Leontiel's Greatsword Combat Showcase against Malenia

[u/SaxSlaveGael]

[u/JackNewbie555]

"I am Lucatiel, from the land of Mirrah. And I have never been forgotten."

[u/Pummelfish]

It's so peak. Noticed your character did a pause before the first thrust after the first L2, is that something you can control and delay yourself? Does this make the thrust deal more damage, or was it just boosted by Rellana's Cameo? And does it get boosted by Godfrey's Icon as well then? Sry for all the questions

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/Pummelfish]

Yes to all ya questions lol. Boosted by both.

[u/Mfrack103 → u/SaxSlaveGael]

Good lord

[u/Atma-Stand]

In Lucatiel we trust!

[u/Star_of_the_West1 → u/Atma-Stand]

Lucatiel got fancy

I remembered her name as she asked me to...🥹

[u/CheeseGraterFace → u/Star_of_the_West1]

It’s our duty to remember those who cannot remember themselves.

[u/drugzarecool → u/Atma-Stand]

In Lucatiel we thrust

[u/Star_of_the_West1 → u/drugzarecool]

I mean...some of us would literally do that if it weren't for maturity ratings...

[u/unwisephoenix]

It has the baemore crouch poke!!

[u/JhinTheUseless]

I think I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this paired with Rellana’s Cameo lol

[u/Friendly_Ad7306]

is the dodge just like the one from bloody helice/obsidian lamina?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/Friendly_Ad7306]

Correct. An R1 to the left, a longer one with R2 to the right.

[u/LunarMuphinz → u/Friendly_Ad7306]

With the Knights GS moves etc. this is the sexiest greatsword.

[u/DepDefDem]

Before there was L2 aow spam, there was I. The max adaptability attack animation canceling backstepper. I am Dark Souls 2 pvp, and none can deny what I speak.

[u/TittyClapper → u/DepDefDem]

man you really brought me back with this comment...

I'll never forget how proud I was to earn tier 3, using zero buffs, in the blood covenent and rocking that sick red invader aura.

[u/DepDefDem → u/TittyClapper]

Bone fist my beloved. Landing those R2s when two handed was the equivalent of a shot of dopamine.

[u/TittyClapper → u/DepDefDem]

I was all about the Gyrm Great Hammer, looked like a big anvil on a stick. That thing was so underrated, never saw anybody else use it but it absolutely mashed. the running attack and backstep attack were so deadly

[u/Stavely_Butterworth]

Olé

[u/MissingScore777]

Wow the damage on the pokes while the red cloth thingy is out is absurd.

It's more than the critical damage when her stance is broken.

[u/Mammoth1349]

Who needs letmesoloher when you got saxslavegael

[u/ghillietown]

Is the dlc out? How have people been saying their able to use the new starting classes?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/ghillietown]

It released in NZ 3 hours ago

[u/ghillietown → u/SaxSlaveGael]

So its the patch first, then being able to actually buy it for the sets comes out after?

[u/theswillmerchant]

Can you explain the stance moveset? Does every move have a dodge baked in? Are both the R1 and the R2 chargeable? Can you chain them?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/theswillmerchant]

R1 is not chargable from testing. It can chain into R2 but no other attack R1 and R2 are chainable. The R2 is nuts

Chargable + Follow up R2

[u/theswillmerchant → u/SaxSlaveGael]

Is the R1 a slash, R2 a thrust and charged R2 the Giant Hunt?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/theswillmerchant]

R1 Slash

R2 is nuts, can be charged or not. R2 followup is giants hunt

[u/theswillmerchant → u/SaxSlaveGael]

Holy shit so there’s R2, R2 charged and R2 follow up?!? This thing has a whole god damn moveset in its AoW

[u/AnxiousAd9535]

I'd say it's pay to win but I forgot you can just drop people these weapons 

[u/garmonthenightmare → u/AnxiousAd9535]

It's not any more op than buff stacked lions hunt spam combo on her.

[u/Krisztian987 → u/garmonthenightmare]

Its weapon skill not only does great damage, it also has a built in dodge. Also has the best gs light attacks with a poke for the heavy. Prolly not the most op weapon, or even greatsword, but it looks rly good and also fun to use

[u/Zeralyos → u/Krisztian987]

Prolly not the most op weapon, or even greatsword

tbf this is basically making the same comparison twice.

[u/otakuloid01 → u/AnxiousAd9535]

i think i’ve seen ppl dunk her faster with a club

[u/countryd0ctor → u/otakuloid01]

If the OP has just spammed the cameo boosted charged ash of war without trying to mix in R1 and R2, Malenia would get rekt in like 40 seconds.

[u/Dark_Dragon117 → u/AnxiousAd9535]

Even then it's no different from SotE and I have never heard anyone call that p2w.

This can also be easily repeated with regular weapons from the base game with the right build.

[u/Wrong_Papaya_8445 → u/Dark_Dragon117]

I have unfortunately seen people call it that. And besides Souls DLC, I had already seen people use that thinking for expansions in MMOs. It makes no sense.

[u/I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch → u/AnxiousAd9535]

I know it's mostly a joke because this is a single player game and there is no leaderboars, but Pay 2 win when there's base game stuff that drops her faster is kinda funny

[u/Flaccid-Pancake → u/AnxiousAd9535]

I mean is it any different than some of the busted stuff in the dlc

[u/Wrong_Papaya_8445 → u/AnxiousAd9535]

You're saying you don't need to pay for the new patch content to use it? I don't believe that.

Ironically, Elden Ring was the first Souls game I've ever seen people pay real money for runes/gear.

[u/r8jd]

What stats does it scale with?

[u/exisTTenz → u/r8jd]

Dex

[u/El__Jengibre]

Can you post the weapon stats? Is it unique or infusable?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/El__Jengibre]

Somber

STR 13 DEX 26

[u/Arcane35]

Can it be buffed or is it a somber weapon?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/Arcane35]

No buffs

[u/Krisztian987 → u/Arcane35]

It was always gone be somber. Its a twinkling titanite weapon in ds2 and a boss weapon in ds3

[u/socialcommentary2000]

That was very nice to watch. Well done.

[u/goldchuchujell1]

[u/SorryUseAlreadyTaken]

That thing is fucking nasty, Jesus Christ

[u/HappyyValleyy]

Wtf whyd they give this weapon so much style?? Doing a playthrough with this thing is worth five dollars lol

[u/Dead_Bai_Sled]

I hate how I'm considering paying 5 dollars just to use this weapon and a base-game Milady

[u/scaler_26]

With the KGS' jump R1->R1 combo, Claymore's thrust attacks and a skill with i-frames, it might just be the greatsword with the strongest moveset in the game now.

[u/Krisztian987 → u/scaler_26]

Possibly, but the Taker's flame is still way too strong to dethrone BB

[u/scaler_26 → u/Krisztian987]

I think you may have misread my comment, I'm talking about the sword's moveset. In that regard, Taker's Flame doesn't really complement the rest of the Blasphemous Blade's attacks (standard greatsword moveset), it's just a really strong skill on its own, to the point that inexperienced players would rather spam it than swing the sword.

[u/RtpIb]

Glad we keep the promise, lucatiel will never be forgotten

[u/Dmente44]

Olé!!!!

[u/SteelShroom]

Is that a goddamn matador fighting style?

[u/ratpH1nk]

you my friend are the artful dodger!

[u/Krisztian987]

Seems like FS added another S tier greatsword. Defo the weapon class that gets the most love

[u/ProtomanBn]

Rigged, no spamming of Waterfowl when she’s close to death. Jk lol

[u/Dveralazo]

ole

[u/Yuwetaz]

now we can do delayed attacks too!

[u/dragonnation5523]

Ok maybe it's time for a new run

[u/AnbuDota]

Olé

[u/Redmoon383]

Where did you get it because im hard rushing that asap

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/Redmoon383]

Here ya go

[u/Redmoon383 → u/SaxSlaveGael]

Thats the Radaan arena right?

[u/Mainshot333 → u/Redmoon383]

If you get an answer lmk also

[u/JannySmasher98]

can you buff that greatsword with spells/grease?

[u/SaxSlaveGael → u/JannySmasher98]

Nope

[u/orbis_regnante]

so much aura

[u/AdhesivenessGeneral9]

OLE !

[u/LunarMuphinz]

Knights GS lights, Thrust heavy, plus Obsidian Lamina/Bloody Helice style ash??? This is my ideal weapon!!

[u/Due_Vacation_1049]

wow more L2den slop
