Invasions to test how effective the axe class is after patch 1.10 🎮 TWITCH ➔ / chasethebroyt 📱 DISCORD ➔ / discord 🐦 TWITTER ➔ / chasethebr0 📸 INSTAGRAM➔ / chasethebro
Did Chase remember to bring the lantern?: maybe [1 in a row] Did he use it? : Nope, even tho "its very dark. BONK" 16:46 [80 in a row] Highest count on "Remember to bring the lantern": Maybe -58-
This one in particular I agree! But he just LOVES updates that change something core to the game because then he gets to pull it apart and examine it all in detail again!
Wizards mentioned at least 4 times: 4:06 Nice cannoning Mr. Wizard 4:51 Wizard behind me 16:08 Ho-o-ly Wizard 16:24 Doesn't always need to be attacks from Wizardry Backstabs mentioned at least 10 times: 2:39 Well if this isn't a spawn 2:49 We're gonna Backstab the estus 5:24 Backtab that? Yeah, that actually a really good thing to Backstab, to be honest 8:08 Everybody gets hit by all of this, there goes gary 11:49 Ho! Oh? Malenia with a Backstab 12:26 I think they're trying to Backstab 14:19 Oh my god, is the Malenia ash of war, who got Backstabbed? 14:43 Ooh I know, I knew the Backs- 16:30 Although I kind of bonking him on the buttocks right now Bonus: 11:58 What is going on with the PVE though
you mean the crazy high damage meta. If you want good defenses you're bound to focus your defense type on whatever your opponent is using, which people won't bother
The nice thing about the warped axe is that even blood infused it still has insane strength scaling and AR so spinning slash just turns you into a heavy hitting bleed tornado.
Been having way too much fun with curved swords lately. If you do the charged r2 backflip cancel that all CS’s have, and then hit R1, you do a back step lunge attack! Never knew this. So what I’m saying is you can look like an absolute ninja and it’s actually effective, people don’t expect the range from the R1 after the backflip. I’m loving it
I was playing with thrusting swords today, and found you can do the R2 cancel, and then an L1 lunge attack if you have them powerstanced! Probably works on curved swords too
Even pre-patch, the Warped Axe and the Iron Cleaver were outstanding weapons in their class (the Warped Axe especially with it's stats somewhat resembling greataxe stats, indicating that it was originally meant to be a Greataxe). I would actually like to see what you can do with underrated options like the Hand Axe, Highland Axe, or Battle Axe.
@@bbyponk Yeah I know. Even the Highland Axe outclasses it I think. If it just did more raw damage, it would have a niche, but it's just the "regular" option with average damage and weight. So it just doesn't have anything to offer. There's a lot of weapons like that, but at least they are usually the lightest in their class. Not true for the Battle Axe.
I'm a little salty, but I've seen "We Duel Before" - that dude was ganking in that tiny room before Rykard - 3v1 and he pulls out the Mohg spear. (Sorry for the public hate mail...)
With how powerful spinning slash is now, and with other multi-ashes of war being viable, it feels a lot like the focus on combo weapons we saw in DKS3.
@@KingDerek58 Yeah and according to Steam Charts the player count is holding nice and steady realitvely to the last few months since April. A huge spike in July which is real neat. Not every patch will make everyone happy, ya gotta take bits and pieces from each one and find what makes you happy!
@@KingDerek58 That could have more to do with the lack of new content, rather than the patch itself, people are probably just logging off until the DLC drops. I mean, that’s what I’m doing.
@@KingDerek58 damn, well from what I can see it seems like the patch is pushing the gameplay closer to how it was back in DS3, I’m happy with that. I still think DS3 was the height of souls pvp so I appreciate the return to form, now if we could only get covenants back…
Axes are nice. Definitely could use fire power to complement it. However, fire incantations and magic are sometimes are not really viable, especially for non-hybrid builds, but fortunately, with little investment in faith, we have the FP-efficient, ever-scorching fire from St. Trina's torch.
love the showcase. If offered both the cut and uncut versions of your invasions i would always opt for the uncuts - i enjoy seeing the whole process even if you think it's boring stuff you cut i prefer to see things start to finish. Keep up the awesome invasions!
My last playthrough was with Greataxes and Axes and I already thought they were super underrated. Glad to hear there is now going to be more Axe bros. Also I'm not a super huge fan of PVP but it does make me happy the devs are listening to what the community wants
I wonder how many people went out of your invasions, thinking that you were cheating when their attacks went right through you during the post-summon invincibility.
Ive been so happy with this patch im actually able to pvp with a solo spear with storm assault. Do sword and board or axe and board uts been a blast ☺️
I was thinking, with the new patch making even small weapons poise break, will the Club and the Stone club work as the roll catch master bonk stick 3000 like the Reinforced Club did in DS3? I would love to see you try that out bro ♥
Did you ever confirm if the Godrick Axe ash of war true combos now? You mentioned it in the Dragon Halberd video, was hoping to see it in the axe showcase lol
I think the buff to crit damage is a nerf in tangent to dual-wield builds, since the high active frames make them easier to parry. Am I imagining that?
I’ve been enjoying using Godfrey’s axe (Not an “axe” but eh) with a light roll and the buffed r2’s hyper armor surprises a lot of people. They probably see someone shirtless and assume it’s an easy r1 spam which usually ends in a free trade for me
@@Jeremy-ff7gv In pvp sure. But it's decent for pve. That said, did catch someone tunnel visioning the host while co-oping with it and blasted them off the cliff. Is it a gimmick? Sure. But it's my gimmick xD
Do you think Dragonbolt blessing is more viable this patch against psss, ps katana, dual nagi, off-stoc? I know people will abuse lightning damage but I feel like I’m certain situations this buff really mitigates the meta. Thoughts?
I like trying out different builds but I always find I'm short on smithing stones since i started a strength build. Is there a way to farm them or will I have to suck it up and do ng+ multiple times to get the variety of weapons strength users can use leveled up? @ lvl 104 right now and thinking of stopping at 125 for the build
Lmao so there is 2 similar clips talking about axe poise damage. I forgot to cut one out 😂
Axe Axe, Poise Poise
i had to rewind to make sure i was so confused lmao
Yeah I rewind the vid confused XD
Bear, seek, seek, lest...

Wizards mentioned at least 4 times:

16:24 Doesn't always need to be attacks from Wizardry

2:39 Well if this isn't a spawn
2:49 We're gonna Backstab the estus
5:24 Backtab that? Yeah, that actually a really good thing to Backstab, to be honest
8:08 Everybody gets hit by all of this, there goes gary
11:49 Ho! Oh? Malenia with a Backstab
12:26 I think they're trying to Backstab
14:19 Oh my god, is the Malenia ash of war, who got Backstabbed?
14:43 Ooh I know, I knew the Backs-
16:30 Although I kind of bonking him on the buttocks right now
Bonus:
11:58 What is going on with the PVE though
Thank you! I really needed to know this information I really dont know what I would have done without it!
Incredible
This should be a thing for his content. The timestamps of "Wizard".
Well I’m glad someone’s keeping track
why is this so fucking funny
Another weapon class that got buffed with this patch is torches! Especially the Sainted varieties. *cough cough cough*
*STARES*
Torchpole is pretty viable now to. Not amazing but you can easily make do with it haha.
Chase is too wholesome to do it but man did that gank in the Haligtree need to be teabagged
He is not above teabagging, he did it a couple videos ago to somebody
I'm actually friends with the Gary guy. Cool guy.
@@novainsania7909 to me not giving a reaction is the most disrespect, since it feels like that person want even acknowledged which they want
@@BattleBro77 "the miniscule tea bag" XD
everytime I see the executioner's great axe I expect the ash of war to be a lightning slam
Glad to see the no-health meta still going strong in 1.10 🤣

Axes so nice, Chase highlights them twice.
I love how the last mage was providing all the light.
13:24 Seems logical from host's point of view - most invaders don't play with their food as it struggles to escape futilely.

Highland Axe Bros
battle axe is just useless when warped exists cus it gets outclassed in every way

1:49 chase: "this sometimes can be a pretty chaotic spot"
also chase, 5 sec later: *proceeds to become a deadlier threat than the chaotic spot*
"Oh, this could be a good Storm Caller moment. HELLO."
*Literally blenders the 3 of them into oblivion* lmao 🤣
Ooh! Crescent Moon Greataxe! I loved that thing even before this buff. I’d always pair it up with with the Great Epee. Those were good times.
I'm a little salty, but I've seen "We Duel Before" - that dude was ganking in that tiny room before Rykard - 3v1 and he pulls out the Mohg spear. (Sorry for the public hate mail...)

Eruption is very strong. Stuns for two and has very high HA(not sure if super armor but it does tank jumping heavys from big weapons).
It might become a really targeted meta over time, but the variety right now seems really nice.
Im really glad Chase is enjoying this new patch, I love it as well and happy to see alot of people online trying different builds
The player count is actually tanking since this patch was released

This update feels amazing. You should try out the magma blade
I love the almost DS3 level of enthusiasm lately from Chase with the new patch, makes me want to get back into pvp again.
Do you ever get that feeling of deja vu
The Stormcaller double kill (almost triple) at 2:17 was SO safisfying 😍
15:40 enters the world and blenders the host and his enemy in one ash of war. Art at it's finest.
love the showcase. If offered both the cut and uncut versions of your invasions i would always opt for the uncuts - i enjoy seeing the whole process even if you think it's boring stuff you cut i prefer to see things start to finish. Keep up the awesome invasions!
The first thing i do in the morning is prepare my breakfast and boot up the latest chasethebro video. Keep it up.
that gargoyle at the end was vicious he took the body with him to feast later
Never ceases to amaze me how so many people just go right for weapon or spell requirements, and save vigor until last. lol
My last playthrough was with Greataxes and Axes and I already thought they were super underrated. Glad to hear there is now going to be more Axe bros.
Also I'm not a super huge fan of PVP but it does make me happy the devs are listening to what the community wants
Chase: *heavy rolls*
Me: So he is human after all
I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I could really use some help from St. Trina's Torch right now.
I wonder how many people went out of your invasions, thinking that you were cheating when their attacks went right through you during the post-summon invincibility.
Great to see all these weapons be able to compete!
I’m really enjoying your vids glad you like the patch
Since poise updated, will we finally see st. Trina torch in action?
Ive been so happy with this patch im actually able to pvp with a solo spear with storm assault. Do sword and board or axe and board uts been a blast ☺️
Watching Chase absolutely spank even the gankiest of ganks does put a smile on my face.
The misbegotten at the end said “if you won’t kill him, I will” 😂
The absolute refusal of the host at the end to heal is amazing
Ive been thinking about doing a Berserker playthrough where I powerstance axes and use battle cries frequently. Now seems like as good a time as any.
Awesome video! I'd love to see a video on Reaper weapons, too!
2:20 Bro sounds like santa lol. Gotta love da bro
Try out the rosus axe, its the longest regular axe and its unique aow is actually pretty underrated
"this could be a good stormcaller moment..." I never get tired of your videos. highlight of night.
Yeah i have been really enjoying stormhawk axe and icerind hatchet
I was thinking, with the new patch making even small weapons poise break, will the Club and the Stone club work as the roll catch master bonk stick 3000 like the Reinforced Club did in DS3? I would love to see you try that out bro ♥
on NG1 i am rocking dual giant crushers with lion claw. a lot of fun stunning everything
The gank at academy gate was there all day and was a 3 man for most of that, absolute hell to fight and that host was cancerous.
Love the R2 on the iron cleaver
Would love to see a Malenia cosplay, not sure how to balance dex and faith tho
I want a chase shirt that just says "backstab?"
I love how when gary was alone chasethebro was like a shark who smelled blood in the water.
the fact that he swaps talismans everytime he uses estus is insane.
Did you ever confirm if the Godrick Axe ash of war true combos now? You mentioned it in the Dragon Halberd video, was hoping to see it in the axe showcase lol
12:00 Steel channeling all his anime powers to help you out
I think the buff to crit damage is a nerf in tangent to dual-wield builds, since the high active frames make them easier to parry. Am I imagining that?
Jesus.. the first clip.. with the storm caller..
Absolutely one of my favourite weapons in the game
2nd time I've seen Chase use the cleaver. Most underrated weapon in the game. Just for R2 alone.
My guy chase casually making the casuals cri will always be goated
I’ve been enjoying using Godfrey’s axe (Not an “axe” but eh) with a light roll and the buffed r2’s hyper armor surprises a lot of people. They probably see someone shirtless and assume it’s an easy r1 spam which usually ends in a free trade for me
Bolt of Gransax is a beauty. It slaps pretty hard and the ash of war is pretty economical for the damage it gives.
Economical way to waste fp
@@Lancer1369 not when it deals 2k+ damage.
@@Lancefh_ENVany experienced ER player can see that coming a mile away😂

I'm glad you're enjoying the game more, I missed the invasion videos.
Rivers of Blood Malenia is a thing I don't want to face even in my worst nightmares.
Cleaver is one of my fav weapons.
I’ve always thought axes were cooler than swords and this update is just what I needed .
Do you think Dragonbolt blessing is more viable this patch against psss, ps katana, dual nagi, off-stoc? I know people will abuse lightning damage but I feel like I’m certain situations this buff really mitigates the meta. Thoughts?
This is in fact a good answer to ps IMO.
man, this game looks so much cooler now!
@ChaseTheBro Do you EVER lose!? Man, love your channel/content...you're a true PVP god! :D
Do they break passive poise one handed the Stormhawk Axe in particular?
I am axing you for a st trina’s torch showcase
Always go for the BONK
That first invasion tho !!!!!!!
Read parts of the script twice there, or maybe something missed in editing lol.
Yes, doubled.
I recommend St. Trina's Torch for it is unaxepected
I heard the stormhawk axes are super strong now you should try using em. 🗿
Don’t give up Suncrusher, keep it up, wherever you are
oh damn... i didn't realize it at the time chase invaded akari, we be in a video finally lol XD
I like trying out different builds but I always find I'm short on smithing stones since i started a strength build. Is there a way to farm them or will I have to suck it up and do ng+ multiple times to get the variety of weapons strength users can use leveled up? @ lvl 104 right now and thinking of stopping at 125 for the build
Go collect all the smithing and somber stone smithing bells,then u can buy infinite amounts😉
2:14 ah thats what im here for
black knife showcase is making me falling in despair
chase is too nice I stg, That we duel before guy woulda got the dung+point down combo if I managed to kill em lmao
What tears to you use in your mixed potion bottle?
if one-handed axes are okay now i hope its Hammers turn next time to get some buffs
Yo why did that phantom in the second invasion have so much damage and health? How overleveled were they?
Dang this makes me want to do a rusty anchor run 😂
Still waiting on that Rosus' Axe showcase 😉
chase please try the barbarian roar, said its R2 is true combo
"No, heal. I want to Bonk, you see."😂😂
how did you level your character so that you can use all these builds?
This axe is great since pure strength seems kind of limited right now.
Wheres the guy that always recommends that torch?
Would love to see if the ash on Eleonora’s poleblade is any better after the recent patch
Hey Chase did you ever see that dark souls pro skater mod?
the intro deja vu
IKR, lol. That's happened throughout a few videos before.
It really confuses me that people don't invest in Vigor. Still after how long?
btw saw myself on a shadow with a giant crusher next to crystalyans lol
How's the console(PS) activity for invasions?
Chase and Gary? Hahaha!!! 😂
Poggers dude!
