Only A Book of Matches could emotionally invest me into the story of a dex-bleed twinblade build. The theme of holism really gets to what's so great about the swappable ash and infusion system in this game.
This was the first weapon I really used, aside from the starting curved swords I used (which were beastly). The thing that frustrates me is that there is a gem of a game hidden beneath the BHS and magic spamming.
As a mage who enjoys using magic in interesting ways, it hurts my soul every time someone talks about magic spamming. So many people just spam that it gives the rest of us a bad look :(
Man I gotta say I love your stylistic aproach to these videos, in-game footage, text, great music, it's awesome. Also the way you mirrored Weird Fishes in your backstab videos in DS3 was genius.
Unironically, this could be my favorite video of elden ring: how to use a non-meta weapon, and through practice and intelligence make your style shine. A banger as usual, match.
@@abookofmatches Totally deserved, really. I was building a double shamshir bleed build but I think I'll definitely switch to the peeler, because do a better job to not getting swarmed, and the "Morgott's swap" could still fit the shell very well (I've tried it on a quality/dex arc and is so good, I'll advice). Thanks again for your splendid work
@@azaelvonhohenheim9570 I’ve not used pulley crossbow, having fought it it even if it bleeds every volley it’s not going to be that useful against mindful players, it’s incredibly easy to play around, but it does limit how you can move so it’s whether that’s worth the hand-slot to you or not.
I made this to send you at first because I thought you’d like it. then I liked it so put some polish on and published it. I remember you saying about publishing crossbow mage stuff not just sitting on it, that’s kind of where this whole video came from ❤
I 100% see what you were talking about now, Jesus that running attack, I might just have to try out the weapon as a whole once I return to the game again. And of course the vibe of the video was stellar as always book, pleasure to see your stuff every time.
Awesome setup for an awesome creator! I know real life has to take priority, but every time I see your posted a new video it brightens my day. Much love Brother!
i wish i liked how it looked. when i was looking at dex options, godskin is probably the best dex focused twinblade with the others favoring quality/str. that and eleonora's also looking really goofy have really deterred me from trying twinblades, a weapon class that I think I would really like otherwise
I first tried peeler in july, rr2 asks to be used with status, rr1 is better for chase down tho - more forward momentum. I don't think i even tried spinning slash on it, i usually go with barbaric roar with off hand highland axe, good option in invasions, "get off of me" tool with hyper armor and good range. Pure physical peeler is usable too, worse than status but usable, if only one handed peeler was better, these unique R2s is w fun to use.
I have to wonder, because the running R2 looks like a guaranteed roll catch if you're really close to your opponent at the start... is there any safe & reliable way to avoid both hits? Rolling the first part gets you caught by the stab from what I can tell; maybe rolling the first hit to the side helps? Fantastic stuff though!
There might be a perfect time to roll away from it and avoid all damage with two rolls but I’ve not seen anyone do it, the more common thing is people with latency double roll and get either seamless I-frames or just take a single tick of the spin. As to dodging it legitimately you just roll diagonally into it, the poke doesn’t really track. But if you roll into it and they r1 or spinning slash or something then you’re in trouble. Which is cool as imo, it’s what I mean by the threat of the RR2 lifts up a lot of the other buttons. Thanks for watching ✌️
Hey small world. That was a nicely photogenic fight with the orange walls and the orange light then the black and red protagonists, it’s short but I really liked that clip, thanks for watching too
You just press the one coffee really hard and with a real hon hon and then the one coffee lasts the whole time. Long time eyes hope life is treating you well.
Whoa ho, a lot of familiar names in the comment section. I personally use the other TBs, but any TB is good! Very nice video. I would suggest also considering the 1h moveset. Its a better prodding attack, and you also get a running poke, backstab poke, and a r2 running staggered attack. Overall its a weapon that requires very intimate knowledge of its a moveset. Definitely my favourite weapon, and i suppose its fairly balanced.
I think the 2H moveset is much more interesting and holistic but there’s for sure value in the 1H set especially mixed with offhands than can cover or uplift parts of it. Thanks for watching ✌️

This is for sure my favourite comment on the citadel

Thankyou, I’m really glad it comes together for you, it’s really nice to hear
Man this is wonderful, the play and presentation alike
Thank you ✌️

Oof high praise, thanks alot, really glad you enjoyed

Just a question: I bleed shell, would you advise for the use of the pulley crossbow?

@@abookofmatches thanks :3
What a beautiful little journey from being somewhat unfamiliar with a playstyle to an intimately developed version of it.
Yes ❤❤
Love you, Book. Glad to see that you are having some fun with ER invasions again.
Thanks for 1) watching and 2) for being kind and awesome ✌️
That was an absolute joy to watch, glad to see another video from you!
Incredible as always
Thank you Mr. Ificifity ❤️
I dont care what game you play. Im here and I like it. Hope you doing great.

Man I love your vids. I hope you find the motivation to make more :p Thank you either way!
I really appreciate that, I like them too and will do my best✌️ ♥️

✌️ really nice to hear thank you
I love this weapon, been maining it since the beginning!
You've just found gold in form of that running attack.
Thanks man.
I’m 100% not the first person to talk about how good that RR2 is but thanks, really glad you enjoyed

Im glad u gave the game another spin. Also as chasedowns the 1h r1 poke is pretty cool
Yes but also 11:49
So fine n fancy. lovely video thank you
Thank you thank you really happy you enjoyed✌️
Love your vids! ALWAYS!
Hey thanks thieves long time no see, I don’t watch twitch anymore but your streams were such a joy back in the day, kinda miss them ❤
Awesome 😊❤😊❤
wow. I've subbed to you today and here is a new video, lol
Don’t tell anyone else but truth is I was waiting for you
lol

holy shit i was hector lol doing ng+ and trying to use great shields, results... meh
its so weird to see myself as the host and not the invader gg!
Hey small world. That was a nicely photogenic fight with the orange walls and the orange light then the black and red protagonists, it’s short but I really liked that clip, thanks for watching too
Stop it. I will not allow you to make this game appealing to me. Also 10 hours? How many French pressed coffees did you have?
You just press the one coffee really hard and with a real hon hon and then the one coffee lasts the whole time.
Long time eyes hope life is treating you well.
