I'm so glad Catch Flame is the best incantation in the DLC

“Not dick of light, that’s a thing only Miquella has.” -Scott 2024

I'm so glad you're back to making Elden Ring content. There are so many youtubers for this game but very few who don't annoy me (RageGaming being the absolute most obnoxious ever).

I personally also like Giant Golden Arc, though really just for PvP. You can follow it like you'd follow a fireball in street fighter, and it casts really quickly, to the point where you can combo into it through other tools at close range.

waiting for impenetrable thorns to be #1 for sorceries LMAO

If the porcupine crucible incant had better tracking it would be high A tier spells. But currently it can miss so easily. If it hits point blank it does good damage for the fp.

6:21. Speaking abt bosses, I believe this can be used effectively on Lord Radahn for a cheese start. The hovering in the air is likely long enough to bugged out the hit detection of Radahn’s 3rd phase meteor attack, making him come back midair(instead of hitting the ground), and locks him into a falling animation, cancelling the entire rest of the attack. For those who don’t know, being airborne roughly 3 sec after Lord Radahn jumps into orbit, will make the tracking detection spawn midair. You can do it by just timing the your own jump, or dragon incantation, and by the look of it, messenger’s orb as well.

I think Giant Golden Arc is an underrated PVP incantation. It casts rather ridiculously quickly uncharged, and has some oppressive tracking, lingering and homing for a full 5-6 seconds even when not charged. The damage is less important than the fact that it comes out so quick and can just pester an enemy, absolutely forcing a roll or defensive running. The damage is not great but hey, chipping off 200-300 health from an enemy with a projectile that lingers so long *seems* decent to me. On randoms, I've used it to zone.

knight's lightning spear is the GOAT. PvE and invasion monster

Multilayered ring of light can also he deflected by the erdtree greatshield. When charged you have enough time for 2 deflects. Additionally if this hits in melee range, the stun combos into the shield projectile which if you chaged it, combos into another shield projectile.

I had stopped using healing flask way before the dlc in replace of erdtree heal or now heal from afar simply because they can heal so much more then a flask depending on your faith. The benefit is that you essentially have constant heals for both your friends or spirit ash if you use it and rarely have to ever worry about running out if FP flasks since now you have 14. Also some gear that lowers heals from crimson flask do not affect heal spells at all which is a little bonus.Highly recommend heal incantations for faith users or incantation oriented builds in general.

I really like the Pest Thread Spears, just like regular pest threads it's amazing at rollcatching any PvE enemy that tries to read your inputs and against small enemies it does way more consistant damage. I have a Polyanna cosplay build and it fits perfectly.

I made an 80fth fire knight cosplay and with two fire knight seals and godfrey icon, that messmer orb spell does ludicrous damage. I think I hit radagon for over 4000.

3:05 Is multilayered ring of light more fp efficient compared to discus though? 3 fp for like 400-600 dmg in the base game is CRAZY. I’d still use both honestly.

Sorry Scott, feels bad that you get hit with instant bot comments 🎉❤

Use Uplifting Aromatic in every dues , you have the tools to do it right now it's not cheating

Big Golden Arc is very good, alongside fire serpent probably the best added PvP incantation.

I really need From to buff/fix Furious blade of Ansbach. Currently it does barely any damage and has no bleed build-up whatsoever. It must be bugged as it stands now.

I agree with most of these, other than Wrath from Afar. Maybe I'm just not as creative, but I didn't find too many opportunities to shunt enemies off of cliffs without feeling like I was going out of my way to do so just because I could. Everything else though - Glowing review.

I will say that for a faith/arcane build, the bayle roar attack does absolute insane damage while also still going off if you get knocked out of the animation. Its a one hit on lots of enemies and in pvp its either one hit or enough to het them to back off, assuming you have enough health.

Would you consider making a "Worst Incants" and or "Worst Spells"? Just to bring more attention to the things that should be buffed up to the standard of at least worth using sometimes instead of discovering it, trying it once, realizing it's absolutely worthless and never touching again. Making that spell/incant/AoW/etc. effectively a dead end feature.

I love Heal From Afar! So many hosts I've been able to save on my faith build, so satisfying!

I'm rather surprised you didn't mention Giant Golden Arc. I've found it to be a quite good general use AOE option for hallways and such.

Light of Miquella is bugged at the moment. It doesn't get properly buffed from Holy damage bonus and also doesn't get bonus damage from the crown of light that states it boosts Light of Miquella. The Dryleaf Seal also doesn't work at the moment as it should boost Miquella's incantations but currently doesn't (making it a useless seal as at any point in the game it is bested by another seal). Light of Miquella will be able to do significantly more damage once these bugs are fixed.

Cult incantations all one shot with the dragon form and the right talismans/physic in PvP. I invade in the storehouse first floor and just cast dragons lightning strike through the bookshelves, if it lands it one shots. If I see a weapon I can trade with and they’re being aggressive I use fortissax lightning spear which is a 360 aoe and true combos for a 1-2 shot. Death lightning one shots. Lansaxx lightning sometimes one shots. Honed bolt is hitting close to 1000 damage. Also hits anywhere from 6k-30k damage on bosses in pve. This is with flock canvas talisman, canvas talisman, godfrey icon, and lightning tear for physic. The damage potential could even be higher, but as of right now the it’s ridiculously high without being too glass cannon.

i think not including golden arcs is not fair since the spell does really good damage is fast costs only 12 fp and does 15 stance damage and is just a bit better than giant golden arc so it should deserve a place too, 4:00 also don't forget light of miquella is bugged and is not getting buffed by circlet of light and dryleaf seal.

Liking these videos way more than dbd

ok gamers, what sidearms are we using for our faith builds or hybrid faith builds? for my L150 str/fth build i’ve been power stancing black iron greathammer and curved great club for holy and curved great club and the candle stand for fire

ty scott

Do you think the fire rain spell will be buffed? Isn’t it the same as that spell

can you do a video on how to incantation only elden ring pve (thats not just spam catch flame)

but are you evaluating them also taking into account the mana cost or are you going straight for the "infinite starlight shard" strategy ?

After testing almost all new incantations I still think that ADLS is the best one

Good one bro

It is absolutely absurd to say that multilayered rings is an improved version of discus. It does not replace discus or triple rings for various reasons. Firstly, discus is the most fp efficient incant/spell in the game, and does way more damage than it should for its fp cost. Furthermore, its damage can be massively boosted by wearing goldmask and using the golden order seal (or even using two). The int requirement is only 13, something any faith build should be able to afford. The amount of damage this shits out in pve is bonkers. As for triple rings, it is basically impossible to miss with this spell in pve. Enemies will dodge the middle ring straight into either of the side rings. Its damage is slightly higher than discus (which speaks more to how strong discus is than how weak triple rings is), and it costs almost the same as multilayered rings. Lastly, the piercing effect is incredibly valuable in pve. As for PVP, while discus is less useful triple rings is very underrated. It's hard to dodge both hits and when spammed or combo'd with other things (such as ancient death rancor) it's not uncommon to create scenarios where damage is unavoidable. The second time I went through the dlc I used my golden order build and it's absurd how easily everything died to a spell that costs 3 fp. Discus is the best bread and butter pve ranged spell in the game, people just get scared off by the measily 13 int requirement.

what about the beast tornado, i didn't test it myself but it looked interesting

Please make a build like the Int one please.

These kinds of videos will boost subs id imagine

Still missing some type of incantation that can compete with Swift Glintstone Shard and Star Shower. We really do lack a fast, long ranged spam incant. All the new ones are slow casting, low range and punished by magic users so easily. Also what the hell is Rain of Fire... Such a cool looking incant but I'm just providing my opponent with a toasty warm shower for them to bathe in. Useless for anything else.

either of the Bayle incantations any good?

I heard miquella's light damage stacking is bugged. Doesn't benefit from dryleaf seals. It could potentially be very strong for invasions if fixed.

Huh I tried Messmer's Orb like twice on random trash mobs and found it underwhelming, looks like I need to test it out more.

Light of Miquella seems good to use on coop

Go pick up that item 😊

3:11 ayoo😭

best incantations still golden vow+flame grant me strength xD

Multilayer ring of light is good, definitely better than triple ring of light but no where near as good as discus of light. For 3 FP you can beat the game, it's worth the low int requirement

But are they as cool as being a magical bug woman

Discus of light is easily better than the multilayered rol, it costs 3fp compared to 23, hits twice for one cast, and is super easy to use early, and its really spammy. Its never failed me, my faith build always has this in slot, although for pvp the multilayered is super awesome, people forget it stays awhile

7 min video lol seems accurate

I don't have anything to say about incantations, so I'll just say that.

It’s so disappointing that we barely got any new viable incantation. Fire coil is a craft-able item which functions similar to fire serpent but has longer range and does some pretty heavy damage.

Heal from Afar needs a patch. It’s overtuned and invalidates all other healing options.

Having finally gotten a full body dragon transformation only for the coolest dragon communion spells to be absolutely worthless was a heavy blow. The flame lightning can be useful in co-op in niche situations but... yeah. Ghostflame breath is an incredibly boring rehash. I was really hoping they'd commit more to the dragon theme of the Jagged Peak :/ Great list of cool spells, might give Messmer orb another shot. But having to resort to old reliables like Agheel's flame to deal real damage sucks.

For PVE, Rotten breath is the best spell in the game. Swarm of Flies is a close second. The new heal from afar is clutch AF. I've now killed all DLC bosses but 3, at level 1 with no weapon upgrades.

Agree on all of them, but I'm surprised messmers orb isn't on here. Only downside is you can get knocked out of the cast by some enemies, but if you do land it, it stun locks a good amount of enemies on the initial hit and the explosion causes a ton of damage and also knocks them back

I wish sorceries got this much love...guess this is payback for how boring offensive faith builds were in the past.

Challenge for you scoot, please come up with a good pvp faith build that’s comparable to your int mage build! I feel like there’s got to be something that can come close to int combos, I’ve been cooking, but I’m interested to see what your pvp mind comes up with.

No funny tiny tree spell SMH my head fake list

Only OGs remember when this was a DBD channel.

Gotta love how this guy never says "in my opinion", he actually believes he speaks literal fact 😅 but hey I love incants so I'm here
