The best DLC weapons for now is the flame blade and just after the blade bow

Rotating cross bow is way too slow and you don't have armor
Slow weapon doesn't mean weak you know...
you just have to find a good setting for the weapon and then it's fine.

But yeah 5 star weapon is quite weak in my opinion.

I find the flame blade a bit to hard to master.
I mean, I'm not really used to this fire charging stuff.

It was actually the same with the Ring Blade, which was quite hard at the beginning, and after a few try become really powerful.

Didn't try Emei Piercers and Sabatons yet.

You need to just frame each moves for the ring blade.

But ... what about the new characters ?
No new characters was announced since Lü Lingqi

I think all of them have been announced. Game comes out next month, I doubt there's much more to reveal by this point - that and I assume they wanna start focusing on hyping up SW4 now

Yeah I do not think there will be any more new characters. Anyways this is how much new characters should be in an expansion.

OK something i noticed on Mt Qi Animal Battle, they have done it again, it's the same as the battle Cai Wenji appears in where Guo Jia says Zhen Ji instead of Cai Wenji, Quinton Flynn has done it yet again where he says Guo Huai instead of Deng Ai, i can't be the only one to notice that

Are you sure you just did not get it right?

I think there will just be one more batch of information in two weeks, focusing all the last thing we have to know on "System" (see the officiel website to understand what I mean)

Since we didn't get character announcement this week, I think Lingqi was the last one for DW8XL.

Anyway, it's off topic, we are on the DLC thread.

Maybe they'll finally add DLC characters in XL.
Well, I really do not think so.

But I still had hope for Cheng Pu. Especially because Xun Yu has high chances to come in Empires. (maybe both of them will be in)

Yeah I noticed this too. Initially I thought there was a part of the stage that I missed or something.

Did Zhong Hui say this during that Jin mission where you have to rescue Guo Huai? It might just be case of a sloppy re-using of lines.

Yeah, the DLC stages are just recycling dialogue from other stages. It's from that stage where you have to rescue Guo Huai...you never have to rescue Deng Ai. Guess Koei couldn't be bothered to record new lines, for the english version anyway. I wonder if its new stuff in Japanese.

Oh I never knew that. You never know, maybe it could have just been translated wrong and they got the names wrong.

that would explain it then, also for anyone who doesn't know the Boots you can loop the Jump Charge so long as you keep hitting enemies just press X after hitting then triangle again rinse and repeat, I've only just discovered this myself

Yeah, it's a pretty fast way to move across areas with lots of enemies around lol (not as fast as the Curved Sword air normal jump cancel trick but you still cover a lot of distance)

Sucks if you miss though, especially on harder difficulties, the enemies ruin your day and that is no bueno. <_<

I do like that you can immediately go into your s-string after landing a Jump Charge though.

The Sabatons are pretty simple on the surface, but I feel like there is so much more going on there that requires you to actually think about how you're going to use them. For example, after the frst hit of your S-string, you're technically in the air...so going into your musou mid string is going to use your air musou, not your ground musou. Which is always something to consider when you're being swarmed by officers :XD

Being able to switch attack (which are generally really easy to abuse in this game as it is) with it in the air offsets the risks of otherwise being defenseless in the air. Though yeah you can get screwed if you're not careful with how you attack.

due to how fun the Sabatons are I've sorta been ignoring the Emei Piercers, though I do really like the animations on it.

Finally we're back to a good batch of DLC. The last two were garbage.

- DW6 costumes were what, $2.49? They were 99 cents for DW7. But because I'm a sheep, I bought them. I'm going to buy all the past costumes for consistency's sake.

- The five wallpapers cost $2.49, no thank you. They were cool wallpapers but that's way too expensive. The DW ladies wallpapers were 99 cents IIRC, and there were five of them as well. Don't know why they were so expensive.

- Mt. Qi was decent for Wei but a little underwhelming. As was Shu's if you fail Zhuge Liang's plan. Here's hoping that if you make the plan succeed the battle is more fun.

- The Boots are incredible. They're extremely fun to use and they've completely redeemed Guan Suo. They're definitely the best weapon we've gotten thus far. Oh, and I love that you can use your switch attack in mid-air. I believe that's the only weapon in the game with that ability. I'm hoping and praying that they get EXed to Guan Suo, I really want to like him again. One negative is that the boots are stupidly huge, they look like elephant shoes.

- The Emei Piercers are really fun to play with, but the biggest problem I have with them is that they're too small. It's funny that I complain about that since I'm probably the last person you would expect to bitch about a weapon being too small. But you can barely see them, I thought they'd be the about the same size as Wang Yi's daggers or at least as visible in your hands as the throwing knives. I swear, KOEI doesn't have a clue how to design weapons.

Mount Qi is boring, on both sides, but especially Shu's side. Luring those three officers out and waiting for Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, and Wei Yan to retreat takes way too long. I succeeded the first time i tried...running back and forth because they won't retreat until you approach them...and then you have to lead them.

The second time I played it, it was WAY more fun simply because I intentionally failed the plan.

When you fail the ploy, Zhuge, Jiang Wei, and Wei Yan retreat and don't come back. All of the enemies head straight for you, so you're fighting a massive moshpit of soldiers, officers, and unit commanders. SO GREAT.

Only problem with that is, if you use your awakening in sad moshpit...it will very likely crash your game :XD which happened to me, TWICE in a row, using Guan Suo both times.

Mount Qi is way more fun if you intentionally fail, rather than sending 5-10 minutes luring people to ambush points and then waiting for things to happen.

I think the emei piercers are just the right size personally. They are supposed to a martial artsy and speedy weapon. It makes sense for them to be smaller and more refined looking, as opposed to big clod-hopping things that look far too big and heavy for what they're supposed to be...

...Like Wang Yi's current daggers :shifty:

The gloves, chin and sickle, staff, wing blades, and a few other weapons can also do it, btw.

Really? Huh, never knew that. I guess I've never even tried since I didn't think it was possible. No point in hitting R1 in mid-air, I thought. Well alright then, the Boots are one of the few weapons that you can use a switch attack in mid-air. :P

Ugh since downloading the DLC and getting the error message the game has been messing up for me.

If I try and do Nanzhong in story mode the game freezes after I select my character. Every time.

It's kinda small but it's messed up Bao's tattoo again. After the slowdown patch came out her tattoo stopped messing up and switching to a black star whenever she was running, now it's doing it again.

I've asked TKE about fixing the issues with the newest batch of DLC on twitter but no reply yet ahah.

I don't know man, those Wallpapers obviously took more work that the 3D renders. I mean, that was some really good art, and truly, everyone of those is worth a commission of much higher funds.

Maybe. But I don't see the point in spending that kind of money on five wallpapers I won't see very much since there are over 100 in the game already. Not to mention all of the DLC wallpapers I've already bought. I have them all on random and I don't want to have to turn any of them off to end up getting my money's worth.

*shrugs* Eh, I don't know. Maybe I'll end up buying them if I have any extra money left over after we get our next batch of DLC.

Nope I have no idea I hope that they give us some information on the next batch of DLC because I am very interested in it.

@SnowMan I agree with you there is really no point of getting DLC wallpapers and spending money on it just to finish a collection there is much better DLCs to get anyways.
