heide knights poise/guardian dragon fishy hitboxes

[ARSM™]

im just sayin man...pretty dumb

[Chinese Blin]

i get you, those knights, they are annoying, that dragon i don't mind, can be fun to poke at times... when it is not tail swiping you, sending you either to the moon or to the sea.

ive got that before i think, also velstadt (spelling wrong probs) is super hard to hit unarmed

Are you doing a boxing build? haha

There's no question about heide's knight poise. Just backstab-fish them to oblivion. About the dragon, I think it's fair to blame the low i-frames your character's rolls has, since you are at the very begining and most people don't level up adp at that point. So, yeah, level up adp at least to 20.

It's not that the enemies are hard or amything, they should have quirks they shouldn't

Like the dragon hitting me with fire while im behind its head

Or the pyromancers in lost bastille having weird collision around thier back left leg

Not game changing, just annoying

Ancient dragon's stomp is pretty broken. Heide knights are easy to backstab though

[Lu2]

they have high poise. use great club or backstab
or one handed r2 of smaller weapons

i was using the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ demon hammer thing lol, but even with backstabs they still have that bs 0.1 second build up attack

[TrueArchery]

Jokes on you, the windup for that attack is them not moving.

Fighting them is simple enough: high poise + high attack speed = free parry.
This gets you through every sword knight, spear knights can just be circled around and backstabbed when they do a lunge

Most dragons in this series seem to have fishy hitboxes. Ancient Wyvern from DS3 being the worst.
