The Greatsword of Solitude was my MVP weapon for the DLC. A-scaling in Strength, the old reliable greatsword moveset, a really good AoW that obliterates enemy poise, and a stupid high physical block rate perfect for guard counters.

@marceloxaustivo784 Its great block rate makes it a good match for a curved sword talisman/two handed weapon talisman combo with the deflecting hardtear because the greatsword guard counter is really fast and lets you duck horizontal attacks from bigger enemies. You can weave multiple guard counters on certain combo strings from the DLC's final boss without getting hit once if you learn the proper timing. The AoW doesn't synergize with a lot of talismans outside of SoA, that's true, but the high poise damage it deals + the fact that it's a ranged attack with an optional gap-closer follow-up means it's a reliable source of good damage even when you aren't built specifically for the AoW.

Spear of the Impaler is good for the base game but the dlc bosses will delete you before you can even do the first attack of AOW on the spear of the impaler.

And the Ash is the perfect complement to the Colossal moveset. The fact that you can do just the thrust without the explosion is amazing.

So, If your colossal weapon looks/acts like a hammer, chances are its one of the higher poise damaging ones, but if it looks like an axe, itll be one of the lower poise damage ones.

Actually, the "Star-lined Sword" Katana in PVE is actually pretty darn amazing and should have been on the list. It has a standard Katana moveset, so that includes poking, and the ash of war is more than just flashy. It staggers almost any enemy outside of some big ones. The flame knights in Shadow Keep? Get staggered on EVERY slash of the combo, and it is quick enough to get a second combo in before they can act, usually killing them through bleed proc. It is quite an amazing weapon I must say :)

If you have enough levels to get a ton of int and faith then not only does Smithscript cirque get more elemental damage as the basic backhand blade, but it gets ALOT more overall damage. With 80 int and faith, 40 dex and 16str a sacred ash of war (blindspot can be sacred) you get 859AP without any talisman or DLC bonuses while the backhand blade gets only 681. That is a difference of 178. The difference with magic is even bigger with Smithscript cirque getting 867Smithscript cirque that is 188AP more than the regular, but with magic you don't get access to blindspot so sacred is a far better option even with a little less AP. So the Smithscript has far more damage scaling if you have the levels for it.

I have 54 STR and infuse my Fire Knight Greatsword with Fire...and I had no idea that with this infusion, the damage is increased while two-handed with both physical and fire damage. So, it is not only viable for Faith builds with Flame Art.

Really appreciate this no spoiler content. I basically had a good little spurt of the DLC to start and then went on holiday. Beat the first area and a bonus place with a friend Igon cheering me on, and trying to keep in the dark as much as possible but can't resist watching all the new stuff get played with. I've really loved the new stuff I got to play with already. Milady, backhanders, and great katana have all been really good. Also tried the swift spear thingie but that did seem a little lackluster and didn't see much use, and same for the dragon katana unfortunately. It didn't even feel particularly strong against dragons, which was disappointing. I think I picked up the poison hand so I made a mental note to put that to use with my dex/arc build as a boss poisoner, kinda just glossed over it when I found it. I've been a little disappointed with the lack of proper new pure strength weapons for when I start on the DLC with my bonk guy, but seems like there are some cool somber stuff I can make work with some minimal faith investment. Looking forward to that as well now.

Great content man, appreciate the hard work

I think the current fire knights greatsword is underappreciated since it has a damage level higher than the godslayer greatsword, it can interrupt some additional enemies and true combos more enemies.

I know Miyazaki and his team are HORRIBLE when it comes to actually balancing their game (and being the biggest Strg suck ups, ever), but jesus christ, dude. Why do they have to make so many weapons literally unusable, what kind of backwards logic is that.....

Queelign's Greatsword is another infusible Great Spear (naming is weird I know). And I've found it even better than the mesmer soldier spear. Split damage with fire but makes for a great strength faith or quality weapon with an amazing moveset. Also gets flame skewer for that fire weapon buff.

You were right:(

Thanks, love your weapon videos dude.

Backhand blades are definitely the most fun to use for me, in the base game I was always one to use only greatswords and the like but having a light weapon with such a swift moveset that does as much damage is so fun

played the whole dlc with the great katana w/ cragblade. it just fucks

Love your ranking lists, they're all well reasoned out lists

Subbed 😂😂 that “I noticed” got me

Been waiting for this since release 🙏

Truth be told the strongest weapon in the game is the motivation that Igon and Ansbach gave you

So... the real question. Is there anything better than the blasphemous blade?

The Bloodfiends Arm is what pushed me past Promised Consort Radahn. I didn't think anything about it when I found it, but after testing it out it really is almost unmatched for bleed build up.

i used the poison hands for the 1st half of the dlc and fell in love i recommend running multi hit talismans, twiggy tear and stonebarb tear

0:50 good one

the smithscript shield is also really good because it natually headshots many different enemies, doing WAY more damage

Ur subscriber joke deff earned a sub, lol - great content also. Ur channels typically on point 🤙

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS HECK YEAH

I'm surprised you didn't put the thrusting shields on here, they are a bit boring but seem extremely strong in pve.

They don't really hold a candle to the Fingerprint Shield + Antspur Rapier setup, but they're okay.

@@drudge5268 Carian Thrusting Shield(as of now) is insanely strong and takes ZERO stamina damage while shieldpoking. But this is likely a bug. It also has very strong guard counters that block through the animation.

Maternal Staff when paired with Staff of the Guilty and Impenetrable Thorns while going full arcane is absolutely disgusting. Rivals the perfume bottles and the bloodfiends arm. I four shot Radahn on NG+ with it.

Im pretty sure regular one. I had the build on ng plus 3 and was only able to 9 shot him still crazy good damage but not 4 shot. I might have done somthing wrong tho​@@pedropaulo13220

Yes, but this is the case with albinauric staff as well, and is more a facet of Impenetrable Thorns being broken than it is the staff itself. I understand why Youwy left it out.

Quality Milady with Wing Stance hits like a truck, definitely my favourite weapon of the DLC... All Light Greatswords have a special place in my heart!

Gotta say as a perfume enjoyer myself, rolling sparks is only KINDA broken. Its absolutely broken, but only specifically when you free aim it at the ground or other terrain object, which can sometimes be tricky to land against certain enemies, of course when it does land perfectly it destroys everything nearby, but i really hope they take a nuanced approach to balancing it rather than just tanking the damage into the ground and washing their hands of it..

Bear Claws should be way lower on this list for a few reasons. 1.) Can't change the Ash of War or scaling. 2.) Doest get an A in strength at upgrade lvl 10. Nor does it have a arcane scaling. 3.) It's 1 of 2 weapons in this class and the other can do everything thing I just mentioned 4.) The Ash of War is very buggy. Some times it will dump loads of dmg, and other times it will only partially hit. 5.) Let's be honest you are only going to be using the weapon with the bear armor. So build diversity with this weapon goes nowhere P.S. the Dragon Slayer Katana really should have had arcane scaling to match with Dragon communion builds since it does get the redish communion effect.

I really wish it had an arcane scaling, they could just lower the bleed and give it a C in arcane. It's not like it would be overpowered

milady with wing stance is so fluid and beautiful, amazing weapon!!!

lmao that joke about subbing was so good that I did sub

wrong.

Leda's sword ash of war also removes buffs, debuffs, and status on enemies if hit with any of the projectiles as well, making it a better version of law of regression only applied to enemies instead of both you and the enemy. I believe that's why the damage isn't as high as most would like.

oh wow this vid really popped off. nice one youwy

I'd like to take the time to appreciate youwy for making these videos for us appreciate you youwy

Thanks for another banger video

A small note on the Captain America shield. It also has a hitbox on your throwing arm at point blank range, so it can do even more damage. Not that you would usually want to use it at melee range, but it's insane how much damage it does for only 3 FP.

I'm shocked Rashasa's Great Katana didnt make the list and the other 2 did lol.

Wooo! Death Knight’s Longhaft Axe #5! Been loving using that weapon in my Death Knight (Dragon Cult) build. Scales better than I thought with faith too. This plus Knight’s Lightning Spear is *chef’s kiss*, love it

The: I´m just Kidding, earned you a well deserved subscription hahaha

the beast claw skill is great, specially with bloodflame blade, just so many hits and ground covered

Great content, getting into elden ring. Very helpful

I LOVE the Falx. The weapon art is just fun to use

Neat video! You bring up some points that are having me rethink my opinion on a few weapons. A few notes of my own: I've seen a lot of people saying the fire knight's greatsword is bugged, and I assume they're referring to the true combo. Assuming it's not a mistake that it has the Godslayer Greatsword's R1's, that's not a bug -- you can combo with the godslayer sword as well. Regarding normal claw vs beast/bear claw DPS -- one thing you don't bring up is boss dependent, but can lead to better uptime doing damage, is the fact that the moveset itself, along with lunging, also brings your hurtboxes low, letting you go under a decent number of attacks and continue doing damage. I think there's a few weapons I'd have bumped off of this list to include one of the smithscript weapons, such as the smithscript hammer. Those have insane scaling with int or faith due to innate physical scaling with those attributes, so you get to double-dip on damage increases per point of int or faith once infused, and having a throwing attack is great in the open world. You can repeatedly knock enemies on their ass in the open world, or even one-shot them, with a charged heavy throw of the hammer. The downside is you'll probably want to swap talismans out between open world and bosses, as against bosses you can't rely a ton on the throw, but with the massive AR, that's not a big issue.

btw that intro of you saying to sub and then "just kidding" actually got me to sub so

You know what king, you grew on me, that 11% sub joke was pretty good, take my sub.

Death Knight’s Longhaft Axe is my baby. The weapon ash you can unlock and charge in any direction, then reposition or lock on in air to attack, it rules.

I've been waiting for this one 🔥
