The New MOST POWERFUL Int Weapon Tier List - Best Highest Damage Intelligence Weapons in Elden Ring!

hello and welcome back to race gaming in a new Elden ring Taylor Swift video for patch 1.09 which has changed quite a few things a bunch of weapon types have been newly improved a few have been nerfed so we're taking a look at the best weapons of the intelligence weapon type as always we have Sab and C these are the best weapons I believe you can pick up for an intelligence melee build so even if it is C I do think it's a very good pick but compared to one another of course some are better than others let's begin then from the bottom as always we're gonna work our way up starting with an interesting one the bastard Stars flail I really wondered whether this would reach B tier and you could argue that it could it's undeniably better than it was with the flail Buffs of 1.08 and the flail Buffs of 1.09 flails are undeniably better than they once were however to say that they're like a really good option is a bit unfair they're just a lot more viable and functional than they used to be which was essentially a joke in the case of Bastard Stars 1.07 improved the damage of its Azure War 1.09 changed a bunch of weapon scaling and Stars was one of the ones to benefit from that it now has an intelligent scaling of a from B because of that buff the flare weapon Buffs of 1.09 increase things like speed of various attacks reduced attack recovery time and improved Poise damage when two handing attacks which is what I'm doing in this footage all of this makes it feel a lot better it's a lot more viable instead of it just being a joke when it comes to weapon in its base moveset the damage is just fine okay but there's obviously better picks whereas the ash which was unchanged this patch is reasonable DPS But ultimately does almost the same thing as another weapon on this list but ultimately does less DPS so contextually it's just significantly worse next is another fun one that I'd like to talk about the Watchdog staff newly added to our list this isn't a really fun pit and this comes down to a bug with shadow of Alexander not actually applying to this weapons Ash of War sorcery the Crozier what this does is it creates a bunch of magical sort of bolts that fly at the Target combine that with any other ranged harass like say star shower here and you can be incredibly annoying in PvP that's for sure then you've just got a powerful Magic based colossal weapon which is very reasonable damage of this AR you can get it to in PVE it works much the same just spamming the stars at range and relying on the damage that it can do it's honestly solid and no one really plays it no one really seems to use it I'd really recommend you give it a try because it's in a good place since that patch next up also new to the list is the carrion sword the carrying knight sword is just a good pick for early game intelligence melee fighter builds a great stepping stone before you find your true bill but it will be fine in a playthrough in general in 1.09 this weapon type has had some improvements straight sword see better running attack speed they see reduced recovery attack time on certain attacks and they've improved the first attack of the whole combo that's faster too the issue war in this case can be channeled and charged up to three times to do extra damage and is as you can see fine certainly in the early to mid game it's not going to be insane towards the end game and will fall off in power but it deserves as many people said in the comments the last time at least an acknowledgment for being a great early game aspect of an intelligence build lastly still down in C but just a quick acknowledgment to both of them and these two weapons here the rotten Crystal Sword and the regular Crystal Sword also straight swords so the same Buffs as I just mentioned improve running attack speed recovery time and the first attack is faster they're both just fine without crazy AR Power stance you can attack really quick build up say Scarlet rock with one or double up on just the raw magic of the other much like the carrying sword it's just a nice thing to have while you're casting spells when you are up in melee or low on FP with those out of the way though let's go to beat here we're going to start with another weapon that really should have been on the list as people were talking about it's the clayman's Harpoon and putting it at a very high B arguably a and that is because of its great performance in PVE combined with the pretty much meta pick with this weapon the ice beer Ash you can make this a magic scaling weapon with good intelligence scaling of that not requiring any strength or decks really to level its power meaning you can just full commit to an intelligent spell-based playthrough while having this weapon as a backup in the case of the IceBear Ash you Spin and delay sort of Chip damage to anything nearby and then thrust sending a medium-ranged ice ball that will build up the frost buildup if you're looking for that status proc but also deal as you can see nice pacing damage the predictability of this ash of War means it's very hard or basically never really gonna land in PvP the benefit of this weapon though is how it can be changed in so many ways with a variety of pretty viable affinities and scalings and a load of Ashes you could put on a weapon like this as a spear so it's kind of a universal style weapon for say a varied intelligence build that's why a lot of people like it as a spear it has since some Nerfs this patch though they've decreased the hitbox size for various attacks on spear specifically so that is a slight negative to it and overall this is why I keep it at like a really high beat it is a very good weapon though next a super quick mention of the next one the falling star Beast jaw which is down from an A to a b this is because of the nerves to Poise from the last patch where you can no longer stagger like you see in this footage where you just use the ash over and over and stagger big bosses like even Final Bosses like Malika you could stagger with this to be fair that was kind of crazy and it's a reasonable Nerf and understandable at this point this is just a reasonable colossal weapon with a usable spammable range dash of War for magic damage DPS and so it is good but not as silly and broken kinda as it once was still in B then is Loretta's War sickle which had a previous Ash of war that improved the Poise damage of the first attack kind of gave you this hyper armor and also better recovery which is really nice I found it an okay place in The Meta but the problem is this ash War can be placed on other weapons and it's kind of better to do so because you can get better scaling with that which limits the potential of where I can put this weapon on the list also there were some Buffs and Nerfs to halberds in general they improve running attack speed and recovery time for certain attacks with Alberts but also nerfed their hitbox size for very attacks as well so it's both better and worse this patch it finds itself in a good place but overshadowed by the universe war that does exist that we can put on better scaling weapons now time for another straight sword it's time for the sword of Saint Trina which again as a straight sword has been buffed to have slightly improved running attack speed recovery time and the first attack of the combo comes out quicker this is nice because it is a great sleep weapon and you can get some really nice DPS when you trigger a sleep especially in PvP it can be a bit awkward to do so and with the Poise changes you know lighter weapons like this just don't stagger nearly as much so you must be careful still there is great DPS potential and as a sleep weapon it's a great pick so I like it still in B another weapon improved slightly in this patch is health and steeple the great sword great swords have had some nice Buffs this patch for some reason despite them being great already increase the speed range and recovery time of various attacks has hit this weapon type also this weapon in particular in a previous patch the ash was buffed to last longer give you more attack power and also better Poise and better recovery so overall this weapon since some serious Buffs across the board it'll never really reach crazy DPS levels because it's just kind of a nice Blackfire buff it's not got any damage crazy spikes but it's gonna feel smoother than ever to use so I actually rated quite a high B at this point lastly for BT then I gotta quickly reference the meteoric or blade which as a katana yeah it's another weapon type buff they improve the running attack speed and recover every time for katanas so it's feeling a little bit smoother and with a running thrust of katanas that's very nice the main aspect of course with this weapon is its Ash of War where you slam down and pull people in it does okay damage that's more about the mini CC that provides opportunities after that this weapon also has a really cool heavy attack where you hold it above you and slam down feeling great damage if you can land that but a lot more likely in PVE where you know enemies aren't just gonna see it coming and roll it the damage potential on this weapon is nice and it's feeling smoother to play but its output keeps it in a beat here because it's nothing insane like some of the other ones we'll talk about so now we're already up to eight here where we're firstly talking about the star Scourge great swords which have been buffed this patch shockingly it's the ash in particular that has been buffed you pull people in with the scream to begin with then slam down for the big AOE the pull in does okay damage but it's all about the slam down for the main chunker damage problem was that follow-up came out so slow now that's coming out faster making it a much more reliable option for dealing that follow-up here in PvP that's certainly nice but it is still pretty predictable and rollable but in PVE it just means this weapons damage potentially if you are looking to just Spam The Ash is significantly better so I'm happy to see it with this one next in a tier up from a b tier is the death ritual spirit this comes down to the major buff of 1.09 with this weapons Ash in particular spear call ritual all they've really done is increase the projectile generation speed but that means a lot when it comes to the DPS potential and of course PVP Landing it you are able to absolutely spam this ash to burst enemies down from really long range and it's quite a large AOE as well making it a bit of a nightmare and say free for all when you're spamming it off camera on people fighting or just in PV you know just spamming the ash of war from range stepping back and doing that whenever you can get a quick punish window the DPS potential is much better because of that and it's a lot more viable even in joules to catch someone in trade with this or punish them for trying to cast or even if you just get a little bit of space to do it however as this is a Thrust and spear type weapon there's still that negative of 1.07 where the reduced thrusting weapon counter attack damage in PvP and then of the current patch the spear Nerf where the hitbox size has been reduced a bit undeniably though the DPS potential and general playability of this weapon has gone up thanks to that Ash Improvement so a tier feels just right now a quick one because people weirdly didn't like me talking about these too much in the last two list we of course have the Royal great sardine and also the ruins great sword which are both fantastic colossal swords but the problem and I think why people fairly commented about this is that you just need a little bit of intelligence to use these things and then mostly you're looking for the physical damage and leveling strength of course you can level intelligence to improve their ink based stuff with their ashes or say the gravity of the ruins but it is true that most of the damage will come from the strength stat not intelligence so I understand the complaints about talking about them either way they remain in the strength tier list as great picks and I put them a for the same reason last for 80 then is the sword of Knight and Flame which just is slightly better again this patch as a straight sword improved running attack speed reduced attack recovery time and the first attack comes out quicker though let's be honest we're mainly using this for its Ash of War which was Buffy in the previous patch of 1.07 they actually improved the attack power in PVE and they gave you better directional control of the attacks whether you're using the laser for a point DPS in say PV against the boss aoeing multiple targets with the fire or again doing good damage in boss fights causing a nightmare in say free for all sending fire everywhere it performs generally very good even if it's not as broken as it used to be but now we come to the S tier where we're talking quickly about some old favorites but one new weapon up to s from a it's the deaths poker people have been talking to me about this weapon saying I underrated it I ate here for a long time so I put together a full build to maximize the damage of this weapon in PVE just to see how good it is and yet I've been truly impressed by just how much burst as well as consistent DPS you can get with the fire Frost that you can do placing that frostfire under a Target like a boss and then spamming the explosion to combine DPS numbers you can Skyrocket to say 20K burst pretty damn quick time that's impressive when we're talking about a weapon that isn't a bleed weapon there is some setup required though to really get this kind of damage and that can be a bit of a fast and annoying thing to set up before you actually start going but it's well worth it if you're willing to commit we have a full build video about this on the channel right now but yeah also it's a great sword so in 1.09 that's been buff for some reason increasing the speed range and recovery time of different attacks making the Baseline of this weapon just feel really nice and it's been good in PvP to suddenly catch people with an attack they're just not expecting to be that quick so contextually I think I underrated its PVE capabilities and as a weapon type it is improved and feels a lot better so I do think it deserves finally that s tier spot in the current patch of 1.09 also in St though let's just quickly get through them first up we have moonvale still a PVP God and as a katano it has improved running attack speed and recovery time though we care most of all about the ash of War which is just slamming and destroying people in PvP to this day and dealing nice magic burst in PVE perfect for a quick punish window and a very consistent source of ridiculous damage it's still insane it's still left here much like say the Darkman Greatsword which you just buff up and go to town with a stamina only costing Rune Arc as it were whether you quit tapping it or full charge in it you can do a lot of damage and you can deal the most range damage out of any weapon on its unique Ash War aspect it is still one of the king weapons in the entire game and again as a great sword that's been buffed in the same way that their smoker was so yeah it's somehow better again another patch in a row it's ridiculous it's a fantastic weapon and I feel I do not really need to keep explaining it which brings me to our last weapon the wing of Estelle this is the weapon I was referring to when I talked about bastard stars of course because they have basically the same Ash of War except the wing of Estelle's comes out quicker and doesn't move you around so much making it a bit more consistent and reliable the DPS is higher because it comes out quicker so you can spam it more and faster then it also has the unique aspect of say the heavy attack with a completely FP free Magic Arc that goes to sort of close medium range it can combo up to four at once really quickly making a nightmare and PvP with the Mind Games that that creates also it's a curved sword and those are better than this patch they increase the running attack speed and reduce the recovery time for various attacks with curved swords and improve the first attack speed so these things that were already really lightning quick and one of the best roll catches for power stance running attacks in the game Yep they're faster and better so technically all four S2 weapons in this intelligence t-list were improved in 1.09 and I cannot tell you why they were already crazy now they're better and so that completes our list for intelligence overall the intelligence weapons have changed a good amount this patch let me know your thoughts though and maybe if there's any weapons that should have been included in the list let me know why for now though I've been Hollow you'll be new thanks for watching we'll see you next time [Music] Apollo with document on a daily arrangement to take our insanity and turn it into entertainment yes I said entertainment twice to reiterate that it is nice tool again to your faces on a mostly daily basis when you let us in your homes to make the Whole World a Stage is uh goodbye
