Hey sorry to bug you but is there anyway you can record a quick video of you just scrolling through your ashes of war page? The wiki doesn't have them in the same order as the game and I wanna get all the ashes. It's going to be a massive headache to try and figure out which ones I'm missing. If I can just see the in game page in default order it would make it trivial. Thanks man

Small Note: the Ash version of Glintstone Pebble has very short range, but very high poise impact. Additionally, you can follow with a heavy attcack to do a very fast lunging thrust that has boosted Magic damage and very high poise and stance-break damage, and it can roll-catch. The short range is actually the range of the thrust: if the pebble hits, the thrust will too.

I love using Ashes that leave a lingering affinity effect on a weapon, because I can still use... Let's say a Mace with Heavy affinity, but also put things like Poison, Frost, and Fire on to match the situation. Granted, items can do that too, but using Ashes that way gives me a feeling of versitility.

Same! My ‘Ruinous Swordsman’ strength/faith (fire) build I use Craigblade to cover my flame art infused colossal great sword with Rock (Bonus damage). Using the fire scorpion charm talisman + fire grant me strength incantation I further boost the fire damage making my AP 1383 at lvl 150. Looks badass and hits like a truck.

Note that Ashes of War like Sacred Blade and Chilling Mist enchant your weapon for a small bit afterwards. I know for Sacred Blade it's about 20 seconds. This is great as you get some flat bonus damage and can enchant a weapon without the spell. Also, Sacred Blade is fantastic for undead, even without a Faith build.

I started as Wretch (because I thought I got gud with DS 1-3) and I was a little frustrated with the lack of build variety in the first 5 hours, but then I noticed the weapon play got really interesting. The Ashes of War feel like spells. The turtle shell shield has a spell that will block one big hit. You can get the Blood Spray Ash from killing a knight which is sick. I beat Margit with a Morning Star with bleed resin by using Wild Swing to deal huge damage by tanking through his attacks. I'm sad I only found one sorcery I can use but the basic fighting is just so *good* that I'm hahing a blast anyway. Make sure you find the flail too.

@@chaotickreg7024 I don't think Turtle Shell's Barricade skill only blocks one hit It's more like add 35 to the shield's base guard boost stat for 30(?) seconds Guard boost affects the amount of stamina drain when blocking.

Bow ashes are a fundamental level of disappointment. They don't let you alter the bows affinity, and multiple are locked in a way where they don't really serve a purpose. Barrage is locked to light bows, most of which already have barrage on them or are unique and unalterable. Through and through is locked to greatbows /all of which/ have that skill except Radahn's and that one cannot be altered due to being boss weapon, rendering the ash completely useless.

loving the content, will you be doing a video on the unique ashes of war.

thank you, very helpfull video

This is the 3rd full length showcase I’ve watched and the first time I’ve seen him actually show a counter ability was with Raptors of the Mist lmao

I still stick with my guns that once you get better at the game Raptor of the Mists is one of the best ashes to have on hand. Raptor puts you to a low stance and only consumes FP if you're hit with a weapon. Due to FROM's hitbox porn, some attacks just outright miss you. From my experience, you also have hyper armor in the air. You then have a few follow-up options: Crouch > Hit > Air R1 or Plunging Attack or Air L1 (possibly even Air Dragon) Crouch > Miss > Rising R1 or Rising L1 It's basically a soft stance bar that guarantees a nice amount of I-Frames and extends your own potentials quite a bit.

Golden Land and Flame strike have a follow attack if you make a heavy attack while using, Flame strike gives after that a Fire damage buff for the weapon ^^

Hoarfrost is the my personal favourite. Quick execution and covers wide area

LMAO the ram sound on lightning ram, didnt expect that haha

3:24 this would be great for a pontiff Sulyvahn build (if this ash of war works with straightswords)

Him putting bow ashes at the start makes me wanna hug.

Headset straight from “Garden of Eyes” enemies in Bloodborne I see

This will give people some good pvp or montage ideas.

The biggest effect this game had on me has to do with watching videos with no commentary. I usually bail on no commentary. Now I prefer no commentary you don’t have to listen to the opinion that might influence what I’m using!! This is awesome straight facts!!🇨🇦

With wild strikes you can press light or heavy and do a finisher. I’ve found light finisher let’s you start a light chain and heavy finisher has great damage and poise damage. I love using this ash of war on the mace with cold affinity for bleed and frostbite.

Hottake: the normal waterfowl dance should have been an ash of war and the scarlet rot version should be on hand of malania.

Thank you SO much. I'm translating all of the ashes of war for a table top rpg campaign and this is incredibly useful.

Actually, compared to the total number of weapons, very few have unique skills. And many of the Ashes of war are either just strong or provide great utility - on top of being interchangeable. And except for a few special cases, most unique skills have either an equivalent or a close approximation Ash of War variant.
