Club Good. You Use.

Club good, stone club betterer. Stone heavy, stone go SLAM, stone make boss go die, me happy, ooga. 🗿

[@hahanosrryggl223]

Nothing better than bonkin people while making sure to dress up as pretty as possible. Defense be damned, that is the best playstyle just for the pure fun of it

[@the_jersey_side]

@@hahanosrryggl223 Agreed! Light rolling with the stick was some of the best fun I've had in this game. The bonk mp3 is still playing in my mind!

[@magnolia549]

Yes, friend speak true! Club bonk good in ring game. Me no use tree, me use stone! xD, Jokes aside, the vertical R1 swings originated in DS1 and was why the Reinforced Club was a sleeper hit; especially in SL1 runs. But back then you'd get a stumbling animation if you swung and the hit didn't connect with an enemy while using Hammers, Halberds and a few others I can't recall at the moment. FromSoft got rid of the stumble in ER, but I've never used the basic Club through a full run since it often clashes with my fashion but it's a reliable weapon regardless.

[@the_jersey_side]

Glad to see we don't have a stumble animation anymore in ER, at least for the sake of making an effective build. An animation like that would be a death sentence in this game's fast pace!

[@UnknownRayDar]

Lovely video! If you're looking for a an absolutely slept on setup, I'd look into Standard Affinity Clayman's Harpoon with Scholar's armament. On an int build of course. Due to the innate magic damage and infusability of the weapon you end up with an int equivalent to the Fire Knight's weapons, where you can further buff its innate elemental damage. You get GREAT damage with it!

[@the_jersey_side]

@UnknownRayDar Great suggestion! Clayman's Harpoon is a unique feeling weapon and great fun! I did a build on it a bit over a year ago. I cold infused it and put Charge Forth on it. In my left hand, I had a staff for casting Carian Piercer. It was the ultimate knockdown build!

[@ETBrooD]

Regular bosses like Malenia and Radagon are very good practice dummies for the club and other hammers! Charged R2 tracks well and the hitboxes are pretty good. Staggies for days baby x)

[@the_jersey_side]

@@ETBrooD Indeed, Malenia just can't handle the R1 spam of the stick!

[@davidsmoke751]

It's actually a really good PVP weapon at low level

First and only playthrough of Elden Ring Not counting DLC) - 220 hours. Time spent using the Wretch club - 220 hours. (of course I tried other cool weapons too but club is peak so I beat everything with it.)

[@magnolia549]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but Prayerful Strike doesn't do elemental damage despite naturally granting Sacred infusion. Only the weapon itself will do elemental damage if it's Lightning/Sacred infused or has other elemental buffs on it. The stats you're using for this setup is similar (but Keen instead of Heavy) to what I'm considering for my Omniblade for the rest of the DLC run. P.S. I didn't realise there's an upgrade to the Green Turtle Talisman. I don't know where to get it but I'm also not sure if I've explored near wherever it's located. Looks like I'll get to explore more soon.

[@the_jersey_side]

@magnolia549 I've seen people talk about Prayerful Strike before saying it does holy damage and not to use it in bosses like Maliketh. You can see that's wrong because when I use it on him and Elden Beast it does more than tickle them lol. If I ever use it again, I'd love to try it on a longer weapon! Two Headed Turtle Talisman has been in nearly every build since the DLC dropped. I'm so happy it went the way of the chloranthy ring and gave us an upgraded version

@@the_jersey_side Golem's Halberd!

[@the_jersey_side]

@magnolia549 Yesss dude! That would go crazy on a colossal! I've never used that weapon, but I gotta add it to the list

[@magnolia549]

@@the_jersey_side If I may suggest something too, give the Twinblade Talisman a try with the Golem's Halberd or some other Colossal weapon. Colossals have short 3-attack chains so you can get the Talisman's buff off easily.

It's easy to compare this to the stone club and say the stone club is superior. Overall, it is better because it ends up dealing almost 100 more AR (that's with high STR and full upgrade). BUT the Club is lightweight, only 3.5 units. The Stone Club weighs twice as much. That's the underrated and often unconsidered balancing factor. Usually it doesn't matter much, but the Club has a niche. It's one of the lightest STR weapons there are, so it's a good secondary to have equipped alongside a larger weapon.

[@BigDBrian]

Weight is rarely a factor, especially among low values (

[@the_jersey_side]

@lammyjammy Exactly! The club is great for me since I love my light roll builds so much. It's also much easier to get, I only just got the stone club from a random drop recently

[@TheBiomedZed]

Use the far superior Stone Club. After all, stone > wood.

[@the_jersey_side]

@TheBiomedZed I think I will use the stone club eventually; It seems more fitting to a cragblade/stonebard cracked tear/charged heavy/heavy armor focus build, instead of the mobile R1 spam build i used with the club!

[@TheBiomedZed]

@@the_jersey_side not sure why you would think that, stone club has exactly the same moveset as the normal club just more damage and range...

[@the_jersey_side]

@@TheBiomedZed It is more thematically fitting, cragblade looks cooler on it, that is why

Women never choose men as their character if there’s a choice to use a woman, but lots of men choose women as their characters. This only occurs in video games.

[@pchykins6680]

I like ungga-bungga builds but the small club in Elden Ring just lacks the "ummph" of it's versions in the Dark Souls series. The Spiked Club would've been better if ONLY it drops!

[@the_jersey_side]

Sounds like you'd be a fan of the Great Club, I recommend it if you haven't used it already! It has a cool Ash of War and some innate holy damage!

[@flaninty2705]

you kinda sound like caseoh

Crag blade is way better than prayerful strike
