Of course they buff critical hits AFTER I beat Malenia with my stance breaking strat.
#I have generally found critical hits a bit lacking in elden ring at times#me vs elden ring#but I thought the ease with which you could stance break enemies balanced it out#typically charged R2 > crit#I wonder just how different it is. Probably nothing ridiculous.#a little more reward to make learning to parry actually worthwhile#(parrying crits are more powerful than backstab and I assume stance break crits? Not sure about the second one I don't parry)#in dark souls 3 parrying was useful for a few specific bosses and generally not worth it for everything else#every souls game really. I'm sure it's a much bigger deal in pvp but pve#kind of wonky. lot of risk for little reward#more of a style points thing#Gundyr is like impossible if you can't parry though#and parrying Pontiff makes the fight a lot more manageable#...that's it#was only ever good at parrying in bloodborne of course where it's easy and less risky but consumes item#just flowed more naturally too. The way you parry in souls games with enemies just falling to the floor#makes no goddamn sense
