nope; it’s another quality build weapon (sort of). weapon damage scales with dex (then strength); Ghostflame Ignition scales purely with int.
& I like it; this is the look! I am engladdened!
to my shame then, Helen used the Zweihander for the entire playthrough & fell into being Yet Another Quality Build.
the build though, otherwise as planned, works splendidly (her Mimic Tear is virtually unkillable) but I was ultimately disappointed in how the overall playthrough turned out as a result of those unforeseen deviations.
Agnes works part time at TGI Fridays (or used to, anyway) & sees Dung Eater as maybe more of a(n unideal) role model; someone she has grown to look up to precisely & only because of his outsider status.
being called to the Lands Between is the low fantasy equivalent of a bullshit jury duty summons for Agnes & so she’s mostly just planning to wreck shit; because fuck Marika & her fucking religion & the weird horse it rode in on & fuck (mostly) everyone else too.
Janurary (was my 6th character—& ugh, the apparent implication there was not purposeful wtf!) was lightly based off of Rennala's sweetings;
maybe she somehow made it to graduate school, I don’t know, but I decided that her goal (as a perpetual student) was to follow through every questline that unlocked every possible ending & then do what was necessary … to choose just the default Age of Fracture ending.
voila. this build is, practically speaking, less damage but I honestly dgaf;
the weapon itself falls short of expectations in a myriad of ways, but it’s got better reach than the Guardian's Swordspear (which I’ve been calling the Tree Spear—which is actually a different thing & spelled as "Treespear"—but every point I've made of it [the swordspear] still stands) and it has a really fun weapon art without the int-based scaling that the ash of war version has.
I think.
June is a soldier of fortune who, in her later years, developed a deep affection for the arts; she was to tour the Lands Between so that she could finally view every painting by the Wandering Artist & then visit as well the depicted landscapes in person.
I originally wanted to build around Loretta's War Sickle but that’s such a late game find that I built a dex-knight instead, farming a Tree Spear (which has the same moveset!) early on in the Weeping Peninsula.
Poor Persepone; the moment she arrived in Limgrave, she was set to farming a dagger with quickstep off some rando foot soldiers & then rode her weird horse out to an Abandoned Cave in the Caelid wilds where she retrieved the Venomous Fang and the Serpent Bow (this was really really hard to do!)
From there her life was largely spent punching (& missing...much of the time) and generally getting knocked around.
It was a frustrating game.
She didn't sleep because of the hissing behind the manor's walls 😂
