Honestly surprised you never mentioned the running r2. Running r2 is just... so beautiful.

[Quarterspine]

I'd love to see spears next, but fist weapons wouldn't be a bad choice.

[JustCallMeNorth]

A "daggers breakdown" video next would be awesome! There are so many to choose from that I don't know what to go with for my build

[akito]

Why is 'not found until Altus Plateau' a negative? You can literally walk there without fighting anything as soon as you start the game.. that's a positive in my book :D

[nicolobraghini]

I'd love to see Dynasty's Finesse as an Ash of War and equip it on all thrusting swords. It's so good yet limited to the helice

[loopholesloopy]

I used the big epee in my first ever run when elden ring came out with a medium shield but quickly moved to a greatsheild, it was a very fun and rewarding run, as a knight unfamiliar with the game being able to barricade shield and poke enemies to death from safety was immensely useful. Such a great lucky find at the start of the game.

I would be very interested in seeing a dagger overview. Daggers are cool, they're definitely not OP, but they all have unique identities and quirks that separate them from each other.

I’m currently doing a DEX/lightning build and dual wielding the Dragon King’s Cragblade w/ lighting infused Godskin Stitcher. It has been excellent. Lighting scorpion charm + Millicent’s prosthesis + Sword Insignia and then Thorny Cracked tear + Lighting Cracked tear. Really loving this combo, but it is difficult to manage stamina in NG. This might be my favorite weapon type.

cragblade lends itself very well to hybrid builds. if you go to 50 dex and 46 faith you can use all the lightning incantations which are buffed by the lightning shroud cracked tear that also boosts the damage from the weapon itself. due to the dex you can also use another weapon like bolt of gransax for longer distances while using the cragblade to close up from medium distance into short range where you can continue to use it's r1 attacks or cast incantations like fortissax's lightning spear or ancient dragon's lightning strike if you're fighting enemies like dragons and magma wyrms or bosses like elden beast, godskin duo, godrick, gargoyles, dragonkin, maliketh and fire giant

[TacoMasterX]

Love these videos hoping to see one with daggers

[Ceece]

I did a duel wield cold infused build with the Great Epee and GodStitcher. It was great when I paired it with sorceries. The build ended up becoming a hybrid Spell Sword build with dueling Heavy Thrusting Swords that where cold infused and Ranni’s Dark Moon for heavy damage.

I would open with Ranni’s Dark Moon and follow with the swords. The idea was to trigger cold quickly and punish any time the enemy backed off with sorceries.

[sanguiniusszuiriel]

The information in this video, when applied to other weapons in other categories in regards to how and when to use different attacks or feints, makes me appreciate curved swords more as well. Great video

[joshhayes]

Great video - I'm swapping the Bloody Helice into my current Arcane focused build to see how it does. So far it's pretty cool, and I love that the AoW is a dodge, but learning how to use it properly comes with time.

[katsu]

surprised it wasnt mentioned that the Great Epee's charged R2 staggers most bosses with a couple hits

[austinbridges]

Put Scholar's Shield on Fingerprint shield, then buff your block and stamina, you can hide behind it and light attack for all the bleed.

[LaidSleep]

Does anyone else play Elden Ring for Hours while this guy is on in the background? He's a effing encyclopedia and THE guide on all things Elden Ring.

[rossalbane]

It’s finally time. Tell us why SHIELDS are the best weapons in elden ring

[franciscodetonne]

I was wondering when you are gonna release the next video in the series, cheers!

Heavy thrusting swords, they're like spears, but swords.

[forgefatherclaw]

I spent hours trying to learn how to parry with the crucible knight at Rykards Arena.
In the middle of it, I switched to practicing my Dynast Finesse. Oh boi, haven't gotten hit in a very long time.
I do have a shit ton of stamina though.

[AegisErrant]

Daggers would be a fun video, they don't get much love but used one to learn parrying and it was a blast
