Elden Ring: Storm Blade Is Better Than I Thought

[@Traveler-254]

I feel like more and more, Chase has to just stand there and go "Bruh, what are you doing" to hosts that just...panic. It's hilarious. XD

[@fiveforbiting]

Every pvp game. Life too.

[@skendig214]

You'd be panic rolling all the time too if you only had 800hp at level 150 😂

[@Joe-q3g]

I tried St.trinas torch and it was a lot better than I thought due to sleeping the enemy and enabling you to get a few more hits in.

[@sturmmagnunstein1008]

Wow. Guess ive been sleeping on it.

[@glowindark64]

You can use it to set up the AOW for ruins greatsword. Very fun LOL

[@ArcaneDumpster-Fire]

Chase: Need a ranged aow that hits like a truck and costs low fp? Me: Starts a new character

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

What if i tell you... you can use it with your current build?

[@Fayrinn_09]

@@nicolasvillasecaali7662what if they already beat most of the bosses on their character and want to try the ash on them

[@ericmoberg7679]

​@@Fayrinn_09I don't think you understood his monolgue.

[@Mr.MasterOfTheMonsters]

I used this specific AoW to cheese most of the enemies in a LvL 1, no stats-boost run. This one and Glintblade Phalanx are noob friendly and pretty good.

Except st trina's torch ofc

[@Minikeltik]

Ba dum tsk

[@bradleyfitzik2447]

Stormblade is such a great punisher and rollcatcher. I use it on a dismounter quite a bit and does serious work

[@CrashmanZero9]

It's realy fast on the dissmounter, and pretty much any GS. I use it on the Dissmounter too and I use it in melee range just because it's fast.

[@Bellaaaaa_0]

I use storm blade on the knights greatswords since the AoW starts at your left shoulder and the third hit in a combo ends there so it looks really clean

[@kiltysalter2966]

I love a good bit of animation blending. Might try this.

[@Luanciel]

Wizards mentioned at least 0 times: Since I started counting there were 3715.2 mentionings of Wizards across 319 videos. Bonus: 17:42

Better start counting booty instead. Booty is back in a big way.

[@teno777]

I love storm blade, wind is the perfect quality element. And I really hope quality in general gets some love in the dlc.

[@ChaseTheBro]

I feel the same way. Quality in ds3 was amazing. They did it dirty in elden ring

[@murphieslaw6932]

@@ChaseTheBro Yeah, no idea why Miyazaki just suddenly decided "Let´s gut Quality down to hell for this game" I mean, even on high Lv, like 180+ it is mostly best to stick to a single element. Quality used to be a thing in Dark Souls +sigh+ I wish they would patch it to make it at least worthwhile BEFORE you hit 80 str or dex. Won´t count on it, though -.-

[@seamichoo]

So many great moments in this one; The gravity kill with the guy playing hide and seek around the pillar at 03:21, The guy panic rolling for his life while you just stand there and tell him to calm down (wish you would of done the gesture) at 06:40, and that dragon in Farum Azula that has your number everytime.😂 "Welcome to my world, your I-frames are no good here, sir! Eat lightning glaive!" I think he's trying to prove that he's the dominant one by deleting your collective health bar at least once per invasion. To top it off, he usually kills the host for good measure. Now that I think of it, he may just be salty that you never came back to fight him like you said you would in your level up through PVP series but you took the time to fight the worthless dragon on the tiny platform that gives you nothing but some runes.🤔

[@Rizolv]

Day 9 of asking ChasetheBro to make a Black Flame build video

[@FusionComet]

black flame blade mixups would be cool

[@TimothyGod]

[@aadynfinchum9437]

St. Trina's Torch is better than I thought

[@KMartineauMuisc]

6:50 - Chase, "Calm down." *kills him immediately*

[@axis8396]

I largely wanted it as a ranged option however the ability to significantly change your timings as well as the hyper armor on top of the sword and projectile hitting in poise wars makes it one of the 3 I use pretty consistently: Stormcaller, Storm Blade, and Piercing Fang are my favorites for the Claymore and Barbaric Roar can be useful as well

[@johnnyguion4290]

Love that you've been rocking this hat. Always been my favorite fashion. And the great helm.

[@Foostini]

I love Storm Blade. What I really like about bows is you can quickly and consistently fight at all ranges and Storm Blade brings that mentality to melee. Beast Roar too, stacked with Roar and Highland it's a quick and beefy punish.

[@WalkingWillow]

Storm blade's personally, one of my favourite ashes. It's quick, stylish, adds a great ranged option to melee builds and is currently the only way I can play a character with wind magic lol

[@Aryas1111]

Love Storm Blade on the Stitcher! It's such a great chase down option

[@kalegalbraith4415]

Stormblade free aim into game of thrones sword buff with a radahn’s swords finisher was a moment. Long time fan, excited for dlc stuff, cheers

[@iMemeThere4iAm]

considering a stance break + crit build since damage will scale differently in the dlc apparently.

[@gb9884]

Storm blade makes greatswords swing as fast as a straight sword when using the skill.

[@CapePlaysGames]

Chase’s 8+ year devotion to his BaeMore has got to be the greatest love story in FromSoft history.

[@hystericbunny76]

15:25 noooo!! The tree robbed me of my happiness, I was laughing so hard and then he survived hahaha

[@WhamBam_TV]

Storm Blade also shotguns at close range. That’s why it sometimes hits for 6-700 dmg

[@HijoDelHongo]

Straight to the dome, brother

[@KopruluRuler]

Hey Chase, been having a blast with the gargoyle's twin blade + war cry in a high strenth build, it allows to poise through almost everything and does a ton of damage, mostly because people don't expect the hyper armor on a twin blade and you can stack all sorts on top of it. Why don't you give it a 'spin' heh

[@grimvileblood3602]

Man storm blade really comes in handy when punishing someone who wants to heal when they think they’re at a safe distance

[@FloppeyPyro]

This ash has carried my low level builds into higher level areas, giving me a chance to prepare legitimately on my own. It really helps with the Gargoyal twins, Fire Giant phase 2, and Morgott.

[@witchkid66]

it’s my favorite anti dragon breath tool

[@Game-Breaker97]

Yo. The way you finished that first fight was incredible. I want to fight you so bad. Literally all I do on Elden ring is pvp now. My build is insane it feels perfect for pvp. I really want to test my skills against you man

[@StrunDoNhor]

For both PvP and PvE, simply having a ranged attack on something that's good "by default", like the Claymore, is just 🤌perfect. And in PvE specifically, it can get downright silly on the right build. On a Keen Nagakiba or Flamberge, it can turn into a boss-melting L2 simulator that gives old RoB builds a run for their money. It's not _"MAX DEEPS"_ but it's a lot of fun and is available from the very start of the game.

[@CommentDweller]

Chase brooooo I been watching your videos for years now bro. I'm amazed with your prowess in each video

[@silence433]

I've always loved storm blade. Cheap, ranged, has good poise damage and also builds up status. Applying frostbite or bleed at range is something not a lot of people expect

[@Metaljonus]

Claymore and storm blade is my bae

[@codybunz6311]

I always keep a godskin stitcher with stormblade on it

[@simon_969]

A number of souls game fights can be trivialized with some 500 damage wind like this

[@Mikolajek_R2d2]

I don't know how do you still have new build ideas but I love how you post so many vids keep up the good work man love you

[@roboticmoustache2012]

It might just be me going crazy but it seems like there is more editing today and it’s pretty nice

[@Mischievous_Moth]

You can tell Chase is an OG when he accidentally calls phantoms sunbros. Lol

[@spiraljumper74]

I mean he’s not really an OG because he joined the community for Dks3, fuckin’ icon of the invading community though.

[@jvin248]

Storm blade is a super early acquisition in many of my builds. I put it on a dagger (erdsteel is best) for a medium range side-arm for Faith-style builds. Int-style builds I'll use Misericorde with Pebble. Super handy. Vacuum Slice and Sacred Blade are two other favorites of mine that go on the greatswords.

[@dy9493]

St. Trina’s torch is good for chasedowns and roll catches

[@paulocarvalho6480]

11:49 What killed the host? Chase was doing the riposte stabbing animation to the phantom, so it wasn't him.

[@skred7083]

Have you tried dual greatswords with quickstep? The double poke backstep L1 is really cool and quickstep makes it super accessible.

[@etem2006]

[@TheKnightmanmoz]

That blue attacking after the host died in deep root depths was a jump scare 😂😂😂

[@DanMarston117]

Chase did you know if you dodge while charging a rapier you'll do a feint and unique animation? Might be cool to see in some invasions but I don't know how practical it will be. I just know that if ANYONE can pull of some duelist style invasion gameplay it's you.

[@blublugamingchannel]

Ah so this is the spell the knights at stormveil do, the ones with the exile armour

[@Chwiztid]

The exiles.

[@fredbyoutubing]

My first ever build had swordwind on a claymore! Great for pressure on bosses too.

[@D.boys6t9]

do a hunter video, blue cypher ring and fight against recusants and bloody fingers. May be hard bc they often die quickly but level 50-60 at liurina of lakes has a lot

[@gunnysreviews9411]

You know it's gonna be a bad day when it's Chase's strength Baemore day

[@valentai_777]

You should make a build centered around the Godskin Swaddling Cloth. Combined with regen spells, you’ll barely even need the red flask .

[@emosteezo]

This os my favorite ash for the claymore!!!

[@antoniomendez3870]

At this point I just click on chase videos for the torch comments

[@ilieschamkar6767]

The velvet guy is a genius!

[@spiraljumper74]

Strength might be the best way to run a claymore but on a bullet ash of war like Stormblade keen or lightning infusions perform *much* better. Well, not like an extra 2-300 damage per shot is really necessary for an invader of Chase’s caliber.

[@ziggy937]

Chase I think you might have capitalized the i in the Ring for the title! 😂

[@runegaelyn8356]

Probably my favorite ash of war tbh

[@DuVtrell]

This is the combo I beat the game with for the 1st time.

[@JoeyIsGaming]

[@EnemyAC130Aboveu]

Hey chase, do you think you could do a dlc playthrough with taunter tongue active? That sounds very interesting to see as it’s rare for a solo player to even use it to begin with.

[@kiltysalter2966]

I like to use taunter’s. Had a bonkers Niall fight yesterday with two reds and two blues spawning in with Niall and his summons in pursuit. Felt like old times. Second red managed to get me in the end while I was dodging around Niall. More folks should use it, losing fights is just as fun as winning them sometimes.

[@bayshore3497]

Your little teasings on enemy players are getting so good

[@kiltysalter2966]

Reckon I’m gonna take the Dex/Arc build into the DLC, because I’ve only used regular smithing stones on it and it seems to get good drop rate RNG. Carian retaliation in the off hand, and a bloody Rogiers Rapier in the other. Spear + Dagger talisman, crit regen, and either the healing blessing ring or swaddling cloth, depending on what’s more efficient. Stay healthy, get booty. Catch ya next time!

[@iBazilevs]

Thats why I say it again and again, Hidetaka Miyazaki must forbid use inventory while battle. You have quick slot on weapons and item, use it.

8:36 did it not count that critical? I didn’t see the damage pop up

[@ET-lg4mt]

Can you please showcase placidusax ruin? It's great for finishing combos because it's so difficult to see coming.

[@The_Did_it_to_Em_Society]

You should make a video where you only have enough strength to 2-hand a weapon, like a great hammer. Then, you switch to 1-hand and throw the pitiful swing as a timing mixup, maybe you could find a roll catch

[@Just_come_back_to_reality]

What is honestly your most important attribute that you would invest in minus Vigor, Mind, and Endurance from the build? What is your go-to?

[@sturmmagnunstein1008]

Vigor is always the most important one. Cant do much if you die in 1 hit.

[@NickB02]

I didn't buy storm blade the first time i played through elden ring, when i bought it on my second playthrough i hated myself for not buying it on the first try, it's an amazing tool for melee builds to get some ranged attack, and you can get it as soon as you start the game

[@OnzagaoftheEast]

It be cool if stormblade shot out whatever element is imbued on a weapon.

[@kiltysalter2966]

It used to shoot blackflame and bloodflame before it was patched. T’was more than a little broken.

Does this AoW projectile apply status affect? Also, is the projectile buffed with incantations?
