      Used this into inescapable frenzy on people, lol. The +5 to every stat is also pretty great for the frenzy flame seal, because it scales off 4 different stats.

        There seems to be a bug as of patch 1.13. If you activate the AOW then activate it again during the initial 60-second duration, the timer does not reset. Instead, the buff still ends after the original 60 seconds, rather than restarting the countdown from the new activation. Not sure if this is intended or not.

          I wish this sword didn't weigh so much, I use this sword not to attack but to get a free godricks great rune and I don't like having to use the menu to swap it out

            In SotE, once you get your Scadutree blessings to the high teens, casting this + Rallying Std + Flame GMS,, chug a Spiked Cracked/Leaden Hard physick then switch to Giant Crusher with Royal Knight's Res, activate RKR and do a fully charged 2HR2, you can do over 10K msg which will 1 shot most bosses in the dlc. Oh and it's actually best to cast Oath 2nd from last, right before switching to Giant Crusher and activating RKR then attack immediately before the hyper armor from Oath wears off so you can tank a hit. Annnnnnd if you wanna be really, REALLY sure they're dead, equip the Axe (extra charge dmg) + Ritual Sword talismans (you'll need to flask after activating Oath since your health wont be 100% due to the stat inc). It's a lot to do in a short amount of time but worth it when your monkey brain releases endorphins over the 10K dmg number popping up on the screen. Have fun!

              The page doesn't mention it, but this skill also briefly gives you tier 1 hardness (certain attacks from light weapons bounce off of you).

                This AoW can't be recast while the buff is active to refresh the duration, like most(all?) other buffs. You have to wait until the buff wears off before recasting, which is a little annoying with the HP/FP deficit after your stats increase

                  Increases badassery. You can ignore the chariots passing through you. Story of this skill -like weapon's story- is one of the coolest for sure, and descriptions count as fashion for me.

                    when using this with flame grant me strength, commander's standard, and the strength cracked tear, my damage goes down substantially somehow. since im raising my stats, it should only be going up. possible bug?

                    • Anonymous

                      The stat increase does stack with Knot Crystal Tears and lasts for 60s as of 1.07. Buff persists after unequiping the weapon

                      It is also pretty handy to meet spell requirements with minimal stat allocation. Golden Vow and Flame Grant Me Strength come to mind.

                        For anyone wondering why all the status bars show up when they use this: It doesn't add any buildup, it increases your resistances.

                        The percentage bars are probably just an abstraction. Under the hood, you get inflicted by a status when your resistance number goes down to 0. If your max resistance goes from 95 to 100, the game shows that as you having 5% buildup. Your current resistance doesn't change, so your momentarily at 95/100.

                          Don't know if this is as intended or not but you can definitely use this, and either swap to another weapon or take it off your equip bar entirely and keep the 30 seconds of free 2nd rune arc. With godricks great rune and this you're getting 80 free levels? Definitely helps for defense.

                            i wish this lasted longer. as it is it's just a small damage and tiny defense boost. the poise is nice ig, but damn

                            • Anonymous

                              Is there a mechanical reason why the weapon skill adds a tiny amount of every status buildup when triggered? Figure it's something to do with how the game interprets the change in some stat. Kinda distracting to suddenly have a bunch of bars covering the center of the screen any time you buff...

                                This actually has a very very small I frame on it just as the buff goes off, not really that useful to know but it’s there
