It was almost an obvious choice for me, since I’m playing DD2 no stop since the release

I think 70 dex is what’s gonna happen to me when I finally snap as an invader and forgo my cutesy builds

[@AZAELinvaded]

70dex is mean…

I did months ago. The dual falchion lightning infused are MEAN

[@pictux424]

The damage, the fashion, the editing, all on point as usual. Another certified banger. Kudos, brave Tarnished.

[@Viley]

It was so epic. The storm outside made watching it only more climactic. Also that metal pipe kill made me laugh so hard 😂 Really glad we all could share this journey together with you!!💛⚡️

gorgeous thumbnail, and i'm sure the editing's gonna be amazing as usual.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you! 🙏

[@FirstnameLastname-cv1nt]

the dual lightning curved sword gets much more braindead if you use endure and stack all of the "repeated attack talismans" on lightning bandit curved swords. ive been genuinely suprised that mashing into a three man gank ends up badly. its that stupid edit: awesome video keep it up

Azael how do you do it every time? Every new vid leaves me smiling and in tears thinking about the fun I've had and how these games and the community around them has gotten me through so much. Keep putting on a phenomenal show and demoing how fun it is, and why we keep coming back.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you so much for these beautiful words of appreciation, man. I hope I can deliver you even more content after the DLC. I can’t wait, really.

[@donniejules86]

''L2 Master's Cave '' love the theme of the build , amazing video !

[@SpyXl_On_CQ]

The L2 meme at 1:55 is actually so satisfying oml

[@alafosca5724]

To say that this is some of the best editing I've ever seen in YT of any From Software game is an understatement, this is amazing!

[@AZAELinvaded]

I thought nothing could top your poison dex build but OMFG Storm Knight goes SO HARD. This gotta be your new peak content. You are a god AZAEL.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you so much! That video still is one of favorite for a lot of you guys, so you saying that this one was better means a lot 🙏

[@wanderer9134]

Once again you give me inspiration for another build that somehow flew under my radar. See you in the Shadow of the Erdtree and thank you for what you have done.

[@NahNoWayy]

your videos are always of the highest quality, and I love to see your bits of commentary throughout.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thank you! Once the DLC is finally out, I’ll revisit all my builds and do a definitive breakdown for them, in the style of my Crimson Dragon video.

[@petercook438]

This looks sick as hell. You just inspired me to start a lightning dex play through with the Zweihander.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Lightning Zwei is insane

[@BlackReaper0]

Your editing is always peak but this 3:33 right here was insane.

[@AZAELinvaded]

It’s a recreation of the Batman animated series intro, since the character has a bit of “Batman” vibe to him, like night vigilante style. Glad you like it :)

[@elsoul7204]

This level of edit makes my day, i couldnt stop grinning (despite the torture of numerous tarnished, oh well) Now i'll have to download two entire ost!

Another great vid for the collection 💥 also LOLd at the L2 master's cave 😂 i hope you can add another one of those overleveled phantom great tree purgatory type scenes for next time though- that was comedy gold

[@AZAELinvaded]

Man, as soon as I uploaded the video, an insane idea for that bit came to my mind, but it was sadly too late. Next time!

[@AZAELinvaded]

I’ve found a way to use a dex build without feeling bad lol

[@BrainlessV2]

No way this could be an LTG build, Azael didn't ragequit once!

[@meru2695]

Vacuum Slice doesn't get the love it deserves, I know that there are other skills that do the same thing but better but I still love it so much. Great video as always!

[@AZAELinvaded]

I love it, but it’s really bad most of the time. It get worse if you compare it to the other similar Ashes.

[@devotion5940]

Seeing all these storm arts brings a tear to my eye, they're by far my favorite ashes in the game and it's a shame vacuum slice doesn't count as one

[@AZAELinvaded]

It’s a shame indeed. I hope the DLC will give us a few more of them, they’re too cool

[@AIternism]

Hey! I will always remember your videos fondly, they’ve undoubtedly played a huge part in how I approach my video editing style.

[@lvl99paint]

love your videos man, they remind me of the old dark souls 3 invasion days, good times. quality lightning is my favourite invasion build - so many underrated ashes! lightning slash is mega slept on

[@AZAELinvaded]

The old Souls YT vibes are exactly what I’m try to achieve with these videos!

[@Alenbh4g]

I finished up a very similar build to this literally yesterday and the inspiration behind it was heavily from you. The timing on this videos release is wild. We use similar weapons, ashes, and fashion too!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Nice! Yeah Storm Ashes are INCREDIBLE in PvE as well as PvP, I loved them since day 1, and I was dying to finally use them in a cohesive thematic build for invasions. I hope they expand a bit on Lightning Ashes tho, they are too limited in what they can do, even tho they are very strong.

[@Alenbh4g]

@@AZAELinvaded I do too. I hope they add more elemental themed ashes in general. The ones we have so far are cool, but there’s too few of them. I wish I did make mine more a dex build though so I could maximize lightning infusions. I made it a pure strength build so I could use certain weapons that I thought would fit the theme I was going for (I wanted to use the duelists and banished knight weapons). I feel pretty stupid for not thinking of that lol. I might restat it into a dex build.

[@themain3524]

6:18 The spirit of DS1 is with you. Love that I can see the "wall bs" in ER as well

Dude the editing on this video is crazy! Good job

[@AZAELinvaded]

Thankssssss

[@robd.2169]

Another quality banger. Editing was simply amazing. You really are a menace out there! Your parry timing is impeccable. Your camera manipulation whether it be to adjust it to pull off a weapon art when fighting 3 damn people is nuts. You're god tier man!

[@AZAELinvaded]

Being back to parry consistently was so good! Also, the Storm Parry is not as bad as I thought! It’s actually pretty decent even with a medium shield.

[@Egg-88]

Awesome vid man. Production value again through the roof. I'm thinking of forgoing my level 40 build for low level invasions and just sink it into this. Only so many times I can get summoned in at level 40, limited talismans and weapon level to try and fight off two ridiculously overpowered phantoms

[@AZAELinvaded]

Lv40/60 are so much fun tho. I can recommend you to try to go through all the PvE to get all the stuff you need (talisman pouches too) and keep your level low, so you can compete with overleveled phantoms and pesky hosts. Level 60/80 were definitely my favorite ranges for invasions. Can’t wait to get a boost to player activity with the DLC.

[@JoeMama17888]

Your best video yet oh mah gawd

[@AZAELinvaded]

Really? Wow thanks! I think I did better in other videos for some aspects, but I like the final result nonetheless

[@Twilight_Researcher]

Well I definitely have some new ideas to take into my Vagabond Storm Knight also then. Been waiting on this one. Some of those combos were great! Definitely making me take another look at Vacuum Slice also.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Vacuum Slice is…a bad mix bag, honestly. Hitbox too narrow, no hyperarmor (I don't understand why), a tad too slow, the range is inconsistent, sometimes when you hit a player with the blade part of the animation you do little to no damage. It's weird, but it's cool as fuck, so I'm gonna use it anyway lol

Epic AF my dude, as always! Thanks for all the effort and work! I love the storm, lightning, and fire stuff add needed spice to physical builds! Shadow of the Erdtree will be an interesting process lol. I'm going to love it but I also fully expect some new weapons and spells to become cancer for a while! It's just the natural cycle of Fromsoft DLC.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Yes, the DLC will most likely break everything lol Thank you so much! Happy that you liked the video :)

[@TheValiantBob]

It was neat seeing some underappreciated weapons in this video. Like the falchion and scimitar instead of the bandit curved sword and shamshir, or the regular halberd instead of banished knight halberd. Also using that Nepheli quote for the SotE foreshadow was awesome. Here's hoping for more lightning and storm AoW in the expansion! One I'm hoping for is a lightning variant of unsheathe that buffs the katana with lightning when you sheathe it

[@AZAELinvaded]

That would be cool (and anime) as fuck. I think we desperately need more variety in lighting ashes of war, right now it’s really slim (only three)

[@TheValiantBob]

@@AZAELinvaded I got the lightning unsheathe idea from looking at the dragonscale katana and going "this would be way cooler if instead of lightning slash it got buffed from unsheathe" lol. But yeah we definitely need more lightning ashes, especially since the ones we got are so lacking in flashy style!

[@ironymaiden1089]

Style is the strongest attribute! In terms of fashion, you could use Blaidd gauntlets, they fit a bit better.

[@AZAELinvaded]

Blaidd’s were my second best option! They fit very well, but I prefer the Fire Prelate’s ones ‘cause I love how they have the same shade of silver of the pauldron, and they also have same “scaley”. But yeah, they both fit perfectly.
