Yeah definitely needs to be buffed cuz like come on I'm crashing to the ground at LIGHTSPEED! That shit should at least do more damage than a regular normal attack
@@sparrow6110 it's the fucking final boss of the dlc. And the weapon does fucking holy damage. Balance against what ragadon?

@@insertnamehere259ngl the lord seems better against players, npcs and smaller enemies cus it staggers a lot but light against bosses since its more damage in one hit and its shorter, its pretty hard to get off the whole ash of war on the lord swords against a boss
Honestly kind of feel light could've been a tad better. Had they done the mirror image multi slashes instead of like a wall of light burst for 2 seconds.
The name "lightspeed slash" reminds me of the attack where he slams you with multiple afterimage attacks. If they have done that it would've been so much cooler than whatever we got.
@@zentazym1this is literally makes no sense for balance, because of quickswap, and because of different start of weaponarts. Logically it's great for stance weaponart, because of focus on stances in DLC, and because it's literally parts of one boss moveset, but devs was just lazy on this weapon
I dont understand why they didnt just combine these two swords into one, make the aow for the lord swords a tapping L2, and making the aow for the light swords a holding L2
This greatsword one of greatest disapointments for me in DLC. I mean, seriously ? From Radahn + Miquella, from most disgusting and most annoying boss in whole FromSoft games, you take one of two... Literally similar dual greatswords, with magic damage instead of holy (really, why ? This weapon have literally Miquella's holy strikes, why it's magic ? Why it's STR+INT weapon, we're already have gravity Radahn greatswords in base game, why we can't take holy version in DLC, for STR+FTH builds ?), and with two different weaponarts. Why not two in one ? Like Rellana's swords, like night and flame sword, like Moonveil, like Friede's scyth ? Why we're have so few boss weapons with double weaponarts ? Why weapon from most difficult boss in game divided in two weapons ?
@@acvarisli not really bad, just not too strong. Like Romina's polearm. Not bad, but not great.

For those wondering how these paired colossal swords work, they're a quality based build with a touch of magic.

While the numbers seem different, however, as soon as you start using them in PvE and PvP, the actual numbers are fairly similar. It all comes down to how the player uses them.
Imo the starscourge greatswords are still better because their aoe is much wider, and there's more talismans that buff its damage than the lord or light ones

Lightspeed slash needs a buff but honestly the two lord and light should have been a single weapon with a stance similar to rallana's weapon

Agreed, would have been way better and cooler. An upgraded version of phantom slash!
why not just make this a stance weapon art, since both weapons share the same exact moveset and scaling? it seems like an odd choice ngl
Probably for balancing purposes. Both of the weapon arts are pretty good
Although in PvP you can quickswap to throw people off

Definitely going Lord after seeing this. Awesome video, thanks!
Why does a holy damage aow belong to an int scaling weapon? 💀
Lore reason 😂
The weapon got Miquellester buff thats why it has holy dmg in it.
The normal weapon has int scaling in kt

This time I’m grabbing that talisman. A lot of Elden ring build TH-camrs always suggest it and they don’t offer an alternative.
Imo the starscourge greatswords are still better because their aoe is much wider, and there's more talismans that buff its damage than the lord or light ones
The Starscourge one is still the best
thanks for the quick vid! gonna go with the Lord version
The overhead stance for the lord greatsword would have been perfect as a stance pose
Why... why colossal greatswords? Why not curved greatswords???
regrettably watching after going light.... STILL FLYING IS HYPE
just go to one of the coffins to duplicate the remembrance. Or go to the main game and duplicate it from a bell tower
@@uhhbribe7321 you can duplicate after using it?
That's Pontiff Sulyvahn's combo.
Wish they gave us his gravity opening attack ash of war would be cool
Giaus gives that AoW
We can finally perform pontiff six hit combo but even flashier
I can’t make any better use of the light over lord. The aow on light is so booty. Idk if I have to lvl up int to make it better or what
Just go with lord one
light has follow up attacks and can be spammed
@@Beam67what follow up attack? The beams? That do like 7 damage.
I wish the light one had the clone slashes before you go down like radahn had
Yeah, thnq man I'm going for lord then
thanks for the showcase
Duplicate. Equip both and switch move sets. It's rather fun
Pretty disappointing weapon for killing the hardest fromsoft boss I’ve ever fought
Care to Explain why they do magic dmg instead of holy like this doesn't make any sense
Didn’t show follow up attacks for light
There is no follow up attack
😭 there isn’t any, why does this have 7 likes
@nakiangoderich3014 because why wouldn't it? The other version got like three attacks and laser why would this one get one attack and lasers?

I have a knack for picking the worst version, so I went with light.
Dublicate the remembrance and get the other one.
i would say lord is pvp weapon and light is pve
Or can you make three idiots series doing Elden ring content on seemless coop
Ok, lord it is.
if u cant decide duplicate it and take both
218 levels and you still only reached 50 vigor.
That’s because I don’t need more vigor
with 50 vigor he defeat consort radahn, so its fine😂
What’s wrong with 50 vigor the flasks only cover a certain amount or then u chugging like 3 lol
I don’t know who are the 4 ppl that liked your message but you seem like someone that can’t kill a boss without help
Vigor soft caps at like 45 and hard caps at 60. There's no point in putting more than 50-55 on a meta or non meta build.
Huh, seems like the Lord variant is the more superior. Thanks!
what’s better lord or the old starscourge?
@@geonidus3062 I personally like starscourge more but starscourge is most a strength weapon with a bit of int and lord version is a quality weapon with a little bit of int.

Whats that armor your wearing with the red?
Fire Knight armor with winged serpent insignia.
Does the aow scale with faith? Cause it would make sense if it did
I think it does
