Cursed-Blood Slice | Elden Ring Wiki

Would have liked an ash of war copy of this skill like we see with other somber ones
Maybe lightning

this thing obliterates malenia, it locks her into a full combo and breaks her stance easily, its fucking insane but i guess only on that boss because she flinches at every attack larger than a dagger, also 20 fp cost is bullshit you're kinda forced to wear the filigreed crest if you want this ash

Submit

Only for true chads

Submit

This is a bit too costly FP wise, I feel like 12 (-12) or even 15 (-15) would have been more reasonable.

Patch 1.0-1.08: Weapon art was a true combo.
Patch 1.09: the weapon art could combo into r1, or r2 was a true roll-catch (useful for higher damage), weapon art was no longer a true combo.
Patch 1.09.1: The weapon art cannot true combo into itself without triggering a bleed proc off the fire explosion. If the enemy's poise is low enough, the explosion will keep the enemy staggered and allow a true combo with r1.

Rating before 1.09: 8/10
Rating during 1.09: 10/10
Rating 1.09.1-1.16: 5.5/10

In pve the weapon severely lacks compared to the competition in the category (Bloodhound's fang is better for bloodloss, and at the same arcane investment bloodflame blade is able to be utilized). In PvP the greatest strength this weapon had was it's true combo capabilities, which have been heavily neutered since. I cannot recommend it anymore, and this is coming from someone who mained this weapon for a very long time.

Such a goddamn shame this is locked behind such a crap sword. Seriously post nerf RoB does more damage at the 50/50 dex/arc and weighs less and is more annoying to deal with. What was from thinking here?

Submit

So what's the damage type of the skill? Fire? Magic?

Submit

Remove lock-on and this thing is quite a big shot. If you use the first dash to retreat you can still hit what was behind you with ease and even follow up if the latency gods are feeling on the mood.

Submit

It should perhaps be mentioned that this skill seems to dispel your weapon buff, even if the buff was Bloodflame. This makes it significantly less attractive than other skills when min-maxing.

Submit

The hyper armor on this is kind of crazy. I have an 89 poise build that tanks through colossals, Stormcaller, Blind Spot, you name it for both L2s consecutively. Aside from poising through nearly everything this is such a great skill for mixups with the already good CGS moveset, as the explosion (if not the hit itself) from the first use often catches people who dodge an R1 or running R1. Kinda expensive, but I think it's justified and it works great on a fth/arcane setup with some extra mind and an offhand seal.

Submit

so whats the lore reason behind morgott having bloodflame? did he learn it from mohg? itd make sense he only pulls it out when close to death from a foul tarnished if so.

I've spent a couple hours in testing some things looking at the actual values in memory and would like to share some conclusions. These conclusions are for PvE:

1. Both the weapon and the explosion deal separate stance damage, and bloodloss build up.
2. The bloodloss buildup from the explosion seems to scale with Arcane and mildly with weapon level.

At +0 with 7/45/99 Arcane, I am observing ~25/50/60 bloodloss buildup respectively. This is just the explosion part of the AoW.

At +10 with 7/45/99 Arcane, I am observing ~25/60/70 bloodloss buildup respectively. Again, just the explosion part of the AoW.

The stance damage breakdown is as follows:

1st attack
Explosion = 8 stance damage
Weapon hit = 10.12 stance damage

Optional followup
Explosion = 8 stance damage
Weapon hit = 13.2 stance damage.

So combining everything together, with a +10 weapon and 45 Arcane, the AoW (including the follow-up) is gonna cost you 40fp and do 39.32 stance damage, and ~288 bleed buildup. Plus the damage obviously.

in PvE the 20 FP cost is a little hard to justify ngl

Submit

Remember the baller asf flaming slices from Lady Maria or Abyss Watcher? We can finally do that now

Submit

Do the slashes from the sword hit separately from the fire slashes following? if so does that mean physical damage buffs apply to the ash of war along with fire damage buffs?

Submit

Why does this always stagger

Submit

This one's pretty tricky to counter but I think I figured it out! When you see someone do this you run away and hope they don't do it again, repeat until they either swap or do anything else. Hope this helps!

Submit

This just leaves RoB in shame. Two quick slices with decent bleed on their own + bloodflame explosion that they will fall into, even if they interrupt you. In fact, trying to interrupt this weapon skill just jails them into another one

Submit

Can the WA be parried?

Submit

Should of added a flat fire damage buff to the weapons AR after using the AOW

Submit

Morgott be listening to big bro Mohg's builds

Submit

Does this AOW do additional blood build up to a normal R1/R2 attack? It says no gradual bleed build up but I'm curious to know if it has an increased bleed amount?

Submit

Nerfed poise damage on the Ash of War as of 1.09.1

Submit

Do the slashes themselves deal fire damage, or is it just the explosions?

Submit

Love this Weapon Art. Love the weapon. So much fun to use. 10/10

Submit

How im i supposed to dodge this? No matter what i do i always seem to get caught in either the attack or the explosion way out of the visual range.

Submit

The bleed from this seems to increase a lot with arcane level, but the fire damage seems to be based only on weapon level.

Submit

I really like the sword and this weapon art. It's very good for dealing with multiple enemies that are closing in to try and surround then stun-lock you to your death, like the white wolves around Liurnia. It is also a surprisingly good sword to use with the curved sword talisman for guard counters. That's my go-to for easily dealing with the night's cavalry and this at +9 is shredding them in NG+ much more effectively than a flame art infused +25 Lordsworn's greatsword was in my first playthrough.

Submit

Doesn’t do as much damage as I hoped, bleed curved swords (bandit or scavengers) with seppuku still better

Submit

secret gundyr 2.0

Submit

Does the skill scale with arcane, dex or overall damage the weapon does?

Submit

Does somebody have the exact values on how much poise damage, as well as bleed does this AoW inflict on top of its innate bleed? Is the bleed buildup of the AoW specifically affected by the arcane stat, weapon's total AR or a constant number, like Bloodflame Blade? Trying to compare it to the Bloodblade Dance AoW.

Submit

is it match with ROB?

Submit

Wearing briars gear will deal damage to enemies as you do the forward lunge just before the slice it doesnt work with other abilities that have a forward lunge but does for this one for some reason

Submit

How much poise does this have? It feels like there's none. Is it just your poise? Because I'm getting staggered out of this animation by a single thrust.

Submit

It's parryable?

Submit

Way too overpowered in pvp, this is literally worse than Bloodhound’s Step and ROB idc.

Submit

Hitting any of this is a true combo, it's much harder to hit than, say, RoB, since this one has a tell and a grace period for the target to panic roll, but getting hit is about the same level of devastating. Powerful but fair in PvP. Also bleed for PvE I guess.

Submit

Can the fire damage be buffed

Submit

Hows the poise damage?

Submit

Very good WA in pvp

Submit

Nuts

Submit

Can it be duplicated?

Submit

Does this also inflict bleed?
