Braggart's Roar | Elden Ring Wiki

Look like an awesome buff for my big bonk. Still never gonna use this, can't kill my man Boggart

Submit

It's a juiced up version of War Cry. Just goes great with bonk builds

Submit

Can't wait to try this on an Omen Cleaver, I personally don't enjoy that 2HR2 on it.

Submit

Actually mega-based for purely STR playthroughs. What Great Hammer enjoyer wouldn't want 10% attack power, negation, and stamina regeneration in one package?

On an even more extravagant note, the R2 animation crouches your character so low that a lot basic swing attacks simply go over them. The running part of the attack also seems to get wicked hyper-armor (except against those huge "slam" attacks for larger enemies). As long as you commit to the R2, that hit WILL land and it WILL take a chunk health off.

Want to like the roar abilities but you need to build around them too much.

Offhand a caestus with this on it for easy access to a very good buff and bonus fashion points.

My question is what does this skill look like with highlander axe and roar medallion? How does it affect the buffs and duration?

Submit

“The Negation multiplies all incoming damage by 0.9x.”
Before or after all resistances (dmg negations)?

Submit

Wanna feel like an elden ring boss? And by that I mean more defences, almost infinite stamina and uninterruptable delayed attacks? Well, I have a skill for ya

Submit

One of the most ways to play. It turns charged attacks into an overhead slam that pancakes enemies for big weapons like colossals. Highly recommend :)

Submit

what's amazing about this Ash is that all 3 boosts (damage, defense, stamina) fall under the category of weapon buff, which means you have to keep the buffed weapon equipped for the buffs to stay active, but it also means that these bonuses stack with other temporary body, aura, and stamina regen buffs instead of overriding them.

Submit

In other words, this buff is the same as 3 talismans. Sold

Submit

How have I not been using this yet? It’s so good!

Submit

So if I'm reading this correctly i can't use greases with this active right?

Submit

this on the prelate hammer's made my day, s-tier l2 on an s-tier weapon with good poise, savage looking charge attacks and damage so high it might as well uninstall the game for your opponent if they get hit by it

Submit

even with both stacking, in general I like it use it with an executioner axe, great damage and enemies don't expect you to absolutely face tank everything thrown at you, thing is I have like 47 strength and with my current build a full heavy is like 1,2k, it's crazy how no one uses this

Submit

so who is braggart

Submit

Tested earlier today:
I take 242 from an albinauric attack
With 1 braggart's roar active, I take 218
With 2 braggart's roars active (activate LH first, then RH) I take 196
With both active and Golden Vow (spell), I take 176

About a 28% damage decrease overall. So it seems like they stack, and the endurance regen you get from having both active is nuts.

Submit

This is one of the few defense buffs that are still unchanged in PvP as of Patch 1.10.0. 10% defense still applies, but hyper armor trading now adds a minor defense buff too. Not sure by how much, the 10% difference was an exact value (290 before, 261 after) but the hyper armor trade was 7.554% (278 no trade, 257 trade). We’re in a new meta, fellas.

Submit

Excellent with two colossal greatswords. Put this on both of them for double the defense and stamina regen +10% more damage.

The buffs effectively save you two talisman slots that'd otherwise best be saved for the green turtle and dragoncrest greatshield talismans! Nothing stopping you or me from doubling up on both those effects for even more of a buff.

Two hand the weapon on your left first then activate the ash of war. Then without letting go of it from your character's left hand use the ash of war again, after going back to having a weapon in both hands.

Submit

Using this on a colossal sword is so much fun. Whiff an r1 to bait out an attack, trade with an r2, use your hyper armor to combo into an r1 for free & if you have enough stamina left punish their panic backroll to win the match. This AoW has spoiled me. Even in PvE it's great!

Submit

I don’t know who did the testing of dual wield braggarts roar, but they must have done it wrong. The stamina regen and damage negation DOES STACK. You can get +~40% stamina regen, and 19% reduced damage taken with dual braggarts roar. 2-hand the left-hand weapon, roar, dual wield, roar. If you ever have the weapon sheathed or on your back, the buff goes away. I’m assuming this is where the testing went wrong.
And for those wondering, yes, it’s very powerful in PVP.

Submit

It would seem the 10% defense buff doesn’t show up in your damage absorptions list, however, the buff itself still applies. What that means is that this buff is a flat 10% defense increase that can be stacked with other defenses and potentially not suffer from diminishing returns. I’ll have to test it out a bit more to be certain.

Submit

This doesn’t visibly change damage negation in any way. Is it broken, or is the buff just not visible on the negation/absorption screen?

Submit

If you're using this on a halberd or great spear (the best weapon classes for this imo), use the spear talisman alongside all the charge attack and roar buffs, as the small hitboxes from the jump of the charge attack aren't gonna stagger most bosses so you'll get lot's of counterattacks in pve. The damage gets ABSURD with how much you can stack with roar buffs.

Submit

GOATed AoW. Easily one of the best in the game especially on larger weapons

Submit

Tested this, and I don't receive the buffs for damage or attack level. Dunno if it's just me. Stamina regen works fine

Submit

Poised through moonveil heavy with fully charged heavy on sword spear and hit the guy for 1650

Submit

Man im just tryna figure out what this status multiplier is

Submit

Putting this on a weapon you can't use effectively with one hand allows you to use it for 0 fp. You still get the buff. I have 24 str, 50 ar 50dex. I put it in a duelest axe bc it has enhanced charged attacks as of 1.09, making use of that + the status buff to charged attacks fr9m thus aow, simply 2 handing it allows for effective use & free constant braggarts roar buff

Submit

Whats this i hear about a status multiplier??

Submit

The Roar medallion and Highland axe only effect the Charged R2 does not have any impact on other attacks

Submit

Does anyone have specfics to add to the page on the status multiplier? Im sure some fellow arc builds will appreciate the info...

Submit

LOVE this Ash. Combined with Roar Medallion and Axe Talisman your charged heavy attacks just do insane damage.

Submit

As of 1.09 does this still increase status buildup on fully charged attacks?

Submit

i really wanted to use it on blood executioners greataxe but the blood Greatsword slaps!

Submit

Can someone test if applying braggarts roar on both weapons stacks the 10%damage negation? I tested it a while back and my conclusion was that they stack but I now see the wiki page has been updated and it says that it doesnt stack.
Help?

Submit

Two questions: one, is the insane status buildup from using Braggar's Roar-buffed charged attacks a glitch, and two, was it patched in 1.09? I'll probably end up testing later but it seems like the kind of thing that would be fixed in a patch.

Submit

Not sure if its been noted before but a fully charged roar heavy attack increases the amount of status caused from a weapon hit. I can instantly bleed the giant in Stormveil with a charged roar attack but cannot with a normal charged heavy. 54/50 Str/Arc, Executioner's Blood Axe +25 (134 blood loss)

Submit

Roar skill are count as weapon buff, so you can stack it with everything that's not another weapon buff

Submit

Just finished some testing and it looks like Highland Axe and Roar Medallion have no effect on this AoW's damage reduction, stamina enhancement, or even 10% damage boost to any attack other than the charged two handed attacks. For example, I'm power stancing (using the unique moveset of two identical weapons) long swords, and the attacks in the power stance aren't impacted at all by the medallion or the Highland Axe. But if I two hand a single long sword and strong/charge attack an enemy, there is a noticeable damage boost.

I still think it's a great AoW for powerstancing because the damage reduction, 10% damage boost, and stamina enhancement are all quite powerful. In fact, the roar enhancements not working actually frees up weapon slots.

In order to test the Highland Axe, I simply switched to the axe in the off hand, roared, then switched back to the longsword for the attack.

Submit

Right off the bat, the dmg negation is bugged reducing exactly 10 dmg rather than 10%. However, this still is an amazing ash of war, love this on a bleed zwei for keeping that one handed roll catch but getting that two handed R2 to R1 combo. This like warcry also buffs status build up on two handed charge attacks making it one of the best AoW for pve and a fun choice for PvP. This one is truly slept on

Submit

I have noticed for months now that I don’t receive the defense boost from this skill. Weirdest part is that when I pull up my stat menu as soon as I activate this skill, only my pierce dmg negation can always be seen reducing by around 8 or 9 for a maybe not even half a second before reverting back to the original value my pierce dmg negation stat would normally be before using this skill. This weird fluctuation happens exclusively to that stat only, idk why. So… for whatever reason, I receive no defensive increase at all from this skill. Hope they patch this soon because it’s been like this For me for a long time now…

Submit

Is the damage negation bugged? I tried activating it two handed with no armor and got no defense boost

Submit

Loving this on Grave Scythe after the buff. Altered heavy attack has nice quick secondary swing which surprises most opponents and you can easily trade hits. According to my brief tests the body buffs actually stack with FGMS, which I think is weird as it’s also a body buff.

Submit

During the activation part of the skill, between using it and the roar finishing, you are susceptible to piercing damage for the duration.

Submit

Does it stacks up with barbaric roar?

Submit

You might not know this, but when used on a Zweihander, it gets it's DS3 R2 back for shor time...

Submit

Slap this on a Nightrider Glaive high Highland Axe in your offhand, Spear talisman and Roar Medallion and you got yourself a oneshot machine

Submit

Can confirm this stacks with Flame, Grant me strength. You get separate icons for each buff. You still get the attack buff, body buff and even double stamina regen buff.

Submit

Something unusual I don't see anywhere on the page here is that you have -30% piercing damage negation while you're activating the skill. It only lasts for the duration of the initial roar animation, and it's only piercing damage. I'd have to test to see if this applies to any other "roar" or "cry" skills, but I thought it would be pertinent to put that on the page.

Submit

Does the damage negation buff stack with flame grant me strength? I would assume not, if both are body buffs

Submit

So, in theory, this adds +10% damage negation upon activation. However, I don't see a change in any of my damage negation stats (Physical, Magic, Fire, etc.) after activating it.

Submit

idc how good this is i'm not killing my boy boggart

Submit

From my testing, the damage buff appeared to be around 7.5–8% but I'm really unsure as I kept getting weird outliers and inconsistent data across the board. Using Braggarts roar on a weapon with 100 AR netted me 108, but using it on a weapon the game displayed as having 200 AR netted me 215. 8% is possible in both scenarios providing that the status screen rounds up displayed AR while using it normally as the discrepancy theoretically could come about if the true AR was above 199.5 but below 199.537. Then again, it would also be possible if the buff was 7.5%... so I'm really at a loss here. There's definitely something more complicated here under the hood it seems, so I guess we await the data miners to grant us eyes.

Submit

i've been trying to figure out the percentages for the bonuses since they aren't listed. The consensus seems to be that it provides less damage than War Cry (~10%), I think it may be around ~8-9% attack power (hard to measure with all the different damage types and resistances), ~5% defense boost, and ~10-12% stamina regen (not sure if stamina regen is a % value or if it adds a flat amount of stamina regen per second).

Overall, not a bad alternative to War Cry. For the same FP cost, it lasts longer (30 sec vs. 20 sec) and balanced by the longer cast time (3 sec). Unlike War Cry, this only changes 2H heavy attacks, which can be good for some weapons. I believe this is considered a weapon buff, so these smaller bonuses can still be useful if you stack with stuff like Golden Vow or Commander's Standard. The stamina regen is the kicker though - it's not as much as the Green Turtle Talisman but it's still one of the only stamina regen buffs in the game, and the only one in AoW form.

Submit

do specific affinities block the buff on the weapon like other weapon buff's, or does this apply regardless of that?

Submit

Not sure what happens during Mohgs fights at the palace but with the heavy brick hammer at +22 I do 525 before the roar and oy 520 after. That's dual hand at 51 str.

Submit

You guys Seriously need reword "Found on Blackguard Big Boggart's Iron Ball weapon after killing him" how about "found on Blackguard big Boggart's iron ball weapon, after killing him as it is the default ash of war of his iron ball weapon" or something like that. Be more clear in future.

Submit

The charged heavy attack must have some insane hyper armour, I was taking the Draconic Tree Sentinel's hits like they were nothing

Submit

I heard this Weapon Art was bugged. Has it been fixed as of now?

Submit

I'm not seeing a buff to sorceries, should I?

Submit

attack buff not boosted by roar medallion

Submit

Unfortunate that the version of this Ash of War that can be applied to different weapons is only found on Blackguard Boggart's weapon, meaning you have to kill him in Liurnia, Leyndell Capital Moat, or let Dung Eater kill him. Really theres no reason to keep him alive once he's moved to Leyndell, as you can get 5 Seedbed Curses without Dungeater killing him, and it is more convenient to have his bell bearing in the Twinmaiden Husk shop. I prefer to just kill Dung Eater and let Boggart live because I'm a sentimental roleplayer.

Submit

So I decided to test how this works with Dual wielding. I used two Beastman's curved swords at +24, both with this Ash of War. It seems that the damage increase only effects one weapon, not both. So I two-handed my offhand, did the roar, then went back to dual and roared and made the damage for both weapons increase. Interestingly, it also stacked the defense and stamina regen effects. Don't know how viable that is since it lasts 30 seconds and takes about 3 seconds each roar. Hope that helps someone!

Submit

Tested this with a +25 ceastus and the roar, axe, and ritual sword talismans. Here is my findings:
~1k full charge normal
War cry ~1525
Barbaric Roar ~1420, but easier to land due to no charge.
Braggart's Roar ~1502

In all cases, no stealth was involved. As for Braggart's Roar, I tested the negation at the Zamor Ruins. Here is my findings:
Nothing: 1900 to 1196 from a zamor knight 2 hit combo.
Roar: 1900 to 1232 from the same combo.

All of them are pretty alright so ask yourself this: Do you wanna move with the charge and do more damage, or have a more consistent land chance? Also do you want some very mild damage mitigation? Because you might want endure at that point.

Submit

It says buffs defense but i dont see any difference in my status when using it

Am i blind?

Or something wrong here?

Submit

just tested on a zweihander activating braggart's roar it gets overwritten by my electrify armament

Submit

Using this also changes both the charged and uncharged R2 attacks of my scythe, dunno what it does for other weapons though

Submit

Can be acquired by acquiring the Iron Ball weapon. The Iron Ball drops from an npc at Boilprawn Shack, he sells a necklace for a quest and unlimited prawn. You also get his bell bearing for killing him and can keep buying unlimited prawn at the Roundtable.

Submit

This one is bad. The bonuses sound nice but they're tiny, seem to last only like 30 seconds, and the animation is so long it's almost impossible to use in the middle of a fight without getting the crap smacked out of you. You can use it before short fights against ordinary enemies and enjoy the boost, but it's practically useless in a boss fight. Replace this with almost anything else.

Submit

Anyone know if this has an Ash of War? The Battle Hammer can have its skill overwritten, so I assume the Ash of War is out there somewhere...

Submit

A super basic test seems to increase dmg by 10%, so I would presume defense and energy regen would be the same. Lasts 20 seconds or so. Pretty solid for the low fp cost. Cast time is a touch slow but easy to pull off with a bit of space.

Submit

What does it do?

Also found on the Blackguard's Iron Ball
