      Interesting thing about that heavy attack is that it first shows up in Sekiro; it's known as the Ichimonji Chop or Double depending on which skill you're using. Im so glad to see it here in Elden Ring as it was one of my more favorite skills you could using in Sekiro

    Honestly, I'm getting to a point where I'm starting to realize any weapon is viable when it's got 287 buffs active. I'm leaning towards weapons that do decent damage with no buffs, or only need golden vow or flame gms. You can't keep using your wondrous physick repeatedly, so that's why I'm not too fond of buffs that require them.

      I'm running a dex arcane build with the occult modifier on 2 curved swords. Scavengers sword in the offhand and bandits curved sword in the main hand. Seppuku ash of war on bandits and everything dies very quickly. Dragon communion seal is still pretty broken in arcane and I've been messing with glintstone breath and its heavy! I don't like using buffs very much as my smooth brain favors simplicity

    • @SageSchispell
      @SageSchispell 2 роки тому +1

      To be honest the combination of Seluvis being a giant dickhead and Ranni being so popular boosts the odds that a lot of people would have missed this by a lot. It kinda makes doing Ranni's quest awkward too in order to get the Scorpion. Especially if you want the Dungeater puppet too since you need to literally go into the capital sewers which is hard enough when you're prepared. Then you top it all off with the fact you have to find his secret basement, and do another errand for him besides the random potion he basically shoved into your hand and this quest is annoying on top of the npc being a jerk.
      I will say it was strangely satisfying seeing him get his just desserts in the end of his quest and then going to cleanse myself of the "sin" that I knew held no consequence... for me at least.

  • @Cresteiphur
    @Cresteiphur 2 роки тому +3

    From the title, I thought the magic weapon art was going to proc bleed from some off-hand Seppuku shenanigan. In this context, it's more of a utility weapon than a magic one. You can see the same high AR on the Uchi if you go Dex instead of Str. It's just that strong attack that is the real highlight of it all. But since it only gets a C scaling, meaning 50~60 Str max, it does go well to power stance it since you don't really need the 50% Str bonus from 2handing.

    • @TheVillainInGlasses
      @TheVillainInGlasses 2 роки тому +1

      Uchi actually gets A scaling in STR, so you only lose 5 AR vs 60 Dex, so what he probably should have done is just make it Heavy and use Sudoku to proc the bonus from mask and talisman and leave bleed as a "nice if it procs, but unneccesary" thing.

    my first full playthrough I had rh meteoric oreblade and lh the meteoric staff for spamming rocksling. Honestly took me through the whole game no problems, and it was cool from a roleplay perspective to use gravitational magic weapons in both hands. NG+ I upgraded to the fallingstar beast jaw which also scales with strength, dex, and intelligence, and it actually feels TOO overpowered against bosses. The poise break/stagger potential alone of gravitational magic/weapons makes it hands down one of the strongest builds available for PVE (it can be a little slow for PVP, but still formidable).

Stop trying to invade with low vigor. If people stopped trying to push arbitrarily low level metas, in a game with whack ass scaling, you wouldn't see as many people abusing bleed. There are ways to adjust things, other than to completely remove it. Make bleed do flat damage, and add resistance scaling to players. Bam! Now you don't lose 1000+ hp on a bleed proc, and it gets harder to bleed you each time it procs. Or, you could have the AoW everyone cries about, not buff the overall AR of the weapon when applied.

      @@thiccolascage8180 loom I'm not going to sit and argue with someone who's argument involve name calling and such. I have 6000 hours in pvp across the souls games and have been here through dark souls 1 forrest fights, dark souls 2 bridge duels, dark souls 3 pontiffs, now elden ring. You are obviously attached to elden rings absurd bleed and that's okay. But at the end of the day a lot of people agree it needs a nerf. We talk about it on the dischords all the time. Most of the veterans don't use it at all because it's way too good and not engaging. We would like bleed to be balanced so we can have fun with it. This argument doesn't come from a "cryhard" perspective. I dont care about playing against bleed builds I can best anything with almost anything. I would like however to be able to make a bleed build and overcome the challenges that that imposes, not be handed an easy win cuz the mechanic is overturned. I want to play the game with a bleed build and not just press buttons and win. I'm dissapointed with seppuku because it's boring on the side of the user. I promise you it's not something I can't deal with fighting. But it's something that is so braindead and boring to use that I think it takes away from the game more than it adds to it.
      I love running a bleed build in dark souls 3 after the bleed nerf and overcoming the challenges therein. It's different and takes more effort and is far more engaging. And that'd what I want out of elden ring.
      I promise you, that after tens of thousands of wins your oppinion will change.
      But I get it. Right now the rush of winning a duel still gives you something and you want to see every build be as easy as your fav build so you can win more.
      I get my jollies from winning with horrible bad setups and memes. It's the only thing that entertains me anymore. I've played far to much souls pvp to be engaged with the current bleed meta setup.
      I do enjoy running bleed on the great stars tho that feels way more balanced and fun to USE

      It's actually not that bad, stick it in your left hand and then use triangle L1 to two hand it and then instead of using triangle R1 to swap to the right hand to use the skill just use triangle L1 again to go back to power stance and you can have the moonveil in the right hand and use its ash of war with L2. Eliminates the need to think what sword you're two handing and puts the combo to a simple triangle L1 then L2 for the skill and then repeat. Can be done extremely quickly and easily.

    @tyreikjohnson7793 2 роки тому +37

    They should add a follow-up attack to each of the gravitas weapons since there's a weapon from each category that has it if I'm not mistaken. And each category has a different attack based on the type, i.e a slash attack forward for katana, another slam for hammer, etc.

    The heavy is a reference to their previous game sekiro, which has a move called ichimonji and double ichimonji which is a powerful overhead swing

  • @talon5985
    @talon5985 2 роки тому +27

    The overhead one-handed attack looks like the one-handed ichimonji attack from the final 2 forms of Sekiro's last bossfight

    *ELDEN RING THEMED INVASION IDEA:*
    Each Item you equip, Must be from a different Remembrance Boss, Champion or Important character. As sort of a Theme, Remembering each boss or Combining a piece of the Powers from each boss. To become sort of the *Power Grafting Mega-Lord of Elden Ring.*
    For example:
    -MALENIA’S KATANA in main hand
    -CRUCIBLE HORN SHIELD or A SECOND WEAPON in Off hand.
    -VETERANS HELM
    -BLAIDD’S CHEST ARMOR
    -LORETTA’S GAUNTLETS
    -RADAHN’SGREAVES
    -AND ONLY USE INCANTATIONS & SPELLS FROM BOSSES/ CHAMPIONS etc.
    But, Any mix and match of pieces from those Iconic bosses/ enemies.

    Put a dagger with the golden vow ash of war in the second right hand weapon slot. You'll only need 15 faith that way for Flame Grant Me Strength and can reallocate 10 points to other stats.

    I played my first playthrough with 2 uchis - one with the iado on keen an and on the offhand uchi i used the gravitas ash of war. The reason for not choosing the metoric blade was symply because i played without any buffs or spells, so all of my points could go into dex, vigor and endurance. I wanted to create a real Samurai character with was no spells or buffs. Gravitas was mostly used for crowd control like birds and bats, which became really easy once they were on the ground and the stagger damage iado has, is insane - paired with how quick you get it off, its one of the most underrated ashes of war in the game imo. With this I beat the game much easier than for example with my mage. Really, gravitas is so useful und with the right scalling quite powerful.
    I am happy that more and more people try to get away from those meta picks and i believe your content really helps with that. So keep it up guys!
