Elden Ring Rejection Guide

  • Two Fingers Incantation
  • Stamina Cost: 24
  • One of offensive spells, that deals 0 damage to target
  • Deals 15 stance damage
  • Can be charged for a stronger push or vs shielded enemies
    • Charging seems to affect the range of spell, not stance damage (testing needed)
  • May break enemy stance
    • This makes Rejection a good spell against Crystalians, as it knocks them even before 1st stance break.
  • Can be chain-casted as long as player has enough  FP
  • Affects a 360º AoE
  • Does not seem to awaken/alert sleeping or unaware enemies.
    (Requires further testing, but at least on the sleeping Albinaurics on the Palace Approach Ledge Road, the incantation knocks them down and moves them, then they stand up but do not move or appear to be awake.)
  • NOTE: Since Patch 1.07 Stamina Attack Power against guarded enemies has been Increased

      Most underrated spell. So cheap for such great utility how come everyone dont have this at hand? Is someone doing something you dont like? Just reject! Got stuck in a tight cliff edge with a PvP opponent? Reject them off the edge! Is Rennala casting a Comet Azur in your face? Just reject and make her fall on her ass! Getting swarmed by a bunch of trash mobs? Nope, reject! Infinite possibilities.

      • Unironically great spell against Crystalians - stance break with it is easy, as 5 uninterrupted casts and armor is gone. Plus every Rejection knocks them, making them helpless against this approach. Then just punch them with virtually anything and problem is gone.

          I used this spell to clean up a wandering mausoleum, only to find that it can push them back a bit. You could maybe push a mausoleum somewhere it shouldn't be.

            Nothing really brings me joy in the same way that shoving a massively overleveled ganker off a ledge to his death does. Fromsoft may refuse to implement proper summon scaling or restrictions to this day, but at the end of the day a moron is still a moron.

              When a group of Gankers are following you, and being dumb they don't realise you are leading them over a cliff and then BOOM, see ya, GG very fun fight!

                Anyone know if the AOE improves when Faith or Seal is leveled up? Right now it only works point blank unless charged. I'm using the Clawmark Seal +4 with 30 strength and 18 faith.

                  A recent study reveals that this spell describes the love life of every dual status buildup spears user.

                    Pros:

                    + Useful with flails/whips since they do not bounce off shields one-handed and with every bit of dexterity put on will make rejection faster. One free heavy on flails/whips if you put an enemy to the ground.
                    + Use flail to trick Knights to attack you after you hit their shield and then use rejection for a free charged heavy on them
                    + Useful with big weapons to throw off enemies
                    + Low cost and low requirement
                    + One fully charged rejection or two not charged chain casted rejections will make Leyndell, Godrick Cavalries, Kaiden Cavalries to fall off their horse allowing you to easily finish them off with a critical hit to their chest
                    + One uncharged rejection against Leyndell knight, Rotten Knight, Godrick Knight, Cuckoo Knight and Crystallians will make them fall to the ground allowing for a free heavy on them and possibly an endless free heavy spree if you use rejection correctly
                    + Two FULLY charged chain casted rejections to make Cuckoo Knight Cavalry to fall off their horse. Very inconsistent with not charged rejections since sometimes they would fall off at 5 or 7 rejections instead of 2 like the other knights above.
                    + Banished Knight cannot be pushed so they fall to the ground, but instead will take a step back. 7 uncharged repeated rejections will poise break and stun them allowing for a sweet critical hit. WARNING: DO NOT USE CHARGED REJECTION SINCE THEY ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE TO USE IT PROPERLY AGAINST THEM.
                    + Can be used with a crossbow to push potential foes away from you
                    + Can make online players fall off from high places if used at the right time


                    Cons:

                    - Bad range
                    - Useless with most boss fights
                    - Does not give poise
                    - Do not give you free critical hits when normal enemies fall to the ground
                    - Have to hit the cavalry rider and not the horse to make Knights fall off effectively for a critical hit, making it harder to pull off in general combat situations
                    - Banished Knights cannot fall to the ground
                    - Cannot be effectively used against the red eyed banished knight at Castle Sol
                    - Not very useful against shields with most weapons
                    - Not useful against Rotten Knight's rapier special block and will instead give them usually a free attack on you
                    - Can repel arrows/bolts but unfortuantly wont shoot it back at attacker, so use shield instead to block
                    - Online players lag may make rejection not work properly (Not being pushed away when really they should)

                    The testing were done in first playthrough with Clawmark Seal and 17 faith, 48 strength (Not that I think this matters, but just in case). Thanks for reading =)

                    Sidenote: Why is there no ash of war for this, but one that deals damage like morne's hammer from Dark souls 3? And why is there no projectile version like the one Siegward in Dark Souls 3 gives you, but actually a bit better allowing for single target use. Barely anyone used it because it were mostly useless against anything so I don't know why they didn't give a better version of it in this game.

                      The mobs at the Palace approach Ledge-Road that stay sitting passive until attacked. Won't aggro from this spell. You can boot most of them off the cliff. It makes farming that hill fun.

                        My favorite incant in the game for both PvE and PvP. Knocks around trash mobs like the putrid corpses in front of Mohg's palace, and knocks low poise nerds flat on their asses. I can't unequip Radagon's icon because of this incant.

                          PSA This is really useful against flying enemies like warhawks and bats. If you time it right it’ll knock them onto their backs for a few seconds and you can pick them off while on the ground!

                            I used this yesterday on some albinaurics and after they got up, they just stood there. They completely ignored me. Is this a bug or a feature of the spell?

                                  This spell is so useful. carried me through Ds2, too. Take advantage of every ledge you see, gravity kills all

                                    I went out with a girl who runs a faith build but she cast rejection, she was too loyal to the two fingers…

                                      I just tried this spell in an invasion. It's useless, because you have to stand close to the opponent and it can be easily interrupted with just a casual swing.

                                        Much like gravity sorcery, this will also knock any flying enemies out of the air and flat on their back in a vulnerable state. Unfortunately you have to be french-kissing them for it to land since the range is so short but even so it's a useful tool for faith players to handle birds and the like.

                                          Maybe you could use it to make up for long cast time spells? Hard for them to do anything while their face is two feet under the ground.

                                            in normal circumstances this spell has very little use. however it has on very niche use. it deals no damage but can still pull agro which makes it a great spell for certain challenge runs (eg no attacking)
