It's worth noting that the weapon skill involves your character crouching very low, especially for the follow-up, causing some horizontal attacks to pass harmlessly overhead. I was testing it against the Axe Omens in the sewers, and several of their swings and kicks would miss while I was charging the follow-up.
This might be petty but what holds me back from majority of the weapons and skills is that I like having cool special effects on them. I wish the serpent hunter kept some tiny wind aura around it when the ash of war is used outside Rykard's arena

@@Type_3_Screamer No that is false, he does not mention the running charge heavy, in which you send enemies into the air. Which is the best PVP aspect of this weapon. Watch some chasethebro he uses this all the time.

I love the design of this thing. Disappointing you can’t put a different ash on it, or make the ash a weaker version with less range when not fighting the boss.
If you want to use this weapon in pvp, keep in mind that the jump attack is a little wonky. It sort of veers off to the side of the target if they are standing in the middle of your target path. So in order to get around this, you sort of have to angle your jump away and then attack, as the down swipe will be a lot more in line with what you are trying to hit rather than next to it.
A tip I have for people using this weapon or any weapon like this that lacks affinity Use the Vykes Lightning bolt spell before the other 2 buffs. Vykes is a buff to both the weapon and the body so while the body gets replaced with the Flame Grant me strength Vykes remains buffing your damage even more and Vykes can stack with the Lightning scorpion which buffs your damage by a free 14% making the weapon even better, the only problem with this is that it only buffs one weapon but since this weapon is only 1 you can match it with the Beast Talisman and use the rocks as another great catcher with the weapon making it a terrifying combo. I don't see any vidoes talking about the Vykes stacked buff so wanted to mention it here. I would love if Rage could see this and make a video about the percentages since I don't have the time to check the exact buff it grants you I just know they stack and it can make me shatter people in pvp.
@@brianbumble Yeah on that point I made this pretty late so I couldn't get on the game but in terms of boss weapons which this is counted as; even if it's affinity-less it cannot stack with Vykes. Imma keep this up though cause it is still kinda unknown that Vykes can stack at least from what I've seen on youtube (Dunno if anyone has mentioned it tho if they have I haven't seen it.)
I’m not gonna lie, this is my boss cheese weapon with the fingerprint stone shield and Scholar’s Shield sorcery. Made Malenia doable on my own for once since I’m a filthy casual 🤣
This weapon is a beast! I got Rykard, the Grafted on a randomizer run and the mod automatically gave me the Serpent Hunter. After beating Rykard and using it for a while I realized the amazing moveset it has, and completed that run without ever taking it out. Nothing gimmik about this great spear, and it's probably my favorite somber weapon for strenght builds since then.
This weapon looks so damn cool. Really wish you could change the ash. But surprisingly, the standard Lance is just as good when set to Heavy. You lose the tiny E dex scaling, but you get the choice of ash of war as well as its quite a bit longer. Also can be buffed with greases like blood or frost which is nice for the 3-hit running attack. But still nowhere near as cool looking as this bad boy and with no hyper armor. Definitely a fashionsouls choice atm, but still highly viable.
I mainly found out about this from speedrunner star0chris who is trying to do a glitchless speedrun of the entire game from start to credits in the shortest time possible (so far he got it down to 1h 7mins which is impressive). He always used the Serpent Spear and it's surprisingly very easy to beat most mandatory bosses with it if you know what you are doing (specially because it's easy to upgrade if you know where get the 10 required sombre smithing stones).
This reminds me a lot of the godswords in runescape for some reason, seeing the pvp fights like that. I think it's the winding upward sweep taking a massive chunk out of their health bar.
It's goddamn insane that you can actually become the boss in pvp with this weapon - tons of hyper armor and delayed big attacks. Weeds out those who panic roll, which to be fair, the boss fights try very hard to beat out of you.
Honestly man, thanks. I'm planning on streaming a soul level 1 run and I was trying to plan best weapon play style to go (was gonna go bleed for percent damage) however I'll for sure give this a shot now!
It's becoming a common theme, but so true: Miyazaki doesn't put useless items in the game! Pity, my previous character was a shield wielder, I should have noticed the "Great Spear" title on the weapon and have a go with it instead of: "ah, ash of war no flashy no mo', trash!" :P
Aw man what the hell! I was going to do a Serpent Hunter only run because I thought it would be a funny gimmick weapon thing. I had no idea it was actually good and got buffed to boot!
if you're gonna use a weapon like that, you should probably just do the godskin peeler with bleed on it. Ever since I put away my dual curved bleed swords for a shield and peeler, I've been winning the majority of my invasions and duels by using the heavy lunge to roll catch people.
I went into the boss fight as a lvl 121 with rivers and Nagakibe. I picked up the weapon and never even checked it out lol i just summoned the mimic ash and spammed both stages while taking the dmg from the lava.
That’s what I did this morning before work, except I have the uchigatana and seppuku, plus rivers of blood in my left hand. Not bad but def going to try the serpent spear lol
Can you guys show late game enemies/ bosses being tested on in the future? Because showing it on early game bosses isn't a really good example of how good it is
These are NG+ bosses, but the point is more to show the damage numbers and stagger. Two hits to down Margit is equal to if not better than Flame of the Redmanes, which is a great comparison point.
I just got this weapon and beat Rykard. I been using Ruins Greatsword and that giant fire hammer. This is going to be my spear. I'm going to use it with a shield.
Somber weapon, so easier to upgrade (+9 from the start, no enemy beaten required, except for 2 scarab); STR weapon, so less stat investment to reach soft cap (x1.5 2-handed); great moveset, all moves have their uses (even get access to shield poke).
@@yeldarb2022 You can still do the old jump to the right of the same pillar, it's stricter but doable. Or, you can wrong warp to Farum Azula, get infinite somber 7&8, 3 somber 9 before godskin duo; save the trip to Caelid and literally +9 before a single enemy defeated.

Serpent Hunter's charged r2s are good... Treespear WOULD be the best in class if it wasn't saddled with split-damage and an unchangeable Ash of War (despite also having a standard upgrade path, suggesting it should be possible to change it).
So low level invasions will be using this for a while just pick the class with the highest strength and viger get strength and hp talismans get to say level 40 at plus 3/4 and rock house
They need to give us the ash of war that comes with it. It's the only weapon that you can't equip an ash of war on, and giant hunt for me is absolutely useless and can't be traded for the serpent hunter ash of war. I don't understand why they wouldn't make it usable outside the rykard arena.
It would be a great weapon to use if it had its actual ash of War in the range will actually catch people and to me it would be a top tier spear but it doesn't have it so d tear good weapon see a lot of speed runners use it but yeah
Although it’s ash of war is kind of a meme it’s my goto aggressive weapon in pvp alongside godskin stitcher just for the rolling/crouching attacks alone, that small change in moveset makes it better overall than the lance for me imo.

@@tishawngrant9447 because it has farther range than damn near any spell and a knockback as well as a stagger as well as a quick attack as well as a strong attack...? Are you slow? 🤣
I don't know if it was a bug or something, but I killed Ol' Iron Arms pretty much right after freeing him and I got the shard. This was a little over a month ago though, so maybe it was patched?
The biggest let down is that it seems you can only use its wind power when fighting rykard . After that it’s just you swing it around. Waste of weapon I did all that work to get to it just to be let down 😢
Great review video. I don't know if I agree it is 'good' or 'fast' though. The way it lunges forward or up with some of its attacks to make up for it not being as long as a pike is interesting though. It really is like a spear/greatsword combined.
I will say this spear looks awesome and I was really sad when in the other games those weapons were basically useless. Least it has some use watch from soft nerf it into the ground tho lol
@@airbornezombie7655 just because it was buff this patch doesn't mean it won't be nerfed in some way in the next patch. Like 20 str requirements or something to prevent it being exploited by speed runners.
@@LokiWasntHere dude, it's a mandatory gimmick weapon for the rykard fight, the reason it doesn't have requirements is so every build can fight rykard, and it's not like its overpowered or anything so it will never get nerfed at all, you can relax
@@airbornezombie7655 I know what it is and what it's for. But look at how the older games did those kinds of weapons. They were unusable outside their role. This weapon is currently the only exception to this and that leaves room for a nerf to bring it in line with it's brothers in previous games.
