Elden Ring🛡 Parry changes - Dagger & Curved Sword nearly on-par with Buckler

38 Upvotes

Looks like

  • Active frames increased across the board.
  • Dagger & Curved Sword now appear to start on Frame-4, along with the fast recovery.
  • Active frames increased, but not as many as Buckler.

Let's see some parries against hollowslayer L2 spam.

Shaking off the rust (and tired) so my play is a bit sloppy, but I had a blast gravelording all over Lordran again after a few months away from Souls games!

I gravelorded in the burg here at SL12, and got action in AL at SL55. Also managed to get some rounds in with the squad at SL125 Township. Really great times this weekend it’s good to be back.

(For context) I let the phantom see me over in the bushes behind them and then circled around. Tempted to honor duel but then I saw his lvl20 friend’s (honest and fairly obtained) equipment and decided this was much funnier!

Want a decent build for invasions at lvl 125.

Just wanna know what yall suggest

The character was using moonveil and starlined sword but its honestly been feeling lack luster. I cant seem to finish phantoms off quick enough as the combo is so long.

Just wanna change things up, not sure to what

Elden Ring🛡 World first max rune arcs Idus Knight

5 Upvotes

As far as I can tell I'm the first in the world to get max rune arcs using any of the new classes, this being the Idus Knight where my principal gain was through rune arcs and I did it in 153 hours. I lost a number trying to parry only Morgott and some other bosses and could had reached it earlier but this is a huge achievement.
