It's incredibly powerful and does absurd damage with absolutely no thought process needed to win.
It's insane how much pressure the biggest shitters in the world can put on you just by using it.
Watch this;

This is me invading two mouth breathing retards. Notice their health, in Mt. Gelmir. They're getting carried entirely by that weapon. Sure, I kill them pretty easily, but they're able to almost kill me by simple fact they can;
>brrr l2 go brrr
When shitters like this aren't using the shitter weapon, it's laughable how easy it is to fuck with them. When they ARE using it, it's immediately time to take them serious.
Jason Cook
Dogshit weapon with terrible split AR. But the ash of war carries you through PvE content and PvP. Only invaders seethe about this weapon because it is very hard to kill 3 people using this, regardless of sharing the same braincell. It's also dogshit for duels.
Oliver Wright
>The gold actually pressing R1
Daring today, aren't we?
Jaxson Cooper
because it's foon
Hudson Nguyen
Different question, with how the game is now, damn near 30% of the weapons/spells in this game can one to two shot you with the right build anyway, so why are you all gravitating towards this weapon only?
Lincoln Reed
Sometimes they decide to be weird and actually press something other than L2.
It's like when you see someone using BHS and Fat Rolling and for some reason they still occasionally press roll.
I reason it to glitches in their coding.
Elijah Phillips
"Heh. Looks like I outskilled all these shitters on Yea Forums. If only they could be as good at videogames as I am."

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Justin Fisher
Because every little kid goes on YouTube and types “SUPER OP BUILD TO HELP ME BECAUSE IM BAD AT THE GAME”. Then every video has a build for it.
Carson Lee
>spam crouch R1 and L2
you didn't beat the host
Brody Taylor
Looks like he did though, user.
Easton Turner
Do you want him to use attacks that come out slower and deal less damage and are easier to dodge?
Christopher Campbell
It has a huge ass phantom range to the point where no normal weapon can outrange it
It instantly kills anyone caught in it
It's much faster than 95% of ashes of war
It has a native status tied to it that will build up WHILE you're dodging it
Bleed in this game staggers you further meaning when it procs the follow up hits chain further
It's the best ash of war in the game, and by such an obvious magnitude that whoever made it clearly had no intent of making it balanced
Aaron Sullivan
only bad invaders. good ones don't have any complaint about the weapon. the complaint was about bleed stagger, and that's fixed.
Carter Bell
This post is so dumb that there is no point in arguing with you. It would actually be a massive waste of time because there is such a gap in what I know about the game and what you know about it.
Christian Martin
because ER is the only game soulspvp players have left and they're fuming lol.
1v1 this weapon actually sucks but most players don't check for counters, they just spam their own gimmick.
Aaron Peterson
>It has huge ass phantom range
Not in Japan
So it will never be fixed
Charles Hall
its popular so naturally Yea Forums is contrarian to it
Jose Edwards
>big rig zwei bro dabbing on weeb faggots with GoyWood names
Absolutely fucking based.
Kevin Wood
This is too funny, good video user. These shitters never know what to do once you outskill them. It's like their brain breaks. Extra funny when they use bloodhound step and run out of FP
I see that you don't invade often.
Ryan Perez
>be on the verge of winning 3v1
>it's now a 1v1
>turns back into a 3v1 within a minute because of hunters
i mean it was fun, but the lack of a cooldown on hunters is just fucking crazy
Luke Sanchez
>1v1 this weapon actually sucks but most players don't check for counters, they just spam their own gimmick.
Get decent poise and trade into their animations. It's the same thing with moonveil katana.

"It's fine because people that use it are shit at the game" is the shittiest way to look at weapon balance. Yeah, of course broken shit attracts bad players and eventually you're going to feel like the weapon is manageable because it's piloted by troglodytes. But if you ever run into a person who actually knows what they're doing you're going to eat shit. It's an ash of war that comes out fast and has really good diagonal hitzones and it can't be traded into. You have to keep your distance and bait them into wasting it until they run out of FP but that approach works on anything that relies on a finite resource if the user is just spamming.
Lucas Thomas
I was in an invasion yesterday, went for 30 minutes because the host did nothing but spam BHS and re-summon his overleveled RoB phantom while blues were pouring in like fucking crazy.
I even tried the "blocking them" trick from Dark Souls 3 to stop the summon spam, but apparently that doesn't work anymore?
I won, but it's incredible how insane it was. I must have killed 100+ blues in only 30 minutes, not including the phantom I killed over and over again.
Angel Gray
>PVP
Who fucking cares, it's just a bolt on to the main game. It's not the be all and end all.
Jack Miller
You'd be right if it also wasn't brokenly overpowered in PVE too, you mouth breathing tard.
Chase Jones
I never said it wasn't. Your entire post was solely about PvP and that's what I was replying to.
Josiah Thompson
It single handedly killed this game which could have lasted years in multiplayer but nah.
>just parry it
Yeah, there's like 10 of you mega spergs out there that say this and only 3 of you can actually do it. 99% of normal people are rightly going to chuckle to themselves and uninstall this bullshit the first time they see this thing one shot them from a bow's distance with its flurry of anime faggotry.
Elijah Perez
It's been a feature since Demon's Souls. If they didn't want to have it in their game they wouldn't have included. They had no problem dropping it for Sekiro.
Dominic Williams
>killed
>a single player game
Ryan Hall
I'm not that original user. Your post is just fucking stupid.
Caleb Williams
People are just mad they didn't use it earlier to cosplay as jet stream sam!
Josiah King
No, that’s what he wants the people he invades to do.
Josiah Barnes
not only that but now hosts can stall SO fucking easily now. if they spam bloodhound step in a single direction they're actually faster than SPRINTING, so they can keep chugging blues and dodging for hours. It's so fucking stupid. you would think that Miyazaki learned his lesson with the Murky Hand Scythe but then we see this shit added into the game.
William Taylor
That's fine and it's a fun little minigame but you get people like who treat it like a competitive fighting game and fill threads up complaining about "the meta". DS PvP has the potential to be amazing but the netcode is too bad to take it that seriously.
Yeah right, who the fuck says "mouth breathing retard" not once but twice. R*ddit ass bitch.
Sebastian Hill
FPBP - This is the inevitable cycle of any multiplayer game. If ER had no multiplayer then nobody would care how good RoB is. But because there's multiplayer there will always bee complaints about the dominating weapons of the meta. Go play a digital card game and replace "weapon" with "deck/specific broken card" and you'll see the same whining 24/7
Nathan Butler
It's not even about parrying it, because you can parry it if you want
But the people who say "just parry it" seemingly only play in duels and don't understand that no phantom is going to let you parry their friend and riposte them for free
James Gomez
unironically that's why I like it
Hudson Martin
idk moonveil is way more OP
Xavier Ward
Can't speak for pvp cause I don't give a shit about it. For pve there's countless viable weapons... until you get to new game plus seven and only statuses can scratch the enemies. I feel shoehorned into using it and thought it was cool enough initially but L2 > L2 > L2 gets old fast
Ayden Smith
No one brought up meta but you.
>dude you're not allowed to complain about PVP balance despite them adding it in every single game
Nah, you're an idiot.
Wyatt Harris
Why shouldn't he complain about it? It's something he enjoyed doing in previous games.
Levi Taylor
Thats not RoB.
Zachary Torres
???
Yes it is.
Landon Davis
Are you retarded?
Anthony Diaz
LOL. Blasphemous Blade and Rivers of Blood shit all over everything in this game. Memeveil post nerf can't compare.
Connor Wilson
Moonveil is only good for trading these days. It'll outtrade a lot of stuff, but it's honestly only good as a gank tool or trading with idiots. For PVE, it's just average.
RoB shits all over it in both PVE and PVP.
Matthew Clark
hi, different person
what's your motivation for butting in here? do you like the weapon? have you invaded against this weapon a lot?
Austin Turner
>I'll use lowercase now, that will really throw him off
Thomas Jones
If you use anything other than your starting weapon you didnt really beat the game.
Easton Gray
THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED
Jace Walker
>Game has tons of spells, weapons, Ashes of War, powerstancing, pots, consumables, physicks, summons, the kitchen sink.
>Invade and see one thing over and over.
>Guess what it is.
When your friend goes through the trouble of dropping you one, while YOU have one on your main, and your third phantom has one, there might not be a reason to pick a different weapon.
Jeremiah Cox
I hope this doesn’t get nerfed before I get to it. The sword of night and flame did, right? I just got it and I really like how it looks.
Robert Gutierrez
>guy actually replies to you, quotes you directly, calls you an idiot
>you reply to me instead
no one can be this retarded
Christian Miller
It's a strong weapon for invaders. You can hit multiple people with it very often, punish chugging if they're in range and, most importantly, it deals its damage *fast*, unlike RoB which locks you into an animation. I always use it with a disgusting one shot int build. Powerstance with another Moonveil or magic Nagakiba for better results
Brody Sanchez
It already got "nerfed" and it's still op two updates later.
I think it's working as intended which is hilarious af.
Austin Mitchell
Yeah I only got it recently as well since I forgot to kill Okina before beating Fire Giant, luckily they fixed it.
Jeremiah Turner
>n-no!!! multiple people can't think I'm retarded! I-I know, I'll s-say they're samefagging
