Guts Greatsword is probably the best weapon on this list. Highest guard boost, longest reach, can change the ash of war and combat affinity too, allowing for more versatility and customisation depending on your situation. Can do both PVE and PVP with it too.
The only downside is the weight makes it one of the slower weapons to attack with, but if you get good enough using it abd work on your own timing for rolls and guard counters, you can easily mitigate those shortcomings.
The fact is that 80 str with 40 dex vigor and endurance plus Lions Claw AOW with Guts can tear through not just the base game but NG+ and half way into NG2 before needing to alter your build.
Am I cooked I quit being a sorcerer and started doing a strength build specifically and exclusively because of the Big Fucking Wheel
the starscourge greatsword FUCKS
Giving the greatsword bleed saved me from Malenia
The "Greatsword" in particular is an actual monster… The fucking thing has 84% physical absorption and 67 guard boost while guarding. Thats a good replacement for a shield… im not even talking about the damage…
My build has 42 vigor 17 mind 43 endurance 76 strength 31 dexterity 20 intelligence and faith 13 arcane atm using the godslayer greatsword Grafted Blade and meteoric ore blade all +10 works like a charm on most bosses meteoric ore blade for fast bosses greatsword for strong ones and grafted blade for slow ones 😅 powerhouse build
Not me running through life with two malikeths
I’m lvl 45 and ended up with the grafted greatsword by gta6 I might be able to use it 🙂
Imagine Powerstancing Godslayer's and The Black Blade together. Obviously this would be an NG+ build(Even with DLC levels), but with that consideration, how would you go about building that setup?
Interesting I just found great sword in Calied in the busted carriage. Never used it until now on a new character. This thing hits like a Mack truck even after DLC update recently. Can’t believe I ignored this sword! Great vid
its called fuck you big sword
Just every guts cosplayer after that video 🗿
what was the weapon/art at 2:30? I need that!
Godslayer greatsword and seal are top tier together. I used them on my first play through and it was so fun. I used the black flame wave incantation (I forgot the name lol) and the fireball one along with the black flame buff. I’d use the wave for aoe and general mobs while using the fireball to start the flame proc before going in with the sword whiled buffed since in most cases yeah you will trade some damage if you don’t time it right. But this build carried me so far. The only reason I switched it up was bc of the dlc and I wanted to try the new weapons. Specifically wing stance lol
Very informative… thanks
Maliketh's armor and the greatsword is basically the GUT's cosplay.
Bro you do 1 video calling every weapon type each, the best weapons in the game.
Request for a video on shields!!
of course greatswords are the best weapon type in elden ring its inspiration was berserk
duel wielding ruins and grafted blade was a based run, i used radans swords early till my stats were good enough to duel wield those two effectivly
I would pay real money if the Black Knight Great Sword would make a return to this game! The charged R2 wombo-combo is sorely missed! Based BKGS chads get in this thread and make some noise!
wow thanks dude that's amazing
Im loving using the Royal greatsword
lol 12:22
I'm a fan of Colossal weapons. It makes things easier when enemies are unanable to hit you because they are constantly stun locked and they work pretty well as a shield. Very nice those of us who are pretty shitty at parrying!
Destiny – Aztecross
Cyberpunk 2077 – SamBram
Elden Ring – Fextralife!!!
Thanks for the vids bro, you've really helped me through this game
How to get the HEAVY greatsword… not GREATSWORD… the HEAVY GREATSWORD
hey we dont know each other but i wanna say that GOD still loves u and wants u to be with him all u must do is trust in Jesus and repent of ur sins. GOD loves u more than u can imagine. ☺️☺️☺️🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉😊😊😊😊😊
i dual wield guts and ruins greatsword
What I’ve found works best for the Godslayer’s Greatsword is keeping a second weapon in another main hand slot with the Glintblade Phalanx skill on it.
This allows you to quickly break the enemy’s poise in 2-3 casts and then switch to the greatsword skill with a longer window to use its ash of war. Using Phalanx to poise break instead of jump or heavy attacks also leaves you with plenty of stamina to pull off the initial and followup strikes of the black flame skill.
U ever heard of something called falt defence? It means split dmg is most likly worse than just one dmg type.
bro forgor that the watchdog greatsword has S scaling in heavy infusion.which. means. idk probably rlly good damage if u got like 50 str
If I get back into this game I’m thinking I’ll do a colossal sword katana duel wield build
Yall thoughts
Edit: oooh think I’d use the odachi with the zwiehander
graphed great sword is so bad that I quit the game. without a weapon art the base attacks sucks so much that fights would take 10 minutes because the endgame bosses all jump across the arena after their combos stopping you from hitting them
I'd love to use one. But I hate that it takes 3-5 business days for it to swing.
Elden ring started of shitty for me like all souls shit.. I tried magic to stay back from too much damage and it all went to shit.. strength and great swords changed it all.. sitting at 40 st with a decent ash if not a skilled sword
Made it a completely different game.
I'll never go back..
I wish there was a great sword with the vertical r1 moveset from dark souls 3 its so fast and gives you incredible dps potential
Ruins Greatsword is pretty good, but I have to say, I have an occult Uchigatana consecutive attacks build with seppuku and the AR is potentially higher. Sure, it's fluctuating, but it's a lot faster, takes less stamina and has bleed. So unless something is bleed immune, it feels a lot stronger. The only disadvantage is the stance damage, imho.
Edit nvm you are memeing with the "best weapon" award lol
But what if you use 2 colossal swords? 🧍🏾♂️
It would be fitting if Watchdogs greatsword would land fp for killing enemies similarly to sacrificial axe.
We all know you are here to cosplay as Guts
How is anybody gonna play a souls game and not use colossal swords?
Ooh I might want to make a Godslayer Greatsword build next, thanks!
I'd like to mention that Zweihander's chagre R2 is a thrust attack which can be boosted by the Spear talisman. You'll see a MASSIVE 1,5x damage increase if you hit your enemy just in time. Paired with RKR ash of war, charged attack tear and talisman it makes your charged R2s absolutely devastating! I'm not speaking about extremely low stat requirements so even dexterity build could use it. That's why Zweihander is definately the best colossal sword in ER.
Wish colossal weapons could use bleed abilities by ashes of war. But they cant be. They are too op. I know. But be great to mess with hackers i met. Be hiliarious one hit tko bleed instantly.
Me dual wielding the greatsord and malikeths black sord with bloodhounds step 😂
how can colossal swords be best weapon as it takes longest times for animations and recovery… also require careful welding
One thing I wish the Starsocurge greatsword did is when you input the second part of its ash of war it would gravitate rocks to the sword just like Radahn when rocks are attached to his swords. When you do that the rocks give the greatswords and increase in damage and will stay on for maybe 3-5 minutes but it would also make your weapon swings a little bit slower. I hope you all like this idea.
