📜 - - - DESCRIPTION - - - 📜
Elden Ring has a specific branch of armaments that have unique skills, which are skills that can’t be found on ordinary weapons. They can be customized and improved variants of regular skills, such as Endure vs Oath of Vengeance, or they can have support utility like Devourer of Worlds or Taker’s Flames. A few of them even have the sheer impertinence to be a spitting image of a regular skill while going by a completely different name…
These are my least favorite unique skills.

[@Mr._Popo]

Something interesting for the people that don't know is that Destined Death Ash of Wars (Maliketh's Black Blade or Black Knife) stack with the Black Blade incantation for a temporary 20% health reduction, they however do not stack with each other. This means that if you remember to apply them again before the debuff runs out you can effectively fight bosses with 80% of their max health.

[@SevenRedSuns1296]

Tiches debuff also stacks so 85%

Don't forget that Corpse Wax Cutter also displays the black flame particles on the enemy despite the fact that it does destined death damage instead, a totally different effect in gameplay and lore

[@gatchu2246]

You mean it displays destined death when it actually inflicts black flame. Also they're pretty similar in lore, destined death is just black flame but stronger.

[@Joetheknight406]

​@@gatchu2246no, it plays black flames on enemies it hits, instead of the red flames of destined death.

[@gatchu2246]

@@Joetheknight406 Destined death (red and black flames) is the same thing as black flame, but has an additional -10% to the enemy's max HP. The only things in the game capable of inflicting destined death are the black knife, Maliketh's black blade, and the black blade incantation. Gargoyle's Black Blade does NOT inflict destined death. It inflicts black flame, which is why enemies look like they've been hit by black flame (because they have). However, the weapon itself plays a particle effect on hits that looks like destined death, but doesn't actually do anything. Thus, it looks like it does destined death, but actually does black flame.

[@valentai_777]

They’re the same thing💀 Black flame is the empty shell of what Destined Death is. Destined Death = red and black flames Black Flame = white and black. It’s the hollow and weaker varíant lore wise, which is why it’s colorless.

I only got into Elden Ring recently. Sub'd to you after I stumbled across like 3 different videos you had posted with info I was after. Like you said at the end, I now listen to your vid's on my second monitor while I play the game. You've got great content and it's clear and easy to listen to without random loud crap in the background. Love what you're doing.

[@metalurgent]

The reason fires of slumber doesn't do any damage is because it's a sleep weapon, and the lingering fire damage would make whatever it is you're trying to sleep with it immediately wake back up

[@theronfoxfriend8611]

I wish Knowledge Above All would have also let Gideons hammer act as a duel catalyst. It makes sense lore wise since he casts both Sorcery's and Incantations, yet even in game he switches to a staff and catalyst to cast, barely even using his hammer in the first place except to reproc the skill on us.

[@knightgabriel1311]

The only time I’ve seen him actually use his hammer like a hammer is if you catch him while he’s trying to use the skill and interrupt him, then there’s a chance his ai decides to bonk you in the head with it for a little while before going straight back to spamming spells

[@hi-i-am-atan]

i wonder if weapon catalyst functionality even exists in the game. considering how much of its everything is taken directly from the souls series, i'm not sure _why_ it wouldn't be, but the complete omission of any of 'em makes me wonder if it was actively a design decision to not add any and subsequently they weren't concerned with making changes to core systems that make just tossing them in not a particularly simple task. i can find like two mods that modify some weapons into weapon catalysts, but from what i can tell, all they actually do is make them a catalyst with actual r2s i do have to wonder how weapon catalysts would actually _work_ in elden ring. they could replace the heavy as per tradition, but charged heavies are such a major part of the game that giving them up for something that you could just get by off-handing a catalyst does not seem like an great trade. especially considering that the main type of build that would appreciate being able to cast with a weapon are 2h ones that have switching off from 2hing to make use of an offhand catalyst, and those tend to use big weapons that have _big_ 2h charged heavies. the modded ones i found cast with r1 like normal catalysts do, which would make for in-game consistency but also just brings the opposite issue of r2, where it doesn't fit well with quick weapons that really like their r1 chain which tend to be dex weapons and there's your cast speed stat. not to mention, if you powerstance with a weapon catalyst in your offhand, what happens when you press l1? i suppose the simplest answer overall would probably be to just make an weaponskill, which also has the benefit of opening the door to letting the player make _any_ generic weapon into a weapon catalyst via an ash ... but then you lose out on turning gideon's hammer into a weapon catalyst, unless you just totally remove the current skill or i guess turn it into a stance skill or something. seems kinda clunky tho quandary

[@AmbienNocturan]

@@hi-i-am-atan The Elden Ring Reforged mod has proper weapon catalysts that replace the block button. It's fun to play around and it's surprisingly well balanced.

[@michaelboyle7281]

Even if it's not on Gideon's hammer I do hope there is something in the dlc that lets you cast both sorcery and incantation. It's already kind of a pain in the ass to level up both faith and intelligence in the same playthrough so it doesn't seem too unreasonable or OP to put in the game

[@vsGoliath96]

You mean like the Black Witch Staff in Dark Souls 2? The one that let you cast all magic types just using the one staff? Good times, good times.

As a Magma Guillotine enjoyer, it's actually surprising how so many people fall for the follow-up attack from it, and then have their entire HP bar disappear. In PvE its can also do ludicrous damage and knock back enemies with the final ground-chop. Good video, earned a sub.

"nothing good can come from something that only lasts 30 seconds" Tell that to the three gillion people who won't stop using Flame Grant Me Strenght. Personally I found the jellyfish shield to be pretty good on my sorcery build because I casted spells instead of using weapon arts. Plus the fact that it's a greatshield helps because any normal mobs attacking it while blocking will be stunned for a spell. Works really well with melee sorceries like carian slicer.

The REAL #1 Unique Skill is Rusty's unique skill at pumping out quality videos!...I'll see myself out...

[@stiner2829]

Happy new year Rusty!

[@daltonbuffinton7275]

I genuinely love every video you've put out. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@koshergaming3964]

I like the Nebula from the flail because the small motion in the dive forward has been useful in specific PvP scenarios. Keep up the great work, Rusty.

[@nothingman7163]

Amazing work, now rank every weapon ash art for each weapon individually.

[@AdolfSpongler01]

You forgot the dragon halberd, it has a unique lighting frost attack which is pretty damn good

[@matthewmonk2996]

ive watched so many of your ranking videos in the background while ive been playing elden ring but every time i find out something new or cool, keeping going the videos are great and so are the jokes

[@MrTmm97]

Envoys Longhorn is my favorite weapon for any large enemy (dragon, falling star beast, placidiseux). It does insane damage and staggers too. However I recently began using Cranial Candlestand for large enemies I can get under… like normal dragons. It’s kind of nuts the damage the many bullet attacks skills can put out. Especially when there’s a build around them.

[@ishtdeepghuman6768]

Its fun to chuck Albinaurics off the map using Onyx Lord's Repulsion.

[@Rpgdaddy]

Your end comment on this video was spot on. I definitely play your video while working

[@channonfenris6627]

Yes. I found out the hard way when using "knowledge above all" in PvP. I was wondering why I was getting roffle stomped by radagons rings of light and figured out pretty quickly that I shouldn't use that skill at all. Feels good to do extra magic damage though.

[@hugelo2742]

Good god, you put a lot of work in these videos. You bacame one of my favorite youtubers to watch over the past 2 years and when I have time to spare, you are the go to creator for me, bc the way you edit these videos and your commentary is entertaining as hell. I watched the entire weapon ranking video in one go and didn't get bored for a single minute. You just deserve it. Nobody can change my mind abou that. I really hope you had a great year, aside from pumping out these bangers and I'm excited for what's coming, since shadow of the erdtree is creeping up on us.

[@shortandmad3307]

You know I did indeed have this in the background while I was in training of GBFVS. Then I went out and came back home to finish it as I ate some food. Longer videos like these are always nice to have when you're doing mundane task like farming in Warframe, or like I mentioned above, in training in a fighting game. I appreciate these videos you make

[@anothernobody5396]

Rare Warframe mention

[@Jellyfish_crypt]

Happy New Year Rusty

[@DrDank]

Man really thinks we won’t notice the multiple Sly Cooper OSTs throughout the video. We’re all starving for another entry, just because it’s quiet doesn’t mean we won’t notice

[@Urb4nN0rd]

51:20 Rusty, i couldnt care less about which "unique skills" are better than others, I'm here because youre the one ranking them with your awesome sense of humor. Keep making kickass videos man (after a reasonable break, you earned it with the god damn weapon rankings)

[@SilverIV]

This comment deserves more recognition. I feel the exact same way.

[@MakesToast]

I will say this! I can put rusty videos on the background everyday and not get bored! The commentary is amazing, the details ! Even the jokes! Pure perfection

[@masmargat6907]

Brilliant as always, nice one Rusty! 👍🏼

[@ItsVenti]

Got to the end and heard your thank you I personally watch your stuff over the course of a few days and keep returning to it although i did watch the weapons one in one sitting

[@sebastianseaha-bannish9041]

We appreciate you Rusty! Thanks for the time you put into your videos! 51:32

[@BardicGM]

I'm in complete agreement with you on the point that Sacred Phalanx should be stanced, also Happy New year I hope you have a great time with whatever you have planned tomorrow.

[@austin2594]

51:23 I just skipped to the end to see the good shit but ima close off and re watch it on my iPad in the background just cus that sounded so genuine. Good vid bro

[@cannonhemingway1317]

I love your work and your commentary keeps me rewatching every video. We are lucky to have you put in the work you do. Now rank the boss fights. Scaling left to your discretion of course. But hey if you want more homework to go with it you can also test out and rank the AI summons you get for the various boss encounters. I know summoning isn't your thing but I believe the commentary about their performances will be golden.

[@goodkiid543]

Not even gonna lie this is one of the best hidden gem channels I discovered this year . Appreciate your videos and the work you put in man. Keep it up!

[@yourdad5799]

Even if sometimes the opinions are... interesting to say the least

[@flumpdaddy2322]

Been waiting for this one lol. You are officially the KING of Elden Ring rankings

[@tuoodoo514]

I’ve only just found this channel, and okg it’s the perfect channel to play while I’m grinding Elden rage, but with an ear open to be coherent for the video because the content is great

[@thunar9141]

My two favorite things are animating and playing Elden Ring. When I'm doing the former, I love to put on your videos so that I can get better at the latter. You're informative and super entertaining, thanks for all of the effort you put into making these videos.

[@siggy32]

I think it's called "Storm Kick" because the boss you get the weapon from has it as a leg prosthesis, and when he does the move it actually is a kick.

[@vipershock1089]

I have been wondering, after you take a well deserved break, do you think you will rank all of the ruins in elden ring, since you already ranked the caves and the catacombs? Also wish you well rusty, you make mine, as well as many other’s days better, and hope you have a happy new year

[@bestsnowboarderuknow]

Thanks for diving deep in your research. I appreciate it.

[@jordanhamelin9315]

100% was playing something with this on the background. Played the whole video. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@MrTmm97]

51:25 I’ve listened to your almost 3 hour All weapons ranking like 4ish times since it released listing to it in the background while playing Elden Ring….. same goes for the ash of war, sorceries, and incantations rankings. Not only is it helpful as a reminder what is best to use… but you are also hilarious and super entertaining to listen to while I am playing! Never stop doing what you do Rusty…. I’ve been around your channel since Hollowknight’s glory days. I am more than happy to support with as many watch hour as is practical. Thanks for all the information and entertainment over the last few years! You really are brilliant at your job as a content creator.

[@carlrussell8969]

I fell like I'm in a imperfect time loop when i watch these.

[@tytyh]

You should list your background tracks in the description so we can all confirm that yes that was in fact dimitri's theme in an elden ring video. Hearing "LETS DANCE!" in the background was both hilarious and jarring as hell lmao

[@jackeskins4658]

Love these vids keep up the good work!!

[@lm7677]

Why do you keep doing this to yourself?

[@blek_612]

The dedication from this man is incredible, get some rest Rusty

[@EclipzSolos]

51:25 literally what if been doing lol. I appreciate the time you take to make these videos👍👍

[@RosePhantoma]

i absolutely run your videos in the bg between phone calls while im working at home. i don't even play elden ring (yet) but your brand of humor has always been entertaining for me, so i like giving you the watch time ❤

[@brennonruss5919]

Nah I love the winged scythe and it’s special attack, it pretty much carried my ass through 3/4 of the game before ultimately switching to godslayer sword for more damage towards the end of the game. My favorite ways to use it was to either get up in ppls face and hit it, staggering them then Going in for the send follow up hit or intentionally missing ppl and then coming back like a boomerang on them.

[@FloppeyPyro]

I like the Blade of Calling, it does great damage at range. I do mid-game focused on helping randoms and lemme tell you having do 1100 damage at 40 feet away is grand.

Love the Sly Cooper background music, brought back a whole bunch of memories

[@Rawmon94]

Appreciate the effort, thanks for the video!

[@hellxapo5740]

The bubble spam is definitely a soap fest in Elder Ling

[@josephchacra2840]

I was so confused about Wolf's Assault being rated so low, but no I totally agree, it's really hard to build around -- even when it's the main weapon your build centers on 😅

[@youngmahalo9406]

its not that its hard to build around its just super low damage and you have to hit both parts for full damage and it takes forever.

[@j-lohome-slice7425]

In the time it takes me to actually find enough time to sit down, watch an hour-long content video through chaotic lifestyles. It's so lovely that when I get to be done with one video and then look on to the new KZbin's and see another epic tail of RANK
