It might be worth looking at which boss cosplay is the most powerful. You have a lot to look at between Godslayers, Radhan, Morgott, Malenia, Godfrey, and even Maliketh. Cosplay in this case means a build that allows wearing the armor and using any weapons/spells used by the boss.
Underrated fun build - The bastard stars and family head synergize well due to both being Dex/Int. Prior to engagement cast family heads, let them get close to the boss, then use Nebula. Great damage, and poise damage. From here it should take one or two jumping attacks to break the poise of most bosses (if enough Nebula explosions hit). So you can slip the crit damage talisman in and misericorde for buffed crit damage and switch back to the stars with no issue - since Stars isn't buffed it won't lose any damage. In addition you can slip Glintblade on the misericorde to make sure that you are not just a damage god, but a poise breaking bastard. Just this combo does astronomical damage. From there you can razzle dazzle with whatever you want to finish off the boss/enemy as you likely forced them into phase two or flat out killed them.
Finally an elden ring content creater who put points in int! 😅honestly this deserves to be higher in the search suggestions, i watched the beginning of 3 videos that had no idea what they were talking about. The vtube rig era is going to be crazy and im so here for it
dude i love your builds they are always original. iv been trying to come up with a faith/dex red lighting build myself, wish me goodluck and keep up the good work!
Hehe this makes me happy. I love the Stars just for their aesthetic, and it was the second weapon I maxed out even though it was garbage. I'm really looking forward to that NG+ playthrough to get twin stars now!
Very nice! On another note, have you tried out the glintstone kris dagger? It's a very similar setup. I've hit an omen for 4200 damage with one fully charged glintstone dart! I call it "The pew pew bang" Here's a nerdy rant about my build's power: Talismans: Godfrey, scorpion, alexander, Buffs: Spellblade Set, magic physik, Commanders Standard (you can afford the 24 str because glintstone dart is very fp efficient and on 11 endurance, you are still on medium roll), terra magica, ranni's dark moon. That is 1.12 x 1.15 x 1.15 x 1.08 x 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.35 x 1.1 = 3.4x more damage without cold debuff. Routine: drink physik, rally, terra magica, (cast moon or freezing mist). Stats: rl 137, 50 vig, 22 mind, 11 end, 24 str, 14 dex, 80 int. (On rl. 125 you pass on the commander's standard, run base strength and 18 mind). Final note: yes, it is extremly braindead but on the other hand very satisfying.
In my personal opinion your the best Elden Ring build UA-camr, since the time you spend with everything is a lot more in depth. And I'd love to know your take on something or anything related to only bows, since I know they have their downsides but I'd love to see how you'd exploit it.
as you said this weapon is truly underrated but once i got used to it, its just a fun weapon to use now mostly im using it in pvp as wake up attack if you know how to space it everybody will get confused by it and it roll catch go with panic rolling
Love the content like always homie keep up the great work and the amazing work of editing and pushing out new content all the time I appreciate all that hard work.
I love flexible weapons and am excited that flails have been buffed in the last upgrade. Thanks for the video, I'll definitely try that! Edit: I'm at 60 int, have the two blue magic talismans equipped and do 500 damage per swing against trolls. The Glintstone Pebble spell does about as much damage. So far this flail is about as OP as a throwing dagger.
Amazing video! love your stuff, would love to see an archer build from you, I've tried to do one myself. Making a broken bow build feels incredibly tough, especially light/short bows
This is better! the wing of astel does attack faster on melee attacms, but the wing of astel does NOT have a melee hitbox. it only has same explosions. the melee hitbox on the bastard stars does around 2k damage even without the explosions!
@@syrobe Bastard Stars spawns 20 bullets in a 360° area around you, Wing of Astel spawns 10 bullets in a 180° cone in front of you. This makes Wing of Astel vastly more consistent than Bastards Stars as the most bullets you can hit with the Bastard Stars is 8. Now as for the explosion, the melee hitbox will do 1,116.972 damage based on the average magic damage negation assuming you aren't using buffs. On average Wing of Astel will hit for 3348.243 damage and Bastard Stars will hit for 2271.835. It's like rolling a dice, the RNG lies in all attacks actually landing. So while it has numerically higher potential, it has less consistency. Which, in the grand scheme, results in it being inferior, despite being numerically superior as higher damage is only better if you can get that damage on demand.
This was the "first" weapon I used as a main, used the thorn wizard chest piece, gloves, boots idk and the horns of those river guys... and the necromancer mace that idr the name as power stance. It was a amazing pve build. (Thats when the game lauched and flails were dog shit)
Damn, guess ill need to pull this out and try it again. I alwasy try to use St Trina's Sword, Wing of Astel, DarkMoon, MoonVeil. I'm a Battle Mage so lets fo thank you!
Great video! I didn't even realize that flail had A-scaling. I've actually used the prisoner calls for Melee Mages as it has more points (not sure if I am wrong on that one)
Credit goes to giggas thiccas. Outside of pve, the funniest one shot ive done comes from bastards stars aoe true combos into monveils transient moonlight slash.
Yeah..I've known this for a while now. I expected buffs to this weapon long ago and upgraded it to the max just in case..and now it fuckin' shreds enemies like butter in ng+7 and beyond
What about the wing of astel, it has a similar ash of war and you can spam it faster plus you don’t need to kill astel to get it but great build nevertheless and congrats on 100k and I hope for a 1mil plaque in the near future
With my int-based character, I usually used the Uchi + Carian Granduer (PvE - I don't PvP), so never really ever used the Moonveil or DMGS :P Currently doing an Int-Fai with... naturally the SoNaF + Golden Order Seal. Don't have the Gelmir staff or prince of death's staff yet.
@Syrobe BTW i destroyed Mohg before he used nihil or even in the meanwhile with the right malenia build and that before all of this patches comes out and i was in new game + so i thought could you do a upgraded full malenia waterfall dance build please?
I love this weapon. But im having a problem actually hitting consistently. Enemies can walk towards you while you swing barely missing your physical swing, and the circle ash will miss because they are too close. I want it to work out so i keep trying and practicing. But i cant avoid the obvious fact that it takes a time investment to position yourself and enemies to where it actually hits
This game really needs transmogrify. I tend to look goofy trying these set ups when really I just don't want to be squishy. I might try the flail. I've been walking around with it in my pocket for a while but I normally use a rapier.
@@syrobe I've seen your mathematically correct frostbite video and notice that you didn't invest intelligence for death's poker. Could that be the reason your death's poker isn't doing as much damage as it should?
1:52 OHMYGOD YOURE BECOMING A VTUBER AAAAAAA I streamed as a Vtuber for about two years and I had a BLAST (I went on hiatus four months ago when my mom was diagnosed with cancer). I’m a composer and music producer, and if it weren’t for my current caregiving duties, I would 100% offer to write you music for free. In lieu of that, I want to pass along the name of a close personal friend, Nycto. He’s a fellow VTuber and music producer who’s written several pieces inspired by ER and other SoulsBorne games. His commission rates are fairly priced, he works fairly quickly, and his music has a way of evoking mental imagery in such a visceral way. A true musical storyteller. I’m only mentioning this because I know firsthand how much work goes into a VTuber debut, and community recommendations/word-of-mouth go a LONG way with regards to finding people for commissions of any kind. IF you’re still in need of music or alerts, I HIGHLY recommend him. I myself also have access to a ton of free resources for VTubing (free VTube Studio backgrounds and items, mostly, but also schedules & stream GFX) and would be more than happy to link you should you need anything to help with your debut! I can’t put into words how excited I am for you. Such a great direction to take your content. You’re gonna have SO much fun once you get your model and have time to tweak the rig settings 🙌
You had me at jingles
Well my flail doesn't jingle jingle, it folds
Bro this weapon is so fun to just run around with just cuz of the jingle alone lmao
i want to like your comment but its at 69
In pvp, if you catch your target with an exploding star, you can true combo into gavel of haima.
mathematically correct jerma build
It might be worth looking at which boss cosplay is the most powerful. You have a lot to look at between Godslayers, Radhan, Morgott, Malenia, Godfrey, and even Maliketh. Cosplay in this case means a build that allows wearing the armor and using any weapons/spells used by the boss.
maybe 😉
Carian Knight is an awesome cosplay build.
how did Jerma figure out the meta before everyone else
I absolutely love this weapon. I mained this in my first run with gravity magic.
About to start my first run with this game and I’m honestly excited 👍🏼

I picked up wing of astel on my first playthrough and never put it down. I love the charged heavy on it, it makes up for the weaker nebula imo
The nebula is weaker because of WoA lower int scaling?
Man you videos make my day, you are so informative and entertaining. Congratulations on the 100k, won't be long to the 1M ❤
Glad this gem of a weapon is getting some coverage lol
Ah man, I love this weapon!! Glad to see it got the rightful buff!!!!
Can’t wait too see you cook when the DLC drops. Master Chef sama 🙏
Dang congrats on the 100K, now lets see the big maths behind this build!
You had me at the kingdom hearts background chime

Nice man I was looking for something different. Thank you great video 👌🏼
dude i love your builds they are always original. iv been trying to come up with a faith/dex red lighting build myself, wish me goodluck and keep up the good work!
very good and entertaining video as always! came here after seeing your status update.. for some reason I didnt get notified about this banger video
Hehe this makes me happy. I love the Stars just for their aesthetic, and it was the second weapon I maxed out even though it was garbage. I'm really looking forward to that NG+ playthrough to get twin stars now!
Good to see new video 😊, congrats on 100000 subs!
Earned my sub as soon as I head the Kingdom hearts dings.
Congrats on the 100,000
Maybe we will see an S rating on an INT weapon in DLC. That would be noice.
Meteorite staff has S on INT but we cannot upgrade it, otherwise it would've been too broken. Just enable us to upgrade that staff.
You would have to drastically increase the requirements to use it then. Otherwise anyone could be stupid broken with it
Had to pause video to give like and right comment due to the jingles :D
"With over 7 thousand fucking damage..." you. Sir, have earned a sub!
I love syrobes builds

I think that you should do a mathematically correct long sworn great sword build, so we can cosplay as solder of God.
your editing is on point!
My fav weapon, its so pretty
Love the content like always homie keep up the great work and the amazing work of editing and pushing out new content all the time I appreciate all that hard work.
thanks bro im just as surprised to see that im still coming up with unique stuff a year+ later

Hey brother, I thought it would be so cool to do a mathematicly correct build with the black knife !!
Great vidéo btw :)
Yeah..I've known this for a while now. I expected buffs to this weapon long ago and upgraded it to the max just in case..and now it fuckin' shreds enemies like butter in ng+7 and beyond
I am here for the jingles😂😂😂
I have an astrologer with 80 int waiting for the dlc. I could do this build right now
This is rlly cool but what would be cooler is a bolt of grandsax build
You should make a mathematically correct rosus axe build, I just started a build around it and the ash of war is busted
been using Bastard Stars since DAY ONE YALL HAVE BEEN SLEEPING 😎
What about the wing of astel, it has a similar ash of war and you can spam it faster plus you don’t need to kill astel to get it but great build nevertheless and congrats on 100k and I hope for a 1mil plaque in the near future

I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
Mathematically correct madness next please
I wish they kept that old silly dance emote from Ds2
Great video. A couple of questions. Is the damage on the AoW gravity based and if so, will the Meteor staff augment the damage?
the staff only buffs spells, this is an ash of war
Time to download Elden again
Fr
@Syrobe BTW i destroyed Mohg before he used nihil or even in the meanwhile with the right malenia build and that before all of this patches comes out and i was in new game +
so i thought could you do a upgraded full malenia waterfall dance build please?
For people looking for funny number int damage carian grandeur ash of war is also very silly damage.
I always thought that weapon was underrated
If it's not much to ask could you make a build using Marais Executioner? I'd like a more mathematical view of it's damage and it's potential damage
There’s a video on a build called the executioner and it melts. I also use mohgs spear for aoe. Definitely a great build
I love this weapon. But im having a problem actually hitting consistently. Enemies can walk towards you while you swing barely missing your physical swing, and the circle ash will miss because they are too close. I want it to work out so i keep trying and practicing. But i cant avoid the obvious fact that it takes a time investment to position yourself and enemies to where it actually hits
When I do it in my game right now it doesn't do the same amount of damage was there a nerf or something?
I'm use this Bastard to big giant target like Placidusax or Astel Face, big target big bomb haha.
Jerma would be proud
I wasn't sold on this weapon till i heard THAT F#%KING JINGLE!!!!
Also couldn't you use the jellyfish shield buff as well?
Not sure why this didnt show up for me in my subs.
two charged glinstone kris ash of wars = 7k damage from a safe distance with the same stats try it!
Dude need to make Lightning useable too😂
When 2 math oriented players say that the Bastard Stars is bonkers, It's because it is
This looks more brutal when you spam it😈
Can you do a mathematically correct parry build?
This game really needs transmogrify. I tend to look goofy trying these set ups when really I just don't want to be squishy. I might try the flail. I've been walking around with it in my pocket for a while but I normally use a rapier.
Any suggestions for leveling up until you get the flail?
Please do mathematically correct carian slicer
Definitely a jingles/10 build
hi, ty for the guide! How do i get rid of the poison from the pot? What do i cure it with?
We need more Astel followers
The goddamn cat toy is the best weapon? LUL alright!
wait why is Shaco in the Thumbnail xD?
Only thing i want in it's apw if some hyper armor while floating like marikas hammer.
The fact that I've seen this in PVP scares me
BABY RATTLE BUILD LETS GO
🐐
Praise be to the baby rattle
Is the spellblade set worth it? On ng and I get smacked around even with 50 vigor. Just need a little more survivability
How is it compared to Death's Poker?
the deaths poker BY ITSELF is not as good as you have to wait to get the frostbite proc for extra damage
@@syrobe I've seen your mathematically correct frostbite video and notice that you didn't invest intelligence for death's poker. Could that be the reason your death's poker isn't doing as much damage as it should?

Is there something you can use instead of the Magic Scorpion Charm but I missed it sadly in my playthrough.
Make next on faith build
is this better than the carian grandeur, or however you spell it?
Make a destined death build
it fucking jingles 🤣
DLC is coming this year? I thought there were some leaks about 2024 or something.
Hey just a question.. can I use the "Flame cleanse me" to take the poison away instead of those consumables?
yes it just takes a sec longer
but what is the difference between bastard's stars and wing of astel as far as I know the skill is the same
Its good but hard to get all idk like orbs to burst at bosses
Or maybe im noob
Na youre not a noob, wing of astel is better, similar ability but more consistent
@@Sr.Mr. hmm yes but i think dark moon gs is best intelligence weapon it’s accurate and got good dmg
@@rRaidenV yea in my opinion its also better, ive tried most int weapons and to me its the best
