i am playing with swords now, but up until lvl 50 i was using a spear and the same armor.

Couldn't agree more

I want to see Alexios just straight butcher Eivor with an overpower attack! Valhalla is obviously Viking for disappointment.

Playing it now, my friend bought Valhalla I'm playing Odyssey. Excellent game, graphics holding up as well.

For crowd control you really only need ring of chaos, costs only one adrenalin bar and is more effective than the staffs overpower.

@@T7PDM true, but eh I really like staffs anyway, they’re fun to use

There is a damage table in the video for this.

sameeee

T7 Is this really you replying to me. If so then sweet

You do realize that all weapons have the same DPS written on them, dont you?

Oh, I have not tried that for other weapons than swords actually, I want to make a new weapon hybrid build anyway, so if all weapons have a move for that button combination, I could add it.

True story! Dodging and then striking opens up entirely new attacks for the weapons.

@@T7PDM Please do and remember that certain light/heavy combos also produce different moves for all the different weapons. I learned them by playing without abilities for a while. I love the abilities so I went back to them once I thought I was proficient without them.

Daggers wont do anything in an assassin builld anyway, similar as poison doesnt do anything aswell, they dont increase your assassination damage, or whatsoever. These are perfect examples of common misconception for casual players.

Its literally not possible to get this regularly, its a 1 in a million bug that you collect such an item. Engravings can not occur twice since the November 2018 patch and even when you might have gotten such an item, which some people probably have, I got like 2 or 3 reports over the last 2 years. Its not possible for any other player to get it. Its not in the gifts, its not possible to loot or buy it at the blacksmith. There is only a Bandit bow in the Olympian gifts with 1x Crit chance and 1x Crit damage, which is also a unique item, because of the crit damage, which can not normally ocur on bows. This bow CAN be found in the Olympian gifts, but not yours. (That doesnt mean that you dont have it, but you can call yourself lucky, because you just won the lottery by getting it) Its an impossible item that somehow still exist. When you show that online to someone, 99% of players will call you out as a hacker... I also thought so for a very long time that these people are just attention seekers, but it might be that you or a handful of others just have it, not being aware that it is impossible to get. We have theories how these kind of impossible mutations might happen by a super rare error in the game code, but that would be too long for this answer.

@@T7PDM Thanks for the info! I'll definitely protect and make some duplicates of my save file if it's that rare to occur...I was hesitant to even mention it because like you said some people might question it, but I'm just playing on PS4, no mods or anything.

Its explained in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b85xnLVkyNTQiZ8.html It happens in certain conditions when you hit your enemies automatically.

Daggers deal the least damage per hit. Its half the damage of swords and all other weapons. Which makes one hit kills almost impossible. Better use swords or anything else. Daggers really suck.

I cant let this uncommented, dude, because DPS means damage per second. All weapon types share the same DPS in assassins creed Odyssey. But the weapon animations and speeds are different leading to different damage per hit.

There is an engraving that burns or poisons every enemy in a single hit anyway so your argument is invalid. Besides that the attack speed would still only be slightly faster than swords. And damage over time is not really useful, increasing your weapon damage and killing an enemy in a single hit is always the better option.

@@T7PDM I found out that after I leave my comment lol Just start this game 2days ago

I'm not sure but I think it's about 4 million damage. Sorry if I'm wrong🙏

The amount of assassin damage depends on your amount of crit damage. A mercenary on nightmare has 3.5 million health + a bit of armor/resistance.

I also like them, but I prefer the bow or an assassination.

If that opinion is unpopular then I am an outcast too. I love the staff because, even though it clearly does the least damage, it seems to have the most diverse attacks comparatively speaking.

Heavy blunts overpowwer is OP even against single targets, over 8 million is possible in an optimized build, you can kill 4 mercs in one overpower easily.

@@T7PDM i mean, against single enemy its not that strong as you cant chain it.

@@jirikunc1956 True, but there is not an enemy that needs more damage that you can not kill with 1/4 of the hit. And those who are stronger will animation cancel automatically => Cyclops, and other creatures will get the full damage of 4 hits in a single hit. So there is no real disadvantage.

Its from the Herakles set which is from the Helix Store

I understand your frustration. For some reason I can only engrave 30% armor penetration on spears.

You should check the damage table for daggers.

@Milibiakus 847 which ?

@@exterminio4463 the engraving is from the Caduceus Blade, which you get for completing the main story quest The Rebellion's Uprising.

@@lennard5720 I already finished the story in fact I'm playing new game plus. Thank you

Its explained in the pinned video on the channel.

You should watch this playlist, everything you need to know will be explained so that new players can understand it: kzfaq.info/sun/PLazWgSf7jFubgOl9SRp_hjRlqYHjeOOgn

Just watch his videos they helped me a lot. The biggest tip I personally could give a new player is that resistances are king and armor is not so much.

The transmog items were shown in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNGAfZd23LepiIk.html

The FUN in this game for many people is to understand it and get better and better. That is one aspect, which makes it different from other boring shallow uninspired games. Odyssey has fundamentally good game mechanics, that are so incredibly well thought of and balanced.

Swords have a quite good range, the only weapon with really poor range are the daggers. Check the horseback double kill at the end of the video with the sword. BTW: There is mostly no AOE at all, because it is always the weapon that must hit the target. Only thing that is slightly AOE is the heavy blunt vertical attacks. Realy AOE are abilities like Ring of chaos.

More people play Odyssey than Valhalla actually, dude. Good games never get boring. Bad games die fast.

I do. Combat so much more fun than Valhalla.

I do because I can just lose myself in the awesomely detailed scenery. There is a video of an Archeologist watching the game while a dev plays it. She works in Athens Agora every summer and was blown away by the accuracy and detail of the game. Masterpieces just don't get old.
