Question (new player) Parrying, dashing, dodging or dps'ing?
I wouldn't say I'm an experienced player, so far I'm on 2nd cell difficulty through decent pain. I tend to split scrolls like 14-7-6 on the winning 1st cell run, cuz it gives at least some damage but still keeps bosses from one-shotting me.
I rely on parrying a lot, even though it's really hard to time right especially if you don't know the enemy, I still enjoy the mechanic very much. But is it even worth it? Should I split like this and learn more defences (i still play aggressuvely with no much dodging, and once i got to this sub turns out its a tank build thing, lmao), or should i just git gud in dodging and go into hard damage with min health?
What are the optimal builds? Is aggresiveness not the best strat?
