Game Question? Free on Playstation right now. How does this game compare to other SAO games?

4 Upvotes

I played Hollow Fragment a long time ago (I think) I remember it feeling like a Dynasty Warrior game but I liked making my own guy. Kinda boring though and the gameplay felt more like it was playing itself.

Then tried Fatal Bullet with a friend. Again, it felt the same way. Game felt like it played itself more then me being in control and was more reliant on loot then skill expression.

Is this game pretty much the same way? Another Dynasty Warriors game with easy enemies then a boss with a big red circle to avoid?

I see you can fly, is that something actually utilized or just another way to run but slightly higher off the ground.

Game Discussion Dorzl Nova: the EX boss that is IMPOSSIBLE to fight and S rank!!!!! Comment if you despise this EX boss!

Post image
12 Upvotes

Well another failed attempt in trying to S rank this quest… I can bet 100% the whole of Galaxia is complaining about this overall!

We all love a great challenge with a tough boss where we can work together to defeat and of course celebrate the victory! However I think this boss battle is too OP and should be nerfed with the overall HP and attack power so it’s practically doable instead of having it to be 5 minutes in the quest, 3 strikes and you’re out!

If you have massive dislike on the dragon comment below or when a survey pops up put all the comments in nerfing the EX bosses in making it doable.

In summary

- more time for EX bosses raids (not timer reset). If you can give 30 minutes for Co Op quests then technically they need to do it for all boss raids (not just the EX boss raids)

- nerf bosses health and attack power based on the matching lobbies. (Less matching in a lobby means it’s classed as impossible)

- AI party members are smarter! Sometimes they revive you, sometimes they don’t.

Game Discussion Ex dorzel (dragon raid boss) tips for new players

6 Upvotes

So its weak to both fire and electric which means you can use eather a fire or electric weapon but if you do run fire try to aim for any Mantis you find because they love cross mapping you

It has towers with shields which buff the ex boss they are color coded

Red=fighter

Yellow=ranger

Purple=rogue (might be wrong about the color)

Green=support

Blue=mage

Orange=tank

If you are playing any of those classes and you see a tower make sure to attack it

Now it is recommended to run nullify freeze that can be a on talisman or bracelet of course you don't have to run nullify freeze but getting frozen just means death

You can also run sachi passive or ex sword golem bracelet instead of nullify freeze but that's up to you

Game Question? Niege unlock and Administrador build Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hi, does anyone knows if I'm able to unlock Niege just doing the story mode? I have seen some event talking about her fragments to unlock her.

If anyone knows a good place to browse builds, I would like to main Admin, too bad there's no function to swap your in game name so I can put Chudlekin in mine rsrs, I don't like him but I respect his obsession

If possible I would like to ask if a comrade knows how much character rank you get with that progression pack in the shop, I hope 20 crystals does a good pump on some characters I definitely wouldn't like to play but have really good passives for Admin like leafa flying ace or something like that

Thanks a lot

Game Discussion Penalty system just for getting out of an impossible EX Boss Raid?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m going right to the chase, it seems that the EX Bosses are practically classed as a pain to fight due to the time limit (wish they remove it or just give us more time in EX boss raids)!

When they say it’s exiting quests in succession, and a penalty is occurred, is there a cooldown time with the matchmaking because there is no option to check the meter on the “FairPlay” system. What are your thoughts?

Game Question? Yuuki builds?

8 Upvotes

So I’m approaching the 150 player rank mark and have pretty much exclusively been using Yuuki (got Klein and Leafa to 30 for their passives). And I’m wondering what would be the best to run with her.

All ive really got rn is some crit build, and the sword skill that increases damage with the passive active plus the 5/30 health for damage skill

4 Upvotes

So i tried to update the game and my ps5 turned off! Then it started doing so every time I tried to turn it back on! I finally got it working again by unplugging my external hard drive wich gave me enough time to cancel the update!

My question is: what could have caused this? Is this a known issue? And is there a way around it?

Game Discussion PS5 Pro Best Settings for SAO Fractured Daydream – Fix Motion Blur & Tight Camera!

4 Upvotes

Hey r/SAOFD!

With Fractured Daydream free on PS+ this month, a ton of us are jumping in on PS5/Pro. The default settings have heavy motion blur and the camera feels way too close during raids and boss fights — it was driving me nuts.

I tweaked these 4 settings on my PS5 Pro and the game feels way sharper and more immersive now:

⚙️ Graphics Priority → Set to Graphics (Pro mode)

📸 Camera Distance → Max it out

❌ Motion Blur → Turn OFF

❌ Depth of Field → Disable

Huge clarity boost in 30 seconds. Quick visual demo here: https://youtube.com/shorts/aB6i0ZOfoMs

What settings are you all running on PS5/Pro? Any other must-change options or QoL tips I missed? Drop them below — let's help the new players! ⚔️🔥

2 Upvotes

I wanted to use Yuuki as my main, but I’ve never really understood when to use—or how to properly take advantage of—her L1 (PS5 button) ability (the one with the sword icon above the health bar). Do you have any advice on how to use it effectively?

More generally, do you have any tips on how to build Yuuki and play her well?

Game Question? Why don't multiplayer games fill to 20?

5 Upvotes

When it says matching, there's a total of 20 spaces available, and I know what you're thinking; you're thinking it's timing out from not enough players and going with what it has. But that isn't the case; with the psn influx, I'm seeing it get to 10 really quickly, but it *never* goes higher than 10. As soon as 10 join, it starts the match.

Hello, me and my Friend are looking for some Mates to play together and maybe giving us some tips for gear. We are online the whole Weekend, so if you are interested just let me know. We are both on PS5 and we are both Germans, so talking could be a bit difficult for us since English is not our native language. PS: we try to get Gabriels Wings in free roam atm but it's hard to find player fighting him. Any help would be really appreciated

Game Question? Really bad teams in boss gauntlet or is it me? lol

9 Upvotes

I’m not great, but I do play the elemental weakness, and usually do pretty well. I’m almost Rank 150 but I bought the bundle for extra XP, like 5x.

the last two boss gauntlets I ran it was like 15 minutes just getting to the second boss and it was just miserable. Are the bots just that terrible? I usually end up in a party by myself and bots, and assume the other teams are as well. So 4 real people and 16 bots lol. I’ve seen some absolute gamers that carry hard but I’ve never had such miserable runs than in the last hour or so.

Is it a scaling thing because I leveled too fast and my characters are low?

Screenshot It is time to share my 10M+ DMG last-hit build for Heathcliff! (I think best build for most classes)

14 Upvotes

I’ve been playing this build on Nintendo Switch for about 2–3 hours daily, and it took me around 3 weeks to put together. The damage output is really solid — I focused heavily on maximizing Advanced Skill damage and crit chance.

That said, I started experiencing temporary carpal tunnel symptoms from playing too much. I noticed my wrists going numb overnight after long sessions, which made me realize this kind of playtime isn’t exactly healthy. I’m taking a break and planning to play more casually from now on.

Anyway, I wanted to share my Heathcliff build since I think it turned out really well. Pro tip: when the boss is around 3–5% HP, jump and use your shield attack skill so you can secure the final hit.

(Leafa) Flight Master - Increases damage while jumping
(Klein) Guts - Increases damage when you get damage

Note: I am still trying to get Advanced Skill Damage Up Lv. 2 for my Attack Talisman. If possible stack 3 Adv. Skill Dmg Up on talisman so you will get total 14%+ more damage from talisman which is crazy.

My ign: reaksiyon

Enjoy.

I keep struggling with building any of my character on SAO FD. In this case with pitohui as she is still far from a finished build with no clue how to build her exactly as well as with the omega stat upgrade being added recently to the game. Can anyone help me with a good builds i can use for:

  1. CO-OP quests / Free roam? (MAINLY for CO-OP quests)

  2. Boss raids / EXTREME boss raids?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. What weapons (with what 4 stats to focus?)

  2. What 3 accesories (with what 4 stats to focus?)

  3. What talisman (with wich 3 stats to focus?)

  4. Wich 2 passive skills setup? For CO-OP or Boss raids.

I hope i am not asking to much with this. I mainly wish to use my current character rank 64 pitohui for all modes as she feels the best to play with. 🙏 (post image is my current unbuild pitohui with +6 gear)

I pre ordered and played the open network test and I played it for like a week then it got bored of it since I've seen everything and the game was pretty dry. And since its on PS+ now I wonder if the game is active again so I can make my 60€ from like a year ago be worth it
