I vote it's only a spear because DS2 doesn't have the ability to change a weapon's class after you break it. it's 100% a twinblade once you unlock its real moveset, imo agreed on putting it just below the Rakuyo, though
@@kazj4908 It has some twinblade traits, some spear traits and some halberd traits. It's a VERY strange weapon. Including it on the halberd list is entirely respectable, even if i was a bit disappointed it was not on this one.
i would "probably" put it tied with the Rakuyo or above it, solely because it does get the best of both worlds when it comes to the halberd/twinblades moveset, making it an S tier for PVP.
For me its just the aesthetic of a Twinblade. I don't really care about how optimal certain attacks are and how much damage they do in comparison to other weapon types, as long as they have a unique moveset they are my favorite typ of weapons. Double handed Eleonoras Poleblade just hit the Spot for me. Power stancing a Twinblade is just a no go for me, even if its optimal
Exactly, using them as discount curved swords and spamming jump attacks are so much more boring than their main intended purpose. The basic twinblade's description even tells you that's how you unlock their real strength.
The Rakuyo also gets extra points for being the only weapon on this list to be actually practical if considered in an irl setting. Twinblades as they are depicted in the other games are just a horrible idea. You get the exakt same range as a regular long-sword, but with way more weight, and significantly worse handling. If you want a longer weapon that is good at keeping away multiple enemies, just go with a Zweihänder or Halberd. However, the Rakuyo is build for a very different purpose. It's basically a shortsword, with a dagger attached to the handle, which makes it very dangerous in close-quarters. Hitting enemies with the pommel of your sword is already a historically viable tactic. Turning that pommel into a spike is just a neat idea. Additionally, the transformed mode leans into one of (if not the only) historically common form of dual weilding, sword+dagger.
On the ranking, I would put the twinned knight's much higher because it's the longest while having second highest AR in both str (after gargoyle's) and dex (after peeler). Also the best looking imo. For content ideas, Crescent Moon Axe marathon ? You could even include the hunter's axe in there
They proc status really fast too. I think that would be on the list. I love them. Their move-sets just work with my play style I guess. But I definitely make really good use of them.
The R1s lead me to believe that Twinblades are trash when I played through the game blindly. Having the „big“ hit come out so late made it seem like I‘m going to trade damage with these things more often than not. Now, after becoming aware of all the ways to buff combos and powerstancing I do see the appeal and Eleonora‘s is just really stylish but unless I‘m jump-attacking through the game there are better options.
I did a twinblade run in ds2 Sotfs It was kind of a pain with the base twinblade till the stone dudes in drangleic castle (didn't know i could kill a red phantom in NG+ wharf with ascetics) and i could use it only in Amana. Lovely weapon even if i used it only there cause the red iron is the winblade
@youwy a quick note - Despite the listed scalings, Eleonora's Poleblade actually gets more damage with Arcane investment than Dex. Rivers of Blood is the exact same.
twinblades are my favourite weapons in elden ring, they can be buffed in so many ways and have a lot of playstyle options, cant wait for more twinblades in the dlc
Dark Souls 2 The only game where you can BOTH Infuse and Buff the same weapon. PLUS, it could also be a Catalyst. It's a shame that Elden Ring couldn't even do this much for its "Spellblade" builds.
Second attack of the Red Iron twinblade ALWAYS comes off instantly. With this, you can literally follow up your first light attack with a heavy attack with almost no wind up.
Another thing about the Red Iron Twinblade, is that it has very high base damage, which is great for infusions. You can slap a lightning infusion on it and buff it with Sunlight Blade for what is probably the highest single-target DPS in the entire game.
Sorcerers Twinblade reminded me how disappointing it is to not have actual weapons that can cast spells in Elden Ring. Imagine the Death Poker being able to cast death sorceries? That would be sick af even if the dmg is laughable. Personally I don’t like having to swap weapons to cast spells. Rocking dual Blueflame swords in DS2 in int build was pure fun, you don’t even worry about casts remaining.
@@CovenantLazzy yeah, in general for bosses the ice rapier is your best pick (maybe not the gank squad), but for the normal enemies it's good to deal big stance damage
I must say that anytime i hear about twinblades i can only think about twinblades from red alert 3 and hear "twinblade inspection complete". Also i can bet those twinblade would beat all twinblades in souls series
If I have a nickel every time an Elden Ring weapon ends up last place in this kind of rankings, it will be 3,which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened 3 times
Why did it seem like you hated the Dragonrider Twinblade way more than you hated the Sorcerer's Twinblade, yet it's one spot higher??? I thought you'd say something about it...
Gargoyle Twinblade too high. The extra AR isn't worth the shit range. Godskin Peeler's unique poking attacks and Eleanora's cracked ash of war are easily better. Powerstanced twinblades are also overrated imo. The dps potential is undeniable, but the hitboxes are wack and the output is inconsistent af
powers tance twinblades are trash imo two handing a twinblade is far better, and gargoyle twinblades are not that good too godskin and eleonora are so much better
Santier’s Spear is a Halberd. I’ll talk about it on the Halberd ranking but if it was on this list it would be 3 or 4.
I vote it's only a spear because DS2 doesn't have the ability to change a weapon's class after you break it. it's 100% a twinblade once you unlock its real moveset, imo

since its durability become immortal, it should probably be 2 or 3
Still, the fact that you included the Rakuyo and not this one weapons is kinda 😭😭😭

Getting closer to the ranking of all soulsborne weapons
Ya crazy? This would absolutely destroy the man
Time to start commenting this on every video of his. And of rusty
@@AS-bc8fg yeah you are right, this would destroy them
Spam so much that they have to do it
Rakuyo is easily my favourite BB weapon and top 3 of all Soulsborne games. The coolest spin-to-win killing machine.
Superb damage on it and cool moveset so I agree 👍
Agreed! What are our other 2 picks?
@@shevankaseneviratne1724 my favourite Soulsborne weapon by far is Friede's Great Scythe and second favourite might be Farron Greatsword.
Twinblades are my favourite weapons in Elden Ring because the moveset is so satisfying to watch!

Rule of Cool weapon class.
Red Iron Winblade at #1 is a no brainer =)
Insane that the OG broken Santier's spear used to be even better too lol
The helicopter is my favourite souls weapon because of the helicopter move, can't believe it got no.1!
Thanks for putting the Red Iron Twinblades first, my favorite weapon across all souls... it's so sweet
Splendid video. I enjoy this weapon class and I am glad you made a video on it 👍

Yeah twinned knight swords got done dirty for sure
They are having a huge impact on PVP right now. Steelovsky has been cleaning up with a rot greases twin blade.
They proc status really fast too. I think that would be on the list. I love them. Their move-sets just work with my play style I guess. But I definitely make really good use of them.
At 13:35 cutting from waterfowl's setup with full hp to waterfowl's end frames at 40% hp is beautiful
Halberds or spears next. Another banger from pookie bear

Incredible ranking, i strongly agree with you
It’s hilarious to learn that the red iron twin blade was so op, it was the only two blade I’ve ever used lmao
Out of curiosity:
Where would you put Santier's Spear from DS2 on the list? (The broken version gains multiple twinblade moves)
He says in his pinned comment it'd be about 3 or 4 on this list
twinblades are my favourite weapons in elden ring, they can be buffed in so many ways and have a lot of playstyle options, cant wait for more twinblades in the dlc

Dark Souls 2

1:12 double slash on twinblades is actually noticeably slower than on smaller swords

The build I’m doing now ima go crazy with elenoria pole blade with more than just three things
My favorite soulsborne weapon got number 1! Lets go!
I already knew Red Iron twinblade would be number 1. It's the only weapon more broken than the rapier.
than rapier, yes. But not when compared to the ice rapier
@Ralfatus Point. Ice Rapier can down many of the bosses before they even get to move if you apply the right buffs.
@@Ralfatus It has way less stamina consumption too.
@@CovenantLazzy yeah, in general for bosses the ice rapier is your best pick (maybe not the gank squad), but for the normal enemies it's good to deal big stance damage
ladle marathon please. i'd like to know which LADLE is the best in the franchise.
What's up with the Twinblades lately? First you, then ginomachino!
Did I miss something?
please ultra greatswords next
Don't let lil bro cook again 💀
whips next
I must say that anytime i hear about twinblades i can only think about twinblades from red alert 3 and hear "twinblade inspection complete".
Also i can bet those twinblade would beat all twinblades in souls series
Curved swords or hammers next ???
Godskin peeler under poleblade??? Running R2 with the peeler is the best way to apply statuses in the game
When you mock people in the comments, the voice you use is hilarious
If only the euphoria was on this list it would be number 1
Should have a counted saints spear after broken
do the next vedio about great hammer
If I have a nickel every time an Elden Ring weapon ends up last place in this kind of rankings, it will be 3,which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened 3 times
I'm going to complain every time I see youwy using beast blood pellets on high insight
Before watching, I think the Rakuyo from bloodborne is the best.
Oof, got it wrong.
Have you tried deviled eggs before
Why did it seem like you hated the Dragonrider Twinblade way more than you hated the Sorcerer's Twinblade, yet it's one spot higher??? I thought you'd say something about it...
Boss arenas ranked
Live tonight?
What about that 1 weapon in ds2 that has a spear moveset or something but id you destroy the stone it has it gets the twinblade moveset
Gargoyle Twinblade too high. The extra AR isn't worth the shit range. Godskin Peeler's unique poking attacks and Eleanora's cracked ash of war are easily better.
Powerstanced twinblades are also overrated imo. The dps potential is undeniable, but the hitboxes are wack and the output is inconsistent af
I though Santier spear is also twinblade when broken. I played ds2 only once and with rapier so IDK exactly
it's a spear with twinblade moveset
@@ultraphoenix95 I think could be included then
