Chase I would love to see you do an invasion series only using the objectively worst weapons in elden ring. It would be challenging and rewarding for you and a lot of fun to watch on our end I'm sure.

[@SilenceUnspoken]

Definitely thought this was leading into a torch comment

[@ltcaphide]

I used to watch your channel nightly back two years ago and I have returned. I know that might not mean much, but I sincerely appreciate your good humor and upbeat attitude toward pvp instead of saltbaiting and i appreciate you showing off the highpoints of every weapon

[@S4B3R117]

CHASE! You gotta check out the PvP on PC with the new update for the seamless coop mod, it is everything you could want: You get to use a rune arc, have all your flasks, and HAVE to kill all of the people youve invaded because you are all technically hosts lmao EDIT: And everyone can summon their spirit ashes, which makes for huge wars And if you wanna stick to vanilla, check out the deflect tear you get from killing one of the fire giant things in the dlc

[@ChaseTheBro]

I 100% plan to as soon as they release the update coming to fix the invader spawns!

[@tek512]

I'd love to see you get some work done with the Pata. Those things do have reach and the true combo from running R2 into R2 can be really scary.

[@Impish1]

6:05 a good trick with the twinaxes is that you have ABSURD amount of control over your direction with the left stick, unlock from the target and just follow their input with your movement. You can turn 180 degrees if needed lol

[@Rubbly]

As others have said, the edits at the beginning showing off what you're talking about are great. Love the change in scenery as well, that bridge is pretty cool! I really like the Str/Faith stuff, like you said you get access to a LOT of options, there's even the Crucible weapons which you probably had but were more showcasing the new stuff. Also Golden CRUTCH I'm sure you could look for LESS reasons to just be using those grabs...

[@AlwaysRetr0]

The first invasion was so cute. I imagined those 2 guys with the greatshields being dads playing the game together for some reason.

[@slinku]

Unironically the highlights at the beginning of the video to help exemplify points made really help building and experimenting with the info you chuck out!

[@ates423]

Black steel great hammer true combos with the guard counter into r1 if you are able to hit the initial attack along with the aoe. Only works if the enemy’s poise is low enough, however, the damage is so high that the guard counter r1 combo one shots for 2100hp To get the most out of the weapons AR without losing out on the damage of the guard counter aoe affect. You can run 54 strength and 50 faith, combo’d with the order blade incantation using the godslayer seal, black steel hammer infused with heavy. The AR you get will be 1126, with golden vow 1384. The damage in PvP of the aoe effect of the guard counter is 500dmg, the full guard counter hit and aoe is 1300-1500dmg. Regular r1s hit anywhere from 720 damage, to 960dmg. Jump attacks hit for 1200dmg. This is with just the curved sword talisman and the two handed sword talisman. To finish the build out, deflecting hard tear and holy magic shrouding tear is essential. I also pair the ash of war with endure, that way you can effectively trade against the quicker weapons without any poise, and guard counter against the slower weapons. TL;DR: it’s a super fun melee weapon with a unique play style. Damage is absurdly high, outclassing every other weapon in its class, at the cost of range on the weapon (it’s short.) Also does insane poise damage to bosses, 3 guard counters can poise break radagon potentially. So a solid pve and PvP build/weapon all around.

[@LilEssTeeDee]

Your upload consistency is a gift dude. Always quality always entertaining ✊🏾 Thanks for everything

[@sharifabdelal4149]

For me, the Black Steel Greathammer, Fire Knights Greatsword and Queelign’s Greatsword were the best things to come out of the DLC. Infusible elemental weapons just slap, I wish there were more overall in the game than there are

Just started watching your videos and I appreciate that you are generally cheery and understand that you're supposed to be at a disadvantage as the invader instead of being salty about it. Now if we can only get more hosts who don't mind invasions we can realize world peace.

[@june9244]

I have been watching you for a while now, i just wanna let you know i really like your elden ring pvp videos, they are all very skillful and very relaxing to watch. The fact that you dont just stick with one weapon in every pvp fight make your content 100x interesting than the others! Keep up the good work ♥

[@LowlyTarnished]

Also, the little PvP clips added when talking about the weapons are a cool addition, they made me think about a cool concept that you'd definitely be good at : imagine an AoW showcase focused on the current "meta" ones but instead of being entirely focused on their usage, you talk about their best counters. Let's take Swift Slash for exemple (since it's the current poison we have to endure), i'd be super interested to see how you'd deal with it in different situations (against ganks, 1v1s, using shields or not, etc).

[@lashedvenom]

You pretty much covered every weapon I used on my first DLC playthrough except the hand to hand. This invasion video could hardly be any better.

[@BhopOwnz]

Editing in examples of what the weapons/ashes are good at was a nice touch.

[@chrisofthehoovers4055]

I did some invasions with the Greatsword of Damnation using the Holy Scorpion, Shard of Alexander and Crit Talisman and was able to one shot a player with 60 vig. That weapon is nuts. My stats were 36 str and 50 fth "It's a split between melee and casting".

Is there a chance you'll ever make a build with carian sovereignty? I always love your builds so id love one based around it bc i cant think of anything 😭

[@gianlucaangeli]

i have no pvp experience , but for my understanding this guy is a god.

[@Zercanyan]

Something to note: The death twin axes scale best as a quality weapon, 2nd best as a dex weapon, a strength weapon 3rd , lastly as a faith weapon but all having great scaling which makes it a great tool for most build types. The Dex scaling looks poor except dexterity is a natural lighting scaler, giving it a slight boost upon both str and faith. But overall I actually do love this setup. I can run a proper dex/fth build with a 20/45/45 split and have more than 2 optimal weapons and it runs great with some catalyst builds due to dex effecting casting speed.It's actually great when every point matters than having casting weapons with a high dex requirement w/ low dex scaling. Same reason why I love the spear of the impaler.

[@H0ll0WDallas]

STR/FAI is IMO the hybrid build that got the most out of this DLC. I have a more even split between strength and faith on my character and I'm loving the Anvil Hammer. Terrible for PvP but the AR is just so wildly juiced up.

[@fionaflorissax]

Str/fth was the build i ran in the dlc. As soon as I encountered the fire knight i *had* to farm the armour and sword. Crazy that out of all the new weapons my go-to was a pve drop!

[@Th33x0dus]

Personally, I infuse my Fire Knights great sword with Flame Art. If I recall, the damage is boosted when it’s infused with fire affinities, and then can get temporarily buffed with flame skewer and spear. Damage from what I’ve seen is kinda nutty.
