bro is this nigga supposed to be two tier above any other character in the game
yeh
He's held back by equipment. Even moreso than recluse's limitation to staves/seals, ironeye is really limited to just bows/xbows and there aren't that many good ones. He is essentially just playing on godmode though, your teammates take all the aggro while you debuff the boss and slowly but surely reduce its HP to 0 for free with no player skill required. He is pure consistency which makes him really reliable but also kind of boring. That said, he isn't better than Wylder in pubs or Recluse (assuming your team isn't completely retarded).
>>729699669Dormant power discovers Katanas exists.
>>729699669His assassin's mark debuff is also beyond broken and when you have the extra charge to his skill you can keep it up permanently.
anyone have any tips for everdark balancers? i play only with randoms and im struggling to get them past the last 1/3 of their hp. most of the time i just run out of flasks after getting poked by a spear in the back. any nightfarer recs and relic builds would be cool too
>>729699763his dex is good but executor's is even better and so is his arcanethere's no reason to play katana ironeye when you could just play katana executor
>>729699996Save ults for second phase opener with all the blood onesRun from the worm, jump its attacks, stay very far from the flower boom ultimate attackLet them run at you one by one and chunk them down with your team, they will eventually start to pile up on you but if you're consistent on DPS they should transform back into the worm againRepeat
>>729700295Ironeye has an invincible dodge that also debuffs any enemy to take more damage
>>729699996Second phase plays out extremely similarly to firstIGNORE THE WORM, RUN AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLEThen you just spawncamp the bloody balancers as they appear
Duchess is worse
>>729700517I'm not saying he's bad, just that he's pretty pigeonholed into bows. There's definitely less variety in his gameplay than other classes, especially magic ones like duchess and recluse.
just did regular balancers, one of the most cracked runs we were level 15 with time to space, full castle, double invader camp. And get this? It was Depths 2 with a level 2 attempt at Red StoneGravity Swordbrothers Evergaol gone wrong we all went down, went to level 1, beat them and came back hard.When randos unite, Nightreign gets just as exciting as those best souls moments.
>>729700991Nice, now its time you face them on their period
broken buggy shit game /s
>Caligo Raid2/5 I don't like it, but you can "take cover" (pray ice doesn't hit you) and you only need to one tap him>Balancers Split up raid4/5 I actually love this, it filters shitters and you can have everyone go down once and the buff (reoccuring revives) is so good it doesn't matter how long it takes to complete. Better day one imo and dont bother fighting the surrounding mobs>Tricepholos triple dog raid1/5 did the devs play this? Thank GOD they nerfed the mini hellhounds those were tapping any non Raider/Guardian character. I don't like to ignore it, but that currently is decent strategy although we tend to go for it>depths 2/3 shitter w/ 360 hours this was my summer game
>>729700971Recluse is by far my favorite to play as. Half my runs I don't even find any decent incants or run out of mana too quickly early/mid game so I just beat the shit out of everything with claws. Her finisher is god damn useful when everyone else is dead with three bars or you just want to finish the last of the boss's health bar without worrying about getting careless
>>729698204i don't know if he's supposed to be but he is. absolute glue eater character. the most boring one to use too.
>>729701572>favorite>can't even get her name right
Fuck this guy. Worst everdark boss in the entire game
>>729701823Oh wow, yeah I totally fucked that up. How embarrassing.
>>729699669you're playing him wrong, you're supposed to use a dagger in the offhand and use his ability to dodge attacks and mark enemies
>>729701823>>729702013Revenant and Wylder are the best characters to meI love them
>>729701839He's not bad unless you have a guardian
>>729698204>guy who can shit out damage from far away in a game designed for melee combat is OPjust like MH
>>729701839whats so bad about him?t. got carried
>>729700295>there's no reason to play katana ironeye when you could just play katana executormark alone is reason enough to never pick executor over melee ironeye
I usually play Ironeye, but when I don't, and someone else picks him, I'm lucky to see them mark an enemy once during an expedition.It's the most basic part of his kit, and these people refuse to utilise it.Like playing Guardian and throwing away your shield.
>tried to go poison/rot guardian so I can at least help with damage ticks while tanking>it's shitbros...
>>729706207just played a game rn with another random ironeye, i dont think he used mark once, luckily i had the double mark relic so i could keep the mark up pretty much the whole time on bosses
>>729706483just use the respec relic if you want to do damage
>>729705167He has absurdly high damage on a bunch of attacks that have questionable/lingering/massive hitboxes, plus not an everdark specific issue but his focused attack when he splits up is probably the hardest multi-enemy thing to deal with in the game since they're all so huge and move around so quickly that it's impossible to keep all three on screen during it.
>>729701839He's actually the best, and a good Guardian means you basically auto-win.
>>729707318>that zerg rush attack where they all dash around and the main one leaves a trail of fireI'm convinced the hitbox is utterly broken and it can't be avoided if he targets you with it. You can be completely out of the animation and the flame burst still hits you
>>729706207Last 2 Ironeye randoms I had didn't use their ults like everThe one only used his on the final boss, me and my friend were completely puzzled
>>729699669bro just upgrade your starter bow to purple, get a rain of arrows relic if you need
>>729701839Libra is worse, Libra is always worse, fuck everything about that shitty ass fight
>>729707318that he doesthough i think i have seen a guy playing raider that was taking minuscle damage from his attacks somehow, i think he might have just stacked a pile of fire and physical resistancei never played a tanky heavy weapon class before but im feeling like doing that now
>>729698204>bro is this niggaare you black OP?
>>729699996It's not really consistent especially with randoms, but at the end of the big worm phase when it's making a big flower, if everyone beats the shit out of it you can do big damage and interrupt the move then
>>729706207Something else is that Ironeye's point blank R2 does higher DPS than single shots. If the boss becomes staggered or otherwise locked in an animation it's very easy to dash in and refresh the mark and then R2 them a couple times for some extra damage, but I think I am the only ironeye I have ever seen actually do it.
>>729701839Nah, he's cool, just hard.Now evernigger LIBRA... he's both hard as fuck AND not fun to fight at the same time. Shame, since he does look cool as hell, and I like his merchant/balance gimmick.
>>729700991Damn, the UI in Elden Ring looks pretty bad.
>>729698204Seppuku+imbue frost+"Improves dexterity and arcane at the cost of HP" on Executor is giga busted. Try it out
ED balancers is easier than normal balancers change my mind
>>729715464Probably not, normal ones are quite passive, I think I only have trouble dealing with the pain one if its the mace variantAnd in Depths? ABSOLUTELY not
