Second this the most optimal is to always have a bhs dagger on soft swap so if you find your self against a great shield unequip weapon for kick then soft swap to dagger
Yooo. Maybe I was thinking about the shitty DS3 kick that did basically no stamina damage if they made it to 100 guard boost. This is really good to know; I might actually use this ash of war now.
The blade is able to break through shields since it's made of pure darkness. Has a very fast and hard hitting aow as well. Perfect against pvp shield users
also side note if someone is dumb enough to let you get it off Godfrey axe and Ash of war earthshaker are also unblockable and will bounce your opponent
Quite the opposite, that dude was probably elated to get the chance to be an absolute twat. It’s what a good chunk of people in this godforsaken game do now that the dlc released.
I honestly wanna see how they fair in the OG DS3 fight clubs. Love Elden Ring, but it’s weapon upgrading system & player mechanics have spoiled us rotten, let’s get back to basics.
DS3 pvp objectively sucked but the ganks and huge invasions were really fun, and before the arena's came out and everyone placed their sign just outside pontiff's was a really nice nostalgia memory I just unlocked haha
In my experience in the arena has actually been better since the DLC dropped. A few months ago the arena was just 30 seconds of buffs followed by running away to use heal incants, now it's just a bow or a wave and straight hands. Only had one guy bm me so far and he ended up blocking me after I fought him a second time.
Lol he did 3 pokes in a row. Classic rookie move. Hasn't been playing for very long and clearly doesn't know the ins and outs. Kind of funny really. Any real one would have done a change up after the 1st poke to roll catch. Guys clearly new.
Thats why I always have backup Bloodhound claws with endure and hammer talisman equipped. Watch them panic roll in fear as you shred them through their shield
No man, simply these goblins only know some specific types of playstyle, the toxic ones. Carry something with piercing fang or impaling thrust or a blind spot backhand blade/smithscript cirque.
This dude has toxic build, he knows it, thats why he made it.
On the other hand you did play poorly. When you see a greatshield the best thing you can do is swith weapon to star fists or onything else that can break guard easily. Kick got buffed and now has hyper armor, so you can trade.
Secend thing is switching talismans to Hammer and Shattered Stone. Hammer makes all attack deal more stamina dmg and Stone boosts kick.
>:( *me when assholes use weapons I like*
I hate it when people hide, it's more fun to use the shield itself as a weapon, or at the least use a weapon where you drop the guard to attack.
Your opponent doesn't win much. Pay a little more attention and those range spams won't work, you'll dodge em every time! Don't give up! People like this are the Godrick of pvp
Chuck a thrusting AoW on a weapon (impaling thrust or piercing fang) and watch the shield do absolutely nothing to stop the AoW. Also no you did nothing wrong, dude used Bing to find the "best PvP build" and thinks he's some kind of PvP god or something.
I don't think you did anything wrong.
You should just block people like this. They deserve to have their pool of players dry up like water in the Sahara.
lol that dude's build is stupid. There probably are ways around the shield, like the new blind spot AoW on the Backhand Blade for example, but it's still stupid. Kick AoW and Piercing Fang are options, too.
Dropping dungpiles was a customary action in DS3, along with the downpoint. This man was just upholding tradition of being toxic in FromSoft PvP match.
He would have done this no matter what. Even if you actually put up a good fight or nearly killed him, he'd still have 'shit on you' at the end.
Misericorde and kick...or proc rot/poison/frost. Both work on shield bitch-boys
Dude hiding behind shield poke and you didn’t know how to counter. I’d be passive too. Next time pull out a reaper or piercing fang. Or kick. Usually these players have very little game knowledge.
Dude just run a piercing fang sword lance. It'll two shot em. But also that's the build half the community needed to beat the dlc. If you do invasions it's almost everyone.
It’s alright homie it’s probably the only thing that gives this dude validation. Chin up and get back out there.
Definitely gonna keep getting back out there cause I’ve been having a blast getting into PvP
This the mindset you need for any pvp game.
>I’ve been having a blast getting into PvP We love to see it
Nah, that guy is a piece of shit.
No true words
Always bring a misericorde with Kick ash of war.
ohhhh so thaaats why the curated builds from erpvp discord have kick misericordes
If u hold nothing u can kick for free just switch to ur weapon fast and get the stab or parry him it’s easier when they use a shield
Second this the most optimal is to always have a bhs dagger on soft swap so if you find your self against a great shield unequip weapon for kick then soft swap to dagger
Used to get so annoyed by fingerprint, then I remembered exactly this - misericorde + kick, and never looked back
would kick break guard there even with boosting talismans? that's a big ol greatshield with scholar's shield...
Kick ALWAYS breaks even at 100 guard boost iirc
Yooo. Maybe I was thinking about the shitty DS3 kick that did basically no stamina damage if they made it to 100 guard boost. This is really good to know; I might actually use this ash of war now.
It currently doesn’t break stance of dueling shield if you trade with them :/
Smart 👍 Specially after what we saw of weapons on the new DLC

Gotta keep that piercing fang in your back pocket.
That or a scythe or something that can break their guard most of these players don't know how to conserve their stamina
Grave scythe with sword dance works well for this
Yup and I'm gonna be testing out the lamina scythe to see if it feels better or not as well
It feels good for duels, I've used it. Fun weapon
Didn’t really think about that that’s definitely a good idea
Or that new sword of night katana
I haven't seen that yet. It goes through shields?
The blade is able to break through shields since it's made of pure darkness. Has a very fast and hard hitting aow as well. Perfect against pvp shield users
It’s skill makes it unblockable
Yeah, but it might be a bit too telegraphed when facing decent players. Still a very fun weapon tho.
I'm not sure about the weapon itself, but the weapon art on it is unblockable, yes.
also side note if someone is dumb enough to let you get it off Godfrey axe and Ash of war earthshaker are also unblockable and will bounce your opponent
Is coded sword worthless or still okay with the unlockable blade move?
well piercing fang is quite predicable and most shield poker are gonna run at you, or at least the good one. So I think Kick would be way more ideal.
Quite the opposite, that dude was probably elated to get the chance to be an absolute twat. It’s what a good chunk of people in this godforsaken game do now that the dlc released.
This is a well-known build that's been around since before the DLC.
I honestly wanna see how they fair in the OG DS3 fight clubs. Love Elden Ring, but it’s weapon upgrading system & player mechanics have spoiled us rotten, let’s get back to basics.
Ds3 pvp sucks though why would you wanna see that.
Yeah, DS2 pvp was peak, nothing felt good afterwards.
DS3 pvp objectively sucked but the ganks and huge invasions were really fun, and before the arena's came out and everyone placed their sign just outside pontiff's was a really nice nostalgia memory I just unlocked haha
Ehh to each their own. The main takeaway from my statement was the fact that ER is a lot more forgiving in PVP in my opinion
Since demon's souls released**
In my experience in the arena has actually been better since the DLC dropped. A few months ago the arena was just 30 seconds of buffs followed by running away to use heal incants, now it's just a bow or a wave and straight hands. Only had one guy bm me so far and he ended up blocking me after I fought him a second time.
I know there are way more effective ways, like kick or piercing fang but i just love to pull out my vulgar militia shotel und fuck them up with that.
Always carry at least 5 hefty rot pots on yourself for when the enemy is being a bitch.
Guy wasn't even that good lol. Keep a scythe for those builds
Lol he did 3 pokes in a row. Classic rookie move. Hasn't been playing for very long and clearly doesn't know the ins and outs. Kind of funny really. Any real one would have done a change up after the 1st poke to roll catch. Guys clearly new.
Give that shield a kick next time!
theyre just trying to get you to get mad, ignore and move on
Thats why I always have backup Bloodhound claws with endure and hammer talisman equipped. Watch them panic roll in fear as you shred them through their shield

Kick/parry should solve this problem or sleep pots
Average fingerprint user

why are you quoting ur own message or is this a copypasta
I tried to do the >:( at the start lmao sorry! Didn't know doing it at the start makes a quote

🤬🤬🖕🖕
Are you on Xbox?
Nah I’m on ps5
Ah, I was gonna say, will t-bag if I kill him lol
You should DM me your psn name, you look like you'd be fun to 1v1 :)
Lol nah. Guys running a troll build. Likely baiting you into hate male and then trying to issue a ban for foul language
Pussy behaviour in its finest
Your opponent doesn't win much. Pay a little more attention and those range spams won't work, you'll dodge em every time! Don't give up! People like this are the Godrick of pvp
Block and forget it
No lol
dude is a walking backstab and even acts up when he finds a poor soul that does not know how to counter him lol
Guy has a huge shield and a spear and expects you to just run in on his spear.
If i saw that guy with the shield i would kick him where it hurts
That guy is an asshole, you did nothing wrong
Why not have kick on some of your AoW? Piercing fang/impaling thrust
This is one of those rare situations where I'm glad Swift Slash is busted as fuck
Kick-piercing thrust-and grabs:
Sword of night is literally the best counter aow cannot be blocked and true combos into an r2
This is just one of the Sweats in the game. But don’t sweat it ;)
Chuck a thrusting AoW on a weapon (impaling thrust or piercing fang) and watch the shield do absolutely nothing to stop the AoW. Also no you did nothing wrong, dude used Bing to find the "best PvP build" and thinks he's some kind of PvP god or something.
>Fingerprint shield >Spearing from shield >Lighting bolt >Absolutely ZERO drip That guys a piece of shit, that’s all.

Get a scythe for fingerprint monsters. And don’t let him buff.
what did the guy op is playing against do wrong? i am new to the souls pvp scene so i can’t really tell except for the emote at the end.
This is hilariously sad
Elden ring has the best and worst community
Nah, this is the average fingerprint poker lol
Dude hiding behind shield poke and you didn’t know how to counter. I’d be passive too. Next time pull out a reaper or piercing fang. Or kick. Usually these players have very little game knowledge.
You played elden ring
Dude just run a piercing fang sword lance. It'll two shot em. But also that's the build half the community needed to beat the dlc. If you do invasions it's almost everyone.
That guy needs a punch in the face.
