My guy that is no sniper that is a legit railgun. Get the wonder flask with the increase lighting damage and enhanced skill charge. "Rail gun" easily can get close to 2k damage if they have poor resistance.
I really like your demeanor and gameplay commenting, not too cocky, just kinda matter-of-fact and explaining your decisions, on top of being very in tune with the game and its mechanics. Great work that is appreciated, Thanks man
Its moveset is actually worse than other curved greatswords lol, the 2 handed r1 has a really annoying delay that makes it even easier to roll than a normal curved greatsword
The lightning scorpion talisman also really helps you to get consistent one-shots on tankier builds, even though you sacrifice some of your own protections.
@@juanca9351 new game level does not affect matchmaking and hasn't since dark souls 3. I think there was even a patch for dark souls 2 toward the end of its life that remedied that as well.
You should check out the Pike, longest weapon in the game I believe. I've been able to outspace and get in some cheeky hits quite a lot with it in duels, also putting Piercing Fang on it is absolutely hilarious
Oh, this one is a big favorite for sure. Perfect for a Lightning Dex build. So many ways to super-stack the weapon art too, given how it scales from Shard of Alex, Lightning Scorp, Physick, and Godfrey Icon. Last talisman is always a Conceiling Veil for me, one guess as to why.
I honestly love your content, it’s so cool how creative you get at points with builds! Would love to see how you’d do a Marias Executioner build, it’s my fav weapon
I find the best way to hit this AoW is do a non-charged one first which they dodge then do a charged one second. So many people dodge expecting the shorter timer and get roll-caught by it.
Or the opposite, a guy caught me by doing multiple fully charged ones then I walked face first into a not charged AoW. Granted this wouldn’t have killed me if I was at full health, but I wasn’t at full health sooo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the charge attack Physik tear, as well as the talisman, only affects your charged heavies. The Godfrey Icon would be the only thing that affects the charged skill, as well as the Alexander shard.
I would love to see a video done on the godskin stitcher. I found it only a week ago after beating the Noble in like my 6th play through, and have been looking for ways to dual wield these ever since!
I love that no matter what you happens you say “good fight.” Not only is it good sportsmanship, it’s hilarious to watch you curb stomp kids in 15 seconds flat and be nice about it.
This weapon is so polarising for me. It has probably the coolest weapon art in the entire game, the lore is cool and its design is cool but it's a spear which I hate. Definitely need to do a build with it at some point though. BTW any chance of a DMGS build? It's like the iconic fromsoft weapon and I think its pretty cool and very strong. Love the videos btw, found you through suggestion and have been binging your videos now that I'm on summer break
Very good for ganks since you can lock on one person, but as soon as your about to shoot, change the lock on to another person and they will never what’s coming.
great video as always Chase! I'd love to see a showcase for the Duelist Greataxe if it's possible. was a big fan of the BKGA in the previous souls games & i feel like that's as close as we're gonna get in ER. much love!
In fort sol, you didn't even have to walk up to the edge of the wall, as you jump up before u throw and therefore you could have stayed hidden until it was too late.
If you can, I'd love a showcase on Inseperable Sword. It was the weapon I used to finish the game the first time, it has very decent AR, and just looks real good
Love it! I have absolutely adored this weapon since I saw you use it in one of your invasion builds. A nice bonus to this weapon is that it causes enemies to target you (if it doesn't kill them). Thus, thus weapon makes Godskin Duo a piece of cake. Overall, it's a treat to see you weild the Bolt of gransax again
Fun namesake speculation, Gransax is clearly a dragon that assaulted the capital the word sax shares an etymology with a knife of similar name, the seax, a German word for cut, which I think is fun for all the ancient dragons I've evaluated the etymology of there names to decent success and found they all can make some amount of sense, but Gran seems to come from the croatian word Grane which means branch, so Gransax, the only dragon to break through the walls of Lyendell, is the branch cutter
Love this weapon. What works for me alot is to throw like 1 or 2 quick non charged bolts and then when theres an opening i throw a fully charged bolt. More often then not they roll on timing of the non charged bolt and the charged bolt roll catches. Good fun.
Man I've been hooked on your videos and builds, watching for hours on end daily. You've given me the courage to step into the pvp side of the game which I always avoided. Been trying multiple different weapons/status effects/ ashes of war and I'm loving it. Can't thank you enough for the content and your amazing attitude towards this game. Invading into 3v1's have become my favourite, nothing feels better than taking on 3 people in one invade and watching the host run for his life🤣
great vid thanks, motivated me to do a level80 dex build with this wepon and i love it ! little detail: craqued spiked tear doesn't buff the bolt of gransax AoW ! it only buffs charged R2s (source: some guy in the fextra comments).
I plan on using this in my offhand and dragon king's cragblade for a sort of *Grand Draconic Crucible Knight* build, so that way my enemies can never get away. To start off my NG+ playthrough
Nothing as satisfying as one shotting with that. Please try Helphen's Steeple, its a uncommon greatsword that does frostbite buildup with its ash of war and looks good overall!
After I learned about this weapon on my first Faith/Strength playthrough I knew I had to make a Dex character just to use Bolt of Gransax and Dragon King's Cragblade in Invasions. Their Skills do such ridiculous damage and I've hit hosts with the Ancient Lightning Spear Skill for 2150+ before.
mogwyn palace 12:30 was epic.. host of fingers watched you one shot one by one, thinking the whole time if it would happen to him... and then, destiny lol
I'm pretty sure the charge attack physick only works on charge heavies specifically. Alternatively I would use dexterity increase and lightning damage increase.
Using this as a sunbro is great fun. I keep it in my pocket, because I like to try to take the invader solo. If he ignores me I whip it out and hit them in the back with the WA.
I have the feeling that the charged R2 is doing exactly the amount of damage as its target has. A pretty beasty weapon. PS: Hopefully they patch the damage output of power-stancing spears. Currently, there is nothing more annoying than 700 dmg pokes without using much brain.
Based on cinqueda dagger what if the elder beast first chose the strongest race (dragons) to make a ruler and chose placeduesax. He then hosted the elden Ring and was a servant to the 5 fingers like Marika was to the two fingers. But after the 5 fingers split into the 2 fingers and 3 fingers, placeduesax 3 heads melted off due to the flame of frenzy by the 3 fingers, and now only has 2 heads left because of the 2 fingers. And the named dragons you find around the world are his demigod offspring
You shyaould use the Great Épée and the Twinned Knight TwinBlades, using the Épée with Strom Assault is super satisfying to it and the Twinblade with Barbaric Roar is really deadly, especially when you do the R2 attack for the three hit combo.
Yo Chase! It would reeaally make me happy if you tried making a full spellsword build! (Carian Slicer/Piercer, Adula's moonblade, all that) with max cast speed, it could be crazy!
Love this weapon im doimg a ng+6 with this and lighting faith build absalutly destroying everything in its path bolt of gransax . And ancient dragon lighting incantation destroys everything
Ah yes, my favourite weapon class in Elden Ring: Sniper
I demand lobster spirit ash to complete the build
@@AriShinato PTSD moment
My guy that is no sniper that is a legit railgun. Get the wonder flask with the increase lighting damage and enhanced skill charge. "Rail gun" easily can get close to 2k damage if they have poor resistance.

He's quite respectful as he 1 shots dudes. Rarely seen!
You should check out Zamor Curvedsword. The moveset is different than the other curved sword and the ash of war has a lot of poise
I second this. Wish he had a few more fights, I enjoyed watching the duels/invasions even more than his other ones.
It’s terrible. I tried it out because it looked really interesting but it’s just bad.
Its moveset is actually worse than other curved greatswords lol, the 2 handed r1 has a really annoying delay that makes it even easier to roll than a normal curved greatsword
@@getfragged7051 I know ahaha, but I wanna see hoe Chase can make it work
@@LadyMorrigan I know, I got a couple good duel with it and the Ash of War has potential. But I'm curious to see how Chase can make it work
Nothing has made me happier in this series than you one shotting the dragon breather with the spear lmao
The lightning scorpion talisman also really helps you to get consistent one-shots on tankier builds, even though you sacrifice some of your own protections.
@@williaml7390 fuck yeah, i though i was the only one. invading at lvl 80 with that exact setup, you will one shot literally everyone lol
@@williaml7390 I've been having fun with this build all the way into SL 180 ranges. Some people get that high and still get one shotted.
@@jubilantonion1593 do you know if chase is on new game+ in these showcase? Cuz i wanna go into ng+ and im scared it could mess up my pvp range (125).

@@shanec9672 thanks!
Would love to see the dark moon greatsword in a showcase. Been pretty fun to use since they buffed it
Yeah as someone who used it before the buff it was very welcome
You should check out the Pike, longest weapon in the game I believe. I've been able to outspace and get in some cheeky hits quite a lot with it in duels, also putting Piercing Fang on it is absolutely hilarious
range doesnt matter when you proper roll. i even got outranged by straight sword with the pike, this is hilarious do to elden ring network...
@@dex1986 sounds like average fromsoft games network
Actually longest weapon in the game is mohg spear
@@TGLzz that is untrue. Mohg spear is very long, but not longer then pike.
Also sword dance on a pike is funny.
Seems like a very strong weapon for invasions, especially if there are 3 people and the fact that you can switch targets on the fly! Deadly!
For the next weapon showcase, you should try the very underused and never seen Helphen Steeple Greatsword.
I beat the game with that sword. Did me solid
Oh shit, it’s a Morion Blade reference.
I think that one is my favorite for fashion.
I love how happy and jovial you sound in these videos. Brings some cheer to my days, sometimes, like today, THEY SUCK lol
Sorry to hear mate, better luck next day
@@thesaviorofsouls5210 thanks fellow tarnished, 💯🤝

I love how Chase destroyed the dude and still says “fun fight” 10:50
Very kind
been following every showcase, loving to see how each weapon performs, even with my lack of pvp. keep up the awesome work
I remember making a faith build for my first character after watching the trailer. I was disappointed when I found out it doesn’t scale with Faith.
I’d love to see a dual st. Trina’s sword build, it’s underrated
Underrated? It feels like bullying lol. I don't even want to use it, even if it is strong.

You can tell how strong the weapon is by how short Chase's video is. Less time equals more demolishment.
From that we see that Vyke great spear is the best weapon in game, followed by moonveil and zweihander... I approve of this method
@ LMAOOO. Empirical evidence
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the charge attack Physik tear, as well as the talisman, only affects your charged heavies. The Godfrey Icon would be the only thing that affects the charged skill, as well as the Alexander shard.
The talisman counts for charged...incantations only i believe. Thats all i know.
@@thesaviorofsouls5210 Charged spells AND skills. Skills are ashes of war.
@@SolidGoldoni well will you look at that, thanks for letting me know
Been loving the series bro. U keep ‘em coming and I’ll keep watching.
We getting a weapon showcase daily that's awsome
The first guy to die to the Bolt had the best surprised death scream.
I think the charged tear only buffs heavy charged attacks given its symbol in the upper left corner but I'm not sure tbh
i thought so too, is there maybe a glitch i didnt know about?
i was not positive either, which is why i attempted it in this showcase haha
I was curious so i tested it out, the charged tear does not affect the ash of war
Edit: the charged attack talisman also does not affect it
You’re such a good UA-camr. Good content every day, what can I ask more
He finally nails lightning spear at 9:52
Fun thing to do with this weapon is it can do easy 180s so if your back turned and you use it they can get caught off guard
Chase, for your next weapon showcase, could you summon flies into your opponent's room? Underrated AoW, looks like he got you at 11:32
I would love to see a video done on the godskin stitcher. I found it only a week ago after beating the Noble in like my 6th play through, and have been looking for ways to dual wield these ever since!

Bolt of Gransax? More like Bolt action sniper of Gransax
I still can't believe Chase hasn't used the Hand of Malenia. I suppose it isn't very Canadian as the weapon art is rather impolite.
"I am Canadian, blade of moose"~Chasethebro
@@purevessel Møøse bytes kan be pretti nasti.
Perfect timing ⏱
Flamburge with Double Strike and Occult please. It's a lot of fun and I think you will enjoy it.
I love using the Trick Mirror with this for invasions. It’s perfect to snipe someone for a random one shot when they have no idea it’s coming
That vow of the indomitable through your attack was a Chad move ngl
great video as always Chase! I'd love to see a showcase for the Duelist Greataxe if it's possible. was a big fan of the BKGA in the previous souls games & i feel like that's as close as we're gonna get in ER. much love!
Burger King Great Axe

To start off my NG+ playthrough
A Maliketh's Black blade showcase would be super nice.
Chase just casually turned into Gwyn in that last invasion :o
My full NG+4 playthrough was purely this weapon and it melted the whole game no issues
Amazing weapon.
Nothing as satisfying as one shotting with that. Please try Helphen's Steeple, its a uncommon greatsword that does frostbite buildup with its ash of war and looks good overall!
Ultimate high level invasion build: one of these, two hand of Malenia, and full bull goat set
After I learned about this weapon on my first Faith/Strength playthrough I knew I had to make a Dex character just to use Bolt of Gransax and Dragon King's Cragblade in Invasions. Their Skills do such ridiculous damage and I've hit hosts with the Ancient Lightning Spear Skill for 2150+ before.
Others use a bow or crossbow as their ranged weapon... I use an epic red lightningbolt.
This is one of those weapons rhat felt like an ultimate upgrade to a weapon class I'd been using the whole game
Add lightning scorpion charm for an extra damage boost.
Lightning shrouding cracked tear as well
Honestly I rarely see people dual wield these spears despite how much easier they are to play aggressive like you said.
mogwyn palace 12:30 was epic.. host of fingers watched you one shot one by one, thinking the whole time if it would happen to him... and then, destiny lol
Heck yeah, new showcase! Let's see what weapon I'm gonna want to set up another whole build for today...
13:22 Absolutely gargantuan balls on that host trying to spell parry a one shot skill
" Do the roar"
- Kid From Shrek 4
I'm pretty sure the charge attack physick only works on charge heavies specifically. Alternatively I would use dexterity increase and lightning damage increase.
Amazing M98B weapon showcase! Next weapon could be one of the fist weapons since I don't remember you've done any showcase of those
Treespear showcase! And the R2 in the move set showcase in the beginning.
"Do the roar!"
Chase is the kid from Shrek 2 confirmed
Using this as a sunbro is great fun. I keep it in my pocket, because I like to try to take the invader solo. If he ignores me I whip it out and hit them in the back with the WA.
YES, my favorite weapon (and the one that carried me through Fire Giant)
Imagine if you dual wielded them, that you could shot 2 lightning bolts instead of just one, it'd be pretty cool
Chase, Thanks for making these! Can you do reduvia soon?
Nice ones Chase. I always look forward to your invasions
This is my favorite weapon in the game. Oneshotting invaders when I'm playing co-op is a lot of fun!
Those poor phantoms dropping like flies.. Cool showcase! Can't wait to see Family Heads
I have the feeling that the charged R2 is doing exactly the amount of damage as its target has. A pretty beasty weapon.
PS: Hopefully they patch the damage output of power-stancing spears. Currently, there is nothing more annoying than 700 dmg pokes without using much brain.
If you're getting beat with people that barely use their brain the ultimately your insulting yourself as well
To bad they didn't I guess you'll have to cope with it

make sure to use war cry and barbaric roar eventually with regular weapons. you could be surprised by the poise! I recommend spears and fists
I would love to see Great Mace, especially with Cragblade Ash of War.
Pro tip if you use a sheild you can block and attack at the same time
New to the souls series after playing Elden Ring. Just gotta say that your content is top tier bro!
I noticed with backstabs you have to be behind the angle of their feet, not necessarily like in DS - DS3 where you just had to be behind them.
How about that weird flail from Astel the Natural Born or whatever their name was? That could be interesting.
I've been practicing that back step lunge catch but fuck...you pulled that out smooth lol
I love being able to one-shot dragon breath and ROB users with this weapon art.
I call this weapon the sniper , It’s lethal if people are not aware of you … but like snipers in real life they’re not good at close quarters combat.
