Artorias.

Does he have an canon name?

Thank you very much!

You know, I think there's a fair argument here. Him barking at others while afflicted could be too much to expect players to manage when he has a stress dump skill that puts stress on others, in addition to managing Abysswalker's stress. That's a good point. That's something worth subtracting when I get the time.

That's amazing news you got there !
Yes he does big damage when set up right but at the cost of the whole team, in pitch black you gotta tank hits which will build up stress further enhanced in darkness. Taking hits that already build up high stress in the dark will be increased even more by the occasional affliction flaming lines. In the end if you really want him to be the MVP you will have to tank lots of stress for the whole team non stop while still slotting a healer. You're right about the power thing for free, but to me the major issue would probably be that 2 default affliction interraction were he increases stress further when an ally hit or get hit (occasionally). There is already lots of stress management needed with pitch black and the stress team wide interraction that occasionally happen with afflicted units. That's just my opinion though, don't think too much about it, in any case thanks a lot for the answer and good luck with what's next !

Hi, Antarex. Thank you for the feedback.

1. Custom affliction / virtue chances are hardcoded. This is flexible if you're using default ones from the game, but for custom resolve states, it's not possible.

2. Animations are primitive. I agree. There's someone amazing in the community who'd love to remake the Abysswalker animations with me (See SirFartzalot's incredible work with Dragonslayer), but he and I both have infants & full time jobs. That's a WIP with a full overhaul design behind it, but each ability would have dual animations & purpose depending on stance.

3. This majorly sounds like a learn to play issue. What makes you think you should you get a ton of power for free? Especially with a virtue state? There are so many ways to reduce stress taken, and it can mitigate much of the risk. But risk is central to getting his power maximized. This guy one-shots, or nearly one-shots, enemies with the right set-up.

After testing it for a while sadly even though the base design is amazing, the animations for most are really not great and the skills are lacking for the price you have to pay. You will have WAY more success playing him outside of affliction and keep him as far as you can from it, Most of the time he will just screw the whole team over, very rapidly... In the end you're better off playing him with as low stress as possible in pure dark, the great part though is the Lord's blade mod that pairs with him, his real value at the current state is being a tank with decent stats in the dark boosting the lord's blade after camping. It might be a crazy take but if you ever wanna update it and take ideas: keep the affliction as it is and add a custom virtue that does about what the affliction would do without constantly screwing the team, add with that new/reworked trinkets that DECENTLY boost virtuous chances and it would probably fix the whole thing.

Hey dude i cant use this mod with my other Knight skin can you make it compatible with other skins?

It's too late, but is it possible to make a nameless king?

1. 5技能强力的双眩晕控制+高伤害，而其它技能则平平无奇。
2. 高压力下伤害爆炸，独特的折磨状态提供大量属性加成，不过也存在烦人的负面行动几率。
3. 美术已经是用心还原狼骑士风采了，可惜还是感觉有点违和，或许是我心里的A大形象太完美了吧。

Please read the description.

So the stacking effect is there no matter I consume it or not I assume? despite it didn't show on the stats tab.

The soul item is a way of hitting 100 stress if you want immediate risk & reward.

A few question if possible:
The soul item i got from the start of every raid, do i need to consume it to have that stacking effect? or I can achieve that by normally reach to 100?

On week 20 and he hasn't shown up?

does trinkets only spawn in champion quest? cus im not getting any

Tried this out with Lord's Blade and was thoroughly disappointed. Yes they have great synergy with each other, but wrecks the rest of the party. They're great damage dealers/dancers, but little else. It's hard to fit in healing and stress healing with these two dancing all over the place. Anyone have insight as to what team these two are supposed to fit into?

^_____________^

Nice.

I tried to use 4 of them to raid in pitch black, they all had a heart attack and died. 10/10 would try that again.

You don't have to @. There's no functionality for that here afaik. I get the notification regardless. That's just a friendly note.

"When afflicted, Abysswalkers gain 10 percent damage per 10 stress at and above 100."

I think this line is precise enough. You can also hover your mouse over the minimum & maximum damage range when highlighting an enemy with an ability in order to check damage modifications iirc.

Possibly some news soon on a 5.0 update.

@Caedwyn When I read the tooltip I thought it was saying I get a permanent buff based on how much stress I have at the time I have of using it not that it would be a changing thing based off of dynamically changing stress.

The buffs are tied to the resolve state. You won't see them within the blue buff icon's tooltip.

It's 120 stress per 1 round. Anything outside of that one DoT tick is unrelated to the item.

It's intended to trigger the resolve state. If you trigger it from a stateless character, your stress gets capped at 100 due to the transition. The 120 is just to account for -% stress items/buffs you may have.

If you're using it from within the resolve state, God help you because Gwyn won't.

The item you get at the start of each expedition doesn't do anything it says on the tin. The only effect it seems to have is put on a debuff that causes you to gain (in the tooltip) 120 stress a turn for 1 round but even that is incorrect because it seemingly causes you to instantly have a heart attack regardless of how much stress you have. On top of this both times I used it the effect stayed for two turns rather than 1 and this caused my first abysswalker to died from a heart attack. It doesn't give a buff in anyway I can tell. It's supposed to give 10% damage per 10 stress.

The second time I used it I made sure to keep track of my stress and what my damage reported as before and after. I gained just around 160~ stress and even after I got hit with the heart attack and the debuff was removed I still got hit with something like 50~ stress damage. It likely was much more but it maxed out hard again.

As it is it's literally a suicide pill.

@Caedwyn, i got permission to create an addon for the Order of Sunlight mod, and i was wondering if i may use any of your mod assets in the mod, perhaps recoloring skins, to turn several of your classes into encounter-able enemies? i would give proper credits to you of course.

also i apologize if i dropped this comment on a different one of your mods, im really tired and i think i forgot to sub to a few comment sections i asked on

Updated localization (Rus): {LINK REMOVED}https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aPvXQZl-KRWjKNXd7axfoTKKoeybTvcK/view?usp=sharing

Afficition""corrupted" were unable to generate

Also the "if lord's blade" camping skill works for everyone not just lord's blade.

It works now, but there's no sound when he riposte attacks.

Small update to attempt fixing the riposte mark. Let me know if it works out.

That great to hear, looking forward to both BR being finished and Abysswalker and Lord's Blade getting a compatch.

Will look into it.

In terms of a compatibility patch for Abysswalker and Lord's Blade, once it's finished, I'll check into it.

For some reason he doesn't mark them on riposte? Blight works just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Will you make a compatibility patch for Black Reliquary for this and the synergy class?

In DS1, Artorias' greatsword does additional damage to abyssal enemies. I translate that to eldritch enemies for this game.

I really love this mod as well as your other mods, I have a little suggestion. I'm not great at the game so I have no idea if this would make sense balance-wise. But lorewise as a hunter of the abyss should this class perhaps do more damage to humans instead/as well as eldritch?

Further feedback would be appreciated.

In addition, his Somersault Slam won't be able to hit rank 4 now. Since he has a backline cleave, this should be fine.

His damage is pretty high if you're using the stress mechanic. That said, I decided to change his Savage Leap.

Now, it's a cleave on the back row.

For synergy, the mark was moved to the riposte. That's a poison + mark for synergy with Lord's Blade.

it's pretty meh compared to other non-vanilla heroes. no AoE whatsoever and lacking damage

Needs more buff to his damage. And whats the point of using his enraged mode? He deals less dmg and doesn't really do much.

Space's Campaign Thoughts...

Stance character, first of my Dark Souls classes reviews. Quality class, the art is sublime, good frontliner, decent dance mechanics. Has unique affliction and items that make him interesting and a low light buff. The hovering between 100-200 stress is a neat mechanic and feels rewarding enough. His dmg is good, durability is questionable. Overall, fun class, quality art balanced to slighty strong, but I think mostly balanced. 4/5 *B Tier*

Does he show up in the caravan? Or is there another way to get him? The mod's active and I've been refreshing the week for two days straight and can't find Artorias, Alonne, or Ornstein.

I was wondering if there's a possibility to have synergy between the watchdogs of of farron and this mod?

Hi, I noticed that list contains russian language. I want to ask for advice on localization of mods for DD.
All I did was replace the original text with my own, but ran into an error. In description of two skills half of text is missing and / or not displayed completely.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks for the notification. The change has been reverted & we'll check the file.

many MANY BLUE TEXT after update
