Cold Beast Claws alone are just kookoo bananas. I easily laid Malenia's foolish ambitions to rest with them.

[@motivepigeon]

@TheLordofChampions I wanna try this but switch the sides so I can do heavy infuse with bloodflame buff. I have everything but the second set of claws lol. I'm on ps5 so I can't just drop it in either.

[@TheLordofChampions]

@@motivepigeon The Savage Claws ash of war absolutely wrecks certain enemies, especially with status effects. I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was to stun lock Malenia to death.

[@motivepigeon]

@TheLordofChampions I love to run those for pve, but for pvp, I love the raging beast. It's got a dash with i-frames and directional control. The heavy follow is risky, but you can do an r1 instead or anything else really. I like to use the follow up once or twice a battle and then switch it up with a spell. It's been a great counter to the swift slash as well.

[@m.a.dmatt6689]

Even to this day not a lot of ppl know or care much about the fire/ice proc combo. So I'm glad to see it being utilized is such a way

[@ArekkzGaming]

It is really cool! Makes you feel like Todoroki from My Hero lol

[@dangeroushandles]

I think overall. It's better to just keep the frost on and it does more damage over time then re procing

[@yesimchar]

​@@dangeroushandlesyou are completely correct. the 20% DMG negation debuff frost applies allows more overall damage. especially when you factor in the the more you proc a status on an enemy the more they become more resistant to it.

[@ArekkzGaming]

If you have something that will do more than the 10% of max HP damage that frostbite does per proc then maybe, you can easily achieve 4-5 frostbite procs using this method. Additionally, you can add bleed procs, which also deal 10% of max HP damage. As mentioned in the video, frostbite acts as a secondary bleed-style proc, effectively enhancing your damage output massively

[@dangeroushandles]

@ArekkzGaming it would also depend on how much ar the weapon does. If it's just for proc your right bit if has decent damage it could swing the other way

[@motivepigeon]

Poisen beast claws with blooms twice ashe of war fits really well too. In pvp people usually back up from the claws to where the ashe of war becomes more likley to hit, and the beast claws actually have a feint with a pretty big backstep and forward r1 right after. Add all 3 and you can really suprise people jumping all over the battlefield.

[@TheLordofChampions]

@@motivepigeon Oh, I mean need to try that poison combo. Sounds as good as the cold infusion.

[@motivepigeon]

@TheLordofChampions I also tried it with the great katana as well with surprisingly good results

[@ichich44]

ZHEY HAVE A FEINT ATTACK?

[@motivepigeon]

@@ichich44 ikr? The new great katana, and even the smithscript throwing daggers all got fient attacks. I actually have a mini-showcase on my channel showing some invades with the claws Edit: new claws that have a throw (cant remember name) also has a feint

[@francisp7980]

Use Frost one in off hand, use heavy with bloodflame blade on main = more bleed, same frostbite

[@DarkHeroCC]

I've been using a similar setup with 2 Milady's on NG+ (one Fire, one Cold) but I'll definitely have to try this now!

[@zenopssmdk]

You can do this with a select few weapons in base game too like the Scavenger's Curved Sword, then stack it with the mask that boosts damage after a bleed proc, then the a few jump attack items like the chest piece and talismans. Boost that further with the DLC armour that'll give you like 4% more damage for gauntlets and boots etc etc It's a well known build. Just look up "OP curved blade build" and you'll find what you're looking for. These claws are just a fun alternative version but not as powerful.

[@Fixti0n]

Resetting Frostbite is a noob trap. Getting 20% more damage for the duration is way better then the subsequent procs of frostbite, especially since bosses gain more resistances after each proc. I would rather use Lightning or Magic instead of fire, or just double down on bleed. I would also switch those points in faith into Int for more magic damage, or Arcane for more bleed, then outsource Golden Vow to the Ash. But still, i personally like Faith since Golden Vow is not the only buff you get, you can also use Howl of Shabriri for more damage, and get some healing with Blessings Boon and Heal from afar, and Flame cleanse me is nice for just going around.

[@CM-iz5ny]

This, I was concerned when I clicked the video, then flabbergasted when I saw his stat spread. Like, wtf is that.

[@RedShootingStar]

For the left hand claw you can use some ash of war as well. you can use some AoE to get a lot of foes at once. Or you can use a buff ash of war, like Braggart's Roar, even if the heavy attack changes, you are not using it anyway.

[@mr.goochthethird1222]

I've been running this, but using malainias rune make it a game changer with endure

[@TheJclone]

how about try Fire Knight's Shortsword Farm 2 1 frost and one Bleed.......Then you have Magic-Fire-Ice-and Bleed.... you are welcome.

[@ArekkzGaming]

Good point, that was my second choice. However, I went with the Beastclaws because they allow you to fully spec into Strength rather than having to invest in INT for the cold effect. The passive fire effect is cool on the shortswords though, and I love the daggers' L1 power stance attack.

[@TheJclone]

@@ArekkzGaming True, But im lvl 376 NG+5 with low faith and Int and they still shred. But everything just hits harder on NG+5 and it is a lot hard to pull off.

[@ArekkzGaming]

Yeah, all the fireknight stuff is awesome but if you spec into faith they slap even more!

[@TheJclone]

@@ArekkzGaming Yes, Just hard to spec everything because other bosses are very hard for this one build. So, I also need to be a WALL spec too.

[@yoitse-lv6jg]

@@TheJclone nice jclone just tried your build and first tried rellana! thanks!

[@ahampel22]

This would be awesome if I hadn't just beaten the game with a Bloodhound claws and Raptor Talon build :)

[@R3CORD303]

Ng+ them

[@vagkalosynakis]

Add Malenia's rune and Thorny + new lifesteal cracked tears and you will probably be able to outheal the dmg you take so you pretty much will be able to facetank a lot of bosses.

[@jeremyreinhold3620]

Why not do offhand cold. Mainhand heavy. Use blood flame incantation. Keep the blood build up going and get a bit extra damage out of the claws from strength modifier.

[@ramon5998]

i was under the assumption that fire damage ruined the cold build up causing it to never proc but now that i know that's not true i kinda want to give cold status more love

[@volktol4432]

So how does it work cause I thought that the fire messed up the cold too

[@onehitman4084]

I'm going to love this build since I'm a fire/cold dagger maniac.

[@SueTheGuiltyDeer]

Kiba Akamaru type build with that mimic tear lol

[@user-ds2tq7vk9t]

Been dual weilding magma blade from the manor with the new talisman, and it’s hard to get the weapon especially two of them but they are insane and are easily the best looking weapon in the game

[@Greywander87]

I was aware of the frostbite/fire damage interaction, I'm just not convinced that the initial frostbite proc damage is better than the frostbite debuff. And that being the case, I don't see a reason to go so far out of my way to set this up, especially when it requires two of an item you can only get once per playthrough.

[@MrGamernerd45]

Should add meat dumplings, mimic uses one indefinitely. Heals 50% of their health and they won’t get poisoned

[@smmk88]

Had this as an option on my assassin golden order build, but used the normal claw weapons. Slap endure on it, godskin swaddling cloth, defense talisman and physic, plus rotten wing and successive attack talisman and you can outtrade Melania, and slap her greatrune on it and you can melt any humanoid dlc boss. Outraged Rellana first try with that.

[@smmk88]

Oh, and didn't use mimic for either boss. It's pretty fun.

[@smmk88]

Also started with health regen buff to help balance out Malenia's healing.

[@CopyCatClint]

im just gunna yoink this thanks

[@AmortizeThis]

you'd be way better off making the second claw a straight bleed claw (assuming the first one is frost with reduced bleed). It's better to leave the frostbite debuff on the target than trying to reset it (for like 95% of mobs), and you'd get far more bleed procs on your frostbitten target. But really, you'd be even better off going the venomous fang route, blood and rot exultations, both successive hit medallions, and the white mask, with the cragblade bleed affinity. The procs. buffs, and damage are insane.

[@scherzo2950]

Just in time for the 3rd playthrough on my new character for the DLC. This looks fun so I tried this build. I used the same talismans but because i have 50 END, I replaced the two-headed turtle talisman with the Godskin swaddle cloth. Im using Melania's Great rune and for the Physick, Im using Thorny Cracked Tear and Crimson-sapping Cracked Tear. During boss fights, Im using the Ironjar Aromatic along with using Endure every 3 secs. This allows me a nearly uninterruptable scratching of the boss while regenerating HP each hit. Im having so much fun with this build.

[@DaBombDiggidy88]

You can change the ash on the scarlet rot hammer and keep the rot as well. Used that in the base game.

[@Andreef1111]

for statuses - aren't antspur rapiers better ?

[@HeyLookItsThatGuy13]

That's my build, I powerstance them inflicting poison, rot, and bleed all at the same time without having to buff or coat my armaments. Definitely a fun build that can build up damage really quickly! I killed NG+ Mogh before he was able to scream Nihil a second time haha

[@Katsuhi50]

just throw on the large jar helm and yeet big pots as part of the unga bunga as well, comes in handy if you're trying to pvp and need a ranged option.

[@christopherealy8025]

I just wish the bear arms had a faster ash of war like the regular beast claws. The bear arms are pretty cool aesthetically, but the beast claws are WAY faster with the ash of war.

[@fairtoki1685]

There is a very good reliable way to reset frost called "Fire pot"

[@alanpangborn1603]

I really shouldn't drink b4 watching your videos. I'm like say what? Say that again. lol. Every weapon is situational but beast claw is one of my favorites against fast npc's

[@icarusnarukami5781]

9:43 you could potentially use Malenia’s Great Rune for health back on attack, if that makes sense

[@statichammer9984]

The frostbite proc damage is generally going to be less impactful than the debuff so this is actually not optimal. Youre better off with just frost and bleed.

[@mellindrums]

You could do this with only one Beast Claw by making it cold and using the Flame of the Redmanes after every frostbite proc.

[@triplezeroxz5875]

[@AkantorCZ]

Interesting build, but isn't simply better to keep the frostbite on enemies for extra damage without sacrificing power-stancing heavy moveset? Or to use heavy affinity with the Bloodflame Blade for more blood loss procs?

[@ArekkzGaming]

Tried both, found having this setup did more damage as the procs happen rapidly with the combination of frostbite and bleed. The beastclaws have decent frostbite at base with 105 so that factors into it. Give it a go and you will see what I mean.

[@AkantorCZ]

@@ArekkzGaming I see, 105 frostbite build up does sound like a lot for a fast hitting weapon such as beast claw despite the fact that only some hits counts towards that. However small motion values of beast claw attacks applies to the status build up as well (does not apply to the Bloodflame Blade). On top of that, there is a dimishing return for status effect procs and some enemies are resistent or immune altogether so it might not be as reliable in some scenarios. It's a cool idea and I might give it a try in second playthrough, but there are definitelly some drawbacks to consider.

[@ArekkzGaming]

Those are obvious draw backs but they don't hinder this build as everything get destroyed before you even have to worry about that. The dimishing returns sound worse than it is on paper and if it was that bad then bleed builds wouldn't be as popular as they are as. You could always use the heavy and bloodflame combo on your off hand for this build as well so you have the best of both worlds.

dryleaf works but does significantly less damage. dryleaf arts aren't very good right now as their scaling is worse than not only the beast claws, but normal claws and fist weapons too. their main utility comes from palm blast with it's absurd damage, hyper armor and good stance break potential. do whatever you think is more fun though

I still dont understand why people do the fire frost combo, if u wanna proc instant damage over and over just use bleed. Its straight up more damage. Frostbite does less damage bc the debuff is supposed to be the selling point of it. I guess the only real reason to do that would be if u have a thematic build but if u wanna proc frostbite over and over just use bleed, its just better at that.

[@ArekkzGaming]

For just frostbite I would understand your point. But your forgetting this build has both bleed and frostbite with the means to reset the frostbite allowing for double procs of both the bleed and the frostbite. So it’s like having 2 separate bleeds building and activating independently, hence its massive burst damage.

[@JollyBonesTheSkeleton]

"lesser known mechanic" lmao my dude, gun to my head I;d say at minimum 70% of the player base knows of this. Fire, Bleed, Frost builds are nothing new. And there are some really crazy ones that do rot, poison, bleed and frostbite. Basically get weapon that has innate status, such as bleed, put another status on it and while that will lower the status of the base you now do two types of status on one weapon, so have a second of that weapon and do it again but now a different status. Ex. Flamberge (greatsword with innate bleed) put frost, now get someone to drop you a second or go into new game plus, put a differnt status on like idk poison and now do the power stance attacks. You now can proc. frost and poison easy and bleed secondly, but since both weapons have innate bleed its still not that bad.
