hard mode: no katanas
What's is your favorite weapon in Elden Ring?
Ian Scott
Adam Torres
all i want is to powerstance it bros
Noah Moore
Urumi
Nathan King
In the end, I never decided on one. After using a weapon for so long I got bored of it and moved on to another. I have like 6 +10/+25 different weapons, all perfectly usable, that I'm just not using cause they're boring now.
Jaxson Morris
Pure casters are way more fun than any weapon. But Banished Knight's Halberd if I had to choose.
Christopher Long
Mein negger, this and the big hammer you get from the beast cleric are my loadout for my first character
Brayden Peterson
Dual wielding cleanrot swords. Blood in the right hand, fire/lightning/quality in the left.
Adrian Bell
you CLEARLY haven't done a pure str build
absolute kino selection of weapon arts & giant ass weapons that are fun to use
Luis Thomas
Jeremiah Adams
The R2 on the Giant-Crusher is legitimately one of the dumbest fucking R2s I've ever seen. It's like kinda funny and cool at first, but it has no use because of how slow and shitty it is.
Aiden Anderson
pew pew
Jordan Martin
honestly such a great str weapon mind the low range - blood buildup on a "bonk "weapon feels a bit broken. still confused how niggers on this site were saying str builds were underpowered and shit.
Nicholas Martin

I mean yeah it works but it's boring.
Nolan Hughes
i mean you can reduce any build to the most boring combination of l1 r1 dodge inputs in that way

great caster build you got there bro
Tyler Morris
Whip+enchanting, slapping skeletons with holy enchant makes me feel like a Belmont.
Henry Wilson
i only wish there was an iron virgin ash of war where you just spin them around like a fucking asshole
Wyatt Lopez
I did ant it was complete fucking trash. Some of the enemies literally punish you after getting staggered before you can even roll and you do LESS damage than any melee faggot with some bleed on. It's not worth it even to stunlock enemies because jump attacks do it with any fucking weapon regardless. Playing STR in ER made me feel almost more gimped than playing STR in DS2 and not knowing that you needed adaptability for rolls to be invincible.
Nolan Rodriguez
Absolutely kino taste
Liam Williams
Shamshir
Jace Moore
Eh, honestly the bleed almost never procs due to whatever you're unga-bunga-ing dying too quickly or big enough to make you retreat ans causing you to lose the buildup
But yeah, people saying str sucks are smoking too much glintstone
Adam Martinez
I like rapiers
Elijah Perez
I love how the improved textures and lighting allow ER characters to be grosser than ever. Nice drip, user.
Angel Wilson
I love this axe.
Owen Campbell
The difference is that strength, mainly colossals are trash. If you play co-op your damage gets even more nerfed on top of that.
Adrian Green
bro i wanted to use giant crusher but i cant. it covers 60% of the screen when in your main hand
Matthew Hall
I have 5 as of right now:
-Giant Crusher
-Rusted Anchor
-Butchering Knife
-Flamberge
-Heavy Great Epee
Jackson Torres
I'm also a fan of the Crag Sword.
Nathaniel Rogers
>str build
str is a joke in this game
Jaxon Johnson
For me its Keen NSS + Brass Shield
Henry Davis
Because I play GS in Monster Hunter, nothing feels nearly as special as actually spacing and anticipating the enemy and getting a fully charged R2 on them. Especially with the Axe Talisman.
The follow up is dumb, however. I don't use that at all.
Nathan Thomas
Leo Martinez
>biggest, heaviest axe in the game
>it's a fucking dex weapon
>still requires 30 STR
Why does From do this to me?
Carson Barnes
All builds are a joke in this game, anything can be turned into OP nonsense that invalidates every boss.
Tyler Clark
i made these to hold me over until i found a "good" STR weapon and haven't used anything else
Julian Howard
>pve
lol
lmao even
Connor Young
its name and shape has changed but it's still the reinforced club, the strongest weapon in every game it has been in.
Gabriel Allen
I'm enjoying MLGS and the Astel's wing. Astel's R2 seems to make stagger/riposte opportunities happen more easily. It felt great using it on Mohg after learning him
Julian Thomas
it LOOKS SO FUCKING SHITTY WHY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nolan Thompson
The big ass Axe from the Gladiator in the Eldtree. Was a pain to farm.
William Hughes
>PvP
Right back at'cha, chump
Benjamin Ortiz
Misericorde and parry dagger or staff
this is also close and is my backup for certain things
Adrian Baker
grug smart grug put nails on his stick
Nathaniel Torres
Big glowing baseball bat
Luke Nguyen
Andrew Hill
I just really love the brutal aesthetics of the dismounter, as much as a basic bitch weapon it might be considered. Powerstanced is great , but two handing is just where its at for me.
Jaxon Moore
>dex
How? I made mine scale with strenght.
Joseph Hall
This is also the reason why Bloodborne and Sekiro have been the worst From games.
Gavin Miller
>unironically liking the twink/gankfests that is elden ring pvp
Adam Allen
>hard mode: no katanas
>implying Yea Forums ever liked katanas to begin with
actual hardmode: no str weapons.
Dominic Scott
that thing pushed my shit in the first couple days of playing.
Isaac Bennett
Your image directly conflicts with what you're saying, you know that right?
Hudson Ross
Bastard Stars. They look cool and have cool moves.
Xavier Walker
Sure you can do that but it scales better with dex or quality
Jace Ward
Been loving a lot of weapons since launch, but lately it's this thing so goddamn much. Amazing running attack for closing huge distances and punishing sippers, and a WA that feels anti-meta as fuck while being fun to use and versatile.
Also it looks cool and I like spirals.
Liam Robinson
its the bane of early levels exploration. Been there as well brother.
Wyatt Foster
Golden halberd. Easy to get early, makes nice sound, looks big and cool. Is very good early, not broken late, so you can still enjoy the game without roflstomping it.
I love golden halberd.
Gavin Cook
I mean... if you want a STR colossal, the Giant Crusher has the highest pure melee AR in the game so you have that. It also deals Strike damage so it's the best of its type, too.
It's too bad this game doesn't have transmogrification, then most would be pleased
Kayden Ramirez
It's disgusting in PvP too
William Moore
Yeah but it's not a sickass battle axe
Benjamin Butler
It is you use your imagination and squint your eyes
Brandon Roberts
is the invader a twink here or are they just viglets?
Joseph Walker
They all had like 400-500 HP and that's in Limgrave so I'm leaning twink
John Clark
>lucklets will NEVER have the best straight sword
>disdainforplebs.jpg
Brody Lee
Franco had the highest vig at ~700
The rest are viglets
The trouble is that the weapons used here are both blood affinity, so they stack it quite high among proc'ing Scarlet Rot and from the looks of things he's getting at least a 50% attack boost (30% from Rot, 20% from Bleed)
Chase Gomez
This weapon so fashionable that it looks good with any character or armor in the game
Luis Wood
>dropped by the most jobber tier enemies in the game
>it's the best longsword
clever hiding it in plain sight like that
Joshua Kelly
Become my blade once more
Jayden Hill
A beautiful swordspear and pure fun
I use it with supplemental magic, like slicer and the glintlock
You can actually use the WA in PvE if you're smart with it, does one billion damage and have amazing hyperarmor
>inb4 reddit filename
I refuse to give Fextra a single view
Michael Cox
Bullshit, STR has insane damage with power stancing, insane poise breaking with two-handing and jump attacks + really fast crouching pokes.
If anything my STR playthrough feels way easier than my Dex/Fth and Dex/Int attempt.
Anthony Campbell
zweihander
