Overview
Evaluations of holy weapons and setups for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC highlight options including the Greatsword of Damnation, Barbed Staff Spear, Devonia's Hammer, Blacksteel Great Hammer, and Marika's Hammer, alongside builds utilizing specific talismans, tears, and buffs.
Testing revealed varied performance across weapon skills, such as Devonia's Hammer dealing 3k to 5k damage with a long wind-up, the Barbed Staff Spear's Jori's Inquisition firing rapid arcs with high FP cost and lower long-range accuracy, the Blacksteel Great Hammer yielding strong ranged damage with Sacred Blade but low damage with Golden Land, and Marika's Hammer's Gold Breaker dealing 5k to 6k damage.
Critique is directed at FromSoftware's game design and vague skill descriptions that omit exact damage numbers or percentage buffs for skills like Sacred Order and Shared Order.
