@Captain_Morgan Fair point but in some of the showcase videos he does encounter competent players. You can tell he isn't as relaxed and focuses a bit more. Just like DS3, generally you can figure out your opponents skill level within the first minute or so based on how they move and or if they play reactively/non-reactively.
That Owl cosplay was amazing! He wasn't running Raptors of the mists because he had Lions claw to imitate that flip slash owl likes to do after the double shuriken.
To that guy who keeps asking for the black blade. Well at least you've got some part of your wish accepted. Next time, specify which black blade you desire to be profiled next showcase
@Charles Hastings not really, and I went back and discovered that the info was of 1.04 so it probably doesn't anymore. But I do know 100% that it stacks with Blade of Death (Black Knife) due to increasing it's damage by about 10%
I would love to see you do a showcase on either the Carian Knight's Sword or the Lazuli Glintstone Sword. They have a very unique R2 where they can block an attack and then immediately follow up with a heavy, kinda like a guard counter but faster. They both have the same moveset, so it just comes down to which Ash of War you prefer between Carian Grandeur and Glintstone Pebble.
For my faith/ strength lads out there. U can basically true combo someone easy at 125 by catching them with the crucible charge incantation into the malekiths ash. Ccs them with the charge, hits with the slash while they are getting up and the aoe if they linger or try to roll away. Was very successful with this combo
Really making Black Blade look good. Its split str-faith scaling always made it feel like it's meant to be a super high level weapon, but Chase is rockin' it well at 125.
One of my favorite invasion weapons when spec'd right and buffed. Can one shot people at 1450 health if you hit with the whole thing. High poise and fake the trade to hit with the opening swing then it can combo the rest of the Ash.
To help answer the question, the Ash of War is faith, which makes it powerful against Deathbirds if you aren't getting obliterated for a long animation, but the damage in general is quite good and the spherical reach makes it the most ideal Bell-Bearing Hunter cheese weapon by sitting on a rooftop on top of him while spamming the ash of war.
I was surprised by how effective the AoW is for roll catching vs. how weak the AoE is on the final part. Nice work as always.. any tool can produce amazing results in the hands of a master craftsman
you are the LSV of Elden Ring. chill delivery, gregarious demeanor, thorough explanations, and valuable to casuals and experts alike. all while playing at max skill level
Destined Death has HUGE hyperarmor. The best way to use it in PvP is honestly by being willing to trade damage, when you see them winding up to hit you and just tank through it; certainly doable between the huge health bar and cooked prawn.
This. I see way too many players try and use most ashes without trading and they’re just not designed that way. A lot of ashes get insane hyper armor which is a pretty clear indication trading is the most effective way to land them
Fun fact: The AoW on Maliketh's Black Blade, the Black Knife, and Blade of Calling, as well as the Black Blade incantation are all Holy damage. So upping Faith would give those AoW and the Incantation more "OOMF". Another Fun Fact: Destined Death can be stacked twice if you use two different methods (i.e. MBB+BK, BK+BB, MBB+BB). Applicable during Co-Op, too! Awesome showcase, Mr. Bro!
@@awgy9335 I can't say anything about damage, but D.D. weapons have the same attack id and the D.D. incantation doesn't, so the death effect can be stacked with the incantation variant, but not both weapons. I'd open a fight with the incantation and then try to land a hit with the weapon art.
@Charles Hastings flame grant me strength only buffs black flame, not DD flames. The purpose for black flame and DD being different things is that one actually deals fire damage, while the other deals what can best be explained as "unholy damage," similar to weapons with an occult bonus in DS1. Even though maliketh's black blade and destined death flames APPEAR as fire, they actually deal a unique type of holy damage that does extra damage to enemies like the Elden Beast TL:DR "flame, grant me strength" doesn't buff Maliketh's Black Blade, because that weapons actually does a unique type of holy damage on all attacks, despite being fiery
Can't wait to see what they have in mind for DLC weapons lol, also I have to see if you've done the spinning wheel yet ? That thing is hilarious. I have a bloodborne build going
@@christophersebastiao7501 1 all the other dark souls had dlc and 2 this is the best selling right? so one would assume they would make the most money from this one
They definitely have to bring at least one more madness type weapon, we have so few options, and ill be glad if they bring more gravity spells too, we also have only few usefull. Or just imagine "Destined death" incantations?
Hahaha dude that first invasion with Bloody :3 was me lol. Greatsword pokes are my weakness. I figured that was you when I recognized the weird armor combination
That Owl cosplay was sick, he should’ve added in poison mist or the darkness spell for the smoke bombs as well as the anti-healing pots. Just to round out Owl’s moveset. Also I would probably have had multiple Dismounters with lion’s claw, piercing fang, and flame strike. The spark perfume is great but he also had that follow up to the sparklers which is essentially the exact same animation as flame strike.
i really like MBB. i appreciate your weapon showcases, and moreover, i appreciate your attitude approaching this game. you present a positive outlook, which is welcome.
He proves all of these other Elden Ring UA-cam complainers wrong. If you just practice and pay attention to weapons and effects, you can use any weapon and have a good time😁
You should really do the Dragon King's Cragblade, it's alot of fun to use. Also that moment in the second invasion when the birds swooped in for the kill was priceless!
Just completed a +4 using this weapon & the black knife (wee ranged option & stacks well), & whilst I did struggle end game a tad: radagon/elden beast particularly), I did it. Bit too easy to go for easy options end game with other weapon availability on a strength/faith build), but first time I did a complete run with two weapons: did buff with talisman but no casting)! Definitely going strength/faith for the dlc (can’t all be faith resistant surely 🤔)! First one of your vids I’ve watched with the Giant’s plateau used BTW.
Might want to check if your mic cable is loose or if the mic itself is going bad. There's a bit of feedback when you speak every so often 12:14 Otherwise, great video as always! That AoW is surprisingly effective at roll catching
that actually only happens specifically in that area outside of castle sol. Idk how that is possible but if you watch prior videos youll notice it only happen there as well.
I wish that malikeths black blade and the black knife would apply the destined death debuff with normal attacks after using the ash of war (similar to the dragon halberd but with the duration of black flame blade) or with their charged heavy attacks.
have you seen crightt’s hammer+greatshield build? i think it would be a fun way to use something as simple as the hammer, and its been a while since youve used an offhand shield
How many larval tears has chase gone through to make these videos? Mans dedication to the weapon showcases is astonishing to me. I’ve got over 900 duels split between two characters and I’m struggling constantly with larval tears. I can only imagine how chase must feel.
My favorite weapon! Love this thing, and the ash of war does insane damage with mad armor, you can tank (almost?) anything with it and still crush your opponent
12:17 That's gotta be the worst place to get invaded. It's not that hard to get through the area if you take your time, but with an invader pressuring you it gets very chaotic. If there's tough PvE ahead, you can usually backtrack in the level a bit to have an easier fight with the invader, but not that area. Going back up the ladder is a death sentence if they have throwing knives and if you are on the bird bridge, there are lots of small elevations you get blocked on if you need to back away from the birds. I love helping hosts get through Faram Azula overall, but if we get invaded there, the host almost always dies.
can you try the invisible build, this guy used assassins gambit in the duel and something else that made it impossible for me to lock on, and he destroyed me because of it, very entertaining battle, even though it wasn’t able to hit him once
If you use this weapon again, you should try the second Heavy attack after the first because you just keep the blade in front of you and lift it up. You can wait to do the second heavy as well letting people aggress you before punishing or making them second guess.
Best way to use the ash of war is on aggressive opponents. If you crouch poke and you know they'll roll in. The weapon art will roll catch and they will be too close to dodge the aoe unless they BHS or are just laggy
Props to the first guy you fought for using one of his talisman slots so we could appreciate his cosplay better ❤️

There's so many Ashes of War that you could use for Owl. Piercing Fang is another part of his moveset.
