Secret Samurai 🤫

[@heir8095]

bro, you're whole vibe with the 70's RnB is so unique and works so well. Yet another great vid!

[@IcedEstus]

Thanks so much! Glad you dig the old skool tunes 🍻

[@d0ntst0pme95]

Every Iced Estus vid is the trifecta of discovering cool new builds, cool new strats and cool new tunes. Watching your vids is like a win/win/win situation every time

[@Crit-Multiplier]

welcome to nieche souls contentcreators

[@awesomesauce4758]

Reminds me of dusty dodongo, fighterPL, Pr0d, yung marstro and the other Fromsoft PVP montage youtubers. Pretty cool the trend is still going of basically making fromsoft MVs

[@sup-chlo]

@@awesomesauce4758 This is the modern AMV

[@IcedEstus]

Thank you very much! 🧡

[@Anomallama]

The fact that I can still see creative builds that surprise me in new ways THIS far into the game's life cycle really is a testament to the quality of the game design and build variety. Chef's kiss as always my man, sweet vid 🤌

[@Crit-Multiplier]

it's still a great game. nothing ever was perfect but i rly hope they dont forget how fun pvp enounters can be. ppl like icedestus rly keep my hopes high though

[@IcedEstus]

Thank you! Builds like this can be a challenge, but any challenge is worth keeping the culture of creative characters and goofy interactions going in the ER era. Cheers 🍻

[@wazkangz955]

2:16 That synth solo went hard

[@IcedEstus]

Right? Such a classic jam 🕺🏼

[@vuuhl8605]

This goes unfathomably hard

[@IcedEstus]

Unfathomable is my middle name 😎

[@okaypuck]

Yooo, this is wild ass flex and I love it. Invisible weapon, parry riposte, magic string grease, crit - get absolutely STYLED ON.

[@IcedEstus]

Thanks yo! 🍻

[@TheCohesiveGarage]

I wish Iced and Blaidd had fought, He looked like an expert level player like Iced.

[@IcedEstus]

Blaidd is the homie Addy and he's indeed pro gamer. I urge you to check out his excellent videos! www.youtube.com/@Addy_The_Red_Baddy

I think this is my new favorite channel

[@IcedEstus]

Thank you! Enjoy the backlog, tons more videos just like this one 🧡

[@swagstafights1947]

5:05 Soundtrack so funky even the ancestral follower mommy joined in😂 glad you’re still having fun dude these vids are a blast

[@IcedEstus]

Thanks homie! Them followers got some pipes 🎤

[@huntresswizard569]

2:34 ahh elden ring.. glad i was early to this one its an amazing build idea and fkn hilarious

Truly a Elden Ring moment

These samurai shoes have extra traction 🥾

[@federalagentwithanimepfp8319]

God damn, bro Estus is so Iced down I can't see shit due to the way he SHINES!

[@IcedEstus]

Bling bling ✨

[@johnholland6958]

I’m so glad to see people are starting to utilise fade attacks more, the Soc have us some good ones! Good shit bro

[@IcedEstus]

The feint R2 is lovely on gkat, along with the rest of its moveset. Would prob be wild on a poised out setup 🍻

[@Addy_The_Red_Baddy]

THE SECRET SAMAURI SKANK ! Man those connections tho.. dayum :( so stoked to got another feature on a Blaidd cosplay made it even sweeter.. host invader or blue, its always a blast running into you. lets goo

[@IcedEstus]

Cheers homie! You make an adorable Blaidd, gotta say 🐶

[@AyeThatsHandsomePete]

The music choices, as usual, are on point.

[@IcedEstus]

Makes me so happy that so many Souls folks are into funky, soulful music like this. Much love 🧡

[@MrHydraDream]

Thank you for sharing your secret with us Samurai and that parry into magic grease is pure cinema i love it

[@IcedEstus]

💙

[@valeriob36]

Did you try stamp upward cut too? Sending people flying without a (visible) weapon sounds like it would look funny.

[@IcedEstus]

Love Stamp Up! Didn't run it on this build but def highly recommend it 🆙

[@therookie656]

the back step tech is so cool, so clean. great video

[@IcedEstus]

Thank you 🍻

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

I'm just shook that some folks respond to being parried by mashing attack 🙃 like... Dayum they really do just be playing Skyrim.

[@Crit-Multiplier]

either spamm attack or role. but ye you cant rly blame em. getting parried is always an oh fuc moment

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

@@Crit-Multiplier I guess if they at least rolled then I could know for sure that they comprehended getting parried, instead of literally shutting their eyes and mashing R1. When invading, it becomes somewhat evident that many people you invade aren't really sentient.

[@Crit-Multiplier]

@@monsieurdorgat6864 nah. id say it's more so evident that emotions cloud your logic and in turn, people don't know how to react and start to panic. chaotic and irrational behaviour becomes increasingly likely until they succumb to theyr ways without realizing what actually happened in the first place

[@monsieurdorgat6864]

@ Kinda the same thing. Either way, they start playing like they just handed their controller to their grandma who doesn't know what a video game even is. They stop thinking entirely, and the results are both dumb and hilarious to behold.

[@dragonslayer6000]

Bro badass build!! I like your style of creative work because you actually look like you're having fun with these builds

[@IcedEstus]

Thanks so much! This character in particular was very challenging due to such relatively low AR, but still had a blast playing as him. Glad you dig the vibes 🍻

[@veracc]

By far the best quality of elden ring pvp out there

[@IcedEstus]

Thank you 🧡

[@Shickie]

You make invading look so much more fun than it is

[@Crit-Multiplier]

but it can be that. you know back in the day people suggested many new invaders to play ALOT pf arena 1v1 s and then 2v2s? if you invest time and effort into these games they can give you a lot more but if you just casually hit the invasion button and expect to style on everyone well...

[@IcedEstus]

ER and its players def make invading with friendly-first vibes and funky suboptimal builds an extra challenge, but as Miyazaki intended, the challenge is part of the fun 🍻

[@LampseekerForevermore]

Finally, someone using unseen blade. I've been looking for an excuse to use that spell.

[@IcedEstus]

Try it on Urumi for wild results 😅

[@FreeBrawling]

Leave it to Iced to make unarmed builds viable

[@IcedEstus]

Just wait til I make a vid about my Nioh 2 character 🙌

[@IcedEstus]

That ash is wild, def on my long list of concepts to cook with 👨🏼‍🍳

[@milleniumadam8643]

that secret platform was clutch

[@IcedEstus]

Finally, Miyazaki's intentions worked in my favor 😂

[@dinkleburghh]

i wonder if running a small circle and applying the drawstring grease before the riposte would be faster than applying the drawstring grease while standing, so maybe u can hit the riposte more reliably

[@IcedEstus]

It def can help! Also crouch-running has a really funky freeze-frame style animation. A few rough connection days this week made landing the greased ripostes extra tough, gotta say 😅

[@jaimedeleon1194]

Thanks, Wiz! Hope all is groovy with ya 🕺🏼

[@emrecopur8455]

I'm kind of a beginner at invasions. Doing level 10 invasions at the moment. Some over-leveled cooperaters are giving troubles but it's fun. Some dude dropped 78000 runes yesterday. I dunno what level he was. After playing like 10 hours of pvp I can only imagine this level of skill and knowledge😅

[@IcedEstus]

Welcome to the turbulent world of invading ER! RL10-ish invasions can simultaneously be the easiest and most difficult depending on your build, and relative to the amount of absurdly overleveled phantoms babysitting hosts in that bracket. 78,000 runes is around RL313, more than double the highest RL I've ever played at. You know you've hit the max level RL713 jackpot when you see 353K drop into your wallet. Here's a convenient tool to check other player's levels: jerp.tv/eldenring/runes/ Good luck out there, try to spread some groovy vibes, and don't let the toxic folks you'll find get ya down. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🍻

[@gigasmar1339]

Elden ring noob here. On my first play through and I literally today just solved the mirage rise puzzle to get the two unseen spells. I have a magic staff and the moonveil Katana but can’t use the spell even with the right stats and I feel super dumb. great video tho ❤

[@IcedEstus]

You can only use Unseen Blade on non-somber, non-elemental weapons. For example, a Keen Uchigatana would work, while Moonveil will not. No need to feel dumb, just stay groovy and have a fun first playthrough! 🍻

[@gigasmar1339]

@@IcedEstus That makes so much more sense. The sword I’m trying to use it on is the Uchigatana. Thanks for the help man!

[@IcedEstus]

@@gigasmar1339 Of course! This build would've been much stronger with a magic or cold infused great katana... but alas, no elemental infusions allowed with Unseen Blade. Have fun and stay groovy 🕺🏼

[@garretwilliam3409]

how are you buffing your weapon without going through the menu or your items?? cause i saw you buff your weapon with a string grease, but the items slot was on the estus flask haha

[@IcedEstus]

I've got the roped grease in my triangle pouch, which is why the message botched my crit at 10:11 😅

[@blankdragon1636]

This might be a stupid question, but why does the sword show up again after you hit someone? And why does it glow blue?

[@blankdragon1636]

Never mind I'm stupid, you're putting drawstring grease on.

[@IcedEstus]

Totally not stupid! Thanks for watching and stay groovy 🍻

[@YouSoSpice]

having to hide the weapon only to buff it after a parry must've been such hassle every time yet the style is just 🤏🤏 impetuous

[@IcedEstus]

Wasn't so bad! Although I couldn't help but think how dope it would be to have a version of Unseen Blade that casts as fast as a roped grease 😩

[@VincentPaulS]

What is more demoralizing, an invader with super bad manners using the most broken build, or Iced Estus doing magic tricks while he parries and ripostes you?

[@IcedEstus]

Before every parry and riposte, I at least tried to boost morale with friendly boogie vibes! 😅

[@Xerox0073]

Cool vid but you're always raiding like lvl 40 players with you having a few hundred hours in pvp. I just don't think letting pitbull in the kindergarden is fair. That can be ok for gimmick weak builds but all the last ones were basically just a fashion.

[@Crit-Multiplier]

a players lvl, as you have just stated yourself, is no indicator for a players skill lvl. thus it does not matter if he invades at 40 or 200. heck the worst ppl have always been max lvl anyways lmao you ever tried max lvl invasions?

[@portalmanHUN]

I'm sure the full Radahn set wearing Kevins with late game boss weapons are all first time level 40 players and they're definitely not on NG+5 at this point.

[@goeijmejisju1510]

High level invasions are such a slog

[@savingtheworld3155]

I can tell you've never actually invaded before lol.

[@Kekkeri59]

You do so many crits, why aren't you using the crit talisman 🤔😉

[@IcedEstus]

Used it plenty on other builds, but this one really needed the stam/vig/robustness tali combo to stay alive 🍻
