At this point i watch his channel for:
1-the good vibes
2-actual content
He is a real bro, just chilling. Thanks for the bangers and i hope you have a nice day
Huge, and i mean massive, SAME
For real these videos are relaxing to watch/listen to cus of how chill Chase is
I know exactly what you mean. Even if I didn't play the game or care about the weapon showcase I'd 100% still watch these lol
3-waiting for him to actually lose a duel lol, you rule bro
Wow, a non-int scaling frostbite weapon. That's pretty dope, and the r2 is cool too. Great work on the series
The frostbite scales pretty well with the primary stat (str or dex), so it's not only viable, but very effective to use cold scaling with any build except pure faith (and possibly arc).
Agreed that the series is dope af though, along with all of Chase's content!
Dragon Halberd may be for you! Super underrated
Anyway, just Putting 25 points in int, you can make a brutal frostbite build with any weapon, but frozen needle is still a very good option if you don't want to spend those levels
@@ricardodarcangelo2437 The frost is completely unaffected by weapon level OR your stats, tho. IIRC frost status is only increased by INT scaling, so the lack of any such scaling means it's always locked at 60 frost. Also makes it one of the weakest frost tools.
@@ryxtan Innate frost, yes.
If you apply a frost affinity to a weapon however, you can scale the buildup with the level of the weapon AND its primary stat.
Brother Chase, I just wanna say these videos have helped reinvigorate the game for me. So many weapons to try. I hope for a DLC that will carry this game back to the moon.
I thought I was bored after my first playthrough... made 3 more characters since then 😂
@@awrebyawe I'm on NG+3 but am making an actual PVP 125 char now. Barely any dueling above 200 unfortunately.
@@rogue2shadow I'm still finding duels at 350 and 561
@@lrwkobra1 then I need to git gud brother haha
@@lrwkobra1 same at 495. Plenty still at academy gate
Getting Chase down to half hp activates his second phase, the I'm actually going to take this seriously now phase
while I do enjoy the Frozen Needle, it's such a fun and unique thrusting weapon, I feel like whenever the Goat set is involved the showcase is more of a poise showcase than a weapon showcase lol
I feel like he used the armor to demonstrate a unique aspect of the weapon which was how incredibly light they are
And the value of the thrusting counterstrike+spear talisman+frostbite
EASILY the most enjoyable Elden Ring content
Thanks Bro
Here I am the entire time thinking that "counter attacks" on the Spear Talisman meant counter attacking with a shield. So as long as the enemy is in an attacking animation, you get the bonus so long as you're using a thrusting weapon? Sounds like a really strong talisman for PvE then as well?
It's generally not as good in PvE since trading into enemies usually is not worth it.
Yeah it's great in PvE too if you can wail on an enemy/boss while they're doing a move
@@AllantheBob If you use shield it is pretty safe.
As a summon, items VERY good, as long as the other players are decent at keeping agro and not dying while doing it, then yeah it’s good in PvE
@@AllantheBob There are a surprising number of moves in pve where you can abuse it, especially against bosses. You don't need to trade with enemies since the pierce vulnerability is both during attacks and during recovery frames after attacks. You can use this to heavily punish bosses that use a long recovery move or a move that you can easily avoid (for example, running up to a dragon as they breath gives you a LOT of time to just go ham on their head).
Against vaguely human rank and file enemies it's not that useful since their recovery frames are mostly the same as a players, thus you'd need to trade to reliably hit them since your window to counter attack during recovery is small, but against any monstrous or gargantuan enemy that doesn't fly around like a crack fiend you can really fuck their day up.
I've tried using those, honestly I couldn't get a feel for em. Still hoping to see either urumi or guardian's spearsword
I am also hoping for the guardian swordspear
Probably the low damage. It is ouclassed by all other rapiers i think and not being able to switch ashes hurts it even more
@@karimhegazy3866 Exactly. I used it with rogiers in the off hand. I eventually just switched to the estoc because that damage was disappointing and infusions give you better frost buildup :(
Still, the needle has a fun moveset.
Love the sword spear. Very fun weapon and very versatile.
Couldn't agree more, the urumi's moveset is so unique and its range is insane
I would see this man in full goat armor and two pokey weapons and I’d jump right off the edge
Very interesting that this weapon doesn't scale with int despite having frostbite and a ranged heavy attack
7:30 “Never use guard counters” - Sun Tzu, _The Art of War_
8:00 “A player who uses one of the few telegraphed attacks available to them in the game, in pvp, is chad as fuck” - Sun Tzu, _The Art of War_
“I never said that!“ - Sun Tzu , The Art of War
I used this as my main weapon along with a brass shield on my first elden ring playthrough. The ranged option on the heavy attack, since it doesn't cost any fp, means you can use it in almost every circumstance, as well as allows the frozen needle to take engagements at a range you wouldn't be able to with almost any other weapon. In addition to its versatility, the frozen needle is a solid boss killer with its speedy moveset and frostbite buildup. My only complaint is that I wish it had a more unique ash of war. I think a modified version of ice spear would have fit it very well.
"You are already dead"
Didn't think Chase was trained in deadly arts of the Hokuto Shinken...
Souls NetCode certainly is. Causality is optional.
Loving the weapon choices. Would love to see dual Ghizas wheels next!
Hell yeah, I was waiting for this one. Very *cool* weapon, kinda wish the weapon art was an unique frost imbued thrust tho.
Considering how some ‘unique’ AoWs are really just a mashup of two different AoWs, it wouldn’t have been too crazy to have Frozen Needle have a combination of Impaling Thrust and Ice Spear for its AoW
@@friedrichsanktgermain7632 for real, missed opportunity I think.
these vids are so fun to watch. thanks for the content chase, we all aspire to be as skilled as you one day
Wow! You did it! That was fast,👍 I just asked about this in the axe of Godfrey showcase from two days ago! you have yourself a new subscriber
Didn't use the Ash of War once because the needle toss IS the ash. Still its really strange what FS decides can and can't be infused.
Great video man, can't wait to binge the whole series over!
Yay new showcase! I would love to see some shields and whips. Keep it up!
Broooooo that was my suggestion like three videos ago. Thanks Chase!!
Huh, I literally just started Malazan book of the fallen YESTERDAY and here we run into Caladan Brood. Loved this showcase as the frozen needle is a staple weapon on my dex mage and it’s cool to see it used well! Keep it up!
I’m on the third book; it’s soooooo good. Although there’s basically no handholding so the first book can be confusing haha.
@@alexg.2430 ohhhhhh yeah still getting through that part, but I am enjoying it! I’m coming off of a full reread of the stormlight archive so I’m really excited to have a new fantasy world to dig into
Malzan is amazing, Im on Deadhouse gates, sadly it's hard to find good 2-3 hours to read a good book and audiobook for Malazan is so confusing Wheel of Time and Malazan are pretty much the best followup for Stormlight fans.
@@gatsu7742 nice! I tried to start wheel
of time a few months back and I couldn’t keep up with it which is actually how I ended up rereading stormlight. Rn the setting of malazan is what’s keeping me on board all the places are just so neat I can deal with not understanding any of what’s actually happening yet
never even heard of this weapon so im excited to see what it does, just shows how many things are in this game
You can find it in the ruins right before you come across iji. Right outside carian manor. Theres a fake floor covering the passage to the boss that guards it.
Less "how many" and more "how out-of-the-way".
@@bobzthabarbarian damn stuff must be real easy to miss in this game
@@joenu7s it really can be. I've done a lot of research on here to help me find most weapons and armor that i missed on my first playthrough.
@@joenu7s this one in particular is really well hidden… I went through that area 3 times without ever noticing the damned fake floor…
I’d love to see a showcase of the blackbow. It’s a longbow that has the fast shots that the shortbows have
IT DOES?! I gotta find that
@@northernhand9781 somewhere in leyndell, but I forget where
love the grind! would like to see the crescent moon axe next
If im not mistaken you can follow up the feint with an L1 or R1 to go for some mixups. You lunge a little forward ending about a half step ahead from where you initially started. Using it with a heavy thrusting sword can break poise more often than not and in my opinion Be a cool tech option.
yep, and if you unlock the camera, hold the heavy attack and twirl the left stick *slightly* and you can do a really super easy reverse feint backstep and it’s actually insane. It’s crazier on curved swords because the backflip makes it look trippy and hard to read but it’s cool on these too.
Yo would love to see sword of night and flame used to see it everywhere until it was nerfed but it’s still a great weapon and it’s a lot of fun
There were a few really good opponents in the duels. I'm excited to see how this series progresses if you start to encounter a higher proportion of skilled opposition.
You should try pairing the needle with the real greatsword.
It has very unexpected combos
Great showcase! The bullgoat was a smart move. I would've figured you would use the rotten winged talisman and stuck with L1s but the poise trading really worked out! Hoping for Helphen's Steeple next. Keep up the great work
This might be my favorite weapon showcase yet. The very nature of the build leads to some really close and entertaining fights to watch. Cheers!
I love this weapon, pestering people with your little projectiles reminds me of the crow quills from ds3.
*Chase on that last fight:* Omae wa mou shindeiru.
*Laggy opponent:* Nani?!
Can't believe I've been sleeping on this. A better wing of astel! Frost and a projectile from canceling the r2, able to get the second I start a new character. Time for some low level invasions
Just as I was wanting to go with a rapier/sorcery pve build and had this weapon in mind; happy to see it in action! Thinking it's mid range projectile attack would couple well with longer range glintstones and glintblade phalanx to create nice little zones of control from long/medium/stabbing for a spellblade kinda deal
Yay i was waiting for this weapon to make it too the showcase.
I’d love to see the Dragon Halberd- I love the variety of attacks you get from powerstancing the poke halberds and changing between the L1 and R1 and the ash of war is aesthetically cool if nothing else (that being said if you wait a second before doing the follow up people do get caught out by it.)
This weapon is one of my favorites. I use the feint attack a lot with curved swords and rapiers and have gotten really good with it but it’s very strong on these since it still launches a projectile if you feint unlike astel’s wing.
Chase we need "omae wa mo shindeiru" before someone with very high lat explodes. Like the last fight
The episode iv been waiting for !!!
the screen shake and noise from the knives hitting you was INSANE 12:45
Never discovered this weapon on either on of my playthroughs. Definitely gonna try it out once I get it, very similar to its DS2 counterpart!
Honestly I haven't played this game in weeks I'm kinda worn on it but just watching this guy's videos are so relaxing and chill. Great content
Cool showcase! I love that more weapons get unique R2s in Elden Ring. Waiting for Family Heads
Always watching, love the content. Wouldn’t mind a duel curve sword vid at some point. Or even the holy straight swords. Still love the content, only got into the FromSoft games w/ elden ring but you’ve been a happy intro into the scene!
"whenever i see that chest piece i think they're gonna use dragon attacks" -chase when looking at THE DRAGON SET
hey good job chase first time showcasing a weapon I didn't know anything about! I think this would be cool with the antspur affined with bleed. Get bleed, frost, and rot all in one go!!
What's up Chase, would love to see you try the Ornamental swords out. Grafted scion moveset. Pretty neat
that knights greatsword or whatever it's called that 'greatsword fan' was using has a really cool moveset that i always forget about! sadly no thrusts that i know of but still unique, would love to see a showcase on those (or the reduvia c: )
Been waiting for this! Such a special weapon and pretty easy to get
May I suggest the dual wielding the beastman cleaver? I am curious what you could make of it.
I Really Hope From will open all those coliseum, PVP has so Much potential if it could be a bit more structured and less obscure to welcome more players. Rankings, 1v1, 2v2, or whatever. Even including bosses, fighting multiple at once in crazy Battle.. They could do so much fun things.
And for PVP, I don't know any equivalent with such nice moveset, weapons designs, builds setups..
I don't know maybe it has already be expected for long by the community but never really happened for some reasons, I just hope, would be great.
By the way, great video as usual.
Keep up these amazing videos! They are super informative and I can't wait to duel with some of these weapons.
The miquellan straight sword is an interesting weapon I have seen some debate over if it is good or not. It has high base damage, D scaling in faith and quality, and it has sacred blade as the AoW. Also a unique R2 attack. Some people say it is good, some say it sucks.
I would be interested in a showcase for it to test it out. But tbh, any weapon you use will end up looking good lol. Your Axe of Godfrey video is legendary!
Hey Chase, I hope you've safely arrived at your vacation destination, and you enjoy it!
Thanks for the great content dude! Hopefully, we get a new invasion stream after you get back?
Of course! I will be back to my regular streams once i return the final week of June.
guardian swordspear, it is a halberd with ar on the higher side , a really quick alternative r1 moveset and the regular running r1 poke while also taking multiple ash of wars.
I enjoy the charge cancel fade back, followed by LB to rush back in.
needed and appreciated
seeing chase in full bull-goats frightens me.
i know you did a colossal weapon recently, but i'd be very interested in the golem's halberd. it has the faster heavy attacks of a halberd, but the hyper armor of a colossal weapon, which could be really good for mixups. also its default skill (charge forth) normally cant be applied to colossals so it might be interesting to try out, but you wouldn't be able to use affinities.
Loving the showcases chase was my favorite shit back in the day. Maybe get wierd with cipher pata or the fist weapon that enoja drops you get a lil funky with some fist weapon
Ensha* and it’s called the clinging bone
It may not be as good as the op-stick-of-doom that was the ice rapier from DS2 but it does look way cooler
As always, really enjoyable! This series is *cracked!*
Alva is pretty impressive. People like them and you are the reason I pvp in this game.
Lol I thought I had found every weapon in the game and then chase comes out with this I’ve never heard of it before, I MUST FIND IT
I would like to see you do a show case of the Morning Star. It’s one of the only hammers with pokes and natural bleed. Honestly I really think it might be the most slept on weapon imo.
Bro, I'd love to see you trying out the Ornamenal Straight Sword, the one you get from the grafted scion at the chapel of anticipation
Unless I've forgotten that you already did it, I'd love to see Wing of Astel.
I love watching these videos after work everyday! Would you mind doing the great stars with the prayerful strike ash of war?
U can combo the backstep attack at your second attack it SUPER quick
Chase, duel wielding any thrust sword is the way to go! Especially with rotten winged and millicent prosthesis
Would love to see the Great Stars mace with the bloodflame blade (the spell applies the same stats for all levels of faith/arcane)
Wing of Astel has the same concept as this weapon but better. You can basically play pretty much exclusively with the projectiles as they have better tracking, the charged r2 shoots two which makes it hard to dodge both, and the projectiles are generally wider. Additionally combined the uncharged r2 + projectile does 150 poise damage 1 handed and 160 2 handed, breaking even a full bullgoat in one hit. This means opponents who try and trade your r2 at close range will often lose, even when in hyper armour with a heavy weapon such as a colossal sword.
You can also make the r2 projectile very hard to react to by firing it from behind the "Nebula" ash of war. Though it doesn't apply to your weapon showcases, the ash of war also true combos into a Moonveil swap for over 3k damage on most builds i.e. an instant one shot on even a rune arc'd host.
That last battle lmfao someone in another dimension catchin those non registered hits
I'd love to see the Godslayer Greatsword featured, I wanna see how you use the weapon I finished my campaign with.
I would really like to see you showcase the Wing of Astel, preferably with the powerstance. We haven't seen any curved blades yet.
you should definitely try the serpent bone blade! i think its one of the more unique katanas and poison lowkey underrated
Next somber weapon you should try is the Celebrants Cleaver. It is the only weapon that isn't a Greatsword or Claymore that I regularly use, especially in pvp
It's heavy attack is a running lunge that takes alot of people off guard in my experience. Usually I use the warped axe as a secondary because it does a bit more damage but doesn't mess with the attack patterns.
Of course I love using Flaming Strike as my main art of war on it.
Hope to see it sometime! Stay cool Chase!
Not surprised it catches so many people off guard, I’ve done probably 2000 invasions in this game have only seen it a couple times.
hey man, thanks for all the consistent content for so many years. Normally I just lurk, but I wanted to say thanks once
:3
Looks like a fantastic counter against Rivers, the powerstance goes nuts on their bodies and the unique heavy attacks can safely reach them during their relatively stationary L1 spam. Might give it a try
Would love to see a natural paired weapon like the ornamental straight swords next!
Just got this weapon. I been using the troll knight sword, perfect change of pace go light weight
I loved the jolly *"hello Virgil!"*
I'm really excited to see powerstanced Great Knives
Love the duels! Would love to see the coded sword showcased
Just here to say this is such a good channel. So respectful and skilled and entertaining. You have it all! I was wondering how you get to respec so much. You copy and reuse your save data, I suppose? That would also explain why you can +10/+25 everything without having to do NG+ over and over again. Have a good one!
Chase is the ONLY channel that i subscribe with notification on xD, CANT MISS THIS SHIT
I'd love to see the Warhawk Talon featured. Catching people off guard with the r2s has worked well for me!
gravitas is gnarly on it
Always great vibes
Chase can you please use serpentbone blade for a showcase, the successive attacks talismans are good for the heavy and ash of war
Just a small tip, but the best part of this moveset is something you missed. After the projectile backstep press 1H light attack to move forward and attack, it moves forward almost as much as the impaling thrust, closes the distance extremely well and quickly. Also, backstepping twice after the projectile allows more distance, obviously. But spacing for this weapon is more important than and weapon I have used. This is an in and out weapon that requires some skill, instead you just put on that atrocity, a little dissapointed in this one, but I enjoyed it, cheers. Also impaling thrust allows you to get out of dodge, more spacing. I think if you play it like that you will enjoy the weapon more.
You don’t need to space as much when you can consistently win trades with high poise and damage, I take your point though.
@@spiraljumper74 I know that, but this is a weapon showcase, not an armor showcase, emphasizing the importance of poise. And if he played in the way I described, he would be able to defeat high poise, which is something I would have liked to see. This was a bad weapon showcase and I hope he redoes it, cause this is a good weapon. Also, I really just do not like looking at that armor, I literally can only look at it for so long before I have to avert my eyes. I think its the most ugliest, grotesque looking thing in the game, and not in a good way.
@@scrobinja8566 Oh it’s ugly as hell. I despise it on a visceral, deep level. They really need to rebalance poise, buff some of the mid-weight armors, and rethink poise breakpoints for some weapon classes.
@@spiraljumper74 Yeah, they do. Pretty much every day I check their twitter for an update lol. Balance is pretty bad in this game, still the best game I have ever played. For me, moonveil, rivers need to be nerfed by like 30-40 percent, BHS, and like 90 percent damage reduction with scarlet aeonia, love that spell, but its like a kamikaze suiiiiicide mission in pvp lol. I think more health would solve alot of problems too, but then they would have to change pve to be more damaging. I also wanna see the ringed finger AOW make people go flying like 10 meters, would be hilarious, has great hyper armor though. Anyway, enjoy your day :).
Aw yiss been waiting for this one
when you watch the video before the notification arrives 😜
i love this weapon, and the ice rapier was one of my favorite weapons in ds2
Can you please try the magma wyrm blade or the dragon halberd they’re pretty cool weapons that I don’t see much and I’d love to see them in the hands of a professional
If you do the dodge heavy attack, it counts as a backstep so if you chained that with a light attack you get a really far travelling attack
I'm gonna keep asking for a Bastard's Stars showcase, that nebula thing can catch people off guard and can do a lot of damage. One for the Family Heads dex/int mace would be really cool too
Hey chase, I was wondering if you could do the guardian swordspear next. I like the weapon and was wondering what you thought of it. Keep up the good work.
Chase can you do a weapon showcase on the flamberge? It’s a great sword with bleed, kinda rare and I never see anyone use it! I think it’s got some potential
it a good weapon, only shame is that it no longer have sweeping two handed R1 like in DS3 (the same R1's as Elden Ring Knight/Banished Knight GS, and Inseparable Sword)
i made a crazy build with this weapon glad it made it to a showcase
That last invasion though. Moonveiler got a fitting anime death
Could you showcase a curved greatsword? I find it hard to use them but they feel so good
Would love to see you try the Black Knife. Looks prettu cool
Is it cool to use the Grossmesser because on one of my non PVP characters I've been rocking two of them and they seem to do really good on cold and strength builds the most
