Tranquil Slice

[CannedZephyr]

Hey, i've used tranquil slice on 3 or 4 builds now, different blood codes on all of them, buffs and no buffs, and it does 0 damage.
I decided to look it up after today doing it again, and it is supposedly one of those big 1 shot moves, i thought there might've been some kind of ichor thing, maybe stamina reduction and focus reduction on the enemy.
I clearly am missing something, or my game is bugged?; or is there a bug with tranquil slice?

Just going to copy a quote I saw someone post online about this (note I cannot verify, I never really used this skill):

If you're talking about Tranquil Slice, it counts as a ranged attack. If you want to increase the damage, use Crimson Longsword or any weapon that has Mind and Willpower scaling as that also buffs the damage. As far as buffs go, Adrenaline and Ranged Impact increase the damage of Tranquil Slice. Bridge to Glory however does not. It's a very strange gift in regards to what buffs the damage and what does not. As far as weapons go, Crimson Longsword (Not enduring crimson) is the best bet for increasing the damage output of it. No other weapon deals as much damage with Tranquil Slice as CL.

Here is another video for additional info in case useful but note I didn't watch it to see how useful it is as it is a little longer. I just found it while looking for some quick info:

If you're simply looking for the best 1-shot dmg, not good sustained spammable dmg then this is the strongest https://codevein.wiki.fextralife.com/Steadfast+Strike
You can just use the sword from Skull King boss (forgot name) with it, or others, and hit 99,999 dmg easily for 1-shot builds.

If yours is doing very literally exactly 0 dmg, yes it is a bug.

If yours is doing 0 dmg, as in not literally but actually "low damage", then no and you need to re-read my original post.

No, I read quite fine you just did not. By the way, I'm not the one acting arrogant here. I gave you straight responses and at no point did I act arrogant, however, look at how you are responding while asking for help... Pure arrogance.

Obviously, unless you're doing elemental dmg (which you are not) 0 dmg would be a bug as they can't stack defense like you can and reduce it to zero otherwise they would be literally unkillable and your other weaker basic attacks deal dmg. If this is happening OBVIOUSLY it is a bug.

People usually use the claim "zero dmg" for what is, in reality, "low damage" which is why I gave you an extremely freaking detailed response and multiple resources, going well out of my way when you clearly did not deserve it.

Maybe don't bite the hand of the person going out of their way to give you detailed responses next time.

and honestly, here

fire cat boss; no dmg, animation appears above the boss 2/3 the time (100% the time when staggered)
queens knight reborn; no dmg, appear to the side, or above the boss, about 1/5 or 25% the time
no dmg to
canoneer, butterfly, and (oliver collins; boss only half the time)
4 diff blood codes
roughly same builds, just buffs and TS

[CannedZephyr]

and on most knight-type enemies, it appear behind them, or on them, no dmg.
small enemies take damage, training dummy takes damage; 50% the time
