Spirit Glaive | Elden Ring Wiki

Despite it being INT, I'd actually use this if it wasn't trash, purely because it looks awesome

Submit

how much frostbite buildup does the skill have?

Submit

They really goofed with all the spirit weapons and rancor/ghost flame weapons. It could have been a really fun alternative way to play int builds but they're so under powered they're just not worth using. Maybe if they had made a talisman to boost ghost flame it would have been viable.

Submit

These could have been so much more. These could have been Faith/Int scaling weapons for Necromancer builds. Instead, they're just mediocre as hell and serve no purpose other than having cool-looking L2s. Sad.

Submit

Death sorcery deserves a dlc addition of its own to make up for all the mistakes in the base and sote game in regards to the magic and weapons. Can’t even make a decent death build without being rl380 to invest in the stats to make up for the lack of damage and accuracy.

Submit

So why should I use this instead of, say, regular glaive with Black Flame Tornado, which I could also afford?

Submit

Hope from stop rushing games

Submit

This look so ****ing good but its actual garbage, such a shame that another potential gone into waste

Submit

I was so excited that we were getting a death rancor weapon and wow, this is absolute garbage. It has no faith scaling, and its int scaling might as well not even exist. This is primarily a dex weapon, more dex would get you the most damage, unbelievable

Submit

death weapon yet not INT/FAI. god i love this game

Submit

Why not just make rancor slash a magic ash of war instead of making a shite weapon with crap scaling? What is from thinking?

Submit

This weapon is so utterly dogshit I use it just out of spite. They could've at least added a bit frostbite buildup. And wtf is this split damage? This is basically a dex weapon with a bit of magical dmg, like Death Poker, and yet Poker gets frostbite and actual scaling with unique moveset and Int - scaling AoW to justify Int investment, while this is... What it is. Necromancer's life is hard in Lands Between

Submit

Anyone know if the Dancer's set boosts the ash of war?

Submit

When I found this I was simultaneously hopeful and disappointed. It looked so cool in an unassuming way - like I knew it wouldn't be a big paradigm shift in buildmaking but I thought it could be fun. But as a death weapon with horrendous scalings I was certain it would actually be terrible. And it sort of is. Not exactly top meta in PvP and is seldom more effective than a cold Glaive with sword dance. But landing the full L2 does feel good. Just bear in mind that spirit slash costs much more FP than sword dance, so, spam at your own peril. I can't really explain or justify my fondness for this weapon but it's nice.

Submit

Risen from the glaive

Submit

I'm redoing a whole build around this weapon which means a new game

Submit

**** this game bruh

Submit

The AoW can true combo if used in close range, Gigasthiccas confirmed it in his recent stream reviewing the patch notes

Submit

if only they had given it the swordspear moveset

Submit

What they should've done was add a new death infusion type that removes Str/Dex scaling and adds Int+Fth scaling

Submit

Why are all the death weapons quality + int but all the sorceries are int + faith

Submit

My suggestion: Imbue the weapon with ghostflame (frost buildup) after using the AoW for 30 seconds. Then it'll at least have a niche

Submit

How is the strength and int scaling both D at 0.54 and I see literally +1 returns for every int investment but I'm seeing +2/+3 for each strength investment. They need to fix this weapon.

Submit

So many cool death themed weapons that are either weak af or have zero scaling synergy with each other, at least this one's a halberd ig

Submit

Was excited at first, used it, no longer excited.
Has the spin charged heavy and the rancors from the L2 disappear before doing anything most of the time, not that they do much when hitting though.

Submit

It's look great but has surprisingly low damage. I hoped that perhaps the AoW would therefore be a bit better to compensate but... nah its just been a waste of Somber stones. With a +9 at 70 int, 45 dex I don't even reach 700 AR, while something faster like a moonveil gets close to 900 at +9 with much better WA on top. It's a scam. Use the curved sword version instead and pair it with a Wing of Astel or something.

Submit

I don't think there's a single Int weapon in the DLC that doesn't suck.

Submit

Why are the pretty ones always so dumb? Is there any rancor weapon that isn't severely underpowered?

Submit

I used this to farm the grave scythe, so its flavor text is now true beyond doubt

Submit

What's the point of making it, if nobody will ever use it due to such a low dmg and inconveniet requirements and scaling?

298+88 AR and D C D
Meanwhile the Halberd - the most standard, average weapon in the game, available even with a starting class, on magic infusion:
240+240 AR and B scaling in int.
266+266 and C - swordspear

but hey, I can cast 5 very slow and weak skulls with it, so it balances 350 less AR

Submit

how am i supposed to use any of the death/rancor weapons in a rancor build when all of the weapons are INT only and all the spells are INT/FAI?

Submit

does mit have standard halberd moveset or GSS moveset

Submit

Really should’ve either had frostbite, a unique follow up on the AoW (which is just Sword Dance with Rancor Spirits) or a unique heavy attack. As it stands the AoW is fine since Sword Dance is a good AoW anyway but, it’s a little sad it’s just recycled with no useful uniqueness. All the rancor spirits do is add a little flair.

Submit

Start at the Charo’s Hidden Grave SoG and walk through the arch to the northwest, turn right directly after and take the path that ramps up north, follow it to where it meets the edge of the Gravesite Plains and it will be on a grave

Submit

After playing around with this, it has become one of my new favorite weapons. It has the Nightrider Glaive moveset, but I think it has a different (but mechanically similar) R2. It scales mostly with DEX it seems, and the AOW is actually pretty decent despite what other people are saying. It's like a slightly faster Double Slash with projectiles that further increase poise damage on big guys, and allows for you to use it to deal with crowds.

If I wanted another frostbite machine I'd just use the ones we have in the base game.

Submit

I'm assuming this isnt in the early upper region and instead in the lands you can see from the cliff?

Submit

Which halberd moveset does this one use?

Submit

is the location wrong

Submit

More of a dex weapon than an intelligence one. When fully upgraded with 50 int it has less than 150 magical damage in total. Maybe the ash of war exclusively scales with it or something though

Submit

At +10, Str and Int stay D while Dex goes up to C...Which is very close to Death Poker, but with a worse Ash of War.
But since we have the ash of war from death's poker that we can move around, all of these death weapons seem inferior to just infusing. Such a shame.

Submit

The death stuff in SotE is so disappointing. Copy & Paste Death's Poker skill as an AoW, two weapons with the same generic rancorcall weapon art, and only one spell that matches the ghostflame aesthetic.

Submit

Wish this would have frostbite build-up as a passive effect.

Submit

WHERE ARE YOU OH HOW I WANT THEE

Submit

Might be fun on a mage as a melee stick!

Black, Death, Dex/Int Glaive? i must be dreaming
