Top 10: Cranial Vessel Candlestand
So we'll work our way from the bottom to Elden Ring Items the top starting at number 10 which is the cranial Candlestick, but we actually recently tested it after the Patch 1.07 made a change to the attack power of the Asher war, and honestly, it made a huge difference, for quite a few months a lot of people are saying you should test it, you should try it, it's actually very effective, but the problem with it is that it's quite hard to get off, you will be interrupted, it's a slower animation, and you need to be like right under the target to really to get the damage out, but the fact is this is a lot of fire damage and a lot of enemies in this game, they're really weak to Fire and where that is the case, this can be insanely effective, it also covers a nice wide range of that, so that damage buff it made a big impact, and the thing is you can overcome that threat of being knocked out of it by improving your parties wearing really heavy armor combining that with something like an iron jar aromatic, and you can basically become immune and spam this fire rain consistently, it's just one of those ashes of war that allows you to turn yourself to rock and then just start spreading the damage, the output potential of that again, it's genuinely impressive, all it really took was that little bit of Attack Battle buff to make this really a threat and it doesn't take much of an effort to make a build that makes that work, so we've been really impressed by that.
Top 9: Hand of Malenia
This is one of the most popular weapons in the game, Hand of Malenia using the ash of War waterfowl dance, you can copy Melania and attack, super quick, super fast, and in a reasonable small area around the field, if you get yourself a successive hip build which is super easy, just a couple talismans and a wondrous physic, you can Skyrocket your AR by yeah all of the consistent hits that happen when you use this ash of War, much like the cranial Candlestick though, it is vulnerable to being knocked out of, so with some heavy armor and a bit of extra protection, you can make this work, but it is a bit harder to make work, the difference here is the damage you can get, because it's got bleed build up on top of the successive hits is ridiculous like you can kill bosses in one combination of this, and if you can get two full combos off not much is going to survive, because it's going to be in the tens of thousands of damage, the problem is it is hard to get it off, it requires clever timing and a bit of luck when it comes to you know enemy AI, it's undeniable though that it is really powerful when it works so it's another one we feel deserves a bit of a highlight on the list because its potential is very high.
Top 8: Mohgwtn's Sacred Spear
Its blood Boon ritual that Ash of War which was technically nerfed and yet it remains on this list, that's because the Nerf only affected the range of the ash of War which did affect things generally more in PvP, but even there it's not that big of a deal, the AOE is still massive, and ultimately, if you can get the full three-part Channel off which does take a bit of time admittedly, it will deal outrageous bleed damage, just stupidly High, multiple pops and your ARS obviously gonna Skyrocket when you do it you buff your weapon to have fire more bleed with a curse blood, it's one of those weapons where you just Spam The Ash of war, and kind of laugh if it ever gets to go off, because it's still got great range, you can start the cast going when say a boss is walking over to you, and if it doesn't knock you out of it, it's going to lose most of its Health get two or three of those off and even end game boss fights, and it's over it's done you've won, it is just another one that you need to actually sort of work out a build to give yourself as much protection as possible, but with buy Elden Ring Items the Poise changes that is more possible in 1.08 and Beyond which is nice.
