Golden Retaliation | Elden Ring Wiki

It also scales with upgrading the shield

I feel like they designed this attack to keep people from cheesing the first tree sentinel with magic right out the gate. And I love that.

I'd like it if you could put that on all greatshields. Would make it slightly easier to fool magic users into a false sense of security.

i did some testing regarding the range, max damage (fall off) and how much of a difference the "arrows's reach" talisman does:

units are in medium backsteps:

ca. 4 backsteps from the target it reaches the max damage
with the arrow's reach talisman that is extended to ca. 6 and a half backsteps
while the projectile itself travels max 8 and a half backsteps

so basically:
2 backsteps from its max reach towards the target are enough with the arrow's reach talisman to get max damage
otherwise 4 backsteps and a half are needed

also for damage comparison:
1239 was for me the max damage
743 was the min damage
also it did ca. 825 at the point where it would reach max damage with the arrow's reach talisman

Doesn't work on ice spear weapon art. But works on reduvia

You could turn this into a wombo combo discus is very cheap send it out hit comes back hit parry the discus n boom another hit

Submit

God I wish that other Erdtree great shields could reflect this. Ping pong for days boys

Submit

I don't understand the part about triple rings of light, what would be the point of parrying my own incantations?

Submit

Is it known if the skill is activated by melee-based spells? I know the wiki specifies projectiles but I think additional clarifying would help. Such as carian slicer, gavel of haima, or ancient dragon lightning spear. I'll test it later if I get the chance and update accordingly. If it doesn't proc off of those types, the gavel of haima might be a good counter if you can hit it as it recently got increased stamina damage against blocking opponents.

buffed now that discus only costs 3 fp

Submit

Has anyone been brave enough to try this against bolt of gransacks?
If so, does it work?

Submit

Golden Retaliation does scale with Strength and Faith after testing.
Arrow’s Reach Talisman also affects the damage falloff of the projectile, though Arrow’s Sting does not boost damage.

Submit

Does it work against carian slicer?

Submit

What is the timing on this? I tried several times in pvp and it never worked. Is there a patch that messed with its moonveil counter?

Submit

If this is used against Elden Beast, does he regain his health? (Given it is holy damage)

Submit

Can it intercept dragon breath attacks? Or bestial incantations, such as bestial sling or rock throw? Since, well, they are projectiles, even though they are physical.

Submit

So we can get a magic version of this, Carian Retaliation, which scales with INT but it is also an ash if war so you can put it on any shield and also give better INT scaling through the same ash of war. But a faith build has to pump 30 points into STR to use this. Cool

Submit

Does upgrading the shield improve the damages of the GOLDEN RETALIATION ?

Submit

is it just me or does this shield shoot a golden projectile regardless of parrying spells?
saw some ridiculous golden beams hitting me for 800 a piece from a guy without actually using spells on them

Submit

Golden retaliation also works while you're poisoned! Interesting...

Submit

Does this WA work against Moonveil WA? Cuz if it does... hihi watch out dual katana invaders

Submit

Anyone know if this scales with faith or int?

Submit

Apparently this can be combined with Fire's Deadly Sin to replicate the Crystal Ring Shield's ranged attack from DS1.
