This is for you rusty The warped remains of priests who searched for revelation in service of the ancient dynasty, they employ two sorceries that produce smaller and larger bubbles.
No one really knows why they exist and a lot players never see them since lots of players don't know about underground (until they look for the mimic tear I guess). The Ocular bubble Spell is actually pretty good though albeit slow but like he said, if you can get them to walk into it XD To that affect, I've fully charged it and then thrown a dart and voila

Miquella uses Miquealla's light.: Nukes the area and massacres your health bar. I use Miquella's Light on a 99 Faith build: Minor inconvenience for everyone involved. It needs a serious buff. The cast time is too long to hit so... Weakly.

Nah that’s a mercy. Gank squads already love to camp in tiny caves. I can’t imagine the cancer if three wizards were spamming “reflecting shard” or whatever.
@spiraljumper74 Because that is worse than a gank squad spamming crystal shards, magma incantations, any of the rain incantations, the fie snake consumable that bounces etc. how exactly?
I appreciate that later patches tried to give every spell a niche. I also love that this manifested in the bubble spells becoming a sniper rifle and a poise breaking shotgun.
I still remember in my 1st ever playthrough comboing 2 giant bubbles with a full charged Loretta magic arrow to open fights with in PvE, did such good damage and set up into each other so well with the timing of the bubble's arrival.
I think the whole deal of Loretta's sorceries is to be magic snipers, and they do that pretty well. You can kill an entire camp of enemies from a safe spot very far away, if you use terra magica and the right talismans.
@@0mn1V4lkyrDrag0n I never had any luck at all with Astels using Loretta's magic pew pew. Seems like those fuckers have a GPS lock on me the second I'm anywhere close enough to actually hit them. I either get annoyed and just plink at them with a greatbow or dig out my Meteorite Staff and throw rocks at em till they croak.
Agreed, it felt like Rusty really didn't know what he was talking about with these two. They are for running around the world, picking off enemies while exploring from a safe distance. Talking about DPS and the like is pointless, what you care about is if you can 1 or 2 shot an enemy before they reach you.
Placidusax’s Ruin isn’t really dragon communion, since you don’t eat his actual heart, and it’s not really a Dragon Cult incant because it’s an innate trait of Placidusax- not everyone can access it. If anything, it’s more like remembrance communion, where you draw upon his power directly through the Erdtree and Runes, hence why it has purely a Faith requirement. Bayle’s Tyranny, on the other hand, is basically super-communion, since it requires pure Arcane. Basically the two opposite ends of the Dragon Magic spectrum.
It’s important to note that for dragon communion builds there’s a trick with the breaths. The second volley of breath attack only needs at least one fp for the full half. Meaning if you time you plan your fp out you can essentially have “spell slots”. Where you can say “oh I have two dragon claws and a dragon breath” and stuff like that. It can be pretty damn efficient! Still just a lot of damage though.
Placidusax’s Ruin being separate and ostracized from the other Dragon Communion spells kinda makes you think that the other dragons secretly hate Placidusax and are just associating with him for the clout.
Its not considered Dragon Communion because its not gained through Dragon Communion, you never get to have his Heart and thus can not eat it to commune.
The Dragon Communion cult was establish on behalf of Placi for the purpose of hunting his drake rivals. And the Dragon cult and their spells were established by his descendants in collaboration with the Golden Order. Even though it's a relatively arbitrary distinction, it makes sense why Placidusax's Ruin would be categorized separately, neither cult actually developed this spell.
@@Rusty_Spy If Adula's can hang out in multiple schools, I see no reason why Placi can't be its own thing, but still piggyback off of other, already existing things. It's not like you can wear Bayle's Placidusax neck jacket to buff it, and what is the point of a spell school if not to give it a tag buffs look for
8:49 The reason Placidusax's Ruin isn't a Dragon Communion incantation despite being so similar to them, is because you don't get it from devouring his heart - it's a Remembrance item. I get the feeling that Bale's items being available from Communion is FromSoft realizing their design mistake and fixing it for the next superboss.
I love dragon communion spells, they really nailed the power fantasy with them even if they delete an entire FP bar per full channel cast and take for ever at times to cast.
The fuck you want to reset frostbite for? The damage increase from having it active makes resetting and reapplying it almost worthless if your DPS is high enough.
I might be wrong, but the winged serpent helmet only boost fireknights' skills, not incantation. Messmer's helm boosts both, and the fireknight armor boosts the incantations.
10:04 You can also facetank Consort Radahn's meteors with the full moon spells. Even if you're still casting the spell, since the meteors count as a sorcery, they disintegrate on impact witj either Renalla or Ranni's spells.
I'm at 16:47 so still have some ways to go but Bestial Vitality is a goat spell for low faith regen. And none of the heal over time regen spells scale with faith.
AND at 23:32, the category he labels Fire Monk incantations are actually "prophet" incantations. They originate from the prophecy of the Erdtree being burned. The actual Fire Monk incantations (which do have the Fire Giant signia when cast) are Whirl, O Flam!, Surge, O Flame!, Flame Cleanse Me, and Flame, Protect Me.
I am of the opinion that incantations of 'Erdtree Worship' (Erdtree ver. NEW) and 'Ancient Erdtree' incantations (Erdtree ver. OLD) Should be considered separate categories. As they have different sigils, are referenced differently in their descriptions (of 'erdtree worship' vs 'ancient erdtree'). Erdtree Worship incantations include: Golden Vow Barrier of Gold Golden Lightning Fortification Protection of the Erdtree Wrath of Gold All of the above are associated with everything during & after Golden's Order's quest of conquest. Ancient Erdtree incantations include: Wrath from Afar Heal from Afar Erdtree Heal Blessing's Boon Blessing of the Erdtree Minor Erdtree Aspect of the Crucible: Breath Aspects of the Crucible: Tail Aspects of the Crucible: Horns Aspects of the Crucible: Thorns Aspects of the Crucible: Bloom Elden Stars *Black Blade All of the above are associated with everything during & after the Erdtree's fleeting bountiful bloom & harvest (and the 2 'afar' incants I suppose; guess Messmer's purge must've happened before the 'Erdtree Worship' age?) There are also several Holy ashes of war that spawn either sigil. If Loretta incants are separated despite having the same sigil then might as well separate these too.
They should simply stay around longer, they’re very helpful for ground control allowing you to go better set ups as a mage, but they dissipate so quickly it’s not quite threatening enough to people in pvp
What on earth is this loretta's slander. They outrange everything else by a mile, and that really counts when you're trying to deal with that annoying bastard in a different zip code before you actually walk over there and let him mulch you with his 37 hit blender combo of doom.
Just want to say watching your videos has made me fall in love with elden ring all over again in it's own little funny way. Been trying out incantations for the first time now and holy lord it's so much more fun then like a non magic based build. Anyway keep up the videos I love your content!!!
Two fingers is about the worst take. b Basic low requirement damage negation buffs that give you a free 30% reduced damage for the type. These are busted due to the low requirements so if you just speck into 10 FAITH!!! which half the classes should have you get 30% reduced damage for every run
im so glad that elden ring item descriptions are infecting our minds, ive never felt so validated hearing someone say "fly in the ointment" before in my life
Rusty is the kind of really good at and dedicated to the things he likes to do that you wish you could forcefully make him channel into something else like fixing the government or solving World hunger
YeEeEeEes!!! Keep immutable shield a secret!! I be blocking the scarlet rot dragon breath, bleed builds and frost builds with no build up lol. Because the point of the spell isn’t to raise shield blocking… it BLOCKS STATUS!!!! So all u need is a fingerprint shield and boom… ur invincible
Hearing the dlc called “postgame” is weird to me because on my current run i’m doing lands of shadow as i do mountaintops of the giants content and it feels like equivalent content, where the scadu levels dont ruin your progress through the base game’s endgame, since you need to get your vit to 60 for either area. Malenia and Radahn difficultywise are actually pretty even if you factor in the nerf and dont factor in 2 years of muscle memory for those of us that were waiting for the dlc before we did our ten replaythroughs.
I absolutely love Rotten Butterflies - probably my favourite incantation in the game, alongside Discus of Light, Blessing's Boon, Black Blade, and Greyoll's Roar. The Butterflies spawn in really quickly, and then the rot buildup is insane. Sure, you will almost always take a hit, but they are going to be rotted 99% of hte time, and if you get the full cast off the animation is absolutely stunning and beautiful to behold~
In defence of the 2F incantations as someone who only plays melee having an early game low requirement boost to my defences is really helpful even into Altus.
Do you want to know how much I appreciate these videos? I don't skip the sponsor segment. I watch it. Rawdog my eyeballs and earholes on it. Out of respect.
I've been binging your videos recently and I'm 100% certain you're an AVGN fan. I think your videos are a fantastic homage to the legendary history that is AVGN. Captures a lot of the same vibe and energy
Loretta's spells were there because their range is more than double the lock on range. So you can use it to shoot guys really far away if you can aim it like crossbows in Dark Souls 1
Idk I feel like frenzied spells are good (also my favorite lore in general) but they just sold on midras spell. He has a head butt attack, a weird downpour attack, orb attack like the fire giant attack, and a Gatling gun get f’d attack. Any one of those would’ve been amazing, but nope. If the sword was like a faith deaths poked then I would have a set build forever.
Oh that’s neat to know about the black flames for DLC My first playthrough for the DLC was my black flames build 💀 Still did exceptional considering it had a nerf technically lmao
Not sure if anyone else has this happen, but on the ps4, yeah i know i need to upgrade, divine bird feathers costs 3 fp. Just the base cost and the rest of the cast is free so you can hold it as long as you have stamina
Honestly the only thing that shocked me on this list was you not separating the Stonedigger spells from the Glintstone group, would've thought you would do the semantic of splitting them just for the fact that the staff for Stonedigger singles them out specifically from the others. Same technically for Glintblade from Carian with their own separate staves, too.
One thing I've rarely seen utilized on the Full Moon sorceries is that they can cancel out any spells they come into contact with, making them a sort of offensive equivalent to Eternal Darkness
24:30 fun fact! with the flame of frenzy, and unendurable frenzy, if you aim at the floor next to the enemy, then the spread is much more choked! and you can squeeze out much, MUCH more damage than you would otherwise.
My friend uses placi-breath for everything and he uses it anywhere with a glass cannon build and it just magically works out. He kills invaders 9/10 times, he always flings small bosses, and has not had any issues with any bosses except fire giant. Him using that spell is the only reason i got through my co-op tibia summons playthrough
In Dark Souls incantations work by literally reciting the tale of the original occurrence/power of an incantation, and believing it happened. I’d assume Elden Ring incantations work the same. You reciting a dragons actions. Incoming headcannon: Placidusax’s Ruin isn’t a dragon communion incantation because he was reciting an incantation himself, one belonging to his slain god. Who wasn’t a dragon
Miquelas sorcery’s deserve to be higher just because of that ring. In my spell only dlc play through (70 int 70 fth) the moment I got it carried through the dlc only beat out by knights lightning spear in damage.
To give the loretta's sorceries some credit, they have incredible range, meaning that you can do some really stupid things with them. They are also great for farming certain areas (the room before Fia's fight with all the enemies on the roots is a perfect example).
I really enjoy your editing and script work. It's usually very concise and you don't fuck about for too long on one thing or another. Perfect vidya game content. 😊
I love the Two Fingers spells from a lore standpoint. Those and the cipher weapons are Definitive proof that the path set for the tarnished by the two fingers is impossible to tread. I consider that set of spells/equipment to be the “meager blessings” and “miserly scraps” the Tarnished fight over that Tanaith refers to in one of her dialogues.
Damn most of these comments are just ranking requests. That’s how dani was practically driven off the internet, man. Rusty, I am glad you’re still around and seem to be doing well.
I wanna say the gravity school should be third instead of the finger school because like you said the gravity school just doesn't miss. It's only suffering for a lack of support spells, and honestly I feel like if Cragblade or either version of gravity well (pull or repulsion) were gravity sorceries instead of ashes of war you would've probably given it third place since imo at least Cragblade is the best weapon buff in the game. Like you also said though the worst aspect of the gravity school is that we don't have the more reasonable spells Radahn and Gaius have. Mainly Radahn's gravity version of Glintblade phalanx imo. The only thing that could even be considered a miss for the gravity school is the meteorite staff, but that thing is more like a double edged sword than a miss. It permanently being stuck at like +21 or +22 for upgrade level is amazing in the early game and still good in the mid game. However it also basically makes it one of the worst staves by end game due to other staffs being able to hit +25 or +10 for somber staffs. Also it's kind of an obvious fact, but Rock Sling and Blades of Stone do 100% standard physical damage, but what's not obvious is that the two meteorite spells do a mix of standard physical damage and magic damage. Meanwhile Collapsing Stars, Gravity Well, and Gravitational Missile do all magic damage due to lack of rocks in them.
I honestly expected more from you than just flat out ignoring the insane range of the two Loretta sorceries ... which is pretty much the only thing they have going for them.^^
Ngl, Lorettas bow(s) are pretty useful utilities for super long range attacks. It can even hit that farming crow in Moghwyns palace. And, correct me if im wrong, but the mastery joint even has a small aoe attached. So if it hits the ground around your target it still hurts. Couldve toned down the fp cost just a bit tho
I love black flame magic, its my top pick and now I know why there was no new black flame magic in the dlc, I went through the whole dlc using black flames
I know Roar of Rugalea is ranked lower, but it has become one of my favorite incantations in the game just because of 1.13. The amount of power I feel by turning into a grizzly and killing enemies by screaming at them will always be satisfying.
I kinda like the Dragon Communion Incantations more so of how cool they look and overall damage. Yes, there's a way you can build with them. Yes, they eat your FP like a dragon(go figure). But it's cool not only to how it looks, but to a story you want to build for your character.

Magma sorceries needed a little more love. Maybe larger lava pools or they stick around longer
They should simply stay around longer, they’re very helpful for ground control allowing you to go better set ups as a mage, but they dissipate so quickly it’s not quite threatening enough to people in pvp
Or give them some physical damage and more poise damage, you're casting molten rock and it should feel like it.
What on earth is this loretta's slander. They outrange everything else by a mile, and that really counts when you're trying to deal with that annoying bastard in a different zip code before you actually walk over there and let him mulch you with his 37 hit blender combo of doom.
It's almost like the Elden Beast is using a VPN with how fast your computer changes their location
Rusty is John elden ranking
It’s a beautiful thing to see a lightning Faith setup be first place, as a dark souls fan lmao
Just want to say watching your videos has made me fall in love with elden ring all over again in it's own little funny way. Been trying out incantations for the first time now and holy lord it's so much more fun then like a non magic based build. Anyway keep up the videos I love your content!!!
Two fingers is about the worst take. b
Basic low requirement damage negation buffs that give you a free 30% reduced damage for the type. These are busted due to the low requirements so if you just speck into 10 FAITH!!! which half the classes should have you get 30% reduced damage for every run
33:04 Did they fix it? Last I tested, Electrocharge DOES NOT prevent stance regeneration and does 0 stance damage.
im so glad that elden ring item descriptions are infecting our minds, ive never felt so validated hearing someone say "fly in the ointment" before in my life
Rusty is the kind of really good at and dedicated to the things he likes to do that you wish you could forcefully make him channel into something else like fixing the government or solving World hunger
YeEeEeEes!!! Keep immutable shield a secret!! I be blocking the scarlet rot dragon breath, bleed builds and frost builds with no build up lol. Because the point of the spell isn’t to raise shield blocking… it BLOCKS STATUS!!!! So all u need is a fingerprint shield and boom… ur invincible
I'm still mad that there are no death-themed weapons that scale on Intelligence & Faith despite the Death Sorceries requiring those stats
0:30 ... hey rusty... can you rank ALL of the spells in Elden Ring
Hearing the dlc called “postgame” is weird to me because on my current run i’m doing lands of shadow as i do mountaintops of the giants content and it feels like equivalent content, where the scadu levels dont ruin your progress through the base game’s endgame, since you need to get your vit to 60 for either area. Malenia and Radahn difficultywise are actually pretty even if you factor in the nerf and dont factor in 2 years of muscle memory for those of us that were waiting for the dlc before we did our ten replaythroughs.
Very good start-up video for the "All 213 spells in Elden Ring ranked" video
I absolutely love Rotten Butterflies - probably my favourite incantation in the game, alongside Discus of Light, Blessing's Boon, Black Blade, and Greyoll's Roar. The Butterflies spawn in really quickly, and then the rot buildup is insane. Sure, you will almost always take a hit, but they are going to be rotted 99% of hte time, and if you get the full cast off the animation is absolutely stunning and beautiful to behold~
20:15 just like ranni, then.
THE ALL WEAPONS TIER LIST WHEN
He already did!!
th-cam.com/video/-XixNTEqNrE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d7AKzhClkWhvCbEQ
But we need an updated one
10:55 I love how he put such effort into a gag that lasts like 3 seconds
I will never not be upset we didn't get a single sleep spell.
The problem with sleep spells is they were SO effective, when the scholars tried to write them down, they all fell asleep!
@@JadedJasantha i know it's a joke, but we literally met St T in the dlc, have her teach them.
In defence of the 2F incantations as someone who only plays melee having an early game low requirement boost to my defences is really helpful even into Altus.
My favorite part of Flame Grant Me Strength is getting to use it on 3 attacks before it runs out.
One thing I still love about the Loretta sorceries though is their sheer range.
Do you want to know how much I appreciate these videos? I don't skip the sponsor segment. I watch it. Rawdog my eyeballs and earholes on it. Out of respect.
I've been binging your videos recently and I'm 100% certain you're an AVGN fan. I think your videos are a fantastic homage to the legendary history that is AVGN. Captures a lot of the same vibe and energy
I actually very much love Loretta spells, especially from the sheer ability to aggro larger enemies.
Loretta's spells were there because their range is more than double the lock on range. So you can use it to shoot guys really far away if you can aim it like crossbows in Dark Souls 1
Idk I feel like frenzied spells are good (also my favorite lore in general) but they just sold on midras spell. He has a head butt attack, a weird downpour attack, orb attack like the fire giant attack, and a Gatling gun get f’d attack. Any one of those would’ve been amazing, but nope. If the sword was like a faith deaths poked then I would have a set build forever.
33:11 that combo between the death knight lightning, Ledas weapon Art and death knight lightning was just badass
Removing Loretta Sorceries from the Carian spells and putting Crucible Incants under the Erdtree spells is a very weird call.
Hell yeah! Rusty ranks ranked videos!
During my magical knight play through I gained an appreciation for sorcery!
Oh that’s neat to know about the black flames for DLC
My first playthrough for the DLC was my black flames build 💀 Still did exceptional considering it had a nerf technically lmao
Nice video Rusty!
How about an arrow tier list where you rank all the arrows in the game?
love the editing style lately, it's clean as hell 👏
Not sure if anyone else has this happen, but on the ps4, yeah i know i need to upgrade, divine bird feathers costs 3 fp. Just the base cost and the rest of the cast is free so you can hold it as long as you have stamina
You said it yourself: Someone was gonna ask. You've got to rank all the spells and incantations individually now.
Honestly the only thing that shocked me on this list was you not separating the Stonedigger spells from the Glintstone group, would've thought you would do the semantic of splitting them just for the fact that the staff for Stonedigger singles them out specifically from the others. Same technically for Glintblade from Carian with their own separate staves, too.
One thing I've rarely seen utilized on the Full Moon sorceries is that they can cancel out any spells they come into contact with, making them a sort of offensive equivalent to Eternal Darkness
Rusty's videos keep getting more chaotic and I'm all for it
24:30 fun fact! with the flame of frenzy, and unendurable frenzy, if you aim at the floor next to the enemy, then the spread is much more choked! and you can squeeze out much, MUCH more damage than you would otherwise.
My friend uses placi-breath for everything and he uses it anywhere with a glass cannon build and it just magically works out. He kills invaders 9/10 times, he always flings small bosses, and has not had any issues with any bosses except fire giant. Him using that spell is the only reason i got through my co-op tibia summons playthrough
Wrong video rusty we want all toes in elden ring ranked NOW!
And don't just be ranking the foot as a whole, EACH TOE
In Dark Souls incantations work by literally reciting the tale of the original occurrence/power of an incantation, and believing it happened. I’d assume Elden Ring incantations work the same. You reciting a dragons actions.
Incoming headcannon:
Placidusax’s Ruin isn’t a dragon communion incantation because he was reciting an incantation himself, one belonging to his slain god. Who wasn’t a dragon
The golden arc incantations are my favourite spells in the entire game for aesthetic reasons. I will always use them.
I wanted a Miquellan Bewitching Incant so *so* badly...
At least the game is still a 10.
Waiting for a ranking of all scadutree fragments next.
Miquelas sorcery’s deserve to be higher just because of that ring. In my spell only dlc play through (70 int 70 fth) the moment I got it carried through the dlc only beat out by knights lightning spear in damage.
To give the loretta's sorceries some credit, they have incredible range, meaning that you can do some really stupid things with them. They are also great for farming certain areas (the room before Fia's fight with all the enemies on the roots is a perfect example).
I really enjoy your editing and script work. It's usually very concise and you don't fuck about for too long on one thing or another. Perfect vidya game content. 😊
Finally a Tierlist on spells, I been struggling to find which is the best
I love the Two Fingers spells from a lore standpoint. Those and the cipher weapons are Definitive proof that the path set for the tarnished by the two fingers is impossible to tread.
I consider that set of spells/equipment to be the “meager blessings” and “miserly scraps” the Tarnished fight over that Tanaith refers to in one of her dialogues.
Thanks!
213 spells, you say? So we can expect a 213-minute video when Rusty?
Damn most of these comments are just ranking requests. That’s how dani was practically driven off the internet, man. Rusty, I am glad you’re still around and seem to be doing well.
I wanna say the gravity school should be third instead of the finger school because like you said the gravity school just doesn't miss. It's only suffering for a lack of support spells, and honestly I feel like if Cragblade or either version of gravity well (pull or repulsion) were gravity sorceries instead of ashes of war you would've probably given it third place since imo at least Cragblade is the best weapon buff in the game. Like you also said though the worst aspect of the gravity school is that we don't have the more reasonable spells Radahn and Gaius have. Mainly Radahn's gravity version of Glintblade phalanx imo. The only thing that could even be considered a miss for the gravity school is the meteorite staff, but that thing is more like a double edged sword than a miss. It permanently being stuck at like +21 or +22 for upgrade level is amazing in the early game and still good in the mid game. However it also basically makes it one of the worst staves by end game due to other staffs being able to hit +25 or +10 for somber staffs. Also it's kind of an obvious fact, but Rock Sling and Blades of Stone do 100% standard physical damage, but what's not obvious is that the two meteorite spells do a mix of standard physical damage and magic damage. Meanwhile Collapsing Stars, Gravity Well, and Gravitational Missile do all magic damage due to lack of rocks in them.
I honestly expected more from you than just flat out ignoring the insane range of the two Loretta sorceries ... which is pretty much the only thing they have going for them.^^
A clayman is a man made of clay.
The fire knight incantations are by far the most fun to use for me, paired with the spear of the impaler to make a messmer knight build.
I love the way you write your scripts, reminds me of Shammy. Instant sub. ❤
That was more than 70 seconds, but I'll forgive you.
I will never get tired of these
Ngl, Lorettas bow(s) are pretty useful utilities for super long range attacks. It can even hit that farming crow in Moghwyns palace. And, correct me if im wrong, but the mastery joint even has a small aoe attached. So if it hits the ground around your target it still hurts. Couldve toned down the fp cost just a bit tho
Night maidens mist carried me my first like 1/3 of the game until I learned how to play
I love black flame magic, its my top pick
and now I know why there was no new black flame magic in the dlc, I went through the whole dlc using black flames
This is incredible work! You should make a vlog about the details of balancing
I know Roar of Rugalea is ranked lower, but it has become one of my favorite incantations in the game just because of 1.13. The amount of power I feel by turning into a grizzly and killing enemies by screaming at them will always be satisfying.
"Cosmic turbo syphilis"
Man I can't this one is just too good
I kinda like the Dragon Communion Incantations more so of how cool they look and overall damage. Yes, there's a way you can build with them. Yes, they eat your FP like a dragon(go figure). But it's cool not only to how it looks, but to a story you want to build for your character.
Love the sonic adventure background music. Brings me memories of playing my dreamcast.
Very interesting Rusty, very cool, now rank all of the Convergence mod magic classes.
He's got at least 37 more Vanilla ranking videos before mods (that aren't from his mod jam) get in on the lists
