for anyone in NG2 or higher you will be one shot by anything that isn’t a trash mob with this build - so unless you are skilled in dodge and roll swap your armor out and give up the 11% buff to blood tax which isn’t that big of a deal anyway
@@hygormotasantos4035 it just is slightly lower negation for the armor weight but if you boost with crab and talismans you cancel it out and it’s a permanent AR buff

It was very brilliant of Ansbach to add who is crying. It's a shame he's not in the main game. After warre with Ansbach there would be a quest. That would be really cool.
Yeah Howl of Shabriri is way too dangerous with melee builds unless you're a god at dodging imo. For casters and ranged attack builds it's great because you're mostly not in direct danger but let Horah Loux hit you with a flurry melee while you're debuffed with Howl and you'll be respawning at the Stake of Marika in no time.
have been using great katana and repeating thrusts since the final boss of the dlc, didn't know there was a dynasty version, thanks for this! might respec into a dex build now instead of an arcane build
What’s funny is I couldn’t beat radahn with that ash of war. After trying all of them, the cold great katana got the job done. Chilling mist. 127 frost buildup with 59 blood loss build up. 75 Dex but the cold affinity proved to be more valuable than using blood flame blade.
Keen+bloodflame>occult. The bloodloss buildup of the combined innate bleed of the sword+bloodflame is going to be more or less the same as with occult infusion, plus you get the bonus fire damage and the lingering bleed buildup from bloodflame, plus a bigger AR increase from the +5 dex from Millicent's prosthesis. If you want to try a no bloodflame variation, your best bet would be for a bleed build. I'm not sure what the scaling for the great katana with bleed infusion is like, whether a typical dex/arcane split nets optimal damage, or if it retains its innate quality scaling. If it's the latter, it might not be worth running as your primary weapon
Nice playing! I’m not sure the consecutive talisman are adding much to your damage given that in most of the flights not a lot of hits are strung together. So maybe the two hand talisman or else some damage mitigation talismans? I’ve been running the Spinning Gravity Thrust AoW on the Great Katana which probably does activate the consecutive hit talismans on the second L2 with 100% hyper armor.
bro i used this build and just bullied malenia so much, the facebook group started flaming me saying "SPAMMING BLOOD TAX AINT A BUILD"😂 a build so OP it makes other players jealous
Been using this setup for a while now but I put blood with blood tax. I also use the fingerprint Greatshield with Scholar Shield. Massive bleed damage that procs almost immediately with blood tax. I've gotten it to 48k damage on the dlc Rahdahn and it can get higher with stamina boosters. Up to 506 Physical damage if I'm not mistaking. You can go full tank or gear that boost blood damage. Either way, you'll run through missions easily. The only thing is if you carry the Fingerprint Greatshield you can't attack while blocking with your Shield. The damage is too OP to change the weapon though. Just adapt and this build will become a masterpiece for you.
This is genuinely my fav infusible weapon in the whole game! Super fun move set, long reach and beautiful design it’s my baby! Also I’d be curious to know what ur fav weapons in the DLC are??
I did some testing with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and it does not seem to increase the damage of Blood Tax by much. The first cast is less than +3%. Even a simple +5 dexterity talisman did more dmg increase for me.
This is sudden by can you do a prime rykard mod? Like we see a rykard in his normal emperyan body and armor before getting eaten by the snake in front of ours or something after you beat emperyan rykard, Rykard had a title before being called Lord of Blasphemy. i just forgot it
"Hey, don't poke the Lord, buddy." Well I didn't poke a Lord, because if I poked a Lord, a Lord would be mauling me right now. So I don't know what I poked, but it sure as hell ain't no Lord. "Hey, I'm warning you." Oh yeah, and I'm poking YOU. "Hey stop it!" Fine, POKEPOKEPOKE!
i was struggling with messmer so i randomly equipped this and added blood tax coz i was losing health so fast and it worked lmaoooo. i used blood affinity tho coz of my 80 arc
Blood affinity isn't actually the best way to do it if the weapon has natural bloodloss like the great Katana. If your arcane is actully 80, try the occult affinity. It will see your bleed chance skyrocket. It will be a much higher number than the blood alignment just because its scaling with way more Arcane that way.
i can't apply keen affininity to the great katana with blood tax even though i have the iron whetblade? edit: nevermind, my game was glitched, had to remove my iron whetblade manually and then get it again and now it works!
am I missing something on this build? I have the right Aow, I have similar starts with 80 dex, the right affinity, same talismans, same buffs and i’m doing no damage.
I still dont understand, why spec into 33 faith to use howl of shabriri?? Isnt it supposed to give you madness and you need to use the aged ones exhaultation with it to get the buff? Im just asking for info

Was looking for a great katana build this looks nuts!
🔥🔥
You can also try Spinning Weapon (even more dps I think) and Wild Strikes (maybe slightly less dps, more poise, status and poise damage)
This build is crazy, It's honestly so much better than I thought it would be
Flame Grant Me Strength over howl buffs both physical damage and the flame damage of blood flame + No debuff
Great advice, thanks!

Exactly the build I used to take Radahn in the dlc after several trials with different swords
+1 to the same w/ Swordlance and the usual gear/talismans, very good.
Thanks a lot. I needed a bleeding build against Midra. Very timely 😃
You are welcome 😁
Midra is so easy, lol. Why would you need a specific build for the fight?
Recently subbed, cant decide what build to go with :D keep it up!
Appreciate it ❤️
Strength builds 💪
The Great Katana is awesome and also works really well with cold/bleed builds.
in base game i use straightswords and GREAT STAR, but after using this katana i just fell in love with it. idk why ppl are not talking about it.
have been using great katana and repeating thrusts since the final boss of the dlc, didn't know there was a dynasty version, thanks for this! might respec into a dex build now instead of an arcane build
You are welcome 😁
i prefer repeating thrusts it does more damage and double the poise damage
Just use that weapon and ash of war without buffs, with the bleed affinity, against Malenia. You will melt her.
The Assassin's Creed Origins power attack ability is everywhere
I used a similar build but with a greatshield. Put no ash on the shield and you can basically just tank hits till you get an opening for the ash
I'm using this build with 80 Dex and 60 Arc and it hits like a truck, ty for the build.
You are welcome
The “look at all this damage” guy made me LOL
This was my ng+1 run and it completely destroyed messmer. It's not just the weapon but the AOW is nuts. Works even better on Gaius' sword.
I must try this Radham can fall now 🔥🔥
I used the same build except mines a strength version and used the heavy sword lance. The sword lance has an A for strength scaling.
What’s funny is I couldn’t beat radahn with that ash of war. After trying all of them, the cold great katana got the job done. Chilling mist. 127 frost buildup with 59 blood loss build up. 75 Dex but the cold affinity proved to be more valuable than using blood flame blade.
Can’t wait to try this build out. 🔥🔥🔥
🔥😁
Works great on the Nagakiba aswell
That last hit on Elden Beast really said "WhY R u RUnNinG?!"
Love this weapon so much. The true reward of defeating Mohg

Nice video my friend keep up the great content
Thank you so much 😊
are there any differences or upgrades you would chose given that the DLC has been out a while now?
Especially with the fairly lengthy AoW
Best buff from the dlc is bloodsucking cracked tear
You need to use that ash of war with gaius lance+25 and blood on in 2 instance or 3 imstancesis triggerd blood effect
The nier: automata music tho 👌
I knew those hours with Monster Hunters Long Sword would finally pay off
That's a lot of damage!
doing that much damage at lvl 150 + scadutree blessing lvl 12 is insane
In max blessing and high RL this will be broken 😂
My fav weapon in DLC. Ty good video
You are welcome 🤗
I’m so mad at myself for not using the great katana sooner
Ahh, I can see it, as clear as day!
Cell has become... THE WOLF!
Daaamn! This is good🎉
Nice playing! I’m not sure the consecutive talisman are adding much to your damage given that in most of the flights not a lot of hits are strung together.

imagine playing Elden Ring with this music, different vibe altogether haha
sweet vid! definitely going to try this out! would you say the great katana is the best weapon to use for this build ?
It is a great option..the other amazing options
Nightrider glaive
Sword lance
@@Cellthegamer sweet will give that a try 👊🏻👊🏻
You tried piercing fang? Nice!

I will use in my arc/dex build for sure
You know the bosses are difficult when even Cell and Quoppp get hit
liked for the nier music tho =D ncie build mate
Thanks so much 😊
let me try this great asbach build :)
but why not raise arcane ?
Dang that damage is so nuts 😀

Backhand blade 🔥🔥🔥
fire knights gs all the way. its bae
@@Cellthegamer they fun! And super stylish too!
@@fsylar1188 I need to play with it! I hear it’s great on a faith or fth/str build cuz of the innate fire damage and faith scaling
Every build looks op when player has skill)
I did some testing with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and it does not seem to increase the damage of Blood Tax by much. The first cast is less than +3%. Even a simple +5 dexterity talisman did more dmg increase for me.
You could have more bleed build up if you went Arcane instead of Dex.
I’m loving this build still need a lil skill to pull it off
As Bloodflame Blade scales off of the faith portion of the incant scaling, I’m wondering if using a different seal would apply a higher damage buff
Righteous Tarnished, his Eminence would be proud.
(edit. you didnt just do that to gaius' charge attack...)
😂
Add malenias greatrune to this and you can just stand and out trade most bosses.
Do you have to summon Ansbach against radahn to get his stuff or will it be there naturally ? Insane build btw
its there naturally. but quest must be done
Lady with a beard screams like a lady dressed as Ansbach. Perfect, oh the the build is alright too eh!
I love your content
Thanks so much 🙏
Weird, I thought arcane should be higher for blood loss. Here you have dexterity super high.
I’m sick of people using bloodflame blade just put the bleed affinity on and keep everything else it will proc bleed so much quicker
used the same build on radahn finally defeated him
This is sudden by can you do a prime rykard mod? Like we see a rykard in his normal emperyan body and armor before getting eaten by the snake in front of ours or something after you beat emperyan rykard, Rykard had a title before being called Lord of Blasphemy. i just forgot it
What’s better: keen affinity (what he’s using) or blood affinity? I’m not sure which I should do
Keen affinity is better in RL 150..more physical damage..if you are a high RL use bleed affinity
Finally I'm beating radahn
I need to try this against Prime Radahn
"Hey, don't poke the Lord, buddy."
Well I didn't poke a Lord, because if I poked a Lord, a Lord would be mauling me right now. So I don't know what I poked, but it sure as hell ain't no Lord.
"Hey, I'm warning you."
Oh yeah, and I'm poking YOU.
"Hey stop it!"
Fine, POKEPOKEPOKE!
W video 🥰🔥
❤️❤️❤️
Bro do the rotted wing and golden arm thingy rly make that much dammage up I didn’t use those and I was only doing like 2000 dammage per ash
They will boost your damage a lot
amazing build, but why no Metyr and Putrescent Knight?
I didn't record all the bosses 😃 these are just examples
Yeah my first Radahn kilka with this before others 2 chars and its only 150 lvl to make it harder
dont u feel like the entire DLC is a revenge story for Mohg
godhood is a prison. miquella shed everything to become a god. putting him down is kindness
any mortal trying to become god is bound to fail.
Yes 🔥
Blood tax is Very Strong against Malenia 10:24
Is it worth swapping out Ansbach's helmet for the white mask?
Yes sure
Is it better to use bloodflame blade or just use it with blood affinity?
Bleed affinity will be better in high lvl character 😄
i think blood affinity works better on this but keen isnt bad either
Is having a keen infusion with blood flame better than a bleed infusion?
Both are great 😃 choose whatever you like
I think the quality affinity is better than keen .
At very high levels yeah but not at meta levels
Yes sure but quality needs high RL character
Would occult affinity or blood affinity be better than blood flame blade?
Keen or heavy is best because Katana already has natural bleed and blood flame stacks on successive hits.
Bleed is better with high RL 😄 but here in RL 150 physical damage is better with keen / heavy
Can i use finger seal instead or do i have to use dragon seal?
Yes use any seal you want
Yeahhhhh........ not saying its a bad build but please notify what playthough.
First run
Hey are you using some type of mod to replay bosses? If so can you tell me I’ve been wanting to get a mod like that
Probably on new game plus
Ch at engine 😃 I will post a video tomorrow on how to make it
@@Cellthegamer yay thanks
Why did you choose ansbach mask over varre mask ? 😮 Ansbach is 4 % aow only dmg varre is 10% attackpower and buffs all attacks?
fashion only reason 😁

Whats the difference between this and if say you tried blood or occult still with BT
Bleed and occult are great with high lvl character 👌
I cant tell whats better bloodflame keen or occult/bleed lol
Whats the ash of war? And gow do you get it?
Blood tax..you can see the exact location on elden ring wiki 😄
i can't apply keen affininity to the great katana with blood tax even though i have the iron whetblade?
edit: nevermind, my game was glitched, had to remove my iron whetblade manually and then get it again and now it works!
Great 😃♥️
If I don’t quite have 25 faith would flame grant me strength also work well?
Yes sure
am I missing something on this build? I have the right Aow, I have similar starts with 80 dex, the right affinity, same talismans, same buffs and i’m doing no damage.
How ?
Does Miliscent prosthesis do more damage than the Two Handed sword talisman?
Two handed is better but doesn't affect the aow
@@Cellthegamer Thx boss
Is there any different between Dex and Arcane build?
Dex - more physical damage
Arc - more bleed build up

Howl buffs all your damage by 25% and it gives you madness build up which is ok 😃 also some defensive debuffs but it is ok for me 😁
