Scythe is now hands down my favorite starting weapon. Quite fast, devastating damage and amazing reach. And you float. YOU FLOAT!

Finally a guy that actually not only tells you but shows you where things are at. Thanks for the info and video

This game is one of the only games I've ever seen, that not only lived up to its expectations..but actually exceeded all expectations on a dramatic scale.

It's worth mentioning while most of this can be obtained right away. The things in Stormveil Castle can't be gotten until you defeat Margit the Fell.

The charge up attack for the Black Flame Incantation does more damage, you just can’t release it before it’s fully charged. Your character will automatically throw it once it’s fully charged, if you throw it anytime before then the damage becomes the same as just quick casting it.

For anyone wondering what armor set he is using it’s called the “Raptor” set.. two pieces of bandit armor bought from Gostoc and the head and chest piece found inside a sealed wall in the sage’s cave

Just FYI, you can get Godslayer seal/incantations from the Tower grace by making a jump to the nearby rooftop, then dropping down, skipping the annoying wall segment with all the birds.

Fun fact about the black flame incantations is that the damage over time is actually based on the HP of the enemy so more HP = more damage which makes up for how short the black flame blade lasts

You know what, my dude. You just got a sub. I've used 3 of your vids for my builds. You run through the full details and I've had no trouble finding pieces for my builds with your vids.

Here is another thing to note: Even if you run out of FP, you can still use Angel's Wings with less damage. In general, any skill that uses character movement as a main factor still works will no FP at a cost of damage, and can still work quite well.

Not to mention Winged Scythes art description tells that if either of the two hits hit someone it will block out them being able to use thier hp and fp flasks for like 15 to 20 seconds. So it's very viable for pvp too.

Just started playing and it's my first ever Souls game... This is the build I will be trying. Looks so fun 🙂

I love themed builds like this! It is known that fashion and style are the true endgame.

Dude! Your videos are fantastic! Your editing is fantastic, every shot match what you talk about, and the amount of work being out into these videos are really paying off. Great job man 👌

My God, the builds I've seen have been insane.

You can customize the scythe and the reaper scythes for a faith build and dual wield with. This also works with intelligence builds. But the wing and halo scythes don't work as well because you cannot change the ash of war and thus the scaling.

The Godslayer Greatsword's special attack is a 2 hit combo if you do a second input for even bigger damage. (Technically 3 hits, if you count the first motion that does damage)

There is so much to do in this game! So many builds! I roll a new character almost every day just to try new stuff that Khrazegaming puts out! Well done Sir!

been trying to build this myself ever since i got the winged scythe, but i suck at builds so this should help with optimisating things

I used this build, and it was hella fun. I’m still using it, at lvl 153. It’s great. Though, I eventually switched to a dragon seal w/lightning Spear as opposed to black flame. I recommend it!

First play through and I chose this build and just now happened to stumble on this video so this will help a lot. I was using pyro flames with the Winged Scythe didn’t know about some of these other buffs yet though. Great video

I love this build could you make a part 2 with your recommendations on armor and where to put points in later lvls

Thank you for confirming my suspicion that I can't cast black flame on "special" weapons. That any Ash is applied disables the incantation wasn't exactly what I was suspecting and rather unfortunate, but I suppose the damage over time and damage boost make up for that.

i made a Reaper Necromancer with death spells and i had my scythe with the ashes of war: bloodhound step and frost damage which felt pretty epic

i gotta recommend the cipher pata weapon for every faith build. it weighs 0 so you can stash it in your weapon slots no problem. it has maybe the best weapon art in the game, the unblockable blade. any enemy with a shield just gets staggered for free, low fp cost and good faith scaling. you can find it in roundtable hold to the left of where you fight the madtongue phantom person

This build looks sick. Just finished my int playthrough. Time to start over with a godslayer build

As a new player in souls game this guide was very helpful to give me atleast something to work towards on and not feel lost on what weapons or gear should i be getting

Great video. just started playing and was following another noob walk through so I got up pretty quick but never knew I could do all this with my confessor. I’ve been wondering and this is exactly what I want to be able to do. I’m level 44 and haven’t even fought the first story boss yet. LOL. too much fun exploring.

It seems after testing, charging black flame increases the radius of the explosion aoe. Good for groups

@khrazeGaming on the top of the map where the golden city is, there is a location with windmill if u kill the other apostel god there he will drop a twinbalde with amazing aoe and dmg blackflames and blackflames spell wich easily doing on bosses 3khp, should have considerd that as an alteritave then the vulcano area blade

Ya dude you have the best videos for any game it's insane. I hope you have multiple sponsors

Just subbed! Will follow the tips for this as I was aiming for a faith build! THanks!

Do you know that the god slayer great sword has a second follow up attack with its special attack? Because I am noticing that you’re only doing its first initial attack and not pressing the left trigger a second time. In total the god slayer great sword has three attacks, The first two are automatic, One that lights the blade on fire and there’s a small amount of damage but still can be very substantial at high levels, and followed up by the first attack, and pressing the trigger again will initiate a second attack going from left to right. With 40 strength 40 text Arity and 40 faith you can easily one tap most players, and can get about 2500 damage. With 70 faith and 70 strength and 60 dexterity and the right talismans you can do 4000 damage to a player with all three hits landing. Passes are different story because some bosses take more or less damage depending on the resistances, but the lowest you’ll do is normally half your damage that, sometimes you could do triple that damage to certain bosses

Hey man, love this build. Well done. Would be curious to see your stat total distribution in future videos.

For those who want to attempt a necromancer type looking build this definitely looks better than the bright blue Glintstone powered weapon wanna be necromancer looking build. I will have to implement this into my dragon build.

One of the best, most detailed guides I have seen! 👍 Cheers for that

Awesome I didn't know there's a greatsword for this build! I'm already rocking a similar build, I use this scythe with uchigatana + bloodflame. The blackflame really synergizes with bleed build up!

This build looks amazing! A nice variant on the “magic go brr” and/or “colossal weapon lorge” trend. Any armor recommendations for early and mid-game?

You detailed that build very well. Excellent work!

Awesome. I built my character around this weapon and now I can enhance it with the other parts of the build that I didn’t have

For anyone who wants an even more offensive setup, equip a 2nd Scythe (potentially with Sacred ash of war) on your left hand and your L1 will melt everything. You will also build blood loss up 2x faster and still have access to angel's wings

I was already playing with this equipment but with your video now i can make it even better 👀👍

Ended up doing pretty much this same exact build. I wanted my character to be one of those door to door Christians so I put all my points into faith early game for the memes. After getting the godslayer seal and the scythe it all started coming together. Now I ride around in black robes while dual wielding holy scythes and using jump attacks to wreck faces

It's the first time playing elden ring, I love this game so much and this build is so fun to use. I am level 60 and I keep going straight back to it.

Have you considered using the Gargoyle's blackblade as a substitute for the godslayer greatsword? It's the greatsword you get from the Black Blade Kindred. It's special is a ranged slash which also applies black flame. It's quite decent.

Thank you so much for the video. I’ve been seeing other “early game faith build” guides that have you farming the cleanrot knights in Caelid and some incantations from 5 of the games main areas including the capital… real “early game” 🧐

I now have a goal for my confessor nun! Love your videos mate!

I just started my faith build and Im currently running lightningspear as my major spell but black flame seems so nice and the weapons look so cool I need to get them ^^

I've been doing a lot of math today in preparation for coop with a friend, and prophet is actually a slightly better start for this build. You only need to invest 9 levels to be able to wield the winged scythe if you get the soreseal, and since it starts 3 levels lower than the confessor you'll be able to wield it and a brass shield at level 16, which seems absurd. You still are able to wear reasonable armor (≈2 less weight than vagabond) without having to spend any points on endurance.

Honestly, the Scythe on it’s own already seems quite OP.

LOVE THIS BUILD! Thanks!! Defo using this for my second character.

This looks fun luv unique builds imma try this out!!! Keep up the great work I subbed

Love this but my only question is what's the point of having black flame blade when you can't apply it to the winged scythe? Or is the winged scythe just for early game and you transition to a different weapon that can use BFB?

Been rocking the scythe since day 1. I love that thing

I made a magic/int version of this build's winged scythe game play by using the regular scythe and adding Loretta's Slash ash of war that you get from Caria Manor. Very fun!

Awesome guide and great build thanks!

i used this weapon all the way until i completed the game, the scythe l2 spam is pretty broken and combined with mimic tear u can literally destyroy bosses

You had me at “scythe”~

I was waiting for someone to dropp faith build i made one just didn't know what to get with it this help a lot man thank you

I built this way on accident with my first character, bout to start popping off now that I got some more knowledge on the concept 🖤

Any thoughts on the gargoyle great sword you get from the beast place where you turn the deathrooth? I cheesed the gargoyle boss with the black flame and running away with torrent. Seems like a good choice as well since it scales with strength and faith.

The black knife is also a good weapon, it scales with dex and faith, its weapon art is a ranged slash which deals a lot of dmg, dmg overtime AND takes some of the enemy's max hp away

Just got the godslayers great sword and I have finally completed this faith build

This build guide is so nice. Also tbh I kinda like godslayer greatsword more than blasphemous blade but that sword is also great.

I actually already ran this build or a very similar build before the video, I swapped out the soreseal talisman for assassins bloody dagger(i think recovers hp on crit) I use the FAI and DEX up talisman and the boost jump attack talisman. Good video though very informative. Also there is a talisman that boosts holy attack at the cost of incoming damage.

what should i focus points into? stack faith and vigor and a little into mind? anyone have a breakdown for that?

This is fabulous! Thank you!

Definitely using this guide for my third playthrough, it looks very badass!

The Godslayer's Greatsword's weapon art has a two hit combo, if you hit the weapon art again immediately after the first you'll get a second swing that does even more damage.

What armor set are you wearing? I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to be able to find it. I love the way it looks

I started playing again 2 days ago. Extremely addictive haha. I finished it already like 2 years ago, but it was a very rushed playthrough, looking at a bunch of guides. I'll do my best to go alone this time, but I will try to get this build this time.

It's about time someone actually gave me a thorough explanation on the build.

So does the black flame buff not work on scythe since it has an ash of war? Is the bleed on scythe significant? Ty love the build !

I've been doing this build with lightning bolt instead. Lvl 56 and I've been clearing most bosses "easily" 😅 much easier than before. I'm getting a second winged scythe form a friend so my goal is dual wield that setup.

Using this build and am very happy thank you :)

Just what I'm been looking for thanks m8 👌😎

godskin prayer book can also be given to the guy in Round table hold.

Hmm you make a build guide yet no explanation of stat allocations ... 80faith? 50 faith 50 Dex?

Thanks for showing enemies that are kinda tough instead of the chumps in front of the gate

Thanks for the guide!

What armor do you have equipped here? i love how it looks

i love this build and it looks so cool. just wondering what armor set you use

The black flame charge makes the ball explode on impact for an AOE instead of single target. Plus the charge does deal a little more damage after charging.

Thank you for this vid I now I know exactly where to go to get the last two things I need

Amazing guide, but you should probably mention how damn tough the monsters are at Fort Faroth. I'm level 52 (so def not EARLY like you claim) and I'm still getting one hit by quite a few of the monsters in there! 😅

The winged scythe also is the only thing in the game that blocks healing

I've been running this build for almost 3 weeks and I love it

Found this build on ranked boost and gave it a shot, now that I've seen the video about it, it's gonna be even better

Where did you find that armor?

Your character looks really cool! What armor set is this?

Video was so helpful imma actually sub

Really informative! I gotta try this

What armor set is this?

Hey out of curiosity does anyone know if the claw talisman enhances the wing scythe ability? I am not sure if would be considered a jump attack.

considering my first 4 characters are all gonna be based on the Horsemen of the Apocalypse this is extremely appreciated cheers mate

Excellent guide! Can’t wait to try this tonight when I get home, currently working on a dex build for my confessor w a ugikatana but now this is definitely where I want to take my build!

Can you include the attributes so I’m not left with guessing how you built this please and thank you but great video👍🏽

So I finally got the winged scythe, got the stats to equip with the soreseal, and I do literally 0 dmg. what am i doing wrong?

Fits my build like a glove. Thanks bud

These are great my friend. Ty
