Dark Souls 3: Ranged or Melee – Which Is Better?

Due to the rise in popularity of From Software's latest open-world outing, "Elden Ring", more and more people are becoming interested in From Software's past titles. In particular, "Dark Souls III," the final entry in the Souls franchise,

Dark Souls III was the critically acclaimed finale to the beloved Souls franchise. The series, which started with Demon's Souls in 2009, continued with Dark Souls. The success of Elden Ring has once again sparked interest in the Ashen One's journey through the Lothric realm. So if you're one of those who are about to jump into one of the best Action JRPGS of the last decade, this guide is for you.

Should I go for Pure Melee or Pure Ranged?

One of the most common questions I hear as a Souls veteran is whether players should build a ranged build or a pure melee build. That's a pretty interesting question, more so in Dark Souls 3 than in other games.

Since the level design is to kill you and your enemies, in previous games where you had to be doubly careful with everything, no matter what build you chose, having a ranged alternative to shoot down enemies was always the most important option. Demon's Souls in particular has *cough* Pollution Valley *Cough* due to some of its levels, but in Dark Souls 3 this question is much more vague.

While Dark Souls 3 tries to preserve the level design found in past games where the pace should have been more systematic,

Ancak bunu hafifletmek için Dark Souls 3'teki düşmanlar düpedüz acımasız. Lothric Knights, Outrider Knights, black goo hollows (gerçek isimleri değil) gibi düşmanların hepsi Dark Souls 3'ün her seviyesine dağılmıştır.  Yakın dövüş oyuncuları her zaman olayların merkezinde olmalıdır. Bu yüzden her iki seçeneğin avantajlarını gözden geçireceğiz.

yakın dövüş:

Önce yakın dövüşten başlayalım. Tüm ruhlar serisinde tonlarca yakın dövüş odaklı seçenek var, oyuncu güçlü kanamayı ikiz kılıç, dev çekiçler veya neredeyse kılıç olarak adlandırılamayacak kadar büyük bir demir parçası ile kullanabilir.

Dark Souls 3'te her silah türü, değişen hız ve hasar varyasyonları sunar. Souls oyunlarında bir silah menzili çok önemlidir, çünkü mızraklar ve Ultra-Muhteşem Kılıçlar gibi uzun menzilli silahlar, Uchigatana veya Şövalye sınıfının başlangıç ​​Uzun Kılıç'ına göre menzilde önemli bir avantaja sahip olma eğilimindedir.

Melee characters always have to face both enemies and bosses directly, dodge attacks, and punish any opening with your own flurry of attacks (or a single hit of the STR-based Ultra-Magnificent Sword if you're like me). Melee builds have a huge advantage at close range, as they can usually do a lot of damage due to their high point on the health-boosting Vigor.

By the end of the game, most of the melee-focused builds in these games can take some of the strongest boss attacks in the game from both powerful enemies and toughest bosses. You can also watch your non-hit, SL 1 nude Katana or "Giant Club" runs on YouTube and get "ordinary"

Ranged:

As with melee, Dark Souls 3 offers a wide variety of options. If you're a melee character who wants to tinker with ranged damage a bit, the game offers players options like the Bow, Crossbow, and Big Bow. Other ranged options include enchantments such as Sorcery, Fire Charm, or Miracles.

The irony is that while some players in the community will make you believe, pure magic/range builds are actually as difficult as melee options, if not more. This is because while casters have the freedom to fight at their comfortable distance, i.e. loot bosses with powerful spells at medium range, it's also easy to die with magic builds rather than relying on pure magic damage. any defensive ability.

Upgrading their main source of damage always takes precedence over health, as magic users often have to rely on their FP gauge. Another hurdle for magic users is that they have to sacrifice Estus Vials that restore their health in exchange for FP restoring Ashen Estus vials. This allows both parties to balance their advantages and disadvantages, and some may wonder, "Hey magic actually sounds a lot harder".

Magic users also gain access to some of the most powerful sources of damage in all of Dark Souls 3 with their spells. The next time a random person in the community humiliates you for using magic, the next time they encounter a boss and a man is shot by a man with a sword, point to them and laugh.

Yes Good But Which Should I Choose?

As someone who's been playing this series since 2016 and has beaten every Souls game including Bloodborne and Sekiro, my most serious advice is to try getting into both options that are built like a magic knight or a mercenary.

Dark Souls 3 offers lots of fun options and systems for players to tinker with, and the first playthrough of a Souls game is always one of the best experiences you can have while playing a video game. Good luck on your journey and don't forget to Praise Ash and Sun.
