Elden Ring Vacuum Slice Guide, Notes & Tips
- This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Vacuum Slice.
- FP Cost: 14
- This Skill is not Chargeable
- This Skill is not affected by the base damage or scaling of the weapon, but has its own base damage and Strength and Dexterity scaling, which are affected by infusions.
- NOTE: Prior to Patch 1.07, did not deal additional damage if both the physical slash and the projectile both connected, but Patch 1.07 added damage detection to the weapon part of the skill as well, also increased motion speed and the range of the blade and reduced FP consumption.

This weapon art fills me with an unreasonable amount of glee everytime I use it, and I don't know why
It feels so swift and satisfying, and it looks cool too!
VACUUM SLIIIIIIIICE!

This is perfectly fine and balanced. Keep it this way. Otherwise you'll get some dumb s*** like this website making a guide on how you can use Storm Blade as replacement for R1 and R2 in melee combat.

I thought this was a ground based projectile for a long time. It actually just travels parallel to the ground. Meaning you can aim it ip and down. Think of it like a fast and vertical darkmoon slash

No offense but these kind of skills boring af in pve. Same as darkmoon. What a point of being melee if you gonna spam this crap from range, might as well go wizard and be ranged coward. Not for TRUE melee players.

You can aim the projectile into the air now I think thats why people are missing this attack and it going into the ground you can free aim it down you have to free aim slightly upwards

What exactly IS the scaling on this thing? How much does it get from Strength and Dexterity? If Cold Infusions just increase the scaling (while decreasing the base damage), would that also decrease the Base Damage of this attack? If not, wouldn't that just make Cold a strict upgrade to baseline Weapons in terms of Storm Blade damage?

Vacuum Slice works just fine on flat ground but on uneven ground the wave just doesn't go through like it's supposed to.
Even though Blasphemous Blade has a similar projectile with its weapon art that doesn't have this issue. Showing the problem is unique to Vacuum Slice.
Also in my experience. There are times where Vacuum Slice will hit a target and do zero damage, sometimes staggering them with no damage too. I don't know if its damage is hindered by enemies with high poise or if it's simply bugged. Take caution when using this Ash of War.

This skill is a nice way to punish spell casters and other weapon arts at a range. If you have not used this ash on a quality build, I highly recommend it.

can be put on greataxes. feels pretty good to use too, offsets the otherwise slow close-range moveset

Following patch 1.07, this skill is actually quite powerful now. The distance the wave travels was increased, it can be aimed up or down (depending on where your target is), the skill comes out faster, AND FP was reduced.
It acts now, in my opinion, as a better/upgrade to Storm Blade.

slow predictable ranged slash that deals moderate physical damage: 18 FP
incredibly fast ranged slash that deals insanely high magic damage: 15 FP
