      And with Rusty taking time to work on other weapons (especially since he's already took time to work on 101 Sorceries and knows the game inside-out at this point), it's not unexpected to see more weapon class rankings whithin the next couple months.

And erdsteel dagger with impaling thrust, into charged heavy, into another charged heavy for the followup, are killing great bears and magmadragons and NPC invaders for me :).

    the Reforged Mod has given a lot of love to these daggers that I think cover a lot of the weakness outlined here, the black knife has a destined death buff on the weapon after using the weapon art, blade of calling got stance damage increase that matches skills like unsheathe or impaling thrust, the crystal dagger got better scalling and frostbite buildup added to it, the glintstone kris also doubles as a catalyst, the scorpion stinger has poison build up included

  • @SilverFoxR
    @SilverFoxR Год назад +9

    I'm glad it was mentioned that the Bandit's Knife pairs well with Reduvia, because it's almost the ideal option on NG runs before you can get another Reduvia. If you build your Bandit's Knife with Arcane or Blood (heck, even Keen), it pairs super well as an off-hand with Reduvia, turning your character into an absolute blender. Bleed procs are going to just fly off of whatever you hit with this combo and is probably the best dagger set-up (until you can just dual-wield Reduvias).

    Erdsteel dagger is just so satisfying on a faith build, slap sacred blade on it and the damage goes up to over 600 on a weapon that can hit two to three times before a UGS can swing. I really love it on a light roll build, combo with some good incants to increase your options and range and it's a real threat in the Arena. Haven't lost many fights yet.
    Just got back into things for the DLC and really connected with the feel of using just one dagger either 1 handed or 2 handed. Catches people off guard when they are in their full on heavy armour and massive weapons ready to trade blows and then I come at them with a dagger and they can't catch me. I know it's not the strongest build, bleed seems way stronger but in general I have no issues.

  • @ExitusPax
    @ExitusPax Год назад

    So as a Dagger/Claw user, I gotta throw my 2 cents in here. Most of your list I Agree with minus two things.
    1) I wouldn't really even put Wakazashi on this list because it basically has a specific job. It is exclusively meant to be paired with another Katana. When upgraded, it shares the same damage output and moveset as the Uchigatana. You will literally get the same damage as power-stancing Uchigatana as you would power-stancing Uchigatana + Wakazashi. Wakazashi's motion-values skyrocket when exclusively paired with another Katana (and not another Wakazashi). It also gets immensely reduced stamina costs on the power-stanced attacks in addition to reduced weight, with the downside being the shorter reach.
    2) I would personally put Erdsteel Dagger in S-Tier territory on a pure Faith build. I've tried out many other setups and no other Dagger beats this Dagger in terms of Raw damage output when you dump into Faith and infuse it with Faith or Sacred. It may not have status buildup, but it still slaps. Similar to the Wakazashi, this Dagger has a job: Give a Pure Faith build a solid Melee weapon. Most caster builds require you to make a sacrifice to your weapon damage output. This Dagger takes that concept and yeets that sh*t right out the window (just like Clayman's Harpoon for Magic builds). I borderline easy mode this game Power-stancing these things combined with the Black Knife armor to make a Black-Flame Faith Ninja while using Cipher Pata as a backup because they weigh nothing.

The main issue was that sometimes I literally couldn't hit bosses even at point blank because of the size of their collision, and required a bit of finagling or just spamming reduvia blood blade

    Just finished a playthrough with the Bloodstained daggers. It was lots of fun, but now that I get to use longer weapons with my other character, it feels so much more comfortable to play.

    One note about Black Knife in PVP: If your connection is subpar, even if you dodge you still receive the health debuff and the damage over time if it connected on their screen. Because netcode is shit.

    • @tinminator8905
      @tinminator8905 Год назад +1

      That is not the reason. It uses the same code as statuses. If you get hit during your i-frames in your roll, you won't take damage but status is still applied. Since the hit detection for the black blade effect is the same as for statuses it still applies through i-frames.

    There's a wolf on the scorpions stinger because originally there were going to be more scarlet rot ancestral followers than the one in the lake of rot. They have more of a connection with the red wolves of radagon.

    Erdsteel Dagger is my best friend tbh. Pure faith “pyromancy” build, and I wanted minimal physical stats with great faith scaling, and this was effectively my best option.

  • @GameTheComos

    I used a duel wield reduvia build but later adjusted it to a shield and dagger loadout to trip up the mimic tear boss. The boss is only an issue to fight if its better at using the weopons you are using. Turns out shield and dagger is a crazy build because you sacrifice parry if you still want to use the daggers blood loss ability.

    Re: the wolf on the Scorpion's Stinger:
    The Beast Champion armor says that "Beasts are drawn to champions, and to Lords" and the Raging Wolf armor says "According to the old legends, wolves are the shadows of the Empyrean." Additionally, we know that wolf-like Shadows like Blaidd and Maliketh are created by Fingers to serve Empyreans, and even our own character, the Tarnished on No Renown, has wolf companions that follow them (Lone Wolf Ashes: "Spirits of wolves chased from their pack. They later encountered a nameless Tarnished, who welcomed them as hunting companions.") So to me it makes perfect sense that the previous avatar of the Rot God, who was probably an Empyrean, had a close enough relationship with some wolf or other that their followers would put the image of a wolf on their ceremonial tool to honor them.

    The Scorpion's Stinger sees more value when paired with other daggers that can be infused with Ashes of War and used in the left hand with power stance.
    The combo attacks you can perform with power stance on daggers is bonkers and triggers status effects real quick on enemies. Pair it with a weapon that can poison and watch bosses that are vulnerable to these stats take both rot and poison damage.
    Your criticism of the weapon itself is 100% valid, though, you need to dedicate yourself to a poison/rot build to make proper use of this particular dagger.

    Happy to see Erdsteel Dagger so high! Recently did a fth/dex dagger playthough and it was the MVP of the run lol. You can get two in a single playthrough and dual wielding them with Flame Arc + whatever I needed ended up resulting in a really fun and flexible spellblade build.

    Lets not forget Black Knife or Blade of Calling death proc stacks with black blade incantation. Good for initiating a fight with large health pool enemies especially in late NG's.
    Don't sleep on AOW sticks, no matter their weight. Scepter of All knowing and Envoy's Greathorn's debuffs are meaty and both last 60 seconds. These are good too.

    Dont rank by effectiveness which will make the video relevant for about 2 months, rank them by how cool they are regardless if they're so bad they're worthless or so good they're frustrating

    Funny thing is, my first playthrough, I almost exclusively used a bleed infused Misericorde, as this is my first Souls game. I liked daggers, but I didn't even know how parrying worked, so all throughout the game, I just used that, with a little bit of backstabbing, and a Brass Shield, only getting into incants at the end of the run

    I'll offer a non-expert's meagre defense for the Wakizashi.
    1 - It looks cool. I freely admit that is its strongest asset, which is a piss-poor argument on its own, unless one cares about Fashion Souls.
    2 - It provides an unexpected variety to the katana powerstance abilities that most people overlook. Everyone mentions that it powerstances with katanas, but neglect to mention that in all other ways, it remains officially a dagger. What that means is that it is a katana that can use arts of war that are usually reserved for daggers, and that in turn means exactly what you think it does! Quick step, blood step, Assassin's Greed, these can all be used on the fly in powerstance. If you're not usually using those, then the Wakizashi is useless to you, for sure. But if you've ever wanted to be a ninja who can use all the crazy dagger powers while still wrecking enemies with two Katanas, well now you can.
    My personal favourite is to use Assassin's Greed, and just sneak up on people and burst damage them with whatever katana I feel like wrecking with that day (usually an Uchigatana with the Slice art, because it's basically a poor man's Rivers of Blood right out of the gate.)
