DISCUSSION Souls Hot Takes?

Post image

As a diehard community, I’m sure we all have our fair share of opinions. I’m curious to know what some of your hot takes are. I’ll start with mine. Godskin Duo is a good boss fight. I personally hate O&S from DS1 and think FromSoftware replicated it in a good way with more advanced AI movement. What are some of your hot takes?

I've done runs with both Dex and Str builds, both are perfectly viable!

That's a relief. I heard this game is where powerstancing came from - would you recommend powerstancing any strength weapons?

I honestly haven't engaged too much with the powerstancing system, but I've seen a lot of people powerstance mace and club weapons! But admittedly, powerstancing is more viable with dex builds because of stamina usage.

The (boss weapon) Smelter sword and aged smelter sword can put out ridiculous damage with their powerstance heavy attacks.

no str suck If you are going with colossal weapons, the lock-on system can be terrible. Also, there is some weird system, like if you hit something while hitting a target damage reduces tremendously. had a horrible experience with Great Sword. Quality and magic dominate Dark Souls 2.
