      What the **** happened to this weapon? It now has a closer resemblance to a dildo rather than the actual sword.

      • Anonymous

        Y’all I have a question, started as a royal, picked up this weapon.

        But I also have a crescent falichan, my friend told me to get it. But at what point if ever, does kris blade become worth using over this crescent falichan.

          "Decreases Magic defense (-14.8% ~ +40%)"

          Does this mean that your magic defence is -14.8% at +0 and +40% at +5
          Or that your magic defence is +14.8% at +0 and -40% at +5?

          What's written in the quoted text means the second option, but it doesn't seem to be consistent with the other information on the page. Help plz

            Why did the game developers redesign the kris blade for this abysmal re-make? Is it to make it more "appealing" towards mentally challenged people?

            • Anonymous

              This new version of the kris blade looks like a pile of sh*t. Original is better and I speak for all sane people out there.

              • Anonymous

                This new version of the kris blade looks unrealistic and pathetic. Honestly though, what were the devs thinking when they redesigned it and turned it into an abomination? It may seem trivial, but small details like this do go noticed. To all the people that like this new design; you can just f*ck off. Dislike me all you want because imbeciles like you are the ones turning this community into a cesspit. So sad...

                • Anonymous

                  You can downvote all you want but the original design was an accurate Kris blade, this is an abomination.

                    the bonus magic damage is only applied to spells, even fire ones. it wont affect god's wrath (as its a miracle, not a magic spell) or melee weapons with magic damage

                      Ah, so happy they added weapon from my home country. Just little bit dissapointed they didn't give it real life battle art which called "SANTET"

                        If anyone is doing a caster build and having trouble deciding between +5ing the Phosphorescent Pole or the Kris Blade on their first run, like I was, I reccommend upgrading the pole. The spell damage difference between Kris and Kris+5 isn't all that major, however the regen for the pole changes pretty dramatically. The pole also functions better as a melee weapon than the Kris Blade, but honestly they both are best as offhand. For your main weapon, get a Crescent Kilij. I run Pole + Kris in offhand, Crescent Kilij + Talisman of Beasts in main hand.

                        The difference between which you upgrade is relatively minor, but I promise you that you'll feel more of the pole's upgrade passive than kris'. While it's true that MP regen items are cheap and plentiful, it's a bit of a hassle to constantly use them, and also takes valuable time mid-combat. The pole helps reduce this, and at/near max upgrade for Pole + Crescent Kilij, you'll recover the MP spent on Warding before it expires, making your melee capabilities not nearly as subject to attrition, and your build better in PvP as a result (which is where mages typically suffer most anyways).

                        • I don't think this stacks with other items.
                          I was using the Monk's Head Wrappings and Ring of Magical Sharpness which both raise Magic damage.

                          When holding the weapon in either hand I was doing the same Magic damage as I was without having it equipped.

                          I can see damage difference when unequipping the wrappings or ring though.

                          • There’s a hidden mechanic with this I’ve found. It doesn’t work on every enemy, but when farming souls in Monolith Forest if you have kris blade equipped you get another bonus 20% souls if your spell one shots the Mantas. I haven’t been able to find any other enemies this works on yet so far, but if you want to farm souls even faster, use kris blade and use a spell strong enough one shot the manta and you’ll get even more souls per kill.

                              I'm not completely sure but I believe this and other magic amplifying items increases the damage of the magic orbs that are automatically casted during an Old Monk invasion.
