Usually when I play soulsborne game I use strength builds when I feel like an easy mode, and dex builds when I want to have fun and mess around. With NoR it feels the complete opposite. Dex weapons shred bosses with insane amounts of damage and barely any end-lag. Strength weapons however, can't keep up in terms of damage so generally there is no reason to build around them.... Aside from the fact it's so fun and satisfying charging up a massive hit on an approaching enemy and seeing their health bar deplete.
I think I'm gonna do a few different playthroughs with different builds, because this game actually feels more diverse than Salt and Sanctuary, one of the golden standards for souls likes imo. I've been using the dual swords from the female inquistor boss and they're very fun with the ring that speeds up attacks, what've ya'll been enjoying? I'll be trying the gun from the spider boss next, any reccomendations for repeat playthroughs?
