Elden Ring Loretta's Slash Guide

• This is an Ash of War Skill, associated with the Ash of War: Loretta's Slash.
• FP Cost: 14
• Deals 12+10 (Total 22 ) stance damage
• This Skill is not Chargeable
• This Skill cannot be Parried
• Damage type is Physical Damage and Magic Damage
• Damage scales with weapon scaling. This used to be different, see stricken out text below.
  • For high INT builds (tested with 20 STR, 20 DEX, 80 INT), a Magic Cross-Naginata+25 will do more damage with Loretta's Slash than Loretta's War Sickle+10. For all other affinities of the Naginata and for other builds, LSW will do more damage with the skill.
• On the Loretta's War Sickle, this skill scales with AR (see point above), on non-unique weapons with the corresponding Ash of War, it scales with Intelligence only, even if the Magic or Frost affinities have not been set on that weapon.
  • Non-unique magic weapons will deal more damage with his skill on an 80 Intelligence build, which is the standard for mage builds, than the Loretta's War Sickle will with a build set to optimise the LWS's AR, making LWS an inferior choice for this skill.
• Wearing Spellblade Set increases the damage
• The animation itself is identical to the one used by Angel's Wings. This attack deals magic instead of Holy damage, and does not apply the anti-heal status effect.
• This Skill was changed with Patch 1.07 as follows:
  • Poise damage for the first attack has been increased.
  • Delay between the end of various actions (like using items or attack animations) and being able to perform the skill has been reduced.

NOTES: The Skill specifically for Loretta's War Sickle Ash of War also changed with Patch 1.07 as follows:

• Attack Power, Damage of the First Attack and Poise damage have been increased.
