[@maxenfelter]

"The plunge hitbox appears to be kinda small." **immediately follows up with a clip demonstrating that the plunge hitbox is bigger than it appears**

[@gamerFreak0623]

is it irony? Or was he serious about it? Who knows? We'll never find out.

[@Pompadourius]

At the very least though it doesn't feel like as big of a hitbox as a greatsword or straight sword plunge. Still deceptively large though.

[@gamerFreak0623]

might just have been lag. Well the hitbox is larger than it seems, but you shouldn't overestimate it.

[@ProjectGoof]

Thanks for the mention homie. i also am like this with people that parry, if i'm too scared to swing cause you can parry, then there will be no fight, i'd rather go out knowing i beat your parry then being too scared to swing. good shit Saint.

[@saintriot]

Project Goof exactly. I can live with the loss. Can't live with being bored.

[@Merapsco]

Riot lives an interesting life. Saint, dancer, surgeon, poet, father, lover. The only thing he hasn't done is throw Mankind off a hell in the cell.

[@camarojayrod7093]

Merapsco like way back in nineteen ninety eight? BAH GAWD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!1!

[@iamamish]

I agree entirely with your assessment of the Lucerne. I didn't like it against multiple opponents, though the 1h moveset is a bit better. It just abuses small weapons players who don't know their spacing really well.

[@butteredtoast9315]

iamamish It's not great but what I've found to be useful against multiple opponents is hit them once, wait a second and then go into full weapon art. That requires a decent fp bar if you rely on that though and stamina management. The lucerne just takes getting used to.

4:00 THE LOATHSOME POOP-EATER

At 4:30 we can admire the figure of dung eater before he gained weight, changed slightly his name and moved to the Lands Between.

[@Loodvigg]

Black Knight Glaive was my first favorite weapon when I got the game and it's still beast. Happy new year Saint, you vape lord.

[@saintriot]

Ludwing L. Thanks!

[@sunlightsage2982]

If you play with these weapons super aggressively, then I've gotta tell you... *you're making a glaive mistake*

[@pookiepow2058]

How the "glitch" works is in one scenario that can be done. If 1) it's one of the weapons that can (greatlance does double hit more then any other weapon) 2) you get staggered in the exact frames that YOUR attack frames are present. I can't find an article on it anywhere, but I reliably did the glitch when staggered and my greatlance was in the attack frames. You should try it. I honestly think that is the reason hyper armor was added to the greatlance was to mask up the phenomenon...

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

the greatlance has hyper armor because it had hyper armor in dark souls 2. lances used to be their own weapon class distinct from spears, they weren't just "pikes." all of them had hyper armor and obviously the reason for that is because they're much slower than spears. you can't have a slower version of a spear and give it no benefits to compensate. in dark souls 2, counter damage was a stat. every weapon had its own counter damage modifier and lances had the highest. so the reason you'd use a lance over a spear was for the hyper armor and the counter damage. the grand lance was one of the best duel weapons in that game and was very popular so likely the reason they added the greatlance in dark souls 3 was so people wouldn't be disappointed about the lack of lances. however they kind of missed the point, with the lack of varying counter damage modifiers, the only thing the greatlance could have over spears was damage and hyper armor. but they didn't give it enough hyper armor or enough extra damage to really make it worth it. but clearly they tried, i think they just ended up making too many spears with really high damage. kinda fan service, most players only want to use really cool looking weapons with high damage. so first the gargoyle flame spear then they had to throw in the ringed knight spear. just knocking everything but the partizan out of relevance and also basically doing more damage than the lance. anyway it doesn't sound like the kind of problem they would be powerless to resolve. if they were aware of it, i think they would have fixed it, not just shoddily covered it up. but it's irrelevant anyway because it would be absurd if the greatlance previously had no hyper armor. it would be a completely pointless weapon without hyper armor and it would have nothing in common with the DS2 weapon class it was based on.

[@dhm8286]

blue fella at 5 minutes had a copy of elden ring early. "POOP-EATER". prophetic, really

[@_papa_john]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed, I saw it and immediately started gangstalking the comments for validation lol

[@shinygekkouga52]

I've been taking a ton of Saint's advice into my invasion, and I must say, I've gotten hooked to invasion. Even with the occasional loss, I feel as if whoever I'm invading is throwing their controller.

[@Psychx_]

It could be me being masochistic, but the Fire infused (not Chaos) Estoc +4 in combination with the target shield and the Dark Hand is great fun on a lv 45max char. Just dump every single stat point into HP and a bit into stamina and equip load so you can stay under 30%. When the enemy rolls after r1,r1 - r2 always catches their rolls. It would be cool if you tried that out some day, Saint. Anyways, have a happy new year and thanks for always making awesome videos!

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

i can't believe yuria gave you her pants AND her legs. that's a pretty serious sacrifice

[@anordinarypedestrian5445]

3:54 THE LONESOME POOP EATER

[@Nick-wo3vi]

Saint Riot ≠ Pokey boi

[@Psiberzerker]

In your Brass Helm Build (Link in the Description) you have 30 Poise, and in the Vilhelm build 21. The Alva Helmed one is a little better, but I like to hit about 35 with the Lucerne to combo out of Leo Trades with heavy weapons. (Vordt's comes to mind) You're not fast enough to beat them to the punch, and against a good Greatclub player, you can't outspace them either. So, you basically have to Tank through 1 hit, possibly 2 if they're too heavy to Stagger out as well. (Which just means more counterhits, for more damage.) My usual outfit is the Evangelist' Hat, Lothric Armor, Nameless Gauntlet, and Exile Leggings. (For Fashion as much as Armor/Poise.) Here's my SL 63 "Can Opener" Knight: steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/911283084455316496/F242F3519B19491C64F9BCED29CF5450AA5EEA14/

[@gir2195]

Did you notice a difference when hitting with the head of Lucerne vs hitting with the pole?

[@saintriot]

Robert Williams I tried to not hit people with the pole. I assume this weapon has sweet spot damage so I always tried to hit in the sweet spot (which is much easier than it sounds).

[@unsubme2157]

saint_riot h

[@oldrabidone]

GG saint, I have a lot of nostalgia for the black Knight glaive from DS1, it most defiantly still has a place for DS3 invasions. I STILL have problems with fighting glaives in a 1v1 situation, it's range and deceptive poise always fucks me up!

[@thedarkpilgrim5875]

Very cool to showcase these, Saint! I've been thinking about using one of these lately but so far never got to actually try it out. Comes at the right time :-)

[@corvus2288]

17:20 leo ring doesn't affect instability supercounters tho

[@julianvining9021]

Might be late but the double hit has to be a glitch. Happens most during rolls and you can hear the damage tick twice

[@julianvining9021]

Also I have never see it happen with DLC halberds. *Source: I like glaives*

[@TR-ru7wl]

I can't seem to do the kick reliably. Repeating the same timing of button presses seems to only get me half of the time.

[@TYLER503DURDEN]

the Lucerne has always held a special place in my heart. I used it quite awhile back on a caster build to keep people back at a distance to get spells off. Then when they get impatient and rush in get them with the combo.

[@shubbith3109]

19:49 and here we see the lucerne returning to its resting place

[@davidnaslund4671]

I am a fan of your work, it is always nice to see a new video up! Having said that, I like to express how I want more of those cool losses you get. Those are important to have the video be exciting to me. Cause I don't care too much about overwhelmed opponents, it's just not interesting fights. Laugh some at your own expense more :-) You wanna be: "Man how is this going to end?!" when you're looking at the fights the first time. The best ones, to me, is when the invader loses after a long and difficult fight. And it is that too, longer videos where you search and comment are also great. I come here to listen to what you have to say about the situations and it doesn't have to be full throttle all the time, cause you're interesting enough without it. I realize that finding material to work with may be difficult and I sure love to see you win, but think about it cause in my opinion it would help the videos. Thanks for making the world richer with your videos :-)

[@Vrael7777]

13:45 SO BEAUTIFUL

[@arthurg1425]

General Sam? Is that you? Oh, sorry. Just my imagination

[@popesly8433]

I'm learning from this video in 2019. Thanks, Saint

[@butteredtoast9315]

Papa Saint delivering on that lucerne. Excellent. It's an awesome weapon. I do agree that it's rough dealing mulitple opponents. I usually go full WA when I get a group bunch together. Occasionally you can hit one person and instead of following up with another r1 wait for them to get out of stagger then go full WA since it will combo all the way through. The biggest problem with that is the stamina drain on the full WA. It's honestly a gamble but if you think it is worthwhile it can deal some nasty damage if it works out. Glaives just take some getting used to as far as invasions are concerned. If your spacing needs work play with a glaive or scythe for a while and they'll set you straight.

[@pincognito1938]

Oh, my dear pre-poise patch Lucerne and Black Knight Glaive (sheds single, sorrowful tear).

[@The_Custos]

Yeah, I'm going to pair it with the straight sword given how well that has gone for me with the leo and thrust mandate of heaven.

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

Hey, I saw POOP-EATER as a phantom outside of the Dancer Boss room on my Arch Bishop character. Or was it somewhere else... maybe closer to Yhorm's?

[@saintriot]

The King POOP EATER must get around.

[@TheKing-qz9wd]

saint_riot While I happen to have your attention, I did some invasions using Ledo's at sl 150 range. With a weapon like that, I have the ability to beat any trade in the game, and damn near kill hosts in one combo. Fitting for my purposes, honestly. My straight sword game is shit, been thinking about keeping an axe instead. I can't parry and don't do back stab fishing, but the hammer hits so hard I actually didn't need to. Would you like to comment upon the glory of Ledo's great hammer?

[@saintriot]

The King ultra great hammer. Highest poise health. Bullshit hit box on the weapon art. Combo potential. A great "main" weapon for invasions.

[@southkoreanrice]

Thank you, based Saint Riot.

[@rikkurikku129]

Gonna recommend the Crucifix of the Mad King, has that sexy Great Club R2 and a juicy weapon art.

[@saintriot]

Redhottree a little too good for my taste lol. That weapon art is broke.

[@oceanbox9528]

It also gets greatsword poise. Nice balancing from.

[@cooldudeachyut]

DS3 pay2win confirmed, Disney bought FromSoftware already!

[@LazyMaybe]

Assume the same goes for splitleaf, then. It's so fun how many different combos it has, though. You can do R1->WA->backstep cancel-R1! What other weapon has backstep combos?

[@julianvining9021]

saint_riot *not broken

[@katanamaru1]

Good tip on the 'make them prove they can parry' in low level pvp.

[@MrGoofyGooberson]

Glaives are so nice to use Good range and decent damage while being quick

[@oceanbox9528]

If 1handed greatsword is to horizontal UGS, then this is the Vertical UGS. It can be rolled and pressured easily, but does great damage and can dual fairly well. That and its hard to parry. I know for a little while Sticky would use this as a backup on his poise monster meta level character, and that's probably where it does best.

[@elitefish2239]

Hey saint, for the bkg I think there is a rlly good true combo. R2-> R1-> L2-> R1, I know for a fact that R2-> R1 is a true combo, but try this it can probably 1 shot a phantom

[@marealnamenott]

That's a long ass combo, in group situations it would be useless. Also, are you supposed to hit the opponent with both hits of the first R2?

[@elitefish2239]

marealname nott the bkg only has one hit on it's R2

[@Habalougan]

marealname nott The entire weapon is bad in group situations

[@preasidium13]

Glaive R2's are really bad tho

[@elitefish2239]

GUCCIGANGGUCCIGANGGUCCIGANGGUCCIGANGGUCCIGANG THE BLACK KNIGHT GLAIVE HAS A DIFFERENT R2 THAN THE LUCEREN

[@ColeTrainStudio]

Halberds and glaives are by far my favorite weapon type. Lucerne is my go-to weapon, and as a duelist, I rarely lose with it. It's easy to be aggressive, its even easier to be defensive with, and the 1hR2 gets around shields. It's active frames end at just the perfect time to bait for parries on the 1hR1 and the 1hR2. And if people get parry hungry, the weapon art is unparriable. It's requirements are quite low. The rolling R1 is comes out nasty quick. Plus, as you said, it gains a buff from the Leo Ring, it is, by far my favorite weapon. It allows me to dictate the pace and flow of the battle, and lets me use mind games to fuck with my opponent. 10/10.

[@DragonMagi]

What a gorgeous display!

[@aymeraldds9126]

This "glitch" is probably due to the fact the weapon hits the exact spot between the sweet spot of the weapon and the other part

[@smilymyrder]

It was my understanding that the double damage "glitch" hit appeared when you hit your opponent with the sweet spot and the hilt, so you get damage from both. Can't remember where I read/heard it though so I don't have any proof.

[@jorgeoquendo7514]

It sounds like either sweetspot damage or a crit from attacking at the same time. If we're putting aside headshot crit.

[@hypotheticalpineapple]

luuuuuuuuuuuceerrrrrrrnnneeeeee has messed my mind up but i still love her

[@coryseavers2932]

r u sure the extra damage isnt just the sweetspot that halberds have

[@SynderFGC]

"Functioning Scythe Class" Now I need the scythe video

[@rmattoali]

Sharp Lucerne have good scaling on dex if you're going for counter hit, with Lothric straight sword offhand its pretty good

[@Twisted_fgc]

"For whatever reason one weapon I've never got around to giving much love to has been-" The Red Hilted halberd. Right? Yeah? Corvian claws? Shit, fine. And in response to your double damage thing. I had traded with a splitleaf with my big boy sword and I shit you not, I lost at least 70% of my health bar by a hyper armor trade. I was on the wooden bridge in the archives too and I wad higher up on the stairs and I just took way too much damage. Not sure how. But yeah, testing would be nice. Good video as usual Saint, love me some glaives.

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

leo ring just bumps thrust resistance during counters down actually. the host already has 30% reduced resistance to thrust during his animations. the leo ring turns it into 49.5%. so you're not really getting 400 extra damage from the leo ring, you're getting like 150 extra damage from the leo ring and like 250 extra damage from the ordinary counter attack buff to thrust damage. but still 150 extra damage is really good so the leo ring is definitely the best ring for any weapon with fast thrust attacks

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

should have said ordinary counter attack debuff to thrust resistance

[@Psiberzerker]

Spacing is even more critical, because you do less damage if you hit them with the haft, instead of the head. There's a serparate hitbox which does Impact damage. Very little impact damage, so if you don't understand spacing/timing, you might want to go with a Greatsword.

[@Psiberzerker]

IRL (Well, reenactments) Polaxes, and Lucerne Hammers (Basically a polax with a spiky hammer head) are my favorite weapons. I like swords, I do, but those are, and always have been sidearms for a longarm like a Halberd. A hammer backed pole ax has a choppy bit, and a smashy bit, so you can just flip it over when you encounter Armor. (That's what the luscerne head is for, smashing armor) Rather than flipping your sword over, and swinging the guard like a hammer by the blade, which also works, but obviously not as well as a dedicated hammer.

[@Psiberzerker]

I do like the Lucerne, as far as how it works, extremely well in the game. However, I still kinda hate the fact that From mistranslated, or mistook what the real ones are, and what they're for. It's supposed to be a Hammer, when what they have there is a Pick, or Bec du Corbin (Crow's Beak) with an unused hammer on the back. This could be a seriously versatile weapon, (Like Yorska's Spear if it didn't suck) with piercing attacks, and smashing attacks, but instead, it's basically a long-handled Pick with Spin Sweep instead of Galvanize.

[@yungmalaria]

The reason people don't use them, and why I don't use them is because they are incredibly easy to parry. They don't all benefit from leo ring counters on the two hand moveset. The spin attacks are hit or miss honestly, far less effective DS1/DS2 spin2win abilities. Even though its mechanically almost exactly like a greatsword, it somehow feels a lot more bland. What I want from a glaive/halberd is the same two hand moveset, but I want more of a spear two handed R2 so I'm not hitting fucking walls all the time.

[@vaporwave4207]

Double hits are probably the same thing that happens in call of duty when super bullets happen, basically in call of duty if a weapons firing rate was more than the the current ping of the match then two bullets damage will register in one set of packets when that information is sent, this makes it so that one bullet gets double damage, hence the name super bullets. I doubt double hits are repeatable and something that only happens when the connection gets weak.

[@CryptidTracker]

MemeMane Jeffdunham Someone else already commented saying they’ve been able to consistently replicate it, and it only happens with weapons that have a “sweet spot,” and, if I’m not mistaken, it happens because the target is being hit by both of the weapon’s hitboxes for whatever reason

[@vaporwave4207]

Cryptid Tracker that's not true though, double hits happens with every weapon in the game but it does happen with some weapons more often than others like the Great Lance, my hypothesis is that super bullets are happening but since some weapons have multi-hit properties it makes it more likely to happen on those weapons, and like I said, super bullets depend on the your frame rate and ping, so that may be a variable in why that person was able to replicate it but even the pro meta lord's that play in tournaments haven't been able to figure out or replicate double hits consistently.

[@CryptidTracker]

MemeMane Jeffdunham I’ll take your word for it; I’ve never gotten a double hit with anything that didn’t have a sweet spot (and only a very small fraction of my time played is with weapons that do have a sweet spot), so it was just an assumption

[@vaporwave4207]

Cryptid Tracker I saw someone else on here that explained it pretty well, the sweet spot mechanic doesn't effect the weapon nearly as much in 3 as it did in 2, the sweet spot only gives 50-80 more damage. So hitting with both the normal sweet spot hitbox and the non sweet spot hitbox doesn't account for the almost double in damage you get from double hits.

[@CryptidTracker]

MemeMane Jeffdunham “The sweet spot in DS3 is nowhere near as important as in DS2, it only does like 50-80 more damage. The thing he was talking about is a bug where you can hit someone with both the hitboxes of the weapon, which does absurd amounts of damage,” that was me replying to Ultimate Failure Elbon The Lolinator I’ve never decided to actually test to see if the damage of the “sweet spot” + normal damage was equal to the super hit whenever I’ve gotten it on my friend, so (as I said before) it’s always just been an assumption

[@Purr5uer]

Thank you, backstab Jesus. Time to invade while the blessing is active!!1!

[@MolfredoSascha]

More than a headahoot i think it would be connection issues and you hit with the point of the halbread, like scytes/reapers, if you hit with the tip of the weapon it does 2x damage

[@MolfredoSascha]

Or maybe, there is a bug that doesnt allow to hit with the tip of the weapon, like no bleed damage for pontiff scyte, and sometimes everything line up to do the actual damage

[@newt3k]

THANK YOU BACKSTAB JAYYYYYSUS

[@ghostswinter]

Hey buddy! Great work!

[@saintriot]

Howie Thanks man!

[@YellowChakra]

The Lucerne at lvl 60 is insane. I’ve 1 shot hosts with the r1, l2, r2 if I land all 4 hits and have a resin on it

[@hostofemberstimbo7500]

Not sure if you know, but gundyr halberd has lots of hyper armor (I have 45 poise though). Not sure about other halberds. Also, gundyr halberd doesn't have great scaling, but has tons of base damage. With 40 strength at +5 I get 482 ar. WA is also good Estus punish.

[@saintriot]

blind diver they all have hyper armor. Maybe gundyr has additional poise health?

[@hostofemberstimbo7500]

saint_riot probably does have more poise health. Also, it has a special attribute where it breaks hyper armor and poise extra quick. Also, sry for not watching full video first.

[@cooldudeachyut]

I think only the charge WA has tons of poise health.

[@hostofemberstimbo7500]

Achyut Dwivedi the WA does, but ive poised through a greatsword r1 with a gundyr r1. Once again, the character I did this with has 45 poise.

[@cooldudeachyut]

Maybe 'cause it was your first trade where your poise health is at 100%. Try a second trade when your poise health reduces to 80%.

[@Sylvviix]

You sound different

[@rezganger]

Is it the weapon or the target who has the HITBOX?

[@The_Custos]

Praise the Leo ring damage!

[@limeybonesjones7395]

The lucrene is the god of space LMAO

[@CEOofDontCareInc]

Saint Here are some tips for the Lucern if your opponent rolls a lot towards you. do two handed R2s whenever you encounter an edge lord spamming L1 with farrons ugs. Always trade with him when he does the SECOND L1 IF you escaped the first L1 cuz the second L2 has almost no range on farrons ugs. Of course trade with R1s whenever you're fighting multiple opponents use the weapon art more often to hit all of them and you can poise through most light to mid weight weapons (NOT GREAT SWORDS) and but you can poise through great swords IF you have over 20 or 30 poise That's all I know it's a good weapon honestly

[@CEOofDontCareInc]

Black knights 1 handed R2s are also good for roll catching since the second swipe is the one mostly guaranteed to hit and is the one that deals higher damage the first quick swipe is just there to lock them in a staggerimation to get hit by the second one

[@kadash1481]

hey saint_riot i've been farming a lot to make that big boy jr build lv 56, can you answer some quick questions? why cathedral greatsword over any other? why no caestus offhand? can you give me some tips to where do you get the more invasions with that build and any play tip? make a video on him c:

[@dalekgeek225]

This isn't really about the halberds and such, but may I recommend that you turn the game volume down a bit in your videos. It can get fairly distracting sometimes. Thank you.

[@HalozillaEX]

I guess it goes without saying that the splitleaf is probably the best glaive, huh? Man, I used the normal glaive for the longest time, but the damage was just not cutting it.

[@nickzettas5220]

You're wearing Yuria's legs and pants? How?

[@NyanTerror]

The lucerne should've had a halberd/spear moveset, would've been sick

[@AkosKovacs.Author.Musician]

Its a bit off topic but I recently tried out the carthus curved GS, crystal infused and it's pretty decent- basically a very slightly worse Murakumo in dmg, but a little faster, and lighter, also you can one hand it with less requiremts, and the WA is a little better in my opinion.

[@blue_caduceus592]

I'm forever amazed by just how good the Black Knight Glaive is: I hadn't played with it for a while, and picked it up again at a fight club. I was doing amazing, until my last opponent used an Estus and killed me while I was at low health. I am pretty bad at pressuring Hosts and Phantoms most of the time, it just doesn't click for me: except for when I'm using a glaive.

[@Pre-Post-Mortem124]

The builds you've linked are wrong?

[@vanzant3333]

Baeleaf is top tier even in duels. Imagine it would shred hosts/ host and a summon equally as well, if not better than in duels.

[@kingdonnie1342]

That’s a lotta damage!

[@voltaire7297]

Halberds would be so much more useful in invasion situations if they gave them an R2 that actually did a useful horizontal attack.

[@ignis_.]

thank you, Backstab Jesus

[@Elbon-the-Lolinator]

The increased damage is the result of "sweet spot" damage.

[@CryptidTracker]

[@alabaz]

Thank you backstab-jesus

[@soapxh]

So, have an SL 60 +7 character and I accidentally upgraded a shield to max. I can tell that it’s affecting where I can invade. I was wondering if I could fix this by discarding the shield or putting into my inventory or something.

[@javax6]

At the very least you would need to completely discard it.

[@soapxh]

sciritai6 Would that for sure work?

[@CryptidTracker]

According to the wiki: no, the game remembers what your highest upgrade level is. Never tested myself though, so take that for what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@soapxh]

Cryptid Tracker Yeah, I just tested it with my friend by seeing if I could pick up +8 weapons and I could. I even discarded it. I just forgot that the Grass Crest shield only goes to +5 and I wasn’t paying attention to what kind of shards it was using.

[@soapxh]

Should I bring my character up to SL 120 +10 then? Or should I do something between SL 60 and 120?
