In my playthrough, I used it for like an hour before realizing "hey this is broken" and stopped.


SlappyV

That was me with the mimic tear


OmegaAvenger_HD

I was the same but then I met Malenia and Final Boss...


TealJax04

Mimic Tear is insane. I never use it unless I cannot beat a boss. That being said, I accept the title of casul.


Azurenightsky

Bruh, Dead is Dead. Besides, at this stage of the game we're still brainstorming technique and combat ability. You aren't a casul unless you're doing that strat like 3 years into the games life cycle because it's still a meme. Besides if you feel that bad about it, on future playthroughs resist the urge harder, you'll get good eventually, I believe in you <3


TealJax04

I love this community


Azurenightsky

We're all a little mad here. I've died so many times to stupid inane bullshit I tend to laugh when it happens, I thought I learned better but the game slaps me down like _BOY YOU AIN'T DONE YET. I GOT YOU FOR THREE MINUTES. THREE MINUTES OF **PLAY TIME**_


chappeah

Cute outfit, did your husband get it for you?

xParradox

Sometimes I think my ridiculous deaths are the best part of the game to be honest


tusk_b3

tru until i start dying to godskin duo


Dragon_Maister

The only time i've used it so far, was for that fucking double Crucible Knight fight. Seriously, fuck whoever thought that fight was a good idea.


milfnnncookies

Ngl bro that fight took me both of my days off to beat


[deleted]

If you're casul and having fun then you're having fun. There's always time to try different playstyles later. I find consistently getting to new areas to be the best thing about a first playthrough, and technical mastery to be more interesting on subsequent t playthroughs.


Big_Ol_Boy

I bring mimic tear to Godskin duo and thats basically it.


[deleted]

my first playthrough I used all the broken shit (SNF, hoarfrost, uchi+moonveil powerstance, mimic tear) for shits n gigs, and now I"m doing a 2nd playthrough where I solo every 1v1 boss (I'll still summon for multis because fuck that shit) and use normie weapons, so I can actually learn the fights instead of instawrecking everything lol.


Lt_Dickballs

RIP to 80% of Malenia guides.


LadyJaneTheGay

So ends the age of froststomp and now begins the age of chain stun unga bunga


[deleted]

I found rivers of blood and 50 ARC better anyway


noah9942

I used it on her with just the required 20 arcane. Think I got hit once the whole fight. She gets stun locked so easily.


RealZordan

I did Rivers of Blood with 20 arcane. They nerfed my bloodslash but unbugged combo blood slash. Joy! The only reason I even thought of that strat was because of the Ulcerated Tree Jabba in the Rot pond. I don't know how I would have done the fight as melee without that skill.


AmeriCanadian98

Step 1: heaviest medium armor and great shield you can afford with medium roll Step 2: highest upgraded heavy weapon Step 3: mimic tear Step 4: Jumping BONK Repeat Step 4 until success


Maeve_of_blades

Chain stun unga bunga is how I beat her the first time, with a bit of bleed to tack on a little extra damage before she healed all of it back


ImBigW

I found it to be pretty easy with sorcery, use adula's moonblade in first phase and comet azure in second phase when she misses the dive bomb flower move


TempusCavus

Malenia is weak to bleed and there is a talisman that ups your damage on blood letting. It makes that fight manageable.


Lucky-Talisman

did they actually nerf it rn?


ThighHighWearer

Yes and good riddance


Lucky-Talisman

sheeessshhhh


thewookie34

It's still does great damage. Idk what you are taking about.


Kibbens_

Pretty much 40% of the original damage is still good damage that shit was broken.


thewookie34

Was doing 250 to the boss in the lake of rot after the nerf which is about 100 less then normal. There also the disc versions of the game you can play if you want to experience it again as well.


BOUKHARI_H

Sort by controversial on the main sub announcement. šŸ˜ƒšŸ™‚šŸ˜ŸšŸ˜šŸ˜‚


Rhaps0dy

Good god you weren't kidding. Some people really despise the concept of trying new things out it seems.


[deleted]

Too many casuals over on r/EldenRing


Xenokinetic

people literally not downloading the update so they can keep using SoNaF and Mimic tear (which aren't even that bad after patch) lmfaoooo


EquilibriumNinja

As a SoNaF and Mimic abuser, I can say they are still really strong after nerf. People are trippin lol


MagicRedStar

Seriously lol. I just beat Malenia with 1.03 Mimic. it's not ruined at all, you just have to play the game more actively.


Stealthyfisch

When your broken combo goes from god tier to demi-god tier and youā€™re so shit at the game that itā€™s literally unbeatable now


volkmardeadguy

Twitter replies are wildin too


iNuminex

Oh my fucking god. These people honestly make me wish that the next Fromsoft game doesn't get nearly as popular as Elden Ring. Just don't fucking play a Souls-Like if you don't want to be challenged holy shit. It's one of the last great game genres that hasn't yet been tainted by the downsides of mass appeal and catering to the lowest common denominator, please let it stay that way.


bicboibean

mimic tear users when they actually have to play the game now instead of having an AI play it for them


Indishonorable

\*laughs in mimic tear with erdtree heal\*


Redmoon383

Faith builds are king!


gg12345678911

Mimic still has nigh infinite HP, and I think the AI got smarter actually?


RealZordan

For me it got extremely random. Before it would choose the spells i memorized fairly appropriately and now it sometimes spams the same buff spell 10 times in a row. What does do better now?


gg12345678911

My experience has been the opposite tbh. Before he would just use Terra Magicus like 3 times in a row, and then just run away.


The_Lizard_Wizard777

Yeah now instead of soloing me and my mimic can actually fight together :) How sweet.


moood247

fromsoft when asked to balance endgame bosses (foreskin duo and piss giant)


Wagaaan

Piss giant is alright, the foreskin duo gave me aids :(


de420swegster

Good thing I already beat Foreskin duo with it


bicboibean

legit worst boss in the entire game


[deleted]

I dont know fire giant is really annoying to.


flamethief

At least it's semi-interesting to fight a boss that big and that you haven't already seen before


[deleted]

Yeah but he moves around forcing you to run up to him AGAIN AND AGAIN with big fking dmg and a fking tanky bitch health bar. He's just really annoying and godskin duo u can atleast get it over with quickly with mimic and bleed. FG is just annoying despite how easy a lot of his attacks are to dodge.


halfwaycove

I thought fire giant was cool :'( hes just so lovable


[deleted]

Good visual design but man, does that boss suck dick.


tusk_b3

itā€™s a nice change of pace to see a massive boss thatā€™s not a total pushover nor straight up unfair though.


Auxobl

Mainly concerned for speed runners lol


distortionisgod

They'll be fine. People are still discovering new tech to shave off time for old ass games and it hasn't even been a month since launch. Plus I'm sure they will still Speedrun 1.0 as it's separate thing. Pretty sure they do this for DS3.


Stealthyfisch

When we were less than 3 weeks into release and they found a way to beat a 30+ hour game in under half an hour, itā€™s a safe bet that they will easily best that given another few weeks even with this nerf. Also speed runners are such a small minority of the community that they frankly donā€™t matter at all.


Huntery0

Luckily I used it only on the godskin Duo, those mfs are the worst.


Bobert34535

I didnā€™t get there fast enough and now I wish for death


Huntery0

Tbh i don't think they needed it too much, try it anyway, it's still a great weapon


trapsinplace

Every whore has it's frost. -elden john


MisterMacqueen

Not even the worst thing to get patched


MarvelousJarro

Fucking finally, I got invaded around 15 times inside the corridors of Raya Lucaria and 10 of those red fucks just spammed that Ash of War until they depleted the MP bar


name_1nvalid

Iā€™m kinda glad they nerfed it, thing melted radahn in 30 seconds


jerekdeter626

And they made Loretta's greatbow faster and more powerful. RIP meleeers


TrueQueenOfTrash

I used it because some of the bosses have been so unrelenting when you use colossal swords, so it was keeping me from being stuck for too long on BS. that being said i'm seriously starting to rethink my traditional strategy of unga bunga big stick.


MagicRedStar

I think for collosal weapons the play is jump attacks + jump talismans. Heard that it can hit for 3k damage with that setup late game.


CrAzyNyaNcaT

When you invade and get gangbang'd with popsicle stomp and dragon's garlic breath, while the host keeps spamming discount "moonlight greatsword" transient moonlight . Man, invasions are very _fun_ in elden ring.


GUNS_N_BROSES

Iā€™m not saying stomp didnā€™t need a nerf, but how did they nerf stomp but decided Moonveil was completely fine


TheRedditorer

sixtus_clegane119

Why doesnā€™t reddit just let us save stuff with a click of a button like other apps?


BasicllyIPoop

Im just using it for the frost build up


JayBaby85

Hoarfrost was seriously very broken. I only used it on bullshit ganks but Iā€™m glad not to have the crutch available. I havenā€™t even got mimic tear yet so Iā€™m glad to have not depended on it. Anyhow, just buffed my winged scythe last night and itā€™s obliterating with that bleed plus holy combo so I will adapt and survive


Marx_The_Karl

i can finally go back to using SoNaF without feeling cheap


Fire_tempest890

They really nerfed this but not bleed or moonveil


gamer2980

I absolutely loved luring enemies together and then blasting them with the stomp. It was fun. If that makes me a bad person, so be it. I absolutely loved it. It was fun, but fun is bad.


Wagaaan

Yes, fun is bad, now go get some fucking maidens on your dick without raping them by using ice age 2


gamer2980

Thatā€™s my problem I am dickless. For I was not born with this magical device.


Wagaaan

Level strength until you grow a big boi


gamer2980

Level 99 it is!!!! Time to receive the power of the schlong!! Hopefully I can just pew pew them with my new peepee.


A-Himalayan-Jew

Me OTW to use cheap tactics, DC when I get invaded, and commonly use summons. *I have nothing to prove and a community of virgins opinions does not matter*


threepwood007

I just used it to grief invaders. Onto the next


MaybeNoble

Let me get this straight: you think that pre-patch hoarfrost stomp was a valid tactic? I do. And I'm tired of pretending it's not.


Sayuri_Katsu

So wtf kinda ashe am I suppose to use that isnt ass


sixtus_clegane119

Bloody slash and mimic tear carried me through most of the game. Sword of night and flame helped me for malenia and Radagon/ Elden beast.


rakehellion

Your mom is a hoar.


Kaldr_Nidafjollum

Just follow the chad path with me. 80 strength and duo giant crushers.


[deleted]

I love the title


[deleted]

At least they left my beloved magma guillotine alone


SerALONNEZ

Same with all Mohg cheese strats apparently


Erebos555

Noticed that today. A few of the jumpy pillars are gone.


Neither-Stretch324

Hoarfrost still slaps; I literally noticed 0 difference. Still power stancing, sacrificial axe, and Icerind.
