If Maliketh can stagger, Maliketh can die(Cheese)

I used this ash of war during my entire first playthrough and beat Maliketh on my very first try with it lmao

Why do you play on ez mode it’s not fun

@@Mystic3D424 why do you gatekeep and criticize others people single player setups its not cool

[@Zigeuninja]

@@Mystic3D424 It was my first playthrough and I happened to find it on my own. I wasnt using any guide on how to make an OP build or anything. Also I beat the game a second time without using any summons or OP ashes of war and I beat Maliketh, Malenia etc. all solo...

I love the irony of the elden ring community being like “Oh Elden Ring is such a vast game and allows for so much creativity and freedom to do whatever you like!” and then the moment you use something like this they’re like “NOoo!! sToPp! YOu ARenT SuPpoSEd tO PlAY ThE GaamE ThaT WAy! PLay tHE GAmE hOw I pLAYEd iT!”

Lmao good to see I'm not the only one abusing the poise damage on this ash. I made a twinblade build for my third character and wow the weapon starts to suck after a while. This made it OP

[@SSSmokeStyle]

Have you tried power stancing bleed twinblades? It's quite potent

[@edohanma]

@@SSSmokeStyle I've been thinking about it - I tried to do the same thing but with frost but the scaling wasn't inline with my build. I did try the powerstance moveset and the jumping attack has a ton of hits so yeah I can imagine it'll proc ridiculously fast. I'll try it out when I have some free time 🤞

[@mitosis9678]

I know nothing about meta, but I've did dual wielding bleed twinblades and it's worked insanely well for me. I didn't look up any guides or anything because I wanted to experiment and find what worked for me without knowing anything on my first playthrough, but even after looking at all these insane builds on youtube it's still really strong imo. You just spam jump L1 attack and it applies so much blood it's just gross and you melt bosses so fast.

You make it look easy

It is incredibly easy with this ash of war

[@MsBastard91]

@@yordo9593 or maybe it's just because of two boss stage. Two stage = two enemy instead of one, and game need to deal dmg to both from your every successfully hit to make sure they have exact same HP when stage switches.

[@ToastieMcMuffin]

spamming a skill art to chain stun a boss into a very damaging riposte due to immense amount of poise damage is a little bit cheesey i would say

[@gabrielcassaro3965]

can you leave your build here?

[@SSSmokeStyle]

Flame of the redmanes on misericorde. Works better with str with fire scaling or faith with flame scaling. Items are dagger talisman, red and blue assassin knifes and red scorpion charm. This character was dex so it was nowhere near as much damage as it could have been
