I created an updated version of this build for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, addressing some of the changes introduced in patch 1.12. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0q6vo0wpEgI.html
@@KimoChaserI want to say thank you 🙏 . You are the Only build channel on my list . I really like your ideas and how you go into them . I missed so much stuff on my first playthrough when the game came out . Now I am preparing for the DLC with different builds and your builds are my number one blueprints . I differ here and there at some stuff to personalise them for me , but over all your guides are the best ❤. Thank you and yes he is right use your natural voice . Don’t use AI .
@@Jeckyl72 Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support and am humbled by your trust in my builds. It means a lot to hear that my guides have been helpful in your journey. I will see you in the Land of Shadow, my friend. ❤
Ya, I love the look of that character, very well made. I will try to link the slides from a different source because this one was removed for some reason.
@@ihormay3418 incantations are definitely more diverse, and I like the Death/Fire incantations much more than Death/Fire Sorceries for sure. I am partial to the star-like appearance of Sorceries though.
Carian themed builds are my favorite since the Carian Knights are my personal favorite lore in game. I use a similar build on my main save. Inhave Grandeur on a Knights great sword, and apparently greatswords get more poise on the attack which helps you get it off more often. I've got glintblade phalanx on my misericord and the Carian staff and shield, with carian retaliation in my off hand. I wear the Carian Knigths helm, armor, and the fire prelate's gauntlets and greaves.
I'm not the biggest fan of Greatswords in Elden Ring except for Blasphemous Blade but mainly for the AoW. However, I used the Claymore with Glintblade Phalanx during this run and it was surprisingly enjoyable.
Return of the King! Missed these~ Missed your voice though, it's very unique, the ai voice just sounds lifeless. Either way though, excited to see more of these!
no disrespect but your accent is hard to understand. I think the ai voice is a good change. sure it sounds fake but these are build guides not a day in the life video
It was an experiment. I thought the AI would make my content more accessible. Intelligence Builds are my favorite as well. Thank you so much for watching and the feedback.❤
perfect for what i want for the early game, so well explained and simple to follow. beautiful editing work too. especially with the drone view explanations of where to find certain items, i never realized i missed the misericorde in stormveil !
Love this build. Played through up to altas plateau with a guts build but wanted to switch it up. Definitely an adjustment going from breaking everything’s poise but a great challenge
Hi. I'm playing through Elden Ring. I really like this build a lot and plan to start a run made for the DLC. I like how you broke everything down into simple bite sized pieces. I'm not the smartest person in the world, so thank you. Consider me subbed. I look forward to your Erdtree Builds.
I may not use every part of this build but its very much helped me on my quest for a good Strength Int build. You’ve helped me find where alot of spells I needed without having to watch 15 different videos. I love how you show exactly where the items are on the map and in game, this is your first video Ive seen and I will be watching more(especially the BG3 ones) thank you for your genuine help.
hey, in your opinion of all of your builds in elden ring which one is the best? also really miss ur voice i loved the accent and it was so unique, please go back to ur voice.
I just found your channel, and I love everything about your videos. You know your stuff, the production and sound are top notch. I've subbed, and I can't wait to check out your other builds. Thanks!!
I haven't conducted tests recently, but fortunately, I have my previous data for comparison. However, in my experience, I've noticed that people often exaggerate. To be completely fair, the Glintbalde Phalanx was extremely effective at breaking poise, and some adjustments were necessary.
Thanks for the answer! i tested it personally and it appears the poise damage is halved to 5 per sword, however when using the follow-up thrust with a straightsword/greatsword/katana you can still manage to break most NPC stances. as always, a very effective build :)
so if i use the claymore and misericorde, i should use glintblade phalanx on claymore and carian grandeur on misericorde?, beutiful build man im enjoying it alot so far
Well, the new Ash of War, Carian Sovereignty does great poise damage but similar to Carian Grandeur it requires a bit of time to charge up. We are going to need to find a replacement for Glintblade Phalanx. Perhaps just replace it with Greatblade Phalanx because it does seem the better option now.
This build really caught my eye as I didn’t wanna just spam comet azur, so I respeced and matched it but I heard the new update nerfed glintblade phalanx to break opponents poise, have you given this build any playtime since the DLC? Is there anything you recommend maybe that we can break poise easier after nerf?
I might make a combination of this build with the Int/Faith build that im running. Carrian Grandeur might go well with the Milady light greatsword as well, sonce that weapon is a great poise breaker.
Awesome video, planning a magical knight run for my ng+ run, what was the ash of war you had for that dagger on your build? Looked like a lightning ash?
Im going further then this build. im going full arcane swordsman build. its already doing 1k a swing. an the knights set does not give the best results with the carian blades an bow sadly. an i went wrench an you end up with more stats then any other characters. if you going to max lvl then it won't matter. but im struggling in cause my vigor is only 20 an i need more still. it really hard at the beginning. 60 is always minimum of 60. also the Dlc has some stuff that would push this over 4k damage.
Now that the DLC is Out, this build can be tremendously upgraded with just switching Carian Grandeur with Carian ****** from the DLC. Nothing else to change, just use this new Ash of War instead, with the same loadout. Immense damage upgrade, even more poise damage. Have fun tarnished
hey man, found you're video just bfr making a new character for the DLC. Your videos are really high-quality and full of info, really awesome stuff!! Subscribed and looking fwd to DLC content!
Could someone good at making builds and stuff to me the best order to get every thing because I’m kinda new to Elden and I heard that if you go for shard of Alexander to late you can’t get it
Well, it isn't a bad idea. After all, the Moonlight Greatsword is an intelligence weapon and this is an intelligence build. However, the Moonlight Greatsword will not be my first choice for this build.
Do you have a written guide? This is a great video, but skipping around chapters while trying to reference it is a bit of a pain while actually playing
A full written guide, no. However, if you want my build template you can find it in the following link er-build-planner.nyasu.business/?b=d5eaa4b6a34350
@@KemiKaze I'm very sorry. I thought you were asking about the updated version of this build for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which I released 2 days ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0q6vo0wpEgI.html However, you're still using two weapons for the Carian Swordmaster: the Glintblade Phalanx Ash of War on the Claymore to stance-break your enemies, then swapping to the Miséricorde with Carian Grandeur to finish them off. I do urge you to check out the updated version if you plan to venture into the DLC with this build.
@@KimoChaser I'm still in the early stages of the game , so I'm still using this guide, when I reach the dlc I'll look at the new guide .. looking forward to it !
I know this is the carian grandeur build, but also consider the glinstone pebble AoW you get from rogier. Great utility with a hard-hitting short ranged spell (PVE pests - bats, dogs, imps, etc...) but the followup R2 hits very hard with good poise damage as well. Its a great combo to pull out to interrupt casters/shooters and then skewer them, and also for nimble opponents that avoid the pebble but will get roll-catched by the followup. If both attacks land, you are doing 150% more damage than carian piercer for half the FP cost
Wow!!! I just saw this and started a new game to replicate this. What makes this different is in depth explanations about literally all aspects of the build! Well done, and thanks!
Very thematic and fun, but I noticed in my playthrough that i came to rely a lot on Astel's Wing and its Nebula weapon art for stance breaking and crowd control over the Phalanx. I also noticed that there are no fast ranged options so that weakness can come back to bite you in certain pve encounters.
thanks for the guide!! I was using another guide that was built around the phalanx ability. I had a question, did this get changed at all? it is not staggering enemies for me after two casts or... at all really. Am I doing something wrong? is it dependant on something im missing?
@@MamboMRS would that technically mean that casting it double that amount would lead to the stance break? or is it just basically without that advantage now
@@adabunny5212 After the patch, each blade of Glintblade Phalanx does 5 stance damage. That's 5x4 blades. The follow up thrust attack that you can chain with it does 12-22 depending on which weapon type you use. So as it is now it's much harder to stance break enemies with it. Keeping in mind that after about! 6 seconds of not taking damage, bosses start resetting the stance damage inflicted. So you need to manage to hit with all 4 blades plus the follow up thrust, twice in a short amount of time to achieve the stance break. I've lately opted to use the Greatblade Phalanx sorcery twice plus a charged R2 from a sword to stance break bosses. Try both and see what works best for you
I used the Estoc thrusting sword during my initial testing. But as I mentioned, I used Carian Grandeur on the Misericorde and Glintblade Phalanx on the Claymore.
@@KimoChaser Yea man, with the rise of completely AI videos and everybody following the trend, I can promise you that your voice is much better to listen to than a machine's.
Very nice video and build! I wanna use this build with a straight sword, which u recommended Lordsworn's Straight Sword for. According to scaling is find on the internet, wouldnt Broadsword or Longsword outscale the lordsworn in terms of AR?
Although Carian Grandeur comes pre-attached to the Carian Knight's Sword. It has poor scaling and offers much less damage with Carian Grandeur than any other weapon with Magic affinity.
