Jokes aside, the falx is what mantis blade should be. Paired Weapon, Bleed, and the follow up of Revenger's Blade is what the Mantis Blade AoW should've been, the first part of Revenger's Blade is very powerful anyway

[@Jormyyy]

You just made me realize the falx aow followup attack is basically the cemetery shade flail attack

[@humblehomunculus2722]

Easily my favorite hard swap. 360 degree tracking is so good at catching panic rolls. Also it's bugged and applies status effects that are in your offhand. So if you have another weapon with bleed it does crazy bleed buildup. Works with frenzy as well.

I had a fairly strong initial dislike of the great katana moveset, but after actually using it for a bit I really like the weapon type now.

[@JurorNumber24]

The Rakshasa's moveset is very similar to the claymore, but with even more poke.

[@leonardo9259]

It's a better claymore

[@snickers5056]

It is a bit slow but all the thrust attacks it has are super good

[@mr.kittysavestheworld695]

I've had a bit of a hard time liking the Great Katana, even though most people I've seen seem to like it, because it feels slow and clunky to use. The thing is, though, I don't know if it actually IS slow and clunky, I think the visual stiffness of the character's animations just makes it _feel_ slower and stiffer than it actually is, but I don't know for sure. I was hoping someone who knows something about frames could tell me if I'm just being a complete psycho about this.

[@snickers5056]

@@mr.kittysavestheworld695 well I’m no expert on frames but I think it’s a similar attack speed to a greatsword

[@AmiteahEldenRing]

The change to the weapon skill is that it was made 3 frames faster where in 1.12 its attack was 20 frames with hyperarmour (300 poise) at 7 frames and now in 1.13 its attack starts at 17 frames with hypearmour coming out at 6 frames.

[@RuiNDieM1988]

Amazing what 3 frames can do

[@ciaranartorias264]

it really has deceptive range on the crouch/roll poke, plus a nasty delay while they pull back before the hit. nasty to go up against.

Every time Chase enters that grave I get hopeful that he'll attack them while riding the chariot, maybe with the bow or something. Perhaps one day.

He killed someone on the chariot with Radahn’s Greatsword, a gravity kill into the lava, couple of months ago. Search for gravity invasions, I think that was the video….? Worth finding, it was amazing 😎

Im so glad that Rivers got bigger and faster and gave it hyper armour with more auto-tracking, honestly its nice to see fromsoft finally listening to feedback.

[@humblehomunculus2722]

At least it has less range than old rivers. But yeah was a completely unnecessary buff. It was fine the way it was. Hopefully they nerf the hyper armor to be the same as it's regular moveset. Does not need the insane hyper armor it gets.

[@GreekGeek-dh2kh]

Hey Chase, not sure if you know about this, but crouching eliminates the swap animation when drinking your red and blue flasks consecutively (like you do at 5:03). A neat, if situational trick that might come in handy at some point Also, have you tried the stone club since the hammer buffs to speed/forward momentum a while ago? I was wondering if it could roll catch like the reinforced club of DS3 now, and if there's anyone who could pull it off, it's you. I know it's not a new dlc weapon or anything though so you might not want to do it for a while, but just a thought I had and thought I'd share

[@HumanThe22nd]

euporia is broken if you can find a way to charge it up. Fully powered up skill obliterates everyone I've met and has insane tracking making dodging harder than it sounds.

[@Jeffro_boy]

Dude I killed Romina yesterday with the fully charged ash and I had I frames for the duration of it 🤯

[@tobitwo]

I was hardcore into a milady build and tried this for some time and fell in love with it. The moveset feels so nice and I get the feeling of using a claymore when using it also

Let's face it, it's longer, higher damage claymore with pokes in r1 moveset and running r1 poke of halberds for chasedowns. Everything claymore does, this does better, I love absolutely everything about it, 0 faults, 0 weaknesses

[@klaw-rp6ji]

I was in milady build and I found this and also fell in love with it but I said screw it and put the thing in my left hand. Have no idea if there are any true combos with offhand greatkatana and light greatsword though there probably aren't

[@OoglaBoogla.]

[@Feanor1988bis]

I love how with this weapon you can go running heavy into heavy into light attack and it's a sequence of three pokes all with slightly different timings. Also the hyperarmor just feels really good.

[@Kardfogu]

I just realized, the hilariously oversized katana is the least anime thing in the DLC.

[@MHNidas]

Light greatsword showcase into great katana showcase, you love to see it. 10 hefty pots thrown throughout these invasions is also very nice! Looking forward to seeing what buffed weapon you have in store for us tomorrow!

[@BearjewGoHard]

If you have the beast claw in the off-hand and one hand it, you have a guaranteed 3 hit true combo into the aow.

[@BearjewGoHard]

To clarify. Hit with beastclaw then immediately use the aow.

[@anitaremenarova6662]

@@Jeffro_boy So still mid unfortunately, it needs much better scaling.

[@OMIMox]

Was just fighting against a few people in a row using this thing, and I think I found another way they unintentionally buffed it: before, after the first two slashes of the AoW there would be a pause in your hyper armor before the next two slashes come and it would kick back in again. That would give you some space to punish in between each set of slashes. However, with the speed buff that the AoW got it also got effectively *far* fewer frames without hyper armor, to the point where yhe ones *with* HA seem like they overlap. *TLDR: it might have HA through the entire AoW now.*

Something else about great katana that is kinda insane is power stanceing two of them in a dash attack setup.
