Unknown fact about swarm of flies: it can stun Malenia every tick of damage, so it’s pretty much useless against everything except the hardest boss in the game where it shreds her health bar and leaves her vulnerable to attacks.
Work great in pvp, you force the opponent to roll or he takes good blood buildup, and with the delay of the flies you can time an other attack to roll catch
The main thing i like about swarm of flies is that if you immedietly cast it right after a critical attack they will almost always face tank the full spell allowing you to immedietly proc bleed after the critical attack
One of the things about Bloodflame blade you forgot to mention is that the bleed buildup continues on an enemy while the fire is ticking. This is one of the most important aspects of the enchantment. If you want to see it in action, take a Nagakiba with Repeating Thrust and Keen affinity (I had 20 points in Arcane for this). Put bloodflame blade on it. Go the the Subterannean depths and use the Ash of War on one of the Omen dudes. If every hit lands, he won't bleed immediately but a second or 2 later he will proc blood loss because the bleed continued to build while the fire was damaging him. This is exceptionally handy as bleed begins to slowly tick down on bosses if you don't keep hitting them with a bleed weapon. That 2 seconds can be the time you need to dodge an attack and counter.
And at 00:23 seconds in, this list gets immense credibility by a) establishing this list is specifically applying PvE not accounting for PvP and b) showing what stats were used for the data on this list. And that, fellow Tarnished, is how you make a solid tierlist and gather good data. Youwy, you're the goat, my man. A certified LORD.

@@TheScott-mandragon casting is so much fun was one of the first builds I did when game first came out thinking of basically doing same build your doing for dlc prep more worried right before dlc comes out they nerf some of the strong stuff just to screw people over
In terms of Black Flame Blade, I was just doing a bit of testing in the Underground Roadside with a +25 Nagakiba against the Omens. I tested out a 80 Dex Keen build with BFB, 80 Arc Occult build and 60/45 Dex/Arc Blood build. Consistently the 80 Arc Occult build out damaged the other 2. Single hits between the Dex and Arc builds were fairly close with the Dex build doing slightly more damage but with the quicker Blood Loss buildup from the Arc build the Omens would die a lot quicker and in fewer hits. Especially when paired with Spinning Slash, the Arc build out performed the Dex/BFB build.
I'm happy that the youtube algorithm brought me to this video even if I don't speak English, great video, I can't even imagine the work involved. greetings from Argentina
i dont like the argument of the lesser dragon breaths>named ones bc fp cost: 17% is an absolutely massive damage increase for incantations that do so much damage. With such slow attacks you need them to hit as hard as possible It is more than worth 25% more FP
I personally prefer black flame fireball over Lightning spear as it's just so efficient at dealing damage, especially lategame. It's also worth noting that the godslayer's seal has the best scaling in the game until you get like 60+ faith
i’m glad the Blood incantations are extremely good now. I remembered wanted to make a faith bleed build when the game just came out, I found out about them all over the days with videos and so on. Sadly they were all kinda ehh except for the weapon buff and swarm of files.
i used it against malinia bro during my incantations only run ...slow and tedious process but she went down and this was the only spell capable of hitting her.
Maybe it's just me but I really like black flame ritual. The effect may seem lacking against single enemy due to the FP cost but it helps me get out of many multi enemy situations because they will almost always run into it. It has fast animation, deals decent percentage damage and stuns enemies for some good seconds, meanwhile I can either heal, charge up something else, or just let the spell finish the job for me.
Its like michael zaki had a slight feeling of guilt over all the poison swamp areas so he started to give more options to heal. But in the middle of that process he came to his senses and instead decided to troll us with so many useless poison heal spells
@@iHaveTheDocuments Sax Slave Gael is also contributing to the semi-debunking with this video on weapons. (unconventional showcase) So one more that's not wrong at least.

Like this isn’t a competition or a dunk on Rusty for his list. Youwy just wanted to make the list, and even if it was in spite or because of Rusty’s list, at least it’s not in malice. Seriously we’re all on the same community and do these videos for different reasons. Some of us like to entertain our audiences with numbers, some of us with hot takes to actually bait people to comment, which obviously works. That aside though still very good video Youwy, I wasn’t sure if I would agree with these but this is actually pretty accurate to how I view the Incants
9:00 the reason why dragon bolt blessing makes you take more lightning damage is similar to the reason iron jar aromatics do the same thing. Everything in the game that can increase hardness stat debuffs your lightning resist.
Great video mate. Just starting a faith build and am glad to see it won't be hopeless, I'm already enjoying lightning spear and bloodflame blade but still have a lot more incantations to amass by the looks of it.
ive found a single use for law of causality and its in my ranged builds whenever i am going into an area where i know there are ambush dogs/rats/imps etc, often they manage to surround and stun lock you to death (i am a pretty newish player) so this delayed shockwave helps get them off and gives me space to figure out a way to fight them
Black flame ritual invaluable if you're a caster and need a second of breathing space. It gives omens, haligtree knights and other super aggressive npcs a moment of pause
i just beat malenia for my first time last night after about 50 tries, so seeing her tossed in the air by aspect of the crucible horns was immensely satisfying for me lol
I don't think Elden Stars was truly designed to be a damaging move in the traditional sense. The health damage it does is minimal but the poise damage it can do is really great. Been using it with my current build which focuses on poise damage and if I can get it off at the start of a boss fight, mix it with some of the other poise-damaging moves I have and the bosses are usually on their knees pretty quickly and ready for a riposte.
I started watching your vids recently and holy shit man, From Software should consider hiring you as a consultant, you'd help them make Elden Ring even better. Honestly, you have unreal knowledge about this beautiful game.
This guy saved me from bad ER gameplay. I saw a ranking video by a guy name Rusty and all he does is yap. And it's not like his yapping is even useful. That guy is a waste of time. People who wants to gain valuable information should stay away from that guy. Every single ranking on the internet is a better and more valuable ranking than that guy
Well, at 20 mind (can't remember if it's at 20 or 20+5 with Godrick's rune) you get 2 casts out of every major (named) dragon incantation, including Borealis' and Ekzykes'. That is because you can get a full second cast with just a sliver of FP left from the first cast. I haven't noticed much advantage in using the lesser versions of the incantations, since my FP gets emptied anyway. You can't use them on horse, but you can jump before using them, which sometimes is cool.
I WISH... 'Dragon Claw' was cheaper but did less damage. I want a 'Catch Flame' for pure dragon incants. Even with the FP cost buff its still expensive. While it hits like a truck there isn't enough of a difference between it and Dragon Maw for it to have the specs it has.
The quality of this video man !!! Insta sub !!!! 🎉 Thx you so much, I'm doing magic but its getting pretty boring pretty fast and wanted to inspect if faith build are good and fun and damn your video answers all my questions and more !! Way more ! So much dedication to details. Love it !!!!❤
Honestly I just can't be arsed to reapply buffs every 30 seconds I wish they just lasted until you died or had slow fp drain to last "infinite" amount of time, I like ashes of war that do dmg and apply element to weapon because you are still in combat with them, idk just feels goofy to always reapply buffs in boss fight, kills the flow of it.
Surprised about Death Lightning. I found it pretty good and it carried me against Godfrey in a pure Lightning Damage run. It casts faster than ADLS, has a 360° radius so you don't have to worry about lackluster tracking like with Frozen Lightning and the damage massively outperforms Lightning Spear.
Fun video. Idk about Rejection, Shadow Bait, Whirl O Flame being C tier. Also upgrade your mind lvl, like you have no reason too have that little mana 😆You do not mention the stamina usage that much which can be very punishing
The reason people reset frost with fire is because it also resets the number of hits required to frost. it resets the counter to as if the enemy has never been frozen.
flame swing is one of the strongest faith spells , people should know this is just his preference. i have used this spell since the start and im on ng+3
The only proper use case for vykes dragonbolt isnt riding med-heavy rolls, but light-med rolls, that way the buff feels like it does more than "letting you play normally with a bit of extra armor on for a bit", i mean it only will add some distance to your roll, but at least that's an advantage and not just normal gameplay (i say normal because most players will go for that med roll) And imo the way to reset frost is near the end of the debuff, with a nuke
is a solid tier list the only thing I don't agree with is swarm of flies in D yes after the nerf it does 0 damage but it chases enemies over a long distance and in combination with a weapon or other enchantment it causes bleeding very easily and because i chases enemies you can just move away and cast it a few times and it will have safe damage, it is not used as the main source of damage but on the other hand it complements an arcane build very well
I kinda have the impression that the low damage incantations at the bottom do low damage because it is spread out over many individual hits and defenses get applied to each one of them. So instead of 300 reduced by flat 20 you have 30 reduced by flat 20, i.e. 10, multiplied by 10. Something like that. And in higher NG+ the defenses are really cranked up.
I love how everything in the game is mid unless boosted. No matter what level you’re never overpowered. I’m level 320 and still get killed if I’m not careful.
Yeah well that tends to happen when your levels have soft caps and also NG+ scaling is pretty crazy. I'm level 501 and literally the only difference between that and like a level 200 character is I have more fp, stamina, and I have more builds open to me. Only really benefits me when I want to try something new because I don't have to respec.
There are 2 other weapons besides Sword of Night and Flame that scale off of Int/Fth Fire/Holy infused Clayman's Harpoon Magic infused Erdsteel Dagger And kind of in a roundabout sense, Tree spear (Really op when buffed with Scholar's Armament with Azul's Staff)
Started ER on Christmas. Accidentally found out how OP Dragonmaw was on my 1st playthrough. Finished Foreskin Duo first try. I'm still trembling from it. This is unfair. Turned my dex/faith build into faith/arcane.
My only problem with Catch Flame is how close I have to be to the enemy. The entire point of being a caster is to fuck shit up before it can even get near me.
I still carry a a sword as a backup, the Miséricorde for either Golden Vow or Assassin's Gambit and a bow to give in to that sneak archer urge whenever I have a good vantage point. @@elrandohorse
Idk I don’t think that’s the entire point. That’s certainly one of the ways you can play a caster sure, but melee and mid range casting is my personal favourite and as such I don’t really use any of the projectiles other than lightning spear to kill things in precarious areas.
In his 'best weapon of each letter of the alphabet' video (or whatever it was called), the pike narrowly lost to the pickaxe, which got A tier. So I'd assume pike is also A tier, or high B at the very least.
I’m pretty sure they recently buffed the swarm of flies, I’ve been using it with my bleed build and I cannot stress this enough, nothing procks bleed faster than that little spell there, 2 casts with 80 arc and the base faith and everything gets bleed. Obviously some weapons and ash of wars are better but you cannot go wrong with this spell, I tend to cast it twice before anyfight and 9/10 times my enemy or boss gets their first bleed proc as I begin my normal attack combos, and for any enemy who doesn’t get their bleed counter will ideally they it after the first two hits after casting the spell. As a spell to use by itself it is bad but in tandem with anything bleed it’s actually hella good.
After watching the bushy video, the unendurable frenzy placement is criminal, you can get a massive 40% dmg buff if you pair it with the jellyfish shield and its respective seal, you use the hidden cerulean tear and a build just upgrading poise and focus and you can legit one shot almost any boss
Nah, Assassin's Approach is good, you clearly haven't used it. With this you can safely jump around, drop down, climb terrain, get to enemies on highground, which crouch walking can not do. Even the smallest pebble makes your character stop crouch walking and suddenly the enemies turn around...
Some enemies just have expert awareness and can hear you sneaking up on them even when your crouchwalking, I think the Crucible Knight is a good example. But with assassins approach you can sneak up on anyone.
AN interesting thing about Pllacidusax's Ruin is how in interacts with terrain height differences. If your target is on a slight elevation from you it hits much more consistently. a handful of well timed fully charged casts can kill Malenia really fast. But the timing and spacing are really tricky.
Very well structured and consistent, gives me lots of inspiration to go and test some of these I may have underestimated... btw a tip for those like me that are not native english speakers; if you struggle to keep up with what youwy says, you might try slowing the video down to 0.75 at settings in bottom right corner of video. Makes him sound less cartoonish too, no offence :)
I suck at this game but I used Giantsflame take thee to bully Melania and defeat all the Night’s Cavalry. It’s also my go to when i panic. I think it should be a little higher.
I'd agree, maybe bump it just above Discus of Light. I get why it's not as good as Flame Fall Upon Them in most boss situations, but that knock back cc gives it some amazing utility in running through areas. Pest Threads as well deserves a little more credit for being your best physical damage incantation option that doesn't require arcane investment aside from Crucible Horns, which itself isn't always ideal since it can be risky to throw out. Plus, while availability wasn't brought up too much in this video, it is worth noting that it's your big enemy melter for most of the game since you only get access to Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike in the last required legacy dungeon right before the end game starts.
Placidusax ruin is just a “what could have been spell”. Imagine if the head just turned faster, there was hyper armour, then it would be pretty decent. Of course if could be even cooler if it there was 2 heads incase

I WISH... 'Dragon Claw' was cheaper but did less damage. I want a 'Catch Flame' for pure dragon incants. Even with the FP cost buff its still expensive. While it hits like a truck there isn't enough of a difference between it and Dragon Maw for it to have the specs it has.
Thanks for adding boss spoilers in the video. Its good to show respect. But also where do you get that armor set you use in the video
Mods
Good news! It's now avaliable in the DLC as the leather set. Before then, it was cut content
Surge o flame is basically 1 fp for every flame partical it shoots.
Every time I watch one of your vids I double check to make sure my playback speed is still set on 1x
awesome vid as per usual!
This ranking video is awesome. Doing sorcery next would be pretty nice
The quality of this video man !!!
Insta sub !!!! 🎉
Thx you so much, I'm doing magic but its getting pretty boring pretty fast and wanted to inspect if faith build are good and fun and damn your video answers all my questions and more !! Way more !
So much dedication to details.
Love it !!!!❤
Honestly I just can't be arsed to reapply buffs every 30 seconds I wish they just lasted until you died or had slow fp drain to last "infinite" amount of time, I like ashes of war that do dmg and apply element to weapon because you are still in combat with them, idk just feels goofy to always reapply buffs in boss fight, kills the flow of it.
When he said "look how much damage it does to radagon, it just fucks him up" and saw the damage i started laughing so histericaly
same
Surprised about Death Lightning. I found it pretty good and it carried me against Godfrey in a pure Lightning Damage run. It casts faster than ADLS, has a 360° radius so you don't have to worry about lackluster tracking like with Frozen Lightning and the damage massively outperforms Lightning Spear.
Fun video. Idk about Rejection, Shadow Bait, Whirl O Flame being C tier. Also upgrade your mind lvl, like you have no reason too have that little mana 😆You do not mention the stamina usage that much which can be very punishing
Top 10 Elden ring sightseeing spots😩
Rusty will react to this on stream and criticize it
The reason people reset frost with fire is because it also resets the number of hits required to frost. it resets the counter to as if the enemy has never been frozen.
flame swing is one of the strongest faith spells , people should know this is just his preference. i have used this spell since the start and im on ng+3
The only proper use case for vykes dragonbolt isnt riding med-heavy rolls, but light-med rolls, that way the buff feels like it does more than "letting you play normally with a bit of extra armor on for a bit", i mean it only will add some distance to your roll, but at least that's an advantage and not just normal gameplay (i say normal because most players will go for that med roll)
And imo the way to reset frost is near the end of the debuff, with a nuke
is a solid tier list the only thing I don't agree with is swarm of flies in D yes after the nerf it does 0 damage but it chases enemies over a long distance and in combination with a weapon or other enchantment it causes bleeding very easily and because i chases enemies you can just move away and cast it a few times and it will have safe damage, it is not used as the main source of damage but on the other hand it complements an arcane build very well
I kinda have the impression that the low damage incantations at the bottom do low damage because it is spread out over many individual hits and defenses get applied to each one of them.
So instead of 300 reduced by flat 20 you have 30 reduced by flat 20, i.e. 10, multiplied by 10. Something like that.
And in higher NG+ the defenses are really cranked up.
Thanks for the awesome video 👍🏽
I love how everything in the game is mid unless boosted. No matter what level you’re never overpowered. I’m level 320 and still get killed if I’m not careful.
Yeah well that tends to happen when your levels have soft caps and also NG+ scaling is pretty crazy. I'm level 501 and literally the only difference between that and like a level 200 character is I have more fp, stamina, and I have more builds open to me. Only really benefits me when I want to try something new because I don't have to respec.
Thank you for this video bro
There are 2 other weapons besides Sword of Night and Flame that scale off of Int/Fth
Fire/Holy infused Clayman's Harpoon
Magic infused Erdsteel Dagger
And kind of in a roundabout sense, Tree spear (Really op when buffed with Scholar's Armament with Azul's Staff)
Started ER on Christmas. Accidentally found out how OP Dragonmaw was on my 1st playthrough. Finished Foreskin Duo first try. I'm still trembling from it. This is unfair. Turned my dex/faith build into faith/arcane.
Best explanation so far thank you Youwy
I understand why insescapable frenzy is so low on the list, but it's so goddamn fun to bully Gideon and the Mimic Tears with it.
My only problem with Catch Flame is how close I have to be to the enemy. The entire point of being a caster is to fuck shit up before it can even get near me.
Depends on how you build with it. You could have high defense and poise and use close ranged spells.
No the entire point of being a caster is to have access to a wide range of tools and damage types without having to carry a whole bunch of weapons.
I still carry a a sword as a backup, the Miséricorde for either Golden Vow or Assassin's Gambit and a bow to give in to that sneak archer urge whenever I have a good vantage point. @@elrandohorse
Idk I don’t think that’s the entire point. That’s certainly one of the ways you can play a caster sure, but melee and mid range casting is my personal favourite and as such I don’t really use any of the projectiles other than lightning spear to kill things in precarious areas.
Weapons list in the future?
What tier could the Pike be, how valuable is having the longest reach
In his 'best weapon of each letter of the alphabet' video (or whatever it was called), the pike narrowly lost to the pickaxe, which got A tier. So I'd assume pike is also A tier, or high B at the very least.
Great video! Thank you!
I’m pretty sure they recently buffed the swarm of flies, I’ve been using it with my bleed build and I cannot stress this enough, nothing procks bleed faster than that little spell there, 2 casts with 80 arc and the base faith and everything gets bleed. Obviously some weapons and ash of wars are better but you cannot go wrong with this spell, I tend to cast it twice before anyfight and 9/10 times my enemy or boss gets their first bleed proc as I begin my normal attack combos, and for any enemy who doesn’t get their bleed counter will ideally they it after the first two hits after casting the spell. As a spell to use by itself it is bad but in tandem with anything bleed it’s actually hella good.
flame surge, the surge oh flame of ds3, was top 3 pvp spells. that is likely this one is nerfed to be slower
After watching the bushy video, the unendurable frenzy placement is criminal, you can get a massive 40% dmg buff if you pair it with the jellyfish shield and its respective seal, you use the hidden cerulean tear and a build just upgrading poise and focus and you can legit one shot almost any boss
Did you see the note that was on screen…?
1:04:50 now thats a lot of damage
Thanks for the amazing upload!
He's like those guys on Reddit that like to complain about everything possible 🗣️🔥
Nah, Assassin's Approach is good, you clearly haven't used it. With this you can safely jump around, drop down, climb terrain, get to enemies on highground, which crouch walking can not do. Even the smallest pebble makes your character stop crouch walking and suddenly the enemies turn around...
Some enemies just have expert awareness and can hear you sneaking up on them even when your crouchwalking, I think the Crucible Knight is a good example. But with assassins approach you can sneak up on anyone.
Ok ok listen. IN DEFENSE OF LITANTY. it was specifically created to give the undead a proper peaceful death (as peaceful as it can be)
AN interesting thing about Pllacidusax's Ruin is how in interacts with terrain height differences.
If your target is on a slight elevation from you it hits much more consistently. a handful of well timed fully charged casts can kill Malenia really fast. But the timing and spacing are really tricky.
And the way it embarrasses tree spirits, should definitely be b tier atleast
25:11 Post DLC these actually work pretty damn well with Dry Leaf Seal.
very good video - keep it up 👍👍
Fit goes hard (feel free to screenshot)
26:46 you pair it up with Giantsflame take thee in 1-2 punch
Very well structured and consistent, gives me lots of inspiration to go and test some of these I may have underestimated... btw a tip for those like me that are not native english speakers; if you struggle to keep up with what youwy says, you might try slowing the video down to 0.75 at settings in bottom right corner of video. Makes him sound less cartoonish too, no offence :)
Amazing video! this helped a lot thanks.
I suck at this game but I used Giantsflame take thee to bully Melania and defeat all the Night’s Cavalry. It’s also my go to when i panic. I think it should be a little higher.
I'd agree, maybe bump it just above Discus of Light. I get why it's not as good as Flame Fall Upon Them in most boss situations, but that knock back cc gives it some amazing utility in running through areas. Pest Threads as well deserves a little more credit for being your best physical damage incantation option that doesn't require arcane investment aside from Crucible Horns, which itself isn't always ideal since it can be risky to throw out. Plus, while availability wasn't brought up too much in this video, it is worth noting that it's your big enemy melter for most of the game since you only get access to Ancient Dragons' Lightning Strike in the last required legacy dungeon right before the end game starts.
Burn o flame just anihilates malenia way better than giantsflame. just make her back up into a corner and enjoy the free runes.
Elden stars works as an Extrem Light Pollution when duel begins, and it always hits hard for once at least😂 . Dont judge it
Placidusax ruin is just a “what could have been spell”. Imagine if the head just turned faster, there was hyper armour, then it would be pretty decent.
Of course if could be even cooler if it there was 2 heads incase
