An excellent weapon you wouldn't expect is the fungus encrusted pickaxe, which drops from miners in the sunless skein. Fully upgraded it scales with an A- in both radiance and inferno, deals a lot of wither damage AND has 150 poison buildup natively. Dual wield them, buff them with umbral weapon and you'll deal massive wither damage while the poison ticks converts the wither damage into real damage. Absolutely disgusting.
@royrogers4959 ай бұрын
Yep, I've got two level 10 fungus pickaxes. Iirc they get s scaling at level 10. I run the bloodbane ring so all poison build up also does bleed buildup simultaneously. It's great fun!

Heads up, if yall get the Atrophy pendant, it allows you to use your health to cast umbral spells instead of mana. Each time you use a umbral spell you take a little bit of wither damage, that health you get right back when the spell its the target. So essentially it allows you to infinte cast

@@SpliffyHusk Even better, the mist is an aoe denile or aura like the radiant heal. It gurantees whatever comes next if they pursue will hurt and the crazy thing is u can spam it long enough you can force people in it. Along with that misery missle is the best missle hands down for a ticking poison like wither that can straight up kill someone based on spellpower people dont know how much dmg they take off beat with it. To add the ice shard spell that cost 80 is the best bait in game for pvp if not crowd control for umbral. If people have the mind to rush u you can spam 2 with decent spell power and if they attack u they will guranteed die. It also has decent range just to give u time to rotate spells like misery of fog. The best part of fog and mist is they smokescreen what ur doing and someone dodging from the ice wont see missle. All that said lets add to the amount of items umbral builds get. My fav being the spawn orbs on kill for best aoe damage or the use withered health for casting for spell spam. Very op class that people def are not playing right. The only struggle i have is to radiant spammers with lag unless iylts 1v1 and they have a one shot spell i dont dodge.

@TeHPHoBoS99910 ай бұрын
Personally, I'd put Latimer at #1, but that's only because of how it makes the umbral caster build viable alongside the pendant of atrophy. Using umbral sorceries without the pendant of atrophy, Barrage is definitely #1. A tip for anyone using Latimer (and Barrage): don't lock on. Aim at the ground for nearby enemies. Latimer also has extraordinary range and knockback, so you can knock bucketheads off the perch from a mile away. Oh, and Latimer's AoE pierces walls. But if you wanna be an umbral build, Latimer absolutely IS your primary weapon. It'll always refund all your atrophy wither health, even if you've been dumb and spent 100% of your health. Forget using your melee weapons: I run double bloodlust plus lifesteal runes because the swords and runes apply to sorcery kills. Being in the Umbral is like being surrounded by health packs, and the spear will usually oneshot smaller enemies if you've been upgrading your catalyst. In coop, you are a mobile tactical nuke. For anything of moderate health... barrage under their feet and watch their health chunk. It is the highest DPS spell in the entire game. Bosses take seconds, even in NG+. You just gotta not lock on.

@TeHPHoBoS99910 ай бұрын
@@Tacidful To be honest, the entire build is literally just Latimer's Javelin, Barrage of Echoes, and Pendant of Atrophy. I'd recommend getting rad & inf to 25 to start out, then just distribute your levels between rad, inf, vit, and end. Wear heavy armor, use the Achorite's ring, probably the Barrage Root ring too. Basically any catalyst will work but I use Lost Berescu. Use bloodlust or the runes that give you hp on kill or any weapon that gives a passive effect, because you won't be using it. And that's it. Sit back, disregard mana, disregard lock-on, and throw spears. On bosses or large enemies, use barrage on their feet. It is, quite literally, the simplest build in the entire game.

This is off topic but I really wish this game got more recognition. Everyone’s always saying Elden Ring this Elden Ring that. Ok yea it’s a good game but it’s extremely overrated. Lord’s of the Fallen is the only Souls like game that ever caught my attention. I tried the Lies of P demo but was like ehhh it’s cool and all but I’m not gonna put time into this game. Lords of the Fallen is underrated and in my opinion has cooler stuff than Elden Ring.

The problem this game need you to have high end PC. In today situation not every PC gamer want to purchase over expensive GPU and CPU for Unreal engine 5. Even so this game has a lot of performance problem on high end PC and console. If you have limited budget of course you choose to buy elden ring from a famous developer. Elden ring also has better level design, enemies variety, better bosses fight, longer gameplay and better optimitization (elden ring can run in minimum 4th generation CPU and gpu with 4 gb of VRAM).
