Storm Blade is really good on Greatswords because, as you said, when you are up close, your weapon hits them BUT it makes the Greatsword swing sooo much faster. So you get Greatsword damage with Curved Sword speed. Ice Spear is amazing. Id put Impaling Thrust above some others you listed but still a good list
Storm blades pretty good on the 2h heavy Great Epee too. Weapon has much more range and basically gives you an improved R1 Moveset that does more damage than every greatsword besides the short gargoyles gs...and you can get both sword and ash straight away.
Wing Stance is weird because while it's an infusable AoW, it's only really equipable on the Milady. It's infusable on light greatswords, but the Milady is the only infusable light greatsword in the game. I think they did it this way to allow players to switch the AoW on the Milady if they wanted and be able to switch back.
I think I might put royal knights resolve in top 5 since it makes buff stacking and one or two shotting great, I like giant hunt too, and phantom slash, the game has so many aow, I don’t think I can make a top 10 but cragblade, lion claw, blood blade being top 3 seems right
I completely acknowledge the fact that this was my first souls game & I’m still learning. However, I seem to like double slash on anything except a katana 😂
Admittedly I do not know the game as well as you or it's stats but I am a huge blood tax fan for it's piercing qualities to go with how it drains the opponents HP. I use it on the great katana. Apologies mate. Great video. Keep them coming.
you don't need to apologise! Blood tax is definitely up there as one of the best ashes - I just preferred these, that's all! If it makes you feel any better, it was part of my first draft but got dropped for wild strikes!
Use Spectral Lance with Blood Fiend's Fork wlth your preferred affinity, get Arrow reach talisman, Shards of Alexander, Filigreed and Dancer charm, have light load, shoot anything from kingdom far far away. I use Giant Hunt on Banished Knight Helberd and Double Slash on Banished Knight Great Sword, cold affinity is the best but pick whatever you think best. Prayerful strike on Black Knight Hammer is fantastic too and finally cold infused Flamberge or Cross Naginata with Repeating Thrust with all the necessary talismans. Experiment with these builds, anything except the Zamor knights will melt down easily, those Z knights are worse than a lot of bosses lol
Today I made a build out of my own head whit the blasfemous blade,ordovis greatesword jump build,whit the axe crucible knight set. Im prety proud of it and how it plays.
The game has been out for so long I just assumed everyone knew of these - Sorry I didn't explain but if there's one or two you liked, simply search them up to find the locations :)
I actually cut the clip out the vid, but I basically consider unsheathe the same as square off (because it does similar numbers in damage and stance) so technically, unsheathe would also be #6 :)
It is one of my personal favourites in terms of fun factor (I love the corpse launches) I just felt these did a little more damage/were more useful and cost efficient :)
@@lharsay yeah with her, you’ll be best just swinging without hitting the follow-ups! But also, there’s better options out there for malenia specifically
The Skyrim music just makes this even better.
I was gonna say that

yes, very true - I forgot to mention that! I definitely overlooked storm blade for the longest time!

A somber ancient list would be awesome!
Yeah, I can certainly do a best "somber weapon" list :)
@tkcjazza ancient somber dragon smithing stone is the most unnecessarily long name for a stone

Yeah, royal's knight is defo up there - I just prefer using the others but make various One Shot builds with RKR is always fun!

Ice Spear is so good and so underrated

Can you show us the location and how to get them as well? In case some players also needs it😭
@@Yekudoo1710 yeah I can maybe do that in future - it’s just the game is almost 3 years old now so assume most people know where to get them :)
Thanks for the video. Even though lion’s claws is a “cheat” it’s good to carry us noobs once we get stuck. It’s a great option to have
Oh yeah, it's helped me with many a playthrough haha - Just as time has gone on, the gimmick has worn off! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

All very nice combos/builds, might have to give one or two of them a try when I can :)
@@tkcjazza Stamp (Upward Cut) is amazing on collossal weapons, try that one too, you could add Melania's rune with it.
Yes no putting In on edge marais sword = good vid 😂

Be nice if u told us where to find these Ashes of War.

Jk but serously no unsheathe?!?! Gotta put that in especially if wild strikes makes the list

So is savage lions claw worse than lions claw
Yes
15:18 dude couldnt even stand up
@@Jatotomierda yeah, I guess I should’ve mentioned that it annihilates lower end enemies 😂😅
no giant's hunt?
It is one of my personal favourites in terms of fun factor (I love the corpse launches) I just felt these did a little more damage/were more useful and cost efficient :)
Bro I enjoy your videos! But seriously why is Waves of Darkness Not on this List...? 😢
@@nbleys5696 it’s super good for PvP, just not so great for PvE - and thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content :)
No blood tax??! But nice list though 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It was considered, but just missed out - very nice ash tho! :)
My número one is sepukku
3:40 She input reads the follow ups every single time :/
@@lharsay yeah with her, you’ll be best just swinging without hitting the follow-ups! But also, there’s better options out there for malenia specifically
your vids used to be more popular...
Elden ring used to be more popular haha - it’s just everyone doesn’t play it as much
