Gameplay tips and progression |
To get the Penetrating sword it is available in 1-3 and 1-4. Start off by trying to finish all of Stonefang Tunnel. The reason is for the blacksmith and the red hot demon soul from the Flamelurker so you can upgrade the Penetrating sword (requires colorless demon soul). Try to get them from the crow, 1-1 and through the primevil demons in each world in pure black tendency. |
Deadly Penetrator SL 121
the penetrator sword only has an A rating from DEX, req's 22 str, and has 90 base damage, correct? The hiltless has an S rating for DEX and deals 121 base damage… that is a 31 point difference+what you gain from the S over the A rating. Curse weapon would amplify that difference even further…. the penetrator sword is cool to use, but it doesn't come close to the damage of a BBS. When you split your damage between magical and physical, you do less damage than if it were purely magical or purely physical because you take TWO defense values into account rather than one. For example, the sharp war scythe on my dex build, unbuffed, has an attack rating of 310. My dragon mirdan deals 318, yet it does less damage than the scythe against an opponent with equal defense against physical and fire. the principle applies as well to magical damage (magic damage done by the BBS is further increased by light weapon, which is what makes them so effective per swing). It's a nice idea, but your VIT is the same as a BBS and you do less damage unless you use curse weapon and the hiltless/sharp weapons.
1. Go to SL 124.
2. Start off Temple Knight and nuke Magic down to 6.
3. Put VIT at 45.
Boom. Instant DEX build with a variant STR for 1H penetrating sword and can effectively melée now.
Also, drop the iCat and switch to ToB (cracked due to 6 magic). Then slap your DEX weapon of choice in your second right-hand slot for backup.
Other than that, looks fine.
