I actually really like physical infusions on scarlet rot weapons. You don't get two buildups, but you get access to Rot Grease, which turns those weapons into real pressure monsters.
Chase’s battle with Link is basically Soulsborne boss fight from the Boss’ prespective. Link will keep coming back, adapting and getting stronger. He is an integral part to these videos.
That Link fight was intense... from when he tried to become a painting right down to the last slivers of health. He's become a true rival & friend to all Tarnished On another note, Chase's wind is truly deadly. I've lost count of how many hosts have fallen off the ledges in Farum Azula, trying to avoid the wind
@@kazusama4673 He lost has lost total of 2 times in his ER weapon showcases. Once to Link and once to another player. He has always managed to get an immediate revenge in a rematch, funny enough. Go check the Cranial Vessel Candlestand showcase for the Link's win.
@@RendezvousWithRama Can confirm. He decked my ass one weekend when I was dueling on PC. So he's legit no joke at PvP. Chase just eclipses him in skill by comparison.
Instead of hiting the inventory I hit the slot to the right wich happened to have the mimic veil... I completely deserved a jump attack for that mistake x) PS: that was my first fight of the day : I wasn't mentally ready x)
Agreed. He was trashing it even tho it was activated. Unfortunately scarlet rot and poison too, both just not as good as frost shock or bleed. Fire kinda sucks too. They need to do something with the weaker 3 elements, sacred too
@@deanwoods52 I think Rot and Poison are quite fun and add other level of pressure different from frost, bleed. You can I-frame those two but not the poison or rot, once they tick, the opponent is fighting against time too, adding pressure..if you stay on top can be stressful. In this showcase one or two were close to die by it. They could definitely bump up them a little bit, but I think it is a thin line of balance before they get overpowered.
I would really like to see you trying out any piercing weapon with War Cry. Thats my favorite thing in PvP, warcry gives your R2s almost infinite poise, and when uncharged they come out really fast, and that leads to devastating trades with spear talisman equipped. It works best on halberds, great spears, pickaxe and anchor. I believe you haven't done a pickaxe showcase yet?
@@powerplayer75 It will work, but only if war cry R2 for katanas is actually a thrusting attack. I not sure if thats the case since I've never tried that.
Literally just picked this weapon up yesterday and lovin’ it. I’ve gone the poison infused powerstance route with double poison buff (tali and helm) and double jump attack buff (again, tali and raptor cloak). It’s great for invasions when the host/phantom give me a poison buff and try to heal it off, often the jump attack punish one shots them. Delicious.
This is such a fun and unique weapon! please keep making excellent content you are such a treasure in the community dude and continue to keep inspiring me ☺
Yooo, what's up. The consistency of your videos and going into depth is remarkable. You honestly deserve 1,000,000 subscribers, buddy. And you are incredibly laid-back which just amplifies the content.
@@Crap_A.I_bird even if it did it wouldn't change much. Poison of any sort hasn't been a factor since DS2. Also the guy who died did infact die to the wind, poison deaths have unique animations and sound design that involves the unfortunate afflicted coughing their lungs out.
I fought that surrender to me guy earlier, he was on the ledge holding a greatshield while I pelted him with greatarrows. It legitimately lasted like that for minutes, neither one of us crossing the gap, until I ran up and sword-danced him to death.
How about the Highlander Axe? You could try to make use of its Roar-boosting effects and stack it with the Roar and Axe talismans to get very high Warcry/Braggart's Roar R2's!
It’s funny to me how most of the scarlet rot weapons have low buildup and that it doesn’t scale with any stat because the devs thought “oh we need to balance this since it’s a strong status effect.” But they were also like “haha bleed builds go brrrrrr”
Killer videos man! It might be cool if you added the weapon description in the beginning of the video just to add some lore. Keep making awesome videos!
If you have the black whetstone you can put poison mist on it and choose blood affinity, giving it effectively 3 status effect buildups similar to the antspur rapier
Would be very cool to see staff showcases. You could highlight the spells that work best with each so they would each have their own "moveset". Staff of loss to show off night sorceries, prince of death to show off death spells, carian to show off summoned weapons etc. Would be a good way to work in sorceries!
I wish there was a way to get the version of the hammer the has the ball and chain on the other end, maybe with a unique heavy attack that has more range or something
Chase you gotta try the stormhawk axe. Its so insanely overpowered. Its rather underrated as well, i don't see many people use it. It scales mainly off strength but its weapon art is amazing for PvP and PvE. It can hit for around 1300 damage and is super easy to hit.
Repeating thrust on large weapons is good but your opponent has to either try to poise the entire AoW or assume that it’s a full combo, which it isn’t on a GS, don’t know about how it is on a halberd as I’ve yet to use it on one
Heyo! Rotten great hammer! Nice. Rotten crystal spear is just as useless too! I’d love to see that happen. You should also probably ease your way into flails with the Bastards Star’s too. Such a pretty WA. Entertaining as always.
Some videos ago, you had a resolution. To cosplay the armor according to your weapon. You forgot about that? Do it! Just. Do it! Don't let your dreams be dreams!
That guy you invaded "surrender to me" must've changed his strategy or something. When I saw that guy he was a mushroom wearing archer who sat on the stones in the lake and spammed hunters at you. He would turn off taunters tongue as well so you'd have to fight 1v2 in the lake while he ran away and shot at you. Then he would tea bag you. Really wish I could've seen chase in that invasion XD
The return of Link! They seem to have gotten quite a bitt better since first we saw them. Very good fight this time. Starting to forget to put the correct juice in your flask again, huh?:p
i like to infuse them with poison, both of them (posion and scarlet) apply pretty quickly and many enemies tent to heal both of them, and because of that the hammers are good for punishing for that. in a 1v1 is a pretty strong setup.
That last fight was peak comedic timing, dude just drops 12 Moonveil weapon arts (and one misinput normal attack) in succession before casually stepping off a cliff. Literally had to walk at him and he did your job for you lmao.
It suprises me how you j have fun with these videos, Chase. Seriously when it comes to souls youtubers you're easily the most deadly by far... and by far i mean you out class everyone so easily by such a long shot.. Yes prod, lost, oroboros, fighter, distortion and squilla to name a few are all amazing players, but 1v1 you're an absolute monster. None of them are as mental as you. I fucking love your content Chase ❤💙
I'm not going to disagree, as Chase is amazing 1v1's, I just don't want the others to be downplayed on their strengths. Lost is definitely more mental, and is fantastic at being creative with builds and making them work. Prod is the best worst invader I've ever seen and has an amazing mentality. Oroboros is probably hands down the best roll catcher I've seen, no matter the weapon he'll be able to roll catch with it and normally can chain it quite well. Fighter is less a straight duelist imo and more of a craft, fun loving type. Distortion is a pve content creator so I'm not sure why he's on this list, he is still great at it. Never watched Squilla so I can't comment.
The Moldy Man-Masher! I just wish the 'Battle Hammer' (and this smelly version) weren't so damn short. Imagine how much scarier this thing would be if it were as long as a real great hammer! Terrifying!
Seems like they really needed a Rot infusion or for a talisman to allow it to scale it off something maybe. Its too bad something doesn't enhance it more, because a decay build could be fun. Full poison + rot. I guess you could still do that, but with the rot levels being so low you'd have to add consumables or incantations probably.
Love both this and the axe, the axe is kind of a mixed bag for me but these hammers are AWESOME my favorite strength build weapon, really hope we get better looking armor then the rotted stuff from these guys in the dlc though, or just more rot weapons in general tbh
Someone needs to make a voice control weapon swap tool , I couldn’t be bothered to do swaps and talisman changes mid combat I’m focused on the battle itself lol
I actually really like physical infusions on scarlet rot weapons. You don't get two buildups, but you get access to Rot Grease, which turns those weapons into real pressure monsters.
You’re a genius!!!! I can’t believe I never thought of this omg
Put wild strikes and poison affinity for a really deadly weapon (if you don't want to farm for rot grease)

Watching Links progression has been a treat. He is a solid competitor now.
Imagine if link did a montage of fighting chase with his reaction each time, and then dual 473 he finallllly wins
Link has actually beat him multiple times he just doesn’t post it
I hope he will showcase the ringed finger soon
I have been begging ever since that host dropped him it in his invasion stream lol
That's my line. If you scroll back through the comments from like showcase 40 to 115...I have asked for the Ringed Finger every single time.
Ring named finger:
Try finger, Chase

Serves as the finisher. People tend to turtle when they are low.

I hope Link finds out one day how awesome he is
He probably has an inkling about it ;) Judging by the way he fights, my guess is that he beats the crap out of players who aren't Chase.
He has found these videos already and i bet he's still watching. At least i'd be.
does chase ever loses duels?

Links mimic veil reminded me of the time the guy tried to use the "invisibility" sorcery and was crouching around.
in what showcase happend? it was so funny but i cant remember

I've been waiting for this one for a while. I'm rocking these in my main build. Such great poise breaking IMO
Mimic veil is the White Branch in this game. Remember because mimics are such a kool concept as an enemy in any story. Bastard Stars is a kool mace.

Love great hammers movesets in elden. Much improved over ds3.
It’s also one of the only one handed movesets I like a lot too.
I’ve literally never seen this weapon. ER is the game that just keeps on giving
You get it from a Rotten Duelist in the Snowfields. Looking at the map, the Duelist is in the Southern part of the Snowfield in a graveyard.
I've grown to love powerstancing these for all the jumping bleed/frost/rot bonks.
18:37 Our friend Astrologer was killed by a gravity spell.

3:10 @chasethebro does the wind off of these type of attacks proc the rot and frost? Or is it just when hit by the hammer itself
The wind effect does proc status build up. You can even use Best's Roar to proc at range.

Amazing how easy chase makes those duels look, even with a weapon this bad lol
I take the rot buildup on these weapons as just a bonus anti-shield turtle effect
That was the third one that you procced of scarlet rot when you finally noticed it, lol.
Did not have Link popping Mimic Veil mid fight on my bingo card

Long time lurker but this series is great! You have godly content on youtube even watched some of your ds3 stuff
We could keep the rot theme going and try the rot crystal spear, se if rot procs easier with the better moveset.
Link was like
"Yo I'm about to be scarlet rotted !
Lemme use the best anti scarlet rot measure available :
THE MIMIC VEIL."

You were a jumping L1 from Victory. But you have gotten way better.
Seems like they really needed a Rot infusion or for a talisman to allow it to scale it off something maybe. Its too bad something doesn't enhance it more, because a decay build could be fun. Full poison + rot. I guess you could still do that, but with the rot levels being so low you'd have to add consumables or incantations probably.
