I've been using Bloodfiends Arm with Bleed. At 80 Arc you get 223 bloodloss!!! Pair it with Savage Lions claw and everyone bleeds! Love the builds in the vid

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Haha thanks! 🙏 and nice! 🤘

[@maliciousmudkip3656]

Try using the non-roar heavy attacks, even an uncharged heavy procs bleed in a single hit on MOST enemies. The attack has a blood splatter that both damages and causes extra bleed buildup.

[@duopled5114]

My main build is greatsword or 2 giant crusher haha but have you seen those insane perfume builds that do around 40k damage in one hit?!? Yeah, but I had to use bloodfiend arm build to whoop prime radahn😂😂 I used cragblade on the bloodfiend arm, I dont know if theres a better ash of war for it😂

The bloodfiends arm doesn't drop for the trash mobs that wield it. There's a big mob with a wizard bloodfiend at the top of the ruins that has a 100% drop chance for the bloodfiend arm. The info online is not correct!

Idk if NG scales with this expansion, but I saw some people fight the golden hippo and take on 4-5 hits, im on NG 7 and the golden hippo can practically 1 shot you so IDK where Im going wrong if scaling isn't a thing. Even random units can 2 shot you lol.

It still scales with NG+ cycle from my understanding, just to a lesser degree than the base game.

Im using FTH Flame Dryleaf + Braggart's Roar WA and having a ton of fun with the buffs and ranged, the oil tear is perfect to amp fire dmg to near enemies. also tried them with a INT Cold with Rannis Darkmoon and was nice to slow down Frostbitten enemies, but Im not a fan of magic. Beast Claws are just too commited with their attack to make it viable to attack and dash out when needed, but them with Blood or Bloodflame Blade are amazing to pop it

[@FlyingFox86]

Took me a good long time as well, though not 7 hours I think.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

5:12 Flame Skewer is not in Shadow Keep. It's from an NPC Invader in a church South East of Shadow Keep. Also, have you never watched a medieval film or TV series? Milady is clearly "Mill-A-D", not "My-Lady" (even though that's exactly what it means). 😂 Lastly, you can't really melee some of the Furnace Golems, because they have armor around their legs and cannot be toppled and the pot throwing isn't optional, it's mandatory. Also, after you do your one and only critical attack on the ones you can melee, you can instantly finish them off by throwing a furnace pot into them before they get up.

shoutout to the carian thrusting shield as well - simple magic infusion and it does high damage at 0 risk. wont come close to the perfume or others but it feels like the block is somewhat bugged and the damage reduction is absurd. against some bosses and almost all trash its just broken even on high ng+, also super fun with the new cracked tear

[@Mio--]

Does the altered heavy attack on braggarts roar needs to be fully charged in order for the 2-3x status that u talked about to trigger? Cuz the normal unaltered heavy atk of it has a special property that builds bleed really quickly thats separate to the initial heavy atk. Just tested it with uncharged heavy atk with both the default and altered and the uncharged default is bleeding every hit while the altered only bleeds every 2 hits (tested it on the omen on the leyndell sewer). Cannot test the fully charged heavy as both of the default and altered fully charged heavy bleeds every hit and the omens die really quick, so only reference that I have is that uncharged default heavy bleeds every hit while uncharged altered heavy requires 2 hits to bleed.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

I believe on roars it has to be fully charged. I’m also doing a highlight for the weapon with more builds coming out soon! 🤘

[@JUDPT]

Nice! Yeah I’m really enjoying the barbed spear 🤘

[@Oldskoolraver-OG]

@TheKingofRedLightning you should look at the igons greatbow , so I've smashed most bosses finishing my run tonight on ng4 with it, the skill is op and with the new talismans for bow it hits really hard on flesh I killed Astel with 4 headshots fully buffed up. Just before I logged of I realised u can remove igons skill and put it on any other bow so not sure if there's a higher damge bow in game it be better on. Nobody seems talk about the bows in this game . Shame

What was that spell that pressed the enemy down?

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Margit’s shackle, it’s an item. Mohg has one too.

[@werneto8598]

Thanks! I have never seen it 😮

[@Flamingoos3]

Great video as always ! Could you make a build around the Euporia twinblade ? Do you think it's a good weapon ?

[@AverageGamerMatt]

I’ll look into it! 🤘 haven’t tried it yet lol lots to get to.

[@JUDPT]

Does the Misericorde perform well for the Furnace Golems during a critical?

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Haven’t tried it but very likely it does. Add the dagger talisman too.

[@JUDPT]

Wondering if you can kill with 1 stagger that way

[@xXxAiM3RxXx]

how do i get the heavy beast claws… i cant use it with the savage claws ash of war… i can only use certain ashes as heavy ones. Please help

[@AverageGamerMatt]

You need the whetblade for it. Stormveil castle.

[@xXxAiM3RxXx]

@@AverageGamerMatt but i have every whetblade in my inventory... i cant apply it :(

[@BookkeeperGaming]

Beast claws get a B scaling with occult affinity. That is what I have been using. Kinda ridiculous how fast they are and the hyper armor from the ash of war. Love the vids and the build ideas.

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Thank you! 🙏 and yep but an A in heavy is solid. They can hit 500 AR if you have 80 strength.

[@BookkeeperGaming]

@@AverageGamerMatt I was using bloodflame blade early in the DLC but switched to an arcane build, bc the bosses are aggressive and have high hp. Reapplying blood flame mid battle was a pain. Also got the extra benefit of higher discovery and use dragon spells.

[@Gwayneeee]

Bloodfiend arm is nuts.. but have you tried the lightning perfume bottle? 40K 😭🔥

[@AverageGamerMatt]

Haha I will soon! 🤘

[@Gwayneeee]

@@AverageGamerMatt it’s insane when you stack buffs/talismans with that one bottle, I tested it on fire giant Ng++, dude had no chance lol
