Fex, you soud very very tired man, please don`t go burnout yourself, we need your builds for long time yet. Thanks for all the effort man, these builds are amazing!
You're pumping out the content sir. Take care of yourself but we appreciate all the extensive research, testing, and video making you do to run this channel and your wiki
I found this weapon yesterday like 1h in to dlc and imidietly fall in love with the move set... if you get it right you can 100% times land perfect dodge with imidiet atack... definetly my favorite wepon right now, specially with bleed or fire ash of war
Damn this moveset looks so sick!! I kept going back to twin blades in the base game because I just love to move and attack fast and really jump on top of enemies quickly and aggressively and no other weapons in the base game did that as well as twin blades did. But this speed, the side step and I-frames...this may be exactly the new weapon type for me... Glad to see FromSoft not afraid to get into quick high speed movements... I'm not into the slow big bonk style so many souls-bros are so into... I'd love to see what is possible with the swift spear as well, especially two handing it! Hopefully there's a build for that play style as well! Love your work man, much appreciated 🙏
I found it right away and have been using it since, so good. I see it to Keen and then if I want status effect I use lighting or bloodflame I cantations or greases. Is also so freaking light, there is only 1 dagger that is lighter than this 1.5, a weight of 2 is insanely low I also just found Milady and man that moveset is so beautiful, this DLC is exceeding my expectations and the hype was already way high. Thanks Fextra for the amazing job putting out this content, you guys are goated
This is his job, and it will pay off from all the views. You want to have those early weapons videos out ASAP because people will have them day 1 and so on. I will just sit here quietly waiting for the 2 new Katana videos, they both look sick.
I'd dump a few points into faith to get to 12 faith, which gives you access to a bunch of very useful incantations: Bestial Vitality, Flame Cleanse Me, the Barriers incantations that give 30% resistance for 1 element, Heal (for revenants). And if you have 10 Arcane you can also use Bloodflame Blade which goes very nicely with this weapon given its rate of attack. Personally I prefer Blood infusion just because I find some DLC bosses (especially the final one) have quite higher resistance to bleed than base game bosses, and with Bloodflame Blade I couldn't proc bleed on them consistently. Aggressive bosses also won't give you the opening to rebuff, so I find bleed to be more effective against bosses, and with high enough level (183 for me) you can go 60 dex 45 arc and dump the rest into strength, and I find that after you proc bleed for the Lord of Blood Exultation talisman, the AR is similar to a Keen Backhand Blade at 80 dex anyway. Edit: Will test damage number further, but on paper bleed backhand blade has about 15% less raw AR than keen, but if you manage to proc bleed twice on a boss, that’s more than 21% of the boss’ HP. For reference I manage to proc bleed 3 times on the final DLC boss for each of my 4 successful attempts.
This weapon is just perfect. What I was looking for since the game started.. Pure speed and power no need for extra buff or bs. Thanks for the upload man!
Your production quality and creativity is amazing with these videos. You really help me figure out the best ways to optimize my builds and find cool looking gear. I hope you make milllions off dollars can take care of yourself and family and have a great life!
Phenomenal video as always. I appreciate all the hard work you put into making these videos and builds you do. My problem is I can’t stop switching builds because I’m addicted to all of them 😂 much love ❤️
The crits with this weapon are SICK too, Im using curved sword talisman, two handed talisman, and blade of mercy talisman to do kinda an awesome two handed guard counter and crit build with this one
Souls Fashion tip: Maliketh's legs look awesome with black night set, as does Oathseeker's helm. but yeah, this base backhand blade on keen infusion is amazing and ive been slashing thru the dlc with it!
Theses sword are really good. Good damage nice proc for bleed or frost builds and the ash of war is literally a evasive whenever you think you aren’t going to time a roll correctly
Use lightening instead of keen to have increased damage at the sacrifice of using blood fire blade and incantations of that sort. And make sure you get some rest bro. These swords are amazing early into the DLC so far, great video 💯🫡
i am doing a dex faith build with this ... using bloodflame / blackflame on the weapon , and using black flame/scouring black flame for ranged .. we definitely need some ranged options in the DLC
Yo guys Fextra plays video games for a living. He's not working 3 dead end jobs and raising 3 kids. I assure you he is fine. Like I am seriously amazed at all of these " you sound tired man" or " I'm worried about you bro". Oh by the way Fextra has a team guys it's not just him. Thank you for everything man Great videos !
Yeah but you have to get the upgrade material to lessen the damage idk if they still do a lot of damage once you upgrade it but if they do they should balance that
@@TrayGoldenThey do. I have 50 vigor, decent armor, scadutree blessing lvl 9 and many enemies can 2 hit me. I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one to feel like it might be juat a bit overkill though lol
Imo the best fashion to go with the back hand blades is the leather chest from patches and the black hood with whatever arms n legs you think pair best it gives the perfect rogue look
Tried some of the new builds in the DLC and they were alright. Hit a road block with Messmer though (I am not very good) and after many tries, I took out my old Rivers of Blood. The game is now finished.
RoB is still goated. every time i get humbled by a boss in dlc while using backhanded blades, i bring out RoB or eleonora's poleblade and humble them lmao
I'm considering this for my blue dancer build in the DLC right now too, but of course that's my no endurance build. Thanks for pointing out the stamina drain concerns on the AoW. I'll stick with the frozen rapier 🙏
I went in with Pure Dex and decided to Scale Faith to use and buff the Armament-Incants. I personaly also find myself using the Charged heavy alot (that forward Movement of it is Esquisite. Realy good for closing in) so i use Axe.
Just like everybody else mentioned bro take care of yourself and your health you sound like your energy is every low we don’t need the content at the expense of your well being. Hope you managed to rest since the upload
Just took out Messmer, an I have to say going blood with this weapon just seems to be better. Only thoughts are is it worth pumping arcane and lowering dex. I’m currently melting enemies with the current build.
I’ve enjoyed my arcane build on my first dlc run, the extra item discovery is awesome. Would have rather used my spell blade build but it just wasn’t ready in time :(
This weapon is very overpowered in right hands, I admit I'm an average player so I'm not that good but with this weapon I was able to no-hit Malenia after couple tries, do get this weapon and master it's Ash Of War, I used blood infusion and bleed is insanely strong do try it out
This is great because I used your Supreme Samurai build to enter the DLC and this sword uses the same attributes so I will definitely be trying it out! Do you like the backhand more than the katanas?
Just got them in the DLC and they are by far my favorite weapons in the whole game due to my playstyle, there’s plenty of better weapons out there that i use but these are perfect fr, i hope they dont touch these blades at all

Dude, just as i scroll through the channel and hit refresh looking for this exact wep build. Greatly appreciated.
Same been waiting too. Love how these feel but was curious how to optimize😅
Imagine needing someone’s build
you didnt want to try to figure it out on your own?
@@jonr7364 Lol I already had it on occult scaling with arcane but was referring to seeing how the damage looked with dex scaling
bruh what you doing clicking on this video then

Take care of yourself brother, aint never heard you this tired before.
bro u sounds tired, appreciated all the uploads tho
Your right he sounds sad.
Came here to say the same thing.
He has probably been absolutely hustling to get all these videos out. I can’t imagine the amount of time these take.
Noticed that as well. Please take some rest
having to play games for work sounds like torture.
Just killed rellana with this build and it felt so fun to just dash around her instead of dodging and also it pumps dmg tysm!
Thrilling to be back to the elden ring hype we had a little over two years ago! All content creators are racing to show us fun and creative builds!

I bet your ass there are 3 more in his backlog being uploaded rn for later release :D

This has 117 bleed buildup when blood infused. Terrific!

This. This is the build i needed. I was a dual curved sword, double bandit the whole game. Some of the clips i'm seeing with these are clean.
So many new builds to try out 😍 guess i'm clocking those 2k hrs rather soon. Would love to see perfumers bottles build
Wanted these so bad i beat mohg at level 64 and 4 hours so worth it, first time using it i was immediately in love
Fextra GOATed as usual
I threw the Blasphemous Blade in my right hand to keep on my back while dual welding these. That way you can get the health on death effect.
Actually clutch as hell, thanks fextralife! Really needed to have a good backhand build
Beat the last boss with these just this morning. The AOW on it was the only way I managed to beat it without NPCs or summons 😅
I know I’ve seen a ton of your videos when I can predict “hits like a truck” is coming 😂
Love the vids. You do an awesome job.
The crits with this weapon are SICK too, Im using curved sword talisman, two handed talisman, and blade of mercy talisman to do kinda an awesome two handed guard counter and crit build with this one
Thumb nail giving me Blade Knight from Yugioh vibes, one of my favorite cards
I love you fex, take care of yourself we need you
def going for this
same
Love these videos, would love love love a build centered on Rellana's Twinblade
This exists in a past video of his!

I’m thankful for all the work you put in 💪🏽 you help me get thru my first play thru now I’ll be here for the dlc much love fextra 💪🏽

Easily my favorite weapon so far in the DLC. Makes combat very entertaining!
Recently found this weapon. Love the moveset, and the Ash of War is incredible.
So I'm not the only one who noticed the DLC enemies hit like a fucking NUKE
Yeah but you have to get the upgrade material to lessen the damage idk if they still do a lot of damage once you upgrade it but if they do they should balance that

fextra going crazy with these build uploads 😂
Great turtle shield on the back. Look like a heavily armoured ninja turtle?
You sonofalich, I'm in!
Imo the best fashion to go with the back hand blades is the leather chest from patches and the black hood with whatever arms n legs you think pair best it gives the perfect rogue look
Played through the DLC with this weapon as str/fai, worked really well with FlameArt AoW
I love your build vids so much. You’re a genius
Freakin Deadpool build, I love it!!! Thanks Fex!
I love that this helmet also pairs well with Malekith's armor
The charged R2‘s with this weapon + axe talisman are stance breaking very good
This Is the best weapon of the game on my opinion. Against Rellana and Messmer was superfun bossfight
oh more Fextralife Elden Ring builds? We are so back...
the effort you guys put into these guides are insane, greetings from germany
P.S. get some rest
Tried some of the new builds in the DLC and they were alright. Hit a road block with Messmer though (I am not very good) and after many tries, I took out my old Rivers of Blood. The game is now finished.
RoB is still goated. every time i get humbled by a boss in dlc while using backhanded blades, i bring out RoB or eleonora's poleblade and humble them lmao

Bro we love you, rest man. Also this is exactly what i want from dlc weapons and such: make me busted for the main game on ng+ lmao
Bro has been on a 24 hour binge. Take a break!!!
I went in with Pure Dex and decided to Scale Faith to use and buff the Armament-Incants.
I personaly also find myself using the Charged heavy alot (that forward Movement of it is Esquisite. Realy good for closing in) so i use Axe.
Been waiting hours for this 🎉
Thanks for the content Fex ❤️
I like the throwable variant feels amazing
the blind spot ash of war is really good for this, you can destroy rellana easily
Hey fex can you do a build with the renalla paired swords and cameo
Already made just waiting for publishing queue I have too many videos
@@Fextralife thanks!
Eagerly awaiting a Perfumer build!
Been using these to absolutely melt everything
Amazing looking build. Will have to try this one out for sure. Thanks
Just like everybody else mentioned bro take care of yourself and your health you sound like your energy is every low we don’t need the content at the expense of your well being. Hope you managed to rest since the upload
i respect the grind brother
Can't wait for more bleed builds :D
Homie is on the grind.
I've enjoyed the frost-fu build, but I think I'll swap to this, as this moveset looks like my specific brand of jam 😁
Just took out Messmer, an I have to say going blood with this weapon just seems to be better. Only thoughts are is it worth pumping arcane and lowering dex. I’m currently melting enemies with the current build.
What’s your stats?
@@abdulaziz8548 pretty much the same as the video, a few more maybe in endurance as I’ve gone up a few levels.
@@abdulaziz8548 Infact just took out a secondary progression boss, won’t spoil but tested s rank vs blood again and blood melts everything.
I’ve enjoyed my arcane build on my first dlc run, the extra item discovery is awesome. Would have rather used my spell blade build but it just wasn’t ready in time :(
looking forward to rellanan twin blade build😊
I was surprised to obtain this weapon so early. Rennala, here I come.
u could also use viridian tear to remove stamina consumption
My biggest issue with the DLC is that they didn't add more backhand blades
brother take a nap you sound exhausted 😂
This weapon is very overpowered in right hands, I admit I'm an average player so I'm not that good but with this weapon I was able to no-hit Malenia after couple tries, do get this weapon and master it's Ash Of War, I used blood infusion and bleed is insanely strong do try it out
Which ash of war did you use?
Warrior and samurai are the best starting class for this build
I used a backhand blade bleed build for messmer, it was very strong.
I love these swords
the side step is so cool
Cant wait for the Bruce Lee build using the hand to hand combat
This is great because I used your Supreme Samurai build to enter the DLC and this sword uses the same attributes so I will definitely be trying it out! Do you like the backhand more than the katanas?
Just got them in the DLC and they are by far my favorite weapons in the whole game due to my playstyle, there’s plenty of better weapons out there that i use but these are perfect fr, i hope they dont touch these blades at all
I can't wait for the video of the claws
If you have an old bleed build with 80 arcane aswell, you get more dmg with the occult spec instead of keen (by about 30-40 physical)
I was under the impression that occult doesn't add bleed to the weapon, so I gave it the blood affinity instead.
Maliketh armor should look cool with this armament 🔥
Make build for Rellana's swords please!
Hope that you`ll make a poison perfume build soon. When i tested it it was garbage, but i really want it to be proven otherwise
This is a top tier weapon.
Appreciate the vids bro get some rest you sound tired 🔥
Okay so going with 80 dex and about 35 int but using a cold affinity along with the Cragblade ash of war for a buff its pretty dang good man
Isn't this weapon movements like the ones in Monster Hunter Dual Blades? Great build man, thank you!
You get more damage with Flame Art infusion or Holy, just having an S Scaling in Dex isn't enough with Keen
Hey fextra, please take care of yourself! You sound hella tired, don't burnout!
Take care man you sound tired, also your builds video and extralife as a site is the best ou there
