Lies Of P Ultimate Stat Guide (with soft caps/hard caps)

[@cosminpislariu4540]

Quick correction: below 30% is actually considered “light” equip load, and it does further enhance your dodge range and running speed.

[@returntosenderfenderbender5415]

I don't know if it's just me who never knew this until I accidentally discovered you could unequip your parts

[@Willis_war]

You could just up cap to and use a single weapon

Do u know why when I put items in storage my weight doesn't go down at all.

[@skate03110]

​@@DialupGamingit's based off what you have equipped

[@OutsetFPV]

@@DialupGamingbecause your weight is determined only by what you have equipped. Not what is in your bag.

[@itszaque]

I'm actually amazed how much im enjoying this game, it feels so good

[@HasturLaVishnu]

Same here. I didn't really have that high expectations for Lies of P, cause of so many others dev's trying to make it Souls/BloodBorne/Sekiro like games and fail. But I think they really did a great job with Lies of P, although there are some stuff that could need polish and/or Patching..

[@benjwallace7479]

Same. I was interested in it because it was a soulslike. I really didn't keep up with it and barely played the demo...a week before it came out I said let me look at the reviews. I heard and saw good things so I bought it and haven't been happier. It definitely scratches my souls itch

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

If you think this is good, you should try Sekiro or Elden ring. Much MUCH better way to play.

[@whatplanetareweon2375]

​@@nicholasnajibi3082Played them and still think Lies of P is up there.

[@OzL4H]

@@nicholasnajibi3082 I wouldn't say "much better". You make it sound as if lies of p is obsolete which I can tell you after playing well over 2000 hours of all fromsoft games combined, lies of p is a fantastic game and it's exciting to see competition with fromsoft for this game style finally. The developers at neowiz did a fantastic job. And tbf they even have voice actors from elden ring in lies of p so they are sort of linked to fromsoft in a way lmao

[@sypherian1982]

Just a quick note on the advance stat, this can greatly enhance your damage with elements (Fire. electricity and acid) if said weapon has this ability though they are few and far between, I believe the stat affects items with these effects also, examples like grinds, thermite and Carcass Body Fluid Bottle. Doing a run with these weapons specifically or a assembled versions to max potential for my stats.

[@ES21007]

It also affects the use of elemental buffs iirc so even if you're not using elemental weapons, using it to take advantage of elemental weaknesses (blitz puppets, burn carcasses and acidify humans) isn't the worst idea due to how significant they are.

[@bootstrap925]

@@ES21007 someone on fextralife compared the damage and it actually DOES NOT effect buffs such as grindstones or blitzes, even if your weapon scales with advance.

[@sonny_3033]

Wait they effect throwables too? Really!!!

[@cantrip7]

S-scaling in Advance seems to scale worse than Motivity and Technique, but you get more out of each point of Advance as you target weaknesses, so it's sorta misleading but mechanically in your favor.

[@uhhbakedpotato]

advance also heavily effects how much elemental damage you do with the legion or imbued weapons its not just for legion capacity

[@o.Struggler]

Almost 15 years later and its still on KZbinrs to explain stats in a Souls like.

[@khaledd07]

no, it's because souls games show a lot of stats that are usually hidden in games. Also, noticing when the leveling up is worthless is easy.. just look at stats

[@yvonneflop2471]

That's good. They have content to make

[@GrabLifeByDaPoosy]

There's always gonna be new fans of the genre that need help in the beginning. A new player is a new player just like you was 15 years ago. Even those familiar with the genre can potentially learn something new from other people.

[@lizardpeople]

I've made it a point not to use summons and it's been tough but man has it also been rewarding. This game is amazing. I'm putting it right next to Sekiro, Bloodborne, DS3 and Elden Ring.

[@TheThreeStorms]

Im the opposite but i bet you have learned more than me!

[@kasplat5874]

Sekiro, Bloodborne, DS3, and Elden Ring are offended. Lies is good, but the basic mechanics that have to be unlocked, the lack of poise, linear level design regardless of shortcuts, lack of multiplayer, which was annoying in Sekiro too, all make it second tier. The difficulty variation is also quite odd. I'm guessing that the game will change quite a bit via patches, but it will take months.

[@jei3970]

​@@kasplat5874the "basic mechanics" are like that in this game for a reason. And sekiro with multiplayer wouldn't work lol. Also it is his opinion to rate it highly, I personally rate it high as well. Love the game and the choices in it. I have some complaints but overall it's fantastic.

wish they did a new weapon upgrade tier for NG+ like they did in The Surge 2. would make subsequent playthrus way more fun and feel like you’re actually doing damage.

[@jackcola5513]

Ng+ is very frustrating imo

[@ahmedfalahy9337]

Some of the powerful amulets are very heavy. Dont sleep on that capacity stat

[@Joe_Silly_FEH]

4:25 I like how Light equip load isn't mentioned here, probably because people don't even know it exists. That's how absurd the requirements are lol (less than 30%)

[@cytosine6870]

I've been playing with light load for bosses and it's actually a godsend. Right now the best armor I have is 25% damage reduction. I could wear armor, or I could have insanely good dodges which help me avoid damage completely (in bosses, I would still wear armor going through areas)

[@Feanor1988bis]

It would be very interesting to see how a quality build scales, like using a weapon with double C scaling for motivity and technique or the rare B and C, compared to having an A or S scaling in a single stat. Another thing to note is that different handles have significantly different damage multipliers, with two-handed slow movesets dealing much higher damage on a single hit compared to faster and/or one-handed movesets.

[@younghandshake]

With 25 motivity and technique, I get 2 less damage with the puppet ripper when I use a technique crank to get A and D scaling instead of B and C. I think they are very viable.

[@younghandshake]

I will say though quality is probably only worth it with B and C scaling either way, C in both motivity and technique probably gets less damage than either one pure with A or higher scaling. Just guessing though, I haven't confirmed any of this.

[@Feanor1988bis]

@@younghandshake I guess it depends on how much you value having access to a wide variety of handles, as almost everything can be made quality, and it gives you basically double the cranks, while going full motivity makes anything scaling well with technique if very little use and vice versa.

[@Hailtothegun]

In short: "Just take everything to 30."

[@Plz8662]

Lol that’s what im doing

[@invisuu6280]

Great video, thank you, very informative. I wish you made an overview table at the end for quick future references.

[@notconspiracyminded]

I was getting annoyed at how slow i was with a Motivity build. Even at 22 Compacity. I thought screw it. I respect into Advance, realized I no longer need those heavy parts and now I'm a God. I just wish i didn't sell my Advance umbrella... Have to use Acid rain till NGP or something better comes along.

[@raulrojas9253]

So basically you can be a Jack of all trades in this game eventually having most stats at 35.

[@DrnMontemayor]

If you're using a melee build, you're better off doing quality. Most weapons can be squeezed out to give you an extra number with Motivity cranks, and very, very few, will with Technique cranks. Basically the closer you can get to C/C in both physical stats, the better. And for max damage go for 60/63 in Mot and Tech. Weapons, including Two Dragons' still scale better with Motivity cranks at this range.

[@RES61527]

Man thanks for getting right into those exact numbers for each stat. Now i know exactly what im looking at for each time i level up. Also you explain things simply enough, definitely subbed. 👏

[@ZeZ5]

Couple offensive stat findings. For scaling, assuming A scaling = 100% of your listed values, its D = 40%, C =60%, B =80%, and S =120%. Advance ONLY effects elemental damage, so advance scaling without elemental blade doesnt do anything. Given that you hit diminishing returns at 18 & 23, it ends up being better damage on all weapons to shoot for C/C or B/C (for boss weapons) and raise the lower stat once you hit 18. Basically Lies of P only has one build, and its quality.

[@JodouTR]

Thanks for the numbers breakdown, as I myself had already used a loose understanding of Souls games logic of stats and applied it here. It worked out perfectly for me as I imagined soft caps for Vitality and Motivity were about 40, with Vigor around 30. I put no points in Advance or Technique since they scaled worse or did nothing for my build, and kept Capacity just high enough to be below 80% + wiggle room for swapping in the 10% damage amulets for boss fights. I'm on NG+ now and crushing the game my second time through so it's good to hear NG+7 is very hard. I doubt I'll push beyond the required NG++ for all achievements but it has been an incredible ride so far and I'm so looking forward to their next game already.

[@Quessen]

Imo they will put a dlc instead of new game (despite the story of her has enough material for whole game) because bitch was jumping on the rooftops of krat.

[@nuke_looter5174]

It’s true man I agree with you completely. I finally jumped back into the game after a couple months break in the final chapter beat the game and I’m now more than half way through in NG+ and it’s really not fun at all it’s a complete nightmare and the damage enemies do is an absolute joke on top of them being able to attack you while in staggerable state as you are also attacking them. Hate love relationship with this game.

[@CaptToilet]

You explaining the damage in NG+ is one of the things that annoy me about this game. When I took a hit from even some of the "elite" mobs and lost a quarter health during my first playthrough I was wondering when it switched to NG+2 on me. Only time I recall taking damage like this was in my NG+5 playthrough of Bloodborne. Still some fine tuning that needs to be done for sure.

[@CoastingBy]

Very good video, very informative. Lies of P got a lot of good things from cooking with the Souls formula. A lack of clarity on number information both for stats and for amulets/other buffs should NOT have been one of them. Still loving the game though.

[@terrycrist3]

I appreciate that this game is good enough to get coverage. I’m enjoying it myself.

[@cavsfightingroom3692]

I'm at NG+ and level 210, have vitality, vigor, capactiy and motivity at 60, not sure what the softcaps are, so this video is very helpful

[@PaRaNiki_]

I'm about the same level, but stayed at 40 for Vit, Capacity and Motivity, put vigor at about 20-25. Then leveled Technique to 40, if you then use handles that have both motivity and technique scaling, or put a balance crank on weapons you already modified, it'll really make a difference in damage you deal.

[@Marco__M]

2 questions for you: How's NG+ at lvl 210? Still so hard or more doable? Also, how did you reach that level? Seems like you have found a good spot to farm!

[@cavsfightingroom3692]

[@cytosine6870]

Thank you! I completely agree it's insane that things like Amulets don't say how much they add, and it's difficult to test due to the random damage. Is there a current resource that has how much the Amulets actually add?

[@FriedrichTheGreatest]

No but I can tell you through my testing the ones I did: Arm Of God is 3% per stack, up to 12% more damage at 4 stacks. Not great. Extreme Modification Amulet gives 5% damage boost per FILLED Fable bar. This doesn't work on the majority of Fable attacks because the bar empties prior to the attack landing, but is really good on Wrench builds.

[@SadDogofShimano]

​@@FriedrichTheGreatestI think that 12% is pretty good

[@FriedrichTheGreatest]

@@SadDogofShimano it *can be* if you're using a weapon that can Crit, because of multiplicitive stacking, but 12% 99% of the time isn't going to change the amount of hits-to-kill. It's only useful for bosses

[@FriedrichTheGreatest]

Not to mention most enemies die in less than 5 hits (which is the amount required to use the fourth stack) First hit: +0% Second: +3% Third: +6% Forth: +9% Fifth and higher: +12% Good for bosses but sadly only for bosses

[@Summanis]

I went light roll the whole game and found it to be my preferred way to play, right up until (unnamed final boss) schooled me for an hour before I armored up to mid roll and beat him my next try. If you can't p block fury attacks and you don't have the ring to dodge them, spacing with light roll is a good option. Keep in mind that aggressive bosses counter this.

[@w_419]

I really hope that they end up dropping some sort of patch later on that will scale the damage output higher in ng+ otherwise it makes the game feel like there is not sense of growth for the character.

[@thewolfking3054]

Agreed. I would like it if it either improved the over all stat increases we get for leveling up at higher levels or maybe give us additional weapon upgrades for new game +. We get additional p organ slots so I don't and +1/ +2 level gear so I really don't see a problem with us getting a buff in damage.

[@jackcola5513]

Everything scales so your level doesn't matter and the amount it goes up every time is so little its not even worth the grind they need to fix it

[@fakeigniz13]

I think the weapon damage scaling just breaks half way though the game and this has a knock on affect to ng+

[@cudimixtapes]

“One thing they do similar to fromsoft, they dont explain shit” bruh that was hilarious

[@leoperez4602]

There is a light mode in weight if you stay lower than 39 %

[@BriefKeef]

Well the devs said there's a patch coming as well as DLC's so maybe they'll fix some of the BS in this game like the damage caps and nerf some bosses and the damage of enemies in NG+

[@TaintedPsyche.]

Thank you for creating this video; the information is incredibly helpful. I'd love to see a spreadsheet of some sort with all this information on it.

[@albino5995]

So for me I am up to the Simon boss on 2nd play through and every stat is level 40 apart from capacity which is 45 and I did very little farming, so just shows how much you can level during the 2nd playthrough because when you’re paying 16k to level up, it only costs 1 extra ergo for the next level for quite a lot of levels, so it’s great to be able to just use any weapon you like with best scaling you can have 💪

[@godqueensadie]

Very interesting that they basically went with no Soft Caps, and instead just linear diminishing returns.

[@luffysleftnipple69yearsago]

Well said

[@ElixerS5]

Example: Vitality: 35 (main focus) Vigor: 15 Capacity: 35 (main focus) Motivity or advance: 35 (main focus, only choose one) Advance: 20 (focus on motivity or technique more, but elemental damage is important)

[@ryancasteel5160]

Feel that at this point most of the ng+1 is nerfed on damage taken but ng+2 hits hard only after the hotel is raided. I'm in ng+3 and came to check leveling guide to see if it is useful in current game build. Laxiasia was really the hardest for me and I want to be ready for her by the end of this run.

souls bourne vet. all my numbers were in range of what you recommended lol im using a motivity build and currently just focusing on capacity to be able to carry 2 weapons.

I think that a video about how stats works in the game should show less footage of the game, and of course not all the weapons nor the bosses after the one of the demo. I wanted the information to think about my build, but the video has spoiled me some things. At least, you could add a disclaimer. Not angry whatsoever, just saying. And, of course, the information you give in the video is wonderful (as always).

[@salohcin1013]

This was SO helpful! Thank you!

[@SomethingScotty]

I must just be getting old because it seems like I'm one of the few people who actually think this game has terrible balancing issues. For starters this games difficulty doesn't gradually ramp. At chapter 4 it's just a hard plummet straight to DifficultyLand, and if you're not good at parrying you're gonna be there the entire rest of the game. Game gives you 3 short chapters to become the SSJ God of parries, and if you can't well then sucks to be you I guess. On top of that you have no poise or hyper armor, so you'll get smacked out of everything you think to do, even dodges a lot of the time. Bosses with 7-9 hit combo chains that heal them every time they land one, even if you block them means fights drag on for waaay longer than they should. There's so many more issues, but too much to list on just a youtube comment. That being said however, a lot of my issues with this game could easily be resolved by just adding some poise or hyper armor and maybe giving parrying/dodging an extra frame or two. For all the aggravatingly poor balance issues this old man feels this game has, just simply giving us poise/hyper armor would skyrocket this game from a 3 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10.

[@loco1217]

it is frustrating once a boss is in a stagger state and you can’t get off the heavy to put them down because they relentlessly attack and if you have a short handle weapon forget about it , but two things that made the game much easier for me was to forget about other stats until i got vitality to 20 and if you cant parry blocking is way better than rolling you take way less hp damage and you can gain hp back with the regain system also the electric stick you can buy early is op

[@HJDSimon]

Great video, nicely to the point. Also agree, NG+ is just such a grind against bosses. Feels like it's taking 50+hits even being crazy leveled and with buffs, meanwhile like you say, with 89Vit I'm still getting 2 shotted. Seems very unreasonable

[@TheFondalizer]

I'm at the end of ng+ and only have like 35 vitality. Played through ng with 15. I survive at least 3 attacks and smaller enemies or weaker bosses can hit me more than five times. You gotta wear better armour or something. The capacity stat is really helpful as it just keeps going up. Def bit beefier enemies though it takes me just as many hits to kill the mobs if not less than ng so I'd say it's balanced decently well

[@jackcola5513]

Ng+ is so bad dont bother the scaling is ridiculous i even cheated a max level character to see how much dmg i would do with level 600 and it chanced almost nothing so in other words leveling means nothing

[@michaelg5793]

You didnt even show the stat range increases with advance. Completely different to motivity. At 20 advance im getting +1 lol. Thats with an A scalimg adv weapon

[@elfideorubio1308]

Heya great video thank you taking the time to make, I'm curious but this the stats ever get explain within the game ? like what they up untill I saw your video I only had a rough approximation of what they do.

[@denilton2387]

you level up so quickly in ng+ that you end up not even knowing where to put your points, I'm at NG+2 and when I realized that after lvl 40 the weapon's scaling stops adding so much damage, so I decided to simply change my build to quality and I left all my attack stats at 44, basically now I can use all the weapons and arms in the game and still do a lot of damage with them

[@Jaufri]

Awesome video bro! FYI, Advance also increase the fire and electricity legion damage and maybe even more?

[@kasplat5874]

Due to the lack of poise in the game, what you decide to emphasize probably should focus more on what is going to give you trouble, which is most likely the bosses and the "elite" type enemies in the level. In general, the issue is not getting hit, which means you either need to be very good at Perfect Guards or rely on a handle like the starting Greatsword to get periodic perfect guards by burning Fable charges or always run a "heavy" build that allows you to absorb a lot of hits and regain the damage from minor enemies, while still dodging most of the time to avoid boss / elite damage except when you know you can perfect guard again. However, since the game does follow the Souls formula of the "trash" between bosses mostly being a nuisance with no quest or Ergo value over any other enemy, you only have to know about the ones that do have an associated quest or item drop. The short story is that if an enemy reappears after they have been killed and you reset they are just fodder like any other enemy. Since it is "Souls" there is no need to kill anything other than the bosses gating progression and the special "elite" enemies for quests and item drops. If you want Ergo and drops, then you farm the easy enemies and ignore the rest. Early on, I actually like the Rapier handle for the strong attack poke that dodged back and I put on the elemental blade for the type of enemies in the area. Capacity to stay light for stamina regen is more important in that case as you can't really fail on guarding. Finally, it is annoying, but raising your HP is pointless until you get back more HP and have more pulse charges compared to extended dodge and dodging off the ground (can't believe this is locked initially). If you aren't getting one-shot then you have enough HP.

From what I found you get more benefit from keeping the weapon scaling on B (main) and D(secondary stat) and leveling them both to around 30 then boosting to higher values in one and scaling it to A

[@Ansiktsmaskful]

Does this apply to a first playthrough? I mean do you have time to level both to 30? Or is it better to first go all in on one stat then respec when u are higher lvl?

​@@AnsiktsmaskfulI finished the game at level 96 I think with vit-40 vig-25 cap-30 mot-30. Technique and advance at base level.

So Motivity is just slower move sets with no defensive compensation the way STR gives physical resist in FromSoft games… meaning it’s a strictly worse damage stat…

[@TheCrimsonEpilogue]

But don't the heavier weapon types have more guard %?

[@tehCostHD]

Slower move set but higher damage per hit.

[@kylele23]

All the heavier weapons literally have more guard defense lol. Also changing your handle and cranking it for motivity means you can change the moveset to a faster one if it bothers you that much. Greatsword of fate blade with the rapier handle is pretty much a solid go to for the entire game.

[@vheataylorsyorkies7215]

I think why you die quickly is cause you got no damage reduction and i feel like you are like REQUIRED to upgrade your weight just to get by its sucks but it seems like that's how you got to play Also i feel the specter dies easy, i think the dude needs a buff and a big one or a p organ that vastly increase his stats or at least the power to summon two specters

I was referring specifically to NG+. I have maxed out defences and defence amulets and stuff just melts you way more than regular NG

Specters really just don't seem to scale up properly. They get smashed twice as fast in +.

[@kami3449]

All the complaints about the spectors is pretty much addressed with wish stones that allow you to buff your spectator in many different ways

[@FelisImpurrator]

@@kami3449 Not in NG+. They don't scale properly. And most wishstones aren't very well balanced, like the resurrection one (indomitable) restoring like two hits worth of health on NG while needing to be timed (so it's worse than friendship 100% of the time), or the damage reduction one just not lasting very long.

Am I right in thinking guard regain is per hit? Because I usually get it all back if I can get enough successive hits in after the block.

Good to start getting good guides for P! Know... i need to know if grinds weapons buffs scales with advance stat xD Cause every item shows his scale but there is no info for elemental damage with grinds >0< im assuming they do so since im 55 in strng and dex im just lvling advance now In ng++ you get a p organ skill that let you stay in white weight until 79% capacity, wich is amazing!!

[@aLousyBum83]

Hopefully they will boost some stuff in a patch. I enjoy it, but for a game that has such a high priority on guarding, they need to do something to make it more crispy. It feels kinda bad imo.

[@pegeta]

Guarding does feel legit terrible

[@Dravianpn02]

Perfect block window is objectively garbage for how fast the enemy swings are. It's asinine people are defending that and the half broken dodging that doesn't even have all the way through. If you dodge and barely touch a red enemy charging at you when doing so, you take the FULL attack damage. It needs fixing.

Maybe this is a stupid thing not to know, but I keep seeing something has A scaling or B scaling, or however. What does that even mean? is it like a grade thing, where A is best and D is not so good? I have no clue and when I look it up they just say, well, it has A scaling. ok, thanks? and also what is B technique? Is that like the scaling? I guess I don't know how these grades work in this game at all. I have played the demo but any help would be great.

[@vhsodre]

Thanks a lot, man. That's a very informative video. I finally defeated King of Puppets yesterday, after more than 100 tries. I don't consider myself as a bad player, but Lies of P feels way too hard compared to every single soulslike that I beat (Demon's Souls, DS1 and 2, Bloodborne, The Surge 1 and 2, Wo Long, Mortal Shell and Salt & Sanctuary). I see videos of people beating King of Puppets and doing lots of damage, that makes me think that I really need to optimize the build I chose. Also, I got the feeling that Lies of P makes you rely too much on the perfect guard, that I don't think it's OK in this game. It's a great game indeed, but, at least for me, it's the most frustrating one.

[@morfheus177]

It's true, the perfect guard is crucial. If you suck at that, you are going to have a hard time.

[@nexarath]

It's really not though, it's sorta like the first boss of Wo Long - you feel at first it's overwhelming then you learn to bait and punish certain attacks and before you know it he's toast. The one thing that makes it WAY easier is saving up a heavy-hitting special attack and combing that shit. Basically, get him stunned, then bust out your special, which will not only do a chunk of dmg but also put him into the stagger state. Then just press lb/mouse 1 and then wail on him after he's recovering from all that. Alternatively, if you can get off a quick charged attack (way easier with the technique (dex) starting class) you can do THAT to stagger him, then do the big dmg attack THEN unleash the special. Between those he should get absolutely wrecked and be on like 10-15% health tops. For the last part you can actually bait and dodge most things, and then if you see the super-obvious red attack keep your cool, perfect block that and after that he's basically dead. The key to the fight is not getting greedy and either learning to block everything perfectly, having a motive (str) char first so you take very little chip dmg from blocks or just learning that you CAN actually dodge most of his attacks, and then follow up to do slow but steady damage.

[@AscendantStoic]

Not really, perfect guard is important but this ain't no Sekiro, you need to use EVERYTHING to win, some boss Combos are much easier to perfect guard, some are much easier if you dodge and reposition, some are easier to deal with if you simply run away or backpedal, and some slower attacks you can just simply block and then hit enemy to restore your HP, experiment and find out, you need to approach each boss fight with an open mind, figure which is the best strategy to deal with each different boss attack, there is no one size fits all strategy here unless you have godly reflexes, and most of us don't. Also don't sleep on the legion arm powers, certain fables arts, consumables, throwables and the wish cube, they can all also help tremendously, for example, the cannon ball throwables give you a guaranteed enemy stagger if you throw one at an enemy when their health bar frame is glowing white, makes most boss fights a lot easier. Also certain flailing combos by bosses like the Puppet King and Swamp Monster are so much easier to deal with by simply repositioning yourself, either by standing under the boss or to their side, a well timed dodge is usually what you need here not a perfect guard.

[@flamo2666]

king of puppets is one of the bosses where perfect guard is honestly not that important. For his first phase, dodging is actually way more optimal than parrying (his sweeping attacks push you away if you parry them, you can only get hits in if you roll). His second phase has horrible tracking, you can quite literally just dodge to the side and punish almost all of his attacks and combos i've heard of many people who've beaten the game just by focusing on blocking rather than parrying and it didn't cause too many problems for them.

[@nexarath]

@@flamo2666 My point wasn't that he was especially hard or anything, and the first phase in particular is a total cakewalk and you can burst him down real fast if you've been upgrading your weapon. The problem is that, like Malenia and the Blue Smelter Demon and other various examples through the years, he just has some bullshit moves. Are they unwinnable? Of course not. Unfair? Debatable, cause of what you just said too. But bullshit? Definitely. He breaks normal rules with the length of his combo and if you happen to mess up near the beginning of it you'll likely eat most of it which will likely kill you however well you were doing prior to that. That constitues as bs, regardless of whether you can still get around it or not, imho.

[@MrJamess1982]

I’m just starting NG+ With the latest patch and about 5th or so chapters in. I think the patch may have weakened some of the enemies. Either I’m over powered or the enemies just don’t hit as hard as it was stated in this video.

I've noticed that too. NG+ feels super easy. First playthrough took 45 hours to complete now I'm on chapter 5 within 5 hours. I am over lvl 100 so I might be overleveled

[@Kwat224son]

The soft caps are so low that at level 30 dex it’s better to level strength even though you have a weapon with A scaling in dex. That was my understanding at least.

[@FelisImpurrator]

There's one thing to note. Cranks are a trap if you spec into quality/balanced damage stats, because everything other than making the stats more even will straight up nerf your damage. With equal ratios, C and B scaling will outscale an S. The end-endgame with 100 all stats would benefit from cranking every handle down from S or A scaling, except for Advance handles which are better with more focus on Advance because elemental damage is the only reason to use them. But otherwise, cranks are only relevant if you're minmaxing one damage stat.

Like i think it was stamina or something that going from 98-100 did nothing. or atleast 98 to 99 nothing changed legit nothing. (this was my last 100 stat) I wish they had stances like the ds3 and elden ring where if you use 2 handed you get 33% boost becuse i did not check the stats and was on 60 motivity (going motivity only build) when i frist played.
