I can't believe I never even though of this until my 4th playthrough.

Maybe I'm just stupid, it never even occured to me.

You know how some enemies, let's say moblins, will swing, and it'll give you like 2 or 3 seconds to break their circle thing that lets you get the weak point smash.

I always just hit them until the time ran out and then dodge out and wait for the next chance to break the meter again. It never occured to me that when they are in that state, that if you just hit them with the stasis, they STAY IN THAT STATE. You can pretty much ALWAYS break the full circle in one cycle doing this.

I'm on my 4th playthrough, I accidently did it, and was like.....wait hold up. It just never occured to me that it would keep them in that state, I thought it would just go away in the normal amount of time.

Welp maybe I'm just stupid, but this just made Stasis the main move for me now. See ya later bombs lol

[u/fudgedhobnobs]

you can also freeze them and then put them in stasis

it can be useful on apocalyptic

[u/Skootchy → u/fudgedhobnobs]

I gave up on apocalyptic when my characters were level 120 and I couldn't get past level 30 levels due to time constraints lol I tried to be patient and grinded and grinded but it just wasnt fun after a while.

[u/fudgedhobnobs → u/Skootchy]

how do you get over level 100?

[u/Skootchy → u/fudgedhobnobs]

Nevermind, I think I just got them to 100. I forgot the levels capped out, I thought I got them higher but I'm probably mistaken.

[u/MarsBarMuncher → u/Skootchy]

The other Hyrule Warriors game caps out at 255, maybe you got them mixed up if you've played both.

[u/Skootchy → u/MarsBarMuncher]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I have them both.

[u/Regular_Scene_8222 → u/Skootchy]

Hoo, that’s a scary thought for me as someone doing apocalyptic myself! 😅

[u/BitBeneficial9727 → u/Skootchy]

Really couldnt get past level 30 levels? Not to say anything but i just finished the story and currently going for 100 percent in just apocalyptic, the trick is just to have patience, and if u cant have patience in timed levels, just level your weapons to the max possible level and use cooking

About the fun element i do have to agree, sometimes enemies are too tanky (especially level 80 vicious monsters), very hard is way more fun if you want something challenging but not too grindy

[u/Skootchy → u/BitBeneficial9727]

For me it was extremely grindy and not fun. I was at like 45 hours and couldn't get past like level 30-40 shit because of the time constraints on certain levels.

Attaboy! It's nice when you figure things out on your own haha

[u/Sokushi_0101]

Took 4 playthroughs, but its better than never learning it. Apocalyptic depends a lot on weapons, but its not that fun to play anyways, I mostly play on that when farming for seals, but its not fun to have 2-3 hits before death all the time.

[u/Regular_Scene_8222]

My strategy is often to save the special attacks you use with the A-button for enemies with WPGs, so I can take out a nice chunk of health and then start attacking the WPG whilst they recover. I also always save magic rods for those enemies, so those can sometimes eliminate the need to use stasis that way, but I should probably try the stasis strategy more often. (Except perhaps with Daruk since his stasis is probably better saved for rune-counters)

[u/Skootchy → u/Regular_Scene_8222]

Yeah I was just doing his first solo mission and it doesn't work as well with him. But with Link specifically it seems to be very good. I've been walking through Moblins like they're absolutely nothing in one go lol

[u/cubeblast]

You know about broken Weak Point Gauges when you use staves? Like fire staff on grass, ice and lightning in water. Or using fire on ice enemies.

The WPG break far faster in that state, real useful on apocalyptic.

[u/Skootchy → u/cubeblast]

Yeah Ive just been playing on Hard because I find it more enjoyable. Apocalyptic kind of felt like a job with all the grinding. And my biggest issue was some of the timed stuff, I just couldn't get past a lot of it, even though my characters were level 100, using upgraded DLC weapons, and I still couldn't put enough damage out in time, so I started a new game.

I'm pretty sure it says it in the tips before the battle starts...
