Blackveil Val Hazaak is just a better Val Hazaak

[jrubz]

More fun to fight, and its mechanics punish you for being in the wrong place rather than just existing in the same room as him.

Vaal Hazaak both Black Veil, and normal, are the easiest Elder Dragon's you could possibly fight. If you don't learn what the Blackveil does in just one battle, you deserve the deaths you rack up, because it's just that easy....

Namielle is by far the easyest :)

Nah Namielle is easyer to fight then Vaal cause vaal's new moves are actually quite tricky.

Vaal Hazak is astonishingly easy with charge blade+fire lol, but i enjoy his fights so much even his AT version back then..

[I predict the past]

Design wise: Blackveil
Gameplay wise: The standard Hazak
At least for me. I'm enjoying the standard Vaal more.

There's no objectively hardest monsters, but I think I'd say Namielle is easiest. Many of her attacks are a bit too easy to deal with.

BV Vaal is great though, far better than standard Vaal.

Like 80% of Vaal Hazak's lethality comes from his annoying status effect, which can be a pain to deal with and makes the fight take longer.

However, just using the miasma charm or whatever completely nullifies the threat and the fight just becomes a stomp. Personally I don't like that so much of his 'threat' is weighted in his status effect.

Play AT Vaal then, you can't nullify his aura.

I did, and I thought he was easy, just very tedious. Though it took me longer than most of the other AT fights as I had to keep backing off to deal with the status effect, either by making him come to an area away from the clouds or using nulberries after getting afflicted. Was very boring.

[Noway]

I found him the hardest because I never adapt my gear to the monsters I hunt. I just didn't know what to do when he started throwing his ♥♥♥♥ on the ground everywhere, there was just no space left to fight him.

With the right jewels he is a joke though.

If you are using spread HBG, Namielle wings are "Big Training Pole".

[Macho Chunko]

Nah he's the same just worse, still a punching bag with more annoying aoe than before.
