Someone will eventually time stamp ts

33:31 notification timing is amazing

Rakshasa has the exact same hyper armour on all attacks, not just the Weapon Skill, as long as you are in the attacking animation. The Skill has longer attack frames though, so it's easier to exploit it. Good weapon, still inferior to the regular Great Katana on everything except smaller enemies that stagger with the weapon skill. If you want DPS, you just use repeating thrust/blood tax. If you want (more functional) hyper armour with higher DPS, you just use wild strikes. That's why Raksasha is basically the only katana/great katana that is worth powerstancing. You can use these longer attacking frames for exploiting the hyper armour.

Would you say Euporia is top 25 or top 10 now?

Land of shadow could have been so goated

Youwy's got Steven, I always test stuff on the Cleanrot Knight outside of Prayer Room, can't bring myself to name them, though, how cruel 🙂

I just used the euporia against Radagon and it still felt super strong even with 80% resistanve

I could have a buddy drop the Black Steel Twinblade so I can power stance it but that weapon alongside the Euporia might work well too, just a little awkward to have a weapon with a sick unique skill while power stancing because it's hard to build for both consecutive hits AND spamming weapon skills lol

Does anyone know if overhead stance works with sunflower weapon

the goat

I really hope they don't nerf Red Bear Hunt. I don't feel like it is OP, not even in the slightest. Savage Lion's Claw does as much damage as it (even more if you bleed infuse a Greatsword) and it is actually safer to use
