Frenzied Burst | Elden Ring Wiki

If you need a safe way of killing Gideon and managing the fight once he starts spamming spells, look no further than this. You can snipe him from clear across the arena with it without him being able to land a spell

Great knife, kick aow, lightning ram aow, lifedrain aow, caestus, this incantation right here... and in-game contracts of killing people.

Yep, i'm playing as kano.

I've noticed that if you use this on the dragon with low health that's spamming the lighting bolts near the end of Crumbling Frarum Azula, he will fly away and not come back, or sometimes just disappear. He'll stay gone until you reload the area. idk if this is a bug or what.

Yay! A long-range spell for faith builds!!!

The incantation version of a high caliber sniper shot

this is bugged for me as it is doing 0 damage

Frenzied Railgun

range is much higher than comet, tied with loretta bow sorcery. High damage, penetrates enemies and shields, builds up frenzy in human npcs and can't be dodged on pve.

Very useful for shot down far enemies and the attack is almost unable to dodge

Submit

Randomally deleted both NG+ Moongrum and Gidion for about 18000 damage with 2 Charged Frenzied Bursts cast with a 301 Incant Scaling Dragon Communion Seal. No idea why it did so much, seemed almost like the Inescapable Frenzy One-Shot set up but with a piercing long ranged attack. Not exactly complaining but can't seem to replicate it against the Flame Guardians in the Guardians Garrison, so unsure why it happened at all, let alone twice now.

Submit

Absolutely shreds Crucible Knights with enough stat investment and the right distance. Pierces straight through shields. Might be one of the best spells in the game for dealing with tanky knights

Submit

Eye laser go Pew Pew

This spell is really good against Malenia's first phase on a faith build. She can't dodge it and she's too slow and passive to close the distance.

Submit

Like a weaker more maddening version of the bolt of gransax AAAHH MAY MADNESS TAKE THE WORLD!

Submit

Well, well, well... It looks like my Homelander build is finally coming together.

Submit

Applies 90 madness to a target with no arcane sigil, and 105 when charged. Unsure of the exact amount with arcane scaling as that'd be per-level.

Darkness + this = ghillie sniper

This incantation shoots further than Lightning Spear and does around the same amount of damage.

Has anyone noticed 'frenzied burst' is missing target locked enemies even if they are well within its range and not at a tricky elevation?

I know if an enemy changes their elevation either jumping down or jumping up to a ledge or whatever FB can miss, but I've never had it miss a mounted knight the way it has been earlier on today. I didn't think to keep count of the casts that hit and those that missed, but it wasn't the odd miss here and there it was missing three or four casts in a row. I'd appreciate it if anyone else who's been seeing it lose its pinpoint accuracy replied to this commentt.

Submit

not dropping from the teardrop scarab killed it like 5 times

Submit

This spell is responsible for the nerfing of the whole family. Seriously, only this spell and the fact that the madness affliction could be chained needed to be nerfed. No reduction on Frenzy build up from the Howl of Shabriri, Flame of Frenzy, and making Inescapable Frenzy do mediocre damage compared to how hard it is to land.

Submit

so lets look at the frenzy incantations, hmm...
we have: fire, scream, more fire, a grab, and barrett 50cal sniper rifle.

Submit

someone mentions frenzied burst no longer passing through one enemy to hit a target locked enemy behind it. I was farming for poison-blooms outside morne tunnel yesterday, target locking the giant flowers furthest from me then lining up so the frenzied burst would pass through one to hit the other. It definitely still works, I was casting from the same distance every time, to be sure the poison cloud AoE couldn't reach me, and it was consistently hitting both flowers in one cast and doing the same damage to both.

Submit

Starting a new pew pew character. Does arcane still affect this significantly when cast from the dragon seal? Or is it better just to double up on the frenzy flame seal for the extra 20%?

Submit

Pew pew

Submit

Works really well for farming the bird in moghwyn palace

Submit

One thing I just noticed that I haven't seen mentioned is hitting an enemy seems to reduce the range of the rest of the follow-through. I'm seeing this when farming the 3 Stormveil birds just outside Rampart Tower grace. When you leave the doorway, 2 of them are lined up. If you lock onto the furthest of the two and fire through the closer one, you won't hit the one you're locked to. But if you fire another from the same spot, you will hit it.

Submit

Really funny how after the fix I haven't seen a single person in pvp use this over like...what, 1000 fights? Looks like everyone only wanted a cheap stunlock to death and now no one cares about it. Still fun for pve tho.

Submit

Has slightly better range than lightning spear. Couldn't hit that Malformed Star in Altus Tunnel with LS but FB can hit it.

Submit

Snoipin's a good job m8

Submit

One of the best PvP sniping options - it scales well and is easy to stack damage boosts with, unlike greatbows/ballistas, the charging animation is easier to conceal than Loretta's Greatbow, and it's easier to aim than Cannon of Haima.

Submit

Even post nerf, If you spec completely into using this spell, it's insanely strong and really fun in PvE and PvP. Godfrey's Icon, Fire Scorpion, and Flock Canvas Talisman, will multiply the charged blast damage by a total of 40% on top of the innate 20% charged damage. Easily one shots unsuspecting targets from long distance

Submit

Insane all the people that wanted this nerfed when the ultimate counter for it was walking slowly to the left. Now it will continue to miss 96% of the time, and when it hits, won't do a damn thing.

Submit

They nerfed the least problematic OP thing in the game. Kinda odd, honestly. I used this quite a bit and it only worked like 20% of the time but over on my RoB account I edgewalk people and 1-2 shot entire groups.

Submit

LMAO total trash rn
4 shots to apply the crazi status, at 4 shots doing 600 dmg they r probably dead already,
Use madness spear, spears are totally broken in range and the status proc on them even if they are rolling
Yw

Submit

You can snipe that c*nt Miriam with it and proc Madness easily, too.

Submit

I wanted the arcane scaling boost gone as that trivialized pvp, but I don't think they should have nerfed the buildup on the spell itself. Previously, you were able to proc madness in two hits on every seal, aside from Dragon Communion Seal, and now it ranges from 3-4 to accomplish the same thing. The issue is that this spell isn't easy to hit twice to begin with, and the fact that you potentially must hit it four times makes it nearly impossible to pull off. The best fix would have to completely remove arcane adding madness but keep the spell as is, and in the best case scenario they figure out a way to make it not add madness on rolls.

Submit

so; this thing 2 shots Gideon after 1.04. Been a great way to farm runes lol

Submit

Snipin's a good job, mate

Submit

Still really good at PvE. You know how most minibosses have an AI that makes them dodge the moment you fire any projectile, even if it's as slow as Elden Stars?

This one spell breaks them, they just don't dodge it. They will, but right after being hit. Malenia takes it, even from across the arena and even when charged.

Submit

Given the spell's notoriety it was only a matter of time. I haven't tried the spell, ever, but i'll still go pick it up. The range and esthetics of it is still awesome. I'm glad unreasonably powerful stuff is nerfed, although i still want there to be a diverse meta; so if one powerful element of the game dwindles into obscurity I'd kinda want the same for everything else. Of course not everything can be meta as it ruins the satisfaction of progressing into something grand.

Submit

Pretty sure 1.04 patch ended the infinite. Good

Submit

the salt in these comments are why i use this spell

Submit

For PVP, around 400 Mind is needed to resist an uncharged 50 Arcane/30 Faith Frenzied Burst from the Dragon Communion Seal. If they have something like 80arc/80fai and charge it to full, you might need around 600 mind, although this is a massive investment in arcane/faith and charging it is not optimal in most situations. 425 mind will resist 99% of frenzied bursts, you just need the talisman and some fire prelate armour pieces.

Submit

friendly reminder to carry a backup carian retal shield/spell incase someone tries to stunlock you with this

Submit

Flaming sniper shot, absolutely wrecks human sized enemies, the range is massive, can be charged so it benefits from Godfrey's icon. Quite efficient damage to fp ratio and npc invaders don't know how to deal with it. S-tier incantation.

Submit

How much focus to resist the touch of death when they are building arcane with the dragon seal?

Submit

BEHOLD! OPTIC BLAST!

Submit

Doesn't drop from beetle? Where does it drop?

Submit

This spell is probably the most annoying thing to play against durring a gank. It didn’t used to proc full frenzy on hit before, now it can actually stunlock an opponent.

Submit

so many salty invader tears even when they themselves use this

Submit

Can some people test if 550 focus is enough to resist the infinite when the incantation is used by a player with dragon communion seal and high arcane?

Submit

Opinions aside, this spell is probably being nerfed in the future. If/when they do so, they will probably:

1. Nerf the cast speed so that it cannot stun lock. I feel like this would be a slap in the face towards PvE players though.

2. Nerf it’s madness buildup so that it requires to hits to proc madness. This one affects PvE a bit less bc there aren’t many tarnished enemies in the game. However, it would pretty severely affect its usefulness in PvP.

3. Allow it to be countered by carian retal. I don’t think this is a good option because it would essentially ruin the spell in PvP. It also fails to prevent the stunlock from going through immunity.

Overall, I think that the second option should be taken if it were to be needed. Mostly because PvE players make up the majority.

Submit

My only issue with this spell is that it seems bugged with arcane scaling, I have yet to find a focus level high enough that can prevent being immediately madness proc’d. I don’t have a way to test its actual upper limit, but with 50 ARC and a +10 dragon communion talisman, it can penetrate over 500 focus, without charging. This effectively means there is no counter to a madness loop (even a very specific setup) if you get hit by the beam due to latency, a mistake or you just didn’t see it coming. It can be spell parried, but if the latency isn’t working in your favor it can create a scenario where you still have madness proc, but no damage done and no special parry retaliation. It’s a shame, because it’s one of the best (if not the best) counters to Stars of Ruin and dragon breath spam and atm it’s just a scummy way to win.

Submit

As a scrub who can't pvp for **** this really helps me win against those invaders

Submit

does anyone know how much madness build up it does and if scaling chances it

Submit

Will Faithful/Flock’s Canvas talisman increase frenzied Burst?

Submit

Gotta love the folks who are so bad at the game, they have to spam this with their friends in pvp. Easy to dodge but not when your screen can only focus on one person. They should significantly reduce madness build up for pvp.

Submit

This things projectile speed is insane, paired with the fact that even if you roll it can still proc madness instantly, which will immobilize you long enough for the caster to charge up and fire another. I have been able to escape this loop a few times by being lucky enough to fall behind a rock or something, or miraculously spamming the dodge button and joystick might help (not confirmed, maybe i was just lucky)

Anyways catch someone off guard with this and its a free kill. Yes madness sniper builds are a thing. Dont feel bad if you die to this bs, its in league with the retaliation glitch tbh.

Submit

Special beam canon

Submit

You can argue the damage, range, buildup (even using the seal that isnt made for frenzy incants for more) is all working as intended.

And sure, you can "just strafe left", but there's no way you're telling me From made this and was like "yeah we want people to get stunlocked if they get hit once" smh

Submit

Having played many fights with this I don't think it's broken enough to warrant nerfing

When the spellcaster's head tilts back you have plenty of time before the head tilts forwards again to tap dodge. Approach them to psyche them out into using the spell earlier, but also to be a better view of the head whipping towards you.
Hope to use this spell myself sometime. Laser eyes look fun

Submit

Host was super sad when I deflected this with my carian retaliation and my blades one shot him. Ha.

Submit

Spam spam spam
Until you get a enemy stunlock
And then spam spam

Yeah, well done elden ring
Best pvp ever

Submit

So op if you stand still and let it hit you lmao

Submit

use this to deal with carian retaliation exploiters lol dumb rats

Submit

Ah the "if i can lock on it i can hit it" kind of spell. Super usefull to kill annoying enemies like birds of dogs in one cast before they even saw you.
And of course ITS LASER EYES COME ON, EVERYONE WANT TO SHOOT LASERS FROM EYES

Submit

lol its only really dangerous as a surprise attack in pvp but my god if it catches you off guard it really can 1 shot you

Submit

Incredible range, near instantaneous projectile speed, high damage and madness build up on the target makes this an essential spell for the faith caster. Also looks cool as hell.

Submit

if you get hit with this youre ****ed

Submit

can be boosted by 50% with oil pots (and any other fire boosts) for insane damage one-shots

Submit

FYI this is boosted by anything that boosts fire damage

Submit

By far one of my favourite incantations in the game. I know madness is mainly for pvp, but in pve this spell is spectacular. You can lock onto enemies from afar and snipe them. The damage is very respectable and the range is nearly limitless. Way better than lightning spear IMO.

Submit

"THIS SPELL IS TOO STRONG AND CAN INSTANT MADNESS IF YOU SPEC SOME WEIRD ARCANE FAITH HYBRID TO USE IT"

My brother in christ, just walk left and the spell will miss every time.

Submit

This is basically "blowing up your head with my mind"

Submit

Needs a nerf asap

Submit

worth the 22 faith and memory slot because it's such a good incantation in pvp. also glitched with dragon communion seal and arcane scaling at the moment.

Submit

Space Ripper Stingy Eyes!

Submit

Weapons and arts are but an opening act. True heroes kill with their EYESS!!!

Submit

Why though? Bloodhound Step & Inescapable frenzy is far more fun and people rarely see it coming though it may require a little more skill and effort to execute I suppose

Submit

I hope they don't nerf the frenzied flame spells. Sure, they're really really good in both PvP and PvE but if we start going down that road it'll just reduce the viable build pool.

Submit

BEHOLD!

Submit

using this to infinite stunlock is massive cope for a clear lack of skill

Submit

Ah yes, let's give a line of faith spells arcane scaling on their class-unique status effect, and let's not give it a cap. What could go wrong?

>months of madness-chain true combos ensue

Submit

I see that the community has graduated from pressing L2 on RoB to now one-shorting with this. How original

Submit

Arcane stat increase madness build up , if you have enough arc to one shot madness proc > you can stunlock kill in anyone in pvp.
Thanks to bad netcode , even you roll this still proc madness and get stunlock kill

Submit

So this is the Faith Variant of Loretta's Greathbow?

Submit

Hello there. For PVE, where madness build up is not important, whats the best way to increase the damage of this spell? Arcane or Faith? And which seal should i use?

Submit

Wht a yu gi oh card?!

I’m 500 level and this dump incantation one-shot me 90% of times.. we don’t tell u how to play but just play!
