Determination | Elden Ring Wiki

Does the nerf affect also npc invasions?

Something to be clear about with this is and RKR is that it works properly, and in fact exceptionally, with multihit attacks. The small damage instances all get buffed and because of how defense works in this game it actually amounts to a greater than 50% increase in damage dealt especially early on (multihit stuff is generally worse early on, see multiprojectile spells. As an example, on a character with 17 STR and 18 DEX with a Quality Twinblade +3 (yes ik quality isn’t efficient until very high levels, ignore that part), Determination improves a 2H R1 from 127 to 205 (61.4% increase) and a charged 2H R2 from 264 to 426 (also about a 61.4% increase). For slight contrast it improves a 1H R1 (not multihit) by 59.8%, tho I guess it’s generally true that this thing will have better impact on final damage at lower levels because of how defense works.

Why does this one have the numbers but rkr doesnt?

Submit

* (This knightly stance fills you with determination.)
* (HP fully restored.)

on a 100 crit weapon does the strong attack do more than the backstab?

Not sure why my post didn't show up. Oh well, take 2. So I recently picked Elden Ring up again, doing Dex Fth hybrid. I was wondering if Determination works with split damage types too? Such as Sacred or Flame Art. Or would Keen be the most beneficial affinity?

Submit

So, I haven't played since 1.02 or so, finally playing through for the first time. Just started NG+ and was wondering how the damage increase works, exactly... Is it total damage, or physical? See I'm running a dex fth hybrid build, and debating between Miséricorde and Erdsteel. One will have QS, the other, Determination. Plan on Dual Wielding them together, Erdsteel offhand. Does Determination boost split damage, such as Flame Art or Lightning? Or is a Keen for Physical more beneficial?

If im dualwielding Starscourge Greatsword + Guts sword, and use determination on guts, it will still gain the 60% buff ? If not I might aswell duel wield Starscourge

Submit

Is there any reason to use this once you have Royal Knight's Resolve?

Submit

It didn't buff my sorcery. Is it patched on sorceries?

Submit

just want to note here since its not in the description but yes this works with collosal weapons as well as long as the weapon allows it

Submit

Could i put this on a a colossal sword and pop it, then switch to my main colossal sword that has war cry and pop that and use both of them?

Submit

Removes weapon buffs such as greases and armaments sadly.

Submit

There's a stronger version of this called Knight's something that costs 15 FP for a 2x damage bonus

Submit

It lowers my weapons base damage? Is that expected?

Submit

Anybody know if you can use Determination then use a staff in your offhand to cast a more powerful sorcery?

Submit

Here's how it affects spells (testing with 40 int Meteorite staff on the enemy just outside the Gatefront grace):

Glintstone Pebble: 270 -> 432
Great Glintstone Shard: 387 -> 619
Night Shard: 181 -> 290

-So yeah, it's almost exactly 60% like others have said

*Also nice to note that it can affect the damage after the projectile is cast (by activating it before the projectile hits), this is especially useful with something like Rock Fling.
**The buff persists for about 10 seconds and hitting with a spell (as opposed to hitting with the weapon with determination) doesn't make it lose it's effects, so you could cast a pebble, cast determination before it hits, cast two or three more pebbles and everything will be boosted (making pebble even more fp efficient provided that the enemy survived al that)

-In my experience, it is most useful when attacking stronger enemies out of stealth to take them down quicker before they get to you

So after using this for quite some time, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
I've been using this with Giant-Crusher (Heavy) - this combined with heavy jumping attack is something to behold.

So few things to note:
- Duration is roughly 10 seconds.
- It works with with critical hits ON MOST MOBS (Some criticals absorb the buff in the first part of the critical hit for some reason, and not the whole chain.)
- It dispells your current weapon buff - probably the only real drawback to this art.

tl;dr use this with a STR scaling weapon, go boink with heavy jumping attacks

nice weapon for power stance - mantis gaming

Ok so, this skill power up your Next attack (during 10 sec) :
- Attack using R1 (Ligth attack & Sneak attack) : ~ +20%
- Attack using R2 ( Strong attack & Jump Attack) : ~ +60%

Submit

takes my damage from 228 to 366.. so a 60% increase in damage? It also survives "misses" but eventually expires, in about 11 seconds

Submit

what the hell it does?

Submit

Does this stack with Magic Buffs?

Submit

-using the ash of war fills you with determination-

Submit

could you put this on a weapon that has extra crit and use the extra dmg to for backstabs?
