The no criticals is less of an issue when you realise having a misericord in your pocket isnt that hard when perfume bottles weigh nothing

[@simonwoodall6863]

There was definitely a missed opportunity to put in a holy or blood flame perfume bottle

[@mohmedalherz20]

I can understand blood but holy? would the visuals look like?

[@kirayoshikage9218]

That what i was thinking

[@kirayoshikage9218]

Like elden beast flame​@@mohmedalherz20

[@mohmedalherz20]

@kirayoshikage9218 but then they will have to make the fire bottle more orange ... it actually sounds like a simple change ... unless they do it individually for each attack which they might have to do

[@Lank1ster]

The opposite, i understand holy, but why would there be a blood perfume​@@mohmedalherz20

[@okacz19]

Nice to see some appreciation for those. Was pleasantly surprised how well Lightning one worked from horseback against Gaius, that man has no response for a maniac driving at him full speed with some cologne.

[@pietrocatalano4285]

Tbh, I know that the perfume bottles are by and large never the best thing you could be using, but man, this is one of those weapon types where I don't care at all about the performance. Just the fact that you get to use bottles as a weapon is hilarious, especially in a game as dark and bleak as Elden Ring. It's why I love Roar of Rugalea or the Giant Rat ashes: they both suck (I mean, they can be viable, but let's be serious here) but they're both extremely fun to use.

[@Emil-sh6sq]

Considering the amount of weapons in this game, some are just going to be worse than others, but I feel like most of the time worse ≠ unusable.

[@pietrocatalano4285]

@Emil-sh6sq For sure. One of my favourite aspects of Elden Ring is the fact that if you try hard enough, 99% of its weapons can be made at least decently viable. For a game with literal hundreds of them, most of which I've at least experimented with, I can really only point to a handful of straight up "trash" weapons that I'd never, ever use.

[@mako6894]

Reminds me of how my friend did an rl1 run but used the ringed finger because it was funny. that's the whole reason.

[@RevoltOfAges]

Your friend was probably eating good with all of the fun ridiculous colossal weapons in the DLC like the giant sunflower (my current favorite weapon in the whole game) and the alien finger

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

@@pietrocatalano4285 'point to a handful of straight up "trash" weapons that I'd never, ever use' - do tell..

[@TheDiddlerP]

I love the perfume bottles and im so glad people play with them and not immediately hate em.

[@Swarthy.]

They're kinda in this awkward spot where they're good, but there's better things, but they're still good. There's no reason to hate them, but there's also no reason to call them your favorite

[@ArmoredChocoboLPs]

I used them till FromSoft nerfed the Rolling Sparks. Understandable, but when it comes to Int AoE Nebula was just way better.

[@theFORZA66]

​​@Swarthy. I mean idc for them but to say there is no reason to make them your favorite is just objectively wrong. The reason would be that they are fun with a unique playstyle

[@Mcloviinn99]

@@ArmoredChocoboLPswhy would you use something that op in the first place, might as well install cheats while you’re at it

[@Voicelet]

The main problem of this weapon type is they are found only in the DLC, the point where they feel underwhelming compared to what you're using. Should've add some of them to the base game where there are plenty of perfumers too.

[@dux5525]

Commenting to help with the algorithm

[@inquisitivemind8061]

Same!

[@MerryBlind]

I messed around with the basic fire perfume bottles on my Quality/Dex build and it was fun. Wasn’t the most effective weapon for sure, but I love how the effects look and they feel very unique to use. The running R2 is cool af.

[@realbloodydoves]

Thanks for spreading the good word of the perfume bottles, Youwy! I've done an all remembrances (plus Bayle) run using basically just perfume bottles and they are MUCH better than folks seem to believe they are. The moveset is quite fun and surprisingly powerful, the charged heavy attack is nuts for clearing through areas, and the fact that they're almost all pure elemental damage is a great perk for buffing their damage into the clouds. The only bosses I couldn't really manage with perfumes exclusively were Malenia and Consort Radahn and that was purely a skill issue on my part, not a "perfumes aren't good enough" issue. The only thing I wish we got is a holy damage perfume bottle, just to complete the elemental damage types. Given that perfumers are associated with the Golden Order to a degree, I feel like it would have been thematically fitting.

[@vex9179]

they’re terrible

[@Headtalk]

The perfume bottles are my absolute favorite utility weapons. I can build entirely around single target damage and just toss a bottle in an otherwise unused slot and now I’ve got a great crowd control option for 1 unit of weight and no fp cost

[@mortuarycookiezshane4192]

I know these aren’t the best for min maxing but I freaking love these for unique fun builds. I’ve had a ton of fun with them.

[@tsukagesenpai1899]

Another day of asking to Rank every single weapon buff (Greases, Spells, AOWs, unique AOW) after ranking weapons

[@ahd1092]

honestly i went from not even using this weapons ever to having them all maxed bc theyre just fun to use and can get really surprising dmg since all of them do pure dmg of a certain type

[@HiMyNameIzJake]

I would love to see a video on the different armor pieces and sets that buff different attacks, weapons, & spells. Something really in-depth would be great!

[@adamyohan]

Idk if you expect that but I look forward to these videos.

[@BungardBooce]

Maybe after the weapon ranking videos are complete, you could do a video that covers different bugs you've encountered while doing all this testing and make a video about things that FromSoftware needs to fix. I know that Bandai does pay attention to you cause you did get that DLC early play invite, so it could be cool to do a stream where viewers and you test different bugs we've found!

[@zora508]

I honestly don't care how good they are. fromsoft could always buff them (hopefully). I'm just happy they exist because I always wanted to fight like those annoying perfumers in the shaded castle

[@seekay8079]

If there was a holy based one, I would definitely start using them a lot more, because the movements and animations look so clean. Would be perfect for a Miquella/Marika cosplay

[@WholesomeDungareeWearer]

wall of sparks and rolling sparks should have two inputs: one for throwing the sparks out and one for igniting them, and if you create the lingering cloud like you get when you're staggered out of the animation by an enemy, you should be able to attack into it to ignite it early

[@strawberrygemz2020]

God I want these weapons to get an attack speed buff, they're possibly my favorite new weapon type and they can be good in some fights but they definitely don't feel quite good enough, especially with how slow they can be compared to literally heavy weapons

[@Zercanyan]

I actually like this ranking. The two at the top can varry but it is defintiely 100% correct: I do believe the Chilling perfume bottle is actually less useful than implied here as it actually has to compete with the cold AoWs and the night weapons for magic damage which genuinely hurts it's placement on this list. Dexterity can do a decent amount of magic damage and frostbite build up through the use of skills especially ice spear but even the stomp skills. Which means it has competion. This is different from the 2 at the top which genuinely are decent options for a dex/fth or a pure dex build which often doesn't damage options in weapons to exploit weaknesses, so being a pure damage option is much better. Also thank you for not ranking everything at max level. I while the two at the top I would swap, i do agree that it is not even worth arguing at they are the two ones in which I consider building

[@DamianAbr97]

Nice video mate. Any advicr for a pefume+shield build?

[@paracame8162]

out of all the perfume bottles i can only see some utility in th deadly perfume bottle if you're using a poison build, you can use the perfume to proc poison on yourself to get all your buffs if you're fighting a boss that's immune to poison. the poisoned hand will always proc an enemy in 1-2 skills so it's always better for normal usage

[@shinobiofashina2168]

Wish we got some alternate movesets or a one thats a paired weapon with a dagger or something

[@triel14]

On my lightning incantation character, I’ve got the lightning perfume bottle on me for clearing mobs to save FP and flasks for the bosses.

[@beans7777]

The lightning perfume bottle is a good excuse to skill into castspeed on a faith main caster build.

[@efecaktl5432]

I would love a video all about all the smithscript weapons. I really want to use one but mist of them seem not really good, so i would love to know which is the best one.

[@kevinmalone4341]

Shield is the best of the lot.

[@nintilla9973]

Shield and it's not even close. The ash of war on that thing is just that good

[@StrunDoNhor]

To make up for the lack of multi-hit talismans, the Perfumer set should buff the damage of all perfumes by 3% per piece, and the duration of the buffs & debuffs by 5% per piece. +12% perfume damage, stacking with the talisman's +20% is a no-brainer. Increasing the duration of Ironjar, Bloodboil, and Acid Spraymist from 60s to 72s is a nice bonus but isn't game-breaking, same with increasing the duration of Poison Spraymist from 30s to 36s (which, for persective, gives you an extra 126 + 0.0126% maxHealth damage).

[@NorthernDruid]

A shame to see no mention of the heavy feint or the backstep attacks, which both have really good range. Plus, can't you use backstep attacks out of a reversing quickstep/bloodhound step? or is it only the rolling attack? Anyway, I picked up the cold perfume to have as a side-arm for my Mage build and was pleaseantly surprised by the damage.

[@metalurgent]

The thing that bothers me the most about the bottles is the noise they make. That twinkly sparkle noise they make every time you attck with them drives me insane

[@pressxfordoubt-x]

Hey youwy, what cheat engine do you use for your Ash runs? The Hexington one I usually use doesn’t work anymore.

[@kyleharrison713]

Gotta be honest, didn't really like these but now that I'm aware of the running heavy attacks, I think it might be time to go back and try em out again.

[@silyenn]

What will happen if you put 2 different bottles in each hand and use them like classic power stance weapons, like for example dual scimitars (before DLC)?

[@BaseSerpentMessmer]

I did a non serious fire and ice build with 2 different bottles. The visuals were beautiful but it wasn't very useful.

[@coryculp1359]

I wish they would have made a blood perfume bottle.

[@Jadizi]

WHY does it make a bad frost fore build?

[@DeeDeeDeeeee]

They’re definitely not the best weapon to be using but they’re literally the only option for cool elemental mage cosplays so

[@MrDonCamisi]

lighting is more powerful on enemies with metal armor too or it's bullshit?

[@seangehret7420]

Lightning is more powerful against armored enemies and metal shields.

[@3xplosiv0]

try jumping attack dual twinblade frost/fire build then tell me its bad

They only nerf the aow

[@Chrosa]

I thought in a video I heard him say he did every weapon type but I don't see a crossbow ranking video. Am I just blind?

[@aarongideon9934]

He probably said that he’s going to do every weapon type, he hasnt done shields, great katanas, and crossbows. At the end of the video he said great katanas are next

[@Chrosa]

@aarongideon9934 gotcha. Thank you 😊
