Hand-to-Hand Arts | Elden Ring Wiki

I LOVE how many physical damage buffs these can be stacked with. Axe Talisman, Claw Talisman, Winged Sword Talismans/Milicent's Prosthesis, Shard of Alexander, and Shattered Stone can all find homes on builds. Throw Swaddling Cloth in there for good measure. In fact there's almost too many, which I think is a great problem to have. It helps immensely that strike damage is arguably the best physical damage type. Genuinely, if FromSoft has any plans for future DLC (though I doubt they do), then elemental hand-to-hand is near the top of my wish list. Like, come on: Fire fists, Stormcaller kicks, Ghostflame, the list goes on.

theres 2 of these and im willing to bet while theres no difference in stats they have the exact same moveset

Submit

Everyone was calling these dex weapons before the DLC even dropped only for it to turn out that both of them get an A in STR.... guess I gotta respec now

Submit

They must have the worst riposte multiplier in the game.
The riposte does as much damage as like 2 r1s,so try to spam charged heavy or weapon art when you down an enemy instead

Submit

i forgot ranni's set only works with sorceries, so i made a frostbite ninja ranni cosplay thinking it'd scale the cold infusion, and now that i remember how things work it's too funny to switch to something that actually works. kung fu jumpkick ranni is the second funniest build i have ever seen only after the almighty lightning ram. highly recommended

Submit

should i go bleeding or frosting ?

should i go bleeding or frosting ?

Submit

They couldve made more hand to hand weapons like the madding hand or poison fist but nah

Submit

I was so excited for these new weapon types, until I saw how few weapons there are per new category. Of all the new weapon types, Hand-to-Hand was the one that I was most excited for, and also the one that got stiffed the hardest. What do you mean there's only 2 Hand-to-Hand weapons, who are both kind of similar, and one of them you literally can't get until right before the final boss of the game?? Why?

Submit

These need buffed. look cool but are so weak

Submit

Really fun powerstanced. Recommend feet in lefthand slot

Submit

What is the difference between the two?

Submit

You can’t put parry on these. It makes me sad.

Submit

i can finally complete my cammy build

Submit

You should use this with Godfrey and Alexander talisman, with 600 AR I dealt 3k+ DMG, and with rotten wing insignia I dealt 4k+ in a combo, The double charged attack also deal nice poise DMG thanks to powerstance which is only available for fists and claws when using heavy attacks

Submit

Tifa and Yuji builds are gonna go crazy with these lmao.

Submit

These need more poise damage.

Takes far too many heavy attacks in a row to stagger anything.

I test my poise damage builds against the golems outside the Lift of Dectus ... The halberd Golem is 2/3 dead before the first poise break.

Really under-whelming imo. I wanted to love these.

Submit

A-TO-MIC KA-RATE!

Submit

****ing finally. Bone fist but not in the clunkiest souls game. i cant wait to find these

Submit

Yuji build?

Submit

The riposte is the visceral animation from Bloodborne!

Submit

These could've been fist weapons just like how cleavers are axes, that eight weapon types thing is a marketing stunt lmao. I'm not judging these TWO weapons, they're great actually. But when you say there's an entire new weapon class coming about hand to hand combat my expectations included different kinds, no such thing is here.

Submit

mid damage? screw that! I finally got my cool martial art fist weapon since bone fist from ds2!

Submit

Was super hype for this weapon so I made a fist only character and used the star fists for most of the base game. Got the Dryleaf arts and was a bit disappointed. This weapon class is probably okay, it's just that the fist does wayyyy more damage in comparison. They probably work better for bleed build that pure strength

Submit

For those complaining about the lack of variety, remember "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

Submit

Poisoned Hand is a fist weapon, not a hand to hand weapon

Submit

kinda sad. was planning on making my entire builds on hand to hand but these both are pretty mid.

Submit

There is only two of these for anyone wondering. It's sad but atleast they exist as an option

Submit

ATOMIC KARATE

Submit

rocking this, the goldmask top, and rennala's pants for my Juri cosplay build

Submit

damage is a lil disappointing imo and compared to spiked caestus and star fists, not only does it lack innate status, it can't be buffed with weapon buffs i.e. flaming strike, bloodflame blade while having weaker damage than the two fist weapons mentioned

the moveset is sick though and the default ash hits like a truck and has hyperarmor

overall i like it for regular enemies, but for bosses it doesn't have much going for it over fist weapons

Submit

This is it; they have already uploaded all the weapons.

Submit

You can walk around the castle Ensis and get the Dryleaf Arts without fighting any boss. There is a path east (slightly southeast) of the castle front site of grace that will have you go down to a valley and go back up through some spiritsprings.

Submit

guys the dlc came out today give them time to find the damn things don't just say "damn just two weapons" like of course not they just haven't found them yet

Submit

Guys the DLC just dropped, Fextra probably just hasn’t made the articles for all of the new weapons yet

Submit

that's it? there's only 2 martial arts weapons?

Submit

i really wish there were more than 2…

Submit

the fact that the one in the wiki "dryleaf arts" has arts at the end of the name makes me wonder if the moveset is unique for each one, would be cool but i doubt

Submit

lets run the fade Godfrey

Submit

I will protect the North Star code!

Submit

I feel like this should be a Sandscript weapon. After all everyone will be throwing these hands...

Submit

These weapons could deal the same damage as a torch and I'd still use them for the whole game just because of the moveset. Time to hang up the caestus and claws.

Submit

Wonder if I can fight with my head using DryScalp arts

Submit

these will most likely be quality.

Submit

Are these going to be dex or strength

Submit

Ninja turtle build incoming! — The Fist of Fury

Submit

Please let me have Horrah Loux's move set!

Submit

I think hand-to-hand is not really the correct term for these, since it encompasses close quarters/melee combat, including one using weapons

Submit

Capoeira MUST be in this DLC!

Submit

Let's gooo!!!! I want the dragon style

Submit

TOGETHAAA!

Submit

YES FINAALY MARTIAL ARTS

Submit

The first one of these I find, I'm gonna slap Golden Slam on it and finally complete my hamon training.

Submit

Bring back the DS2 Bone Fist

Submit

YALL AIN'T READY FOR THE HANDS BETWEEN

Submit

Are you ready to catch these hands?

Submit

Grab attack that is a powerbomb is what I want.

Submit

Submit

Man, doesn't *anyone* have some kind of leak? Like all I want are the stat requirements of some of the weapons so I know what to start building for :')

Submit

FEEL THE HEAT

Submit

Yujiro Hanma Build

Submit

the reddit weapon category

Submit

I hope we get ridiculous **** like a gravity martial art that covers your fists with rocks and you attack like falling meteorites or something. It would be boring if these only had regular martial arts

Submit

i'm hoping it will be possible to one-hand these and have a different weapon in the other hand

Submit

The fight with Alexander in Farum Azula about to turn into a real knockout bout...

Submit

Lmao imagine they add a Brazilian jujitsu hand to hand art where your character butt shuffles along the floor till the enemy/boss gets bored to death

Submit

They should add a boxing art where the charged heavy attack applies instant sleep status effect

Submit

Finally, actual one punch man...

Submit

if they don't got a hadouken like bonefist I'm refunding

Submit

My list:
- Bone fist
- Senpou Temple Monk (Fist) moveset from Sekiro.
- Hoarah Loux moveset

Submit

save me bone fist dark souls 2 moveset save me bone fist dark souls 2

Submit

Here's to hoping we'll fight like Hoarah Loux! Then we'll all be able to cosplay as the Elden Lord!

Submit

You were at my side all along, my guiding bone fists from ds2!

My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious.

Submit

AAATOOOOMIIIC
KA RA TE

Submit

My oh my

Submit

I really hope there are multiple of these all with unique animations. There is a lot of potential for this weapon type.

Submit

I really hope these give the ability to judo throw (I forget the technique name) opponents grab attacks with these

Submit

Hurrah for Bone Fist!

Submit

U could say that these weapons will hit hard and fast...like a dragon

Submit

Between this, the perfume bottle, and the throwing weps, seems like fromsoft is loosening up their definition of 'weapon.' for one, it looks like using consumables as weapons is now a completely inferior and counterproductive option, when you have the 'weapon' that throws an infinite amount and only uses stamina. these changes may come with their own limitations which we will have to see when the dlc releases, but for now the DLC weapons feels like complete endgame weapons like in Terraria - totally, unabashedly powerful.

Submit

imma need these NOW

Submit

I’m excited for this weapon Class I Hope we can Suplex someone with a weapon skill. I also hope tho that these are Balanced in pvp cause it can Go from cool Martial arts Tourney too BS Back flip Tripple kick Stunlock

Submit

Just give me Horah Loux's smash and bash style of fighting and I can die happy.

Submit

Bleed versions of these would be OP
