Good list surprised you didn't mention Mohgs spear or blasphemous blade. Given glad your mentioned underrated weapons. Fun fact Malenia great run plus Maria's great sword heals a good amount since each hit on the AOW is a seperate attack. Lot of people miss this on NG+ it's pretty much like playing blood born in terms of healing.
@@Saven-yh7tq Does the ash of war stagger Malenia though? I know the first phase will but I'm pretty sure she can walk through the next two?? - I know most enemies don't get staggered by the last two phases which is why it ultimately didn't make it on the list :)
@@tkcjazzaI beat Malenia first try using moghwyns sacred spear so it definetly should be there wait for a attack that she has a long recovery and use it once
@@GB2G Imo it was a contender pre shadow of the erdtree due to the switchup between crouch pokes and r2 pokes, although in retrospect I would probably give the edge to Banished Knight's greatsword if talking purely base game
Blasphemous blade is the best and most versatile weapon in the game doing insane stagger and poise damage, the ability to stack multiple fire buffs, high AR, high scaling and a healing effect on kills and ash of war use.
The reason why it’s not on the list is because it’s hella boring - I have a lot more fun with these weapons but I know 90% of players would easily put it in the top 10/top 3 weapons. I just simply prefer using these instead :)
@@tylerrobbins8311 most of the top tier pve weapons aren’t good for pvp, I.e. DMGS, Blasphemous, Maria’s executioner isn’t good unless your opponent is blind and walks into the ash of war, moghwyns is only good for ganking. If you wanted to rank the best pvp weapons it wouldn’t be a lot of somber smithing weapons, usually just basic weapons that you can equip a crazy ash of war to
Blasphemous blade is the best weapon in game overall. It's very strong, its skill is op, it inflicts both physical and fire damage and the best part is that it gives back your lost hp whenever you kill an enemy..
Even though I’d put Blasphemous on the list, this list is surprisingly solid 👌👌 The only weapon I’d remove for the Blasphemous blade is Eleonora’s poleblade, for the simple fact that twin blades are one of the more difficult weapon types to master (still incredibly powerful weapon type tho)
Yeah, I actually had wing of astel in the list originally but removed it for the envoy's Longhorn! - I suggest using that after you've beat the game with the wing of astel!
Question. I’m debating to make level 1 character to use any build but what’s more fun get to NG+7 or start with a new character. Weapon list if cool. Thinking about a dragon blade build. But what is the best way to go ?
Duel Bandit curve sword is definitely better than Scavenger, it has way better scaling and does way more physical dmg when bleed doesn’t work, paired with ash of war cragblade Nagakiba is the best Katana bcs again, better scaling than Moonveil, can trigger bleed easily and when equipped with spinning slash, you can perma stagger humanoid enemies easily, including Malenia, plus it has great reach too Duel wielding Cross-Naginata should also be mentioned, when equipped with Braggart’s Roar and Endure ash of war, you literally become a unkillable tank that does insane physical and bleed dmg, and you do sh*t load of poise dmg as well, plus long reach again, this is as braindead as Fingerprint shield + Bleed spear poke back in the days but better
lol I know right. When the game first came out the rivers of blood was stupid but my favorite weapons to use was the sword of night and flame before they nerfed it. Sword of night and flame during the first two weeks was ridiculous. You can be a level 40 and that sword would carry you for the whole game
@@philliesfan3414 it was probably the most broken weapon but magic wasnt my style that's why i didnt use it but saw so many videos of it where people were just cheesing with it's comet ability..
13:02 the best part of bolt of gransax is that you can simply equip it into your secondary main hand weapon slot while sacrificing a few heavy armour or points on endurance. The utilty is insane in open world since now u can destroy your enemies both close and long range with two diff weapons. Not to say, since it scales with dex and strength, you pretty much can use any of the top weapons like bloodhounds fang, malenias hand to complement it without affecting scaling etc. Perfect for melee fighters, instead of wasting points on faith to get range spells, go into endurance to equip bolt of gransax on 2nd slot.
The 3 weapons I routinely whip out as an intelligence build are the Darkmoon GS, Death's Poker and Moonveil so I think your top 10 rocks. I also have pretty high dex so might have to try the bolt of gransax for fun
I was one hit away from dying to Melania for the 100th thousandth time and so was she. She rose in the air to perform her waterfowl dance. I was too close to run away for a chance for survival. I unleased the Moonveil and she died....
For those of u confused as to why blasphemous blade and mohgwyns spear arent on the list, they arent as overpowered as people say they are, mohg spear almost 100% of the time requires bosses to be aggro against ur summon since ur stationary for so long and it rarely ever staggers a boss so ur almost always getting hit or only getting 1 or 2 nihils and blasphemous blades damage really isnt that great regardless of what everyone says
Damage is not everything though, the healing that you get from blasphemous Blade makes clearing out areas a complete joke ( yes, not everything is bossfights, you know ? ) While also having really solid damage ( as much as the moonveil for example) And moghwyn's sacred spear you just need to break the enemie's stance for getting the damage with that Nuke of an Ash of war Defo better weapons than magma Blade ( amazing Ash of war, everything else, meh, while moghwyn's sacred spear is still a great weapon thanks for great spears being as strong as they are ) and maliketh's ultragreatsword ( other ultragreatswords like the godslayer one gets more damage, plus holy damage is the worst performance wise )
@@jajasking9652 problem is the damage on both of those weapons fall off in the NG+‘s and healing really isn’t too much of an issue in this game anyway as there’s so many checkpoints/respawn points outside boss arenas so you pretty much always have max flasks. Mogh’s spear only really works if your enemy is staggered as like Mathew said, you don’t natural stagger the enemies with the ash of war anymore so you need to have a summon take the agro. The magma blades deal similar damage and works against every enemy and you don’t have to rely on the ash of war - it also does more poise damage and is just a lot more versatile which is the same reason why the other weapons also made it on the list :)
@jajasking9652 the holy damage from malikeths blade us negligible and doesnt really matter when most important bosses are accompanied by an annoying large hp bar which destined death is great against, magma blades when used right with knowledge of boss combos easily out dps blasphemous blade with jump attacks and aow DOT and as the saying goes "why need *heals* when u dont plan on getting hit" ranking weapons doesnt mean putting the most braindead weapons in the hands of a casual with 10 hrs playtime and instantly beating the game while standing like ur a marika statue💀
man blasphemous blade should be up there somewhere paired with darkmoon greatsword once, actually pretty great, in hindsight tho my stat is horribly spread out when doing that
Yeah, I mixed the two when doing the voice over and I'm only just realising the mistake lol Either way, I still think the moonveil pips it for the best katana - maybe not most fun, but certainly more powerful :)
I don't know man - The holy damage hits that weapon art real hard compared to something like the Envoy's Longhorn that still does 6k+ damage really easily each use. It is a good weapon though :)
I love Eleonora and Maliketh's Black Blade but they're definitely not as good as the Blasphemous Blade and Mohgwyn Sacred Spear. The fact that you can cheese the entire game by just pressing L2 is enough for them to be in the top 5. The only good thing about Eleonora is the weapon art, everything else you can do better with a blood infused Godskin Peeler. Maliketh's Blade is a slow colossal sword with not that good of a moveset in a game where most enemies are fast as fuck. And it also has split holy damage wich is the worst damage type in the game as most bosses (especially in the endgame) are resistant to it. The 10% max hp debuff is nice but only in the begining of a boss fight. Blasphemous Blade has insane AR, HP regen on every kill, the weapon art is a mini nuke even without any buffs, it heals on hit, goes through enemies, knocks down smaller enemies and does really good poise damge, the projectile is also pure fire damage which means it scales off faith. The Mohgwyn spear is just cracked - just press L2 and you win. This weapon art also does 100% fire damage so you can improve it with the fire scorpion charm on top of the shard of alexander, lord of blood's exultation and the white mask. Just try going through Elphael with these two wepons, with bladphemous blade you won't need to heal, while obliterating everithing in sight, and with Mohgwyn you won't even take any damage, just kill shit through walls. As for the Magma blades, they may not be top 10 for me but they can stay, I love them.😅 And the bubbles are cracked af, even though they deal pure holy damage, they can still melt Elden Beast with its 80% holy resistance.
Yeah, I knew those two weapons would be mentioned and boy... are they getting mentioned. I just found that the other weapons dealt more damage, especially in later NG+'s (the footage in the vid is from NG+6/7) and Mohgwyn's spear only staggers enemies with the first use of the ash of war and not the 2 follow ups - that meant you were easy to hit and got interrupted a lot more. As for BB the health regen wasn't really a huge bonus as there are soooo many sites of grace and now a respawn point outside every boss fight so you always have flasks - Yeah it does great damage but again, in the time it takes for me to use the ash of war, I would've done more damage with the magma blades and broken their poise for a crit hit! Also, I know Maliketh's blade is faith based but the final strike of the AoW and then the continuous damage from the destined death effect is too good to not be included (even against holy resistant enemies!) Obs, this list is my personal opinion and I'm not saying Mohg spear and BB are bad, just I prefer to use other weapons :)
I (finally 😜) defeated Commander Niall, went to the Consecrated Snowfield, used Bloodhound's Fang +10, focused on a build based on bleeding, and I wonder if it will work later in the game. I'm developing dex and strength equally and I'm wondering what to focus on more. Malenia, Maliketh and many others still before me.. I was also tempted by Marais Sword and Blasphemous, I'll think about it and see what happens next 😉
My humble opinion. The moonlight greatsword is overrated, the Greatsword is underrated. Also, the Nightrider glaive is very underrated, but I can understand the turnoff, as it has a boring moveset
I don’t know man - I know everyone seems to love those two weapons but they’re not that fun for me. Mogh’s spear requires you to use summons to agro or stun your enemies first before you can even use it’s ash of war and everyone raves about BB because it heals you. There’s a load of weapons that deal more damage/are more versatile to use. But that’s obs just my opinion :)
Where are the Iron (Spiked) Balls? xd, they are also super OP. You can build them either on dex or str. In the dex build its about quick succesion attacks and procking the bleed, but the weapon shines in a STR build! Combined it with Golden vow, Cragblade and the talisman that boosts heavy attack, charged attack and add Mixed Physic tear about charged attack, it will legit do 1/3 of an enemy's HP and also stagger them after 2-3 succesfull charged attacks! I absolutely love this weapon ::) (Spiked Balls are better because they add bleed but they are harder to acquire)
Trust me when I say it was hard deciding the top 10 - ultimately this could’ve been the top 25 weapons to include everything that is super OP - I just simply enjoy these weapons over everything else but those spikey balls are real good as well ;)
You need to hit it with a light attack after igniting - so hit L2/LT (AoW Button) then immediately hit R1/RB and it will do the second phase of the attack :)
I've watched you since Elden ring came out and you have always been my favorite lets play youtuber and I hope you continue to do these amazing well thought out walkthroughs. :)
Honestly my top 4 go to Weapons are Marais Executioner sword Scavenger curved sword Rivers of blood Eleonora poleblade But i made my stat to be combo build so i can use both Marais so basically im focused on dex, strength,arcane,stamina,faith,vigor with these stats plus new game plus atleast ng+1 u can literally obliterate Everything with the farming method using the sacred relic sword plus golden scarab and golden pickled fowl foot,at the opposit site of the map at the mohgwyn place oh sory i made 4 in 1 Combo build so basically i can obliterate everything that's related to faith,bleed,strenth,dex right now im using Dragon spells,ancient dragon lightning spell,the only thing bout my build is u gotta be atleast Level 260 but when i go to dlc i don't need any new build or setup i can just go on with my build,so yeah it's too damn powerful,i got range attack,close attack,1 shot,high damage,poise damage,stance breaker,every weakness to all the bosses that need to be defeated,buff? howl of shabriri,golden,vow, perfume bloodboil aromatic,depends on what ur gonna fight tho so yeah There's literally a lot
For me, It would be 4th at best, because the top 3 is clearly moghwyn's sacred spear, blasphemous Blade and darkmoon greatsword But yeah, the charged R2 on that weapon is ridiculous Talon's could also make It into a top 10, a bleeding machine that also goes really well with jump attacks set up
The beauty is that there are so many weapons that “could/should” make it in the top 10. I just honestly prefer using these weapons over everything else :)
True actually, Moghwyn's is insane, I'd maybe put Starfist at 3 over Blasphemous simply for the ridiculous stance dmg and the insane synergy with RKR or Cragblade.
@tkcjazza could be better to describe it as your top 10 in that case! I definitely agree that all these weapons are really fun to use but stuff like the Envoy's horn has no place in an objective top 10, holy dmg is straight up the worst.
@@erosDBD bro, the envoy longhorn is an anomaly - it still hits like an absolute truck even against Elden beast and radagon because of the sheer amount of bubbles it sprays - also breaks their poise really quick
the Magma blades shouldn’t be top ten purely because there so god damn hard to acquire let along two of them but other then that there top 5 (this is a cope bc i’ve been farming for 2 hours)
I'm too dumb xD I can't play with any weapon... Blasphemy and Sacred Sword works sometimes but i wish they would have integrated a difficulty switch option. I'm casual and would prefer to play it on Easy-Mode instead of dying on NG+ with Lv. 334 by trash mobs :(
Use a colosal sword like the zweihander or great sword, you will hyper armor your R1 through crowds. That or use spells, night maiden mist for example is crazy good on NG+ since it does % damage. You can also use Zamora ice storm or magma shot. Also Black blade and black knife help if you're struggling since they do % damage. Also throwing pots go a long way particularly the volcanic pots for chipping away mobs.
I really got to like dual wielding poisoned katanas recently. Everything that can bleed/get poisoned gets eviscerated really quickly. And it's feels very nice to use.
The bubble AOW can do 6k+ damage if you build for it. It's far stronger as a weapon compared to most. It also deals strike damage which is for more useful in NG+ due to the crazy defenses.
You shouldn't put a situational weapon your number 1. Yes d moon blade is great but it isn't perfect. İt's a weapon good for 1v1 like boss battle and not good at all for crowd control. You should be good at game to make it shine but number 1 spot should be even easy for casual gamer to handle it. Also it's trash at pvp. if i see my opponent using d moon i know it's going to be easy i rush in to cut. Overall moghwyn or blasphemous much better choice for overall.
Blasphemous blade and black blade combo is basically a cheat code for new players, my friend had never played a souls game and finished Elden Ring with that exact combo, this list sucks and it's just your personal opinion but your opinions are definitely WRONG and many other way bigger TH-camr's have stated how OP the 2 weapons I mentioned are including FextraLife.
Don't get me wrong, those weapons are good but these weapons on the list deal a LOT more damage - I too have dedicated a whole video on its own to the BB because it is really cheesy and makes the game easy mode but it doesn't deal as much damage as the other weapons in this list. Everything else is much more fast paced and has better benefits - BB healing is redundant as Elden Ring gives a load of healing items really early and site of graces appear every 10 seconds and boss gates now have respawn points so you always have heals on you and there's literally no need to have items/weapons that heal you. I'm not saying the bigger TH-camrs are wrong, but it's very easy to pick up a weapon like the BB and call it the "best ever" when in reality it's just a L1/LB spam merchant and other weapons deal much higher DPS - By the time you do one taker's flame, dealing around 2.5/3k damage, you can do 4 or 5k damage with one swing of the curveswords. Even the Envoy's longhorn, which is also a spam merchant, can do upwards of 6k+ damage! Again, it's just opinionated and I'm not trying to say I'm 100% right and you're 100% wrong, I just feel these weapons are better and provide a lot more than what the BB does and that's the beauty of Elden Ring, there's like 30+ weapons that could be considered for the Top 10 :)
I don‘t get why Blasphemous Blade isn‘t on here and why Eleonoras is so high up on the list I did a playthrough with both of these weapons and I have to say playing BB ist literally easy mode while with Eleonoras ist was way harder I can‘t say anything for Mohgs spear bc i haven‘t done a playthrough with it and if you are talking pure dps you gotta include powerstanced garg twinblades and if you want to include speed and no hit running you got to include star fists. I would get the list a little bit better if the titel was your favourit weapons of all time
The blasphemous blade doesn't deal as much damage as any of these weapons if you optimise them correctly - I don't know what build you were running with Eleonora's Poleblade, but it is a stance breaking machine that also deals thousands of damage super quickly and is just one of the most clutch weapons with its weapon art. I get that people love the BB because it makes the game easy but the healing is redundant as you have so many heals and sites of grace that you don't run out of flasks unless your avoiding the sites of graces on purpose. For me, all the other weapons deal far more damage especially in the later NG+'s and the BB falls off quite a bit - That's why it's not on the list for me :)
I do have to admit that against Malenia, it doesn't perform the best but as long as you're up close, you can still hit her with the projectile - Otherwise, you can just slap her round the head with the weapon itself and still do a load of damage :)
Power stance the darkmoon greatsword and pair it with Ranni dark moon spell and Adula's moon blade. That or two hand it, the pois damage will stun her pretty quickly, you can also prock a stance break faster R1 and rolling than trying to charge the R2 all the way in melee. Fun fact Malenia is not very smart she will try to water foul through a Zamora ice storm spell. Put two down and it will frost bite her out of it not to mention them damage it does. Final note you can throw a frozen pot at her while she is in the air and it will auto frost bite her. Then just throw a fire pot to reset her frost bite so if she tries water foul again you can easy frost bite her out of it.
I did consider it - the only reason why it’s not there is because it’s not the greatest against mobile enemies. I know that’s a skill issue lol but I’d much rather use these 10 instead of the wing of astel. Still a very powerful weapon though :)
This has to be the worst list ive ever seen just based on #10 alone, its not good in pve and pvp its very reasable. And the best katana will always be the ones with the ability to change ash of war, and with nagakiba length its not close.
If you're struggling with wiffing power stance it and use Adula's moon blade spell, it will cover the range while giving you frost build up. Pretty much screws out most enemies as if they got to close they will got hit with the Dark moon greatsword.
nerfs are the reason im not returning too the game and the fact thats due too pvp sooks which i dont care less about pvp so why nerf pve we paid full price for the game then they nerf things there goes what you paid for ggs
I get it - I never understand why games “balance” the PvE side as it really doesn’t effect anything but there’s still some incredibly OP weapons you can use like these ones if you ever do feel like playing again :)
Tbh I was expecting I fun video that would show the best weapons of all time….. this was kinda just the best atm other wise im sure the list would’ve been way different. Also don’t get how you title the video top ten best while leaving out two of the best weapons just because they are boring. That kinda defeats the purpose of the title. Good video tho just not the right title for it imo
I get what your saying - but these weapons are the best as they deal the most damage and are the most fun and versatile to use. Yes, I left one or two weapons out that deal a lot of damage etc but I ultimately didn’t want a list of 5/6 weapons that are just L2/L1 merchants - the weapons in the list deal have much higher DPS and don’t rely on the enemies getting stuck or being agro’d by a summon to work. This list is genuinely the best weapons that exist in the game (in my opinion of course)
@@tkcjazzafair enough, thanks for the clarification. Otherwise it would be cool to see a list of the top 10 strongest of all time. For example that one weapon every speed runner used before it was nerfed would probably be on the list
@@tkcjazza I mean... It does have the longest range...😏 And it's just cooler, because it feels more rewarding, because harder, because no range magic, because not a magic weapon. (Unless magic affinity, but that's just psychopathic behaviour)
@@AverageLobotomite True, but the Moonveil's Ash of War has a longer range 😉 But no, I get that the Nagakiba is a load of fun, I just prefer using Moonveil coz I'm a scrub!
When you say it doesn’t work, do you just have the wrong set-up? Like are you stats fitting the weapon because this weapon is stupidly OP so you have to try and make it work because you’ll never put it down when you do use it correctly :)
It's just not as good at the weapons on this list sadly... Everything else has a better DPS or provides a much better bonus to fights i.e frost proc. BB healing is redundant due to the amount of heals Elden Ring provides super early and the fact Site of Graces are so close together/boss arenas have respawn points - You almost never run out of heals :)

W take
Just started my 4th play through, as a new character this time and wing of astel for me is melting everything

Duel Bandit curve sword is definitely better than Scavenger, it has way better scaling and does way more physical dmg when bleed doesn’t work, paired with ash of war cragblade
Nagakiba is the best Katana bcs again, better scaling than Moonveil, can trigger bleed easily and when equipped with spinning slash, you can perma stagger humanoid enemies easily, including Malenia, plus it has great reach too
Duel wielding Cross-Naginata should also be mentioned, when equipped with Braggart’s Roar and Endure ash of war, you literally become a unkillable tank that does insane physical and bleed dmg, and you do sh*t load of poise dmg as well, plus long reach again, this is as braindead as Fingerprint shield + Bleed spear poke back in the days but better
I’ve been loving the powerstanced magma blades lately. I just wish it didn’t take 1-2 hours to get lol. Totally worth the grind imo

Damage is not everything though, the healing that you get from blasphemous Blade makes clearing out areas a complete joke ( yes, not everything is bossfights, you know ? ) While also having really solid damage ( as much as the moonveil for example) And moghwyn's sacred spear you just need to break the enemie's stance for getting the damage with that Nuke of an Ash of war
Defo better weapons than magma Blade ( amazing Ash of war, everything else, meh, while moghwyn's sacred spear is still a great weapon thanks for great spears being as strong as they are ) and maliketh's ultragreatsword ( other ultragreatswords like the godslayer one gets more damage, plus holy damage is the worst performance wise )
@@jajasking9652 problem is the damage on both of those weapons fall off in the NG+‘s and healing really isn’t too much of an issue in this game anyway as there’s so many checkpoints/respawn points outside boss arenas so you pretty much always have max flasks.
Mogh’s spear only really works if your enemy is staggered as like Mathew said, you don’t natural stagger the enemies with the ash of war anymore so you need to have a summon take the agro.
The magma blades deal similar damage and works against every enemy and you don’t have to rely on the ash of war - it also does more poise damage and is just a lot more versatile which is the same reason why the other weapons also made it on the list :)
@jajasking9652 the holy damage from malikeths blade us negligible and doesnt really matter when most important bosses are accompanied by an annoying large hp bar which destined death is great against, magma blades when used right with knowledge of boss combos easily out dps blasphemous blade with jump attacks and aow DOT and as the saying goes "why need *heals* when u dont plan on getting hit" ranking weapons doesnt mean putting the most braindead weapons in the hands of a casual with 10 hrs playtime and instantly beating the game while standing like ur a marika statue💀
man blasphemous blade should be up there somewhere paired with darkmoon greatsword once, actually pretty great, in hindsight tho my stat is horribly spread out when doing that
I've been using the Sword of Night and Flame and I'm looking for an alternative. Thank you for this video.
2:12 did you mean Nagakiba here? Since it is the Nagakiba that has insane reach, Uchigatana is the basic but good katana.
Yeah, I mixed the two when doing the voice over and I'm only just realising the mistake lol
Either way, I still think the moonveil pips it for the best katana - maybe not most fun, but certainly more powerful :)
Not having either Blashpemous blade or moghwyns sacred spear on this list is insane
They just ain't it for me man - I'd much rather use these 10 weapons :)
@@tkcjazzainvest in faith for blasphemous blade
invest in arcane for mohg trident
Love the Skyrim ambient music on this video. Only Elden Ring comes close to Skyrim in terms of map and atmosphere.
I think you forgot the sacred Relic sword. And the waves knocked down ability is crucial
I don't know man - The holy damage hits that weapon art real hard compared to something like the Envoy's Longhorn that still does 6k+ damage really easily each use. It is a good weapon though :)
I love Eleonora and Maliketh's Black Blade but they're definitely not as good as the Blasphemous Blade and Mohgwyn Sacred Spear. The fact that you can cheese the entire game by just pressing L2 is enough for them to be in the top 5. The only good thing about Eleonora is the weapon art, everything else you can do better with a blood infused Godskin Peeler. Maliketh's Blade is a slow colossal sword with not that good of a moveset in a game where most enemies are fast as fuck. And it also has split holy damage wich is the worst damage type in the game as most bosses (especially in the endgame) are resistant to it. The 10% max hp debuff is nice but only in the begining of a boss fight.
Blasphemous Blade has insane AR, HP regen on every kill, the weapon art is a mini nuke even without any buffs, it heals on hit, goes through enemies, knocks down smaller enemies and does really good poise damge, the projectile is also pure fire damage which means it scales off faith. The Mohgwyn spear is just cracked - just press L2 and you win. This weapon art also does 100% fire damage so you can improve it with the fire scorpion charm on top of the shard of alexander, lord of blood's exultation and the white mask. Just try going through Elphael with these two wepons, with bladphemous blade you won't need to heal, while obliterating everithing in sight, and with Mohgwyn you won't even take any damage, just kill shit through walls.
As for the Magma blades, they may not be top 10 for me but they can stay, I love them.😅
And the bubbles are cracked af, even though they deal pure holy damage, they can still melt Elden Beast with its 80% holy resistance.
Yeah, I knew those two weapons would be mentioned and boy... are they getting mentioned.
I just found that the other weapons dealt more damage, especially in later NG+'s (the footage in the vid is from NG+6/7) and Mohgwyn's spear only staggers enemies with the first use of the ash of war and not the 2 follow ups - that meant you were easy to hit and got interrupted a lot more.
As for BB the health regen wasn't really a huge bonus as there are soooo many sites of grace and now a respawn point outside every boss fight so you always have flasks - Yeah it does great damage but again, in the time it takes for me to use the ash of war, I would've done more damage with the magma blades and broken their poise for a crit hit!
Also, I know Maliketh's blade is faith based but the final strike of the AoW and then the continuous damage from the destined death effect is too good to not be included (even against holy resistant enemies!)
Obs, this list is my personal opinion and I'm not saying Mohg spear and BB are bad, just I prefer to use other weapons :)
I (finally 😜) defeated Commander Niall, went to the Consecrated Snowfield, used Bloodhound's Fang +10, focused on a build based on bleeding, and I wonder if it will work later in the game.
I'm developing dex and strength equally and I'm wondering what to focus on more.
Malenia, Maliketh and many others still before me..
I was also tempted by Marais Sword and Blasphemous, I'll think about it and see what happens next 😉
Marais Sword is one that was so close to being on the list - It really is a weapon that I would recommend using :)
My humble opinion. The moonlight greatsword is overrated, the Greatsword is underrated. Also, the Nightrider glaive is very underrated, but I can understand the turnoff, as it has a boring moveset
Im sorry but the blasphomous blade is hands down the cheesiest weapon of all time and didnt even make a spot
How did the first weapon carry you through your first playthrough when you get it really late
Let me fix this for you
Remove bolt of gransaxx and Morgotts cursed sword
Than add blasphemous Blade and mogyn sper to the list
I don’t know man - I know everyone seems to love those two weapons but they’re not that fun for me.
Mogh’s spear requires you to use summons to agro or stun your enemies first before you can even use it’s ash of war and everyone raves about BB because it heals you. There’s a load of weapons that deal more damage/are more versatile to use.
But that’s obs just my opinion :)
Where are the Iron (Spiked) Balls? xd, they are also super OP. You can build them either on dex or str. In the dex build its about quick succesion attacks and procking the bleed, but the weapon shines in a STR build! Combined it with Golden vow, Cragblade and the talisman that boosts heavy attack, charged attack and add Mixed Physic tear about charged attack, it will legit do 1/3 of an enemy's HP and also stagger them after 2-3 succesfull charged attacks! I absolutely love this weapon ::) (Spiked Balls are better because they add bleed but they are harder to acquire)
Trust me when I say it was hard deciding the top 10 - ultimately this could’ve been the top 25 weapons to include everything that is super OP - I just simply enjoy these weapons over everything else but those spikey balls are real good as well ;)
NGL was shocked Blasphemous blade wasn't #1. Pretty much a perfect weapon.
I love Eleanor's pole blade it's my go to weapon
That was a sick cut at 1:24.
Death’s Poker isn’t leaving a trail for me. It just ignites the ghostflame and then it’s gone
You need to hit it with a light attack after igniting - so hit L2/LT (AoW Button) then immediately hit R1/RB and it will do the second phase of the attack :)
@@tkcjazza thanks alot for the help bro. Also thanks for getting back so soon. Appreciate it. Have a good one
@@whitewolf7156 no worries man! Glad to help :)
Duel wielding blasphemous, blade and milo greatswords
I've watched you since Elden ring came out and you have always been my favorite lets play youtuber and I hope you continue to do these amazing well thought out walkthroughs. :)
Amazing ranking dude! I tried every one of them and uh Malenia turned into dust
No rob is crazy
I love death's poker but the trail part of the AOW is so bugged on most surfaces. I don't think I could put it in a top 10 best weapons atm.
2:50 Does it hit as hard as a Nagakiba with Unsheathe?
Honestly with the right build scavengers or bandits are to one. No problems reaching ng+7
They used to be a lot better in the past but like you say, they can still wreck enemies in NG+7 :)
Mohgwyn's Great Spear can nuke the whole room, and two poor fools in the adjacent room 😂...it is a good list though sir
Honestly my top 4 go to Weapons are
Marais Executioner sword
Scavenger curved sword
Rivers of blood
Eleonora poleblade
But i made my stat to be combo build so i can use both Marais so basically im focused on dex, strength,arcane,stamina,faith,vigor with these stats plus new game plus atleast ng+1 u can literally obliterate Everything with the farming method using the sacred relic sword plus golden scarab and golden pickled fowl foot,at the opposit site of the map at the mohgwyn place
oh sory i made 4 in 1 Combo build so basically i can obliterate everything that's related to faith,bleed,strenth,dex right now im using Dragon spells,ancient dragon lightning spell,the only thing bout my build is u gotta be atleast Level 260 but when i go to dlc i don't need any new build or setup i can just go on with my build,so yeah it's too damn powerful,i got range attack,close attack,1 shot,high damage,poise damage,stance breaker,every weakness to all the bosses that need to be defeated,buff? howl of shabriri,golden,vow, perfume bloodboil aromatic,depends on what ur gonna fight tho so yeah There's literally a lot
ES Skyrim track in the back 😌👌
Does anyone know what armor set is used in the number 9 spot? I want it!
You said the Uchigatana had insane reach but that's wrong. You probably meant the Nagikiba. That's the long katana.
Yeah I realised after posting I mixed the two up 😅 - the point of the moonveil being the best still stands though :)
WHERE IS THE BLASPHEMOUS BLADE
In the bin
I have only tried 4 weapons from this and i cant wait to try the others.
You’ll have a lot of fun, trust me :)
Definitely agree on #1 spot but having almost all these be somber weapons is crazy. Starfist should easily be 2nd
For me, It would be 4th at best, because the top 3 is clearly moghwyn's sacred spear, blasphemous Blade and darkmoon greatsword
But yeah, the charged R2 on that weapon is ridiculous
Talon's could also make It into a top 10, a bleeding machine that also goes really well with jump attacks set up
The beauty is that there are so many weapons that “could/should” make it in the top 10. I just honestly prefer using these weapons over everything else :)
True actually, Moghwyn's is insane, I'd maybe put Starfist at 3 over Blasphemous simply for the ridiculous stance dmg and the insane synergy with RKR or Cragblade.
@tkcjazza could be better to describe it as your top 10 in that case! I definitely agree that all these weapons are really fun to use but stuff like the Envoy's horn has no place in an objective top 10, holy dmg is straight up the worst.
@@erosDBD bro, the envoy longhorn is an anomaly - it still hits like an absolute truck even against Elden beast and radagon because of the sheer amount of bubbles it sprays - also breaks their poise really quick
sword of night in flame was the best weapon in the game pre patch
the Magma blades shouldn’t be top ten purely because there so god damn hard to acquire let along two of them but other then that there top 5 (this is a cope bc i’ve been farming for 2 hours)
Has the Nagakiba fallen off? Did it get nerfed
Been doing a great club w golden land run.. pretty fun. And switched to dual moonblade
What about the God killer giant sword?
Beat the game with Eleonoras poleblade it is such a good weapon
I'm too dumb xD I can't play with any weapon... Blasphemy and Sacred Sword works sometimes but i wish they would have integrated a difficulty switch option. I'm casual and would prefer to play it on Easy-Mode instead of dying on NG+ with Lv. 334 by trash mobs :(
Use a colosal sword like the zweihander or great sword, you will hyper armor your R1 through crowds. That or use spells, night maiden mist for example is crazy good on NG+ since it does % damage. You can also use Zamora ice storm or magma shot. Also Black blade and black knife help if you're struggling since they do % damage.
Also throwing pots go a long way particularly the volcanic pots for chipping away mobs.
Dragon helbert???
Destined death actually doesn't work on the fire giant
Has that always been the case? Pretty sure it used to if it doesn't anymore??
I really got to like dual wielding poisoned katanas recently. Everything that can bleed/get poisoned gets eviscerated really quickly. And it's feels very nice to use.
Good video man👍👍👍
Thank you man :)
I like the uchigatana and the curved bloodhound sword or what ever it is called
Golden vow does not affect the Moonveil whatsoever it’s a faith based incantation
You, sir, have clearly not actually played this game have you ?
@@jessegordon9050 It does - It grants +15% damage boost to ALL damage types - It''s not strictly a faith based boost :)
@@jessegordon9050it does boost all attacks though, I use it in virtually every build
Anybody notice that skyrim BG music
I love Eleonora blade😩
It’s definitely the most fun weapon to use :)
Amazing content
What is ur Japanese hat name and how can i get it? I mean the wooden one
Please give top 5 dual weapon
I don’t get it the longhorn bubbles best tier list for best weapons of all time in eldon ring
It’s one of the best damaging moves you can use (granted you hit every bubble)
The bubble AOW can do 6k+ damage if you build for it. It's far stronger as a weapon compared to most. It also deals strike damage which is for more useful in NG+ due to the crazy defenses.
You shouldn't put a situational weapon your number 1. Yes d moon blade is great but it isn't perfect. İt's a weapon good for 1v1 like boss battle and not good at all for crowd control. You should be good at game to make it shine but number 1 spot should be even easy for casual gamer to handle it. Also it's trash at pvp. if i see my opponent using d moon i know it's going to be easy i rush in to cut. Overall moghwyn or blasphemous much better choice for overall.
Blasphemous blade and black blade combo is basically a cheat code for new players, my friend had never played a souls game and finished Elden Ring with that exact combo, this list sucks and it's just your personal opinion but your opinions are definitely WRONG and many other way bigger TH-camr's have stated how OP the 2 weapons I mentioned are including FextraLife.
Don't get me wrong, those weapons are good but these weapons on the list deal a LOT more damage - I too have dedicated a whole video on its own to the BB because it is really cheesy and makes the game easy mode but it doesn't deal as much damage as the other weapons in this list.
Everything else is much more fast paced and has better benefits - BB healing is redundant as Elden Ring gives a load of healing items really early and site of graces appear every 10 seconds and boss gates now have respawn points so you always have heals on you and there's literally no need to have items/weapons that heal you.
I'm not saying the bigger TH-camrs are wrong, but it's very easy to pick up a weapon like the BB and call it the "best ever" when in reality it's just a L1/LB spam merchant and other weapons deal much higher DPS - By the time you do one taker's flame, dealing around 2.5/3k damage, you can do 4 or 5k damage with one swing of the curveswords. Even the Envoy's longhorn, which is also a spam merchant, can do upwards of 6k+ damage!
Again, it's just opinionated and I'm not trying to say I'm 100% right and you're 100% wrong, I just feel these weapons are better and provide a lot more than what the BB does and that's the beauty of Elden Ring, there's like 30+ weapons that could be considered for the Top 10 :)
Death poker.
I don‘t get why Blasphemous Blade isn‘t on here and why Eleonoras is so high up on the list I did a playthrough with both of these weapons and I have to say playing BB ist literally easy mode while with Eleonoras ist was way harder I can‘t say anything for Mohgs spear bc i haven‘t done a playthrough with it and if you are talking pure dps you gotta include powerstanced garg twinblades and if you want to include speed and no hit running you got to include star fists. I would get the list a little bit better if the titel was your favourit weapons of all time
The blasphemous blade doesn't deal as much damage as any of these weapons if you optimise them correctly - I don't know what build you were running with Eleonora's Poleblade, but it is a stance breaking machine that also deals thousands of damage super quickly and is just one of the most clutch weapons with its weapon art.
I get that people love the BB because it makes the game easy but the healing is redundant as you have so many heals and sites of grace that you don't run out of flasks unless your avoiding the sites of graces on purpose. For me, all the other weapons deal far more damage especially in the later NG+'s and the BB falls off quite a bit - That's why it's not on the list for me :)
I was struggling to beat malenia with the dark moon great sword but I did it first try with the blasphemous blade...
I do have to admit that against Malenia, it doesn't perform the best but as long as you're up close, you can still hit her with the projectile - Otherwise, you can just slap her round the head with the weapon itself and still do a load of damage :)
She’s weak to fire damage
Power stance the darkmoon greatsword and pair it with Ranni dark moon spell and Adula's moon blade.
That or two hand it, the pois damage will stun her pretty quickly, you can also prock a stance break faster R1 and rolling than trying to charge the R2 all the way in melee.
Fun fact Malenia is not very smart she will try to water foul through a Zamora ice storm spell. Put two down and it will frost bite her out of it not to mention them damage it does.
Final note you can throw a frozen pot at her while she is in the air and it will auto frost bite her. Then just throw a fire pot to reset her frost bite so if she tries water foul again you can easy frost bite her out of it.
No wing of astel? Honesty better int weapon than dark moon and moonveil imo
I did consider it - the only reason why it’s not there is because it’s not the greatest against mobile enemies. I know that’s a skill issue lol but I’d much rather use these 10 instead of the wing of astel. Still a very powerful weapon though :)
so marais executioner blade??
I can’t lie, I completely forgot about that weapon 😅 It should be in the list but I’m still happy with the 10 I chose :)
@@tkcjazza put me on to morgotts sword tho, never tried it till now
How the blasphemous blade isn’t on this list is blasphemous in itself 😂 great list though
This has to be the worst list ive ever seen just based on #10 alone, its not good in pve and pvp its very reasable. And the best katana will always be the ones with the ability to change ash of war, and with nagakiba length its not close.
Issue w darkmoon is reach. I wiff alot
Don’t worry I wiff about 90% of my attacks too 😂😭 - but when you do hit your enemies it’s super powerful and really satisfying! :)
If you're struggling with wiffing power stance it and use Adula's moon blade spell, it will cover the range while giving you frost build up. Pretty much screws out most enemies as if they got to close they will got hit with the Dark moon greatsword.
Is that Skyrim's music?
It is indeed
yes thanks
UCI and reach. I think he meant nagi But whatevs lol
Did u mean nagakiba has an insane reach ? Bc uchikatana doesnt
Yep, I got the mixed up... lol
Where is the Blasphemous Blade?
In the trash where it belongs ;)
@tkcjazza wack. Its your opinion and I agree with several others but IMO BB is top 3 all time
nerfs are the reason im not returning too the game and the fact thats due too pvp sooks which i dont care less about pvp so why nerf pve we paid full price for the game then they nerf things there goes what you paid for ggs
I get it - I never understand why games “balance” the PvE side as it really doesn’t effect anything but there’s still some incredibly OP weapons you can use like these ones if you ever do feel like playing again :)
Tbh I was expecting I fun video that would show the best weapons of all time….. this was kinda just the best atm other wise im sure the list would’ve been way different. Also don’t get how you title the video top ten best while leaving out two of the best weapons just because they are boring. That kinda defeats the purpose of the title. Good video tho just not the right title for it imo
I get what your saying - but these weapons are the best as they deal the most damage and are the most fun and versatile to use.
Yes, I left one or two weapons out that deal a lot of damage etc but I ultimately didn’t want a list of 5/6 weapons that are just L2/L1 merchants - the weapons in the list deal have much higher DPS and don’t rely on the enemies getting stuck or being agro’d by a summon to work.
This list is genuinely the best weapons that exist in the game (in my opinion of course)
@@tkcjazzafair enough, thanks for the clarification. Otherwise it would be cool to see a list of the top 10 strongest of all time. For example that one weapon every speed runner used before it was nerfed would probably be on the list
@@wium1344 No worries, maybe I can look into that for a future video :)

Bro wheres rivers of blood😢
Eleanoras poleblade is so overrated
Blasphemous blade...wtf
It's just not as good at the weapons on this list sadly... Everything else has a better DPS or provides a much better bonus to fights i.e frost proc. BB healing is redundant due to the amount of heals Elden Ring provides super early and the fact Site of Graces are so close together/boss arenas have respawn points - You almost never run out of heals :)
