Carian Piercer | Elden Ring Wiki

the rollcatch button, alternatively you can fully charge it for a oneshot button

Submit

PvP is just unplayable when this is used in every other duel. Borderline unreactable, way to high damage and almost undodgable when you manage to predict it.

Submit

What were they thinking when they made this spell? Close to unreactable, three-shots even when uncharged, and it is also has a lingering hitbox for some reason?

Submit

Carian Light Roll Punishment

I think we can all agree, moongrum can go die in a hole

Submit

This spell when charged can knock Malenia straight onto her ass when she's doing her slow walk towards you and It also has enough range to hit her when you're outside of her bubble during her last waterfowl dance attack which will also knock her over. On top of all this it does very respectable damage, still you gotta be careful when using it against her as she has many moves that have hyper armor, for example her kick.

Submit

This can cheese practically any enemy that doesn't have constant hyper armor (Royal Revenants, for example). When charged, it can also hitstun Crucible Knights. Currently doing an int build and I'm honestly surprised how broken these 'melee' spells are

That monster one shot my 60 vigor bull goat tank

Submit

the sheer length, girth, and force of this thing is enough to adjust the attitude of the average tank squad

I just started pvping as a caster and this spell is honestly all i need. Im glad i didn't grind ranni for adulas

Slow af at max casting speed...

magic poke

Submit

the "i cant hit them with slicer so ill hope the lingering hitbox ghost catches them" spell

Submit

How much Poise damage does this do?

Submit

Swing your slicer and then hit this *chefs kiss*

Submit

from buffed this way too much. i can do 1400 damage on an uncharged cast and when charged upwards of 2000. no amount of vigor can save you from this spell.

Submit

Haha roll catch oh running away are we… NOPE!

Submit

If only it would cost less FP...

Submit

I love hitting this 100% of the time in duels

Submit

I think this is objectively the best sorcery in the game for both PvP and PvE. You can charge it, it knocks enemies over, comes out pretty wuickly, is also boosted by spear talisman. I think this is the best especially in skilled hands

Submit

Does it boost by spear talisman?

Certified knight killer

Carian Piercer is highly effective against foes your own size that aren't smart enough to dodge out of the way. You can cast this repeatedly for as long as your stamina bar can bear to give, knocking down a target over and over.
If you run clear out of stamina, comboing Carian Piercer into itself becomes a lot more unstable. You have a very tight window of execution, and the spell will miss if the enemy pre-emptively uses a move that causes it to fly out of the way.

Does a crazy amount of poise dmg when charged. Most enemies will just fall to the ground.

Submit

Fully charged Carian Piercer + Lusat Glintstone Staff + Carian Glintstone Staff (offhand) + Graven Mass Talisman + Magic Scorpion Charm + Godfrey Icon + Ritual Sword Talisman + Terra Magica

Did this get nerfed? I've been trying to use this for nearly two hours now and the knockdowns and stuns are just about nowhere near worth it compared to comprabable spells like meteor for spells cruicible for incantations.

Submit

Has a wonky hitbox where you can jump over it and still get hit.

Submit

looks kinda like astora greatsword

Submit

just here to complain that as much as i LOVE this sorcery, the recovery time is absolute aids. for example: if you hit melenia with this and she has hyper armor you get stuck watching her be about to smack you and then smack you for 3/4 of a second as you try to dodge and don't move because recovery time.

Submit

The dumbass lingering hitbox on this spell is a crime

Submit

Anti River of blood.
Use it charged while Rob is doing his thing and then follow up with pebble when rob is knocked down for extra disrespect

Submit

Carian slicer > panic roll > carian piercer

Submit

Does this pierce through shields?

Submit

This is great against Malenia. She falls to the floor when she's not in hyperarmor.

Submit

Excellent spell, a must have for any caster for the times when you can't get away from things. The range is pretty good, and even if it doesn't hit that hard, it interrupts enemies' casts. Since it is quick to get off, it can easily stun-lock them repeatedly until they're dead.

Submit

Anyone tried this against Malenia? If this can cancel sword dance while she's above the air?

Submit

I wondered where this spell was. I blasted through this place as those big hands were no joke. I now know they hate fire though, so will just have to craft some fire pots and drag myself back again.

Submit

Carian Shishkebab is The Spell for those pesky a) NPC's for its innate knockdown on full charge, b) even peskier shield+spear "pro pvp players" for yknow it still knocks down and makes the shield arm hurt by poise and stamina damage, and c) having a barbecue party at Farum Azula with a lot of half-breed meat on an icy dragon head shishkebab

Submit

In PVE this spell has no purpose. Less range than Adula’s, marginally more damage (but no doublehit or ailment), less horizontal reach. This really needs a gimmick, maybe make it multihit, or improve poise break, or just plain make it deal more damage. It has such a cool animation, shame there’s no reason to use it.

Submit

M1 and then this attack usually catches roll spammers for a good chunk of dmg

Submit

one of the best pvp spells. Catches a lot of people off guard with the range.

Submit

Wish you could backstab with this, would be hilarious.

Submit

Does anyone know if Carian Piercer can crit the boss after it's stunned?

Submit

Good for stunlockimg, for example against Alecto or Crystalians. The damage is very good with respect to FP cost. Cand be spammed for stunlocking strong foes. Strongly recommended against bosses.

Submit

Can anyone explain to me why I can't use this spell in PVP? It seems other players can....

Submit

Honestly wish the FP cost was juuuust a little lower.

Submit

Ironically, this is more of a surgical weapon than a powerhouse. The DPS relative to FP cost is low, and it doesn't have the ability to deal followup attacks like its Carian cousins. However it does have considerable forward range, and a good bit of burst damage. It is deal for taking out singular enemies that rush into you head on, as you can start casting it from beyond their melee range and often kill them in 1 hit. In a narrow corridor you can skewer many enemies at once. The large range also makes it a good horseback jousting weapon for hit and run attacks.

The low dps and bad FP efficiencies however means this is not an ideal "boss killer" spell. Use the Carian Slicer for that.

Submit

This spell is incredibly good in PvP and PvE. This isn't listed anywhere, but charging this spell up raises the range and recovery frames, aswell as the damage. Charging can also make people roll early on accident, leading to quick roll-catches. Very very good for punishing aggressive opponents.

Submit

This spell is pretty underrated, very few enemies are able to defend against it and the majority of those will all fall onto the ground allowing you to setup a charged attack.

Submit

Of note is the fact that in addition to increasing the forward range via a step-in animation, charging the Carian Piercer increases it's damage. Although if that slight increase is worth the extra charge time is worthy of debate.

Submit

Big damage and charging this spell all the way sends most enemies flying just like a greatsword's thrust, and it's equally easy to keep enemies on the ground with repeated full charges.

Submit

“blades of pure moonlight,” eh? Sounds familiar.

Where can I find it playing the Network Test?
