This Frost Dryleaf Arts Build Is VERY Satisfying (Shadow Of The Erdtree)

[@BoomstickGaming]

*I used this build for the majority of my first playthrough of Shadow Of The Erdtree. It's a super fun combat style!* -BoomstickAlex

[@EpicBob123]

In your opinion, would Dane's Footwork provide any advantages as the main weapon for this build, versus the Dryleaf Arts? Secondly, how would you compare Frost infusion with Dryleaf Arts to Bleed? I've been debating back and forth between running one of the other, and I'm not sure if the defense reduction from Frostbite would prove stronger than the re-proccable Blood Loss with Bleed.

[@Death-np9yz]

Great video! Lost it at the slap part lol

[@alephnole7009]

With how low the weapon weight is you could also use the talisman that increases damage at low equip and do a naked kungfu master.

[@Budda-Roll]

How did you get the cold option? It’s not popping up for me

[@asamataua]

You have to have it unlocked. You get it at the academy after beating the wolf in the debate room. The item grants cold affinity ​@@Budda-Roll

[@UnknownUsername131]

I need these and frost on the throwing daggers. Finally, we'll see Batman in Fort Haight.

[@LuisFelipe-pq9lr]

dude thats just genius, finally a use for the trowing dagger

[@RM_3D]

wouldnt it be better to put flame affinity on the daggers to drop the frostbite so you can proc it again?

[@1nOnly-Arsene]

Honestly seems like a fun build, gonna try and pair it up with an Axe of Godfrey build to make a Godfrey/Hoarah Loux inspired build. A big hitting build that’s capable of fast hits!

[@demonkingsparda]

I feel ike the Beast Claw might fit batter for Hoarah Loux

[@bensilbaugh654]

I'm laughing, At 6:10-6:15 he's about to say "That's a summer of the cold dry leaf arts build" but the automated subtitles is saying "That's a summery of the cold dry Le farts build" I'm dead.

[@kielhawkins9529]

The cold ash of war from the lion boss is a good alternative to add to dry leaf arts and get this combo going early.

that is exactly what I did!

The stomp is so strong

[@ThomasSoria]

I've seen a lot of build guides and this has got to be my favorite one yet. Great pacing, editing, and video structure! Also the links in the description are absolutely perfect. Thanks for this.

[@Nostradevus1]

You could offhand the flame perfumer weapon just to reset the frost buildup. Super early find in the DLC too.

[@Omegaman025]

Good tip thanks

[@cryw1092]

There's also that item you can get from the southern grave that allows you to release a cone AoE flame attack for a bit of FP. If you're going for a lightweight set-up, it's a nice option to save a tiny bit of weight and get a bit of crowd control.

[@naazt]

[@morginstjarna]

Love it! Having a lot of fun with Flame Art fisticuffs! Set 'em ablaze!

[@chrisarmstrong8447]

What exactly do you use for your build?

[@zachmiller4575]

This build is awesome! I swapped the dragon crest greatshield for Alexander’s shard and I haven’t tested it yet but in theory you could also swap the blessed dew talisman for militants prosthesis and go full glass cannon especially if you had enough stats to get your faith up enough to cast golden vow and howl of shabriri you’d probably die in a single hit but the raw damage would be glorious

[@sirfrancois8888]

I actually use the dryleaf on my arcane bleed successive hit character just to have a really light golden vow weap9n art on deck without having to spec into faith. Pretty nice.

[@Vinlie]

1:15 Bro got my subscription

[@romy4hire112]

7:19 Dude!! i must've watched the killing blow like over 50x cuz it's the 1st time i ever seen it done, AND IT IS HILARIOUS!! It's looks like the combo done on Death-Adder from old-school golden axe arcade titles been done to it, but with a mike tyson twist. And the way he looks back up at em like "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM"??

[@Bobba_Ross]

An alternative to the Blue dew drop talisman could be the Sacrificial Axe as it gives mana upon each kill as long as it is in your off-hand. It works even if you powerstance and it a good alternative prior to getting Dane's footwork as it allows an extra offensive talisman.

[@TheJulianbobulian]

Throwin this down here because it had confused for a bit, but they achieved their shown stat distribution with the stat boost Rune active.

[@noahwinslow2692]

Bro I just did this build and it’s sooooo insane! I’ve got both the dryleaf arm and footwork. It’s insane the stagger potential

[@GrimReaver]

Honestly, mix Dane’s footwork with those clawed eagle greaves plus dry leaf whirlwind, and you could do some hefty damage, bonus if you mix the claw talisman and raven’s feathers for extra jumping damage on top of kicking.

[@Chisato_Strafe]

Great ... now i can play as Tifa

[@quevon5490]

this is exactly what ive been doing lmaooo

[@drewpytv7179]

I rock a build similar to this and I’ve found out that the shard of Alexander works a tad bit better than the shattered stone talisman for that ash of war

[@chadikhr7258]

u can always use both

[@viewmann200]

Using it now with the bear claws and part of the bear armor set I’m like a red Kung Fu Panda😂

[@ThreeMinuteGaming]

Lol I was literally about to make a guide video and this is exactly the same build I'm running! Super fun, love the fist weapons. I personally swapped between ice and bleed because I couldn't make up my mind.

[@yasielromero8236]

This is so awesome and the perfect path for. What I'm running right now which is the Dryleaf arts with its original weapon arts and I love it, fully charged ultra punch does a lot of damage and the air double kick is super bad ass, I mainly do those and running R2, the R2 double hit comes out so quick. Ihave been infusing them with lighting and using the Electrocharge incantation to boost that lighting damage and is pretty good. My build is mainly Dex and now increasing strength to go for a quality build so Cold I fusion might not be the best for me but I like swapping out i fusions or going pure physical

[@pancon5]

4:00 That's one beautiful armour.

[@climhazzard115]

I'd love to do a full NG playthrough with the Dryleaf arts. I guess I could beat Dane at around SL 80, but getting past shadow keep would be harder. I wonder if you can use the storehouse back section route to get through shadow keep without fighting the hippo? I suppose running down the west rampart might be close to impossible without shadow blessings, 60 vigor, and high fire resist? I suppose I might just try to find someone to give me the Dryleaf arts and get whirlwind once I actually start playing Shadow of the Erdtree. As for the build, I'm kind of leaning towards making it a night sorcerer assassin kind of character. Dual wield staff of loss for night sorceries, and quietly assassinate opponents with martial arts. Aim for 55 intelligence and vigor, use Godfrey's greatrune, maybe favor dex a bit over strength for casting speed, and use Millicent's prosthesis. Should turn out fairly strong at SL 150. EDIT: I suppose the claw weapons should also be quite thematic for such a build. I can just pick up the hook claws and raptor talons and just use them until I'm actually capable of transitioning to the Dryleaf arts.

[@TheMrrccava]

I feel like the weapon art NEEDS to be part of this

[@howtogiraffe9763]

That's so sick to have these fists and have a cool looking weapon as backup or just for fashion

[@rolands.7870]

Slap up! i mean....thumbs up! for that video. As always.... just a good video about gaming and how to enjoy it a bit more :)

[@kielhawkins9529]

Offhanding the sword of Milos or sacrificial axe is also a good idea along with the FP regen talisman. Almost don’t need FP pots.

[@ByAzura]

It took me forever to kill the hiphopanonymous

[@blakleyhyder3758]

Hip hip hop hiphopanonymous

[@masmeert]

You don’t need to beat the main boss of the shadow keep to get to the ruins, only the smaller boss protecting the main entrance of the keep

[@Onibachi]

You don't even need to do that, I found a back entrance into shadow keep all the way from the spawn that doesn't require a single boss. You can run straight to dry leaf whirlwind from spawn.

[@lanisinapi]

Love the video thanks! Can’t wait to try it. Forgive the silly questions but I don’t understand the offhand weapon.. how did he equip 2 dryleafs? You need to get 2 of them? How? Also, how does the offhand weapon work? How do you use it in combat? How do I hit the enemy with it during a combo if I am dual wielding? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Edit: ok I missed the part of the video where it explains where to get the second weapon. But I still don’t understand how exactly to use the offhand. Thanks.

[@marekbabik2791]

You just switch to the offhand weapon, hit a few times and then switch back to main weapon. You equipped both of them and switching based on what u need at given moment. That means offhand weapon. It's secondary weapon.

Make sure you set the cold affinity when you put an ash of war on it. You might've accidentally defaulted to standard or magic instead of cold.

Good stuff man, Ive actually been using Hoaroh Loux's earthshaker art of war with the dry leaf weapon and it's been so much fun

You dont have to beat any boss to get the whirlwind kick ash of war. Simply look up west rampart checkpoint or the location of the dryleaf whirlwind art and they should show you how to get it. You also dont need to beat the last boss to get danes footwork as well it is in the last area where they are located though.

[@marekbabik2791]

Can you get to the Danes footwork in earlier stages of the game ??? Can u get to that location somehow?? Either way thank you for informing. I lost believe that I can retrieve that weapon until finishing the game.

[@Sun-kenn]

@@marekbabik2791 no you can’t get footwork for early stages just the standard you can unless you don’t care about quests then you could go back and finish exploring or fight any bosses you missed

[@KlineStife]

unlocking the area to the footwork unfortunately closes off a lot of npc quests, so if you care about quests i wouldn’t rush through to there.

[@reddj002]

These weapons are ok... what gamers dont tell you is that in order to do insane damage like this... you have to search for as many Scadtree Fragments you can find. Once you're Buffed Up.... then your weapons and Spells will be crazy strong against the enemies in the DLC Not The Base Game.... not all but most of new weapons and Spells are significantly weaker.
