as for how the jumping only sometimes works, when you jump the lower half of your body gets i-frames. It still connects, but does no damage. After the jump animation is over and you're dragon-breathing, I would assume those go away so now it connects and DOES do damage. Don't ask me why they made it this way. I don't know all the specifics either, I just saw it in a zullie video. Also, Azur's glintstone staff makes incantations faster too if it's in your off-hand. Radagon icon and Azur's staff together gives (I believe) the same level of benefit as beloved stardust, but without the damage penalty.
@@ryanclark5128 I don't think so. Did the test with Godfrey stomps and it still works. I think the dlc hitboxes are kinda janky on those aspects e.g.: Radahn's stomps that although equal of those of Godfrey, they can't be jumped.

Yeah dragon claw and dragon maw will make any boss a joke with a fully optimised communion build. Breath spells are 50/50 depending on the situation. The positive thing about the Bayle spells is how buffable they are, his flame lightning is physical fire and lightning and his roar is lightning physical and magma so can be buffed alot. But the damage to Placi was low as Placi has 40 resist to everything so split damage is ass against him 😂 the not being able to cast in the air was patched and fixed last patch btw
Fair about placidusax's resistanes lol interesting, but this was all done on the same patch, most of the fights just minutes apart (not closing the game) so...sometimes jump cast worked, other times it didn't, but it happened so inconsistently there has to have been some kind of trigger
A consistent way to deal with Radahn's second phase meteor attack is when he goes into the air to launch the gravity meteors, start running the opposite direction of him (Towards the camera), when he launches them, roll or jump to the right, whichever you feel most comfortable doing and keep running diagonal right. As-long-as you're running diagonal right, all of his clone attacks will miss you, don't even have to worry about rolling, the only part you have to roll is the final hit when his real body attacks. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Also loved that "Mummy" reference at 3:28 lol
I think I tried sprinting it once but still got hit by the first or second, and thus all of them lol i'll have to try it again glad you got it, so far no one else has commented on it lol
Hello Doom! I think I've some tips that may help you in future Radahn fights: For the earth eruption attack, in phase 1 you can delay your dodge and dodge the slam forward so you end up behind him. Few steps to the left and the eruption will miss you. This is more stamina efficient than dodging 2 times, and it gives you a longer punish window, but this doesn't work in phase 2. For the lion claw attack: if he runs away then does it, he can't do a follow up. If he was far from you and slammed the swords to the ground when he starts the attack, then he might do a second one. For the meteorites throw into clone attack: dodge the swords slam to the left and then do another dodge to the left and starts running backwards. The meteorites will disappear before reaching you and the 4 clones will miss (you can heal here) and you need to dodge the 5th real Radahn.

When fighting rellana and getting hit while spellcasting, i think the reason is that your legs dont get hit when jumping, they get s, but i dont think the dragon breath gives leg intangibility. So the attack was just high enough to hit your leg which is not invincible.

Yeah, so the Radahn rot thing is: In phase 1, his rot resistances on consecutive procs are 326/368/466/756/1213. However, his phase 2 resistances are 734/1024/1481. What happens when you rot him in phase 1 is that it usually tics down pretty much all the health he has in that form, then transitions, cleanses the rot (which typically causes you to lose out on a bunch of damage) and because he was rotted before, you get the increased resistance in phase 2. So rotting him once in phase 1 is super easy because he only has 326 rot resistance, which you can inflict in a single hefty rot pot, but if you try to rot him a second time, you'll have to do 1024 rot buildup, so his rot resistance more than triples. There's an argument to be made to just never bother rotting him in his first phase and instead getting in the one rot you actually have a realistic chance of inflicting in phase 2, so you can actually get a maximum of damage out of it. The weirdest thing is that they gave his phase 1 so many resistance cycles, since I don't think you can realistically get those off. Like, the only way that could theoretically work is if you were to immediately blow up the rot with the Poison Flower kick Ash of War since that does 5% of max health + 250, which if you had a rotting tool that did little to no damage could maybe do just about less than the 35% of Radahns health that are phase 1. Anyways, using that kick on Rot is a waste anyways imo, since the DoT will do so much more damage than the Cleanse explosion.
Thanks for the explanation! I just have been slightly more explicit in the video I rotted him in phase one to see if it would carry over, after it didn't, I never rotted him in phase 1 again, so I _only_ tried in phase two, but because of his increased resistances and aggression I wasn't able to do it haha
I think the reason the jumping is super inconsistent with the breath attacks is because of how jumping to dodge actually works. Jumps don’t give you s, they just disable the hitbox of certain body parts while airborne, allowing some attacks to be dodged, but they don’t disable parts like the hands and upper torso which leads to why sometimes jumping while wielding/two handing certain weapons seems to be better than with others. I don’t know if the dragon form even disables the hit boxes but even if it does the hands are so low to the ground during the cast animation it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up being the reason you got hit by a bunch of ground based attacks like Relanna’s moons and whatnot
So who's going to tell him that beloved stardust and radagon icon and increasing your dex doesn't actually up the casting speed for dragon communion spells
8:20 for those curious: thats couse the initial jump has s allowing us to dogde that withaout those (like staying in the air) we get hit hope it made it clear
thanks for the explanation! It's just unfortunate we lose the s while staying in the air, I mean, those attacks are slow give us something From Soft haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial Wow you are really the best content creator out there Doom to reply after two weeks from uploading a vid 😅, but yeah I wish that the hitbox wouldn't work like that too it would give us a lot of sick dodging potential
Radahn gets an enormous buff to rot resistance ( and only rot, not the other statuses, those are all already at the same values as phase 2 rot ) during phase 2 ( the lore of it most certainly is Miquella warding off the outer god of rot's influence, like he has tried to do since forever ), more than doubling the base amount and most increases ( though it has less increases total, leading to a difference of only 268 between the maximums, on NG )
By the blood of my ancestors, that is one of the most cursed titles (and intro bits) I've ever had to endure, commiting sudoku would not be enough to cleanse you from this sin... I'm impressed, good job :)))
When you jump the lower half of your hitbox disappears until you land. Im guessing when you cast the spells they just shift your hitbox upwards. Basically jumping requires them to hit your torso, casting lets them tickle your toes and slam you into the dirt.
jumping makes the hurtboxes on your lower body go invincible, but i guess the timer on that has a limit, that runs out while youre casting the dragon spells which is why ground aoes hit you
With Rellana's full Moon. Jumping works that it removes the hitbox from everything below your waist the moment your feet get off the ground. The dragon incantation doesnt have that effect and that probably makes the Moon explosion hit box clip your toes and hit you. Same with Putresence Knight ground flames
@@DoomWolfOfficial Presumably. Though that may need further testing. I feel like I've been hit more times when casting over attacks instead of jumping, but can't say for sure
You're one of the coolest youtubers i have seen, just because of your skill and engagement with your audience. Every comment i see has a reply from you, amazing vids and would love to see more sekiro gameplay
Thanks my friend :) I try to respond to everyone because talking to people is one of the best parts of making a video! and I do wanna do more sekiro, soon tm lol
Relana has a unique hit box for the moon attack it can hit u even the air if the way you were in the air wasnt a jump only jumps specifically can dodge it i think its because the wanted to give the cool triple hit animation does that happen
To answer your question the best I can, you gain s in your legs when you jump. So your hitbox is just your upper body. Once you cast, you lose those s and your legs have hit boxes again. As far as the inconsistency, I think you just happen to cast at the peak of your jump when you don't get hit and cast at a lower point when you do. But that's just a guess
This is exactly how I've beaten Radanh on my first playthrough! I was suffering for 3 days trying different things and setups but finally came to what I have started with. I remembered who I truly am - a drake warrior. Bite his ugly ass to death with Dragonmaw! It's not worth it trying to rot him because of his high resistances and how fuckin' slow the spell is. I just traded hits with Consort using hyper armor of Dragonmaw dealing 4,7k damage per single cast. After the cutscene I just poised through his holy explosion to stun him for a free extra bite. Then only 1/3 of his HP left and the rest was the matter of survival and luck. Finally I managed to dodge his orbital strike and after 3 more lucky bites Radanh was defeated. A true drake warrior I am!
When you jump, all of your lower half of your body gets invaluablity frames from the time you bend your knees to when you land but if you cast you lose that
8:24 I'm not sure, but I think I know what happened here. When you jump, you get invicibility only for your legs, so I assume using a dragon breath spell midair doesn't let you keep that smaller hitbox and the moon slam hitbox was just really tall. I assume it's the same thing for Puketrescent knight. I'm probably just spouting gibberish though
1. You got hit because you werent at the maximum height of your jump, even if a single frame too late, thats why you got hit by ground attacks 2. You couldn't do your air attacks because you weren't two handing the talisman
I think the reason that you get hit while casting midair spells is because when you jump normally i turns off the lower half your hitbox (you may already know this) but the spell dosent turn off half your hitbox, and fromsoft might have made the damage boxes on the attacks just barely low enough to jump (idk if they did or not, i just noticed how many boss attacks were harder to jump then base game and made a guess)
Perhaps, I know in previous titles at least the upper and lower animations are handled by separate process, idk if it's the same for elden ring, but maybe casting simply cancels out the invincibility on legs who knows (I was jumping then casting 99% of the time lol)
One tip for radahn's dashing-clone attack. You can walk into him and it will do no damage. He doesn't even have collision and it's a very forgiving area.
Ok, I think I know about the Probly with getting hit by ground attacks using the dragon attacks. While rewatching the footage I notice u were dodging some but only while rising from the ground, the moment u charge the breath I think ur hitbox extends to the ground
@@DoomWolfOfficial that may be due to you being *just* high enough from the combined jump + areal breath cast for the attack to not touch your hitbox. on a completely different note: roundrock stronk, make the caveman roundrock the DLC.
I don’t know If they patched it,but Radahn’s meteor attack(where he jumps up and slams back down as a meteor) can be cheesed by jumping 4 times. He’ll simply then teleport to the ground next to you.
If you play back the footage with the knight you can see the flames go up to hit you and I think the game is saying your not really jumping just on a higher place so the flames are going up to track you
@@DoomWolfOfficialim not trying to be mean, but i have no clue how you play the game so well but don't know certain simple things like this and the conditions for the ensha invasion. on the topic of Metyr i recently found out you can avoid the spiny laser attack if you start far enough away by running far enough for the first laser to barely miss you and than immediately run back so you go under the second one. (alternatively use vow of the indomitable on a shield)
When you jump your legs have I frames. Spells or skills that lift you up don't give I frames so many attacks will still hit you. Hope that makes sense. Also in the radahn fight when he grabs you could have mawed or rot breathed as when airborne he can't grab you. You take some dmg but it's worth.
it does but iirc I saw someone use placidusax ruin to hover over the whole putrecent knight attack, maybe it was a mod lol (also I jumped before casting so it...only sort of helps? lol)
Fun Fact for anyone fighting Consort Radahn: When he does the holy nuke slam in second phase, if you jump in a steady 1-2-3-4 rhythm right after he takes off, his AI glitches out for some reason and he just teleports in front of you in the recovery animation for the slam. No nuke, no damage. Do with this info what you will. So far as I know, this still works as of the most recent patch at time of writing this comment.
I did a dragon build my first playthrough for dlc, This is gonna be fun to watch, especially bayle. Edit:Nice bayle kill, I used dragonmaw,broke poise, gave face full of rot, and did some work on him.
So, Doom Okami-sensei has a new kouhai, huh? Tsk, typical! I thought I could be sugoi enough to win his kokoro, but evidently he likes that other kusogaki more!!
Time to "erm acktually" cause I'm pretty good at dragon communion 1: I feel like you should've used the rock heart more while transformed. That's a 20% buff for no fp 2: Bayle's Tyranny is better than flame lightning, since it has less charge up, and more hyper armor 3: why not greyoll's roar? It's a damage buff/defense buff.
lol I accept the erm acktually 1) true, I really should have, I just didn't wanna get blasted in the middle of a fight for standing there locked in place lol 2) I did not know this, as even now I have not used it lol 3) because I used that in my rip and tear video _waaaay_ back when the game came out. and I sometimes a real stickler for 'not using something ive used in a previous challenge', tbh there is no way of knowing that without having seen the other video so I don't blame you for asking lol
Did they change it so that the roar talisman does affect dragon breath attacks now? Cuz it sure didn't when I was originally running a dragon communion build
when you jump you actully get i-frames so if i had to guess when you jump and cast there are no i-frames that come from the jumping so that would mean why you could hit
@@DoomWolfOfficial when you cast and "get hit", but receive no damage, then the hit box didn't touch you. In Relanna's fight, when you jump you don't receive damage, but the AoE licks ur feet, which have I-frames. When you jump cast, the I-frames end and the AoE can hit your legs.
I may be wrong, but I have an idea as to why you couldn't do airborne breath at some points. In the Romina clip, it looks like you got pushed back onto ground while doing it from the air. I assume there's some check to stop you from casting spells in the air over and over, for various reasons. But, whenever you would get pushed back onto the ground (from a collision pov, not necessarily animation pov) it somehow messed with the "only one cast per jump" check. edit: idk if it's neccessary, but I Imagine the game checks for specifically you to either go into the falling state and then grounded, or perhaps it's just the little landing animation that removes the check. In the footage you show, it cuts off as whether it shows you doing any sort of landing or falling animation, but if you bother to go back see if they do a little animation when the spell ends, or they just awkwardly go back to vanilla standing. Or perhaps it made the spells animation default to the "grounded" return to ground animation? tldr, I think the game left your "one cast per jump" flag on, because whatever you were fighting made you skip the animation that removes said flag.
So I went and checked the full video, I didn't see the little drop down animation (I 100% was in the air from a jump before the cast) which could track with it not registering that I ever left the air (this would make the most sense from a programming event flag stand point) it's weird to me that there isn't an additional check like an isGrounded boolean that works in tandem with it but oh well lol

Like, the only way that could theoretically work is if you were to immediately blow up the rot with the Poison Flower kick Ash of War since that does 5% of max health + 250, which if you had a rotting tool that did little to no damage could maybe do just about less than the 35% of Radahns health that are phase 1.
Anyways, using that kick on Rot is a waste anyways imo, since the DoT will do so much more damage than the Cleanse explosion.
Thanks for the explanation! I just have been slightly more explicit in the video
I rotted him in phase one to see if it would carry over, after it didn't, I never rotted him in phase 1 again, so I _only_ tried in phase two, but because of his increased resistances and aggression I wasn't able to do it haha
I’m super happy to see another vid keep up the good work
Thanks my friend, i'll do my best!
17:23 it’s pretty simple when jumping your entire lower body gets I frames but they disappear when you attack so you end up getting hit
unfortunate, what about attacking with normal weapons? I mean, I jump r2 things all the time and never get hit from it haha
I think the reason the jumping is super inconsistent with the breath attacks is because of how jumping to dodge actually works.
Jumps don’t give you s, they just disable the hitbox of certain body parts while airborne, allowing some attacks to be dodged, but they don’t disable parts like the hands and upper torso which leads to why sometimes jumping while wielding/two handing certain weapons seems to be better than with others.
I don’t know if the dragon form even disables the hit boxes but even if it does the hands are so low to the ground during the cast animation it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up being the reason you got hit by a bunch of ground based attacks like Relanna’s moons and whatnot
fair explanation, thanks!
Love how in almost every video you make a fool of Bambi. Even with no walking he was still easy 😂
they should have made bambi a threat lol
When i did the dlc it had the glitch where promised consort died on stairs
that sounds hilarious
fun Gaius fact, his charge can hit you through blocking with a shield, unless you use the perfect guard tear (and get the perfect guard)
That's...not a fun fact (well the first half anyway lol)
17:20 Its just the hitboxes being shite
most sane response honestly lol
18:00 I’m pretty sure that the weird chest/stomach region takes more poise damage so that might explain the 2 versus 3 hits to stagger.
I think you are correct!
So who's going to tell him that beloved stardust and radagon icon and increasing your dex doesn't actually up the casting speed for dragon communion spells
I feel like someone commented this way back on my original video too haha
8:20 for those curious: thats couse the initial jump has s allowing us to dogde that withaout those (like staying in the air) we get hit hope it made it clear
thanks for the explanation! It's just unfortunate we lose the s while staying in the air, I mean, those attacks are slow give us something From Soft haha
@@DoomWolfOfficial Wow you are really the best content creator out there Doom to reply after two weeks from uploading a vid 😅, but yeah I wish that the hitbox wouldn't work like that too it would give us a lot of sick dodging potential
Really good job on this, very commendable, fun video to
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Radahn gets an enormous buff to rot resistance ( and only rot, not the other statuses, those are all already at the same values as phase 2 rot ) during phase 2 ( the lore of it most certainly is Miquella warding off the outer god of rot's influence, like he has tried to do since forever ), more than doubling the base amount and most increases ( though it has less increases total, leading to a difference of only 268 between the maximums, on NG )
interesting, I also enjoyed your lore speculation too :)
Comparing a T-Rex to a Tank is wild.
You're right I guess I should have compared the tank to an Ankylosaurus lol
By the blood of my ancestors, that is one of the most cursed titles (and intro bits) I've ever had to endure, commiting sudoku would not be enough to cleanse you from this sin... I'm impressed, good job :)))
It only gets worse from here my friend ;) lol
Sudoku? I think you mean seppuku
@@dragonmaster3030 I didn't want to write the real word or it in English, I don't feel comfortable with that being explicit.
When you jump the lower half of your hitbox disappears until you land. Im guessing when you cast the spells they just shift your hitbox upwards. Basically jumping requires them to hit your torso, casting lets them tickle your toes and slam you into the dirt.
But I jumped and then cast, so ..casting potentially overrides the jump? That sucks lol
jumping makes the hurtboxes on your lower body go invincible, but i guess the timer on that has a limit, that runs out while youre casting the dragon spells which is why ground aoes hit you
That sucks lol
With Rellana's full Moon. Jumping works that it removes the hitbox from everything below your waist the moment your feet get off the ground. The dragon incantation doesnt have that effect and that probably makes the Moon explosion hit box clip your toes and hit you. Same with Putresence Knight ground flames
Since i was jumping and then casting in midair, does that mean casting just removes the invulnerability?
@@DoomWolfOfficial Presumably. Though that may need further testing. I feel like I've been hit more times when casting over attacks instead of jumping, but can't say for sure
You're one of the coolest youtubers i have seen, just because of your skill and engagement with your audience. Every comment i see has a reply from you, amazing vids and would love to see more sekiro gameplay
Thanks my friend :) I try to respond to everyone because talking to people is one of the best parts of making a video! and I do wanna do more sekiro, soon tm lol
Relana has a unique hit box for the moon attack it can hit u even the air if the way you were in the air wasnt a jump only jumps specifically can dodge it i think its because the wanted to give the cool triple hit animation does that happen
huh, first i've heard of it lol thanks for the info!
To answer your question the best I can, you gain s in your legs when you jump. So your hitbox is just your upper body. Once you cast, you lose those s and your legs have hit boxes again. As far as the inconsistency, I think you just happen to cast at the peak of your jump when you don't get hit and cast at a lower point when you do. But that's just a guess
hmmm, most rational explanation, thank you, it drove me wild lol
The TRUE Yandere Sim we all deserve.
EDIT: S-Tier dad joke, truly. I am enraged and subbed.
Lmao from soft made yandere sim before Yan dev
And thanks!
This is exactly how I've beaten Radanh on my first playthrough! I was suffering for 3 days trying different things and setups but finally came to what I have started with. I remembered who I truly am - a drake warrior. Bite his ugly ass to death with Dragonmaw! It's not worth it trying to rot him because of his high resistances and how fuckin' slow the spell is. I just traded hits with Consort using hyper armor of Dragonmaw dealing 4,7k damage per single cast. After the cutscene I just poised through his holy explosion to stun him for a free extra bite. Then only 1/3 of his HP left and the rest was the matter of survival and luck. Finally I managed to dodge his orbital strike and after 3 more lucky bites Radanh was defeated. A true drake warrior I am!
Nice! GG fellow drake warrior!
When you jump, all of your lower half of your body gets invaluablity frames from the time you bend your knees to when you land but if you cast you lose that
that is unfortunate lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial I know, but I don't play like that so I'm unaffected
The problem with not being able to cast while jumping may relate to which hand you equip the seal in. Maybe the right hand gives off problems.
Perhaps, which would be a really weird thing to debug lol
Creepy dragon stalking, serial killer plot line. Very nice...😊
thanks lol
8:24 I'm not sure, but I think I know what happened here. When you jump, you get invicibility only for your legs, so I assume using a dragon breath spell midair doesn't let you keep that smaller hitbox and the moon slam hitbox was just really tall. I assume it's the same thing for Puketrescent knight. I'm probably just spouting gibberish though
This seems to be the community consensus, which is unfortunate lol
1. You got hit because you werent at the maximum height of your jump, even if a single frame too late, thats why you got hit by ground attacks
2. You couldn't do your air attacks because you weren't two handing the talisman
You had me in the first half ngl lmao
3:56 what a hell of a description
That's what I was amazing for ;)
I think the reason that you get hit while casting midair spells is because when you jump normally i turns off the lower half your hitbox (you may already know this) but the spell dosent turn off half your hitbox, and fromsoft might have made the damage boxes on the attacks just barely low enough to jump (idk if they did or not, i just noticed how many boss attacks were harder to jump then base game and made a guess)
Perhaps, I know in previous titles at least the upper and lower animations are handled by separate process, idk if it's the same for elden ring, but maybe casting simply cancels out the invincibility on legs who knows (I was jumping then casting 99% of the time lol)
One tip for radahn's dashing-clone attack. You can walk into him and it will do no damage. He doesn't even have collision and it's a very forgiving area.
really? nice, i'll have to try that!
@@DoomWolfOfficial You actually get a decent few seconds of downtime. Almost enough to catch your breath before they start bulldozing you again.
We need a Dragon Tail Swipe, akin to the Crucible Tail sweep. Like, the dragons can do it, why can’t we?
That would be pretty cool, especially if they gave it knock back properties lol
Doom you should do a Coded Sword only run. Honestly good weapon that basically every required boss resists to the nines
Id be down lol
MIssed the 'til death do us part' line with fortissax I fear
His rotting corpse is still in my basement, senpai never leaves. Lol
Finally, Senpai's ultimate form has been unlocked!
only 2 years in the making, but finally, my final form is complete lol
After hearing the lines at 13:36, I know I need a Doom Wolf ASMR video.
lmao, well glad you like my voice!
That golem snipe was crazy
def surprised me lmao
Yeaaaaa dragon sinpai!!! What a video to eat breakfast with, I hope you have a good day Doom
and I hope you have a good one too my friend :)
Ok, I think I know about the Probly with getting hit by ground attacks using the dragon attacks.
While rewatching the footage I notice u were dodging some but only while rising from the ground, the moment u charge the breath I think ur hitbox extends to the ground
so basically the jump behaves like normal, but when i cast while jumping, it just..overrides the jump?
by the looks of things: you casting a dragon communion spell is actually turning off your jump i frames, causing you to get hit.
That..sucks lol but how come I went over other attacks, just..lucky whiffs?
@@DoomWolfOfficial that may be due to you being *just* high enough from the combined jump + areal breath cast for the attack to not touch your hitbox.
on a completely different note: roundrock stronk, make the caveman roundrock the DLC.
I don’t know If they patched it,but Radahn’s meteor attack(where he jumps up and slams back down as a meteor) can be cheesed by jumping 4 times. He’ll simply then teleport to the ground next to you.
Lmao what, that's hilarious, and also terrifying
If you play back the footage with the knight you can see the flames go up to hit you and I think the game is saying your not really jumping just on a higher place so the flames are going up to track you
based on them climbing up a wall, maybe that is what happened, then again you can normally jump over it so, idk haha
I loved the original and this is just as good I love your vids doom btw amazing job in the oneshot contest
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks! :)
The reason why metyr stance breaks were inconsistent is because she takes 50% more stance damage (and normal damage) to the belly
neat, that's good information to have haha
@@DoomWolfOfficialim not trying to be mean, but i have no clue how you play the game so well but don't know certain simple things like this and the conditions for the ensha invasion.
on the topic of Metyr i recently found out you can avoid the spiny laser attack if you start far enough away by running far enough for the first laser to barely miss you and than immediately run back so you go under the second one. (alternatively use vow of the indomitable on a shield)
Wait until Alyx finds out that other people in multiplayer can transform into dragons as well...
I'm just happy you remembered the name of the character because I didn't say it in this run lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial Deeeeefinitely didnt had to go to the original video and check xD
Oh my gosh that sub scribe joke was so long and bad its actually amazing xD I love that absolute goofiness
lol glad you liked it :)
For the jump dodge casting not always working i think it is just that jumping gives i frames to your lower body while i could bet that casting dont
I think you're right, which is unfortunate that it over rides it or doesn't at least keep it lol
When you jump your legs have I frames. Spells or skills that lift you up don't give I frames so many attacks will still hit you. Hope that makes sense.
Also in the radahn fight when he grabs you could have mawed or rot breathed as when airborne he can't grab you. You take some dmg but it's worth.
it does but iirc I saw someone use placidusax ruin to hover over the whole putrecent knight attack, maybe it was a mod lol
(also I jumped before casting so it...only sort of helps? lol)
Fun Fact for anyone fighting Consort Radahn: When he does the holy nuke slam in second phase, if you jump in a steady 1-2-3-4 rhythm right after he takes off, his AI glitches out for some reason and he just teleports in front of you in the recovery animation for the slam. No nuke, no damage. Do with this info what you will. So far as I know, this still works as of the most recent patch at time of writing this comment.
An actually fun fact, I appreciate this haha
The note said stay away😭😂
the o mother one? which one? lol
basically, on jumps, the lower half of your characters body gets i frames, and i think the dragon incants might cancel it out
That...sucks lol
I did a dragon build my first playthrough for dlc, This is gonna be fun to watch, especially bayle.
Edit:Nice bayle kill, I used dragonmaw,broke poise, gave face full of rot, and did some work on him.
haha we had similar play styles for him, I just didn't get lucky with the stance breaks I guess
So, Doom Okami-sensei has a new kouhai, huh? Tsk, typical! I thought I could be sugoi enough to win his kokoro, but evidently he likes that other kusogaki more!!
I laughed while reading this lmao
Nice work !
thanks!
NGL that was smooth transition to ad😂
Glad you liked it, trying to up my segue skills lol
Time to "erm acktually" cause I'm pretty good at dragon communion
1: I feel like you should've used the rock heart more while transformed. That's a 20% buff for no fp
2: Bayle's Tyranny is better than flame lightning, since it has less charge up, and more hyper armor
3: why not greyoll's roar? It's a damage buff/defense buff.
lol I accept the erm acktually
1) true, I really should have, I just didn't wanna get blasted in the middle of a fight for standing there locked in place lol
2) I did not know this, as even now I have not used it lol
3) because I used that in my rip and tear video _waaaay_ back when the game came out. and I sometimes a real stickler for 'not using something ive used in a previous challenge', tbh there is no way of knowing that without having seen the other video so I don't blame you for asking lol
Did they change it so that the roar talisman does affect dragon breath attacks now? Cuz it sure didn't when I was originally running a dragon communion build
It didn't when I did my original run either, but yeah at some point they updated the game and it does!
@@DoomWolfOfficial well dang, gotta dust off the old dragonlady then! Thx for the info! Keep up the great content Doom!
I was waiting to see how you would handle the Bayle battle
by dumb luck, apparently lmao
@@DoomWolfOfficial Yeah that sounds like a average Souls experience lol
You can jump the Twin Moons because jumping gives you I Frames, that's why casting Senpai Spells didn't work to avoid them
But I jump and then cast, so, casting just...turns on the hit boxes? That sucks lol
Jumping doesn’t give I frames, it just greatly shrinks your hitbox
ah yes i love breathing in air that could kill me in the dlc
same, it's my permanent desire lmao
Metyr staggered 2 time instead of 3 sometimes bc she takes more poise damage if you hit here weak spot (the giant tear in her chest)
After scripting and VO, I watched a press continue video who mentioned it being a weak spot, and I was like "oh, now I understand." Lol
Jumping gives you I frames on your lower body. My guess is that casting removes the I frames or maybe they run out
Perhaps, though that doesn't explain how I could jump some attacks and cast, unless it was just a lucky hit box miss? idk haha
when you jump you actully get i-frames so if i had to guess when you jump and cast there are no i-frames that come from the jumping so that would mean why you could hit
that...sucks lol
If you jump, your legs get invincibility frames. When you cast the frames end and your legs get hit.
but then how do I dodge _some_ of the attacks? just...lucky misses with the hit boxes?
@@DoomWolfOfficial when you cast and "get hit", but receive no damage, then the hit box didn't touch you. In Relanna's fight, when you jump you don't receive damage, but the AoE licks ur feet, which have I-frames. When you jump cast, the I-frames end and the AoE can hit your legs.
I may be wrong, but I have an idea as to why you couldn't do airborne breath at some points. In the Romina clip, it looks like you got pushed back onto ground while doing it from the air. I assume there's some check to stop you from casting spells in the air over and over, for various reasons. But, whenever you would get pushed back onto the ground (from a collision pov, not necessarily animation pov) it somehow messed with the "only one cast per jump" check.
edit: idk if it's neccessary, but I Imagine the game checks for specifically you to either go into the falling state and then grounded, or perhaps it's just the little landing animation that removes the check. In the footage you show, it cuts off as whether it shows you doing any sort of landing or falling animation, but if you bother to go back see if they do a little animation when the spell ends, or they just awkwardly go back to vanilla standing. Or perhaps it made the spells animation default to the "grounded" return to ground animation?
tldr, I think the game left your "one cast per jump" flag on, because whatever you were fighting made you skip the animation that removes said flag.
So I went and checked the full video, I didn't see the little drop down animation (I 100% was in the air from a jump before the cast)
which could track with it not registering that I ever left the air (this would make the most sense from a programming event flag stand point)
it's weird to me that there isn't an additional check like an isGrounded boolean that works in tandem with it but oh well lol
ah yes, dragon communion, good, bear communion next :D rawr 🐻
I wonder how different they would be, maybe i'll find out.. lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial maybe you can give them bear hugs and show them your claw, but only if they get past the bad breath attack 💨

Thank you my friend you too :)
My first time through the DLC I parried Rellana to death and never saw the moon spell I'm any of my attempts...my friend wasn't so lucky
I feel your friends pain lmao
Jumping removes the hitbox from your legs, while these spells dont. Her moon attacks hit just a little higher up than other attacks normally do
so that means jumping and then casting just.. cancels out the jump leg intangibility? that..kind sucks lol
@@DoomWolfOfficial yeah ikr
that's what the doc ordered, hell yea
Hope you enjoyed it my friend :)
