- The Erdtree Greatshield has been one of the most useful tools in the game for me, when it comes to dealing with constant sorcery pressure.

Miyazaki made magic more viable than ever, but he also made the anti-mage shield just as practical.
Neat.
Magic is not even good in pvp it's so terrible
@@HDGaminTutorials I'm playing pure mage with carian slicer/piercer as my close range options with glint blade, fast shard, and comet as my long range changing out other spells as necessary testing them out and it feels very strong in duels and invasions.
Played every souls game beaten every souls game if you are bad at the game then yeah your gonna have tough time against magic but all sorcerys are super simple to dodge carian slicer is the best sorcery
@@HDGaminTutorials you know what else is super simple to dodge if your good? Literally everything.
@@HDGaminTutorials Magic is "hit or miss" in PvP. Sometimes, I can basically one shot people with it, and other times, they just endlessly dodge and I can do nothing about it. Against good players, magic is an "afterthought". Essentially something you use "as opportunity arises". Against weaker players, it is dangerous as crap. Especially with very high casting speed on the lower end spells. At those points, I can basically machinegun projectiles at you and if your Stamina isn't enough, I'll effectively burn you down and keep you from even dodging. It's just a matter of how many points you've thrown into it or not. If you have a very good amount of points into it, I can't do much except swap to a sword. If you don't have a lot of points into it, then prepare to be peppered with machinegun blasts of basic spells until you die.
Also, terrain plays a lot into how effective magic will ever be. Wide open areas make magic less useful. Tight corridors and small rooms make it EXCEPTIONALLY viable.
0:45 as a fellow bubble blower, this does fill me with shear horror.
Man just wanted to toot đ·
All bubble blowing babies will be beaten senselessly by all able bodied patrons in the bar

Can the tree shield deflect it's own laser? Can two people play laser ping pong with two tree shields?
Yooo someone test this
yes
Iâm not sure you can
Need to throw Carian Retaliation in there as well. Carian Retaliation can probably parry itself, and The Erdtree Greatshield can probably reflect Carian Retaliation. But can Carian Retaliation parry Golden Retaliation?
@@wilhelmturner2225 carian retaliation is three projectiles right? Would that affect the shields ability to parry it?
as a wizard I like spell parries, distinguishes good casters from the bad
powerful spell spamming for example. you really need a good sense of timing and have to know which spell would shine in which situation.
Perfect example in that first invasion. Dude just threw out a comet when Chase was standing still right infront of him baiting a spell
exactly. If a mage sees someone take out a spell-parrying shield, then watches them parry a spell back at them, then continues to mindless spam their spells anyway, they probably deserve the counter-nuke coming their way.
That's why I always have Ambush shard attuned.
Never know when you need to fight a shield user.
@@redgeoblaze3752 exactly I do that as well
"Imagine not being a strength build" Well Chase, I am not a strength build. My current build is a vitality build with high endurance because I like bein' CHONKY...
The must fun way Iâve found to play. Boiled crab plus Lionel armor. Just get rag-dolled all over the boss room and still win.
Laval tears lol
Chonky tarnished elden Lord for the win!!!!!!!!
And the maiden's go wild.
@@timmoody5466 Here come the pretentious players. Ew
@@timmoody5466 what does this even mean? Ofcourse larval tears are decent. They respec your character. That's objectively "decent" for its purpose.
I love the hesitation after their first spell is deflected. Rethinking their decisions lol
give them the PTSD of fighting tree sentinel once again
15:50 I love it!!! the unfiltered reaction of getting jumpscared by a moonveiler
That was Hella funny
First invasion was so no brainer on the mageâs end. He was watching his spells get actively deflected back as missiles and he still chose to continue spamming spells, proof that even post patch the shield is good, if not meta
It's more of an Idiot counter than a meta pick.
No good player sees erdtree shield and keeps spamming spells that hit from the front.
@@SuperCatacata and most players aren't good. Funny how that works
Exactly why I practiced either my melee option, so I can be a combatant even when someone deflects my spells.
lmao that shield is meta it works against everything except some spells and incantations
@@nin2494 âmost players arenât goodâ -people who think they are good
15:45 Chase has Moonveil induced PTSD lmao. He hears the sound of moonveil in his dreams and jumps from the bed.
The Erdtree Greatshield is every strength buildâs wet dream. Finally a way to reliably deal with magic casters who keep their distance. I was loving invading with it at 180. So much magic.
@Killahkami i do pvp at 200 and its fine. of course at 150 there is more people but 200 is still good !
@@captainsix9590 Really? Man dont tempt me to go to 200 đ©
@@EstrelSidus Well right now the Game has tons of players so i don't know if 200 Will have so many players in the future but rn i'm enjoying it
@@EstrelSidus dont do it. Whats even the point in pvp anymore when all stats are the same.
@@milten76 Yeah thats what I was thinking. 150 is a good point where I see a wide variety of builds
Oh man since i started testing spell parrying with the carrian riposte parry ash and this shield itâs become my favorite thing. Parrying the moonveil back at people is beyond satisfying. Glad to see Chase the master beating wholesale ass with it.
Okii, my lord.
Chase is a pub stomping noob
It's too bad that it's bugged. Honestly it's the only reason I don't use it against players: The projectiles do not show up for players, so they'll just get oneshot by it without realizing it.
ogrekoiis, my lord
I still think it needs a nerf. Instead of scaling off enemy spells damage it goes off shield damage. Using it on a +24 carian shield literally let me end shot people with 55 vigor.
15:52 man I've always known Chase to have insane reaction times but he responded to this attack practically instantaneously. I played it back at 0.25 speed and Chase screams the moment the attack enters the screen. I'm convinced he has lizard eyes or something. Only Chase could demonstrate this much skill by getting hit
He definitely heard it going off, before the attack landed, which gave him like a half second to react the way he did lol
For those that don't know, we react faster to sound than we do to visual stimuli.
@@rubbun I can confirm the last part. I've had Chases stream playing in the background and I've caught myself subconsciously reacting to spell casting sounds when I hear them in his video while I play. The other day I rolled while nothing was near me cause I heard glint blade on his livestream, another time I heard an attack then 180° my screen thinking I was being attacked. Made me feel alittle crazy đ
We really do react to sound first and it is pretty neat.
@@Skizzeckz back in the day, you heard the sabretooth sprinting at you before you saw it!
@@rubbun definitely. What makes it so impressive though is the fact that Chase's reaction happens around about 15-20ish frames into the moonveil's animation (after audio occurs). Even with the brain processing audio cues much faster than visual ones, such a reaction takes tons of training to pull off unconsciously, yet moonveil hasn't been around for that long. All that whilst preoccupied too! I'd love to see Chase get into fighting games because some of the fastest moves in them only have a 20ish frame startup and are tough to react to.
if i recall correctly, he's pretty swole irl. good health correlates positively with reaction time, so it makes sense he has very good reaction times.
I love this shield, itâs the biggest No U you can possibly pull off. I remember the first time I succesfully used it and I killed the guy and without hesitation yelled âReturn to sender!â.
Watching your seamless weapon swaps at the best times to adapt to your situation is so clean lol, I find it so funny when youâre outnumbered and youâre like âIâll just bring out the anti mage 9000 real quickâ
15:50 the reaction time of that shout made me spit my drink out.
I've never seen anything so clean as the fight at 11:00. So satisfying
Wow, good plays with that shield. Loved the collateral giant hunt too.
Finally i have something for the right hand when using my fingerprint shield.
You provide one of the best pvp content, with joyfulness and pure skill, legendary
Love the videos, commentary is always a well added bonus! Keep up the great work.
Yeah that shield is so great for us witch hunters haha
True af nooblet sorcerers have this kryptonite. Experienced sorcerers like me and many players better than me though? We counter this shield easy lol.
@@usernotfound141 You're a magekiller killer?
@@usernotfound141 What counter?
@@itslikkem4673 ambush shard is what I use
@@boneyard31 Nice but I would just dodge it at that point, the shield is more for people that spam spells but yeah ambush shard would bypass the shield
it's really cool to go back and see these old videos. see how youve developed as a player
I personally enjoy wizard, 15:03 shows a great use of Chase's skill. I truly believe chase is one of the best.
spacing
timing
and knowledge of each weapon.
Take it easy on the host during a 3/1 so you can get each kill in order...then finish off the host after 3/1 or 4 or 5 or 6 summons later.
truly a mastery of the invaders' craft
*east asian players entering the chat*
I hwas having really bad anxiiety today, a new Chase vid always makes me feel better
I want to see a montage of any invasions you actually lose, if those exist.
I love your videos man, been watching them as my go to choice since I discovered them for the past week or so. Endless entertainment
The fact that you have options to dispell incoming magic is so cool
I absolutely love your ash and weapon combinations
This shield is very cool, doesnt see so many people using it, but still, pretty cool
Need this skill on my kite shield lol
Probably cuz they didn't know that it deflects or cuz they can't always properly do it I dunno
Maybe they don't like shield
@@lag00n54 I thinks it's mainly cause it's heavy and has str and faith requirements making it only usable for high endurance str builds that put some points or talismans in faith. So it's really good and you'll see people using it from time to time, but only 2 builds out of the many varieties can use it
That bubble rebound was absolutely *glorious*
7:27 hilarious
We call it the wizzard cannon :D amazing video dude keep up the laughter and wonderful vibes
You know I have watched a view invasion videos and your commentary is probably the best I ever listen too. Your nice and very good sportsmen.
Lmao love the title, loved the vid. Great stuff man
So many invasions, thank you :)
I dipped 2 faith for a pve spell/panic inducer and this shield in my str int build and I quite enjoy sending moonveils back. I think im done invading for now though, gonna up the soul level finish the game and make a new character.
I have a few builds in mind.
I love these compilation vids. :)
Been running that shield since day 1, absolutely love it
I had no idea it did this and it's just been sitting in my inventory. Awesome.
This video finally made me realize why Chase's saying "Wizard' sounds so familiar, it sounds like Fitzyhere when he's in trouble.
It's interesting to see older videos of ER, you can see how the gameplay changed a lot, like 2:41, look at how painfully slow this weapon art was
hey chase. i had to stop watching for videos for a bit till i finished ER XD. but now im back and loved every second of the game. cant wait to make my second character.
"imagine not being a strength build"
Me who started with the samurai class and duel wielded katanas the entirety of my first playthrough.
Keep up the great videos my man
As someone who learns from their mistakes, I remember the only time I was panic roll- caught to death. I hope they learn
I love watching your pvp so good.
A raindrop hit my screen around 13:13 and chase's evil laugh played at 2x speed. Would recommend others to investigate
Thops barrier is especially funny to use against casters and a good alternative for those with low STR and the like, because they never expect it and it melts them.
The ultimate move is to cast Carian retaliation to block the golden retaliation projectile, and ping pong magic back and forth until someone messes the timing up
That's it, I'm breaking my 3-game-long streak and doing a greatshield playthrough. Between Guard Counters and awesome offensive Greatshield weapon arts, I have to play them; anti-mage capability is just a plus. Gotta go level my Fingerprint, One-Eye, and Ertdree shields.
Fingerprint is soooo cancer but looks fun
@@Togonow4442 Bah, who cares? Rivers of Blood is cancer, people still play it. Besides, we've had ways of getting around shields since Demon Souls.
I canât even get fingerprint shield without falling to my death
@@BlueShellshock even worse that every time I face one of those fingerprint turtles in a duel (not invasions) they hate losing and heal when their health goes below half
This guy faced a moonveil and a rivers like itâs nothing, gj
I love that there are so many new players in this game brings roll catching to a whole new group of individuals
Anyone else having memories of using the Mirror Shield in Legend of Zelda? Reflect one spell onto another enemy...? Reflecting the bubbles was hilarious! Good kills!
I used to hate stars of ruin but now I want people to use it on me lmao
Definitely using this for my next build
Man, you do really appear to be a raid boss in this game - I sincerely hope that when I feel like i've got enough of a grasp of it as a nubcake to play multiplayer at all that you are one of the people I'll have the honour of being bested by, preferably repeatedly so that I may better learn from you even if your videos already provide much of both learning and entertainment! ;)
That axe backstab 11:00 minutes in was some good stuff đ
You can Erdtree parry rock throw too, as long as it's a projectile. Some things you still take damage for AND parry it at the same time, but it still works :)
You should have WAY more views!... high skill AND entertaining :D
I love how they set themselves up against him at the top of the stairs at 7:24.
The wing of astel weapon art is a good anti pressure tool. You cast it at a charging opponent and roll yourself into the explosion
I love this shield, anytime you use it I burst into laughter, I firmly believe this shield is essential to a nice counter gank build
I had no idea you could get that as a piece of equipment! I must get it now!
As someone who really loves int/fth hybrids, I'm glad this exists. Magic should have a hard counter, especially when it's so good. I'm honestly suprised there is no "Vow of silence" kind of spell though, but I might be wrong.
Complete thopts questline. Unfortunatly it is also a spell
Eternal darkness absorbs spells so its basically a better vow of silence.(they can still use non-projectile spells tho) its also a 35 int spell instead of being a faith spell. Faith users do get barrier of gold so they also have counter to mages.
You know... your voice sounds like one of my old friends from junior/highschool he is no longer between us, hearing you makes my day when I miss him
I love how this man plays so much pvp , all his rune arcs go to storage lol
Not gonna lie dude that reaction time on the shield was sick
Chase the Gigabro, slayer of wizards and final raid boss to all multi-player cooperation.
if you end up doing merch, please for the love of god make "heheh fun fight" a shirt or something. Absolutely love the positivity in pvp.

Just got this shield yesterday lmao can't wait to use it
If you want a spell for your miracle build placidusax's ruin is strong for trades and finishes up close, the intitial explosion comes out really damn fast its like a wog
Awesome video, my favorite shield in the game!!! Love your content Chase đđ âMoonveil me honeyâ
also, do u think you could check out the feints on diff weapons ? like the frozen needle rapier that has the R2 shot of ice that doesnât cost any FP also comes out when you use the feint and love to see what types of things you could do using it in your invasions!
That blue hunter at the beginning though lol
These invasion vids are pretty entertaining
20:11 "well that'll be all the greatshield invasions for today"
the sunbro at the end like "yeah, he did...."
This and Carian retaliation is the ultimate "no u".
I'm happy that we have legitimate options to counter magic, because this game is all about arts and spells.
I'm a battle mage and I use a +23 magic great stars. I love it
Has anyone noticed that you get a lightning debuff in the rain... lightning builds kick ass in the rainy weather environments
You are insane at this game ggs
Iâm a DEX/FAI build, with an emphasis on frenzy flame and fire dps, and also pulley crossbow with sleep and rot bolts.
People donât know wtf to do when I start whipping out a billion different tools and weapons.
Lol the scream 4:55 , they should hire you for voice acting Chase
I love that they put this shield in the game
The fight starting at 11:00 was just a masterpiece
pretty sure the erdtree shield works on most if not all non-physical projectiles. works on comer azur too and is pretty much a guaranteed hit against it.
Whenever i see someone weilding that shield all it takes is one eternal darkness to counter
The wizard away 2000... Classic chase
Not only was watching the sorceries get reflected so fun, but watching people roll spam in PvP like their doing something is equally fun.
Damn, this just makes me miss the DS3 carvings. Something about spamming "I'm sorry" is so much more satisfying than the prattling plates in Elden Ring.
Nice video bro. You're a beast playing elden ring.đȘđȘđ„đ„đ
Lol even with the bug fix where it works as intended itâs still monstrous
Holy shit. That turns stars of ruin from easy damage into a death sentence.
I'm rocking full Erdtree Sentinel armor and shield then Golden shield (for non magic users PvE and PvP) and Sacred Relic Sword and Erdtree seal in my right hand.
Thankyou.. Erdtree GS fan here*
You should try the triple rings, shoot them straight at the ground and parry them for a triple lazor
The most honorable host you invaded, bowing then allowing you to 1v1 his summon and then him, was named "Oadalf Hatler", lmao. Although blues did show up at the end. Just though I'd point that out.
4:25
This whole sequence was honestly so fun to watch
I've always thought chase was like the other soulsborne players... Good but definitely uploads highlights/wins. Until I watched a full stream the other day and realized all he does is win... HE NEVER LOSES. I watched some archives after and again HE NEVER LOSES. O.O. He gud.
u have great vibes bro
