Ragnarok

Cool fact in raggy, for the barrels in svartflheim 2 if you use sigil arrows the explosion from them/fire flood gets WAY bigger. Very useful against bersergas and crowd control when in tight spaces.

If you attack a enemy during their attack animation with BoC triangle attacks, it does around 30 percent more damage if you get the upgrade.

Teleporting einherjar have a revenge value if I think 4 hits. If you hit them 4 times and don’t continue said combo, they will run away. There is more to it and I will report back if I find some new juicy stuff.

MORE tips for draupnir: if you use spear detonation, you will still keep your combo going and if you do the 3 spear impaling, it will put you at your 2nd to last light combo string which allows for quick access to the combo enders.

Tips for dark elves:
Usually, if you launch them and hit them like let’s say, 4 times they fly away from you combo BUT, there is a way to circumvent this, that being frost which gets rid of that.

Noice so Draupnir allows to offset combos with certain attacks? I know that if you parry midway through a light attack BoC combo, you can offset and continue the combo.

>draupnir dodge offset heavy
Yeah, and the shield offset thing is for all weapons.

Fun fact: in gmgow air launchers do more damage IIRC. It was like this in 2018 I think.

The spears rushing R1 gives iframes.

You can get heimdall in an infinite loop with draupnir spear rushing r1 into detonation IIRC.

For gale force, if you aim it down on a enemy it will launch them.

You can gain iframes with the retreat attacks.

Draupnir spear light ender turns enemy’s backwards. Heavy ender also knock backs enemy’s(not the launcher).

For CG(combat grapple) you can do the blades launcher VERY quickly after it. Maybe the fastest way to do it honestly.

> Blades of Chaos whiplash
I've also seen people use that as a parry. How does that work?

> Hit them 4 times and don't continue, they run
So I take it you can lock them down if you DO hit them more than 4 times?

> 3 spear impale
So, stick 3 spears in them and then detonate, or can you just attack after throwing 3 spears into them? If the former, does it have to be a light or heavy detonation?

> Frost status proc stuns dark elves
So does frost reset their revenge value, or does it just make them more susceptible to hitstun? Or both?

> Air launchers
You mean just launchers in general?

>Whiplash used as parry
You talking the shield bash thing? Or people using it to break enemy guards or before they attack? The former is just a quick acces to the BoC traingle slam which is one of the most damaging tools in the game, the next one is just a cool way to deal with SOME shielded enemy’s, and the latter does a extra damage boost if you have said skill.

>continue rampage
Sort of. Some enemy’s IIRC have input reading(one I remember the most is teleporting einherjar teleporting away from you if you do the ender of a combo) so that doesn’t always work. But for the majority I think so.

>stick 3 spears into them
It’s that one, and I think it has to be light or the timed detonation.

>frost on dark elves
Just allows you to juggle them easier without them flying away like a lil bitch.

>Launchers in general
I guess yeah.

Seems like they got the gow 3 model in raggy.

Another way to break einherjar shields is through juggling an enemy near them. In general, raggy has, and I am being serious, better collisions than god of war 3 due to the fact of staggering. You can straight up destroy einherjar captains with juggling a einherjar to them(gets them in a bit of a stun lock).

Of course joking it has better collisions than 3.

Honestly, an issue I realized I have with raggy is the axe triangle launcher. As much as I love it, it makes the regular launcher damn near useless and is pretty much an objective buff. There isn’t much reason to use the regular launcher once you get that unless you’re doing a NUR+. Sure, you have the charge it but I have 2 counterpoints to that:

1. Due to the verticality(not complying btw love the more vertical arenas) you can go to the high ground to charge it very safely

2. Later on you get the running which gives you free access to the charged axe right away. I guess the regular launcher has more range(due to move assist, gotta love that) but that’s it.

Found a runic attack that destroys wulvers, that being hades retribution. Always launches them with the bomb allowing for you to destroy them.

Honestly, feel like raggy has the most open ended combat in the series.

If you trip an enemy’s leg and use the axe running R1, it launches them.

Cool too about gna, if you wait for freya to do her rushing attack, use game force to knock her back to force her to use her grab move which you can exploit to hit her back.

If you trip an enemy and use the axes triangle light attack, it knocks them back. Also for grims, the ones who go up walls/pillars and ceilings, if you bring them down with the blades it does a small poison aoe.

Will say, wonder how the people who didn’t play this game will think of the new stun system compared to 2018. Don’t think raeng would like it at all. It’s pretty much gow ascensions way of stun.

Stun does seem to build up more slowly than 2018, but outside of that, I don't completely understand the differences. Is it in the equipment system?

In raggy, if you fully build up stun, depending on the enemy’s HP(which even that is inconsistent) they will be at yellow, which is suppose to deal a good chunk of damage without killing but does a PISS POOR job at that. Red is the only good one, and it’s good for managing arrow cool downs which do matter a lot in this game. That system mainly shines with grims. Other than that and more rage gain and SOME enemy grabs allowing for collisions/grabs, it sucks.

Really interesting interview for raggy if you’re interested in combat design and such or game development in general. A must watch for god of war fans of any kind imo.

Giving it more thought, raggy is the doom eternal of the gow series.

Draupnir spear detonations always stagger heimdall unless he has armor on.

Really wish I was home to record gameplay footage of this games tech, would probably make the tips more fun to look forward to.

Would greatly appreciate seeing some demonstrations.

Yeah, you should up some footage of tech and mechanics

Posted some videos on twitter that showcase the tech.

You can cancel odins armor summon with a runic or stagger.

Here’s a video from my NUR+ of raggy:

Made this to showcase raggys collisions.

Question: How did you quick switch to the chains right here?

https://youtu.be/gfDa208zuHw?t=46

You can skip weapon toggle animation by pressing the dpad into right away a runic attack. Been like this since god of war 2018.

Well, the encounter with the orge and hel/raiders is the scariest shit since the fucking trials of archimedes. Great encounter, but it’s gonna take me a while to mail it down(didn’t even beat it yet). This is ofc in NUR+. Game is really fun there so far.

Honestly, NUR+ has been easier than expected. Hard, but I was suprised I didn’t struggle at certain sections more.

Who do you guys think is the best enemy in this game? For me, einherjar warrior. He’s literally the pandora gaurdian Satyr of this game(anti casual, can counter attack you, has semi random combos to keep you on your edge, can stun lock you if you don’t respect him, etc). Honestly, any enemy casuals hate I love.

It's been a bit since I played, but I liked the light elves in general. The ones that shoot projectiles that can be destroyed with a ranged attack were pretty cool, there's some decision making on whether you detonate it immediately to tag the guy shooting at you and to get rid of the threat, or lure it closer to a group of enemies to hit more at once.

You plan on making a showcase with the light elves beyond Alva?

>light elves
They are great. Used to be my favorites.

>more showcases for them
There was a encounter where you fight all 3 of them at once I sucked at, but have a save for it so if I perfect it I will showcase.

At odins last phase now, aka the only great one. This was a really fun run, and will upload the fight most likely to YouTube(only his last phase). Will finish it up tomorrow.

Finished the NUR+ run. Had A LOT of fun overall.

So it seems raggy may be getting dlc according to a credible leaker. Hopes are it’s based around the Nordic myths after raggy(which means we could see baldy again, and FINALLY get introduced to vidar proper and not that shitty clone that is gna**and wasn’t even a valkryie in the myths**). Also hope we get introduced to new aesir units and such. Best enemy’s in the game by far. Reality is probably atreus dlc……………..

Wulvers have a weakpoint in their back which allows for knockbacks against them.

Sigil arrows can be used against small tier enemy’s against big boys resistant to certain status effects. Really cool to use. Also, bifrost spreads more with sigil arrows. And if yo use sigil arrows to break an elemental helmet einherjar , it counts as 2 sigil arrow blasts fro the price of one. Enemy DT can be used to your advantage due to the fact it heals enemy’s, and since many of your moves scale with enemy levels, it’s a cool way to keep certain enemy’s alive to use as collisions against brutish enemy’s. Game also buffs certain armor sets on GMGOW/ability’s. Each impale of the spear counts as a regular light hit, which means your spear combo continues.
