Hey Chase! I'd love to see you do a Weapon Showcase for the Flail. I'm interested to see if you can explain, if possible, how to make it competent in PvP. Cheers!

[@cadunkus]

Chain link flail for Str, nightrider flail for Dex, and I can't find a use for the basic flail. Spinning chain is good for getting bleed in PvE but you'll never hit anyone in PvP with it, plus there's no infusions for it, unfortunately. You can't parry a flail normally but some ashes of war like wild strikes can be parried, you also can't backstab with it but that means you won't get those annoying failed backstab attempts so I personally call that a bonus (just keep a misericorde or something in your pocket for ripostes.)

Don’t forget the charged R2 cancel into retreating slash. This can be followed up with an R1 or L1 that moves you forward again. Similar to thrusting swords. Super useful for baiting and punishing.

yap this weapons are so op and so good xD its ridicilous I mean since bleed is so broken

Ah yes, one of the infamous bleed build swords. The running and jumping attacks for dual curved swords are insane with how many times you slash with one L1. You get a buff on the jumping L1 if you wear the Raptor’s Black Feathers chestpiece. Idk how much it buffs tho

My favorite. But I switched to the scavenger's curved sword with occult affinity and seppuku. Both are OP.

[@Naim11443]

Yeah but for like 300-400 invasions bleed is fun, after that it feels like it’s too easy it’s too fucking unbrained XDDD

[@skeletalspiders6697]

Seppeku is actually stronger on occult weapons, as it scales off of arcane.

[@TheRealGigaCat]

Nizar GG?

[@dramalexi]

I'm sure this has been posted and discussed quite a lot. But nevertheless, I did some research and calculations and just wanted you to share. Despite bleed and Seppuku being clearly overpowered and therefore banned in tournaments for a good reason, I will try to make an approach to face this insanity if you still think you can fight this in the arena. This whole thing really comes down to simple math. Seppuku gives one weapon a buff of about 80 bleed. Depending on the choice of weapon and the Arcane stat, a standard bleed weapon will have, let's say about 120 bleed. A lot of players fight bleed weapons unprepared and seem to have only roughly 300 robustness. This results in an insta procc against a dual wielder with one seppuku buff in hand (120*2 + 80 = 320). Mind that there is a possibility that someone buffs two weapons separately with Seppuku and has 400 bleed per L1 attack. In my opinion, the ideal robustness should be at the very least 700. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to get this much. Before the fight, you would need to put on the Stalwart Horn Talisman+1 (+140 robustness, the Mottled Necklace gives only +60 robustness and is quite a waste IMO) and eat Invogarating White Cured Meat (+75 for 2 minutes). Your standard robustness is at least 185 at SL 125. Endurance grants also robustness but this is only significant if you wield a big shield with 40+ Endurance. Until here you will have about 400 robustness in total. Depending on your armor you get about 100 ~ 200 extra robustness. Radahn's and Lionel's Armor have the highest robustness and grant a bonus of 235 extra points so you will have 625 in total. As you can see two consecutive L1 attacks will still procc the bleed (320*2 = 640). At this point, I am forced to say, that fighting this would simply be a matter of pure madness. So maybe you should stall the fight until your opponent will have to reapply Seppuku after 60 seconds again. Unfortunately I don't see any other option since it will take ~45 seconds to recover from 320 bleed. I'd simply wish that FromSoft will allow us some 500 extra robustness in the future. Because otherwise bleed and especially Seppuku is just too OP.

[@skeletalspiders6697]

Yeah but you don't actually know how much bleed seppeku adds, because it actually scales with your weapons arcane scaling. Meaning on something like an occult scavengers curved sword you actually have higher arcane scaling thus seppuku has higher bleed build up. So you're just guessing because it's kind of hard to truly tell how much bleed you're building. You're also forgetting multi hit attacks like the run and jump attacks of curved swords.

[@dramalexi]

@@skeletalspiders6697 And what do you propose then? What is your approach? But you are right. I didn't read the part that Seppuku adds some extra bleed depending on your Arcane stat. At 60 Arcane the weapons gets about 100 bleed, so it's 20 more bleed than I've written. Increasing Arcane beyond 60 would simply deny you to have more HP or a good armor.

[@sturmmagnunstein1008]

The biggest issue is the motion value for status when using powerstance. Yes, each hit has the same mv as the one handed attacks, but PW attacks are far faster and does more hits. Adding 500 robustness would make single weapons with bleed completely uselss, and by proxy, made builds that dont use pw bleed weapons far too weak. I suggest giving 2h weapon more MV for status, reduce the mv for PW attacks, and make hyper armour stronger.

[@skeletalspiders6697]

@@dramalexi yeah but it's more complicated then that, it's not just your arcane stat, it's your arcane scaling.

[@StuOrWhatever]

I remember you saying you didn't like weapons with buff on use, but the Grafted Blade Greatsword is really fun to play with. It also gives you more poise on use, so you can completely mix your setup around. It has the most satisfying attacks, and with the recent buffs it became even more fun. No one I've seen invading or in fights uses it, and it'd be fun to watch you bonk some moonveils on the head with it. Not very strong, but a massive poise breaker, easy to turn with it when attacking.

I'd love to see the Wing of Astel covered in this series!! it's been one of my favorite weapons to use (the ash of war for pve aside, I don't like cheesing bosses, lmao). I love the animations and how flowy it feels with all of the attacks, and the ranged attack is very useful! Also, (idk if this is just curved swords or this weapon, but) I've found myself loving the running heavy because you can kinda strafe with it to narrowly avoid an attack and then strafe back towards your enemy to hit them with that same attack! (Is that practical? maybe not, but it's flashy as FUCK and I'd love to try LOL) Also regarding the ash of war (I've only tried this in pve but not pvp yet, so you may be able to roll out of it in pvp), but if you can get off a backstab, you throw out the ash of war as soon as you can after the backstab animation and then attack, and they'll get hit by the ash of war as they're getting up and you can attack as the ash stuns them. (for the attack of choice, I like to charge up the heavy attack immidiately after I cast the ash of war for the delay since the ash of war can stun them, and also the high damage, but the aim can be finicky so free-aiming it or using another attack may be better idk). But if that works in pvp and you can't just roll out of it easily (maybe you can rollcatch from that with the ranged attack but idk), it could be a great combo!!! I love the weapon, both its moveset and its aesthetic and animations. I would love to see how that would look at it's fullest potential!! *Especially* if you try dual weilding it, as I've never seen that before and would love to see how it works!! love the videos :3

Dual wielding "fast" weapons are very strong when it comes to damage output due to the number of hits, even without bleed. Then add talismans that stack multiplicatively. Kinda crazy how strong they are in ER, excluding an AoW. Fromsoft really needs to get off their ass and start cranking out some balancing changes. Especially when most changes are blatant and easy to point out.

[@tempyoyo]

Fun fact: the big glintstone usable item where you crush it in your hands does a lot of poise damage- i found this out myself, you can stun people using BHS, you can interrupt most casters, even aggressive bleed builds are forced to roll away in fear of stun whilst you yourself can go do whatever as it'll track them wherever they are.

[@Uhshawdude]

[@BiskitBandit]

My end game build of my first playthrough was pretty similar to this, except I spec'd for occult affinity and doubled down on arcane and used the scavenger's curved blade on one hand. The damage output was insane w/out the bleed affinity. Since the jump attack and running attack hits 4 times, I used the jump attack talisman as well. I later made a co-op build that spec'ed into frost instead. The double status build up is a bit mental.

Once again, excellent video. I really enjoy the variety you bring.

Originally did an Arcane build for the dragon incantations but wanted to try out bleed too, had to stop myself from using the dual curved sword/twinblade setups bc of how broken it is. I like Mohg's spear or Bloody Helice+Bloody Godskin Stitcher combo. Bleed but not super busted (aside from bloodboon ritual of course). It would be cool to see you try out the Helphen's Steeple (Onyx Greatsword from DS3) or Death Ritual Spear (pretty cool AoW). Thinking about doing a build with them and would love to see them in action first.

[@SneakybeakyScrub]

bandits curved is probably best for bleed since it actually has good damage but you could also argue for comboing it with a cold or poison scavenger's

[@scottsocia7828]

For bleed, Occult Scavenger would be a better fit with inate bleed on them allowing them to hit harder and to bleed easily as well. I run them triple status for status memes and status pressure but, for pure damage and bleed they would be the optimal choice. Also, Occult Flamburge with Double Slash 🙏

[@pedanterrific212]

Occult Scavenger’s has somewhat lower bleed buildup and only slightly higher AR than Blood Bandit’s once you hit the softcaps. It’s less stat-hungry since you only need Arcane, but by 120 you can easily afford 45 Dex/45 Arc and Bandit’s bleed advantage more than outweighs the ~5% less AR, against anything not immune to bleed.

[@GKinWor]

[@scurrathetrickster6879]

If im not wrong there is a a spell that negate bleed and elemental dmg on shield

[@flavioavmello]

I don't get people using soreseals above level 80ish... At that point the damage increase is already significant, and the damage output is already high enough where the 15% is higher than the hp and defenses you will gain, also there is already enough stats to make a decent build. Also, bleed should work like Frostbite, where if you don't remove the debuff you can't get frostbitten again. While you can remove it with fire, it is a sacrifice that the player has to do it. Given how OP bleed is, I don't understand how has this not been nerfed.

[@Coast2CoastFlyin]

Have you tried the Zamor curved sword? It's a bit of a weird weapon, unique moveset for a curved greatsword, and a strong aoe ash of war, although the radius isn't huge so you often rely on baiting people in and trading them, but it does anywhere from 1000-1200 damage if you catch someone with the whole thing, which happens surprisingly often since literay nobody uses it or knows what it is. Sometimes people even just run right into it lol

thank you for the great content chase your videos help a lot in keeping the game fresh!

Great video! I appreciate your content. I'd be interested in seeing a whip build, ex. x2 cold Hoslow Petal Whips or a keen Urumi. The Urumi is fun because it has a unique heavy with a lot of reach that folks don't expect + S dex scaling.

Have you done the twinblade yet? I'd love to see just the basic twinblade used by you

Dual wielding daggers seems like fun. Specifically the black knife dagger.

Hey Chase, I love the weapon showcases. But I'd love to see ash of war showcases aswell, where you focus on one aow and show us the best weapons for the aow. Some weapons you've shown have really good mixups with certain ashes (ex: baemore+storm stomp). I would be great to see some more of those :D
