Eclipse Shotel is a Curved Sword in Elden Ring. The Eclipse Shotel scales primarily with Faith and Dexterity and is a good Weapon for inflicting the death ailment upon foes followed by a flare if an additional input brings down the armament. 

 

Storied sword and treasure of Castle Sol that depicts an eclipsed sun drained of color. One of the legendary armaments.

In Sol, the sight of an eclipse inspires a dreadful awe, preventing an onlooker from averting his gaze.

      You know it's kinda sad to know this is only for pvp use full. Becease remember if elden ring has it's dlc released and a new soulsborne game comes out the pvp community in elden ring will leave with it. And if this game online wise, dies (hope if doesn't) then what was the point of this weapon when pvp is next to non existence?

        Odd that the AoW follow up attack is L2 again, I was pretty confused when trying to get R2 to follow up like Flaming Strike.

            Maybe not a great weapon, not even a good one, but it certainly strikes a certain type of fear in some players when they see the possibility of instant death. Although that fear is pointless if they opponent knows that the build up won’t happen.

            • Anonymous

              They should make it so that enemies that have taken any death blight buildup should have the death blight -death animation.
              That way, even if it doesn't proc (which is essentially all the time in PvP And PvE) it still feels somewhat rewarding for using the weapon or incantations.

              • Anonymous

                Here is an idea. In PVE when death blight procs, enemy has greatly reduces poise health and recovery. As enemy gets pulled by roots and their life being drained. On poise break, riposte damage increased by ~1.3, then effect dispels. Would help this fast weapon class to feel more heavy and fits thematically as you making a mercy kill. Also synergizes well with Guts cosplayers in your team.

                  It would be so cool to see bosses killed by death blight. If bosses had like 3000 death blight accumulation in order to proc the kill animation for death blight i think it would also be balanced enough. Let's say we give Eclipse Shotel like 50/75 death blight per hit. That would mean over 40 hits in order to proc and most bosses would already have low HP, so having a death blight animation on them would be so satisfying. For incantation, the number of DB per hit could be even lower, as well for pvp, so nobody gets one shot right away.

                    Best used against greatshield users and estus-chuggers
                    Since it pierces shields and deathblight ignores health

                      This is a tricky thing to balance since right now the deathblight buildup is so bad that you’ll almost never proc it on someone before killing them unless you use them unupgraded. On the other hand if they buffed the buildup then it could become way too OP since deathblight is an instakill. It is also a shame that deathblight has no use in PvE since enemies don’t get affected by it. I love the look of this weapon and the visual look of the deathblight however it just feels really weak right now even in PvP where this thing is supposed to shine due to deathblight.

                      • Anonymous

                        Feels like this thing should be an int weapon since most of the other death based tools scale better with int. I wanted to do a death based necromancer build at 125 but it’s very difficult to accommodate this on a build that uses death sorceries.

                          Not the worst for dealing holy damage with how it's buff works, but it does suck that Death Blight is such a bad status. Especially as someone who very rarely plays PvP, this thing's power is limited at best, even moreso compared to the other Legendary weapons.

                            With the Black Wolf Mask, some dark robe and dual Eclipse or regular Shotel, you can become death straight up XD

                              Cool weapon, unfortunately any decently upgraded shotel will just kill the host before the deathblight actually procs. Its honestly not a bad weapon in that regard either if you think it looks cool, its just not gonna deathblight particularly often. Even if you dual wield.

                                if they're heal spamming it dosent matter because you can eventually just instakill them after like 7 hits

                                  I think people got the wrong idea. Death bed companions are faith healers and the death blight forces people to create space for your casting/healing. It’s supposed to be very difficult to have death blight sword, death blight sorcery, death blight incantation without massive sacrifices to armor/mind or even hp. But... Imagine the synergy between a few shotel hits into death lightning into erdtree heal or honed bolt... a team fight simply doubles or triples your healing out put and the power of your elemental buffs. I’ve recently tested this in both duels and team fights and it’s pretty solid as dex/fth/mind RL125 team support and anyone curing death blight was countered with an erdtree heal, jump attack or honed bolt with gravel stone seal. If lhutel wasn’t always invisible and distracted, maybe I’d have even gotten some trees in spirit summon duels. The problem with lhutel is she doesn’t really protect me while I’m getting targeted by my opponent and his summons. My player team mates were much better at protecting me in team fights and opponents were often dumb enough to eat death lightning one shots. In duels, my opponents would rather run even when they know i heal, and I don’t care about their silly rules about “no healing miracles” from a game 10 years in the past.

                                    would be p e r f e c t is it caused its status effect a million times faster... currently takes about 23 to 30 hits (with two of 'em) to deathblight, or much, much, much more if cured... sadly its curable... ouch

                                      even if your opponent has less than minimum deathblight resistance (probably like 200 total) you'd need to be really aggressive and hit them 10 times to blight. Ain't no way.

                                      • Anonymous

                                        I wish that if it's already buffed, trying to use the weapon art just skips the buffing animation and goes straight to the explosion (With SOME windup, of course). Even if it doesn't extend the initial buff. With you already being more likely to kill them than death blight them, it could really use the ability to apply pure build up some way.

                                          I you want buildup purely, DO NOT DUAL WIELD! Not only will they die before the buildup procs, but due to the recent nerf powerstancing these inflicts a PITIFUL amount of buildup. i belive one running attack is around 3/4 of a typical running attack single handed in terms of buildup. youre better off with fias mist in your offhand. (you can use azur staff for faster casting, and you don't need to meet the requirements.)

                                              I've seen some disagreement on using this against fingerprint turtles, this is actually a great way to end the fight quickly as you will die much faster from trading with shield attacks due to thrust counters! Try it yourself next time you're being interrupted from severing!

                                                      To be honest i think this weapon was made for the chance you where unfortunate enough to encounter a infinite health hacker.

                                                      I was a victim of fighting sutch a hacker yesterday in elden ring. He was a blue summon, in a world of an afk farmer.

                                                      I attacked that basterd, he got staggered, but he couldn't be damaged.

                                                      So after eventually knowing i could inflict any damage i remembered this weapon was in the game that could 1 shot people with it's status effect.

                                                      Used it against the pathetic hacker, and he died by the status effect the poor fool.

                                                      He even rage mailed me and calling me a cheater LMAO.

                                                        Has excellent base damage. So I tried a 99 vigor raw build stacking all life boost on mausoleum armor and using fias mist when I need to rebuff. The damage was good but I only procced death twice while dueling. I bet if I had two shotels I could’ve gotten tons of death blight. I got close on a ton of people and could tell by how passive/cowardly they became. Anyways the weapon is very good and the ash does good dmg if used properly. I can’t say that the death blight build up needs a buff... it’s instant death lol and I bet two would be disgusting... but I think hitting someone with the L2 should do way more death blight.

                                                          deathblight needs a buff, i have never been deathblighted by a player and its effects can be negated with a bolus that takes a second to use, you might get hit while using it but the alternative is death. the duration on this is way too short and im able to kill people with it normally before the deathblight procs. meanwhile players with 60 arcane and double sepuku can instantly bleed me for 90% of my health, might as well be deathblight at that point.

At least it's always stronger than a Sacred Shotel, but really I can't think of why you would use one besides chipping a Fingerprint Stone, and there are better tools for that job.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    It's a good weapon to kill people with, but to try and fill up the meter you need to do 2 times the explosion weapon art in someones face. and that animation is slow as hell and doesn't give you hyper armor! And after that you might be able to death blight a person after 2-3 hits with it. So in pvp It's not worth it in trying to use it against someone for the status effect.

                                                                    Hope the dlc makes us able to use a better weapon for the status effect.

I wish this weapon in PvE would do some sort of animation of leave some deathroot effects on enemies so that it FEELS like I'm Wielding a weapon that really inflicts deathblight.

                                                                            Also, I have no frickin' idea how its damage is calculated. I was fighting Hoarax Loux with two of these, both with their Death Flare skill, and jump attacks were cracking 1.5k with claw talisman and raptor body, which is numbers I usually see from greatswords/hammers when a boss doesn't resist an element. Hoarax Loux resists holy, which this shotel deals, but somehow they didn't care about..? At this point, don't expect to actually get Deathblight off on anything, but on a 50/50 dex/faith build, these things hit pretty respectfully.


                                                                            Don't expect to Deathblight anything without some bug helping you, even with two shotels, my buddy dies with 50% blight buildup, but something's up with this thing's damage.

I tested it on NG+ with an unupgraded Eclipse Shotel on the smoldering church invasion, I got the death blight particle effect to play twice, but even after hitting her a few dozen times it never actually killed her.

It's not useless for phantoms that are otherwise practically immortal at low levels, and people don't really carry the boluses to heal this status effect =)

Just seems like having two Shotel making a full loop would fit, and being legendary, it'd help it stand out. I understand the balancing issue with it building up death blight, but honestly, I doubt it would be any worse than the Madness spells, Moonveil/RoB Spammers, or Great shield users. And just like with Madness, I don't see why this couldn't be a useful status effect against certain enemies. It isn't like Bleed and Rot aren't over there wrecking shop.

                                                                                    • Anonymous

It's damage and scaling are average at higher levels in late game, it's fast, and the weapon art adds damage and a second tap can do an explosion that does pretty good damage if timed well. I don't think its bad for exploring or for bosses weak to holy. Definitely not the one weapon to carry you through the game but ok for the curved sword category. A lot of the comments focus on death blight, and agree that this isn't worth anything in PVE and probably not practically useful in PVP. But compared to the smaller weapons, it looks great and performs all right. I still enjoy carrying this around with my dex/faith build - even if I switch to Godslayer Greatsword for bosses.

In fact I believe every single one is immune which means that the only relevant thing the effect will proc on are players, and if that's your goal Bleed does almost the same thing in two hits.

                                                                                                    Really cool looking weapon, but very mediocre in actual use.

I know that you are almost never supposed to proc the status effect, as that would be absurd if you could consistently, but the only way to sometimes proc it is when you are powerstancing it with another. The big issue is that the buff only lasts 30 seconds, and the animation itself takes a decent bit of time, quickly ticking away at your time before you need to buff both of them again. I think the best way to buff this would be to nerf the deathblight build up by about 25% so it still does almost as much as it does now, but increase the duration to around one minute.

                                                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                                                        Useless. Useless useless useless! Come on FROSO, use your fking head for once, give us something that sounds cool that isn't a total let-down

                                                                                                          the ptsd buildup shines in pvp tho.

HOWEVER, this thing is a godsend for dealing with constant heal hackers and - more importantly - TANK BUILDS. see someone with that pesky fingerprint shield, walking at you all smug and confident? pull this thing out and insta kill them after about 9 hits. what's better is that death buildup decreases very slowly, so you don't need to apply as much pressure as you would to try and bleed or frost them. the major downside is the 30 faith requirement, but if you run 25 faith like me for golden vow and a few other incantations you can just switch to this and equip the two fingers heirloom talisman for that extra 30 faith. very niche and circumstantial, but fills that niche better than any other weapon in the game.

The buff only lasts for 30 seconds, the status doesn't build up quickly, and the weapon art is slow/telegraphed and has a tiny/short ranged hitbox. Out of 50 or so invasions, I've had maybe 1 where the status effect was remotely useful, most of the time you'll kill a target with damage before blight. The only way you'll get it to work is to land the weapon art and abuse phantom hits.

                                                                                                                I'd recommend keeping a weapon in your second slot that is actually good in case you aren't up against complete clowns.

                                                                                                                • I like this weapon a lot. The curved sword moveset is really good for applying statuses; jump and dash attacks hit 4 times. My only complaints are that the buff is too short (should be like 60 seconds) and that using death spells like fia's mist or death lightning removes the buff since you have to switch. Like let me cast death magic only straight from the sword. And why is there a timer for buffs AND they're removed on weapon switch? Why is there a level limit on summons AND scaling? Sometimes this feels like a PS2 game

Obviously that's going to take you to NG+1 or a friend can drop it to you. Deathblight applies really fast on players. It's a PvP weapon, not a PvE. And while yes, the range is low, you don't have to go meta to be a killing machine with this one. I would take this over dual Frostbite/Bleed anyday.

Really Deathblight was more of a thing but good luck getting a proc in pvp, weapon will kill before that happens and the death spells that have the status are eh.
