I was about to download the game, thanks for the warning.

I can’t vibe with its moveset. Nothing chains into anything, it has atrocious pauses between hits. Ruins or Zwei are much more usable.

yeah, that happened...

Kek I just started a 2 handed ultra sword play through.
Yes, I WILL beat the game

has it been buffed? haven't played in like a month

If this was done at any point during your playthrough, then YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME ya fucking jabroni

yeah colossal weapons/swords had their swing speed and recovery time improved

It did, things beyond jump attacks for colossal weapons are now viable, and its stability trumps over most medium shields.

Ruins has the exact same moveset faggot. Anyways it looks like you switched weapons during your playthrough. Hate to tell you but YOU DID NOT BEAT THE GAME

I didn't beat the game, but I saw the credits 3 times and I'm satisfied!

It doesn’t, faggot, Ruis has vertical R2, GS has horizontal slow as fuck sweeps. Try chaining R2 into R1 with le guts memesword and tell me how it feels.

>posting the tiny fextrashit version
Also, how did they make the berserk ripoff sword look cooler than the actual berserk sword? I fucking love this thing

thats not a sword! Thats more like a hunk of iron

>falling for lies
Even the best dex weapons in the game are better with a str infusion because str scaling is fucking stupid strong

I like the R2 baseball swing on the GS desu

What happened to SCP?

zwei has higher damage keen vs heavy

It died because of a complete lack of any moderation or curation
But I fail to see what that has to do with this thread

Sweeps are superior, but damn the recovery is painful on the GS version.

CLANG

I personally know Ruis you faggot and that motherfucker cant even afford dominos let alone a vertical R2. So i know for a fact that you're lying.

I beat the game.

heavy at 60 str 11 dex
641 1h-718 2h
keen at 19 str 60 dex
664 1h-673 2h

This isn't even counting how many more weapons get more AR with STR twohanded or Fire infusion + FGMS or Clawmark seal allowing for some great incants and incant damage due to STR scaling at extremely low FTH

yes, yes i did, i have the achievements to prove it. i really like the running 2 handed r1 that drags it along the ground, it's very cinematic and satisfying to 1 shot things with it. i always play souls games with colossal swords, it's just what i do. i have never seen or read berserk.

Zwei gets B scaling in heavy/keen for str/dex, respectively, C/C/C for cold C/E for fire, E/C for lightning, and B/B for quality.

It's in the shitty middleground of excelling at neither BUT has a great moveset, great base damage, has low requirements, and is the lightest colossal sword.

That thing stops feeling good around endgame like most weapons, I have a +25 with 70 strength and it wasn't doing amazing damage against Mohg.

Agree. Very sexy. That fuller groove down the center is just begging to be filled up with my thick frothy ejaculate.

Why is every ultra in the game besides the greatsword and zwei so short. I wanted to use this for aesthetics but it it just looks silly when the character actually wields it.

and at 80 it's 706/755 for heavy and 769/777 keen
It's the worst UGS choice for a strength build, sadly. Look how they massacred my boy

Mohg is built for Big Colossal Dick

Attached: mogh.webm (960x540, 2.83M)

I was equally disappointed when I finally got my hands on the watchCAT greatsword, which they don't even fucking allow you to get until the very end of the goddamn game. And it turned out to both be shorter AND less powerful than the guts greatsword.
so... what's the fucking point?

Did I beat the game?

That’s kinda pathetic. At least it’s fun.

My str build uses all the infusable UGS with different ashes on each for swappan
Must be pre-patch desu
I fucking deleted Mogh at 125 with that thing, Lion's Claw as well
based swordsexual
They look a little short but in practice they feel fine to use

her ass is phat!

that's why my character is fatrolling

Zweihander is the budget colossal for strengthlets who don't want to go all in with strength early, it serves that purpose.

Did you spam its skill?

>yeah colossal weapons/swords had their swing speed and recovery time improved
Not enough to keep up with spastics like Maliketh and Morgott though. Just enough to let you dunk on shitter mobs that you would have easily killed anyway, but not enough to be competitive with the bosses that were already giving you trouble.

You're missing out on like 60-20 AR for a build that's generally infinitely better than pure Dex at lower levels
You could also infuse it with Fire which gets more AR and full benefit from FGMS
And OFC it's gonna deal the least damage if it's the lightest, that's balancing
Maliketh is built around being parried and also dies in like 6 hits
Morgott has pretty pitiful damage and health compared to his first encounter and also doesn't have much health
Both fights I found extremely easy with post-patch colossals

what the absolute fuck. I'm mad as hell because I had a hell of a time trying to beat mohg on my strength playthrough. I just felt constantly too slow and out of stamina what with all the fucking period blood all over the stage fucking me up.

>fine to use
I suppose, but it's a question of pros vs cons. If it's
>shorter
>lower AR
>harder to find / late game pickup
then why ever bother using it over the guts sword? I hate that watchcat sword has nothing going for it. It's literally outclassed in every single way. There's not a single decent reason to use it. Which sucks, I don't understand why they couldn't have given it a unique R2 or given it higher damage to make up for the shorter range, SOMETHING to give people a reason to use it.

More importantly, why are 3/4ths of the armor sets in this game rusted and torn up as fuck with no way to repair them? Shit like the Exile Set would look cool as hell if they didn't have giant holes in them. It's always been this way but it feels worse this time, I've been playing the game for almost 40 hours and I haven't found a single outfit that is both actual armor and doesn't make my character look like a bum.

It's fine on Morgott I destroyed his ass before he could even finish the sentence about puking on the thrones

Only when the boss wouldn't let me attack because his follow up attacks were faster than my own attack recoveries. Fuck godskin retards and fuck Malenia btw.

webm is kind of a meme, I needed to stack buffs to hell and back in order to do that because it's a level 1 character
something not a lot of people know is that mohg actually takes more damage when you hit his head, and lion's claw can reach it

>Lion's Claw
Giant Hunt is a monstrosity on it as well.

For me? It's the Godslayer

I agree and also hate every cool helm with the face-covering part up, I love the Veteran's helm and Scaled helm but wish I didn't have to see the stupid PC's face in it.

remember when npc summons meant you didn't beat the boss? now elden ring is literally built around npc summons, so awful. elden ring completely missed the point of dark souls

Elden Ring has by far the worst armor in the series. Almost everything is so goofy looking, and the standard knight set feels like basically the only proper knight armor in the whole game.

And that's not to mention how poise works. Poise actually matters in this game, but you need ridiculously high numbers for it to make a difference. And there are only a few pieces of armor that even get you to the necessary targets. That's why you see everyone running around in shit like the fat bowling ball armor or bull goat or veterans. It's not even just about which is most efficient. It's that there literally are no other choices available that you can even combine to get enough while also having a headpiece option.

was satisfying going through the whole game with the starting dual scimitars

Yes I did

I took the swapperpill honestly, basically copied Saint Riot's str invader. I use
>Zwei with Lion's Claw (because it lacks slams)
>GS with Giant-Hunt (because it lacks stabs)
>Watchdog with Earthshaker (because it just feels right)
>Troll's with Troll's Roar (lol lmao xd)
>Golem Halberd with Prelate's Charge (best colossal range)
I move between weapons very often for different situations.
The Watchdog GS just looks cool.
Exactly, yeah.

Fun game

Morgott with a colossal weapon is 100% a dps race. If you don't have like a +9 somber colossal weapon when you fight him, the intended strategy is to just come back and try again later because he will not let you swing without trading hits and so your only option is to make sure he dies before you in the unga bunga race.

Fighting malenia right now with a guts sword. Guard-breaks are basically pointless because she recovers from the guard-break animation faster than I recover from my attack animation. Every time I'm able to get in position to try to get the riposte, the window is over and I just get absolutely rekt. So now I just can't go for any of them. I don't understand why they made the riposte window so damn small

There's less than a handful of bosses that are any trouble 1 on 1 all of them are really late in the game

I fought morgott on my lvl1 colossal sword character and it was a truly miserable experience going for a hitless run
he took basically twice the amount of time as the other bosses because 80% of his "openings" are fakeouts and I just had to bait the sword blender attack over and over again. fuck him

try to parry her, you have to do it multiple times though to get a critical window.
Or powerstance colossal swords and summon a mimic to keep her staggered with your jumping attacks

I fought morgott with a +15 giant crusher at SL70, post-patch. It's absolutely not a DPS race. I mainly focused on spacing and stamina management and then blocking certain hits and doing guard counters for massive damage. And of course jump attacks during obvious openings. Wasn't difficult whatsoever.

afaik he's got the most fucked up parry timings and still needs 3 parries as well, morgott is designed to make you suffer and that's a good thing, in any other from soft game it would have probably ended with him.

They stagger bosses good all it takes is a few big hits from lion's claw or something similar to end him

It's a really cool looking sword and I love the fast roll stab on it.
Shame the weapon art sucks ass. It's so slow to charge that it just becomes a liability and the slightest hit will interrrupt it.

Make a setting appropriate looking PC?

Maybe it's not a souls game?
It's Elden Ring, not Dark Souls IV.
And grow up

parrying seems like a total meme. Parrying has always been a high risk/reward thing, but saying you need to do it 3 times in a row, when even a mistiming could spell total disaster, just makes it not worth it. Especially when the riposte damage honestly isn't all that much more than something like a jumping R2

>summon a mimic
I'm trying to beat her with a straight-up strength build. No summons/co-op to trivialize it. No bleed/frost either because I've done that before

I mean, I guess that's one way to look at it. Trading with colossals is kind of part of the whole package, I wouldn't recommend it for a hitless run. I had estus to spare when I killed him
I did that with dual regular GS the first time I solo'd her, but now that I have the moveset down pat and colossal speed has been buffed I need to go back and try it with a colossal.
>elden ring is literally built around npc summons, so awful

I mean, you can waddle around the perimeter of his attack range and wait for his AI to do the ONE attack that lets you attack without getting dunked on by the follow up, or you can just pick up a faster weapon. ER makes you feel legit gimped using a colossal weapon in a lot of fights.

>Flaming Strike is such an underrated weapon art.
I love it on my Nightrider's Glaive, great speed, great poise damage, decent short-lived buff, and gets a B scaling for fire which only S-strength scaling weapons get as far as I know.
