This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Definitely the most stylish Katana in Elden Ring. (Sword of Night is a close runner-up)
I finally made a build just for the sword of night and flame the last time I played and I didn't really like it that much. It looks awesome tho. Mostly I just hate how many stats it uses to get decent damage from scaling. I felt like it's only super good if you build entirely around using just that one weapon, but it's still outclassed mid to late game anyway by a lot of other straight swords.
Sword of Night and Flame is so busted and stylish, but also endlessly stat hungry. You can switch between optimizing for the Int and Faith skill by finally spending all your Larval Tears. Also only use the main weapon for trash mobs, for Boss fights it's really all in the Skill.
I'm unsure if it is ever truly outclassed in the Straight Sword Class. Spamming Square Off or Power-stanced attacks, is a whole other play style. But you can stack so many boost, especially in the end-game, on top of the two Skills for the ^Sword^ ^of^ ^Night^ ^and^ ^Flame^, that you one or two shot so much stuff.
