what weapons, based on strength, can you recommend?

[SparkyNation]

im pretty new to Death´s gambit and i rly enjoy the game. But my biggest problem for now is to find a weapon that suits me well. Because i like the feeling of beeing a tanky knight who swings big weapons that a normaly impossible to lift, i love to have big swords, hammers etc.

can you recommend some of the early weapons? is the greathammer that you can buy at the shopkeeper worth it ? And perhaps some tips for the beginning ?

Aldywin Halberd. I started Noble and never stopped using it even though I tried other weps. It's got great range, fast attack speed, and respectable damage.

The Crystal Greathammer that drops from those who use them in the Tundra is a great choice for ginormous weapons, but it can take a bit of luck to get it to drop

i tried the guardian ( if im not wrong) but the longsword is just .... meh. it has 1-2 moves and is very boring to play. i give it a shot. i like halberds too.

is it worth to get the halberd skills from the red knight? (dont say name so nobody gets spoiled)

Absolutely. Sky drop is invincibility for a couple seconds followed with great damage on the drop, and cyclone is practically a guaranteed stagger on even Amulvaro, who is hard af to stagger. Very strong abilities.

is there a reason why the helmet of the noble class gives you int ?

He seems to be a character that is meant to be able to switch to spells. He has high base int and his helm gives more (but tbh i stopped using it once I got the barbarian helmet)

good to know thx for the advice, any tips you can give for new players ? is the stone for the elevator worth it in the early game or is it more a waste of 1100 souls ?

Sure man. The stone elevator leads to a secret area that is muuuuch harder than the rest of the game. That being said, it has the single best feather in the game aside from another secret one, and all the enemies drop minimum 300 shards a piece. You will be fighting bosses up there as if they're normal enemies, be warned.

As for advice, learn the parry times. Makes the early bosses easy pz. Grinding Heroic bosses like Owl king and Tundra Lord for shards and Immortalite is a good idea for weapon and gear upgrades past level 5.
Try to do every secret area, even if they're hard. The rare loot is worth the difficulty. And finally, buy the crest of gaea. It can be used for at least 3 secret areas and it is not a consumable.

swarm and halberd

[SparkyNation]

ok i tried out the halberd i rly love this weapon its fast its strong and the charge attack hits hard, lets see what my journey will bring. even got the +5 version from a shopkeeper. my secondary weapon is a big crystal hammer from the tundra.

wish me luck

Halberd and greatsword are really good allrounders. Usually I pair faster weapon and slower weapon, e.g. axe + greatsword or greathammer. Every str weapon type has some good abilities though, so try them all eventually and find a good mix which you like.

That crystal greathammer is better than standard one because it has splash/aoe on the combo finisher and also it can freeze enemies that survived the initial pummeling. It can freeze even the owlking. Later you will find a character that teaches str abilities for greathammer, greatsword and axe.

Have fun!
