The swift slash AoW is a pain to deal with, half the dlc invaders I see just spam it and have either no backup weapon or just switch to another skill to spam.
@jordanmacfarlane9114 a good majority of the invading infidels always do this unfortunately. Defeats the fun side of things, I don't know what they gain from it
Didn't run into those guys The one of guys I invaded had midra's sword and just spammed that didn't know what he did at the time but I assumed dlc. He also spammed that one dlc lightning spell
Seriously I've been running a storm caller build with the death knights longhaft axe?(Not sure if thts the name but it's the big lightning axe), fire knights great sword with flame spear, and the smithscript cirque with divine beast hoarfrost stomp and tht sword is so nice I love it. Of course I've got tht tornado incant, messmers orb, and some lightning incants
It has great damage for its weight class, the charged heavies do as much as greatswords in terms of poise. The pillars from the fire stance are also good and if you want an optimal build I recommend to have about 25 int and faith and the rest into dex (don’t forget the minimum requirements for str) You could use Rellana’s cameo for openings, dragoncrest greatshield for defence, rotten winged sword insignia (or millicent’s prosthesis for +5 dex) and finally either the magic scorpion charm or fire scorpion charm Good luck :>
@@NolanZane-g9b if u have at least 40 on int and faith it shoule be good. for me its slappin like no other weapon. but i got all my stats on 99 soooooo 😂
Probably not built around it. Kinda same here, I’m Faith/Dex/Strength. It does decent damage for me maxed out and the flame part of the ash is really good for me cause of faith scaling, the magic one has less range than I thought. But it’s pretty good
Tip: the blast from white light charge is much smaller than it seems. It only hits slightly in front of the tip of the blade and a few feet or so on the flanks and almost never anything behind your character. So if the initial charge doesn’t connect the blast most likely won’t either and that drains FP, so save yourself from eating a great hammer to the face and hit confirm the thrust:)
Swift slash also applies status build up. It’s also not a reactable attacking (you can’t dodge it on reaction unless on extremely high lag) The explosion from swift slash always flinches no matter your poise Swift slash also cannot be blocked. Well done From Software.
Star lined sword isn't an int weapon. It's dexterity weapon with useless int requirement slapped on top of it Scaling from int is abysmal even at +10, so the only correct way to build around star-lined sword is just barely enough int to wield it and the rest is in dexterity
That swift slash has killed me more in pvp in the past 2 days than anything else in the past 2 years. Screw the guys making the most ridiculous, nearly impossible to counter builds just to feel good about themselves while dogging on some casual players just trying to play the game together
Well that AoW aged well 😂 Still broken but got a debuff at least. I love fighting the same AoW back to back that can be punished heavy with a different AoW because people don’t know how to not spam a button ❤️
The classic “Make bosses harder and make OP broken weapons” Idk how people complain about this game being too hard while we have something like perfume builds.
claws of night, similarly busted, hard counters it, with a headshot on the starting animation every time and i have instakilled some people in invasions with it
Eh, Rellana’s swords are above average. The SoNaF is better in most ways, it has a ranged fire attack that enemies can’t dodge, the magic attack is much easier to use and at a longer distance. It doesn’t use as much stamina as the Rellana’s twin swords and it can be powerstanced with another straight sword for probably a moveset just as good as the light greatsword powerstancing moveset. I’m not saying Rellana’s twin swords are bad, they are great. But sword of night and flame outclasses it in most ways. Cool swords tho, fun to use.
i love meeting people who spam swift slash, because all i have to do is time my rolls and make them look like an idiot infront of the host before leaving
Instead of swift slash i would have put the rolling sparks aow or impenetrable thorns spell but i don't pvp so i don't know how they perform there otherwise all the weapons are great.
"RAKSHASA SET" is the name! (To defeat Rakshasa easily, spam the "Starcaller Cry" Ash of war on them that you get on the Great Swords from General Radahn's Remembrance in the base game.). You will also get a sweet great katana that has an unstoppable ash of war called "Weed Whacker"
Sorry to say, I was very disappointed to Rellana twin blade, that sword is a s***, I think people make confusion on style, the weapon looks amazing, but is very weak
@LW5453 Since op wants to continue the trend of being a child with questions, I'll explain instead. Scadutree fragments, go grab all of them. The DLC is scaled to YOUR level, I reccomend being around 125-150. Perfect range for not too wild pvp spam and enemies will hurt, but not as hard as 200+.
@@SerGreenleafmaybe a bit higher level so you don’t need to respec to try out a weapon every time, scadutree fragments add up quick so past level 200 isn’t bad
Ranllana was made by combining Knight Artorias' fashion and Pontiff Salyvahn's fighting style, change my mid
Yes bro 100%. Pontiff gave me the hardest time in ds3 out of all the other bosses, so i knew that style the moment i seen it 😭
@@DracoRift you're so right 😄👌
No idea how they basically brought back pontif and still made the ashe if war look stupid
And the Dancer of the Boreal Valley was like "helo"
Bruh I swear people don’t even try to spell Rellana correctly 😂
Mommy I want Waterfowl dance
Mom: We have it at home
Waterfowl at home: Swift Slash
Except not really because Waterfoul is easy to dodge in PVP, while Swift Slash is nearly broken OP.
@@OrphanSnatcher666 you can actually get swift slash off in fights though. 😅
Swift slash is literally better lol

You could try something that causes damage around you to make it harder. Or cartian retaliation on a small or medium shield works.
@@The_Defiance wait carian retaliation works against ashes of war?
Didn't run into those guys

This is without a doubt the greatest game and dlc I’ve ever played. An utterly staggering achievement.
Play more games
Either I’m not building around it right or I’m delusional, but I do not see what’s so good about rellanas twinblades
@user-oz1nu5ed3b nah your right they not really good they could use a buff but don't think it's gonna happen

“End your attack on a BLAWWWST of energy” love the accent lol
This DLC brought back the library and the Dragon Bridge nostalgia
I faced that ash of war yesterday, just use the stick and poke method to beat it if used against u, hold your shield out and spam poke with a spear
Oh boy I just got swift slash last night, can’t wait to put those on the backhand blades
With great power comes great loss of skill and brain function

Honorable mention for perfumes with the rolling sparks ash of war
I believe you’re missing a certain weapon… one involving hand-to-hand combat
Dryleaf ? Best weapon in game for me hahahaha
Bloodfiends arm is insane.
Mesmer spear is insane to and weapon art is so fast
No mention of the Fire Knight's Greatsword?
I love the star lined sword
Me and Rellenas twin blades go together like PB n J
Beast claws are my new favourite 😂👌
How many blood friends I’ve destroyed and didn’t know they dropped that weapon 😭🤣
@@317NEETz there is a specific one that is almost guaranteed drop. There are plenty of videos with the location
What’s that scythe in the frost clip Bcs it’s doing some funky moves
@@TheSuperSpud it’s ansbach weapons you get it from his body after the final fight if he helps you
The ladt weapon pick is insta countered by rellanas dance of flames
Rolling away from a meteoric greatsword either after or before the first hit is difficult

@@The-seele-simp which is why I felt incredible one-shotting someone that was using this. I simply slapped him with Carian sovereignty
@@The-seele-simp there's no way it doesn't get nerfed. I've been playing since the beginning and it makes corpse piler look like a regular kick
Nerfed btw
They just redid it, it was (still is) AIDS in pvp
I use the ancient meteoric ore greatsword before it was cool
You forget lightning perfume bottle.

to beat swift/spammers you have to have lot of poise

I think that if you mentioned swift slash you should also mention roiling sparks or scattershot, those ashes of war make bad weapons good
I have a level 25 blood backhand blade with the swift slash ash of war and 56 arcane.
Swift slash was good in pvp for a whole 21 days.
What armor is that? Looks dope
It's funny because hardly anyone writes RellAna's name correctly, "Rellena" with an E means stuffed in Spanish
lol each one of these builds have been killed by my lightning perfumer ;) come at me bro

Aint no way get got pontiff sulyvhans swords
Why are the twin blades in the top 5? Did they get a major buff last patch ?
These weapons look crazy!
I beat the dlc with the blood arm lollll after the nerf
How i use renallas twinblade ? Only do the fire spell on pc left klick mouse
Bloodfiend arm doesn't cause blood loss anymore
Thank god Swift Slash was nerfed.
The classic “Make bosses harder and make OP broken weapons”
Idk how people complain about this game being too hard while we have something like perfume builds.
Number one will always be mohg sacred spear
A 6 month multiplayer ban would not be enough of a punishment for swift slash users
Bro how is there ppl believing this does not at least get a nominee in the goty awards
In terms of how good weapons from the dlc? Pre-nerf perfume bottle rolling sparks, that shit was just that reddit 1-shot comet azur with no set-up
And swift slash is busted for pvp. Getting a nerf in the near future.

Brother you do not understand, swift slash is the only thing really on this list 😭 pray for a patch soon thats all i can say
Yeah the most broken unbalancing ever to exist like ever is unreactable and always staggers and has the most insane range ever
Also it cannot be blocked and apply status meaning that even if you somehow dodge it you still get status procs
you can parry it but with server lag good luck
