Interestingly enough, beast claw left hand and bloodhound's fang in right lets you actually fight like the bloodhound fang knights since you now have that claw leap, you can also swap sides if you want more leaps

Claws are fun but so many harder dlc enemies have hyper armor and just ruin your day

[@WorlBoss]

Fun in PVP

[@KNGDDDE]

The H2H deals with poise knights really well imo. Worthy risk, stance breaks, fast, infinite poise ash... yea the claws seemed sub par wen compared

[@zaiwex]

Works on pvp at least

[@TheAnaz41745]

If they can be bled, Beast Claw with Raging Beast is still a great option to dodge and counter their attack at once and can be spammed

[@Rain1]

Yea. I've been finding that the black steel great hammer is the way to go due to the fact that all these Claws and stuff don't stagger

[@magicalgirl1296]

Oh it can just straight up perma stun omens to death lol. It looks like a powered up version of the bloodborne beast claw weapon

[@NeoGato2point0]

I love beast claws. It reminds me of Bloodborne and it rocks as an offhand weapon for a heavy weapon. The way in which you can combo and stagger opponents is extremely surprising to me. It’s stronger than I expected. And I knew about the feint attack. Great Katana has one too.

[@brandendunagan8822]

Hi, I really appreciate your videos on these weapons. I have not seen many videos going in-depth on the stats and frame data of weapons. I might not use these on my DEX builds, but videos like these always interest me nonetheless.

[@xSoundTigerx]

Pretty neat and in-depth analysis, earned my sub. Looking forward to your beast claw build guide.

[@harrybalsagna1966]

Cant wait for the guide! Love this weapon type

[@MannFace51]

Mans pretty much has a Ph.D in Armored Core VI and Elden Ring stats. Super impressive. I always wonder how my stats affect my infusions and whatnot, how effective things are vs X or Y enemy. I’ve so many questions as to how it all works and what the formulas are behind infusions…..

[@Leo-xn8ti]

Crightt out here pumping out content.

[@sandonhamnett]

Great video, as always! Do you think you'll make a video about the changes to quality scaling and parry frame data?

[@beansnrice321]

I love the weapons in the dlc. Personally I've taken to the smithscript daggers. I use em cold with endure, leap attack bonuses. They also have a better than average guard counter. Somehow this was able to cheese the scadu tree avatar, Gaius and messmer. =)

[@ToniSkit]

Say more this sounds cool

[@FelisImpurrator]

Wait, the smithscript dagger of all things has a good guard counter? Surprising. Do you pair it with the smithscript shield or do you just toss on a towershield for that? I only ever found good results powerstancing them, because the light combo with cold basically prints frostbite procs with six daggers per chain. Could toss on Fire's Deadly Sin for the reset cheese too. Or blood with Lord of Blood. I always knew they were good despite how hard people have been dunking on the ninja knives though. Possibly one of the best mounted weapons in the game, basically has slightly more reach than a pike with like three times the status buildup, gets 100% uptime from the smithing talisman, lightning quick recovery frames... My favorite smithscript weapon by far, with Messmer's firework launcher as a close second.

[@ausiidnd]

@@FelisImpurrator you can use the deflecting tear from physick for guard counters while powerstancing. The actual guard counter attack is basically the "piercing throw" ash of war after a short backstep, it's been doing something like 1.2k after a deflect for me. Very fun and very cool

[@FelisImpurrator]

@@ausiidnd Oh right, I didn't realize that tear could make blocking more than a waste of an input button on light weapons. Nice.

[@PuddleWaterBH]

@@FelisImpurratorblocking is so good, it has so much versatility alot of people overlook or don’t realise

[@battlericky17]

Love this weapon. Ty for the video

[@Dustweaver]

Omg I was testing these out yesterday and I used that exact fashion, save that I wore briar gauntlets. Amazing.

[@atypicaloddity]

Thanks for the guides! One thing that looked really interesting in the DLC is the new teleporting sorcery, especially in a super tanky, heavy rolling build that can use it instead of dodging. The fact that it's a dodge that can be chained into other spells makes me think it could be a combo machine!

[@IdToaster]

The Smithscript weapons (like the lone Throwing Blades weapon we got) are going to be interesting to cover; even setting aside the whole no-FP ranged attacks, the innate Int and Faith scalings that boost physical damage do funny things when Magic/Cold/Flame Art/Sacred infused.

[@TitanAnon]

I coincidentally wanted to try a dragon lightning build with the claws and just so happen to learn lightning is the way to go anyway lol Thanks cright, love you!

[@drakusmero104]

Dude, you put so much effort into understanding the mechanics of this game. You're a top G in my book. Keep on keeping on

[@devyn54]

I'd love a breakdown of the new weapon arts, what they scale with, and how much poise damage they do. Can't seem to find that info anywhere right now

[@dennisl9176]

i definitely agree i love how unique the beast claw moveset is. altho personally im not using it as much

[@diegomaynez1425]

Backhand daggers next please ,the running attack doesn't stop mobility ,great for catching runners.

[@JadedJasantha]

Beast Claw? BEST Claw. A really, really fun combo I've been running is off-hand beast claw/ main-hand martial art. Between the shmovement of beast claw, the poise damage of MA kicks, and Palm Blast? Tarnished-sized enemies don't stand a chance. Hell, they took Mesmer down with relative ease, and I was on NG+!

[@TheBrownestFalcon]

I'm glad that the Red Bear's Claw isn't just an inferior version (out of fashion) of even Heavy Beast Claws, and that the Ash of War is actually quite strong.

[@varsoonhks3211]

High quality as always--thanks for collecting all this info and presenting it in such a comprehensive and concise way!!

[@iota-09]

Been having lots of fun using offbclaw with great katana, nobody expects the near instant gk windup right after the L1, although it hardly ever stuns on the first hit it somehow still works(likely cause to get priority the opponent would need to be starting their own attack while they ate being hit by the claw, meaning only HA weapons users would have the guts to do that)

[@TechNinjaSigma]

Reminds me of the good ol' days back in Yharnam

[@n8doggy733]

i love AoW spam weapons so Red Bear Beast Claw is something i should level up ❤

[@kurtcobane1762]

Thanks was planning to build a full beastial incant build with the claws your Info was very handy

[@cheukyi6]

Chrightt can you do a detailed breakdown & review video for Pata (fist weapon)?

[@BrokeNSings]

Can you get us some data on the deflect tear?

[@vector2993]

Need a leda's sword guide, been trying to look into it but want to mix dex/faith casting dunno the optimal stats at 150 though

[@Grimrai悲壮ライPlay]

Now that Glintblades have been super nerfed, do you think you could do an update video for the best poise breaker? Especially with all the new weapons now introduced.

[@dearcastiel4667]

Infuse in bleed of frost. Mash that attack or AoW button. Watch the health bar melt like snow in Egypt.

[@MrSMAN98]

Hope you cover the smith script dagger i want them to be good but cant figure it out myself. Range is too bad

[@ITNoetic]

Looking forward to hand to hand analysis

[@lightdeschanel9758]

Will you do the new weapons the DLC has added to the old weapon categories?

[@chobofo]

amazing stuff, felt like i was in a classroom!

[@Younghoon15]

Im running these as a dex faith build with lightning infusion. You buff yourself with golden vow and run electrocute. With the lightning scorpion talisman, it does a surprising amount of damage with electrocute proximity where you dont even need to hit them to deal constant electric damage. Samething with the hand to hand weapons

[@edd4131]

Gonna try this on my dryleaf lightning arts

[@BlaZay]

That'd be pretty neat if only Electrocharge dealt more than 20 dmg per tick.

[@VashTheHumanStampede]

Great video 👍 Also the beast claws are my favorite now in the game 🙃 Which one is your favorite weapon?

[@yourlocalclown-hr7sx]

These are fun to play with and if you use blood on them it's pretty good

[@bobsinclair8990]

thx crightt

[@TheRandomASDF]

My only complain about the beastclaw is the lack of armor on your lefthand when using a seal 🤣 When you use full armor, it looks kinda silly when your left hand is naked 🙈

[@dlk339]

You should look at the thrown weapons next.

[@ryanleatigaga7596]

These gave me the win against Rellana with Bloodflame Blade, which you can imbue on your claws, and Mimic Tear. She wants to be aggressive? I can be aggressive too.

[@bbbluem]

The king is back

[@AverageDoctor345]

Oh I didn't know you could cancel Savage Claws, that's really cool!

[@allenzale342]

I got a question about the dmg values of the Greatsword of Damnation. Does the crit work exactly as Lifesteal fist dealing mostly elemental dmg? Or is it an AR based ash of war? I gotta know before i commit to 80 STR lol

[@Xarxes_]

Fellow beast claw enjoyer rocking the pelt + Rakshasa chest combo for supreme drip

[@BeNarski]

Danes footwork is my absolute favorite weapon and I wish it will be a standard weapon category for the next souls like games from fromsoft. I stun locked malenia with running r2, r1 and weapon art combos nonstop until poise break. Dmg is a bit low but hell of fun.

[@Smerte13]

which affinity do you run on footwork?

[@lintystarfish]

Can you go over the euporia twinblade?

[@iota-09]

Qm i wrong or is the raging beast R1 follow up NOT part of the standard R1 chain?

[@SonicSanctuary]

Yes my beast build will be even better now!

[@AboFaisal5th]

Please drop hand to hand video. Keep it up🐐

[@LouSaydus]

I really wish they had added a special move the L1 when paired. Blocking with these is... a bad idea. A parry or dodging attack would have been nice.

[@taylorderryberry6147]

To put it simply, it makes you feel like either Wolverine or Sabertooth. Nice.👌

[@MrZymcio]

Hey which weapon would be good to stunlock enemys ? There is a lot of info about PVP poise but not too much vs PVE. For example it is possible to stunlock bosses ? or even perma stun them ?

[@X-Vidar]

I'm kinda curious, will you do a video only on the smithscript dagger or do you plan to do all the smithscript weapons together maybe?

[@Chrightt]

I might do both actually. I'm thinking about covering the smithscript weapons together first because they might be bugged atm, and if it is indeed a bug and not a feature, I will elaborate on it individually during their own weapon type videos.

[@alanviniciuswanderleytavar4399]

Comeon bud, make a build video, i love your builds

[@KolinarK]

and so it begins

[@xenvakt300995]

Video on perfumes please! (Non-busted AoW)

[@Chrightt]

Waiting for them to fix params for perfumes so they don't multi-hit. It'll undoubtedly be changed so I want to cover the changed version.

[@xenvakt300995]

@@Chrightt understood, thank you! Will eagerly wait for your video :D

[@FelisImpurrator]

​@@ChrighttThey should be allowed to multihit, just not to the absolutely insane degree rolling sparks does. Otherwise they'd be nerfed into the ground. Like... Their whole thing is being the Wing of Astel ash and that thing can do multi hitbox damage, which is the main use of the ash in PVE.

[@meektheshy]

I keep these on L3 now because of how light they are!

[@maryceleste_aghost]

Is they have move set different when use roar buff?

[@Scowleasy]

Omg yes. Beast claws are best claws!

[@lumiverinightstar228]

While savage beast I think is better because all it takes is one well timed click, I still find raging beast very good for pvp. It isn't as reliable as blind spot but it's chasing and pressure are really strong if the other player isn't used to the moveset. Sadly....does lose hard to a hyper armor player who doesn't panic. Still love them though, they gave me something I wanted for a long time. To play and feel like an actual beast in a game.

[@BR_Eureka]

Thrusting shields next? 👀👀👀👀

[@n8doggy733]

hey what is your overall review of the dlc. I would give it a 8, it didnt meet my high expectations but it is still fun

[@Chrightt]

I quite like the DLC overall. The majority of the new weapons added are fun. I think some broken weapon arts will be fixed for sure. I'll probably give it a 9/10 really.

[@Walamonga1313]

I wonder how sky high your expectation was. I think it's better than base game. 9/10 only issues are performance and how ridiculously broken some new things are (they obviously never playtested the tracking bow with status arrows on pvp). They also fixed my gripe that was scadutree blessing balance

[@impatientimp3292]

Double Euporia build?

[@fullmetalathlete]

Dude i am looking forward to this build so much. This is the number one weapon I'm looking forward to in the dlc. I really hope they don't nerf that aow 🙏🏼

[@lumiverinightstar228]

50/50? It's wonderful on basic enemies but it gets you hit More often than not on bosses because they won't stagger. I guess we'll have to see if fromsoft finds that to be a problem or not.

[@kitsuneprincess4637]

What are you wearing here? It looks so good!

[@Elrog3]

Can you use Lifesteal Fist with the beast claws?

[@rightful4973]

Do you have a video on the two hand to hand weapons?

[@Chrightt]

Not yet, will be coming soon.

[@Shadeeboy1]

Can you do great katanas next

[@ghoulbuster1]

YES I LOVE THE CLAWS

[@valentai_777]

I’m kinda sad these weapons seem to scale primarily wit Str. For Dex-Arc builds. Bleed/poison isn’t really an optimal option. Thankfully my bleed build is Str/Arc.

[@DJCreepero]

These suck against some bosses since the way it attacks can conflict with bosses' hitboxes making you hit nothing due to this these bosses can only be hit by one side.

[@Wisppp_]

Flame knight greatsword build when

[@FoalanAzrael]

Hand to Hand next? 🖤

[@Malagan]

Okay I hadn't considered these yet but now? Absolutely. Have you been bothered to check the smithscript daggers yet? Looking at the AR calc looks like Int build is a winner for those, somehow.

[@FelisImpurrator]

Oh wow. They scale higher with Magic/Cold than Keen or one of the arcane ones? No wonder my cold ones felt like they were deleting things, while others have said they do trash damage. Guess I accidentally ended up lucking into peak kunai. Magic ninja it is. Could be real fun with fire-type pots like the cracked Volcano Pots for a true ninja throwing build, or running just enough Faith to slap Fire's Deadly Sin on for constant reset nonsense.

[@Walamonga1313]

​@@FelisImpurratorholy shit you just made me realize I can use those as well as Uchi and Raptor of the mist for a ninja build. What's a good armor set for that?

[@FelisImpurrator]

@@Walamonga1313 not really sure what pairs best with Raptor, admittedly. Just experiment.

[@Malagan]

@@FelisImpurrator So they scale great off Faith and Int, but both together doesn't really bring it up all that much. So like 11 faith and 80 int on a +25 Magic smithscript dagger brings the AR up to 503. Sacred/Flame Art is 494 on 80 Faith 11 int. Going Cold with 80 Int brings it down to 384 but it scales off weirdly with a bit of dex too. Like, 80 int and 20 dex is 400 already. For fast thrown daggers it doesn't seem too bad? Keen on the other hand? at 80 dex, we're at 378. Dex scales those daggers like crap. I'd love to see Chrightt's numbers on it.

[@DatRealTom]

Oh yeah, here we go

[@montecarlowithdawningornam1817]

For those saying staggaring enimes is an issue, you can put craig blade in these mfs
