Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one bothered by the Katana. On one hand I understand why they did it, it's because the damage would be completely insane if you could reliably hit 4 shots without sitting on something, but on the other it feels so odd to use sometimes. Granted, they were smart with it, you're kind of meant to offset the damage you lose with the tornado summons and in the rare situations you CAN sit on something your damage is completely bonkers.

perfectly said

The more I think about it, the more I actually like this set. Possible controversial take here, but I don't think ANY ST piece should be a reliable swap-out, it's completely warping on game balance and it just... leaves a bad taste. If you're using a piece and not the set, it should be because you're making a build AROUND it. You could tell here that they're trying to avoid the Katana being Pixie 2. Which is probably the worst example of what I mean. That sword made 99% of the swords pointless to use and was basically just flat out a better Demon Blade. If the katana was more reliable... it'd be a better Enforcer. And my god, you see people calling the katana bad, but imagine if it was g o o d. People would be in an uproar. I gotta hand it to Deca for balancing this really well. The katana is bad by itself(which I find good) but is complemented really well by the sheath, which offsets the damage you lose since you're usually only hitting 2 shots max. On top of the 70% fire rate. Same way the armor is complemented by the ring.

@@Ahegoo !!!! YEPPP you got it broski! I totally agree with this statement. Another example of that in a weird.. twisted way is the bizarre existence of Archangels Judgement. The item enables the decoys from Daevite Projenitor to do an extra 150% more damage.. which is cool but the weapon itself is a joke. An ST weapon that drops from BRIDGE SENTINEL does less damage than Corruption Cutters. STs I believe should focus more on synergy and less on individual usability. Thanks for your comments by the way, I love these discussions :)

[@Ahegoo]

@@aphrow No problem! And I feel that's mostly an issue with the fact that the new Shatts is horribly balanced. It's very pretty, but the risk to reward ratio on the dungeon was pretty silly. A lot of people are more scared of that dungeon then fucking O3... and O3 is supposed to be h a r d e r. If the weapon dropped from a more reasonable enemy, it'd probably make more sense. Because otherwise you just feel scammed getting that as a drop from an incredibly hard boss. It'd be like finishing a void for the first time and getting a white, but instead of getting the void bow, you got the coral bow.

@@Ahegoo I mean, good luck collecting ST sets with 1 or 2 vault chests, not gonna happen sadly :(

[@henrycardona2940]

Alexander's Band should drop from the coral gifts and tie into the lore.

[@akanta5746]

the st set looks insane for waveclear but honestly i don't think people are gonna be swapping their enforcer and celestial blades for this. reminds me a lot fo the bee huntress set

[@Kacper42PL]

Even Celestial has more damage at 0 def so 100% this

[@benrakusin7900]

is it really that hard to do mbd holy shit

[@catalyze_]

I’ve thought about using the armor in patience with holy waters (holy water then shoot within the next 0.2 seconds). Idk how it actually performs because 1. I’m not gonna risk an item I can’t even obtain in shatters 2. I only play necro in shatters If you or anyone reading has the balls of titanium to risk it (and the knowledge to heal in patience) pls tell me if it’s practical over using an average setup like glad guard horn or somethjng
