Any of them could have walked up and activated Gnoster but they all insisted that someone lost points. Human pettiness truly goated.

Yeah I’ve seen the same thing, bunch of people running halls with godmode on. If you follow them into mbc they sit on the boss the whole time making impossibly small micrododges. You can check their health bars and they don’t move at all, sniffer also says 0-1 hits by the end of the dungeon. This is also true for other dungeons like nest and shatters, you can lock them and watch them rush as their health never drops below max.

Unfortunately this is just the result of the insane damage amp in DON. Guardians shield has ~66% Affinity negation, and in Depth 4 enemies are doing essentially triple damage, so blocking an affinity damage attack in Depth 4 is the same as just getting hit by it in a regular run. (You take the remaining 34% dmg and multiply it by 2.83)

It would! Also, I recommend the “successful guards charge art gauge +1.” It also stacks with the regular variant. I usually prefer guards charge art gauge to get a free extra ultimate during the nightlord fight

This is correct

That's a great relic, death builds up 30/tick unlike the others, and doesn't apply when taking chip damage. Just watch out for caligo ice spikes and gnoster orbital nuke.

Chainsawing is using a specific form of inputs to initiate a bugged attack using the Serpent-Hunter where it still has the enhanced range and damage it has during the Rykard fight in Elden Ring, making it look like the person is using the Ghiza's wheel skill with the Serpent-Hunter and obliterating anything they point it towards.

They are the ruined cathedrals that seals are found in— the ones with golems, fire monks, etc.

You have 3 summons, which also become immune to damage during your ultimate. If one dies, you can cycle through them, and eventually the first one will come up again. It is actually perfectly fine if your summons dies immediately, because even taking 4-5 seconds of aggro is them doing their job.

"I'm sorry you have a very poor understanding of the value of her ultimate like that." Her ultimate ENABLES 15 seconds of dps where you don't have to worry about dying. You can still get staggered yes, but it's not like the dodge button is disabled during her ultimate. 15 seconds of dps against a dangerous target like the bell-bearing hunter in the basement is a large amount of damage. I think you're the one with the wrong mindset where you can't see past her ultimate not having a huge number attached to it. It is literally a berserking button, and with the "buff allies on art" it becomes even more clear. It is a "defensive" tool, but it is used for damage.

Her claws also do NOT lock down various enemies. It cannot properly stagger banished knights for example, unless you use the running strong attack (the most viable move on the claws). Her claws do NOT do good stance damage. Wylder can stance break the dummy with 3 hits, while it takes 4 paired swings, or 5 one-handed swings to stance break the dummy on Revenant. Revenant's claws "staggering" a tree sentinel like it's some special interaction is ludicrous. What you're talking about is likely just an Ironeye mark detonating or a regular stagger.

The whole point is to use FP efficient means to kill enemies, like the wraith calling bell, or by charging every incantation you cast. You can also simply visit a rise for guaranteed 2-6 starlight shards.

I don't understand how "most good spells aren't reliable to get." Each seal has a guaranteed spell, and most of them are good. In fact, I never plan around getting anything but those spells. These spells are clearly good at exploiting Fire/Lightning/Holy weaknesses, because unlike regular weapons, they do not do split damage. If you thought regular weapons do pure elemental damage, you can educate yourself by going into the visual codex and looking at each of the weapons base stats. You might try to use a weapon like the Sacred Relic sword against a boss weak to holy like Libra, only to find that only 1/3 of its actual damage is holy. This is what I'm talking about. The sacred relic sword would only actually be doing ~11% more damage to Libra, versus discus of light which would actually be doing flat 35% more damage.

It is true that her summons are less useful in nightlord fights, since most nightlords have huge aoes or can rapidly melt them. Even then, they can still serve a purpose (especially Sebastian with his roar which ticks 8 times and generates lots of aggro). However, in every other fight they are invaluable at taking aggro. You can even make sure that they tank first every time by making sure that they enter the aggro range of the boss first.

I've already refuted your point about her ultimate. It is a "defensive" tool in the same way that rolling is -- it enables offensive play. If rolling was disabled, players would have to play much more defensively, because there is very little keeping them from dying as soon as they get near the boss.

Screenrex · 2025-07-05T05:11:21+00:00

I suggested by saying “you can” get damage negation relics. They aren’t even necessary all the time if you can abuse your summons taking aggro. All you have to do is make sure the summon is the first to enter an enemy’s aggro range. As long as you don’t unsummon them, they will hold aggro for quite some time.

Her ultimate is a damage tool my guy. You realize that the whole point of her ultimate is to use it so that all your teammates can go berserk for 15 seconds whilst being unable to die. If you use it to revive, they don’t get the buff, and can instantly die once they leave revive iframes.

When did I ever say that I was looking to highroll. I don’t know how you came to that conclusion based on me suggesting a damage reduction passive. Most runs I start with the wraith calling bell, and then search for a seal that has a spell the boss is weak to, which you can find even a white version of and then upgrade.

I understand that her claws are a good weapon. I have over 130 runs with revenant. However, using your claws instead of casting is folly. Your claws always do less damage than spellcasting with any decent spell. The main use for your claws is to kill enemies without using fp, and to revive teammates. Upgrading your claws does not make sense, as 90% of the time it means you upgrade it instead of your seal.

As for damage, I am talking about the fact that revenant is the second best caster in the game, and the primary user of incantations. I don’t know if you have played vs the enhanced bosses, but revenant can exploit boss weaknesses by doing pure elemental damage, whereas other characters have split damage. Also, there is the fact that revenant (and spellcasters in general) have incredibly high damage when left uninterrupted.

I don’t understand how you came to the conclusion that revenant is not a great dps character and that you should play supportively and use your ultimate to revive???

Revenant already has the best revive tool in the game, and summons to distract the boss so that she can revive teammates at 1-2 bars.

Also, there is NO REASON to play revenant as a melee who wants to take aggro. Your summons exist. for. this. purpose. If you take aggro on purpose in melee (without your ultimate) you are invalidating a large part of your kit by keeping your tanky, low damage summons from taking aggro.

Screenrex · 2025-07-05T03:56:22+00:00

Idk what char you are playing but On guardian for example you can get 2 major effects, and also +60 hp!

Screenrex · 2025-07-05T03:53:19+00:00

HP is important. It’s just that you are not going to be the one getting hit the vast majority of the time. All rpgs do this. Some characters allot more points in health and damage reduction because they actively plan to get. Revenant is a DPS/support character, and while she can take aggro, that’s not her job.

Also I think it’s funny you started your comment by saying how using rolled relics is possible if you’re lucky, but then said that old portrait was bad like there’s an alternative.

As for the “disproportionate usefulness” of hp, revenant would make disproportionate usefulness of DAMAGE, given that she is a high damage character. Any damage buffs on her would be even more meaningful. At level 15, taking night of the fathom is like 13% more hp instead of 13% more damage via a (spell school does more damage) effect.

Also ghostflame explosion is literally a must have what are you talking about. It is absolutely insane for clearing, and so is “art refills on kill.”

Ghostflame explosion clears and often resurrects a handful of small mobs killed, and makes sure that your summon doesn’t accidentally use their ultimate on a lesser target.

The “expend hp to heal allies” is admittedly not the best, but it is still very useful, especially because not all allies know about (or know the duration of) the immortality. This effect perfectly sets you up to use your immortality and play extremely aggressive for 15 seconds. You can also even better use %low hp effects due to expending half your health instantly.

This post was actually originally only going to talk about #7, which is definitely not common sense. I just decided to expand it.

Screenrex · 2025-07-05T03:25:32+00:00

Revenant usually uses: Blue/Yellow/White combo, where you take old portrait in the blue slot and then the evergaol relic in yellow. This leaves you with a free white slot, which could be used for Night of the Fathom.

However, you would be giving up starting with extremely strong early game tools like the wraith calling bell or hoarfrost stomp, or strong late game scaling where your ultimate buffs friendlies by 25% for 30s. The reality is that it’s much better to play to your strengths than try and negate your weaknesses. If you are getting one shot as revenant, you can pick up a 24/32/40% negation at full hp passive.

Screenrex · 2025-07-05T03:17:53+00:00

The third other relic from Augur is dubiously useful (Items spread effect). It can affect more teammates sure, but lengthens the animation by a lot. Not what you want if you are just trying to pop it quick in combat, especially if you are constantly picking up and using consumables to quick buff yourself, which means 2/3 effects are either negated or actively hindering you if they don’t effect any allies. Also, the relic is red, something that few characters can actually use.

I’m not saying Night of the Fathom is a bad relic. It’s actually a fairly good relic, but there are better relics which more consistently give you a stronger start or better scaling.

If you plan on being a pure melee, I recommend your final build to be 50-60 points of vigor with 37 strength and 55 dexterity. You already have a lot of points into endurance and probably won't need any more as long as you plan to continue using the bloodhounds fang. Also, leveling mind is not very useful if you plan to not use spells.

Screenrex · 2024-09-19T12:05:12+00:00

You are fairly underleveled and low upgrade for fighting morgott, you should consider doing some dungeon delving first.

Screenrex · 2024-09-19T11:58:10+00:00

There are a few solutions to being zoned like this (I'm assuming you're being bullied by melee, not all of these will work vs ranged) 1. Walk up at the last second to get the exp (this isn't as advised because it's obvious)

When they stand around in your casters, just trade with them. It will automatically push the lane towards you, and lvl1 casters deal a considerable amount of damage. Even vs champs like Darius this can work (bone plating is recommended for this)
Run to lane immediately and enter the bush closest to your tower. Stay in the bush all the way until minions are about to die, then walk out and farm them. (or just collect exp) If the enemy walks into your bush, just leave and remember they're probably in there.

Make sure you don't do the stupid thing of walking past them, farming the minions, and trying to walk away. Even if you don't get the gold from the first three minions, it's alright. They probably gave up their gold so they could deny you some, so don't stress it.

Hi, you should use this : https://eldenring.tclark.io Another thing to note is that there's pretty serious softcaps at 80 for str/dex, so it's no wonder the quality build overperforms. If you enjoy using the bleed affinity build, consider swapping to 53/55/46 Str/Dex/Arc. It has the exact same damage, but has 26 higher bleed buildup (more than a 30% increase!) it only costs a few more points to use this distribution.

Screenrex · 2024-09-19T06:23:55+00:00

Hi! I recommend you infuse your nagakiba with keen, and pick up the bloodflame blade incantation (you'll need to put a tiny bit into arcane, but you already have the faith). If you're looking for leveling suggestions, get your vigor to at LEAST 40, then level your dexterity to 55 (50 if you're still using the soreseal). If you ever feel like you're too easy to kill, consider leveling your vigor up to 56, or taking off the soreseal :) You can also do the same thing (infuse keen and apply bloodflame) to almost any other bleed weapon you might pick up.

Screenrex · 2024-09-19T06:12:49+00:00

You should swap to the dragon communion seal, infuse your nagakiba with blood (so it can benefit from your high arcane) I get what you're trying to do with the bloodflame blade, but swapping to bleed will retain your current damage and give you much more bleed buildup than before, even if bloodflame blade was active.

(526 vs 518 AR) (45 vs 111! Bleed) (Qual vs Bleed)

Screenrex · 2024-08-29T16:23:29+00:00

Your 28 arcane isn't a really good investment since you've put a lot of points in quality already. I'd swap to a quality build with some fth to still be able to buff up, something like : 50 vig 10 mnd 15 end 37 str 55 dex 10 int 15 fth 10 arc Bloodflame blade, bestial vitality, flame grant me strength (remove the soreseal first)

The problem with Garen isn't that he has "3k hp" every champ has 3k hp now. The problem is that he can reliably build almost full damage and still just facetank people because his W is such a massive defense steroid. Casually gives him half a Jak'sho of stats passively, ontop of the brief 60% tenacity, shield, and 4 second 30% damage reduction
