MMOexp: These duo frosting Ashes of War are pretty interchangeable in effect

[AventurineLe 0]

4 - Royal Knight's Resolve (S Tier)

Royal Knight's Resolve buffs up your weapon for Elden Ring Runes a few seconds and the next strike will deal with more damage, this is how you deal the most damage in one hit in the game, this is how you get incredible effective hits with many weapons with many builds in PVE and PVP. It remains undeniably extremely useful Ash of War, even though it was made slightly worse in a patch a while back.

5 - Cragblade (A Tier)

Cragblade was ridiculously buffed in 1.07, the buff lasts longer and you get more Poise damage on it. It's basically putting your weapon in the ground covering it in rock and now you're a trading machine that's massively important in this patch where Poise damage and trading using Poise is vital, heavier armor sets and Poise based builds are actually really strong now. Cragblade is basically made for that in fact the buff was so strong in 1.07, they walked it back a bit in the current patch of 1.08, no longer having as much Poise damage but still more than it used to and still undeniably a really useful tool. It is just really strong Ash of War that can go on bigger like colossal weapons too to really secure the trading options with a slower strikers. If for any reason you need Poise in your build, this should be something you should consider.

6 - Piercing Fang & Impaling Thrust (A Tier)

These duo frosting Ashes of War are pretty interchangeable in effect, both were buffed in the previous patch to have better motion speed, attack power, recovery. And Piercing Fang even has better Poise damage making it the better of the two because of that, but it is really splitting hairs. Thrust counter damage is worse in PvP though in the current patch. So both of them do take that hit here, but again it's not relevant enough to damn these ashes of war in any way they're still phenomenal and deserve to be at least A tier, either one is great, it really comes down to preference you suppose but the one with more Poise damage is going to Elden Ring Runes for sale be more relevant in PvP.
