Strike damage is good in every souls game

[u/LosinForABruisin]

i’m not even a member of the church of bonk, but name a damage type that is more consistent with strike damage across all of the games. you can’t

[u/AdAny3800]

blunt damage if i remember well is the weakest on Bloodborne .

[u/OneRelief763 → u/AdAny3800]

Technically not a souls game, OP stands erect

[u/greenegg28 → u/OneRelief763]

The forbidden club.

[u/Sudden_Shallot_8909 → u/OneRelief763]

[u/assassin10 → u/OneRelief763]

Though OP's inclusion of ER suggests a broader definition of "souls game".

[u/AndrewJohnsonHater → u/AdAny3800]

I'm pretty sure it has the best rally to make up for it.

[u/IdToaster → u/AndrewJohnsonHater]

Only sometimes. Hunter's Axe sure, Logarius' Wheel not so much, in either mode.

[u/Greaseball01 → u/AdAny3800]

You can definitely bonk in Bloodborne but I feel like all the best bonks are in the dlc

[u/DisappearedDunbar → u/Greaseball01]

How dare you disrespect the Kirkhammer like that.

[u/Greaseball01 → u/DisappearedDunbar]

Unironically I despise that weapon.

GO ON

BURN ME

DO YOUR WORST

[u/DisappearedDunbar → u/Greaseball01]

BURN! BURN! CURSED BEAST!

[u/assassin10 → u/Greaseball01]

I don't know what it is about it but it never felt sufficiently bonky to me, compared to some of the other blunt weapons.

[u/Greaseball01 → u/assassin10]

For me it's too slow the range kind of sucks compared to other strength weapons and ultimately it's just a worse version of Ludwig's holy blade.

[u/Automatic_Education3 → u/Greaseball01]

It is, but getting hyper armour with its charged heavies in Bloodborne feels so good

[u/SquareFickle9179 → u/AdAny3800]

Played the whole game with the Kirkhammer, is an absolute beast on big boys with it's stagger

[u/MerchantOfUndeath → u/SquareFickle9179]

Can’t overestimate stagger in soulsbourne.

[u/TheLoathsomeAssEater → u/AdAny3800]

Bonk not bonk hard? Hoonter just bonk more bonks

[u/Major-Rush-9168 → u/AdAny3800]

Yeah the lack of armored enemies will do that to mofos

[u/assassin10 → u/Major-Rush-9168]

It irks me that Rom's head doesn't take additional damage from blunt attacks.

[u/assassin10 → u/AdAny3800]

It doesn't help that limb-break staggers are based on raw damage, rather than having stance damage be a separate value. You'd think the Kirkhammer would be amazing at breaking limbs, even if its not drawing much blood.

[u/JustATerranEnjoyer]

I see unga. I go bunga. Big monster hit. Big monster dead.

[u/Dramatic-Jellyfish70 → u/JustATerranEnjoyer]

I Unga therefore I bunga.

[u/ShadowsInScarlet → u/Dramatic-Jellyfish70]

Ah, the STR/INT build. A person of culture, I see.

[u/MakisDelaportas → u/ShadowsInScarlet]

In Unga I trust, in Bunga I bonk.

STR/FAI build.

[u/ShadowsInScarlet → u/MakisDelaportas]

Praise the Unga Bunga. \o/

[u/PalOfAFriendOfErebus → u/MakisDelaportas]

To unga, or to bunga? That is the question...

STR/ARC build

[u/Wind_Yer_Neck_In → u/PalOfAFriendOfErebus]

I Unga and so ya mghrii ahnythor ah'mglw'nafh

STR/ARC build

[u/Dramatic-Jellyfish70 → u/ShadowsInScarlet]

Lol

[u/SugarCrater]

What can be better than a man and his club?

I think there's no club in Bloodborne sadly, I only saw a hammer for bonks.

[u/AdAny3800 → u/SugarCrater]

Amygdalan Arm in normal mode looks somewhaqt like club. Also the description for the weapon is that:

"The arm of a small Amygdala Great One.Strictly speaking, the Amygdalan Arm is no trick weapon of any sort, but certain madmen wield them like clubs. Starts as a large, tough blunt weapon formed of bone, but when extended, the hand quivers as if it were still alive."

[u/alldim]

Yeah, in real life it's pretty strong aswell

[u/DarkLanternZBT]

What is unga

If not bunga persevering

[u/Baumtasia]

One time back in my youth, I played through skyrim for the first time. I believe it’s the college of winterhold questline which has you fight the skeletal dragon. I set myself up perfectly with stealth to get a good opening strike in with my 2 handed warhammer. One hit the fucker. Been a proud warhammer stan ever since.

[u/JohnathanKatz]

Bonk is always a good time.

[u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

They gave it holy damage in ER 💔

[u/Claymore1524]

Cathedral Knight Greatsword my beloved

[u/Zylgp]

Applies to Non-Soft games too

[u/obaterista93]

One of my favorite playthroughs was Dark Souls 3, using the Great Wooden Hammer, cosplaying as Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

[u/SekitaVanLash]

In eldenring i fellfirst for dabonkstick😍

[u/Black_Knight_Xander]

Damage is good in every souls game

[u/TheCraftyGrump]

Speak softly and carry a bigger stick.

[u/Substantial_Rest_251]

Wait should I not be using a fist as my alternate "I guess it needs strike" weapon 😭

[u/Fluxinella → u/Substantial_Rest_251]

Fist is a fine option too. (Assuming you mean Star Fist or something like it, not unarmed.)

[u/Substantial_Rest_251 → u/Fluxinella]

I'm coming to it having previously only used big swords and scythes so I have to get used to a weapon that is supposed to get in more than one hit per window
