I wish Godslayer's wasn't the only one with that moveset because it's really cool. I would love if I could use that moveset on a regular strength build. Kinda like how the guardian swordspear gives non magic builds a chance to use the cool moveset Loretta's Halberd has
Should do a comparison of all the S tier weapons from each of these tier lists once you have finished all the types. Sure it probably won’t be much different then all the other “best weapon videos” but at least you go into detail more then most.
Ruin''s greatsword's aow has a wider hit box than blasphemous blade's aow btw. Also the Royal Knight's great sword I think actually has the highest AR possible out of any weapon it gets really close to 1000 with no buffs or anything just raw stat scaling while two handed.
had a build - it's pretty fun, but and looks badass, but weapon art doesn't do much damage tbh, especially if you compare to something like blasphemous blade's weapon art. Still freaking fun weapon, really huge AR
Maliketh's Black Blade is a S tier, doesn't matter that it is half holy dmg because if all 5 hits connect - enemy will lose 10+% of his max hp in ~2.5 seconds Killed Elden Beast with it + Black Knife pretty easy utd: and it has hyper armor as godslayer's skill so even if your poise is bad - you still will end the ash of war animation
you don't seem to understand how that 10% HP reduction works, lol. It's reduces MAX HP by 10%, not by 10% on each cast - it's absolut gimmick and not even funny one at that... It's terrible even for a holy weapon.
@@mroutcast8515 I am not talking about debuff, Im talking about "sucking" dmg that comes after, just read wiki omg, 10% max hp debuff + each hit sucks 2% of max hp + flat 30, try yourself vs fire giant and anything with tons of hp
“Why does Watchdog Greatsword exist?” - you can farm multiple copies on your first playthrough, so you can keep special situation Ashes of War equipped on a decent Greatsword proxy in your inventory. Of course, farming it kind of sucks, but there you go. It is a niche, weird reason to exist, but it is one. 😂
Godslayer alone made me enjoy this weapon class. The ash of war hits like a fuckin' truck, the flames look amazing and the unique moveset is great because speed is suuuuper important with any weapon.
I’ve done like 20 playthroughs and somehow never tried that weapon. Thought about it several times but always went with something else. I gotta give it a try on a new character. Once I can get it finally lol.
Poison mist on the GUGS on my arcane-strength build is crazy, AR gets up to like 1450 when poison procs. Probably my favorite weapon/ash combination in the game. Great list Youwy
Watchdog Greatsword is better than Greatsword because it gets S scaling with heavy infusion (which is what you'll use anyway) end ends up with the same AR - but looks better - and looks are important in souls games, thus Watchdog Greatsword > Greatsword.
Still slightly lower total AR even at 99 strength because of the base damage difference. Also shorter range. That said, I do prefer how the watchdog’s looks. And it’s still extremely good.
@@jeremygardner5987 exactly - it's miniscule AR difference and range is not that important in PVE where bosses and most bigger enemies outrange you by huge mile anyway. In PVE - cool factor and looks is top aspect, unless ofc something just sucks like Maliketh Blade (honestly, one of worse holy weapons, not even joking) - so then even looks and cool factor are tough bargain.
@@Raptchur I'm not liar, I'm just not pedantic. At max +25 and 70STR it's 840 vs like 850 AR - basically the same. I will never take 1.1% AR difference as an advantage over looks.
Thank you. How about the regular Colossal Weapons? They trigger Assassin daggers twice, so I figure builds with high poise damage would perform well in PvE.
Ruins Greatsword looks like the Fume Knight sword and has an AoW that basically launches the Andromeda Galaxy at enemies…. Those alone make it 100% S-Tier
Can I use the Zweihander for a strength build it got A scaling when heavy but you said it’s a Dex weapon? I really like the aesthetic of the weapon tho
I disagree about the black blade. It absolutely SHREDS enemies. It does tons of damage, and its unique skills can reduce an enemies max HP (can be paired with the black knife for 20%) and begins eating their HP for a while. Using it against Radagon shreds him. This weapon is S teir
You are hard sleeping on the Zweihander. Easily one of the most flexible weapons if not the most flexible in the whole game. Low attribute requirements, small stamina cost for its attacks, low weight and can be infused with different status effects like bleed. While its base stats don't seem that great, you end up doing a lot more damage than most of the other options with how many ways you can buff its damage. I would put it in S tier next to GUGS personally.
What are you smoking, it’s ash of war is horrendous and you can’t change it. That sword sucks. The great sword is a beserk reference which is why people love it so much

100% agree. Such a cool moveset being limited so heavily is unfortunate
Should’ve been on the zweihander
DLC's Fire Knight Greatsword has fulfilled this wish

Ruins Greatsword - "I don't like it, it sucks. S-tier."
I kno right lol
My ruins does work. Shit bonks
@@MrMakaveli2786same the skill is shit for me but the weapon itself slaps

It’s just a 10 percent of max HP, it’s really not that big a deal.

Grafted blade greatsword literally has the highest damage from all of colossal swords
Watchdog Greatsword is the best guard boost and blocking. If you use it for guard counter, it's the best.
"You are swinging big lump of clay" my guy that is the point of this class. Chunk of metal 4 life.
Poison mist on the GUGS on my arcane-strength build is crazy, AR gets up to like 1450 when poison procs. Probably my favorite weapon/ash combination in the game. Great list Youwy
Zwei should be S tier because it can also be buffed

@@mroutcast8515yeah such a small difference that it doesn’t even matter. Looks more important then 10 AR lol.
1:13 warning, lethal amounts of facts being spat here
Bro if you play pve every weapons can work, you just choose the one who look the coolest.

I've beat the game 5 times and 3 of them were with the Greatsword
Technically, the trolls golden sword is the earliest ultra great sword you can find, in fact you can get it even without killing any bosses
And only requieres 23 strenght to wield two handed
Same with zweihander and guts gs
Can I use the Zweihander for a strength build it got A scaling when heavy but you said it’s a Dex weapon? I really like the aesthetic of the weapon tho
You can use it for strength and dexterity, but you probably already know that.
I disagree about the black blade. It absolutely SHREDS enemies. It does tons of damage, and its unique skills can reduce an enemies max HP (can be paired with the black knife for 20%) and begins eating their HP for a while. Using it against Radagon shreds him. This weapon is S teir
Did he actually just put Maliketh's black blade in B TIER????
You lost me when you started hating on the ruins
Dark moon greatsword is easily s-tier cause my wife gave me it & a handie. (so what if she’s blue? She’s nice to me 😂)
Can't wait for The Katanas.
Imagine playing this game for a year and still using the meta
I like and use troll's golden greatsword because i can't stand wanabee Guts cosplayers, so you're totally right
Starscourge Greatsword imho is pretty terrible because it's very clumsy.
Yeah it sucks

Anytime I see a tier list now i automatically assume is gonna be the Obama, Biden, Trump AI😂
It's such a disappontment that you can't swap ashes on the Troll Knight's sword. It looks beautiful, but it's kinda useless.
dex based colossal swords are shit, why the create a fucking "COLOSSAL" Sword based on dex lol
Zwei is the easiest "s" of my life
This ranking video is a joke 😆
Elden ring ultra feel and look boring compared to Ds3 ultras
GUGS
thank me later
What is GUGS
@@doomfistmain5515 Guts Ultra Greatsword or simply Greatsword
greatsword is overrated. troll's golden sword has pretty much the same damage as it and doesnt look ugly as shit
