Ash of War: Quickstep | Elden Ring Wiki

effectively god mode on high lat

Submit

As flashy as the quickstep backstabs are, they are needlessly punishing for already underpowered weapons like colossal weapons

Submit

You use this to spam through attacks because you don't know how to dodge. I use this to go through poop water. We are not the same.

Submit

Just a tip, curved sword r1s will completely shut a quickstep spammer down as the curved blade reaches around to your sides to hit them right as they come out of I-frames.

Submit

the ash is undoubtedly cancer, but quickstep on the giantcrusher was a ton of fun in the arenas

Submit

When you realize the quickstep nerfs are actually buffs. Murky monkeys wish they had this version of quickstep in ds3.

Submit

Yes, this has slightly more i-frames & slightly less recovery than a mid roll, but most importantly (and it isn't stated on the wiki), while mid roll has 1 or 2 startup frames with no invincibility, Quickstep does not! It has i-frames immediately on startup! (1.08.1)

Just had a 2+ minute duel where (literally) all the other guy did was quickstep rapier thrust. Took my time, waited for opportunities, but didn't manage to land a single hit throughout the whole thing. One quickstep even ran him right through a full charged flame of frenzy so he could stab me in the chest. Regardless of peoples positions on if its ultimately 'fair" or not, its on a unique tier of hyper-strong universally applicable ashes (bloodhound, wind slash, honed bolt, etc.) that really hampers build creativity and homogenizes pvp to a point where sometimes I really don't even want to engage with it. Hoping for some really focused pvp patches in the future.

Submit

Making this and bloodhounds available only for daggers, fists, claws and whips would solve a lot of problems and helps those weapons with limited AoW that really need it out immensly.

Submit

if using this to move through 'slowdown' water quickly, note that if you don't meet the requirements for the weapon then it won't consume any fp but you still get the movement

Submit

Quickstep or BHS on a Rapier is busted and makes PvP even more unbearable than bleed builds.

Submit

It’s telling that collosal crouch pokers/shield pokers all became clean rot, quickstep pokers after the recent patch. The i frames aren’t really the issue, the skipped attack recoveries are the issue. Recoveries are an important part of the game and skipping them with L2 was cheese in ds3 and even worse now. Especially since the recent “nerf” actually buffs bhs/quicksteps ability to pressure.

Submit

using this to setup crouch and backstep attacks with colossal weapons ALMOST makes them viable for pvp

Submit

dont let anyone shame you for using this. its their failure not to adapt

Submit

Way too oppressive on light roll

Submit

There was a reason DS3 had this on some very, very, very SPECIFIC weapons only. Now I can Quickstep with my shield, or a large weapon. Hilarious, but the game has enough bullshit PVE moments that I don't feel bad for doing this. PVP though, that's just cruel.

Submit

Quickstep is almost as bad as Bhs. There’s a reason it’s useless on small, rogue weapons but most used on trade hitting weapons with thrust or status. Quickstep ends the recovery of attacks early which means you can trade hit someone and take no damage due to mild latency.


Thus, small weapons with barely existent recoveries receive little benefit... but big weapons do. This allows you to miss/trade with big weapons that are specifically balanced by having those recoveries.


And never mind recoveries, you are still practically invincible as long as you have fp. Roll spam is punishable but quickstep spam is tough to punish, dangerous to punish if they are set up to trade with thrust/status and you can literally run out of stamina swinging while they quickstep around in full bull goat and guts great sword.


This should not have been an ash, but a roll option for Crucible feather talisman if you’re on light load. Still cheese but gets balanced out by damage penalties at least.

Submit

This + Rapier poke = You can’t die and you will win every PvP encounter. No skill it needs a nerf same as BHS. Both are low-skill crutches.

Submit

Shootout to everyone who uses this over bloodhound step

Submit

Actually really dang good on short ranged weapons like fists and claws (unsurprisingly, it's on most of the claws) and it doesn't repel maidens like Bloodhound Step does. Rather than spacing to get hits and avoid hits, you play a game of gluing yourself to them and exploiting windows between attacks. I recommend packing some fan knives and using them generously if you do this so you can soften up enemy poise.

Submit

While both this and BHS are good defensive movement AoWs, in PvE I find I can be much more aggressive with Quickstep. It's far easier to stay in range for aggressive hit & run, especially if you pair it with a fast moveset that advances you forward a lot. If you struggle to effectively use backstep attacks like I do, this may be a great solution. Personally I love this on powerstanced Warhawk Talons. Straight sword R1s advance quite a lot on each swing, and the Talon has a unique fast lunging R2 double slash that covers a surprising distance (more if you charge it). If I Quickstep to the side and back, and I'm just in range, an L1 for the running double poke. If I'm out of range for an L1 I can almost always safely charge an R2 and connect with the second hit at least. If enemies like to constantly move closer, I've found I can often Quickstep straight back, charge an R2, and connect a hit when the R1 or L1 would not have.
Also worth noting, there are iframe analysis videos showing that you do in fact still get iframes without fp (10 iframes at 60fps for both Quickstep and BHS). Quickstep (and BHS) take a little longer to recover from than a light/medium roll, so that's worth keeping in mind as well! When dodging sideways, I believe that rolling only goes in a straight line, but Quickstep will curve around what you are locked on to. You can even steer it a bit while in the animation, but you have to be quick!

Submit

Once BHS step gets nerfed then this should also get a nerf as the BHS users would just flock to this instead.

Submit

Using this with powerstanced GSs gives you access to their super good Backstep Double Poke attack. Quickstep backwards when dodging a jump attack and you can poke them for super high dmg.

Submit

"When R1 is pressed after using this skill sideways or backwards, it will perform a Backstep attack. Bloodhound's step does not have this feature."

This is false. BHS has the exact same feature.

Submit

Don't go "oh, it's so overpowered on greatswords!" because don't forget that they've got to recover after attacking.

Submit

Yea, I'm gonna be honest. While I haven't encountered it yet because the game is still young, when the meta ripens I have a feeling that laggy backstabs from Greathammers will dominate the Lands Between.

Submit

This is the more fair version of bloodhound step but it's still really strong.

Submit

This move goes further than DS3 by allowing you to have rolling moves on forward and backward Quicksteps, and sideways Quicksteps (while locked) grant you your backdash attack, further expanding your moveset. This is a feature Bloodhound Step DOES NOT have.

Submit

Who the f decided that putting that weapon art on large variety of weapons while it was already op broken on daggers in ds3

Submit

Op In PVP

Submit

It uses fp, but i can still quickstep without fp. Using it with no fp, does it have less invincibility frames? Or maybe it uses a bunch of stamina instead?

Submit

Does this skill include invincibility frames?

Submit

I thought this would put you behind the enemy, since that’s literally what the description says. But it’s basically just an extremely low cost Bloodborne dash-dodge. Probably useful if you either have a high stamina consumption weapon or fat rolls.

Submit

Quickstepping with a large weapon is absolutely hilarious. Bless this game lol

Submit

This art makes Godrick a pushover.

If you want to re-live Bloodborne through Elden Ring.

Oh boi oh boi quickstep on every ****ing melee, less gooo
