Rejection | Elden Ring Wiki

The quick uncharged attack of this will knock the large misbegottens with the long shaft axes straight on their butts, and then you can get in about 5 good whacks while they try to get up.
It's probably not a spell to main, but it definitely has its useful situations

Submit

Force was a constant threat in DS3. I don't think I've ever seen another player cast Rejection. There are so many other surprise ledge knock abilities now, with better range, easier control, and/or faster startup.

Submit

Completely by accident, I "rejected" an albinauric vomit attack. You know that silver goo they spew at you? I was in the middle of casting and it just tossed the projectile aside and into the ground.

Now I'm wondering if this spell can actually "parry" other projectiles.

Submit

I don’t care what you people say any more. I’m spamming erdtree in the arena. Rejection mix ups with wrath of gold sets up heals really nicely. Rejection rejects swarm of flies allowing me to stack buffs/heals against bleed builds.

Submit

Soft combos into Erdtree heal, breaks open fingerprint shield with mace talisman, one shots near ledges, disorganizes ganks and sets up for Wrath of Gold, Miquellas Light and even prayerful strike in pvp.

Submit

No reason at all this should be 12 faith, min 10 or even base. Great job from for balance.

Submit

I was about to spam rejection all the playthrough until I used it against a full armored guy and he felt nothing while smashed me to near death with a colossal weapon. I gave up, I don't need to reject foot soldiers or wandering nobles.

Submit

why is everyone casting this to me irl

Submit

"Oh, yea! Take this, TAKE THIS!"

Submit

Today while invading I encountered a pair of players who waited for me to show up and when they spotted me the summon started spamming the polite bow gesture while the host kept spamming Rejection to give her backshots via the pelvic thrusts this spell makes you do.
That was the fastest I ever pulled out the severer.

Submit

So the npc rejection throws me from well past melee range with little notice but I can't use mine against zombies without getting a torch in my face? k

Submit

Incredible utility spell that's severely hampered by a slow base cast speed and oddly short range. Something about it feels awkward compared to Force from the other games, probably due to how late in the animation the shockwave comes out and the general lack of narrow edges in Elden Ring.

Submit

You can use this on the wandering aristocrat in Caelid that drops the larval tear after turning into a troll. If you knock the noble off he will die to fall damage and morph into the troll and be stuck on a precarious ledge.

Submit

amazing spell in general, immense amounts of utility. It's great in PvE but I especially like it for PvP. 10/10 spell for making space, knocking people off cliffs, scaring the **** out of people while hiding as a mimic, bullying people in a corner, and asserting your faithchad prowess over weakling INT builds and foolish pure melee heathens

Submit

Most underrated spell. So cheap for such great utility how come everyone dont have this at hand? Is someone doing something you dont like? Just reject! Got stuck in a tight cliff edge with a PvP opponent? Reject them off the edge! Is Rennala casting a Comet Azur in your face? Just reject and make her fall on her ass! Getting swarmed by a bunch of trash mobs? Nope, reject! Infinite possibilities.

Submit

Did anybody try this to counter Malenia's bullcrap combo?

Submit

Does anyone know if this spell stops the enemy's stance health from recovering?

Submit

Unironically great spell against Crystalians - stance break with it is easy, as 5 uninterrupted casts and armor is gone. Plus every Rejection knocks them, making them helpless against this approach. Then just punch them with virtually anything and problem is gone.

Submit

why did they name a spell after my attempts at finding a prom date

Submit

This should deal 9999 damage to all male tarnished

Submit

Use this against a skeleton it is hilarious how far they fly

Submit

Why do girls keep using this spell against be IRL

Submit

I used this spell to clean up a wandering mausoleum, only to find that it can push them back a bit. You could maybe push a mausoleum somewhere it shouldn't be.

Submit

that's what she said

Submit

Nothing really brings me joy in the same way that shoving a massively overleveled ganker off a ledge to his death does. Fromsoft may refuse to implement proper summon scaling or restrictions to this day, but at the end of the day a moron is still a moron.

Submit

When a group of Gankers are following you, and being dumb they don't realise you are leading them over a cliff and then BOOM, see ya, GG very fun fight!

Submit

This is your go-to spell, following a powerful attack that would otherwise be too slow to hit.

Submit

Anyone know if the AOE improves when Faith or Seal is leveled up? Right now it only works point blank unless charged. I'm using the Clawmark Seal +4 with 30 strength and 18 faith.

Submit

A recent study reveals that this spell describes the love life of every dual status buildup spears user.

Pros:

+ Useful with flails/whips since they do not bounce off shields one-handed and with every bit of dexterity put on will make rejection faster. One free heavy on flails/whips if you put an enemy to the ground.
+ Use flail to trick Knights to attack you after you hit their shield and then use rejection for a free charged heavy on them
+ Useful with big weapons to throw off enemies
+ Low cost and low requirement
+ One fully charged rejection or two not charged chain casted rejections will make Leyndell, Godrick Cavalries, Kaiden Cavalries to fall off their horse allowing you to easily finish them off with a critical hit to their chest
+ One uncharged rejection against Leyndell knight, Rotten Knight, Godrick Knight, Cuckoo Knight and Crystallians will make them fall to the ground allowing for a free heavy on them and possibly an endless free heavy spree if you use rejection correctly
+ Two FULLY charged chain casted rejections to make Cuckoo Knight Cavalry to fall off their horse. Very inconsistent with not charged rejections since sometimes they would fall off at 5 or 7 rejections instead of 2 like the other knights above.
+ Banished Knight cannot be pushed so they fall to the ground, but instead will take a step back. 7 uncharged repeated rejections will poise break and stun them allowing for a sweet critical hit. WARNING: DO NOT USE CHARGED REJECTION SINCE THEY ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE TO USE IT PROPERLY AGAINST THEM.
+ Can be used with a crossbow to push potential foes away from you
+ Can make online players fall off from high places if used at the right time


Cons:

- Bad range
- Useless with most boss fights
- Does not give poise
- Do not give you free critical hits when normal enemies fall to the ground
- Have to hit the cavalry rider and not the horse to make Knights fall off effectively for a critical hit, making it harder to pull off in general combat situations
- Banished Knights cannot fall to the ground
- Cannot be effectively used against the red eyed banished knight at Castle Sol
- Not very useful against shields with most weapons
- Not useful against Rotten Knight's rapier special block and will instead give them usually a free attack on you
- Can repel arrows/bolts but unfortuantly wont shoot it back at attacker, so use shield instead to block
- Online players lag may make rejection not work properly (Not being pushed away when really they should)

The testing were done in first playthrough with Clawmark Seal and 17 faith, 48 strength (Not that I think this matters, but just in case). Thanks for reading =)

Sidenote: Why is there no ash of war for this, but one that deals damage like morne's hammer from Dark souls 3? And why is there no projectile version like the one Siegward in Dark Souls 3 gives you, but actually a bit better allowing for single target use. Barely anyone used it because it were mostly useless against anything so I don't know why they didn't give a better version of it in this game.

The description makes this sound like the "begone, THOTS" of incantations.

Submit

The mobs at the Palace approach Ledge-Road that stay sitting passive until attacked. Won't aggro from this spell. You can boot most of them off the cliff. It makes farming that hill fun.

Submit

My favorite incant in the game for both PvE and PvP. Knocks around trash mobs like the putrid corpses in front of Mohg's palace, and knocks low poise nerds flat on their asses. I can't unequip Radagon's icon because of this incant.

Submit

PSA This is really useful against flying enemies like warhawks and bats. If you time it right it’ll knock them onto their backs for a few seconds and you can pick them off while on the ground!

Submit

So basically, according to it’s description, this incantation is the embodiment of “BEGONE THOT”.

Submit

ROBERTOOOOO！！

Submit

So this is the incantation the girls use when I ask them out.

Submit

call me a douche, but i invade with this + jar cannon in the haligtree canopy

Submit

I used this yesterday on some albinaurics and after they got up, they just stood there. They completely ignored me. Is this a bug or a feature of the spell?

Submit

what's the difference between this and WoG?

Submit

im doing a spirit summons only run and im wondering if this draws agro if it hits a boss thats distracted?

This spell is so useful. carried me through Ds2, too. Take advantage of every ledge you see, gravity kills all

Submit

Yeet

Submit

I went out with a girl who runs a faith build but she cast rejection, she was too loyal to the two fingers…

Submit

can repel arrows

Submit

pretty god incant. Quick cast and low cost, I have used it through my whole playthrough. 7/10

Submit

Clerics when your Ring of Sacrifice™ gets declined

Submit

I just tried this spell in an invasion. It's useless, because you have to stand close to the opponent and it can be easily interrupted with just a casual swing.

Submit

Every time I try to hit on girls they cast this on me.

Submit

It really needs a cast time buff as right now there's no reason to use it over WOG

Submit

Much like gravity sorcery, this will also knock any flying enemies out of the air and flat on their back in a vulnerable state. Unfortunately you have to be french-kissing them for it to land since the range is so short but even so it's a useful tool for faith players to handle birds and the like.

Submit

Has anyone used this to cheese someone off a cliff?

"the worst she can do is say no"

Submit

Maybe you could use it to make up for long cast time spells? Hard for them to do anything while their face is two feet under the ground.

Submit

in normal circumstances this spell has very little use. however it has on very niche use. it deals no damage but can still pull agro which makes it a great spell for certain challenge runs (eg no attacking)

Submit

In every game I don't think this is ever worth the attunement/memory slot...

Submit

that's what she said

Submit

Does this work on spells ?

Submit

Almighty Push!!!

Submit

For a spell that only works in point blank range the cast time is too long.

Submit

This has to be the most hilarious spell in the game. Especially in PVP.

Submit

Why did I expect to see something useful in the comment section?

Submit

does this work on bosses

Submit

I went out with a girl who had an incantation build, guess what happened?

Submit

does this still reflects arrows or throwable items like the counterparts in the dark souls series?

Submit

i reject my humanity, Jojo!

Submit

Santen keishun, i reject!

Submit

They casted this spell on me in email form

Submit

REJECTED!
