S-Tier Motivity Build
Motivity BuildA heavy-hitting Motivity build centered on three combinations of the Krat Police Baton, Big Pipe Wrench, and Live Puppet's Axe. Puppet String supplies mobility while stamina recovery, regeneration, defense, and stacking physical-damage amulets support its slow, punishing attacks.
Damage
Heavy Motivity hits with stacking Arm of God damage.
Survivability
+8% physical reduction, passive HP recovery, stronger Guard Regain.
Boss
Three weapon setups adapt speed, reach, and impact to each boss.
Motivity Build
Motivity is Lies of P's heavy-weapon damage stat, comparable to Strength in other soulslikes. It raises the damage of Motivity-scaling weapons and supports powerful attacks that trade speed for impact.
The build's most balanced assembly. The wrench head supplies heavy physical damage and the chargeable Patient Smash Fable Art, while the baton handle keeps the moveset faster and lighter than a full heavy weapon at the cost of reach.
Components / Fable Arts
How to Obtain
The build's mobility tool and preferred Legion Arm. Its final upgrade pulls Pinocchio toward a target and converts the approach into an aerial strike, helping slow Motivity weapons reach enemies without walking through an entire attack pattern.
Upgrades
- ▸Trace— Hold the Legion Arm input to track and pull an enemy.
- ▸Dodge— Allows a dodge after taking a hit.
- ▸Combo Attack— Turns a punch or zipline approach into the aerial follow-up that defines this build's gap closing.
How to Obtain
The stamina-support slot. Faster stamina recovery helps offset the high cost of heavy swings and leaves enough stamina available to dodge after committing to an attack.
How to Obtain
Combat Strategy
- ▸Choose the wrench-and-baton assembly for general play, the axe-blade assembly for reach, or the full Live Puppet's Axe for slow targets with long openings.
- ▸Keep equipment load between 50% and 70% by raising Capacity as heavier weapons and amulets come online.
- ▸Equip Patience, Recharged, Iron Wall, and Arm of God once enough amulet slots are available.
- ▸Use Puppet String's Combo Attack to zip toward the target and begin with its aerial strike.
- ▸Follow the landing with a heavy attack when the target is still recovering.
- ▸Use Strike Chance before a committed punish when the baton handle is equipped.
- ▸Use regular heavy attacks during safe openings and let successful hits build the Arm of God physical-damage buff.
- ▸Charge Patient Smash when the enemy is locked into a long animation. Its resistance to interruption supports an aggressive trade.
- ▸Switch to Killer Attack on the axe blade when a shorter two-slot Fable Art is safer than a fully charged Patient Smash.
- ▸Leave enough stamina after each attack to dodge. Patience Amulet shortens the recovery wait between commitments.
- ▸Let Recharged Amulet repair minor chip damage between exchanges so Pulse Cells remain available for emergencies.
- ▸Rely on Iron Wall to soften physical trades, but do not begin a slow attack without a real opening.
