Strength builds are insane especially against malenia. Try malikeths black blade. This thing is my go for against malenia and elden beast After you landed a crit attack on malenia i immediatly press the AOW the starting swing stuns her for a brief moment and all follow up attacks land and knock her off again. Generally speaking, black fire and destined death themed weapons (black knife, MBB, etc.) are my fav things in elden ring, since late game everything is so ridiculously tanky
Strength builds get a lot of variety in ER because you can even make natural DEX weapons into STR with Heavy infusions. The Uchigatana for example gets an "A" in STR when Heavy-infused, so two-hand it for the 1.5x bonus and you have yourself a quick-hitting Strength weapon.
@@magnolia549 imo strength got even better, when they buffed poise dmg (implemented at patch 1.07). Lions claw aow into a greathammer or colossal weapon is dope. I even saw, how happyhob beat radagon and elden beast with starfists. They had the cragblade aow I cant talk enough about str builds.
Cant go wrong with lions claw on a big weapon. Giant hunt is mega strong aswell. Lions claw is just so much fun though, and the infinite hyper armor really helps a lesser player like myself 😅
If you want to try something that behaves like Giant's Hunt but also has hyper-armour and damage reduction, Stamp Upward Cut is fantastic. It eats up stamina so you can't spam it but its utility shouldn't be slept on. Damage reduction on the stomp, hyper-armour the whole way and immobilising the enemy? It's like Square Off, basic as it gets, but highly-effective.
Yes, they do. If you're referring to the consecutive buffs from the Winged Sword Talisman etc, as long as you're hitting with the weapon and not a projectile, it will count as a multi-hit.
Love the Great Hammer Weapon Class. Super high stance damage and fast Attacke.
Blood infused large club with lion's claw was the build I used to beat the game first playthrough
Oof. Malenia barely getting a word in once again. I may've underestimated the power of strength builds, this is some good stuff.

do you know if sword dance or some other multi hit aow would count for multiple hits on a blood claymore
Yes, they do. If you're referring to the consecutive buffs from the Winged Sword Talisman etc, as long as you're hitting with the weapon and not a projectile, it will count as a multi-hit.
@@magnolia549 so it would bleed bosses really fast?
@@p1stons570 It should. Just keep in mind that certain bosses have high Bleed resistance.
@@magnolia549 yes thank you
