All the ytbers saying its the best charm on their first playthrough cant play without it

I agree although I'm not sure whether there actually is bosses that qf doesn't open windows to heal, me personally I beat NKG for the very first time by using qf and finding the smallest of windows for healing, however I'm not sure about PV and Abs Rad

Steady Body is good, but Quick Slash is the best.

I found that the long death animations at the end of each boss were enough to heal at least 3 hp

One good way I found to master lethal mode was to beat all the duels without taking damage. I wouldnt count it as a win and would purposefully let them kill me if I got hit. After doing that all the other fights got easier. I could dodge and parry pretty efficiently.

I started on hard difficulty. Currently on act 2, the first island is almost liberated

I have 1 damage charm xD. But i never struggled with lacking damage so most of my charms give me health and that one that heals out of combat.

Ghost armor in ng+ is insane. Fortune charms means like 2-3 kills and the entire camp runs

I wear the Gosaku's armor in certain situations, but I really like the fully upgraded Kensei armor. Huge gains to resolve during fights so I can use abilities more against large groups.

What's the difference tho? What makes it so good in airplane levels?

Hopefully not much considering I was stuck tryna S rank stupid blimp girl for like 5 hours

Like seriously, heart parry + axe parry + smoke dash + auto supercharge feels like the game is fully unlocked in what you can do.

Air stages are so much more fun to S and the only downside is in normal boss fights trying to get the specific shot you want can be difficult but then you play the game in a way where you learn to properly use pretty much every weapon in every situation simultaneously AND THATS SO MUCH FUN

i wish it also adds maybe one of ms chalices abilities

for me its good for most bosses

I use it for the watcher nights as when they go to swing you just dash threw them and attack them the other side, same goes for when the roll at you

for either dung defender fight you can use it for quick damage but not often

brudeing malwork ( how ever you spell it ) its great for since you already have to either shade cloak dash threw it or go over it so its just some extra damage and adds less room for error

makes it possible to dash threw the 3 main nail masters ( window is small but useful at times )

its great for both hornet fights, soul warrior, and both broken vessel fight as when they dash you can dash back getting damage in and avoiding the attack ( really any boss that has a charge / dash like attack its useful for )

i use it during soul masters fight since it makes it easier to get away from his ground pounds in his last faze since it increases dash length and also when he does the cube of orbs you can jump up, slash, then dash free of danger and also heal quickly once with quick heal charm right before he sends the cube of orbs out and dash threw them to avoid being hit

that's just some but its very useful defensive and good at getting in small chip damage during most fights which adds up over time

plus most base enemy's in the game get super easy with this charm

I usually take it off for pure vessel. I hate when sharp shadow staggers him and I take damage because of it

I love it for pure vessel, but sometimes the extra range really screws me over

It's also good for path of pain speedruns

yep, and here's another thing about this: sharp shadow will actively make you worse at the game because it teaches bad habits. most people i've seen play who swear by sharp shadow never actually learn any proper punishes for boss attacks, because their literal only response to basically anything is "dash through boss" (and they often have no idea how to dodge things when shade dash is on cooldown)

this not only loses out on any actual damage you could have done while dodging properly, it also frequently leaves you in a worse position afterwards because of the increased dash distance. if you lose even a single nail swing because you have to get back into range after a shade dash, you've already lost literally all of the purported benefits of sharp shadow

oh, also, if you like abusing iframes to dodge attacks while doing damage at the same time, there's already something that fulfills that exact purpose, and which you don't need to equip a mediocre charm to even be able to use - it's called descending dark

I actually used it for Cala Maria, I was testing it out and I ended up beating her with that

Pacifist Forest Follies

It’s pretty good on run n gun

It's more like muscle memory, once you got the timing right it's a god tier weapon, nothing even come close,

of course there's some parts that it's not too great against but still 90% of the game you're gonna need it, it's how I got S rank on every boss

That's your opinion though 🤷🏽‍♂️

But isn’t it more difficult to parry the cards with the dash?

For no taking damage (because if you have more than 3 hp and you take damage, if you’re hp aren’t under 3 it counts like you don’t take damage)

Yeah in my dream😂

Bullion Cubes is much better.

Rlly tho? cuz im pretty good at it but im still finding it fun as heck.

Phantom Express is too gimmicky and slow paced for my taste and Glumstone's ENTIRE fight is wayyy too dependent on rng

Glumstone Giant is so fun and I feel like it has perfect challenge

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE

YEE-HAW!

I have an easier time with plane bosses than the rest of the bosses. The bird actually took me the least amount of deaths to beat outside of the first two Isle 1 bosses.

Spread, charge, super 1, and Ms. Chalice. I tried to get all 3 parries in the first phase (and 2nd if i couldn't) while abusing Chalice's invincibility roll in the 2nd phase. And the 3rd phase fuck bruh just dick around with charge and hope you hit em lmao.

Any plane boss I used the divine relic. Everything else was Ms. Chalice :>

Ain’t even hard to beat him S tier. What makes him bullshit is the fact that you get so little of a chance throughout the match to reach the parry meter it’s fully rng. If you don’t get at least 1 or more ideally 2 parries in the first phase then it’s pretty much not even worth continuing

For some reason I've gotten worse at her. I kept getting shitty RNG with parry spawns aswell :/
