Prince of Death staff is amazing in that hybrid build because it’s… the only real option.

[@Zinras]

Bonus protip for Ranni's Dark Moon: This is also a cold spell, meaning that equipping Ranni's hat boosts it even further. It also has the base enemy resistance reduction of Rennala's but with the added bonus of being able to trigger Frostbite pretty quickly for another big debuff. You'll probably want to KAMEHAMEHA in solo play but if you're playing as a summon, a double boosted resistance-reducing homing nuke is *super* helpful. Your host will love you because this also works with terrible ping/connections. Be a homie and use homing spells in co-op.

[@FelisImpurrator]

Wait, Dark Moon double dips for sure? That's hilarious. I wish Rennala's actually did more, considering the 2 Int higher requirement.

[@cybunny25]

Edit: I read the comment wrong but the following is still good info if you're wondering if an equipment bonus works with a specific skill/spell. Original comment: I've seen posts on reddit about this. Someone even compiled a list of which equipment buffs affect which magic attack. I'd link it but I think links usually get comments deleted (depends on the youtuber though) But anyway, Ranni's Snow Witch Hat does not buff the Dark Moon Greatsword's *skill* as the wording on the description of the hat says "Cold *sorceries*" Sorceries != Skills Sorceries != Incantations too so the Terra Magicus doesn't buff the spells you cast with Sacred Seals

[@Zinras]

@@cybunny25 There's a spell called Ranni's Dark Moon, that's what we're talking about. It's a massively upgraded Rennala's Moon that's also cold and applies frostbite, yet somehow requires slightly less INT to cast.

[@xibalbadelarosa6043]

You can always use the Infinite FP teardrop so you won't have to worry about running out of mana when buffing up to one shot a boss. Simple set up could be Scepter and Lusat staff equipped, use Mixed Physik flask + Terra Magica + Rannis Full moon for extra damage negation or just straight up Comet Azur after Terra and you should be able to one obliterate anything in your way

[@hexmech1893]

Hitting them with it is the challenge. Comet Azur is easily evaded if: 1. The enemy isn't staggered 2. They are out of optimum range 3. They hit you before you can cast it The devs made sure most bosses have enough agility to stuff your ass with their weapons. Long Cast attacks take timing and setup to land them in the relatively short window you get to hurt the boss. Without summons to distract the boss, you won't even get the chance to hit them. Crystal Torrent mitigates this with its shotgun cone attack but its lower DPS means you won't down the boss all the time. However, Unlimited FP Works are amazing with a mass barrage of homing attacks as they make the BS dodge rate of enemies pointless.

[@wigglyjiggly4498]

From what I'm aware of, Dark Moon does not boost damage by 30%, it reduces the enemies magic resistance by 30%, not the same thing. So If they resisted 20% magic damage, they now resist 30% less than 20%, not -10%, but instead they get debuffed to 14% resistance. So you'd be doing 6% more with subsequent attacks. The upside here is if you proc frostbite which further increases subsequent damage taken.

[@Mimsism]

In fact, the spell in itself only reduce 10% of magic negation. If the frosbite proc (which reduce 20% of all damages negation), the yes it's a ~30% magic negation and 20% damage negation, but that's only if.

Fun fact: Staves passives are active regardless if they are casting their spells so when going for a burst phase with the Infinite FP flask it’s worthwhile to dual wield the Azur Staff with whatever your damage staff is for the extra cast speed for the phase.

This only seems to work with certain staffs, the meteorite staff buff worked from offhand using carians to cast for me but lusats and azurs did not for example. I believe that the spell type buff staffs work for this, but the flat stat boost staffs (damage or cast speed) do not. I could not get azurs or lusats to work like meteorite did

[@adangerousnoodle]

@@nox_luna Works for me, seems to be about a 30% damage increase on both collapsing star and rock sling. Edit: Just tested to confirm.

Thank you for this video! I’m doing a dex/ int character. So I’m casting spell’s with Lusat’s and Demi-human staff on my left hand and using moonveil katana on my right hand.

Cool build, I recommend Loretta's War Sickle once you can get it. I do a sword spells-oriented build and it's been far and away my favorite assist weapon for poking, mixups, and the weapon art hits like a truck. Maybe not as much as moonveil though lol

[@talesoffallenangels]

There is another thing to take into account. You can dual wield staves. If you mostly use gravity spells, you can have meteorite staff in the offhand and cast with lusat, and the spell will still get the meteorite staff buff. This applies to ALL staves that boost a specific type of sorcery. You don't need to cast with it to get the boost, just have it in the hands when you cast. So you actually need 3-5 staves to maximum damage. Lusat and carian scepter in one hand, and the one to three staves that boost your most used spells in the other.

[@kelbihunter6042]

Aww. Please look into the Regal Scepter's weapon skill. Normally this ash of war is garbage, but the "weapon spin" on the Carrian Regal staff is a unique version of the ash that scales with sorc scalling, and is absolutely broken. It's my favorite skill in the game. It does crazy damage and can stunlock almost anything even players in pvp. I pretty much stopped needed a close range weapon after leveling this staff up. Stunlocking all the cleanrot Knights in haligtree and getting to the end easily at level 80 with this staff is pretty funny. Killing someone in pvp who rushes you with a single weapon spin? So funny.

[@SifArtorias]

I haven't once used the weapon art in a combat based capacity. I might need to look into this more lol

Thanks for the tip. I had pretty much written it off as just a flavor thing, since habit is to wallop something that gets near me with my sword, rather than use the spin.

I always have it on my offhand so my main hand can use other weapon and get their WA by pressing L2, for example Resolve. It feel better to hit with those weapon as well.

Something I feel should be added here: offhand cast speed boosts apply no matter which staff you're using. Using the azure staff, not even upgraded, in your offhand will still increase your artificial dexterity and boost your cast speed significantly.

[@arcanumelite4853]

yes but it still adds the +25% fp cost.. so if your also using lusats thats a total of +75% fp cost.

Lusat's buff and cost also both apply when equipped even if it isn't the staff used for casting.

@@SoI_Badguy i hope someone tests this

[@rVox-Dei]

Rennala's full moon also debuffs the enemy, but the point of taking ranni's version is to apply frostbite and buff it using the snow witch set. And frostbite applies a damage bonus to your enemy so even with both applying the defense debuff, rannis will be better, if not a little mana inefficient

[@tobiookuma1835]

Fair thing to note, if you have a staff in your off hand, its buff still applies to your main hand. IE, rock sling does more damage with the Lusat's staff if you're holding a meteorite staff in the other hand. So while you're clearing levels, you probably want to have the staff, but keep it put away, otherwise you'll still take more mana costs. Though, that stacking damage is insane if you do lunar sorcery with lusat's staff. It slaps so hard.

[@graciaman]

The Spinning Weapon on the Renalla staff is actually incredible and not a drawback. It’s not the same as the ash of war you can find. It does massive magic damage, has huge stagger, and extends outward like the one Renalla uses against you. You ought to try it out. It’s amazing in a pinch to get a melee enemy off of you.

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

Late here, but one extremely minor thing that is worth noting is that different staves have different scaling ranges department on different intelligence and faith scores. It's not just flat progression. For example, the Demi-Human Scepter has the best intelligence scaling among upgraded staves* until 41 intelligence or so, at which point the Academy Staff starts to outpace it; and the Carian Scepter actually takes quite a few more levels beyond it's minimum requirement before it surpasses the Academy Staff, at similar upgrade levels. And the Prince of Death staff is actually surpassed by the Gelmir Magma staff until 40-something Intelligence and Faith (though that staff is only a rare drop from the sorcerer lizard right before the portal to Rykard, so technically harder to get than the Prince's staff). Josh's advice here is mostly for pure magic casters going big. For hybrid builds or lower level characters, there's still much more to consider. *The meteorite staff is surpassed by regular upgrade paths by the 12 to 16 point, by somber upgrade paths by 6 or so.

[@endlessabyss3135]

Just something to note, the mana cost for lusat’s while fine for lower costing spells, is crippling for high mana spells that already need a lot and with lusat’s cost ridiculous amount with based on my experience, especially for comet azure which even with 60 mind, it can barely be held for a few moments while with the carina regal it can be held for seconds without stopping.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

You just use it with the no FP use flask anyway so it makes no difference

[@FelisImpurrator]

Lusat's is for the crystal tear setup, after which you go back to Carian, or in the ultra postgame the PoD staff.

[@lunariangoddess1206]

If you want to use the big spells out of major enemies fights you can wear the primal glintstone blade which lowers fp cost and hp. For the big spells it brings it down a lot. Comet azur with luset staff is 60 but 40 normally and with the charm it’s 45 with lusets staff

[@t0uchme343]

With primal glintstone I didn't have that much fp trouble spamming (relatively speaking) loretta's mastery or using azur comet without the fp tear.

[@RisenRen]

Comet Azur is a garbage spell once the infinite fp flask has worn off anyways. I have 35 Mind and no issues using Lusat’s as my only staff. My flask is +12 and fully fills my fp bar from 0 and there’s a really powerful Talisman that lowers fp cost and your maximum hp which helps neutralize the fp increase from Lusat’s to nearly nonexistence.

[@WallahNein]

5:30 It's so funny to me that I found that staff and currently use it, but never realized that it has 50% more mana usage, I just shoot pebbles when I'm far away and hoarfrost stomp when I'm close. They just can't handle the cheese.

Only at like 68-70 intelligence does it start outperforming other staves. For hybrid builds that don’t go further than 50 or 60, it’s actually worse than the Academy Glintstone Staff. The Carian Regal Scepter relies heavily on that super duper S scaling.

Only hard cap of 80. Sorcery users are highly encouraged to push for 80 in a stat Scaling breakpoints work as follows for the mentioned staves: 0 - 25 - good value per stat point (1% potential gain) 25 - 62 - slightly better value per stat point (1.1% potential gain) 62 - 80 - great value per stat point (1.5% potential gain) 80 - 99 - very poor value per stat point (0.25% potential gain) Source: libredd.it/r/Eldenring/comments/tc3lyy/helpful_charts_for_offensive_stat_scaling/

You can hold two staffs and they will combine their boosts when applicable. If you use Lusat's staff in one hand and another staff with a specific boost in another hand, you can cast with lusat's staff (or the prince of death's staff if you are using that) and the boost from the other staff will apply to the cast. EG: WIth meteorite staff in your off hand, and lusat's staff in your main hand (or vice versa) you will do more damage than using either staff alone. So... if you use the Carian regal staff and lusat's staff it will make the dark moon spell do even more damage.

[@sickboikoko]

Tip for anyone watching, if you already spent rennalas remembrance on the moon spell before duplication you can just get the crystals staff +10 & use that to knock enemies out the way just as effectively as the regal also you can get again in new game plus or new game in general so don’t feel like you took a big L lol

@@amethonys2798 This. You can put the extra 70 levels somewhere else and get much greater benefits. And even if you just want to use the sword of night and flame, you can just put 45 (if your base is 10) on faith, so you can have another 25 points on another stat. The only reason why you would want 80-80 faith/int is because you want to cast both spells and incantations at the soft cap for each.

One clarification for anybody unfamiliar: a hard cap is something you cannot go above. 99 is the hard cap in Elden Ring. 80 is the soft cap - diminishing returns crush the gains for each point after 80 making it not worth putting more points into. Those 19 points from 81-99 would be more useful somewhere else.

[@brianthebroken]

Totally agree! Carian Regal and Lusat's are definitely the best two. I did discover something which I hope others can confirm or debunk: The staff on your off-hand transfers its bonus to the staff on your main hand. So a meteorite staff on your left will buff gravity sorceries cast on your right-hand staff. HOWEVER, if you have the Lusat's on your left and the Carian Regal on your right, you will find that the 50% extra FP from Lusat's applies WITHOUT any 8% sorcery buff boosting the spells cast with your right-hand staff. So basically, never have the Lusat's in your off-hand when you cast a spell with your main hand staff.

[@akumafuhen]

Definitely useful 👌 but as a battlemage running a moonlight greatsword I found the Azurs staff just meshes with my look the best. I do feel the speed increase enough to justify it as well, I could run that talisman instead for extra cast speed buuut I find the fp talisman with both speed/extra stamina talismans better fit for me. Plus the extra sorcery potency talisman adds enough to have my spells hit hard enough. But forsure if I was 100% caster then I would go with what the video says.

[@skyacaniadev2229]

For battle mage, Regal scepter is the best I think. You just cast a moon spell then a terra magnus thing then switch to your sword of night and flame/moonveil/hoarfrost weapon and spam those skills and nuke the boss with very little fp cost

As appealing as it is, all of the death spells are very underwhelming. Rancorcall is ok, but its double the cost of pebble for less damage. The bonus is “better” tracking, but it also hits walls a lot more and travels much slower. The ancient death rancor costs even more and does around the same damage unless fully charged. Ghostflame explosion is ok. Overall, these spells with something like helphen’s steeple or death’s poker look cool, but don’t expect anything too practical.

The regal carian is a really good staff as Lusats uses 50% more fp and the prince of death needs faith, the weapon art is pretty good for helping you put distance between yourself and an enemy, and having the stone or blade staff in the offhand makes it so the buff to the sorcery is applied.

Could someone clarify about the damage status of a weapon? I have a moonveil katana and it scales with dexterity and intelligence. Is intelligence applied to physical damage as well?

[@burneraccounthandle]

sum

[@nokturnallex2160]

So when a weapon does 2 different damage types, like Physical and Magical, it's scaling "can", but not always be effected by different stats. Like with lots of Dex + Int weapons, higher dex increases the physical damage it does while higher INT increases the magical damage it deals. Then you also have to consider different enemies have different resistances, so while one boss might be weak to physical, another might be weak to magic. Then one boss could even be strong against both physical and magic, so you better have a backup plan. (The ability to deal fire or holy when needed) When looking at a weapon that deals 2 different types of damage, you can see how your own stats are boosting it's dmg right in the detail window. The number after the + sign is how much your own stats are boosting the weapons base dmg. You can just equip like a +dex or +int Talisman to see how much the difference is and how much dmg each point of the stat is giving you. Keep in mind though, the higher level you upgrade a weapon to, the better scaling it gets, so the damage it gets per stat point will increase as well.

@@joaov2374 Yep, also keep in mind there's multiple ways to enchant weapons, but certain weapons can't be enchanted. General rule is if you can't change the art of war on it you can't change the type of damage it deals, but there are exceptions, like the Treespear deals Holy + Physical damage, but can also be enchanted to deal only Holy damage via it's Art of War or you could also enchant it with consumables + spells to change it to a different damage type of your choosing. When you're using a weapon whose art of War can change, having different Whetstone Knives (you'll find them during the game) allows you to also change the way it scales and change it to deal a different damage type, like Fire, Holy, or Magic. So while Moonveil can't change it's damage type, you could also use any of the regular Katanas as a backup weapon that you could replace the Art of War anytime you want and also enchant them to deal the damage type of your choosing, like having a 2ndary Katana do Fire damage to kill enemies weak to fire easier.

[@grabyourlantern]

So this is for not only other players, but for RageGaming as well. You can equip a staff in each hand and benefit from both. I killed Malenia with Rock Sling. Yes, I did. Just Rock Sling. However, I had Lusat in the left hand and casted from there to gain the higher damage at higher FP cost, but when you have Meteorite Staff in your right hand you get the "increases damage to Gravity spells" effect. I killed 90% of bosses with Rock Sling, including Margit at lvl 14 and Godrick at lvl 19. The big aspect to Rocks is that they stun really easily. 3 to 4 hits (must hit with all 3 rocks per cast) to get this to work but it's good. Most stun animations are long so you can drink a potion to recover FP and keep slinging before the enemy can really respond. If you're using Mimic, they can sling as well but will often go through all the memorized spells in a random order. Give them quick cast spells and what this does is have the bosses trade off attention between you and the Mimic so frequently that neither of you gets hurt that much. If you don't want to do Sling and prefer other spells, use a staff for that style of spells. If you want to juice up Azur, then you cast from Lusat and you put Carian Regal in your right hand to stack the scaling. Killed Mogh in 8 seconds at lvl 90 or so. Fun stuff.

Azur's may be negligable in speed for normal play. However, for PvP pumping your damage doesn't make too much of a difference Player HP bars aren't that high for it to matter. Lusat's consumption will not only give your opponents more frequent opportunities to close the gap when you flask, but also running out of FP as a mage in PvP is not a good time. But although Azur's also has increased consumption it does offer you the ability to out cast other casters not taking it. I've had several opponents jousting back and forth with spells and I was able to consistently interupt their Star Ruin with swift. But they were not able to do the same to me.
