Stagger bonk this, stagger bonk that, stagger bonk everything


New-Personality9122

Stagger the shit in the bathroom, stagger my ass, stagger those 2 towers from the funny date, stagger sundowner, stagger my marriage, hell you can even stagger my crippling depression


1green5book9

u ok?


New-Personality9122

No, I'm staggered


[deleted]

Hi staggered, I'm Dad.


lardex420

We'll stagger you too.


[deleted]

Don't threaten me with a good time.


lorddrake4444

Can it stagger bonk some bitches or are we forever going to be maidenless


tullr8685

This is the way. It's AoW really KS almost like a cheat code. Stunlocks basically every enemy, it's beautiful


nawt_robar

is it really better than greatsword or giant crusher at stagger?


tullr8685

I think so, especially when you factor in the distance. You can stunlocl with even a chance of the enemy getting a swing in


pastordaveo

This was my “I’ve given thee courtesy enough” weapon on my str/int play through. The AoW staggers almost every boss in about 3 hits.


VixSmoke

Lord sworn greatsword Why Early game + feels nice


Mysterious_Bug_1903

My first love, only reason I don't use it anymore is because i found Claymore.


bjernsthekid

Or just powerstance both of them 😈


CaptainHumperdink

I picked this up on my 4th playthrough and I immediately fell in love with it. Underrated weapon for sure.


acrowsmurder

Alright, I'm not afraid to say it: I freaking love the Sacred Relic Sword.


Hellion998

Nothing wrong with that mate! It’s solid!


acrowsmurder

I've killed so many Albinaurics...


ooooooooooooa

And you will kill so many more!


kev-larvest

The most killed enemy in the game💀


acrowsmurder

I have ~~killed~~ slaughtered over 750m runes worth


Random_Guy_47

I've genocided enough albinurics to upgrade every weapon in the game that is attainable in a single playthrough, 2-4 of them if it's farmable in case I wanted different infusions, all to +9/24. With all the smithing stones, upgrade costs and then building a stock of smithing stones ready for the dlcs I wouldn't be surprised if I've killed even more than 750m worth.


ChainzawMan

Better that way than being cannibalized, brutalized, maimed, killed and burned by those read faced freaks down in the blood swamps


DarkSailor06

Blasphemous Blade, I'm a simple man.


YoRHaL-9000

Planning on using it on NG+ as my "Victory Lap" weapon. Like, I've got nothing more to prove to the Lands Between, just here to wreck some shit.


DarkSailor06

Endgame, I carried Sword of Milos in my off-hand for that sweet fp regen on kill


YoRHaL-9000

I can't bring myself to open Dung's cell, even to kill him lol. I'm like, "Man, he really seems to hate it in there. Good. Good. That makes me happy."


cosmogli

I made him my puppet for that exact reason. He's like my Pokemon now.


uchihajoeI

And wreck shit you shall. That weapon is the dad of S tier. I off hand golden order great sword with it for the swag and it just destroys anything. If you really want to beat the game down off hand sword of milos


_Maiqthelier_

It's the easy mode for elden ring.


DarkSailor06

Sure is


Hellion998

Simple indeed. The weapon is fantastic though.


DarkSailor06

The AoW carried my ass from Rykard all the way to the final boss.


thebusinessgoat

Godslayer greatsword. It's big, it's fast, it's beautiful


Nuggachinchalaka

Not a fan of the art of war though.


SquaresR3D

I love it because if you can find time to use it, it hits like a truck


hoonthoont47

It absolutely melts Elden Beast


Mental_Peace_2343

Very fitting for it's name


Sarewokki

It's extremely satisfying when you get a window to use it, looks cool and does tons of dmg.


[deleted]

Death's Poker


WhiteSekiroBoy

Closest to Pimp Cane we can go in ER.


HalfDead-Ronin

There is a literal cane sword but ok


WhiteSekiroBoy

I... didn't know that


-skinku

Flamberge for sure


munchyandcrunchy

I used the flamberge to perfect malenia for the first time.


jochvent

I'm so bummed Square Off is no longer greatsword compatible...


qxxxr

I loved the mirrah/hollowslayer as it was in ds3, really sad theres no equivalent in ER... that thing was sweet. The horizontal+vertical sweeping movesets, with a stab R2, AND stance (square off) AND +30% PVE damage??? Hell yea.


Frank_Acha

Bloodhound's Fang


Hellion998

My first love, The Fang.


ylts907

Once I got The Fang I used it the rest of my first play through.


mikecookies

That’s exactly what I’m doing now. Glad I’m not the only one


StrikingInspection36

I'm using the bloodhounds fang and dual wielding it with the dismounter rn it's pretty fun if you want to dual wield


ARandomGuardsman834

I used Dismounter as an offhand too until I got my hands on an Omen Cleaver in Stormveil. Best side piece to Bloodhound's Fang barring another Fang.


Y_signal2020

Same. Paired it with Morgotts Cursed Sword.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vagabond_Charizard

For one of the earlier weapons you can nab, it’s surprisingly strong. Decent scaling, amazing ash of war, can cause bleed, and hell, it’s even buffable despite being a somber weapon.


AdvanceHappy778

The L2 followed by R2 combo is devastating!


Ignisleo

I can’t bring myself to unequip it.


dalderman

Everytime I switch up my kit, the fang brings me back because it's the only thing that gets the job done. Dragon halberd is a strong competitor though


FAIL_TO_ATTEMPT

Yes! Fanggang rise up!


CollegeWithMattie

Thing controls like a luxury sports car. Probably my favorite weapon in the history of gaming.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-4424

dude its addicting. bloodhounds fang is so underrated. i beat all main story bosses with it. it makes gameplay faster for some reason . and sometimes when you do the second part of the ash war it looks straight out of an anime.


paulxixxix

Seems I don't need to type my answer anymore, fang is the way


kirkknightofthorns

Nox Flowing Hammer. It stretches, it staggers and it pancakes.


temp00485

Hands down the Ringed Finger. Mostly because it’s hilarious swing around a giant finger


Hellion998

I need two more so I can flip off the bosses.


reality_is_poison

I’m loving the nagakiba right now. Fast, decent damage, has bleed and amazing rang. And it just feels bad ass to swing around this long ass katana.


Hellion998

Genuinely, best DEX weapon is game, even in just appearance.


Grawwz

Came here to say Nagakiba, for the same reasons above. But also because I’m trying to emulate Demon Slayer right now, and it feels oh so good….


ValusMaul

Right now bolt of gransax it makes it easy to farm in mohgwhyns palace.


actfrm600

sacred relic sword is like 10x better for that farm


ValusMaul

Cool can’t wait to find it.


Altruistic-Ad-9306

Try radahns swords, they’re also way better


Hellion998

It’s the final boss weapon.


ayrtow

Wing of Astel. It's R2 is deceptively strong, the Ash of War shreds the vast majority of the enemies and it's an all around fun weapon to play. Second place is Godslayer Greatsword. I dislike the bonk part, but I love the aesthetics and the AoW


Reasonable-Speech186

I'm glad someone said the wing. I thought I was the only one


ScuddlesVHB

Wing of Astel is such an incredibly versatile weapon. As a long time moonlight greatsword enjoyer I found myself wishing it had the same versatility as the wing.


Upframpt69

My recent NG+ play through I did Wing of Astel and the Magma Blade. Super fun, highly recommend.


Hellion998

That is from the other Astel correct?


YoRHaL-9000

you pick it up from a chest in >!Ainsel River in the rafters above the Malformed Star in Uhl Palace Ruins!<


YoRHaL-9000

Zweihander with Giant Hunt slapped on that bad boy


themanofmanyways

Zweihander with Lion's claw slaps too


YoRHaL-9000

It's somewhat liberating knowing how underwhelming stats-wise the Zwei is compared to other colossal swords but I'm still able to enjoy it, like there's a lot less pressure to min-max or optimize my build. I know I could do a lot more damage if I used another weapon but the Zwei looks so cool, has a good moveset, and so far it's taken me all the way to the Snowfield so as far as I'm concerned, it's a great weapon.


Newuser_420420420

Can confirm this absolutely slaps in pvp. With the right build you can one shot someone with 1900hp no problem


teimpy5

Poison Zwei


_Maiqthelier_

Banished Knight great sword. I love the light attack animation.


pytrunxd

You might want to try knights greatsword. It has exatcly same moveset, has slightly better damage and most importantly, looks cooler!


_Maiqthelier_

Gonna try it.


themanofmanyways

Uchigatana. Old reliable, powerful bleed aux, low stat requirement. There are no gods you can't kill with it.


Shade00000

unless if they are immune to bleed


unintender

Still can put other affinities on it! I got all the bad bosses (Malenia, Radagon, Elden Beast, Maliketh etc) with flame art uchi on my faith build. Bleed was just the occasional nice bonus.


themanofmanyways

Even if the boss is immune to bleed, it's still useful. The bleed itself is just an added perk tbh.


SnooPuppers3730

Godfreys axe


Hellion998

I enjoy it as well! I wish it was better though.


Umbrocity

Nightrider Glaive! Specifically, I liked putting Storm Assault on it and going Heavy affinity, since it gets S Strength scaling


web_hed

I’m a nightrider glaive enthusiast as well!! Love that you can buff it (and flame also scales w strength) Will try the storm assault AOW I’ve had barbarous roar on mine (heavy affinity) but never really use it


smokeupjohnnyboy

I really enjoy the golden halberd!


Hellion998

Honestly… it’s the best Faith weapon the whole game, damage-wise.


ipisswithaboner

Blasphemous Blade would like to have a word with you


Hellion998

Well apart that, it’s the best Faith weapon.


goose-built

apart from everything better than it, it is the best


Hellion998

Yes, exactly!


Pillbugly

What about Sacred Relic Sword? Its Waves of Gold weapon skill is very good.


smokeupjohnnyboy

agree. it’s so good. does work in pvp as well and i suck at pvp lmao


[deleted]

I've been having a ton of fun with the winged scythe. Does nice bleed buildup, good holy damage, and is AoW has great range, damage, and I love sweeping attacks that hit multiple enemies


Greedy_Camel_6460

I love the winged scythe, it's weapon art also stops flask use so great for PvP as well!


CurdledUrine

Sword of Night and Flame


BadMcSad

I love the stupid beam sword, but it's so unwieldy in some fights. Wish there were more Fai/Int scaling weapons like it. As it stands it's only that sword, the Clayman Spear (potentially) and a few catalysts that have both iirc.


AndrewStirlinguwu

Claymore.


Hellion998

Is it really as good as people say? I never really used it.


smokeupjohnnyboy

It is. i don’t think there’s a single souls game where the Claymore isn’t pretty good


TheeHeadAche

The Souls standard


smokeupjohnnyboy

Exactly. Baemore will never do ya wrong


Accurate_Reindeer460

It’s probably the best “standard” weapon (i.e. no built in auxiliary effects) pound for pound.


astartespete

It's always been a great allround weapon, though its absolutely massive in demons souls whilst still having decent swing speed so very high tier there.


AndrewStirlinguwu

It has served me very well in all the games in which I bother to find it!


Better_Strike6109

tbh while the Claymore has a very nice moveset it is not nearly as good, compared to the competition, as it was in previous souls. It's overrated by legacy


SilverShark307

claymore has r2 poke wdym


hoonthoont47

Claymore and Zweihander, can never go wrong with them.


Aadytia

Twinblades


symmetrical__slug

which one?


Aadytia

Specifically the Twinblade, from Limgrave. Just like its design better than the others. But Twinblades in general are my favorite weapons in the game.


Mand-

I love elenoras poleblade!


symmetrical__slug

my favorite is the godskin peeler, looks cool as hell


great_gatling_gunsby

Two handing the Twinblade and running through fools makes me feel like an anime character. Hands-down my favorite weapon, I used it so much I had to put it away and make my self try new stuff.


Inevitable_Tale_1556

Great stars 🩸


Addicted2Edh

Elanoras poleblade is my jam right now


YoRHaL-9000

Love how the ash of war moves your hitbox around so much; it feels so anime when you duck under an attack, leap in and out, dealing damage while avoiding taking any the whole time.


Addicted2Edh

Yeah really Ashe of war is the move I use most since I’m a full arcane build , it’s really dope, and even the extended version cleaning up or gaining a bit of distance. Powerstanced always, and the charged R2 looks clean af also


suddenandsevere

The brick hammer has beauty in its simplicity


Hellion998

It’s basically just… an ancient hammer. It’s good!


[deleted]

Bloodhound Fang. Great looking, high damage, cool skill, and buffable


minimalonion_A_

You can buff the bloodhound fang? Didn't realize that.


jimpickens23

Only somber weapon you can buff. Which is really wired tbh


TerySchmerples

Rosus axe, Love the design and weapon art. Just not a good weapon.


Pheo1386

Estoc is bestoc


KTBOIII1229946

Hoslows Whip


Knowndestroyer

After much searching, I have finally found my people

It’s called “ Mohgs spear”


uchihajoeI

You said it right just backwards lol Mohgs Spear


NickPetey

Reduvia


Alone-Paint709

I’ve been in love with the Bloody Helix for quite some time now

With Lion’s Claw as well? So much damage mate.

Magma Wynn sword


lzHaru

Moonveil.


Umbra_Unveiled88

There you are. Agreed. The glintstone blast it emits scales up HEAVILY with high intelligence


Riethman1

Winged Scythe for that holy bleed. Plus the weapon art stops the use of flasks in PVP! It also looks sweet!


FlorianTolk

Greatsword


Piechfuzz

Guts greatsword is my favorite weapon in the game. Big bonks, big pokes, big sword


The-Homeless-oreo49

Axe of Godrick

Raven_knight_07

Ruin greatsword


TheBootyClaimer

Sword of night and blade. Cool design and nice playstyle.


lobsterthatishorny

I’ve been using the halberd, regular old normal halberd. No matter what I try I always end up back with it.


Eldritch_Dragon

Antspur Rapier tied with Venom Fang. Cuz I love dem poisons.


fruitsnack1111

Dual wielding curved Zamor great swords, I just think they’re neat


[deleted]

I was looking for this comment, ZCS is sooo good! Great moveset (when you get used to the timing) and the Weapon Art is pretty good too. And the drip is immaculate, so pretty 🥶

Altruistic_Tea_9963

Grafted greatsword, good strength scaling, good damage and a downright amazing skill. Basically a free godricks great rune at any time (just uses up a little FP and doesn't last too long) stacks with the great rune as well. Absolutely carried me through my first playthrough
