[RAVajayEN]

I thought he made a mistake when he said 40 but there actually 40 weapon categories that's actually insane

[VivianAckers]

I heavily disagree with every choice on this list. Great video. Subscribed.

[supermalevitality]

shocking that the smithscript daggers won

[willythekid]

my biggest gripe about the throwing daggers is that in the base game there are at least two throwing dagger type weapons that the enemies have and we don't get to use them.
The Sanguine nobles throwable reduvias and the Throwing knife Beastmen. Those would have been so nice.

[malikhittam]

The amount of content in this game is truly astounding. I've beaten this game 20+ times since it's release and I still haven't even tried over half of the weapons. It kinda makes me happy that I can play elden ring for years to come and still have cool new builds to try every time

I fucking love this game

[ArveTheManAndTheMyth]

Always looks so satisfying when other people attack with weapons that have bloodflame blade enchant but when I do it it feels boring

[OGXenos]

Thrusting Shield heavy attacks have active blocking frames for nearly the entire animation. They aren't meant to be fully charged for damage. Once the enemy hits you, you release the charge and hit them, and you'll usually get counter damage added onto it because it's a counter attack.

[watertwisty]

For the hammers the stone club is a sleeper pick imo. Its really fast, easy to use, hits hard and can take infusions nicely.

[DJIronChef]

i like the running 2h heavy of beast claws, it does like 3 or 4 hits

[BraedanTan]

They could never make me hate you Youwy

[angrypotato]

its not that rellana twin blade is weak, its that its not made for lv150 builds, it is for 200+ builds where you can max more than 2 stats its when It start to shine and dealing a lot of damage

[benro]

Great stars is my favorite weapon in the game. For only a little less AR than the most damaging great hammers, you get 2 very useful upsides. Great hammers are also some of the most satisfying weapons to use. They are kinda slow but not so slow that it gets frustrating. I wanted to try more weapons I have not used yet for RL1, but I have already come crawling back to it.

[Jambiiiii]

The warped axe also gets greataxe level bleed build up for some reason. So it really shines on a str/arc build

[screamthesecond]

so many missed opportunities for the new weapon categories...
Throwing blades:
- Mini Crystallian Rings
- Beastmen Throwing Rings
- Curseblade Throwing daggers
Backhand Blades:
- Giant Crystallian Chakrams
- Make Falx a Backhand Blade
Beast claws:
- Runebear Claws

Honorable Mentions
- Vulgar Militiamen Throwing chains/sickles
- Gravewarden/Duelist Throwing chains

[gamedjinni]

PSA: If you haven't played with Knight's Greatsword (or Banished Knight's), give it a try. I've been obsessed for several playthroughs. Just throw Impaling Thrust or whatever you want on it.

[KogasaTatara]

When it's put into perspective like this, it's honestly a lot more forgivable that the new weapon categories only have a few weapons. I still wish we could've gotten another throwing blade or beast claw, but 100 weapons spread through 40 categories is an average of just 2.5 weapons per category. If anything, this means it's surprising we got so many perfume bottles.

[meowmere]

Only miss is not having the Sword Lance as the best heavy thrusting sword. Blood infused it gets better damage than the Bloody Helice (bc of still insane Str scaling) and about 50% more blood loss buildup. You can also use Seppuku on it and spam R1.

[moobo]

I think the godskin peeler/black steel twinblade take the cake for best twinblade because of that juicy 4 hit running attack. It comes out really fast, it’s a running attack so you can easily chain them between enemies from neutral, and hits 4 times allowing you to get the advantages of a power stance jumping attack with just one weapon that can be infused.

Also after you do at least one of these running attacks, every consecutive one is enough to proc the godskin swaddling cloth in just one button. You can put blood tax on the peeler and you have a very effective regen build.

[MarkSAaronEsquiretheth]

lol I power stance the Rose whips. Everything you said was spot on and they’re still hands down the most fun.

[monkfishy]

I largely agree on Greatsword, but damn if Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword isn't also damn good.
