    FAQ: "I'm not doing as much damage"
    Unfortunately there's lots of delicate factors to this build you can get wrong if you don't know what to do. If you're not dealing as much as I am in these clips, it could be one or more of the following factors:
    -You're not deflecting. You need to block right when the attack hits you (similar to Sekiro if you've played it) in order for it to count as a deflect. You'll know it counted thanks to a small visual/audio indication and you'll take less stamina/HP damage than usual.
    -Royal Knight's Resolve ran out. The buff needs to be reapplied every attack and only lasts like 10 seconds, so take too long and you'll be missing an +80% boost. Same goes with all your buffs, they're not gonna last forever, and the deflect buff can run out too if you take too long between deflects
    -The attack didn't count as a counterhit. The enemy moveset is a big factor for whether or not you can perform a counterhit, and sometimes it won't be possible even with a fast guard counter weapon.
    -I have 20 Scadutree blessings in the video, so keep in mind that a 0 blessing character would do about half this damage to the DLC bosses, which is why I included non-dlc clips as well.
    Keep in mind 26k is not a value you can get all the time, but if using it right, you can get a lot of damage all the time and upwards of 26k if you're lucky. I strongly suggest checking out my Backhand Blade video I uploaded after this one, since a bug fix made those even stronger for Guard Counters and you don't need to rely on coutnerhits anymore.

    You don't necessarily need to deflect 4 attacks to get to the highest boost. A lot of boss attacks are strong enough to boost you up multiple tiers at a time! I'm not sure what the exact logic behind it is, but it's a nice feature. It probably bases it off the system that determines blocking knockback strength.

    Also to anyone reading this, if you don't wanna dump TONS of points into stamina to make it more like Sekiro (cuz that's the one drawback of deflecting which Sekiro obviously doesn't have, a stamina bar) than you should deff equip the two headed turtle talisman. Makes a world of difference on a deflect build like this imho.

    Hmm I need to try this with the backhand blades and a shield because the guardcounter of backhand blades is also very slept on since it does 2 hits which will benefit royal knight's resolve, is the fastest guardcounter and has a lot of forward momentum. Only issue is that the curved sword talisman doesn't work on backhand blades for some reason. EDIT: I just tested the curved sword talisman and it seems they DO work with the curved sword talisman!

    • @AlphaSeagull
      @AlphaSeagull  4 месяца назад +2

      Yeah originally when I had the idea for this kind of build, I was using backhand blades. Its 1h guard counter has two hits which is pretty good already, but the 2h guard counter has FOUR hits (who's idea was this) and would be insanely strong if the guard boost wasn't abysmally bad

    You can do all of what's explained in this video with the Carian Thrusting Shield and be WAAAY more safe. Aside from the fact that it gets better defensive stats, it also gets block frames after a guard counter so even those openings that aren't normally "safe" become viable with it.

      This is correct, but you won't get as much damage in a single guard counter that way

    Took me 10 or so tries but ya this worked on consort radahan, I wasnt getting the full boost because i cut out some stuff. Radahan took me tries than any boss in any of their games. I know its a "cheese" but it feels less dirty when its not exploiting a glitch or something they forgot about. Plus he could like two shot me and did (many times.)

    You should use RUclips's caption system if possible, because people can tune it to their needs, and toggle it on/off.

Also also, great video it was super interesting and I'll probably use this build it looks dope as hell lol

    You are mistaken about the counter hit window, it starts from when the enemy attack gets a hitbox and only lasts a few frames after the enemies' attack hitbox disappears(simply a few frames after the swing portion of the attack) it doesn't last for the entire recovery animation, or it'd be too broken because recovery animations on many attacks last several seconds. The only way to land a hit during that window is to either strafe, tank or shield poke. By the time you roll, backstep or guard counter, the counter hit window is long gone, so your only chance to get a counter hit is if they do another attack right after.

    • @AlphaSeagull
      @AlphaSeagull  4 месяца назад

      This would explain a lot of the inconsistency with guard counters and whether or not they count as counterhits. I will say that hitting it with guard counter is definitely possible and I've done it plenty of times, but you gotta be really quick with it and it's unreliable/impossible for a lot of moves
