Getting Started with the Chad Spec

The Chad spec has become a notable addition to Legacy Piece, known for its unique "Dark Souls-esque" combat style that rewards precise timing. Unlike some other specs that rely on raw power, Chad requires mastery of the parry mechanic. To begin your journey, you will need to travel to the Hollow Lands within the game.

Before you approach the Chad NPC, ensure you have your Combat style equipped. The questline requires you to use standard combat for the initial steps, so do not attempt to start this with other weapons or abilities active.

The Chad Questline Walkthrough

Unlocking the spec is a multi-stage process that tests your ability to handle both mobs and bosses. Here is the breakdown of the progression based on current community reports.

Phase 1: Initial Requirements

Once you interact with the Chad NPC in the Hollow Lands, you will be tasked with a series of objectives to prove your worth:

  • Parry 30 attacks: Must be done using the Combat style.
  • Defeat 100 Hollows: Use Combat style.
  • Defeat Ichigo: Use Combat style.
  • Defeat Aizen: Use Combat style.

If you are unsure where to find Ichigo or Aizen, locate the Whisper NPC in the Hollow Lands. They provide the option to summon these bosses for your quest.

Phase 2: Upgrading and Trials

After completing the initial quest, return to the Chad NPC to accept the "Heavy Headers" challenge. This unlocks the Chad spec, but you must upgrade it to reach its full potential. You will need to:

  1. Defeat a Level 25,000 boss 10 times: Players often recommend the Lost Afterimage boss on Grave Island, as it is relatively efficient to farm.
  2. Combat Milestones: Use Chad skills 150 times, deal 100 million damage, and take 1 million damage while the spec is equipped.
  3. Materials Farming: You will need specific items (Armored Skin Fragments, Giant Fist Remnants, Double Arm Cores, and the Heart of the Protector). These are obtained by sparring with the Chad boss, which you can spawn via the NPC.

Mastering the Boss Trials

The most challenging aspect of this questline is the two-part Trial. These fights are designed to test your parry timing specifically.

Trial 1: The First Encounter

You will be teleported into a room where you can only use the Chad spec. The boss has 1 million HP, and you cannot deal damage effectively until you successfully parry.

  • The Strategy: Wait for the boss to attack, then trigger your parry. A successful parry creates an opening, allowing you to deal damage. If you fail to parry, you will likely be overwhelmed. Community testers note that landing five parries before the boss transforms is a key strategy to surviving the encounter.

Trial 2: The Final Test

The second trial follows a similar logic to the first. You must parry three times to create a window for your normal damage output.

  • Tip: When the boss is low on health, they will perform a move marked by a red circle. You must parry immediately after the circle vanishes to avoid taking lethal damage.

Chad Spec Abilities and Passive

Once you have completed the trials, you will unlock the full Chad spec. The gameplay revolves around the Resolve Bar and the Fullbring passive.

  • Resolve Bar: Every time you land a hit, your Resolve bar fills up (up to 100).
  • V Move (Transformation): Once your Resolve bar hits 100, you can activate your V move, which triggers a transformation. This grants you a new moveset for a limited duration.
  • Playstyle: The spec is generally considered a "niche" but effective choice. While it may not output the highest numbers compared to top-tier meta specs, its reliance on parrying makes it highly rewarding for players who enjoy skill-based combat.

Tip

If you are struggling with the timing during the trials, focus solely on defense first. Do not try to spam your attacks; observe the boss's animations. Once you get the timing down for the parry, the rest of the fight becomes significantly easier.
