Point in leveling anything but Prometheus?

[No' Name]

Seriously...

It has the most well balanced, stats I've seen thus far, and almost everything is C-B+ raiting. Why on earth would you level your character up using any other core?

I even have the pre-order Cores, and lvling them up seems like a waste.

Prometeus core is decent only in early. Late game sucks bad. You can't even get S in strength or dex, and have low mind and willpower.


Don't possess the game and said complete wrong ♥♥♥♥. Wow.

This is not correct.

Because the prometheus is the only code that can use blade dance, it is able to put out an almost infinitly stacking amount of damage, providing you can maintain your offensive.

You have fun swinging 20 times to kill something and have to keep dodging it longer and longer. I would rather just cast once, or hit it three times and not risk it being alive to hit my health.

Oh my god you guys, so much mis-information in this topic.

Your bood code doesn't impact what stats level up WHATSOEVER.
If you were to start fresh and level prometheus 100 times. Then start fresh and do the same for berserker and compare stats afterwards (while switching codes)

You would have IDENTICAL stats in both prometheus and berserker no matter what bloodcode you had equipped when you leveled (originally).

Another thing that people think that is blatantly untrue is that your veils increase your base stats.
They don't impact your base stats in any way whatsoever.

They only impact
Drain
Dark/Light Prayers
Resistance
Armor
and Weight

They have absolutely NO IMPACT whatsoever on your base stats or your weapon damage.

Prometheus does not have the B+ mind required to use Bridge to Glory, the strongest-by-far attack buff in the game (except for Final Journey with heavy weapons). You would need to equip 2 mind boosts to passives, which cuts too much into your build options, so it's simply not viable at all.

Isis is my current go-to. It has B+ mind, B+ willpower, B dex, and 30 ichor, allowing for a very strong combo sword+spell build with Bridge to Glory out of the gate. The only major weakness is the C strength, meaning you can't make much use of 2handed swords. A 1 handed sword and lightweight blood veil (I use Ivory Grace) works very well.

i'm going to have to disagree with that. two mind passives are definitely worh it on prometheus. 1h mastery + quick destruction + blade dance + bridge to glory is super good.

I use Io's, S+ mind for light build so prometheus is actually garbage for what I want. I prefer giant AOE one shots to clear out enemy packs in NG+, very satisfying to melt nearly everything with one spell, save for fat chicks...they really have some hp on them.

*Laughs in Queenslayer*

Promethus is garbage once you unlock the better blood codes. It will serve you good early game though. I run Eos S+ mind and everything melts

Bloodcodes all have different stat levels. It's very clear in the stat line and how it affects damage. What matters for using different codes is to inheret the gifts themselves, notably spells and passives. You mix and match passives to boost your selected blood code, for example I use a will power boost when using the Queen code to achieve a S in willpower, something promethius can never do.

[Washing Machine]

Gotta master everything tho.

[Rivazar]

Well because Prometeus is one possible build. F.e. many people like heavy weapon which goes badly with Prometheus. The same is with caster builds. People play what they like

[Formous]

I hate the heavy weapons. There is no finesse in them, and they just look ugly.

you do realise that 1-hand swords generally have terrible damage scaling right? there is literally no point in going further than an A rank with a 1-hander, any damage gained from doing so would be made up in 1 or 2 hits of blade flurry then multiplied for the rest of the combo.

My one handed Queenslayer sword is my preferred method for harvesting Ichor. 3 Ichor harvested a hit is quite nice for a caster.

why are people saying "you level up cores" lol? cores do effect your stats in strength, vit, mind, etc with a scale of S-E (S, A, B, C, D, E), S being the highest and E being the lowest. Ill say this one time....

THESE STATS DO NOT CHANGE!! EVER!!!!!
(....for the core lol)

these stats stay the same REGARDLESS of your level and gifts (skills). the stats will change based on the weapon, traits, and armor you equip.

with this Prometheus is a great core FOR ITS SKILLS (gifts). the core itself is at best a upgrade of fighter and falls to other cores for melee combat (ie Queenslayer or Dark Knight). the great thing though with the Prometheus core is that it allows you to equip generally anything you want with weight being your only issue unless you have the gift from Queenslayer that lets you equip heavy weapons and armor (increases your weight limit).

To clarifiy, each blood code has it's OWN stat scaling.

But leveling 100 times in one blood code is NO different (for permanent stats) then leveling 100 times in another blood code.
