don't know if this is said but showing gameplay clips when you're explaining a certain move and showing what the effects of the talismans/armors in the beginning is such a huge improvement
pretty clever how Gravitational Missile covered the Repeating Crossbow at 4:15. Of course, there is very low chance they did that on purpose, but still.
Lightning strike can chain cast into Honed Bolt, which can catch people off guard, because a) the cast animations are really similar, so there's a good chance they'll read it as a second lightning strike, and b) Honed Bolt will skip it's initial cast animation and immediately come out at follow-up speed, which along with point a really catches ppl off guard. I often use this as a casting mix-up and/or finisher, since the honed Bolt almost always lands
I have to applaud chase, where in a community filled with toxicity, he stands out by not even pointing down on hosts shamelessly, turning off TT infront of him
And the most egregious example of bad Fromsoft quest design. Locked out of this incant for my whole playthrough because I didn't do two entirely unrelated questlines that require beating most of the game. So I'd have to basically beat the entire game against just for a SINGLE spell. And not having it utterly trashes this build, because you have no omnidirectional close range punish
@@mechamahou8467 that's just how Souls games work. Gotta find all the quest lines and most of them don't interact with each other so it's pretty easy to complete most of them in one playthrough
@@RuiNDieM1988 Im aware, but it's at its absolute worst in this game. Locking an incantation behind two quests with entirely separately related elements(death for fia, magic for Ranni) just makes no sense. It makes even less sense that you have to do BOTH questlines to get it. Just terrible design at its core.
I enjoy the invasions. I miss when you would run into the same guy in every video dueling outside of the Raya Lucaria Academy. They were really close fights, I forgot his username.
Fun build! An addition I’d recommend to setup for the bigger AoE spells is having one or two of the melee spells slotted. For the on theme version, I’d use the dragon claw, single use allows a quick swap to a Lightning cast follow up like Fortissax while the knockdown on the claw makes it far more likely for the Lightning to connect. Slightly less useful but also very fun is having crucible horns, the charged version is pretty quick, tracks ok and knocks the opponent into the air, allowing a free AoE spell straight after. When you get around to doing the staff of the great beyond, I hope you experiment a bit with the concept. i.e. Horns > zamor ice storm > dragonclaw > fortissax > Carian piercer. Catch ya next time!
I went back and was watching some of your Dark Souls3 content which was great, but seeing you improve even with addition of the DLC, has been great. Love the transition with the lightning glaive attack
2:30 ever since DLC dropped chase has been feeding us really good anime moments 4:04 this actually reminded me if the great mini boss battle chase had back in dark souls 3 with the guy in demon prince's arena
Someday, someone is gonna have Chase invade and that someone will realize that the invader is Chase. I ask of that person who recognizes Chase to swap their weapons to both the sleep torch and Nanaya’s torch. Let us have that be the symbol to show we recognize Chase. (I’m too broke to get the game so I don’t even have the opportunity to have Chase invade me. I enjoy the game vicariously through videos like this.)
I'm suprised the Repeating Crossbow is not more common. It grants so much pressure to a team against an invader. I also like it while I'm invading and find someone on a narrow road like the pipes in the sewers or anywhere that requires parkour. A lot of people just fall down trying to dodge. Couldn't really make it work in other situations as an invader tho.
The extra projectiles from Knight's Lightning Spear target the enemy you had lock on when they **spawned** around you. Not when the main projectile or them are released. That means that you can target two enemies with the same spell by switching the lock on mid charge like it happened at 11:46. One with the first projectile and the other with the rest.
Knights Lightning instantly became my go to incant and a permanent part of my arsenal when i first found it! Easily one of my favorite incants of all time! All this bugzappin got me thinking, seeing Blinkbolt in action would be pretty sweet. Ive been comboing it into the Pata's thrust, i imagine itd be even scarier on a longer thrusting weapon for chasedowns!
If you’d like an ash that by passes the sword of damnation ash miss follow up, vow of indomitable can be soft swapped to for quick activation and swapping again or just two handing, allows you to quickly end the vow allowing you to attack faster, not doing either gives you a longer ash enough to bypass probably even messmers spear sprouts lingering hitbox. For certain i don’t know
This is one of my favorite builds. For anyone running this I strongly recommend Death Lightning. Insane damage if it hits and a scary status left behind to make them think twice about being aggressive
Chase, I'm surprised you didn't work in the flowerstone gavel! I've been using it with the other dragon form, but that lightning debuff is juicy. Great stuff as always though my man.
Super fun build, happy to see you goofing around with some spells. I'd love to know if you'd consider doing the L2 enjoyer build though. There's so many ways to do it it could be a full on series (lightning, cold, etc like the gravity one you did) Whatever it is I'm looking forward to it.
Chase the Dragon. It reminded me the South Park episode with "Heroin Hero". I kept hoping chase would be like, "C'mon, catch me....c'mon, ya almost got me." :)
The new evolution of caster builds - "dishonest lizard". If more seriously - it can also be played with some protection and poise if you replace Dragon Form with Death Knight Set - each item boosts Lightning spells and Ashes and it provides much more protection and poise (but less damage boost though). Can be a decent alternative.
Hey Chase, idk if you know this; if you change target when the six lightning bolts charge, you can hit two separtae targets with one spell. Really cool trick if you dont know about it.
Lightning strike and honed bolt have the same animation so they chain together. You should try using a few strikes then swap to honed bolt to guarantee a sneaky hit or two on an enemy.
Oh wow, I didn't know you could use it a 2nd time to further buff lol. I like using this similar setup to help others fight Rellana. I'm going to use it a 2nd time now lol Thanks Chase lol 👍🏻
Chase, you should give the Smithscript Daggers with the Scattershot Ash of War a try, you can procc Bleed, frost and everything else in a single good hit
have you ever tried comboing incantations together? you can immediately cast lightning strike after honed bolt to throw people off. I wonder what's the longest smooth combo you could pull off. The blood talon incantation into ansbachs is super cool
3:20 the lightning ability does have an aoe I believe but lighti=ning should also have a chain effect that is unique to that element where if another enemy is nearby your lightning will jump to ankther person and hit them for a portion of the damage
The fact that we didn’t get a close range/melee lightning spell like catch flame is such a shame, would have been sick to swipe placudisax claw lightning attack as fast as catch flame or O’ flame
I so agree, then combine it immediately with one of the slower lightning things I mean dragon attacks like claw are pretty accurate even in a lightning build so ig that can work but yeah, sucks. Maybe if they buff static charge or whatever
It’s been two years chase, TWO YEARS!!!! Why haven’t you used ROSUS’ AXE in a showcase yet? Please use Rosus’s Axe in a showcase chasethebro. For the love of all things sacred use ROSUS’S AXE and kill somebody just one time. Just one time. Please.
don't know if this is said but showing gameplay clips when you're explaining a certain move and showing what the effects of the talismans/armors in the beginning is such a huge improvement
I agree its quite nice. Definitely gets 2 thumbs.
100% Agreed 👍🏻
and the little fade to black and fade back in after every invasion is small but still a great detail
Facts Chase has never stopped improving since DS3
The little thing in life🥲
Chase: "come here boys I promise nothing bad will happen"
Wizard: merely exists
Chase: "dishonest wizard"
1:22 That transition was sick
Literally was just gonna note this also 😅
Ya holy shit
I actually had to rewatch this part just to make sure
I had to rewatch. I didn't even notice the first time 😂
9:24 “you always wanna go in with protection” wise words from chasethebro 🗣️🗣️
get it? because penises
Last time I went in unprotected I ended up being a father for the second time. 😂
@@paulocarvalho6480 Hey man, we gotta reproduce somehow. You are are doing your job continuing humanity.
i swear he does his best to not laugh when he says things like that😂
3:12 A fellow wizard.
Yes Chase, embrace the dishonesty.
1:22 Nah chase just casually dropping wild transitions without notice
2:22 "Going up"
Yessir you were!
Chase this was a perfectly timed upload..I just sat down for lunch
Edit: 12:41 That was straight disrespect towards a fellow dragon build 😂😂
4:35 “host is getting rather close.”
4:38 “host is dead.”
9:22 Chase just very casually going "you always wanna go in with protection" knocked the wind out of me
Hey guys. Chase the Bolt here
You are fired…..
My favoirite comments as of late ❤
Chase the Lightning
pretty clever how Gravitational Missile covered the Repeating Crossbow at 4:15. Of course, there is very low chance they did that on purpose, but still.
4:00 *
It’s fun to do that when you use the Microcosm too because of the opacity, they’ll never see it coming. Like “darkness” but with damage
Nanaya’s torch has maddening damage
so much damage it’s INSANE!
It’ll throw your enemies into a frenzy
@@jaidenmorris8333 just did a video on that torch, it’s mad bro

that transition at the beginning for the Lansseaxs glaive was CLEAN
O Chase, O vile Chase! We require of thee a new madness build! Midra's flame of frenzy's needs your help!
3:55 am I trippin or is that dude casting sorceries with a Euporia?
Visual glitch of the Euporia transferring its luster onto a weapon. Doesn't actually do anything except make it look like you're holding pure light
The effect was just glitched for whatever reason
FR LMAO
I have to applaud chase, where in a community filled with toxicity, he stands out by not even pointing down on hosts shamelessly, turning off TT infront of him
A community filled with dishonest wizards I might add….
@5:57, that was pretty badass! 😂 I frames for the win.
Your ghost skulls have no power, wizard
Fortisaax's Lightning Spear is a lore accurate, close range showstopper. So much damage
Probably my favorite incantation

I think it might have been Link?
Adding the breakdown of all the strategies with example clips at the start makes these (already great) videos a lot better.

1:02 "Chip damage"

Wise words Chase wise words.

5:55 the most epic entrance, absorbing power of spells :D
2:30 ever since DLC dropped chase has been feeding us really good anime moments
4:04 this actually reminded me if the great mini boss battle chase had back in dark souls 3 with the guy in demon prince's arena
Blues are too funny in this video, all of them spawn from no where and then jump scare you
At 2:53 reminds me of the classic box art for Hero Quest! That wizard duel with the Chaos Sorceror art completed that battle scene!
12:40 the amount of disrespect, amazing lol
Someday, someone is gonna have Chase invade and that someone will realize that the invader is Chase. I ask of that person who recognizes Chase to swap their weapons to both the sleep torch and Nanaya’s torch. Let us have that be the symbol to show we recognize Chase.
(I’m too broke to get the game so I don’t even have the opportunity to have Chase invade me. I enjoy the game vicariously through videos like this.)
I've seen that happen, well minus the nanaya because pre-dlc.
They regretted it very, very quickly.
Yeah, it's happened with St. Trina's Torch. Good times.
"You guys all have fingerprint shields, you all look the same to me."
That made me laugh so hard!
This is such a glass cannon build
Chase got the best Mr. Munchkins man support at 11:40
11:48 I love the Shadow Militiamen support
I'm suprised the Repeating Crossbow is not more common. It grants so much pressure to a team against an invader.

21:05 "This is kinda evil but it's kinda funny" that's great
That smooth transition edit with the Lansseax. Exceptional, Chase 👌🏼👏🏼
Nothing more satisfying than having a well tuned build just do massive damage
The Toothwhip has poisonous damage
for an item with lore as sick as that item, should have rot too lol
@@timelineenjoyerwould make a pretty decent whip if so
It's a good day when Chase uploads (that's every day, every day is good for reasons like this)
the last thing any host would expect from a wizard... fist weapons!
I beat elden ring and the dlc 3 times dragon cult is easily the strongest build in the game.the damage is outrageous and will be that way up to NG+7.
5:58 Possibly the coolest way to enter a fight.
If you’d like an ash that by passes the sword of damnation ash miss follow up, vow of indomitable can be soft swapped to for quick activation and swapping again or just two handing, allows you to quickly end the vow allowing you to attack faster, not doing either gives you a longer ash enough to bypass probably even messmers spear sprouts lingering hitbox. For certain i don’t know
Havent watched you in a few months but I liked hiw you showed what each talisman did, pretty good touch to your vids 👍
I love that Honed Bolt chains into Lightning Strike and vice versa
This is one of my favorite builds. For anyone running this I strongly recommend Death Lightning. Insane damage if it hits and a scary status left behind to make them think twice about being aggressive
It doesn't matter if he wields big stick or not, Chase will always bonk you
Chase, I'm surprised you didn't work in the flowerstone gavel! I've been using it with the other dragon form, but that lightning debuff is juicy. Great stuff as always though my man.
Absolutely my favorite build in this game. Everything has such low lightning negation, that the incantations hit like a damn truck.
Love how the first death was the hardcore crutcher of the patch
Would love to see a video where you use whatever build you'd like, but you use your knowledge and experience as a blue, a hero arc if you will
I’ve been loving this recent string of delete builds.
Super fun build, happy to see you goofing around with some spells.
I'd love to know if you'd consider doing the L2 enjoyer build though. There's so many ways to do it it could be a full on series (lightning, cold, etc like the gravity one you did)

You've been hit by, You've been struck by, a smooth ChaseTheBro ~
packing her flower mace is also hilarious if you land the ash on people, lightning debuff is nasty.
12:39 Hahah I didn’t even know that possible!

But you probably already knew this didn't you 😏
*“Yo, what’s up guys, Chase the Bolt here!”*
finally I can learn how to make my dragon communion priestess build better, definitely going to have to rebuild it though
Being dragon has corrupted Chase. He didn't bow ONCE this video. Dishonest dragon
9:20 Chase educating the masses as usual 😤
There is yet another transformation chase, one not made for dishonest spell buffs, but instead cool and very honest smacks
Need more of this build. We need more knights lightning spear one shots
Oh wow, I didn't know you could use it a 2nd time to further buff lol. I like using this similar setup to help others fight Rellana. I'm going to use it a 2nd time now lol
Thanks Chase lol 👍🏻
7:50 dodge there was so clean lol
9:23 Facts
Lightning Priestess vs Death Knight, some epic lightning battles ensue
Chase: “You always wanna go in with protection.”
Me: That’s what she said 👀
I dare you to say "another Elden Ring DLC build video" in a DIFFERENT intonation in the next video
"another... Elden Ring??? DLC BUILD VIDEO!!!!"
Elden Ring: Lamenter builds make me cry of happiness
It didn't really shock me that Chase would post this video.
I hardly ever watch the whole video. But I did today. Those dragon people builds look really cool. Especially not using any weapon.
Wow, Dragon Cult incantations buffed by priestess heart is NASTY!
Im suprised not much ppl run this build, that Honed bolt dmg when fully charged is nuts
I wish the Deeproot Depths invasion would've lasted longer, that area is perfect for this build
Chase, you should give the Smithscript Daggers with the Scattershot Ash of War a try, you can procc Bleed, frost and everything else in a single good hit

My guy never seems to be as strong with the same setup
I've heard that Nanyas torch is shockingly good!
Does faith/lightning count as being a wizard?🤔
Another excellent video, dragon builds are very enjoyable, we are waiting for more buddy :)
We want a bow build video Chase.
It’s been two years chase, TWO YEARS!!!! Why haven’t you used ROSUS’ AXE in a showcase yet? Please use Rosus’s Axe in a showcase chasethebro. For the love of all things sacred use ROSUS’S AXE and kill somebody just one time. Just one time. Please.
Rosus Axe isn’t even bad
Easily my favorite player, his movement is so clean and fun to watch
