  • The threaded cane in Bloodborne is widely accepted to be a pretty garbage weapon. So what if we took away half of its moveset? Yeah, that'll fix it.
    Time to continue the SexyPartySolaire saga. Albeit slightly out of order.

    Fun fact Lemon: the Threaded Cane is actually really good! Fairly high Skill scaling, good gem slots, thrusting and rightious damage on the cane and insane reach and serration on the whip.

    Fun fact about the Beast Cutter - the Transformed Mode has as much stagger as the Transformed Kirkhammer, the R2's can pancake enemies and have ridiculous range. Both forms also get the Serrated damage bonus. If you have the stamina to be swinging it around and maybe put some Fire Gems in it, it's actually a really fun and viable weapon even with the poor scaling. It really shines in Chalice Dungeons imo, where nearly every room has a group of enemies.

    Hack for early game: use fire paper. Not only are most enemies beasts, the serration on the whip increases the paper dmg as well vs beasts! Its too good and you spent all of the early run avoiding using one of the best features of using a whip. The best is probably high visceral from bumping skill but i believe you did not allow yourself to shoot to parry so it is understandable.
    But the bread and butter of the cane is using fire papers thanks to serration and viscerals. Little tip, the whip form increases skill scaling and as a result increases the visceral attack since it scales with skill.
    The weapon is actually strong once you get fire papers and if you use viscerals, 2 things you did not do on this run.
    It was however very entertaining.

    The threaded cane actually became my favorite dex (sorry, skill) weapon in the game. The range of the whip is just too good to not love in a game filled with angry flashmobs. The cane part is neat too, but I definitely depended on the whip way more when I used it. Except for parrying of course, but that goes without saying. Thing gets way too little credit.
    Also, the ladder joke cracked me up wide open. That was hilarious.

    • @Legacysong2012
      @Legacysong2012 3 месяца назад

      What do you mean except parrying? Parry+whip form is an amazing combo (you can’t backstab in whip form, but you can visceral after parry), since cane scales with Skill, as do serrated and visceral attacks, and they all stack. Do it to a boss, especially beast type bosses while using fire paper or fire gems, you’ll take a huge chunk out of their health bar

    I honestly think the threaded cane is underrated.

I almost always pick it to start with considering how easy the saw spear is to get.

      I think it's considered bad because of the low damage in the early game, which leaves a sour taste in some players' mouths. But it has better scaling than the other starting weapons, the most range of any weapon in the base game with its whip mode, it's the only weapon in the game to have both the serrated modifier and the righteous modifier, it has thrust attacks that are great for killing kin, all its attacks are pretty speedy letting you do long combos which Bloodborne rewards you for with higher AR modifiers and it's just so darn stylish to boot. So while the early game can be a little rough, overall it's my personal favourite weapon in Bloodborne.

    Although I'm more of a "LHB/HMS/big slow weapon/highest possible damage per hit" fan myself, the whip weapons definitely don't get enough love. They've got really fun movesets, and it's a shame that the build you made restricted the ability to show off the beast cutter a bit more, it's a great combo of whip and big boy damage when you get it upgraded and fitted with the right gems. Good way to show off what many players see as a joke weapon/a joke transformation of an ok weapon!

      The Threaded Cane is a very good weapon, at the very start it does fall short of the other two options due to it's low base, but it has incredible scaling, and fairly quickly catches up and becomes quite strong. Along with a very versatile moveset and serrated damage bonus on the whip and righteous on the cane as well as some nice thrusting attacks, means you have a very solid weapon

    I played this game in 2018 for the first time and well… it went very portly, first souls like game ever. I’ve recently played through DS1 Remastered 3 times btw I love that game. After playing through I remembered my sons mother had Bloodorne and man can I fucking appreciate it now I can actually play now. I got good I recognized the difference in aggression from both and it’s just an amazing game. One of my absolute favorites in the series and it really makes me excited to play the rest, even when it can take hours to beat just one boss. Also love this channel everything you put out is so entertaining, I quit nicotine and found it pretty hard but playing DS1 and watching these vids has been an absolutely massive help. I never comment on videos but just felt like this channel is awesome and deserves so much love and appreciation I love the soulsborne community and this comment section is where we all are it’s pretty kool.

    Your "off brand solaire" comment is more on point than I think most people realize. Valtr isn't just "BB's Solaire" because he's the leader of the coop faction, it's also because he's actually probably the only "leader" character who actually cares about people. Almost everyone in BB is either barely struggling to survive on their own, or has abandoned their humanity in search of greater purpose, either religious or eldritch, however the League is the one faction that genuinely and whole heartedly puts humanity first. Everything they do is to help humankind become better by ridding us of what they believe corrupts us and causes evil in the world. Even if the rest of the world see them as "Madmen raving about invisible vermin in our blood", they know that others can't see the Vermin and don't fully understand what their goals are. No matter what happens, even when the rest of the city rejects you, the League is there to help you, and even help those hateful people who ridicule them. For the League, they are helping humanity better itself, and will suffer through anything if it means saving people.
    "Do not expect the world to grasp our work, but remember, the confederates will always have my blessing, and each-other, always. --- My confederate. Promise me you'll crush all Vermin, to rid us of our impurities, for the sake of our fellows. All blood-stained hunters of The League."
    He's the perfect "bloodborne version of Solaire. A madman absolutely, but if you can get underneath the ranting and raving about blood and vermin, he's a genuinely compassionate person who uses a shared desire of many Yharnamites to foster a community and help improve the lives of people.
