Current Events > Shields were always good in Souls but they're hilariously busted in Elden Ring

(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't even need a weapon. Just two-hand it for better guard boost and spam guard counters and jumping smashes for some pretty decent damage and REALLY good staggers

Even after the nerf Barricade Shield is still god mode

Greatshield + thrust weapon destroys double bosses easily

Doing a no-death run this way just feels like cheating. It's simply not possible to lose.

I posted this before the nerfs and nobody listened to me

If you think that's busted, try Mimic Tear with high Faith using Blasphemous Blade.

Dude straight up solos bosses.

Blasphemous Blade is too late in the game to care about. Not much left to fight at that point.

You can rush for the Palisade at the start of the game to use until you can get the strength for Gilded which can be farmed in the very first area

you can rush blasphemous too via the warp in raya lucaria and the gimmick weapon makes the fight a joke at any soul level
