Elden Ring: Optimal Button Layout For PVP

if you have not heard when you're in the crotch animation you will automatically do a rolling attack when you press r1 this is massive for a lot of weapons especially things like ultra great swords great spears greatswords that all have decent rolling attacks and generally gain from using their rolling attacks in neutral now unfortunately there's a problem with this because of the default mapping it was mapped to left analog stick the problem with this is that a lot of times you need to turn your character and craft at the same time the problem is this sucks to do and so the past few weeks i've been looking for alternative mappings that would allow you to do this without really hurting your hand or anything like that and i think i've found is some decent solutions and i'm going to walk you through that in this video i'm going to present two solutions one that i very much so prefer and the other not so much though i feel that it comes up to personal preference so i'm gonna present both just to see what you all think the first one that i want to present is one that i don't like as much and that would be to just swap the input for crouch to x and then swap the input for x to left analog stick that would put estes and items on your left analog stick and then things like crouching on the x button generally this works out pretty well the only downside though is you lose a bit of dexterity with items though there is one other thing that you need to think about if you ever want to free aim your crouching attacks you're going to have to claw which is the only reason why i don't like it like this is perfectly valid as a way of doing this and i'm going to change it further because i don't like ever using claw my preferred setup goes as such skill weaponr is going to be on the x button crouch is left trigger and then item is still on left analog stick in my experience this has led to the most dynamic play at the easiest cost of my hands let's go see how that works one of the most important things to know how to do when trying to implement crouch attacks into your playstyle is to know how to turn and do a crotch attack at the same time this is because the net code in this game is actually really good and a lot of times you can run out of the range of people's attacks pretty much on reaction sometimes yeah sometimes nad depends on latency but when you do this a lot of times the fastest way to get a punish especially on things like ultra is to run straight away crouched and turn around crouch attack doing this on the original button layout is horde i don't really know what the rest of the community has been experiencing with it but i dropped a lot of inputs while trying to do that my accuracy of inputs has like doubled or tripled like i don't drop that anymore which is fantastic the next hardest thing that you need to know how to do is how to chain crouching attacks this is only useful on certain weapons but doing them one after the other is pretty darn safe if not perfectly safe when doing it with things like ultra or greatspear generally it's probably the safest options to do after hit rather than the things like roll catching but you don't always want to do those because people will mash out and then they went out doing that so always having a safe option after landing a hit is awesome and probably one of the second bet is probably the second best way of using or utilizing the uh crash attack in this game the best being roll catches the biggest thing that i haven't answered yet is what do you do if you want to use items or estes my work around for this is just using the y inputs i have four items um y down y up wise right y left and that's pretty much enough that's estes blue estus and then whatever throwing consumables that you want technically you can still use the lipstick to do this as well uh it's whatever you're most comfortable with though and i think that the input is actually better with two buttons versus just one button in that button being a joystick one caveat being i really don't use items occasionally i use some throwing knives as finishers but beyond that yeah so your mileage may just vary i hope videos like this sort of inspired people to just fiddle with the status quo like you don't have to keep whatever um button layout since it's completely customizable at this point so if you liked the video drop a like and subscribe and i will see you next time bye bye
