Comment by MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.website on [Discussion] What are your top 5 favourite weapons in any soulslike and how would you rank them?

I’m just an elden ring pleb, so here goes:

Bloodhound’s Fang: Insane stat scaling, great bleed buildup, great moveset, and top-tier ash of war (I love free aiming the followup in pvp)
Bloody Pike with Braggart’s Roar paired with Redmane Greatshield with Barricade Shield: Super fun for coop on promised consort radahn.
Antspur/Frozen Needle paired with Silver Mirror Shield: Swap between weapons to buildup rot and cold, light roll when you don’t want to block because these items are almost weightless.
Lordsworn’s Longsword with Square Off, using both hands: maybe Square Off is just OP, but it is very fun to use.
Bastard’s Stars: Charged R2 winds up the ball-and-chain like a cartoon character winding up a punch. Hits like a truck, especially the Ash of War, and especially against golem-type enemies.

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre “soulslike”.

Given Lemmy’s size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don’t exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity’s sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
