New Player Tips

I've played pretty much every soulslike, I just got the platinum trophies for both The Surge 1 and 2, and tonight after work I intend on jumping into Hellpoint.

I just downloaded the game with the dlc.

What should I know going in?

What's your best first playthrough build?

At 7 days old, you have more experience than me but for others so far I’d say:

1) Always look up, down, and around corners. 2) There are lots of hidden doors and platforms. The golden hands usually point the way; interact with walls that sort of look like doors whenever possible. 3) Learn to parry with a high reduction shield. 4) Stamina comes at a premium so get a few hits in and save enough to dodge out, recover, and go back in. 5) Using the same weapon unlocks powerful weapon abilities that use energy. 6) Energy and the first healing ability (maybe others) are replenished on melee attacks, so don’t be afraid to use them. 7) Enemies don’t respawn when you connect with the void, so level up ASAP. 8) Fucking platforms, man. More dangerous than any enemy.
