Overview
Daniel tests builds and assesses damage output for top weapons from the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, demonstrating items such as the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, Frenzied Flame Perfume Bottle, Bloodfiend's Arm, Red Bear's Claw, Claws of Night, Dryleaf Arts, Great Katana variants, and Fire Knight's Greatsword.
The Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword delivers massive magic damage on charge and explosion, pairing well with magic-boosting Tears, the Rakshasa set, and specific talismans despite high FP usage.
The Frenzy Flame Perfume Bottle leverages the Rolling Sparks Ash of War and fire buffs with the Oil-Soaked Tear, though proximity requirements make oil application difficult.
The Bloodfiend's Arm receives an S-grade rating for producing easy staggers, heavy blood loss buildup, and high critical damage.
Red Bear's Claw stuns and pushes back enemies using bear-style slashes despite an unchangeable Ash of War, while Claws of the Night deliver blood-buildup projectile attacks that synergize with Lord of Blood's Exultation.
Fire Dryleaf Arts paired with charged Palm Blast yields substantial damage, the Great Katana provides range and Ash of War flexibility compared to Rakshasa's Great Katana locking into Weedcutter, and Fire Knight's Greatsword excels with innate fire damage and Occult affinity.
