@@noah9942. Splintering Lightning Spear was terrible. Didn't even have that appearance (was more of a glowing ring), had bad damage, and was nearly impossible to aim. I will admit that adding some tracking to it in this game would have been nice however, since Faith builds lost their main wakeup Miracle (Heavenly Thunder) in 3, no I won't acknowledge Pillars of Light. Then again, Soul Shower wasn't treated well, so perhaps it was better it stayed out.

Yeah with King of the Storms support, the serpents were favored to win but in the second fight, Chosen Undead had an opportunity and he didnt squander it, without King of The Storms support, he and the army mopped the serpents rather easily and focused on him when all of them are dead, Nameless King was killed Yhorm Irythyll Gangbang Style, the third is just, come on Chosen Undead focus on the fucking armies before you try to fuck up your son.

[@therandomartist3201]

To be a champion of flame, to be a dark lord, to be one who breaks a endless cycle, one must understand souls, souls of men, souls of lords, souls of gods, and souls of monster. The thing to understand is that souls are impossible to destroy or create. The only thing a soul will truly do, is change or shift. That is why, when one of the last great battles began, the Soul of Cinder felt something shift and move in it, something came to the surface and took control. That thing was the Soul of Gwyn, staring at his son who had taken back his title. His title as a god of war. He gripped the coiled blade he so long ago plunged into the fire, to link it to the dark, and rushed forward. The scattered knights could see the change, the shift in the Cinders and rallied behind it, remembering when they had so long ago charged with Gwyn to fight The Everlasting Dragons of old.

Should've included a smattering of the Silver Knights greatbow archers to counter the ranged axes and fire breath of the Man-serpents and the chain-greataxe variants. Maybe reduce the black knight numbers a little bit to compensate for such. In an AI battle, ranged attacks are king so far as support.

[@christianlangdon3766]

Yea if the storm drake decides to tank a bit since no head damage the chain boy and his goons would range spam them to death, the dragonslayer guys would also deal some damage or might get the storm drake away from the black knight horde. Also I feel the soul of cinder might be to random of a fight to properly be appreciated in many of these fights, being mage was super good, but he never did that again.
