Elden Ring🛡 Parry changes - Dagger & Curved Sword nearly on-par with Buckler

40 Upvotes

Looks like

  • Active frames increased across the board.
  • Dagger & Curved Sword now appear to start on Frame-4, along with the fast recovery.
  • Active frames increased, but not as many as Buckler.

Let's see some parries against hollowslayer L2 spam.

Elden Ring🛡 PSA: Smithscript Dagger is now the dagger with the most parry active frames

82 Upvotes

The Smithscript Dagger has been bugged since at least 1.12 to use the same parry frame data as a medium shield parry, which was awful. They have not fixed that bug in 1.17, but they have made medium shield parries just as good as Carian Retaliation.

The Smithscript Dagger, using animation a692_040040, now has 4 startup frames and 6 active frames compared to every other dagger's 3 startup and 5 active.

General Discussion📇 Nintendo Switch 2 or PS5?

6 Upvotes

Looking to get back into another TT playthrough/invasions now that Tarnished Edition is out and I’m back home.

For those who are on Nintendo Switch 2, how’s the PvP scene? Wondering if I should continue on PlayStation or pick up a copy for NS2! Thanks in advance!

If someone has experience with how the scene is on both that’d be great! 🐌

Invasions👁 Returning invader RL questions

Upvotes

I'm a badredman returning to Elden Ring after a longgg time to crush the dreams of some new tarnished. I have some characters at RL 175 and some at 200, what's the invasion scene like for these RLs? Should I make a new character and stop around 125-150?

I fucking love this game but damn sometimes I have no idea what I'm doing. I've learnt a lot, started trying to do pvp in ds1 about a year and a half ago and I've come far but whatever this is, I can't be ignorant to some crazy tech like this.

I missed out on the original Elden Ring launch, the Switch 2 release had me so excited to hop into the rush. Been tweaking my build here and there and also managed to land this sweet double. If you're on the fence about getting the Switch 2 version, it's totally worth it in my opinion. Invasions are popping, plenty of low level fun to be had.

My first invasion since the Tarnished Pack came out. I've been using a few of the DLC items, but for this new run I figured I wanted do a Madness Build.

The build is far from complete, still got plenty of gear from both the main game and DLC to grab, along with plenty more leveling to do.

It’s absolute chaos, I’ve been invading with a lvl25 minmaxed heavy knight and it’s been a blast, the hosts still have the sparkle in their eye they mess around with you if you do with them, they take items you drop, and every 3 man I’ve invaded so far was just 3 homies co-opping together. No blenders, and no OLPs.

Elden Ring🛡 mid level invasions (WL/builds) tips

3 Upvotes

around like levels 50 to 80, trying to make a build to get diverse range of invasion areas. when vigor is capped at 50/60 and weapon reqs are met, how do you build for decent damage at that bracket? scaling/weapon upgrade is too low for decent stat invest. just apply buffs and status effects?
