Really looking forward to exploring this build, it looks super flashy and still effective, lots of ways to customize. I'm interested to see where the level meta lands (200?) as more folks get through the DLC - I definitely feel like 150 isn't enough anymore with how many builds are starving to effectively pump multiple stat splits while keeping vigor as high as possible. I'd like to see a build video in the future that effectively leverages FP-consumption-based offensive tools (from DLC and/or base game) like the Horned Bairn, et al.
The only thing that I don't like on this weapon is the lackluster R1 combo... or the lack thereof. It's just a basic poke. You really get this weapon for the throw and the skill. Those are amazing.
I love this weapon so much and had a really good time running it with 2 handed talisman, axe talisman, smithscript talisman, and shard of alexander. It really just gives you the option to always have an effective attack. Add in the wondrpus flask with the charge attack and fire boosting tears (or for enemies espevislly weak to fire the oil tear and fire tear).
I’ve been bouncing between a dex/faith build using this wep and a str/faith build using the Death knight axes, think the Death Knight axes are edging out for me, would love to see your take on a building using both or one of those :)
5:16 Strange if Winger Serpent Helm, is better than Messmer’s own for this build. Winged Serpent Helm: Enhances Fire Knight skills by 10% and Messmer's Helm: Slightly enhances incantations of Messmer's fire and Fire Knight skills by 3%
I would be very interested to see a poisoned hand build. I'm occasionally playing around with it, but I'm almost always defaulting back to the Dryleaf Arts.
@crimsonking7805 more poise helps but yeah bosses are gonna interrupt pretty much most chain combos in the dlc poise helps but yeah pick your moment when to unload a combo pretty simple
@@Stix.An.Stonez I found the whole Build extremely underwhelming besides the messer assault aow and that’s if you can ever get it off. The spear attacks are mainly pathetic.
To be honest, there's so many I could name in retrospect. I'd also say that I like black steel hammer over Great Stars because it has good faith scaling. The black steel great shield with sacred affinity boosts it to 100 guard against holy as well.
The two handed Talisman also increases the charged R2 by 15% so its a lot better then the Axe Talisman or the Smithscript since it buffs everything aside from the weapon skill by 15%. You could also combine this build with the Fire Knights Greatsword (i use flameskewer with flame art infusion for max fire damage) since that weapon profits of every Talisman in this build aswell (i use fire scorpion, Dragoncrest shield, shard of alexander and two handed talisman). The fire knights is better in bossfights since its moveset is not as clunky while messmers is better on horseback and while exploring due to charged R2, hope that helps everyone!
@@giacomocamellini so on lvl 200 you want about 60 vigor, 20 mind, 35 endurance because we use 2 weapons, 22 strength to carry the Knights greatsword one handed on horseback, 60 dexterity, 60 faith and no points in int or arcane, for seals id either recommend gravel stone for knights ancient lightning spear and ancient dragon lightning strike or fire giant seal for burn o flame, flame of the Fell god, flame fall upon them and giantsflame take thee depending on what u prefer. Buffs are of course flame grant me strength (the +20% fire dmg goes crazy with this one) and golden vow. Flask is fire shrouding (necessary) and either faith, greenburst or spiked for r2 charge attacks. Oh and if you are on ng+ id recommend dual wielding the seal of your choice since the damage multiplier on both the seals I recommended stacks (+32% for gravel and +42% dmg for fire giants). Round the build out with mesmers orb and catch flame since they are op and profit of flame grant me strength, fire scorpion charm and flame shrouding tear. For armor either wear Rakshasas Set for the 8% Bonus dmg for everything or just mesmers helmet+ anything that will give you atleast 51 poise without fat rolling. Hope that helps!
A build around the St. Trina weapons would be fun. A sleep/poison build with the new velvet sword of St. Trina or maybe based of Thiollier's hidden needle.
I love using the throw to lure enemies into the mesmers orb or the weapon skill. It is also goated from torrent against beasts. Nothing beats running circles around the bears and hippos while riddling them with firey spears
I’m literally here at Messmers door, I both dread and can’t wait to fight (and die to) him a couple dozen times😭. Commander gaius took me a good 10 attempts
Hey bud, so I’ve done extensive talisman testing with this weapon and discovered the following: In terms of single talisman damage overall, the Two Handed Talisman is stronger than the charge attack talisman and the Fire Scorpion Charm. This is more of an increase, and it does apply to throwing the weapon if you’re two handing. Also, I would love to be a Shadow contributor to the channel. I watch every video, and have since Elden ring launch.
Did they nerf the range on the spear throw R2? There was a video of a guy free aiming it from a cliff and hitting enemies thousands of feet below for 1k+ damage.
I've been powerstancing this with Vyke's Greatspear and it's been insanely fun. Messmer's spear is super versatile in combat, def reccommend! The two Messmer flame incantations are also very solid (ignore the fire rain one it's complete ass)
Actually such a dissapointment that the great spear moveset sucks ass, the ash of war and the r2 is really good but the moveset is ass unless ur using guard counters with a shield.
I would love to see a build with Romina’s poleblade. It’s such a visually pleasing weapon and u just want to know for sure if there’s potential for it.
Rashaka legs and gauntlets would be a great damage increase as well u already have the fire scorpion charm so u might as well maximize on the damage u deal plus it would help with the poise issue
-use the shield Moore drops -use shield buffing talismans/sorcs/incants if possible -use the scarlet rot spear -literally block everything and chip away at his health with scarlet rot shield pokes
Hey man it’s not a spoiler for me so I don’t mind but like call it the final boss or something. There’s literally no reason to say what you just did - I get people shouldn’t be on UA-cam but still man. Be better, think of others.
I just made this build but I changed the seal that your using. You can find the Fire Knight Seal in the shadow keep which boosts Messmers Fire incantations. Then you have your armor boosting fire knight skills and the seal boosting the fire incantations.😎
*The Godslayer's Seal* as your catalyst is still better at 60 Faith than the *Fire Knight's Seal* as the additional damage from all three sources for the Messmer Incantations is only negligible at best; it's only useful in your off-hand
I’d really like to see if you could make something happen with the weapon and spell from the saint of the bud rememberance. It’s been on my mind nonstop. A scarlet rot knight build, with dex faith or something

How many bosses are there in the DLC
@@victorolmos3639 isn't that kind of what this is?
@@victorolmos3639this is a faith and dex build
I’ve never heard Fextra so passionate about killing the dang finger creepers lol.
who doesn't hate those things
I thought the same thing!
lol, the most emotion I've heard on this channel and it made me laugh out loud because I 100% agree
Bro’s got finger ptsd
Lmao, just explained to my friend what a finger creeper was and I've never seen this man more disturbed in my life. 😅
I have been so impressed with this dlc guides and content of the game. Keep at it Fextra! Have a great weekend
This is the coolest weapon period those spears that come out of the ground are wicked.
Really looking forward to exploring this build, it looks super flashy and still effective, lots of ways to customize.

Booted up the tube, hoping fextra finally dropped this weapon build. What can I say fextra always delivers

It really just gives you the option to always have an effective attack. Add in the wondrpus flask with the charge attack and fire boosting tears (or for enemies espevislly weak to fire the oil tear and fire tear).
Thick video could not have come at a better time. I just beat mesmer last night and was debating a re spec so I could use that weapon
I’ve been bouncing between a dex/faith build using this wep and a str/faith build using the Death knight axes, think the Death Knight axes are edging out for me, would love to see your take on a building using both or one of those :)
the fire knight’s greatsword would work very well with this build, and it’s also a really fun weapon
5:16 Strange if Winger Serpent Helm, is better than Messmer’s own for this build.
Winged Serpent Helm: Enhances Fire Knight skills by 10% and Messmer's Helm: Slightly enhances incantations of Messmer's fire and Fire Knight skills by 3%
Another amazing video fex, but please get some rest my man, you deserve it
Build ideas (weapons): Death Knights Long shaft or Twin Axes
Ancient Meteoric Ore Blade
Putrescence Cleaver
Star-Lined Sword
Obsidian Lamina (SLEPT on)
Scaled gloves/greaves are matching well enough to keep the general look while reaching 51 poise.
loving the build videos even though i just unga bunga dual great katana lol
Was lerking for a new build, and you provided
first! loving the fextra builds! i made this same one day 2 and its very strong.
Pair this weapon with the backhand blade for Quicker kill situations just mental
Brother this is by far the best build video I've seen keep up the great work. Definitely subscribing lol
Super duper interested in your take on a Euporia build! I know people have been buzzing about that weapon
i decided to try this build .. takes some getting used to but it's fun so far .. gonna try it on some bosses just to get it down...
I would be very interested to see a poisoned hand build. I'm occasionally playing around with it, but I'm almost always defaulting back to the Dryleaf Arts.
Justice For Mohg!
We need a Mohg build to celebrate his innocence!
Perfect timing. Beat messmer 20 mins ago haha
I might have killed him the EXACT same moment as you 😂
I'd love if you could make a build based around the anvil hammer, I'm struggling to appoint stats effectively for it
damn i didn't know about the 3rd follow up. this is why i watch these videos...
I've just got this weapon and I'm loving it! Running a shield with it though. Focusing on guard counters
Awesome guides man, loving this one. You'll be hitting that mil subs soon!
Built mine, lvl 246 running the spear, messmers spells and the fire knights colossal sword
If you want armour for 51 poise that still looks alright with the winged serpent helm I use twinned armor and gauntlets and blackflame monk greaves
Great vid Fex. I'd love to see a dualwield dex/int build soon!
I was hoping for this to drop. Amazing channel
Nice video! I would really like to see you do a star-lined sword build.
From all the remembrances, this weapon is the only one that works
I just beat this man like 30 mins ago
Could you do one using sum related to madness or using the sword of damnation ?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone so excited to kill the fingers
Thanks for showing how to use this!
Could you please make a build around the STARLINE LINED SWORD
Hearing this guy swear hit different
Pls help do a boss guide for Radahn🙏🙏
I wish you could say “in the embrace of messmers flame” after each kill.
love dis build
4:09 I bet you would go full 1939-45 with the finger creepers (you would put them on an oven)
I love this weapons ash of war but it should have more poise to let you finish your combo against bosses. Why? Because it's fun.
Sleep build?
Would it be crazy if my Sauron build uses this Great Spear? Getting tired of the Great Mace.
Off topic but can anyone tell me what helmet he’s using? It fits so well with that armor set.
Are you sure rotten sword / Millicent’s affects the damage of the AoW? Some have said it doesn’t
I've basically binned all the scorpion charms in this DLC...
How much of a damage boost does oil flask provide to this build?
I used mimic to beat messmer, I just couldn’t do it I’m sorry
me too bro, i was struggling on phase 2😭😭😭😭 for like 6 hrs straight
Don't be sorry, be proud, you made it.
Stand behind pillar and spam mohg spear ability. Takes like 1 min to solo
Is there an early build you'd recommend that would lead up nicely to this build?
any
What about fireknight greatsword build? Sp far my go to weapon as a strength build
I just defeated Messmer and here you are... With a build just for his weapon. 😂
Ahhh 😌 F$@KS up fingers! Love it 😂😂😂
Winged serpent helm or Messmer's helm for this build?
This weapon deserved unique regular attack animations but aow is ''fire'' tho.
I tried a similar build last night and while super cool looking especially the moves it’s just too slow and clunky for me
Lol slow ok
DLC Bosses don't let you finish these long anime animations without knocking you out of it or just murdering you.
@crimsonking7805 more poise helps but yeah bosses are gonna interrupt pretty much most chain combos in the dlc poise helps but yeah pick your moment when to unload a combo pretty simple
@@Stix.An.Stonez I found the whole
Build extremely underwhelming besides the messer assault aow and that’s if you can ever get it off. The spear attacks are mainly pathetic.
@StoneShadow812 gotta just get good man dunno what yo tell ya solid build just gotta know what ya doing
Does talisman of the dread work?
Dragon hunter great katana
I think Fextra hates fingers 😂😂😂.
What should the stats be for ng+
do faith increase the demage on my normal combos?
Any chance for swordlance build please 🙏
You can also throw the spear while riding your horse which is more fun than it should be
That’s probably from the clip in the launch trailer
Locking onto enemies has basically auto aim but if you free ball it you feel like a horseman out of hell
"Absolutely fucks up fingers.." is the new "Pancakes enemies" for favorite Fextralife quote.
was quite a shock to hear that, I feel like iv never heard him speak like that lol
Hahahahhaha. Love it!
"Try fire, but Finger!"
i remember in one of the SoNaF build vids early on the called it "fucking stupid damage" or something like that but yeah it's pretty rare lol
Didn’t hear such contempt for an enemy since last time my man Igon took a shot at Bayle.
Waiting for a lightning build with the new death knight weapons and incantations 😁
I second this, we need an updated Lightning God build
I want to see someone build minato with the lightning weapons
The death knight weapons are super fun just wish the long axe L2 had better poise
Full death knight set, 2 gravel stone seal, lightning scorpion charm and shrouding tear.
Using the Dragon Priestess Heart to boost all Dragon Cult lightning incantations. And her weapon does the red lightning bolt
This DLC really was good to us faith mains. This weapon became one of my top 5 favorite weapons to use in the whole game, not just DLC.
You’re so right. What would you put as the other 4? I’m interested in building out a couple options without having to respec.
To be honest, there's so many I could name in retrospect. I'd also say that I like black steel hammer over Great Stars because it has good faith scaling. The black steel great shield with sacred affinity boosts it to 100 guard against holy as well.

How did you distribute the attributes?
@@giacomocamellini i have 30 faith and 70 dex which is about 800 ar with the +10 spear with golden vow and flame grant me strength its 1700
How much strengh pls ?
The two handed talisman works even when throwing with one hand ?

Did they nerf the range on the spear throw R2? There was a video of a guy free aiming it from a cliff and hitting enemies thousands of feet below for 1k+ damage.
were u fighting a fallingstar beast in the DLC or am i tripping
You were NOT tripping, and if you like gravity spells you might wanna fight him 😉

what's the advantage of power stancing with another greatspear? i'm not doubting, i'm just curious! :)

Great. Back into elden ring i go because this looks INSANE
Actually such a dissapointment that the great spear moveset sucks ass, the ash of war and the r2 is really good but the moveset is ass unless ur using guard counters with a shield.
Bro I'm lvl 300 80 faith 80 dex 40 strength and tried this build on the roads and it doesn't do good
4:02 😂😂😂 I felt that
Please make a build on devonias greathammer. It is extremely fun to use and very powerful🙏🏼
The greaves and gauntlets from the new Solitude set compliment this armor nicely. It matches look wise and shores up the lacking defense and poise
I would love to see a build with Romina’s poleblade.
It’s such a visually pleasing weapon and u just want to know for sure if there’s potential for it.
I love getting interrupted while using the weapon skill
More poise then
Git gud
Rashaka legs and gauntlets would be a great damage increase as well u already have the fire scorpion charm so u might as well maximize on the damage u deal plus it would help with the poise issue
