Elden Ring Swift Slash Guide, Notes & Tips
- This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Swift Slash
- FP Cost: 16
- Deals 10 Stance damage uncharged and 20 fully charged
- This Skill is Chargeable
- Upon activation, the user crouches reading the weapon and slashes forward with both blades, becoming invisible during the dash, and leaving a damaging shearing vacuum shortly after.
- The shearing vacuum attack is centered behind the user's end position.
- If the Skill is used without FP, the shearing vacuum does not occur. However, the skill can still be used for dashing, which can be used for evading attacks and traversing on lava or any other muddy terrain that would otherwise slow you down.
- The repeated slashes of the shearing vaccum can be used for inflicting status effect buildup.
NOTE: Patch 1.12.3: Decreased the damage and damage animation of the shearing vacuum effect of the skill.
NOTE: Patch 1.13: Reduced movement distance when using this skill (cut by roughly half) and extended recovery time.

Back to useless we go, 100 invasions - not a single swift slash user, mission complete.

Damn, the range was the one thing I didn't want touched, and now it's been cut in ****in half. I know it was a bit silly, but this skill has now gone the same way as Bloodhound Step for me where I can't use it without thinking about how awful it feels compared to what used to be. It definitely deserved to get nerfed, I just wish they'd gone about it a different way.

elden ring dosent have any spell like teleportation or something to move you in a safer place
nerf more the damage not the distance

So far, so good with the nerfs, it hasn't been made useless, but has gotten more manageable to fight against. A little bit more fine-tuning and this thing will be in a good spot balance wise.

I don’t really see how it’s any worse than 2-handed colossal sword rolling thrust attacks but sure.

Love using this to make coop'ers mad. You got all the advantage from Miyazaki since the game came out, and now reds are finally getting their chance for revenge.

For some reason with patch 1.12 you can no longer duplicate the ash of war
- Anonymous
Hey can someone duplicate and drop this for me, muły gamer tag is Mafamilia24, if you can’t I can duplicate it and give it right back, I’ll drop ledas blade so you don’t think I’ll run off with it. I need Lesa’s blade for a trade I’m making later on today so please don’t run off with that either.

The startup and recovery frames needs to massively increase for a viable nerf.
