss fights. Use medicament to overcome Yellow Loong. My style of play is truly high risk & high reward as you stated. I don't like long fights where I need to dodge for hours. Incidentally, I feel the power of light combos is underestimated, finding many of my heavies are easily countered by bosses--at least in my style of fights--especially when I begin to incorporate Non-Able into some fights. Now I'm considering buying a two-piece golden armor for Rock Solid as you recommended in another video for early chapter 5. I'm just worried about spending all the fine gold threads where I'll miss out on better armors later in chapter 5. Spent quite a bit on the full insect armor and a three-piece Rock Solid armor.

[@visic1]

@ glad my video helped! As for the golden armor it’s so good so you can’t really go wrong with that.. but if you have 3-piece rock solid already why didn’t you finish the 4 piece though? It’s also very good

[@d4ying]

Although I try to not rely on immobilize in my playthru, I really think this skill is the coolest

[@visic1]

yea this is the only way I would use immobilize in a video.

[@truongthanh2158]

nice explaination! BTW I suggest more content about spirits combo string, spirit into resolute strike, that haven't seen any doing on youtube yet.

[@visic1]

yea I've seen some videos on that with Non-void predominantly, but I just don't like non-void that much :( I can try to think of something interesting tho. thanks for the suggestion!

[@WattSCar7597]

I was an immobilize abuser my first playthrough and i can't do evanescence lmao. Btw, i still love that rock solid build. started a new journey and i can't stop rock solid > thrust. it's so satisfying lol. btw, is it possible for you to do a vid on what boss moves are best to use rock solid on like yin tiger or erlang? every time i use it i get staggered lmao. thanks for the vid man. keep up the awesome content!

[@visic1]

Thank you! Glad you like the rock solid build haha. Unfortunately I won't have time to make boss specific guides.. but in general it's easier to remember which attack you can't parry than the other way around. For yin tiger it's mostly the attacks when his blades are red, and for erlang it's mostly his axe attack except for the one where he starts with dragging his axe on the ground.

[@weshie]

im on my second cycle, and didnt realize i was pulling evanescence from time to time. Everytime it happened, it left me thinking :"huh? i didnt press the dodge button, so why did i do a perfect dodge right when i pressed immobilize", weird, and then i just moved on. Now I will use it more intentionally, thanks!

[@visic1]

@@weshie good for you haha I think I tried it a few times and gave up. Didn’t know what it looks like until Ng+. But glad I helped!

[@dingo702]

Crazy the precision this game requires.. I don't even land all my rock deflections

[@visic1]

I‘m glad that they give you these talents that require precision but they are not necessary at all to beat the game.

[@sergethegrim]

This skill is a risk not worth taking unless you know the boss mechanics inside out

[@visic1]

but it looks so cool tho

[@djokotriono7787]

Yes same window. Evanescence, perfect dodge and retaliate

[@visic1]

the see-through attacks? those have a way more generous window

[@stopztaring]

And me here already tested all skills in first play through 😅 really enjoyed the ring if fire playstyle it had a curve but solid in my opinion.

[@visic1]

ring of fire is a bit underrated for sure

[@davidtsmith33]

5:31 So many drinks though. I hardly use drinks. Maybe 1-5% of my fighting in first playthrough. And none in NG+ thus far. I'll have a load of drinks by the time I reach NG+3

[@boneless9311]

Great video, definitely subscribing. I’ve been struggling with the immobilize timing. Have you tested doing the light combo finisher after the spirit? I kinda inconsistent with it when I do the non-able slam.

[@visic1]

Thank you! for continuing the combo just smash the light attack button and it works every time, unless you used your spirit too late so that your finisher was already out before the spirit

[@boneless9311]

@@visic1 okay thanks 🙏🏽

[@WheeledHamster]

But on PC it's a single button while using a control requires R2 plus Square which further adds delays and complications.

[@visic1]

yea it's definitely more annoying. An easier way to do it is to press R2 ahead of time and press square when the timing is right. You need to know what attack and when the attack is coming for evanescence anyway

You said in one of the comments that this is one of your favourite games. I agree, but what games do you think is on this level? Very curious to hear your opinion.

In terms of gameplay, Elden Ring. In terms of story, the Witcher 3

Basically parry immobilize I witnessed this the other day lol

[@visic1]

yea basically that

[@lieu724]

@ I thought I was trippin I was like did I just perfect dodge immobilize lol

[@andras_baka]

How do you trigger the black immobilization effect? Does it occur only when evanescence is successful, or do you have to upgrade the armor to mythical?

[@visic1]

you need the bronze gauntlets for the black effect

[@Galaka100]

This is great! I have one issue physically: my left finger is on the R1 of my PS5 and my thumb is on the triangle so that I can charge and therefore I don’t know how I can hit the X button properly to do a dodge while I continue charging. I kind of have to roll my thumb down which is not very accurate. There are often cases where I would like to be able to dodge while charging and this has been quite frustrating. I guess I can put my middle finger on the R1 and my Peter pointer on the trigger which would allow me to use the thumb on the X button but that’s a bit convoluted and would probably only work for an initial boss attack.

[@visic1]

yea it's pretty annoying on controller.. I guess the easiest solution is to get used to using the thumb to press x as well.

[@caderz]

You can try switching your controller set-up to use R2 to charge, its easier to hold that then use O to dodge.

[@mrpotch]

That thumbnail tho
