So happy you made that. I fucking love this wpn. Scott seriously, so many people get hit by the weapon art.... you don't know how actually effective it is.
Well, not that surprising in my opinion considering that Nameless King's buff is slightly delayed while the actual weapon's buff is not. I fell for that a few times because I always think "Okay, he's using the buff so after he raises his spear I'll have to wai- *gets hit*".
You can easily parry charge-attacks on reaction even if you don't have your parry tool out. there is more than enough time to take it out and still get the timing, at least with parry-shields and caestus. even if there is some lag, you still get a partial parry most of the time. these attacks are by far the easiest parrys in the game, unless they are aimed like some players do with the gundyrs charge.
As much as I enjoy seeing you absolutely wreck people Scott, it's nice to see you match-up against randomly skilled duelists and occasionally lose. Anyways, thanks again for your hard work and keep on uploading :)!
So Scott, what is the best defense for that side step crap anyway? If your not using a fast weapon I mean... With my Pyro build I hit them every time with fire whip... But with a halbred or spear I can't seem to figure out a counter....
The four-pronged plow has become my favorite weapon for some reason. Its damage is "meh" at best, but I'm pretty sure it's almost as long as the Lothric long spear. I like to have a Llewellyn shield and Morion blade in my off-hand, though I'm currently experimenting with a War Pick for the extra counter damage. Good times.
Doesn't the lothric spear do more poise damage? I believe that's in the weapon's description. So maybe him interrupting you had more to do with his weapon than yours. Or maybe it was both. I hadn't heard about swordspear having weird hyper armor before this video.
Thank you for doing this weapon Scott. I had no clue it had the halberd moveset/hyper armor when two handing. I tried it out and it's easily one of my favorite weapons already!
its cathartic to see a good player have trouble with lag like i do, when i play all night theres a shift at some point where everyone in my area goes to sleep and i get lag from then on, the other day i went for a running r1 missed and then 5 seconds later the hit registered on the guys shield and he turtle poked me from across the arena, i just gave up
The dude that beat you with the Lothric knight spear gives increased poise, so I'm also wondering if it has hyper armor breaking properties, which is why you didn't get hyper armor when you hit him.
I don't understand not aiming the battle art at people. If you don't aim it, you'll never hit anybody, but if you do aim it, then you MAY hit someone. So why not give it a shot?
scott can you do the wooden great hammer pls (im gonna write this under every video of yours from now until you use it just like the smoughs garbage hammer)
if you ever run out of weapons like ever, and somehow forgot about the Executioner's Greatsword or Vordt's Hammer, try them, because you still need to suffer from greatweapons after getting kills with smough's
This weapon also helps for faith builds that want a slightly cheaper way to attack. Sunlight Spear is expensive, and great lightning spear does meh damage. Falling Bolt is the best of both worlds, I wish it were a spell on its own.
Alright Scott how do you get your health regen so high. I know you have a blessed parry spammer and you swap to the SPR but I watch your health and it regens so quick, but when I do that, it regens so fucking slow
Interesting video Scott, although I think there's really no reason at all to not lock on to them while using the weapon art. A surprising number of people do get hit by it. And even if you assume it only has a 1% chance to hit, if you literally aim it away from them it has a 0% chance to hit, so I don't see what you gain by doing that.
hey man, i feel like you underestimate the L2 on the swordspear, ignoring an entire range of strategy which truly makes this weapon stand out. sure, it comes out slow, and most people know how to dodge it, but i've found that it's most useful for creating predictable behavior. firstly, it's a knowledge check. if someone doesn't roll, then you know they don't understand this weapon. probably an easy win. if they do roll, then at least you can adjust your game before you even start fighting, giving you a slight mental advantage (resolve). secondly, it forces your opponent to move. as Miyamoto Musashi (arguably the greatest duelist of all time) teaches, if you can control your opponent you can destroy your opponent. it's range is medium (a little shorter than max lock-on range), so it's a pretty useful tool to get people to move in range of your pokes, or getting them out of a desirable defensive position (against a wall or in a choke point). the damage the L2 deals when it connects should be considered a bonus to it's strategic value, just like the fact that it buffs your weapon after you use it. also, if you're an invader/ganker it's extremely useful against distracted opponents (i've killed more people with the L2 than not in either of those scenarios). lastly, it's got mad style points. easily one of my favorite weapons in the game. quick note: i tend to throw some points in to attunement for more L2's. most people don't expect you to use it while your weapon is already buffed, and when they see your buff drop they know an L2 is coming. mix it up! throw em out there whenever you're at a safe distance!
why does everybody explain controls with controller buttons when there are still people that play pc dark souls I use keyboard and mouse and have no idea what you are talking about
Anyone In Cherno i dont have a controller and cant buy one at the moment and i would have a controller for ds1 because the mouse cursor wont get off the screen but i actually like using mouse and keyboard for ds3
I hit 2 guys with that L2 they were both beautiful moments and took a little less than half their health but yeah its for the most part impossible to really hit maybe if you knocked them down with a different weapon than switched but anyways nice video
+DamnNoHtml Ive done it plenty of times just gotta get the spacing right of course if you do it in there face you get back stabbed but sometimes ppl attempt a running attack or they think they can back stab you if they attempt a backstab while to far away they get hit by the lightning bolt if they attempt a running attack you can immediately hit em with an r1 and get a two hit combo plus there's no harm in trying if you space it correctly and learn the wind up time the only other option for people is to just ignore and Dodge it. It's just a nice little bait that works from time to time it's hard to punish the L2 on a sword spear if you time it right
"We here at Fromsoftware believe in lying to you. Because fuck you. " This quote needs be enshrined in a golden plaque at From headquarters.
U still remember that Guy who got Hit by the lightning?
I was that guy.
Feelsbadman.
I was hit by that lightning attack today. Twice. I curled up for the rest of the fight, I was so embarrassed.
+Chris Morales lol i hit many players with that attack before, its not all that easy to dodge it for everyone.
+Trancer006 My Problem was that heute was on stream and my Hands sweat and Shaked so hard i cant even swap right :D
So happy you made that. I fucking love this wpn. Scott seriously, so many people get hit by the weapon art.... you don't know how actually effective it is.
You'd be surprised how often that weapon art buff hits people.
Right? You'd think after the first time getting hit or even seeing it they would never get hit by it again.
IKR?!
Well, not that surprising in my opinion considering that Nameless King's buff is slightly delayed while the actual weapon's buff is not. I fell for that a few times because I always think "Okay, he's using the buff so after he raises his spear I'll have to wai- *gets hit*".
Obobobo sends his regards.
that dude at 16:00 was crisp. on point spacing and being smart by not using charge when your parry tool was out.
C R I S P B O I S

F90games regardless, he still played it smart.
That fight at 14:17 against the Lothric Knight Spear was amazing!
Best cough ever, holy fuck
The quality is 360P. The picture of the video isn't even there. It's glorious
As much as I enjoy seeing you absolutely wreck people Scott, it's nice to see you match-up against randomly skilled duelists and occasionally lose. Anyways, thanks again for your hard work and keep on uploading :)!
19:46 That was me! I was going for "weasel" with my fashion souls so I'll take that as a compliment.
I kinda want to see a Moonlight Greatsword NTD, I haven't seen anyone use it in DS3.
Why no Leo Ring? And would you consider using Bloodlust? When its buffed with the L2 it does a lot of damage.
You know the Giants set makes you unstoppable.
doesnt the lothric spear fuck up opponents poise?
can you do one on the demons great axe?
So Scott, what is the best defense for that side step crap anyway? If your not using a fast weapon I mean... With my Pyro build I hit them every time with fire whip... But with a halbred or spear I can't seem to figure out a counter....
Just have a spare Dagger and mash R1. Corvian Greatknife works perfectly.
+DamnNoHtml thanks man, will do.
How about doing the actual Dragonslayer Spear? Please?
What chest piece was that last guy wearing? Old sorceror? Nothing else even looks close.
You were surprisingly close guessing "old sorcerer"!
It's actually the coat that Orbeck wears, the Clandestine set.
So I didn't even realize the tournament had already happened. Anywhere I can look to see the results? Sorry to hear you lost though man :/
I've never seen Yhorm's + Dark Sword. I hope to see a Narrated Thought Duels in which you utilize a setup of the aforementioned sort.
Are you going to do one of the lucerne? I'm curious to know what your thoughts on my fav weapon are.
considering its a halberd that does only thrust... i dont see why he would have a problem with it
Lothric long spear has higher hitstun. You can probably HA through other spears, but that one requires higher poise
Lothric longspear is Pike class, not spear class, so it potentially has greater hyperarmor damage.
Dragonslayer spear vs this?
I know you don't like Curved Greatswords, but I really want to see your thoughts on the Wolf Knight Greatsword.
I meant, Old Wold Curved Sword.
what armor is he using?
17:00 is that the first time scott dies using a serious weapon?
Did you know there's a different attack with any weapons if you attack after a stepback ? It's some kind of dash which is very cool...
It's the running attack
It's just a running attack bro, compare them and you'll see.
+Shieh Stan Oh... I see. It's still usefull to attack ennemies with it because nobody expects to use it...
That's a great argument except everybody expects it
Damn, that parry at 09:50 was stone cold.
The four-pronged plow has become my favorite weapon for some reason. Its damage is "meh" at best, but I'm pretty sure it's almost as long as the Lothric long spear. I like to have a Llewellyn shield and Morion blade in my off-hand, though I'm currently experimenting with a War Pick for the extra counter damage. Good times.

The Lothric Spear gives you poise, not poise damage, at least according to its description.
Nice review, might give it a crack. Such a late game weapon tho.
Fuck that spear guy was good, he knew his shit.
Thank you for doing this weapon Scott. I had no clue it had the halberd moveset/hyper armor when two handing. I tried it out and it's easily one of my favorite weapons already!
Hey Scott, do you think this thing is worth using at all without being at the Faith requirement?
No way, your stamina cost is like doubled if you dont meet a stat req
Man, what was up with all those invasions near the end?
He fingered once a summon glitched.
The swordspear is nasty, and yes, the running attack is disgustingly good
Is it worth to have like 40 faith with this weapon or quality is better?
Dex/Faith from my experience.
Quality is best. You get almost no bonus damage from Faith.
+DamnNoHtml Thx
***** Well you don't get any normal damage, but it greatly boosts the buff attack. If I hit someone they lose at least half of their hp.
I think dedicating stats to an ability that will hit 1 out of 100 times is a bad idea.
Longspear does ten poise damage, thats why you got knocked out of HA
What damage? Wtf is poise?
Tipical Gandalf talking s*it like what was it called "poise". No one understands your mystical words Gandalf!
Kristian Rachew Sebastion McFarland Poise affects hyper armour doods. The more poise you have, the more hyper armour you have.
Gandalf, it's um... it's sarcasm.
TheBusStopGuy Shit fuk
its cathartic to see a good player have trouble with lag like i do, when i play all night theres a shift at some point where everyone in my area goes to sleep and i get lag from then on, the other day i went for a running r1 missed and then 5 seconds later the hit registered on the guys shield and he turtle poked me from across the arena, i just gave up
Great to see Scott get rekt by the weapon I use in duels. Gives me motivation to git gud.
The dude that beat you with the Lothric knight spear gives increased poise, so I'm also wondering if it has hyper armor breaking properties, which is why you didn't get hyper armor when you hit him.
I knew someone would mention that the Lothric Knight spear gives more poise. Good on you.
This is my favorite weapon by far! Not the strongest pick, but such a great varied moveset. Not just poke, poke, poke, poke.
Narrated thought invasions?
I think some people think the lightning strike is like a normal buff and so leave you
Lol the "energizer bunny"
I don't understand not aiming the battle art at people. If you don't aim it, you'll never hit anybody, but if you do aim it, then you MAY hit someone. So why not give it a shot?
What's that, Scott using a good weapon?
The running r2's are great to trick parry kings, especially after a few running r1's
Try the great Lance, if you left hand a long sword it's a pretty good combo.
Four-pronged spear for Narrated Thought Duel XXII please
maybe the hyper armor is less because it's supposed to be a straight sword/ spear. so it gets less hyper armor because the sword part
yeah, that's why it has lest hyper armour than halberds. it's not a spear/sword combo but rather a halberd/spear combo
+Kieran Whiston but it's a swordspear. i heard the first 5 seconds of the video. it's a swordspear because it has halberd and spear movesets.
scott can you do the wooden great hammer pls (im gonna write this under every video of yours from now until you use it just like the smoughs garbage hammer)
no, its basically a joke weapon and i already did the broken straight sword
I was the guy at 11:00...
Just my luck to get Jund as my first fight in two weeks haha :D
gg though
if you ever run out of weapons like ever, and somehow forgot about the Executioner's Greatsword or Vordt's Hammer, try them, because you still need to suffer from greatweapons after getting kills with smough's
This weapon also helps for faith builds that want a slightly cheaper way to attack. Sunlight Spear is expensive, and great lightning spear does meh damage. Falling Bolt is the best of both worlds, I wish it were a spell on its own.
Gonna do something special for your thought duel XXX?
definitely should be a whip. or some combination of the dark hand grab and sacred flame.
Or the Saint Bident. Because double penetration.
hells yeah im liking this creativity
Alright Scott how do you get your health regen so high. I know you have a blessed parry spammer and you swap to the SPR but I watch your health and it regens so quick, but when I do that, it regens so fucking slow
I don't do anything else other than that.
Make sure your blessed weapon is +10 if you want fast regen, the higher it's upgraded the faster the heal ticks
Hey can you try the MLG Sword?
Try using the Storm Curved next!
That would literally just be every video where I use Carthus but it takes 1 more hit to kill them.
+DamnNoHtml Try using the scimitar. It has flippy attacks Kappa
But it has a cool WA =(.
TWIN PRINCES GREATSWORD PLEASE
13:20 that hitbox porn man, so good
wtf 360p
Give it like 30 minutes to render and you can watch it in 1080p
Lu
30 minutes is decent
The weapon art hits people probably because they think it works as Nameless's attack - with slight delay.
long spear is longer guys, that's why it's the long spear, mmkay?
Dual Avelyn PvP. I play it on a luck build so Splintering bolts can inflict bleed.
I remember at release the falling bolt hit 90% of people xD
Interesting video Scott, although I think there's really no reason at all to not lock on to them while using the weapon art. A surprising number of people do get hit by it. And even if you assume it only has a 1% chance to hit, if you literally aim it away from them it has a 0% chance to hit, so I don't see what you gain by doing that.

Has carthus been nerfed yet?
Bryce Jones yes
Panic roll a bit after 14:00 hahahahaha
Just started playing this weapon yesterday and like the second kill I got was from the weapon art, hahahaha.
i once hit someone twice during the same duel with that weapon art.
Notification sqaud/10
14:58 This.
Real viewers can only watch in 144p
I just released I've never used a shield
please use Richard's rapier
why does everybody explain controls with controller buttons when there are still people that play pc dark souls I use keyboard and mouse and have no idea what you are talking about
R1 is a light attack, R2 is a strong attack, L2 is the Weapon Art.. That's pretty much all the translation you need.
+DamnNoHtml thank you
Anyone In Cherno i dont have a controller and cant buy one at the moment and i would have a controller for ds1 because the mouse cursor wont get off the screen but i actually like using mouse and keyboard for ds3
Lol Obobobo would be proud!
\[T]/
402 on a fucking running attack hori shit.
I hit 2 guys with that L2 they were both beautiful moments and took a little less than half their health but yeah its for the most part impossible to really hit maybe if you knocked them down with a different weapon than switched but anyways nice video
U'd be surprised how many scrubs actually get hit by the weapon art.
Annoyed by Carthus? Gargoyle Flame Spear. Enjoy the rage mail.
The L2 can bait people into two R1s
But its so slow you can just get backstabbed, unless they're very far away.
+DamnNoHtml Ive done it plenty of times just gotta get the spacing right of course if you do it in there face you get back stabbed but sometimes ppl attempt a running attack or they think they can back stab you if they attempt a backstab while to far away they get hit by the lightning bolt if they attempt a running attack you can immediately hit em with an r1 and get a two hit combo plus there's no harm in trying if you space it correctly and learn the wind up time the only other option for people is to just ignore and Dodge it. It's just a nice little bait that works from time to time it's hard to punish the L2 on a sword spear if you time it right
You should do lothric spear or I'll hit u.
Na fam, great lance fo lyfe.
Do profaned great sword
I always hit people with falling bolt I guess everyone is dumb
seriously. you say you like balanced weapons. use the twin princes greatsword, that thing is balanced af
I love calling what they're gonna do and then getting killed by it anyway LUL
I actually hit people all the time with the L2 ¬.¬
The L2 can hit people lol
twenty fifth!!!!!
360p WutFace
Why clapping? Just wave on them.
