It’s crazy how the dismounter is such a middle of the road weapon in PvE, but an absolute beast in PvP. The running attacks have some of the best phantom range in the game.

[@jeremyroy95]

I have the tornado ash of war and make it do bleed damage with my blood build and its awesome.

[@RemingtonSteel]

Those skeleton summons are actually really goos since when they lose their health they keep respawning unless killed by Holy or hit while on the ground which isnt that often

[@boundedscythe7726]

That's why I use the skeleton bandit for most enemies early game.

[@thomashooper2451]

Are we playing different games? I gave up on the skeletons after so many enemies killed them with their big, sweeping, ground-scraping attacks when they were trying to regenerate. Their revival gimmick doesn't hold up its end of the bargain.

[@Zanemob]

@@thomashooper2451Its not consistent unless you are aggressive constantly pulling agro from the boss then healing while the skeletons are attacking.

[@michaelboyle7281]

I feel like I got very unlikely every time I tried using them. The boss would just kill them the purposely hit them while on the ground so they wouldn't respawn lol

[@zeldamaster52]

I actually did use the Dismounter for a bit on my first run before getting the Knight's Greatsword from a Godrick soldier at some point. It's decent for early game, but Bloodhound's Fang exists, so it has no purpose in most runs.

Omg.... it DOES sound like it is a magic stat😂😂

[@Monkeylighthouse]

Yea that’s pretty much a fromsoft right of passage, everyone gets confused unless they did research beforehand

[@urtoryu_dy_althraidn]

My first game was DS3, and I still remember my version of stupid confusion: I didn't realize Estus recovered at bonfires until after the first boss, so I refused to heal even once against him. Which when you consider that the DS3 tutorial boss is the hardest in the franchise... Well, wasn't the most fun part of the game.

[@paulkahlke2291]

Me too!

[@MsMoonDragoon]

But my young warrior, the wise know that it IS a magic stat!

[@pointofthestag5369]

Something i realised playing elden ring is that weapons dont matter, you can beat the game with any weapon thats been leveld even a bit as long as u can dodge.

[@backslash4141]

Well, that and weapons arts (ashes of war) are so strong in this game that the weapon itself often literally doesn't matter the AoW does instead.

[@Monkeylighthouse]

@@backslash4141eh not really, unless your entire build is based around an ash of war that’s not really a defining characteristic that determines if a weapon is good or not. Well in pvp at least, in pve there’s a lot more room for ashes to be op but from soft has nerfed most of the big ones so it’s still not really an issue, plus it’s pve and nobody should care what you use

[@pointofthestag5369]

@backslash4141 true, my first ppay through I used the lordsworn great sword with bloody slash. Very mid weapon but good Aow and it slapped

[@backslash4141]

@pointofthestag5369 Yeah, that was basically what I used, eventually changing to the zweihander since it also had innate bleed all the way to then end of the game

[@Loctorak]

Pretty much. But when you think about it, that's a smart development decision on fromsofts part to de-emphasise significance of weapon type and to make sure any and all of them are theoretically viable. How many games do you know that have a library of like, 50+ weapons but realistically the meta is maybe 4 or 5 of them are considered viable and the rest are actually useless? Heaps. But fromsoft games usually you can actually legitimately run any weapon and still stand a chance, and I think that helps them greatly in terms of replayability.

[@Luizh26]

I actually use the soap, it cleans your armor when you roll on poison or scarlet rot swamps. So the status of poison stops rising.

[@Loctorak]

Yesss fellow soap associate! As-soap-ciate, if you will. 🧼😎🧼

[@FoxinYT-qr5lz]

So I did the math, there are around 20,5 million copies of elden ring sold, divided by the number of weapons, equals to a 1% chance that these weapons haven’t been used

[@yackouille5287]

bro your math are TRASH because thats the dumbest way to do it nobody is going to equally play for example river of blood and one of these random shitty weapon + it also depends on the build and everything you cant just "divide" the number of weapon by the number of player also because 1 player can use multiple weapons

[@Loctorak]

Contrary to reality, I actually do use soap a fair bit in ER - for anyone that hasnt worked out what it does, it just cleans you (shocker, I know) but I've found it's come in handy many times to help me conserve boluses. Sometimes you'll be poisoned or afflicted with rot, for example, and you use a bolus but after if clears the bar the build-up is so significant that you end up needing to use a second bolus because you either get re poisoned or it's so close that you may as well. But if you have soap handy and use it after you exit the suspicious liquid, it halts any further build-up meaning you only ever need at most 1 bolus to clear your affliction. Plus it's so cheap and easy to make, I always make sure I have some on hand.

[@Hooze-rr3en]

Too bad soap is worthless in life 😔

[@draconesetmagicae9]

Executioner's Greataxe, mathematically, has the highest crit attacks in the game, due to it's very high base damage, the great axe crit multiplier, and it's 115 crit bonus

Incorrect, it's the second best. Misericord still does more damage in most builds thanks to daggers having a much better motion value for them. Executioner's Greataxe DOES out damage it on strength builds though, but it's not by much.
