Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
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!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Are there faster strength weapons in ER? The cliché is a slow, hard-hitting weapon, but in Lies of P, for example, you can build yourself a fast weapon that scales off motivity, STR equivalent in LoP, and be pretty much as fast as a standard "dex" weapon.
I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I'm sure there has to be a faster weapon that you could put a str scaling ash on and be fine.
Sort of as there aren't really any slow attacking weapons. Maybe the whip. Or magic.
Recovery times are the bigger factor for big weapons: they have much longer recovery times after attacking so you are punished for your aggression/greed rather than on light weapons.
But the big weapons are balanced in that they cause posture/stance breaks for ripostes much faster than lighter weapons, in so rewarding aggression/greed.
