Crystal Release | Elden Ring Wiki

Unironically this NUKES in arena when using two crystal staffs + graven mass, + it gets hyper armor

Submit

Only way I see this good is by heing cast into the air like magic downpour

Submit

the crystal sorceries are really cool. i like that they're not just upgraded versions of the generic magic missiles like in dark souls. only thing is they need to bring back white dragon breath, as someone who doesn't normally dabble with magic it was my favorite spell in ds1 since it actually required an irl int build to use effectively lol. would love to see it make a return

Submit

As of Dec 2023, spell grants hyper armor for when you need to punish ganks

Praise the Sun!

This spell can be used on horseback, gaining increased range and slight mobility

Submit

This spell is good against people who try to jump you. (Invasions and such) it has good poise damage and is AOE.

Submit

I think this spell is a hidden gem. Sure it has its issues, but the damage and consistency is greatly improved since the previous patch. In my quick caster build who use azur staff and radagon icon, this spell hits hard, granted I do have 80 int. But I'm just bored of using carian slicer, we all know how good that is. Use this spell if you want close range alternatives and not just spam slicers. The poise guarantees the spell will be cast. Hope from would add in damage reduction for a buff in the future.

Submit

This spell does have potential. Just slap Endure on your Misericorde and cast Crystal Release under large enemies. But how will it fare in 3 vs 1 PVP?

Anon 07 Nov 2022 00: 16, FROM doesn’t care ‘bout intelligence.. at all… that’s why 94% of sorceries are horrid in pvp. but at least they finally thought it was smart to complete the sorcery animation, meanwhile DS3 makes INT look buggy…

Submit

My absolute favorite spell to use when poise break but by no mean this spell is good, the damage is really solid but the target hitbox need to be lower than you and the range is utterly trash

Submit

if i could marry this spell i could. spanking a gank with it is probably the most satisfying thing a wizard can do right next to deleting mohg with comet azur

Even after 1.07 this spell still isn't all that great. Because the angle of the crystal release is based entirely on the plane you're standing in (if you're standing on stairs it'll aim towards the stairs diagonally instead of straight down), even with the increased range it is still not worth to trade hits with it in PvE nor PvP. At least with Zamor Ice Storm you're guaranteed to know exactly how big the AOE is, but Crystal Release is way too random to assure that you will punish anything that comes near you.

Honestly, if Fromsoft made it so that the spell also gave you damage reduction while in super armor it would've been a great roll punisher. It'd also make sense lore-wise considering how bulky Crystalians are until you break through their poise with melee attacks.

Great against larger bosses but at that point it's probably better to just use Spiral Shard, Founding Rain of Stars, or even Shattering Crystal while still having mobility to move around.

Submit

It would be good if this spell was actually casted on ENEMY instead of player area... But nope. Useless. Pointless. No real purpose.

Submit

I really want this make use of this but it just doesn’t feel like it has consistent damage. Things like magic downpour also aren’t super consistent but at least for that you aren’t stuck in place. I’m just not quite sure what to use this for. If it was supposed to be used when you get surrounded it needs a larger number of crystals and probably more stagger damage. If it was supposed to be like a stronger magic downpour but with extra downsides it should probably last longer after you finish the animation

Submit

Cast time of DragonBall transformation, range of a fork

Submit

praise the sun aside, this should have been a beefed up magic downpour

Submit

41 int requirement for such a horrendous spell?

Submit

The spell keeps shooting even if you get staggered out of it by bigger attacks. You can technically tank a hit on purpose to get it off and maybe the boss will end up fully under it and you animation cancelled to maybe do another one as it's going. Does good damage when it works.

Submit

It would be cool if when dying using this I would shatter like a Crystalian.

Submit

oh my god I can't believe after so many tries I actually cought somebody with this spell in pvp. Some overly bloodhound stepping guy got around 500 dmg and he dodged quite a lot of it. Ok, my duty's done, never gonna use it in combat again, only for praise the sun purposes.

Submit

Description: Some also call this sorcery "the Crystal Sun."
Casting animation: "Praise the Sun"!?

Submit

I was kind of disappointed this spell wasn't an upgrade to Magic Downpour. Like, looking at the spell icon you'd think it'd be a faster version of Magic Downpour while it machine-guns crystals everywhere, but alas it's not.

Submit

Just noticed this triggers winged sword insignia

Submit

Spell has been buffed as of 1.04 even tho it’s not in the patch notes. Faster casting speed and also has poise when casting. Even if hit the Crystal will continue firing

Submit

It's got good potential as an Invader with the protection you get at the start, start with this and give yourself some breathing room or kill them if they think they're strong enough. Not as big AoE as Founding Rain but it only takes up one slot.

Submit

No, Rogier uses the basic Magic Downpour you get from Preceptor Miriam.

Submit

Combine with Daedicar's Woe Talisman for intended effect

Submit

This spell seems broken to me and will quickly lose favor to other more versatile spells in its range and type. Im just a completionist and had to get it.

Submit

Is this the spell rogier uses?

Submit

Does decent damage actually but you have to stand still to use it, and the range is short. It’s like a vertical shotgun essentially.

Submit

Would be nice to see this get a buff to cast speed and maybe number of projectiles to give it the utility of a ‘get out of my face button’

Submit

I already messaged Bandai NAMCO support team about the absurdity of this spell. It would be great if our body is engulfed with crystal armor while casting it, giving the caster 200% bonus dmg negation from all sources.

Submit

I casted it only one time in my playtime, figgting against that a$$holes perceptors with dozens of noble sorcerers. I casted it and that was soo awkward standing with hands up for eternity doing absolutely 0 damage to anyone. Even perceptor stopped shooting me with his magic greatbow, he was like "what the f man, is this a timeout?" Never felt NPC being embarrased for me befofe.

Submit

If you are higher the range is bigger. For example, if you cast this while riding torrent it will hit a wider area.

Submit

If you could cast this and then roll out as soon as it deploys it would be usable but as it is you are risking death being locked in a LONG animation right next to enemies for damage that isn't better than things you can cast at a safe distance.

Submit

Does wonders if you raise your casting speed. Can outright oneshot some bosses.

Submit

It's not good. Long casting and the range is close to melee.Plus,it works best when surrounded, which a mage shouldn't be.

Submit

Casting this spell will probably just get you killed.
