"I was just R1ing without strategy and it worked pretty well"
DS3 everyone.
Slammer101 *Dark Souls 1 flashbacks
Add a Public reply true I was just thinking about the chaos zweihander
Add a Public reply So is r1 spam
@@kylepaulsen973 in ds1 or ds3 if in ds3 then tell me how to counter an r1 spamming pontiff Knight curved sword
Emanuel C. Spacing, curved swords have poor range and are bad at trading
"I dont know why the pickaxe deals pierce"
No offense but it's just a big spike on a stick
Same principle as the lucerne.
Then why is it classified as a hammer lmao
@@deadsea2247 probably because you use it like you would a hammer.
@@jamesheld5658 But it has the greataxe moveset. Well, most of it.
@@deadsea2247 axes and hammers are swung the same way, the only real difference is how sharp they are
"you are a warrior part of a warrior race" going vegeta on us
You PICKed a good weapon to use
Conner Jacobus Please don’t PICK a fight with me.
Where else do you see this type of creativity, Conner? Take me there
I'm gonna have to AXE you to stop.
Guys quit PICKing on him.
Yeah MINEd your own business
"Use your sword you heathen!" Yes, lets run at the guy with a giant mining weapon and try to trade blows with him, LOL
You dont need to trade to use you sword
To be fair he was using Astora, so if he could actually hit with it he could easily beat the sad range of the pick. Unfortunately mr. pyro man doesn't quite know what aiming is I think :/
Next up: The most unused weapons that you never see in Ds3.
*The Dragonslayer Greatshield, two of them, fatrolling, clam build with Kirk's on.*
My lord... Is that legal?
I used to use one in my right hand and the dragonslayer greataxe in the left for a cosplay, I used the shield to attack and the axe as a decoration, like the boss
@@AlphaI250 But you see the axe a lot in PvE gonks and actual ganker squads a lot. Less so than before, but back in the pre-DLC days you'd have a solid 50% chance that when you invaded, one phantom or the host had that damn orange slice axe equipt. The shield? Not so much.
@@AoBaiGaming The shield is so powerful though, you can shield bash trade almost any attack, it'll deal pretty good damage and knock them off + It has one of the highest protection in the game.
I guess the reason its under used is because of how heavy it is
@@AlphaI250 It's like why you only see black Knight shields instead of Havel's, the weight is too much. The moaning shield actually has the highest stability, but has a 50 strength requirement...for some reason.
You should try the wooden mallet
literally the first and only loss I've ever seen chase take in the arena
Well if its the first time you've seen him lost of course it's the only time
I honestly think most people go to Arena to try to get better at PVP
@Harold Jenkins You'll occasionally come across a godly blue too... Saw a man just fuckin parry like a bat out of hell, no setups or anything,just, noped the fuck outta someone
Try Crow Quills, or Rose of Ariandel
Crow quills
Better yet, blessed/lightning crow quills and rose dual wield!
id say crow quills too and if their is a addtional augment to go with it i would say sharp with frost casted on top
I would love to see him do a good crow quills episode so I could finally see someone win and not be me and get smoked in two seconds
Crow quills
Murky hand scythe with dark blade would be interesting to see
The prophet
First time I’ve ever seen anyone wearing the brass armor actual a win pvp fight
“People play pretty cowardly, they don’t want to take any risk”
Coming from the guy that everyone in a ten mile radius can see is purposefully built to come out on top by trading hits
In fairness, he says that no matter what his build is, including super squishy ones.
how is building for trades cowardly? are you stupid? xD
But.. he's using a pickaxe lmao
@@grilledleeks6514 it isn't, but if your opponent is a poise monster leo ring thrust user, I'd think it reasonable to not attempt to trade with them. I'd keep my distance if I saw this build.
That pyro guy made me chuckle. Those flame turrets only track a target if they're cast while locked on. If you cast them free-aim, they do nothing more than shoot in the direction you were facing.
One medal is for 1v1 duels and the second medal is for the 2v2 3v3 team battles and brawls
Edit: "is r1 parry still your tactic?"
Fts: *immediately hits r1 and parries*
🤣🤣
It’s a thrust weapon because you attack by slamming the pointy end into enemies at a perpendicular angle which is effectively like thrusting a pointy weapon into them.
Also the pick axe has a very fast rolling attack (with lousy range) .. noticed u didn’t use that.
You can kinda tell that the last guy must’ve been following a build/gameplay guide. His behaviors are so methodical and it kinda seems like outside of his build, he has no idea what he’s really doing.
I always thought the aquamarine dagger looked really cool, but I never used it much.
I would love to see what a pro (or THE pro) could do with them!
Flail of Ariandel perhaps 🤷🏻♂️
Yeeeeeee
You get a medal for arena duels, and a medal for arena brawls, both without password.
When a Demonslayer got bored and uses some worker tools to slay scrubs.
I like how the Floating Chaos is only useful if you lock on, because otherwise it will shoot straight forward with no target.
Im on board for the Follower Javelin. Super fun weapon :)
Wa has hyper armor too
Also best on a strengh build to keep the trend going.
Chase, the pickaxe always does thrust damage because the only way to damage is to ‘thrust’ the pick end into someone.
Executioner's greatsword: only way to run a buff build with no attunement investment. PvP invasion: you can use the fp gain to tell where the host is at. Stomp weapon art: pocket poise and both the golf swing and backspin. Strick damage: near infinite stunlock.
Buffable, not infusable.
Chase the 2nd medal is for brawls/ coop matches
A Greathammer with A Greataxe's moveset dealing Thrusting type of damage.
Behold, The Pickaxe. And it all makes sense lol
read the thumb as "Pick Trade Axe God"
Use the millwood axe on a fatroll build its super fun and actually really good. For armor i recomend prioritizing poise and fire defence because even though the fatroll is good enough to avoid most spells, vestige at close range is almost undodgable.
You should do a greatsword, for instance the Flamberge because it is very underrated on the right hand and a rapier on the off hand. The Flamberge is good one-handed because it’s two-handed heavies aren’t as good as for instance the Claymore, and use the rapier as a parry tool since a normal greatsword swing combos with a rapier attack. The weapon arts for the Flamberge do insane damage as well, more than most other greatswords. You can also use the Flamberge’s one-handed heavies as parry bait. Would love to see you give it a go!
Idk if this got patched, but back in the day, the weapon art Galvanize, not only increased your stamina regen, but it completely refreshed your poise. Sadly it doesn't reduce incoming damage which makes it inferior to it's counterpart "Perseverance"
for anyone who is weird like me and goes for uncommon strategies. The Blood pickaxe +10 gets 110 bleed build-up per hit. if you pair it with a quick offhand that also causes bleed build-up you will consistently get bleed procs on trade
11:16 dead🤣 he actually still did it lmao
Yaaaas literally just commented the other day how I would love to see some pickaxe roll catches, looks like we are a couple of like minded individuals XD
Sammy is back, and he's pissed.
I had a similar build some time ago. I've found that the jumping attack work pretty well with this weapon. I managed to win most of my pvp with that combo. I remember I got someone that was literally a mile away, rolling back to heal.
Cast GMS on a buckler, wear untrue dark ring to hide it, then pressure people holding up a buckler. Their first reaction is to break your guard and you get free parry. For the rest of the match they will be scared and confused and you can pressure them freely. Pair with rapier so you can trade with shield poke.
Just wanted to drop a 'thank you'. I stopped Ds3 for a bit over a year now and your videos are still as interesting as ever.
For everyone saying Chase cuts his losses.
I bring you, the pickaxe episode
That last fight...does that dude not realise that arena is a competitive fight to the death?!😅😂
Arstors Spear, I've only ever seen Prod use it once
Hey dude love the videos . I’m recently doing a spear and pike only build . I don’t know if you’ve ever used it but the Greatlance has the ultimate poke game , apparently very good at dealing status effects
Most intense game of Minecraft I've ever seen.
Could we see a dragon build?
Yorshka's Spear would be funny to watch, since its damage is balls
Cahse just be mining away at thes casuls
The pickaxe is a thurst weapon due to its desgin.
One of my favorite weapons without a doubt
I listened to "Sweden" while watching this
You should try out a build where in the left hand, you have a weapon that has perseverance weapon art, and then use the great lance in the right hand. Just use perseverance, and then the lance, and it becomes pretty good, at least in theory
I hope we get to see the Dancer Blades again. I know they aren't the best but they're still fun.
I LITERALLY JUST THOUGHT ABOUT YOU MAKING A PICKAXE SHOWCASE
And here it is.
Chase, if you can make a build around this set up, I'll be able to tell my roommate that I am now the master of Dark Souls
Pickaxe
Steel Soldier Helm
Leather Armor
Follower Gloves
Faraam Leggings
Rings of your choice
I’m a blessed warrior, drakeblood armor set, steel soldier helm, blessed zweihander, heavy followers saber, and lightning lothric long spear. Name of the game is regen. Not meant for arena but pve
Chase just mining these casuls
absolute lad of a weapon
Shotel up next.
Bonus points if you use two of them.
chase, trust attacks are basicly anithing sharp that its stabbing.
A pickaxe has a very sharp point at the end of each head... so when u hit u iterally plunge the sharp end of the pickaxe. soo its a trust.
I wish I had dark souls but I'm too poor to afford it. So now I just watch these videos and try to experience the gameplay.
Get it on g2a. A lot cheaper
That last guy fought like an npc haha
Warpick next!!!
Why wouldn't a pickaxe be a thrust weapon? Thrust in ds3 mean penetrating attacks, and thats what pickaxes excel at.
I thought of it more as a thrust motion in that moment lol. That makes sense though
Almost read this as "pick trade axe god'"
the second medal is for team battles
Chaos Bastard Sword!!!
Follower Javelin next?
Yessss

King of trading.
This is such a surprising weapon, never even dared get close to it because... DS2 flashbacks. Anyway, did you notice the stamina regen from the weapon art? It's insane! Also removes your weapon buff which, in all correctness, hits for 20 more damage... IDK why you didn't use Galvanize much more.
Ive been on the pickaxe meta for a couple months. Buffed with darkmoon blade.
2:50 did the weapon art and the lightning buff??
It's a special weapon art,not warcry
@@themultiversalassociationo9746 yeah but they still cancel each other
Never knew Chase uploaded Minecraft.
Okay, how 'bout you cosplay Minecraft Steve with this?
imagine poise actually existing.
Hello Chase. Very cool videos with this weapon showcase.
a pickaxe is a pointy weapon, it pierces/stabs things, it doesn't bludgeon(so not strike) and it doesn't cut(so it isn't slash) so why in the world does it not make sense for it to be thrust?
Mail breaker next? It’s not too terrible and the WA combos into itself
The final guy seemed to be meming around in my book but thats just me.
Soo we back in the mine
We need the hassel pick and just sword spell comboing
11:15 the guy is using the majestic greatsword from ds2. I really see very often people using it in the arena. Maybe a undedected mod or so
It’s not a mod, it’s just the wolf knight greatsword
Chase plays Minecraft in dark souls
Showcase Vordt’s Great Hammer
Random but I hope chase does more stuff with the Ichigo build so dope I'd like to see some invasions with it
Manikin claws bleed build :)
You know, it's a shame this is only really for one weapon. I kind of want to see the unholy amalgamation that is an Ornstein and Smough fusion. Smough's Great Hammer in one hand, Dragonslayer Spear in the other, with bits of both armor sets.
That's a good build idea, and spears naturally make good off-hand weapons. I'ma have to try it.
The weapon shaped for the sole purpose of allowing you to thrust its spike while doing a stronger, cutting-like motion on the handle is weird for being considered a thrust weapon? How?
:-)
For shit's and grins will you do a luck build with the scaling weapons?
This is one of my favorite weapons to play with but I can count with the fingers of my hand the people I've seen using it after 1,000+ hours, it's a beast if you have great timing. You should try using the roll-r1, it catches a lot of people on surprise, it's fast and does decent damage, there were a lot of missing opportunities in your matches, you would have won easily mixing the regular r1 with the roll-r1. Also, since nobody uses the weapon, most people don't know about it's sick hyperarmor.
Crow Quills or Corvian scythe (its great with a dark or chaos infusion)
You play big weapons like your using smaller ones except for the trading mentality,I say this because I play the same way and it really shows when you play other wannabe try hard duelist.Try to make an attempt at making them panick roll more and using the one handed moveset for a slight bit more range and use the backstep for a quick running attack initiation(Just a few things ive seen people who main Ultra weapons use)it also makes it a bit more fun to watch a big boi be super aggressive.Along with that use the Lothric long spear its got great roll catch potential in its heavy attack for one of these showcase vids.
I'm exceedingly sad the game won't let me name my character "Hi-Ho" to run a pickaxe build
In my mind, if he loses an arena match with the weapon hes using, I shall never use that weapon
Theres been some losses but yeah the weapons are pretty bad XD
Chase you can absolutely parry the pickaxe 2 handed r1 and r2
"This one might be the L"
Haha good one chase
Well it punctures but sideways
Spotted whip... make it work.
Great fights dude! Though hearing that "no one wants to take risks" coming from a guy wearing full Havel's is pretty funny. lol
The last pyromancer was stylin, but fooled around too much with Floating Chaos. Reminds me of the Lingering Flame from DS2. It was such a fun spell to use on the Bridge arena!
Love your videos. Looking forward to your Elden Ring vids.
Powerful Poking Partizan when ChaseTheSempai?
Huh didn't know the pick ax was a great hammer. I'm gonna have to use it. Jesus 586 with the Leo ring is pretty dang good. Huh, using the WA removed the bundle interesting.
I thought the pick was considered a greataxe not hammer
