FROM's strategy for balance in this game: If everything is OP, nothing is.

[@ET1t0]

As it should be, truth be told.

[@Obrisevac]

Except this weapon is actually broken, unless you just have better spacing (and it's a spear so that's unlikely)

[@TSE_WOODY]

The MW2 method

[@djrocuall]

@@Obrisevac no what’s broken is the instant death build people are running. you can’t do anything but run against those people and wait for the fire to run out, and if they have the shield that shoots magic at you, it’s gg and there will be no re.

[@deepism]

Honestly it really works

[@Pepepper]

Frenzy is the perfect build to pair with Oroboro's infectious maniacal laughter. You can feel the Three Fingers' will flowing through him.

[@DMBlade4]

The Three Fingers are inside him for sure. I can hear it too

The screams are absolutely horrifying, especially when madness triggers. But, the realistic screams are amazing!

[@fartloudYT]

thought you were talking about oroboro there

[@mimimalloc]

madness being aligned with fire is great because it means double the screams

[@arandomguy6516]

I’d say oro’s laughs are scarier sometimes

[@Dahnyulll]

jund: this weapon is literally broken. no one should be using it until its fixed. oro: VYKE'S INVASIONS

[@Katzekaze]

usually, as it happened in the past, in order to be fixed, it needs to to become so toxic that FROM will surely notice.

[@jacksonmanitoulinisland]

I think FROM should patch absolutely nothing, I love the OP builds and crazy stuff in this game

[@davidchaput5484]

There about 20 different 'broken' weapon so if we followed those kind of advise there be so much weapon, ash of war, spell and usable items we wouldnt use.

[@Dahnyulll]

@@davidchaput5484 vyke's is broken in a "doesnt even follow the rules of the game" way. it ignores your s.

[@somechinesedude5466]

@@Dahnyulll meaning you can't dodge status build up, like how bleed also work to? Madness work as both paralysis & damage boost

I'm still baffled by the sheir size of that game. So many weapons and armors. I'm in heaven right now. Totally addicted

[@BillSkarsgardRuinedMyLife]

Bro the maniacal laugh after every poor soul he slaughters is great

The frenzied screams of a dragons breath spammer is the sweetest reward we invaders could get

[@westonflame9702]

There’s so many awesome weapons in this game. So much fun to be had doing dumb stuff.

[@TSE_WOODY]

Fr, thinking of playing a straight up faith dex build next and just using all the crazy incantations in pvp, so much fun

[@dontnerfmebro8052]

Started out trying the draco spells, ended up using FoF a lot. Started getting madness procs in pvp and got addicted. Remembered i had this spear. Its a little tricky, still experimenting, but by god what fun.

[@spicketspaghet7773]

What's tricky about it? Spam r1 next to opponent. This spear doesn't require you get any actual hits in. Literally spam r1 braindead playstyle for free madness proc.

[@blackbat908]

@@spicketspaghet7773 so mad,

[@emberofhope7786]

I really like that in this game a lot of ashes of war and spells have an “AOE” type effect to them. It makes pvp builds a lot more diverse since you’re going against multiple people 90% of the time. I just wish they had a covenant system to reward invaders and blues alike.

[@GrinNBarrett134]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how badass the maddness status is this game is absolutely dope as hell!

[@thebigenchilada678]

It’s really cool, I just wish it had a use outside of pvp.

[@mduckernz]

@@thebigenchilada678 It's great in PvE too tbh but situational. If you aren't in an area with many humanoid enemies then yeah it's less good

[@acehughj4527]

@@thebigenchilada678 luckily the frenzy flame is absolutely godlike in PvE. Don't really need much else as far as offensive spells go. High damage, massive stagger, relatively fast, good aoe, very low FP cost.

@@mduckernz i havent tried but does it work on humanoid bosses? tree sentinel, crucible knights, etc?

[@thebigenchilada678]

@@acehughj4527 the spells themselves are aces, i’m just saying that it’d be nice if the madness proc had an effect on more than just the Human enemies.

[@RaiuShinohana]

I can't wait for Oro to find the Eclipse Shotel. Picture exactly this, but with the instant death debuff. HAHAHA

[@AnAverageBox]

Holy shit

[@Kyle-hv8ed]

that weapon has an exploit too, literally cheating

[@RaiuShinohana]

@@Kyle-hv8ed I know about the exploit and refuse to use that bugged incantation whatsoever on principle. You can still use the shotel and it's ashes of war to build up the effect the old fashioned way.

[@FitzFingers]

From what I’ve heard, the eclipse shotel isn’t that great. Even though applying death blight sounds powerful, it builds up so slowly that chances are that your opponent will just die from taking damage rather than the debuff.

[@damedashn2139]

Sprinting poke attacks are so strong in this game. I’ve been running the giant Katana and bloodhounds step and it’s actually kind of broken how strong it is

[@hollowtripz5403]

Everything is strong in this game

[@Oroboro]

MADNESS

[@jarrarwinks8470]

MAIDENLESS!!

[@C-R-l-M-S-O-N]

It feels like they didn't even attempt to balance anything for pvp in this game, madness is busted imo

[@somechinesedude5466]

Considering the amount of BS boss we got, please no nerf any of this shenanigans

[@leiderhosen7110]

It's bugged. Simply disengaging to let the frenzy lower WOULD counter it, but their poor netcode causes it to build Frenzy through Iframes, which makes that basically not possible.

[@gale1841]

@@leiderhosen7110 not a bug nor poor netcode. That's simply how ailments have worked in all Souls games, they're just stronger in ER

[@Fox_Olive]

@@gale1841 just becaues its worked like that always doesnt mean it still isnt a bug or bad netcode. ailments from enemies dont work like that. it only works like that because of the weird pvp netcode.

[@imavya]

@@gale1841 they always worked in the wrong way as status effects arent supposed to build up It u roll em, but with build, poison n frostibite atleast u can roll the proc to counter it. U cant counter the proc of this status effect which makes it totally broken. It kills u if ure doin the right thing.

[@elpollodiablo3259]

That last invasion was priceless

[@discoalice]

The timing of you killing the host and the phantom scratching his head haha 7:36

[@iverdaza4221]

What i really love from these videos is oroboro hunting the cowards and killing the summons before the host. i can't imagine their despair running from him hahahah

[@Ev1lMAL]

I love this weapon! Since I found it I quickly saw myself in Bloodborne with the bloodletter build so I HAD to try this spear in pvp and MAN its nasty and its even nastier paired with an other spear on your off-hand for crazy dual-wield dmg! Its so powerful

[@GBRT23]

Dude this video is amazing, it even ends with a this is sparta scene lol

[@Effect-Without-Cause]

Oro turned into an actual Dark Souls npc with that laugh at the end

[@ebonslayer3321]

If you heard him a few years ago his laugh made him sound like the voice actor for Dark Souls mimics.

[@alastor8091]

He proc'd Frenzy.

[@sinfulgraywolfps4193]

Soooooo glad to see new invasion content in a from soft game, having so much fun in elden ring myself

[@cheche2858]

The only weapon I run invasions with so much fun!

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I'm amazed by how many non moonveil's you ran into. I only did 15 or so invasions but at least 80% of people I found were using that and blasted me for 700 damage if they ever hit me. Also lots of the lightning auto target spell from multiple people.

[@eligoodwin6900]

I feel like he's fighting lower level peeps that haven't got moonveil yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong

[@jebus4261]

You can get the spear extremely early by climbing up some rocks that shouldn’t be claimable

[@brussy1]

you laughing at everyone while they run or scream makes this entire video pure gold.

[@C00kie137]

How they die holding their face with embers sprouting out, IS DOPE AF.

[@berial667]

this looks fun as hell dude! What level are you in these invasions? and whats the upgrade level on your weapons?

lol Chase revealed that you can roll and backstab Vyke's Weapon Art if you're in melee range when they start up the WA

[@matthewhughes1950]

yeah the instant hyper armor is not ok most of the other WA dcont have that. needs to bedialed back. maybe HA when they're landing but not before.

Most folks really do underestimate the status effects in the game.... until you get hit by one and realized they are just as nasty to deal with

The roughest part is that all of them stagger on proc. Madness has a full stun, but all of them stop you from rolling, guaranteeing a follow-up hit.
