Marais Executioner's Sword | Elden Ring Wiki

Look if elemer can clap cheeks with a thrust attack on this and look swaggy as hell doing it I want to be able to as well

Claymore is lonely anyways, bro could use a friend in the Cool R2 Club

Submit

This would be my favorite greatsword if it weren't for that fat arc requirement for D scaling

Submit

Horrendously bad in pvp since it does split damage. Sad since the weapon is cool.

Submit

Ah yes, pierce damage.

Submit

The Crit modifier makes me sad :(

if i want to two-hand this, do i go 50/50 on STR/ARC or 54/45?

Submit

screw the ghiza wheel, this is the true elden chainsaw

Submit

the 2 handed heavy attacks are seriously underrated. they cut through enemies like butter

Submit

~6000 damage uncharged with 50/50 str/arc

Just played through NG+ using this sword exclusively with a 50/50 arc/str build at RL150. Wrecked every single boss in the game nearly effortlessly, only required a couple retries on Maliketh and Radabeast. Takes a little practice to get the timing down, but it's a really, really great weapon. A couple things not mentioned here:

You can dodge directly after the sword returns from the corkscrew, before the extra slash - this is important when speed is necessary.

You can change the direction of the ending slash by 360 degrees - during the corkscrew, use directional input or change target lock.

Submit

This weapon is the greatest. I played arpund 350 hrs (2 complete NG playthroughs) as pure casters, first int then faith, and I wanted to use this sword so badly from the second I first got it but never could. Respected faith caster on NG+ to str/arc just for this sword, and it is AMAZING. Night cavalry armor w/ eclipse greatshield and this looks BADASS and it practically unstoppable.

A great weapon for strength-arcane builds. The AoW annihilate bosses!

Submit

buff arc scaling pls, this could have been such a good str/arc weapon but the arc scaling is just not worth investing into until much higher level (especially considering how much arc it takes to wield the damn thing)

Submit

Damage is a little bit lackluster, luckily you can use the skill to buff up your damage for a couple seconds with the winged insignia

Submit

I want to like this sword so badly but the damage just feels so off, could be the horrid state of pvp but it’s hard to like this when getting two shot by most weapons with 50 vigor and dealing what feels like 200 damage at +10 and the recommended stats

Submit

not only does it look epic, but it has the chop heavy attack even when 2 handed.

Submit

This sword is a banger and slaps.

Submit

I gravitated towards a Dragon Communion build during my first playthrough of this game, which made me eager to pick up and swing nay new weapons I found that scaled with Arcane.

This sword was far and away the mightiest armament I picked up in my travels. Any arcanist who feels pigeonholed into Bleed weaponry should definitely give this sword a (literal) whirl.

Submit

I am tried it with commander standard buff and it does work in 1.9. Not sure if it supposed to or it is a bug.

POV: you are bottle of champagne

Submit

I’ve noticed that there are a few attacks that used a fixed animation. Such as when the hunter spins the sword around his head twice then slams. So it’s not like the drill was the only option for them to chose.

I am hoping that they’ll give this sword the floating attacks down the road. Because as of right now it is one of many gimmick weapons. Sure it can one shot a geriatric boss, but I’d rather use the sword like the hunter than have a “oNe ShOt BuILd”

Submit

It's a steep Arcane investment, but this weapon is really good for (non-Int) Strength builds that want a way to deal good magic damage.

Despite almost all the damage being scaled with Strength, you get about 40% of that as Magic damage, plus EDB is basically an all-Magic nuke.

There aren't many weapons that fill this niche. Really good against Gargoyles and Golems, and even has Standard damage (slightly less effective than Strike damage here).

Submit

I wish the arcane requirement was lower since the scaling remains at a D forever, doesn't help that there isn't a dedicated arcane increasing talisman like other stats except for Marika's soreseal which also makes you take increased damage.

Submit

It would be cool if the charged R2 made the sword glow like the Bell Bearing Hunter does

Submit

i really don't know what to pair it with, and no, great stars or knife don't heal.

Submit

If you have the right talismans and etc the skill does insane damage but it's a gimmick that works for NG-NG+ wouldn't recommend for Higher NG+ Cycles.

Submit

Might be one of the strongest weapons in the game, if your tarnished is built correctly. Not sure how it is for pvp, but the skill does collosal damage and stunlocks most smaller enemies in PVE. It's quicker than most skills when uncharged and has really decent range when charged. With adequate poise (52) you'll be able to use the skill pretty much every time no problem, and you're able to roll out of the animation as soon as the sword stops spinning.

For talismans use Rotten Winged Sword Insignia and Godfrey Icon (and/or Millicent's Prosthesis in NG+), Shard of Alexander, and one of your choice. Mix a thorny cracked tear in your physick for the bosses, and you'll be set.

Submit

Skill can put out some good damage but its rather slow and the sword itself has meh damage for all the levels invested.

Submit

i dont know what im doing wrong but its not letting me upgrade my sword anybody have answer for that?

Submit

Like I said, kids are cruel Jack

Submit

When I first tried it, I was kinda disapointed. Not because numbers where bad, but because I was really excited to see it fly around and cut enemies. However, all I got is a slow as hell spinning trust attack. Yes, maybe numbers are good, but I want to fight with style and, to be honest, two shotting your opponent with stacking buffs and one weapon art is boring

Submit

This thing is kind of cool but needs modifications to be viable in pve, and perhaps adjustments for pvp

The range is absurdly small compared to the weapon animation which makes no sense

In pvp the stagger is very good, perhaps too good, so I wouldn't mind a stagger nerf if it meant greater range

Submit

rotten winged sword insignia, millicent prosthesis, godfrey icon, and the two cracked white tears that increase charged and successive damage make this ash of war on this weapon very good. Used it to kill Malenia easily

Submit

Unfortunately this is not the most viable weapon for a pure ARC / "occult" build, as it scales strongly with both STR and ARC; this is best used on a dedicated build for it, although the stats do also lend themselves decently to the Mohgwyn Sacred Spear.

To understand why this isn't a pure STR weapon with a B in STR but only a D in ARC, both the physical and magical damage scale with ARC. An online AR calculator states that at +10 the scaling coefficients are 113.4 for STR and 54 for ARC, so your scaling calculation is something along the lines of (230 x STR modifier x 113.4) phsyical + (230 x ARC modifier x 54) physical + (149 x ARC modifier x 54) magic.

Submit

And Gael cosplay builds all cried out in unison: "FROM PLEASE GIVE US A PURE PHYSICAL VERSION / NON ARCANE VERSION!"

Submit

despite being a D, this actually scales pretty decently with arcane, at least according to eip.gg's calculator

Submit

Really cool weapon, wish it had a better move set

Submit

very, very weak in pvp… it can’t even break poise most of the time, and has zero range…. Oh it deals magic damage, that’s why it’s weak, it’s ‘cause FROM extremely dislikes magic type damage

Submit

I am somewhat saddened that my favorite weapon from DS3 was brought back as a the marias exec. sword; I played through half of that game with the standard exec. sword without even knowing weapons had skills lol. really wish they would have brought it back as a standard weapon now, still dealing strike damage. Really hurts that I'm stuck with the gimmick ash of war, on an arcane scaled weapon

Submit

Super badass weapon, so glad it counts as a legendary armament.

Submit

Maybe I need more practice, but I've found that this weapon is underwhelming in practice. Yes it's impressive when you do huge damage to a boss with the weapon art, but in reality most of the actually difficult bosses either move around too much, or will knock you on your ass while you're standing there corkscrewing away.

Vig 60, Mnd 30, End 30, Str 16, Dex 14, Int 7, Fth 27, Arc 45

Starting with Hero, that puts you at 150 (145 with Millicent's Prosthesis). Pair it with Moghwyn's Sacred Spear and the Dragon Communion Seal. Trade out some End for Str if you want to one hand the weapons. My absolute favorite niche build.

Either this or the Ragalia should've had the spinning swing jedi swing instead of the corkscrew.

Submit

This thing should of got a buffed ash moveset where you can make it dance for reals, or at least charged r2s that reach like his.. what a waste of coding to even put this in game...

Submit

The weapon you turn to when you're halfway your dex/arcane build and the regalia just isn't doing it anymore. Yes it needs a very specific and niche build to make it effective. Yes it's not the best in pvp. Yes the overal ar is actually kind of on the lower end. But god ****ing damnit when you start drilling everything in your path you will never want to stop.

Submit

IMO this should have been a gravity magic weapon, since that's the "telekinetic" magic in this world.
Would be rad to get a gravity version in the DLC.

Submit

I beat elemer but this sword never dropped....any ideas?

Submit

The skill is powerful, but comparing to the boss, meh... In Briar's hands the sword is really dancing, and all you can only do is only a drill move which isn't used quite often by the boss. Only a feeble recreation of the real skill of Eochaid's dancing blade.

Submit

I rushed NG until +8 with this sword for single target dps, moghs spear for aoe + shield poke and fingerprint shild.
Even in NG 8 you can still kill Godrick in his first phase and you can insta kill Lansseax at his first position.
You don't need a great rune or more than 60 vigor because doing like 14k damage in a single charged skill makes all fights very short.
Prebuff, wait until your mimic (always with moghs spear) or tiche gets the aggro and then go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Submit

Turns out twinblade talisman actually works on the ash of war which gives a good damage buff to the last hit

Submit

Considering this one looks like has pretty little glowing blue runes and we have two weapons with the levitating weapon art, would have been beaut to have one of them look like a sorcery with blue effects instead of red. GW mesmers unite.

Did we need yet another magic greatsword tho, probably not.

Submit

I tried the rolling, jumping, running, regular, and charged R2 there's no "unique slam R2".

Submit

In the Eochaid Executioner build he says use the strength crystal tear if you don't need stam recovery, but wouldn't be faith for using Golden Vow oder the +magic attack one better?

Submit

If you have strength/mag build use magic shrouding cracked tear, thorn cracked tear, rotten wing insig, Godfrey icon, shard of Alexander & magic scorpion charm to melt boss health in new game +++ & higher

Submit

This weapon kinda suffers from "YouTube Build" syndrome. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody using it who isn't spamming charged L2s hopelessly fishing for a oneshot.

When using MES and Regalia against bosses, it’s not a bad idea to use a sleep pot before you use the weapon skill. As an example, I used a sleep pot on the Godskin Apostle below Caelid Divine Tower to put him to sleep, then used the fully charged weapon skill and it did very well.

Submit

Lore question: Why does it scale with arcane? Faith requires the caster to believe in the incantation to work. Intelligence requires the understanding of the usage of the spell (I’m certain). But, what exactly is arcane? Some spells like the bubble spells require it. Especially the dragon breath incants requires it. Why though? What is arcane?

Submit

Lore question: why does it scale with arcane? why does it affect the magic scaling? What exactly is arcane?

Submit

Could someone please tell me how does scaling in this game work?
Its said up there that the weapon scales primary with Str and Dex while its scaling in Arcane is rank D and E in Dex so why wouldnt it be strength and arcane that the weapon scales best with.
I am aware of hidden scaling values that determine whether some weapons scale better than others despite having the same stat X scaling but what's the point of the whole S A B C D E stuff when in the end E is better than D ?
Most likely I dont get something but explanation would be really appreciated.

Submit

Wish you could use the levitation swings Elemer uses

Submit

really wish this had a unique charged R2 that levitated the sword in front of you before swinging just like the BBH

Submit

You can use Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear for AoE in the same build, they both use strength and arcane.

Submit

dude this thing is crap against anything that has a brain and can move around

what the hell is the weapon art? you need Godfrey Icon + Shard of Alexander + Rotten Winged Sword Insignia + Millicent's Prosthesis to make weapon art viable and if the enemy moves away from the last 2 hits, well, you are so screwed

it is highly recommended that you use literally anything else if you wanna spam the weapon art, like I dunno Taker's Flames, Nebula, Regal Roar, The Queen's Black Flame, Corpse Piler, Wave of Destruction, anything else

Submit

this weapon is meant for dual investment into str and arc yes, but don't let the miyazaki letters confuse you. even though the str coefficient is double the arc coefficient, it gets very nearly the same AR per level of either str or arc investment, because (as with mohg's spear) arc double dips and scales both the physical and elemental damage at the same time. let's be honest, you're just using for the cool L2 with more range than eochaid's, and arc builds are going to get 24 str for nihil spear anyway

Submit

Requires mostly STR build with some ARC and there are not a whole lot (if any tbh) of other weapons that would have optimal damage with such build

Submit

Eochaids Regalia is better for arcane builds, this is better for strength and arcane.

Submit

just saw somebody essentially 1 shot last boss with this sword he did several buffs and used the weapon art it melted him seconds dead and im on ng+7 lol anyone know anything about this?

Submit

They don’t know I am hidden op

Submit

To be clear; this is not for ARC builds. This is for STR builds that dabble in ARC.

The ARC-build version is https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Regalia+of+Eochaid

I happen to like the straight-sword version with the Briar Shield and the Briar Armor set, for the full EoCHAD experience.

Submit

Sword is meh compared to rivers of blood use that instead if you're gonna be any sort of serious player

Submit

I find it a bit odd that the Marais, despite having less arcane scaling than the Regalia, requires more arcane than the Regalia to use.

Submit

With proper build and buffs this does hilarious damage. Makes PvE easy.

Submit

I think this weapon would be better if it has some bleed build up on it. Maybe start off at 55, and at 10+ cap it at 99.

Submit

This absolutely ROCKS NPC enemies. They get fully stunlocked and receive the full amount of damage and are knocked down just before the final swing of the skill - you can optimise that by rolling just as they're knocked down to follow up more quickly.

Submit

Does anyone know if this deals increased charge attack damage?

Submit

This is a Strength weapon and the Regalia of Eochaid is a Dexterity weapon. Why must they effectively be mutually exclusive for Arcane builds? :(

Submit

This is cool but I would have vastly preferred the telekinetic cleaving sweeps Elemer does in his fight. Feels like they could have made the skill a stance with the light attack input being ranged sweep attacks and the heavy input being the corkscrew. Feels even weirder because they just copy/pasted the same corkscrew attack on two separate swords instead of giving one the other moves. At least we get more cool executioner swords tho

Submit

I REALLY wish that this power-stanced with Regalia of Eochaid the way the wakizashi does with katanas or the pickax

Submit

Red magic is so cool compared to the glintstone blue we get. We get purple (gravity) blue (glintstone and stars) black (death) and the red magic from this weapon skill.

Submit

Landing that L2 feels so damn satisfying

Submit

Very good against melinia when properly used with good talismans and buffs. Play offensive until her health drops to 75% then play defensive as the waterfowl can appear while casting its skill and you won't have time to blood hounds step or dodge. Don't be afraid to use the non charged attack if you know you can't get a full charge in. That stagger is straight up horrendous against her and she can't even waterfowl or attack until the sword is done. Try not to miss and don't get too greedy and she will become your *****

Submit

I love this weapon. It's one of the legendary armaments, but really it's just the heirloom sword of a family of executioners. Nothing terribly unique about it, it didn't fall from the sky and it isn't imbued with the power of some outer god, and yet it was a storied sword before Elemer was even condemned. Elemer's personal use of the weapon fated to kill him parallels other more prominent characters, like Ranni and Radahn, in their grapples with destiny: defying it and making it their own.

Submit

bell bearing hunter kicked my ass so good with one of the first days after release at warmaster's shack that all i could think was "damn, i need me one of those"

Submit

Man, I love this weapon so much. Friend wanted me to make an arc character but instead of going str/arc he wanted me to use RoB and dex/arc. He's obsessed with OP stuff which is pretty sad considering how many good weapons that aren't considered "OP" but still amazing exist.
