Forgot to mention the Ashlands only one can be made per server Fire sword that is absolute a beast in its own category and thinking about the next Biome being the frost one it's prob going to be king there aswell. :D Also i heard if you do have a very high Bow skill that the Spinesnap can be pretty decent in Ashlands and the Arbalest is REALLY good even with minimal skill for Mistlands
@@Samaelx. Thats very true magic is the best. I would still say that frostner is still very good when arriving to the ashlands and serves as a decent backup weapon. Imagine if you do a little grind and get frostner in the swamps (very early) and still works and is usable in the endgame. Not many other things in the game can do the same
@@Samaelx. It's not obsolete in Ashlands. It is still decent weapons for the first time in Ashlands. Not as good as magic, but it's a great option for melee player that just arrived in Ashlands and doesn't use any magic in previous build.
@@Samaelx. Not really. It can take down a tweaker in 3-4 hits. It has a large attack radius and usually enough knockback+slow to make attacks miss you. You can take out groups of tweakers fairly easily if you do it right. Downsides are that it's slow compared to the mistwalker and the knockback is actually a bad thing against warriors.
The emphasis of the game on frost type weapons being useful for almost evreything makes me scared on how difficult the last biome would be and fighting against loki
You should consider the combination of the Storm Fang bow with Frost arrows. This combination causes mild knockback from the lightning and slowing from the frost, which almost immobilizes an enemy. So, with sufficient bow skill to take another shot before this wears off, you can effectively pump arrows into a target without risking a damaging attack. This combination is boosted by using the Embla's armor set that reduces attack stamina usage. Attack creatures from the high rocks around the Ashlands, so that you don't get surrounded and overwhelmed. A word of caution. The bow has relatively low durability, so that it will break sometime around the same time you empty your slot of 100 Frost arrows. Be careful not to have this happen mid-combat.
Magic really is king. They should introduce lower staff variants for early game so you can build up your magic skills by the time you hit Ash. I was able to handle Ashlands being melee, however went back and leveled magic/blood up a bit to 27 and even that does serious damage. Planning on giving some buddies ember and prot staves so they can hit the ground running with magic and be beasts by end game.
I really like the spears. For early game they are relatively easy to upgrade and have a low stamina cost. A level 2 spear and shield and 'most' of the black forest is fine to handle. The ability to throw is a boon for early deer hunting and occasionally dealing with a troll. But one feature I really like about them is that they have a quite large radius for attracting mobs. Toss one at a boar cluster and they all come to you. As well as necks. You don't have to chase them down.
I enjoyed commenting Crystal Battle Axe on every one of your community posts, and despite not seeing it on the list I am still happy that my lesser representation of an underrated weapon class was acknowledged 😊
Spears are the lowest stam per atk, and is pure pierce, which is insane for Lox and troll. It is also the cheapest to craft, the fang spear only need a few ingots. Also, given its infinitely reusable, you can stand on land and just throw it at all leeches in the swamp.
I usually have a mace/ sword (depending on weaknesses of biome) and an atgeir for crowd control. In the Ashlands I traded the mistwalker for lightning axes.
My list is not "most effective" per se, but it just works for me in basically all situations with relative comfort. So here it is. 1. Meadows - wooden club. Fast and effective, reach is good enough. 2. Black forest - same club, plus bronze axe. Sword would be better, but I can skip it, and axe is needed anyway. 3. Swamp - at this point I switch mostly on bows, while still keeping club and axe as melee weapons. 4. Mountain - silver sword is so good that I kept it even halfway through Mistlands. Of course proper buckler or round shield are essential. 5. Plains - silver sword with another shift for bows, since there are tons of arrow mats from deathskitoes which do good damage and allow easy village cleaning. 6. Mistlands - magic setup with decent blood magic level turns on easy mode, but Mistwalker is just too good and its mini-wisplight ability is extremely useful at times too. But just to free some space at some point I ditch swords and shields and leave Jotun Bane as melee backup. Same idea - you need axe anyway, and it actually does the job. Not as good as proper sword, but still. Also at this point I switch to x-bow which is perfect for long range precision shots (the only real weakness of magic build). I won't say that there are no other good weapons, but they are not as fast and handy as swords with shields. You have to pay with lower reach, or slower swing, or worse parrying, or much worse stamina usage. Some weapons just have bad hitboxes, which is extremely frustrating when fighting ticks or even bats. So yeah. Clubs-swords-axes. And magic.
Hello, @ThorneyedWT, im a big fan of yours, im living in the neighboring state, Moldova, you even inspired me to pick up on learning how to play the guitar, with your awsome playlist "bardssong" im a very old subscriber of yours! Absolutely love the videos you make and even was worried every time you weren't posting for some time,as i know the situation is difficult (the war and everything). My man, i wish you best regards, hope to see a lot of new videos and, noticing you have commented on more of this channel's videos, i see you love Valheim, so maybe, can we hope for a series of videos on your channel about this absolutely awesome game? Not to repeat myself, but i love what you doing and i think you are just great, thanks for everything 😁😊
if you shoot a lox with the arbalist itll do half its health in damage if the lox doesnt know youre there. Itll also one shot goblins that arent aware of you, or 2 shot them if they are.
Depending on how fast you're trying to beat the game there is some consideration to only use one type of weapon to max your stats as quickly as possible. I personally like using only swords past bonemass to take advantage of this
Very good point. I've been doing a lot of spears and clubs my last few runs. Between those two weapon types you effectively have every creature resistance covered and by only use two classes both end up fairly high level
Frostner is best weapon 10/10. Knocking back and slowing your enemies so you can attack them one on one without much risk of being swarmed is fantastic.
Great job, my top is tha same if be honest, medows - flint spear forest - atgier is a best choice, bronze mace is cool choice too cause skeletons very popular enemy and week to blunt(against trolls use a bow ). swamp - iron mace or sladge 100%( or go to mountains and get 30 silver by useing stagbreaker to make frostner ) Mountain - druger fang Plains - black atgier, hunt bow, frostner still good ( for boss the second best weapon ) Mistlands - staff of ember, mistwalker,honorable mention demolisher ( best weapon to enter first time is frostner ) Ashlands - it will be controversial is storm star, stop, I will explain. How comfortable u feel when fight with berserk axe against 2 star charred warrior? I suppose it's not the best experience, but if you will use mace you will just spam secondary , it will pushed a warrior back and he will never touch u, also is ability to use shield (it's shines in tough situations ), and it stan capabilities , secondary make 5x of base attack stagger, with 25% lightning which also deal stagger . Wide attack with knockback help to control croud and chain lightning will kill croud and it's safely Shorlty i want to say that the best weapon will be good in any situations berserk axe are the most fun and fast but It uncomfortable to use against strong enemy
great list! I don't think your storm star pick is too controversial. I'd probably rank that as my second best melee weapon in the ashlands only behind the storming axes
I'm currently on my first playthrough making my way through the mountains and was debating whether to use my silver for the sword or the frostner. Think I know which one to choose now!
Sledge has the added bonus of hitting the slimes and oozes out of their range so you're very unlikely to be poisoned. Can also use it in crypts to clear rooms before fully removing the iron gunk
I think I prefer the himminafl for mistlands for the crazy cc. You can spin and stun regular seekers. And for soldiers they're easy to parry with it. Other than that spot on!
@@SpazzyjonesGaming its not arguable tbh. No hate at all though, still a very useful vid. Abyssal razor is the swamp tier knife tho. The black forest tier knife is the copper knife. The meadows is the flint knife. Thats why the damage scales the way it does and why the abyssals damage is on par with swamp weapons. Even the Valheim official wiki lists it as “the equivalent to an iron tier weapon, without requiring any ore to craft”
here are a few method I use to get weapons earlier than intended 1. destroy ship wrecked boats for early finewood bow in the meadows 2. use the chair glitch to enter sunken crypts to get early iron weapons 3. use great hammer to find silver in the mountains before killing bonemass that last one is especially useful since it unlocks access to frostner before killing bonemass, before the mistlands was released bonemass was considered the hardest fight in the game, he's weak to frost and blunt damage, both of which are dealt by frostner
A bit of RNG and luck for that list. But it certainly can work. My current game is the longest its taken me to get turnips. Like Day 65 before I found a swamp with them. Trader was like day 60, but Onions were down around day 30. LOL.
Glad the Atgeir got some love in this video. Too many people stick their nose up at it. The Atgeir is definitely the best all around melee weapon in the entire game (not Frostner IMHO), excluding boss fights of course. It has awesome value from the moment you can make a bronze one and all the way to the end-game. It finally depreciates a little in the Ashlands, but is a lifesaver up to that point.
Bro, I grafted atgeir thinking it was just another spear but boy oh boy, from black forest to plains it literally carried with me it's insane range and stagger, literally nothing can get close cuz they either get staggered the first hit or staggered with the secondary attack
@@AcediaIX 100% It is the best weapon class in the game. I watch people run around shooting 50 arrows to kill a Lox. It's like, you know you can just stun lock that guy with one secondary hit and finish him with a few jabs right? Atgeir is easy mode for 80% of the game.
The only reason I prefer Frostner to an Atgeir is control. I don't need to run when fighting with Frostner as everything gets slowed. But yeah the atgeir and its AOE damage is insane. I can't blame people for liking it more. It's all about play style.
i love daggers in early game, but in plains and up they suck, their range fails at hitting the hitbox of the larger mobs like lox and soldier seeker, making it verry unreliable. i tried manny times to sneek up on lox and alt-attack them only to miss even as my face is burried in their bums. also dual vield is a bad call, dagger/buckler ftw.
@@SpazzyjonesGaming clubs work pretty much in every biome if you think about it. im also more of a tank guy than magic atm running with flametal armor on max with thundering berserkir axes. also dont forget,. porcupine has pierce and blunt damage so when doin the 2nd attack knocking back an enemy, it creates distance and if theres a resistance to either blunt or pierce one of the 2 is still gonna do damage
I barely used atgeir, back when I played more regularly. I was disappointed that the range wasn't that much better than the spear, and the alt attack consumes so much stamina. For Black Forest, I chose the sword, because nothing resists slashing damage there, and you can still pierce with the alt attack. Getting the abyssal razor early is definitely a good idea, though. I remember having fun with the stagbreaker too, though the damage ends up being low. Still it has utility, and is funny sending Greydwarves flying around with it. Aside from that I tended to stick with clubs through the next three biomes, culminating with the porcupine. I stopped playing before Mistlands came out, and haven't gotten past the Plains, but I restarted recently and am gonna see if I can make it through again. Maybe I'll try the atgeir out again, and eat stamina foods for more alt attack action.
I dont know if you are into modding the game but would love to see you or maybe give someone you know that makes videos and mods the game some new videos for modding as there seems to be a lot of the same mods and a lot of tweaking and something not working atm as i guess the Valheim modding community hasnt been fully up to date sins Ashlands released. I'm struggling to even get easy non intrusive mods to work properly
4:50 i'm sorry no the frostner is not the best option when dealing with the golems, you're best bet would be a regular iron mace or axe, simply have a leveled up shield either buckler or the other variant ( not the tower version ) and parry the golem any attack can be parried even the big attack but at the first encounter of the golem in wich you probably won't have a good shield at that point best to avoid the big attack or the golem it self . Once you've parried the golem and studied the patterns the golem becomes a complete joke of a fight and that's pretty much the case for any monsters in the game.. you can parry the abominations and trolls ( even with the club trolls variant ) ..
I agree with you there. A regular iron mace does better damage for golem smashing. Though rather than blocking I tend to dodge and then use he mace uppercut. Once you get the golem staggering it is just repeat time. (I used to jump on top and whack with the pickaxe). I think people sometimes overlook the maces high knockback for crowd control and yeeting greylings off cliffs. The uppercut works nicely in the swamps also for getting the leeches while you're safely on shore.
@@louis-philippenault8741 I always rock the bow, shield, axe and whatever weapon I am maining. Be it spear, mace, abyssal dagger or sword. I usually avoid the two handed ones simply due to their high stamina costs and movement penalties.
The best weapon in meadows by far is simple torch, after plains only magic, magic and magic. The most powerful weapon and better then axes is storm fang, so if you don't like magic, with storm fang you will annihilate pack of enemies (flying creatures also) in matter of seconds
Helpfull video as allway what can I say 😅 agree frostner is realy good but I like slash damage type more. But I see most of the mobs are not weak to slash so I gues I will have to play with blunt more
Misc question , when you roll with the spacebar , do you literally become unhittable by the enemy attack (i saw it with the spear vs the troll and with the abomination in the video)? I thought it just makes you move quicker to build up seperation...
You're invincible for the roll animation so even if it appears you are hit your physically won't take any damage. Just like dark souls if you're familiar with that series
@@SpazzyjonesGaming I unfortunately havent played any dark souls kindnof game so i didnt really know that. Thanks for the heads up , ill check it out asap
@@SpazzyjonesGaminga log troll downward smash will damage you in a roll, theres a few others as well from memory all ground smash and in a very small area
100% spot on with all of them. Though in the meadows I stick with a flint axe as a tool and weapon in one is a solid choice until I can branch out to bronze afterwards. I have made use of the spear, favouring even the knife over the spear when running a speedy build.
I like spears, the main issue i have and why i dont use it is because so many things seem to be resistent to pierce damage, where slash seems to be good against almost everything with a decent attack speed.
My issue with the spear is that it can only be used one handed and the hit box is so small. If they enabled it to be used two handed, like an atgeir attack or one handed with shield, it would be better
@@markcole5108 you can use it one handed with a shield. I think using it like a 2 handed weapon then defeats the purposes of the atgeir. Needs more vaerity. Having it one handed with a shield is pretty good i think, but yeah the hitbox is really small with it, gotto be rnose to nose to hit them
Too many people sleep on the arbalest due to its long reload and how easy it is to cancel said reload, but I legit havent killed a single enemy with my bow since getting the Arbalest. The thing has very little drop, so you can legit snipe shit as far as your render distance will let you. Along with this, the sheer amount of damage it does per shot easily cancels out its reload time. When fighting bosses like Moder or Yagluth, or fighting any other enemy in game, the arbalest easily kills things faster than draugrfang with poison or frost arrows (unless you miss a shot). A fully upgraded Arbalest does 200 damage per shot with a virtually unleveled skill (forgot the name of the skill), the spinesnap (which is better than draugr but doesnt do poison) does 70 damage per shot when its fully upgraded IF you have a LEVEL 50 bow stat. Even against enemies that are weak to spirit damage, the Arbalest is still better than even the spinesnap assuming you shoot the enemy before it notices you in order to engage it. The arbalest also requires practically 0 stamina to use, its projectiles fly straighter and faster than any bow, it basically doesnt have any drop off, and it staggers, stuns, and knocks back enemies (including large ones like the lox, doesnt knock them back but does stun). So, pretty much unless youve only been using bows up until you get to the swamp, make the arbalest and dont look back. unless being able to run and jump around between reloads is truly integral to your gameplay, theres no reason to take a bow over an arbalest. Even in the plains most enemies attacks can be avoided at a walking speed by simply walking away, walking around them, or walking diagonally. When in the mistlands I just use the arbalest to get sneak attacks off on seekers then lure them to dwarf camps. Mistlands I sincerely would never use a bow, even if thats what you prefer. The Mistlands love to test your stamina discipline, and bows are the single largest stamina consuming weapon.
I like the arbalest to open a fight. maybe a good middle ground is to take your first couple shots with the arbalest to do mega damage and then switch to the bow for higher rate of fire
@SpazzyjonesGaming fair, I'm a melee rat so I typically opened fights with the bow then switched to melee before I found the arbalest. They definitely both have their uses, but if an enemy doesn't see you the arbalest is just amazing.
Frostner is absolutely terrible vs golems, even with the blunt component... an iron mace kills them like twice as fast. For the frost caves, an atgeir is still very good for the swarms of bats or ulvs (often just 1-shotting them all with its secondary attack) and it can stagger the cultists making them easy to kill also.
i think I have to disagree with the plains and mountains, because i think running the silver sword is the best choice espacially for the plains bc of the boss
no actually. with recent footage I am capturing I have been capturing the game footage rather than the footage of my monitor so it doesn't capture the water mark :)
Unpopular opinion: I wish the crossbow was introduced earlier and at lower strengths, gaining crossword levels from mist tier to ash-lands feels very late to the game compared to the bow
Dude you should post a picture so people know which weapon you’re talking g about. I’m only in the mountains. Haven’t seen what half of these look like. Also most of the names are old Norse, so it’s a bit hard to know which one exactly you mean. No hate. Just my opinion
I think an honorable mention for the plains could be the ooze bomb. There are so many mobs in the villages you can easily get 400 to 500 damage on 1 bomb.
I was gonna say, why not just use your axe for the meadows. But using the spear for its ranged capabilities didn't even occur to me. Smart. I tend to cheese bonemass by standing on top of the skull with an iron sledge. Huh. I had no idea the huntsman bow had less noise. Man, I can't wait to get into the mistlands. The magic looks so much fun.
Nice its a nice cheese strategy for sure. yeah the hunstman is a hidden stat. Magic is a blast! Im jealous you have still to experience it for the first time!
The wraith is yeah, that's why I showed an image of the wraith when I said it. I made a mistake when recording my voiceover and tried to make a joke of it 🤣
Watching someone eat hits from charred warriors and morgen is wild. I'm playing on Very Hard and Ashlands is 'dodge or die' with every attack. Try it out sometime, it is wild. (The increased speed means you cannot run either. Good times.)
the absolute best weapon in the entire game is the lightning bow using frost arrows. You just melt everything. Even in the ashlands. himinafl or whatever its called is also gigabusted.
I would say staff of frost is objectively wrose than staff of ember in mistland unless you are dueling with wetted enemy. The lack of accuracy, long casting animation (which stop etir regeneration), lack of aoe potential and short range really hold it back aginst the staff of ember. The advantage of slow effect is easily offset by the knock back from staff of ember(SoE). Now that fire dmg can be stack, also make SoE much more efficient as well. More importantly, the SoM is the best weapon to kite enemy. When you are facing small skirmish, i think both staff can do well. But, when you are swamped by enemies, there is a clear winner.
@@oskarberg3209 exactly. Also, while you do feel good in the initial burst using SoF or slowing enemy in one on one situation. But when you etir pool run out and you are still chasing by a group of enemies. You will miss the SoE.
disagree with swamp BiS weapon...Iron Sledge IMO BiS for swamp...its AoE slam is massive for crypts and the knockback / stagger makes it a force to be reckoned with,
I have to disagree with Ashlands choices. Magic is not king of Ashlands. It is the weakest. Magic is king in Mistlands, but you really want to have mistwalker plus fire staff. That way you have AOE for ticks, and a good melee for seekers. Going into Ashlands, Mistwalker is the best choice. Once I switched out of pure magic, I was able to dominate every creature in Ashlands. The Valkyrie is the only one that floats so it's really hard to fight melee and the frost staff works really well on them. Or the bow. I hated the vine staff because the vines have a delay on attack, they have short range, and they knock back, which pushes the mobs out of range and making follow up attacks impossible. Plus they are weak and die fast. Medows - Flint spear / flint knife (Elk - fire arrows) Black Forest - Spear/knife for trolls, stagbreaker for dungeons (usually go knife because it can hit multiple greydwarves) (Elder - fire arrows / axe shield) Swamp - Bronze Mace/Axe - into Iron Mace with Iron round shield (bonemass - iron mace) MT - Iron Mace until Frostnier with Silver round shield (modder - Fire arrows) Plains - Frostnier / Bow (Yag - Frostnier) Mistlands - Frostnier early game then - Bow for Gjall, Firestaff for ticks, Mistwalker for everything else. (queen 100% fire staff full magic) Ashlands - Mistwalker no magic, get the best shield and upgrade to max. Bow for Valk.
@SpazzyjonesGaming Your choices were made pretty good, yet in my Opinion things as the Atgeirs or the Frostnir just dont kill things quick in enough in higher leveled biomes, Especially now in the Ashlands, Atgeirs lost all of their viability due to high resistance Enemys and The frostnir, Well i played with a friend and Well, every enemy he could kill withing 3 Hits, was my kill withing 2 Hits with a Regular Silver sword
Wolves are immune to spirit damage, Drakes are immune to frost AND spirit damage, Stone Golems are immune to all elemental damage,..... How on earth are you saying that Frostner is good in the mountains?! Frostner is one of the most overpowered, easymode weapons in the game,.. but that's AFTER the mountains,. not while you're in them! Legit equip an iron mace instead and watch how much quicker you kill stuff in the mountains. Baffling.
tell me what is better in the mountains? The spirit damage it does is only a portion of the damage it does in addition to blunt and frost. Plus, the slowing effect of the frost is fantastic
@@SpazzyjonesGaming Already stated in my comment,.. the iron mace. Max upgraded iron mace has a base blunt damage of 73, max upgraded frostner has a base blunt damage of 35. Half the stuff in the mountains is immune to frost damage, negating the largest part of frostners damage, and completely bypassing the slow debuff In your clip at 4:57 you're attacking a stone golem for 17 damage, because none of the frost or spirit damage is going through, and you're not applying the slow debuff. If you just use iron mace and a bow, you're solid in the mountain biome. The only creature in the entire biome that I can think of where Frostner is measurably better is the Fenring, every other creature can be killed in the same amount of time, or faster, with the iron mace.
Really....you picked the frostner as your favorite overall weapon after i just barely lost mine into the abyss of deleted digital pixels?? 😭😭 I accidently hit load world instead of load character after an askvin yeeted me into a lava field that i absolutely could not get my stuff out of. Heartbreaking to know I cant put it on my wall of favorite weapons, yeah I can make another, but its not the same one you know
People who say "hurr durr, Frostner is best weapon in game, hurr durr" must've failed 1st grade math. Look at damage numbers. Frostner deals 35 blunt/58 frost/20 spirit at max level. That's a total of 113 damage. Storm Star (flametal mace with lightning upgrade) deals 141 blunt/10 lightning, and has the added bonus of a 25% chance to deal 75 addition lightning to the target with an 80% chance to jump to nearby enemies. Even ignoring that lightning effect, Storm Star deals 151 damage to Frostner's 113. Even taking into account the 50% bonus to spirit damage taken by Charred enemies in the Ashlands, the Frostner isn't even comparable. And the slow effect from the frost damage, while nice, is also quite negligible, as the chain lightning effect counts as a separate damage instance for purposes of stagger, and/or just has a much higher stagger modifier than normal attacks, resulting in ABSURD chance to stagger enemies, to the point where you shouldn't even be able to appreciate the loss of the slow effect in the face of the absolutely crushing increase in damage that you get from a far superior weapon plus the bonus damage taken by staggered enemies. In short: don't use Frostner in Ashlands. It's a trap. If you like maces, get the Storm Star.
I mean you're just stating the obvious. I'm approaching it from the angle of how impressive it is that a weapon from the Mountains is still viable 3 biomes later. Naturally you get better weapons as you progress with the latest biome giving the best weapons. But, the pure fact that you can enter the ashlands and hold your own with a weapon from a 3 biome prior weapon speaks to how good of a weapon it is
@@SpazzyjonesGaming the problem is that you're not the only one making these claims, amd it got to a point where I figured I must be missing something and tried it out for myself only to find that it wildly underperformed compared to even the Mistwalker (granted, that may have simply been because my sword skill is higher than my club at this point).
Thats my bad. They were correct and then I ended up trimming the first 30seconds or so off the video after upload. I have now fixed this. Sorry about that!

Downsides are that it's slow compared to the mistwalker and the knockback is actually a bad thing against warriors.
honorable mention for the torch in super early game
honestly true. if it didn't burn out to quickly it would be unmatched early game
I love that you’re still doing Valheim content, great job man
Appreciate you my man! I love this game and making content for it!
The emphasis of the game on frost type weapons being useful for almost evreything makes me scared on how difficult the last biome would be and fighting against loki
you have good reason to be scared haha
Durnwyn might become a very good weapon there.
You should consider the combination of the Storm Fang bow with Frost arrows. This combination causes mild knockback from the lightning and slowing from the frost, which almost immobilizes an enemy. So, with sufficient bow skill to take another shot before this wears off, you can effectively pump arrows into a target without risking a damaging attack. This combination is boosted by using the Embla's armor set that reduces attack stamina usage. Attack creatures from the high rocks around the Ashlands, so that you don't get surrounded and overwhelmed. A word of caution. The bow has relatively low durability, so that it will break sometime around the same time you empty your slot of 100 Frost arrows. Be careful not to have this happen mid-combat.
I'll definitely give that a shot!
Magic really is king. They should introduce lower staff variants for early game so you can build up your magic skills by the time you hit Ash. I was able to handle Ashlands being melee, however went back and leveled magic/blood up a bit to 27 and even that does serious damage. Planning on giving some buddies ember and prot staves so they can hit the ground running with magic and be beasts by end game.
I agree. Magic is so strong! I would like earlier staves for sure. I wonder how they would balance them for the biomes
@@SpazzyjonesGaming why make staffs? why not wands as early game magic :P

FINALLY, someone that actually gives some credit to the flint spear, thanks you sir
i slept on it for so long but now im obsessed!
I really like the spears. For early game they are relatively easy to upgrade and have a low stamina cost. A level 2 spear and shield and 'most' of the black forest is fine to handle. The ability to throw is a boon for early deer hunting and occasionally dealing with a troll.
But one feature I really like about them is that they have a quite large radius for attracting mobs. Toss one at a boar cluster and they all come to you. As well as necks. You don't have to chase them down.
I love using the Skoll and Hati in Mistlands

Spears are the lowest stam per atk, and is pure pierce, which is insane for Lox and troll. It is also the cheapest to craft, the fang spear only need a few ingots.
Also, given its infinitely reusable, you can stand on land and just throw it at all leeches in the swamp.
spears are busted 100%
I usually have a mace/ sword (depending on weaknesses of biome) and an atgeir for crowd control. In the Ashlands I traded the mistwalker for lightning axes.
smart. having multiple weapons to work around resistances is great
My list is not "most effective" per se, but it just works for me in basically all situations with relative comfort. So here it is.
1. Meadows - wooden club. Fast and effective, reach is good enough.
2. Black forest - same club, plus bronze axe. Sword would be better, but I can skip it, and axe is needed anyway.
3. Swamp - at this point I switch mostly on bows, while still keeping club and axe as melee weapons.
4. Mountain - silver sword is so good that I kept it even halfway through Mistlands. Of course proper buckler or round shield are essential.
5. Plains - silver sword with another shift for bows, since there are tons of arrow mats from deathskitoes which do good damage and allow easy village cleaning.
6. Mistlands - magic setup with decent blood magic level turns on easy mode, but Mistwalker is just too good and its mini-wisplight ability is extremely useful at times too. But just to free some space at some point I ditch swords and shields and leave Jotun Bane as melee backup. Same idea - you need axe anyway, and it actually does the job. Not as good as proper sword, but still.
Also at this point I switch to x-bow which is perfect for long range precision shots (the only real weakness of magic build).
I won't say that there are no other good weapons, but they are not as fast and handy as swords with shields. You have to pay with lower reach, or slower swing, or worse parrying, or much worse stamina usage. Some weapons just have bad hitboxes, which is extremely frustrating when fighting ticks or even bats. So yeah. Clubs-swords-axes. And magic.
makes sense. Your logic is sound. The beauty of valheim is how fun and versatile the weapons are. You can use any weapon you want and do well
@@SpazzyjonesGaming yep, even bad weapons can be fun. And all in all we play exactly for that. Fun.
Judging by context clues, I am now aware jotun blade is an axe
Hello, @ThorneyedWT, im a big fan of yours, im living in the neighboring state, Moldova, you even inspired me to pick up on learning how to play the guitar, with your awsome playlist "bardssong" im a very old subscriber of yours!
Absolutely love the videos you make and even was worried every time you weren't posting for some time,as i know the situation is difficult (the war and everything).
My man, i wish you best regards, hope to see a lot of new videos and, noticing you have commented on more of this channel's videos, i see you love Valheim, so maybe, can we hope for a series of videos on your channel about this absolutely awesome game?
Not to repeat myself, but i love what you doing and i think you are just great, thanks for everything 😁😊
I love iron mace in the mountains, because the biggest problem here is the stone golem. Iron mace is the best solution before the next biome
Man your video quality is super high. I hope your channel grows super fast. Please keep it up!
Thanks dude!
Thanks for the info man just jumped back in to valheim cant wait to try those wepons and get into the mistlands and ashlands
Anytime my friend! Enjoy the journey!
the easiest way to kill a lox is with a weapon that swings downward you can just jump on its back and wail on it until it dies
i dont know if Ive ever jumped on their backs
@@SpazzyjonesGaming you just have to jump to avoid its stomp attack but its otherwise pretty easy
if you shoot a lox with the arbalist itll do half its health in damage if the lox doesnt know youre there. Itll also one shot goblins that arent aware of you, or 2 shot them if they are.
@@atheonbanan1518 really strong sneak attacks ya
Depending on how fast you're trying to beat the game there is some consideration to only use one type of weapon to max your stats as quickly as possible. I personally like using only swords past bonemass to take advantage of this
Very good point. I've been doing a lot of spears and clubs my last few runs. Between those two weapon types you effectively have every creature resistance covered and by only use two classes both end up fairly high level
Nice video. That info about the huntsman bow is such a game changer. Thank you for posting this!
oh yeah! its super underrated. Great in the plains. Glad you enjoyed!
Frostner is best weapon 10/10. Knocking back and slowing your enemies so you can attack them one on one without much risk of being swarmed is fantastic.
totally agree
the porcupine has always been my go to pretty much to the end game. but might look at those thunder axes and the mistwalker.
Porcupine is a great weapon though for sure
@@SpazzyjonesGaming porcupine feels cheeks compared to its og version
@@bearpowder8807 look how they massacred my boy!
Thanks a lot for making the guide, keep the great content running.
Thanks Travis! I absolutely will
Just got to the mountains, been reeeaaaally liking the crystal battleaxe
Wow! I'm not a big axe fella
@@SpazzyjonesGaming yeah it’s honestly not such a great weapon but i like the look and swinging it at greydwarfs
Great job, my top is tha same if be honest,
medows - flint spear
forest - atgier is a best choice, bronze mace is cool choice too cause skeletons very popular enemy and week to blunt(against trolls use a bow ).
swamp - iron mace or sladge 100%( or go to mountains and get 30 silver by useing stagbreaker to make frostner )
Mountain - druger fang
Plains - black atgier, hunt bow, frostner still good ( for boss the second best weapon )
Mistlands - staff of ember, mistwalker,honorable mention demolisher ( best weapon to enter first time is frostner )
Ashlands - it will be controversial is storm star, stop, I will explain. How comfortable u feel when fight with berserk axe against 2 star charred warrior? I suppose it's not the best experience, but if you will use mace you will just spam secondary , it will pushed a warrior back and he will never touch u, also is ability to use shield (it's shines in tough situations ), and it stan capabilities , secondary make 5x of base attack stagger, with 25% lightning which also deal stagger . Wide attack with knockback help to control croud and chain lightning will kill croud and it's safely
Shorlty i want to say that the best weapon will be good in any situations
berserk axe are the most fun and fast but It uncomfortable to use against strong enemy
great list! I don't think your storm star pick is too controversial. I'd probably rank that as my second best melee weapon in the ashlands only behind the storming axes
I'm currently on my first playthrough making my way through the mountains and was debating whether to use my silver for the sword or the frostner. Think I know which one to choose now!
Yessir! enjoy your adventure!
I didn't like the mace in the swamp and soon switched to the Sledge. Love the aoe stagger of those two-hander hammers 😉
Nice! as long as you're doing blunt damage you'll do well in the swamp
Sledge has the added bonus of hitting the slimes and oozes out of their range so you're very unlikely to be poisoned. Can also use it in crypts to clear rooms before fully removing the iron gunk
I think I prefer the himminafl for mistlands for the crazy cc. You can spin and stun regular seekers. And for soldiers they're easy to parry with it. Other than that spot on!
atgeirs are just SO good
man this guy's videos are so good ngl
Thanks Amir!
@@SpazzyjonesGaming ❤
Abyssal Razor is an intended swamp tier weapon. Copper knife is the black forest tier knife
I mean its arguable where its "intended' I think
@@SpazzyjonesGaming its not arguable tbh. No hate at all though, still a very useful vid. Abyssal razor is the swamp tier knife tho. The black forest tier knife is the copper knife. The meadows is the flint knife. Thats why the damage scales the way it does and why the abyssals damage is on par with swamp weapons. Even the Valheim official wiki lists it as “the equivalent to an iron tier weapon, without requiring any ore to craft”
The best Weapon for the plains is an army of tamed 2 Star wolves
very effective
Meadows - Club and Crude Bow
Black Forest - Upgraded Club/Bronze Axe and Finewood Bow
Swamp - Iron Mace/Bronze Axe Upgraded Finewood Bow (skip huntsman bow)
Mountain - Frostner/Iron Axe Draugr Fang
Plains - Upgraded Frostner/Blackmetal Axe Upgraded Draugr Fang
Mistlands - Mistwalker/Blackmetal Axe Upgraded Draugr Fang or the new Bow
nice list. Have you played the ashlands yet?
@ not yet, but that’s what my new world is working towards now!
@@rhett3185 enjoy it!
I just killed my first stone golem, frostner paired with the silver shield it was almost as easy as fighting a troll with that combo
nice!
here are a few method I use to get weapons earlier than intended
1. destroy ship wrecked boats for early finewood bow in the meadows
2. use the chair glitch to enter sunken crypts to get early iron weapons
3. use great hammer to find silver in the mountains before killing bonemass
that last one is especially useful since it unlocks access to frostner before killing bonemass, before the mistlands was released bonemass was considered the hardest fight in the game, he's weak to frost and blunt damage, both of which are dealt by frostner
good tips
A bit of RNG and luck for that list. But it certainly can work. My current game is the longest its taken me to get turnips. Like Day 65 before I found a swamp with them. Trader was like day 60, but Onions were down around day 30. LOL.
Glad the Atgeir got some love in this video. Too many people stick their nose up at it. The Atgeir is definitely the best all around melee weapon in the entire game (not Frostner IMHO), excluding boss fights of course. It has awesome value from the moment you can make a bronze one and all the way to the end-game. It finally depreciates a little in the Ashlands, but is a lifesaver up to that point.
I love atgeirs too my man as evident in the video. its a shame we don't get a new one in the ashlands. tragic!
Bro, I grafted atgeir thinking it was just another spear but boy oh boy, from black forest to plains it literally carried with me it's insane range and stagger, literally nothing can get close cuz they either get staggered the first hit or staggered with the secondary attack
@@AcediaIX 100% It is the best weapon class in the game. I watch people run around shooting 50 arrows to kill a Lox. It's like, you know you can just stun lock that guy with one secondary hit and finish him with a few jabs right? Atgeir is easy mode for 80% of the game.
@@AcediaIX oh not! it is far from a spear. Atgeirs are awesome!
The only reason I prefer Frostner to an Atgeir is control. I don't need to run when fighting with Frostner as everything gets slowed. But yeah the atgeir and its AOE damage is insane. I can't blame people for liking it more. It's all about play style.
skoll and hati is so goated
daggers are a blast
i love daggers in early game, but in plains and up they suck, their range fails at hitting the hitbox of the larger mobs like lox and soldier seeker, making it verry unreliable. i tried manny times to sneek up on lox and alt-attack them only to miss even as my face is burried in their bums. also dual vield is a bad call, dagger/buckler ftw.
Meadows: club
Black Forest: Club
Swamp: Bronze Club
Mountain: Frostner
Plains: Porcupine
Mistlands: Mistwalker
Ashlands: Thundering Berserkir Axes
Eikthyr: Crude bow [fire-arrow]
Elder: Finewood bow [fire-arrow]
Bonemass: Frostner
Moder: Draugr Fang + Iron Mace [poison-arrow]
Yagluth: Frostner
Queen: Mistwalker
Fader: Thundering Berserkir Axes
nice picks. Definitely a big club guy. makes sense, clubs are excellent
@@SpazzyjonesGaming clubs work pretty much in every biome if you think about it. im also more of a tank guy than magic atm running with flametal armor on max with thundering berserkir axes. also dont forget,. porcupine has pierce and blunt damage so when doin the 2nd attack knocking back an enemy, it creates distance and if theres a resistance to either blunt or pierce one of the 2 is still gonna do damage
I barely used atgeir, back when I played more regularly. I was disappointed that the range wasn't that much better than the spear, and the alt attack consumes so much stamina. For Black Forest, I chose the sword, because nothing resists slashing damage there, and you can still pierce with the alt attack. Getting the abyssal razor early is definitely a good idea, though. I remember having fun with the stagbreaker too, though the damage ends up being low. Still it has utility, and is funny sending Greydwarves flying around with it.
Aside from that I tended to stick with clubs through the next three biomes, culminating with the porcupine. I stopped playing before Mistlands came out, and haven't gotten past the Plains, but I restarted recently and am gonna see if I can make it through again.
Maybe I'll try the atgeir out again, and eat stamina foods for more alt attack action.
Give it another go! I love atgeirs. Fortunately, almost all weapon types are viable so you can choose your fav
Thx for your video ;)
No problem! 😃
Great video bro. Youre a content making beast! Hahahaha
Thanks Blast! that means a lot!
I dont know if you are into modding the game but would love to see you or maybe give someone you know that makes videos and mods the game some new videos for modding as there seems to be a lot of the same mods and a lot of tweaking and something not working atm as i guess the Valheim modding community hasnt been fully up to date sins Ashlands released. I'm struggling to even get easy non intrusive mods to work properly
I haven't messed around with mods much myself but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in doing mod related videos in the future
4:50 i'm sorry no the frostner is not the best option when dealing with the golems, you're best bet would be a regular iron mace or axe, simply have a leveled up shield either buckler or the other variant ( not the tower version ) and parry the golem any attack can be parried even the big attack but at the first encounter of the golem in wich you probably won't have a good shield at that point best to avoid the big attack or the golem it self . Once you've parried the golem and studied the patterns the golem becomes a complete joke of a fight and that's pretty much the case for any monsters in the game.. you can parry the abominations and trolls ( even with the club trolls variant ) ..
true i think you're right with the stone golems resistances to frost and spirit
I agree with you there. A regular iron mace does better damage for golem smashing. Though rather than blocking I tend to dodge and then use he mace uppercut. Once you get the golem staggering it is just repeat time. (I used to jump on top and whack with the pickaxe). I think people sometimes overlook the maces high knockback for crowd control and yeeting greylings off cliffs. The uppercut works nicely in the swamps also for getting the leeches while you're safely on shore.
@@sociallyferal4237 yeah IMO the pickaxe was not worth it but the mace and axes were probably the best weapons for both these BIOMES TBH..
@@louis-philippenault8741 I always rock the bow, shield, axe and whatever weapon I am maining. Be it spear, mace, abyssal dagger or sword. I usually avoid the two handed ones simply due to their high stamina costs and movement penalties.
@@sociallyferal4237 True 2 handed weapons are not really an option and are awkward in this game
real best weapons meadows flint axe. black forest bronze sword / abyssal razor. swamp iron sledge / iron mace. mountains frostner / silver sword. plains porcupine. mistlands mistwalker / skoll and hati / himminafl. ashlands thundering berserkir axes
All your choices are great, I can't complain about any of them
The best weapon in meadows by far is simple torch, after plains only magic, magic and magic. The most powerful weapon and better then axes is storm fang, so if you don't like magic, with storm fang you will annihilate pack of enemies (flying creatures also) in matter of seconds
yeah the bows are crazy good with the infused gems
what if I leveled maces and have no sword skill i is mistwalker better than porcupine?
id probably lean into the skill you've been leveling. A much higher skill can make quite a big difference
Frostner still works in Ashlands. Good Ol Reliable.
goated
From my experience, the spear would've been a perfect weapon were it not for it's wonky attack animation.
agreed
Frostner is ol' reliable. You CAN use other weapons and diversify your playstyle, or you can smash with hammer.
agreed
Helpfull video as allway what can I say 😅 agree frostner is realy good but I like slash damage type more. But I see most of the mobs are not weak to slash so I gues I will have to play with blunt more
thanks santa! glad you found it helpful. Slash is a great source of damage because you're right, very few creatures are resistance to slash
Love the Valheim content!
Thank you so much!
Misc question , when you roll with the spacebar , do you literally become unhittable by the enemy attack (i saw it with the spear vs the troll and with the abomination in the video)? I thought it just makes you move quicker to build up seperation...
You're invincible for the roll animation so even if it appears you are hit your physically won't take any damage.
Just like dark souls if you're familiar with that series
@@SpazzyjonesGaming I unfortunately havent played any dark souls kindnof game so i didnt really know that. Thanks for the heads up , ill check it out asap
@@ELITE-xn3sh no worries. Really helps in combat once you get a feel for it
@@SpazzyjonesGaminga log troll downward smash will damage you in a roll, theres a few others as well from memory all ground smash and in a very small area
@@moz7526 for real? i have not noticed
100% spot on with all of them. Though in the meadows I stick with a flint axe as a tool and weapon in one is a solid choice until I can branch out to bronze afterwards. I have made use of the spear, favouring even the knife over the spear when running a speedy build.
glad to hear a veteran player like you and I are aligned!
Just got back into Valheim after the macOS release and have been binging your content (up to a certain point to avoid getting spoiled) - good stuff m8
Thanks so much! I'm glad the mac update brought in some new players
I just posted my first Valheim video ever, if you could let me know what you think about it I would highly appreciate it, any feedback is welcome!!
am i the only one that went from swamp to plains? (i only went to the plains for cloudberries and getting some barley by "raiding" fuling camps)
oh wow!
I like spears, the main issue i have and why i dont use it is because so many things seem to be resistent to pierce damage, where slash seems to be good against almost everything with a decent attack speed.
yeah pierce is the weakest physical damage. so many skeletal enemies in the game
My issue with the spear is that it can only be used one handed and the hit box is so small. If they enabled it to be used two handed, like an atgeir attack or one handed with shield, it would be better
@@markcole5108 the hit box is brutal! i agree, two handed would be a real nice touch
@@markcole5108 you can use it one handed with a shield. I think using it like a 2 handed weapon then defeats the purposes of the atgeir. Needs more vaerity. Having it one handed with a shield is pretty good i think, but yeah the hitbox is really small with it, gotto be rnose to nose to hit them
I just posted my first Valheim video ever, if you could let me know what you think about it I would highly appreciate it, any feedback is welcome!
Too many people sleep on the arbalest due to its long reload and how easy it is to cancel said reload, but I legit havent killed a single enemy with my bow since getting the Arbalest.
The thing has very little drop, so you can legit snipe shit as far as your render distance will let you. Along with this, the sheer amount of damage it does per shot easily cancels out its reload time. When fighting bosses like Moder or Yagluth, or fighting any other enemy in game, the arbalest easily kills things faster than draugrfang with poison or frost arrows (unless you miss a shot).
A fully upgraded Arbalest does 200 damage per shot with a virtually unleveled skill (forgot the name of the skill), the spinesnap (which is better than draugr but doesnt do poison) does 70 damage per shot when its fully upgraded IF you have a LEVEL 50 bow stat. Even against enemies that are weak to spirit damage, the Arbalest is still better than even the spinesnap assuming you shoot the enemy before it notices you in order to engage it. The arbalest also requires practically 0 stamina to use, its projectiles fly straighter and faster than any bow, it basically doesnt have any drop off, and it staggers, stuns, and knocks back enemies (including large ones like the lox, doesnt knock them back but does stun).
So, pretty much unless youve only been using bows up until you get to the swamp, make the arbalest and dont look back. unless being able to run and jump around between reloads is truly integral to your gameplay, theres no reason to take a bow over an arbalest. Even in the plains most enemies attacks can be avoided at a walking speed by simply walking away, walking around them, or walking diagonally. When in the mistlands I just use the arbalest to get sneak attacks off on seekers then lure them to dwarf camps.
Mistlands I sincerely would never use a bow, even if thats what you prefer. The Mistlands love to test your stamina discipline, and bows are the single largest stamina consuming weapon.
I like the arbalest to open a fight. maybe a good middle ground is to take your first couple shots with the arbalest to do mega damage and then switch to the bow for higher rate of fire
@SpazzyjonesGaming fair, I'm a melee rat so I typically opened fights with the bow then switched to melee before I found the arbalest. They definitely both have their uses, but if an enemy doesn't see you the arbalest is just amazing.
@ totally!
Frostner is absolutely terrible vs golems, even with the blunt component... an iron mace kills them like twice as fast. For the frost caves, an atgeir is still very good for the swarms of bats or ulvs (often just 1-shotting them all with its secondary attack) and it can stagger the cultists making them easy to kill also.
ya i think you;'re right
i think I have to disagree with the plains and mountains, because i think running the silver sword is the best
choice espacially for the plains bc of the boss
No worries. I respect your choice!
First true threat then forgets that idea to sell mace boss fights are not really dangerous since you fight them prepared.
always easier when you're prepared
There is so much in this game and here am i stuck in bronze age

I was gonna say, why not just use your axe for the meadows. But using the spear for its ranged capabilities didn't even occur to me. Smart.
I tend to cheese bonemass by standing on top of the skull with an iron sledge.
Huh. I had no idea the huntsman bow had less noise.

Spirit first flying enemy?
The wraith is yeah, that's why I showed an image of the wraith when I said it. I made a mistake when recording my voiceover and tried to make a joke of it 🤣
funny choice in every biome ;-)
what are your picks?
Sword is the best weapon for every biome, Mistwalker is more powerful than nidhogg in asslands as well.
swords can be great, especially the mistwalker. But, i disagree that they're ALWAYS the best
mistwalker is worse than maxed out silver sword in the ashlands because of stamina usage
you might have a point. 4 stamina per swing is a big difference. no freezing effect from the silver sword though
Watching someone eat hits from charred warriors and morgen is wild. I'm playing on Very Hard and Ashlands is 'dodge or die' with every attack. Try it out sometime, it is wild. (The increased speed means you cannot run either. Good times.)
Oh man! I am doing a very hard run now but I'm still far from the Ashlands. Good luck my friend
the absolute best weapon in the entire game is the lightning bow using frost arrows. You just melt everything. Even in the ashlands.
himinafl or whatever its called is also gigabusted.
i can't argue with that
I would say staff of frost is objectively wrose than staff of ember in mistland unless you are dueling with wetted enemy.
The lack of accuracy, long casting animation (which stop etir regeneration), lack of aoe potential and short range really hold it back aginst the staff of ember.
The advantage of slow effect is easily offset by the knock back from staff of ember(SoE). Now that fire dmg can be stack, also make SoE much more efficient as well. More importantly, the SoM is the best weapon to kite enemy.
When you are facing small skirmish, i think both staff can do well. But, when you are swamped by enemies, there is a clear winner.
100% agree, staff of frost is really overhyped imo UNLESS you can kite to water.
@@oskarberg3209 exactly.
Also, while you do feel good in the initial burst using SoF or slowing enemy in one on one situation. But when you etir pool run out and you are still chasing by a group of enemies. You will miss the SoE.
yeah thats fair. Both are good IMO and in a lot of ways Embers is more fun. hard to argue with your logic
disagree with swamp BiS weapon...Iron Sledge IMO BiS for swamp...its AoE slam is massive for crypts and the knockback / stagger makes it a force to be reckoned with,
thats fair. As long as you're doing blunt you'll be just fine
I have to disagree with Ashlands choices. Magic is not king of Ashlands. It is the weakest. Magic is king in Mistlands, but you really want to have mistwalker plus fire staff. That way you have AOE for ticks, and a good melee for seekers. Going into Ashlands, Mistwalker is the best choice. Once I switched out of pure magic, I was able to dominate every creature in Ashlands. The Valkyrie is the only one that floats so it's really hard to fight melee and the frost staff works really well on them. Or the bow. I hated the vine staff because the vines have a delay on attack, they have short range, and they knock back, which pushes the mobs out of range and making follow up attacks impossible. Plus they are weak and die fast.
Medows - Flint spear / flint knife (Elk - fire arrows)
Black Forest - Spear/knife for trolls, stagbreaker for dungeons (usually go knife because it can hit multiple greydwarves) (Elder - fire arrows / axe shield)
Swamp - Bronze Mace/Axe - into Iron Mace with Iron round shield (bonemass - iron mace)
MT - Iron Mace until Frostnier with Silver round shield (modder - Fire arrows)
Plains - Frostnier / Bow (Yag - Frostnier)
Mistlands - Frostnier early game then - Bow for Gjall, Firestaff for ticks, Mistwalker for everything else. (queen 100% fire staff full magic)
Ashlands - Mistwalker no magic, get the best shield and upgrade to max. Bow for Valk.
I just about agree with you across the board but I gotta stand with my magic in the Ashlands! 👊
@@SpazzyjonesGaming having your magic leveled is key. Same with bow. If the magic is low level, then it cant reach it's full potential.
@@InfestedChris agreed
Masterpiece
thanks dude!
Feels like youre Fanboying the Atgeirs all the time, dont get me wrong, amazing looking weapon still not the best in my opinion
i don't know. i think my choices are pretty varied across the biomes
@SpazzyjonesGaming Your choices were made pretty good, yet in my Opinion things as the Atgeirs or the Frostnir just dont kill things quick in enough in higher leveled biomes, Especially now in the Ashlands, Atgeirs lost all of their viability due to high resistance Enemys and The frostnir, Well i played with a friend and Well, every enemy he could kill withing 3 Hits, was my kill withing 2 Hits with a Regular Silver sword
Wouldn't a silver atgeir with frost damage be the bomb.... ah, well...
a tragic miss!
No wood club?
grug no happy
wood club is great. Its usually the first weapon i craft and then the flint spear after getting flint. Its a close second for me
we need more fist weapons.
I agree. I have heard one will be added in the Deep North
Wolves are immune to spirit damage, Drakes are immune to frost AND spirit damage, Stone Golems are immune to all elemental damage,.....
How on earth are you saying that Frostner is good in the mountains?!
Frostner is one of the most overpowered, easymode weapons in the game,.. but that's AFTER the mountains,. not while you're in them!
Legit equip an iron mace instead and watch how much quicker you kill stuff in the mountains.
Baffling.
tell me what is better in the mountains? The spirit damage it does is only a portion of the damage it does in addition to blunt and frost. Plus, the slowing effect of the frost is fantastic
@@SpazzyjonesGaming Already stated in my comment,.. the iron mace.
Max upgraded iron mace has a base blunt damage of 73, max upgraded frostner has a base blunt damage of 35.
Half the stuff in the mountains is immune to frost damage, negating the largest part of frostners damage, and completely bypassing the slow debuff
In your clip at 4:57 you're attacking a stone golem for 17 damage, because none of the frost or spirit damage is going through, and you're not applying the slow debuff.
If you just use iron mace and a bow, you're solid in the mountain biome.
The only creature in the entire biome that I can think of where Frostner is measurably better is the Fenring, every other creature can be killed in the same amount of time, or faster, with the iron mace.
Lol the frostner yet deall too less damage in the higher biomes. That's how the game works.
yeah the damage does drop off. I was STILL using in the ashlands though a bit, believe it or not. the knockback and freezing effect are great
Bro forgot about parrying
parrying is OP
If your talking about the stone golem he probably didn't have a high enough level to parry it
LoL Poor wraith, no you are not a joke. Just a pain in the tail to farm for chains and trophy.
appreciate that Rusty! I completely forgot about the wraith and decided to make a joke out of it
I stuck in black forest
no!
Really....you picked the frostner as your favorite overall weapon after i just barely lost mine into the abyss of deleted digital pixels?? 😭😭 I accidently hit load world instead of load character after an askvin yeeted me into a lava field that i absolutely could not get my stuff out of. Heartbreaking to know I cant put it on my wall of favorite weapons, yeah I can make another, but its not the same one you know
tragic!
I’m loving the game but I find a lot of things to be asinine and dumb. Also the grey dwarves are annoying as hell.
very good
People who say "hurr durr, Frostner is best weapon in game, hurr durr" must've failed 1st grade math. Look at damage numbers. Frostner deals 35 blunt/58 frost/20 spirit at max level. That's a total of 113 damage. Storm Star (flametal mace with lightning upgrade) deals 141 blunt/10 lightning, and has the added bonus of a 25% chance to deal 75 addition lightning to the target with an 80% chance to jump to nearby enemies. Even ignoring that lightning effect, Storm Star deals 151 damage to Frostner's 113. Even taking into account the 50% bonus to spirit damage taken by Charred enemies in the Ashlands, the Frostner isn't even comparable. And the slow effect from the frost damage, while nice, is also quite negligible, as the chain lightning effect counts as a separate damage instance for purposes of stagger, and/or just has a much higher stagger modifier than normal attacks, resulting in ABSURD chance to stagger enemies, to the point where you shouldn't even be able to appreciate the loss of the slow effect in the face of the absolutely crushing increase in damage that you get from a far superior weapon plus the bonus damage taken by staggered enemies. In short: don't use Frostner in Ashlands. It's a trap. If you like maces, get the Storm Star.
I mean you're just stating the obvious. I'm approaching it from the angle of how impressive it is that a weapon from the Mountains is still viable 3 biomes later. Naturally you get better weapons as you progress with the latest biome giving the best weapons. But, the pure fact that you can enter the ashlands and hold your own with a weapon from a 3 biome prior weapon speaks to how good of a weapon it is
@@SpazzyjonesGaming the problem is that you're not the only one making these claims, amd it got to a point where I figured I must be missing something and tried it out for myself only to find that it wildly underperformed compared to even the Mistwalker (granted, that may have simply been because my sword skill is higher than my club at this point).
Great job, man, I like how you choose from all languages in the world, language of facts
8:42 YOU DIED :D
lol
who the fuck made the chapters for this video? not even one of them is on the correct time man
Thats my bad. They were correct and then I ended up trimming the first 30seconds or so off the video after upload. I have now fixed this. Sorry about that!
Himin Afl :(
i do love atgeirs!
Activate Windows
nevaaa!
The Atgeir sucks
Whaaat. No way
@@SpazzyjonesGaming It absolutely is. Useless weapon, doesn’t deal a lot of damage, the spin isn’t as good as it looks
this dude is wrong tho fr the guts sword is top weapon
guts sword?
Boo, cheater
what? how?
Your hp doesn't go below 1, and when you get hit when on 1hp you don't recieve any damage at all
@@TanderFalkorwho cares
Video came out 8 months ago (as I post Feb 25) and you have renamed it weapons for 2025 that's a bit scummy dude and I think you know it @spazzyjonesgaming
Please explain how its scummy? What has changed which would make this video irrelevant in 2025?
