Dark Souls 3 PVP - Gank City: STRENGTH edition

[@Rehvion]

Ehi guys, after plume patch many new STR options opened, and the vid is now kinda outdated, gonna make a Vol.2 after dlc hits.

[@derpmacdiggings1265]

Rehvion smough's hammer boi

[@KickOuT74]

Derpmacdiggins Derp ledo's greathammer kinda op too! Im playing with yorm machete, 60 strenght, with the damage boost of the weapon you take almost 800 AR dmg. Love how fast is the weapon, and the vertical attacks rule in 1v1.

[@devin2787]

What trousers are you wearing so i can copy your fashion souls.

[@AlwaysDazed]

7:49 was just ridiculous lmfao, some of these new players man.

[@Rehvion]

Pure STR. Because smashing things is awesome. Honorable mention: Gundyr's Halberd, basically a Pure STR weapon, but 15 dex required...disgusting. You can follow me on twitter here: twitter.com/rehvion and don't forget to enable the notification bell on YT if you want to know when a new video is out...KZbin is becoming really greedy with notifications...

[@larrytheguy8409]

Makes me vomit every time i think of that disgusting 15 dex.

[@antaresize]

What about Glaive?

[@cipherstormwolf14]

Sweet music choice!

[@shubbith3109]

knees weak arms are heavy. give me gank city with yhorms machete.

[@azula0498]

Rehvion nice video bro. i love the black nigh ax. i hope u will do some videos with that weapon V:

[@PlumpYoshi]

I personally think these videos are very entertaining, and deserve more atenttion.

[@FarmerDingus]

I agree

[@PlumpYoshi]

I mean, the editing is really cool and makes the video more funnier to watch.

[@deescott9643]

his channel will get bigger with time

[@larrytheguy8409]

Your taste of music is a big reason as to why i love your videos, splendid. Simply wondrous, i applaud you young gentleman. Though next time i'd recommend some of Mozart's fine work Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Movt 2 must be my favorite.

[@danielzopf1431]

Use the parrying dagger it has an s scaling for strength and is a beast two handed trust me ik all ab overwatch

[@Rehvion]

ò_ò...!?

[@punishedcranky]

Daniel Zopf bait?

[@emperorpalpatine1469]

Daniel Zopf This Paladins dumbass

[@anthonypincelli4007]

Beautiful comment

[@AetherRose]

GIANT. BECOME...GIANT. Man serpent hatchet is pretty good, actually.

[@Rehvion]

Is 60 Str heavy man serpent hatchet better than 40-40 refined? I dunno. But you need 13 dex for that! DON'T TELL ANYONE

[@AetherRose]

I also don't know, but it has the exact same damage and scaling as the standard Battle Axe.

[@MattJDylan]

5:50 chaos blade vs fume. it's ds2 all over again, yeah!

[@greedy_mf]

how can you know that it is chaos blade? Are you a wizzard?

[@MattJDylan]

A comment commentating commentator he was taking damage from his own hits!

[@shapeinexplicavel6508]

well noted

[@grsgames4712]

Matt J. Dylan ohhh noo 1 shot chaos blades noo gotta bites za dusto out here (someone get it lmao)

[@MattJDylan]

GRSgames jojo reference?

[@coolbeans3635]

i expected more point downs. this IS gank city after all.

[@noisemarine561]

i dont know what to put as my username Me to but I appreciate people are gentleman in this so far

[@collectivegenesis6431]

watching this video makes me emotional in ways i never knew before... i always love watching stuff like this but with the classical music over it there's just a level of perfection i never knew existed. this is for sure going down as one of my fave dark souls 3 vids, and fave vids in general

[@FighterPL]

great video as always!

[@marianoramirez66]

Fucking love you, please troll me (?)

[@soft_cotton_candy]

Mariano Ramirez me to !!!! **

[@rearnessfactorof11]

i give it a "No Smough's Hammer" /10

[@cheesychipmunk8382]

B scaling on a giant fucking golden hammer because it heals 2 hp per hit is terrible m8

[@andlex]

I love your vids man, just how non raging you are playing and never beeing toxic is just feeling so good to see. Also i would like to see a black knight greatsword gank city video where you full charge R2 them to death, but try to make them follow you, then hold R2 to stager them and turn into the big hit, you know what i mean.

[@finnmcsorley6803]

Ah, nothing like a good bit of baroque music to help drown out the screams of the invaders you've just slain.

[@loganmunoz5373]

I love how rammsteins buckstabu has become a meme in dark souls now

[@iamamish]

The R2 on the greatclub has more range than I think, even after I adjust for the fact that it has more range than I think. It is ridiculously easy to catch people with that charged R2, or to follow it up with an R1 immediately after.

[@noice__]

7:45 I SWEAR THIS HAPPENS TOO MANY TIMES IN YOUR VIDEOS DO PEOPLE JUST FORGET ABOUT GRAVITY

[@danlorett2184]

They see he survived it and think they will too, forgetting about the cat ring. Or they just think they are going to get a 1337 plunge attack that will kill. People are bad.

[@keizhardy931]

Official Patch Notes: "Reduced damage and scaling of heavy infusions at lower weapon levels." This means that is best to infuse the weapon when it's on +10?

[@nineball8193]

something magical about this video, classic music and dark souls, fits so well

[@Cryster99]

I really enjoy your use of classical music in your videos. Much more enjoyable than something like dubstep, or anything too loud or on a loop

[@pigman72niner]

I always get excited when i see one of your videos in my feed

[@migueeeelet]

why are the female death screams so damn loud? A male character dies and it's "Gah... ugh..." while a female is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH"

[@killermemesatareasonablepr9707]

migueeeelet I hate the young female voice in this game and most people with female characters have that voice

[@tribulationsaint2175]

Maybe uhm feminist reasons?

[@Helmotz.]

This music is so relaxing....

[@DemiDemiGlace]

So entertaining. Love your choice of background music :) I haven't played DS3 for a while. Didn't know there is a technique like the shield skip.

[@baw285]

amazing video man !!! you deserve 1 million subs .. you're better than most youtubers... it's all about having fun

[@dylanwoodward3801]

Here's a new sub for you, I really love how you do this lol. The gameplay, the music, the sound effects. Love it all :)

[@HateNeverLies]

This was amazing! For once yt recommendations were good to me. Subbed for sure and eagerly awaiting more strengthspanking

[@elk_x_mia4763]

Why did most of those invaders have a shield? I barely see gank city invaders using a shield on ps4.(unless its a greatshield) Now i wanna try Fume UGS again :V

[@Rehvion]

In my experience medium shields are the most common(after parry shields but those serves another purpose), usually the ones with greatshields can't manage their stamina or start running away with shield up...But yes, when you meet a guy with a greatshield that know how to turtle...game is hell, especially since you can't really chip at em with the constant threat of more invaders.

[@AdamBarkerThe]

this my shit, this my shit

[@GODOFMAYHEM96]

This video is a thing of beauty, a true work of art! :,D

[@hashihime1703]

hey bruh I suck at pvp mainly due to my rolls so it is a pleasure seeing you tilting these aldrich basterds

[@luukmulders8686]

Yhorm's greatmachete

[@kencabello]

DS and classical music. What else could you ask. Love the music in all your videos

[@tmcosby]

That 3:50 ladder beatdown and crit hit though XD that hit me in the soul bro

[@BetaBrass]

So pleasant to watch video listening to Vivaldi when music is selected by author

[@duhokstar1441]

pure pyro bulid next in gank city also love your video's man keep up :)

[@elijahporter7229]

Hey, wait.... That channel picture is from bloodborne...

[@Tread1]

Gundyr's may only be an honorable mention, but it's still a strength weapon! Please use that in future STR gank city videos, since it's my main and I always appreciate seeing it used properly.

[@LowSpecActionSquad]

I'd like to see a gank city episode using wolnir's holy sword as well as mourne's hammer gotta secure some surprise WOG around corners, or even taking out a group of R1 spammers with the WOG from the hammer! (gotta love hyper armor during the animation)

[@burningfrozenheartache]

These are pretty good to watch while relaxing.

[@mytoasterwentflying]

people falling to their deaths seem to be a reoccurring theme in your videos

[@Rehvion]

Gank city never changes

[@Eparavu]

So many delicious pancakes this time. Breakfast with Rehv is the most important meal of the day.

[@crescentwolf7072]

When I normally make builds, I always make them without ever leveling up my hp, so i can pratice fighting against ganks with low hp, and all of my invasions are done in Anor Londo, which still has the highest invasion rate in Dark Souls 1. Eventually, I will make a build with proper hp, but that will be another time.

[@EddieB-ready]

This is a nice change of pace from the normal "invader gets ganked by host and the whacky white whimps", I like it, however, the song screams dexterity with instruments, so I do believe something more "powerful/violent" in terms of instrumentality would've been better, but still good.

[@MusicWarrior147]

Hell yeah with putting Vivaldi in here.

[@EdoardoSimonetti87]

That fight at the beginning vs the BK Glaive is noice!

[@funkydunky4675]

lets see some parries with the shotel... always so satisfying

[@heybaby6917]

STREEEEEEENGHT IS AWESOOOOOME!!!

[@michaelm5424]

great video but it also shows what I hate about the pvp...rolling and flasking aren't easily punished. I miss the days where constant rolling w/o thought got you back stabbed, or flasking would get interrupted...the good Ole days

[@couriewright2719]

God dammit boys.. I'm still having fun by re-watching those videos in 2k20. Thnx Rehv. :)

[@Rehvion]

Thanks to you ;)

[@ludentisgames9837]

Where are those cute squirrel drawings from? I love them :D

[@CODA96]

Video proves how OP Ultra Greatswords are. Especially with high Strength...

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

This video best shows my experience with aldrich invaders, 99% of them are gankers and/or try hards on PS4. Earned a sub sir, mostly cause of the classical music. It's rare to see any gaming content creators use it

[@TheValiantBob]

How about the greataxe? I know it has horrific range...seriously, From, could you give it a tiny bit more range pleeeease?? But still fun to play the role of the executioner with it.

[@lukaskofler2763]

OMG the suptle fly noice at 8:40 love it

[@TYLER503DURDEN]

quakestone Hammer any good? I keep it in my inventory on my STR build, but never have used it.

[@ShiryuCain]

If I came first for the gameplay, the music definitely made me stay.

[@CrusaderLogan]

Imagine, the dream: 60 faith 66 Str DMB buffed FUGS. It CAN'T BE DONE

[@Calisidus]

Ahh hell yeah. Love your vids so much!

[@Tamashii42]

I **** love you and your GC series.

[@justanaverageferret]

FINALLY someone uses that song by rammstein I think it is. It just asks to be played during a backstab.

[@baw285]

watching these in 2021 .. nostalgia hits hard :)

[@pritheebecareful6895]

I request adding the quakestone hammer and profaned greatsword for flipping people in the air with style. Cathedral knight greatsword also has a cool weapon art. These weps only require 10 dex so you're good to use them.

[@mr.j8356]

Gotta love the choice of music

[@noahclark4622]

Blacksmith Hammer is pretty good for STR warriors, I should know I've used it. Why not give that one a try?

[@overlordlaharl7441]

that dude who jumped off without the silver cat had me dying

[@Girbot119]

Have you done a Morne's Hammer video yet? I think that would be neat to see in a Gank City video.

[@zaneiac4bdn226]

Earth Seeker I think wild be cool to see and for fun you could make the ground shake

[@Beo__98]

Majestic! I would love to see you use the Quakstone hammer (the hammer I thought would be good... but sadly it's not)

[@tigerstoneman5727]

says great club is only good great hammer... immediately suggests pickaxe (which is also a great hammer) for very good leo ring counters.. loved the vid by the way

[@Rehvion]

You're right :) Still think the Great Club is better, especially in 2-3v1 situations.

[@tigerstoneman5727]

You're right about that.. people always misjudge the timing to dodge the r2

[@doubleaja3415]

My build - Refined Lothric UGS +10 RTSR, Lightning clutch ring, hornet ring 60 STR/60 DEX Into RTSR Range with bloodlust Yellow Pine Resin 1200-ish damage on a backstab or gb

[@makaimura7394]

classic music and dunk lader souls Nice going!

[@bubajack7461]

No dragon slayer great axe? Mine does 790 dammage from one handing o lord of i two hand and use oath

[@AlrauneDollmind]

WHY would anyone try and block these weapons with a Crest Shield?? Especially an _invader!?_ Ughhhh. Despite the opponents' sheer stupidity, this was a sick watch! I feel like you're some kind of STR-weapons magician, you make it look magical ♥ If I might make an _obligatory future episode request,_ how about a DEX-themed setup to compliment this one? You could do it the way Akari does; offhand Sharp Sellswords, right-hand Katana-of-your-choice (rapid and fluid stance-dancing confounds players, especially in duels), with a Hollowslayer Greatsword in the pocket whenever you need a Poise-helper and possibly a Carthus Shotel for further moveset variability and for shield-swatting (since shields stonewall Twinblades and Katanas harshly). Naturally, adapt these recommendations however you'd like; it'd be super interesting to watch a STR-player respond to this alternate playstyle.

[@Rehvion]

I want to do a DEX episode in the future but I need a lot more practice, hyper armor and damage can carry you against superior numbers, you can't do the same with DEX weapons, but I think Sellswords + one Katana open up a lot of options, I have just to figure out the whole thing.

[@Oleg_pwr]

Please, tell me what track is playing from 10:21 till the end. I tried to shazam it but no result.

[@kaikalii]

Somehow, the classical music just works so well.

[@Ammi553]

is the Astora's Greatsword +10 a good weapon on PvP? I'm not so good in weapon choosing so sorry if this is a dumb question i just wanted some advices

[@Nickademus77]

I remember there being a good whip build in DS2. Think you can replicate it?

[@cihanbakikok9156]

Best use of Ultra Great Swords... Fucking the damn gangs

[@Murakumoforlife]

Noooooo you had it there... My beautiful quakestone hammer:(

[@aaronreyna2622]

I'm deciding on whether I should use the warpick or not. Is it a viable weapon when dealing with invaders?

[@thatlegion3292]

why do u not use hornet ring? you could kill those guys with one single backstab, parry, etc

[@brendenroberts9793]

Strength builds are my favorite only problem is the lack of options it gets stale pretty quick

[@salcap9288]

fuck tv series when I have Rehvion's Gank City MLG Series!

[@stevenstine6854]

Out here in 2018. Fidna respec to STR so I can respec whamen. Ty Papa Rehv

[@Foxtrot84]

any rings necessary/recommended for this build? also any armor as long as it's

[@azure98]

Nothing like FUG'ing some people up turning them into a bloody puddle on the ground through sheer artistic expression to some classy classical music.

[@doc8140]

azure98 no FUGS given

[@masterhovard]

i know it's mostly a quality weapon but it would be awesome if you use the black knight greatsword and it's wombo combo

[@shapeinexplicavel6508]

not saying STR are bad but if you have the blacknight ultragreatsword with 50 STR and 35 or 30 DEXT you damage is almost 700 and with lotric greatsword your damage are more than 800 if you buff it.Fume Ultra Greatsword are very good for smashing shield and its damage are good but not excelent, I made the test with several ultragreat sword and Fume Ultra Greatsword are inefficient compared to others swords.Well i like your videos and i expect you are going to keep posting , sorry for the bad english and for the long coment I am Br afterall :D

[@Shadow-ue6fq]

A great trick for shiels users: use silver knight and black knight shield on left and switch in between one is weapon art one is parry

[@TheReaper6499]

shifter1242 How is that a trick? Did you mean tip?

[@burningfrozenheartache]

Bart Snibsnom Because their similar so i guess he means it kinda like a bloodborne trick wep thing?

[@TheReaper6499]

They're that similiar? Then I guess he meant tricking people into a parry.

[@perfectlygeneric8822]

So is a riposte/backstab a counter-attack? Or a critical attack? (Both are somewhat confusing to me, since I just kind of ignore it usually.)

[@threeio9951]

great choice of music.

[@breadstacka]

No love for Smough's Great Hammer?

[@Saladowo]

I wanna see smoughs hammer. I never seen anyone with it lol

[@jmkeff]

(drops stone) VERY GOOOD...

[@wlt950]

Can u do more millwood battle axe please?

[@aweirdman7524]

You actually leveled up dex,filthy casul

[@chasespeelman633]

it's always cracked me up how when the character is in the middle of the animation for a parry or back stab how people spam r1 like its going to do something.

[@mesharyfs]

your videos are so entertaining.

[@goldenmajin4073]

it isn't totally a STR weapon, but...the zweihander?
