[@Jadizi]

So basically bleed is the best? 😅

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@Jadizi for ER on NG+7 absolutely one of the best options. Average boss HP for DLC+ & NG+7 is around 60-70k. % damage is huge.

[@christophermorris486]

What carried me thru the DLC 1) Dragon hunters Great Katana 2) Claws of Night 3) Rashaka’s Great Katana

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Solid picks! 🤘

[@travisbickle3835]

Imma stick with my trusty blasphrmous blade dual wield combined with lordsworns greatsword with fiyaaahh 🔥

[@ehigieEseosa]

Same soon as I found that katana knew I wanted a double gk build but after dragon part switch it to the regular gk with savage lion claw

Nice! That’s fun though tbh. 🤘

[@r3dpowel796]

let me know which one is the most broken

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@r3dpowel796 the most broken is probably still jumping bleed. Easiest is BB. Unless you’re going for a ton of buffs, then you can use any weapon or spell/incantation with high AR/damage.

[@r3dpowel796]

@@AverageGamerMatt I wonder whats the best build for Poise DMG. pure Poise. I dont think there are many. the easiest stagger build.

[@freemaysin5088]

@@r3dpowel796 pure poise? probably star fist/iron ball RkR

[@Tarnishedwarrior124]

Dude your doing an amazing work with all these builds like every time im looking for a new build on my ng+28 i go to you

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Thank you! 🙏 🤘

[@lharsay]

For the Lion's Claw/Savage Lion's Claw build I'd use an other colossal over the Bloodfiend's Arm. The Giant Crusher and Prelate hammer get almost the same bleed buildup with 200more AR. The unique thing about the Bloodfiend's Arm is the fully charged heavy attack having an extra hitbox which doubles the status buildup on hit.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

While that’s true I just wanted to add Bloodfiend’s arm in. Unfortunately on NG+7 trading hits with it isn’t viable & the charged attack is slow.

[@lharsay]

@@AverageGamerMatt Yeah, it's kinda situational. One other build I'd definitely recommend trying would be going full crouch pokes with the Guts GS. Leda's armor, Lacerating Crossed Tree and Two Handed talisman combo gave it a huge damage boost with the DLC.

[@JustinTrebuchet]

Use Golems Halberd that shit hits like 159 bleed I think… savage on it is crazy good!!

[@danpaxton8107]

I’ve been watching the channel a lot recently. The builds I rarely seen are ones that incorporate weapon buffs such as Black Flame or Order’s Blade. Great content

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@danpaxton8107 so black flame blade is too short unfortunately. Order’s blade I can incorporate into a build, though. And glad to hear that! 🤘

[@alidamghani2095]

Against any humanoid boss or mob, I highly recommend Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword. It's AOW is a gap closer and when tapped twice does a massive charged explosion.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Yep very good weapon! Fun too 🤘

[@CapoFisk]

This is the channel I always go to for new builds. Thank you for continuing to provide the best content for Elden Ring builds. My favorite weapon is still Blasphemous Blade on my heretic build but I’ve also tried many of your builds and have loved most of them.

Use Ice Spear on the Swift Spear for a cheap, lightweight frost proc poke. Great for fist builds that lack reach (looking at you, Claws of Night)!

The bloodfiend arm is crazy with occult and royal knights resolve

[@AverageGamerMatt]

@@ehigieEseosa yep it’s good with cragblade & lions claw too. Very broken weapon.

Add iron jar aromatic to the spinning strikes build and you have a formula for killing Godrick before his phase transition

[@murtaugh1761]

I only tried my bubble build once after the nerf, it felt like they murdered it, I’ll have to try it again

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Add rakshasa set it helps a lot! 🤘

[@BlackFlameMonk]

Regarding the FKGS, probably Flame Skewer is better for fast-paced boss fights, like Maliketh. Flame Spear is excellent, but you do not always have a window to fully charge it.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

That is very true my friend! Deff situational but amazing weapon 🔥

[@andrewerickson3006]

Star Fists needs to have Blasphemous Blade on your back, with talisman swap (swaddling cloth/takers cameo) for mobs. Then switch talismans for boss fight w/charged R2s...BROKEN!

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Depends on journey. NG+7 poise is brutal. Also at RL 125-150 in the meta range, STR Faith & possibly ARC depending on building them could be tough.

[@Xternnal]

I think faith is best stat because of the variety you can do like blasphemous blade with the ADLC and Pest Threads and the buffs and fire damage especially for Radagon and Scadutree avatar, that’s why I think faith is best stat for higher NGs

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Faith is amazing! 🔥 ⚡️ 🤘

The build that carried me through the DLC was Milady with Storm Blade and a medium shield.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Good setup! 🤘

[@skengbiscuit279]

Magic or frost infused Milady with wing stance, carian regal sceptre in the offhand with renallas twin moons and zamor ice storm, and an iron greatsword with carian sovereignty, a mix of renallas, lorettas and carian knight armour. Im having more fun with this than I have with any other build so far

[@sheebs1987]

You're totally right. Barely any room to heal !

[@Forozza]

My favorite build which I find most reliable are dual long swords in quality affinity (RL 150). As for these builds my most favorite has to be the fire knight greatsword build!

Haha thank you! 🙏 and yeah here’s a DLC one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXu2lIt_eNGNisksi=qWqhW6h4VC5NKz2N (It has lightning & communion). Cheers.

[@idiosyncraticRyugu]

@@AverageGamerMatt Thanks a bunch mate! :D

[@TheCapcarap]

Wing Of astel is very op in my opiniom.. it has a fantastic Talent and on top Heavy attack is op too

[@AverageGamerMatt]

It’s just outside my top 20. It’s very good but mainly for big bosses.

[@Enigmatic_Soldier]

on the starfist set i would rather swap out rakshasas armor as well as milicents prosthesis for no armor and the blue dancer charm below 8 weight you get 15% more physical damage you can also swap out the sword insignia for the dragoncrest shield which helps you out even more taking more damage is always bad and having the option to get better defenses even if it is just a little bit and getting a bigger damage boost is better in my opinion also since you most likely get only 1-2 heavy hits out the continuous attack damage will deactivate until your next hit whereas blue dancer is permanently active also you have light rolls giving you more surviveability tried that on radabeast and many other bosses multiple times and always works like a charm

[@AverageGamerMatt]

For DLC I’d recommend some armor unless you’re using ranged attacks. You don’t take additional damage for rakshasa btw, it just has lower defenses for its weight & poise class.

[@Enigmatic_Soldier]

well since i always collect all 20 scadutree fragments, bosses there deal way less damage in comparison to the base game bosses especially on lower levels like 150, 200 or even 300 i often use the dragon forms or play without armor only with the dragoncrest shield or even none because the scadutree fragments cancel so much of the damage you take that armor cant really compromise if rakshasas armor can improve the damage while staying on low equip load then i will use it but most of the time i dont even on ng+7

[@peregrinepack9585]

When running the single Gargoyle Twinblade with seppuku (I actually ran it with bloody slash for my first playthrough), what do you recommend doing on Radagon/Elden Beast? I really struggled with them due to the bleed immunity. Could another weapon be run with the same Strength/Arcane setup?

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Yep! You can even go pure STR & 2 hand for 60 STR. GUTS & lions claw. Marais executioner sword. Lot of STR options.

[@danieljurisevic]

well if you got alot of arcane, just go occult affinity instead of blood and you scale DAMAGE from arcane but physical ;)

[@plainluke722]

What about the giant chicken leg < blasphemous ? Feels like a lot of bosses are immune to fire, I beat the base game and at messmir currently in DLC; all with the help of summons - lvl 160 70 FTH 40 STR. Blasphemous has felt weak against a ton of bosses (dungeons it destroys though). Considering switching to the leg for when I start NG+

[@jamesclancy2688]

I build blood build with bloodhound fang and it carried me to maliketh where I had to use Blasphemas blade to beat him and used moghs weapon to beat malenia I found mogh tough no matter what I used till I put freeze grease on the bloodhound fang and just wiped him out 🤷🏼‍♂️

the twin blade gargoyle carried me against consort radahn after dying 100 times using summon NPC but later on 1 v 1 against radahn I was able to inflict soo much damage on him. with bleed I should have used frost build up as well but I was not aware, it was on my NG+2 my favourite build its not over powered but it is good enough to take on enemies if you use mimic spirit you can easily overwhlem the proc against any bosses. I think its even more broken if you use mimi tear.

Blasphemous blade and staff of loss with night comet has carried me in elden ring and the dlc, I wear rakshasas armor but with the fire knight helm because it boosts hp , stamina, and equipment load , I also use the carian filigree crest, boiled crab , and the cerulean hidden tear with opaline defense, it depends on the boss , that's what makes elden ring unique you can change items depending on the situation, I also found out the solitude armor with the finger print shield is great fighting furnace golems, the pest thread spears melts them and if you can get above them heavy furnace pots , did you play dragons dogma, I didn't notice, ny
