Top 10 Best Elden Ring Infusible Weapons  

RIP Akira Toriyama

I REALLY hope whoever designed the Rusted Anchor is cooking for the DLC because we need more weapons like it. Powerful, unique looking and versitle. I'll be a disciple of the Anchor forever. Great job! Can't wait to see this updated for the DLC :D

One last bonus for the Greatsword, when blocking it has insane damage reduction and guard boost. It's almost a shield.

Great stars is GOATed and you can get 2 per playthrough relatively early to be an absolute powerstancing menace.

Since the damage and speed of claws was buffed they have become dps machines. Infusable claws still lack versatile AoW option (they do get impaling thrust though) and don't deal very much stance damage and lack range so I don't know whether I would put them above any of the weapons in the list, but if it's pure dps you want they absolutely deliver

I did a Guts cosplay run where I used the Greatsword, Pulley Crossbow, beast incantations and studied the best consumables for different bosses to use and made sure to use them as often as possible when enemies had exploitable weaknesses like holy pots on undead. I also tried to use Spirit Ashes that I could equate to Berserk characters, like the Page for Serpico and etc. The Greatsword was obviously the most fun part of that though, most fun weapon I've ever used in a Soulsborne with Giant Hunt and Lion's claw carrying me.

Great stars slaps so hard

I've been having a lot of fun with an all fist arcane build. Deadly poison jump attacks from the venomous fang, occult cragblade star fist for charged heavy stance breaking, and blood raptor's talons with repeating thrust.

Recently did a bandit's curved sword build, with flame art infusion and lion's claw to deal with enemies with shields and it was just a fun build.

Don’t think I don’t see you casually sneaking in a perfect Waterfowl dodge at 3:17

Infusable weapons in general are really good. They can be whatever you want them to be

I just completed a run with a Cross Naginata and Bloodflame Blade. Initially I thought about using Blood Tax for the multi-hit, push that bleed back up a bit but that Ash just sucks. it doesn't stagger anyone so you always get bopped out of your move. I ended up stopping to think about things and decided to try Sword Dance which, honestly, pretty much saved the entire run, that combo was amazing! HOWEVER watching this now I'm a bit miffed I didn't think to give Spinning Weapon a try. Wonder how that would've gone

I quite enjoy the Iron Greatsword. It’s such a beast, especially if you nab a second!

To me the coolest thing about the Cross-Naginata is it’s clearly inspired by Isshin the Sword Saint’s weapon in Sekiro; it even has the same movement pattern that he does when spamming single hand R1 with it 😁

I like Flamberge a lot ngl. Having bleed on a greatsword on top of a fire art infuse for my faith/strength build is always a nice boost.

Been playing the bandit curved swords alongside the bleed one mainly cause it reminds me of the sell sword twin blades, it’s a blast

Good list interesting you didn’t include the clay man’s harpoon, can’t wait for your updated tier list..Thanks for these vids..

I wanna see my baby Claymore on this list but understood given the other banger options.

While i understand Star Fist at 2, it is my absokute 1. Once in a STR build with both the Greatsword and Giant Crusher, i threw everything away to punch people in the face. I otimized my stamina regen+poise the best way possible while having Bloodhound step equiped on bleed affinity. The game became a breeze, but a extremely fun one. My best fight was against Placi where i finished hin with a crit. Satisfaction 100

Saw the Claymore and other GSs mentioned, and while I love the Claymore I do agree that Rusted Anchor and Greatsword are probably better. Even on NG, dual wielded Gargoyle Twinblade + Twinned Knightsword or Godskin Peeler + Twinblade/EP will outdamage pretty much everything on this list. I agree with ranking those below stuff like the bandit sword or cross naginata though as the dual twinblade moveset is really only good on jump attacks and needs lots of talismans and the thorny tear to see its potential brought out, whereas on NG the bandit sword and cross naginata are good from the outset even without dual wielding.

This list has me wondering if Great Stars is actually better than GUGS. Bleed, strike damage, greathammer stance damage, along with the moveset you get when 1 handed (it's amazing with a greatshield)

You should do a tierlist of all the weapons and use that to rank all weapons worst to best

I just farmed a bandits curved sword and it is really nice but i need to find a spear to run since i offhand a staff and a claymans harpoon sounds dope

Poison Swamp Fire Giant Duo boss fight confirmed for DLC

My beloved Great Stars

I don’t know if you see this, but I feel like after you do the non-Infusable weapons list you should do best Elden ring weapons in general

Pickaxe is the Rusted anchor but it has more stance damage and its heavies have better hyper armor, not to mention it takes a lot faster for you to get right out of the gate.

nah exectuioners greataxe goes hard af tho

I'd love a Messmer Soldier Spear vs Lance vid or short

Bleed warped axe is crazy, try it

the funny thing is i see sooo many ppl acting like they are some sort of mega super impossible challenge runner just because they aren't using rivers of blood, whilst using the great sword with a occult infusion and blood grease

sacred Erdsteel dagger with sacred blade goes brrrr

I absolutely love the naginata such a fun weapon

Nice list. But now, after I have watched your great video, there is a question. Which one should I choose? There are so many.

Hey Youwy, If you have a high level quality build (80 points into both strength as well as dex) and you compare that to a high level faith-strength build (80 points into both faith and strength) for melee damage, which build comes out on top?

If you use the heavy attack then Zweihander is definitely better in my opinion but if you’re just an L2 spamming machine then Greatsword deals more damage

I think power stanced bandits curved swords can be arguably the best weapons in the game

9:25 Today I learned you can put Spinning Weapon aow on a Cross Naginata. In other words, Dancing Blade on TRT-LACED CRACK.

Great Stars do be build different tho

What straight sword build were you using in the beginning of the vid I’ve been looking for a good dual straight sword build

I’m still mad about Spectral Lance being Arcane specific. If it was elemental I would absolutely love it… 👿

I'd Argue the zwei is better than the greatsword bc it can scale well with more builds, it's lighter, and you can get that spear talisman counterattack damage on the heavies

i have a question i have infiused the grate star with the prayer stryke, why i cant infused with ani infusion spell

W list

Bro i need to see your Rusted Anchor build pleaseeeeeeeeee 😭

04:43 the Colossal Weapons do more stance damage with their charged R2

I recommend to make your weapon tier list after the dlc so you can put dlc weapon in that tier list By the way Nagakiba is the goat💪

Guts approved

What do you mean by you get decent variety with the greatstar? Isn’t the moveset just overhead slam attacks like every other great hammer?

What would you recommend just for fun? I wanted to run a darkmoon greatsword or scavenger's curved swords build but I don't want to be just absolutely cheesing through the game.

Why does Great Stars do all that lmao It feels like a somber weapon that they couldnt figure out which boss to theme it after so they put all its stats on a boring weapon because one random dev was too attached to the stats to throw them away And then the weapon became even better because of infusion and L2 flexibility!!

While great stars is probably better than the great mace, I prefer the latter. It just looks more BONKy.

Where is the big bonks though? Where my club gang at?!

The greatsword at 1st place even though it's regular and heavy attacks don't do as much damage as a colossal or as much stance damage as a great hammer. It's so slow if you're not spamming crouch attack, the recovery is ridiculous. Colossal swords imo are a bad weapon class and people only use the greatsword because of berk memes, when it's completely outclassed by other colossals and greathammers.

Thank you for your content @Youwy. In case you are looking for more pierce damage with the rusted anchor, you can powerstance it with the pickaxe, with duplicated Royal Knight Resolve and raptor's black feather, claw talisman, spear talisman indeed, the build is so fun ! Thank for your work !

00:35 seconds in, calling it, Star Fist, Nagakiba and the Claymore are totally going to be on the list. WIsh me luck.

I find your lack of a greatsword on this list disturbing. At least one of Claymore or KGS deserves a top 10 spot

Can We talk about guardians swordspear is neither a sword or a spear

Guts would approve

Honorable mention to Great Mace. With flaming strike, that thing is a menace

Anyone know a good build to run with star fist ?

I find your lack of zweihander… concerning

iron greatsword deserved a spot i think...too much AR

Iron great sword with bleed. Ridiculous raw damage with bleed.

>Greatsword Please just make a Berserk game Miyazaki...

Greatsword with earthshaker and vacuum slice carried me through the whole game,no spells,no gimmicks,just raw warrior spirit,after all a crown is warranted by strength...

I’m gonna presume the Nightrider Glaive is #1 or #2 🙂

Best rl1 weapon tier list?

You have some sort of low volume whine or tone in the background and it really hurts my head, besides that, great videos. Do you maybe have a fan or your phone close to the microphone?

I believe in longsword supremacy.

Man, no love for the Straight Swords.

I really like the Warhawk Talon. Its my favourite straight sword. The charged heavy attack is very useful it comes out so fast. I think straight swords in general the have very versatile movesets 2 handed, 1 handed and powerstanced. They aren't the best at anything they just do everything well and have fast, versatile movesets.

I tought Greatmace deals the biggest stance dmg?

what does infuse weapon mean ?

Lmao what? The greatsword? Does he not know that the golems halberd has the same attack speed, straight up out damages it in strength, has less weight and more range? 😂

No Raptor Talons?

I expected to see Giant's crusher I mean it does get the highest dmg at one hit in the game and its even better in occult build surprisingly. Also, the gargoyle's twiblades is also very very strong and i expected to see it on the list too

>cs gets the best ps movese >saying that unironically when spears and straight swords exist

Noice

0:44 Only one man😢

Power stance bleed infused Great Stars. Thank me later.

Power stance cross naginata for the win. If you want Mohglesters spear levels of damage without falling asleep because the ash is the most boring thing in the game, go with this. Even single is god tier fun

the BUTS from Gerserk wins again...

When you showcase the weapon, could you mention your level or something? Like are you always lvl 150 or what

Balls

CLAYMORE ??????

17 minutes :3

Can anyone tell me what "powerstancing" is?

Why would you use the rusted anchor when you can use pickaxe instead? Weighs less and higher damage

I think the halberds moveset fucking sucks that’s why I’d replace the Nightrider glaive with the claymore but I’d put it at 10

Curved sword users 👇

So many S tier weapons...how tier lists originally were and what they are now are so distorted. S tier is supposed to be the broken/near broken/OP tier. Not just best in game, that's A tier. S is reserved for those things that are clearly ahead of everything else and should be the least populated as it should only apply to a handful, or less of weapons, characters etc.

Youwy do you have a gyat

Nr 1 is just wrong. No matter what level or infusion, the Watchdogs Greatsword does more damage.

Me like

The greatsword top 1 is based. All that I ever need is a huge ass rail to spank every kind of enemy. Give me one in any game and I will be happy😊

First?

Nagakiba is overrated. Gucci uchi better

Let me fix this 1: Star fists heavy attack build (you had it at 2) 2: Any straight sword with square off

Hey, we do not know each other but I would like to tell u that despite all the bad that you have done in your life, GOD still loves you and wants you to be with him (GOD), all yoi must do is to trust in Jesus like how u would trust in parachute when jumping out of a plane and you must be willing to turn from your wrong doings and do what is right🎉😊😊😊
