Elden Ring Stamp (Upward Cut) Guide, Notes & Tips
- This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Stamp (Upward Cut).
- FP Cost: 5(8)
- This Skill is not Chargeable
- Usage: Press (L2/Special skill), then (R2/Heavy attack).
- (L2/Special skill) Will cause you to brace for impact, which absorbs one hit from an enemy
- (R1/Light attack) Performs the 2nd attack in the light attack combo. This does not cost FP.
- (R2/Heavy attack) Can be performed either immediately or after absorbing one strike, and performs an Upward Cut, which knocks up smaller enemies, or deals significant damage to bosses. Even on enemies it doesn't knock up it does a lot of poise damage, even more than a fully charged R2. On enemies it does knock up you can usually safely follow up with a fully charged R2.
NOTE: This skill was changed with Patch 1.07 as follows:
- The delay between the end of various actions (like using items or attack animations) has been reduced and being able to perform the skill
- Attack Power was increased.
- Timing between the end of the skill and performing actions other than the strong attack has been reduced.
- While not mentioned in the patch notes, after using the skill, inputting light attack will now perform the 2nd attack in the light attack combo.
NOTE: As of Patch 1.08, the poise value during the active part of the Stamp Weapon Art has been increased.

This thing on a greatsword works wonders against rennalla if you’re having trouble with her.

One biggest crime of both Stamps is that you cannot perform it while you are getting attacked (without regarding to passive poise). For example, you can pop Endure at any given moment even if you are getting hit right at this moment. But Stamp needs few frames of not being staggered for it to kick in, otherwise you will just be staggered and AoW won't be performed. Pity, really.

Default skill on the Bastard Sword as well, which is not listed here. It's pretty funny to launch enemies into the air with an uppercut from a relatively small sword

This thing is great on big weapons and it shines against humanoids. I used the Greatsword with it and Vyke couldn't touch me, he got chain-tossed around to death. Assassins too, various knights, anything that's not a Crucible Knight or too big will be sent flying...It also breaks poise nicely, especially combined with R2s, and the damage is good.

Any tips how to use it in pvp? I’m trying, put people either have time to dodge sweep completely, or I take full damage for using it too early. It’s tough but I want to use it

I run this with alexander shard and both branchswords. The stamp plus the bonus from the branchswords turns you into a trading powerhouse.

I think Stamp had to be a single AOW. Simply made it towards you could follow up with R1 (Sweep) and R2 (Upward Cut) just like Wild strike or Spinning Strikes.

On the Zweihander this ash of war is great for swatting the flying misbegottens at castle Morne

Stamp sweep and upward cut should have been the same ash of war, just like Unsheathe and Square off

I use this just for pure satisfaction of seeing enemies fly upwards and smashing on the ground. It can even slightly stagger crucible knights which usually are resistant to any sort of flinches.

Can actually make crucible knights flinch and interrupts them.

Pretty great with the pumpkin helmet. The low stance makes it easy for the helmet to absorb the attack on top of the stamp damage reduction.

Works really well with Zwei. Send an opponent flying and then charging the R2, which a long poke. Will catch them as they come back up.
Also this AoW is literal staggercity.

This may be the most powerful skill for colossal weapons in PvE, or maybe just one of the most powerful skills on anything that can use it. I've tested the poise damage it does extensively, and the combos that open up with that.
For example, against a Shunning Ground Omen, you can open with a stamp, which is almost guaranteed to connect because of hyper armor, then take a step or two forward and charge an R2. The R2 will catch them on wake up and stance break them immediately. After the riposte, start charging an R2 immediately, and you'll catch them on wake up again, stunning them for a charged R2 follow up, and another break/riposte. This combo can be cycled infinitely against just about any humanoid enemy. Tested with a Golem Halberd.
Another fun note, is the poise damage on this skill is independent from the weapon type. I ran up to a troll with a warpick, and got a stance break in two stamps. Most skills are like this.

This skill has been my secret weapon while using heavy weapons. The L2 invulns you for a few frames and the follow-up R2 staggers almost everything.

This move is the best for UGS because it basically has built-in parry with 3 options out of it. The second best is the Giant Hunt I think.
