It’s crazy how the dismounter is such a middle of the road weapon in PvE, but an absolute beast in PvP. The running attacks have some of the best phantom range in the game.

My first game was DS3, and I still remember my version of stupid confusion: I didn't realize Estus recovered at bonfires until after the first boss, so I refused to heal even once against him. Which when you consider that the DS3 tutorial boss is the hardest in the franchise... Well, wasn't the most fun part of the game.

Pretty much. But when you think about it, that's a smart development decision on fromsofts part to de-emphasise significance of weapon type and to make sure any and all of them are theoretically viable. How many games do you know that have a library of like, 50+ weapons but realistically the meta is maybe 4 or 5 of them are considered viable and the rest are actually useless? Heaps. But fromsoft games usually you can actually legitimately run any weapon and still stand a chance, and I think that helps them greatly in terms of replayability.

I actually did use the Dismounter for a bit on my first run before getting the Knight's Greatsword from a Godrick soldier at some point. It's decent for early game, but Bloodhound's Fang exists, so it has no purpose in most runs.

Contrary to reality, I actually do use soap a fair bit in ER - for anyone that hasnt worked out what it does, it just cleans you (shocker, I know) but I've found it's come in handy many times to help me conserve boluses. Sometimes you'll be poisoned or afflicted with rot, for example, and you use a bolus but after if clears the bar the build-up is so significant that you end up needing to use a second bolus because you either get re poisoned or it's so close that you may as well. But if you have soap handy and use it after you exit the suspicious liquid, it halts any further build-up meaning you only ever need at most 1 bolus to clear your affliction. Plus it's so cheap and easy to make, I always make sure I have some on hand.

My most recent playthrough I duel wielded great swords infused with different status effects depending on the enemies I was facing- the Flamberge was one of them, Claymore was the other- I don't think I'd consider the Flamberge a rarely used sword. That playthrough was tied as my favorite- I don't know that I'll ever enjoy anything more than the Strength Colossal Greatsword Build- it's so much fun!

I used the slender sword for a long time during a role-play run with one of my friends. I played as a merchant that sometimes helped him or challenged him to make him better. It is a pretty cool weapon to use, also it's quite a drop

Soap is actually really useful for going through poison and rot areas where you have to fight enemies. Just roll to your heart's content and then soap up after. Also great for cosplay builds.

Fighting Morgott as Omen Killer is just too good

I’ve honestly been meaning to use the regular pickaxe on one of my runs, greathammers are amazing, and I imagine with the piercing damage it’s a monster against a lot of bosses

The slender sword takes infusions really well. The only other weapon that does that well with infusions is the star mace.

so for my first elden ring run, I picked Wretch for the funny (this was day 1 release of elden ring) and bonked the shit out of Margit and Godrick before finally switching weapons to something else. I did end up retiring that save file because I allocated 49 level ups in the wrong place, did not have a larval tear, nor renalla rebirths unlocked. My other save is currently on NG+4

Noble's Slender Sword is actually part of the Paladin (and related) early game builds on the Wiki.

Honestly I’m just always happy to see people use some of the farmable weapons that most people never bother with.

I love the dismounter, fine range for greatsword, low weight for weapon class, grease and infuse are available, good poise damage, the only bad thing about the weapon is scaling, but with medium roll available with my 51 poise and a 100phys shield, having the reduced weight is worth the below par damage.

"...like an a thousand degree knife." really tripped me up.

I went through my first playthrough with the Dismounter the whole way. It is very much a there weapon that gets overshadowed by the other options after a while.

at the start of my xbox playthrough i used the skeleton summons alot bc they are like the normal skeletons where they need to get hit after dying and bosses dont target them after they die

The dismounter is really good man

I’ve been using two max level slender swords, one with frost and one with fire, on a level 180 quality build. You’d be shocked how effective they are. The L1 combo is beautiful.

The joke about the bandit was funny asf
