Ash of War: Barbaric Roar | Elden Ring Wiki

The more I use this, the more I like it. It's pretty good but not broken, because you will still take a good chunk of dmg while trading but thats more fun than running and only punishing whiffed attacks, or pvp cheese.
This thing is my go-to, anti-cheese in pvp because a lot of people are dumb and just use strong builds without ever caring to learn the fundamentals.
Oh you have to fight a crouch poke slug? no problem just face tank it and watch the colossal user run. oh someone is mashing r1 with a HTS? face tank it and teach them a lesson. Halberd user spamming running attacks? face tank it and watch their sanity crumble after the 4th time. Cold/Bleed build? roll the proc, activate hyper armor, and remove their last braincell temporarily.
This is one of the better Build Gap/Bull-**** closers. If they are bad but with a good set-up, you wont have too many problems anymore because you have a "oh so you like abusing things huh? what about this?" option.
Also, if you trade with someone right, most of the time they will panic because of the massive hyper armor/dmg, so you can be aggressive and try to go for some roll catches, or... another heavy to trade with if you think they are going to try and push back, but that's a little mean.
This thing isn't flawless though, if you spam the heavies againt an actually decent player, you are gonna get out spaced sooo bad. (and jumping attacks from bigger weapons tend to knock you out too)
But in that case that means you can actually have fun anyway, unless they are one of those "I'm going to run away until you attack, for the entire match and nothing else" players. Though there are ways around the passive players like (standing still lmao), purposefully creating an opening and baiting them into the heavy, cause they thought it was safe.
All in all, an excellent Ash, the damage is good, and it actually allows smaller weapons to be aggressive against bigger weapons in neutral with it's hyper armor.
Sometimes, you just need hyper armor for certain opponents (especially for latency and packet loss). Be careful though, some poeple don't respect the art of the trade, and decide to try a different weapon when they've almost lost (usually doesn't change anything). I've finished someone off with a volcano pot before, because they needed to take out a heavy thrusing sword, and walked straight into the cloud. Man the irony in that, trying to win so bad that you end up being your own demise.
Thank you all for any and all likes/dislikes, have a good one.

Good hyper-armor and makes your heavy attacks look super cool with the combos, though it never sat right with me that the DPS is worse than the heavy attacks of Warcry/Braggart's Roar, and that it locks you into a 5 second long animation that can't be canceled in case you have to dodge roll away since it is very easy to punish. Still decent in PvE especially if your weapon has a status effect, but good luck ever landing this in PvP and not getting punished

Is this considered a body buff?

Barbaric Roar is what you do when you bang your little toe into a corner of a hard object by accident

Submit

This does not work with daggers or rapiers, I know this because I have it and its not on the list.

Submit

insane on a bunch of different weapons, twinblades, hammers, fists, claws, axes, katanas, you name it

Submit

This is a really good ash of war, since if you have a physic with charged tear and successive hits tear, it works with both. fat damage. i did the follow up heavy on an albinauric in moghwyn palace and it did 4000 ****ing damage

Submit

Looks super cool on fist and claw weapons.

Submit

I wish when you use colossal weapons the 3th bash hits

Submit

Anyone else lose barbaric roar? I definitely had it and now I don't. Maybe lost with an update to fix a questline?

Submit

Stamp Sweep version of Warcry imo. Same attack buff, R2 combos have poise and look flashy sure but they deal noticeably less damage and stance-breaking potential

Submit

So theoretically, could you stack Barbaric Roar with Roar Talisman, Godfrey Icon, Axe Talisman, and Shard of Alexander?

Submit

Crazy that it would take so long to get this ash.

Wanna be hulk for the day?

With this Strong attack on spears looks hilarious

UNGA BUNGA ANGY

I dont know about the other weapon heavy attack moveset but the Axes heavy moveset makes you have hyper armor of sorts, and on enemies you normally cant stagger you can now stagger them while using the combo. Not all unstaggerable enemies though, just the ones you normally cant stagger without relying on heavy stance breaking weapons.

Submit

Anyone feel like this isn't that strong?

Submit

Will the Mantis Blade extend if i use this?

Submit

The R2s look stupid with the lance lmao

Submit

Does the colossal weapon attack speed/recovery time buffs affect the roar's strong attacks?

Submit

Try with twinblades. Hilariously fast and long-reaching.

Submit

Claymore + Barbaric Roar = Gael Phase 1 one handed sword moveset

Submit

Warcry turns your heavy attacks into running charges. Barbaric roar turns your attacks into wild swinging attacks. Both get boosed by roar boosting effects and charge attack boosting effects. Braggart's roar simply gives a damage and defense buff, and attracts enemy aggro over other attackers of the same target (Spirit ashes not included).

Submit

Does this buff stack with any other warcry or buff like that? Like could I use a buff switch weapons use this buff and have 2?

Submit

Seems to only give damage buff to the weapon its used from, so doesn't work well for dual-wielding.

Submit

Also effected by roar talisman.

Submit

yes its a charge attack went from a 1352 combo to a 1485 for me

Submit

Does this count as a charge attack
