Old moonlight, at first I thought the spell was ♥♥♥♥

[K0mbo]

Then I practiced for a bit and learnt how to bait opponents into getting REKT by that beautiful spell...♥♥♥♥ hits hard too but requires some prep....

[Dain]

Any tips?? I want to learn how to use this so bad qq

[K0mbo]

always try to hit them point blank

[K0mbo]

and you will be mostly successful against slow opponents
ultra greats, curved greats, hammers.... as long as they swing twice you got a free hit
with the right stats one hit point blank uncharged will do 700dmg pretty good for its casting speed

.In a group pvpv? yeah. same as other spells. In duels vs an opponent who knows what he is doing? Highly unlikely.

Souls greatsword is better than non charged Old Moonlight (higher damage+ longer reach +can catchroll.)

OM charged version? You will never hit anyone with this especially in melee range(extremely slow movement and cant dodge)

What's worse it's hitbox is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Charged ranged wave looks huge but it's hitbox is much,much smaller.

If you have some secrets then do tell, coz I just don't see it working.

i have also had some luck with this, i have never in any of the DS games touched on sorceries. as i always saw people in pvp just spam the same attack and walk backwards and though that looks boring, so finally iv made a sorceries cha but a meele sorcerier, and have been having great sucess.
my load out is: main wep: cresent moon sword (OP but no one uses it for some reason) offhand wep: aquamarine dagger, and finally i use teh sorcerie staff.
Spells: Old moonlight, flash sword and pestalant murcury.

i use Old moonlight to bait people into rolling into me, giving me plenty of time to get free R1s off or if the roll back they get hit by OM, also i only use on my last bit of FP to cast pestalant murcury to back the enamy up so i can drink to recover FP

Yes I have success with it in 1v1 pvp
I normally blast people with the moonlight greatswords wave attack and those are much slower, so OM is a nice alternative

The whole point is to hit opponents at point blank range thats how I land the hits and the opponents, with the right setup you dont even need to charge it to nuke people. Every school of magic is easy to dodge in this game.

and no soul greatsword does not out damage it....it just has better reach.

Niiiiiice....... lightning stake to Old moonlight is pretty cool too

Well,you are right

vs firekeeper

SG= 1085
OM=1373


However.. OM can't always connect both ranged and melee attacks. So there is always a chance you'll get just a fraction of that damage

Switching between the sword spells is an interesting melee mage playstyle.

I did it already, but is hard as ♥♥♥♥...specially hit with the Dark edge.

Dark edge is more useful as a bait into dagger swings or to counter strike jumpers.

[K0mbo]

I normally use it sparingly and I chose which opponents will I have more success with ie I dont spam it.

A good move is to remove lock and throw it in anticipation with a sudden turn. It only does moderate damage but at full charge its worth hitting with in a duel.

Also harder to avoid than most spells. Its why lightning arrow is good, you can hold the spell until you see an opening or even cancel it with a roll if they get up in your face.

The problem is..OM's hitbox is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I saw numerous times it was supposed to hit players, even mobs, but it didn't. And Im not even talking about dodges. It simply didn't hit them although visually it's chraged wave clearly passed through them (not the central part)

Arrow is faster and there is no "swing" ergo it is much more unpredictable.. I remember I was testing OM vs my friend and he dodged every single ranged hit without any sweat. ;)

point blank people!!!!!
the crystal sage staff WA buffs the court sorcerors on your right and at point blank range you can two shot most players cause one attack will do 700
