Just did a run with the Bloody Helice and learned some neat things about the weapons skill: 1. Unlike waterfowl dance, you can delay the followup inputs for a significant amount of time. So after you dodge just wait and see if its safe to do the followup and then R2. 2. You can also just chain the dodge by pressing L2 again instead of the followup. Very good option when its not safe to do the followup. 3. Some enemies are hard to hit with the followup because they dodge backwards (for example the gargoyles). In this case you should unlock the camera, turn your character so their back is facing the enemy, and then use the weapon skill to dodge INTO the enemy. Super stylish and still very effective. Just make sure your not sprinting, as that annyoing turn around animation locks you out if the weapon skill.
I Hope the golden order greatswords will get buff or rework. This weapon look so cool and should be the ultimate holy paladin greatswords in my opinion.
Dude i admire you're patience, i love elden ring and made some playtroughs, but at some point i stop and try others games, you just go and go, its just insane, congrats and keep doing cuz your content its pretty good.
I wish the flowing hammer could double up as a pair of fists that also act like potent shields, just like in the boss encounter in Sellia. A bit bloodborne-like and very fitting for a quality weapon.
well rusty made the same list of unique skills and put it at i think number 50, and stated that the choice to put it at number 1 on his all weapons list had very little to do with the unique skill. He did also later say that mohgwyns spear should've been number 1 instead
Establish order on the golden order greatsword is really good against undead enemies, it kills them super fast and they don’t resurrect after. I always use it when fighting undead 100% of the time.
I have tested corpse pillar & bloodflame nagakiba with mods. With 60 arcane corpse pillar still outperforms bloodflame in terms of bleed build up (almost by x2). And bloodblade dance first combo does 60 stance damage if you hit everything & 2nd combo does 30 stance damage. Moonveil does 30 stance damage if you hit with the blade & only 14 with the projectile.
You really do produce the best Elden ring content. Thank you youwy. Also… please make a ranking of all gravity-based weapons (meteoric ore blade, star scourge, alabaster sword, onyx lord, wing of astel, astel flail thing, etc)
I think my 3 favs are the godslayers greatsword skill (wish it had more hyper armor), the dragon bolt from the bolt of gransaxx, and silurias tree. Silurias woe is so strong it’s so slept on
If you’re running STR/INT, the Helphens Steeple will out dmg the Dark Moon Greatsword by a respectable margin, which is why I use it. Plus you can use the AOW as an attack as it does dmg. I’m also a contrarian though so if something is meta or super powerful I make a conscious effort to not use it for some reason 😂
Also very based on choosing Marika's hammer as favourite. I don't like NG+ but still wanted to play a run with it. So I cheated it for early access. And I love that thing. awesome skill. Don't think I ever got knocked out of it
Vykes dmg issue: if the spear hits the enemy then the explosion won’t. Explosion does more damage. You have to land farther from the enemy so the spear misses.
I don’t think that’s it. There’s been times where that bonus damage comes in when hit directly and also times where I miss with the weapon and it still does bad damage
Nice to see Marika's hammer getting some love, my run with this weapon was amazinly fun. Then again I might be biased - I've had a thing for hammers ever since I picked up the craftsman's hammer in DS2.
For the Vyke Spear, the good damage only happens if you hit the enemy with *only* the AOE, as opposed to the normal attack. For some reason the AOE does more damage than the attack and the attack denies the AOE damage.
My latest play through is using the godslayer blade and honestly i think its great how it is. It’d be way too OP if you could just spam it and hyperarmour every hit. I like waiting for openings or stance breaks and then using it to rip half a bosses health off. But i may have an unpopular opinion here, I just like playing without just spamming ashes constantly

I just tested the Blasphemous Blade yesterday. I was shocked. It's really hard not to gatekeep as someone coming from DS 1-3 and beating every boss solo, but GODDAMN, there are so many crutches in Elden Ring.
@@thosebloodybadgers8499 true elitism is a bane on the community. But fromsoft also has some of the blame here i feel. Player sjust dont have very comparable experiences playing this game cuz some builds are just that broken. bleed and casting are just cut and dry optimized set ups. It wasnt always this centralized i feel
@@shevankaseneviratne1724 I don't agree because I don't think it ever mattered. Did people complain about that sorta thing in, say, even the first Souls titles, where your playthroughs as a mage and as a tanky melee fighter will be drastically different, particularly in regards to spikes of difficulty? Do CRPG fans complain about that sorta thing because different classes you can choose carry different strengths as well and will have different way of leveraging their strengths? Different players having different experiences is practically what video games were built for, the divergence of experience that stems from its interactive format is the main draw. The FromSoft fanbase right now is uniquely guilty of gatekeeping, for whatever reason that may be and I do not believe it's FromSoft's doing.
@@thosebloodybadgers8499 I appreciate the in-depth response. I think it has to do with the fact that the game still felt good to play as a pure melee character. But now based on the boss design around summons especially and the brokenes of other builds, other playstyles have fallen behind? Dont get me wrong elden ring is still awesome but collosal weapon enjoyers have been shafted hard i fear. Maybe there was similar hatred for dex users as well lol in earlier titles. Could it be Mages were always ahead of the curve but the gap has never been this wide.
I've finished a playthrough with royal greatsword yesterday...I feel that this is just a missed potential. It has all the qualities of a very good weapon, but really...why it just doesn't apply frost with basic attacks? Would've been an easy S-tier weapon...
Youwhy, I'm me to this channel, did you say you did a full playthrough with every weapon? If so major respect man, how many times have you beaten Elden ring? Favorite weapon? Thanks
A lot of people shit on the fire whip.. It works really great as a utility weapon, because it's so light you can equip it in a second slot easily without compromising weight limit, and it has huge fire base aoe, and it looks cool as fuck.
for frenzyflame thrust/vykes war spear it has 3 possible damage out puts, worst is if you miss with the spear but hit with fire, funnily second best is when you hit with spear, and the best is when you slightly miss with the spear, the small explosion when you hit the ground will do much more damage to them then if you hit with the spear itself. i still think it is optimal to go for making contact with the spear tho as it is unreliablwe and hard to aim to try to hit with the explosion, but not the spear
I think a huge problem in ER is that a lot of the skills are too slow. Majority of them are copied over from DS3 and keep the same speed, meanwhile the enemies are much faster. So basically unless you get a stagger, any time you use one of these unique skills you're either trading with an enemy or you get staggered out of it.
After seeing this I did a run with the ugly shield thingy that breaths fire and it was super tough and super fun! I agree with its placement because the fact that it blocks attacks while breathing fire makes it pretty risk free. The damage is poor but its safety makes up for it. The only boss I had trouble with was Maleketh, due to his sheer speed and insane stamina absorbing combos, but otherwise it was a fun playthrough. TLDR is If you question a weapon's placement on somebody's list, try it before you get mad at them : D
I feel like Wolf's Assualt should be a few places higher because of one thing you didn't mention: it's potential to roll catch. It probably does so even better in pvp (wouldn't know cause I don't have access to online stuff) but even in pve, the amount of nimble enemies that would dart out of the way of the first attack only to get hit by the followup explosion and get knocked flat on their ass was staggering. npc invaders, black knives, malenia... it's honestly kind of crazy. The only downside is that I have to kill my favorite boy if I want to get it T_T
I mean... Helphen's and Moonlight are different builds. Dark Moon requires 38 int, at which point that's full on an int build. Helphen's is much smoother there so if you just wanted a little side of Int (though 22 is already more than just a little side, tbf) while going more primarily into strength because you want to use some beeg shields and whatnot, Helphen's is more in line with the build there Not going to pretend it's just as good as Moonlight Greatsword, that would be ludicrious, but it DOES have a niche for itself, imo There's this sort of pathway of "mostly strength with a bit of int" weapons in the Carian Knight's Sword, Starscourge, Falling Beast Jaw, etc... and the Helphen's slots into those sorts of builds instead of the dedication that the Moonlight asks of you (even if it DOES reward you handsomely for it). Also as a small bonus, I guess, doing the full quest for Ranni is quite a lot whereas the Steeple is an easy mariner kill in a mandatory area so way more accessible, even if not necessarily earlier
Sword of night and flame still is really good. I swear even though I don't touch the game thaaat much though and rarely come back to this weapon, every time I just remember how it felt at the beginning. Idk maybe the way they changed it just wasn't great for how the gameplay of the weapon feels now. Still gr8 weapon, jus feels worse purely cause I played the more broken version once before. Almost wish I didn't, ignorance would b bliss
To answer your question, the helphen steeple is a much more skilful and fun weapon than DMGS. DMGS is good for low skill spammers as all you do is L2 and R1 chains.
@@cordyceps182 Yh but damage is less fun and just cheese through the game. I used a blasphemous blade build on my first playthrough and I didn’t get to appreciate the game as much as with a more difficult, ‘worse’ weapon.
@@cordyceps182 also I’m sorry to say but between somebody whose entire gameplay revolve around pressing l2 and someone who actually learns to beat the actual boss using a ‘worse’, the person with the ‘worse’ weapon is probably better at the game
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 I guess you are right. I just wish content creators made less builds on l2/ jump attack spamming and more on cool weapons like the helphen steeple instead of calling them ‘worse weapon’. I’m just tired of always seeing the same ‘overpowered’ build on TH-cam
"the third attack does like way more than the first two attacks and I'm not sure why" Immediately proceeds to mention the long animation between the first two and third hits That's why buddy, it's a long animation that's hard to pull off, making the third hit do more damage makes it worth trying to pull off Unfortunately not every weapon/spell/ability with a long animation sticks to this design philosophy lol Also if great serpent hunt had a projectile or range extension folks would be dodging you in PvP like most people dodge margit the first time "begin panic rolling when the animation starts, run out of stamina by the time it finishes and get hit"

This bro legit fighting Malenia with "torch attack" - what a f'ing G xD
Full torch playthrough, that's dedication
Vyke's war spear at 80? But I was told that it is the best weapon in the game!
To be that guy, Rusty himself said that Vykes ash of war is subpar. It's the weapon itself that Is the best in the game
@@shawnpcraineAnd even that is completely incorrect.
@@Idea_of_Lustre you probably just suck
The fire damage melts most enemies in my experience. Its a good weapon I think
Vykes war spear is underrated
You forgot about the magma blades biggest down side it's a 1% drop rate from a really rare enemy.
In all from' games the best weapons with low drop rate.
0.5% pretty sure
1% drop rate if you have like 99 arcane plus silver scarab, Discovery consumable (something fowl feet)

I played the game with the medium long horn, Marika hammer and coded sword. Idk, I guess i like holy damage

Wait, Waterfowl Dance does not activate the multi hit effects?
EDIT: Nah it definitely does. It triggers all three of them
It does but it doesn’t proc it based on the number hits but per attack. Sorry for the confusion
Rusty manages to do it because he sacrifices accuracy for humor.
I beat most of the game with the darkmoon greatsword, and I didn’t know you can charge up the projectile
Love your vids
You need to be careful when ranking weapons in this game. You might meet Ranni's wrath. Sarcasm aside, Good video man.
Blasphemous blade is so braindead that even goldfish are able to beat the game with it
DSP curb stomped some of the hardest bosses with it in his playthrough. Very braindead weapon.
About establish order maliket and godfrey both have 60% negate to holy so this dealing 2k means this is doing nuke levels of holy damage
Projective attacks on weapons made me stop using sorceries mid run as they are way superior
hey my dude what build/weapon you are personally using in the start of dlc?
"Holy damage is the worst type" proceeds to rank lots of holy damage skills in high tiers
I think that the sword of night and flame is pretty broken also after the nerf, it deserve to be at first place
I mean... Helphen's and Moonlight are different builds. Dark Moon requires 38 int, at which point that's full on an int build. Helphen's is much smoother there so if you just wanted a little side of Int (though 22 is already more than just a little side, tbf) while going more primarily into strength because you want to use some beeg shields and whatnot, Helphen's is more in line with the build there
Not going to pretend it's just as good as Moonlight Greatsword, that would be ludicrious, but it DOES have a niche for itself, imo
There's this sort of pathway of "mostly strength with a bit of int" weapons in the Carian Knight's Sword, Starscourge, Falling Beast Jaw, etc... and the Helphen's slots into those sorts of builds instead of the dedication that the Moonlight asks of you (even if it DOES reward you handsomely for it).
Also as a small bonus, I guess, doing the full quest for Ranni is quite a lot whereas the Steeple is an easy mariner kill in a mandatory area so way more accessible, even if not necessarily earlier
Sleep might get a buff in DLC. I hope so because I like the sword of St. Trina.
I like it too
Sword of night and flame still is really good.

Idk maybe the way they changed it just wasn't great for how the gameplay of the weapon feels now. Still gr8 weapon, jus feels worse purely cause I played the more broken version once before. Almost wish I didn't, ignorance would b bliss
It was nerfed and then buffed to a middle ground between the two. So it's a little weird if you played pre nerf I guess.
I watched the whole video waiting for the envoy longhorn just to see what you put on top of it.
do "Storm Kick" get the buffs from the DLC Kicks buffer talisman and Storms buffer talisman?
Another thank you to Steven
Really the top 2 weapons and builds are the bandit curved sword and the greatsword
Bro did my dragonsclae blade dirty its the best one 😢
Fun fact:
With the shield cannon if you have the right buffs and hit the head you can one shot Fortisachs (Fia quest final boss)
Youwy every YT video;
“This may be the best _______ in the entire game” 😂
Waterfowl does work with multi hit talismans (or at least it did 3 months ago when I get ng7)
Vykes war spear has a sour and sweet spot that's why it seems so bad sometimes
BB is just boring. Strong weapon, but very boring to play with.
BB is shortcut of what weapon?
@@JackTheRipperk5 Blasphemous Blade
@@BlackFlameMonk
Yeah, first is good, but then it's became monotonic and then it's boring
Number 14, what armor or outfit is that?
Nights Cavalry
To answer your question, the helphen steeple is a much more skilful and fun weapon than DMGS. DMGS is good for low skill spammers as all you do is L2 and R1 chains.
Translation: DMGS is better, so some people go with the worse weapon to feel better about themselves
@@cordyceps182 Yh but damage is less fun and just cheese through the game. I used a blasphemous blade build on my first playthrough and I didn’t get to appreciate the game as much as with a more difficult, ‘worse’ weapon.
@@cordyceps182 also I’m sorry to say but between somebody whose entire gameplay revolve around pressing l2 and someone who actually learns to beat the actual boss using a ‘worse’, the person with the ‘worse’ weapon is probably better at the game
@@polototo3041 who cares elden ring is not sekiro .
@@andrei-cezarbleaje5519 I guess you are right. I just wish content creators made less builds on l2/ jump attack spamming and more on cool weapons like the helphen steeple instead of calling them ‘worse weapon’. I’m just tired of always seeing the same ‘overpowered’ build on TH-cam
Magma guillotine carried me through most of my first play through 😂
"the third attack does like way more than the first two attacks and I'm not sure why"
Immediately proceeds to mention the long animation between the first two and third hits
That's why buddy, it's a long animation that's hard to pull off, making the third hit do more damage makes it worth trying to pull off
Unfortunately not every weapon/spell/ability with a long animation sticks to this design philosophy lol
Also if great serpent hunt had a projectile or range extension folks would be dodging you in PvP like most people dodge margit the first time "begin panic rolling when the animation starts, run out of stamina by the time it finishes and get hit"
