    I honestly love how in this DLC they really seem to have leaned into HEMA and codex inspiration. I like it because as far as realistic combat in games goes, souls games have the most realistic risk/reward type combat. So seeing that paired with european fighting styles to also compliment the Japanese fighting styles is fantastic. I would live seeing moe from them in the future.

    • @chickensandwich8808
      @chickensandwich8808 7 месяцев назад +38

      @kiwi3085 it is. Great swords were used as both flank defense and line breaking shock troops. Think literally a lawn mower. Get your archer/baliste to weaken a specific area of the enemy front line. Send in your shock troops and create a situation the enemy has to react to to prevent a route. Once they are applying resources to that breech, you send ib light cavalry to specific flanks that are less guarded. At least, that's how it was shown to me in university.

      @@chickensandwich8808 To expand on that, during their heyday greatswords would be added to moving pike formations where the two sides would essentially create a forest of pike shafts, and greatsword weilders would be able to bind the pikes against each other to move past the pike heads and cause massive havoc in the enemy formation.
      This was also the design purpose of the flamberge sword, as the waved blade pattern made it much easier to bind shafts and trap them against each other.

  • @papap6557
    @papap6557 7 месяцев назад +456

    They work really well with heavier builds that can poise through most attacks. Combined with the Spear Talisman, Greatshield Talisman, and your choice of damage negation talismans, these work wonders for when you are struggling with weight management. With heavier armor, you'll soak up most of the remaining damage from the shield's physical negation. With the delayed input guard, you get the benefit from the GS Talisman to help carry the combo and the Spear Talisman's counter damage.

    • @robinswords
      @robinswords  7 месяцев назад +130

      I'd take the Two-Handed Sword Talisman over the Spear if it's an either-or scenario. 15% damage boost while two-handing, or 15% during counter hits applied only to the thrusting damage. But finding the room to use them together? Very interesting.

    Also for anyone who didn't know, the carian knight sword has a block ability when you're charging the R2, it acts similarly to a guard counter and I believe can be buffed by the Talisman 2

      Not as good but yeah, the sword used by scholars in Raya Lucaria also has this mechanic.

    Love these Elden Ring videos! A weapon I would LOVE to see a move breakdown on is Messmer's Spear, or *SPOILER* Prime Radahn's Giant-ass, impracticle, but super cool curved greatsword(s). Love your stuff

    I really love that they did this. One of my favorite DS2 weapons was the Fume Knight Great Sword (I think it got renamed in 3 and didn't work as well). It's a large slab of slag and steal, and during it's heavy attack turn it sideways, which could block attacks. I can only imagine the looks on people's faces as I blocked and then flattened them on the lava bridge.

    Tried this out for myself, and the combos of the light Greatsword and dueling shield merge into each other really well if you know where in the attack chain to swap them up. Also works really well with the light greatsword’s seamless R2 transitions.

    i think its neat that the real life equivalents were used for dueling, that probably inspired the canonical use for these shield being ritualistic arena duels

    It is, in fact, a really cool weapon and one of the best additions to the game.
    It was bugged broken on release tho, but now the weapon is great.

  • @howdyfriends7950
    @howdyfriends7950 7 месяцев назад +2

    I'm sorry but this is SO much cooler of a design than the catarina pierce shield (from fromsoft's previous games, a shield with a thrust weapon built into the center of it, basically shaped like an onion)
    this has more utility and looks about 500 times cooler

    • @howdyfriends7950
      @howdyfriends7950 7 месяцев назад

      I'm also really surprised that the pierce shield can't do parries because it's literally just a cross between a buckler and a parrying dagger, it's such a shame.
      it's kinda like how in DS3 they gave the parrying dagger the latest parry out of any weapon, and then for its R1 instead of using it for a quick thrust attack (how it worked in DS2), you just hold it in front of your face to do a normal shield block with it, the way you'd block with a claymore.
      it has 20 stability, 25% damage mitigation, it just became the world's worst buckler.
      it's a dagger! the whole reason you're using a defensive dagger rather than a shield is because you can also use a dagger for offense, that's the trade off, you sacrifice the ability to block for the ability to thrust.
      at least the fist weapons like the caestus and claw weapons got me covered, quick parry and a quick punch/slash attack on the R1, they don't do piercing damage but it's close enough because damage wasn't the point, it was to preemptively break poise before they could start a swing and get hyper armor, hopefully catch them off guard and combo into a stagger chain

    They are surprisingly fun to use! Especially with the new tear that makes it so you can do a perfect guard like lies of p. I’m using a non leveled up dueling shield for my new game + run I just started. It’s so fun to use against soldiers.

    I actually notice something with one of the weapons from the base game the carrion knight sword. It has an interesting, heavy attack where the sword will be positioned over the players head as if it’s blocking a overhead swing as it’s charging it’s heavy and when playing around with it, I noticed that it does, in fact act as a block.
