Dancing Blade of Ranah | Elden Ring Wiki

Pros: You can become a dancing princess
Cons:

Submit

It really should do fire damage

Submit

Funny that it says "scales primarily with dexterity" like it isnt the only stat it scales off of at all

Submit

i beat Malenia with this awazing weapon

Submit

You can dance if you want to

Submit

Bloodhound Fang is somber and can be buffed (that thing even has innate bleed). I really wish this could also be buffed, would be so cool... sad it cannot

Submit

I personally fail to see why people love this weapon so much. The basic attacks damage is awful, the heavy attacks are more flashy then actually viable, and the weapon could deal some decent damage but any enemy that has even a slight amount of poise (which is a lot of them) will just slap you out of it instantly. I thought I was sleeping on this thing from what comments had to say about it but just using 2 basic scimitars can out dps it in most cases and they can be buffed.

Submit

100% dual wield this thing, it's SO much better

Submit

To my surprise, it's incredibly effective against Furnace Golems. Pack up some multihit talismans/tear and just spam dance one leg after another. Stuns surprisingly quickly, and then once the golem falls hit the face with the dance for a few seconds before critting. Shouldn't get back up.

Aside of that yeah, probably the best pure dex weapon in the game.

Submit

This is perfect. With 65 dex, this destroy everything without needing bleed or infinite buffs. And the moveset is stylish.

Submit

Absolutely nukes Midra. Was trying with my usual dex build (godskin peeler + eleonora's poleblade) and struggling to find good windows to chip away. The R1 on this is so fast and spammable I forgot to use the L2. Killed first try with these, don't underestimate them.

Submit

Extremely solid weapon on a pure dex build if you're not wanting to use stamding Heavy Attacks. Honestly, those weird heavy attacks are the only weakness of the weapon. Slap on Thorny Tear, Mil's Prosthesis, Rotten Wing, and just go to town. Punish stance breaks when you get them with the AoW (jump heavies are great for that, much better than standing heavies) and you can end up dealing tens of thousands of damage in a heartbeat in NG+ cycles.

Submit

I had to stop myself from using this weapon because it was melting everything and making the DLC far too easy lol

Submit

another weapon whose main and only attraction is its l2, unparalleled genius and creativity there devs

Submit

The Ash of War looks like handsome Squidward falling

Submit

The first Viable Dex Weapon with no Bleed

Submit

Have in mind, this is only more viable if you use ironjars, which are disguntingly annoying to farm. You can stack big armor with big poise and look weird (which breaks the point of having it for style), but most attacks from medium enemies will break you out of the skill.

Submit

Has the flowing blades r2 and the schimitars r1 when one handing

Submit

Genuinely confused why you can't buffed with elements. It's pure physical damage and no special properties

Submit

you can melt anything that's not particularly resistant to slash in just a few seconds. of course, you'd have to pop an elixir... but it's cool. great PvE weapon, really fun to use. benefits well from Godskin talisman.

another cool thing is that you can dodge incoming attacks if you use the skill while not locked on. I danced around mohg and melted him with one full stamina bar (I did 36k~ damage)

probably not very good for PvP, but still great!

Submit

ate with the weapon tbh

Submit

You can dance
U can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl watch that scene digging the dancing queennnnn <33
~ the same commenter from above

Submit

Took out most bosses in about 20 seconds with talismans that increase power with successive attacks and Rakasha armour. Used heavy chess pieces for poise

Submit

Perfect busted weapon, absolutely shreds PVE but kinda bad for PVP

Submit

Get up on the floor, dancing all night long

Submit

If it just had bleed buildup. I'd main it immediately

Submit

the only thing that could make this melt enemies faster is bleed, or being able to buffed like the bloodhound fang lol

Submit

Dressing as Malenia, standing on a scenic mountainside, and holding the L2 for at least 90 seconds unlocks the Elden Ring: The Musical hidden ending for the base game.

Submit

Were these nerfed badly in the latest patch? (1.13) was about to respec and dance my problems away

Submit

Broken af weapon and I love it

Submit

Dance like no one is watching weapon art + ironjar aromatic + leaden hardtear + blood sucking or thorny cracked tear + rotten wing sword or millys prosthesis + godskin swaddling cloth + (optional) Melania's great rune =

Saturday Night Fever tarnished, unstoppable on the dance floor. Is it still considered a beat down if it's choreographed? Find out today!

Submit

Fun fact: If you deplete all your blue juice and then hold down the AoW you can dance forever. You can dance across the lands between like the tarnished twink you are

Submit

Melee Comet Azur but cheaper, cooler, less situational, higher damaging, requires less setup and probably a bunch of other stuff. S tier pve weapon

Submit

This weapon has an interesting use case. It's pure dex, so you can split a decently leveled build between dex and either faith or int. Sorceries and incantations can pick up for the slack as far as poise damage and damage resistance goes - spam your poise wrecking spell/incantation of choice, chug a physique when they're about to break, break them, then lay the damage on hard with the Ash of War. Are there better options? Yes, but none of them look quite this fabulous.

Submit

Aesthetically this weapon is just wow, the fact that it's a unique weapon with Dance moveset too, and there are options to make the AoW more powerfull. But damn, the AoW is soooo slow imo.

If the moveset was faster, i'll probably play this in an entire run, but yeah, definitly too slow, it's a shame.

Submit

i dont see anyone commenting on the one-handed moveset on these, it has unique lights and heavies (which might make it good to one-hand considering the light combo comes out incredibly fast)

Submit

Picked Ranah, Enemies Glarin', Lost before I'm done! Not carin', feet flarin', spin until I've won! I'm farming while they're cryin'! Grabbing every rune in sight, and if they do get in my way...I'm gonna make em die!! SPIN TO WIN! TILL THEY DIE! IF YA SPIN THEY WILL CRY! SPIN TO WIN! ACE EM' ALL! JUST ONE L2 AND THEY'll FALL!!! (The real ones know)

Submit

Dancing is what this do. Dancing's when I attack you. Dancing ‘till stamina runs low. Dancing's finger but whole.

Submit

when someone manages to trigger the normal walking animation combined with the ash of war - absolutely terrifying, run

Submit

My thoughts on this: Yes it can do high damage but it's just generally worse than powerstanced bandits in every way
Pros:
the ash can get boosted by the armor set
Cons:
-can't get infused/buffed so less versatility in build making
-no ash of war options
-less range than bandits
-needs full armor set to get the full benefit
-high commitment attack that locks you into an animation that doesn't stagger big enemies neither has hyper armor, so you're likely to get punished for using it

So basically big numbers /= better. Hope this helps

Submit

Finally! The true SPIN2WIN has arrived!

Submit

I was a fighting a hippo in the open world and I did a bleed proc with the dancing blades of ranah somehow? I have no idea how that happened, since they don't show that they can bleed and also I clearly not only saw the visual indication of a bleed proc but also the additional damage that comes with bleed. Can someone explain this?

Submit

Combine with Godskin Swaddling cloth and Ironjar. Boost def and poise.

You can now dance and heal forever.

These weapons seem to trigger "Successive hits" faster than normal.

Submit

Has a very good light jumping attack that hits 4 times and immediately procs consecutive hit buffs.

Submit

Absolutely devestating with consecutive attack buffs and general buffs, but make sure you have either ironjar aromatic or lots of poise to get in more than 2 hits

Submit

Rakshasa's set + power within physick + bloodboil + golden vow + consecutive attack buffs etc = melted Mohg and Fire Giant in literal seconds on ng+

Submit

Ranah set, these, blue dancer charm, alexander shard, rotten winged sword, milly's prosthesis. The damage you can get out if you can hold the L2 for a few seconds is crazy.

Submit

comes with a free spine removal surgery

Submit

perfect for handsome squidward

Submit

god these look so cool. i cant wait to play the dlc

Submit

Another case of "these weapons are amazing, as you understand them"

Honestly there's not single boss these weapons don't melt, while dancing.

Submit

Cool weapon, the ability is fun but I can't help feel but these would be better and more fitting thematically and as a moveset as backhand blades, I ended up going back to those for my dancer build

Submit

Imagine Ghiza's wheel, but you ARE the wheel

Submit

Very enjoyable cos-play build. Went in with a pure Dex char, found this sword and the dress, added blue dancer, Millicents, double turtle and shard of Alex. Never looked back.

Submit

Black Flame Tornado on Elden Beast? Never heard of that. All my homies dance on him. In all seriousness, the consecutive attack talismans/tear, Shard of Alexander, Blue Dancer Charm, and the armor set make this an absolute monster in PvE. I have been cooping on RadaBeast and once Elden Beast starts spewing that fire at the beginning say bye-bye to 13k health in seconds. Goated weapon, mileage may vary on bosses with less free openings.

Submit

Shantae build when?

Submit

Pairs extremely well with the blue dancer charm. Keep your equip load under 15 and you will absolutely demolish bosses. Golden vow, blue dancer charm, rot sword talisman, millicents prosthesis, Alexander jar shard will make the weapon art do insane damage. Very good for pure dex glass canon.

Submit

I don't quite understand why she can't be enchanted

Submit

only scales with Dex, only gets to A scaling, no ashes of war, no buffs. lower AR than keen flowing curved sword, which was already not the strongest curved sword. weapon skill requires poise, set that buffs its damage does not provide. sigh. I still love it

Submit

Watch your waist when you do the AOW. Become gumby.

Submit

Those with Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, Millicent's Prosthesis (80 DEX with it) and Claw Talisman destroyed every boss I encountered. The jump light Attack is really strong.

Submit

Don't bother with the armor set. 10% is nice but you won't be able to do anything from a single hit. I'm using the Fire Knight Chest and Legs, with the Gauntlets of Solitude and Divine Beast Head. Sitting at 53 poise without the talisman.

Submit

If you wanna turn yourself into an unstoppable blender equip your multi-hit talismans, Alex's Shard, the Ranah set, Infinite Stamina + Multi-hit Tears and pop an Ironjar Aromatic.
Just don't try it on Ancient Dragons!

Submit

the running light attack tears messmer apart its insane

Submit

The Ranah Dancer set boosts the attack power of the swords!

Submit

These things are getting nerfed, aren't they? (Not suggesting it, but just assuming) Absolutely disgusting damage with all the multihit things on, shard of alexander, etc haha, and assuming you have a ridiculous amount of fp, behold, the lord of the dance.

Submit

was able to pull 20K damage in seconds, would have been way more if i had maxed my stamina

Submit

From why you gotta do flowing curved sword like this. Literally just better in every way except for customizable aow

Submit

Whats the ar at 80 dex?

Submit

melter deluxe

Submit

If you hold down the weapon art ability and walk in a direction, sometimes it causes your legs to remain still, but your upper body will continue to spin around. It's... interesting to watch.

Submit

Absolutely disgusting weapon, with 90dex + wing and prosthesis (and "fire" buff) i manage to land 2k dmg PER HIT on mesmer, absolutely destroyed his ass

Submit

handsome squidward falling

Submit

close enough, welcome back dancer of the boreal valley

Submit

i love this so much but using it in ng+++++ is so frustrating because they do not stagger to save your life and you just get stream rolled through your attacks. combined with the armor that boosts it, you will look very cool and beautiful while dying.

Submit

This is what Flowing Curved Sword dreams about <3

Submit

Dancers curved swords from DS3 except actually good and no split damage, and the weapon art is actually usable and the r1s and r2s are actually usable and-

From learned from thier mistakes.

Submit

The AoW on this is great in the right circumstances, but don't sleep on the jumping light attack.

Two double slashes super fast - four hits in an instant. The burst damage is nutty, and procs the rotten sword insignia right away. Great for if you cant find time to get the dance started or as an opener on approach.

Submit

I’m making a new character just for this

Submit

If you are struggling with Bayle, get under him and spam the ash of this thing, thank me later

Submit

Man, if only i had the hyperarmor that the enemies that use this have. They keep going "blades of mercy" on my ass.

Submit

The most interesting and beautiful weapons in dlc are paired weapons, sadly

Submit

The dancer Set Buffs the AoW only and the value is 10% for the complete Set. But as a glass cannon without Poise/Armor its hard to maintain the Dance AoW. Soldiers can be chain stunned but Knights delete you.

Submit

stupidly overpowered

Submit

Not sure if it's just on pc, but there's a weird bug where while using the skill, the animation can break and your legs keep facing forward but your upper body keeps twisting

Submit

This thing is pure enjoyment with a dex build, just get enough poise and hold L2 with all the attack power talismans

Submit

This sweet baby has A Dex scaling at +10, barely consumes fp for the dance skill, dance is endless and you'll look amazing on it

Submit

+10 is A in dex

Submit

omega level drip

Submit

the skill looks a mix of malenias weapon and dancer curved swords
