sword or nemeis?

hello everyone i wanted to ask a question about cave story i arrived at the point where i could exchange the sword for the bleeding nemesis i should exchange the sword or keep her? thanks in advance

 

It's really a matter of personal preference. It won't be a betrayal to King if you give the sword to him, at least nobody in the game calls you out on it. Personally, I recommend that you take the Nemesis, play through the rest of the game with it, and decide which of the two weapons you like better, in all subsequent playthroughs of the game, have your preferred weapon.

 

I would always go with the Nemesis, by that point in the game the Blade has little purpose. However, if you don't like the Nemesis you can return to Mr.Little and he will give you back the Blade. Also, welcome to the forums!

 

the sword is strong but the nemesis is suitable for those who have a weapon that does not have to recharge for example if someone took the gun or the the snake is useful becaus it does not need to be recharged but for those who keep not the spur does not serve nemesis


wait realy? i can return the nemesis this is a good information

 

I know there are actually people that prefer the Blade to the Nemesis (I believe Dunc2403 is one of them), but of course I totally recommend the Nemesis. The Blade has an especially high Damage Per Second at levels 1 and 2, so take that for what it's worth. Nemesis is good for Hell because you don't need to level it up, but that's just me.

 

While I prefer the Blade, I know that this is much more a matter of personal preference than MG/Spur/Snake, where Snake is better in pretty much very way. Go ahead and try the Nemmy, figure out which one you like best.

Excuse me?
I know Machine Gun doesn't have very many fans, but you have to at least acknowledge that there are people that like the Spur. I prefer using it over the Snake.

 

I find no use for the Snake whatsoever, to be honest. It's good for Sacred Grounds speedruns, but that's about it.

I have always used the Polar Star, but if I had to pick I'd use Spur. As for Blade vs. Nemesis, I usually pick Blade. I find it somewhat heartless to leave King's soul with some idiot who can't even pick up his last monument. Usually I just "steal" his Nemesis, because honestly what use does he have for it? Either that, or "give" the Fireball with CaveShark.

 

Er polaris
I think he meant without modding the game, as that's how most people play games

 

Blade level 3 is special... in that you can fire it, switch weapons while it is doing area damage and deal extra damage with a second weapon.

UNFORTUNATELY, since there are no weapon key binds for individual weapons... it's useless to do this. Plus in CS+, the faster gameplay makes it silly to do.

Anyway, I choose the blade usually. I feel bad about not letting King get revenge, and end up as decoration for the Littles... "I'll get you for this!!! QUOTE!"

I know. In my first playthrough, before I had even heard of CaveShark, I chose to keep King's Blade.

 

In my first Best ending playthrough I picked the Nemesis, which went out of hand considering i'm a perfectionist. It aint easy when your brain keeps telling you to "GRAB THE SHINY THING". :/

 

sword or nemeis?

Yes.

Seriously I like to believe that, Polar Star vs Spur aside, all weapons are created equal.

The Blade allows for massive amounts of damage during close-range spamming on Lv2 and splash damage on Lv3 (for multiple enemies).
The Snake shoots through walls, but can't destroy blocks.
The Fireball hugs the ground and is great for attacking on curved slopes, but can't destroy blocks.
The Spur allows for charged shots.
The Bubbler allows you to create a shield of bubbles and turn said shield into a barrage of bullets. Can only destroy blocks at Lv3.
The Nemesis is powerful but requires that you dodge XP crystals to retain said power.
Super Missiles are powerful but have limited ammo.
The Machine Gun autofires and allows you to fly at Lv3. Alternating between the jump and fire buttons can allow you to fly indefinitely.

 

Sword, it deals damage up to 18 and doesn't require dodging Experience. Oh, and a god made that Nemisis, that sword belongs to King in favor of his triumphant efforts...

 

Lets put it this way..... either a sword given to you by a dead friend, or a duck shooter.

The Machine gun is really the best of the 3. Given that it's the first available, and how easy it makes the following levels with its infinite hover ability, there's no reason not to get it unless you're going to try to speedrun hell. It's not as powerful as the other 2 but most of the time you'll have the blade or nemesis anyways so power isn't going to be an issue.

 

It's basically what's been stated before. It's all personal bias on the weapon you prefer. Honestly, I always go with the Blade + Spur combo. I take blade for high dps spam (And to keep King close to me) and spur for high damage + range. (For all I care, Machine gun and Nemesis can go die in separate holes.)

 

I just automatically think "the dorito looking crystals will make your gun stronger." So i go towards the Crystals and *poof* its a duck shooter.
