Nox Flowing Sword | Elden Ring Wiki

L2 on this and the hammer should've been a temporary transform state like the aquamarine dagger in DS3 that gives you alternate R1s and R2s

Submit

course this isn't infusable/buffable why wouldn't it be

Submit

This ash is better than the flowing hammer. The hammer does little to no poise damage, this does.

Submit

Really wish this weapon and the hammer would have the flowing effect on the normal moveset considering it's unique design, to be made like a relatively low scaling curved sword in exchange for a lot of reach for crowd control.

As it is it's just a one trick pony where better alternatives exist.

Submit

this is a qua weapon right?

Submit

I'd buff these weapons in the following way:

Option A:
Make them buffable

Option B:
Add magic/frost dmg and intelligence scaling, at least C rating

Option C:
Allow them to have follow ups or retain their flowing form for other combos like lunges or spinning attacks.

Submit

You don't use it for raw damage or abusing status afflictions, you use it because Flowing Form is really good.

Hey mom can we get Urumi?
We have Urumi at home.
Urumi at home.

Submit

The unique Ash of War that turns the weapons into a whip is really good because it has really good range, hits hard, and goes through walls. Its a bit slow however so you kinda have to use it in the same scenarios that you´d use an estus

Submit

Would have been nice with arc scaling that scales to physical damage, would have been thematic to the mimic helmet and occult whetblade

Submit

Looks cool

Submit

In the "Red Rising" sci-fi series by Pierce Brown, there is a type of sword that can turn into a whip, and can be adjusted into any fixed shape one wants. The main character fixes his sword into a scythe. Also, there are people who dress themselves in wolves' skins. So this plus Blaidd's armor, and I can sorta cosplay into a whole new level of nerdiness.

Submit

You’re better off just using the urumi whip if you want an actual flowing sword type weapon. The weapon art on this thing is utterly terrible. The normal attacks should have resembled those used by the enemies.

A weapon straight out of DS3

Submit

Wow no ash, no spell buffs(like bloodflame), no resin, **** sucks wtf is this garbo

Submit

This should have a special powerstance with the flowing hammer. :/ Like the wakizashi/katana combo.

Submit

I feel like it needs a lot more stagger if it's gonna lock you in place so long for a quick hit

Submit

it feels like it should have a follow up attack on its skill instead of freezing you in place for 5 seconds

Submit

Fun fact: if you cancel a charge attack with a roll or backstep with this weapon, you do an awesome secret attack.

Submit

Urumi's charged heavy attacks change its form, why the hell does it need to be a locked skill for this one?

Submit

Urumi is better at being a sword than Nox Flowing Sword at being a whip.

Submit

murky but awesome

Submit

its an urumi

Submit

nobody turtles anymore therefore its useless

Submit

Only complaint is the weapon art is to lackluster, it kinda feels like you can do another whip strike or a series but you can only do it once all the while you cant move, so I have to ask, why?

Submit

has pretty good damage and scaling and is among one of the longest curved swords. It's shield pierce and unique weapon art make it a solid invasion tool for people hiding behind walls and turtles.

Submit

I think the exact advantage of this weapon hasn't really been posted so here, this is GREAT as an extremely early pure DEX somber weapon.

Just go straight to the trap chest in Dragonburnt ruins, get to Sellia and complete the puzzle to get access to the bossfight, be sure to grab Sellia Backstreets grace for quick runback as well.

I was able to do this as unleveled Warrior starter class fairly easily, also opens up the best NPC quest early which is nice

If you're struggling with the fight unleveled grab the rotten Stray ashes from Sellia, it will almost ALWAYS target the Nox monk and while it won't kill him directtly it'll easily proc rot while you deal with the swordstress.

Submit

I love how if you 2hand the sword you’re hand is basically grabbing the air under the pommel XD

Would've loved to see the shotels with the reaper crit animations

Submit

It's not bad, but there're other weapons that can do a better job than this one.

Submit

Pretty effective in invasions. The WA can go through walls and deals more damage than one might initially think, as well as stuns. Then can follow up with quick roll catches.

Submit

The WA should've just been a strong attack instead

Submit

Low scaling, but very high base damage, especially for a shotel. Get this early and it will treat you well. Later on you'll probably put it away, but it can make shielded soldiers and corner ambushes a little easier to deal with

Submit

Would have been cool if you could swap movesets to a whip by using the WA like Bloodborn.

speed was buffed drastically, does wonders against imps and shrimps, or anything else that like to pussyfoot around you all the time

Submit

disappoint, could be very cool

Submit

Kinda wish the backstab animation wasn’t so odd.

In case the comments on the wiki were turning you off of this weapon, a few bright spots to make it worth at least equipping once:

1. Same shape as Shotel but better AR. Actually does pretty reasonable damage for a curved sword.


2. It does not only have "block piercing" - the weapon shape can actually just reach around shields. I had the nox flowing sword in my offhand powerstanced with scavenger's curved, and a jumping attack followed by a second L1 seemed to consistently bonk shielded soldiers / knights / tiny nokron weirdos in the noggin and stagger them. I don't even think the 40% shield piercing does anything because it so consistently just goes around shields and gets the enemy in the eyeballs.


3. The whip attack is a little underwhelming, the range isn't phenomenal, you're glued in place during the animation, and it is a kind of slow animation. That said I was still regularly swapping to 2-handing this to use the WA to clear out a horde of smaller enemies or to slap big knights or whatever with a ranged attack. it also seems to do surprisingly good damage, seems like it was hitting for 350-400 on my character who only has 19 dex and +5 upgrade on the weapon.

Submit

I wish it was more than one sweep

Submit

It's a **** Urumi
Maybe you'd catch someone off guard with it, if they were lobotomized. You still have a locked WA sword where you spend FP to be Urumi. Disgraceful.

Submit

Sure i get why you can't change the ash of war, but I'm dissapointed you can't even use weapon buffs

Submit

They just speed up the WA in 1.04

Submit

Did they just speed up the weapon art in 1.04 ? It feels significantly faster.

Submit

the only proper sword-whip weapon was puzzling stone sword

Submit

When 2-handing, the character's hand just sits at the end of the pommel, holding nothing.

Submit

There's a hidden effect I've discovered with the weapon art. Just like how the sword melts into a whip, I've noticed that it can also cause your eyes to melt, during the 5 hours it takes to use the weapon art. I wouldn't recommend it since I currently cannot see, but maybe I'm just lacking vision of the weapon as a whole. Maybe I'm just blind to the possibilities, or I cannot see the bigger picture. I cannot look at this weapon and say it's viable. This is just from my point of view though, which is very dark.

Submit

Try Urumi

Submit

I love that watery and goopy noise from using the skill that stretches out the blade and whips it out.

Submit

Why not give this weapon at least a flowing sword combo on heavy hits. WA very slow and underwhelming dmg. It's just a regular Shotel with a bad WA.

Submit

Confirmed that this pierces shields like the Shotel, R2s are more effective for it. Weapon art also goes through walls, which is pretty much its only utility

Submit

Its like they took the speed out of all the WA and gave it all to the Moonvile Katana WA

Submit

From the trailer.

Submit

They REALLY need to buff this thing’s skill. Make it more like the Nox hammer’s or at least as fast as a regular whip attack.

Submit

In discription ash no 1 hit, its fast hits, this weapon with bug, or what, why monk using 2 and 3 hit combo, 1 hit slow charge wtf???

Submit

It's a cool weapon but weapon art is way too slow

Submit

Does this have shield piercing?

Submit

Does this have shield piercing?

Submit

Cool have been a very cool sword, but to me there's 2 problems;

- It's super ugly, way too curved.
- The whip form is only a single hit. Wouldv been cool to have like a bloodborne-like toggle, or at least a 2 or 3 hits like the enemies using this have.

That being said, the weapon art hits surprisingly hard and ofc covers lots of ground.

Is there anything like this that can receive AOW?

anyone know if this has decent dex scaling?
