    📜 - - - DESCRIPTION - - - 📜
    Elden Ring has a specific branch of armaments that have unique skills, which are skills that can’t be found on ordinary weapons. They can be customized and improved variants of regular skills, such as Endure vs Oath of Vengeance, or they can have support utility like Devourer of Worlds or Taker’s Flames. A few of them even have the sheer impertinence to be a spitting image of a regular skill while going by a completely different name…
    These are my least favorite unique skills.

    Something interesting for the people that don't know is that Destined Death Ash of Wars (Maliketh's Black Blade or Black Knife) stack with the Black Blade incantation for a temporary 20% health reduction, they however do not stack with each other. This means that if you remember to apply them again before the debuff runs out you can effectively fight bosses with 80% of their max health.

      @@Joetheknight406 Destined death (red and black flames) is the same thing as black flame, but has an additional -10% to the enemy's max HP. The only things in the game capable of inflicting destined death are the black knife, Maliketh's black blade, and the black blade incantation.
      Gargoyle's Black Blade does NOT inflict destined death. It inflicts black flame, which is why enemies look like they've been hit by black flame (because they have). However, the weapon itself plays a particle effect on hits that looks like destined death, but doesn't actually do anything.

    I wish Knowledge Above All would have also let Gideons hammer act as a duel catalyst.

    • @hi-i-am-atan
      @hi-i-am-atan Před 5 měsíci +10

      i wonder if weapon catalyst functionality even exists in the game. considering how much of its everything is taken directly from the souls series, i'm not sure _why_ it wouldn't be, but the complete omission of any of 'em makes me wonder if it was actively a design decision to not add any and subsequently they weren't concerned with making changes to core systems that make just tossing them in not a particularly simple task. i can find like two mods that modify some weapons into weapon catalysts, but from what i can tell, all they actually do is make them a catalyst with actual r2s
      i do have to wonder how weapon catalysts would actually _work_ in elden ring. they could replace the heavy as per tradition, but charged heavies are such a major part of the game that giving them up for something that you could just get by off-handing a catalyst does not seem like an great trade. especially considering that the main type of build that would appreciate being able to cast with a weapon are 2h ones that have switching off from 2hing to make use of an offhand catalyst, and those tend to use big weapons that have _big_ 2h charged heavies. the modded ones i found cast with r1 like normal catalysts do, which would make for in-game consistency but also just brings the opposite issue of r2, where it doesn't fit well with quick weapons that really like their r1 chain which tend to be dex weapons and there's your cast speed stat. not to mention, if you powerstance with a weapon catalyst in your offhand, what happens when you press l1? i suppose the simplest answer overall would probably be to just make an weaponskill, which also has the benefit of opening the door to letting the player make _any_ generic weapon into a weapon catalyst via an ash ... but then you lose out on turning gideon's hammer into a weapon catalyst, unless you just totally remove the current skill or i guess turn it into a stance skill or something. seems kinda clunky tho

      Even if it's not on Gideon's hammer I do hope there is something in the dlc that lets you cast both sorcery and incantation. It's already kind of a pain in the ass to level up both faith and intelligence in the same playthrough so it doesn't seem too unreasonable or OP to put in the game

    Personally I found the jellyfish shield to be pretty good on my sorcery build because I casted spells instead of using weapon arts.

    A fun thing I learned about Surge of Faith is that if you can get her against a wall, you can just spam the hell out of it and Malenia is just constantly thrown back with no chance of recovery as long as your stamina lasts. It throws her out of that stupid wake-up kick she has, it's amazing.

    As a Magma Guillotine enjoyer, it's actually surprising how so many people fall for the follow-up attack from it, and then have their entire HP bar disappear. In PvE its can also do ludicrous damage and knock back enemies with the final ground-chop. Good video, earned a sub.

      Come to think about it: I don’t even remember why we’re fighting him, seems like we just showed up and kill him because he’s there.
