[@Basidus258]

The dlc added a lot of cool weapons with great ashes of war. However, the one that stands out the most is Nanaya's torch as it not only deals fire damage but also madness in a wide area, ideal to deal with groups

[@TheDoomsdayzoner]

And before it got fixed, it used to also deal whatever status build-ups the off-hand weapon had from it's buff .....

Why are people trying so hard for this, maybe he just doesn't feel like using torches because they're so boring to use.

@@dusty111 Not 100% sure but I was basically one shot by the dragon katana wave attack while I was in my dragon form even with defense buffs on. Felt like I was taking extra damage, but it could in fact just be because my defense rating was too low.

I just realized Lore wise Chase really is the Goku of PVP, he refuses to end the fight if there's another challenger in most cases. he will in fact welcome the host to make it harder for him.

Nanaya’s Torch is a new weapon added in Shadow of the Erdtree. It can be found on a corpse is Midra’s Manse, which is presumably Nanaya’s. The weapon can be upgraded using somber smithing stones, and has E scaling in Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Arcane. The weapon also inflicts madness build up.

Please stop nobody gives a shit. Chase took ages to even make the first torch video, tells you maybe he doesn't like it that much. It's boring as hell to play. Doesn't exactly make exciting content using cheap cheese. Plus there's way better madness options, that are far more exciting to use and watch.

[@valentai_777]

Loving the little zoom ins💀 very fitting with the natural comedic timing of invasions

[@spookyboi2248]

you gotta check out the messmer soldier axe!! underrated sleeper hit of the DLC, has the same charged R2 as the warped axe but has a buff on it that increases attack of charged hits, so using it with cragblade + axe talisman + 2 handed talisman + charge attack wondrous physick it does heavy damage. I use it with fire affinity and it’s super easy to get

[@marzbarz121]

You should do a video including the blood-sucking cracked tear, ive been using it and it's a ton of fun, forces you to manage your health super carefully but gives you a tasty attack bonus that stacks with flame grant me strength and lasts way longer

[@seamichoo]

Would love to see some builds based around the transformation items; rock heart, priestess heart, lamenter's mask. Obviously, cult/communion caster for the dragon hearts but the sheer novelty of lamenter face expanding kills🤤. Of course, when using it you have to shout, "partial expansion jutsu!"🥷

[@dragontamer1012]

I recommend trying a tooth-whip + a weapon with poison flower blooms twice on it, it makes for a pretty nasty combo, where you can get someone poisoned with the whip, as well as use the painful strike true combos to both reduce stamina regen of the opponent and ideally get them low and poisoned, allowing you to absolutely nuke them when they run to heal with the poison flower ash of war

[@krustykrabpizza4328]

Im stealing this idea

Death Knight’s Longhaft Axe aow only moves you forward when you are locked on, however if you free aim the ash you can go in any direction with the lightning dash and switch directions mid air for the jumping heavy axe slam. It basically turns into an upgraded Blind Spot. I dont know how effective it is in pvp but in pve its so much fun. You’ll find a way to make it useful.

[@tristanwelke7827]

There's one small thing that i wish this weapon did. As we know the ash of war covers the weapon in an anti-dragon aura and charging the ash shoots the aura. Now here me out. Imagine if the uncharged ash left the weapon buffed with the aura. Like use it raw to buff the weapon for the usual ~45 seconds and charging it shoots the aura off as usual. It would give more of a reason to not charge it as currently there isn't really a reason to not charge it (at least in PvE that is). Would this be a cool idea?

[@treebeard2297]

Great vid per usual. Suggestion, try comboing whip in left and backhand blade in right, with blind spot AoW. It flows so well, and my current dex build. Cheers

This katana looks super similar to the Lao-Shan Lung Longsword from Monster Hunter. As well as the fact Great Katanas and Longswords have a very similar looking attack chain. Plus its increased damage to dragons, and Lao-Shan's Longsword deals dragon elemntal damage whoch most Elder Dragons are weak to.
