Elden Ring SCYTHES Are BROKEN... (NOT CLICKBAIT)

[@Hauri1972]

On of my favorite playthroughs was a Sister Friede build, with frost mist on one grave scythe, the froststomp on the other grave scythe and some black flame spells to complete the reference to Friede. That was really fun.

[@MisterT.2962]

Similar to my first experience with scythes, I did a Gehrman build with it and quickstep hahaha, was really fun would recommend

[@cerovlogs]

For my first playthrough I did Grave Scythe imbued with Frost and Winged Scythe along with godslayer spells. I did this before even playing ds3 and was happily surprised when I ran into Friede lol

[@darkdrac7012]

Yeah, my first build was also scythe oriented, dual wielding Halo Scythes or one Halo one wing with black flame incantations.

[@cheesy-p1j]

I love that so much people give credit to Sister Friede. One of the best bosses.

[@eluminator04]

my first playthrough of Elden Ring was a faith build where I used the Winged Scythe till Farum Azula, where a friend told me about the blasphemous blade which then replaced it. watching this run just brings back so many memories of my first time exploring the Lands Between, thank you for that

[@theshiningfalcon]

I had a very similar experience to you. I ended up using the winged and halo scythe most of the game, the dual wield jump attack was so good.

[@TheLastVoodooMan]

Yeah I used Winged Scythe until Leyndell and a bit further as well, however I had a dps problem because I spread my stats too far and was too hesitant to use my smithing/somber stones

[@breadboy4712]

this is basically exactly how my first playthrough went hahaha

[@f41l6]

Pretty similar to my first run when I switched from the halo scythe which I had my entire run to the mamas wyrm scalesword when every boss was pretty much immune to holy damage

[@IIAwfulWaffleII]

Same but instead I committed with it and even added the Halo Scythe to dual wield

[@agentwa5h]

I really appreciate that for some of the bosses you did multiple ashes of war, or even no ashes of war to really show the weapons off. I remember some people had issues with the daggers only run cuz they felt it was more "glintblade phalanx only". But this was great!

[@michaelboyle7281]

42:52 An all ash of war run would be super fun to watch. It'd also maybe be cool to try out single ashes of war on multiple weapon types just to see how an ash varies from weapon to weapon. Putting spinning weapon blew me away and made me feel dumb for never trying that. A bit off-topic, but imagine a mod where you could put spinning weapon on fist/claw weapons, but instead of the weapons spinning, your character floats like 3 inches off the ground and spins lol

[@mcbill7352]

I believe dist already did an ashes of war

[@svenvleminckx5590]

I tried putting spinning as of war on the guts sword had some fun with it , not the best to run on but was just for shits&giggles 😂

[@samanthawycoff855]

I'm so excited to see what you ended up doing with scythes! I got the Grave Scythe really early by chance, I fell in love, and I've made it my weapon for the run. I'm in Farum Azula now, so this might help me find ways to improve my build before facing the Godskin Duo.

the double jumping attack auto getting the sweetspot, and the spinning weapon interaction are so great. godkiller flame spinn is one of my fav looks. Try it with the vulgar militia saw as well

[@doop445]

There is a way to increase damage on spinning strikes - unlock from the enemy and spin your character the same direction that the weapon spins and you increase the hits by almost 3x

Most weapons deal high damage with the right build 👌

[@kode-man23]

Yeah with the build variety in this game, the buffs that you can apply, the equip-able ashes of war, and how almost every weapon class has at least one BS representative, yeah almost everything can be broken.

[@skult227]

​@@kode-man23but that's not being 'broken' it's being balanced. The fact that anything can be built to be made good. Just because something is really good doesn't mean it's 'broken', so this term feels very overused.

[@kode-man23]

@@skult227 I just compare the player character to other Souls games. I replayed Bloodborne recently and yeah, most of what you can do in Elden Ring is actually broken. Like, a pretty high percentage of builds can invalidate large portions of this game.

[@mariorivera7969]

You doing twinblades made me switch my main playstyle in my side game in seamless coop. I've been studying the video too and learning to dynamically change ashes of war between bosses for more effectiveness and man its been a blast. I melt the bosses. I've been using your moonblade video to also help my friend optimize his build. I have the distinct impression that the sacred order buff has been patched though since it doesn't seem to increase his damage on the moonblade after switching weapons.

10:14 “should I try and helicopter this guy” -Gino Machino 😂😂😂

[@joshuapatrick682]

my second playthrough was duel wielding the grave scythes and it is easily one of my favorites. I had one set up for bleed and the other for frostbite and had spinning weapon on one and spinning strikes on the other and with multi hit set ups they just annihilated everything. I know you can basically get most weapons to do that in this game in some way but it's honestly ridiculous to chunk 1/3 of Godfrey Loux's health bar.... and the power stance jump attack is just ridiculous as this playthrough demonstrates. Honestly a surprising amount of versatility in them

[@hunterharris1577]

Watched this all on the streams, but gotta watch the vid too cause I’m addicted to Gino vids apparently. Also Hunter is an editing legend

[@polo5760]

Can't wait to see your videos for the dlc

I love how people think that an eclipse is like it is in berserk, just some big dangerous event.

[@Smugtortise123]

Heya Gino, great vid! I love using scythes they are pretty broken!

[@grfrjiglstan]

I love that the Malenia section of the video is way longer than any other section - but for the exact opposite reason you’d expect.

[@adamstevens3661]

37:42 the reason "that bleed came so late" is because of bloodflame blade. All blood flame effects are a different bucket of status than bleed affinity attacks. Bloodflame applies a de buff that applies 40 bleed build up over 2 seconds it stacks with every hit. So bleed proccs will come in delayed after the tics. Unlike straight bleed affinity on weapons that's immediately applied when struck

[@unknownentityenthusiast6765]

My first run was Angel Scythe until farum, where I swapped to Godslayer’s Greatsword. They’re incredible as a weapon class.

[@soesaplug5654]

I’ve just started playing this masterpiece of a game, still on my first play through as a samurai and loving it, definitely gonna try a build like this next run!

[@TurtlePalace]

I really like all of the dragon fights in ER. they follow the conventional progression in games. smarag has another fire attack compared to agheel, ekzykes has rot mist on top of smarags moves, adula has a special sword attack, and borealis is a culmination of all the dragons youve fought. its a little jank if borealis is flying on the cliffs but other than that fantastic fight

[@GodMelon847]

Your editor is hilarious for including "The Sage's Cave Incident"

[@enderkahn1018]

You know what's funny? I've found that one handing the scythe may technically be a bit better because it's actually faster. It's one handed light chain is faster than two handed

[@TheChabob11]

With Gino there is no clickbait

[@dylanmahon2394]

Sword dance IS the melee ash for scythes. Sacred blade or ring of light are only ranged ones (other than good ol lightning bolt). Scythes need more ranged ashes in dlc.
