Notes from author

"Man takes up the sword in order to shield the small wound in his heart sustained in a far-off time beyond remembrance. Man wields the sword so that he may die smiling in some far-off time beyond perception." - Berserk (Kentaro Miura, 1966 - 2021) https://www.deviantart.com/nefillim/art/The-Black-Swordsman-454253347 an hybrid Arc/Str-oriented 'quality' build created for RP purposes as an homage to the too-soon dearly departed K.Miura's manga series' central protagonist, which serves as my personal interpretation (and obligatory submission) of a Guts playthrough configuration. essential RP accessories include Molotovs & Delayed Explosives; Throwing Knives (practical adaptation made partly in honour of fallen comrade Judeau); Bone Marrow Ash (false arm-cannon gunpowder.); Beast Blood Pellets (Beast Mode DPS in conjunction with the Claw, alongside Beast & Beast's Embrace Oath Rune.) - Why HMS instead of LHB? 1. Design Similarisation; the HMS is a 'big' sword in both its forms, with the default stance presenting a more accurate reflection of Guts' pre-apocalypse longsword than the LHB's default claymore, and trans mode representing a competitive comparative approximation of the flagship DragonSlayer greatsword to LHB's ornate zweihänder. 2. Ludonarrative Congruence; later chapters document the DragonSlayer having been imbued with innate magical properties after years of slaying apostles, trolls and various other powerful supernatural entities, which i feel is better expressed by the HMS' ambient Arc dmg output. (although an argument can also be made for LHB's 50% righteous bonus as an advantageous factor for the same RP.) 3. Preferential Bias; there are plenty enough Guts builds incorporating the LHB that i think the HMS deserves some representation in its capacity to function under the same contextual bracket.
