Elden Ring Ash of War: Prelate's Charge Notes & Tips

  • This skill costs 7 FP to start the charge and then 7 FP continuously to keep charging
  • When infused into a weapon like the Great Stars, HP can be recovered per hit (which is potentially a lot)
    • Using the spell Bloodflame Blade, HP can not only be recovered from the leftover flames on the ground damaging targets, but it also causes Bleed buildup on top of what is already being dealt by the AoW hitting the target with the weapon itself, making it a deadly option against bosses like Malenia, Blade of Miquella and most humanoid enemies

      why do we only get two flame art skills and this is one of them?
      if you are a pyro there's a good chance you can't even use the weapon type required for this, like yeah just use a normal skill but since it gives the flame art affinity it nets the most damage (at least it's supposed to).
      Maybe we'll get more in the dlc :(

        For a good time with Malenia, throw this on a weapon with one of the normal affinities (heavy for example), and Bloodflame Blade. Take her for a ride around the arena, show her the sights, and potentially proc hemorrhage 3 times before your endurance or FP runs out. May not be the most effective way to kill her, but damn if it isn't fun.

          Maybe I'm not building around it properly, but this seems to be a strong contender for the single weakest ash of war in the entire game.

            Put this bad boy on Great Star and heal up when you have Rot while farming souls the hard way in The Haligtree (From Royal Revanants and Crystalians

              Why put this on Great Stars and use bloodflame when you could put it on Great Stars with Frost buildup and buildup 2 elements that's shred hp instead of what blood and fire? Nah

              • Anonymous

                This is a very sad day, but I have discovered that at some point the bloodflame/blackflame applying from the fire left on the ground has been patched. The weapon itself still applys them as you charge so it's still good but it certainly affected the status buildup on larger targets.

                I will state this is just from me testing on some mobs since I don't have friends but with over 10-15 ticks of the ground fire the bleed never procced on an enemy I know is succeptible to it (Big ass lion).

                I don't know how to edit thingys so could someone update the notes and tips with this info? It still claims the ground fire applies the status effects.

                  Does not apply on hit effects, like bleed or sleep.

                  But it does proc Great Stars healing effect and Winged insignia.

                    If you do pure strength, is this worth using with the heavy infusion? I keep reading portions of the attack scale off faith even if you infuse the weapon to have no faith scaling.

                      actually a quite good AoW for PvP, when used properly.
                      when paired with bleed weapons, it's very helpful for increasing the bleed buildup with the charge, plus it leaves flame trails behind, so even if the first slam doesn't connect, you can still turn around and get some space while burning any enemies that walk on the flames.
                      the second upward slam also gives good opportunities for follow up attacks. it's always fun watching people flying up in the air just to get blasted away by AoE attacks like Greyoll's roar on recovery.

                        so, a fun fact - it seem sthat if you kill an erdtree avatar with this (dunno if it's the flame or the actual hit, or just while it's active on fire, etc)... it doesn't stop burning after it dies. You can just hear neverending fire

                                  • Slapped this immediately back on the inferno crozier and made it heavy. I can’t bring myself to use anything else on that hammer. This skill just fits it too perfectly.

                                          This is amazing on Great Stars. I have consistently killed stat hackers with over 350k HP by making it quality, buffing with bloodflame blade and using shard of alexander, carian filigreed crest, lord of blood's exultation and rotten winged sword insignia. It staggers, applies bleed and heals you for every hit it lands. Amazing ash of war.

                                            All the comments here say to use this with Bloodflame Blade, but it doesn't seem to work - at least not any more. I have Great Stars with this Ash. I meet all the requirements to cast Bloodflame Blade. But the spell stays darkened out on my spell bar and just makes the confused gesture when I try to cast it.

                                                                The skill does not apply auxiliary effects, put it on great stars and chuchu Thomased some knights in Haligree tree, does not apply bleed. I could be wrong though, gonna test it on rotten battle hammer next.

More or less buying your cooperators time for a breather in the middle of a fight.

                                                                  It’s quite hilarious to watch someone bulldoze Melania Blade of Miquella all around her arena with this. It might be even possible to stunlock her the entire fight if three people went in with this equipped.
