idk why, but it wasn't until JUST THIS VIDEO that i realized that the Madness Fire from the ash of war is in the shape of the Three Fingers. Which makes perfect sense lorewise and is a nice little detail.
Jinx was probably the best opponent I've seen you fight. Excellent use of the shield bash, which works as a great way to subvert the expectation of a panic roll
No chase definitely played vs better opponents through-out the series, this no staff wizard played good don't get me wrong, but it's more so on chase playing completely aggressive disrespectfully early on which made him lose alot of hp, once he realized the situation though..
@@johnfrankster3244 By the time he swapped weapons, he was unable to hit chase as he had gotten the timing of the first one + shield bass down completely, so swapping weapons was a good idea, since all he needed was 1 hit to finish off chase by that point.
Love watching Chase get genuinely impressed when he's pressured and when the opponent is doing well without cheesing. Such a good attitude towards life in general and that's definitely a huge part reason for why I'm subbed and keep watching!
@@Arcelux Well they tell you it's global but imagine getting someone from NA as an EU player? Ping hello? you prob would get 250+ ms and yea that's not going to be fun , don't think it's global really
Chase at 4:43 that was the unique skill Corpse Wax Cutter from the Gargoyle's Blackblade almost identical to Vacuum Slice from Gargoyle's Greatsword except it deals holy dmg and saps HP for 2secs (kinda baby brother AoW to Blade of Death) and is a Faith/Strength weapon primarily
Thanks for making me ok at pvp chase. I would have completely given up without your videos. Now I can enjoy a whole new dimension to the game. Cheers man, love the content.
Great job with these videos. You're literally the only person I can watch now with Elden Ring. So much click bait and negativity these days. Thanks for the fun videos.
Jinx had you on the back foot for the first time in a while, it seems. I've not seen many one on one's that you couldn't analyze before picking the duelist apart. Quite an interesting fight, that one.
Would love to see a alternate move set greatsword also. Their animation is just so clean. The banished knight greatsword is my go to and scales great with a strength build.
I really wish more greatswords used that moveset, especially the fancier ones. It's so fluid, and it makes it look like the tarnished has actually held a sword before.
@@CazadorSlayer Seriously, what's with all this slamming into the ground bullshit? I kinda get it with something like the Gargoyle's GS's but not having it on the Flamberge in particular is just sad. Also if the Knight's Sword just had a poke R2 it'd easily be my favorite weapon.
@@prawn1717 Yessss i've been saying the same thing since I first started playing! How could you give us such a beautiful sword like the Flamberge and then NOT give it the good moveset!? And the Knight's Sword! It's clearly meant to be a thrust-oriented greatsword with how heavily the blade is tapered! I had to give it one of the thrust weapon arts just because that drove me so crazy...It's honestly why the greatswords are one of my least-used weapon types thus far...
That was insane!!! Absolutely loved that last duel, Jinx really fought well! Haven’t seen anybody catch you like that, loved to see how you calmly reacted and ended up victorious as always. That was the best duel I’ve seen IMO in your series, you really are the goat!
I feel like this weapon showcase was one of the best ones yet. I really liked your duel against the moonlight great sword and shield combo. It was clear you started to get serious but without a doubt you clapped back! Great vid as always
Has Chase ever lost a duel? I think he drew once but I don't think he's ever lost? Think that fight with JINX was the closest to losing. Chase is insane. This is more like a Chase showcase (demonstrating his ability to use any weapon) more than a weapon showcase 😂
even back in ds3 i don't remember him losing on any stream thst i watched at least but he came close with a few cheaters. i'm sure he loses every once in a blue moon to something strange but overall dude is the most cracked player i've ever seen
I respecced my character and leveled up my vykes spear after watching this video, and now I've actually gotten some wins in duels. Just started pvp this week, and before this video I was about 1 for 50. Never played any Souls PVP before, but after watching you I really learned a lot, thanks for these videos they're a lot of fun and very informative. (Do some whips).
The running L1 is good af on daggers, you just have to apply a way different strategy when using them. Hit and run tactics. They’re fast enough to do a running L1 when someone is activating their ash of war and then getting out of there. Plus there is a dagger that gets S ranked scaling on Dexteritywith an infusion and has built in bleed. It gets a B in occult if you infuse it with occult. They’re really, really good. I think its the dagger that the Demihumans use.
Most wholesome person ever! Says “hello there” like obi wan And doesn’t sit up in his chair until he is sub 25% health and is always respectful it’s Chase the myth the legend the bro
I love your positivity. I’ve read a lot of people saying the madness build up isn’t high enough to be viable, but you never back down on showing the good points of a weapon and I appreciate that.
Dual Vyke Spear is the most busted setup you can use, crouch L1 ghost hits until madness then jump L1 for 1000+ damage. The CL1 is either 8 or 11 frames fast, completely unreactable when using stored crouch attack tech.
@@virgil4043 Powerstance attacks when using two of the same weapon class use L1 for the powerstance moveset in addition to the normal R1 and R2 attack with the right hand weapon.
I know this wasnt the intention but ya gotta love how this shows why Vyke's is fundamentally broken. All those poor dudes getting phantom madness procs and getting punished for successfully iframing an attack. Also props to JINX for rocking Shield Bash, that thing is my saving grace against Ultra Greatsword poker since you cant be guard broken during the animation and it gets a guaranteed punish.
@@mmertduman You can the Madness damage as well, you can see that happen at 07:47. Still puts you in the stun animation which is shitty and just free damage for your opponent. On paper it's definitely more broken than Bleed but with Bleed's higher build up on more spammable weapons, plus its own shorter stun, make it a lot more annoying to fight (imo).
Chase watching your videos has made me better at handling invasions and pvp in general. Got invaded while fighting tree sent outside capital when my buddy died. I stayed calm backed away from tree sent until I lost aggro and then had a one on one duel with the invader. I lost but damn it was close and even got a nice bow from the invader. Love these videos they make me think my strats for handling pvp.
One Vyke's war spear is a cool weapon but two of them is super rough, especially in invasions before NG+ by getting a password summon to drop the second one. Doubling the madness buildup is really strong.
I think you could do some damage with the Warhawk Talon. Drops from the birds at Stormveil, and it has a unique heavy that makes you hop forward and strike twice.
There's a current bug that's been getting annoyingly common recently where phantoms, co-op and invading, are getting auto-disconnected after 2 minutes due to something going on with Easy Anti Cheat. Amir made a video about it a couple of days ago and I personally have been on the recieving end of it a lot the last few days trying to help with bossess.
I used to think i was bad at pvp until i actually started dueling. I lose a ton but i have fun and win enough to make myself feel good haha. Keep trying and youll improve!
@@shadeslayer6353 same here. I thought I was trash and then my first day of actually doing duels I went on like a 7-8 match winning streak and then it ended by me and the opponent killing each other at the same time lol.
It's a very cool weapon, especially with it's unique heavies! Shame it gets such a bad rep... With bleed being as powerful as it is, a katana that can't have it just hurts it's DPS so much.
The madness build-up isn't too bad if just facing someone using one, which is all there is in the game and I think it's balanced around not having any other madness weapons. But as soon as you have a second one, particularly with the running L2 that hits multiple times with each weapon, it just gets very difficult to deal--especially since you can't roll through the proc and in fact it'll knock you out of a roll if a phantom hit triggers the madness.
Does chase ever lose duels? The close fight made me wonder that, and i legit root for the enemies because he always wins, would be cool to see him duel with someone above his skill
I can't be sure if it was actually him but I killed a guy that was wearing his set and using this spear yesterday. I killed him by jump attacking during his ash of war while using royal knights resolve.
this isnt hate or anything like that, but there are stronger duelists than chase. a lot of the tournament players have some serious skills and have been more focused on getting better and better over invasions, again, that isnt bad, its just that they focus on different things.
@@azu1394 that's true, and a lot of them are probably better duelists than chase. But invading requires its own skillset too - I'd bet chase might be a better invader than some of the tournament duelists even though they might be better 1v1.
@@arax20 exactly as i said yes, its just that they focus on different things. not putting down chase at all he just has a lot more variety in what he does while also running a youtube channel.
I normaly don't sub to proplr doing fromsoft game's because they tend to be complainers/negative or toxic af. You are not, you are respectful and you don't talk bs. You earned my sub.
That guy in the last invasion, Mura, had a good idea with the sleep pots. It's hard to land that ash of war but with the right setup it consistently oneshots even the toughest players.
The most fitting weapon for your outfit. The armor is like a spear fighters armor with a valkyrie helmet and the red color goes so well with the red hair. ❤🔥
Damn, that madness effect is gnarly! Just immediate death if it procs on you whatsoever... I'm suddenly very grateful we can't enchant other heavy weapons with it...Wait a second... Chase actually remembered to fix his flask!? THIS TRULY IS MADNESS!
What are the odds. I was just thinking today "I'm going to ask chase to use vykes spear on his next video". Great spears as a whole are just very cool. A lot more fun than regular spears in general and vykes in particular is just really cool. Can't wait to see what's next and I'm dumbfounded you can get these out so quickly
Love these weapon showcases! Have you tried the Godskin Stitcher? I'm a big fan of this weapon's moveset for chasing down casters, rollcatching very easily, and most importantly being able to cancel a heavy attack into a back step and quick lunge. I use piercing fang on it as well to also catch a panic roll, shield user, or river's of blood user!
Btw that Ash of War that had the same animation as the Blasphemous Blade’s is the Gargoyle’s Black Blade’s Ash of War called Corpse Wax Cutter. It’s pretty good and not well known
Pocket Sand into another incant is an exploit. It removes all cast time so many people will start with pocket sand and immediately switch to something else. Guess word got out so you are seeing it a lot more
I have an Ash of war recommendation instead of a weapon one for your next non somber showcase, I've been using wild strikes with the gargoyle's greatsword and been enjoying it but never see it mentioned anywhere, enjoyed all your showcases so far, keep up the great work!
question here. with being able to showcase all these weapons with different stat requirements, do you use larval tears to rebirth or different saves for each build?
I must say that warrior mage with utilities was pretty awesome, well done to him/her 😊 Thanks as usual chase for your awesome vids and attitude Edit 1: chase you should try that setup with shield bash!
I love this weapon. My topthree easy . Power stances them late mid game to endgame and these are forever a favorite in duels as well haha so fun and powerful
That's the closest I've seen anyone come to killing chase in a long time. you've got a really neat build by the way, with the darkmoon blade paired with a shield that bashes, and the imitation sorcery items.
Slapped these babies on a 104 poise build with all the other Madness Incants except the grab and the big aoe flames and I gotta say it's monstrous! Can open with flame of frenzy, land a few hits, do a howl, snipe if they get back. The AoW is pretty solid too. Overall good!
Madness is fun because it's one of those statuses where, sure, you can roll the proc to avoid the damage/FP drain, but you're still gonna get stunned, which is kind of the main benefit of madness anyways.
I absolutely love this weapon, and I hope you'll integrate it more into your builds Chase! Mix it with madness spells, its a pretty solid damage build if used right.
@@Min-gy8zu Madness can be annoying I agree, but it's not that bad. Bleed is a ton worse and even 2 handed, the madness spear takes me about 5 to 7 hits to proc most fights, not counting people who bring moss to counter it. So why don't you be smart and make some cave moss balls instead of complaining.
I did my summonless run using the Great Epée and i hit a wall at Radahn. I tried Vykes Spear at +7 and I managed to beat him after a few more tries. One of my favorite weapons next to the Godskin Stitcher.
spears are the most bully-heavy weapon and pairing that with madness, the most bully-heavy proc makes it extra scary. maybe at super high levels it would be cool to have this paired with mohgwyn spear?
Idk why but I would love to see an Urumi whip showcase. I’ve never used it myself but it seems like it has some potential by having no special ash of war. Plus the R2’s seem to have some great range and is super unique. I think it’s definitely a great take on bleed builds since everyone wants to use RoB, but never talk about this really cool whip. Anyways, I think it would be a cool showcase in the future!
I’m the magic moment it was an honor getting bodied by you saw your armor thought it was you but in my head was like “na someone just stole your drip” would have put my A game
I've used Vyke's spear on a pyro faith build for invasions in tight spaces (e.g. tunnels) and AOW sometimes hit for 2k damage. It also spreads through walls...
Dying twice from madness has to be rough.. 4:42 is Corpse Wax Cutter from the Gargoyle Sword. I'd like to see Family Heads or Bastard's Stars. I guess i'm into weird int flails.
Been watching since ER released. Do you just never get killed by opponents or just not show it? I think there is a lot of value in seeing how the weapon showcased is beat, if you ever do lose in matches.
He legit just does not die often, In a 3-4 hour stream of constant invading he might die once. When he does die though he is really respectful and leaves it in.
End game vykes spear is probably top 5 weapons in the game. The weapon art will one shot opponents when u have good faith, with fire scorpion, fire physik and flame give me stregth buff. Its so powerful!
Since you like greatswords, the Golden order greatsword would be nice. Pairs greatly(no pun intended) with the Blasphemous blade since both scale with faith
I challenged a Frenzyflame Thrust with my own Giant Hunt and lost. They really overbuffed the poise on that ash of war, in my opinion. They also really need to do something about status buildup on phantom hits.
idk why, but it wasn't until JUST THIS VIDEO that i realized that the Madness Fire from the ash of war is in the shape of the Three Fingers. Which makes perfect sense lorewise and is a nice little detail.
Duuuuude. I never noticed either. Such a cool detail
Wait until you notice that the death sorcery icon is the Hallowbrand of the Centipede

“Very fun fight” dunks the opponent without them even landing a hit or doing anything 😂
Pocket Sand into another incant is an exploit. It removes all cast time so many people will start with pocket sand and immediately switch to something else. Guess word got out so you are seeing it a lot more
I have an Ash of war recommendation instead of a weapon one for your next non somber showcase, I've been using wild strikes with the gargoyle's greatsword and been enjoying it but never see it mentioned anywhere, enjoyed all your showcases so far, keep up the great work!
question here. with being able to showcase all these weapons with different stat requirements, do you use larval tears to rebirth or different saves for each build?
Pretty sure he has multiple characters using larval tears when necessary
@@brotherhoodofgame he probably is also reloading a saved character to avoid running out of tears
@@sghost14 true, I think he mentioned that in one of his first ER streams
I would like you to do the pike/pikes with whatever abilities you want. Probably frost/bleed.
Chase my man I love your videos but I gotta ask something. Do you never lose or do you only upload the matches you win?
I must say that warrior mage with utilities was pretty awesome, well done to him/her 😊
Thanks as usual chase for your awesome vids and attitude
Edit 1: chase you should try that setup with shield bash!
That Jynx fight was TOP tier duel material. That was a great fight!
I love this weapon. My topthree easy . Power stances them late mid game to endgame and these are forever a favorite in duels as well haha so fun and powerful
love your weapon showcases chase! I find myself constantly changing my builds to use all the weapons you do!
I would love to see either some weirder flails or whips in a future video. Maybe candlestick or family heads?
I hope you run into that JINX fellow again, that was a really fun fight.
I thought that was you I fought! I recognized armor setup. Gg man very fun fight I choked at the end
That's the closest I've seen anyone come to killing chase in a long time. you've got a really neat build by the way, with the darkmoon blade paired with a shield that bashes, and the imitation sorcery items.
@@derrikthegreat4133 thanks! Yeah I choked hard when he started to play passive
Props to you, J1nx, that was very enjoyable to watch!
Would love to see a series of duels w/ skilled opponents.
It wasnt until i watch these video that i would gitgud in pvp, thx for all these fun weapon reviews
13:00 Chase's sadistic side is showing, all jokes aside great video Chase
Slapped these babies on a 104 poise build with all the other Madness Incants except the grab and the big aoe flames and I gotta say it's monstrous! Can open with flame of frenzy, land a few hits, do a howl, snipe if they get back. The AoW is pretty solid too. Overall good!
Madness is fun because it's one of those statuses where, sure, you can roll the proc to avoid the damage/FP drain, but you're still gonna get stunned, which is kind of the main benefit of madness anyways.
I absolutely love this weapon, and I hope you'll integrate it more into your builds Chase! Mix it with madness spells, its a pretty solid damage build if used right.
@@Min-gy8zu Madness can be annoying I agree, but it's not that bad. Bleed is a ton worse and even 2 handed, the madness spear takes me about 5 to 7 hits to proc most fights, not counting people who bring moss to counter it. So why don't you be smart and make some cave moss balls instead of complaining.
I did my summonless run using the Great Epée and i hit a wall at Radahn. I tried Vykes Spear at +7 and I managed to beat him after a few more tries. One of my favorite weapons next to the Godskin Stitcher.
spears are the most bully-heavy weapon and pairing that with madness, the most bully-heavy proc makes it extra scary. maybe at super high levels it would be cool to have this paired with mohgwyn spear?
Idk why but I would love to see an Urumi whip showcase. I’ve never used it myself but it seems like it has some potential by having no special ash of war. Plus the R2’s seem to have some great range and is super unique. I think it’s definitely a great take on bleed builds since everyone wants to use RoB, but never talk about this really cool whip. Anyways, I think it would be a cool showcase in the future!
I’m the magic moment it was an honor getting bodied by you saw your armor thought it was you but in my head was like “na someone just stole your drip” would have put my A game
I've used Vyke's spear on a pyro faith build for invasions in tight spaces (e.g. tunnels) and AOW sometimes hit for 2k damage. It also spreads through walls...
Dying twice from madness has to be rough.. 4:42 is Corpse Wax Cutter from the Gargoyle Sword. I'd like to see Family Heads or Bastard's Stars. I guess i'm into weird int flails.
Great video. And very good job JINX. It's very entertaining when somebody can give Chase a hard time.
I just realized the ash of war make the three fingers really cool
Chase gets roll caught “oh very good” normal players “shit shit shit”
Bro yes! Another one of my favorites I’ve been invading with. You the man.
My great spear has a bumper sticker on it that says "I'd rather be driving a greatsword"
I really enjoy the fights you actually have a challenge. Two amazing ones for sure in here.
Chase is driving his opponents mad! With his kindness.
Been watching since ER released. Do you just never get killed by opponents or just not show it?
I think there is a lot of value in seeing how the weapon showcased is beat, if you ever do lose in matches.
He's not above showing his losses. The problem is he rarely does lol
He legit just does not die often, In a 3-4 hour stream of constant invading he might die once. When he does die though he is really respectful and leaves it in.
End game vykes spear is probably top 5 weapons in the game. The weapon art will one shot opponents when u have good faith, with fire scorpion, fire physik and flame give me stregth buff. Its so powerful!
That was the Gargoyle’s Black Blade. It’s ash is similar to takers flame but holy damage
Chase really is the final boss of Souls PvP.
Since you like greatswords, the Golden order greatsword would be nice. Pairs greatly(no pun intended) with the Blasphemous blade since both scale with faith
Is Chase playing on PC?
Also, the closest dual in a LONG time versus the interesting moonlight greatsword/shield build?!?!?
URUMI! It's charged heavy is a super fun mixup. Also dual whips is super fun.
This weapon slaps in every way I love using it
thank you chase. i enjoyed the showcase
I challenged a Frenzyflame Thrust with my own Giant Hunt and lost. They really overbuffed the poise on that ash of war, in my opinion.
They also really need to do something about status buildup on phantom hits.
Chase you should do the Nox Flowing Hammer! It’s so much fun and makes me love the hammer class of weapons again
Dual Great Spears feel like an extremely unreliable moveset that opens you up to counters way too often, but two-handing a lone one is A+.
that fight aroud 5:20 sooo good
