Heavy Thrusting Swords | Elden Ring Wiki

poise damage probs needs a little nerf. in pvp you can basically win any trade just by spamming heavy attacks

Submit

If you like thrust-pierce from these swords and collossal weapons but cant decide? Try the pickaxe! Its a greathammer but can be power stanced with greataxes. Wtf?!

Submit

Im literally only summoning guys using these just to get good at fighting against these weapons. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIGHT! on the same level as crouch pokers. running attacks and crouch pokes should take more stamina change my mind.

dual straight swords gets band while heavy thrusting swords stay on with status effects

how to win every pvp encounter: apply royal knights resolve, running r2, running r2, running r2, running r2, running r2...

I love how people come to the comment section to dislike comments talking about how heavy thrusting swords being silly.

Submit

thank god theres no talisman that improve running attacks

Submit

I want more slashing attacks from these, thats why I only use great epee. Cragblade looks like a great spear, Helice is a bl**d weapon and Stitchers Heavy attacks are thrusts. Hopefully we will get more weapons from this class with better heavy attacks.

Submit

Literally worse than DS3 straight swords. Excellent balance as always, From

Submit

spears but more annoying to fight in every way

Submit

This weapon class is the best thing ever happened in eldenring pvp not against even if its 2v1 just put flaming strike ngl its not easy to play with but its halla fun

Submit

They gave phantom range a weapon class

Submit

I honestly don't like to fight against these weapons. they're just a tad less annoying than crutchpoke.

Submit

slap glintblade phalanx on these with a cold infusion + powerstance with cold stitcher, add a potato, and baby youve got a stew going

Submit

PvP on ez mode. I love using this when i just want to play casually

Submit

tragically low number of weapons in this category, still fun though

Submit

Pumped I finally have confirmation that I'm not crazy and the stitcher is slightly short than the helice

Submit

No skill ahead, therefore don't do it!

Submit

My favorite weapon class for PvP so far. The running R2 feels unfair and hard to outspace under poor netcode, but it's actually very telepgraphed so could easily be reaction-rolled. In fact, if you spam the running poke too much, the relatively long R2 recovery means that you can easily be punished by equally good setups (e.g. halberd running R1, flaming strike, offstoc). The true strength of this weapon class lies on its (2h) jumping R1 which true combos into another R1. Unparryable, Good poise damage, fast jumping R1 recovery, great damage when it combos, covers great distance, can jump over poke attack, and can be slightly timed for roll-catching. This is why you should do a lot of hopping with these weapons instead.

Submit

are these good for PvE?

Submit

This is the weapon for phantom range wins. The tracking on these is superb to every other weapon in this game with those run in stabs. Players can be way outside the visual cue and still get hit with these weapons and especially the bloody helice dodge attack. The tracking will be no where near the player and still hit.
Phantom range King.

Submit

This really need to be toned down. It’s just a spear that’s as fast as a rapier but as long as a spear. Plus it can double attack with no weapon art.

Submit

Am I the only one who thinks that the running r2s are easy to dodge?

Submit

This weapon class should do same amount of poise damage as smaller weapons such as swords, katanas and maces. Literally same swing speed if not faster, greater reach and damage. And yeah, have you guys seen the 2h combo speed? You cannot even roll attack punish, the time between attacks in combo is too little to do that. And you cannot outspace it with anything short of some longer spear or great spear. Just another example of great Fromsoft balancing.

Submit

I've mastered parrying this class because people just spam the same move.
If it had more recovery, then itd be more balanced. Till then, if you wanna use thrust, this is pretty much the only class you need.

Submit

fun new tech, running heavy attack can be performed while running backwards. just spin unlocked camera in a 360 and in the middle of it hit the running attack. precise to hit but potential is to be had

Submit

The entire weapon class needs nerfs across the board. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for the flail weapon class to be so inexcusably bad when you have weapons like heavy thrusting swords with absolutely NO downsides to using. Fantastic range, great damage, ridiculous phantom range, good stam consumption, good rollcatches, etc. There is currently no downside to using these crutch weapons right now.

Submit

How do you parry the goddamn running R2? I legitimately cannot fathom this ****. Maybe I need to do some testing

Submit

Please address the stupid ass running heavy hitboxes that are nearly three times longer than the actual weapon model

Submit

I hate how op these weapons are, I feel bad whenever I use them or fight them

Submit

Spear 2.0 with that running R2 range

Submit

the hitbox on the running r2 phantom hits more often than any other weapon move in the whole game

Submit

Best weapon type in the game if you like jump attack. The recovery and stagger are just way too good.

Submit

Recently noticed heavy thrusting swords (or at least the helice) have a neat heavy attack cancel by pressing backstep 2ce, haven't found much use for it though

Submit

I've never seen anybody use a thrusting or heavy thrusting sword as of 200 hours in

Submit

is there such a thing as a heavy thrusting sword in real life

Submit

Running R2 on these should definitely be nerfed just make it travel less far and then it would be fine.

Submit

The first heavy thrusting sword was the dragon kings cragblade I did it know the others existed

Submit

Spacing? What's that?

Submit

The running R2 needs nerfed, its pretty stupid as is but if you throw in lag you get people hitting you like a solid 3 meters past the weapons tip.

Submit

All of these are bugged or the servers are trash (which they are): If you jump over them in pvp when they do a stab animation, they still hit you in mid-air, clearly over the weapon, and give you enough debuff in value of 3 normal hits. BS, if you use these, stop it.

Submit

the true form of the ds2 rapier

Submit

I'm worried they're going to nerf these, due to them being so good at poking those late game enemies which are always lunging half a room away after every attack ._.

Submit

I'm not sure what they had in mind when they were balancing the heavy thrusting swords but they are absolutely cracked. They all have good reach, good damage, really good running attacks, and have posture damage that easily outpaces almost every weapon in the game. Powerstance these and I guarantee you that you will quickly posture break almost anything.

Submit

Godskin Stitcher + Cold Bloodhound's Step + MAX: Dex, Strength, and Int = INSANITY

Submit

These have crazy running heavy attacks. You warp forward like a meter or two. It's pretty good in PvP.

Submit

Running R2, shield pokes, insane tracking on circle strafing opponents. Godlike.

Submit

On all tables except "base" the Great Epee has 124 CRI dmg. I have not tested myself but I believe it's not the case or that would be insane...

Submit

As a low dex mage, I never really thought this class of weapons was for me but after trying the bloody helice I'm a fan.

Submit

is it just me or is the 1 handed moveset better than powerstancing them or 2 handed even? atleast for pvp

Submit

The longest heavy thrusting sword has less reach than an estoc due to the lack of movement when attacking, not to mention repeating r1 is pretty slow. The only advantage is the running attacks and maybe poise damage(?), but these are still outclassed by most things on base moveset alone.

Submit

they absolutely trash any lance/spear. What were they thinking with this goofy stuff, there's literally 0 reason to use the lances now

Submit

heavy thrusting "swords" > any spear, change my mind.

Submit

So it looks like there are three different heavy attack styles in this weapon class. Great Epee has wide swipes, regardless of charge. Godskin Stitcher has a double hit when charged. And Helice and Cragblade will move the user forward when the heavy attack is charged, giving it deceptive reach. They all seem to have the same light attack combo, though.

Submit

only FOUR HEAVY THRUSTING SWORDS in this game?

Submit

Great épée is way better than bloody helice : adaptable (you can change the element), deal twice the amount of blood status effect, lighter, and available within the 10th first minutes of the game. only drawback : raw damage is slightly weaker (but better stat scaling) when imbued... and Bloody Helice looks really, really good.

Submit

are these parriable when twohanded in pvp? BC if not then these are just better spears . . .

Submit

At what point does a heavy thrusting sword become a spear? Lol

Submit

We could really use more heavy thrusting swords
