This will be the last spoiler free video. Every video from this point will include DLC boss gameplay Edit: Claws of Night skill is not unique as it can be equipped onto the Throwing Daggers. I did not forget about it.
@@Sargatas Some people have jobs and kids lol. It took me 50 hours to beat so I imagine there are plenty of people that haven't had enough time. I don't think those people would be here though so it's probably a good time for him to start showing dlc gameplay for the rest of us.
One extra thing about the bloodfiends spear being worse than moghs spear is that you had to kill the boss that gave you the better spear to even get to the worse spear
The bloodfiend spear does more bleed and damage on the base moveset than mohg's spear, the ashes on both are not very good in pvp so it isn't really a consideration for me
Still insane to me that both of Radahn's swords (Light and Lord) aren't just made into one set of paired swords with a stance that uses each skill for light and heavy attacks.
The fact that the scarlet bud hali doesn’t give *one single nanosec of hyper armor* is one of the most confusing frustrating things I’ve ever seen lol it’s such a good ash and has pretty good stance dmg, but god forbid a GNAT hits you during it
I literally pressed L2 a single time while wielding that weapon and got knocked out of it by one of those teleporting pew pew carian guys then learned I can never press that button again. Gg for what could have been a really fun niche weapon.
For some stupid reason From Software and their simps think giving things hyper armor “would be too op!” when, since you wouldn't be staggered, the boss would be able to attack you as much as it wanted during the animation, which I think is a good tradeoff
@@poporiporo Especially in the DLC where you have your resistances all at 60%+ or so and nearly every hit still takes away half your health bar. Tbh though i think it's because of the evasive nature of this ash that it doesn't give hyper armor. There's been plenty of times i thought i should have gotten hit and didn't. My problem is the weapon just kinda sucks period. Damage wise, i mean.
The only real problem I have with the dlc was WHO THE HECK WAS IN CHARGE OF BALANCING. Rain of Fire and divine bird feathers do bafflingly low damage, no reason to use Romina's spell over Scarlet Aeonia except for the spell slots, Mantle of Thorns is a meme when the sorceries introduced are already anemic in quanity, and spells that require 70+ int/faith aren't nearly as effective as the stat requirements demand. Then the weapons it's like no one asked the question "compared to what". Yeah they look cool but either perform the same function or worse than what's in the base game
Head cannon is that those things were monster OP at their inception so they nerfed them into the ground thinking we will patch it to be balanced/decent when the meta starts getting stale
And it's only the super flashy unique weapons, too. Messmer Soldier Axe, as well as the Messmer Soldier Spear are both s tier top of their class. Messmer axe hits like a truck, easily over 600 AR with just 40/40 str/dex quality infused, and the spear is similar. Combine it with the fact that the axe has the faster moveset and the spear has the short spear heavy attacks (on a greatspear no less), they're murder machines. But then I get God's Godly Divine Sword of Righteous Judgement or something and it does sacred blade with 4 times the cost, half the damage, and no weapon buff. I just don't get it
@@Data-AnalystSera I don't know who's in charge of that, but they need either reassigned or fired. Cause it was one of the most disappointing things. You have all this build up for a hidden area or boss and you get the weapon and it's just flashy and hits like a wet noodle or has nonsensical scaling. I get not wanting players to steam roll the dlc but investing into a weapon that takes alot of effort to get is just as terrible if it's bad.
This choice was really terrible, they basically copied the ordovis weapon skill and pasted it at the devonia’s hammer. Crucible knights build have like 2-3 useful incantations
Yep! I wish they were great but my str faith build is still going back to Malekith, BB, GUTS and even giant crusher at times because they are all way better than DLC weps
Maybe that's why so many ppl still run around with moonvheil or rivers or stars of ruin / rock sling I made fun of them at first but seeing how most new spells and ashes suck I get it
fromsoft: hey guys in the dlc theres a whole 8 new weapon type. and we’ll give each weapon type 2 or 3 weapons. here have a thousand more colossal weapons 😊
Really feels like From barely did any balancing for the dlc lol. Between the incants being mostly bad and a ton of AOW of the new weapons being worse than vanilla ones or just being poor without any hyperarmor, I don't know what they were thinking.
Just like base game at launch in a few patches stuff might be balanced Funny tho they made the exact same mistake they did with spells they did at launch
@@llawlied6902 It's funny. At release, I did a STR/FTH build. The dlc is giving the same PTSD of everything feeling subpar. But, like you said, once several patches addressed both aspects, the build got very good. I'm expecting a mega patch in the near future. But damn is it weird to see rain of fire and electrocharge (which ask for 30 and 52 FTH respectfully!) and picturing someone go "yes add this in".
@@TheOneBearded that's so true some new incants are just not working properly it's like they never tested them even once And the poise lack for spells seems really weird like just test messmers orb against any regular enemy and see how any attack will cancel the animation how can this be intended meanwhile some other stuff has infinite poise for some reason Also PvP is really annoying with the damage creep where everyone can two shot players at LV 120 and above it makes having 50 or 60 points into vigor near pointless
@@llawlied6902 Exactly. It's the release of the base game all over again. I'm interested to see how they balance some spells tho. Besides some definitely needing hyperarmor, will they increase the damage for the higher FTH requirement ones or keep the damage but decrease the requirement. I really hope it's the former. Such a baffling idea to have early game level incants for an end game level dlc.
@@TheOneBearded i expect these all of the stuff from the dlc to get patched later but its really disappointing to see that they made the same mistake im the dlc as they did on launch. I have a feeling that fromsoft is scared to make powerful equipment because they think it will be too op but it just results in the opposite problem.
Probably wont see this, but just started watching your videos for the DLC, and since then, you have been my favorite Elden Ring content creator! Thank you Youwy!
One thing I haven't heard people mention, the weapons that split into two when you two hand them allow you to carry the blasphemous blade in the offhand and give you health regen when you two hand them.
I feel like they were way WAY too careful with these skills and weapons in the Dlc in general. They were holding back so hard with most of these which is a shame. Shoutout to Steven! We love you!
Since I didn't see anyone mention it, the Ash of War "Blindfold of Happiness" is a lot worse than Assassins Gambit, since the former doesn't silence your footsteps like Assassins Gambit does. So unless you are crouching, most enemies will still notice you
Can we all just thank Youwy for how much he's busted his ass making these vids? Since the minute the DLC dropped he's been deep dive explaining everything, all while not spoiling boss/story stuff. Thanks man. We all love this game and your videos contribute to us enjoying it much more.
Everyone ranks subjective things Even some aspects of the weapon arts are subjective. Early on in the base game a lot of things were overlooked based on subjective experience. Like additional inputs were overlooked. These videos are informative and have a lot of objective information. But most of the lists or ranking videos are subjective in a lot of ways. Anyway, I vote commander asshole and his hippo. I finally beat him last night. But that fight was rediculous. I had to bring in mimic and use bleed on a spear with a great shield and stamina tear and just keep my shield up
Woah, people were giving you grief? Your videos have been massively educational and have informed my decisions on how I use my time. Ultimately that's a massive service and I appreciate it very much.
I thought bloodfiends sacred spear must be bugged. It does like no damage and doesn't even seem to build up much bleed. You can't even kill squirrels and birds with it. It has to be bugged right?
Great job, Steven. Keep up the good work... He has also taken more hits from me while I'm testing my builds than every other enemy in the game put together. And, he still keeps coming back for more. 😄😄😄
the infinite stamina tear actually has a single pretty decent use. bullying mohg. the infinite stamina crystal tear makes it so you can just spam your damage and poor mohg will just say tres dos unos and then die
The Greatsword of Solitude’s skill vaccum slice reminds me of the Drake sword’s ranged attack from Dark Souls 1. Anyone else cut off tail of the helkite drake on your first playthrough of DS1 by shooting it with a bow from underneath the bridge? Ah the good ol days when noone I knew irl actually played Dark Souls but me.
#24 Onze's sword has a follow up like rain attack when you hit R2 at the end of the combo, try it out when you aren't fighting as you get knocked out of it easily. I can't consistently do it, but I've done it many times just messing around with it trying out the AoW.
Great videos and I love that you show off all of the new stuff without spoiling much. Seems like everybody else only shows the DLC weapons against DLC bosses
@@thatonedude If you think an argument has to be made, you are mentally challenged or have got a deficiency, it is as obvious as it gets, crazier thing is that it has to be explained to someone like you, it would have been unbalanced had they cost stamina, there's a lot of things that don't make sense in the game, but you are playing a fantasy world game with wizards and some god-like beings, nothing makes sense, calm your tits little man
The skill on the dragonhunter Katana also has an effect similar to destined death on dragons (Or atleast on the ghostflame dragon in the cerulean coast)
from soft makes no sense sometimes. multiple of these are the same as base game weapons, but worse. almost like we should have gotten the shittier version FIRST and then get the cooler upgraded version in the long awaited DLC sometimes all i can think is: what the fuck is wrong with these guys
The wind effect in the bear claws also makes you unable to stop guarding while being hit by it so against some shield types of build in pvp it’s pretty useful
Fan shot is supposedly bugged. Apparently it just deals the full damage of all arrows combined instead of set damage per arrow hit (so regardless of if you hit 1, 3 or 5 It still deals full damage) Seriously hope they don't fix that so bows can be viable but when was the last time they left a bug in because it's a fun bug?
Claws Of Night has to be my favorite with Scattershot Throw. This skill seems to act a bit differently than the regular one with Throwing Dagger. More range, more status effect, better tracking. The point blank shot deals a huge amount of damages and can proc bleed on the first use, second for Steven for instance. With this claw range on basic attack, the good overall damages, it is a monster of a weapon. The R2s are a bit lacking but it would have been the best weapon in the game hands down with some Raptors Talons R2s ! I pair them with some Cold Raptor Talons or Cold Backhand Blades just because of the initial C scaling in Intelligence (15 Int requirement too) before the bug fix. Still having very good results up to this day.
Just further proof that everyone saying the DLC is 10/10 is wrong. It’s a solid 6, maybe a 7 simply because 90% of the reward content is reused/reskinned AND trash on top of that. Such a shame too, so much of this content is promising and they just dropped the ball tremendously. If they update some of this stuff it’ll be a solid 8 or 9/10, until then, it’s an alright DLC.
My man, most of the rewards might not be OP but 95% of them are usable and can get you through the game no problem, just use whats fun/cool not everything needs to be broken the only valid point I agree with is reskins, they do that a lot that's a fact, but lets not act like only 10 weapons in the DLC are usable
There's enough fun stuff honestly but just like the base game at launch most are either weak, unpractical or too strong The re skins sometimes are cool and sometimes boring just like base game stuff that was copied from DS3
@@justhaku9240bro he prob looks at best weapon in Elden ring guides and does runs using that rather than just picking what he likes and beating bosses or doing challenge runs.
Seems like it could be fun to combine the flowerstone gavel with the blinkbolt weapons. Proc the lightning damage debuff with the gavel skill and then switch to the twinaxe or longhaft axe and go to town, or if you want to stay at range just use knight lightning spear.
Just a note that Thiollier’s Hidden Needle can indeed proc its bonus damage off of the sleep stagger animation, it’s just impossible to do so if the animation was triggered by the skill itself. If you use the weapons passive sleep buildup first or a sleep pot, you can one-shot players if you have the Trina’s smile talisman
Let me say this. You have a lot of "know it all" haters on your other videos and I simply don't understand it. Your vids have been extremely helpful and informative to all three of my builds. Fuck those haters! Keep doing what you're doing fam! Thank you!
These videos have been great for me personally I switch weapons every 10 or so bosses I help people with so having viable options already noted helps a lot been running a full inventory a lot of as of recently
Yeah the Greatsword of Solitude weapon skill should be higher on this list. That combo is nice because that lung is useful. It isn't a boss killer but you don't fight bosses most times.
I'm surprised I haven't seen much about the Unending Dance skill. I used it for most of my DLC play through and melted bosses. Glad to see it getting recognition.
May I just say you make the best tier lists? All the info one could ask for besides PvP No trash talk Very accurate Very honest which I love And even tried making the trash work and points out the weaknesses Every ER fan should get this recommended
@youwy the ansbach bow skill behaves so that the damage peaks to 100% when 2 arrows hit, otherwise you do 50% with one. Status is also capped at 2 arrows worth even if all 8 arrows cap. Frankly when you use bows a lot quick shot is a much better skill.
Radahn light is a pvp weapon. So I can see why so many other wepons outclass it in pve. However, the ash of war is fast with hyper armor. I'm enjoying it more than lord. If they make the damage a little more than the power stance jump attack, it would be a lot better for pve.
Flowerstone Gavel skill does great on an arcane build that uses the dragon communion seal when casting lighting incantantions, sadly, most of the time the dragon communion incantantions themselves are going to do better dmg. Stacking Golden Vow, the buff from the Dragon Stone and then Flame, Grant Me Strenght, makes it so Dragon Maw easily does 5k dmg on a lot of enemies, Dragon Claw does around 3k dmg per hit so it has better dps but less hyper armor, managing to cause frostbite with Borealis' Mist gives even more dmg, and for those that can be bothered you can stack the other unique buffs for even higher numbers.
Dont forget to take a break from time to time man. I appreciate amount of quality and long videos you've been releasing every day but hope you're not sacrificing your health for it.
Sharpshot talisman doesn't actually require you to free aim. You can shoot while locked on and free aim afterwards before the arrow hits and you still get the bonus. Tested it on the troll outside Godrick's boss room.
I know this is out of your purview usually, but I’d love to see a video comparing the various inherent elemental scaling weapons (The Black Steel weapons, Fire Knight weapons) and how they stack up with various stat lines and setups.
I think spleep, how it ahould work is by buffing any stance damage taken during the stagger animation. Being hit when your sleeping would "knock you" more than if you were fully awake and expecting such an attack
Yeah I used rancor shot to kill Bayle with rot and poison arrows very easily. The dancing lion in Rauh as well was very easy to cheese from a long range.
I think you need to take another look at the Obsidian Lamina/Dynastic Sickle Play. There is an interesting "Feature", As I don't know if this is a bug so it'll remain in quotes, where if you use a weapon skill and then immediately switch to Obsidian Lamina. It'll have a new follow up attack for its' I-frame dodge that does a double swing. I've seen a few people talk about this and most people think it's a bug but I don't think so as the animation for this "Secondary" follow up just looks to good to be "A bug".
one of my favorite things to do with rellana's swords is do the fire skill, heavy, light combo. its extremely good on staggerable enemies and works almost like a true combo
you forgot scattershot throw from Claws of Night. IMO S tier ability. can staggerlock most small enemies, even if one blade throw hits, it's dealing upwards of 300 damage, if you hit all it's dealing upwards of 1k, three throws max to cause enemy to bleed, it throws each volley insanely fast. it really has no downside. R2 is also a ranged attack, and charged it can deal like 600 damage. Guard counter with it is a unique guard counter animation where you simultaneously backstep & throw out blades. overall such an amazing weapon imo.
Verdigris Greatshield’s ability may be next to useless but the shield itself is a great alternative to Fingerprint imo. Little less weight, little higher guard boost. A decent choice for the DLC’s final fight
This will be the last spoiler free video. Every video from this point will include DLC boss gameplay
Edit: Claws of Night skill is not unique as it can be equipped onto the Throwing Daggers. I did not forget about it.

Shadow lands: "Noooooo!"
Those falx hits on malenia look so satisfying
congrats on 100k man, shoutout to steven as well
Congratulations for 100k!
#24 Onze's sword has a follow up like rain attack when you hit R2 at the end of the combo, try it out when you aren't fighting as you get knocked out of it easily. I can't consistently do it, but I've done it many times just messing around with it trying out the AoW.
**DLC weapon skill exists**
Youwy: Well.. there is already a similar ash of war but better.
Great videos and I love that you show off all of the new stuff without spoiling much. Seems like everybody else only shows the DLC weapons against DLC bosses
Crossbows costing stamina makes no sense
It's extremely hard to pull that trigger😅
complaining about a game mechanic which makes the weapon viable is crazy
@@Billy_Herrington1969and making no good argument about it is even crazier.
@@thatonedude If you think an argument has to be made, you are mentally challenged or have got a deficiency, it is as obvious as it gets, crazier thing is that it has to be explained to someone like you, it would have been unbalanced had they cost stamina, there's a lot of things that don't make sense in the game, but you are playing a fantasy world game with wizards and some god-like beings, nothing makes sense, calm your tits little man
Boss when use it: 🔥💪🏼
You when use it: 🤡
The skill on the dragonhunter Katana also has an effect similar to destined death on dragons (Or atleast on the ghostflame dragon in the cerulean coast)
from soft makes no sense sometimes. multiple of these are the same as base game weapons, but worse. almost like we should have gotten the shittier version FIRST and then get the cooler upgraded version in the long awaited DLC
sometimes all i can think is: what the fuck is wrong with these guys
Shout out to Steven! Been making Youwy look good from the start! Great content Youwy, keep it going!
W Steven, respect for the real one
The wind effect in the bear claws also makes you unable to stop guarding while being hit by it so against some shield types of build in pvp it’s pretty useful
Fan shot is supposedly bugged.
Apparently it just deals the full damage of all arrows combined instead of set damage per arrow hit (so regardless of if you hit 1, 3 or 5 It still deals full damage)
Seriously hope they don't fix that so bows can be viable but when was the last time they left a bug in because it's a fun bug?
FS will nerf it, 100%
@@wellingtonrodrigues7654 and they won't even fix blade of ansbach when they do
Congrats on 100k you definitely deserve it! Keep it up man!

Claws Of Night has to be my favorite with Scattershot Throw.
This skill seems to act a bit differently than the regular one with Throwing Dagger.
More range, more status effect, better tracking.
The point blank shot deals a huge amount of damages and can proc bleed on the first use, second for Steven for instance.
With this claw range on basic attack, the good overall damages, it is a monster of a weapon.
The R2s are a bit lacking but it would have been the best weapon in the game hands down with some Raptors Talons R2s !
I pair them with some Cold Raptor Talons or Cold Backhand Blades just because of the initial C scaling in Intelligence (15 Int requirement too) before the bug fix. Still having very good results up to this day.
Just further proof that everyone saying the DLC is 10/10 is wrong. It’s a solid 6, maybe a 7 simply because 90% of the reward content is reused/reskinned AND trash on top of that. Such a shame too, so much of this content is promising and they just dropped the ball tremendously. If they update some of this stuff it’ll be a solid 8 or 9/10, until then, it’s an alright DLC.
My man, most of the rewards might not be OP but 95% of them are usable and can get you through the game no problem, just use whats fun/cool not everything needs to be broken
the only valid point I agree with is reskins, they do that a lot that's a fact, but lets not act like only 10 weapons in the DLC are usable
There's enough fun stuff honestly but just like the base game at launch most are either weak, unpractical or too strong
The re skins sometimes are cool and sometimes boring just like base game stuff that was copied from DS3
@@justhaku9240bro he prob looks at best weapon in Elden ring guides and does runs using that rather than just picking what he likes and beating bosses or doing challenge runs.
I wouldn't say 10/10 but a 8/10 is pretty fair score, it's fun in the first playthrough but I quickly noticed how barebone the DLC is
This was so well put together! Thank you for the content and information.
In the title: No Spoilers
Later in the Video: Greatsword of RADAHN
So the name of the final boss isn't a spoiler for you?
And goes in to make a comment say it's directly the final boss instead of countless scenarios it could be something else
Womp womp
Congrats 100k youwy. I’ve been watching for about a year and it’s great to see someone get success without selling their soul to UA-cam.
Seems like it could be fun to combine the flowerstone gavel with the blinkbolt weapons. Proc the lightning damage debuff with the gavel skill and then switch to the twinaxe or longhaft axe and go to town, or if you want to stay at range just use knight lightning spear.
Youwy I started watching you probably since you had fewer than 10k subs years ago, now you reached 100k and you deserved them so much
Just a note that Thiollier’s Hidden Needle can indeed proc its bonus damage off of the sleep stagger animation, it’s just impossible to do so if the animation was triggered by the skill itself. If you use the weapons passive sleep buildup first or a sleep pot, you can one-shot players if you have the Trina’s smile talisman
Let me say this. You have a lot of "know it all" haters on your other videos and I simply don't understand it. Your vids have been extremely helpful and informative to all three of my builds. Fuck those haters! Keep doing what you're doing fam! Thank you!
These videos have been great for me personally I switch weapons every 10 or so bosses I help people with so having viable options already noted helps a lot been running a full inventory a lot of as of recently
Yeah the Greatsword of Solitude weapon skill should be higher on this list. That combo is nice because that lung is useful. It isn't a boss killer but you don't fight bosses most times.
I'm surprised I haven't seen much about the Unending Dance skill. I used it for most of my DLC play through and melted bosses. Glad to see it getting recognition.
May I just say you make the best tier lists?
All the info one could ask for besides PvP
No trash talk
Very accurate
Very honest which I love
And even tried making the trash work and points out the weaknesses
Every ER fan should get this recommended
@youwy the ansbach bow skill behaves so that the damage peaks to 100% when 2 arrows hit, otherwise you do 50% with one. Status is also capped at 2 arrows worth even if all 8 arrows cap. Frankly when you use bows a lot quick shot is a much better skill.
Awesome content youwy, your videos have been helpful ever since I got elden ring. Keep up the good work 👍 also congrats on 100k🎉
You do the best videos by far, due to your incredible time stamps👍🏻
Normally I don't like when videos like that are so long but when you do them time is just flying
Radahn light is a pvp weapon. So I can see why so many other wepons outclass it in pve. However, the ash of war is fast with hyper armor. I'm enjoying it more than lord. If they make the damage a little more than the power stance jump attack, it would be a lot better for pve.
I'm curious about the Serpent Flail. What if you oiled the enemy before the hit?
Steven appreciate that work ethic you putting in bro 💪🏼
I love how more weapons in the dlc have i-frame dodges in their unique skills, it’s so much fun to use
Big thanks to you and Steven for all your hard work!
Flowerstone Gavel skill does great on an arcane build that uses the dragon communion seal when casting lighting incantantions, sadly, most of the time the dragon communion incantantions themselves are going to do better dmg. Stacking Golden Vow, the buff from the Dragon Stone and then Flame, Grant Me Strenght, makes it so Dragon Maw easily does 5k dmg on a lot of enemies, Dragon Claw does around 3k dmg per hit so it has better dps but less hyper armor, managing to cause frostbite with Borealis' Mist gives even more dmg, and for those that can be bothered you can stack the other unique buffs for even higher numbers.
Dont forget to take a break from time to time man. I appreciate amount of quality and long videos you've been releasing every day but hope you're not sacrificing your health for it.
I thought the whole point of the rakshasas weed cuter skill was you could poise through anything no matter what. The item description even says it
Sharpshot talisman doesn't actually require you to free aim. You can shoot while locked on and free aim afterwards before the arrow hits and you still get the bonus. Tested it on the troll outside Godrick's boss room.
I appreciate the effort you put into the vids
I know this is out of your purview usually, but I’d love to see a video comparing the various inherent elemental scaling weapons (The Black Steel weapons, Fire Knight weapons) and how they stack up with various stat lines and setups.
I think spleep, how it ahould work is by buffing any stance damage taken during the stagger animation. Being hit when your sleeping would "knock you" more than if you were fully awake and expecting such an attack
Yeah I used rancor shot to kill Bayle with rot and poison arrows very easily. The dancing lion in Rauh as well was very easy to cheese from a long range.
10:35 a “mist” opportunity I get it like the ash of war mists of eternal sleep 😂
I think you need to take another look at the Obsidian Lamina/Dynastic Sickle Play. There is an interesting "Feature", As I don't know if this is a bug so it'll remain in quotes, where if you use a weapon skill and then immediately switch to Obsidian Lamina. It'll have a new follow up attack for its' I-frame dodge that does a double swing. I've seen a few people talk about this and most people think it's a bug but I don't think so as the animation for this "Secondary" follow up just looks to good to be "A bug".
one of my favorite things to do with rellana's swords is do the fire skill, heavy, light combo. its extremely good on staggerable enemies and works almost like a true combo
yo youwy congrats on the 100k, keep it up :D
I thought I was the only that tested all my weapons and damage on that omen by the underground roadside lol. Great video btw
you forgot scattershot throw from Claws of Night.
IMO S tier ability. can staggerlock most small enemies, even if one blade throw hits, it's dealing upwards of 300 damage, if you hit all it's dealing upwards of 1k, three throws max to cause enemy to bleed, it throws each volley insanely fast. it really has no downside.
R2 is also a ranged attack, and charged it can deal like 600 damage. Guard counter with it is a unique guard counter animation where you simultaneously backstep & throw out blades. overall such an amazing weapon imo.
Cool thing about Rellana’s heavy skill is that it’s a Messmer’s flame skill, so it gets boosted by his helmet.
37:17 It's the fucking Boom Hammer! It's back! My love.
Congrats on 100k my man. You been hard at work.
Congrats on 100k Youwy you the goat
Verdigris Greatshield’s ability may be next to useless but the shield itself is a great alternative to Fingerprint imo. Little less weight, little higher guard boost. A decent choice for the DLC’s final fight
