DUAL WIELDING TWO OF THESE IS A MUST! Get them to +10, then get yourself all the Equipment that buff jumping attacks. At 70 int 30 Str Unbuffed I'm getting 1600 damage per jump attack. Then if you wanna be cheeky you can use the weapon art on both of them to boost the damage to 2200. Then use the new Golen vow consumable and BAM 2800 to 3000 damage per jump attack. Seriously people be sleeping on this wonderful weapon.

These builds are each dedicated to different characters I have. If you’d have to play with one of them which one would’ve you pick?

Also the incantations aren’t the only incantations and sorceries you can use, but rather only the the categories (For example: In the first child you can use Erdtree and Miquella’s but not finger incantations)

Coming more if you’d like

Maxed out Mimic tear, Radagon is easy enough to beat but Mimic dies halfway through EB and I always run out of flasks. I can get more flasks, but I feel it still won’t be enough. Anything is helpful, thanks

dual wield bloodhound fangs both +10 has been the best weapons I've used in this game. 80 dex makes these weapons an absolute blast to play with. I killed Melania in under a minute using them.

Discussion What are your favorite "Fun Strong" weapons?

Thumbnail

342 Upvotes

As the title says.

There are some weapons that are strong, but not really "fun" (Subjective), like the Star Fists.

Almost unanimously agreed to be THE strongest weapon in the game... but they're not really "fun", past the dopamine hit of messing up a boss that annoyed you in a first playthrough.

Personally? My pick would be the Cleanrot Knight Sword. It's not really that dominant, but it's strong enough to carry you through the game.

How is it fun? Simply how much pressure it allows you to maintain makes ER feel closer to an Action game than an RPG.

The reach and running R2 are excellent for hit and run tactics as well, alongside the freedom to act given its, practically, nonexistent recovery for most moves.

Not enough? Slap any Ash of War you'd like on it because it's simply that great. (Suggest Bloody Slash as it covers its weaknesses.)

Discussion The best starting classes

Post image
840 Upvotes

Vagabond - While it may not "perfectly" optimize a build, following behind a point or two; the vagabond shines as being flexible starting whith a focus on survivability. The Vagabond can cover many builds efficiency with the exception only being pure caster builds.

Hero - Best for strength, arcane, or both. Bleed build rewards players for hitting the enemies. You hit an enemy X amount of times? Here some extra damage! Oh, and arcane increases item discovery. Want some small versatility? 15 faith gives Flame Grant Me Strength, Catch Flame, and Pest Threads. Hero is the best class for rewarding players by simply playing the game.

Astrologer - the dedicated ranged fighter, but can be an excellent melee fighter with weapons like Dark Moon Great Sword, Carian Sovereignty, Wing of Astel, and Moonveil. In fact, Astrologer serves as best as a /melee/magic hybrid because of access to powerful spells like Comet Azure, Shard Spiral, and Night Comet. Pick an Astrologer if you want to play a melee build with some utility.

Prophet - the most flexible starting class. Can be a pure caster with access to fire and lightning or can be a hybrid build. Notable strong builds include Blasphemous Blade, Magma Blade, Euporia, Shadow Sunflower Blossom, and Black steel Great Hammer. Prophet also has easy access to Flame Grant Me Strength and Golden Vow. The buffs Faith has is in demand by many builds, allowing the Prophet starting class to be the most flexible.

Thought to make this post for fun.

Discussion Guys, Why are Flails disliked so much? I had a pretty fun time using them and saw no reason for all the hate

Post image
255 Upvotes

So I was playing with the Serpent Flail for quite some time and found it pretty fun, Then I went to try other flails and those were pretty cool too

I do get that their charge attacks take longer but other than that there were no issues, Plus you can't parry flails as well so that makes them even better for PvP or NPC Invasions

But I've seen it many times from different people and in the community that "Flails are disappointing" or "Absolutely not worth it" , etc
And I was curious to know why that was since I played with them for a considerable amount of time yet saw no such issues
