What's your favourite intelligence Weapon?
Moonveil katana with rennalla's staff
Staff of loss.
Helphen/deathbird int weapons
The gravity magic weapons are my favorites particularly the big colossal sword/weapon ones. Fallingstar beastjaw, Ruin's Great Sword, And Radahn's Swords are my favorites though royal greatsword isn't too far behind
Whos gonna tell him the followup on the glintstone kris daggers ash of war is fuckin ok as shit?
7:16 btw what armor combo is that?
I think he forgot that glintstone pebble and dart have a follow up attack after firing the projectile that is really strong
nah it got heavily nerfed
Kris is still kinda good but definitely took a hit
@@poacherthenn yeah it’s harder to hit the follow up attack but it still does good damage
@@poacherthenn even after the nerf it's still insanely good.
Glinstone dart was not nerfed glinstone pebble was. Glinstone kris already did less damage but had more range, and also was never a true combo like pebble was. Plus for some reason the tracking on dart is wack asf you’ll shoot right past somebody right in front of you half the time.
I'd put wings of astel in S tier, it becomes extremely strong with an optimized intdex build and it's ash of war has both great crowd control and stagger potential too.
Absolutely! I just went to the wing and am wrecking
exactly its just so versatile, use the scav sword w/ frost build up so you have frost/bleed with the great dual moveset, then tons of flexibility with heavy atk and ash
Its easily best int weapon in game!
It easy to stun allmost every boss in the game.
It’s the Elden beast killer. I’ve one shot the final boss every time with it.
yeah he got that one wrong
I'm sorry. I cannot accept anything lower than S tier for Fallingstar beast jaw. I used that as my weapon for ng4, and it made even malenia easy. Can't be anything but S tier. Same with wing of astel.
The list in general just starts sucking after the c tier
@@andreramirez6372 make quality build it scales well with str/dex 50/50 @125 lvl very powerfull
@@steelwind2334 you’re either misunderstanding what I said or replied to the wrong comment
I just can't take it seriously because of all the cretins who start spamming the AoW instantly when a duel starts. I can't stand those guys
@@timtanner9469 what does "AoW" means?
The claymans harpoon is one of the only weapons that can get magic dmg applied to it, even though it already has it.
Oh shit, apply scholar's armament and go to town
yeah he missed that fact - quite an important one :-)
That's cos it's not considered a unique weapon, which ironically makes it unique in this list. You can do everything to it that you can with a normal weapon, even though it has magic damage built-in and int scaling as if it were a unique. So you can give it any ash of war that works on its weapon class, buff it with spells or incantations and even apply greases and such to it. It's just VERY flexible.
Oh and you can also upgrade it with regular smithing stones instead of needing somber ones. You can also get it in literally the first region (Limgrave), so unlike many of the others here you can start your playthrough with it. Also unlikely to ever be nerfed. :)
The harpoon and knife should buff clay man sorcery.
For any caster that likes a fine mix of melee to spells: TRY the Meteoric Ore Blade. It has the lowest reach but the highest physical damage out of all the katanas. Use your magic to compensate for the lack of reach and it will perform miracles.
Just don’t understand why anyone would use meteoric katana when Moonveil exists and is better in every conceivable way??
@@skipjacks85I use Moonveil because shooting sword beams of any kind is fabulous. That said, there def are better options out there.
@@t0m0d0m0 whether or not there are better options out there is irrelevant. We’re talking about Int focused Katana’s. And this dude is saying the Meteoric Ore blade “will perform miracles.” Meanwhile it’s a mid weapon at best. Moonveil blows it out of the water in every way imaginable and is prob the 2nd or 3rd best Int weapon in the entire game. Behind only Darkmoon GS & Deaths Poker and maybe Wing of Astel.
I really like the Carian Knight Sword, when I started using it, I was confused with its heavy attack. When I realised I could do a block heavy, it made riposting really cool and made fighting those Lions strangely easier.
Its ash of war move goes through walls very well. It is great for those "be wary of" left or right situations.
The Lazuli Glintstone Sword also has the same block heavy as the Carian, and a cheaper, quicker and spammable special move.
Gravitas ashes of war are for fighting groups of flying enemies. It is really hard to miss with, and not only knocks them on the ground but ensures a charged heavy because you don’t need to chase down the fallen enemy. I’m pretty sure they take bonus damage if they get attacked with gravity while airborne. Pulling spells and ashes work in pvp against jump attack spammers, or at least it does for me
Also, gravity spells and effects ignore poise entirely, which makes it a good counter to colossal weapon enjoyers
Gravitas and Alabaster Lord Pull also work great alongside things like roiling magma. Just fire at your feet, take the nearest enemy hostage, and watch them burn
It also makes you crouch to which can be used for a free dodge when you get overwhelmed and it's burst can kill low health adds if you get overwhelmed and agrod on. Then you can combine the interrupt with the offhand like lets say carian greatsword spell. Lots of damage and wide sweep as well. Its how I killed that bow chick in that tower.
They're also meant to have a follow up. Example: Gravitas into Adula's Moonblade or Carian Greatsword; Set up Rolling Magma, pull enemies in with Gravitas, let them get hit by the explosion.
It’s also good for attacking enemies through walls, and groups of weak enemies in awkward positions, like the slugs in the pipes in Lyndell Catacombs.
St. Trina’s Sword is very useful with the sleep when fighting the Godskin Duo as you can put one to sleep and then focus on killing the other. They’ll not wake up from sleep unless you hit them. This can also be achieved with sleep pots though.
sleep pots have better range. they would always skewer me while I was casting as I had to get to close with the sword
st trina is more of a dex weapon with minor int scaling
Can also be a good general purpose crowd control weapon against regular field mobs.
Except sleep pots require the very rare and non-respawning St. Trina's lilly, where as the Sword of St. Trina does not. So yes the pots have longer range, but you won't cringe as much if you accidently miss a sword swing then you would a miss on a pot throw.
Bullshit,i get about 4 seconds
Two things:
A good use for Gravitas and Alabaster Lord Pull is to fire a magma spell at your feet and use the ash to pull enemies into the magma.
Second: the wing’s version of Nebula is more effective against single targets, while the star’s version is better against groups
After using them in specialized runs, Loretta's War Sickle and Sword of St Trina are exceptionally fun weapons, Loretta's unique moveset and AOW feel great to use, and conking people out mid fight, sometimes for a minute, is funnier than it should be to me, plus that extra damage or healing chances really do a lot.
An extra thing about the Clayman harpoon: you could put an ash of war or you could buff it up with scholar's armament e to a thon of damage. I did it in my first playthrough and kept the weapon untill I got to the moonlight greatsword
Pulling enemies in might be rather "meh", but Gravitas also knocks flying enemies prone and that can be absolutely invaluable.
You completely missed the second move with glinstone kris when you press R2 it lunges you forward thrusting into the enemy doing more damage than any of the other attacks with the weapon and it has massive range allowing you to cover ground and move towards an enemy really quick.
Great weapon for light builds
and you can charge the pebble to do comet level damage, with fraction of the FP cost
Kris is goated
My first playthrough, I leaned into a Strength/ Int setup. I used the Royal Greatsword w/ a greatshield and Clayman's Harpoon w/ the Ice Spear Ashe of War. I was mostly following Fextralife's Royal Knight build. It was a lot of fun. Got me through a ton of content. That is, of course, before I discovered the beauty of the Ordovis Greatsword and Siluria's Tree. I respecced immediately after that. Personally, I don't like dual wielding. It feels awkward, so even though Radahn's Greatswords are cool af, they weren't very fun to use. And the Fallingstar Beast Jaw feels so... weak. Idk why, but it never feels like I'm doing that much damage with it, especially when compared to Ice Spear on Clayman's Harpoon. And its range feels inconsistent.
great i had no idea there were so many. this made it easy to go out and get all the ones I've missed so far. many thanks!!
You failed to mention that the glintstone dart has a heavy follow up that deals huge damage and poise damage and the range of the follow up thrust attack is double or triple the distance of the normal glintstone pebble. You also didn't mention that its chargeable unlike glintstone pebble.
Bro That was driving me nuts
He missed a lot
I feel you undersell the impact of sleep with the St Trina sword. Everybody thinks "Yeah, I won that fight cause my bleed killed the enemy faster!" but nobody bothers to think "Yeah, I won that fight because the enemy wasn't attacking me because of the sleep" which I feel is a bit disappointing, because on some enemies you can just chain sleep them to have them literally never attack you
Sword would be god tier vs the godskin duo lol
That sword is broken in pvp. He definitely doesn’t know wassup. Dual st Trina’s swords is close to unbeatable because of the heavy sleep proc + dual ss damage and move set. It’s insane
@@midnighttoast1550 yeah, his assessment on some of these weapons is downright terrible.
@@ttungstenn4842 It IS God tier against the Godskin Duo. Have a mimic tear set up for applying sleep and let the boss fight feel more balanced.
I read somewhere that crits are enhanced on sleeping enemies
Gravitas is a decent ash of war mostly for the ability to interrupt animations, it was a big part of my first run with meteoric ore blade
The charged heavy attack of the Ruin Greatsword as has a small gravity second hit similar to the gravity chunk item so when you break poise you do massive damage and hit twice.
I actually like running meteoric ore blade during stormveil or really any area with flying enemies. Gravitas knocks them all down, makes em a lot easier.
Gravitas also staggers enemies that are pulled close and you can chain in the R2 or charged R2 really easily, which deals great damage and great poise damage.
That's what I was thinking , the stagger but you added on to that , good show.
Great video and great timing since I’m trying to plan out a weapon focused int build
I’m just curious, do you not know about the follow up of glintstone pebble and dart? Hitting R2/T after casting gives a lunge that does so much damage. I feel like those two weapons should be higher on the list
Wing of estel is best int weapon in game
Yeah it's really good for people who want to close the distance after casting a phalanx spell or something. I think the charge up time for fully charging it should be lowered.
Great video! Picked up the Clayman’s harpoon, great weapon
I made an intelligence build and i put everything into intelligence, i was using the bloodhounds fang for a long time with just enough strenght and dex to wield it and then i suddenly realized how i not only have the moonveil in my inventory but i also have like 70 intelligence and it was a complete game changer! xD almost dubbled my damage output with a few upgrades to the weapon!
Wings of Astel is S tier for me. Fast, high damage and easily staggers enemies.
Stagger as good as Flame of the Redmane?
@@12-OneTwo Like that. But deals way more damage!
@@ALEXANDER6888 2-3 hits to stager a Godfrey?
@@12-OneTwo That i don't know/recall. I don't use it anymore since I am high level and there are better weapons if you have 80 int, dex and faith like me. I currently use the serpent king's sword (with golden vow and flame buffs, you can kill Godfrey with 8 hits or so), deathpoker (for slower bosses and dragon bosses) and wings of astel for normal dragons. I'm kinda overpowered rn, and I'm not even level 400
@@12-OneTwo it staggers the Elden beast like nothing. Actually makes the fight a cakewalk.
10:22 gravitas makes a lot of sense with r2 attack lf this weapon(Ichimonji from Sekiro), it basically makes it 100% hit and this r2 is crazy good.
glintstone dart skill got follow up thrust attack if you press heavy attack button after firing the dart, the thrust is longer than glintstone pebble ash of war follow up heavy attack thrust
I love Death's Poker. It's easy enough to get with enough arrows and the ash of war can carry you for a long time.
That weapon is absolutely good. this list should be completely ignored if anyone is a newby
Yeah the list isn’t the best. Apart from missed things, there’s pretty heavy biases in the list as well
Nice vid, but forgot the much stronger follow up combo on GlintStone pebble with the Lazuli Glintstone Sword. Glintstone + Heavy Attack does a decent thrust that staggers most enemies IMO.
He forgot a lot of things.
The crystal swords have the best AR for a str/int hybrid straight sword build, and more AR than heavy (though it goes through two defenses) they do less dps than cold infused straight swords after cold procs, but its possible to proc cold before you use the swords so then crystal becomes the best again in terms of damage with basic attacks. I dual wielded the regular crystal sword and the rotten one together and did insane damage on my playthrough. I also had a longsword and broadsword at +25 but went with the crystal swords. They are really good for PvE and you can get the one crystal sword at the start of the game without fighting anything, very underrated weapon in my opinion.
Gravitas is good for killing invisible scarabs, revealing ambushes before going through a door, bringing down those annoying birds in Stormveil, or killing enemies above/below you (such as the frenzyflame tower).
If you are doing a Int/Faith build, use the Death Poker and the SoNaF. Death Poker's Ash of War scales of both Int and Faith so it becomes a monster
I've been playing as a sorcery build and I've been wielding the moonveil katana all game, it's so fun. The timing is a little wonky sometimes if you're trying to chain the ash of war but it's just so useful.
The timing is wonky? wth are you on about? Transient Moonlight is one of the fastest weapon skills in the entire game? It comes out lightning fast. It’s absolute cancer in PvP. What more do you want??
I dont think that you knew this, but glitstone pebble can be follow up by a R2 attack, wich lauches you foward in a thrust attack, very powerfull in pvp.
The death ritual spear deserves better
I mean grups of enemies yes, but think about large bosses being hit by multiple spears every wave
It well works well
Not like s tier tho
I understand that the Carian Knight Sword isn't good for a spellblade build, but I love this sword so much that I don't care about that. It has gotten me to Ng+4 and I won't drop it even after Ng+7. Plus, Carian Grandeur is epic.
I did watch the whole video. I love Adula's moonblade and use it with the Carian Regal Scepter. I only need another weapon as a supplement from time to time.
You missed out on the Glintstone Kris's secondary part of the weapon's ash of war: Not only does this weapon have an amazing high damaging magic dart, BUT it also has a very fast finisher thrust as part of the moveset. The ash of war is triggered by an L2, then immediately finish with a thrusting R2. What makes this an amazing weapon is that you're able to alternate casting sorcery in conjunction with using the weapon's ash war, and the finishing thrust scales damage with talismans like the shard of Alexander for both PVE and PVP.
You may have considered this already, but using a well timed Gravitas on Meteoric Blade is a wonderful AOE for crowds. I got it up to +9 and was just clearing groups of enemies in Leyndell when surrounded or when sneaking.
Starscourge Great Swords are the lightest way to duel wield colossal swords at 20.0 units. Dual wielding zweihanders weighs 31.0 units so Starscourge are good for people who don’t want to devote loads of levels and talismans to equip load.
Wing of astel is absolutely nuts vs big targets. Fire giant took me 3 tries and the first 2 tries I didn't get hit on his first phase at all, it just kills him too fast. The weapon skill is a bit slow for some bosses, but most just run into it if you can get some distance before laying it out.
Vastly underestimating the Death's Poker. The lingering AoE from its skill is far more effective than it should be as you can launch it from range and the enemy will beeline towards you directly through it, racking up the damage very quickly.
better that he ranked it lower than it should’ve been lol, don’t want to attract attention to it since it’s seriously so OP. Shredded through the game with it.
i havent figured out how to cast its aow that far out?
@@lostinspacestudio after the first one press R2 or the equivalent of R2 on your controller
@@hortator0767 sadly I'm on a pc.. do you mean light attack or heavy .
@@lostinspacestudio heavy attack
Believe it or not one of my favorite weapons is the 1st D tier one you mentioned… and it’s not because of “damage” or a specific build for it.. I love it strictly for its asthetics and the way it looks when swung around feels majestic so for me it’s just a fun weapon that I learned how to use
Clayman Harpoon is one of the few weapons that can be buffed despite inherently doing split damage too.
I also ran into it super early in my mage playthrough, and you can use it without stat investment by 2 handing it. Right at the start of the game, you can take the elevator down to sofria and access an area with maybe 20 enemies that can drop it. Takes a bit to mow them down, but it's doable
Great video my friend definitely some nice weapons to look at because I am making a 3rd character in the game who will be solely focused on intelligence base magic. And I am stuck between either making her a mage or a Knight of some sort but after looking at the game play that you showed with your character in. That silver armor. I wanted to ask what is the name of that silver armor?
Carian Knight Sword is really good early on, but if you like Carian Grandeur, at higher levels, you'd be better off using a normal sword and put the ash of war to get better scaling.
I used carian knight sword all the way to elden beast. The only downside with the weapon was probably the ash of war being to slow but other than that it is good.
The carian knight sword should be in S tier. I use a carian knight build and 2 hand it, it's good enough to take out a bloodhound's step spammer in bull goat armor with a rivers of cum before patch 1.06
7:20 you are the first person i see to put top weapons of the tier to the right side instead of the left.
The reason why sleep is an okay status ailment is for critical builds and those assassins dagger talismans. Also makes me sad to hear people say the hammer move set is bad :p
Would you recommend the scholars armament with a high def weapon? Or do you think the native int scaling of the moonveil is better to use instead since scholars armament cant be used on it.
I do a build with Fallingstar Beast Jaw and Carian Grandeur.
Put down Terra Magicka and use Fallingstar AoW to stagger an enemy then weapon swap to Carian Grandeur and fully charge it in the Terra Magicka to hit the staggered enemy.
Can stagger bosses in 4 casts of the AoW and get the Terra magicka, weapon swap, plus the fully charged Carian Grandeur off for a massive blast.
More if you put floating swords up or hit then with Rannis Dark moon first.
Couple things. With the clayman's harpoon you failed to mention that unlike other weapons, not only can you use different ashes and enchantments, but if you select Keen (if your secondary attack stat is dex) or heavy (if str) as the enchantment with the new ash, you can also imbue it with scholar's armament or frost using a spell, creating an opportunity for massive damage. Personally, I really love using scholar's armament then the rapid thrust ash of war for MASSIVE damage. I think the amount of flexibility and number of great builds this weapon allows for alone sets it apart as a S-Tier weapon.
Sword of St Trina is accessible very early game (though put of the way) and absolutely shines from chain sleeping giants to quickly knocking out enemies as others approach so you aren't overwhelmed when you don't have enough time to kill them. It starts to become less effective mid game when you start running into more enemies who resist sleep and quickly take a knee and get back up or bosses who are totally immune to it and by late game it's difficult to put most things to sleep at all. Early game S-Tier, mid game B-Tier, end game D-Tier. Highly recommend an early game sneak over to caelid to grab it.
I think wing of astel and sword of night and flame are 2 of the most versatile useful weapons in the game, nebula has such crazy stance breaking ability and sword of night flame I mean come on what do I even say, it throws flames with surprising distance and it has mini comet azur which got me through so many fights until I got the actual comet azur. That was a good list, I might have to out a couple of these weapons.
Not the best list tbh...
People sleep so hard on Carian Knights sword, ppl don’t realize that it’s heavy has block properties in heavy start up. And carian grandeur has decent hyper armor. It makes a nearly perfect Spell Knight weapon.
Im new to ER, started with an Astrologer , I am lvl 40 right now, been rocking the Meteorite staff for awhile now. I dont use any other weapons tho? I am a little confused, and still trying to understand why these weapons are "INT" weapons when they are physical attacks? I was expecting to see all staffs and things like that on this. Can someone explain to me please? THANK YOU
What was the blue armour set you used in this video?
The kris dagger follow up ash is really good.
sorry man but, Colossal weapons should be higher BECAUSE of what they are.
They do crazy poise damage to any mob including bosses and have amazing scaling as well, especially the Fallingstar Beast Jaw
That's fair. As I said in the video, I was conflicted between B and A. The Starscourge Greatsword being what it is, is why I decided at the very top of B.
@@norzza makes sense, no worries
Glintstone dagger is my favorite weapon in game. The dart skill is like a mini nuke [chargeable too] and the dash attack allows a fast unexpected strike. Use a good melee weapon in the left hand to follow up dashes with. Mine is bandit sword so I can switch to wing of astel in my right hand. Good video but maybe give glintstone dagger another look bro. Its devastating. I have the highest win ratio in my discord server for xbox.
I love the magic broadsword, with glintstone pebble or grandur
Slumber may not be the best, but it is a really good way to deal with the god skin duo
The glintstone pebble ash and the glintstone dart ash are really good because of the charging forward attack you do after using them by pressing the heavy attack button. So if you’re on ps4/5 you’d press L2 then R2. Especially in pvp I can easily one shot people or deal most of their health because if you land the pebble/dart, the follow up is guaranteed
Actually dart is not a true combo. Glinstone dart is weaker then pebble in favor of more range. And I actually think with the nerf on pebble it’s not a true combo anymore either I could be wrong tho they definitely nerfed the dmg tho
its buffed in 1.07 patch, but this vídeo man, dont read descriptions of habilities i think.
Glinstone pebble or dart is the high combo break game
my first playthrough I did int faith str and I main the star scourge greatswords I love them
Glitstone kris has a followup in its ash of war brother. In the correct setup its a highly effective weapon with decent scaling even in NG+.
Gravitas is the best ash of war. I never would have made it past the birds in Faram Azula without it.
Against anything not flying it sucks, but against those dang birds, it's a life saver.
I would put the beast claw in S tier considering how broken it gets most of the time. I showed my friend how to get it and made him just test it out ( he was using dual katanas till then ) and I regret it xD
Maah man didn't stop spamming the ability wherever he went. I can't tell you how many *hard* enemies he has just cheesed from distance. For instance the crucible knight in deeproot depths, godskins ( almost all of them including in the farum azula ) , loretta in haligtree, fire giant, the hard dragons in farum azula, magma wryms ( both in volcano manor and snowfields ) and many more that I cannot remember right now. It's straight up broken cuz you can just wear heavy armor to tank all the damage and spam it, you will do better damage if you keep spamming the ability on staggered enemies as well.
Every time we got invaded while playing together he would stand in center and spam the ability to make the invader roll and I go for melee attacks, poor invaders didn't stand a chance. That weapon ash of war is really strong and I would strongly advice you NOT to show it to your lazy friends cuz THEY WILL CHEESE THEIR WAY TO MALENIA. ( idk about malenia, he still hasn't reached her yet ).
i used this weapon to blitz ng+ up to 7 lmao it’s so broken. melts every main boss in the game except for godfrey and maliketh since they close the distance too fast.
Small critizism on the claymans harpoon: Yes you can put any ash of war on it, but to get any sort of decent int scaling, you have to choose a magic infusion. At which point, why even bother with that spear over any other. Sadly the initial int scaling doesn't improove the scaling of the magic infusion.
Might just be biased tho, because I personally find spears boring to use.
That's completely fair. I like the weapon flexibility as it's so rare you can put AoW on int scaling weapons.
The thing with the Poon is that it's the only Int scaling weapon that you can buff with Scholar's Armament as well which can boost its AR well past other weapons in its class during its effect time. With that, you can also still infuse it with AoW of your choice, keeping it on Standard infusion doesn't cut the power of something like Ice Spear or Pebble too dramatically at all because of its natural Int scaling and you have other options like Impaling Thrust which do silly damage when buffed. It also pairs well with the Jellybro Shield for a sword n board set up if you want, and it also gets a great boost from Stormhawk Deenh's buff in boss fights, all three buffs stack on a weapon with natural Int scaling, and really good speed and range. If you're a buff build, this is your stick.
For my Onyx is still one of my go to INT weapons - 2/3 through the game - still use it a lot
Troll knight's sword's ash of war is pretty good for poise breaking and stunlock i also pair it with gut's sword
St Trinas Sword is DEFINITELY better than C tier. On tougher humanoids, as a mage, its amazing. Put them to sleep, buff and blast them to hell with your biggest spell.
I got Moonveil pretty early in the game and as a Intelligence build it literally carried me through the entire game. Hands down the best.
I put spellblade set on, Godfrey icon, Alexander shard and all the other magic boosting mcguffins
Full charge carian grandure
Big boy damage
I also used double cayman harpoon with lorrettas slash
Figured out how to play with a controller to use the moonveil, but can't figure out how to play it with a keyboard and mouse for the horizontal strike AOE attack.
Any help?
Happy Thanksgivings.
what i find amusing his how radahn's greatswords there is a high chance you got that before alabaster lord's sword and it does the same thing but nukes them away after pulling them towards you making alabastor lord sword useless even in the gravitas category because the roll it fills is taken and surpassed lol.
Glintstone Kris also has a follow up attack with the ash or war.
I wandered into Caelid and beat everything there before anywhere else in my blind play through. The Death Poker carried me throughout the entire game.
You have the Bastard’s Star too low I think. The nebula art is different from the one on the wing of astel. It does take a little getting used to, but once you learn the timing and range of the art it’s devastatingly effective. Its my everyday carry. I will say that having a decent Dex ranking is kinda mando. You should have a decent dex if you are caster anyways.
I find myself favoring my Lance, for my Dex/Int Spell Knight. Put cold damage on it, with Bloodhound step, and carry The Carian Royal Scepter, or Lusat's Staff, in my off hand.
Spellblade set + Alexander’s jar talisman+ Godfrey’s talisman + magic Scorpion talisman makes glintstone dart hit for like 1700-2500. it’s a cheaper comet spell. it definitely should be at least an A. Wing of Astels weapon art with the same build also hits harder than most of the S tier weapons too and is an amazing boss melter. 😅 idk if you tested these ?
Gravitas/ALP is handy if you have a dagger to switch too so that the enemies are now in your face and you can get some quick hits in.
The Stagger is also good
I use moonviel as my regular weapon but i use misericord with glintvlade phalanx for the crit on bosses.
You aren't using the skills glintstone pebble or gravatas correctly. Both have true combo followups that do insane damage.
What is you armor in the video? Thank you
If you can wait until NG+ or get one from a friend, dual-wielding Wings of Astel can shred nearly anything
I’ve been using Astel, SONF, and Moonveil and would rank them in that order.
INT only or other stats too?
glintstone kris ash of war actually chains into a sick heavy attack
Don’t forget you can chain glintstone pebble/dart into an improved lunge attack.
Ash of war ability aside. Claymans harpoon is also the only weapon with innate Int that can be buffed with any element. soo good.
Combo Scepter of The All-Knowing with a Spelldrake Talisman to remove your weakness to magic and make it neutral, while your opponent is still weak to it. This can work against a ton of bosses, idk why you said it's useless outside of PvP
3:51, you made an error in speaking here. It doesn’t reduce holy damage, it reduces its negation, meaning all holy damage is increased.
I used the Death Ritual Spear to defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella and the Dragonlord Placidusax so it has become one of my favorite weapons.
Wing of Astel nebula can take down some large bosses really quick if u spam it.
Found the clayman's harpon at the very begining of the game, never quite it ❤
Ty!
Fallingstar beast jaw is the best overall weapon in the game. Staggering from distance with its ashen war is game breaking against bosses like Malaenia.
Nice video! I feel like I am missing so much of this game. I'm playing an intelligence build. As such, once I found the Moonveil katana, I never wanted to use anything else, so I have very little knowledge of other weapons or even how to apply ashes of war. I do like the wing of Astel, though.
Loretra's Sickle looks like the Winged Scythe animations.
Slumber is good for duo fights or just wanting a meaty crit
So saint trina is more utility then a actual weapon
So yeah high c or low b
Many of the weapons listed are NOT INT weapons.
They have int requirement to wield, but they do damage based on physical stats.
Examples of weapons listed are:
Ruins Greatsword (STR weapon)
Fallingstar Beast Jaw (QUA weapon)
Sword of St Trina (QUA weapon)
Starscourge Greasword (STR weapon)
know its an old viedo but the glinstore kris can actuly do ALOT of damage with its weapon art, like the dart dores more damage then my +10 lucia staff with 80 int. And alot of stuff can buff it everything from the magic ring, and the ring that buff weapon arts also buff the damage and also the Charge ring, so I did actuly find it to be very very powerfull if you use the art running a Dex/int build ( 60dex / 80 int ). Just wanted to say what I think about that small dagger :P.-
Not mentioning that Glintstone Kris and Lazuli Glintstone Sword have a secondary attack to their ashes of war activation or thinking Stars of the Bastard are bad, in any way make sme think you are just bad at using Int based weapons...
EDIT: Jesus, slumber? Bad? WTF? Godskin Duo cure?
