I genuinely wish they'd make a "top 10 weapons or builds for Ng+7 and beyond" video. I get that a lot of people don't really play past ng+2 or +3 but some veterans don't wanna start a whole new character from scratch to see boss bars get melted again 😂
I too used Blasphemous Blade for the DLC. Very strong. Can't imagine how strong it was before the nerf. Also, word for advice for the final boss - combining it with a shield is very strong. I wonder if Moonveil doesn't deserve a spot. Still really high damage and stance damage in very short punish windows.
As someone who mains the Dark Moon Greatsword, it pisses me off that they nerfed it. I mean, come ON, it's the reward for a long quest chain! It SHOULD be OP! And if youre using Intelligence as one of your chief stats, you SHOULD be fighting at a distance!
@@justhair17I agree, I used it and it was way too strong, had to stop using mimic tear cause both of us spamming the ash was honestly unfair to the bosses lmao. It’s still one of the strongest weapons in the game so it definitely feels worth after the whole questline.
I'm surprised "No hyper-armour" is something so many content-creators focus so heavily on, but nobody is considering running Bull-Goat's Talisman and 101 poise to not care.
Same.. I mained Bolt of Gransax with Milady as a backup, then maxed out poise at far as I could get it (112) and it's almost like having iron jar aromatic on all the time. 😄Cheers 🍻
OG astel wing user here. Ive held onto it as a main weapon since June of release year. Its so versatile and breaks pvp rhythm easily when combined with glintblade and cometshard
Where's the Magma Blade? The ash of war is completely busted, the ticks from the magma count as successive attacks and can be buffed with Rotten wing and Milicents prosthesis, and the etc... Not to mention that it normally breaks the boss instance in a few casts
Yeah, I'm using them too. Best moveset in the game, huge dps & best of all, being a Fth/Dex weapon means you can use all those nice incantations or fall back on the Blasphemous Blade if things get tough without much hassle too (which I have most definitely needed to do at times lol)
I'm been running it for quite a while. It's a really solid weapon, but it's damage/stagger potential isn't quite as high as most of the picks on this list. Still works great when infused with Flame Art whilst using the Flame Spear/Flame Skewer ash of wars though.
@@GonzoJohn733 Yeah me too. I'm thinking about switching off of it for a change, but I used it for my entire second run of the DLC in NG+. The charged AoW damage is nasty when it connects with both the sword and the projectile
for a "things you didn't know" video, Rakshaha's armor de-buff is not focused on damage. I have tested this extensively, you don't take any "extra" damage at all... the de-buff is the same as having Shabriri's Woe talisman. Enemies instantly aggro on you and no matter what happens around the enemy mobs, they will remain focused on you... exactly like if you put Shabriri's Woe talisman on your mimic tear and the boss always stays aggro on them. You can tell this effect is active because there's the same icon under the health bar. Cheers mates! 🍻
That set also has a lot lower negations for armor of that same class. So you're taking more damage because its just less protection not that it has a debuff that you take increased damage. I saw a video of someone explaining that.
14:59 The fun thing about Wing of Astel is after you get the Nebula stagger, just keep casting Nebula instead of taking the critical. Boss is likely gonna die before it gets back up.
I'm playing through the DLC the 2nd time, and I'm loving Fire Knight Greatsword. My build in NG+ is a Faith/Quality build. With a Sacred,Fire or Flame Art, it can get some good damage, it is one of the lightest colossal swords, and the moveset is just like the Zweihander. Pretty good
Would have loved to see the Giantcrusher hammer make this list, my absolute favorite weapon in all of Elden Ring even after the DLC. But as always, great video! Cheers!
The Guts Greatsword with that Giaus ash of war builds up bleed faster than anything else ive seen, using it with a str/arc build would put it near the top of the list easily.
No Silurias tree is crazy, legit the most underrated and not talked about weapon in game where i can easily do 6-7k dmg on dlc bosses in ng+3 shits hita like a tank and the hole dmg aint even the problem cuz it gives you more physical dmg the more you put into strenght
Just a heads up on the curved sword. The Beastmans Curved Sword gets higher AR, at Lv 150, going Blood affinity while specking into Str Occ. Also, you hemerage them quicker and easier with the standing L1 (excluding the last part of the chain) along with the running L1 (which now has an armor and talisman to buff)
currently running a cheat pure dex build with the backhand blades and claws of night. the backhand blade works very well for dodging most enemies and can closing in before they can attack but multihit attacks can hit you and if the lock on is higher than your head (dragons, deathbird) the aow will miss a lot. That's where the claws come in they have higher dps and reach but you have to remember to dodge more after using the blades for a while.
@@Keysee2007 still experimenting with it but like i said for weapons backhand and claw of night. maliketh armor for fashion souls while actually being useful (but can totally run the new rakshasa set or heavier). talisman i use prosthesis + rotten wing (since they supposedly stack) and crusade. fourth if your into jump attacks that one does boost well but i don't so i use defensive/stamina ones instead. only need two blue flasks max even if you summon.
I wasn't expecting Messmer's Spear on this list, and I was right, but it's still my favorite new weapon lol Edit: Also really love Greatsword of Damnation, so gutted that it's basically worthless in PvE
Wings is such a cool sword. My level is over 200 and I put all of my points into intelligence and arcane. I use the maternal staff and I rock the wings in my right hand and use the thorn spell in my left. It is such great damage and very versatile.
Can anyone tell me why tf the death knight armor doesn't boost Gransax Bolt AOW? "Boosts ancient dragon incantations and ashes of war" / Gansax Bolt: Throw an ancient dragon lightning
cos it's not a 'capital dragon cult' skill - the death knight's armour specifically boosts abilities and spells related to godwyn's dragon cult, and the bolt of gransax is an ancient dragon weapon.
spear of the impaler is very good lol, it has one of the highest damage ash of wars in the entire game. It can easily do more than 10k damage in the full combo, and against enemies that are weak to fire, it can do 15-20k. It's just a matter of timing it right so you don't get knocked out of it
The Great Stars dual wielded are amazing. Heal with every hit, and do bleed build up. Put frost on those things and my god you got a boss killer in your hands.
Wing of estel should just be call "big thing killer". It's ash of war is multihitting..and the bigger the enemy the more hits connect..it's my go too weapon for a big chungus enemy
So I’m just a regular fella. On my Str build I was running a guts greatsword. Got into the DLC, beat the first Gaol guy and I’ve been using both his armor and weapon ever since. It’s higher AR than the guts on a pure strength build, with a good ranged ash of war. Nothing fancy but it works for me, so far.
Be cool if the smithscript talisman worked on the Lizard Greatsword, thing is a fun weapon to try out since it’s heavy shoots a project that I have yet to see if any talismans buffs the project’s damage.
If you want to spice up your Dark Moon GS build, put chill on some beast claws. The light attacks with the claws let you swing your main hand really fast after. It feels really cool to dash in with the claws and swing the buffed sword, you chill stuff pretty quick. The claws aren’t incredible, but it feels and looks very nice.
The new talisman... The Smith talisman... Specifically states that it's for thrown weapons NOT thrown attacks. So obviously the thrown Ash of war isn't going to have any buff.
I started the DLC using Blasphemous Blade and I finished the DLC by defeating Radahn with the Blasphemous Blade. When they nerfed the weapon, they went easy on it. It is still OP, and the DLC gave this weapon a buff with Talisman of the Dread. The best setup for anyone who wants a stress free way to play through Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree is to just use Blasphemous Blade with Mimic Tear.
I love the Blasphemous Blade! Took me through the base game when I got it and has helped me kill my first mini boss (Blackgaol Knight) in the DLC last night. I occasionally switch now with the Sacred Sword for the Wave Ash but still find myself going back. The trouble is, the more videos that say how great it is the more likely From are to nerf it. Still peeved at what they did to it before as I only play PvE.
I used to main the Dark Moon Greatsword and did the dual Astel and Bandits as a spell blade. I've been playing so much now I just use either the milady/rallenas twinblade with the anvil hammer as my 2nd and am more of a int/faith battle mage. Stance breaking, guard countering and even a little parrying is the way to go in the DLC so my talismans are geared towards that and sorceries became kind of secondary. I kind of like that my new weapons aren't on this list (less chance of a nerf!)
Came into the DLC with the Blasphemous Blade Build. Watches all kinds of content about most other weapons and gets excited about new builds. Finds out I am using the most busted weapon afterall haha. Need a better build around it though
I'm amazed Marius Execution sword isn't on the list. Even without full buffing it did insane damage against every boss. On'y Radhan gave me trouble becuase of how he moves but 2 solid charged WA's took him down and a sing here or there.
Thats what im saying. Running Godfrys icon Shard of alexandar Winged sword Melinas prostheses Magic cracked tear Thorny cracked tear Flame grant me strength Golden vow/commanders standard Will practically 1-2 shot every boss with the WA lol
I guess i like obscure weapons cause i love the greatsword of Solitude and the swift spear. Try them out, great ash on the sword and great unique moveset for the spear, slap ice spear on it and itll carry you through the whole dlc.
surprised not to find Eleonora's Poleblade on the list, that thing is a bleed machine, especially since it scales with arcane and it's ability does a bunch of successive hits, making it great with multi-hit talismans.
Sword of night/hand of melenia should be number 2. I feel like there slept on. I mean i didnt really care for katanas at first but those two changed my life.
Surprised more DLC weapons didn't make it. I've used the Beast Claws and thought they were pretty strong and mobile along with innate bleed they're at least good on paper, pretty sure people are sleeping on these. Also think the Light Greatswords are pretty good, haven't used them too much but they did feel good to use.
IDK but I've been going around with Dragon-hunter's Great Katana with the Backhand Sword as backup for those fights that I need speed more than strength. No one talks about the Dragon-hunter Katana.
Its pretty much the weakest out of the 3 great katana. Normal Great katana has free AoW and scaling option, Rakshasa's Weed cutter is strong for trading hits
You forgot malekiths Blade, this weapon has insane damage like the talent or bloodhound fang, still one of the best weapons all day with amazing ash of war
What about the Ancient Meteoric ore greatsword? That thing carried me up to Consort Radahn. Before I was maining Blasphemous blade but once i used Ancient meteoric greatsword i never looked back.
God Slayer greatsword is awesome as well after they fix it. Full combo on base new game dlc max scadutre seeds is about 9k damage with a few talismans and fire physic tear.
bruh why they NERF EVERyTHING, can't they let us have fun... If we wanna play with busted weapon they should let us have fun, there is enough regular weapon if we want to have a harder game. i'm still mad they nerfed the range of the rivers of blood 😆
Well i used rivers of blood complementary with my impenetrable thorns setup and it was still devastating so i dont think it made that much of a difference i didnt know it was nerfed and didnt even felt like it.
@@IsraTheBlack there are so many good weapons that a lot on this list are interchangeable with others not on the list. Although, as good as those weapons you mentioned are, it’s a stretch to put them in the top 15 imo
@@ChapHammersmith The weapons I mentioned are best in class for their weapon types. So much better than most he mentioned. The fact the backhand blades is so low on his list already says enough.
@@IsraTheBlack nah, Weed Cutter is not that strong of a AoW. The normal Great katana is much better since you can choose a list of AoW suitable for PvP/PvE and adjusting weapon scale
@@hoanghainguyen8347 It's not about weed cutter, the Raksasha is the only great katana that has hyper armor on all attacks regardless of its ash of war. It's not a bug because this is mentioned on its description. Weed Cutter let me solo Radahn but you need to build for it in order to spam it and it's great in pvp.
Finally I love this I’ve been trying to find a general top 10 video and I can’t cause it’s just a bunch of shadow of the red tree builds also not saying I don’t like the shadow of the red tree vids I absolutely love them too but this is great.
Is there a reason why double gargoyles twinblade with crag blade (bleed) is not on the list? Imo the dmg/ bleed potential with that build is higher than 2 scavenger curved swords.
the nagikiba with the new carion sword ashof war cant remember what it is called....smacks, its a stun machine hits for so much poise if you land both shots
On my second playthrough og the dlc I was using Blasphemous blade and sacred relic sword, the sacred relic swords weapon art makes the dlc a joke, it oneshots most enemies and at most i need two casts, the range is so good, try it out and swap weapon when doing a boss
Why does no one talk about Marais executioner sword? Godfrey icon, millicent's prosthesis, rotten wing talisman, shard of Alexander, golden vow and flame Grant me strength, thorny and bloodsucking cracked tears. Literally 1 to 2 shots every boss.
I have a weird build, this is my first souls game so I wanted to incorporate magic and I made a build around the sword of night and flame, but if anyone has any other great intel&faith weapons lmk
I feel like RoB should be on the list. Its not even remotely as good as it was, but its still a great weapon and super easy to use due to its ash of war, which has good reach, high dmg and great bleed buildup. It defo made the DLC significantly easier for me.
Blasphemous Blade nerf? Talisman of the Dread says hi. There are a lot of fights in the rain or in a puddle of water, it didn't felt like damage was affected in any way.
I dont get how people cant talk about the backhand blade the whole day while they did ignore there is a weapon called bloody helix and it does the same... Just a bit better. More dmg. More poise dmg. More i frames. More bleed staking and faster animation. Just bc its new doesnt mean its best
I am so sick and tired of them nerfing everything that is ever good and then everyone is like O it got nerfed but it is still good no it is not it was only good pre nerf. Stop settling for second best.

Bandits curved sword is rly good at high stats
Well actually probably like 60% or the game is actually harder on NG since you don't have super upgraded weapons and equipment
That's where quality weapons start to shine, or Sword of Night and Flame + Rellana's Twin Blades due to high stat requirements.
I play ng+ 7, Finger Print shield with no skill ash is the best weapon in the game.
Sword of Night and Flame’s ash if war is a ‘stance’ it’s buffable with the new Rellana’s Talisman making it even stronger when ‘charged’.
Awww my comment was taken 😂😂🍻
Is there any indication of what a "stance" is? Obviously certain ashes of war from the DLC but if SoNaF is a stance what else is?
I too used Blasphemous Blade for the DLC. Very strong. Can't imagine how strong it was before the nerf. Also, word for advice for the final boss - combining it with a shield is very strong.

surprised not to find Eleonora's Poleblade on the list, that thing is a bleed machine, especially since it scales with arcane and it's ability does a bunch of successive hits, making it great with multi-hit talismans.
Interrupted to easily and relayed to much on bleed damage
This channel put me on to backhand blades blindspot dodge cheese and I have been destroying the dlc this time around with int/dex cold infused.
I feel like the godlslayers greatsword deserves a spot in this list for it's raw damage and poise damage output, despite how slow it is
we need more videos thanks bro
Sword of night/hand of melenia should be number 2. I feel like there slept on. I mean i didnt really care for katanas at first but those two changed my life.
no head ahead
Dog?
O, you don't have the right
Offer rump
Time for dung
Behold, Plump sort!
Surprised more DLC weapons didn't make it. I've used the Beast Claws and thought they were pretty strong and mobile along with innate bleed they're at least good on paper, pretty sure people are sleeping on these. Also think the Light Greatswords are pretty good, haven't used them too much but they did feel good to use.
I need more details on Weapon 12, 10 and 2.
Could anyone suggest me please?
Is there an updated version of build weapon 3?? likea video breakdown i would love to do this build
Milady is amazing 😂
currently power stancing the milady on my ng+ run and its fun af
@@mihawk2491 ikr, it's heavy attack is quick asf I also put Wing Stance aow on mine
@@mihawk2491 Power stancing and duel shield with it are my go to, along with catalysts of course.
The bug wing curved sword. Its been carrying me through the dlc.
IDK but I've been going around with Dragon-hunter's Great Katana with the Backhand Sword as backup for those fights that I need speed more than strength. No one talks about the Dragon-hunter Katana.
Its pretty much the weakest out of the 3 great katana. Normal Great katana has free AoW and scaling option, Rakshasa's Weed cutter is strong for trading hits
The ancient meteoric ore greatsword needs more love. Trust me.
Took it at the the very beginning (started a new game) and I just destroy everything with it.
@@nickruahl600 it just knocks everything down. You don’t need bleed if your enemy can’t stand up.
Yea this thing has turned the DLC into ez mode for me after I struggled with some other playstyles
Guardian Swordspear is one of my favorites
You forgot malekiths Blade, this weapon has insane damage like the talent or bloodhound fang, still one of the best weapons all day with amazing ash of war
Savage claws are incredible just wiping enemies out bro😂
What about the Ancient Meteoric ore greatsword? That thing carried me up to Consort Radahn. Before I was maining Blasphemous blade but once i used Ancient meteoric greatsword i never looked back.
God Slayer greatsword is awesome as well after they fix it.
Full combo on base new game dlc max scadutre seeds is about 9k damage with a few talismans and fire physic tear.
4:00 is that demon dance mhw?
bruh why they NERF EVERyTHING, can't they let us have fun... If we wanna play with busted weapon they should let us have fun, there is enough regular weapon if we want to have a harder game. i'm still mad they nerfed the range of the rivers of blood 😆
Because of pvp. And having too many boss melting weapons is anti Fromsoftware.
Well i used rivers of blood complementary with my impenetrable thorns setup and it was still devastating so i dont think it made that much of a difference i didnt know it was nerfed and didnt even felt like it.
This! And also ya. Pvp. Ugh
I mean RoB got nerfed like 5 times for pve alone and its still amazing. But you need some balance
You have to have hyper armor or super fast AOW if you want to use it in the DLC because the punish windows are way too short
The Godslayer Greatsword is so underrated
I used a Mohg build and basically went through the game defeating every boss in under 10 try’s, this was prepatched bosses.
Im surprised Marika's hammer never makes it on these top weapons list. Other than 3-4 bosses it absolutely shreds vs some of these on the list
And lorewise it shattered the Elden Ring. Definitely underrated
Is the Fire Knight's greatsword build not on the top 15? I tried it and it felt very close to the Bloodfiend damage.
The disrespect to malakeiths great sword is outrageous I beat every boss in the dlc with it
Not even mentioned the blacksteel twinblade or Rakshasha's Great katana.....
@@IsraTheBlack there are so many good weapons that a lot on this list are interchangeable with others not on the list. Although, as good as those weapons you mentioned are, it’s a stretch to put them in the top 15 imo
@@ChapHammersmith The weapons I mentioned are best in class for their weapon types. So much better than most he mentioned. The fact the backhand blades is so low on his list already says enough.
@@IsraTheBlack nah, Weed Cutter is not that strong of a AoW. The normal Great katana is much better since you can choose a list of AoW suitable for PvP/PvE and adjusting weapon scale
@@hoanghainguyen8347 It's not about weed cutter, the Raksasha is the only great katana that has hyper armor on all attacks regardless of its ash of war. It's not a bug because this is mentioned on its description. Weed Cutter let me solo Radahn but you need to build for it in order to spam it and it's great in pvp.
Finally I love this I’ve been trying to find a general top 10 video and I can’t cause it’s just a bunch of shadow of the red tree builds also not saying I don’t like the shadow of the red tree vids I absolutely love them too but this is great.
red ?
lmao i couldn’t help it you made that mistake TWICE
Is there a reason why double gargoyles twinblade with crag blade (bleed) is not on the list? Imo the dmg/ bleed potential with that build is higher than 2 scavenger curved swords.
backhand makes me feel like an anime character n i love it
the nagikiba with the new carion sword ashof war cant remember what it is called....smacks, its a stun machine hits for so much poise if you land both shots
Ghostflame ignition is just nuts it one shoted the first 2 bosses of the dlc without buffs or prep it damage is just stupid
No marias executioner? It absolutely destroys everything with a full build for it
On my second playthrough og the dlc I was using Blasphemous blade and sacred relic sword, the sacred relic swords weapon art makes the dlc a joke, it oneshots most enemies and at most i need two casts, the range is so good, try it out and swap weapon when doing a boss
Why does no one talk about Marais executioner sword?
Godfrey icon, millicent's prosthesis, rotten wing talisman, shard of Alexander, golden vow and flame Grant me strength, thorny and bloodsucking cracked tears. Literally 1 to 2 shots every boss.
Blasphemous blade for the win! 😊
I have a weird build, this is my first souls game so I wanted to incorporate magic and I made a build around the sword of night and flame, but if anyone has any other great intel&faith weapons lmk
It's pretty giga chad to upgrade vigor to Max first
Oh man. My first ever run was blasphemous blade. My second was cold scavenger/blood bandits. I’ve never felt so validated. Thanks dad.
Easy mode on 2 playthroughs is crazy
@@gamersreactions9267 🤷🏼♂️
how do you guys rank moonveil in this dlc?
I feel like RoB should be on the list. Its not even remotely as good as it was, but its still a great weapon and super easy to use due to its ash of war, which has good reach, high dmg and great bleed buildup. It defo made the DLC significantly easier for me.
For the sword of night and flame, what armor set did you use and what was the staff called
i still wish that the isaac synergy lab series would come back
It'd be nice if there was some quick snapshots of the build info just to have that available for us newbies. :(
Just a you tube search away with the weapon names.
Bro please put the weapons names on the timeline NOT weapon 1, 2, 3 etc.
Blasphemous Blade nerf? Talisman of the Dread says hi. There are a lot of fights in the rain or in a puddle of water, it didn't felt like damage was affected in any way.
I'm stealing that build lol blasphemous blade and fireball give off a very Escenor type vibe.😂
I dont get how people cant talk about the backhand blade the whole day while they did ignore there is a weapon called bloody helix and it does the same... Just a bit better. More dmg. More poise dmg. More i frames. More bleed staking and faster animation. Just bc its new doesnt mean its best
Showing how good the weapon is on crucible knight and divine beast doesn't show anything, you can use a flute on them
I am so sick and tired of them nerfing everything that is ever good and then everyone is like O it got nerfed but it is still good no it is not it was only good pre nerf. Stop settling for second best.
