The best part about bayles tyranny is you have insane hyperarmour as soon as the actual dragon comes out. You can also boost with magma talisman, fire/lightning cracked tear, and fgms/GV. Took out a host with around 2200 hp in one hit not in dragon form

Bad thing is it has absolutely no range and the recovery is extremely long.

You don't even need endure with the hyperarmour usually but if they're being really aggressive it helps. Max cast speed helps

@@gravitonnedissapointment1820 this build isn't so scary. Every int and many faith casters counter it. Strong melee aggression counters it. Glass cannon PvP builds aren't popular for a reason.

[@maximumcockage6503]

Shield poke builds counter it pretty easily since you can just walk through the attacks then stab them the second they fall, especially if it's an armorless guy. I killed a few dragon users running this build that tried attacking while I was tanking for my noob friend. The breaths have basically no poise break and all the good breaths like Rot or Maw or Claw do physical damage which gets 100% blocked by Finger Print or Verdigis shield which already have high guard boost. A few bloody sword lance pokes shreds an armorless near instantly since they're glass cannons. And after the DLC, shield pokers are everywhere due to the introduction of sword lance and verdigis, as well as the bosses having so much health you have to do blood damage, plus they're all faster and more aggressive so shielding is the move. Chase got lucky that he only faced one shield using tank and he was double handing it.

Not many hit the required threshold of skill, especially in random invasions, and it's always so good when it happens. That backstab was not easy to pull off.

[@gojirasaiyan3256]

@@anitaremenarova6662 while this is true, I personally find it boring to ONLY use incantations; I was hoping to put claws on as a fitting weapon type, however the 0 poise just kills the idea completely even in PVE. I wish they would just give us poise in a future patch, or just let us wear our armor under the skin, idk. SOMETHING, ANYTHING

[@Milequetoaster]

​@gojirasaiyan3256 Poison Perfume Bottles should scale well with the Arcane you're investing to use the Dragon Communion Seal in the first place and get deadly poison on it as well. That or another light weapon with a Blood/Poison/Occult infusion. There's actually an insightful video by Crightt detailing a build focused on the Rock Heart Transformation supplemented with Dryleaf Arts as a melee option. Definitely worth a watch.

[@Uhsnuh]

Who tf thought dragon breath needed more buffs 😩 that shiz literally has the range of a basketball court

[@spiraljumper74]

While it may initially seem that *SACRED BLOODY FLESH* would work well for this build with the arcane boost, “unfortunately,” there is no bleed dragon breath. 😅 I guess you could always spam Bloodboon Ritual, or use an offhand seppuku stick. The buff does affect incant damage, but so many dragon incants one-shot on a well optimized build anyway. Actually, I’m coming around on it. It’s overkill in pvp, but for pve if you’re doing a pure dragon build the offhand seppuku would be great for squeezing out a lot of extra incant damage, representing about a 9% increase over exalted flesh, more if you can fit LoB’s exultation (you can always hardswap off it).

Something that works really well with this build as well is the dane's footwork and other martial art weapon, poison infused with Poison Flower Blooms Twice. You can put on the rot's exultation talisman for extra damage, since you'll be using both rot and poison. You could also swap between the shattered stone and blessed blue dew talismans with the canvas talismans is you're low and/or wanna conserve FP. I call it the Crouching Toxic, Hidden Dragon build

[@whysosleepyjoe2811]

The talons for endure was a good touch 😂

[@dragontamer1012]

tip for using Bayle's Tyranny, you don't need endure because it has inherent hyper armour anyways, and it's VERY powerful hyper armour. It activates as soon as the head comes out so it makes for an amazing trade tool, basically you want to use on someone who has committed to attacking you, kind of as a light predict. If you land it, it can very VERY easily one shot.

I ran a 60 arc~ 30 fth dragon caster with a handful of physical and incant damage buffs and i just tore through the game - MOSTLY with Dragonmaw, the hyper armor it gives is insane. I was even bullying Malenia with it (2 or 3 staggered her and opened her up for an occult misceriode crit)

Can’t wait to see the copy cats. It’ll be fun sending a comet their way every time they roar.

You hitting the second invader in the last segment kinda reminded me of the mound- maker mad phantoms of ds3. Sadly I still haven't maxed out that covenant yet but it was fun watching full pandemonium happen in online multiplayer.

[@MitchelxUnderoath]

To make this a bit more viable in colosseum, i had to invest 40 dex and radogan icon for max cast speed. I know it's not much extra speed, but i found it really helps land against opponents that are really good at spacing.

[@HumanThe22nd]

I have been waiting for you to do this since like your first few dlc videos. Bayle's tyrrany is kinda bad but it's really fun to land the hit (in areas like say shadow keep or a catacomb where they can't run away), focus all the buffs on fire/lightning damage, and one hit them.

[@IOSARBX]

ChaseTheBro, nice video keep up the amazing work

[@rik8147]

You know incantation build also one shots? full bear roar build, with the latest buffs it really does a ton of damage, build is double incantation damage talisman together with the roar talisman and the charged spell talisman, max faith with the best faith scaling seal for your SL, bear helmet and the highlander axe that boosts roars with endure, because the spell does not have hyper armor sadly, if enemies aggress you and you run and turn a corner and do a full roar you can one shot a whole team.

[@ChancioGames]

Imagine him breaking up with you and giving you the signature "double goodbye" as his very last words to you

[@axofrogl]

7:43 what hit him was you falling on him, it does a tiny bit of damage and staggers players and some enemies when you land on top of them.

[@goomshill]

I mean of course dragonmaw hits like a truck, its the most damaging spell/ability in the game. 628% scaling when a charged giantsflame is 389 and a lightning spear is 234. But even greyoll's roll is 320% base, so that 2x DCS, dancer/roar/flock/faith talisman and dragon heart buff winds up a multiplicative ~2.13x or so. So yeah with ~317 base seal damage that's ~2160 base damage for a greyoll's roar before you run it through from's insane damage/armor formula, that's huge

[@michaelbowman6684]

The worst part about this build is being bullied by Briar Armor because you have 0 Poise meaning you get stagger by literally anything that does Poise damage, the Dragon Forms are very gimmicky because of this, you need to play super scared of everything and try to stay as far away from people as possible, but them chucking a throwing knife will still interrupt your spell casts.
