how can he if it’s not obtainable?

its secretly op

You can do some fun gimmick stuff with charged O'Flame with a bunch of buffs. (Flame Grant Me Strength, Radagon Icon, Fire Scorpion Ring, Incantation talismans; this hits for a ton of damage at 70 Faith)

For it is monumental

I have it, can’t remember how I got it but yeah. I use it unironically after using it ironically....and finding out it’s not absolutely terrible 😂

get off YT. Eat leafy greens

Him realizing it at the very end was my favorite highlight of this showcase.

I'm also a huge fan of the Black Knife and would love to see a showcase!

that was my first playthrough weapon

Bonuspoints for a Black Knife Tiche cosplay 😍

@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G bro it’s a joke chase keeps forgetting to change his physic flask

Probably too slow in dual, still fun tho

@@a.t.6432 I don’t know what the most recent balancing did to it, but the crouch L1 used to be great from neutral and for rollcatching.

Nope this weapon is ok the rot takes forever to activate as well tho I haven't used it since the last patch but it was definitely mid at best

He already did

@@stuartmccleary he hasn't yet, you're confusing it with the axe of godfrey

@@stuartmccleary Nah he did Godfrey's. Godrick's has the other shockwave attack

Facts though 😮‍💨

oh the thing that kills before the status procs.... death blight is, more of a meme than anything really

@@brayachdragonbane7529 still would be the first of its kind to be showcased by chase during this series. There’s also incantations that apply the status

That's if you reverse directions without turning. For dodges and backstabs it's useful to learn to really quickly rotate your direction stick so that the character switches directions in a tiny circle, rather than direct reversal with the animation.

You probably mean Amir. And that's not how programming works.

He already did for quite a few weapons.

Sadly torches cant be powerstanced :(

how did he not love this comment

@@Tackitt maybe he is not 3 years old?

@@Tackitt He never likes my Ringed Finger comments.

@@1IGG aww someone lost their sense of humor

Visual delay is just part of Fromsoft PvP. Latency is part of EVERY game you play online, but some games mask it better, or have a server which resolves timing conflicts between two players. Since Fromsoft games are peer to peer, you don't get that fancy interpolation to smooth out what each player sees. At this point I barely even notice it.

Quality builds are extremely good because you can use both dex and strength scaling weapons. It gives you access to the largest variety of weapons imo.

Are you serious? He's using one of the worst weapon classes in the game... even with Storm Stomp colossals get out-dpsed by almost everything (should've added everything meta like ps ss, ps gs etc). I edited to remove out-traded because that was the wrong term as you rightfully indicated below.

@@1blueeye Colossals (swords included) out-trade anything in the game that’s not ps jumps or ps great+ swings. Colossals wiith warcry/braggart true combo out-trades anything in the game period except (possibly) halberd/lance warcry counterhits or claw rkr jumps. I would agree with you if he was running storm stomp 2h hammer/axe/flail, but trading is the entire enterprise with colossals. Colossals are absolutely one of the hardest classes to use - their weakness is landing a hit in the first place, which storm stomp negates by allowing 1 swing from any weapon setup, whether that’s dual ss, spear, or a 2h colossal. This is also true of flaming strike, another clutch skill which ignores swing speed, although fortunately that’s not useable on colossals. Don’t get me wrong, Chase’s mechanical play is well exhibited with flame of redmanes, but of course a good player will be reluctant to aggress a colossal with storm stomp. 600+ dmg per swing with the bit of extra from stomp is enough to safely 3-4 shot any opponent.

@@codeyakexpeditionaires6854 when I say out-traded, I'm referring to meta setups. Optimized ps ss, ps spears, ps gs. Even ps greatswords win the trade sometimes. Trading wasn't the right word, what I meant was for every 1 attack from a colossal these other weapons will land 3-4 times. Maybe colossal swords being somewhat of an exception. I've seen someone use endure on a colossal trade with someone with an endure Cleanrot and get watch the colossal user get melted. My point being, storm stomp is one of the few "viable" ashes on a colossal and Chase didn't even use it much. Most weapons can hit you through hyperarmor and be out of range before the colossal is active. But yes, technically they trade well but against meta stuff they are virtually worthless.

Jump attacks are strong, so people use them. Some people OVERUSE them, but that is very punishable. I have thousands of hours invading in Ds3, and I prefer the chaos that the weapon arts bring to the fight. Much better than the R1 blenders in Ds3. This is all from an invasion standpoint of course.

@@evanmorse2085 Yeah I can see why you would prefer that over blendering. I did find invasions against multiple casters annoying before however (not hard to punish mostly, but annoying), and with Weapon Arts, to some extent, everyone is a wizard now harry. Well, if nothing else, it's certainly new and fresh.

Depends on your stats,occult makes it scale with arcane i believe.

Can invade down to people at 124 and up at 170

Like in an FPS when you get shot it throws your aim off, for some reason in elden ring the same thing happens. With colossal weapons this is worse since you often need to trade hits and when you get hit it can make your character model flinch and your attack misses when it shouldn't.

Hello player from 10 months ago, Flame of the Redmane was heavily nerfed. It's basically useless for PvE.

@@1IGG hahah you’re right it has been a long time since I played. I didn’t know that. Shame.

There are kind of a lot of reasons. One being that it prevents pivoting but if you’re facing someone in 1v1 combat and they’re halfway decent, they’ll get used to your attacks and movements and if they’re really good then they’ll be able to space properly. Running at them and using your guard instead of your R1 makes it look like you’re about to attack them with your weapon. Some players panic roll the moment they see the enemy player’s hands moving and who is crazy enough to run at the opponent, get within melee range and use block instead of r1? They’re prepared to roll the moment your character takes an action. The guard mechanic is kind of like a feint. It also can cause confusing movements. If you use the claymore for example, 2 handed, and you run and R2 then you’ll run and let out a wide sweeping attack. If you unlock from your opponent, run at them, guard, run, R2 - it looks kinda like you spinned your character in a circle to attack….which idk if i’m explaining properly. It also resets your attack to the first stage of your attack. Meaning, if you’re using knights GS, then your first r1 is going to be the downward slash. That slash catches people quite frequently. Sometimes running at the enemy, catching them with a standard R1 and then guarding to reset to the first stage of your weapons attack, while quickly timing your sprint so you can attack the moment your weapon is down with the animation, can allow you to catch them again. Also, some melee weapons like the colossals and greatswords are decent for blocking and retaliating with a guard counter though I don’t see many people do it. If you have enough confidence in your knowledge of this game and you can make the educated guess to run at the opponent with the intention of blocking because you know their weapon will not break your guard - block their hit then retaliate with an ash of war like storm stomp for its hyperarmor and it allows you to hit the enemy with your colossal as well and set you up for a jumping R1 or R2 to roll catch the enemy for the win. There’s a lot to it and I think there are some videos on youtube about it. Hopefully that was more helpful than not.

I also have thousands of PvP hours and didn't know this until your comment. It makes sense though.
