Best weapon❌️ Best ashes of war✅️

[@ElMorao]

Yeah, that's whats I don't like much about Elden Ring. The game is so big and there is a lot of things to explore and test, but it just end either picking up a Op Spell or a Op AoW and keep spamming it. Every weapon tier list is pretty similar to every skill tier list just because of this: the meta is busted AoWs. Of course you can still use the movesets from the weapons, and you will have some that will be overpowered especially when powerstancing things, but I feel it being 8/80: Or you will use a entire build focuse on a single AoW or you will be powerstancing twinblades/curved swords or greatspears or katanas or..etc; you picked up the idea right? Why you will make a build to utilizes the most of the melee attacks your fast stright sword have if you can just make a build about Sword of Night and flame 3 shota boss doing 5k dmg per use, or make a build about eochaid dancing blade doind 8k dmg with consecutive hits talismans, or powerstancing bleed things that everyone knows it is busted... It's a shame a game great and big as Elden Ring falls into something like that. I feel like they picked the Weapon Art idea from DS3, that was already an improvement of DS1 and DS2 that the L2 button was most focused on parry and block, and thinked "oh, we should improve this mechanic to be more incredible, unique and give more versatibily to weapons" and they just make this so much incredible and unique that you just forget whats the point of a souls game and now you only use your weapon in melee to kill trash mobs, the rest of the time you will use 2560544 buffs and press the win-button to win the game. I swear to you, in every weapon tier list I see people only talk about the Unique Skills and nothing more. The only place I could find a little bit of diversity was in PvP builds video, that players try to actually use the weapon in melee, thinks about the moveset, the range, the dmg, the scalling, the combos potential, the affinits and for last of course about AoW compatibilty, but without focusing the entire dialogue on it. I feel like this mechanic should never return in future for the sake of the good and golden moments we had in perviour souls games or the next game will be just an Elden Ring re-skin. If u disagree with me, just go to nexus and download some mods, there are a lot of crazy movesets and anime explosions everywhere, and I can't lie to you, they are incredible and pretty fun to use... as unnoficial mods. Yup that's it. Now you lost 5 minutes of your time reading this stupid shit I've wrote. Don't mind me, I just wanted to express this that was killing me from inside, now I'm good. And yes Elden Ring is a fun game, just the play the hell way u wanna play.

[@daruddock]

​@@ElMorao I've just started a claw build, and suddenly my enjoyment has skyrocketed. I'm committing myself to all shardbearers and all mending runes, and it's so much fun!

[@evyatarterri891]

the best INT is the Moonlight Greatsword and the best faith is the Blasphemoue Blade imo

[@tkcjazza]

Both of those are my 2nd places for each category - Just simply due to the damage outputs of the magma blades and deaths poker, that's why they weren't number 1 :)

[@tylerrobbins8311]

​@@tkcjazzadarkmoon greatsword hits harder especially when you factor it's pois damage. Your are ignoring the int scaling also scales with the charged AOW. If you use it in melee when charged it will deal far more as you're going to stance break almost every time with one charged heavy. If you time it right it can actually stop Malenia's water foul because you'll stance break her. This also carries over to pvp especially since you can pois through attacks while power stancing. Few builds can take getting hit by an r1 with darkmoon greatsword. Dps is not everything especially when most AOW are overrated and terrible in pvp. Adula's moon blade pairs perfectly over spamming an AOW as an example not including other spells. Not trying to be rude or argumentive just pointing this out. A weapon is more than it's ash of war or base damage you need to look at every aspect.

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

comet azur is stronger for int

[@tylerrobbins8311]

@@gezimnexhipi4905 Night comet is a better offensive spell. It tracks slightly hits harder than any other spell per FP and in PVE can snipe at range since it's undetectable. Sure comet Azure can melt bosses and large targets but it's very situational to stationary target. Especially factor that you can also cast night comet while moving and can deal more damage overall for the same FP cost. Note comet Azure is best suited for pure mage builds as a way to kill bosses with large HP pools and high pois. Example fire giant and placidusax, Mohg is easy to catch and melt but it is situational to that.

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

@tylerrobbins8311 I used it night comet on melenia in first playthrough melted her and everyone else. strong spell

Nagakiba is also an amazing dexterity weapon as well, for Katana users.

[@WolfgangRP]

Blasphemous is a guaranteed stagger, that heals you, and has huge range and goes in straight line. I had to stop using it because it made the game far too easy.

[@tkcjazza]

It’s not guaranteed stagger against bosses though unfortunately and takes a while to get the ash of war off - I get you can stand back and hit at range but realistically the dps on the magma blades is far more damage - that’s really the only reason why I just put them above the blasphemous blade :)

Blasphemous = easy mode

[@silenceyang6980]

I really liked deaths poker, so i was glad to see it on this list. Since it procs frostbite, you can do an insane amount of damage to bosses that like staying still or walking slowly towards you (crucible knights, rykard, etc) For faith, since i usually go pure caster, just use erdtrees seal plus a couple other seals in my offhand for the damage bonus

[@niladrimondal5003]

Loved the video and the skyrim background music is a nice touch .

[@-thebatman-]

Got the magma blades like a year ago took hours to get 2 thought the were underwhelming n never touched them since but gave them another shot the other day on ng7 easily my new fav weapon melts bosses and great for add clear and running around dungeons

[@notayoungGAMER]

I love this video! A beautiful mix of Elden Ring info with The Elder Scrolls Skyrim music. Awesome!

[@TheCrow938]

A lot of weapons are great or can be made great but I just love the Naginita. A pole arm that works great with a shield. Has great reach and move set. Can be changed to whatever build you want with ash of war. Has innate bleed which can stack on whatever build you want. I love doing a int/dex build and having it cold so It builds up bleed and frost at the same time with its reach. It takes down bosses so easily.

[@nosleepforme2242]

Been having a ton of fun in NG+ with the double Staff of Loss build. The spell is quick, and undetectable by enemies so it’s great for a stealth playthrough. It also hits like a truck (5-6k damage in NG+ 3) when you charge it but can also be spammed very quickly as well. So it’s great for bosses or just traveling around. Not to mention the build itself doesn’t take too much to turn into any different INT build if you really wanted to change things up. On NG+3 now at level 230ish and I’ve already hit the hard cap for 80 int, 60 vig/ mind. And even 33 faith for more buffs to hit things harder. (I even have 54 poise too, but you don’t need to invest into END really).

[@wardgoovaerts3922]

Yo! Can you post your full build? I've been working on one, too, but i'm not sure if I have the optimal one.

[@nosleepforme2242]

@@wardgoovaerts3922 Yeah I got you. I’m going to use my current level for reference, then let you know where you can adjust if you aren’t around my level, since most builds are tailored around level 150/200. Level 231 - starting class - Samurai *STATS* VIG - 60 (you can lower this to 50, or 40 if you don’t get hit often) MIN - 60 ( 60 is a ton of mana, you can lower it to 50 or so, maybe 40 at the least) END- 40 (25 or 30 is needed realistically, maybe even less since it seems that poise doesn’t matter too much when casting spells but the spells DO use stamina; so more Stam = more casts in a row) STR - 12 (can be increased if you have extra points to swap to Dark Moon Greatsword if you get bored) DEX - 17 (possibly could be increased to speed up casting time? Haven’t tested) INT - 80 (hard cap for damage 80 is the goal but could get away with 60 or 70 at first if you’re lower level) FAI - 33 (pretty much only for casting golden vow and howl of shabriri. Howl will increase damage taken, so on NG+ enemies can two or three shot you if you have talismans on that make you take even more damage or have less than 50/60 vigor. If you don’t want to use howl, you can stay low faith and just use the golden vow ash of war) ARC - 8 (pretty much useless when mixed with INT for this build) *ARMOR* Note: I haven’t tested poise out completely with this but it seems like I’m interrupted during casts no matter my poise, so feel free to change your armor to something aesthetic if you don’t mind poise. Right now I’m going for looks so I’m using Black Knife Hood/ Armor with Scaled gauntlets / Greaves. This looks decent and gives me 52 Poise, and decent defense. You can swap the chest for Blaidd’s Armor for 61 poise. *TALISMANS* Dragoncrest greatsheild - (pretty much always keep it on any build since I enjoy taking less damage and I need the damage reduction if I use scorpion charm or Howl. If you don’t get hit, you can replace it with Godfrey icon. Only good if you charge up your spells though) Magic Scorpion Charm - (more damage is good) Ritual sword talisman - only good at max hp, if you want to take a healing spell for you (needs some faith) to top off, you can. If you get hit often then it isn’t the best. Ancestral spirits horn can be decent for mana recovery instead. Graven mass talisman - ( flat 8% damage is nice) *FLASK* Magic-shrouding tear for damage, and cerulean hidden tear for no FP consumption *WEAPONS* Mainhand - Staff of Loss + 25 Offhand - Staff of Loss (no upgrades needed its there for the bonus) and Golden order seal + 10 so we can cast our faith spells mentioned earlier. Though whatever seal you have leveled should work. *SPELLS* Golden Vow Howl of Shabriri Terra Magica Carian Retaliation - (optional, just something extra to cast before running into a boss) Night Shard - (optional, but way faster than Night Comet. Less damage and you can’t charge it, but I use it for simple enemies I can one shot when I want to save mana. However Night comet DOES pierce so sometimes you can use Comet instead and kill multiple enemies which would save you more mana. It’s usually not THAT important but I thought I’d mention it) Night comet - (our main spell, slow to start but can be cast rapidly after, or each cast can be charged for more damage. With all of the buffs I’ve mentioned before I can hit around 5-6k with this when charged.) *OPTIONAL SPELLS* Unseen Form - (optional, I just like sneaking around, but with night comet being unreadable by enemies sometimes you don’t even use this. I just think it’s fun.) Urgent heal/heal - (optional. only if you need to maintain max hp because of your talisman and don’t want to use a flask) Black flames protection - (think this provides like a 20-30% armor buff so it’s good if you find yourself in trouble. Does not stack with Howl.) Ranni’s Dark moon - (I could be wrong, but I think this reduces magic resistance AND builds frost. It’s one of the moon spells. Good for doing even more damage with Comet.) Pretty much any other magic spell you want, that scales with INT, though DEX may help with casting time (I think cap is around 40/50 DEX idr.) *OTHER NOTES* You can also use Frost Pots to make people take more damage. Commanders Standard (not sure if that’s how it’s spelled) is better than golden vow, but lasts 30 seconds instead of 80. Your greater rune is pretty much going to be Godricks or the HP one for late game. For Aromatic you can use Ironjar for more defense or possibly Bloodboil if you choose to add talisman swapping to your buff routine. With sepekku ash of war and the Lord of bloods exultation talisman, you could use this aromatic after and then swap the talisman out for the buffs. This could possibly not work for spells, or even patched but I don’t think so. Though I may be wrong I haven’t tested. In really late game (levels 350+) I’d just increase STR and DEX to broaden your weapon choices if you get bored with casting and increase casting speed. In earlier game I would just use the minimum END you need, followed by the lower stats I mentioned (40 VIG and MIN) until you can copy my build. If you have anything else feel free to ask or contribute.

If you do have two of them, they’re the best option as the main hand makes night comet do +30% more damage and the second staff is a multiplicative increase iirc.

[@WUZLE]

You can snipe the Caelid deathrite bird with Rock Sling from the giant skull next to it.

Even without the heal it would still be broken, but with the heal it's not even debatable.

[@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514]

Executioner sword is only good when you use all the various buffs and talismans. Sword is not at all the best strength weapon, as it also requires a whole other stat to even use. Terrible pick

[@tkcjazza]

Not really, even if you just pump all stats in strength you’ll do the same numbers I showed in the video - as for using the right talismans, again I had MORE buffs for the giant crusher and it did less damage. The Marais executioner holds up so much more as you go through the NG+’s and is so much more easier/versatile :)

[@Necrowarp_]

@@tkcjazza I disagree, the only time the executioner sword does more dps than the giant crusher or greatsword is with successive attack talismans, godfreys icon, etc. The Greatsword and Giant Crusher require a lot less building around the get to good dps numbers, yes, if the executioner sword is specifically build around it will do much better at running through the game, but for a new game especially greatsword and giant crusher are much better. Especially since Miliciants prosethsis and rotten sword talisman can't be obtained til haligree and you can only get 1 of the 2 per playthrough.

For arcane I know nothing better then bloody helice. Out of all my playthroughs the one in which I was using this sword was one of the easiest because the weapon skill is just stupid. Fast bleed build up, twice more s then regular dodge, enormous damage by itself and if this game had a rating system like DMC I would get SSS in every fight. And I think that most fun weapons are multi-stat ones. Hammer of Marika, Ordovis' greatsword or Maliketh's blade are very good for str-faith, dragon halberd is one of the best str-dex weapons in the game, most of str-int weapons are great.

[@johnofwar0160]

@Jaza97 Likely the answer is "yes" but I am curious. Are these weapons still top dog in your view for a player that does not make use of Flask of wonderous physick or other buffs? Asking because you mention the numbers a couple times and I see your character lit up like an xmas tree. In general would you gear your character differently (armor/weapon/talismans) if gear swapping, potions, and flask were not accessible? Lastly when we talk about "best" is it by a large margin (more than 10%) over other weapon options?

[@tkcjazza]

I mean you’re missing out on a LOT of damage by not using the wonder physick or any other buffs! But, essentially they will still be the best as those buffs will apply to all weapons. As for the gear or talismans, you just need to be adding the ones that buff your attacks the most with whatever weapon you’re using. I.e, if it does magic damage, use magic scorpion charm etc. I think I mentioned it in the video, but these are somewhat opinionated as well as considering the damage outputs but I wouldn’t say the margin is 10%. The beauty of Elden ring is with the right build any weapon can do similar numbers but these weapons are easier to use/obtain and deal the most damage in my experience :) I hope that answers your questions but let me know if there’s anything I missed!

[@johnofwar0160]

@@tkcjazza Thanks and great information! I know I lose a lot of damage not doing these buff rotations but sadly I cannot stand doing them. They take away from the fun for me. Maybe if they had 10-30 minute durations I would find them more palettable. Agree completely and glad the "best" setups are not so much better that they become necessary.

[@tkcjazza]

Executioners sword relies heavily on the consecutive hit talismans like rotted winged insignia and Millicent’s prosthesis - you can also add all the usual buffs along with the thorny cracked tear in your wonder physick to then do more than 5,000 damage each time - if you delve into every stat it scales with rather than just strength it’ll do even more damage :)

With the full L2 combo i do around 6k/7k dmg at most ( level 350) NG+7

[@tkcjazza]

@@mario97kristic31 I mean, that is probably the most you will get with one use on NG+7 - Just where the enemies defences etc will be much higher with each NG+ you go through - For me though, that damage is still enough to deal half or at least 1/3 of every bosses health bar and with bosses like Malenia, they get pinned and then knocked over with the ash of war so you can safely rinse and repeat. If you have other weapons doing more damage more quickly then stick with those I guess :)

[@JesseA22]

I’m a little confused and relatively new to Elden Ring, but I noticed the three weapons you mentioned for Faith max out at B, C and C for Faith. Am I missing something?

[@tkcjazza]

No you’re fine, the scalings obviously help the AR but different weapons under “faith” have different effects. Such as fire, holy, destined death etc. just because the scaling may be good on a weapon doesn’t mean the actual attack is - fire is one of the best damage outputs in the game and mix that with a curve sword that can do like 10 attacks in 2/3 seconds plus have an ash of war with lava left everywhere, you’re doing a ridiculous amount of DPS - it just simply outweighs everything else for damage output :)

@@kingsmorely3697 and you're welcome to give your opinion. I'm sure you realize most of this is subjective. What is best for you may not be best for me. Depending on style of play, entertainment value, and how much you want to commit to a particular build. Personally I hate the bandits curved swords and I always will. So I'm not going to say I think they are the best. Given I've used most of the weapons, what currently holds value for me is what I enjoy. Not to mention their ash of war melts almost everything pretty fast anyway. It's like saying in dark souls that a particular weapon is better because it does more damage in a single hit or has a higher dps that it's better. However if we are both still able to kill the same enemies in the same number of hits or in the same amount of time then it doesn't matter.

With the right build you can do 8k+ damage each time you use the ash of war - I didn’t have the most optimal build for the footage but the deaths poker is literally the most broken weapon the game.

Magma Blades = DS3 Sellsword Twinblades with flame

[@Dzimko-rc2io]

I guess if your main strategy is facetanking, some of this weapons might be the best. Otherwise the only weapon I Might agree with is poker. I would assume that you simply wanted to make this video unique (unexpected weapons) instead of repeating same weapons as in other videos. 1. Str - Try starfists and see how you melt bosses without facetanking. If you don't care about damage taken - lions claw with any big bonk 2. Dex - I haven't played that much with dex but claws/nagakiba with blood flame blade or even fang are better and don't require taking hits from faster bosses. Ash of war is the only good thing about bolt and it's one of the slowest ashes in the game 3. Faith - magma blades are strength weapons. Ash is pretty slow. You are probably better with flame art bandit swords. Also fire is pretty bad in pvp. Best faith weapons are either blasphemous or long horn 4. Int - Poker and DMGS are kind interchangeable. So this one is fine 5. Arcane - there is no other answer than mohg spear. Though occult scavengers might be better

[@tkcjazza]

Yeah, you're right, I do typically run and gun into most fights lol but I did want to objectively look at what I have used in my experience (basically I have used 90% of weapons in the game, but not all of course) and talk about the weapons that just did the most pure damage. I also took into consideration the ease of use of each weapon so that's why weapons like mogh's spear didn't make it in because unless you're behind a wall or have your enemy staggered, most larger enemies (mainly bosses) will still tank the ash of war and interrupt you, as they don't get the knock back effect. Again, that's the whole point of the video - Do the best I can to objectively look at the best weapons for me, but also get the discussion going with yourself about why other weapons are just as good if not better if used correctly :)

[@Dzimko-rc2io]

@@tkcjazza first of all Mohg has hyperarmor. So very few bosses have a guaranteed stagger on all attacks. And I think Lions class is the only ash with infinite hyperarmor. So poleblade, marais and especially bolt suffer as well in such fights. Poleblade also suffers against mobile enemies. Mohg has relatively fast first cast and damage keeps going even if you were knocked down. Very Big damage. So even in theory this doesn't make sense. Flame art bandit swords have around 120 more ar than magma blade with 80 faith. Plus it has more fire which is easier to buff. Then you have scalesword ash if you are fine getting hit. And if you didn't try to facetank damage (which you don't do with bolt of gransax) both bubble stick and Blasphemous are easier to use (range) and deal a lot of damage.

[@diegodrijas663]

Id like to argue that the marais doesnt really answer the question for strength, this is supposed to be the best weapons for each stat, youd have to level arcane with executioner sword which directly affects the scaling and hence feels a better pick for the arcane aspect, not the strength. Yes its a good weapon but its too much of a hybrid to be able to consider it the best strength

[@tkcjazza]

Arcane is the worst scaling on the weapon/weapon art - it’s better to pump more into strength and my latest strength build is proof - even with min arcane but around 60/70 strength it’ll do 5k+ damage on NG+7 but it would do less if you did the same with arcane. I get it’s a hybrid but realistically most physical weapons fall off in damage quite hard whereas this weapon just wrecks everything lol :)

[@Necrowarp_]

Reduvia is just a worse version of a great knife with blood blade on it, you can get it early and can cheese the game with it with little effort, but it's really not that great compared to all the other arcane weapons. And Morgotts cursed sword is good, the main issue is the ash of war costs a shit ton of mp for the full combo, Eleanora's poleblade costs 4 times less mp than the morgotts cursed sword full combo and does way more dps.

[@dorklord1804]

@@Necrowarp_ I completely disagree with Reduvia being worse. Pretty sure it was tested and Reduvia fires faster. But you're supposed to hit them with the blade as well as the projectile for max bleed damage. I'm pretty sure it was already proven to have a higher dps. Don't get me wrong, I love the poleblade. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3Oxc3tpbLimfacsi=tkmooDkYnk1EhEZD I think it's one of the most fun weapons to use. But unless you're spamming the ash of war, I've never encountered an MP issue with the cursed sword. Plus the cursed sword does knock back on the dash before even striking with the blade. Idk, I feel like the cursed sword trivializes more of the enemies that are kind of a pain normally. Such as the black knife assassins. I'll use all 3 of these weapons in a build anyway. But I've found Reduvia and the cursed sword to be amazing in some clutch situations where they out perform the poleblade but I haven't found a moment where the poleblade feels more necessary.

[@Necrowarp_]

@@dorklord1804 reduvia only does more dps at high levels, and blood blade has a hitbox for the weapon as well, it isnt specific to reduvia. Also blood blade costs less fp but the first casting costs a bit of hp which is nothing at high levels. I like it as a backup weapon but it's a terrible primary weapon compared to the other arcane weapons. It's the first weapon I grab in any arcane playthroughs I do but I usually have it as a backup weapon if I need a ranged option and then use something like the bloody helice early on. Reduvia also does trash dps to any enemy immune to bleed since it's normal damage isnt very high without hemorrhage, other arcane weapons still decent base damage allowing them to hold their own way better as a primary weapon.

[@dorklord1804]

@@Necrowarp_ admittedly I played through the game around 12 times but only under two characters. So I don't have a ton of low-level experience. Also I would find it too boring to stick with just one weapon for a full playthrough so I've never used one specific weapon for every single boss. But yes we do this sucks on most bosses that are not susceptible to bleed. But if I had to pick one dagger to take though the entire game it would be Reduvia which I love to dual wield. But I admit it's not the best arcane weapon. I still think that title belongs to margot's cursed sword with the poleblade coming in at a close 2nd. But I'm also used to dual wielding the cursed sword with the bloodhound sword because it's fun. Also comboing wrath of gold with the cursed swords ash or war tends to work out fairly well. My MP is high enough that it doesn't bother me. But end of the day I like the magma blades more than anything (I realize they are not arcane.)

Death's poker is the weapon I disagree the most with on this list. Especially to say that it's the best in the game. Its just not...im on NG +7 and its mid. Especially since 90% of the enemies you fight have high enough poise to ignore the initial windup, and it only did as much damage as it did in the vid because you were up against the avatars which are actually weak to fire damage. Saying that its the best weapon/best int weapon isn't a good take imo. (Tested it out too btw. Rarely got numbers as high as that with max int.)

I don’t know what talismans/buffs you have running but this footage is from NG+6, I’ll take the point that this will do more against enemies like avatars, coz that’s a given, but I literally show the same 6,7,8k+ damage against dragons and goldrick phantom. Also, just where I hate reusing footage, I also had this weapon in another recent vid where it removed half of Malenia’s health bar with one use of the AoW and it still staggers in that initial phase - I assume you’ll know but that ash of war buffs purely off magic/INT so you need the stats/talismans to match :)

Every game has it meta and unfortunatelly in Elden Ring if something have a unique and powerful skill = S tier; if this weapon is OP when powerstance too = SS tier; and if it has some status buildup on top of that = SSSGOD tier; And that's it. You don't need nothing else. Step 1: Just pick your Taker's Flame + every fire dmg buff you can have and Step 2: run from Rykard's Arena to Halightree pressing L2. Step 3: No need for Step 3, just rise and repeat for every "new weapon" you wanna test in your next build. I really tried to enjoy Elden Ring the way I enjoed previous games, but in every build I try I end up choosing to use a L2 or a powerstance "cUz iT EaSy aNd DoEs a lOt Of DMg" (xd ds1 reference for those who don't caught). I'm not saying it's a bad game, I like to play it, I played pretty much the same time I've played Dark Souls and maybe 1/5 of the time I've tried Stealth Archer in Skyrim xd, but I just think Elden Ring lacks something in it's formula... maybe with the DLC we see what it is.

[@tkcjazza]

It is literally the weapon with the most damage output even if you just focus on strength - I know the game is saying strength is a weaker scaling but it’s also the same with weapons like the deaths poker where the worst scaling is INT, but it’s still the best INT weapon in the game because it’s ash of war is broken - I was just fundamentally looking at the damage outputs, Maria’s just simply outdoes any “unga bunga” or S scaling strength weapon due to its DPS :)
