“If everything is OP, is anything really OP” - Socrates

“It makes good use of talismans like winged sword insignia, rotten winged sword insignia, Millicent’s prosthesis, as well as the thorny cracked tear which all boost damage on successive hits”

I'm waiting for: "Flails are OP" video

2 handing twin blade has a unique playstyle where you can push hard into the enemy and alternate between blocking and light attack and just kind of.... roll around the enemy in a way that looks like you are dancing... I don't know how to describe it better than that, but it's really a unique feel to the in close combat movement

I replaced RoB with dual wielding Eleonora's Poleblade and Godskin Peeler and never looked back. So fun and it shreds

Godskin peeler is amazing even without bleed. The running r2 is insane. I used it on my third playthrough in ng+ on a dex faith build with keen infusion and its so fun.

A good thing about Twin blades is that you can put Black Flame Tornado in it, paired with the right talismans it can shred the HP of big enemies

Elleonora's melts mobs insane. Really fun to use due to ash and unique R2

I really think we should get a Quarterstaff "Twinblade" as another naturally Dexterity scaling Strike weapon. Natural scaling of a certain type matters if you want to, for example, make a weapon have Cold affinity without heavy investment into Intelligence.

Speaking of Eleonora's Poleblade, you can keep your Dex and Str stats just to meet the weapon requirements (21 & 12) and use all your points in Arcane. Instead of 50/50 dex/arc, with 21/79 you get almost the same AR but the Blood Loss buildup is much higher.

I've been rocking the Eleonora poleblade for most of my game and I'm a huge fan of this weapon! I would love to see newer, stronger versions in the upcoming DLC! Thanks for the video breaking these down for everyone!

This video made me realize how weird it is that 3/6 twinblades are found in Altus Plateau and 2 of those are in the windmill villages

My first playthrough I was doing mostly a strength build and I used the Gargoyle's Twinblade with Seppuku paired with Twinned Knight Swords with cold affinity. Even in my NG+ playthroughs, if I'm having trouble using a new setup on a boss, my goto is dual-wielding twinblades and trying to land as many jump attacks as I can.

This guy really put the Twinblade of Abundance and Decay in the thumbnail and thought we wouldn't notice.

Another awesome Video. I’m glad you all are doing the smaller/rarer weapon groups first. Helps give attention to lesser known weapons and builds. Also, nice touch adding the green and red highlights over the damage numbers when comparing to the other weapons.

Twin blade is one of the few weapons in which I actually prefer the 2h move set over dw .

With the twinblade+blood flame buff, you can make a really cool darth maul build.

I love this series, thank you so much for breaking it all down like this!

I'm currently powerstancing twinblades, with the standard Twinblade with Ice Spear ash in my right hand and Eleonora's Pole Blade in my off hand, and I find it very fun. This lets me build both Frost and Bleed effects, while the flame of the Pole Blade resets the Frost so I can proc it again. Besides the jumping L1, I also really like the running L1 attack.

Best blades for each setup I can think of *Cold Dual wield - two cold gargoyle Twinblades* with magic shrouding cracked tear, raptor’s black feathers, and claw talisman *blood buildup - two occult seppuku Godskin peelers* with raptor’s black feathers, claw talisman, lord of bloods exultation and white mask *Strength one hand - crag blade heavy gargoyle twinblade* with stonebarb cracked tear and shard of Alexander *Strength-Arcane build - Eleonora and fire gargoyle twinblade* with white mask, lord of bloods exulatation, raptor’s black feathers, claw talisman, and fire shrouding cracked tear *Faith-Arcane build - eleonora and flame art gargoyle twinblade* with white mask, lord of bloods exulatation, raptor’s black feathers, claw talisman, and fire shrouding cracked tear *strength int build - crag blade heavy gargoyle twinblade left and ice spear cold godskin peeler in right hand* with raptor’s black feathers, claw talisman, shard of Alexander, magic shrouding cracked tear, and rogier’s whole set All with thorny cracked tear, Millicent’s prosthesis and rotten winged sword insignia

I played with your Eleonora's Poleblade build mid to late game and it was really fun. An amazing weapon.

Gargoyle's Twinblades has GREAT Strength scaling while blood infused, at 40str/40 arc it gets over 500 AR and 125 bleed buildup, bleeds higher than Eleonara's and the damage isnt split AND it can use Sepukku. I've been using it on a guard counter build and it wrecks, changing to 2 hand for enemies I can't/don't wanna block gives a nice changeup in moveset. Looks dope with Tree Armor and Golden Greatshield.

Two handing Eleonora's Poleblade before you summon a mimic makes the mimic do insane damage. The bleed procs will allow it to solo lots of bosses.

You can get the Knights Twin Blade early in the game. Just grab the two dectus medallions, and you can access Atlas Plateau without having to fight anything. You'll have to dodge some tough enemies but the twin blade is just lying next to a fire in the middle of a small windmill village. You can also /try/ to grab the godskin peeler if you really wanna try fighting that guy at low level.

what's the jagged blade weapon in the middle of the thumbnail, none of the twinblades have that blade.. or is it just used for clickbait?

Omg they got the Miquella Twinblade in the thumbnail 💀

I ran Eleanora in one hand and an ice knights twinblade in the other. The jump attack talisman and armor turned me into a Cuisinart - while the fire, ice, and blood procs proved to be a blast.

In the thumbnail how the hell you get the picture of twinblade euporia before the dlc were announce

Eleonora's Twinblade can actually be accessed very quickly since you only need to defeat one boss (the two Iron Maiden Virgins OR the Magma Wyrm in the tunnel) depending which way you go and Yura's quest is on the path anyways. Same applies to Twinned Knight Swords since it's also in Altus. Either take the normal path up to Altus without the Dectus, or use the Iron Maiden in Raya Lucaria to end up in Volcano Manor. Both put you very close. You can use the Dectus Medallion to skip fighting a boss, but it would take some more time since you need to take a detour for the keys.

Eleonora's poleblade + dragon communion seal has been super fun so far

Great video, sharp, concise, to the point. Also, you have a great narration voice. Keep it up!

There’s a euphoria in the thumbnail but this video was 2 years ago….

The ash of war on the godskin peeler black flame tornado is actually really good for racking up damage if you charge it

my first playthrough was entirely with the base twinblade, i adore them so much man

Eleonora's poleblade is the most satisfying weapon to use for me. The ash of war feels so good to use, regular and heavy attacks feel very nice, and the aow does enough poise damage that it is easy to use against bleed resistant enemies too.

If u can get someone to drop u a 2nd godskeen peeler with one ice and the other bleed the damage is absolutely crazy. Especially with all the talismans.

The poleblade is the only twin blade I have been unable to find, other than that it’s lookin pretty good. I use godskin peeler with blood loss buildup, the fully upgraded version can stagger most enemies in the game even into the late game. It’s nice and versatile

Thank you! These videos are very helpful and I appreciate your insight. I am looking forward to the video that covers axes. I don’t see many being used and I have always been a fan of axes.

I’m so happy that Fextralife and It’s shatter are keeping the ER build guides coming

yesterday I was thinking about using a twinblade but I wanted to know the options, I looked for a video and didn't find a decent one, so I said to myself better wait for a video from fex to know better😅 great timing

I haven’t played as much as I’d like but I started out as the wretch and been using twin blades.

I thought these were called “Darth Mauls”

I appreciate your in-depth guides on weapon types.

For me, personally, a twinblade is designed to be dual wielded. I'm not a huge fan of the moveset while single wielding it (both visual and performance wise). I won't deny the appeal of turning your character into a Kaman Kmax while using one in both hands but even that is not enough to change my view on the matter. I like my twinblade to be twinblading (just my opinion. If you disagree with me, that's obviously fine). Also, I concur about Eleonora's poleblade being very strong and, in fact, I would go as far as advising to keep an eye on it in the future since River of blood had now been nerfed. Its ash of war requires a bit of getting used to, its behaviour feeling a bit chaotic at first, but once you understand how it works and how to space out to get the best out of it, it melts enemies and bosses' health bars like snow under a scorching sun (especially if you combine it with the usual, white mask, exultation, winged swords and other jar bro talisman...).

Power standing Gargoyle twinblade w/ a cold infusion on a str/int build. Has been working great through NG+ at level 175. Never realized it had the shortest range though!

Hey Fextralife great videos, your team is amazing and I hope you're having much fun creating these. Just wanted to mention the gargoyles twinblade portion has an editing error where it shows the map for the godskin peeler location when mentioning the ashes it can be infused with. Just wanted to let you know since I didn't seemed to see a comment mentioning it, my bad if that wasn't the case.

I use a Vigor, Strength and Endurance build with any strength scaling weapon I can find. I recently started using the Gargoyle Twin Blades so this was very helpful.

You can also just speedrun fort haight and the other fort in caelid i forgot the name of to get the dectus medaljong parts. With them, just steal the glintstone key for Raya lucaria with or without killing smarag, then get to Raya lucaria, go through the entrance, go to the next glinstone key place and then go to the grand lift of dectus and there you go now you're at Atlus Plateau. it will be hard to get a lot of the twinblades unfortunately still, but it is possible If you are dedicated.

I love your site it helped me get all the ashes of war thx

Used the Dragon Burnt Twinblades from pretty early on until if managed to kill Eleanora for her weapon. Dual weild is great and for some magic I put the phalanx Ash of War on the normal Twinblade. It's the best experience I've had playing a Soulsborne game.

After Endgame I really love the idea of Twinblades

I like twin blades, I played all my playthrough with a single one handed sword, then I realized that I could be playing with two blades in one hand With Eleonora's poleblade I also feel like Darth Maul. Great video!

Godskin Peeler for the Win!

Im really hoping the next vid in this series is for straight swords. They are my main and I would like to have the most specific info for them, like what the best infusions are for them.

Something I just discovered that I don't think the video mentions: twinblades have a unique R2 and charged R2 on horseback. Some kind of spinning attack. I haven't tried it in combat yet, but if it hits multiple times you might be able to proc status effects pretty quickly.

Lol I appreciate the title satire lol I was about to call you out on it lol

This video is a year old yet there's already euphoria twin blade on the cover

Which one would be best for a Poise Breaker build?

You can actually get the twinned knight blades super early game, like within an hour and a half. Just go straight for the dectus medallion halves first then you can actually go around stormveil castle by going straight off the pathway when it curves to the left, a little after the shack Rodrieka is in. There's a broken bridge, but if you go up to where it's broken, you can go to the left and there's a hidden path you can take to pass the castle.

Best series of videos!

X, L1, X, L1, X, L1, X, L1, X- Accidentally jumps off a cliff.

These are the best weapon guides!

Regardless of the subject this guys video format is great. The information set up and execution is spot on.

Thank you for the breakdown.

I am using the twin blade that is found early in the game. It's 10 lbs. I am using it with cold affinity and the ash of war Hoarfrost stomp. Thx!

Maybe you could try making a dual Twinblades build that use cold and bleed effects

I love twin blades ! Specially looks and feels very cool when double handed

If I'm confusing you with another KZfaqr, I apologise. Do you think you could update this video with an Excel chart like you've done for other weapon types? (Best for Keen, Best for Blood, etc.) Interesting fact from my recent playthrough: a +20 Twinned Knight Swords has almost double the bleed build up as a +9 Eleanora's Poleblade. (103 instead of 62).

I literally tested my twinblade build on the Omens in subterranean shunning grounds. How did he know?

These are the best full breakdown videos.

I'm so happy they brought these back, one of the best weapons from DS2

right now i’m doing a dragon communion build, and i’m gonna try out eleonoras pole blade. it seems really good, and plus you look like darth maul

You missed the main pro on elanoras poleblade, the fire damage that it deals resets the cooldown on blood loss buildup after it takes effect, meaning you can hit fast, build bleed, then when the enemy takes the percentage damage from bleed buildup the fire damage resets the debuff that stops it from happening again too quickly on normal bleed weapons, as taking fire damage is the only way to make the debuff dissapear without waiting for it to go, i think its like 30 seconds before another bleed damage buildup can take effect normally, but with this twinbade you can do it indefinately.

Damn the outro hit hard bro, crazy music

Plz make a level 150 version for the blood dancer. Could you also make a "hand of god" or "son of demigod" build I feel like you could make this work so well and look like they were god related

Eleanore's Poleblade (main) + Twinned Knight Swords (Blood Infusion w/ Seppuku AoW, off-hand) is easy mode for all bosses on NG+2. Jump+L1 is a BLEED/Stagger machine. With all the Bleed-boosting talismans and White Mask, it's super-easy to drain bosses' bars under a minute.

Can't wait for "daggers are op" video

My favourite weapon type of Elden Ring. & more the basic twiblade is my favourite ^^' & it's at the very begining of the game ^___^' great !!

Eleanor's Poleblade all the way with the dragon seal.

Funny, because I just reallocated to an Arc based build last night, complete with Eleonora's Poleblade and an Occult Godskin Peeler (with Seppuku on the latter). And man, is that a blast to use. Absolutely shreds.

I use the dragon seal with my poleblade and the R2 attack is just as effective if its one handed. I usually switch between the two depending on the fight itself

I thought the title meant that liking a weapon made it the best weapon in Elden Ring for you specifically. Actually, it still means that. Because I say so!

Cold infusion with Ice spear weapon on Godskin Peeler with Eleonora. Spam jump attack and weapon art for Eleonora. Bleed will proc, then ice. Backup is a small dagger or even fist weapon with fire infusion to debuff the freeze status and bloodhound step. Had trouble with Elden Beast and final Draconic Tree Sentinel and Crucible Knight. The shield means it has to be timed to counter and makes it hard to poise break.

Thanks for the video on twin blades they really are an amazing weapon it's a shame we don't have more. Maby in the DLC they will get the respect they deserve. Loved your video as always keep up the great work!

First playthru was twinblade with ice spear skill. Gave it some range too. Super op

Lol the gargoyle twinblades with arcane/str and bleed affinity is nutty. Jump attack every boss to death in a few swings

It makes good use of talismans like winged sword insignia, rotten winged sword insignia, Millicent’s prosthesis, as well as the thorny cracked tear which all boost damage on successive hits

The moveset of the twinblades is probably my favorite amongst all weapons. You're basically dancing the Blood Song

Thank you for this! I really want to use a twin blade but i couldn't figure out the best set up for them! Great vid!!!

Two handed keen goodskin peeler buffed with holy is the funnest experience ever, my previous favorite was the powerstanced noble's slender swords, the moveset on the peeler is amazing especially two handed, pair with Loretta's set for the ultimate drip.

I mean the title is kinda accurate in the case of this video title he's not wrong when he mentioned the godskin pealer+elenora pole blade. That is one of the highest DPS builds in the game currently

Eleanora’s poleblade 👌👌perfection

Thanks a lot for the detailed builds videos! I've been binging a bunch of them, along with the "Best Weapon" videos like this one hehe Did the changes from 1.0.7 affect the dual-wielding for twinblades as well? If so, would it be better to use the two-hand wielding mode for them?

I used Twinned Knight Swords with bleed in combination with godskin peeler with ice to do jump attack strats, in one of my playthroughs. 👍

I love this series, can’t wait for daggers

I've recently been running an int/dex build. I swap between a few different aspects of the build using either the dark moon great sword, moonveil katana, helphels steeple, and wing of astel. However, no matter what weapon I use as my main weapon, I always have the cold twin blade with ice spear. It's fully upgraded and does about 636 damage but the ice spear ash of war does a ton of damage and, combined with Shard of Alexander, practically one shots most regular enemies and procs frostbite very quickly against the tanky enemies. I also will sometimes dial wield it with the godskin peeler with hoarfrost stomp and that's an awesome combo as well.

Very cool, I had thought about playing around with these as well, but have not as of yet. Thanks as usual, you madlad.

I wonder if these weapons pair well with the Thorny Cracked Tear 🤔

U rock. Thank you for your hard work.
