You’re the first video that explained this not only correctly but in a manner that everyone could understand and you kept in under 7 minutes… thank you

S tier video. No bs, straight to the point, and very informative

People underestimate how much leveling your weapon helps early game. For every 5 levels you give your character you should give your weapon at least one.

There are also Weapons you can‘t change with Ashes of war. Unique Weapons like St.Trina‘s Sword and Boss Weapons like Godrick‘s Axe for example.

This is a fantastic video! I've been looking for a clear explanation for how all this works and you nailed it. Thanks so much for the help.

Important to note, each letter represents a range of values so the difference between a letter can theoretically be as low as less than 1% yet the same letter can differ around the 10-15% area. Of course, afaik there is no way to know the exact value of the scaling atm.

Edit: AR calculators show the scaling values, and you can guess the scaling value based on what upgrade level a weapon changes letters which is easy to find on the wiki.

I thing i feel people never bring up is that there are multiple wet stones that will allow you to add any affinity you want on every ash of war. For example, with the black wet stone, you can turn every ash of war into occult affinity, giving the weapon bleed and S scaling in arcane. There is a stone for every affinity type, so if you collect them all, you can literally make any weapon any affinity you want with any ash of war you want. Certain weapons perform stronger with certain affinities, but the option is yours.

Good intro for beginners but there's quite a bit omitted about the nuance of base damage VS scaling. Long story short, some weapons are good for low level cause base damage is high and scaling is low. Some high scaling weapons aren't great at low levels because the base damage tends to be low and they expect crazy high levels to reap benefits. So often weapons with d/e scaling can outperform A/B scaling if you haven't speced much into that stat.
Next lesson, so at what point does a high base damage weapon with low scaling start to lose to a high scaling low base damage weapon? Depends, but this is where soft caps and stat tables come in.

in all my years of playing souls and Sekiro this is the first video I've seen that has explained it for people without sounding confusing cos you clearly understand it yourself rather than guessing your way through a video. well done

Great video dude.
I’m level 155 and 200+ hours in and only now looking up how the scaling works. 😂

[krishendershott]

I just finished my first playthrough, and this is the first video I've seen that explained these mechanics in an easy-to-understand manner. Well done.

[slimshady]

i feel so fuckin dumb not figuring this out by myself

[HNY-B]

Thank you!! I’ve been jumping around from video to video, everyone’s scripts feel the same way the stat pages look. Yours is very clear

[craiganderson]

This was super helpful! Always wondered what those numbers and ashes of war meant

4:29 It doesn't matter whether we make sure to check the stats before applying any Ashes of War because applying an AoW is never permanent.
So many new players to Elden Ring refuse to add Ashes of War to their weapons because they don't want to make a poor choice and fear that it's
permanent. Add whatever AoW you'd like because it's very easy to just switch them out whenever you'd like. Experimenting with them is going to
help you out way more than being afraid to add an AoW to your weapon out of fear that you chose one that sucks or doesn't match your style.

Simple and concise for a complicated game. Thank you for helping me through my first "Souls Game" experience 🙏🏾

[scotthughes]

Love the way you made this quick and very easy to understand, I’ve been trying to explain to a friend how the scaling works and you put it together so easy to understand 🔥🤣

[GnosticJuggernaut.]

Thank you so much. I'm new to Dark souls games and I just got Elden Ring like 3 days ago. I have no idea how this formula worked. You definitely helped me to understand it. Now that I know, it definitely seems fairly simple. So again thank you.

[scruffy]

I just learnt more in 6min 31sec than what I learnt in 631 other Elden Ring videos. Great explanation, great video!
