@@MrJinglejanglejingleyou're mixing up stance and poise. That "stagger" IS the poise break. For most enemies in DS3, poise breaking resulted in a flinch of some kind, meanwhile in ER, you have poise AND stance. You can actually poise break an enemy in ER sometimes multiple times before their stance breaks. Now it's also true that many DS3 bosses had a "stance break" like effect whenever you dealt enough poise damage, but it's an ultimately different system than ER.

The way that the Black Knight finished off the Crucible knight was brutal, just what you would expect from the Knights of Gwyn. 01:53 Anyway, I feel like the Black Knights lend themselves better to pure damage-calculations, because they don't stagger easily and they better recovery times, meanwhile the Crucible knights are more akin to fighting smart, by exploiting the stagger mechanics to keep them from constantly attacking, which only really lends itself well if you have a massive weapon and uncrushable attack patterns, which the Dark Knights seem to excel at.

For those who are interested, but don’t want to figure it out themselves I figured out how much of a threat dark knights would be in er using this vid, using the er wiki, I can tell the the dark knight does 40 (or higher) stance damage, since it takes 2 hits to break the poise of a crucible knight (80). 40 stance damage is ABSURD, so absurd in fact that with any poise below 80 (seeing as how most medium weight armor sets barely get over the 60 mark, that doesn’t bode well) 1-2 hits from this thing will IMMEDIATELY stance break you, and the 40 stance damage isn’t even confirmed, it’s most likely higher because he also flinches the crucible every hit. Furthermore the damage on this man climbs to over 400 every hit for the sword one, and 200-300 for the axe one, for reference, 25 vigor is 800 hp and 35 is 1216 so if you get comboed once, that’s pretty much death. This means that in er, unless you love that bull goat armor and have over 40 vigor you’d practically have to no hit dark knight just to have a chance of winning. Keep in mind I don’t really have a deep understanding of the poise system in this game, as it’s extremely complicated, but I think this explanation is sufficient enough to explain that these knights would be actual hell to fight in a normal run

@@Stone_Orchidsas per the armor description in DS1: "Armor of the Black Knights who haunt Lordran. The knights followed Lord Gwyn when he departed to link the Fire but they were burned to ashes in the newly kindled flame, wandering the world as disembodied spirits ever after." If they were constructs, burning to ash would mean that they wouldnt even exist anymore. And given that they are stated to be disembodied spirits, they cant be a construct. They were once living things, and are now a form of undead. Just not the same type of undead as the player. As for the Silver Knights, they have minds of their own that proves they are not simple constructs; Leo couldnt use the Silver Knight Straight Sword nor spear, and chose a hammer instead, going against everything the other knights did - and if you know anything about militaristic forces, uniformity is important. That, and he was willing to leave to find Havel. Difference is that Silver Knights likely still have their bodies underneath, and are likely the undead we're used to seeing rather than disembodied spirits. They arent constructs.

@@secretminty6398I don't think they are undead since Gwyn knights were from the "god" race, thus lacking the dark soul. The humans that fought alonside Gwyn, like the slave knights, were forgotten or confined in the ringed city. The Silver knights, being Gwyn's fellows, got the privilege of guarding Anor Londo instead, and most likely they were all part of the nobility and revered by humans as gods. Like all "gods" they were immune to natural death but they lacked the dark soul fragment, so they couldn't get affected by the undead curse.

This really shows you how different DS and ER were in terms of enemy brutality and also how much FromSoft did their best to make the franchise feel fresh. We spent 3 games of DS enemies that attacked fluidly and straightforward . One Swing right after the next until combo finished. The Black Knights were tough bc of how quick and hard their combos were. Elden Ring played on that familiarity and gave us enemies with delayed attacks and really weird timing on attacks regardless of how telegraphed they were. Also letting us stun lock enemies was a major plus which is why the crucible knights are getting creamed.
