Random martial arts same weapon

[Haydrion Rayel]

I created three characters, all three got the Polearm Podao, two of them with the martial art Dragon Flash and one got the Dragon slayer as martial art, I find this weird. I have seen some builds on youtube, but useless, because the martial arts are different for each player. No idea how to explain it .. same for the hatched, If you stick with a weapon with a martial art X you will get X also on the same weapon with a higher rank. I play on PS4. and the loading times are also long

Yep, the weapons' Martial arts are ALL RANDOM.

I found it very limiting that skills for each weapon are capped at 2 - and most skills are terrible and useless.

I pretty much played through the whole game never using those, just deflecting and strong attacking. Maybe they have a legitimate use and are helpful for some people, but I just ignored them.

That is the little problem, I want to build a good build and if I find a weapon with a martial art that I don't like, I will start over again.

Martial arts are fantastic when used at the appropriate times and against the right enemies. Some are fantastic evasion moves, some are great for elemental application, others just do a butt load of damage, like the hammer swing. A LOT of break damage and HP damage to boot.

Martial arts are amazing, borderline overpowered. They are random EXCEPT the orange ones. Those are fixed on that specific weapon. Like every azure crescent glaive will have soaring phoenix. Usually the orange ones are the best as well, so it becomes less of an issue.
