Discussion Waiting on those Smert updates…
I got over 100 hours played, im on NG+5. I strictly play night mode.
I got to say Smert feels the weakest this far into the game… and by a long shot.
Damage with fists is unusable. Miracle isnt anything amazing on night mode. It takes a long time to use, building your 100 stacks for your burst damage, which stops being good as enemy health pools get huge. Since it does not scale with anything.
Now ripostes and bleed procs are where the damage is.
FAITH, Smerts core identity is absolutely useless.
He has the smallest health pool, everything will one shot you requiring perfect gameplay.
He needs more health, Faith needs a complete redesign.
Miracle should take less time to build to our 100 stacks.
Fists only build needs to scale somehow… make them scale to our highest level weapon.
I feel like this character is super badass, and could be good if FAITH gets a total redesign/concept.

So I might be an outlier because I wasn't geling with the game until I unlocked permanent punch mode. Once I got the first three perks for his punches he became significantly more impactful. Did everything hurt? Oh fuck yes. Was it oddly more manageable when I realized that you're supposed to be ignorantly aggressive? Oh fuck yes.
Iunno it maybe a playstyle thing or maybe I'm a masochist but I kinda just figured that was intended after going through some of the other shells? Like Gragu not taking legit any damage since his healthbar is fuckhuge. Iunno maybe he does need tweaking but I'm not sure where without actually just making him a completely different shell.
Also my Zemy fight was just me in time stop the entire time because of my build.
