You can also greatly increase the damage output by using the Septenary Heartfire pill to reset your spell cooldowns and summon a second troop of Monkeys. Also, you can forgo charging by taking an enhanced gensing pellet to instantly gain four points of focus. You can also greatly increase your attack, crit chance and crit damage for a long period by taking a Loong Aura Amplification pellet. All of these medicines are craftable and their ingredients farmable. Medicines as a whole are insanely OP if you remember that they exist.
@@joshisloco THIS^^^ If you watch Syrobe weapon teir list he talks about this setup but with thrust stance and its just as strong but way more consistent
i feel like a way to make this build better would be going the same build but instead of smash you go thrust since if you get the talent where if u have 4 focus points and dodge into a crit it will come out instantly so you can basically pop gore eye daoist, pop clones, use a ginseng pill for 4 focus points while using jingubang, going into cloud mist and charging up with the armor set while running then when ur at max stacks you dodge and crit instantly
This build wont oneshot bosses in NG+3 and up. I do 15k crits without the monkey army, using the Bull Kings Armor and Dark Iron Staff and it takes like 25 - 50% of the boss HP.
Its cause ur using the bullying armor set, if u switch to the common souzi armor that u find in the chest (defense increases per relic) ur defense would be MUCH higher therefore so would ur attack with the dark iron staff.
Fun Fact: The Dark Iron Staff can be crafted at the very start of ng+ if you save at least 2 of the materials. You unlock its crafting recipe the moment you enter ng+. So if you want it as early as possible I recommend crafting the Bull King chest piece and then entering ng+ to craft the staff. Considering you can't get the full armor set in one run anyways I think crafting the staff instead of 3 armor pieces is a much better choice since it is the best weapon in the game currently.
@@timmeh8341 You can craft it in A1 NG+. The recipe is unlocked in NG+ at first shrine. The armor requires enough horns for 2 runs of A5 anyways, so the staff is the better option early on.
The Erlang staff shreds everything in NG+ with a Spellbinder build, having a strong ranged attack for just one focus point is incredibly strong. I use the Bull King helm and chest with it. In chapter 5 you can get more horns so thats when I am planning to craft the Dark Iron staff. Curious to see what damage increase that gives.
@@timmeh8341 No you don't... You unlock the crafting recipe at the first shrine after entering ng+. I'm on ng+4 with the platinum trophy I think I know what I'm talking about...
@@RubinKlein25 It does do a decent amount of damage but there are better options. Such as the Adept Fubon Staff. Use that paired with the Venomous insect armor and Venomous armgaurd and you'd get a pretty beefy build that is constantly healing you and poisoning enimies whenever you land crits and use focus points. Stormflash long staff is also extremely good as well for the shock damage. Sadly the Erlang staff starts to fall off pretty fast in mid ng+ and ng+2 but it is fun to use till that point.
i think the absolute strongest build is the dark iron staff with 1986 wukong set. I believe the damage cap for it is around 290 or 300. But it requires 3 full playthroughs to reach that potential.
No. Eventually the scaling to attack from defense gets out dmged by Yaksha armor. Raw 25% dmg increase, combined with crit amplifiers hits harder. The pilgrim armor hits the hardest with charged attacks
After the first playthrough with this game u need to try new game plus 1 u level up like crazy from the most minor enemy 2 u get to feel alot more like wukong and u get to enjoy your hard work alot more after u finish with true ending there's not much left to fight so u go into a new game and man do u feel op af!!!! Even with new game plus being a bit harder in terms of enemy hp n atk power it's no problem ive been running through my second play though just having fun not going for true ending again unless it just kinda happens...I'm running a cloud step wukong build all his armour and weapon with the cloud step spirit it's funny my manna is higher than my health
You can get a second tiger relic the same way you get the first one in NG+ which means you don't have to use the self-poison combo as it's the exact same crit chance buff and can instead use something more useful. This also means that on NG++ you can get a third Tiger relic for even more crit chance.
if i had a nickel for every time i switched to a new build, only for the immediate next boss i fight to be the perfect counter to it i'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot but it's rather annoying that it's happened twice
Hey guys, amazing vid do u reckon u can make a best thrust stance build. I have an idea what it looks like but would love to see you guys make a vid on that
1st playthrough 2-3 hrs on tiger vanguard 2nd playthrough 10 sec fight no hit 3 bonk goodbye tail long lol😂new game plus is a must for just pure fun every boss up till now has been just toyed with revenge is 😋 sweet
Are you sure your getting the benefit of the pilgrim armor set? Once you stop sprinting the bonus damage only lasts for about 1 second, and the animation of doing the 4 point heavy attack, takes longer than that. It is very very hard to get off a charged heavy attack in smash stance with the pilgrim armor set.
I loved his Elden Ring videos and some of this Games videos but early in the game. But these builds he puts together is like jumping through hoops in most of the equipment is deep game material I'm not even in New Game Plus yet
Recently reached maxed level and found out that all the self poision builds no longer work... At max level with all the mind core upgrades you have over 100 poison resist... in other words you cant be poisoned... So you either have to refund your stat points or refund the mind cores to use such builds. Kinda funny that in a way youre punished for being max level
Yeah, noticed the same. Sucks armor and weapons passive don't go through your defenses normally. Easy enough to make a switch in the coding, and not render 2 sets of armour potentially useless just by raising your own resistances.
@@MasonStoijck Yea I'd have to imagine it was a mistake on their part. And as many people haven't reached maxed level/cores yet they might not be aware of it. Hopefully it gets fixed or at least addressed soon
I don't know why you are using Ring of Fire. The Pilgrum set lets you charge focus just by running, and Immobilize both freezes the enemy and when upgraded boosts damage even more
To charge +4 then runs after 4 charge for some dmg buff post-4 charge. Can't get to 4 off charging normally so would need to dps to 4 before doing all of that if you wanted to take off the RoF.
plus the better staff doesnt allow the 4th focus point by charging. the ring of fire perk allows him to do that. the 2nd best staff allows the charging of the 4th focus point without ring of fire, but again, hes usin the former.
Didn't they nerf the time for when the buff stays? A lot of people say that the animation for the 3 or 4 focus smash takes too long that the buff goes away before you even connect the hit. Also it's not a "new" thing, the reason they nerfed it is because people were already doing this 3 weeks ago right before the Captain Wise-Voice nerf.
Yeah they did. 4 focus no longer can apply fast enough the attack buff. But 3 focus can, if timed properly. I've noticed if you run into an enemy, it counts as stopping. Whereas if you cast the heavy attack far enough that it barley lands as you gapclose to the enemy, the buff lasts.
It's a kinda a hidden boss in Chapter 5 around the same area as the Fire Rock monster that's right before the 5th Golden Wagon yaoguai You need 4 flame ore to activate it by the glowing crack on the ground The mother of flamelings I think is her name
This really stops working around NG+5 for the rare people that go that deep. Your plucks get destroyed quick and bosses have way more health and one shot. The chapter 6 set pretty much scales the best and offers the most utility. I was poison build and gold Armor through NG+4 and had to switch to Bull set for a few bosses. In NG+5 I really struggled with some bosses that were previously easy to the point I switched to chapter 6 armor + staff and it made a world of difference. Now I'm in NG+6 and little ever boss is a one or two shot hard stop. The ability to reset Immobilize & cloud step super fast with the set bonus on top of Wukong stance is just to good. You can control the boss even better than gold set + bat on top of putting out far higher damage You must be able to stop incoming damage unless you are a professional TH-camr who has God level dodge ability.
@@MasonStoijck well after ng+4 he is nearly impossible to beat so i hope they find a bulid like that or the devs should neft him down in the next patch cuz right now he truly is broken .
@@duykhanhcloud6866 I think he is alright. Strong for sure, but a final boss without making you struggle wouldn't be really fitting. If you invest time into ng+, I think the challenge up of hardness is fair. And I'm saying that after I've pulled my hair trying to beat him.
@@MasonStoijck nope not fair at alk,im on ng+5 right now and i have maxed out everything unlocked everything and one hit from him nearly took my whole health bar out somehow he even harder in ng+ then in the base game there is no fun or fairness in it at all the devs really fucked up the scaling in this game.
Bro how come u have so much defense, is it because of recent nerfs? W the exact same build i get 470 defense and 212 attack :( u know why this happens?
i dont get it how do u have 26% cr and 204% cd i only get to 11% and 184?? and yes i have every stat boost i can get in ng+ all celestial medicines except for four banes res foundation skills all maxed out and everything
Ok dude, but how about 2 Phase bosses? Hahahaha' The build is not efficient with 2 phase bosses, cause it will be hard to land 2 times, since the QI don't have time to recharge.
I'm sorry but if you got to do all these little hoops just to get high damage then what's the point? I can beat the game without having to resort to like the highest damage hit. And I can do it without using medicine or Ring of fire or planting anything in the ground or running around continuously. Practically anything I hit dies in one or two hits. Bosses maybe not but it doesn't take that long. Takes longer to do all that nonsense than it does to actually fight the boss.
This comment is kinda stupid. You do this because it's actually a mechanic in the game to boost your damage. So if your struggling on a boss or a fight you don't like you can do this strat. Just cause you have your playstyle don't make the next playstyle worse or better

the problem with this setup is the stacks fall of before you can land the charged heavy since you only have 2 second after stop moving
That’s why it’s better to use thrust stance since it’s instant with the last skill that you get in the stance tree
@@joshisloco THIS^^^ If you watch Syrobe weapon teir list he talks about this setup but with thrust stance and its just as strong but way more consistent

Add when you gain the focus points, you can switch the armor and the points are going to stay.
