He's doing a fairly good job this time so go check out his stream.

He went from moonlight sword and start fists to a massive number of DLC weapons are S tier.

Cuz duh.

Again I wasn't the first person to say every DLC weapon is broken, there were a ton of amazing people in the community who put in the work to prove that.

Rather then me just providing my anecdotal experiences.

End game equipment is S tier? No way!

[Nifty]

This was in fact largely denied by the community for almost a month after the DLC was released.

It wasn't until PVE speed runners started realizing that even something like a light greatsword was arguable better then 90% of vanilla weapons.

[marek.jop1]

The DLC weapons are nothing special really, well maybe just a few of them are really good but excellent? None.

[Nifty]

...buh?

Practically every single dlc weapon is a pvp killer.

Great katanas - goat
Thrusting shield- Literally banned
Reverse blades - blind spot says hello
New dual curved swords - best in class
New UGS - ridiculous

Even the absolute holdouts like Yowy are like yep I was wrong sorry guys.

Don't even get me started on all the auto win range weapons.

Its just status to the face all day long.

Imagine how free equipable throwing daggers are but it also eats your entire life bar.

Maybe but Elden Ring is not a PVP game, keep it in mind so something is seriously wrong here

I barely ever see the sword from the final boss. I personally use a weapon found midway through the game. I've seen a ton of Bloodhound Fang, a weapon you get very early on. Elden Ring didn't have that before, and the DLC weapons are leaps and bounds beyond even the old best weapons. PVP is pretty weak right now at high levels because of it.

[LuckyCheshire]

The DLC weapons were terrible, and then they got nerfed, so now they're OP. Yup. That's just how 'public opinion' goes.

[Nifty]

I still don't know what you guys are talking about even if we were just talking about reverse blades alone they have the AR of like a 6 pound weapon for two pounds and there's two of them.

In what universe is every single dlc weapon not amazing?

Like do you literally need someone to make a video speed running bosses with every weapon to believe they are good?

Are you sheeping that hard bro?

Just because someone did one with light greatsword and it's not even the best weapon in the dlc...it was instantly rated S tier.

Think for yourself, actually test things.

Discover knowledge.

Like even if you just stacked blue dancer, with shattered stone, Alexander shard, and two headed turtle.

You would have like an A+ tier martial arts build for pvp.

Thank God I dont listen to people and just do my own thing because the BAH RAM YOU is real.

Overall he is pretty spot on but it also shows like you said that just being creative and testing yourself can reveal great set ups. An example is the rennalla twinblade he is not a fan of and perhaps at a meta level maxing at 150 that is correct due to quad scaling. But at high levels that quad scaling gives one of the best AR's in the entire game.

[Nifty]

Yeah and even if you don't care about AR with quad scaling simple spells into fire storm mix ups can carry.

I am not watching a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2 hour long Tier list.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ edit your videos.

Exactly my point. I don't really listen to public opinion on equipment, or at the very least until it all shakes out in a few months post-inevitable-rebalancing.

As it stands, I'd say most of the DLC weapons are fantastic. There are always a few duds though. The imp hatchet, the final boss swords, the Horned Warrior paired swords, both daggers, the new flail is still a flail, the Bloodfiend's Sacred Spear, yada yada yada. And I'm not saying that any of those are Torchpole unusable, just that they're wildly underwhelming or outclassed. There are a ton of really great DLC weapons though, a better percentage than in the base game.
