Claws of Night is a Claw in Elden Ring. It is a brand new Claw in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The Claws of Night only scales with Dexterity and is therefore a good Weapon for dexterity builds.
Claws of a bottomless black from which no light can escape. Wielded by Anna, Swordhand of Night. Engraved with a smithscript enabling strong attack to launch all three claws at a target. The blades are only semicorporeal, and cannot be fully guarded against.

The individual claw blades remind me of the Blade of Mercy from Bloodborne

Maybe not the best claws objectively but MAN they're fun. Ride torrent under a basegame dragon, lock onto the head, and just spam heavy attacks and you'll MELT their health with the thrown daggers.

Why do these have an Int and Dex scaling of C at plus 10 on console?
- Anonymous
these should scale with arcane or int change my mind. arcane would be best like the new greatsword. maybe a little bleed scaling and the magic damage scaling with int or arc would be nice

These things deal an unexpectedly high amount of damage. At 70 Dex, and when testing against the same enemy (Large Omen in Leyndell Sewers/Hornsent Warrior next to Stagefront Grace in dlc) these claws did more damage per hit than Backhand Blades (both Keen and Lightning) while ALSO attacking faster AND having natural bleed infliction. The ash also does good damage and bleed build up.
The only real downside of this weapon is that it is very poor at stance breaking, due to all heavy attacks having the Throwing Knives moveset; however this also offsets the range downside that claw/fist weapons usually have. A good option for when you're unsure whether to commit to an attack is to simply being a charged heavy. If the enemy does not initiate an attack then you get a free charged heavy, if the enemy begins an attack then pressing backstep will cancel the charged heavy into a backstep throw which still does decent damage.
One thing to note (as with all the new throwing weapon options) that past about 80% of the throw projectiles max range the damage decreases enormously. If you're testing damage make sure you're not throwing attacks from max range.

This also inherits the guard counter from the throwing dagger class, which is super nice because that guard counter has a backstep. So if you use a shield or deflecting tear, you can guard counter in the middle of combos if you know you'll backstep out of range of the next hit

Visually my favorite weapon added in the DLC, love how the disappear and reappear when you throw them, like you're conjuring them out of shadow itself.

Someone needs to change the category for these. They're listed as beast claws on the website when in game They're part of the regular claw category.

This weapon has a feint attack if you backstep while charging a heavy attack.

absolutely beautiful for co-op. fast moveset w/ bleed and the crow quill throw on the running heavy lets you pull aggro off of hosts from across the arena

I havent found these yet. Can they be buffed with bloodflame blade?

lol i dodge the projectile & get no damage but somehow still get staggered on top of bleed build up.

The individual blades of these look familiar. Is there a sword that's the same shape?

Idk if a talisman would work on a AoW like this would be affected, but does anyone know if the Smithing Talisman works with this?

As others have stated, those are normal claws, not beast claws

dont know why these are in beast claws when they are a normal claw weapon

Just respecced for these, they are insane. Unlike throwing daggers these stagger normally and do actual poise damage which is good damage, bleed build up is good too, the ash of war is good just empowered hits, did 2 random coloseums and won both with ease. Jump throw seems to catch people offguard.
Also you can still use them as claws not just throw them.

These Weapons scale only with Dexterity
Also they absolutely shred when Dual wielded do Good Poise but sadly the Weapon art is really bad and barely does anything.
