@@wealthybone2990 htw = heavy thrusting sword and I retracted the rip invaders afterwards bc icerind hatchet is monster now and other options are great now, I just thought about that because of thunderstorm and Radahn's rain got nerfed into the ground
@@Ertzy_ Oh yeah honestly I thought heavy thrusting swords were good idk why she didn't think so but yeah I don't think that was needed. Also that nerf was very needed I think because dealing with them is very annoying, mostly the arrow rain but it still looks like it does alot of dmg just not one shot you almost.
It's not even significant enough to be worth mentioning. It's not even a nerf, just shuffled poise damage for balance like other dude said, so spamming the enchanted R2 isn't so cheesy at range.
Dumb decision, and this is coming from someone who struggles to get close to him before he goes to the other side of the map, everybody wants things made easier it ruins the experience🙄
Elden Beast with Torrent might be the best change to the game. I don't know how anyone ever thought a giant flying creature and slow running speed was a good idea.
Thank you!!! I saw people saying "oh man he's gonna be easy now" like bro what he still one of the stronger bosses in game you can still get one shot. Except now not from 30 miles away cause you're trying to run up to him
Yeah, it was obnoxious, but really huge bosses leading to too much boss chasing instead of boss fighting is a bad idea devs seem to have across the entire world of game development. Not sure if they just never play the huge bosses themselves to realize how annoying the chasing is, or there's some correlation between being the type of person who designs games and being the type of person who inexplicably somehow enjoys that sort of chasing.
@@bigred212 Nah the Elden Beast was well-designed. It's the final test, thematically and literally. He positions himself in a way that turns his attacks into the most epic obstacle course in gaming, as you slowly make your way closer to deal damage. The problem was never Elden Beast, the problem was always making you refight Radagon every time you die. Now the boss is a janky mess. Using Torrent completely destroys the flow of the fight, and it is insanely obvious the fight was not designed with Torrent in mind. But hey, at least it's easier, right?
@@tripandmasontinsley3353 I think envoy longhorn too?Though I don't remember exactly. But yea, L Bloodboon Ritual and Bubble Shower nerf, definitely not a peak update.

Radahn's Rain is exactly where it should be, honestly. Yeah, it was fun, but come on-one-shotting a guy from a mile away even outside of line-of-sight is straight-up broken. Golem arrows or not.
Fun fact the godskin Noble in the temple of eiglay can be cheesed in his second phase when he does the rolling attack go behind the little altar and use an ash of war that has some range on it such as the spinning wheel

About fucking time we got some PVP changes. Now I can feel strong again using my fucking strength build and I love the damage reduction the power stance weapons. I would intentionally not upgrade my weapons all the way just to not feel slimy when I'm power stancing🎉
That's funny, just yesterday I stumbled on an Elden Ring critique video that pointed out the problem with Torrent being unavailable in the Elden Beast's huge arena.
Less of a nerf since the actual R2 sword attacks got a buff, the ash itself was weakened but they’re just trying to encourage more balanced play. Unlike what they did to Blasphemous… no knockdown on the fire is killer. But it needed a good nerf and DMGS needed a slight boost as a weapon. The Moonlight ash should be used in conjunction with spells as opposed to as a long range attack itself since it grants a buff, and terra magica got nerfed too.
I seriously appreciate it SOOO MUCH that you actually test these things, and not just read the goddamn patch notes. I can read myself... but I have nobody I can test stuff with, so this is really nice.
good patch but sad they nerfed my beloved bubble shower right before the dlc. i was doing a full envoy build going into the dlc too. felt like fromsoft just wanted to spite me in particular. not even buffing the other funny horns to compensate or making it so the envoy crown buffs bubble spells as well as horn skills.
I’m interested to see if the poise nerf to “some attack” on thrusting swords effects their non-power-stanced L1. That could result in lower meta poise breakpoints. Also interested to see if offhand icerind or forked hatchet become more popular than offstoc for that reason.
You did miss out on a lot of the PvE changes. Source for values: ua-cam.com/video/_dYEAwMvGS0/v-deo.html&t Terra Magica got reduced from 33% to 25% or so Cerulean Hidden Tear got a duration change from 15 to 10 Glintblade Phallanx is now trash tier with its poise damage being cut in half Moonlight Greatsword will now only deal its full poise damage point blank and the skill does less poise damage Envoys Longhorn is now trash as it got its poise and damage reduced by about half. Dragonking Cragblade got a decrease in it's poise damage as well Mohgwyns Spear - status effect buildup got reduced Jellyfish Shield - reduced the added power by about 5% Also didn't mention any of the buffs to the Golden Order and Dragonmark seals as well as nice buffs to Gelmir and Prince of Death staffs with its scaling.
@@MrZalgo-ml2iw sigh as if there aren't enough ways to cheese anything in this game if you are willing, they need to learn to divide games like sekiro where its pure skills vs rpgs where grinding and equipment HAS to make a difference, if you move too much into the pure skill territory it stops being a rpg and turns into a elitist's paradise.
The golden order seal scaling buff, at least at 80/80, went from 390 to 391 IDK about the others, just thought I'd mention it, but it might have more impact at lower stat levels since scaling isn't linnear
Yay, they buff all my favorite stuff again. Moonveil was probably nerfed because there's a talisman that increases the damage of weapon stance if I recall.
"options for invaders dont look so good anymore" thank god I've been playing with taunters tongue while waiting for the DLC and the amount of people using the same boring setups is ridiculous I just hope spinning slash dragon halberd users need to actually play the game now cant wait to bathe in their tears
i'm surprised blasphemous blade didn't ready get nerfed much at all just slight damage down on the fire and the WA doesn't knock ppl down anymore (supposedly that is)
@@chrispalmer6804 The damage wasn't nerfed, the poise damage was. So Malenia cheese is gone, but that's all the nerf really does. You're not going for staggers with BB, you just spam Taker's Flame till thing dies. In open world play it's actually not that bad to lose the knock back. Since nicely grouped up enemies are not being knocked away from the next taker's flame. I guess you could say that enemies like the Misbegotten Warriors and Cleanrot Knights will be more likely to get a hit in between uses, but that's a minor issue at worst.

Now all the magic haters know what I felt when *'Stars of Ruin'* which was the only good chip-damage spell in the game, got nerfed into oblivion. People acted like that was a oneshot when it was really the only spell in PvP which could apply constant pressure even against the sweatiest nerds with no-life level of metaknowledge. *_" Oh not it cannot be that there is a single spell that can still not make more damage than me with my maximized melee-build of either str, dex or arcane! "_* ps: I saw *'ChaseTheBro'* occassionally oneshot someone with Radahn's rain though. 😆 Makes me feel like 90% of FromSofts decision making comes from watching his videos. ^_^
Are you stupid? Stars of Ruin was a spammy, undodgable projectile with insane range and damage. It wasn't "chip" damage it was "chunk" damage. Radahns rain only killed people dumb enough to stand still or because they climbed a ladder while they didn't know where the invader was, you were never standing infront of someone and spamming it like you would stars of ruin because it's too slow and has too little tracking.
Stars was not just an almost one shot (if fully buffed) that would at least chip you for some damage while rolling 99% of the time, it was also spammable (low fp cost and very fast cast speed)
As someone who avoids PvP like the plague, I can't wrap my head around how people can simultaneously complain about "much needed nerfs" to old powerful weapons while also salivating over trying "the new meta," especially in a game where there are finite resources to upgrade weapons without starting over. Tomorrow's "new meta" is just going to become yesterday's "much needed nerf," so why play this stupid dance of finding meta > crying about meta > celebrating nerf > finding next meta? If meta weapons are bad, then the idea that there would be a "next meta" should be cause for disappointment rather than excitement. If meta's AREN'T bad, then why demand nerfs to them?
Honestly disappointed in the nerfing of all the cool/fun stuff in the game. Especially for PvE, what's the point? Like you said; all that's going to happen now is that all those new untouched DLC weapons are going to be figured out by the community. People are going to find the new 10% of weapons that are top tier and we're going to see 100s of builds with just those weapons. Why would fromsoft kill all these weapons/ashes right before a DLC drop. This sucks man.
No This isnt a pvp game The problem isnt meta builds its How oppressive the meta is And it getting stale This gigantic introduction is shifting the meta towards the new stuff Giving us new toys to play with While nerfing the past meta Hopefully that means the dlc had pvp in mind and wants us to use it Dont think its going so well tho
the amount of times iv had hosts get insta killed by thunderstorm was so abysmal i stopped doing coop at low levels finally its nerfed, that aow was so broken. You could have 3 people spam attack someone doing it and not break their pose then get insta clapped because the insane damage and stagger

I beat the Elden Beast with Mimic Ashes and Starfists. I also had the Tree Sentinel's set and the Haligdrake Talisman +2 for Holy DR. I myself was surprised that I was able to best it without dying.
Another change I noticed is that they seem to have fixed some skips that involved Torrent, notably Concecrated Snowfield Skip, so that sucks. Gonna have to go back to Niall now to get there...
Oh wow I missed the turning summoning stakes on and off. Sweet! No more getting stuffed into Radagon/Ekden Beast fight at nauseam😂 Also no more Cerrulean Crystal year comet azur bosses. The tear was needed from 10s to 5s
I'd disagree. It destroys metas and ashes of war gang spams. If anything, it's an improvement to invasions. Because hosts can spam ashes and use those same op stuff as invaders, think bigger. Now there's more incentive for skill and use of ashes, they'll still do damage, still have poise (just activates slightly later to avoid lt spam on hit), can stun and such. Just gotta be smarter and try out other ashes of war. Now we won't see the same 3 ashes of war spam. Do you get what I mean?
all these changes are great, and the heavy thrusting sword nerf was needed. the sprinting attack paired with light rolls and poison was and glintstone pebbles was a HUGE pain in the ass (not to mention that the blood noble sword was verry strong too)
@@Jammermt99 Malenia is my favorite boss out of any game I've ever played, and this is my favorite game of all time, so no I won't be leaving this game anytime soon. Just because I don't like the latency ridden buggy trash that is this game's PVP doesn't mean I don't like the game.
As I've stated before, I've heard there will be a talisman in the DLC that buffs "stance" ashes of war. I also stated that this with Moonveil would be oppressive AF as it's damage was already pretty overtuned for it's speed and giving it the ability to do *more* damage with a talisman would be ridiculous. My guess is that the Transient Moonlight nerf will be made up for with the new talisman. It also looks like many of the cheesier weapons people relied on for PvE have also been nerfed. Blasphemous Blade, Mohg's Sacred Spear even the Envoy's Longhorn all saw their ashes nerfed in logical ways that imply they don't want people to just spam them and win encounters.
you forgot the say cerulean tear(tear gives you infinite fp) time is reduced(15 seconds to 10) and another spell buff spells power reduced. Meaning they nerfed comet azur build again :D
They also extended the kill-plane in Morbin' Palace, so the best rune farm in the game doesn't exist anymore. I used it on my brother's acc pre-patch, so he could catch up the few levels he was behind (we play together, but I die less) and I tried it today to stock up on consumables and upgrade some weapons in my inventory, so I'm pretty sure I did it correctly and they must've changed it.
They fixed jumping-of-the-lift glitch too. I tried the spot in the Mogh palace, still can reset death while jumping overtimes, but absolute dead at the bottom of map.
I just finished up my DLC prep playthrough today by killing Elden Beast on Torrent. It was like learning a new boss but once I got it the battle was actually kinda great, kinda wish that the game had more intense horseback bosses that aren't the millionth dragon or Radahn.
Tbh i didn't mind dealing with the last rites glitch. You use Law of Regression and it's just a matter of time before it ran out....... or i used godskin fire to burn them into submission (or until i died, whichever came first)
the rain of arrows and thunderstorm damage is what is gonna hurt a lot of invaders who use them to bully(read exterminate) any host who keep standing still, personally going from 100 to 0 was not exactly "balaced", but know both ashes aren't worth using at any circustance at all now,easirt to use pots or cannon of haima instead
The first thing I tried to do when the fight with Elden Beast just started was to summon torrent... my first though it was "he's so far, it must be a torrent fight" It took a few years but it's finally here
Mommy Ranni!!! I founf a weapon with a true combo!!! The first weapon you can possibly get in the DLC, the cursedblade's cirque, has a true combo. Stary with heavy and go into its second hit with heavy then you can straight up chain into light attacks.
THE DLC WILL BE LIVE IN A FEW HOURS! Do you like the new patch?

I’m interested to see if the poise nerf to “some attack” on thrusting swords effects their non-power-stanced L1. That could result in lower meta poise breakpoints.
Also interested to see if offhand icerind or forked hatchet become more popular than offstoc for that reason.
I already main zamor cgs with offrind hatchet and it was good before. Very excited for the buffs to both weapons!
You did miss out on a lot of the PvE changes. Source for values: ua-cam.com/video/_dYEAwMvGS0/v-deo.html&t
Terra Magica got reduced from 33% to 25% or so
Cerulean Hidden Tear got a duration change from 15 to 10
Glintblade Phallanx is now trash tier with its poise damage being cut in half
Moonlight Greatsword will now only deal its full poise damage point blank and the skill does less poise damage
Envoys Longhorn is now trash as it got its poise and damage reduced by about half.
Dragonking Cragblade got a decrease in it's poise damage as well
Mohgwyns Spear - status effect buildup got reduced
Jellyfish Shield - reduced the added power by about 5%
Also didn't mention any of the buffs to the Golden Order and Dragonmark seals as well as nice buffs to Gelmir and Prince of Death staffs with its scaling.
why the Cerulean Hidden Tear? why cant those people leave pve alone?
@@colorpg152 Comet Azur cheese against Mohg is the reason most likely.
@@MrZalgo-ml2iw sigh as if there aren't enough ways to cheese anything in this game if you are willing, they need to learn to divide games like sekiro where its pure skills vs rpgs where grinding and equipment HAS to make a difference, if you move too much into the pure skill territory it stops being a rpg and turns into a elitist's paradise.
@@colorpg152 10 seconds for cerulean tear is actively 5~7, if you count preparation animations
The golden order seal scaling buff, at least at 80/80, went from 390 to 391
IDK about the others, just thought I'd mention it, but it might have more impact at lower stat levels since scaling isn't linnear
Yay, they buff all my favorite stuff again. Moonveil was probably nerfed because there's a talisman that increases the damage of weapon stance if I recall.
"options for invaders dont look so good anymore" thank god I've been playing with taunters tongue while waiting for the DLC and the amount of people using the same boring setups is ridiculous I just hope spinning slash dragon halberd users need to actually play the game now cant wait to bathe in their tears
Thunderstorm enjoyer - look how they massacred my boy😭🧎🏻♂️
why does from soft hate invaders? haha

i'm surprised blasphemous blade didn't ready get nerfed much at all just slight damage down on the fire and the WA doesn't knock ppl down anymore (supposedly that is)
@@chrispalmer6804 The damage wasn't nerfed, the poise damage was. So Malenia cheese is gone, but that's all the nerf really does. You're not going for staggers with BB, you just spam Taker's Flame till thing dies. In open world play it's actually not that bad to lose the knock back. Since nicely grouped up enemies are not being knocked away from the next taker's flame. I guess you could say that enemies like the Misbegotten Warriors and Cleanrot Knights will be more likely to get a hit in between uses, but that's a minor issue at worst.
@@sehrverrueckt3358did you just say “watch everyone start using giantsflame take thee”? Because that’s all I heard 🤪🤣

Bhs got nerfed in the previous, previous patch. What are you on about lol
Seeing Torrent in Elden beast feels like a fever dream now. Never thought it would happen
They debuffed my blasphemus blade but they did not fix the chainsaw glitch -_-
Totally off topic but I very much appreciate the usage of music from Silent Hill 3 in the intro! It’s a pretty chill track! Love the vid!
Not my storm hawk 😭
I wish they had kept the animation bug for the last rights glitch in, was just hilarious to see and was even funnier when you would do emotes while it was happening, rip
Now all the magic haters know what I felt when *'Stars of Ruin'* which was the only good chip-damage spell in the game, got nerfed into oblivion.
People acted like that was a oneshot when it was really the only spell in PvP which could apply constant pressure even against the sweatiest nerds with no-life level of metaknowledge.
*_" Oh not it cannot be that there is a single spell that can still not make more damage than me with my maximized melee-build of either str, dex or arcane! "_*
ps: I saw *'ChaseTheBro'* occassionally oneshot someone with Radahn's rain though. 😆 Makes me feel like 90% of FromSofts decision making comes from watching his videos. ^_^
Are you stupid? Stars of Ruin was a spammy, undodgable projectile with insane range and damage. It wasn't "chip" damage it was "chunk" damage. Radahns rain only killed people dumb enough to stand still or because they climbed a ladder while they didn't know where the invader was, you were never standing infront of someone and spamming it like you would stars of ruin because it's too slow and has too little tracking.
Stars was not just an almost one shot (if fully buffed) that would at least chip you for some damage while rolling 99% of the time, it was also spammable (low fp cost and very fast cast speed)
How much less damage do heavy thrusting swords do? Is there a spreadsheet that I can view?
"options for invaders don't look so good anymore" exactly what I was thinking, almost word for word!
As someone who avoids PvP like the plague, I can't wrap my head around how people can simultaneously complain about "much needed nerfs" to old powerful weapons while also salivating over trying "the new meta," especially in a game where there are finite resources to upgrade weapons without starting over. Tomorrow's "new meta" is just going to become yesterday's "much needed nerf," so why play this stupid dance of finding meta > crying about meta > celebrating nerf > finding next meta? If meta weapons are bad, then the idea that there would be a "next meta" should be cause for disappointment rather than excitement. If meta's AREN'T bad, then why demand nerfs to them?
Honestly disappointed in the nerfing of all the cool/fun stuff in the game. Especially for PvE, what's the point? Like you said; all that's going to happen now is that all those new untouched DLC weapons are going to be figured out by the community. People are going to find the new 10% of weapons that are top tier and we're going to see 100s of builds with just those weapons. Why would fromsoft kill all these weapons/ashes right before a DLC drop. This sucks man.
No
This isnt a pvp game
The problem isnt meta builds its
How oppressive the meta is
And it getting stale
This gigantic introduction is shifting the meta towards the new stuff
Giving us new toys to play with
While nerfing the past meta
Hopefully that means the dlc had pvp in mind and wants us to use it
Dont think its going so well tho
It's like From watched a bunch of chasethebro videos and went oh no gotta change that ash of war.
Is blasphemous blade still worth using? I mainly used it for its health regen ability
Well yes for that it's still op. Just put it in your off hand if you want a better weapon to fight with.
can't believe that RANNI didn't mention the change to the Dark Moon Greatsword
Nooo my poor blasphemous blade, what have they done to you
BB is still pretty good tbh. I just beat the Dancing lion boss in NG+ using BB and beat him under 15 tries. Still rock solid

Not "fixed"at all. I've been using it to fast track a new character for the DLC
RIP to the Last Rites Glitch XD
4:26 : there are some good players when it came to the heavy thrusters. I've ran into some that were brutal and confident. But thats just me and my experience.
8:10 : HOWEVER WHAT THEY DIDNT PATCH; The jump Bow Glitch & Spell Swapping *yes you can do catch flame into that one magma dragon incantation.
I liked being able to tank half of the end game enemies and bosses😭
0:42 OK listen I’m not a snowflake anything but I do like the fact that this could work for a black character I’ve been wanting to say “I’m black” in a video game for the longest time without saying “I’m black” in a video game and those locs is just about everything I could ask for and like maybe 3 more options but thy thanks fromsoft it’s going in the right direction (I know we hd barrel braids but I want more)
Oh are you black? That’s cool. I always thought it was just a legend.
This video is so good, I hate people who just read the patch notes. You actually showing the changes is great.
Question: What’s Your Biggest or Best Boss Win you have in Elden Ring?
Mine was Beating Godskin Duo in One Try
I beat the Elden Beast with Mimic Ashes and Starfists. I also had the Tree Sentinel's set and the Haligdrake Talisman +2 for Holy DR. I myself was surprised that I was able to best it without dying.
Another change I noticed is that they seem to have fixed some skips that involved Torrent, notably Concecrated Snowfield Skip, so that sucks. Gonna have to go back to Niall now to get there...
chainsaw intended confirmed !
Oh wow I missed the turning summoning stakes on and off. Sweet! No more getting stuffed into Radagon/Ekden Beast fight at nauseam😂
Also no more Cerrulean Crystal year comet azur bosses. The tear was needed from 10s to 5s
This patch kills invasions. Nice.
I'd disagree. It destroys metas and ashes of war gang spams. If anything, it's an improvement to invasions. Because hosts can spam ashes and use those same op stuff as invaders, think bigger. Now there's more incentive for skill and use of ashes, they'll still do damage, still have poise (just activates slightly later to avoid lt spam on hit), can stun and such. Just gotta be smarter and try out other ashes of war. Now we won't see the same 3 ashes of war spam. Do you get what I mean?
it doesn’t, it just evens the playing field giving host a fighting chance against invaders using broken gear.
all these changes are great, and the heavy thrusting sword nerf was needed. the sprinting attack paired with light rolls and poison was and glintstone pebbles was a HUGE pain in the ass (not to mention that the blood noble sword was verry strong too)
Nerfing Thunderstorm made invading gankers a lot harder. Sucks
also rain of arrows
This is elden ring, they are specifically doing everything in their power to make the game less fair for their amusement 😊
Good, then I can get them out of my world quicker :)
@@fearlessfailure2848 stay out of fromsoft games go back to easy mode games
@@Jammermt99 Malenia is my favorite boss out of any game I've ever played, and this is my favorite game of all time, so no I won't be leaving this game anytime soon. Just because I don't like the latency ridden buggy trash that is this game's PVP doesn't mean I don't like the game.
I already knew about the changes but I still came to watch the video because how you explain and demonstrate it haha
THEY FINALLY NERFED THE MOONVEIL OMFG
it has already been nerfed a couple of time you know.
As I've stated before, I've heard there will be a talisman in the DLC that buffs "stance" ashes of war. I also stated that this with Moonveil would be oppressive AF as it's damage was already pretty overtuned for it's speed and giving it the ability to do *more* damage with a talisman would be ridiculous. My guess is that the Transient Moonlight nerf will be made up for with the new talisman.
It also looks like many of the cheesier weapons people relied on for PvE have also been nerfed. Blasphemous Blade, Mohg's Sacred Spear even the Envoy's Longhorn all saw their ashes nerfed in logical ways that imply they don't want people to just spam them and win encounters.
you forgot the say cerulean tear(tear gives you infinite fp) time is reduced(15 seconds to 10) and another spell buff spells power reduced. Meaning they nerfed comet azur build again :D
I'm happy for more flail buffs. I really like the weapon type and want to see more people main it.
They also extended the kill-plane in Morbin' Palace, so the best rune farm in the game doesn't exist anymore. I used it on my brother's acc pre-patch, so he could catch up the few levels he was behind (we play together, but I die less) and I tried it today to stock up on consumables and upgrade some weapons in my inventory, so I'm pretty sure I did it correctly and they must've changed it.
Torrent for Elden Beast is a real good change. Using Torrent to catch up with Elden Beast's movement range is magic.
They fixed jumping-of-the-lift glitch too. I tried the spot in the Mogh palace, still can reset death while jumping overtimes, but absolute dead at the bottom of map.
I just finished up my DLC prep playthrough today by killing Elden Beast on Torrent. It was like learning a new boss but once I got it the battle was actually kinda great, kinda wish that the game had more intense horseback bosses that aren't the millionth dragon or Radahn.
I finally created a character for heavy thrusting swords yesterday morning.
Fucking thanks, FromSoft…
Tbh i didn't mind dealing with the last rites glitch. You use Law of Regression and it's just a matter of time before it ran out....... or i used godskin fire to burn them into submission (or until i died, whichever came first)
The most important change to me is title screen change so i don't experience flashbang every time i launch the game.
you made this so fast, props to that
The best change: the title screen for Bandai Namco logo is black now so no more staring into the sun at 2am
the rain of arrows and thunderstorm damage is what is gonna hurt a lot of invaders who use them to bully(read exterminate) any host who keep standing still, personally going from 100 to 0 was not exactly "balaced", but know both ashes aren't worth using at any circustance at all now,easirt to use pots or cannon of haima instead
Torrent in Elden Beast fight is awesome. Finally.
Beautiful song choice in the beginning
The first thing I tried to do when the fight with Elden Beast just started was to summon torrent... my first though it was "he's so far, it must be a torrent fight"
It took a few years but it's finally here
Taker's Flame is actually buffed in PvP because now you will get blendered by it instead of having knockdown invincibility.
I know that soundtrack anywhere. Awesome to see a Silent Hill fan out here.
I’ll be honest, when the notes released and I saw that there’s still no Ultrawide and the worse “decrease” appears 43 times I just rolled my eyes
Silent hill music is so goated that it goes in everything.
welp cross naginata was fun while it lasted. I always ended up going back to my guts sword strength builds anyway.
Mommy Ranni!!! I founf a weapon with a true combo!!! The first weapon you can possibly get in the DLC, the cursedblade's cirque, has a true combo. Stary with heavy and go into its second hit with heavy then you can straight up chain into light attacks.
