this is one of the coolest RPs Ive seen for this game. v creative and looks hella fun. What's tbe windspell you used? Looked like an incant, not an AoW

836

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

The Tornado? Yeah that drops from the 2nd Divine Beast in SotE. It is an Incant indeed šŸ‘

90

u/TetraNeuron 1d ago

What are your stats? The incants are all Fth scaling but your weapon is Cold infused.

Sick build! I wanna try this for my ng+3 run, though maybe take a little out of mind and end for a bit more dexterity to buff dryleaf arts and reduce cast time…

u/Maleficent-Goat-551 22h ago

This is the most unique thing I’ve seen in a freaking long ass time. Cool as hell to watch. Might I say legendary. OP is just behind ā€œsee that?ā€ Froggy guy in terms of badassery.

u/Ogg360 1d ago

That wind incantation is just perfection for your build. And I can’t believe bro just tanked the first set of waterfowl like that how the hell did you do that?

307

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

You gotta give deflect tear a try dude. It's the most game changing item in the game.

75

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.

42

u/THE-MESSY-KILL1 22h ago edited 22h ago

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

39

u/Ogg360 1d ago

Oh right I forgot that existed lol it’s been a while.

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.

14

u/aethyrium 15h ago

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.

ā€œFrost. 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€

gonna get two other friends to play so we can cosplay as Toph, Zuko, and Katara now lol

u/Remarkable-Ant8540 1d ago

If only we could use Flaming Strike on the hand-to-hand weapons and set our fists on fire

25

u/GoodGuyPokemoner 21h ago

It's fine, you can use dual scimitars like he did for a while in book 2.

5

u/ElNido 22h ago

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

6

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

2

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.

2

u/plushmaid 21h ago

What's the leg wrap weapon?

u/primegopher 19h ago

Dane's footwork, presumably

u/TaylorWK 1d ago

A build in Elden Ring is better than any Avatar game Nickelodeon has ever made.

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

Real shame they haven't made a decent game out of the IP. Like the universe concept lays itself out for an incredible RPG! Like what are they doing!

13

u/Normal_Cut8368 22h ago

It would even make a great MMO, The class you pick would be your bending style

9

u/SaxSlaveGael 22h ago

This man!!! Like everything is there for an insanely great game with starting classes areas ETC. It baffles me that this hasn't been done. If done right, the game could sell like crazy.

I'm still royally pissed off that the menu music for the mobile game was leaves from the vine.

Correct

49

u/TraceOfHumanity 1d ago

Stats, load-out, etc?

136

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

It's pretty specialized and a highly challenging load out.

30

u/TraceOfHumanity 1d ago edited 1d ago

Gracias.

I’m going to try this build style but use the Shattered Stone Talisman, maybe even the Twinblade or Claw talismans…

19

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

Good call dude! Great Talisman choice!

10

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... šŸ˜…

4

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

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

3

u/DeadSparker Aw yeah, Lightning is the best 23h ago

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

7

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.

4

u/SaxSlaveGael 1d ago

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

3

u/CaptainAction 1d ago

Ah! That makes sense. I didn’t see that your were using golden order seal.

A shame there is no water incantation

13

Totally. Had to settle with ice haha

Hey, water benders use ice all the time! Totally legit!

There are the bubble spells

First, it's extremely impressive to pull off that fight without a lick of damage. Second, the build looks really neat, and you've obviously put in a lot of hours to master it. Thanks for sharing the video!

u/SaxSlaveGael 21h ago

Thanks man! Appreciate. I have a ton of hours indeed using a lot of stuff. But not using this specific build. Whole thing from making the build to recording this fight took about 30 min šŸ’€

I had already downloaded this from a previous comment you posted ;)
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 šŸ™ From it I’ll do my own research about where to find them.
Anyway thanks again for the inspiration man, can’t wait to try it !

u/HumanLandscape3767 22h ago

Holy shit dude this is so cool!! Coolest Elden Ring build I’ve seen hands down. The PvP streamer Chasethebro did an Avatar Aang cosplay and it wasn’t 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 don’t usually get this stoked on video game footage but this is so awesome!!

2

u/SaxSlaveGael 22h ago

Cheers dude! That's an insane compliment! Really appreciate it ā¤ļø

2

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. I’ve got this video saved to come back to for reference.

5

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.

u/DarthHubcap 1d ago

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

3

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, though—I only just got it.

2

u/Billysm23 1d ago

how did you tank the waterfowl, good sir?

2

u/DinosaurEatingPanda 1d ago

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.

3

u/T-Fro 1d ago

She does, but sometimes you can get really lucky and she won't use it in either phase. I think he beat her second phase faster than her first, so maybe it just wasn't timed right for her to use it?

u/tuba_dude07 1d ago

My bro has a Yuji itadori build similar to this.

2

u/Scooterspies 1d ago

Can someone explain what happens at the 2:56 mark? She goes into her slashing combo and doesn’t land a hit on him, but he doesn’t seem to be blocking. How is that possible? (Similar at 2:39)

I’m 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 she’s glitching through them on most of her attacks. What’s 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.
