Law of Regression | Elden Ring Wiki

law of framerate deletion

Submit

Kinda hurts to sacrifice a memory slot as a mage for this incantation, but something like barrier of gold is too dangerous of a buff unless you wanna run around passively for its entire duration. Also you'll lose all trades with your magic infused weapons, so do yourself a favour and equip this incantation and perhaps even use another memory slot for Bestial Vitality.

Submit

This thing needs either a range, poise or speed buff. The animation is slow enough so that if your opponent has any ranged ash of war, it will cancel you out of it, since it does not give you any poise boost while casting it.

Its the same speed as Barrier of Gold, and the only counter to it if you're a mage, but different from BoG, it gives NO extra poise while casting, and you need to get in range, as the AoE isn't really all that big

Submit

Thats a nice set of buffs you got there. Would be a shame if someone were to...... regress it.

Submit

There was a colosseum match where my opponent cast Barrier of Gold and I cast this spell. What happened next is we tried to override each other's spell the whole match lol.

Submit

The God damn soreseal only grants 3 points....so **** this bullshit

Submit

Hilarious that people complain about this spell and its quest still.

You can reach the requisite intelligence to cast it for the quest using only equipment and buffs. Glintstone crown, stargazer heirloom, intelligence-knot physick, grafted greatsword's oath of vengeance, godrick's great rune. You don't need to respec at all.

Secondly, the two Laws of Golden Order require only intelligence, not faith. It's a sort of gradient between pure faith (most incants), faith/int (Golden Order and its polar opposite, Death), and pure int (Fundamentalist laws). The closer you get to the laws, the less it is about believing in the source of the power and the more it is about understanding it. Goldmask upsets Corhyn by doubting "the holism of the Golden Order"; he didn't believe in it, he was only trying to understand it. And when he figured it out, the faith-driven Corhyn called him a madman.

Submit

37 int requirement for a GOLDEN ORDER INCANTATION which by the way is MANDATORY TO COMPLETE THE PERFECT GOLDEN ORDER ENDING, with no faith requirement at all, unlike almost if not every single other Golden Order Incantation, and on top of that a completely useless one outside of just progressing Golden Mask's questline for the Perfect Golden Order ending... sounds like a blatant waste of a Larval Tear that could be way more useful, way to give us players a middle finger yet again Masozaki...

I'm not mad this requires 37 INT. I'm mad it requires ONLY INT. Every Golden Order spell should just have had dual INT/FTH requirement

Submit

This would be alot cooler of it worked like anti magic field from demon's souls preventing any buffs within a certain area of effect for certain amount of time.

Submit

can it reveal Rya's true form?

Submit

From google-- Regression: 'a return to a former or less developed state'. From da wiki-- 'Nullifies any Sorceries or Incantations that are already active, like a Lightning Spear that's mid-flight.' It's a big old "No" spell. Reverts things back to zero. Eliminates what has happened. Gold. Quite an experience to get it. Requiem.

Submit

Based on the definition of this spell, I think it would be not only plausible but also more viable for it to also have an effect on the mimic tear.

"Heals all negative statuses, dispels special effects, and reveals mimicry in all its forms."

It could dispel the mimicry of mimic tears in the eternal cities and could also be a viable option in PVP arenas where you could dispel the mimic tear spirit summon, or transform it back into its ooze like true form. This would be a much needed buff for a very cool but otherwise suboptimal spell and a much needed nerf for a very VERY powerful spirit summon.

Submit

I recon this should of had an awkward stat requirement for everyone including Int users. Something like 18 int , 18 faith , 18 arcane. Or perhaps something alot different like a high mind requirement (now available to all at a price). That way its a reward for making a none meta build instead of giving int users a free pass. Love the addition of this spell in general though. Cuts through so much BS

Submit

This should have nothing to do with INT, it literally looks like a Faith ability

Submit

it's too slow and way, way too fp consuming... it's as if anything that has INT in it, it's 90% of the time going to be useless or incredibly underpowered vs Faith.

Block all buffing consumables in pvp and problem solved. Buff builds still work but you don't need to grind to win. It will also save time in fights - you don't need to waste time on buffing or run around for buffs to expire. Blocking all consumables might be an option as well

Submit

About the progression guide for low int characters... Marika's Soreseal is in Haligtree. If you burn the tree, you can't do the quest. So you're at 31 int after all of that.

of all the people who could've gotten the "lmao no buffs", why the int nerds? magic damage is already overblown insane.

Submit

Is there a range on this? or will this cure a poisoned invader across the map for example

Submit

do you need the INT to remove buffs from people?

Submit

For the cost and time it takes to cast this, I wish that this incantation had a lingering effect preventing buffs from being used for at very least a short time after being cast, since it's pretty easy to just reapply buffs right after it being cast, and by the time you finish the animation and are able to do something again, an opponent could have easily reapplied their buff of choice effectively making it pointless.

Submit

For what little it's worth, you don't need to use the FF Seal to cast incantations you don't meet the requirements for. You can cast spells without meeting the requirements of your casting tool as long as you meet the requirements for the spell. If you had 1 faith, you could successfully cast this with the Erdtree Seal with its full effect.

Submit

i cast this on an invader right after they drank their physick, i died shortly after but my host got them in time for me to see them die, pretty fun times!

Nothing like the debuff that gets you stuck in animation long enough for your opponent to recast one buff and hit you before you can move...

Biggest complaint: Doesn't dispel glintblade phalanx's or similiar, or terra magica for that fact despite the wiki stating it gets rid of sorcs and incants that are active.

'But if you cast that spell we would both be without buffs and our builds wouldn't work!', shouted the Bullgoat. 'lol', said his opponent, 'lmao'.

From a pvp perspective this is golden. The thing is DMG stack compared to def stack is towering... I wish it was much lower skill point demand, it should be, but it is powerful so that's fair I guess. Anyone that whines about it needs to realize DMG stack is more than enough to slap people very hard. Idc how you try to justify it as a fellow min maxer I'm saying you don't need the buffs anyways because we're all walking bazookas. Anyone who taints their DMG output to use this has every right to rip someone's buff stack off. In ds3 it didn't stop people from weapon when you threw charms(for those oh they made it high requirement cause ds3 charms were busted), it's a fair skill. Should be cheaper, would like to see it more..
Yours truly, A min maxer who don't waste time buffing

It is possible to cast this with 7 base intelligence as a prophet and even as a level 1 Wretch with 10 intelligence, so you don't have to undergo rebirth to further the related quest.

Stargazer Heirloom +5 int
Marika's Soreseal/Scarseal +3/5 int
Godricks Great Rune +5 int
Intelligence Knot Tear +10 int
Twinsage Glintstone Crown +6 int
Grafted Blade Greatsword: Oath of Vengeance Ash of War gives the last +5 int
You need 28 STR / 14 Dex to two hand the sword and use this WA.
This can be achieved with Godricks Great Rune, Radagons Soreseal, the Starscourge Heirloom, and the Strength Knot Crystal Tear for +25 Strength and +10 Dex.

Submit

Here's the reason this costs 37 Intelligence: In Dark Souls 3, Duel Charms were a throwable item that stripped almost all buffs from the target and stopped them from casting any other buffs for 5 seconds afterward, and they could be bought for 500 runes and were in infinite supply. Thus, literally everyone used them and any build that even thought about using buffs were made entirely pointless because an item that literally anyone can use will invalidate the entire reason to even make a buff build. Even people who didn't plan around using buffs got screwed over because they now couldn't even use a ****ing Green Blossom or Pine Resin without someone chucking a Duel Charm at them.

This was their attempt at a solution to this problem: give it an actual cost. You now need to actually invest into countering buff builds. Are the requirements a little too high? I think so, probably yes, especially because of how potent and accessible buffs are in this game, Boiled Crabs and Exalted Flesh are premium buff items that would be worthy of being Duel Charmed. I'd be fine with this getting an Int requirement reduction to around 25, but any lower than that and, well, what's the point in having buff items in the game if you can't use them?

This spell requires intelligence rather than faith because Fundamentalism is theology/religious philosophy rather than blind belief. The highest order Fundamentalist incantations, the Laws of Causality and Regression, require no faith, only intelligence. You do not need to believe in the divine to understand it.

Submit

PvP badly needs a Duel Charm (DS3) to remove all buff effects from enemies. It's ridiculous that this enchantment that requires 37 intelligence is the only way to remove buff effects.

They might have lowered the int requirement due to it's mainly being used in pvp. Don't understand why people are so obsessed with their 5% pvp buffs (beside barrier of gold and black flame protection) or just eating another piece of crab. But would have like to use it against some bs flasks like infinite equipment load one...

Submit

1. Use regen buff to bait enemy to use flask 2. Use this 3. Flask up 4. Have Placidusax's Ruin incantation for finisher 5. You just dealt 1500-2000 damage to the other player if they were using regen tear and second chance and you still got yours. Definitely one of the PvP builds in elden ring.

I love thr concept of fundamentalism. The whole faith/intelligence thing is really cool. The issue i have is that there isn't a lot you can do with the hybrid stats besides meet requirements. The golden order seal and death staff are the only things that utilize both (please correct me if im wrong) and even at that, healing spells and possibly all others outside the fundamentalist incantations won't even utilize the int portion of the spell buff. If all I got was a quality version of the int/fth stats for weapon affinities, id be content. But all we get is sacred, which is purely faith, or magic, which is obviously purely int. Using each by dual weilding isn't great because of split damage. Maybe im missing something. Anyone is more than welcome to critique.

Submit

This invalidates 90% of hybrid builds and just makes everyone go pure physical or bleed(that thing everyone hates) instead. This is another reason not to use anything other than bleed. Bleed is literally the hardest thing to counter while being the easiest to build for, you don't even need seppuku. Meanwhile a hybrid build that relies on a buff or something gets made 50% less effective or near useless because of this incantation that works only for anyone who puts points into INT for their build.

Submit

I use tons of buffs and used to see regression a lot at launch. But nobody uses regression anymore. I think this is because there’s little pve application, everyone can have powerful buffs thru physic/consumables and regression is extremely dangerous to cast in combat for no damage. It is simply more dangerous to cast regression than to cast BoG. And BoG can be easily re cast, even under magic deluge. I’ve personally tried using it when my opponents are half health to remove the near-death tear or their regen, but it’s never worth the risk, my buffs are typically worth more than their buffs AND I would have been better off casting a damaging spell. Mages who rely on carian slicer don’t care about Barrier of Gold.

I love this spell so much but int requirements on incantations is actually the dumbest thing. And don't try and tell me it's okay because the other golden order incantations have int requirements, that shits stupid too. You don't see half the sorcerys require faith to use

Ok... so you're telling me that a questline tied to faith incantations requires you to cast a spell that not only requires 37 INT, but also does not have a faith requirement? I'm fine with it having a high requirement... but... INT? Really?

simply don't pvp if you can't win without buffs, duelists will likely have this ready for people like you, Try invasions instead.

A guy casted this right after I buffed with seppuku, and a second time after I re-buffed. Wasn't even mad, I just played along using seppuku and letting him dispel it until I eventually died. I can see why this spell requires intelligence and bleed builds don't

What the hell does it do? What does it mean by "Nullifies any Sorceries or Incantations that are already active, like a Lightning Spear that's mid-flight.".

Submit

Self buffing pvpers which expected me to wait for them to finish buffing while I was easy from the get-go bothered me a lot. Then I discovered this spell.
Working as intended.

Submit

I legitimately don't know what to think about that spell.
I understand that buff stacking is annoying and I can totally understand why so many players love that spell.
But it's also a spell that completely shut down a kind of gameplay / build without any real investment on a mage build. Since it only requires intelligence you will have the 37 required anyway so you don't lose anything in having that in your spell list. Especially since it only takes one slot. Meanwhile the faith user in front of you lost a good part of his build. It's just a free counter.
I feel like it would be more fair if it did something like "Heals all ailments and dispels all special effects while also preventing any new incantation or sorcery being cast for 20 seconds on both sides".
That way if you want to remove all the buffs on your opponent you can, but you also will have to get into the melee for those twenty seconds instead of pewpewing all your sorceries on the cleric that already got nuked.
Don't know, it won't probably change because it works as intended but it still seems too strong for so little of an investment.

Submit

An incantation for Mages. WTF, why did fromsoft do this?

Submit

one or two saying this incantation requirement of 37 f***ing levels of INT makes sense, are just turning a blind eye to a really bad design decision. even taking into account the whole Radagon learning sorcery from Rennala and Incantations from marika thing, it doesn't really fit with the in-game universe for any incantation to need that kind of INT, its made clear sorcery spells and incantations are two very different things, FTH and INT are very different things as well, even doing the mental gymnastics needed to say it fits the lore, its still a bad design decision in terms of gameplay and players enjoyment. locking this incantation behind 37 INT is really going to piss off everyone that made a FTH build or hybrid faith/melee build, not only to find a late game, high end incantation that can only be used by a sorcery or INT/melee build with a not inconsiderable 37 INT , but also find they are locked out of corhyn's quest as well, a quest many times more likely to have been followed by players running some sort of faith build than it is to have been followed by sorcery/sorcery melee with that kind of INT level. sorcery builds, pure melee builds and hybrid builds are only going to be using basic incantations with a low FTH requirement, so will have little interest in following corhyn's quest and will see little point in finding the prayer books to unlock incantations. needing to respec or run around trying to find ways to boost INT just to complete corhyn's quest shows this was a bad decision, shows contempt for players enjoyment.

Submit

this needing 37 int before you can even pick it up is a bad design decision, and a piss take. done knowing most who put levels into FTH will be highly unlikely to have made such a big investment into INT for high end, late game incantations to suddenly need 37 INT or you cant use them is backwards as f**k.

If you hold a seal out and stare at people while they're buffing, they might clue in to what you intend to do. I prefer to eat a bunch of cheap consumnable buffs like crab and turtle neck while they're buffing and then whip out the seal and screw up their dual seppuku golden vow flame grant me strength exalted flesh nonsense.

this is like death blight, after you cast it enough the opponent will instantly die by jumping to their death

Me want instakill you with dual seppuku me mad i cant kill you without dual seppuku

Submit

Shhh Dont tell the mages but theyre using this wrong. Start the duel with your powerful buffs like normal. Half way through the duel your opponent will back off because of your triple rings or other spells. Now cast elden stars, then triple rings, then regression and then finally recast your own buffs while your opponent just blew up. This gets way more salt than casting at the start of the duel. With regression, you are targeting regen or that red bubble that gives them health when they’re almost dead or any buff they got from bleed/poison while removing poison/rot from you. Now you are giving yourself regen or barrier of gold if they’re still giving too much space. If they heal or switch to cheese like RKS now that they have all but lost, just send them home.

Submit

I’m playing through the game with a faith build, and trying to complete the Goldmask story to stay in-character. I was annoyed when I saw that this spell requires a ton of Int to cast. Why would a spell that’s required for an incantation-and-faith-focused narrative path require this much intelligence and zero faith? But I actually think it makes sense. In order to dispel the illusion, you need to take a different approach. Corhyn can’t see the truth because he’s too bound up in his faith. I like that you have to make a hard switch to Int in order to see this, because it forces that negative dialectical step.

It also caused me to hunt down all of those Int-boosting items, which brought me to areas of the game I had no clue existed, like the secret-ish area of Nokron, and the upside-down Divine Tower of Liurnia. I love this game

Submit

you have to cast it next to the MESSAGE not the STATUE, jesus chirst who the **** wrote this garbage game

Submit

Should take note that this is the only way to heal allies who have scarlet rot/death build up.
Essentially it's a noob saver along with uplifting aromatic

Must have for UwU Support builds imo~!

My general rule for using this in PvP: if the opponent uses more than two buffs, I use this.

Submit

Just killed the same dude that used barrier of gold three times thanks to this, faith builds never learn.



This is the best incantation in the game, resets everything. Even if you're a melee focused str/int build put this on your back pocket, It destroys people who rely on their dumbass buffs and doesn't know how to play otherwise. I especially love to wait for bleed builds to put both of the seppukus just to take it away from them and cast every single pressuring tool on my arsenal and then bonk their empty skulls with a lions claw magic zweihander, until it gets nerfed bleed builds deserve no respect, dont forget that.

Submit

This is a 100% intelligence *incantation* that requires no faith? Makes zero sense, it's a spell using a seal not staff.

Submit

The best spell in the game. I just wish it wasn't exclusively for Int builds and overleveled characters

Submit

This spell needs to be nerfed asap. A spell that makes all your buffs useless and counters anti-mage builds that rely on Barrier of Gold? How is this even allowed to exist? Hard counter items like this should never exist imo.

I consider this rude to start the duel with unless as a direct response to barrier of gold. It’s also a free jump attack for your opponent if you start that way. How do I use this spell? Mages should be layering their spells to create space for other spells. If my opponent has backed off from triple rings I then cast flint stone phalanx to protect me then a magic flint blade, then Law of Regression and then I cast blessing of the erdtree regen buff. We are intelligence builds. Use this spell intelligently. Even against BoG your opponent can recast barrier of gold and attack you before you can recast regression if you don’t have other spells at play. This spell is intentionally balanced by a long cast time and expensive cost.
