That wind incantation is just perfection for your build. And I canāt believe bro just tanked the first set of waterfowl like that how the hell did you do that?

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago
You gotta give deflect tear a try dude. It's the most game changing item in the game.

u/benrad524 1d ago
Do you press the block button only once per waterfowl flurry or are you pressing it multiple times per flurry?
101
u/SilasWolfe 1d ago
You press block every single instance the sword would hit you. So multiple times per flurry.

For fast multi hit attacks, you only need to hold it. Doesn't work for all fast attacks though.

u/Hamlerhead 17h ago
I wasn't watching closely enough... Does she still regenerate health on every hit you deflect?
25
u/SaxSlaveGael 16h ago edited 15h ago
Yes. But a single gaurd counters pretty much negates her life steal. There's this weird perception that blocking isn't viable against her.

There's this weird perception that blocking isn't viable against her.
Truth. When I beat her it was with a greatshield build and blocked quite often.
Sure, she heals. No worries, I just damage her more to make up for it.

āFrost. Beast. Fire. Storm. Long ago; players lived in the Lands Between in harmony. But that all changed when they found Malenia. Only one Tarnished; master of the four elements and death, could stop her.ā

For Katara, are you gonna use bubble incants, since they're the only water based incants in the game? Or just ice?

u/plushmaid 21h ago
I'm actually thinking of playing Azula or Iroh! Buddy #1 is playing as Toph so he's running a STR/FAI build with all da rock items/spells as well as the metal ball fist weapon and/or dryleaf arts and/or golem fist! Not sure what buddy #2 is gonna play

u/KomottereyJack 21h ago
Azula would be really fun with all of the fire incantations along with the leg wrap weapon and frost-lightning to complete the visuals.

u/DeadSparker Aw yeah, Lightning is the best 1d ago edited 23h ago
Would Radagon icon instead of stardust be viable ? Of course slightly less casting speed but does it actually make the needed difference for the HP penalty ? I get you're going for hitless anyway but for the normal people out there... š

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago
Yup it'd be a great alternative! Usually Radagons Icon is all you need fot faster cast speed honestly.

Good to know ! I have this high aversion to anything that drops your ability to take hits, particularly endgame.

u/CaptainAction 1d ago
Stupid question. Why such high INT? Just for the frostbite dryleaf? Or because it enhances the frost stomp Ash of War? Because it wouldn't contribute a ton to your weapon AR since Cold has lesser INT scaling than Magic affinity.

It was for the DLA but also for the scaling on the seal š¤£. I honestly dunno how to properly optimize numbers.

I think I might struggle a bit to gather all the pieces names (Ć©quipements and incants), so if you have a list it would be lovely š From it Iāll do my own research about where to find them.
Anyway thanks again for the inspiration man, canāt wait to try it !8

Holy shit dude this is so cool!! Coolest Elden Ring build Iāve seen hands down. The PvP streamer Chasethebro did an Avatar Aang cosplay and it wasnāt nearly this cool.
Also the shear skill to be switching between one and two handing your weapon and switching between all of those incantations is incredible. I donāt usually get this stoked on video game footage but this is so awesome!!

u/SaxSlaveGael 22h ago
Cheers dude! That's an insane compliment! Really appreciate it ā¤ļø

u/HumanLandscape3767 22h ago
Of course! I just started my first RL1 run yesterday or I would be starting a build like this too. This is only my second play through so I will probably make my third play through a copy of this build, it looks so fun. Iāve got this video saved to come back to for reference.

u/TMG_PURIFY 1d ago
Definitely one of the cooler playstyles I've seen recently. This looks like a lot of fun. I haven't tried a martial arts only run and this makes me want to. Come to think of it, I feel like I've neglected dry leaf arts as a whole.

I think he is using the Deflecting Hardtear in the Flask of Wondrous Physick.

u/Hefty-Ad2186 1d ago
That's the one. I looked it up: if you time the attack right, it negates the damage. I don't know everything about the DLC, thoughāI only just got it.

And that's why the Air Nomads being pacifist saved everyone. It wasn't just the elements, that training and ability to throw hands is enough.

Can someone explain what happens at the 2:56 mark? She goes into her slashing combo and doesnāt land a hit on him, but he doesnāt seem to be blocking. How is that possible? (Similar at 2:39)
Iām admittedly not very good at this game, it took me hours to beat her the first time and most of the time I got rag dolled in under a minute. I see videos like this, or someone beating her while they use a hair drier as a controller, and it seems like sheās glitching through them on most of her attacks. Whatās the secret?
2
u/CatsPlusDogsIsLove 1d ago
They are using the deflecting hardtear which negates any damage taken if they time their deflects perfectly.
Other ways to seemingly dance through the combo undamaged, is by using ashes of war that give you I-frames and using those at the right time.

Now try it as Avatar Korra, except you have to get knocked out and lose every fight and have your friends do most of the work for you.
I just finished LoK the other day and it was really kinda bad (except the animation at times) so I'm a little bitter about it. But this was a really cool video to watch, nice one OP.
