KhrazeGaming recently released a video showcasing the top 15 most overpowered weapons in the Elden Ring DLC, titled ‘Top 15 Most Overpowered NEW Weapons in Shadow of the Erdtree’. In the video, KhrazeGaming focuses on non-boss remembrance weapons that are easily obtainable and have powerful move sets and weapon skills. Here are the key takeaways from the video:
- The Great Sword of Solitude is a heavy great sword with a fast move set and a versatile skill called Solitary Moon Slash. It also has high physical damage negation and guard boost.
- The Claw of Night is a pure Dexterity scaling weapon with a high bleed buildup. Its scatter shot throw skill triggers bleed buildup frequently and deals good damage at range.
- The Death Knight Great Ax and Death Knight Twin Ax have the Blink Bolt ability, which provides free i-frames and deals strong damage. The Death Knight Great Ax has hyper armor, while the Twin Ax has very little, making it easy to interrupt.
- The Black Steel Great Hammer is a versatile option that deals bonus damage when imbued with holy damage. It has a unique guard counter that unleashes a holy wave and explosion at the enemy’s feet.
Great Sword of Solitude: A Powerful and Versatile Weapon
The Great Sword of Solitude is one of the standout weapons in the Elden Ring DLC. Despite its heavy weight, it has a surprisingly fast move set. Its skill, Solitary Moon Slash, is versatile and allows for both projectile and heavy follow-up attacks. The initial damage of the projectile may not be the highest, but the heavy follow-up attack deals significant damage. This weapon is especially effective against shield enemies, thanks to its spin swipe hit animation that knocks out enemies through their shields. Additionally, it has high physical damage negation and guard boost, making it a formidable weapon and shield combo.
Claw of Night: A Bleed-Inducing Machine
The Claw of Night is a pure Dexterity scaling weapon that excels at inflicting bleed buildup on enemies. Despite having a lower bleed buildup, its scatter shot throw skill triggers bleed buildup almost every other shot. This is due to its shotgun-like effect hit that pierces through enemies and deals good damage at range. The weapon also benefits from the Smithing Talisman, which boosts its damage as a thrown weapon. Its charged heavy attack can be backstabbed without interrupting the hit, providing strategic options in combat.
Death Knight Great Ax and Death Knight Twin Ax: Powerful Axes with Blink Bolt
The Death Knight Great Ax and Death Knight Twin Ax are two powerful axes that share similar functionality. Both weapons have the Blink Bolt ability, which allows for quick and far-reaching attacks. The Blink Bolt provides free i-frames and deals substantial damage. However, the Death Knight Great Ax has hyper armor, making it more resistant to interruption, while the Death Knight Twin Ax has very little hyper armor, making it easier to interrupt. These axes are well-suited for Dex and Faith builds, providing a fun and powerful gameplay experience.
Black Steel Great Hammer: A Versatile and Staggering Weapon
The Black Steel Great Hammer is a versatile weapon that deals bonus damage when infused with holy damage. It has a unique guard counter that unleashes a holy wave followed by a quick explosion at the enemy’s feet. This weapon excels at stunning enemies and has great stagger damage. Its lion’s claw counterpart is a suitable pairing, as it has high stance damage and functions as a shield with good physical negation. Combining the Black Steel Great Hammer with a deflecting tier further enhances its guard countering capabilities.
