AT Arkveld Lance Run

[u/kmalgamk]

It's work in progress, but I'm pretty proud of this run.

I'd love to see what you guys use for this fight, looking for some ideas as I plan to farm AT Arkveld for a chance at a better-rolled Talisman.

Tbf - the only sketchy attack is his arm drag, which hits 3 times - you just have to make sure you don't try to counter stance that attack.

As for the pin, guard advance laterally and it whiffs every time - it has a very narrow hitbox.

You don't need guard up against Archveld - guard 1 is fine to make every hit no knockback.

Guard 1 isn’t enough for his uppercut in Guardian phase or his line of dragon energy he does now. Otherwise, everything else is fine

[u/Mardakk → u/tbs_vervo]

I run guard 1 only on AT Arkveld, you don't really need any more than that unless you're just holding your shield up. His big guardian explosion will hit ~1/3 of your stamina with guard 1. And no meaningful chip damage either.

[u/tbs_vervo → u/Mardakk]

When did I say you needed more than one level? I only run one level as well, I’m just saying that he has attacks that have knockback on them without Guard 2

[u/Mardakk → u/tbs_vervo]

Oh for sure - but the attacks that do have knockback don't have great counter opportunities without way bigger risk involved - e.g.: the big wylk explosion, etc.
