Top 10 RAREST Weapons In Shadow Of The Erdtree | Elden Ring DLC BEST New Weapons

[@adamstevens3661]

Curseblade cirques don't throw the weapons. And the really special part about these weapons is its guard power and guard boost it has. Wopping 45 conpared to 15 of most other weapons in its class. It's ment for blocking and guard counters. You missed a great opportunity to highlight these unique weapons here. They work so well as a guard counter build. They have a unique spin counter. And block alot of dmg just like the enemies do

[@Paddington2Luvr]

Most of this is just wrong lmao. There's only 3 backhand blades, which vary in guard boost by about 15, there's only one with 15 boost and it has the same exact spin move on the guard counter. And yes they don't throw, but the smithscript cirques do throw, have a guard boost of 30 AND have an actual unique guard counter which retreats and throws the blades (giving you more opportunities to buff your damage unlike the curseblade) This is similar to the smithscript daggers guard counter.

Beast claws were a lucky curse for me... found them basically first thing walkin out the gate in the DLC, then used them, loved them, found another weapon, tried it, went back to beast claws, found another weapon, tried it, went back to beast claws... and that was the whole DLC for me, I started messing with the martial arts while helping a friend with his playthrough and thats fun too but those beast claws were just soo damn fun and stronk in most cases. Did a mostly quality build with some arcane, used greases on the claws when needed. I cosplayed as the divine beast the whole time too, just jumpin around clawin everything to hell!

[@Bigboss-fr2kg]

I did a similar thing with the messmer soldier axe, first dlc weapon i found, basically carried my through every boss fight so far

[@VALxTheEpicGamer]

yes dude... that beast claw is off the hook amazing.. one of my favorites in this game...

[@gregoryjames3287]

@austins.2495 Totally agreed! There are a lot of new weapons I love. The Fire Knight Greatsword looks fantastic and I love the moveset. Bleed martial arts is so damn fun too. I could gush about a lot of the weapons lol.... messmer's spear ❤️

[@AlexHyena1]

Swift Spear. I believe it's just picked up off the ground but it's so easily missed by players not keen on checking every common item they come across

[@nayyarrashid4661]

I upgraded it all the way to 25.

[@illynn]

cool special sound, look and moveset. but it is kinda lacking in the damage tbh

[@soltonali69]

13:18 in my experience the best way to combo with the milady is to go for heavy and then lights afterwards very simple and powerfull ( best thing about this moveset is that you can literally delay your attacks )

[@FinrodFelagundTheFair]

I also prefer the H-L-L Combo myself. Comes out faster than the normal light combo, still builds multi hit talismans, and status effects are in full effect, unlike with some AoW. I love the Milady and am trying to get back into the dlc on my new run so I can powerstance 2 Bloody Milady's. Right now, I'm 2 handing 1Cold Milady and it eats with Wing Stance. Just, love it. Takes a bit to get used to, but when you do she rewards you with amazing and smooth dps. Small tip, it works both ways too. L-L-H, leads with the poke attack from light combo for range then goes into the double heavy slash. Great for mixing with the H-H-L when the opening isn't big enough but you're trying to keep your talismans going.

[@allseeingsage214]

Claws of night absolutely have a unique move set, the strong attacks also throw the daggers, you don't need to use FP to spam the AoW all the time...

[@snorriarnason5814]

Dont forget that the reach is almost 2x longer than any other claws

[@LaguzHagalaz]

just to add some info, if you deplete your fp the ash of war does a double dagger toss in a straight line that does some decent damage still, is this the same throw as the strong attack?

[@drifternomad6962]

I love them! Invaders never see that AoW coming.

[@JSendero]

As someone who enjoys hand to hand combat for the challenge, the most annoying things is flying enemy’s. Or enemy’s that constantly reposition. The stone golem charged projectile attack may not do a lot of damage, but if it helps get the enemy in position to run hands, that’s massive.

[@programmer437]

Some smithscript skills are 100% bugged - mesmer’s spear for example sometimes hits for around 100 damage while other times doing thousands

[@dankmemelord414]

I believe that’s because of damage fall off. The dmg drops off very quickly if you hit them at the very end of the throwing arc.

[@tracewalston5370]

​@@dankmemelord414I could be in the bosses face and throw messmers spear and every single time it does exactly 243 damage even with buffs

[@darklink999]

Also a hidden factor with the sword of light amd darkness , when you raise the sword up it does a small aoe burts to disrupt enemies attacking you so you can get the skill off . You gotta time it right so the ash can hit 2 times , the burts before the beams or smoke comes out then the beams or smoke .

[@PhoneyLoki]

The fact that on the trip to the Euporia you edited out the scorpion waiting to drop on you is SO dirty 😂

[@Waupn6]

I’ve been loving the Golem Fist , I’ve been using it on heavy affinity and get great damage. I use usually use the uncharged heavy attack to stagger in pvp when they think they’re far enough to heal and then I quickly launch a fist. The damage isn’t great but I’ve been doing an overloaded build with quick step and blessed blue dew talisman (infinite quick step) and it’s been doing pretty well for me hahahahaha

[@GoDawgz90]

My favorite combo is Milady, Wolf Crest Shield and solitude set. Block with shield counter with R2 heavy usually stuns enemies but if not does take quite a bit of their health and one or two light attacks will stun.

[@joshuamcnabney7541]

Perhaps the Charged stone fist attack is mainly meant to grab agro from a distance in co-op. I use some of these projectile features for fist weapons to get the attention off the host when I see them getting melted from a distance

[@simplysethpdx4831]

I was going to say this as well. TBH, I thought it was eupHoria too. Its a phenomenon called "typoglycemia". The human brain is capable of inserting missing letters or glossing over spelling errors, sometimes without even realizing. Someone pointed out the fact that there is no "H" in another video, and I was a little surprised. To be fair, I don't think I actually had acquired the weapon yet, so hadn't really been looking at the spelling/item description. But I think FightinCowboy may have also called it the Euphoria? It kind of makes sense. One might even assume there was a misspelling in the game (there was another typo I noticed somewhere, although I can't remember the exact instance). There is so much stuff in the DLC, it might be fair to assume they meant "euphoria". Its a common and familiar word. If you try to google "euporia" it will actually autocorrect for you and search for Euphoria instead. If you force it to actually search for "Euporia", nothing comes up. So, either its a totally made up word, or it was a spelling error on behalf of FS

[@richardjamesIII]

Definitely recommend getting the stone sword from the Fog Rift Catacombs. It's a pain to get back to later on to alter the sword.

[@brianweaver327]

It may be tempting to refer to weapon skills as Ashes of War, but they are distinct. Per the loading screen tooltips: "Skills Armaments have special abilities called skills. Skills are highly varied, and range from powerful attacks to temporary effects. Using skills consumes FP." "Armament Customization Ashes of War are memories of the affinities and skills imbued in armaments wielded long ago. With a Whetstone Knife, you can use ashes of war to customize your armaments at sites of grace." So you can see, the developers made a distinction between the skill itself and the ash that lets you apply a skill to an armament. Also, a minor pet peeve of mine, but a thing cannot be "very" unique. A thing is either unique or it is not. Thank you for your work, please spread the word!

[@DjDolHaus86]

Milady is by far my favorite new weapons; its moveset is just so satisfying to use.

Dual wielding Lizard Greatswords with the Imp Mask makes you look like a psycho when spawning into multiplayer, which I love. The right AoW and weapon buffs make it a fun customizable build, I like the Braggart's Roar on one and something with cold infusion on the other.

I've been very much enjoying your content since I've been watching again with the recent DLC release. I'm a little confused about the title of this series though.. I have a hard time believing that anyone would consider the lizard greatsword a rare weapon. Likewise with the fire knight's greatsword and Milady.. considering their popularity wouldn't you agree that they are kind of the opposite of rare?

The fire knight greatsword, when it was more holy than fire, carried me second half of the game, up to final boss. With holy and blood tears physicks the crucible wings ash did 8k damage. It is less now, but moveset and also mobility from that ash are very good. (you can run away from the enemy you are locked on, you even cast the animation looking away from them, but the thrusting dive will turn you 180 degrees towards them)
