Unsheathe is so strong just imagine if they decided to give a long range magic attack with it as well. Luckily fromsoft would never do something like that.
The person you fought at around 10:47 gave you such a close fight haha. The fights that end with both people barely having any hp are the best ones imo.
This series is great! You should try out some whips, even if they aren't meta (fire giant's braid and magma whip). Another cool weapon you could try would be the sword of milos, you could use the regal omen bairn with it for a dung eater cosplay!
Cool series. Looking forward to seeing when you get to the Lazuli Glintstone Sword. Sure, it's not much different from just slapping Glintsone Pebble on a longsword, but it's still my go-to weapon for much of my mage-knight playthrough because of how effective it is. I still find the Heavy Attack follow-up to the Pebble is one nasty surprise with decent tracking and range for rollcatching.
U know what I just thought about. U should initiate the buff flask bc ur summoning then into the fight so maybe they are waiting on u to buff first. That parry was beautiful especially with the amount of health he had left. Amazing
Unsheath is just so good. I miss the katana parry though, even if I was absolute t r a s h at pulling it off... Kinda makes we wish there were a couple more 'normal' katanas instead of so many magical ones. OH MY GOD ONE HEALTH, HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN!? At that point I'd have just thrown a knife! Props to that guy for not only more-or-less winning the duel, but not going for the e z finisher there, too!
Fun Fact: Offhand wakizashi will power stance with any katana. Hope to see a mixed weapon showcase with it! Still posting for Family Heads :) Edit: that 1hp duel... holy...
I made the comment last katana episode wishing to see it. smiiiiidge disappointed we didnt get to see it this time but wonderin what he'll do when he inevitably must cover the waki
@@Vash141 I've actually gotten a bunch of parries with the waki. They're not as bad as you think. Worse than shields yeah but if you know the timing its really not so bad. It helps even more when people arent expecting a parry from a waki like you would from a shield.
Hey Chase, great video as always! That fight with Toro was just amazing lol Also, i might've just got lucky a few times, but i find the Unsheathe heavy attack easier to roll-catch, even as a wake-up. Cheers man!
1 katana left to go! Keep like that! Maybe you could try the ornamental straight swords for next video? They're the swords that grafted scions use, also a really unique attack after using the AOW, and also have B scaling with dex
For regular smithing stone weapons that have shared movesets, you should try mixing things up by trying less frequently used AoW. Like, Glintstone Pebble and Gravitas get used a lot but I don't think I've ever seen you try Spinning Weapon. Phantom Slash and Poison Moth never seem to get any daylight, for example. Just a suggestion.
@@anagoth9 spinning weapon isn't really useable at all unless you have a very long weapon to begin with, (think pike, or long halberd) and it leaves you wide open. It's ok in pve for status procs, or stun locking certain foes. Phantom slash is cool though.
I knew nothing about Elden Ring before my first playthrough and I went with the samurai class because it looked awesome. I ended up sticking to the uchigatana for the whole playthrough and beat every boss/mini-boss with it except Rykard. Love this katana
the SHAMSHIR and possibly a non-"curved sword" in the other hand like a poke halberd. the Shamshir feels like it has a very short/cancellable recovery window, so it can flow into stuff like Double Slash really smoothly.
Dual Erdsteel daggers on a faith build as their physical damage scales off faith if infused with sacred/flame art. Katana level damage with a much faster moveset. Also you have not showcased daggers and this would be a nice entry as it's not status effect abuse. Love the series keep it up!
Here's a challenge one: Clinging Bone. Shares the moveset of the bladed fist weapons but is somber and has a kinda underwhelming ash of war (dark hand). But the upside: you get to land dark hand on people in PVP.
The ToroFinno invasion was the best of the bunch. Evenly matched. Do not underestimate the Brass Shield with Carian Retaliation. It will parry, and only use FP if the parry is a spell parry. The parry frames on the medium shield with Carian Retaliation seems to be on par with the Buckler.
Funny thing about Unsheathe and Moonveil Moonveil actually does LESS damage overall with its versions of the attacks, unless you also hit with both the beam and the blade It was supposed to be a trade off, higher potential damage with a more precise timing, or less damage but with more range. Unfortunately, it didn't exactly work out
true, and sometimes spinning slash on the washing pole. Unsheathe is a very powerful AoW though, especially the r2 follow up, but it seems that no one runs it.
Use the magma blade(dual wield) with the magma wyrm greatsword. Be a fire build and use the Nights Calvary armor set. Its a solid strength and faith build, really fun to use and kinda a cosplay. Switching between those is a good mixup and covers the greatsword/short sword weaknesses well
Chase has become like those anime supervillains who have got so op that the only excitement they are capable of feeling comes from finding a worthy opponent once every blue moon... crazy thing is that yes, he does die sometimes, it's not that those videos are just editing out his losses. Fucking unreal man
hi chase! try sacred relic sword and marika hammer!!! and also the maliket sword!!! those three weapons isn´t the best for pvp, but are amazing weapons with insane weapon art, at least for pve
unusheathe and piercieng fang are two references to rurouni kenshin right? unsheathe the signature move of Kenshin Himura and piercing fang (gatotsu) the signature move of Saito Hajime if im correct? love those skills!
Just because I've seen some confusion about it. When you hit an ai, your damage isn't capped by their maximum HP meaning whatever the true damage of your weapon is, it will show the true number values. When you hit a human player, the max damage you can hit is their HP pool. If a weapon kills them then the number shown is whatever maximum HP they had left from the last hit. If you one shot someone it means your weapon does at least that much, not that is its maximum damage.
did you know a lot of dex wepons will get just as much physical damage w occult as with keen? unless you want to use buff spells or certain specific ashes of war (or lightning) most innate bleed weapons are just better on a pure arcane build. another obvious example would be the scavenger's curved sword, it actually gets a significantly *higher* AR with occult v keen, like 50 more damage at 70 arc with min dex v 70 dex, and like 80-something bleed. (but maybe you avoid bleed on purpose?)
Bro i was thinking about trying a pvp build with a rotten battle hammer and a normal one, i just wanna see how you would play with it so if you’d like to showcase them i would really appreciate, otherwise you make amazing videos i love them :)
When do we get to see the Winged Greathorn or the Sword of Night and Flame? I still remember when someone wielded it 30 episodes ago and you were like: What is that weapon? I gotta find out what that is and try it! I hereby start a petition for the Showcase for Winged Greathorn.

So true. It’s like there’s that red arc shot line that only his eyes can see. Incredible.
nah man hes been a pot throwing god for years ds3 bros will know for sure lmao
Love how hyped Chase gets when his opponents almost beat him. That parry reaction was 10/10
Yes, this! ;D
How on earth did Torro not get that kill? Insane survival, loved the fight!

that lightning grease riposte was so amazing. i havent seen a single one in elden ring pvp before but they were always around in ds3. so beautiful
sad that unsheathe + r1 doesn't act as a parry like in ds3, but overall it does great stagger damage
@@dankbudski it's actually specifically the wazikashi. Any other dagger doesnt give it the better moveset

Or if Double Slash had some sort of ranged bleed ability...

Nagakiba + Barbaric Roar is super fun
Does a 3 chain heavy and gives armor; give it a try
ive been trying out the heavy attack altering ashes on a lot of random stuff, and the katanas are some of the most fun to run weird ashes on...
Seems like it was just a couple days ago that this series was on ep 30. Great video Chase

"Buffs make the fight last longer"
5:01 "hold my beer"
The blade that got me through my 1st NG. Back when we were just discovering how insane bleed was.
Also, 11:27 was nuts
10:17 that's me . An honor to fight you chase. gg
*Completely crushes opponent*
"Fun fight man, good stuff"
11:05 not just any parry, either! Dude did the DS3 Pine-bundle parry! Fuckin' legend
You've seen "what the dog doin?"
Now prepare for "how'd the blue die?" 15:52
Elden Ring quickly prevailed lol love the series man keep it up!
I like how you sa hello to people in duels , like you were exited to see them :)
That jumping L1 was beautiful chase
One HP... ONE HP!?!? Chasethelucky strikes again haha and that parry from finno was godtier!
of course chase survived on 1hp on the uchigatana showcase. must be the katana anime powers
The red lightning buff decreases your lighting absorption by like 30
(I think)
let’s all appreciate the challenge sir Torro provided
Today we witnessed the first kill achieved using lightning slash
I knew nothing about Elden Ring before my first playthrough and I went with the samurai class because it looked awesome. I ended up sticking to the uchigatana for the whole playthrough and beat every boss/mini-boss with it except Rykard. Love this katana
Sword of Milos might make for an interesting showcase.
17:10
Roy: K A M U I !!!
Loving the series so far Chase!
"WiFi covenant"
Ok, that one got me.
Chase single handedly made me start keeping them Lightning Pots on deck.. lol
Absolute menace with the pot accuracy as always lmao
wow that toro, parry with mid shield, then buff with the drawstring grease to crit, he was really good.
Fallingstar beast jaw or great knife would b cool to see 😁
the SHAMSHIR and possibly a non-"curved sword" in the other hand like a poke halberd. the Shamshir feels like it has a very short/cancellable recovery window, so it can flow into stuff like Double Slash really smoothly.
11:41...2100 HP taken...still lived to fight another day.
Hey chase, don’t forget the piercing fang and impaling thrust damage go fully through shields. They are great counters and useful at range as you saw.
ToroFinno was the closest tarnished to ever win a duel with the legendary ChaseTheBro. What a fine warrior.
anyone else miss the old weeb parry...?
I hope From adds it in a future dlc
Dual Erdsteel daggers on a faith build as their physical damage scales off faith if infused with sacred/flame art. Katana level damage with a much faster moveset. Also you have not showcased daggers and this would be a nice entry as it's not status effect abuse.

What a great duel to end on
Super weird I had so hopefully right before 17:28 and it was like chase was talking to me lol

great content bruv, keep on with the excellent work
That Toro fight 👌
So the legendary GucciGatana is on the menu today? Delightful 😁
Since Knives have such huge MV on them so their Arts of war do surprising damage, could you do a showcase with knives?
Of all the weapons showcased thus far the two standouts are the Uchigatana + unsheath and Ruins GS as the most powerful in PVP.
