Space Marine 2 // 7 Days of Solo - 2. Bulwark - Power Sword - Lethal Difficulty, No Downs

[@dmar3651]

The Sekiro-style combat vs the Hive Tyrant was Beautiful to watch! Remember Marines: "Hesitation is Defeat"

[@newspiked7385]

Glock Saint Ishiin prepared me well

[@dmar3651]

@newspiked7385 hahaha "Glock Saint Isshin". Fml this had be nearly burst out laughing at my desk! So fkn true!🤣 He truly prepared us well.

[@warriorfire8103]

Dude that was freaking awesome. I count myself as one of the better Bulwark players but that was peak. I'm going to try to pull that off next.

[@MrBartmatzel]

I guess the Hive Tyrant is writing a complaint after this to the devs.

[@newspiked7385]

"nerf parry" :P

[@MrBartmatzel]

Like that yes 😄

[@williamstanley7678]

Gotta say, been watching on and off since Remnant 1 around swamps of corsus release and even now its unreal to me how skilled you are

[@williamstanley7678]

Holy shit, just realized that means I ran into your channel during some of its earliest vids lol. Def keep posting its super cool to see all you do

[@newspiked7385]

Yeah the IQ melee video was one of the first I ever uploaded :) Thanks for sticking around!

Fun Departamento Munitorum Fact: Sending in a Dark Angel instead of a heavy weapons Ultramarine gives you ~98.5% in ammunition savings! (The Lion would be proud btw, wonderful display of swordsmanship)

[@newspiked7385]

Thanks! Dark Angel Bulwark just feels right. No one wears the robes better.

[@biscuitson]

@@newspiked7385 I highly agree, the Calibanite Drip is real. (btw, having read up on their lore recently and having managed a quite fashionable dark-green space marine-loadout in Deep Rock Galactic with a power-axe instead of a pick only makes the Dark Angels-rep oh so sweeter, lol)

[@SpoonRacing20]

The fashion Spiked used in this video: - Like 95% tyranid blood - Green

[@newspiked7385]

Perfection

[@seb.evidente7328]

Your execution was flawless from start to finish, brother. Truly admirable! The fight with the Hive Tyrant was a spectacle to behold. I aspire to play with your level of skill one day. Kudos! 👌 May the Emperor instill in me the flame He has instilled in you!

[@newspiked7385]

My thanks, Brother! Still some mistakes to iron out, but battle sharpens the dull blade. (Yes I am aware that makes no sense.)

[@seb.evidente7328]

@@newspiked7385 no problem, I got your point anyway! Goodluck! I subbed so I will be able to watch your latest uploads 😎

[@newspiked7385]

Thx for the sub!

[@warriorfire8103]

Side note, nice to see the bots at least tickling the boss. I've been playing randos the whole time so this is my first time seeing them fight it with the buff. Not much but it's contributing, I like that.

[@newspiked7385]

It's a slightly heavier tickle now :P

[@axelrodriguez2353]

That fight with the Tyrant was awesome bro! Subbed 👏🏻

[@newspiked7385]

Thx for the sub :)

[@Gigaelpower]

Amazing fight against the Hive Tyrant, love it!

[@phdbot4483]

Wow. The way you cleaved the gaunts with the Power Sword looked very cool and probably better than how I do it. I would go in a pattern of Power Stance light > Gunstrike > Parry > Repeat. Lol! Now I feel I should do that delayed attack much more often for cleaner, more efficient damage.

[@newspiked7385]

The whirl is almost too good, I feel like I should work in more Power Rakes but the whirl does it all.

[@thepromman]

oof that intro into "Spiked" is cold af 🥶🥶🥶 great run! personally been on the R2 grind, but hoping to jump back into SM2 once the kinks (cough servers cough) are in a better state

[@newspiked7385]

I gotta get back into R2...SM2 just has me hooked :)

[@absolutebaastard]

The Emperor’s Champion. ⚔️

[@SpoonRacing20]

You truly have the emperors blessing

[@newspiked7385]

I miss the fashion posts. What kneepads am I wearing under those robes?

[@SpoonRacing20]

Bro idk lmao I also ain't about to stare at my screen tryna figure out what shade of green you got 💀

[@Dragkna7-yg4fh]

Good lord you made the boss fight harder for yourself. The perk were you get armor on non kill gunstrikes would make your life much easier. Well done though lol.

[@newspiked7385]

That would mean giving up the shock AoE on parry, which works too well with the bonus damage to shocked enemies. Didn't need the extra armour anyway :)

[@sergioaguilar2312]

The power play here. Saying you didnt even need the armour xD

[@Dragkna7-yg4fh]

@@newspiked7385 I'm pretty sure it gives you 2 armor bars back when you parry the boss with that perk though I don't know why. / I find I move around too much for the shock AoE to be worth it most of the time, plus there's 25 seconds of downtime and 5 seconds of uptime, which is a bit heavy to sink 2 perks into.

[@newspiked7385]

@@Dragkna7-yg4fh Yeah, gunstrikes on Terminus give you full armour. It's a good perk, especially on Assault, but with Bulwark I find I already have Banner if I need an emergency armour refill.

[@shadowfax-p3y]

Glorious gameplay! But normal marine playing with hive tyrant like that won't happen I guess. May be when lion fought the hive tyrant he made it look this easy with fealty and emperors shield I guess

[@ClintK.]

That was amazing could we get a screen shot of your build and wep talent tree? Would love to watch your other classes with screen shots too if their builds.

[@newspiked7385]

Full build is at the end, just check out the chapters to skip to it

[@denimtux9573]

A Spiked masterclass.

[@ricorouss8736]

Fantastic gameplay brother. Btw how do you feel about power sword vs power fist on bulwark? (Everyone feel free to respond i want to know as many opinions on this)

[@newspiked7385]

Thanks! I find the Power Sword a lot more flexible, but the Power Fist does hit hard since the buffs. The PF is my least used melee weapon so I need to get more familiar with it - I only recently learnt of the light4 into heavy5 combo for example. I do think I prefer it on the Assault where I can use Ground Pound for big AoE - the AoE on the PF feels harder to use than just power stance lights and whirl on the PS.

[@ricorouss8736]

I kind of thought the power sword was clunky, but after seeing you play with it i guess i just need to study the way of the blade more. Ps. thx for responding brother.

[@klyddkross]

Lol, I guess you have to solo this game in order to use the class you want. Really pathetic Saber.

[@newspiked7385]

No?
