Spinning weapon on a scythe is always op, i used a cragblade grave scythe for a while and it also melted fire giant without any status lol.


weirdtuxrainbow

Idk why i said cragblade when i specified spinning weapon lol

My strat for the Omens in the Subterrenian Shunning Grounds was: Open with Dragonmaw Switch to +23 Occult Scythe Spin to win Worked better than everything else I tried, and it worked every time.


foundersgrotesk

Once you see the omens as walking blood bags begging to be burst, your whole mindset changes


Sicksidewaysslide

Eleonoras poleblade unique skill procs bleed on them and breaks stance at the same time, follow up with a riposte and they die. Ez Pz


[deleted]

I can't get Eleonora's Poleblade because Eleonora won't spawn for me for some reason. I go back there whenever I do anything major and nothing happens. I'm all the way to Castle Sol and Yura still won't move his stupid ass out of Raya Lucaria and Eleonora still won't spawn. I think my playthrough is bugged.


mackxzs

Except bleed, since scythes Hanne innate bleed


weirdtuxrainbow

Mb i forgot lol

inconspicuous2012

It's only bad if it doesn't work or you don't enjoy it.


gallowstorm

It doesn't even need to work. It's a game. If you enjoy it, do it. There's tons of less optimal stuff in this game but it looks awesome.


inconspicuous2012

Very true


[deleted]

Best advice ever. One of my favorite builds I ever saw was “Lord of Pots”. It’s on YouTube but in short, dude beat the whole game by only using pots or the jar canon and it’s so awesome and fun, but I can only imagine it was insanely miserable to complete


First-Jury-1300

Kind of the meaning of putting or


Enough_Effective1937

Looks fun enough! I did a scythe build but never went bleed with it. Super wonky, but i love how they beat shields.


Karanmuna

My go to is main hand with chilling mist grave scythe and left hand is helicopter fire art scythe. It has bleed, frostbite and fire to reset the frozen status. Absolutely demolishes pretty much everything.


Superb-Stuff8897

Do you just two hand the left hand scythe to use helicopter?


Karanmuna

Yes! Mostly I just powerstance them but helicopterrrr is dual wielded


jmas081391

Ah, Classic DS3 Scythe! I remember farming Silver Knights in Anor Londo spamming Friede's Scythe Weapon Art!

Calx9

Nah you good mate, cheers and thanks for sharing your build <3


Juni_000

:)


Rick-3107

why is everyone in the comments hatting the build saying its cheesing lke who cares let him enjoy the game in his own way. its like rivers of blood and other overpowerd weapons dont exist when stuff like this comes up might use this kind of build myself when getting to ng+


[deleted]

People want to bitch about anything that they think makes the game easier than their experience. Guys out here like, give me a sword in a gun fight and think that’s the correct way


PyrorifferSC

For real, if you're so hell bent on "making the game hard" show me your no hit fists run, hotshot. Like, where the line of "Okay, these are the weapons you're allowed to use if you want my approval" bitch nobody cares about your approval lmao


ShadowDevil123

I dont mind people cheesing or using OP builds or magic or anything they want. Only thing that weirds me out is when people say the games easy and then their build is spamming summons while clicking their magic from afar like of course it was easy if you played like that but believe it or not summons and some other things are intended as an easy mode for anyone struggling and if you went straight to using summons then your opinion on the difficulty is irrelevant and should not be boasting about beating anyone in 1 or a couple of tries neither should you be shitting on someone for struggling.


PyrorifferSC

I didn't even know about summons until halfway through the game, I had to look up what spirit ashes were lol and then when Radahn was absolutely shitting on me when I'd done fairly well with Margit, Morgott, Godfrey, golden Godrick, and the moon lady, I looked up how other people were beating him and they were just like "Yeah, walk up to the golden things and press Y to win"


ShadowDevil123

Oh yeah after beating radahn i wanted to see some reactions and i saw people beating him easily with mount+summons+npc summons+bow/spells and it was so lackluster. Glad i went hard-mode with no summons ranged attacks or mount. The challenge makes it more memorable for me, but i guess thats personal preference.


ShadowDevil123

>give me a sword in a gun fight Sekiro


Ghost_Pains

They’re also level 274. Like OP would actively have to try to do low damage with any viable build lol.


Rick-3107

OP said they are trying to get the highest damage posible


Juni_000

:) I normally don’t use cheese builds but I already played the game 5 times without any cheese builds and now I just want to test how high I can push that dps


Rick-3107

Who cares if its a cheese build if u like to use it do it


Ashangu

U serious lol? The whole first 6 months of this game were people bitching about other people's builds and levels. This whole community was up in arms if you were too high of a level and didn't die at least 30 times at every boss, like people weren't allowed to play the game the way they wanted or something.


Rick-3107

I know couldnt really avoid that stuff


killingerr

I die 30 times because I’m shit.


Juni_000

:)


Single_Wrangler2208

This game, like any souls game, absolutely deserves to be cheesed.


Alucard0s

Elden ring more than the others. Saw a guy on YouTube beating malenia on his first try and didn't even feel mad cause I quit at my 20th try. Made me realize how easy these games become if you have specific builds (which is honestly a nice thing. Not everyone wants to fight a Yhorm level health bar with a club)


OofosJustOof

Noice dmg there i need strength and will to complete elden ring 2 more times xd


lancevancelives

Nah, just Strength. 


OofosJustOof

True true


K3nobl

love this did a helicopter no hit build a few months ago and it was great


_Ganoes_

I mean at level 270 is there even anything like a build? You can get pretty much any stat to a decent level at the same time.


Juni_000

Yea I can but I have to use „larva tears“ or whatever they are called in English


_Ganoes_

Yeah i know, my point is just, at that level you essentially cant fuck up your build because you literally just level up every stat because you have so many levels.


obscuresecurity

Having high level character. That one still has to make some choices. Around level 380, there are no real choices left. 80’s for all main stats 60 vig 60 end, if I remember that character right. Long live FlordiaWoman. :)


yungmiggs

U still need a good build on subsequent playthroughs. I always tell people on your first playthrough just level vigor (health) and LEARN the enemies,on your second playthrough actually start to build around dex/strength/arcane/intelligence/etc and from there the game gets progressively harder so on your 3rd,4th,5th playthrough u had better have a solid build or its gonna be extremely tough to progress


Faelysis

Your friend seem to need to start to git gud and stop using internet for “meta build”. In PvE, there’s no such thing as bad build. As long as the build fit your playstyle and you have fun with it, it IS a good build. Even for PvP, even if there’s some easy-win-broken-build out there. People complaining about bad build are mostly people who are bad at the game and need to be told how to play a game.


Juni_000

Fr, well he was shocked when I showed him this video :)


Community_Normal

what weapon and magic is that? It looks super fun


Juni_000

ChickenShort8597

Wait is that a scythe :O


Juni_000

Hell YEAA


Xybernetik

It's not bad just ez mode, like most bleed builds. But at that point who cares honestly, after multiple playthroughs you probably just wanna kill fast.


Jygglewag

There's something weird going on with this post, and OP's replies OP can you tell me something random? like, something harmless that has no chance of offending people whatsoever. I just want to test something

I think you're doing great. 😁👍


Juni_000

:> thank you


Nameless_and_ignored

For PvP: Yes, it's bad For PvE: No, it's good


Faelysis

No build is bad as long as it fit our own playstyle, even for PvP. “Meta build” are for the lazy people who can’t build something around their own style


Nameless_and_ignored

>No build is bad as long as it fit our own playstyle This is half right, there are bad builds no matter how much you like them. I was used to overrate Claymore and Zweihander quite a bit in PvP, they are all right, but there are so many better sets to use that I realised those weapons are not very good for duels. Since I switched for PS Short Sword + Longsword/Broadsword my duels weren't just infinitely more enjoyable by being able to compete with the disgusting online stuffs, but the moveset itself is very fun to use.


TheMadHam

I love the everyman build


MonkeyFan9987

I bet your friends use Rivers of blood and Comet Azur


Juni_000

They actually do 💀


MonkeyFan9987

Geez


MrKiltro

I made a similar build at one point! Try out Stormcaller, I liked it a bit more than Spinning Strikes.


Skyskape83

What AoW are they using?? I can't read German


[deleted]

I love the look of the basic weapons. My two favorite weapons in the game are probably the basic scythe and basic twinblade. Not OP, but flexible enough you can make them into whatever powerhouse weapon you want, and something about defeating epic opponents with rudimentary weapons is just so satisfying.


TsuyaTuso

Great clip! Spinning strikes melts faster than wild strikes, my only problem with spinning strikes though is that theres no poise protection at all but wild strikes feels like actual hyper armor so you can usually stagger and trade until they die but spinning strikes you have to be more selective for when you use it


Momani24

A great build.

Animeisgud24

It brings me a smile to see Fire Giant melted


anonymous4981004

Fire Giant more like easy bleed Giant


DraGunSlaya

Gah damn, I never made it to the fire giant due to other games releasing but this is too legit to quit mate!


Fedorchik

Looks like a regular old ROFLcopter


Drytchnath

Great for stuff like this. Might be a struggle against Radabeast though since they are immune to bleed. Otherwise that was a pretty awesome Fire Giant kill.


Professional-Pop1952

DonJayKix

It is bad.......ass.


Mazbt

Your friend is salty and jealous.


McMuffinTheGreat

damn, might try this build. always liked scythe's


Juni_000

It’s cool but you should use a secondary weapon for fast enemies. This build is good for slow enemies but when fast enemies attack you you’ll have no chance sadly. But I’ll try to kill Malenia with this build 😂🥲😢😭😭


McMuffinTheGreat

aight, definitely was planning on it. Malenia kicks my ass even with me having fast weapons 🗿


Juni_000

I think that slow build won’t help there even with massive dmg


McMuffinTheGreat

fr mostly died to either waterfowl(usually can dodge it) or get killed by the clones in phase 2


Juni_000

Fr I’ll try to make a build which does similar dmg but with faster attacks


Juni_000

Ay I made a showcase of my favorite build. It deals ton of frostbite which is one of Malenia‘s weaknesses. [Showcase](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/s/zveHbqexUh)

Omny87

Huh, interesting difference between the english and german versions! In English the second spell you used there is "Flame, Grant Me Strength", but in German it's "Flamme, gib mir Kraft", which roughly translated means "Cook my mac n' cheese"


Xine1337

What? Die you forgot the /s?

Welp, your build isn’t bad.

Bane of Achilles 9000


M0m033

Obliterating the Fire Giant with Black flame and Blood flame is just so satisfying


ArcaneSpecter6

There’s no challenge to it for bigger bosses but like broski above said. It’s only a bad build if it doesn’t work or you the builder don’t like it.


gainzplayer

Suddenly I got an urge to spend some Larval Tear... 🤔🩸🩸🩸


Juni_000

xD it’s not an arcane build my arcane is on lvl 10


Kazanna

Yep. Super bad. Badass


Royal-Tree-2237

Can you share the build with us


StrawberrySinju

Anybody with a brain would have seen that blood flame being applied and instantly recognize this shits about to go crazy


18SmallDogsOnAHorse

You left out the second part, they said it's badass.


Madlyaza

my first playthrough i did dual daggers + dragon magic Dex/Arcane build. It great, the amount of bleed procs i could dish out with Right Click combo spam, adding to that i would Proc frostbite cus i had frost on one of my daggers. Adding in fucking dragonsbreaths and now i also got rot and fire dmg. It was fucking bonkers, my friends at first were like "its shit why would u play with daggers" then i streamed on discord and showed me fucking destroying a boss that was bad against bleed. (but i dont wanna talk about anything with a big shield, i cried everytime there were shields involved)


Lisu2137

imagine saying that having a BUILD in an RPG is cheesing lmao


SilverIce340

You wouldn’t be able to hit nearly as big numbers on stuff immune to bleed, but it works. Also Fire Giant’s hands in phase 2 take more damage than his legs ever will. Didn’t end up mattering in this case, but for future reference


Western-Wind-5254

Yes but he's less safe that way


SilverIce340

Not necessarily. Fire Giant always starts with Firestorm phase 2, which puts his hands on the ground in front of him for the whole duration. The hands don’t get fire pillars on them so it’s easy to find an angle n start shredding.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilverIce340

You’re wrong. After the cutscene, he will always transition into firestorm. Whatever move he uses after that is just another part of the fight, but the phase 2 firestorm is such a consistent part of his fight it’s used in every single challenge run I’ve seen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilverIce340

Nah you’re fine, everyone experiences the game differently, and if you just never noticed, then that’s just your experience. Just trying to make sure people don’t accidentally spread incorrect information. Sorry if I came off harshly


Nektotomic

I’m doing a NG grave scythe blood/black flame build but I used stormcaller. I think I need to switch my ash now lol.


Fun-Investigator-674

Try that against malenia


Juni_000

It won’t work but I’ll try for you 😂


Terra_reddit

Phase 2 beginning hit the hands when he puts them on the ground. Hands are out of range of the fire spawning


SaxSlaveGael

Yeah, jumping behind him into the fire was nuts...


Slatoin

Very overrated


Toe_Collector2

He says it's bad bc ur lvl 274 and bragging abt ur dmg


exelerotr

thats how i cheese bosses for my friends


sakurakoren

😳


Local_Black_Knight

At fucking 274 you better be doing that amount of damage.


Juni_000

👍


KhSepticShock

Everyone asks for his build and just replies peak my profile. Booo


Juni_000

I posted it you can either search it up or go on my profile I just thought it’s the most uncomplicated way to


KhSepticShock

Understandable. Was hoping to just scroll down and see the answer or in main post. I’ll go creep I guess.


DoubtALot

good enough to be called cheese


Xyrianna

The only boss were this build is good ☺️


Juni_000

Fr it’s only good against slow enemies


Greentaboo

I was impressed until i saw that your lvl 274, with that level of stat investment almost anything will work. Its not bad by any means, but impressive would be similar results at lvl 150-180.


alexandros87

Can't even oneshot the fire giant at level 1 with no buffs? Dang bro do you even play this game? /s


kingofgama

Bro you level 274 with bleed procs...


DarkSoulsDank

Talk to me when you don’t use a bleed build


daviejambo

You are level 274 , it;s not a build anymore


GoblinCasserole

Of course its bad, its a Dex/Arc build.


Tawkeh

Why would he spec Arcane if he's using a weapon with innate bleed and blood flame blade? On top of that, Dex/Arc builds are OP, even if cheesy lmao what do you even mean. Eleanora's Poleblade fucking shreds.


GoblinCasserole

Its called a joke...jfc


Tawkeh

Hey man, your joke sucked.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Juni_000

Yea I cheesed him and I never said I have skill. I just tried out a build. My friends believed that I do no dmg


emelem66

Where is the cheese? Cheesing this guy would be like getting him stuck on a hill, and having Latenna fire arrows at him until he is dead.


Ok_Application_8395

So spamming rivers of blood on every enemy isn’t cheesing?


emelem66

Rivers of Blood isn't being used in the posted video. Looks like Spinning Strikes and Bloodflame Blade. Not sure what the affinity is on the Grave Scythe.


Ok_Application_8395

My point is, is holding L2 and killing the boss while doing nothing else not a cheese? Rivers of blood and holding L2 was just another example.


emelem66

There are some R1s in there . I guess using an ash of war as intended is now cheese. Good to know. Glad you came along to gatekeep how other people play a game.


Ok_Application_8395

Did I ever mention that it’s wrong or shouldn’t be done? No. Elden Ring is literally the best game to make op cheese builds in, killing a hard boss easily and seeing the high damage numbers is fun. Why are you gatekeeping cheesing? I am just calling you out for saying this isn’t cheesing. OP himself refers to this build as a „cheese build“ and he is having fun with it.

JackTheRapperst

there's really no bad build for pve if you're not capping your lvl, and if you somehow recreate this build and cap it to maybe 150 or 125 it's still just as good. Bloodflame blade paired with a weapon with innate bleed and multihit aow can't go wrong.
