After testing further, the blade of mercy does not seem to be activated after golden crux unfortunately. This frees up a talisman slot which id probably just run erdtree favor +2 in its place!
I'd do Ritual sword for more damage, since you can't be hit during the animation. (Unless you poise through another attack during the leap, which would kill the buff.)
Dang, I've been actually thinking about making a crit built around Blade of Mercy talisman. Something to ponder for the future Chase, see if you can find a weapon to make this work
@@CraigCR Yeah, i remember his duel with a host cosplaying as Carian knight where he parried chase at the last moment with almost no hp left. Chase died but he was so excited and cheered for him.
10:09 "Hahaha... people are cowards." 100% invasion's vibe, so much time using surviving and battle skills in 1 vs 3 just to be fog walled in the end with no reward
So glad you found recovery Chase. Wizard addiction is very real and I wish more TH-camrs had the courage to get help. Good for you man. Happy to see you back on the wagon.
10:41 fun fact, after a critical accident when you stand up and you think you’re fine that’s because your adrenal gland is pumping adrenaline in your body .. but short after that you fall and die that’s because you already died before that adrenaline kicked in.
@@hbr5115 Its actually even more dishonest, because you physically cant dodge the grab attack on high latency. Atleast with wizards, you can dodge their attacks.
I just want to say that we will be here for Chase after he finish with his evil phase… 10:01 I’m just glad to think that the host enter a boss he cannot defeat alone… and the t-bag was so funny… 😂
That grab is _SO_ crazy. Especially considering how finicky the other grabs are! Like, you can grab people mid-roll, mid-AoW, mid-whatever. You can even grab two people at once! Tere's just *no* escaping that grab.
For anybody who’s wondering, the reason the ash of war sometimes appears to “hit twice” or deal damage to players without grabbing them is because the actual blade of the sword has an active hit box during the plunging animation. You can test this for yourself by attacking PvE (which can’t be grabbed) with the ash of war and see the blade deal damage when it comes in contact with them. My guess is that, in some cases, when used on other players, the sword nicks them BEFORE going into the grab animation, which then deals additional damage on its own.
The 1st clip is a perfect representation of the weapon. It's so nasty that this hitbox even goes into the animation if you just get a phantom hit of a rolling enemy
13:05 Chase, bro, I may be wrong; but if you look at their feet, I am fairly sure the ground under their feet keeps their real glow. Again, I could be wrong.
I love this weapon. I use it alongside my Banished Knight Greatsword. I get both Greatsword movesets, and I have a surprise grab in my pocket if I need it.
8:37- squidward would definitely use the bubble blowing clarinet, which would get boosted by the helm. I love SpongeBob’s spatula though lol Patrick wielding destined death is canonical.
@@wolfiemuse oh geez I need to start turning in my remembrances 😅 I just got the game a couple weeks ago I’m still on my first play through its a little overwhelming how many weapons there are
This sword can be made 'honest' for PvP in couple of ways: either reduce hitbox for the grab by 50% so it's harder to land or reduce the number of s during grab and recovery by 50% so that it's not a risk free move.
Greatsword of Damnation is diabolical against high-latency fights because it connects when it visually hits on the attacker's screen, not the defender like most other attacks
3:09 Somehow I was expecting the host to be teleported to Chase's location or Chase to be teleported to the host location for the grab animation. Also, that grab chain at the beginning was slick, three targets for three hits. 😂
yknow, im really surprised that the greatsword of damnation wasnt a light greatsword, especially with how its ash of war is both graceful and absolutely brutal
If I remember right, for invasion purposes, your world availability counts for as the highest player in the world. So that poor knight you invaded in the crystal cave fighting the demi humans was probably the lowbie and you mercilessly ended him. Good job! XD
I don't understand, so you guys don't use the Ash of War of your weapon? Is there a rule you follow when you don't use the ash of war after certain amount of time? Such a weird take. The weapon shines with its L2, the whole point of this video was the Ash of War.
@jayjayson9613 AOW use is fine. It's more of a humorous recognition of how Chase went from a "stereotypical dishonest wizard" to a "stereotypical dishonest L2 spammer" . Both playstyles are actually fine, just poking fun at it because it CAN be very annoying, and some people don't like being that kind of annoying player.
Just a heads up, to know if you killed a host, simply look at the particles that come from the player you killed, the particles would be white for hosts while the yellow particles would appear from cooperators
funfact you can crit your teammates with it aswell, also cooperators and hosts. This can be used to skip some parts in the DLC, since you dont take any fall dmg with that, can be compared to the DS2 cat ring skip.
Greatsword of Damnation having the follow up if you miss the initial impale is something the other critical based AoW really needed. I think the only other AoW based around a crit animation is Lifesteal Fist? Would have nice if you whiffed or use against an enemy that isn't a player/NPC if just had a lingering hitbox that you could detonate. Hopefully the next Soulslike game addresses stuff like that. Also I've found the Smithscript Axe true combo vid again. It's by CapDayne Levi. They used a level 150, 80 Faith build with minimal stats to wield the axe on Fire Art infusion and Raptor's Of The Mist AoW, with Rakshasa helm/gauntlets/greaves and the Raptor's Black Feathers chest piece, both incantation boosting talismans, Claw Talisman and the Smithscript Talisman to maximize damage from jumping attacks and incantations. In the first invasion they deleted a phantom with 1450 HP with after using the AoW jump attack with an R1 follow up. It's kind of wild how strong this set up can be. They were even comboing the jumping R2 with Fire Serpent. The build seems very versatile and I imagine the Intelligence version having all kinds of AoE and burst damage potential with all of the spells available.
I am not a souls like enjoyer, Elden Ring was the one and only one that i finished the rest are like 30 min of play i love it so much yet i still watch all of your vids :D
11 hefty pots thrown throughout these invasions! Glad to see a phantom at the end tossing a few! Greatsword of damnation is so silly with its hitboxes lmao
Greatsword of Damnation is an amazing weapon, Golden Crux is kinda broken but because the grab hitbox (or grab box if you will) has two locations rather than one. The first is on the weapon when you come down on players, however the second grab box is located on the players feet. So if one misses, the other will connect. Best defense? Back up and play the long game, unless you are fighting Chase. If you see Chase, you should already be starting your run over again in your head Edit: At 13:27, 690hp is hands down one of the lowest hp levels I have ever seen
Not sure if you have already, but you should try the Putrescent Knight's weapon. It does an insane amount of damage with high strength and arcane. Really overlooked imo.
I feel like this sword would get paired well with either an invisibility spell or an illusion spell; not sure if either can be used in invasions, or if Chase has the patience for a proper ninja ambush... XD
Around 14:00 the host is ~RL150 but the phantom is significantly lower (host dropped 7k+ runes while the summon only dropped 455, also the health lmao). I'd bet the host is summoning their friend to kill Greyoll then reloading their save and summoning them again to farm runes.
About the grab: The grab got 2 damage instances, the actual sword and the grab final hit, the sword damage is only applied if the grab miss (if the opponent is immune to the grab or out of the range for whatever reason). But due to latency, sometimes you can hit the opponent twice with both the sword and the grab which usually ends on a one shot (usually when you get a grab, your sword hitbox is denied instantly to avoid the second hit). And of course, if you miss a grab, you can do a AoE follow up, and you can delay it by a little, so you can trick players into thinking you are not using the AoE, by faking some grab attempts, and then when they rush you, then you use it to throw them off. Most pvers have no idea how to deal with this weapon, you can dish entire gank squads by just L2 spam, duelists and other pvpers tend to space the grab out and always assume the AoE, punishing only during the recovery of the Ash, luckly this weapon uses the claymore moveset that is very satisfying to use, so you can just fight with it and only use the grab when you are sure you will hit.
I think it would be pretty cool to see the setup that you go through to make these builds. Mainly because I'm curious if you went through like 5 journeys to get the armor prices you use to heal😅
After testing further, the blade of mercy does not seem to be activated after golden crux unfortunately. This frees up a talisman slot which id probably just run erdtree favor +2 in its place!
I was about to use a blade of mercy with seppuku in real life if I saw another Wizard Chase
Chase do you know if the damnation AoW is boosted by claw talisman? You could do that idk ill do some testing later
I'd do Ritual sword for more damage, since you can't be hit during the animation. (Unless you poise through another attack during the leap, which would kill the buff.)
I'm pretty sure the blade talismans work. You could get health back on the aow
Dang, I've been actually thinking about making a crit built around Blade of Mercy talisman. Something to ponder for the future Chase, see if you can find a weapon to make this work
Inside you are two wolves. One is Chase wanting to use an honest greatsword. The other is Chase continuing on his recent highway to hell.
Is that a reference to Skoll and Hati?
@@thecommander2659 It's not but I think I was inspired by a recent zanny title 😂
@ Ohhhhhh ok wow that went over my head😂 Thanks👍
is this really an 'honest' greatsword? i love using it so much, but it's like invading on easy mode just hopping from player to player
I'm pretty sure Chase has a sadistic killer kept inside only by his outlet in dark souls pvp
7:25 really disappointed in the spongebob team for not having the squidward use the envoy horn. I mean he even had the bubble blower hat like come on
And Spongebob should've had a hand-to-hand to mimic his karate skills

lol. That was a nice parry. But if you watch his Invasion streams, he gets parried quite few times.
@@S_Heavensright lol And he gets so excited for them when they parry him or backstab him 😂

He had the right helm for it too!

Ok, the first invasion sets the mood for this video, lol 😂😂
Chase walks in
Chase presses L2
Chase leaves
I mean, hyper aggressive players with low Vigor is just a staple of Elden Ring. That they happen to be especially weak to Golden Crux is just a bonus.

Greatsword of Damnation having the follow up if you miss the initial impale is something the other critical based AoW really needed.
