[@thethumblessn00b19]

@@sufnskanne469 because it’s fun? fuck being a meta slave, reject ADLS and find some really wacky setups, pretty much every INT spell is just magic missile -> better magic missle-> EVEN BETTER magic missile, etc. a bit trickier to not fall into the meta for INT but it’s still doable like spell blades for instance. Some of the “bad spells” are fine but people have this dumb stigma against using summons, which give you windows to use the cool spells you find throughout the world. But no, if I use summons “i’M a ShItTeR”. Blah blah blah. Although, I will say that any spell that requires you to be in melee range of any enemy should always have hyper armor, at least on the tail end to help you secure it.

[@penrilfake]

Fire Serpent is actually one of the fastest, if not the absolute fastest spell in the game. At least when it comes to projectile spells. It's possibly one of the best incantations. The damage is no pest threads, but against a boss that is weak to fire, with the fire tear, the messmer seal on the off-hand, and the messmer knight gear, it can put out insane amounts of damage. It also benefits from the Godfrey icon if you get a window to fully charge it (you can use windows where you'd do a heavy attack like this). But if you don't charge it, it still does really good damage and has amazing tracking. The only thing it's missing is range, so you have to be at midrange to use it, but it is an absolutely cracked spell. I killed Romina using nothing but this.

[@dvdivine1962]

These were basically designed for a different game, it irritates me to no end why they keep making such long casting skills and spells and then design some of these bosses.

people hate on spirit ashes and say that its an easy mode but without my golem spirit from a dlc that can tank dmg there is no way in hell I could use half of my incantations on fianl boss of the dlc. with spirit ashes at least I can actually use scarlet aeonia on the final boss of the dlc which is so funny thematically for me that I cant stop myself from using it to kill the guy

That's an accurate comparison. It's like the spells were made for dark souls bosses not elden ring

Unbelievably true, I made a character with 70 dex for max cast speed and still couldn’t find a second to cast a single spell. I was able to get way with it for a bit with minor bosses but the remembrance ones? Forget about it. Taylew was the mvp of my run.

[@KogasaTatara514]

Worse versions? I guess maybe they're less FP efficient and do less stance damage, but Bayle's spells pack a huge punch. With the dragon form and two dragon communion seals, Bayle's Tyranny did just slightly less than a full connection of Placidusax's Ruin on Greyoll. It's also easier to land than dragommaw too, it's an aoe around you rather than a single lunging strike.

[@liberleo1384]

Personally I just wish it was like the others and had a faith and arcane scaling. Bayle just requiring arcane is weird and it requiring 40+ is just ludicrous at that point.

[@paintball4life21]

@@KogasaTatara514 The requirements are the main issue lmao. Most people who are using dragon incantations are using faith and don't have 50 arcane. You end up having to larval tear just to use the bayle incantations but they're less FP efficient and do less stance damage like you said so its basically pointless unless you already had an arcane build. If the Bayle incantations had been like 30 something Arcane and 30 something Faith requirements I think it would have been more viable

It’s the same deal with scarlet aeonia.

Which is a shame for how cool it looks, like so many of these. Honestly it feels like we just get worse versions for several of them. Rugalea is basically just Greyoll's Roar without the debuffs or damage, Spira is just Honed Bolt with worse tracking, Butterflies is Aeonia but even slower, and so on. It's just... strange? Especially given this is all endgame stuff.

[@bravosix2960]

Rugalea’s description seems to hint at it being a joke. But a lot of the others are like joke versions too. Also so much skills not having hyper armor. They will hopefully buff them since there is only 28. So buffing them should be easier than all the base game incantations I would think. Just gotta make them stronger versions of a lot of base game spells, instead of worse versions.

[@toomanylies7716]

Thanks a lot Youwy! Some pretty nice stuff to look forward to.

[@Frvnklin]

Thanks for all the work you're putting in and thank you for avoiding spoilers!!

[@lloydfrazier3682]

That crucible bloom spell, just confirms for me, that a lot lot of the content in the dlc. Was just cut content from the main game. With some additions... skumnut used a cut spell/consumable called miquellas light or something like that... and that's what it was... the crucible bloom before it was the crucible bloom

[@thethumblessn00b19]

Don’t forget about euphoria twin blade

[@merouanebelaroussi9706]

Plz do a list of all incantations, so we know where these stand with those of the base game, but wait a couple patches, at least untill the finish big fixing and balancing everything. Oh and thx for the superb work Boss!!

[@aros3554]

I was just waiting for u release it :)

[@N8TheGreat1028]

Bro you are hilarious 😂😂 didn't expect these descriptions haha

[@grand_tourist46]

VERY happy to see both Fire Serpent and Knight's Lightning Spear getting the respect they deserve here. They're both excellent, ESPECIALLY the latter, provided your FP pool is big enough to sustain it. I don't want to say that, for me, KLS trivialized Mother of Fingers for me; the damn thing still hit like a truck and took me a fair few tries. But when it went down, it went down FAST. I didn't even need spirit ashes either.

Not to be a glazer but this channels helps me out a lot when it comes to figuring out what builds or spells are the best appreciate it man

[@LakeSmithTV]

I like how you gave an alternative. Good video

[@themaxamealianomega]

Minor erd tree is sooo good, in a heal over time heavy build using dual wield red star weapons. love it

[@Someone-fv3iv]

I still think it needs a slight healing buff to be worth the two spell slots and 70 faith requirement, but it does pair beautifully with Blessing of the Erdtree 😁

[@XxBattlesnipexX]

Your voice reminds me of the shrimp from smiling friends. Anyway nice video, had lots of good info.

thank you for the informative videos, ive yet to collect a lot of these new dlc incants and ashes

[@DoctorrDude]

I am actually gawking at the damage of Rain of Fire. What the fuck this would struggle to kill rats

[@Can_O_Crayola]

Considering the asshole fire mage who used it in the Shadow Keep burned me alive like twice through a fire-protection talisman + fire resist incant, it really should've been more powerful

[@KebinKaslana10]

They really need to buff most of the sorceries and the incantations, no reason for them to be this bad.

[@HDGaminTutorials]

Just buff there speed not there damage

[@Can_O_Crayola]

@@HDGaminTutorials No they need damage buffs lmao. These incants are doing garbage damage for the work and point in the game you're getting them. Shadow of the Erdtree is an endgame DLC. This is the Ringed City. Why are we getting garbage spells/incants from a DLC this hard?

[@lastsoldierbr]

Another great guide/video!!! Thanks man!!!

[@AlbinoMutant]

Thanks, nice video. Always appreciate your take on Elden ring items and spells.

[@Th3_Raven]

Scarlet Aeonia is one of the few incantations that take up more than 1 slot I can excuse, mainly because of how cinematic it is. Seeing the new 1 slot butterflies have a much longer animation for a similar radius, the same FP, and a slower casting speed hurts to see. Would've liked to see it have lower FP, a faster cast time, and maybe a smaller radius/different targeting style. A cloud of flies type of thing that does minor tick damage and builds up rot slowly (maybe like 25-30 per tick) for 1/3-1/2 the FP cost I think would've been fine.

[@Someone-fv3iv]

I still think that Scarlet Aeonia either A) needs a few more buffs, or B) needs to have its 3 memory slot requirement bumped down to 2 🥲

[@davidkamps9879]

Light of Miquella looked like it did good damage in your gameplay. I have yet to use it but nearly 2k damage on Malenia for something you can use from a distance is crazy. She also has good holy resistance.

[@superprime5351]

Was about to say the same thing. Plus, it looks it really for crowd control.

[@Slaughter_Hill]

That’s two swings from a weapon

[@andrewonagbesan5987]

This thing has ridiculous range. This spell is mainly for mobbing as opposed to boss damage but in the over world it’s practically an airs strike 3000 holy damage at max range for spells is very good especially since it has a big aoe. Look at a group of enemies from max lock on distance and remove them from the game.

[@davidkamps9879]

@@Slaughter_Hill that requires you to get close to the enemy?

[@sniff494]

​@@davidkamps9879 Did you not see her walk out of the casts?

Thank you, your vids are always very informative and entertaining. Much love.

Deathknight weapons, armor, and spells make such a crazy lightning build. Lightning was already one of the best damage types but this puts it even higher.

[@ivani6491]

Thank you for the hard work!

[@spaceman10th31]

cool flashy anime spells are fucking great, but in this game especially the DLC, those charging up animations just dont work. im not sure why they made so many, and in stark contrast to the bosses where they get infinite poise while we don't. Anyways youwy thanks for your hard work brother, i really appreciate your knowledge on these things

[@icetide9411]

As a PvP player, Midra's flame absolutely sucks compared to the other madness spells. I mean it's basically just a worse Unendurable that constantly misses. The only thing is has going for it is that it scares people who haven't seen it before

[@moobo3944]

Giant golden arc is really good at putting on pressure in pvp. The slow travel speed allows you to cast one or two and then run at the player along with them for a really strong advantage. It also is just good to spam in neutral.

[@ConnorJara]

Nice work dude

[@NotShane97]

The only good thing about these spells is giving modders new tools to play with. I can't wait to see the Convergence changes once they update the mod for the DLC.

[@nerozos5106]

Pointless for anyone not on pc

[@CZProductions]

​@@nerozos5106Sucks to suck 😂 mods SLAP

[@joshuacurin1399]

It annoys me that most of the good incantations or even just most incantations are just endgame in far places

[@mckool630]

Ty for no game play spoilers!!!

[@rlira0908]

happy to see that there at least some good incants

[@nickwolfe1313]

There’s something so satisfying about hearing your accent call an incantation doo doo trash

[@rickkcir2151]

This dlc has honestly been pretty mid. No, I’m not bitching about the difficulty. What it adds just is t very exciting. Most of the incantations suck. Most of the sorceries suck. Most of the boss weapons suck. The story isn’t anything spectacular. Navigating the map is ASININE! “Oh you want to get to that 25% of the map? Well, you need to find the hole in the ground, go through this tunnel, then take a left, not a right, then go to another hole in the ground.” The main thing it has going for it is it added a lot of cool armor sets. That’s it. It also added a bunch of literal broken bullshit. So PvP is pretty much unplayable until a wave of nerfs gets released.

[@tvlyt444]

Hey Youwy, very cool videos ! Really appreciate the no spoiler policy 😊.

[@rggfrgtg]

Youwy keep up the good work!

[@FennEXE]

One thing I've done with Electrocharge is that it works extremely well for aggrotanking. If you use Shabriri's Woe and Electrocharge as a phantom, you're guaranteed to keep aggro as long as you're next to the boss. Did this to help a friend with Commander Gaius to great effect.

[@yo_mama_gaming4517]

I really hope that most of the spells and incantations get a buff, did fromsoft forget these are located in an difficult endgame dlc

[@Someone-fv3iv]

Literally!!

[@dar3d3v1l3]

Another little bonus for knights lightning spear, if you get knocked out of the cast mid animation but with the surrounding spears summoned, those spears will stay and still fire off

[@manlikemodie3206]

been waiting for ts LESGO

[@chaysenduguay8025]

When you say getting to bayle is usually late game i guess there are some exceptions, he was my second boss (first being rellana) and i just randomly waltzed into his arena with bad armor, no ancient dragon protection thing from that npc specifically to kill bayle, and a level 3 scadtree blessing. So i threw myself at him so many times and finally killed him only to find a different path and see the flower mace on the floor and a missed quest.

[@orga8211]

Thanks for the video!

[@accomplice7]

Oh man pest threads basically carried me through my first play through but ima give the spear a chance

[@TKZhyon]

Keep up the great work

[@BeyondTrash-xe1vs]

Multilayered discus is a fantastic spell for exploration. It does great against normal enemies with the stagger and range.

[@SubmitToTheBiomass]

It's hard to compete with Discus of Light for exploration honestly. The FP efficiency and range are just incredible. Multilayered seems like it could be useful in some situations, but the majority of the time I'm pretty sure I would rather cast Discus **eight times** than cast Multilayered once.

[@stevennagy6603]

Love these dude, thanks

[@chrisg6654]

Hyper armor after the dive on Messmers orb would be great. Doesn’t even need to be on startup but having no hyper armor for the dive is weird

[@Skywalker-bl7kn]

20:38 I think the main draw for the multilayered ring of light is that it's a ring option for pure faith builds since it has no int requirement.
