motivity builds

[Jurro]

anyone got some good motivity builds so far ive used holy sword, the big pipe wrench and exploding pickaxe so far i thinkmy fav tho is a custom weapon i made (circular eletric chainsaw blade + greatsword of fate handle with a motivity crank to get the scaling to A)

Honestly, the great part about this game is the scaling is the only thing you have to worry about. So you can have a str based rapier and perforate people or you can be the stereotype "unga bunga" Chad.

Honestly, I used greatsword of fate blade way too much.

Acidic Cleaver (or whatever it's called) is actually amazing for physical builds. It does nearly as much damage as holy sword, then you slap that on the Krat baton handle...

Honestly, the big thing about this game is the handles. Thanks to there being no stat requirements for weapons we have true freedom.

It was then I realized that building Balance is the strongest way to play the game.

I'm using pipe wrench + saw cleaver and I absolutely love it.

The baton handle + anything. My favorite so far is the bone cutting saw and the baton handle. Good range and fast.

You could also do the Mjolnir hammer and baton handle to make a thor build.

You used the other two suggestions I had with the exploding pickaxe handle and circular saw blade.

If you don't mind a B in motivity after using a crank try out the dancers curved sword handle.

Fire Axe + Bramble Curved Sword for a nifty little hatchet.
Both fire Axe and bramble charge r2 gives a lot of distance.

I still like the holy ark's alternate form. Can just switch to heavy mode to completely demolish bosses once they're down.

Bone-cutting Saw Blade + Dancer's Curved Sword Handle.

This combo has everything - damage, range, speed. So far haven't found anything that beats its performance.

Also a big fan of Seven-Coil Spring Sword for its moveset, but it does fall behind a bit in terms of damage.

Bone Cutting Sawblade + Greatsword of Fate handle for me. What I like the most about this combo is being able to pull off perfect guard on block for those attacks that are just too tight on parry window or for attacks I am unfamiliar with - like boss doing red attack that I've never seen before on second phase. So far this weapon has saved me more times than I'd like to admit.

I enjoy my combo of Bone-cutting sawblade and Krat police baton. Decent reach, decent damage, good move set and reasonable attack speed. Charged heavy attack is the star of the moves as it has long reach and goes off quick.

You can get any weapon with initial B scaling to A by using appropriate crank, which let you focus on other stats rather than pushing two damage scaling stats up. I also like to invest into some Vigor as stamina usage with heavier weapons and guarding is quite high.

This combo reduces your damage as Bone-cutting sawblade does slash damage while the handle focuses on stab. It is hard to quantify how much is the reduction but the game indicates it is a reduction by downward arrow in the damage type section.

I like Greatsword of Fate handle Fable art but moved away from it. There is another handle that has the same art, not sure which one but you can try that one.

I don't know. The only alternative I have to get Absolute Defense is from Coil Mjolnir Handle and the attack speed of that is much slower.

An update concerning the new combo I'm growind fond of: Live Puppet Axe Blade + Explosive Pickaxe Handle.

Obvious downsides are not-so-great attack speed (though running light attack is decent) and a hefty stamina consumption, which makes it hard to use against bosses and some mini-bosses. Everything else, though - perishes on the spot. A well-spaced charged heavy stops even elites in their tracks.

A niche combination, but damn is it fun.

bone cutting saw blade + fire axe handle ..the V shaped normal slice attacks plus the overhead fast downward chop for the heavy has been my favorite. helps out when in open space for normal hits and tight spots like hallways for the heavy attack. the acidic crystal spear handle is S rank advance that scales nice with MOT but i havent found a good blade to pair with it yet
