Elden Ring: Axe Of Godfrey (Weapon Showcase Ep.25)

[@Jon_East]

Hey Chase, I'm the player behind Friend of Clouds / dual Bleed Rotten Hammer, just wanted to say I really enjoyed our duel. :D I wasn't sure if it was really you because you flasked first, haha. That last hit was literally me accidentally jumping instead of dodging.

Keeping with the theme of mediocre axes used by the royal family line, maybe the Axe o' Godrick next? I will say, the weapon art on this one does look like a lot of fun. I'll have to try that out in NG+ or something!

it's also interesting because the Godfrey axe is just a broken larger version of godrick's greataxe, also without the slight obsession with gold and gold-plating godrick had.

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

the axe, armor and stand were all to Limit Hoaroa Loux, to make him civilized.... to be Godfrey and not Hoarah Loux the Warrior... it makes sense that the 'great king's axe' is a balanced weapon, as it fits how he balanced his savagery with civility... and in the end he forgoes ALL pretense and fights warrior versus warrior to the end

[@rhysofsneezingdragon1758]

Hoarah Loux feels both dexterous and strong. It makes sense to me he's the master of quality.

[@theobell2002]

Scaling isn't everything. Though, it should have been a pure strength scaling weapon instead of quality but it's base damage is quite high already. You can easily reach an AR of over 1k with it's Regal Roar buff + Flame, Grant Me Strength.

[@snowman202]

Btw, axe of godfrey user here, the stomps go through block, inital stomp deals dmg, follow ups stagger if they good enough blocking, still its a really good counter agaisnt shield&poke players

[@inambience]

The mere fact that you won those invasions with that axe is crazy! You're a legend, Chase.

[@dyldragon1]

Bizarre that they made this weapon a quality weapon, should have been pure STR with like an A scaling. Regardless, it's still a pretty cool weapon, if only for its weapon skill. That alone is why it's my favorite colossal.

[@Magus_Union]

Yeah, it's a shame you have to wait until the *very end* of the game to get this weapon. But the Ash of War is what really sells this axe, since it can weapon buff and aoe stun for a follow up slam. It's certainly my favorite as well in NG+ atm on a high STR/low FTH build (over rl150, mind you).

[@theobell2002]

The scaling is so weird on this weapon. Despite having a C scaling in strength and D scaling in dex, the optimal stat allocation is 66 strength and 80 dex. You will sit at 906 AR when two-handing.

If this doesn't prove he can win with any weapon idk what does. He's one of the few creators who can entertain me..... along with pl and lost. It's about attitude and Chase doesn't cry about the problems with the game. He uses the skill gained from the past and just wrecks ppl

[@christianlangdon3766]

Yep my favorite out of the claw weapons, it's look is great and through a playthrough it is really cool to build around as you have three easy routes with it. It just doesn't gell with other builds that well. Like for instance you can go hvy attack or jump build, as its unique hvy is great but it being dex hurts it since most great hvys are strength. The jump can be built around a ton more but is a easy playstyle to counter overall. Granted if you have a bit of lag you become really annoying to deal with with phantom range doubling and invulnerability frames. The other route is arcane since it has bleed you can try that route for fun.

[@mr.goodcat1810]

Yea claws are never given any love less than hammers even lol

[@christianlangdon3766]

@@mr.goodcat1810 yea I know there is the royal knight resolve bug that makes it potentially able to one shot in pvp, but it has so few ashes of war and the reduced range on them definitely feels a lot worse than in previous games. I did a corvian claw playthrough in dk3 and it was pretty fun do to the ash of war and the quickness it afforded a build to be. But claws here don't get any of the WPA you would think they could have the mist ashes which can be put on almost every weapon nope. And a few others hurt their build variety pretty badly.

[@BlueShellshock]

I always admire Chase's patience. I was in a similar situation to that duel at 5:05 with Cloud, both of us low, but me with the slower Godfrey axe. I thought it was just a matchup loss against dual Scavengers, but I also kept trying to initiate too much -- could've maybe won if I just waited for them to come in.

[@persassy7076]

The final invasion really made me appreciate Chase's skill. He bested a powerful gank, with a moonveil no less, while wielding a very slow weapon. Oh, and with all his heals stripped in the first 30 seconds. Mad respect, this one really shined out from all the shorter-lived invasions. 👍👍👍

Hey Chase, you should totally check out the AR Calculator for weird scaling weapons like this one! The Dragon Greatclaw, for example, also has the reputation of a Str-based weapon while in reality it's a pure quality one. Also, give ''Staff of the Avatar'' a try someday! It has great scaling (and hopefuly damage) and has a...butt attack! A holy butt attack!

[@kyronwilliams1028]

nice showcase of the Godfrey Axe Chase! I'm pretty late to mentioning, didn't see anyone else mention it either, but from my use of it it seems the unique R2s after you do Regal Roar completely bypass shields. Both the ash of war itself and the R2's will just act like the person never was blocking and deal full damage loi. tested against a friend holding various shields and greatshields. Try swapping to it in your strength invasions against a shield poker maybe :P

[@crushablepaper1570]

"An Entire Family" was the best cosplay

[@Ekzykes_DaJerboa]

I’ve been maining the axe of Godfrey for little while now on a few different build set ups, I get the passive poise but running it with axe talisman, roar medallion, shard of Alexander, and erdtree’s favour with medium armour is my preferred setup / loadout. All the talismans make it so I hit like a truck (slapping people with even un-charged r2’s for around 1200 ish damage) most of my play style is focused around trading attacks with people and hitting them harder due to roar buffed heavies giving a stupid amount of poise. It just feels so good to launch people into the air and leave them on barely any health or to fully tank a guts great sword poke in light armour, I guess i have a barbarian / berserker type thing going on and I’m loving it. Anywho sorry for rambling, I’m just a fan of big weapons in this game and especially in pvp Keep being awesome chase! Love u and ur content ^^

Phantom: *dies* Host: ah yes must be time to run

[@chuckmastacheese]

22:20 Poor Blue. It can take hours till you actually get summoned and half the time the invader/host gets killed before you can get to the fight. Or you can run into those weird invasions where the invader and host are just playing around with each other, meme-ing and not fighting. Sometimes you are spawned behind a bunch of PvE and have to fight your way through to get to the invasion. You can get ambushed from behind as you are spawned in. This guy probably tried to run passed a Banished Knight and got clapped. Plus any consumable items you might have been using during your playthrough, do not get replenished when you are brought in. On top of all that, any tough enemy or field boss you might have been fighting in your game, gets their HP reset but yours does not. This happened to me fighting the Draconic Tree Sentinel at a relatively low level and was having a hard time. Came back to my game with half health, in range of the boss (who had full health again) and got smashed. Have a little sympathy for the boyz in blue.

I’d love to see the Dragon Halberd- I love the variety of attacks you get from powerstancing the poke halberds and changing between the L1 and R1 and the ash of war is aesthetically cool if nothing else (that being said if you wait a second before doing the follow up people do get caught out by it.)
