I’ve hit a point where all the weapons I have have too low damage. I need to find better base parts. Decayed royal weapons are no longer as good as they used to.
Where can I get a good base weapon that is not the biggoron sword?
For the record, I know royal guard has good damage but I need something that lasts more than 3 hits
I did the first regional phenomenon, and then started exploring depths. I found an armored lynel, and teied him with my shit weapons. after dying 20 times i realised Sword plus spiked metal ball does well against armored enemies…
Havent found anything with base dmg unfused more than 20…
Base points aren’t what matter. From an endgame player, I use zora weapons (~12 dmg base I think) and fuse them with silver lynel horns, which are worth 55 and carry the weapons.
The most important part of using weapons is knowing their modifiers. With Zora weapons (Water Warrior), the weapon doubles in damage if link is near water or wet (throwing chuchu or other stuff works for that), bringing damage up to the 120s or so.
In conclusion, the totk system is not about strong damage base items, but instead making use of the item’s properties and fusing strong items to your weapons. It may be easier for you to always be at 1 heart for knights weapons, for example, or maybe you dodge a lot and therefore prefer royal weapons. And if all else fails, don’t forget your damage boosting armors too.
From an endgame perspective would you say the gloom weapons are good till I can beat silver and white lynels?
Gloom weapons are handy in general for all your needs aboveground, just make sure not to use them below. They’re good mid-game, but honestly a waste of time to get with endgame cycling around the same few weapons + rockteroks.
I’ve had pretty good luck with the gloom weapons if you have a few extra hearts to spare. they have high damage, especially if you fuse something decent to them and they only take away a few hearts from my experience, and if you are above ground the hearts don’t stay gloomed. Probably not the best in the long run, but not bad.
I use gloom stuff as the fused attachment. Biggoron sword + gloom club is coom
Do you still get gloomed?
I started the zora one. Not finished yet. But I did the second koga fight. That combined with white lynels made me notice I need more damage
I ran into a flux construct in the deapths. My weapons did very little damage to it. Idk if theres a certain type of weapon that works better for them or not …
You gotta hit the glowing cube
Yeah. I unfused it till he was split up. My weapons damaged the glowing cube very slowly…
What variant was it and what weapons
Dont know what variant. I had a few hammers (powerful. Sword plus rare talus heart). All broke quickly when pounding the cube. My zonai weapons were weak (15 spear). They did damage but were slow…
It was also a pot more powerful than the ones i had seen before.
Thats intentional. You’re supposed to fuse monster horns to weapons for damage.
