can you get two of them? I have been trying to get another one for an hour but game just refuses to give me second one :/

[@AaronMT]

Recommend the new Oil tear that’s new in the dlc that coats everyone in oil for increased fire damage. It’s dropped by one of the new Furnace Golems, I forget which.

[@Mrmiamiw]

It’s in the ruins where you have to wake up the furnace golem with hefty fire pot

[@uzumakinaruto2285]

Im gonna oil u up

[@deturgio]

@@Mrmiamiw The one you wake up drops the bloodsuckling tear, while theres another lying on the floor to the right of the ruins which drop the oil one

[@Mrmiamiw]

@@deturgio oh u right mb

[@GeorgyZhukov-b6l]

Miyazaki litterally got us oiled up for this dlc

[@nateklempner561]

I'm running the sword and helmet as well. The Winged Serpent Helm is by far the best looking armor piece they added with the dlc.

[@illusionithink5976]

Also you can alter it and remove mesmer's hair replaced by ur own which is nice

[@Specia1Monkey]

​@@illusionithink5976the winged serpent helm isn't mesmers helm

[@GlorytotheImperium]

Ledas armor looks better in my opinion

i feel like armor taste is subjective

[@Snipetonight]

That opening montage was dope af man, well done

[@saintgamer6973]

The insane difference of hp and damage etc from Ng+0 to ng+1 is wild

[@MFMoto-v8g]

Glad to see another post from you! Love the build. I used your spellblade and black flame assassin builds for a long time!

[@leslierobinson8724]

Welcome back. Just before this DLC dropped I went back and looked at your other builds for this game just cause, just really good stuff. Keep doing your thing, thanks for the post. Take care.

[@deltawldr]

Been playing a dex build with lightning slash Zwiehander. I've just always preferred the more basic playstyles and it seems a good fit.

[@jiririnagl302]

Hell yeah i still using your dual great star strenght build😁 not even dlc is match for this deadly combo.Definitely gonna try this one in second playthrough.

[@Dan_Groceries]

Xenoswarm montages don't miss

[@Purpleporkypine]

Excellent Video and Thumbnail. 10/10 dude, impressive

[@stevekalil7988]

Excellent video! I’m guessing that I’ve completed half of the dlc by now, and I’m thinking of switching things up a bit to a fire build..what you’ve done here is perfect, thank you 🔥

[@JayMoney-wq7vn]

Greaves of solitude looks clean and gets your poise up to 60 something and goes with that bottom piece u said dont look good with the fire night armor

[@kanufa]

Bro, is that Gehrman's song in the background? Excellent song choice

[@omuraiku7592]

the best fire knight video out there, thanks

[@pinooftheborealvalley3245]

Am sooo excited to see you here my friend 🎉🎉

[@netherzero2097]

I was using flamberge flame art combo and I started using that sword after I found it I didn't know it was so popular

[@MMHGaming73]

Fire prelate greaves are a bit bulky, but if you can manage the weight it’s not the worst match ever

[@drudge5268]

Gauntlets of Solitude and Rakshasa Greaves hits 52 poise and looks good IMO.

[@fishnutz5196]

For fashion try out Radahns legs bro the gold and red match well and the poise is solid still

[@WreakHvok]

Let’s Go!!! My man Xeno gotta get in this!!

[@the-KGB]

Xeno your vids make me fangirl SO hard! You’re THE BEST EVER!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@kelmirosue3251]

I plan to use a similar build but using Milady instead of Fire Greatsword

[@nihilisticpoet]

I was legit looking for a fire knight inspired build, curious you went with the FTH route. I was looking for a STR/FTH but this suits me just fine given the fun incantations we got!

[@xRealnez]

This build is so much fun, i do it in my ng+1 and in ng+2 i do thunder deathknight run

[@jasongabel1863]

For fashion and high poise, the new sentinel armour works every well

[@bboy458]

omg, a Xeno vid

[@Arkyth0]

Spent all day making the dragon form build and ended up hating it. Def gonna try this tomorrow looks sick. Plz make more build vids

[@joshkinney1117]

That gameplay was raw 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@prodkardiak]

omg he’s back

[@SuperSjaak11]

Helm looks great with fingerprint armor chest piece❤

[@GD_GURT]

What other weapons/talismans do you like to pair with this besides the Misericorde?

[@cradleoffilth691]

I enjoyed this build tried it out today but had to switch back to my guts build cause i was getting owned by Messmir might go back to it after i get some more tears though

[@AkrabSouls]

Welcome back to Elden Ring content, let's go !

[@kaizerdxd]

Since I only use Fire Serpent and messmer's orb I use Fire Knight's seal

[@bravealboz3364]

Could u make a Dragon-Hunter Katana build the Xeno way? Been here since the Nioh builds, great work

[@Xenoswarm]

I was actually considering Dragon Hunter, so maybe!

[@VSN-wb2ly]

I don't really like collosal sword but this one is exception

[@Myron90]

I use the clawmark seal for no reason in particular. Should i use the godslayer instead?

[@RH-vb1si]

Does it just come down to personal preference between using flame spear or skewer? Do you miss not having many points in Strength for when you don't use the Ash of War?

[@drudge5268]

On flame art, the weapon AR scales with a B in faith and an E in Str, so most of your damage with regular attacks will come from your 70-80 faith.

[@fraserhussey6189]

Song at the start ?

[@mihawk2491]

i hope they dont nerf this, im tryna run this build in my first ng+ run

[@kristijanstefanovic5164]

Whats the intro song omg :P

[@Bzk--]

I see you have a Misericorde equipped too, i'm assuming you use it for crits when you stagger, what's the ash of war / infusion and does it matter?

[@Xenoswarm]

Yes for crits, infusion whatever scales best, in this case Flame Art. For Ash of War, I usually put utility like Parry, and sometimes a Frost or Poison depending on if that's more important than criticals.

[@wilfred5820]

Use gauntlets and greaves of solitude instead of the tree sentinel armor. It matches very well with the fire knight chest and wing serpent helm

[@Xenoswarm]

Yeah it's better poise but it's also heavier. That and everyone is using Solitude, just because it's so efficient.

[@reddevilkev]

Rakasha armor with the serpent helm as I run it is 🔥🔥

[@Xenoswarm]

@@reddevilkev Rakasha armor is one of the best gear related additions to the DLC

[@kraxusgaming9483]

oh yea thats my fit it looks great

[@reddevilkev]

@@kraxusgaming9483 I actually just realized the armor set greatly increases damage taken 😂 no wonder it was a challenge on the other hand playing so long with this set makes me a pretty good player nonetheless

[@geamar2465]

What music are you using?

[@EXO_SPICES]

is there any changes to do if I'm max level BTW great build and a great vid:)

[@TheUnknownD]

I love this build! :D

[@spacetime4158]

i have a mix of 50 strng 60 faith and 25 endurance is this optimal?

[@santalla03]

What’s the song for the intro? It’s killer

[@lordcommissar7813]

My problem is I can't decide what ash of war to use between flame spear and flame skewer. Anyone got any arguments for one over the other?

[@andrewolson8873]

I like the ranged option of flame spear. It seems to shoot out that projectile which is cool. The other one is basically giants hunt with fire. Which is cool too but I think the ranged one is cooler.

[@begango630]

So two fire knight swords?

[@3flank424]

your str is 15.. but the weapon requires 22 whats up with that?

[@samxie9048]

Two handing it multiplies ur strength by 1.5

[@3flank424]

@@samxie9048 wow all this time… cheers

[@ezlla4222]

If im level 250 , where i should spend the 100 extra levels ?

[@Xenoswarm]

At that point it's personal preference really. If I was anywhere between NG+ 1-5 I'd put those points into utility (Stamina, Mind). Higher than NG+5 i'd probably invest in reaching my damage caps.

[@dioxyde0]

aren't you better off using a different talisman and incants like lightning spear or black flame? with 70 faith you'd expect more versatility

[@Xenoswarm]

I mean, yeah. It's just a thematic template based around the Fire Knight. I did say I use Godslayer's seal specifically because I like to use Black Flame incantations :)

[@dioxyde0]

@@Xenoswarm thanks :) does this look ok for a Depraved 150? VIG 60 MIN 21 END 25 STR 15 DEX 18 INT 10 FTH 70 ARC 10

[@Xenoswarm]

@@dioxyde0 if you're wearing lighter armor (or sacrificing a talisman for Arsenal Jar) and can manage the smaller stamina bar, then it looks all good!

R1 R1 is no longer a true combo, was a bug

Finally a faith spellsword

[@kchiao1]

Been running this build most of the DLC and loving it. Have been struggling on the last boss fight (scadutree level 16). Any advice other than get good? (Lol) For instance, is it even possible to get off a chatged flame spear?

[@Xenoswarm]

Flame Spear is not a good idea for that fight. Then again not much is. You have to play perfect which is why most people deviate from their build to run a parry or guard/poke DoT build. I had more success with Flame Skewer.

[@kchiao1]

@@Xenoswarm thanks. time to go back to the good ole shield poke :)

[@Xenoswarm]

@@kchiao1 Fingerprint Shield and Antspur Rapier definitely seems to be the way to get it done without much fuss

[@Jarvolo27]

[@Hadeshi.]

Mesmer Helm also increases Fire Knight's ashes, right?

[@Xenoswarm]

It does, however it does less. As the Mesmer Helm "slightly" increases both Mesmer incantations and Fire Knight skills.

[@kestononline]

You mentioned something about hitting 50 poise being related to damage, can you elaborate on this?

[@Xenoswarm]

Hm, not sure I said anything in relation to damage, but 51 poise is just the minimum breakpoint to aim for.

[@kestononline]

@@Xenoswarm Oh I see. Well then on the topic of fashion, the Drake Knight Greaves fits the aesthetic of the Fire Knight Armor well. It has some red bits and the thigh bits don’t clash with the chest area.

[@Xenoswarm]

@@kestononline yeah they do look good, but with those, the Fire Knight chest, and the Winged Serpent Helm, there are no gloves that can push you over 51 poise, hence the challenge :D

[@ryzengamer2627]

Nice my friend:) ☺️🙏

[@mrozon1250]

What is the dagger for you have equipped?

[@Xenoswarm]

Some enemies give you more time to do your critical attack when you break their stance. In those situations I switch to Misericorde Dagger for extra Critical damage

[@aceosu7852]

Would this be better power stanced or is just one better? Cant make my mind up

[@Xenoswarm]

Well it would be less about which is better and come down to which you prefer as they would essentially be different builds. The 2 handed moveset is a huge factor as to why I play the weapon to begin with. Power stance would also require a lot more investment in stamina, strength and talisman sacrifices

[@VSN-wb2ly]

Power stance collosal sword is not good against fast bosses, which is basically almost every bosses

[@kevingudelj8616]

Can u give the name of the song u used in the intro plz ?

[@Xenoswarm]

Cryptomancer - Cyberpunk

[@ragingtarzan4856]

Does the chest increase flame skewer too?

[@Xenoswarm]

No, though it does benefit Mesmer incantations which is nice if you wanna run Fire Serpent incantation etc

[@saiboticrage8581]

Works on ng4? And what if i get hit and lose the ritual sword effect?

[@saiboticrage8581]

@@Sinsofcarolina ha nice 🤣

[@aronaugsburg2166]

So has flame art higher AR than fire?

[@Xenoswarm]

Yes, this is a faith main stat build. Flame Art is B scaling Faith. Fire is for Strength.

[@lolSooner]

use fireknight great sword, win game.

[@JSteelz]

Is this still viable after recent patch?

[@WeebleFox]

I believe so, it was mainly broken in pvp

[@JSteelz]

@@WeebleFox yeah still rocks in pve :)

[@Xenoswarm]

I believe they've nerfed the true combo potential, which only affects PvP (though I'm not sure because they only stated they addressed a bug, and we assume that is what the bug was).

[@leyang.6]

It’s actually does more damage now with Flame art affinity

[@deviiancee765]

Lions claw works really well with this build as well

[@reddevilkev]

You have to use the fire knight seal my friend thank me later

[@Xenoswarm]

Fire Knight is for Mesmer Incantations, and it has weird stat scaling. But i'd definitely consider it for a Mesmer build

[@MakioGoHardio]

Penetrator type build.

[@vScpe]

Another low Char Build shit at 150-180 LvL 😂😂😂😂

[@lReb]

How are you running NG2/3 when you have 4 magic scorpion talismans? Can personally vouch that this build slaps, would recommend, going Turtle and Defence talismans alongside Alexander's and two handing though, damage already feels suffient with ashes of wars and buffs active.

[@Xenoswarm]

The other talismans came from trading. I'd stock up on meta items to trade faster without having to reload a save between each trade.
